Chapter 1784: The Descent of the Kai Tian Assembly
Second Young Master Wuji had never expected these Kai Tian Assembly members to agree so readily, nor had she anticipated that they would actually jump into the Guixu.
Who in the world didn’t know the dangers of the Guixu? Who didn’t know the fearsome reputation of Second Young Master Wuji?
Even the Third Young Master of the Miluo Palace dared not act presumptuously before her, and when seeking her aid, had to lower his stance.
Moreover, no one dared to traverse from the Guixu to the next cosmic epoch, except for those who had attained the Dao in the Guixu, like Qin Mu and the Empress. This was because the Dao of the Guixu was fundamentally incompatible with the Dao conduct of those who had attained the Dao. Entering the Guixu meant entering the most intense realm of the annihilation tribulation!
Their Dao trees, Dao flowers, and Dao fruits, their Great Luo Heavens, and their thirty-six layers of Dao realms would all disintegrate within the Guixu, becoming nourishment for the Second Young Master!
Yet these Kai Tian Assembly members were so audacious, completely disregarding her, clearly arriving prepared.
The thirty-five Kai Tian Assembly members, led by the smiling-faced man, continuously fell from the Guixu entrance of the Sixteenth Epoch. The moment they entered the Guixu Abyss, the annihilation tribulation of the Sixteenth Epoch became terrifying beyond measure!
The annihilation tribulation within the abyss could shred everything, and the thirty-five Kai Tian Assembly members were like candle flames falling amidst a violent storm, seemingly on the verge of extinguishing at any moment!
Within the storm, along the red rope knot that had transformed into crimson chains, white light climbed upward at incredible speed. It was strands of white hair, weaving and growing across the surface of the chains, sealing them.
Soon, the five chains of the red rope knot had all turned white.
Ever since Third Young Master Lingxiao had undone the first rune of the red rope knot for Wuji, the seal used by the Master of the Miluo Palace to suppress her had loosened.
With the first breach, Wuji had a breakthrough point, continuously invading with the Dao of the Guixu, wearing away the red rope knot seal of the Miluo Palace Master.
Now, the runes of the red rope knot that had been broken numbered in the hundreds of thousands!
The thirty-five Kai Tian Assembly members were still in the midst of their fall, and as they descended, the power of the annihilation tribulation grew stronger and stronger, reaching a level where an ordinary Dao achiever arriving here would have all their Dao conduct stripped away in an instant, turning into tribulation ash!
Entering the Guixu from the Seventeenth Epoch was a completely different concept from entering from the Sixteenth Epoch. This was because the universe of the Seventeenth Epoch was still in a state of growth, not yet fully developed, and the energy of the Guixu there was at its weakest.
Even ordinary Heavenly Venerables could rely on their own cultivation to protect themselves, resisting the power of the Guixu and thus entering its interior. Whether they could escape depended on their individual ability.
But the Guixu within the great annihilation tribulation of the Sixteenth Epoch could be said to be the most perilous place in that epoch. The power of the Guixu became incredibly violent and terrifying!
Even existences at the level of Hall Masters found it difficult to protect themselves if they fell into the Guixu, and even the Young Masters of the Miluo Palace could hardly claim they would emerge intact!
As the thirty-five Kai Tian Assembly members fell, their physical bodies and primordial spirits continuously split and disintegrated.
Although each of them was extremely powerful, facing such a ferocious Guixu Abyss, they could hardly withstand it.
Some among them had Dao trees, Dao fruits, Dao flowers, and Great Luo Heavens, but before they even reached the bottom of the abyss, their Dao trees and Dao flowers disintegrated, their Great Luo Heavens shattered, and their Dao fruits turned to nothing!
Chaos qi cascaded down like waterfalls from the heights, scattering and mingling with the white chains of the red rope knot, creating a mesmerizing sight.
