Chapter 168 The Great Calamity of the Desolate Region

Chapter 168 The Great Calamity of the Desolate Region

Shi Hao was immediately startled, because he had seen this giant claw that could cover the sky before.

When he left Stone Village alone to train in the western border of Stone Kingdom, he was horrified to see this terrifying giant claw.

These claws are enormous, bluish-gray, and cover the sky. With the slightest movement, they can scatter the clouds, cause the entire primeval mountain range to tremble, the earth to crack, and smoke and dust to billow into the sky.

Suddenly, an inexplicable aura emanated, like a primordial beast awakening. At this moment, the entire wilderness fell silent, and all birds, beasts, and even ants trembled.

The world was deathly silent, as if trapped in an ancient abyss, where all sound had vanished, and an indescribable oppression swept through the vast mountains and forests.

"What is this?"

This sight caused many villagers in Stone Village to gasp in surprise, and even Shi Hao couldn't help but ask Willow God, "Willow God, do you know what this is?"

"Supreme Divine Treasury".

Perhaps Liu Shen also found it too unexpected that this thing appeared in the lower realm, because it took her quite a while to answer Shi Hao's question. Her voice was ethereal, as if it came from the heavens, carrying a strange ethereal charm, as if she were deep in thought.

"The Supreme Divine Treasury?!"

Upon hearing Liu Shen say that this thing was a supreme divine treasure, all the people of Stone Village, including Yun Xi, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

However, this is not their fault, because this rumor has existed since ancient times and has been passed down for an unknown period of time. Almost everyone in the desolate region has heard of it, but they all regard it as a legend and believe it does not exist.

I never thought I'd actually see it today!

However, just as everyone was shocked, Liu Shen said again: "But this is most likely a trap, deliberately left behind by some great figure in ancient times, for the sake of the strongest beings in the upper realm."

Upon hearing Liu Shen's words, everyone was shocked once again. What kind of terrifying being had set this up? To create such a scheme, they had actually gone through ancient times and planned it so far in advance. It was terrifying.

"What exactly is that being? It has endured from ancient times until now!"

A chill ran down everyone's spine; they all felt that such a being was terrifyingly powerful.

To be an enemy of such a person is truly a lifelong misery; even without being directly involved, one feels a chilling aura wash over them.

Seeing the giant claw, no one thought of making a sound. Under the protection of the Willow God, they retreated silently.

Without disturbing the giant tortoise, they appeared directly in Stone Village.

"Boom!"

Just as they arrived at the village, a sudden, deafening roar shook the vast earth and caused the mountains to tremble.

"Has someone from the upper realm descended?"

Everyone was horrified.

This sound, along with the enormous fluctuations, could be sensed even by ordinary cultivators in the desolate region.

At the edge of the sky, divine light shone brightly, and the great crack in the void was spreading. In the shadows, a portal was taking shape and being built!

"Buzz!"

As a strange wave spread out, the Gate to Heaven suddenly exploded!

Brilliant as fireworks, stunning as the morning glow, colorful and bursting forth with a roar, a shower of light like meteors streaking across the entire sky.

The door exploded, accompanied by a rain of blood and scales, disappearing into the void and heading towards destruction.

Everyone saw it clearly, and a chill ran down their spines. Was the lower realm really that dangerous?

However, they were also somewhat relieved because they were far enough away and in the sky; otherwise, even if the village was surrounded by towering mountains, they would have turned to dust and ceased to exist.

What weighed heavily on their minds was that in the following days, divine light appeared intermittently in the distance. It was a great rift in the void, creating a very strange celestial phenomenon.

The astonishing celestial phenomenon shocked many cultivators in the desolate region, causing widespread panic.

Because all living beings know that this is a sign of impending calamity, and a great storm is about to begin!

In an instant, all the Venerables fell silent, some fleeing to the outer realms, others hiding in the abyss to seal themselves away, each employing secret techniques, all for the sake of self-preservation.

Time passed slowly, and an obscure and inexplicable aura appeared in the world, making people's hearts tremble and all cultivators uneasy.

In the primeval mountains, monkeys howled and tigers roared, and various ferocious birds spread their wings and soared into the sky; all were restless and increasingly uneasy.

In recent days, various strange changes have occurred in the desolate region, especially the occasional appearance of large rifts in the sky, as if some enormous creature is about to descend.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and the world has become increasingly oppressive. Sometimes, even when the sky is clear for miles, it will suddenly tremble violently, thunder will rumble, and huge cracks will appear in the void.

Finally, after a muffled sound, the universe trembled violently, as if the heavens and earth were being reborn, and all living beings trembled.

"Buzz!"

Then a strange, loud noise came from the void. It was the deviation of the Great Dao's trajectory, causing a brief pause, and the world seemed to freeze.

Then, when all the cultivators looked up at the sky, they were all horrified. The sky cracked open, cracking open with an unyielding will!

"boom!"

The sky shattered, unleashing boundless divine light and a vast aura of divine power, which was captured by countless beings, all of whom gained some understanding.

A great calamity is about to begin, but many cultivators are obsessed because fragments of laws that do not belong to this world are falling from the darkness, enlightening them and leading them to a state of sudden enlightenment.

"when!"

Suddenly, a melodious bell rang out, resounding through the sky and spreading to every corner of the desolate region. No matter how large the region was, it could not escape its sound, and all of it was swept away by the bell's waves.

The minds of all beings were shaken, and they all looked at the sky in disbelief.

There, a large bell slowly descended, ancient and natural. With a gentle tremor, visible ripples spread like waves, sweeping across the boundless wilderness.

This bell was truly astonishing. It was surrounded by swirling mist and radiant light, with countless rays of divine light and auspicious colors constantly blooming and enveloping the vast earth. Nothing could compare to it.

One symbol after another lit up on the bell wall, like a eulogy, which rang out with the sound of the bell, proclaiming to the world, resounding in the ears of all living beings, and reaching the hearts of all souls.

The obscure and profound voice was like the whisper of an ancient and forbidden figure. Though there was no physical form, it seemed as if a gaze had swept across the entire world and pierced through the river of time.

The memorial text is grand, with an ancient feel and a sense of sorrow.

"boom!"

However, this was not the end, because with another muffled sound, the trajectory of the Great Road seemed to shift again, and something else fell from the sky, bursting forth with brilliant rays of light.

"Huh? What happened!?"

Looking at that object, Shi Hao was shocked, and his face showed disbelief.

The object was pure white and translucent, as if carved from fine mutton-fat jade, and it exuded a chaotic aura, surrounded by layers of precious light. It possessed a primordial energy and a simple, ancient Taoist charm.

It was similar to the small pagoda hanging in his hair, and they even seemed to have the same origin.
