Chapter 2531 - A Dark, Chaotic World, Strange Movements on All Sides

The day the Boundless Battlefield collapsed, the skies over the God Domain suddenly split, the cracks spreading like the strands of a spiderweb.

This was a sign of the imminent collapse of the Laws, as if the barrier surrounding this world would soon shatter.

All manner of terrifying natural disasters occurred throughout the God Domain: floods, wildfires, and lightning pouring down from the heavens like floodwaters bursting through a dam.

Seemingly endless disasters befell the God Domain, throwing everything beneath the heavens into upheaval!

The strangest part was the layer of tribulation clouds that appeared beneath the shattered dome of heaven.

As enormous as the God Domain was, everything was shrouded in seemingly perpetual darkness!

......

How could any egg remain intact when its nest was overturned?

When the entire God Domain was plunged into chaos and upheaval, none of its trillions of inhabitants could remain bystanders!

“The Laws of the God Domain have collapsed! They’re rapidly withering and dissipating!”

Some of the older-generation experts’ hearts quivered with fright. They were overcome with anxiety.

The Grand Dao was like the heavens, yet now, the heavens had changed!

The darkness flowed in like the tide, and upheaval swept across the world like a windstorm. In just one short day, it had spread across the entire God Domain.

This was a true natural disaster, like the descent of the apocalypse. It would soon drag the whole world into endless turmoil and destruction!

“This... is the Dark Days of Legend?” murmured Wan Zitian.

Sunset Perch Island was similarly shrouded in darkness. Tribulation clouds obscured the light of the heavens, but they could still tell that the cracks in the dome of heaven were steadily increasing. The Laws were collapsing and withering.

The presence of the Grand Dao throughout heaven and earth was suddenly mottled and explosive. Spacetime windstorms swept throughout the seas, creating tidal waves.

The old-timers on Sunset Perch Island had seen their share of wind and waves over the years, but even they felt stifled. Chills coursed through their hearts.

“There’s no telling how many innocents are going to die,” sighed Zang Wushu.

This was a natural disaster, not an act of man. When it swept across the world, countless living beings would be reduced to dried-up bones.

But... there was nothing anyone could do to change that.

That was the saddest part of all of this.

“Consider the bigger picture. When someone manages to bring order to the world, all of this bloodshed and upheaval will end!” Wen Qingfeng said gently. “Cultivators like us just need to focus on living through it. We need to forge boldly ahead and survive to the very end!”

“It’s only just begun. No need to overthink things,” said Su Yi. He took a sip of wine.

According to the heart devil’s predictions, the Dark Days of Legend would take place in three stages.

The first stage would be a time of turmoil and upheaval.

In the second stage, the old would give way to the new. A new balance of power would take shape.

And the third stage would bring new order to the world!

Now, the curtains had only just opened on the Dark Days of Legend. They were right at the beginning of the first stage, and the changes had only just begun.

Making any kind of conclusions now would be premature.

But everyone could foresee that, as time passed, bloody, brutal battles would unfold across the God Domain, as its pre-existing factions would soon engage in fierce combat with those factions from other spacetimes.

“Come on, let’s have a drink.” Su Yi soon stopped paying attention, as if none of this had anything to do with him.

It wasn’t that Su Yi was heartless, but that under the current circumstances, doing nothing was the safest course of action.

......

“It’s finally begun!”

In a hidden realm, the Dipankara Buddha slowly rose from beneath the bodhi tree, his eyes shining with imposing Buddhist flames. “I no longer need to endure, and I no longer need to hold back!”

Boom!

The bodhi tree swayed, flowing with countless misty green lights and rumbling like thunder.

As the light bathed the Dipankara Buddha, he slowly raised a bronze lamp into the air.

The wick had no flame.

Yet now, the green radiance of the bodhi tree silently lit the lamp, which erupted with endless radiance.

“With my lamp in hand, I can naturally dispel the world’s darkness!” the Dipankara Buddha said slowly.

“When will we usher in the Buddha of the Present?”

The Buddha of the Future silently appeared not far away.

“There’s no rush. The Dark Days of Legend have only just begun, and its variables have yet to come into play. Let’s wait and see a while longer,” the Dipankara Buddha said calmly. “We’ll re-enter the world when its elites go into battle!

“When the time comes, I’ll show the God Domain the true foundations of our Spirit Mountain!”

He spoke with endless self-confidence.

“Excellent.” The Dipankara Buddha clasped his palms and praised the Buddha.

......

Di E stood atop a mountain and murmured, “It’s finally here!”

From a distance, it looked as if the Laws were pouring from the firmament like an avalanche, igniting with radiant Dao Fire. They were like comets streaking through the sky. Wherever they passed, they triggered terrifying natural disasters.

Di E could clearly sense that, as the Laws collapsed, the mysteries of the heavens were thrown into chaos. However...

He no longer felt that heart-palpitating intimidation!

In other words, now that the Laws had collapsed, they presented a significantly reduced threat to Eternals!

Di E could already foresee that when the Laws of the God Domain broke completely, the Limitless Dao Lords of the Path of Eternity would have an opportunity to enter the God Domain!

“Turbulent times are an opportunity! Unprecedented changes bring unprecedented good fortune!” Di E took a deep breath, his gaze intense. “It’s only in times like these that people like me can point our swords at the heavens!”

