Chapter 1808: Dark Sect Master

"Dark Sect Master." When these three words were indifferently spoken, everyone was completely shellshocked. Their minds went blank as they stared at the young woman.

Even Li Luo felt his heart thumping wildly. A faint buzzing sound rang in his ears and his face turned pale. The existence that had come out of the coffin was far more terrifying than anyone had even imagined.

It wasn't the extinction resonance that everyone had expected, nor was it the Origin of Absolute Corruption—it was the combination of the two most terrifying existences that had ever been born. Something created from their process of mutual destruction.

All of the Heavenly Emperors in the world had always wondered whether the Legendary Sect Master or the Origin of Absolute Corruption had come out victorious. Everyone assumed it was the Origin of Absolute Corruption, as the Sacred Void Resonance Sect had been completely destroyed. Some said that the Sect Master had won, since the Origin of Absolute Corruption had vanished off the face of the earth.

In the end, the secret was finally revealed when the coffin opened up for the world to see. The answer was something no one had anticipated. Both the Origin of Absolute Corruption and the Sect Master, existences that defied imagination, had lost. This was because they had been supplanted by the one that referred to herself as the Dark Sect Master.

No one could possibly know exactly what the Dark Sect Master truly was; even the Heavenly Emperor experts were left at a loss. The Origin of Absolute Corruption and the Sect Master had battled each other for a long time, eroding away at each other's power. This strange being was produced as a result of that struggle. The only thing that was certain was that those two were unmatched in their prime—they had truly reached the pinnacle of power.

Amidst the oppressive silence, Heavenly Emperor Jiang pondered for a moment before asking, "In that case... I'd kindly like to ask you, Dark Sect Master, how do you plan to end the chaos in the world? The Shadow World is the source of the chaos, and unless it's cleansed, peace cannot return to the world."

Sightless Underworld smirked coldly. "No, the living creatures of the divine continents are inferior, merely sustenance for the Shadow World. They are like chickens being raised to be slaughtered. They belong to the lowest caste of creatures. If we wish to end the chaos, the Shadow World has to occupy the divine continents and rear the living creatures here. Only then will the chaos end."

The leaders of the two opposing worlds began to engage in a war of words. Those who were watching found this scene odd. After all, neither side had to debate the topic in the past; it was always a battle of life and death.

However, with the appearance of the Dark Sect Master, the Origin Reversion War suddenly seemed like little children throwing tantrums. The Dark Sect Master possessed terrifying power, capable of changing the situation on a whim. This could potentially cause devastation to whichever side she chose. As a result, everyone felt powerless. The entire world's fate rested in the hands of that powerful being.

At this moment, she had a face full of smiles as she watched the two faction leaders squabble. A while later, she gently said, "The two of you are not looking at the bigger picture. The divine continents and the Shadow World are two sides of the same coin. The Shadow World came into being because of the negative emotions of the living creatures. From a certain point of view, both of you originate from the same source, so choosing one side to destroy is not appropriate. Thus, I've come up with a real solution: to follow the Origin Reversion Institute's original mission. The genesis of light and dark are one, good and evil cease as one."

The Dark Sect Master's warm laugh echoed through every corner of the world. "I will correct the errors of this world and completely merge both the divine continents and the Shadow World. When that happens, the creatures of both sides will be able to fuse. Only when both good and evil come together and create a new life will they be able to live in my new world."

This instantly caused all of the Heavenly Emperor-level experts, whether they were from the divine continents or the Shadow World, to have stiffened expressions. A bonechilling frost filled everyone's bodies. They could all sense an indescribable terror welling up within each other.

The creatures of both worlds would fuse and create a new lifeform? Just what sort of abomination would that be? Just what was this terrifying ideal?

The hearts of the Heavenly Emperors of the divine continents sank, then anger surged within them. For thousands of years, every expert who reached the Heavenly Emperor Stage had sacrificed themselves to protect the world. However, all of their efforts were now squandered, as they would be forced to merge with vile creatures, literally becoming inhuman.

The tiny amount of hope that they held in their hearts upon seeing the Dark Sect Master had been violently extinguished. They truly thought that she would bring an end to the chaos. In the end, her words were ravings filled with lunacy that no one was willing to accept.

The people of the divine continents weren't the only ones with these thoughts. Sightless Underworld and the other Grand Devil Kings were furious as well. What they wished for was to enslave and feed on the living creatures. They wouldn't debase themselves to fuse with the lowly living creatures. Furthermore, would they still remain themselves after merging? This was too evil, even for them.

Thus, an unbelievable scene unfolded. The two sides that regarded each other as mortal enemies stood on the same side when faced with the insane words of the Dark Sect Master.

At this moment. Li Luo spoke up. "It's no wonder you were sealed. I have a feeling that the black coffin's seal wasn't only the Sect Master's work. The Origin of Absolute Corruption must also have had a hand in creating it."

He icily stared at the Dark Sect Master. The concept of the unity of good and evil was something no one accepted.

The Dark Sect Master looked at Li Luo and softly said, "What you're saying isn't wrong. Neither of them agreed with my way of thinking, so they both chose to seal me. It was rather unfortunate that they were already at their weakest points by the time they finally discovered me. As a result, they were unable to erase me from existence. After all, I was them, and they were me."

The Dark Sect Master's casual words caused everyone to feel as though they were further plunged into frost. Based on these words, the Sect Master was not fighting against the Origin of Absolute Corruption at the very end, but against this strange existence. Perhaps neither of them expected that their struggle would lead to such a catastrophe.

"Yin Qingkun, is this the person you've put your faith in? She's not the Sect Master! This is just an abomination created from the powers of the Sect Master and the Origin of Absolute Corruption. You've had wool pulled over your eyes the whole time!" Yan Changsheng berated.

Heavenly Emperor Yin's expression remained indifferent as he shook his head. "The Sect Master is the greatest expert in history. She is invincible and will never fall. The Dark Sect Master is an extension of her will. The Sect Master has always hoped for the chaos to end, and when the Dark Sect Master's wish is fulfilled, it will end. Am I not right? Yan Changsheng, set aside your naive fantasies. Join me and support our new Sect Master. In the new world, the Sacred Void Resonance Sect will once again stand at the pinnacle and last for all of eternity!"

A zealous tone filled his words as he spoke more and more feverishly. Yan Changsheng and Su Ying's expressions both felt bitter. Yin Qingkun had always been the most ardent believer of the Sect Master. However, they never would have thought his fanaticism would reach these heights.

The Dark Sect Master was clearly not the same individual who he idolized, yet he stubbornly regarded her as a continuation of her will. Perhaps some of it was due to the Dark Sect Master's actions, but Yin Qingkun's self-hypnotism definitely played a large part.

The Dark Sect Master then gave a muted smile as she studied the Heavenly Emperor experts. Her voice was warm, but everyone felt as though they were sinking into an abyss filled with utter despair. "Now then... Do you all agree with me?"
