Chapter 755 - 749: Father of the Grand Dao!
On Earth, all living beings and non-living beings were bearing the brunt of the impact from the Otherworld in an extreme timeframe.
Humans mutated, transformed into wood, then were burned to ashes by the pitch-black Fiery Fire!
Thunder shattered the darkness, illuminating the long sky, but instead of bringing dawn, it blasted the earth to dust!
Metal elements within minerals, buildings, and Gonggong’s infrastructures gathered together. Clearly lifeless, yet under the influence of a strange, intangible force, they gradually revived, twisted, and deformed into metal life forms!
The erosion from the Endless Plane was in full swing!
Death followed like a shadow. Irrespective of skin color, nationality, or whether one was a high-ranking elite or an ordinary civilian, under the erosion of Otherworld’s power, no one could preserve themselves.
Under the combined effects of Fiery Fire, Thunder, Immortal Wood, and Metal, the vacuum barrier shattered, and in the sky, several dozen figures suddenly appeared.
These figures, while possessing a basic human form, differed in details.
Three eyes, pointed ears, no mouth, long tails...
These visitors from the Otherworld, standing high in the sky and riding the winds, had varied postures, exuded powerful auras, and wore arrogant expressions, their eyes shining with disdainful divine light.
From their positions, it was clear this group of Otherworldly visitors was not of one mind, but split into four distinct factions.
"This planet belongs to the Fiery Fire Universe, no objections, right?"
"Ha! On what grounds? What do you count for? Even our master of the Immortal Wood Plane hasn’t spoken, and yet here you, a mere foot soldier, dare to spout such nonsense, courting death?"
"How arrogant you are! You wooden puppet, do you wish to turn into embers?"
"Though attributes counter each other, I am the Sealed Divine King of the Immortal Wood Plane, inherently capable of reversing attribute suppression, bearing the title of the Flame-Extinguishing Divine King. If you are unafraid of death, by all means, try!"
"Enough! No infighting! Have you not noticed? This world’s Extraordinary Powers may be weak, with little to no serious resistance encountered, but its rules are very peculiar. Cooperation and caution are necessary!"
"Hearing you say so, it does seem that way. We come from different universes, yet upon arriving on this planet, we all somehow use the language of this indigenous civilization..."
"I just used Divine Thought to scan the heavens and earth, and found that within Earth Civilization, there are various language systems. The language we are currently using for this conversation is called [Chinese], a young language, having been passed down for less than ten thousand years."
"This so-called ’Chinese’ language, indeed has a bit of charm..."
"Be cautious, do not be too arrogant, if your arrogance were to ruin the grand scheme of His Majesty the Divine Emperor, I will be the first to not spare you!"
"I give you face because you are the Jilei Immortal Monarch, but if I do not, what are you to speak to me this way?"
"Quick with words, I hope your skills are as tough as your mouth! Come, battle with me first!"
The visitors from the four different planes of the Otherworld were arrogant and conceited, almost overflowing with a sense of superiority, seemingly giving no consideration to Earth Civilization, even during battles, putting most of their Energy into infighting.
It was as if, in their eyes, the only opponent they could acknowledge was each other.
As the invaders from the four major planes seemed on the brink of internal strife, ready to fight amongst themselves, the always silent Frost Gold Great World finally spoke to turn the situation around.
"Please temper your tempers a bit, past grudges, while unlikely to be resolved with just a few words or a single cooperation, now our positions are the same, aiming to conquer this universe. To ensure victory, it’s best not to do anything that would cause pain to friends and joy to foes."
Having said this, representatives from the Immortal Wood Plane, Fiery Fire Universe, and Profound Thunder Dimension also successively expressed agreement, defusing the impending internal conflict.
Even so, some top-tier Extraordinary strongmen remained displeased.
"Earth Civilization is indeed strange, but this [Sin Universe] is, after all, just a unitary universe, lacking even a single derivative isomorphic and alternate dimensional homologous universe. My Profound Thunder Dimension has conquered and occupied over three hundred and ninety multiverses! Is there a need to be so cautious?"
"The glorious battle records of the sages of Profound Thunder Dimension have nothing to do with you, Jilei Immortal Monarch. The multiverses you personally conquered are only a little over forty, right?"
"All right, stop arguing! The situation in the Sin Universe is different from other worlds, proceed with extreme caution!"
"Conquer one Star System at a time! Starting with Earth!"
"Originally thought that the first battle upon arriving at the Sin Universe would be a fierce fight, but Earth’s top-notch Extraordinary people... are too foolish."
"Indeed, high-end Combat Power is crucial, but top-tier Extraordinaries come from the populace. With the foundation tribe suffering heavy casualties, this civilization’s extinction is not far away."
"Earth’s top warriors, ignorant and shortsighted!"
Just as these Otherworld invaders were bragging with abandon, a voice suddenly echoed in the space they occupied.
"I only agree with the first part of the things you just said."
Vaguely, these powerful Extraordinaries, bearing the noble titles of Divine King or Immortal King, were in shock, feeling as if they were hallucinating.
In their view appeared the silhouette of a white-haired youth, slowly coming into focus.
He was tall, with brows as sharp as blades, a prominent nose, fair skin, eyes reflecting a gleaming silver light. Clad in a black high-collared coat with silver trimmings, he wore boots adorned with a Hexagram cloud design, a Straight-Blade Tang Blade at his waist. Handsome and elegant, he exuded an extraordinary aura.
While the invaders from the four Great Worlds had different cultures and aesthetics, they had to admit that this juvenile, whose features closely resembled those of Earth Humans, was indeed exceptionally attractive, full of charm, making one forget mundane thoughts at first sight.
"What a fine youth! A fine youth indeed! Refined in spirit, Heaven-blessed and full of mystique, enveloped in purple aura, always accompanied by mystery, as if... no, he must be the child of the Great Path, destined to inherit my mantle and all my skills!"
"This youth is destined to be my disciple! Anyone who attempts to take him from me will be my mortal enemy, a feud to the death!"
"Gasp... Such a being exists in this world? Were it not for the enmity and the weighty responsibilities at hand, I might indeed wish to take a disciple myself."
"Take a disciple? For one such as him, favored by destiny, a child of the Great Path, if confident enough not to be backfired by fate, better to kill him early, on the spot, and seize a portion of his core fate! If you won’t act, then I’ll gladly receive this fate!"
"Intelligence has been gathered; he is the [Prophet] Ma Ran, openly recognized as Earth’s greatest."
"So slow! Child of the Great Path? This person... is clearly the father of the Great Path!"
