Chapter 1443: 龘

Li Sanlong!

He has actually reappeared in the Yang Dimension? At this very moment, the entire world fell silent. Even fossil-level beings who had endured the transformation of oceans into dust and survived the cataclysmic tribulations were astonished. How was this possible?!

In Yin State, a dense fog enveloped the land. A tattered war banner stood upright, and the gaunt figure holding it appeared frail, as if a mere gust of wind could knock him down. He looked incredibly aged and haggard, with dishevelled grey hair and a slightly hunched back. Leaning heavily on the great banner, he exuded an aura of profound weariness and decline.

Was this the peerless powerhouse of yesteryear? In the past, he was a dominant overlord, unmatched across the land, known as the Prehistoric Mastermind. Even the Wuhuang, who claimed invincibility, had been severely beaten by him. Now, however, his situation was shrouded in sorrow and desolation. He lacked his former sharpness and the unparalleled strength and domineering presence he once possessed. At this moment, his body swayed precariously, unstable, as if he could collapse onto the dark, frozen ground of Yin State at any second. His body was failing, decaying severely – this was the unanimous perception!

Time flowed like a torrent, centuries passed like smoke, oceans turned into mulberry fields, and human lives ebbed and flowed. What kind of tribulations had he endured over the years? An ultimate body crumbling, an undefeated form decaying – this was his current state! By all appearances, he was on the verge of death. Where was the supreme demeanor that once shook the heavens and made the Great Dao tremble with a single roar?! Now, he was merely an old man, his vitality depleted, on the brink of demise. Comparing his past and present, one couldn't help but feel a profound sense of tragedy. The invincible hero of yesteryear was now like a withered, yellow leaf – it was truly unbelievable. It was lamentable that the peerless figure of the past, an unmatched overlord who could crush any foe with a raised fist, had fallen to such a state. It evoked pity and sorrow. Indeed, a hero in decline... the most tragic sight. In his prime, he was a peerless prodigy, supreme and brilliant as the scorching sun, truly illuminating the ages! Yet now, his end was so desolate. What exactly had happened to him? This was what everyone wanted to know. He seemed to be in great sorrow, whispering, letting out a wail. What kind of experience could have brought an undefeated being to such a pass?!

"His legions of followers are all gone, turned to dust and earth; only he remains!" someone whispered from a famous mountain, looking on.

"It's a pity," another remarked. "He once commanded the world, making the Myriad Daos tremble before him, but in the end, he is old and on the verge of decay."

Witnessing the apparent end of such a figure, even ancient monsters who had survived countless epochs felt a complex mix of emotions. Would they, one day, suffer an even more tragic fate?

In Han State, adjacent to Yin State, Chu Feng's eyes blazed. His super Fiery Golden Eyes emitted terrifying golden runes as he stared at Yin State. Li Sanlong, reappeared?! How did he die back then, and how has he reappeared now?! Chu Feng believed that this man held an earth-shattering secret. Both his invincible demeanor in the past and the strange circumstances of his sudden death were unsettling. For such an undefeated overlord to suddenly perish, it must have involved a conflict of the highest caliber, with supreme evolutionaries dealing a fatal blow. It was tragic for Li Sanlong, who was known as the "Great Mastermind," to ultimately die by the hands of a mastermind himself.

At this moment, after a brief lull, the outside world erupted into an enormous wave of commotion. Sect masters from various regions and many reclusive ancient monsters were thrown into disarray. Some, seeing Li Sanlong, recalled his formidable offensive power and his unparalleled might of old.

"Has he truly declined, or can he still fight one last decisive battle?"

Some speculated that his arduous return might be for a grand reckoning! Perhaps... there would be an immeasurable slaughter! Who had killed him? He must know. The Yang Dimension was likely on the verge of great chaos! At the same time, many realized that this calamity might be ten or even a hundred times more terrifying than imagined. Where was he? Yin State! Legend had become reality: the Great Yin Dimension might be about to emerge! It had been rumored since ancient times that Yin State was the gateway to the Great Yin Dimension. Had Li Sanlong truly returned alive from there, fighting his way back from the Great Yin Dimension?!

