Chapter 605: Chapter 361: New Heaven Unveiled, The Ultimate Powers Gather (1/2)
"Here we are."
The captain of the God-hunting squad spoke with a steady voice, revealing not a trace of emotion, clad in heavy armor,
On the armor, dark golden mystical patterns slowly flowed like living creatures.
This armor was personally forged by the Speaker, capable of withstanding a full-force strike from an ordinary Great Power.
At this moment, on the long street behind the God-hunting captain, a crowd gathered. It wasn’t just the squad members with their solid auras and bright armor,
but also numerous onlookers who came upon hearing the news, gathered in groups of threes and fives, with whispering voices rising and falling.
Only those with truly profound backgrounds on Tongtian Street would be genuinely apprehensive of the God-hunting squad’s presence,
while those with ordinary status were less afraid, after all, they hadn’t done as many shameful deeds.
It’s not that those of higher position are more inclined to wrongdoing,
but because their high status allows them to stir up storms with a mere gesture, and the evil committed in a moment of thought,
is often a hundred times more devastating than the petty crimes of those of lower position, with far-reaching implications.
"There they go, there they go! Isn’t that the mysterious courtyard of Tianlao?!"
A sudden exclamation erupted from the crowd, as the speaker craned his neck, eyes full of excitement at the spectacle— in this world, no matter immortal or mortal, no matter the realm of mystery one resides in, the curiosity for a spectacle is always the same.
"Tianlao, what could she have done wrong?"
An elderly neighbor with graying temples frowned, face full of disbelief, with a tone rich in regret:
"Tianlao is the best of people, deeply kind-hearted, the spirit meat buns she makes, using minced meat from the mystical bird mixed with hundred-year-old white bone lotus seeds, always delivering a basket to each household after they’re made, never caring about gains or losses..."
"I even received a basket of spirit meat buns at my house this morning!"
"Ah, who wouldn’t say so!"
Someone next to him sighed repeatedly, his voice full of helplessness,
"But what kind of entity is the God-hunting squad? They don’t visit before their business is done; since they’re blocking the doorstep... it seems Tianlao really committed a grave offense, otherwise how could she alarm this group of fearsome deities?"
Whispers and loud discussions wove together into a dense web, enveloping the long street.
At this very moment.
The God-hunting captain stepped forward and stopped at the weathered vermilion gate of the ancient courtyard,
His expression was as calm as water, neither happy nor sad, as he raised his right hand, bent his fingers into a knock, and heavily tapped the door ring.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three dull knocking sounds echoed like the morning bell and evening drum in the silent long street, drowning out all the voices of discussion,
accompanied by the booming voice of the God-hunting captain, resonant like a great bell, echoing all around:
"The God-hunting squad is on duty, please open the door, Tianlao."
Though there was a "please," the tone carried an irrefutable authority,
He was but a Venerate, yet crowned with the title of the God-hunting squad’s captain, not just ordinary Great Powers, even Great Divine Power Users held little fear of him.
However.
Inside the ancient courtyard, it was a dead silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, without the slightest response, as if there were no one inside.
"Hmm?"
The God-hunting captain’s eyebrows twitched imperceptibly. He raised his hand again, knocked three more times, with more force than before,
The door ring trembled, buzzing with sound, but within the ancient courtyard, it remained silent, only the echo of knocking slowly rippled across the long street outside the yard, then vanished without a trace.
The God-hunting captain expressionlessly stepped back, glanced sideways at the squad members behind him, his voice icy, and spoke word by word:
"Break the door."
"Yes!"
Nine Divine Spirits responded in unison, simultaneously raising their hands to wield their long swords— the Feathered Immortal Slaying Sword.
This was a treasure personally crafted by the Grand Speaker for the God-hunting squad,
Heard it was modeled after an incredible Supreme Treasure in the depths of the starry sky.
The God-hunting captain also raised his hand, a flash of light in his palm, revealing a Feathered Immortal Slaying Sword identical to those of the squad members.
Ten immortal swords simultaneously radiated dazzling light, strands of Flying Immortal Light Rain entwined around the sword bodies, in the void, a faint immortal melody could be heard, echoing between heaven and earth.
