189: Tianxu Ancient City
Twenty-seven years later.
On this day, another major event occurred on the All Heavens Battlefield, causing countless forces to tremble.
The Blood Beast Tide, which was rarely seen for tens of thousands of years, had descended upon the Taichu Star Region last time, and now, after only five hundred years, it had descended again!
Moreover, this time, three Star Domains were simultaneously afflicted by the Blood Beast Tide!
As soon as the news spread, countless people throughout the All Heavens Battlefield were shocked.
“My heavens, what are these Blood Beasts going crazy about?”
“It’s only been five hundred years since the last Blood Beast Tide, and now it’s appeared again, and it’s three Blood Beast Tides at once. Could these Blood Beasts have been provoked?”
“There’s no precedent for this situation. Something abnormal must be afoot. I have a premonition that this matter is definitely not simple!”
“The three afflicted Star Domains are completely distributed in different directions, very far apart from each other, yet the Blood Beast Tide can still happen simultaneously, as if it was planned. I don’t believe this is just a simple coincidence!”
“Blood Beasts are such brainless creatures, could they really be playing some kind of conspiracy?”
“Let me tell you something, after the Blood Beast Tide receded, I went to the True Spirit Star Domain and saw with my own eyes that when those Blood Beasts retreated, they actually took away the vast majority of the Human Race’s corpses…”
“The Cangwu Star Domain is the same…”
In the Virtual God Realm, countless people were discussing fiercely.
Many people also personally went to those three Star Domains to investigate the situation and found some strange phenomena.
Many people had a premonition that a storm was brewing.
As expected.
After a mere half a year, three more Star Domains were invaded by the Blood Beast Tide!
This time, although those three Star Domains had prepared in advance, they still suffered heavy losses in the end.
Because this time, more than thirty Immortal Emperor-level Blood Beasts appeared!
The entire All Heavens Battlefield was completely shocked.
“They’ve gone mad, mad! Could all these Immortal Emperor-level Blood Beasts have come out in full force?”
“More than thirty Immortal Emperor-level Blood Beasts, it’s truly terrifying. How many Star Domains in this All Heavens Battlefield can withstand them?”
“These Blood Beasts seem to have become cunning. They probably suffered a great loss in the Taichu Star Region back then, and now they are targeting only the weaker Star Domains!”
“Damn, even Blood Beasts have grown brains these days!”
“The Heavens are too dangerous, I want to go home…”
“…”
Several consecutive Blood Beast Tides caused panic throughout the All Heavens Battlefield.
More and more people chose to leave the All Heavens Battlefield, planning to temporarily avoid the risk.
Some weaker Star Domains even planned to completely evacuate the All Heavens Battlefield and move back after this crisis passed.
They worried that the Blood Beast Tide would descend upon their Star Domain next time, and with their strength, they would be unable to resist.
Timely evacuation was the best solution.
…
Wu Clan’s station.
Wu Tian Ce walked into the palace where Wu Ning resided and saw him with his eyes closed, not like he was Cultivating, so he must have entered the Virtual God Realm.
He did not want to disturb him, so he stood to the side and waited.
“What’s wrong?”
Wu Ning quickly opened his eyes.
With his cultivation, multitasking was the simplest thing. Comprehending the Dao runes on the obelisk did not require his full attention.
He only needed to divide a wisp of consciousness to constantly comprehend it.
It was just a little slower, that’s all.
“It’s like this, several Immortal Emperors from Tianxu Ancient City have initiated a ‘Heavens Grand Assembly’ and invited all major forces to participate. Our Wu Clan is also among the invited. I wonder if Dao Child is interested in joining the fun.”
Wu Tian Ce quickly explained.
“Heavens Grand Assembly?”
Wu Ning raised an eyebrow. Just a few Immortal Emperors, yet they made such a grand name for it.
“What is this assembly for?”
