Thirty million peerless prodigies marched out of the Wind God Sea Pavilion in great numbers. Among the older generation of strong warriors, only Feng Xinyue was present; no others accompanied him.
When he left the Wind God Sea Pavilion, Long Chen noticed that the laws of heaven and earth had changed, and the spiritual energy was chaotic, making it unsuitable for cultivation.
After consulting Feng Xinyue, Long Chen learned that at this moment, the fortune of the Tianyuan World had already been drained by the Tianyuan Profound Realm, and the dragon veins of all major powers had been stripped away, causing spatial chaos.
At this moment, all spatial teleportation arrays in the Tianyuan World had failed. No matter how strong you were, you still had to walk forward.
"Rumble rumble...
Just as
everyone stepped out of the boundary of the Wind God Sea Pavilion, a thunderous explosion came from ahead. Then, countless monsters appeared, their eyes bloodshot, roaring as they charged toward them.
"The Heavenly Vein Profound Realm has opened, and the laws of heaven and earth have changed. These demons have been stimulated and have started to go mad." Upon seeing these monsters, Feng Xinyue waved her jade hand.
"Pfft!"
The leader of the
distant monsters, a human emperor-level powerhouse, had his neck severed from a distance, his massive head shooting into the sky.
With a wave of her jade hand, Feng Xinyue's massive head flew right in front of her. It was a monster with ram horns, a head full of fur, and a ferocious face.
In its huge pupils, blood-red runes appeared. Feng Xinyue glanced at them and murmured, "
Nine blood patterns."
"Master, what do the nine blood patterns mean?" Tang Wan'er asked.
Feng Xinyue said, "These monsters are not beings of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, so whenever there is any change there, their reactions are the most intense.
But in history, when heaven and earth changed, in their eyes, at most six blood patterns appeared."
"You mean they never showed nine blood patterns?" Long Chen asked.
Feng Xinyue shook her head and said, "It happened once in an era when history was less capable."
"An era where history can't keep up?" Long Chen was startled.
"That's right, that was during the Chaos Era. During the World-Destroying War, nine blood-red patterns appeared in the eyes of these monsters." Feng Xinyue said solemnly.
"You mean a new world-destroying war is about to begin?" Long Chen asked in shock.
Feng Xinyue pondered for a moment and said, "You could say that the nine blood patterns in their eyes are now separate. Once the nine blood patterns merge to form the World-Destroying Demon Pattern, then the World-Destroying War will truly begin."
"World-Destroying Demon Pattern?"
Everyone was shocked; this was a secret they had never heard before.
"Senior, I've seen monsters from the Chaos Era. Their eyes don't have such markings, do they?" Long Chen transmitted a message to Feng Xinyue.
Long Chen had entered the chaotic battlefield and killed countless monsters, but he had never witnessed such a scene.
However, regarding the Chaos Battlefield, Long Chen could not let anyone know; he could only send a message to Feng Xinyue.
Feng Xinyue spoke: "This pattern is a signal, and also the horn of war. Once war breaks out, the blood-red pattern will disappear."
Feng Xinyue didn't send a voice transmission to Long Chen, but explained it directly, and everyone heard it.
"So, does that mean a new world-destroying war is about to begin?" Someone looked utterly shocked.
"In the chaotic era's world-ending war, the human race was at its peak, with all races respected by all, shattered and nearly annihilated.
Now, we still haven't recovered our strength. If we encounter another world-destroying war... A powerful warrior's voice trembled, filled with fear.
Hearing their words, Long Chen was furious: "The trials in the Seven Treasures World have worn away your pride. Has it worn down your backbone as well?
Times make heroes—have you ever seen a hero born in a time of peace and prosperity?
Crisis, crisis, hidden opportunity—without danger, where would the opportunity come from? If you're scared, get back to Fengshen Sea Pavilion right now."
Long Chen's shout instantly made the disciples' faces flushed purple. They wanted to argue but dared not speak.
Long Chen sneered, "When the world-ending war arrives, if you can win, fight if you can; if you cannot, fight too.
Fear and retreat only make us miss countless opportunities. Our ancestors sacrificed their lives and shed their blood during the chaos war, fighting to the last drop—what was it all for?
Isn't it all to protect us? Knowing they must die, they still keep pressing forward. Do you think they're fools?
If they hadn't fought hard, would we still be who we are today? Our ancestors, despite being at an absolute disadvantage, still risked their lives to buy us a chance to catch our breath.
It is all so that one day, we can carry their dreams and wishes, and let humanity once again stand tall atop all races.
The war hasn't even started yet, and you're already scared and discouraged. There are still countless human heroic spirits watching us across the world."
This time, Long Chen was truly furious. These people had gone through the trial of the Seven Treasures Space but still hadn't developed a firm will. Wasn't that just a waste of time?
"Senior Brother Long Chen, we were wrong. Please calm down." The disciple saw Long Chen's gloomy face and was very frightening, so he quickly apologized.
Long Chen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself before saying, "I know, you are all sealed powerhouses. Your families have long since disappeared, and now you are all alone. You don't know whom to care for or who to protect.
But don't forget, during these years of sealing, how many resources have you consumed? Where did these resources come from?
It was the efforts and protection of countless generations that allowed you to sleep peacefully until now. Think about it—why did they devote their entire lives to protecting you?"
Long Chen knew this was their biggest problem. They thought they were sealers, their parents and loved ones long gone. Now they had become lonely and selfish, putting their own interests first, and even feeling no sense of belonging to the Wind God Sea Pavilion.
But Long Chen had to make them understand who brought them to where they are today.
Long Chen's voice was loud, carrying powerful will and soul power. Only in this way could they more directly understand his thoughts.
For a moment, the whole room fell silent. These ancient prodigies suddenly felt ashamed, thinking about how they had been sealed, carrying the dreams of their parents and loved ones, and only thinking of themselves. It was truly selfish and inhuman.
Long Chen's angry shout was like the evening drum and morning bell, provoking deep reflection and gradually awakening their numb emotions.
Looking at Long Chen's ashen face, Feng Xinyue's eyes were full of admiration. Long Chen's fearlessness and foresight made her feel gratified.
But in Tang Wan'er's eyes, there was tenderness. This was what a peerless hero looked like. To marry someone like him, what could she not be satisfied with?!
These sealed prodigies felt both ashamed and resentful. They hated themselves for being too selfish, ignorant, and foolish, utterly ashamed. Seeing the endless monsters charging before them, their fury was instantly ignited, and they roared as they charged out.
At that moment, their faces were even more ferocious than those of the monsters.
