332: The dark race’s targets are Su Xi and Xuan Yuan!

“The leader was Dark Shadow Empress Su Xi, also known as Shadow Empress.”

“The remaining three Monarchs were named Purgatory, Bloodlust, and Nightmare.”

“Without exception, these Four Great Monarchs were all Immortal Martial level existences back then, and they were also the Peak battle power of that era.”

“In the beginning, before your Xuanyuan Ancient Clan's ancestor had risen, the Dark Race was the strongest force in this Yuan Realm. Their dark power enveloped every place in the Yuan Realm except the Starry Sky Secret Sea, and almost no living being was their match.”

“And that era, at its start, was also called the Dark Era.”

“Later, after your ancestor Xuanyuan rose, for some unknown reason, perhaps fate or coincidence,”

“He just happened to encounter Dark Shadow Empress Su Xi, who was undergoing a mortal trial to find an opportunity for Breakthrough.”

“Thus, Su Xi and your ancestor Xuanyuan traveled together, witnessing each other's growth, and their relationship was quite ambiguous.”

“Precisely because of Su Xi's protection, the other Three Great Monarchs also allowed Xuanyuan to grow, until he finally became the Peak of Immortal Martial, but he also stood on the opposite side of the Dark Race.”

The voice within the Netherlight carefully explained some of the details from back then to Xuanyuan Tianhao.

However, Xuanyuan Tianhao became somewhat confused as he listened.

“Revered Master, but since our clan's ancestor and that Shadow Empress grew up together, why did they eventually become enemies?” Xuanyuan Tianhao asked with particularly confused eyes.

“This has to start with the Dark Race's goal.”

“Whether it was the other Three Great Monarchs or Dark Shadow Empress Su Xi, they all actually held one goal: to restore the Yuan Qi of the Yuan Realm to the Peak of the Nine Ancestors Era, and thereby find a way to resist the Yuan Calamity.”

“And to restore the Yuan Qi of the Yuan Realm, the most important point was for their Dark Race to become stronger!”

“Just Immortal Martial was not enough; they needed to achieve Immortal King to find a way to restore Yuan Qi.”

“And within this, it involved a forbidden racial technique of the Dark Race, a forbidden art called Dark Omen!”

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Tianhao's face showed confusion: “Dark Omen?”

His Revered Master's voice continued to explain to him: “Indeed, Dark Omen requires a super forbidden technique activated by the Four Great Monarchs, gathering the entire Dark Race.”

“When Dark Omen is activated, infinite dark Qi will be born and spread throughout the entire Yuan Realm. At the same time, any racial being in the Yuan Realm, as long as they touch the dark Qi of that Dark Omen, will be assimilated into the Dark Race.”

The goal of the Dark Race Monarchs back then was to activate Dark Omen, so that all races in the entire Yuan Realm would become the Dark Race.”

“Then, they would use a Bloodline technique within the clan for sacrifice, using the Dark Blood of the Dark Race to help the Monarchs ascend to the Immortal King realm!”

“And after your ancestor Xuanyuan learned of this matter, he had a conversation with Dark Shadow Empress Su Xi, who had already recovered her memories at that time.”

“It is unknown whether Su Xi truly fell in love with your ancestor or if her mind was muddled, but she genuinely, simply for your ancestor's sake, chose to give up activating Dark Omen.”

“But alas, your ancestor Xuanyuan did not believe Su Xi. Under the strong suggestions of other ancestral clans, he finally decided to trick those Dark Race members into the Endless Sea, and with the Xuanyuan Sword and the power of the Sea Eye, he united with the ancestors of various clans to completely Seal them within the underwater space.”

“Finally, after dealing with the Dark Race, Xuanyuan and the ancestors of those clans sealed this history, forbidding anyone from spreading it. At the same time, the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan officially and legitimately became the new strongest force in the Yuan Realm.”

Hearing all these explanations, Xuanyuan Tianhao's heart ached.

Objectively speaking, the Dark Race was not at fault.

Su Xi had already agreed not to activate Dark Omen, yet their ancestor Xuanyuan still tricked her.

But he was a descendant of Xuanyuan; he could only ever stand from the perspective of the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan.

Looking at the matter this way, no matter what the Dark Race was like, they were his clan's mortal enemies!

He, Xuanyuan Tianhao, and the Dark Race were bound to be irreconcilable!

“Revered Master, I want revenge!”

“No matter the outcome, I must make that Su Xi, and those other three Dark Monarchs pay the price!!” Xuanyuan Tianhao gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred and pain.

The Netherlight was silent for a moment, then said: “No problem.”

“Dealing with a mere Dark Race will be effortless once this Revered Master recovers.”

“Hao'er, for now, you will stay here.”

“Just wait for this Revered Master to recover. In a few months, after this Revered Master has fully recovered, I will personally lead you to slaughter the entire Dark Race!”

Xuanyuan Tianhao nodded with firm intent for revenge: “Good! Then I will wait for Revered Master to recover and avenge Hao'er!!”

...

With such a massive commotion in the Endless Sea, the sea disappeared, completely enveloped by darkness, and a new Dark Kingdom was condensed.

Countless forces and beings in the Divine Continent Pure Land felt curious. Some who were closer initially wanted to investigate.

However, feeling the dark Qi floating in those spaces caused their Souls to suffer no small impact, so they dared not approach.

Under the instruction of Third Master, the General Tower of Misty Rain Tower also unsealed the history concerning the Dark Race that had been forbidden in that era, and then publicly announced it throughout the Divine Continent Pure Land, proclaiming it to the world.

As soon as this news broke, countless beings felt horrified and trembled.

The Dark Race had revived, and the Four Great Monarchs were all terrifying figures of the Immortal realm.

In this way, wouldn't the Dark Race instantly become the strongest force in the current Yuan Realm?

Even Thatched Cottage would be suppressed.

The Divine Continent Pure Land was thus thrown into an uproar in various cities and regions, with almost all discussions revolving around the Dark Race.

It was unknown whether the revival of the Dark Race would be good or bad for the Yuan Realm.

It is worth mentioning that Misty Rain Tower only announced the origin and power of the Dark Race, but did not publicly disclose anything about Dark Omen.

Perhaps they also wanted to avoid causing unnecessary panic.

...

Thatched Cottage.

Third Master stood on a mountain Peak at this moment, with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance with deep and profound eyes.

At this moment, Uncle Zhuang's figure walked over and stood behind him, saying: “Third Master, a message has been sent.”

Third Master did not turn his head. He calmly replied: “I know, Uncle Zhuang, send this message to Tian Chen.”

“Yes, Third Master.”

Then, Uncle Zhuang immediately walked towards the mountain forest where the Masked Man was located.

That mountain forest, which was originally lush with vegetation, now had sword marks left on many of its trees, and some Sword Intent even lingered in the space above, not dissipating for a long time.