"The greatest disaster in history is about to erupt!"

Upon grasping the full implications, some prehistoric old monsters' voices trembled. They felt overwhelmed, sensing that a catastrophe leading to ethnic extermination might be imminent. Unprecedented in history, the portal to the Great Yin Dimension might already be open!

CLANG! A great bell reverberated through souls, like a thunderclap exploding over the Yang Dimension. Yin energy, like a vast sea, covered the sky and obscured the sun. Behind the gaunt figure clutching the three-dragon battle banner, a golden rift suddenly appeared. It resembled a gateway cast from gold, yet also a rift in rock. Although it was only a narrow slit, terrifying yin energy surged forth, forming a curtain that enveloped the sky! Many couldn't sit still. Had Li Sanlong opened the ancient portal to the Great Yin Dimension?!

"How dare you!" At this moment, a sound like the roaring of a golden bell swept across the world! In the underground world, dreadful eyes opened in several dark realms, and powerful beings took action! Several beams of light, like the primordial radiance from the dawn of creation, illuminated ancient times, penetrated recent ages, and purified the future. They were blindingly brilliant, becoming eternal within heaven and earth. These beams of light came from different directions, enveloping Yin State and covering the golden rift, preventing the portal to the Great Yin Dimension from fully opening! At this moment, everyone was shocked. Was Li Sanlong's death truly connected to the dark sources in the underground world? Those light beams were terrifying, seemingly capable of sealing off the past, present, and future! Could human power truly achieve such a feat?

At this moment, in Yin State, the old man, appearing on his last legs, leaned on the great banner. He seemed to be whimpering, an aura of decline coexisting with yin energy, as he suddenly made a move. RUMBLE! The great banner flapped violently, like a cloud hanging from the sky, covering the vast expanse. It shattered the firmament, evaporated the yin sea, and distorted time. Everything changed. He blocked the dazzling beams of light. The great banner stretched across the sky, isolating everything. Only three dragons emerged there, filling the entirety of Yin State, suppressing the world! True dragons roared, shaking heaven and earth!

"Li Sanlong, how dare you open the Great Yin Dimension? Are you trying to transform the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Yang Dimension into a cold, frozen wasteland, evolving it into a netherworld?!" someone roared, their voice shaking the nine heavens and spreading across the four seas, while brilliant lightning coiled in the firmament.

Laughter echoed from Yin State, yet it sounded like weeping. The figure beneath the great banner remained unmoved, suppressing heaven and earth, resisting the light beams, making the rift impenetrable to all laws. Everyone across the Yang Dimension was horrified, not only by the terrifying confrontation unfolding but also by the immediate implications of the situation. Li Sanlong's past experiences seemed incredibly complex. Wasn't he supposed to attack the Great Yin Dimension? Yet now he was personally opening that ancient golden portal.

In the underground world, several dark sources, with multiple beings, opened their eyes. Ripples of the Great Dao diffused, causing the entire heaven and earth to rumble with boundless terror. They did not rise, but the beams of light they emitted became even more dreadful, suppressing Yin State. However, in Yin State, the figure leaning on the great banner, despite his decaying form, hunched posture, and precarious swaying, once again fended them off. For a moment, the world fell silent! Was Li Sanlong truly this powerful? One man could withstand the combined might of the world's strongest!

"In his era, no being of that level could contend with him?!"

"It's no mere legend; this is indeed a reputation and status truly earned through combat."

Some whispered in various places, all old monsters, and even they felt profoundly shocked.

"Suppress!"

