Chapter 2139: End of a Civilization

This sudden change startled all of the beings of the Tai Chu Continent.

They could all hear the wailing of the heavens as a feeling of boundless sorrow suddenly welled up in their hearts.

The pitch-blade sword projection had risen from the territory of the Purple Star Civilization and soared into the sky, eventually fusing into the infinite darkness.

The backlash from the Heavenly Power of Darkness is about to arrive the Purple Star Emperor said with an eager expression on his face.

Darkness was permeating through the sky, engulfing everything in its path.

The Purple Star Civilization had pierced the Heavenly Dao with a sword, yet their presence in the peculiar nine-colored energy screen was rapidly decreasing. It was as if they were going to vanish from heaven and earth. In fact, they were like a bandit who had immediately run away after stabbing the Heavenly Dao.

Just as the billions of humans thought that they were about to accomplish a mighty and miraculous feat, the energy screen before them suddenly started to tremble. At the same time, countless cracks proliferated through the energy screen.

Hmm? Whats going on? The Purple Star Emperors expression changed slightly.

Crap! The protective barrier between the two realms has suffered ferocious attacks! a researcher exclaimed. His expression had changed drastically.

Perhaps were being attacked by some God of Creation Stage divine being? the Purple Star Emperor remarked anxiously.

Tens of thousands of researchers were rapidly compiling together data and analyzing the situation. In the end, their faces all became as white as a sheet. Its not a God of Creation Stage divine being. Rather were being attacked by the Heavenly Dao itself!

Heavenly Dao? The Purple Star Emperor shuddered upon hearing this. A hint of panic and disbelief finally appeared on his calm face, and he said, How is this possible Right now, the Heavenly Dao should be suffering backlash from the Heavenly Dao of Darkness. The priority of the Heavenly Dao of Darkness should be to engulf the remaining Heavenly Dao that is extremely similar to itself

Our assumption was based on the expected reaction of the Heavenly Dao a top-notch Heavenly Dao expert said. The color had already drained from his face, and his voice was trembling as he gazed at the viscous and liquid-like darkness that was dripping onto the protection barrier between the two realms. If Im saying what if the Heavenly Dao has birthed an awareness thats similar to life?

Boom!

The eyes of the Purple Star Emperor widened in shock as his mind instantly went blank.

Thats correct Based on the instincts of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao of Darkness should first and foremost engulf the remaining Heavenly Dao.

However, if the Heavenly Dao has developed awarenessor if the Heavenly Dao of Darkness has developed awarenessthen will it still engulf the remaining Heavenly Dao and damage its own existence?

No! Itll first turn its wrath onto those who provoked it!

Preposterous, simply preposterous!

How can the Heavenly Dao develop awareness?!

Isnt this a characteristic that should be unique to humans?!

The Purple Star Emperor wore a crazed expression as he gazed at the darkness that was descending from the sky. Shockingly, this darkness had transformed into an unimaginably large hand, so large that it was almost impossible to fathom. It blotted out heaven and earth, casting a shadow over tens of millions of kilometers in length. It was as if an entire world were descending upon them. The five fingers of darkness closed together to form a claw as it grabbed the protective barrier between the two realms as if it were grabbing an egg.

Despair rose into the minds of the humans as they stared at that colossal hand of darkness. It was as if their minds were being engulfed by that consummately profound darkness.

Persist, everyone, persist!

Victory definitely belongs to the Purple Star Civilization!

Even if the Heavenly Dao of Darkness targets us first, we can still obliterate both this darkness and the remaining Heavenly Dao at once! The Purple Star Emperors voice boomed through the entire territory of the Purple Star Civilization.

However, right at this moment, the colossal hand of darkness suddenly tightened its grip.

Crack

Boom!

Under the formidable power of the colossal hand of darkness, the protective barrier between the two realms shattered into pieces.

Countless humans became completely exposed to the devastating power of the profound darkness.

It was also at this moment that some humans finally began to experience terror.

In fact, some of them had already gone weak at the knees and collapsed to the ground.

The constant of karma is rising rapidly!

The backlash of the Heavenly Dao has already enveloped our entire territory!

The power index is greater than the heaven crushing index The combined dao power of the Purple Star Civilization is starting to crumble!

One after another, these pieces of nightmarish information started to come from the mouths of the top-notch scientists.

