Chapter 304: I’ll accompany you on this escapade
The three large-scale ‘Apocalypses’ that nearly wiped out humans were composed of three parts. Firstly, it was the Original Sin of Calamity that existed for only half an hour. Secondly, the Seven Deadly Sins would wreck havoc for three days. Thirdly, all sorts of natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions would constantly occur.
The Original Sin of Calamity was no doubt the strongest existence. Although it was unknown why the Original Sin of Calamity would only exist for half an hour, it would be able to kill nearly all the strongest people in the human world in the thirty minutes. Ten thousand years ago, the pixie species which Kali was from had all its strongest figures annihilated by the Original Sin of Calamity, including her mother and grandmother.
And in the next three days, the Seven Deadly Sins—”Pride”, “Envy”, “Gluttony”, “Lust”, “Wrath”, “Sloth” and “Greed”—would begin slaughtering humans. As the Original Sin of Calamity had killed all the strong in the human world, the remaining humans were unable to withstand the wanton destruction of the Deadly Sins. Usually, there would be an extrely small number of people that could luckily survive after three days. They would then beco the last mbers of humanity.
However, it appeared as though once the human population reached a particular number, the Apocalypse would befall. Over the ten thousand years, the Apocalypse had happened thrice, and based on ti, the fourth Apocalypse was probably in the near future.
When the first Apocalypse happened ten thousand years ago, Kali was just an innocent young girl. In human equivalent, she was only twelve or thirteen years old. Back then, she had witnessed the tragedy of the pixie species’ downfall.
Accordingly, she should have died during the three days the Deadly Sins wrecked havoc, but her pixie bloodline was extrely pure. She was luckily chosen by the soon-to-wither World Tree to be its successor, therefore, she was lucky to survive.
Later on, she began searching for all sorts of inheritance of mighty figures in the human world, and slowly, she beca more powerful. Following that she went to countless planes of existence for the next nine thousand years.
During the nine thousand years, she beca extrely powerful. She then returned to the human world and went into slumber for a thousand years, so as to wait for the fourth Apocalypse to happen.
She did not know if her present strength was sufficient to defeat the Original Sin of Calamity, but she had to give it a try.
Not long ago, Shi Xiaobai had pulled out a sealing sword in the Underworld. This resulted in the tiny black-lit person, nad ‘Gluttony’ to be revealed. This gave Kali and excellent opportunity.
This was because the Original Sin of Calamity would hide in the human world every ti. It would not even know its own identity until the Apocalypse happened, only then would it awaken.
In the first apocalypse, the “Original Sin of Calamity” was a weak blind old man.
In the second apocalypse, it was a king who ruled over half a continent.
In the third apocalypse, it was a three-year-old child.
Before the Original Sin of Calamity awoke, its age, gender, status, etc did not follow any rule. Kali had previously attempted to find the Original Sin of Calamity before it awoken in them, but she did not manage it.
And with ‘Gluttony’ prematurely appearing, it gave Kali a golden opportunity. This was because ‘Gluttony’ might instinctively search for the awakener of the Original Sin of Calamity, or the other Deadly Sins that were hidden.
Therefore, Kali did not imdiately kill ‘Gluttony’, which had wrecked havoc in the human world three tis. Instead, she created a realm seal and used it as bait, in the hopes of catching bigger fish.
And at this mont in ti, it appeared as though the bait had taken the initiative to search for the big fish?
For ‘Gluttony’ to risk sealing itself to the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, so as to not activate the self-destruct chanism, it had entered the fifth level of Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower. It proved that there was an existence ‘Gluttony’ had to carefully look for in the fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower.
Other than the Original Sin of Calamity and the other Deadly Sins, who else could such an existence be?
Kali suddenly turned nervous. She had been in training for nine thousand years and had been around for ten thousand years. She did to avenge her family and clansn, and at this mont, the awakener of the Original Sin of Calamity had apparently been revealed.
How could she not be excited?
Kali stared intently at the screen of light. The tiny black-lit person bit through a thick spatial barrier and constantly forged ahead. A few minutes later, it finally tore through the chaotic flow of space, and reached the fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower!
After it reached the fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, it did not act like it usually did, devouring everything. Instead, it was moving towards a particular direction at an extrely fast speed, as it managed to curb its instinctual desires!
Kali was unable to calm down at this mont. Similarly, she was looking forward to it.
Where was Gluttony heading?
What was it looking for?
The answer would soon be revealed.
…
…
Fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower
Mu Yuesheng, Mozzie, and Kevin were guarding Shi Xiaobai beside him, while warily watching their surroundings.
Pulp Farr, Liu Yu, and Zhou Chuchu stood ten ters away to defend.
Liu Yu and Zhou Chuchu had brought a tiny portion of the blood in different directions, but very soon, the blood escaped their imprisonnt, so they could only return.
The top ten rookies in the official forecast were patrolling the outer periter, while three rookies defended from a close proximity. Such a defense lineup caused many rookies that were eager to attempt an attack to retreat.
Of course, there were a few desperate rookies that took the risk and tried sneaking in an attack, but they ended up in failure.
They attempted running away after their failure, but there was no way they could escape Pulp Farr and company’s clutches. All of them paid the terrible price of being eliminated due to their impulsive actions.
