“What is it?” asked Long Chen.
Zi Yan answered, “I could hear its emotions in its roar earlier. Now, holding its crystal core, I can sense anger, resentment, and fear. It was so hungry that it attacked the barrier even though it sensed strong fluctuations on our side. From everything I’ve learned, it seems it was forced out of its original domain.”
Hearing that, Long Chen was surprised and quickly examined the corpse.
He said, “There aren’t any wounds. That means whatever forced it out was so strong that it didn’t even try to fight back. But it still dared to attack us. So, at least to it, we’re weaker than whatever chased it away.”
Everyone was shocked by Zi Yan and Long Chen’s analysis. This mutated lifeform was a Divine Emperor, incredibly strong but not very smart. It acted only on instinct.
However, creatures like this always had keen spiritual senses. They could judge someone’s strength very well. The fact that it feared an unknown lifeform but not them was a bad sign.
“Its cultivation base is in the Divine Emperor realm, but the pressure it emits is much stronger than that bat from earlier. Is the disparity between the realms of these mutated creatures really so great?" asked Chi Yutong.
Long Chen nodded. “Yes, it does seem that way.”
Once this mutated lifeform’s corpse was brought into the Flame God Sect, they immediately shut down the illumination formation to avoid drawing the attention of other frightening existences.
As darkness descended once more, everyone felt a heavy pressure on their hearts and minds. It was suffocating.
This mutated lifeform was already extremely powerful. They couldn’t imagine how strong a mutated lifeform in the Sovereign Lord realm would be.
After examining the dragon, Zi Yan said, “Judging by its bones, flesh, and crystal core, it was in the Human Emperor realm before it mutated. Its internal runes show it has a strong devouring ability. When it advanced to the Divine Emperor realm, some of its power came from heaven and earth, but most came from its prey.”
“Is it similar to Wilde’s ability?” asked Long Chen.
Wilde also gained strength by consuming flesh, but this ability was very rare. As far as Long Chen knew, Wilde was the only one with it.
Zi Yan replied, “I think so. Its devouring ability isn’t as strong as Wilde’s, but it can still cultivate on its own. That ability probably hasn’t fully developed yet. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have lost its mind from hunger and attacked us.”
Everyone stared at the withered lump on its head. It looked like a camel’s hump and was probably used to store energy.
Long Chen tossed it into the primal chaos space. When it was devoured by the black soil, Long Chen instantly felt an extreme reaction from the primal chaos space.
This time, Long Chen could clearly sense a slight change in the law power of the primal chaos space. The change was small and barely caused a ripple.
The night continued. The darkness intensified everyone’s negative emotions. No one knew how long it would last.
Many people didn’t have the mental strength to endure the darkness and had to stay indoors. At least the light inside gave them some comfort.
But Long Chen didn’t mind. The darkness was creating many powerful mutated lifeforms, and he actually hoped more would appear. They were very important to him.
A month went by. Long Chen spent his days with Zi Yan and Yue Xiaoqian. It was probably the most relaxed and happy time they’d had together since they met.
During this time, Zi Yan fully recovered. Once she was back to her best, she started focusing on healing the Heavenly Devil Zither.
The giant Heavenly Devil Zither floated above the Flame God Sect, almost filling the sky. Its seven strings quivered in silence. Zi Yan sat atop it, forming hand seals as faint divine light flowed through the seals and into the zither.
From her explanation, Long Chen learned that the Heavenly Devil Zither’s item spirit had given Zi Yan all of her Heavenly Devil essence, entrusting everything to her—even her life.
As a result, Zi Yan gave off powerful devil qi. She could be called this world’s purest “receptacle,” able to hold its purest law and Dao power.
The sacred Heavenly Devil Zither’s item-spirit had broken free from the Zither Sect’s control. She had become like a blank piece of paper, letting her new master, Zi Yan, shape her future.
In the battle against the sinister Heavenly Devil Zither, she had damaged her core, and her other half had invaded her with power. Now, Zi Yan was drawing pure energy from heaven and earth to purify the Heavenly Devil Zither's devil qi. It was a slow process, but the sacred zither was recovering well.
Even though the power of the Heavenly Daos was chaotic, Zi Yan could still extract some pure essence from it.
Time went on. Over three months, the Flame God Sect was attacked by mutated lifeforms seven times.
But those seven attacks were weaker than the previous two, and the formations easily killed the attackers.
Still, no one could relax. Instead, they grew more worried, since Zi Yan could tell from their roars that these lifeforms had only recently mutated.
Also, these mutated lifeforms were born close to the Flame God Sect. In other words, they hadn’t yet met the truly terrifying creatures, like the one that drove the dragon from its territory.
This meant the eruption of karmic luck was reaching its peak, and more mutated lifeforms were being born.
Because of this, it seemed the long night was about to end. This was the final wave, and once it passed, the new era would truly start. It was both exciting and nerve-wracking.
Another month passed. During this time, the Flame God Sect faced dozens of attacks, sometimes once or twice a day.
All these mutated lifeforms were killed and became fertilizer for Long Chen’s primal chaos space.
After devouring so many mutated corpses, the vegetation in the primal chaos space didn’t grow wildly. Instead, it went through a kind of transformation.
For example, the Fusang Trees and Moon Trees produced new runes and gained a bit of law power. Even though it was just a bit, it was still law power. Their aura changed as well.
On this day, the darkness finally began to fade. They could now see blurry shadows through the formations.
“Has the new era finally come?” Long Chen asked.
Everyone was thrilled by this change. They had never been so happy to see light.
Suddenly, a roar thundered through the darkness, and unmatched Sovereign power crashed down through the formations.
“Long Chen, face your death!"