Some of the researchers had already become expressionless with despair, tears, and snot flowing down their faces.

Were done for Were truly done for

Such formidable and devastating power How can we defeat it?

Hahaha Darkness can engulf all matter, so why cant it engulf us?

Weve failed Weve completely failed!

No, lets kill the heavens together Lets kill the heavens! Hahaha

As the darkness permeated the sky, unleashing its boundless terror, some of the cultivators finally collapsed into utter despair. Holding onto their dimension particle swords, they frenziedly slashed at the darkness in the sky. Their expressions were wild and unrestrained.

A white-haired scientist kneeled before the Purple Star Emperor and frantically kowtowed, crying in grief, Purple Star Emperor, lets lets stop this

If we stop, perhaps well still have a sliver of hope at survival

The Purple Star Emperor looked at the pitch-black sword and semi-transparent egg on the sacrificial altar. He then raised his head to glance at the expanding and increasingly chaotic darkness in the sky.

He chuckled bitterly and said, Its impossible. Either the Purple Star Civilization is destroyed today, or the Heavenly Dao is destroyed today!

Listen to my command! Activate the Purple Star Return to Desolation Dao Spear!

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the millions of powerful beings in the center of the colossal city changed drastically.

Purple Star Emperor, we cant!

If we activate this uncontrollable weapon, well not only obliterate the Heavenly Dao, but if were not careful, well even cause the entire Tai Chu Continent to suffer irreparable damage!

If we carry through with this, what are we going to make of the billions of other beings on the Tai Chu Continent?!

The powerful beings of the human tribe were all red in the face as they tried to dissuade the Purple Star Emperor.

Lets put this to a vote. We have ten seconds. The Purple Star Emperor didnt have time for nonsense.

A selection screen appeared before the eyes of the millions of powerful beings. On this screen, there were two optionsone to agree with activating the Purple Star Return to Desolation Dao Spear, and one to disagree.

Generally speaking, when the Purple Star Civilization was faced with a significant decision that would affect its entire tribe, this decision would be voted on by the several million most talented and knowledgeable powerful beings of the civilization. This was the most democratic and most logical method. Meanwhile, the remaining members of the human tribe wouldnt have any objections to the final decision.

Ten seconds ticked past.

The result of the vote appeared above the center of the sacrificial altar.

Ninety-five percent of powerful beings supported using the Purple Star Return to Desolation Dao Spear.

Only a measly three percent didnt support this decision.

The remaining two percent had abstained from voting.

The powerful beings of the Purple Star Civilization:

The sky was flooded with darkness, and an overwhelming terror was bearing down.

Faced with an existential crisis, the number one priority for the Purple Star Civilization was to protect their own tribe. Those who had most vehemently objected just then had clearly been objecting on the surface only. However, their minds were especially honest.

Its over Its all over! Purple Star Emperor, researchers, dont continue down this path! By activating this weapon, are you trying to drag the entire continent down with you? the White Spirit Snake chided in grief and indignation.

However, no one paid any attention to the White Spirit Snake.

The Purple Star Emperor made a pressing motion as he looked at the sky.

The approval rate is over seventy percent! Prepare to launch the final counterattack!

Purple Star Return to Desolation Dao Spear, activate!

A fissure suddenly opened up in the center of the sacrificial altar. This fissure then gradually spread to the two sides.

A pitch-black spear hovered out from the fissure. Once it appeared, its astounding ferocity caused even the colossal hand of darkness in the sky to shudder.

Heaven Crushing Sword, return to position.

The pitch-black sword flew toward the spear. The two weapons then instantly fused together, with two razor-sharp weapons growing out from the sides of the spear.

At the same time, countless delicate patterns materialized on the surface of the spear.

These patterns swirled rapidly, forming countless dao patterns and giving rise to boundless power. At the tip of the spear, there even materialized a ball of divine light that was formidable enough to engulf all matter.

This ball of divine light was the fusion product between the epitome of technology and the cultivation of the Purple Star Civilization. Because it was far too powerful, the Purple Star Civilization had yet to thoroughly control its power. This divine light could control millions of nomological laws, and at the same time, it could also engulf the paramount powers that represented the millions of nomological laws. The name of this divine light was the Heavenly Darkness Power!
