Chapter 1189: Heavenly Tribulation
The king of chaos asked, "Li Feng, Sun Xiaowu, have you decided on your respective wishes?"
Sun Xiaowu waved a hand. "My captain has already fulfilled the wish I wanted. Let's wait until the fourth realm when we meet again."
"Very well."
The king of chaos turned toward the guests. "Will you all pool your strength to help me with this feat?"
"Absolutely, leader!"
Voices rang out from all corners of the hall, loud and quiet, low and high, but one and all filled with excitement and respect.
Zhang Lie and the members of Team Zenith hurriedly evacuated from the halls of chaos. Upon witnessing the king of chaos' true form, Zhang Lie felt as though he were about to be petrified.
It was a deep abyss filled with black worlds and suns.
The king of chaos' main body was so immense that he had to keep the major part of himself locked away within spaces of different dimensions—and not just in one dimension of space, but rather simultaneously in all dimensions.
The king of chaos' main body might well be the source of primordial chaos.
Huge quantities of chaotic matter seeped out from dimensional cracks, enveloping the halls of chaos. Countless feelers hung down from the sky, as if portending disaster.
The entire world of primordial chaos seemed to be splitting apart as a frightening energy gushed out from deep underground, destroying the world just by proximity alone.
Li Feng cried out, "What's about to happen?"
"This bastard!" Zhang Lie tossed the proof of kingship for the world of primordial chaos to the ground.
The world of primordial chaos was emitting huge quantities of energy, so Sun Xiaowu quickly picked up the proof of kingship before it could be flung out of reach.
"What's the matter, Captain? This is the proof of kingship of the world of primordial chaos, the largest superior world!"
Zhang Lie scoffed. "It might be the proof of kingship now, but after today, it'll be nothing more than a ball of chaotic energy. I was hoodwinked by this damned bastard!"
The members of Team Zenith hadn't come to the same realization yet. "What do you mean, Captain?"
Zhang Lie pointed at the cracking world below them. "Do you think the world of primordial chaos will last the day?"
The cracks on the ground were propagating as huge waves of energy erupted from deep within.
Zhang Lie continued, "The king of chaos has been storing huge quantities of energy deep within the world of primordial chaos for millions, tens of millions of years. All that accumulated energy is intended for use today.
Li Feng understood immediately. "The king of chaos is trying to use that explosive energy as a propellant to send the halls of chaos into space?
Fang Yi added, "To take advantage of the energy hidden in the world to break through the barrier separating this realm from the next, then ascending to the fourth realm..."
Zhang Lie nodded. "And once that energy explodes, the world of primordial chaos will be no more."
Sun Mengmeng continued, "The king of chaos is planning to sacrifice the entire world in order to ascend.
Li Feng asked, "What should we do, then?"
Zhang Lie shrugged. "What else? We can't do anything but watch."
The king of chaos had been preparing for ascension for countless years, and he would surelty notice any saboteurs. Furthermore, Zhang Lie had no chance at winning against the king of chaos' main body.
Even more importantly, Zhang Lie continued,
"We'll easily be able to unify the three thousand worlds even without the world of primordial chaos' proof of kingship."
The greatest obstacle in their way was the existence of the king of chaos.
Now that the king of chaos was about to ascend, he would no longer be an obstacle, regardless of whether Team Zenith controlled the world of primordial chaos.
All the underground energy within the world of primordial chaos exploded. It swallowed up the halls of chaos, shielded by a barrier of chaotic energy, and propelled it toward the sky and the fourth realm.
The unbelievable momentum caused the halls of chaos to destroy everything in their way.
The entire third realm was quaking as space itself tore apart. A huge storm began to form, and all the worlds could witness a huge pillar of light—though not from where it came.
The pillar of light consisted of the energy of a superior world, along with millennia worth of accumulated energy from the king of chaos.
What the pillar was burning wasn't just a single superior world, but instead the accumulated wealth of the king of chaos.
The higher the dimension, the closer was the next higher realm.
The pillar of energy smashed into the barrier of the third realm. The cracks in that barrier began to propagate before a hole opened up, allowing access toward the fourth realm.
The king of chaos guided the halls of chaos into that hole. Zhang Lie raised his head and murmured toward the skies. "It's coming!"
The fragmented will of the third realm appeared right then and there, triggering natural law and causing countless strikes of lightning to flash through the air.
A golden snake reared its head and swam out hundreds of miles through the void, illuminating the three thousand worlds with an unusually bright gleam.
Except for the sound of lightning, the entirety of the third realm was silent. The strongest entities of the realm were all glancing at the unusual phenomenon as they witnessed a historical moment.
A void storm formed, seemingly boundless in extent. Lightning gathered densely amidst the clouds.
"It's coming!"
An electric arc appeared that spread all around itself. The ink-black void was torn apart as golden streaks of light appeared.
The golden arcs fell toward the accelerating 'rocket'. The electricity was emblematic of a heavenly tribulation; it was controlled by none other than the will of the third realm.
The energy arced through the skies in beams of red light, in electric strikes that forked, as the king of chaos himself shielded the halls of chaos from the impact. As wind and storm grew fiercer, the chaotic energy that served as his shield began to fuzz and vibrate.
Zhang Lie stood dazed. He thought he had seen a small biological lifeform, but just for a flash. It was a blood-red horse, or perhaps a dog, whose exact shape couldn't be determined considering it had only been visible for a flash at best.
Even so, the implications were shocking. Could a group of biological entities be hiding within the lightning?
He had never heard of or seen the like. Just what was going on?
The air was heavy, the pressure intense, as though a thousand mountains were pressing down on them all and preventing them from being able to breathe.
This was a form of mental pressure.
Just then, the lightning forked into a thousand branches, smashing down toward the halls of chaos like sledgehammers.
To the king of chaos, passing through this layer of lightning wasn't a difficult feat, but he had to preserve the halls of chaos while doing so as well.
The lightning struck like a knife or blade, snowy-white in its brightness. It fell in an endless shower, incandescent with killing intent. Then, it formed a cage that trapped the king of chaos within, rattling in a metallic fashion.
Even the fragmented will of the world seemed to be doing its best to stop the king of chaos from ascending while sneaking a group of people with him.
Within the cage, a large fraction of the lightning transformed into mythical beasts.
