Chapter 532: The Ten Great Golden Crows
Within the Eternal Pure Land, time flies by.
Lu Heng, who is in seclusion cultivating, finally completes the refinement of the fourteenth peach seed.
His cultivation has already surpassed that enigmatic and unpredictable thirteen ancestors. Moreover, it seems that Lu Heng has vaguely encountered the shackles and barriers of another realm.
However, he felt that he still had a considerable gap to bridge in order to achieve eternal enlightenment and transcendence.
This once again confirmed his previous speculation - the thirteen ancestors of the Seven Realms is definitely more than meets the eye!
However, Lu Heng is uncertain at present, regarding the true extent of power possessed by the thirteen ancestors, and whether his current self is capable of contending with them…
However, as for the present Lu Heng, he no longer has the time to refine the peach fruits.
When he, who was in a deep sleep, was awakened, outside the Eternal Pure Land, a chilling aura permeated the air, and figures of people were abundant.
The Celestial Emperor's Bell, in the process of being restored, has gathered cultivators from the dispersed Seven Realms once again outside the Eternal Pure Land, aiming to completely eradicate the Celestial Desolation Realm that once loomed over their hearts, following in the footsteps of their ancestors.
A vast number of cultivators from the Seven Realms gathered in the void outside the Eternal Pure Land, emanating an immense and formidable aura. Their sheer numbers and power were sufficient to fill all the cultivators from the Celestial Desolation Realm with despair.
Moreover, the cultivators from the Seven Realms within the Eternal Pure Land are the accumulation of profound heritage from the Seven Realms over many years.
Within the depths of the Eternal Pure Land, high above the vast expanse of land, the magnificent radiance of the Celestial Emperor's Bell shines brightly, its once fragmented cracks, left behind by a divine calamity, now completely restored.
However, the thirteen ancestors didn't relent.
They joined forces, acting simultaneously, infusing a vast amount of life essence into the Celestial Emperor's Bell.
The seven colossal cauldrons that floated in the void trembled incessantly, emitting a resplendent glow that illuminated the world, depicting ancient patterns of mountains, rivers, vegetation, insects, and fish. As a result, this realm was bathed in a radiant brilliance, resembling the brightness of daylight. Vaguely, one could even glimpse the embryonic form of a vast world amidst that dazzling divine light.
Within the miniature world, the Green State Cauldron and the Yuz State Cauldron nestled within the sleeves of Lu Heng faintly trembled, sensing the disturbance in the spiritual energy. However, under the suppression of Lu Heng, both of these diminutive cauldrons eventually quieted down.
Within the depths of the Pure Land, the thirteen ancestors stood amidst the radiant divine light, with a solemn countenance.
Surrounding them, there were dozens of formidable figures standing in formation.
In order to prevent the Celestial Emperor's Bell from attracting another divine calamity, the thirteen ancestors commanded these top cultivators to form a magic formation in order to conceal the celestial mechanism, ensuring that the aura of the Celestial Emperor's Bell would not leak out.
And as the thirteen ancestors vigorously refined it, the aura within the Celestial Emperor's Bell became increasingly terrifying. From a distance, the expanse of stars and the universe seemed distorted, as if stepping into another world that transcended the capacity of this realm to bear such a sacred artifact.
Vaguely, even the void itself seemed on the verge of being shattered.
If not for the support and efforts of the thirteen ancestors, the formidable aura emanating solely from this Celestial Emperor's Bell would be enough to collapse the entirety of the Eternal Pure Land!
At this moment, Lu Heng had already covertly infiltrated the vicinity of that continent.
He stood within the void, gazing into the distance at the colossal formation that comprised forty-nine top cultivators from the seven realms, as he sought the opportune moment to make his move.
This time, the preparations of the seven realms are thorough and the vigilance is high, making it no longer possible for him to launch a successful surprise attack with a mere whim. The magnificent Celestial Emperor's Bell, guarded level by level by the formation of forty-nine cultivators and the mighty enigmatic thirteen ancestors, if Lu Heng were to hastily brandish his sword, it is feared that he would be unable to inflict any further harm upon the Celestial Emperor's Bell.
