Half a month had passed, and seeing that the Dark Rift had been almost completely repaired, Hao Yueshen and the black figure who had been watching the battle from the sidelines couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Half a month is a fleeting time for powerful individuals like them, but in the face of this war, it seems incredibly long.
During this period, the battle continued to escalate. Although the powerful figures of the Dao Qi era tried their best to prevent their cultivators from entering the Dark Rift, they were ultimately unable to stop it from happening in its entirety.
Moreover, more than one powerful individual who had fully stepped out of the Half-Step Primogenitor Realm emerged from the Three Thousand Dao Provinces to join the battlefield.
Lin Yu and his two companions had already realized that, in terms of cultivation level alone, the experts of the Dao Qi era seemed to be superior to those Dark Creatures.
However, it seems that their cultivation methods are different, resulting in a significant gap in their strength.
The black-clad figure standing beside Lin Yu could sense that his current strength was roughly equal to that of the hundreds of the Progenitor Realm experts from the Dao Qi Era.
Of course, he could also sense that there were many strong individuals among them, whose strength seemed to surpass his own!
Realizing this, the black-clad figure's previously arrogant confidence was somewhat shaken.
However, under the watchful eyes of billions of beings in the Dao Qi era, the black crack was eventually reduced to a tiny sliver.
The eyes of all living beings were immediately filled with anticipation!
"Boom!"
Suddenly, from the depths of the Dark Rift, endless black light burst forth, completely repelling the power of the starry sky of the Dao Qi era.
The black rift, which was about to close completely, suddenly burst open again, and endless black light suddenly appeared in the starry sky of the Dao Qi era.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, the black crack once again spread to the extent of half the starry sky, and its aura was even more powerful than the one it emitted last time.
A rough estimate suggests that the aura emanating from that black crack is now at least a hundred times stronger than before.
However, this time the Dark Rift was eerily silent.
No Dark Creatures crawled out of the crack. Instead, the powerful figures from the Dao Qi era seemed to realize something in an instant, and their expressions changed drastically.
Especially the powerful figures of the Dao Qi era who had already joined the battle, upon discovering this anomaly, almost unanimously retreated.
All of this happened in an instant. All the powerful figures of the Dao Qi era did not exchange a single word, as if they had already formed a tacit understanding through endless battles.
In a short while, all the powerful figures of the Dao Qi era withdrew from the starry sky and returned to their respective Dao states.
At the same time, the pillars of light of the Three Thousand Great Daos also changed. Thousands of pillars of light connected with each other, forming a tightly wrapped net of light between the Three Thousand Dao Provinces and the void of starry sky, protecting all living beings in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.
Meanwhile, on the chaotic sea surface, countless wisps of mist rose up, completely covering the entire world.
An invisible aura emanated from the surface of the sea.
Lin Yu's gaze was solemn as he observed the primordial power at the very center of the Chaos Sea. He could sense that the mysterious power fluctuations at this moment had surpassed all the previous ones.
And that power seemed to have reached its limit, as if it were about to explode at any moment.
Compared to the caution shown by the powerful figures in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, Lin Yu's eyes showed a rare interest, and his gaze towards the Dark Rift flickered slightly, as if he was somewhat eager to try.
The atmosphere gradually became oppressive, and after an unknown amount of time, another loud noise came from the Dark Rift.
"Boom!"
A colossal hand, obscuring the sky and the sun, materialized from the Dark Rift.
"Buzz... buzz... buzz..."
After the giant hand appeared, it suddenly descended towards the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.
As the dark hand approached, the pillars of light in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces flashed simultaneously, and at the very center, ten pillars of Great Dao Pillar of Light, distinct from the others, were illuminated!
"Boom!"
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted, and a faint figure appeared within the pillar of light, as if it could step out of the pillar at any moment.
That aura was incredibly powerful, yet it was ethereal and otherworldly, covering the land of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, giving all living beings an indescribable sense of peace.
The beings within that pillar of light seemed to be like a pillar of strength, anchoring the sea.
The living beings who had just been anxious and uneasy have now all calmed down again.
This aura far surpasses that of a powerhouse at the Progenitor Realm!
The black-clad figure beside Lin Yu was already visibly shocked.
Today he finally saw what it meant to be outmatched and to be in a higher realm. It turned out that there was a realm beyond the Progenitor Realm!
As for which realm, cultivators had already reached it as early as the Dao Qi era, and judging from the current situation, it seems that more than one powerful individual has reached such a realm!
Just by looking at the light surrounding the person in front of him, the black figure felt that it was extremely profound, as if that powerful person had completely merged with the light of the Great Dao behind him.
If that figure hadn't shown up, the black-clad figure would have thought that was the Great Dao Pillar of Light itself!
Dao Lord!
Two words surfaced in the black figure's mind, as if they were something imprinted deep within his soul. Upon seeing that majestic figure, the black figure naturally understood the other's realm.
The so-called Dao Lord is a cultivator who has completely mastered a Great Dao and has become one of the Three Thousand Great Daos pillars of light supporting the heavens and earth.
To truly reach the state of coexisting and perishing with this world.
In other words, as long as heaven and earth do not perish, these Dao Lord Realm experts will achieve true immortality!
Moreover, their realm does not stagnate; their own realm power increases continuously as the time of this world lengthens, and at the same time, their own Great Dao is also perfected and improved.
Thinking of this, the black-clad figure couldn't help but make a calculation, and then couldn't help but sigh.
"My current strength is still far from that of Half-Step Dao Lord!" the black-clad figure thought helplessly.
There was a time when he thought he was already a top expert in the Three Thousand Immortal Worlds, an existence that was difficult to surpass in this world. Only today did he realize that he was still far from reaching a higher realm.
However, this is only a difference in realm. In terms of actual combat ability, he himself might not even be able to defeat the peak powerhouses of the Progenitor Realm in that era!
