The moment the Black Ancient Scripture appeared, its utterly evil power pierced through the barrier within the arena.
A palpitation of dread rose in everyone present.
Rumble—
The heaven-shaking divine art, the Yin-Yang Twin Dragons, swept forth.
Yet unbelievably, before they could even arrive, the Yin-Yang Twin Dragons began to dissipate and decay under the gnawing of that ominous aura.
In the end, nothing happened at all—not even the slightest ripple was stirred!
In the distance, Xuan Ning's face had gone deathly pale. Exhausted, he dropped to one knee, staring at the scene in shock.
"This is..."
When he saw the Black Ancient Scripture beginning to erode the surrounding space, even gradually spreading outward—
The ever-tempered Xuan Ning seemed to realize something in an instant, and boundless killing intent suddenly surged into his eyes.
"Xuan Aotian!!"
"The power of the bizarre, the ancient scripture of the Dark Era! You beast, are you trying to drag every living being in this Dao Domain down with you?!"
"Bastard!!"
Boom!
The moment those words fell, an uproar erupted throughout the entire arena!
No one in the myriad heavens was unaware of the bizarre horrors of the Dark Era.
"W-What?!"
Countless people present shuddered, their expressions shifting from shock to terror and horror.
"Bizarre power... That guy has the Dead Scripture of the Dark Era..."
"Run... Run! I don't want to become one of those bizarre creatures!!"
"He wants to kill us all! Run!!"
Legend had it that the Dark Era began with a black-skinned ancient book. Anything related to the bizarre, once it appeared, would assimilate every living being in an entire Dao Domain!
The whole arena was thrown into chaos. Countless spectators were terrified beyond measure; even those prodigies of the Hidden Ancient Clans wore fearful expressions.
"Go! We can't stay here!"
"Who would've thought Xuan Aotian had such a thing on him? Retreat, quickly!"
To everyone within the arena, Xuan Aotian was like the source of a plague, something they feared to avoid at all costs.
Ding! Destiny's chosen protagonist Xuan Aotian has exposed his bizarre ancient scripture and lost all reputation! Destiny Value decreased! Congratulations, Master, you have obtained Villain Points! Ding! The relationship between destiny's chosen protagonist Xuan Aotian and his younger brother Xuan Ning has completely broken down! Destiny Value decreased by 5000! Congratulations, Master, you have obtained 5000 Villain Points!
The system's reward notifications rang out without end.
Upon sensing that ominous aura, Liu Zishan's lovely face turned pale with fright.
She had never expected Xuan Aotian to possess such a thing!
"Bizarre... How could this guy possibly...?!"
The Apocalypse Arena was finished!
Even Elder Qing's expression changed slightly as he immediately prepared to act!
As a Quasi-Emperor, he naturally knew what it meant for the bizarre to appear once more.
At that moment, a faint laugh rang out.
Su Chenxiao stretched lazily, then said with a smile.
"Ah~"
"After watching for so long, it's about time I made a move."
"Something this terrifying shouldn't exist within the myriad heavens..."
Within the arena.
Xuan Ning was furious beyond measure. He glared fixedly at Xuan Aotian opposite him and roared.
"Xuan Aotian, have you gone mad?!"
"Are you trying to make our entire Ancient Clan Xuan Family bury itself alongside you?!"
Enveloped by the ominous aura of the Black Ancient Scripture, Xuan Aotian seemed to have been affected as well.
His aura recovered at a terrifying speed as he threw back his head and laughed madly.
"Hahaha, so what?!"
"You forced me into this!"
"Since I, Xuan Aotian, have exposed this Black Ancient Scripture, I never intended to let any of you leave alive!"
Xuan Ning's pupils contracted.
"Heavenly Curtain!!" Xuan Aotian roared like a madman.
Boom!
Driven by its holder, the Black Ancient Scripture suddenly erupted with an unbelievable force, its black ominous aura engulfing the entire arena!
Those who had intended to flee or use teleportation talismans were all interrupted and frozen where they stood.
"Why... Why can't the teleportation talismans be used?!"
"What is this..."
Xuan Aotian's aura was terrifying as he let out a hideous laugh.
Suddenly!
Rumble rumble rumble!!
An invincible supreme divine art, brimming with divine power like a vast ocean, descended from above!
Golden divine radiance illuminated the heavens. With a single strike, it shattered both the arena's Saint Realm formation and that bizarre Heavenly Curtain!
Buzz.
The Black Ancient Scripture released an incomparably terrifying power that enveloped Xuan Aotian.
Yet even under the protection of bizarre power, Xuan Aotian's body jolted as though Mount Tai had come crashing down upon him, every bone in his body shattering inch by inch!
Pfft!
"What divine art is this?!"
"Imperial might—this is Imperial might! Could it be that a Great Emperor has descended!?"
At that moment, a teasing voice sounded from the sky.
"Alright, it's time to end this."
"From here on, it's time for the Imperial Clan Su Family to handle matters."
The Imperial Clan?!
Upon hearing that voice, the tens of thousands within the arena all stared skyward with their eyes wide open, disbelief written across their faces!
High in the sky, a handsome young master in spotless white robes descended slowly, like an exiled immortal.
His divine body shone brilliantly, flawless and immaculate, as though he did not belong to this world at all!
Beside him stood a stooped old man in black robes, whose cultivation was like a bottomless abyss, unfathomable beyond measure.
Golden divine radiance spread forth, surging like the sea and protecting that young master within it, leaving him untouched by the bizarre ominous aura.
"Quasi-Emperor... That person is a Quasi-Emperor!!"
"Who exactly are they?!"
Upon seeing the arrival, Xuan Ning dropped to one knee and immediately called out.
"Xuan Ning greets Young Master!"
Su Chenxiao glanced at Xuan Aotian below with a smiling, somewhat mocking gaze, then waved his hand.
"A thing from the Dark Era... truly surprising."
Black Ancient Scripture · ???
It contained a bizarre spirit, indestructible and imperishable. It could erode all things in the world and transform them into ominous creatures.
As he spoke, Su Chenxiao looked toward the Immortal Slaughtering Sword and the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram on the ground. With a sweep of his hand, he collected both divine objects, clicking his tongue in praise.
"The Immortal Slaying Formation... what a fine treasure!"
Ding! Destiny's chosen protagonist Xuan Aotian has lost the destiny treasure, the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram! Destiny Value decreased! Congratulations, Master, you have obtained Villain Points! Ding! Destiny's chosen protagonist Xuan Aotian has lost the destiny treasure, the damaged Immortal Slaughtering Sword! Destiny Value decreased! Congratulations, Master, you have obtained Villain Points!
"Bastard!!"
"That's my Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram and Immortal Slaughtering Sword!!"
Seeing his treasures taken away, Xuan Aotian's breathing hitched as he glared fixedly at the newcomer before him.
Yet after noticing the astonishingly cultivated old man beside Su Chenxiao, his fierce eyes flickered for a moment.
Then, without hesitation, he directly activated the Black Ancient Scripture and fired an incomparably terrifying black divine art toward them.
"Hmph!" Elder Qing bellowed, flicking his sleeve and directly shattering that divine art!
"Though it is a thing of the Dark Era, do you truly think that with this object alone, you can contend against a Quasi-Emperor?"