However, as the aura of the Celestial Emperor's Bell grew increasingly terrifying, Lu Heng's painstakingly cultivated state of mind, nurtured over the years, couldn't help but become slightly anxious.
He had been hiding in this void for a period of thirty years, yet he had never found the suitable opportunity to make his move.
The forty-nine cultivators standing in formation, as well as the enigmatic ancestors within the formation, were fully focused and vigilant of everything around them, without the slightest hint of laxity.
It is evident that the thirteen ancestors has speculated on another possible occurrence of the divine calamity descending.
After all, Lu Heng's Heavenly Thunder Sword is no secret throughout the entire World of Eight Desolations.
The thirteen ancestors's vigilance towards his surroundings is not only to guard against the naturally occurring divine calamities, but also to protect against himself, Lu Heng, as a greater possibility!
In the void, Lu Heng furrowed his brows. As time passed, the resplendent glow of the Celestial Emperor's Bell had almost reached its perfect state. If he didn't make a move now, there would be no more opportunity!
Realizing this, Lu Heng gritted his teeth slightly, and with a flicker of thought, he was about to draw forth the Heavenly Thunder Sword that had long been concealed within.
However, at this moment, a massive disturbance suddenly erupted outside the Eternal Pure Land.
Boom!
The horrifying roar, accompanied by unimaginable waves of scorching heat, instantly swept across the entire Eternal Pure Land!
Ten majestic figures gleaming with divine light, resembling ancient legendary apocalyptic creatures, shrieked as they tore through the void, directly colliding with the temporal barrier of the Eternal Pure Land.
And behind those ten terrifying colossal figures, there was a gargantuan giant laughing manically and brandishing a massive staff in his hand, jeeringly saying, "Little beings of the Seven Realms! I, Kuafu, have come to slay you all!"
The giant laughed wildly, the staff in his hand-or rather, what appeared to be an enormous heavenly tree beyond imagination!
Wielding this staff, the giant swept across the Eternal Pure Land. Wherever he went, the air boiled with heat, causing countless cultivators from the Seven Realms to panic and retreat. If they were even slightly slow in their withdrawal, they would be instantly engulfed by the scorching waves, their souls scattered to the wind!
Inside the Eternal Pure Land, the brows of the thirteen ancestors furrowed slightly, yet they didn't cease their ritual of refining the Celestial Emperor's Bell.
In the radiant starry sky of the Pure Land, one after another, streaks of escape light soared out as the secluded cultivators from the Seven Realms roared in anger.
"Remnants of the Heavenly Court from the Primordial Era! Cease your rampant behavior!"
Several figures with formidable auras flew directly out of the Eternal Pure Land.
However, within the ten enormous fireballs approaching head-on, there loomed the faint figures of ten colossal birds, carrying a tremendous wave of heat. Even these top-tier cultivators, who had been diligently cultivating within the Eternal Pure Land for years, couldn't help but change their expressions and hastily dodge.
"The Ten Great Golden Crows!"
The cultivators from the Seven Realms recognized the identity of these ten colossal birds and gritted their teeth in resentment.
When the Heavenly Court was destroyed in the Primordial Era, these terrifying and unpredictable Ten Great Golden Crows caused devastating casualties among the cultivators from the Seven Realms. Although they were not considered top-tier in terms of cultivation strength, many cultivators within the World of Eight Desolations were capable of subduing them.
However, the Ten Great Golden Crows possessed unique divine abilities that allowed them to easily sweep through low-level cultivators. Wherever their fierce flames reached, they could incinerate the spiritual powers of any cultivator whose strength was inferior to theirs, rendering the attacks of low-level cultivators completely ineffective against this group of Golden Crows. Meanwhile, these Golden Crows could freely inflict harm upon those low-level cultivators without any restraint!
Thus, it was not the top-tier beings like Emperor Fu Xi and the Supreme Goddess Nüwa who caused the most devastating casualties to the Seven Realms, but rather these peculiar and ferocious Ten Great Golden Crows!
The infamy of these ten fierce birds, even after countless years have passed, remains etched in the memories of the cultivators from the Seven Realms, and no one can ever forget it.
Because it was these ten fierce birds that ran amok back then, they nearly exterminated a generation of young cultivators in the Seven Realms! Many sects even lost their legacies!