Second Young Master Wuji, lying at the very bottom of the Guixu, reclined on the Chaos Sea, watching this scene quietly, a look of delight spreading across her face.
"So many experts come to deliver energy to me, nourishing me. Teacher, oh teacher, you suppressed me in the Chaos Sea, hoping to wear down my cultivation and strength, to grind me to death. You never expected that there would be people so foolish as to plan to borrow the Guixu to sneak into the next epoch!"
She let out a chuckle. "Once I devour them, I can return to my peak state, even surpassing it! Teacher, today is the day I break free! I will fulfill your ideals, but my methods will differ from yours!"
"I will devour everything, consume all the decay of the entire universe, and reforge a perfect world as you dreamed!"
Suddenly, she grew excited, but then an anomaly occurred among the thirty-five Kai Tian Assembly members as they fell. The chaos qi around those whose Great Luo Heavens had shattered began to change!
The chaos qi, during their descent, transformed into miniature universes, expanding outward, quickly forming complete celestial realms!
Within those celestial realms emanated a bizarre and unfathomable Dao aura, and Second Young Master Wuji found herself unable to distinguish the types of these Daos!
The physical bodies of the Kai Tian Assembly members also shattered amidst the destruction, then collapsed and disintegrated, turning into streams of chaos qi that fell into the thirty-five celestial realms.
Those chaos qi, like rainbows, entered those worlds, and upon touching the ground, they transformed into Kai Tian Assembly members, still with their original appearances!
Second Young Master Wuji had never seen such strange Daos or such peculiar divine abilities. She watched as the thirty-five celestial realms, like thirty-five bright and dazzling pearls, continued to fall toward the Chaos Sea.
These thirty-five worlds were self-contained realms, constantly annihilating and being reborn amidst the annihilation tribulation. Despite the unimaginable power of the tribulation, the thirty-five Kai Tian Assembly members remained unharmed, with no loss of Dao conduct whatsoever!
Second Young Master Wuji had not absorbed even a shred of their power!
"These blasphemers of the Dao really do have some tricks up their sleeves!"
With a thought from Second Young Master Wuji, the white hair entwined around the five chains suddenly lifted off and shot toward the thirty-five Kai Tian Assembly members!
Sssss—
Strands of white hair pierced into the thirty-five celestial realms, frantically devouring the energy of those worlds, and some even penetrated the bodies and primordial spirits of those Kai Tian Assembly members!
"But they’re just appetizers for me!"
Just as Second Young Master Wuji said this, the strands of white hair suddenly snapped. The divine abilities and Dao techniques of the thirty-five Kai Tian Assembly members were bizarre beyond measure, severing her white hair. Her hair, once it fell into those celestial realms, lost all connection!
Not only had she failed to absorb the power of the Kai Tian Assembly members, but her white hair had actually transformed into their power within those realms!
She was being absorbed by the Kai Tian Assembly members!
Second Young Master Wuji flew into a rage. Suddenly, she activated the Guixu lotus of the Sixteenth Epoch. The lotus platform rapidly descended, sweeping toward the thirty-five Kai Tian Assembly members, shattering one celestial realm after another.
The Dao of the Guixu was the most mysterious and terrifying Dao under heaven. As the supreme achiever of this Dao, she held herself in high regard, even believing she was the only one with the potential to surpass the Master of the Miluo Palace!
Yet, after a minor clash with the Kai Tian Assembly members, she had suffered a small loss—something she could not tolerate!
The power of the red rope knot erupted, suppressing her strength. Ignoring this, Second Young Master Wuji suddenly leaped from the surface of the Chaos Sea, let out a sharp cry, and her white hair rose. Lotus leaves floated into the air from the Chaos Sea, and countless Guixu of various sizes emerged on its surface, like black holes that devoured and refined everything, surging toward the thirty-five Kai Tian Assembly members!
The thirty-five Kai Tian Assembly members found themselves amidst a world-destroying tribulation. Their celestial realms collapsed and shattered one after another under Wuji’s attacks, devoured by the Guixu!
