《Consuming Earths, Devouring Skies 》Chapter 344: Prelude of Blood & Gold
Advertisement
Yan Zaizen's eyes looked towards the area where his soul form crumbled into nothingness. He couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
He didn't really do much to overcome that attack. The moment the orb touched his soul, it was like a pebble into an ocean. The crumbling of his soul form was merely an illusion of his own, utilizing the Imperial Law of Illusions and Mimicry to create a realistic representation of his soul death. If he could fool them all into thinking he was devoured by the Yaoguai, this was just as simple. He was quite curious as to the intentions and actions of his hunter.
Now that he realized that the person who nearly got him killed was a blind idiot, he couldn't help but shake his head in pity.
He inspected his Soul Bloodline and couldn't help but feel more pity. The object that he devoured, that black orb, was consumed in its entirety. He didn't know what it was, but he did so out of instinct to deal with any possible circumstances. Who knew that it was an exceptionally weak object.
In comparison, it didn't have as much value as a rank one heaven heart. It was truly pathetic.
"If its materials didn't interact with a Non-Entities senses as it did, it would truly be worthless." As he said this, he couldn't help but further think on the subject. The object was small, nearly worthless, yet it could render his prophetic instinct null and even induce fear into his very bones. It was truly a fascinating object.
Unfortunately, Yi Seo-Jun was now gone and unable to answer where it came from. However, now that his prophetic instinct had returned, he felt that Yi Seo-Jun would've offered no help on the matter.
He smiled.
It felt great to once more have this unique power of his.

"It's time to go," deciding this, he didn't bother to inspect the inspired masses or the grey-robed woman who was having a mental breakdown. He didn't know who she was, and frankly, he didn't care. With his newfound cultivation at the Eighth-Floor Heavenly Genesis Realm, he sped away with a quickness, soon vanishing into the horizon.
Little did he know, his actions of summoning the heavenly sphere set off a sequence of events that would change the entire Heavenly Origin Grounds!!
A river of blood and gold was on the horizon.
-----
In a far, far away location, the area was drowned in white light. There weren't any clouds or sun above, only rays of light that cascaded down like rain. The rain of light didn't seem to bother the inhabitants of this area. Regardless of their race, gender, or cultivation, they simply walked around as if everything was normal.
In truth, they couldn't see anything with their eyes and only wade through with their spiritual sense. A world of light was just as terrifying as a world of darkness, essentially making one blind, forcing cultivators to rely on their other senses to move about.
A woman garbed in priestess clothing stood atop a mountain. This mountain was like glass and reflected the light in unique ways causing beams of light to shot and move about like a light show. These beams of light were like lasers and seemed to burn anything it came in contact with.
This woman had transparent hair, flowing like a waterfall, and a crystal-like skin. Despite her odd appearance, she could be considered a beauty. Beside her was a child, a young boy about three feet high and ten years in age. He looked like a Lycah, the same race as Yan Zaizen, with a basic skin-tone and no abnormalities. However, there was something about his appearance. His eyes. They were effusing wisdom beyond his appearance and calmness that was somewhat eerie.

"Priestess, we've received word." The young boy bowed slightly, standing a short distance beyond the woman, commonly seem behavior of an inferior. The woman didn't respond, her closed eyes and beauty gracing the lands.
"The heavens have manifested. The Celestials will move." His tone was calm, but there was a slight, very slight trembling worry within.
The Priestess's eyes opened, revealing a crystalline form that seemed to radiate a myriad of colors. If Yan Zaizen were to gaze upon her eyes, he would definitely be left breathless. It contained an unfathomable grace and beauty that seemed otherworldly.
"It's finally here."
Those were her only words, but the young boy seemed to understand. With a slight nod, he back away respectfully. When he got far enough, his eyes filled with wisdom flickered with a mysterious glint, and a cold smile surfaced on his child-like lips.
-----
There was land within the Heavenly Origin Grounds known as the Celestial Kingdom. It wasn't the main hud for Celestials, but it gave off that impression. In this city, many bodies rushed to and fro in a hurry.
In this Kingdom was a glorious castle where a throne comprised of exactly one thousand different Regalia of the Heavens laid. It gave off a massive amount of heavenly power, unique concepts created by Heavenly cultivators. On this throne, a man sat with a golden crown atop his head. On the center of this crown was a vertical silver eye that seemed alive, looking here and there with a startling intensity. This eye seemed like it had never blinked in a billion years.
The man wore a golden dragon robe embroidered with clouds of various colors. The clouds shifted like they were the sky, vanishing from sight and new ones appearing of different colors. It was odd. The clouds would vanish from the front and never appear in the back, and sometimes, entirely different colors appeared amongst the clouds, as if they were all replaced. Then, they would all appear.
Before this man, three armored figures kneeled in an orderly fashion. Their heads were bowed, and their breathing was quiet and calm.
"Your Majesty." The armored figure in the middle spoke, revealing a feminine voice that contained a powerful and heroic tone.
The one referred to as 'your majesty' glanced lazily at the woman knight. He was an Emperor, above countless, below none.
"The Heavens have manifested." After she spoke those words, the two beside her was like a chorus that simultaneously spoke with power, "Our time has come!"
The Emperor nodded slightly, his expression remained lazy. "Let it be done."
"Celestial Truth!!" The three knights shouted before rising and departing.
-----
In areas far and wide, scenes like these were echoing about everywhere. From places where only fire exists, lightning replaced the sky, or time flowed in reverse, people everywhere were making a move!