In an instant.
The ten swords resonated in unison, their peaks responding to each other, forming a massive sword ring suspended mid-air,
the ring composed by the ten swords hummed, and endless Flying Immortal Light, like the Milky Way pouring down, transformed into a waterfall of brocade, sweeping toward the courtyard’s doors!
"Boom!!!"
A deafening roar suddenly erupted, and a thin layer of light screen abruptly lit up on the courtyard wall, flowing with brilliance, forcefully blocking the Flying Immortal Light Waterfall.
"An array?"
The God-hunting captain’s eyebrows jumped fiercely, a trace of gravitas flashing through his eyes, pronouncing with a deep voice:
"Something has definitely happened in this yard!"
Having said this, he raised his hand to touch the black token hanging at his waist. The front of the token was carved with two bold and simple ancient characters— [God-Catching],
The font was sharp, seemingly exuding an aura of slaughter, while the back bore eight more ancient seal characters, each containing profound mysteries of the Great Dao—
[Break the array upon encountering, slay the god upon seeing].
This token, too, was bestowed by the Grand Speaker.
"Go!"
The elderly Venerate, renowned for his just and incorruptible sternness,
Suddenly issued a low shout,
As he flicked his finger,
The God-Catching Order at his waist emitted dazzling rays of light, like a blazing sun, radiating heavenly majesty, enveloping toward the ancient courtyard.
The seemingly indestructible light screen, under the light of the God-Catching Order, shattered inch by inch like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, dispersing into nothingness in an instant!
At the moment of the array’s breaking.
"Boom rumble!!!"
A deafening crash suddenly resounded, the ancient courtyard’s walls crumbled in response, the vermilion painted door slammed to the ground, debris flying, smoke and dust filling the air,
The once grand and ancient courtyard was obliterated in an instant,
From the adjacent high-rise buildings, countless figures leaned out, gazing down at the scene below, eyes full of shock.
And it was at this very moment.
"What... what is that?!"
An alarmed voice suddenly arose, not just one.
The God-hunting captain’s face changed dramatically, swiftly turning his head to look toward the ancient courtyard.
The dust dissipated extremely quickly, faster than imagined,
The collapsed walls, broken door, and the scattered rubble all melted into nothingness at a visible speed,
All drawn into the eerie "void" at the center of the courtyard.
That void was indescribable in words, its surface chaotic and misty, as if depicting the chaos before the universe’s creation,
While the inner layer was a state of utmost "Stillness," dead silence, emptiness, extinction, all the words in the world failed to describe that ultimate emptiness.
Gazing upon it, one experiences a strange illusion— as if time is infinitely stretched, as if time has completely stopped at this moment...
Clearly, within that void, time did not exist at all!
No past, no present, no future, everything, all things, returned to nothingness.
The pupils of the Captain of the Divine Hunting Squad suddenly contracted, his eyes filled with shock, just as he was about to command his team to be on guard, speaking of the eerie emptiness.
"Captain! There’s a sound!"
A team member exclaimed in surprise.
The Captain listened attentively,
In the dead silent void, a magnificent Dao sound slowly resonated.
First was a voice, "The universe is inverted."
Then a voice, "Chaos Seal."
Followed by a voice, "Pangu Banner."
Until the final voice, "Birth of all things."
The various Dao sounds gradually quietened.
This Venerate, who held the God-Catching Order, slain Gods, and captured Great Powers,
At this moment was holding a token, staring blankly at the void, his mind shaken intensely,
In that chaotic nothingness, something seemed to be forcibly opened by an unknown great force,
A gap slowly appeared, within it seemed to flash countless light and shadow, innumerable things, innumerable objects, were quietly being born within, evolving the creation and annihilation of the universe, the cycle of the great Dao.
And then—
Was light.
Innate Spiritual Light, stabbing the eyes, suddenly burst from the gap, more brilliant than the scorching sun, brighter than the stars!
Simultaneously, a succession of ’shell-breaking sounds’, chaotic and annoying, emitted from the chaos, consecutive, endless,
Accompanied by the last sound, like a thundering explosion of "shell-breaking sound."
