Chapter 1068 - 975: Pale Scroll
The world was in turmoil!
People everywhere sensed the approach of a great destruction, a devastating calamity, a terrifying disaster unstoppable by any means.
Whether they were Sect Gate Openers or merely the weakest of Cultivators, they all felt the same in that moment.
Great disaster was upon them, with only death awaiting.
In front of the True Ancestor, all were but ants.
The masses trembled.
Fogbreak City.
The Big Black Dog had already run to Zi Ling’s side, and seeing this scene now, urgency filled its canine eyes.
Primarily because this True Ancestor could cause incredibly terrifying destruction to the True Ancestor World.
It was well known that even in the Grey Mist Sea, the True Ancestor stood on mysterious ground and would not stay directly within the Grey Mist Sea.
Because even the Grey Mist Sea could not bear the power of the True Ancestor, which could easily raze heaven and earth.
The True Ancestor, with all powers blazing, this realm… couldn’t withstand it.
“All kinds of power infused into your body, ‘Chaos Indestructible Body’… Heh, if Chaos itself has been obliterated, how could you exist?”
The Grey Mist Sea True Ancestor stared at the Big Black Dog, his expression indifferent.
Terrifying layers of power descended in an instant!
Wherever they reached, space-time turned into black holes and ceased to exist.
“Woof… Do you really think you can kill this Emperor?”
The Big Black Dog gritted its teeth, preparing to fight desperately!
But, at that moment.
By its side.
Zi Ling suddenly took out the Phoenix Feather Pen.
She walked to the side of the Supreme Evil Corpse Painter and placed the Phoenix Feather Pen into the Painter’s hands.
Then, she whispered,
“Let’s draw together.”
“Bring out what you once forgot, the most precious images in your heart, and let them reappear.”
She gently held the Painter’s hand.
In this moment, both of them held the pen at the same time!
The Supreme Evil Corpse Painter, with a wooden expression, followed Zi Ling’s lead, his hand moving with hers.
With the Phoenix Feather Pen, the Pale Scroll suddenly received a stroke.
Such a simple stroke on the Pale Scroll, just a beautiful curve.
But, the moment this stroke was made!
Boom!
The Pale Scroll erupted with billions of layers of terrifying energies instantaneously.
With one stroke, everything between heaven and earth seemed to fall into silence!
The roar of the Heavenly Dao suddenly ceased, and the calamities instantly froze!
In the sky, the Xuanhuang Qi in chaos instantly stilled; on the land, volcanoes spewing thousands of meters high stopped as lava hung in the air, unable to fall; in the ocean, the forming tsunami turned into a massive glacier…
All because of this single stroke on the Pale Scroll.
In front of Fogbreak City, the Temporal Hall Master and others were suddenly shocked.
“What… What’s happening?!”
“How do I feel… that the entire world is being affected by this Pale Scroll?!”
Lu Ba and the others were stunned.
“The True Ancestor…”
The Temporal Hall Master also hurriedly looked towards the avatar of the True Ancestor.
But at this moment, the True Ancestor’s eyes suddenly erupted with a very solemn light.
He fixed his gaze on the Pale Scroll.
“Could it be… the scene from the Pale Scroll is reappearing?!”
“Impossible! Impossible…”
He murmured, his voice trembling as if in fear.
Feeling this fear, the Temporal Hall Master and the rest suddenly felt a surge of emotion in their hearts.
They turned their heads swiftly, firmly fixing their gaze on Zi Ling and the Supreme Evil Corpse Painter.
What on earth could it be?
That even the True Ancestor was afraid?
Even the Big Black Dog was now focusing on the Pale Scroll, its dog eyes filled with gravity.
“What is… this?”
Ancestor Murong Wanci’s eyes also flashed with astonishment, looking at the Pale Scroll with great anticipation.
At this moment.
With a stroke made, the Painter Venerable’s empty eyes suddenly flickered with clarity, as if joyous.
She looked somewhat dazedly at the arc on the Pale Scroll with a clear silly smile on her lips.
And on Zi Ling’s forehead, sweat had begun to appear.
Just one stroke, and she already felt it was extremely difficult.
But now, her mind devoid of any distractions, focused on one image.
She gripped the Painter’s pen tightly, then… made the second stroke.
The second stroke, still, was a perfect curve.
The two curves connected.
They appeared… like the contours of a face!
The second stroke fell at that instant.
Boom!
Suddenly, as if a supremely terrifying aura spread across the heavens.
In a moment, the chaotic Xuanhuang Qi in the sky returned to its rightful place, the sky became remarkably clear, the clouds spanning ten thousand li.
On the land, the erupting volcanic lava slowly descended, flowing like water, returning to the depths below.