From the dark sources in the underground world, a sound like the trembling of the Great Dao resonated once more. At this moment, those areas even became transparent. To their horror, some discovered that behind the several revived mythical beings, faint, weakened figures emerged. Behind these beings, there seemed to be others, seated in meditation from billions of years ago, withered in unknown realms. However, these shadowy figures were almost like mirages, too illusory, as if they could collapse at any moment and instantly vanish into nothingness. These few misty, unstable shadows, however, displayed terrifying phenomena. They seemed to possess a certain awareness, exuding wisps of supreme power! Throughout the Yang Dimension, some prehistoric old monsters sensed it. Even fossil-level beings in famous mountains and great rivers felt a chill, immediately detecting something amiss.

"Beyond the dark sources of the underground world, what place is that?!" someone exclaimed in horror.

"Is that the ultimate energy diffused by these beings, or does it originate from the illusory figures behind them? Are there truly other beings behind them?" someone wondered, shocked.

"No, that's not a true being. Are the dark sources in the underground world stealing the Dao fruits of those illusory figures, or rather, those deceased beings?!"

Supreme power intertwined, piercing towards Yin State. The rumbling sound shook the world, as if divine chains of order were breaking and the Great Dao collapsing, threatening to engulf Yin State!

"Heh!" In Yin State, the figure leaning on the great banner, whether weeping or laughing, or perhaps with a hint of sarcasm, shook the banner again. At the same time, the rift behind him expanded, intensifying further, as the ancient golden portal connecting to the Great Yin Dimension slowly began to open. And at this very moment, yin energy surged forth, and silver energy steamed, virtually annihilating everything. It swept across the sky, threatening to evaporate the four seas – it was terrifying! The very rules of the Yang Dimension began to fracture because of it!

Concurrently, behind the ancient golden portal, as the silver energy surged, a being deep within the portal spoke, its soul power shaking the eight directions.

"One day... we will come!"

"The time is nearly here!"

"Heh heh, ha ha..."

Finally, the sound transformed into earth-shattering laughter, yet it was accompanied by yin mist, incredibly chilling and cold, causing the order of the Yang Dimension to crumble and the Great Dao to sever!

"Reincarnation Hunters, where are the masters behind you? Why aren't you acting yet!" someone from the dark sources in the underground world roared.

"Heavenly Emperor Family... are there still any of you? Please awaken!" Then, another deafening voice boomed through heaven and earth, as if to rouse certain individuals to suppress the Great Yin Dimension's portal.

"Where is the Guardian lineage? Return to your posts!"

Each roar shook the world. The Yang Dimension was shaken and somewhat chaotic, with many feeling anxious. At the same time, many were astonished. With each roar, ancient families and forces surfaced; some were already widely known, while others had never been heard of before.

"Heh!"

In a forbidden zone within the Yang Dimension, grey mist surged. This desolate place was no longer calm today, as eerie eyes opened, gazing towards Yin State. Grey mist permeated, and strange power boiled! If Chu Feng were here, he would undoubtedly feel a sense of familiarity. He had been tormented to death by this very power back then. Only by traversing the Path of Reincarnation and entering the Yang Dimension had he finally escaped the strange mist. In another forbidden land, the void was tattered, and black blood flowed outward, a horrifying sight! The Yang Dimension was in great turmoil, with unrest everywhere.

"Master!" In the extreme north of the Yang Dimension, several direct disciples of the Martial Lunatic cried out in terror towards the pair of golden pupils in the darkness. The Wuhuang, their Master, was there, awakening! The ripples of the Great Dao fluctuated intensely. The Martial Lunatic revealed only a pair of golden eyes, incredibly terrifying. He was recovering from a state of hibernation, and his dreadful aura was shaking heaven and earth! He had not acted before, but now he was about to move!

"Li Sanlong, is that you?"

With a thunderous boom, from the extreme north, an arm reaching across the firmament extended, truly covering the sky with a single hand. It pressed down towards Yin State. The Wuhuang, in the eyes of the world, had made his move!
