Chapter 38 The Apocalyptic Calamity of the Mythical Era
Heaven and earth were without light; the stars shifted and the constellations turned!
Xiao Yueying felt as though she had dread a long, long dream—and yet it seed only an instant had passed. When she ca back to her senses, she found herself standing in a completely unfamiliar world.
The sky here was incomparably high, with layer upon layer of white clouds stretching far and wide. She seed to be standing atop a mountain peak, and when she looked around, all the mountains and rivers were beneath her feet.
Just one glance filled her with a deep sense of desolation and ancientness, as though the air itself carried the weight of ages.
“Where… is this?”
“Where am I?”
“Heavens, what happened?”
“Yueying, what is this place?”
…
One voice after another rang out beside her—everyone had co here with her. Xiao Yueying opened her mouth, but couldn’t form any words. Because she didn’t know what was happening either.
“Don’t panic. You’re currently inside an illusion formation.”
Yan Fei’s voice rang out at just the right mont.
Hearing that voice, Xiao Yueying felt as if she had just taken a calming pill—her heart instantly settled. After three years of adventuring, she had faced countless life-and-death crises, and Yan Fei had always found a way to turn danger into safety. So she trusted Yan Fei deeply.
“Father, Grand Elder, everyone—we are now inside an illusion formation. Stay where you are, don’t move. Don’t lose your composure.”
Xiao Yueying spoke out loudly.
The term “illusion array” was not unfamiliar to the people of the Xuanxian World. Besides the cultivators who focused on combat power, many auxiliary professions were also available in this world — such as alchemy, artifact crafting, formation arts, spiritual planting, and so on.
Among the many types of formations, the “illusion array” was a major category. Although the elders and guards of the Xiao family had never seen one before, they had heard of it, and thus quieted down a bit.
“Teacher, have you discovered anything?”
Xiao Yueying used her divine sense to communicate with Yanfei.
“For now, I haven’t sensed any danger, but there is a deep sense of ancient desolation here — it’s very likely the world of the Mythic Era!”
There was a trace of excitent in Yanfei’s voice. Back when they were in the first layer of the Golden Crow Secret Realm, after Xiao Yueying had refined the Golden Crow essence blood, she had described the vision she saw to Yanfei.
At the ti, Yanfei had longed deeply to witness it herself — but unfortunately, she had no such chance. Now that she finally had the opportunity to experience it personally, how could she not be filled with excitent?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yueying was startled and quickly relayed the information to Xiao Ding and the other elders of the Xiao family, instantly triggering a wave of exclamations.
“You’re saying we might be standing in the very world of the Mythic Era? Heavens, this… this is…”
Xiao Ding was so overwheld with emotion he could barely speak. Just then, a shrill screech suddenly rang out from the sky, piercing the air like thunder rending the land. Everyone was shocked and hurriedly looked up.
They saw ten enormous three-legged Golden Crows flying in a line across the sky. Each of them was at least several thousand zhang* in size, their scarlet-gold wings spread wide, blotting out the heavens.
“Oh my god, what kind of strange bird is that?”
“I can’t believe such huge birds exist—each one looks like a mountain!”
“Those are the Three-Legged Golden Crows, the legendary solar divine birds!”
…
The Xiao family guards let out wave after wave of exclamations, completely awestruck by the scene before their eyes.
“Yueying, is that the Three-Legged Golden Crow you saw in your mory?” Yan Fei’s voice rang out.
“Yes, that’s right! It’s the one in the middle, slightly to the right. That’s the sixth prince of the Golden Crows—I recognize the divine fire on him!” Xiao Yueying said excitedly.
Just then, a sudden change occurred!
The ten Three-Legged Golden Crows in the sky suddenly emitted an incomparably dazzling light, nearly flooding the entire heavens. In the next instant, the Golden Crows vanished, replaced by ten blinding, radiant suns!
Ten Suns in the Sky!
This was sothing ordinary people couldn’t even imagine—yet it was happening right before their eyes.
“It’s so hot! The temperature is rising rapidly!”
“Wasn’t this supposed to be an illusion? Why can I actually feel the heat?”
“Even the hottest sumr in Blackstone City wasn’t like this!”
“Oh god, I feel like my body is going to explode!”
“Ten suns in the sky—who could possibly endure that?”
…
The elders and guards of the Xiao Clan let out another round of shocked cries, feeling their body temperatures rise rapidly. Their chests and backs were soaked with hot sweat. But what shocked them even more was the earth-shaking transformation of the entire prehistoric world following the appearance of Ten Suns in the Sky.
Those humans and demon beasts caught in the projection of the suns were instantly evaporated, turning into wisps of black smoke. Flowers, plants, and trees spontaneously combusted in the scorching air. A sea of fire engulfed the mountains and great peaks.
Even rivers, lakes, and seas weren’t spared—they were directly evaporated, leaving behind nothing but scorched earth. The entire land turned crimson red.
Was it illuminated by the sea of flas, or dyed by blood?
No one knew.
At that mont, even Yan Fei was left speechless, stunned by the terrifying scene. This was no longer a re demon disaster—it was more like a natural calamity, or perhaps… a heavenly tribulation.
Everyone’s hearts echoed with a single desperate thought.
Soone, please—kill these three-legged golden crows!
If not, the world would be dood.
Could this be one of the apocalyptic calamities from the Mythical Era?
A sense of despair rose in Xiao Yueying’s heart.
She knew very well—these ten three-legged golden crows were the sons of the Demon Emperor Dijun, princes of the Demon Heavenly Court!
The Demon Heavenly Court ruled over the world!
The Demon Emperor Dijun held dominion over all!
These ten golden crow princes bore the bloodline of the Golden Crow royal clan—each one was the embodint of the sun. With a single thought, they could burn ten thousand miles.
Who would dare to stop them?
And who could possibly stop them?
