Beast of Calamity

In the vast Universe Ocean, chaotic currents surged intensely, and a nine-story tower appeared out of thin air within them. Inside the tower, “Ahead lies that colossal humanoid entity, we’ll be there soon!” Hundreds of Hong Alliance Universe Masters, some plant lifeforms with countless blooming branches and leaves, others rock lifeforms wreathed in flames, these Universe Masters from various powerful races were all part of the Hong Alliance at this moment. They were conversing amongst themselves. At the very front of the tower, Luo Feng and Chaos City Lord stood side by side, and the other Hong Alliance Universe Masters dared not disturb them. “Jinzhi World is a great opportunity for humanity’s rise,” Chaos City Lord remarked, gazing out at the Universe Ocean. “When Giant Axe fell, we thought humanity’s fate would be arduous, but who would have thought that after extreme adversity comes prosperity… Once this endeavor succeeds, no one will be able to obstruct humanity’s path to ascendancy.” Luo Feng also nodded. Whoosh! The Star Tower quickly flew between the lips of that colossal entity… Outside Jinzhi World’s miniature universe, palace-like supreme treasures floated, belonging to the various major forces of the Universe Ocean. A nine-story tower also flew over. “It’s the Star Tower.” “Silver River Lord’s Star Tower, humanity has arrived too.” “Silver River Lord!” All forces noticed this. Standing inside the tower, Luo Feng’s gaze swept outside, and he murmured, “There are slightly more than last time. As expected, more are heading to Jinzhi World in this Third Era. Eh?” Luo Feng looked into the distance in surprise. “That’s—” Chaos City Lord also looked. “The Ancestral God Sect?” Luo Feng looked in surprise at the void outside, where, closer to Jinzhi World’s miniature universe, three figures stood. They were the three Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Sect, radiating boundless pressure, so powerful it even surpassed that of any True God. “Why are these three Ancestral Gods here?” Luo Feng frowned. Chaos City Lord beside him said solemnly, “Last time, when we first entered Jinzhi World, these three Ancestral Gods appeared and informed the major forces how to enter. Now they’ve returned, and judging by the pressure they’re exuding… it’s clear they are favored by the Original Universe’s Primal Will. They must be here on the Primal Will’s command!” Luo Feng slowly nodded, staring at the three Ancestral Gods in the distance. … As more teams arrived, they also discovered the three Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Sect. “Three Ancestral Gods?” “Why are they here?” “Judging by the pressure they’re radiating, they must represent the Original Universe’s Primal Will. But what… do they intend to do!” All major forces harbored doubts. Although they didn’t fear the Primal Will—after all, if one didn’t provoke it, it was unheard of for the Primal Will to actively kill anyone—no one dared to disregard any message from the Primal Will. After all, even beings as noble as Universe Supremes always felt the Universe Ocean was mysterious and unfathomable. … Time flowed, and naturally, all major forces of this Third Era arrived. Everyone made sure to arrive a bit early, as the membrane of Jinzhi World’s miniature universe didn’t stay white for long, so early arrival was necessary. “Everyone!” The three Ancestral Gods standing in the void, the elderly Ancestral God slowly spoke, his voice resounding through every part of the surrounding void, “Now, all three Reincarnation Eras and two Holy Lands of the entire Universe Ocean have likely arrived.” Immediately, figures flew out from the palace-like supreme treasures in the distance—strong individuals of various appearances and life forms, thousands of Universe Masters and some Universe Supremes, gathered in groups, scattered everywhere, all gazing at the three Ancestral Gods from afar. “What exactly do these three Ancestral Gods want?” Luo Feng and Chaos City Lord stood side by side, with over a hundred Hong Alliance Universe Masters behind them. All major forces harbored doubts. The three Ancestral Gods, however, scanned the distant surroundings, and simultaneously, the elderly Ancestral God continued, “We are here by the command of the Primal Will, to convey a matter of extreme importance… Do you all know? Why did this colossal entity, containing the miniature universe ‘Jinzhi World’ within its body, suddenly appear in the Universe Ocean?” A profound silence fell. Everyone listened intently. “This, it was the Original Universe’s Primal Will itself that guided this colossal entity here, drawing it from the distant depths of the Universe Ocean,” the elderly Ancestral God stated. “What?” “Guided it here?” A clamor immediately erupted. Even Luo Feng and Chaos City Lord wore expressions of shock. This colossal entity, flying from the remote depths of the Universe Ocean, was actually guided by the Original Universe’s Primal Will? Was this true or false? Or were they simply being deceived? Those present were all top-tier existences in the entire Universe Ocean; they wouldn’t easily believe such claims. “Although you all discovered this colossal entity back then, you had no idea how to enter. Had it not been for the Original Universe’s Primal Will’s guidance, who knows how long it would have taken, or how many powerful beings would have perished within this colossal entity before the ultimate destination was found,” the elderly Ancestral God said. All parties nodded. Luo Feng also acknowledged this. After all, the interior of that colossal entity was vast. Without guidance, they would surely have to explore many places. Even if Jinzhi World was discovered, after hundreds or thousands of failed attempts, each resulting in death, they would likely temporarily cease