Chapter: 182

The white dragon revolved around Yun Che tightly, hiding him from the world completely. The white lightning cracked around the cocoon made up of the dragon. The clouds above the sky seemed to stop, as if waiting to see what was happening below.

Time passed in silence, as Tai Yu and Zhou Xuzi looked at the cocoon with bated breath. An invisible pressure seemed to be emanating from the cocoon, making everyone who looked at it feel heavy in their hearts.

As more time passed, the feeling of this invisible suppression became heavier. Zhou Xuzi and Tai Yu could instinctually feel it - primal fear. Something was happening inside the cocoon, something was being born whose existence hadn't fully formed, yet they felt their bodies getting heavier.

The sound ceased to exist around the cocoon, the wind stopped blowing, fearing to disturb it, the laws dared not approach it, fearing they might break down.

"W-What is going on?" Tai Yu asked with difficulty, finding it incredible that, given his power as a Divine Master, he was afraid of being inside the cocoon.

"It's over..." Zhou Xuzi's eyes lost their luster as despair covered his face. "Primal Chaos is doomed... We are doomed..."

"God Emperor..." Tai Yu wanted to say something to console Zhou Xuzi, but he, himself, wasn't in a good position, so he decided to remain quiet and observe the cocoon.

None of the people present even thought about attacking it because they understood the futility of attacking the cocoon. They feared they might not survive if they approached it.

Leaving the being inside, the pressure that the white lightning dragon released was already enough to make them feel death.

After some time, the cocoon finally showed a reaction.

Zap*

A small sound was produced, and the lightning around Yun Che started to change its color. From white to black, the process happened seamlessly and smoothly. In an instant, the white lightning was replaced by black, releasing a much more intense suppression than before.

This suppression wasn't due to the power of lightning but due to its nature.

"Darkness Profound Energy..." Tai Yu muttered in a daze.

Darkness Profound Energy had the ability to suppress the strength of anyone who didn't cultivate it. It was the same for everyone. It didn't matter if you were the strongest existence within the current era; Darkness Profound Energy would still suppress your strength when you came in contact with it.

It was one of the main reasons why no one ever initiated an all-out attack on the Northern Divine Region, which was shrouded in thick Darkness Profound Energy. At most, they could fight at the border of the Northern Divine Region, and that alone put a burden on their Profound Veins, let alone fighting inside of it.

Divine Master or not, their Profound Veins would be suppressed once inside.

Hence the Northern Divine Region became a perfect haven for refugees or criminals hiding from the other three divine regions. As long as they were inside the Northern Divine Region, no one would pursue them, so they could hide there for as long as they desired without worrying about being followed by people from the other three divine regions.

Zap*

The black lightning cracked once again, this time everyone felt immense threat in their hearts. Their instincts flared widely, and they could tell that something bad was about to happen, especially the Divine Masters from the Eternal Heaven Realm.

Their instincts were proven correct when, in the next instant, thick whips made up of black lightning shot out from the cocoon in all directions, like nimble snakes, moving towards every single Eternal Heaven Guardian.

"Defend!" Tai Yu's eyes widened, and he shouted.

Profound energy burst out of every single Eternal Heaven Guardian as they put their best defenses in front of them, hoping to stop the black lightning.

"It's useless..." Zhou Xuzi muttered, not even bothering to defend.

As he had predicted, the black lightning seemed to have strength beyond their understanding. It seamlessly pierced through whatever defenses they had put in front of them as if they never existed.

Pochi*

The next instant, the tendrils of black lightning pierced the chests of every single Eternal Heaven Guardian, including Tai Yu and Zhou Xuzi.

"Impossible..." Tai Yu's eyes widened as blood started to streak down his lips, an incredulous look appearing on his face.

They were peak Divine Masters, the pinnacle of strength within the current era. They had reached the apex of Primal Chaos and were not afraid of anyone in existence, including the Dragon Monarch himself. They revered and respected him but never feared him.

They had their pride and arrogance for reaching the apex of Primal Chaos; why would they be afraid of a single person? At most, they respected him but never feared him.

But their arrogance and pride were as useless as a thin sheet of paper in front of the black lightning that easily pierced through it.

Tai Yu couldn't believe it, and the same was true for everyone else.

People from the middle-rank, people from the high-rank, people from the low-rank, Eternal Heaven Guardians... no one could believe that Divine Masters were utterly useless today.

"Ah... AHHHH!"

The screams instantly filled the sky of the Flame God Realm, and panicked Eternal Heaven Guardians started to thrash around. Their profound energies burst out, and they started to throw attacks towards the black lightning, but all of it was ineffective; it simply ceased to exist the moment it came in contact with it.

It was the lightning from the 9th Heavenly Tribulation! It held the anger of Heaven itself! It was impossible for mortals to destroy it, when they couldn't even fight against the 1st Heavenly Tribulation, let alone the 9th.

Darkness Profound Energy started to come out from their pierced chests, slowly but surely corroding their bodies. Like a sentient creature, it started to slowly cover their bodies.

The screams started to vanish from the skies one after another, soon leaving behind masses of Darkness Profound Energy in the shape of a human being.

"High Heavens..."

People looked at the scene in despair as the Eternal Heaven Guardians turned into Darkness Profound Energy and were absorbed by the black lightning, feeding the person inside it to further fuel his growth.

In the next instant, the black lightning cocoon burst into tiny black particles and vanished, revealing the person inside of it.

He stood tall in the sky as his pitch-black hair danced hypnotically in the air. His skin was slightly pale and devoid of any blemishes; his black-golden robes fluttered freely in the wind.

He opened his eyes, revealing a pair of terrifying ink-black gaze, a small smile adorning his face as he raised his hand and clenched it into a fist.

"Not bad..."

His soft voice rang loudly above the sky, yet everyone could hear it clearly, causing their bodies to tremble and their profound energy to get out of control. This scared the living hell out of them! Just the voice alone was enough to make them feel helpless!

"So this is what the peak of the Divine Master feels like... Sadly, the Primal Chaos cannot bear any more power. It's time to heal it, I guess."

They could not feel even an ounce of Profound Energy coming from him, yet the feeling of dread filled their entire existence when they looked at him.

A primal fear came from their souls when they looked at him.

Everyone understood instantly that this man could kill all of them with a thought alone.

A True God was born within the Primal Chaos today!
