Chu Sheng died.
There was no suspense whatsoever. He had not even been killed—he had committed suicide. The Final Calamity now surging forth from within him proclaimed this outcome.
Wherever the radiance of the Final Calamity passed, no matter what Great Dao it was or how profound its mysteries, all of it inevitably marched toward extinction, save for Si Sui, who had already transcended. Chu Sheng bore the brunt of it and naturally fell first. In that instant, Lu Yang even heard the wail of the [Fixed Number] Great Dao.
"Rumble!"
The next moment, after Chu Sheng's Dharma Body collapsed, a colossal Mysterious Cave appeared out of thin air. The radiance of the Final Calamity was pouring forth from it.
"It is [Time]."
Si Sui murmured under his breath, as though he still could not believe it even now. "No wonder he did not use it before. He filled the entire Great Dao into the future."
At the same time, Lu Yang finally understood what Chu Sheng had done.
[Time] as the guide.
[Fixed Number] as the marker.
Using these two Great Daos, Chu Sheng had forcibly drawn the Light Sea's Final Calamity—which had long been fated, yet should only have appeared in the distant future—into the present.
Within the Mysterious Cave, a figure emerged.
It was [End Tiger].
He was still in human form, clad in a yellow robe, with the same bewildered expression on his face. He seemed utterly unable to understand why Chu Sheng had done this.
Then, he snapped.
".Bastard!"
"That old beast spoke with such utter conviction before. So he really did lie to me about having no way to trigger the Final Calamity! He said he could trigger it, and he actually triggered it!"
End Tiger was so furious that his entire body trembled.
