Chapter 1864: The Lords Awaken

Tian Shu Prison.

In the dim sky light, stars lit up silently in the void.

The skeleton calamities that were impacting the outer wall of Tian Shu Prison paused simultaneously. A vast and vigorous aura drifted down from the stars, and everything around dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, making people feel as if they were in the boundless deep space.

"Why did it get dark?"

"Look, everyone, the stars in the sky are brighter than the sun!"

"Isn't it daytime now? Why are there stars?"

"One, two, three, four, five, six... seven? Exactly seven."

"Is it my imagination, or why are those calamities starting to tremble?"

“……”

The celestial phenomenon undoubtedly attracted the attention of all the people in the prison. While they were terrified that the calamities would rush into the city, they were curious about the stars flickering in the sky.

Just then, the starlight emitted by those stars suddenly seemed to come alive, quickly gathering into a group...

A brilliant path of starlight paved itself across the sky!

Hum—!!!

A figure stepped onto it slowly.

A white research coat billowed in the wind, and a pair of eyes filled with stars looked down at the bustling city below with complex emotions.

"This city... is built better than I imagined."

"Although that emperor uses unscrupulous means, he is indeed a wise ruler for the people."

His gaze leaped over the city and looked outside the magnificent outer wall. The wave-like calamities were impacting the city’s defenses wave after wave, and the guards’ defense line was already riddled with holes.

He raised his hand gently, and a brilliant starlight lit up from his fingertips. That wisp of starlight crossed the void and fell directly into the calamity tide...

In the next moment,

a brilliant scorching sun, like a miniature star explosion, swallowed the dense calamities directly.

In the absolute high temperature, no matter how hard the skeleton calamities’ bodies were, they sublimated into gas in an instant. A jaw-dropping vacuum area slowly unfolded before the eyes of all the people and guards...

They looked up in shock and astonishment at the figure walking out on the starlight, murmuring:

"Could that be..."

"Tian Shu Lord?"

……

Cang Yun Prison.

"Whether he’s a wise ruler or a foolish one, back then he took advantage of us being about to fall into a deep sleep to launch a sneak attack and seize power. This matter cannot just be turned over."

A surging storm vortex formed in the sky, and thunder like giant pythons danced hideously within it.

In the center of the vortex, a figure snorted coldly, his black tie flapping:

"Since Director Chen is back, we don't need to be afraid of him..."

"In my opinion, let’s just overturn his broken dynasty together."

As his voice fell, he raised his five fingers and grabbed at the distant calamity tide across the air...

Crack—!!!

Roaring thunder, like a rainstorm, smashed frantically into the calamity tide. The painful roars of the charred giant beasts sounded continuously, but were swallowed by the thunder. Before the raging thunder, the final roars of their lives were as tiny and faint as mosquitoes and flies.

……

Ling Xu Prison.

A massive and towering steel pillar stood in the very center of the city.

Looking from the city, this steel pillar had no aesthetic appeal, but it had existed for too long, so much so that the people living here subconsciously ignored its existence... No one went to ask carefully what this steel pillar actually was.

But if someone could walk into this steel pillar, they would find that the towering sentry towers and the airtight steel walls like the pillar were actually just to seal a towering mountain...

The steel outer wall trapped the entire mountain within it, and even poured a roof, like a steel cage tailor-made for this mountain.

At the same time, dozens of blinding lights shot out from different directions, shining on a temple on the top of the mountain twenty-four hours a day, leaving it without the slightest shadow or dead angle...

Sentry towers, iron walls, eternal pale lights—this dead and dull atmosphere had lasted for hundreds of years.

It was as if something extremely dangerous was imprisoned here.

Crack—

A slight cracking sound came from the depths of the temple.

Following that, a burst of urgent alarms sounded from every direction of the steel pillar. Scarlet warning lights flickered frantically, and panicked voices echoed in every sentry tower:

"Ling Xu Lord is awake!"

"Repeat!!"

"Ling Xu Lord is awake!!!"

"Report to His Majesty immediately!!"

“……”

Before the words were finished, whether it was the scarlet flickering warning lights or the white lights that always illuminated the temple, they suddenly made a loud noise as if the voltage was overloaded. All artificial light disappeared suddenly, and the silent darkness shrouded the entire mountain!

The urgent cries for help also came to an abrupt end, as if the transmission of sound was also forcibly cut off at this moment.

In the silent stillness and darkness,

a figure in monk robes walked slowly out of the temple.

Messy, slightly curly black hair fluttered silently with his footsteps. The moment he stepped over the threshold of the temple, a roaring sound exploded from overhead!!

Bang—!!!

This super cage that sealed the entire mountain and was made of steel was torn apart by some kind of power in an instant, and a crack dozens of meters wide ran through it from top to bottom.

Dim light shone through this hideous crack onto the mountain that hadn't seen the sun for hundreds of years...

And it also plated a faint halo on the surface of the simple monk robes.

The figure stopped in the crack-like light and shadow.

"I listen to Director Chen..."

"The things from back then cannot just be turned over. Ying Fu used vicious means first, so he must pay the price."

"But one thing is one thing, and extreme malicious revenge is also not advisable. After all, in the final analysis, our starting points and goals are consistent... it’s just that the methods are different."

"Don't worry..."

"I know what to do."

He bent down and began to pick up smooth and bright pebbles from the ground unhurriedly.

His demeanor was very serious, as if he wasn't just picking up stones, but carefully selecting research materials. While picking them up, he muttered to himself:

"This one is Old Lu’s... this one is Yang Xiao’s... this one is Wen Ruoshui... this one is Chu Changqing... and Ji Xuan, Old Qi... and mine..."

"Mm... Dr. Su’s one, have to pick a big piece... and her little boyfriend, have to pick a bigger one..."

"Forget it, add another handful..."

While muttering, he had already filled his hand with pebbles.

His gaze turned slowly, looking toward the direction of the Cheng Tian Realm. The hand holding the pebbles raised, and pieces of Ling Xu numbers flashed rapidly in the air.

The rules of this physical world were being rapidly tampered with under his will.

"Just consider it..."

"It must be our welcome gift."

*Whoosh—!!!*

In the next second, he hurled the pebble in his hand with all his might!!!