Their celestial realms were dragged into those Guixu divine abilities of varying sizes, and their physical bodies and primordial spirits were also pulled into the Guixu, beginning to transform into chaos qi.
Even so, those Kai Tian Assembly members remained unhurried, as if each had their own countermeasures.
"Kai Tian Assembly, you have the strength to survive the annihilation tribulation, but do you have the strength to survive the creation tribulation?"
Second Young Master Wuji roared, suddenly activating the Guixu divine ability. The Dao of the Guixu had two aspects: destruction and creation. Now, the other aspect, the power of the creation tribulation, began to erupt!
Boom!
Within each Guixu divine ability, the creation tribulation exploded. The Kai Tian Assembly members were completely annihilated, and the Guixu divine abilities detonated. Above Second Young Master Wuji, a series of strange phenomena appeared, depicting the evolution of the Five Tai during the creation of heaven and earth.
Second Young Master looked up at this magnificent and spectacular scene, a smile spreading across her face.
The world often misunderstood the Guixu, thinking it was only about destruction, but the creation aspect of the Guixu was even more terrifying!
Dao achievers might survive the annihilation tribulation, but the creation tribulation was a great calamity that even the Young Masters of the Miluo Palace found terrifying.
At the moment a new universe was born, the unleashed power would destroy everything from the past universe, giving rise to a new one!
And those who had attained the Dao in the Guixu were the only ones capable of mastering this power!
Within the Miluo Palace, the only ones who dared claim they could survive the creation tribulation were the Master of the Miluo Palace and the First Young Master, Tai Shang. No one else could.
This was also why the Hall Masters and Young Masters of the Miluo Palace feared her so much.
Under her creation divine ability, the Kai Tian Assembly members had no hope of survival!
However, just as miniature universes were forming above the Chaos Sea, the changes of the Five Tai suddenly ceased. Within those falling miniature universes, strange Daos that Second Young Master had never seen or heard of began to emerge!
The creation process of these miniature universes was completely beyond her control, and she could not control it!
The evolutionary paths of these miniature universes became bizarre and unpredictable. By the time they landed on the surface of the Chaos Sea, the thirty-five Kai Tian Assembly members emerged one after another from those miniature universes, surrounding her in a strange formation.
The formation of the Kai Tian Altar!
"Second Young Master Wuji is indeed extraordinary in strength."
The leading smiling-faced man remained as before, his smile terrifying. His facial muscles seemed fixed in place, his mouth stretched wide in a grin, revealing a full set of teeth.
When he spoke, his facial muscles didn’t move, only his tongue inside his mouth. Yet his smile wasn’t a mask—it was a genuine smile!
A smile that sent chills down one’s spine.
"In our battle with the Third Young Master, we only managed to wound him before he escaped. But in our battle with the Second Young Master, we’ve been repeatedly beaten, unable to fight back."
The smiling-faced man’s expression remained unchanged, his tone seemingly praising Second Young Master Wuji, but his smile was truly bone-chilling.
"Unfortunately, whether it’s the annihilation tribulation or the creation tribulation, we’ve experienced them too many times. After all, the creation tribulation of the Seventh Epoch was initiated by us."
The smiling-faced man laughed. "Second Young Master, are you ready to witness the Kai Tian Grand Sacrifice of our Tian Du?"
Second Young Master Wuji’s expression turned grave. The sixteen Guixu lotuses suddenly merged into one, forming a sixteen-tiered lotus platform. She stood barefoot upon it.
At that moment, the thirty-five Kai Tian Assembly members shifted their positions, and the Kai Tian Grand Sacrifice erupted!
Back in the Ancestral Court, Qin Mu suddenly felt a stirring in his heart. He looked up and saw that within the seal above the Ancestral Court, an incredibly terrifying energy had burst forth, breaking through his seal!