trying. No one would have known that the miniature universe’s membrane had to be white to enter. Without guidance, the major forces would certainly have suffered losses and wasted a great deal of time. “The Primal Will follows the rules of operation. When calamity descends, it naturally seeks a glimmer of hope for all life,” the elderly Ancestral God stated. “And this Jinzhi World is that hope for all living beings among the major forces of our Universe Ocean.” “Calamity descending?” “What calamity?” “Calamity?” This single word immediately struck a nerve with all forces. All the powerful beings from the First Reincarnation Era, Second Reincarnation Era, and Original Universe Era stared at the three Ancestral Gods. The youthful Ancestral God among the three spoke with a clear voice: “The Original Universe nurtures all things, nurturing all living beings. In this vast world, everything has two sides, positive and negative. There is the Original Universe that nurtures all things… and there is also an existence that destroys all things.” “This existence is named… Beast! Of Calamity!” The youthful Ancestral God’s gaze swept across the surroundings. All powerful beings fell silent. “Beast of Calamity?” “The Original Universe that nurtures all things, nurtures all living beings? A Beast of Calamity that destroys everything?” All powerful beings muttered to themselves, filled with doubt. Even Luo Feng felt puzzled: “Beast of Calamity? Is this real or fake? Why have I never heard of its existence…” The three Ancestral Gods seemed to know that the powerful beings from all sides were stunned by this news, so they paused, allowing the numerous powerful beings to first absorb this information. … Among the crowds of powerful beings from the major forces in the Universe Ocean, in a corner, within the void, there was a figure—a majestic old man, sitting on a green mountain peak. It was Zuoshanke. Zuoshanke had never entered Jinzhi World and seemed utterly unconcerned, yet with the arrival of these three Ancestral Gods, he too had come. “Beast of Calamity?” A strange light flickered in Zuoshanke’s eyes, and he vaguely reminisced, “The Beast of Calamity, is it about to emerge? If it does, it truly can be called a great calamity.” “Thinking about it now, it’s truly laughable,” Zuoshanke sighed softly. “Beast of Calamity…” “What a pity…” Zuoshanke shook his head. … The three Ancestral Gods scanned their surroundings, and then the two-faced Ancestral God spoke: “The Beast of Calamity is arguably the most terrifying creature born in the entire Universe Ocean, unequivocally the most terrifying! It is the antithesis of the Original Universe. Only after immensely long eras does a Beast of Calamity gestate and emerge. When a Beast of Calamity appears… it signifies a great calamity…” “Why is it that throughout endless eras, the entire Universe Ocean only has two Holy Land Universes?” The two-faced Ancestral God looked at the major forces. Immediately, all powerful beings harbored suspicions in their hearts. Luo Feng’s heart also stirred. Indeed, throughout endless eras, there should have been some peerless geniuses born. Only two Holy Land Universes seemed too few. Could it be… “Your guesses are correct. Previous Holy Land Universes were all destroyed by the Beast of Calamity,” the two-faced Ancestral God nodded gravely. “When it truly fully emerges, it will destroy all universes, whether Holy Land Universes, miniature universes, or even… the Original Universe!” “Ah!” “What, all miniature universes? Even the Original Universe?” All sides were shocked. “The universe itself has no resistance, it can only passively endure attacks,” the two-faced Ancestral God continued. “When all living beings are extinguished, naturally all universes will also be extinguished. However, the Original Universe will only be temporarily destroyed… transforming into its primal essence, and in the future, it will naturally evolve back into the Original Universe.” … As the three Ancestral Gods spoke to the major forces. Purple Moon Holy Land Universe. “Beast of Calamity? The three Ancestral Gods say a Beast of Calamity is about to emerge?” Purple Moon Ancestor suddenly rose from his throne after hearing this. “How can this be, how can this be…” “Ancestor!” The dozens of Universe Masters kneeling below were filled with trepidation. “Everyone, leave,” Purple Moon Ancestor commanded. Each one hastily departed in fear. Purple Moon Ancestor could not hide his anxiety: “How can this be? A Beast of Calamity is only born after tens of thousands or even longer Reincarnation Eras. How long have I only been a Void True God? How, how can I be so unlucky… to encounter the emergence of a Beast of Calamity? I, I must seize the time, I must quickly cultivate to become an Eternal True God. Once I become an Eternal True God, I will be able to resist the Beast of Calamity, and at least my miniature universe won’t be destroyed.” … Purple Moon Ancestor and East Emperor Ancestor were both in a panic. … Meanwhile, in the void outside Jinzhi World, the three Ancestral Gods continued: “Currently, the Beast of Calamity is extremely weak. Killing it while it’s weak is the best opportunity! Once it grows, all life in this era will be extinguished, with none surviving. Even the Original Universe will have to be temporarily destroyed and revert to its primal essence.” “And Jinzhi World can allow you to increase your strength and acquire more powerful treasures. With these, you can go and destroy the Beast of Calamity.” “This must be done in this Reincarnation Era, no delays! Have you seen the Universe Boat? Why was the Universe Boat created? It was originally meant to deal with the Beast of Calamity!” The Ancestral God’s voice echoed, reverberating in the minds of the thousands of powerful beings from the major forces present.