“It’s about the Blood Beasts. They seem to have discovered the reason for the Blood Beast rampage. The situation should be quite tricky, otherwise, there would be no need to invite various major forces to participate.”
Wu Ning nodded slightly, a wisp of his consciousness roamed in the Virtual God Realm, and he quickly understood the situation.
“Hmm, in that case, let’s go and see.”
Tianxu Ancient City, he had never been there before.
That place was the central core of the entire All Heavens Battlefield, the gathering place for Immortal Emperors.
At least half of the Immortal Emperors who achieved Dao in the All Heavens Battlefield were in that place.
…
Soon, an ancient warship ascended from the Wu Clan, instantly tearing through the void and disappearing into the vast Star Sea.
Wu Ning stood with his hands behind his back on the deck of the ancient warship, his gaze piercing through layers of space, looking at an extremely distant place.
“Interesting, no wonder Blood Beast Tides keep happening. It turns out there’s a big fellow behind it…”
Wu Tian Ce stood to the side and, hearing this, couldn’t help but ask, “Dao Child, you mean there’s a terrifying creature behind those Blood Beasts, manipulating them from behind the scenes?”
Wu Ning nodded, “Hmm, it’s one, or you could say, a group.”
Wu Tian Ce immediately understood something.
“When our Taichu Ancient City encountered the Blood Beast Tide, we discovered that behind those Blood Beasts, there was actually an even more terrifying Immortal Emperor-level special creature hidden. At that time, I felt something was off…”
“It seems that these special creatures are indeed behind the scenes, instigating the Blood Beast Tide to invade the various Star Domains!”
Wu Tian Ce said with certainty, feeling that his speculation was very reasonable.
After all, special creatures are not as brainless as Blood Beasts. The outstanding ones among them are more cunning than most of the Human Race, and driving a beast tide is effortless for them.
Furthermore, special creatures have been captured and hunted by various forces in the Heavens for countless years, and they are filled with hatred for these outsiders, so they have every motive to launch a Blood Beast Tide for revenge.
To this, Wu Ning smiled faintly.
The actual situation was much more serious than that.
Half a month later.
The ancient warship traversed the endless starry sky and finally arrived at Tianxu Ancient City.
Unlike the Taichu Ancient City, which was a Star Domain, this place was an entire super continent.
It was like the Immortal Capital continent of the Ancient Immortal Court, or even larger, extremely vast.
After all, it was the work of the Tian Xu Divine Kingdom, the supreme overlord force of the Heavens.
Putting away the ancient warship, the group flew into the ancient city.
“Hmm?”
Wu Ning’s gaze swept across, and he immediately discovered a familiar figure.
Eastern Region of the ancient city.
Bang!!
Murong Haoyu’s body, like a meteor, heavily smashed onto an ancient tavern, only to be immediately bounced back by the tavern’s defensive Restriction.
“Pfft—”
Murong Haoyu fell to the ground, his internal organs damaged, and he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.
“Haha, I thought he was so strong, turns out he’s only an Immortal King Early Stage!”
“Useless trash, if you kneel and beg for mercy now, perhaps this prince will spare you today.”
“Dream on!”
“Heh, just relying on being older, what’s there to be proud of!” Murong Haoyu sneered.
He struggled to stand up from the ground but was immediately sent flying.
However, this time he did not hit any buildings.
A familiar voice entered his ears.
“Cousin, long time no see, why are you in such a sorry state?”
Murong Haoyu twisted his head with difficulty, a smile uglier than crying appearing on his face, “Cousin… why are you here?”
Wu Ning placed him on the ground and infused a trace of power into him to heal his injuries, “My matter can wait. Cousin, what happened to you?”
“Sigh…”
Murong Haoyu sighed, “It’s all because I didn’t check the almanac before going out today. Just now, I saw someone speaking rudely to you, Cousin, so I went up to reason with them.”
“Who knew that guy suddenly went crazy, without a word, he immediately attacked me!”