"Boom!!!"
Above the Nine Heavens, terrifying thunder truly roared, the sound of thunder rolling.
Throughout the forty-nine provinces, spanning thousands of miles of territory, everywhere the sound of thunder rolled.
The World Plateau, deep space Star Sea, and even within Different Dimension, suddenly thunder arose!
At this moment.
Outside the Celestial Capital.
"What’s happening?"
Kong Shentong, who had long withdrawn from the Celestial Capital, looked around in surprise, a serious expression appeared on his face,
Next to him, Meng Qingtian squinted his eyes, then showed a shocked expression:
"Something’s wrong... the New Heaven is crying, it’s sobbing!"
"Huh?"
Kong Shentong was a bit bewildered:
"The New Heaven worshipped by your Celestial Principle Sect... can also cry?"
Meng Qingtian’s face turned exceedingly grave, murmuring to himself:
"The New Heaven we forged was made to replace the shattered will of the old world heavens...."
"Now, the New Heaven sobbing seems due to its existence losing its meaning."
Kong Shentong’s mind flashed with an ominous premonition:
"What do you mean?"
A rich bitterness appeared on Meng Qingtian’s face:
"It means."
"The will of heaven and earth in this Great Heaven and Earth has reemerged."
His gaze lost focus, sighing lightly, sighing again.
Yet it’s not only Meng Qingtian.
In the Celestial Dao Province, the Lifeless Mother, with eyes observing the vast river of innate spiritual beings, suddenly rose, listening to the sound of shell-breaking at her ears, her expression uncertain:
"This is... Innate Spiritual Beings?"
"And it’s not just one, ten consecutive sounds, at least ten Innate Spiritual Beings have descended... "
"But in this era, how can there be Innate Spiritual Beings??"
"No way."
She murmured to herself, hearing the last muffled sound of eggshells breaking, her color truly changed.
"It’s... Heavenly Dao?"
"Has the Heavenly Dao reemerged?"
The Lifeless Mother murmured in distraction.
Meanwhile.
In the Six Paths Prison, Xuanqing Daoist raised his head in alarm, at the center of the Celestial Capital, Guang Chengzi, just emerged from retreat and about to personally meet that ’Daoist Venerable’, his pupils contracted suddenly.
"Innate Spiritual Beings, Heavenly Dao reemergence?"
He was bewildered, a thought arose instantly, immediately tracing the source of the incident.
Right in the Celestial Capital.
Close by.
Divine Thought high above the heavens, Guang Cheng Venerate frowned, looking down, only seeing an intense, chaotic void floating within an ancient courtyard,
Within the chaos, a brand new world seemed to be evolving.
Unlike the lower worlds in the vast void among the myriad heavens, the world within this chaotic ancient courtyard, though small,
Regarding Position, it could rival the Great Heaven and Earth!
But herein lies the problem.
The Great Heaven and Earth is the Root Heaven and Earth, the source of the myriad heavens... how can there be something comparable?
But what was seen before his eyes was undeniably true!
"Divine Hunting Squad..." Guang Cheng Venerate’s gaze swept over, and he saw the Divine Hunting Squad, lightly raising an eyebrow, not immediately personally investigating, but quietly observing from afar.
After all, this moment was utterly inexplicable, perhaps...
Related to some Supreme being.
"Many Daoist friends have been startled awake." Guang Cheng Venerate murmured to himself, squinting his eyes,
He could vaguely sense, in the home planet, in the depths of the Star Sea, as if many mighty wills were awakening—
They are the True Spirits of the old world.
Some had returned long ago but were too heavily injured and remained dormant old world True Spirits.
Today, they have all been startled awake, and even...
Are coming towards the home planet, towards the Celestial Capital!
"Trouble."
Guang Chengzi rubbed his forehead, instinctively looking back at the Jade Void Palace.
Surely, only by inviting his master’s Jade Void Palace to show up can these Daoist friends be soothed.
As the thought arose.
Countless grand, vast figures, have already arrived outside the home planet, stationed within the Star Sea, their mighty presence overwhelming.