“Dao Venerate Lu Shi sent word that you shouldn’t act recklessly until the situation is clear.” A little girl appeared out of nowhere. “Wait a while longer. Let’s see how many people step forth in these turbulent times to stir up the wind and waves.”

Di E fell briefly silent. “Did Dao Venerate Lu Shi say when to proceed to Red Pine Mountain?”

“During this stage, the hidden dangers of the Central Divine Continent will all erupt at once. Anyone who goes there will die,” said the little girl.

Di E’s pupils constricted. “In that case... when should we go?”

The little girl pointed at the dome of heaven. “When the natural order of the God Domain vanishes completely. Until then, you should try and seize as manny of the scattered Fragments of Heaven’s Will as possible!”

Di E nodded.

The God Domain’s Laws had collapsed, but that didn’t mean they’d vanished into thin air. Rather, they’d shattered into countless pieces now strewn across the world.

The Laws of the God Domain were manifestations of Heaven’s Will to begin with. They were born of the God Domain’s most ancient chaos source, the incarnation of the myriad Daos of the heavens!

Throughout the ages, the Will of the Heavens had maintained the natural order of the God Domain.

Now that the Dark Days of Legend had begun, the Will of the Heavens had collapsed, shattering into countless fragments strewn across the God Domain.

That essentially meant that the source energies of the myriad Daos of the heavens now lay strewn about creation.

This was good fortune! The type of fortune that those hoping to achieve Eternity could only dream of!

In these days of strife, everyone was fighting over “the will of the heavens!”

......

“The Dark Days of Legend have arrived in a flash. There’s sure to be a place for me on the Path of Eternity!”

The Angler’s eyes flashed. He was full of ambition.

...

The Ruins of Supreme Emergence.

Celestial Venerate Zhou Ye had been trapped in Sundial City all this time. He sighed.

Countless years have passed, and now, the Dark Days of Legend have arrived... just like that?

𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

He wasn’t particularly happy about it. Still, a long time passed before he managed to calm himself down.

He knew that these dark days were called “legendary” because legendary figures were sure to arise during these turbulent times!

It was just that no one could say with certainty how many of these legends there’d be, or what kind of abilities they’d have.

All of this would only intensify the world’s upheaval, plunging the entire God Domain into a storm of bloodshed!

When the whole world fought, even legends could fall!

“Master, when should we leave for the outside world?” asked Qing Niu. He’d long since been champing at the bit.

“Let’s wait a while longer,” said Celestial Venerate Zhou Ye after a lengthy silence. “These turbulent times have only just begun. What’s the rush?”

Hong Li, his younger disciple, agreed completely. “The situation is not yet clear, and there are too many variables. Recklessly venturing out will surely lead to disaster.”

......

The spacetime forbidden zone hidden in the Extreme Lightning Demon Cave.

“The experts of our Epoch of the Five Sovereigns can finally break the barrier between worlds to enter the present day!”

Taishu Gong, the Celestial Polarity Great Sovereign, slowly clenched his fists.

......

Similar scenes unfolded throughout the spacetime forbidden zones scattered across the God Domain.

Numerous experts of other spacetimes had been lying in wait in their spacetime forbidden zones. All of them sensed the God Domain’s transformation and realized the Dark Days of Legend had arrived!

Some were ready and raring to go.

Others planned to stand back and watch.

Others still prepared to venture into the world.

The dark currents coursing through the God Domain were finally rising to the surface.

......

The Ruins of Supreme Simplicity.

“Mistress, the Dark Days of Legend have begun!” Qing Chi said excitedly.

Within that ancient Daoist temple, Sovereign Venerate Ling Ran just said, “Mm.”

She put away her needle and thread, then looked outside. “Get ready. We’ll leave this place soon.”

Qing Chi was stunned. He’d long since anticipated that his mistress would leave the temple when the Dark Days of Legend began, but he hadn’t realized she’d do it so quickly.

Sovereign Venerate Ling Ran didn’t explain.

She raised the bloody robes she’d repaired countless times over the years, then examined them closely.

She’d tried to prove her Dao and enter Eternity three times. All three times, she’d been wearing these very clothes.

The bloodstains and tatters had all been left there during her Eternal Tribulations.

Outsiders might have taken the robes for ordinary, worn-out clothing, but in Sovereign Venerate Ling Ran’s eyes, these clothes were emblazoned with the experiences, memories, and emotions of her three attempts to achieve Eternity.

Throughout the years, she’d made this place her cage, never venturing outside her temple. It might have seemed as if she were just mending a set of clothes, but in truth, she was mending her Dao Heart.

Now, the clothing had been fully repaired, and her Dao Heart had been tempered to perfection. There was no longer any need to remain here.

She put away the bloodied clothes, got up, and exited the hall.

The Fire Jujube Tree in the courtyard swayed.

The courtyard might have seemed ordinary, but it suddenly emanated an indescribable charm of the Grand Dao.

Qing Chi was waiting outside, and when he saw this, his heart shook. He instinctively looked up.

When he saw the misty, graceful figure emerge from the hall and enter the courtyard, he was unwittingly rooted to the spot.

He was completely dazed.