Just thirty seconds ago, the authoritative voice reminded everyone that there was only one minute left until the end of the present Life and Death Assault round.
“Another thirty seconds.”
Mu Yuesheng said, “We have to be even more vigilant. There might be even more people who can’t tolerate it in the final thirty seconds and end up choosing to take the risk.”
Mozzie and Kevin nodded heavily as they warily concentrated on their surroundings.
Whether it would end in perfect success or complete failure depended on these final thirty seconds.
The mountain was silent. Other than the soft sounds of breathing as well as Pulp Farr and company deliberately softening their footsteps, there was no other sound except the occasional breeze and the rustling of leaves.
The six people were fully vigilant of the slightest movents around them.
Ti quietly passed. One second, two seconds, three seconds…
No one ca to the very end. Not a single one.
At this final mont, it appeared as though the nefarious rookies had given up?
“Sothing’s coming!”
Pulp Farr suddenly shouted. Everyone hurriedly turned their heads. Nothing appeared out of the dark forest trail, but they could simultaneously sense a terrifying aura.
Everyone’s expression changed drastically. They could not repress an overwhelming fear that arose from their hearts.
Who was the person who ca?
Before the person arrived, it had already given them such a repressive feeling?
The six hurriedly took up a battle stance.
Liu Yu gulped and said, “This ti, it seems it’s sothing more terrifying than the bloody figure. This sinister aura makes this penniless priest’s Dao heart stir. It’s definitely no ordinary existence.”
Zhou Chuchu said in a speechless manner, “It’s just the Psionic Mortal Realm. How can there be so many monsters!?”
A few seconds later, the shadow that everyone was staring at intently finally turned into a strange figure that rushed at them!
The mont this figure appeared, an oppressive force accompanied it. Other than Shi Xiaobai, the other six were pushed away by the force where they landed far away. They were unable to put up even the slightest of resistance!
This figure was rushing straight at Shi Xiaobai!
“Oh no!”
Everyone stared with widened eyes. The figure that suddenly appeared was an existence they could not defend against. Furthermore, its target was extrely obvious. It was here for Shi Xiaobai.
At this mont, the authoritative voice resounded through the world.
Was all that hard work for so long going to fall short at the final mont?
“This round of Life and Death Assault has ended. Death Epaulette wearer, Shi Xiaobai, successfully ‘survived’ and will be transported to the sixth level after three seconds.”
Everyone imdiately revealed an indescribable bitter smile. Three seconds. There were only three seconds left!
But the sudden appearance of this shadow was already in front of Shi Xiaobai. Would it miss the valuable three seconds?
The figure that burst forward stopped a ter in front of Shi Xiaobai. Everyone finally saw the true face of this figure and imdiately gasped.
This was a figure that barely looked human, with black light shrouding it. However, it was several tis smaller than a human. It looked about the size of a hand.
The tiny black-lit person floated in midair, as though it was observing Shi Xiaobai, but it did not imdiately make its next move.
This tiny thing had caused them to not be able to put up any resistance?
Suddenly, the tiny black-lit person opened its mouth and issued a strange voice. It sounded like a mysterious language.
It was ‘speaking’ to the unconscious Shi Xiaobai?
However, it was as though the tiny black-lit person had not ‘spoken’ in a very long ti. It’s voice sounded very distorted.
But the tiny black-lit person imdiately attempted to make the sa sound.
The second ti, it was much clearer.
However, when the tiny black-lit person was about to say the sa thing a third ti, a blinding light suddenly enveloped the tiny black-lit person, causing it to let out a shrill scream.
At the sa ti, the sky suddenly began to shatter like glass as the ground began to quake violently, as though it was doomsday.
At this mont, the three seconds were finally up. Shi Xiaobai suddenly transford into a golden beam of light that shot into the sky and headed for the sixth level.
The light that enveloped tiny black-lit person imdiately withdrew and the world turned calm.
The tiny black-lit person let out a roar of indignation and shot into the sky. Slamming its head into the sky, it drilled a tiny hole and went through it, as though it was chasing after Shi Xiaobai.
Upon seeing this short but incredulous scene, everyone fell into a silent daze, unable to recover for a long period of ti.
What had happened?
…
Kali’s eyes glazed over slightly as she muttered, “Impossible… Impossible…”
“It can’t be Shi Xiaobai.”
“He can’t be the Original Sin of Calamity.”
A bitter smile suffused across Kali’s lips. “Since it’s impossible, why did you prevent Gluttony from saying the words for a third ti? It was obvious you could hear it clearly the third ti.”
“What are you afraid of?”
“What are you avoiding?”
Kali gave a faint sigh. “If the truth was really that… What should I do?”
At this mont, in the light curtain, the tiny black-lit person was madly gobbling the spatial barrier. It was attempting to break through the fifth level to the sixth level. Without any doubts, it was chasing after Shi Xiaobai.
Kali’s blank stare gradually recovered.
“Even if it’s the truth, I’ll make it false.”
A resolute look flashed in Kali’s eyes.
A beam of light suddenly blood from her body as she disappeared into endless darkness.
Kali’s face turned slightly white.
“A self-seal is very simple, isn’t it?”
A beam of light suddenly broke through the darkness, as though a door had suddenly opened to blinding light. Kali stepped through it.
“Shi Xiaobai, I’ll accompany you on this escapade.”