In the midst of the ocean, the towering tsunami waves returned to the sea’s surface, fishes and shrimp surged forth from the tsunami!
The second stroke, catastrophe entirely vanished!
Under the vast sky, all beings felt it.
“Has the disaster passed?!”
“We survived beneath the volcano… It’s all over now!”
“The vast sky is clear again, this is wonderful…”
Billions of beings were crying out in joy.
In front of Fogbreak City, the Temporal Hall Master and others had expressions of disbelief written all over their faces.
The Pale Scroll actually possessed such terrifying power?
The apocalyptic scenes caused by the True Ancestor simply vanished due to two strokes on the scroll?
“What exactly are they… painting?!”
The voice of the Temporal Hall Master also trembled.
And the True Ancestor, at this moment, was even more out of sorts, looking at the Pale Scroll as though in a daze,
“Impossible… absolutely impossible… They will fail, they can’t portray it, absolutely can’t portray it!”
Subconsciously, his fists tightened, his heart leapt to his throat, and he was sweating profusely from the tension!
And at this moment.
Zi Ling and Ancestor Hua’s hands tightly clasped, they began the third stroke.
The third stroke, a brief curve was drawn.
The fourth stroke followed, symmetrical to the third, just like a pair of… eyebrows.
At that moment, the Sky Vault underwent a great change.
Above the Universe of the True Ancestor World, Xuanhuang Qi intertwined and fused, the Xuan Qi surged tremendously, evolving countless great dao, the yellow breath mysterious, revealing endless waves.
The Xuanhuang Qi of the True Ancestor World was actually evolving, the Heavenly Dao of the sky was ascending to an unimaginable state, with countless layers of Qi plummeting down.
“This isn’t right…”
The Temporal Hall Master exclaimed,
“This is the scene of ‘Ascension,’ a legend states that if an astoundingly eternal being appears in the world, it can cause its sky to… ascend with it, rising in status!”
Lu Ba and other dominators’ expressions drastically changed.
This kind of scene was only legend even in the Grey Mist Sea…
Moreover, they truly felt that the Heavenly Dao of the True Ancestor World was at this moment gathering and expanding, its strength skyrocketing.
Under this Sky Vault, they all felt a sense of oppression.
This feeling, they had never experienced before, even the Temporal Hall Master could stop Tian Fa with a move!
If Tian Fa appeared now… it would likely be able to execute dominators!
“Wrong, this realm doesn’t have such a level of beings at all… Is this because of their painting?!”
At the same time, they realized and looked towards the Pale Scroll, their eyes filled with even more terror.
The True Ancestor’s legal body, at this moment, the corner of her mouth twitching, eyelids jumping, hands and feet trembling!
…
Before the Pale Scroll.
Ancestor Hua’s hollow gaze saw the appearance of those eyebrows and joy suddenly burst forth in her eyes!
Zi Ling, holding her hand, continued painting.
The brush fell.
A high-bridged nose.
Upon the lands of the True Ancestor World.
The collapsed mountain ranges, just like times reversing, suddenly reconvened, the earth’s fissures abruptly closed, the volcanic mouth completely sealed…
The Earth’s vitality surged, like a Divine Dragon running across the plains, the land’s status also elevated!
This was… the scene of Earth Transformation!
Ascension, Earth Transformation, both were phenomena of the same tier.
Following that, Zi Ling guided Ancestor Hua to draw the faint lips.
Between heaven and earth, as if endless creation was breathing, layers of Spiritual Energy, like rolling fog, swept over the entire True Ancestor World!
Suddenly, beneath a mountain range, the Sect Gate that was smashed to death just before, corpses opened their eyes again, their wounds all healed, standing up, one by one in shock.
“We, haven’t died?”
“This isn’t right, how did my Cultivation Level just break through?”
“Was I just dreaming? Did I undergo tribulation?”
This Sect Gate, everyone exclaimed.
In a forest, the fallen giant trees and broken leaves, revived once more with vigor, lush and even more glorious than before!
Above the sea, many fishes and shrimp that had died due to the tsunami floated on the surface, but now they suddenly jumped, returning to the ocean…
…
In front of Fogbreak City.
The sketch depicted on the Pale Scroll had begun showing its basic form.
Two strokes outlined the face.
Two strokes formed both eyebrows.
One stroke portrayed the nose.
One stroke, the lips appeared.
This… was a sketch of a human face.
Altogether, just six strokes.
Yet everything between heaven and earth had been completely changed by them!
The human face, just missing eyes.
One could vaguely see, the face was calm, scholarly, indifferent, as if possessing a composure that saw through everything, as if there was a serene courage that feared not eternity.
“…It’s him…”
It was at this moment, Supreme Evil Corpse Painter suddenly spoke in a low voice.
In her eyes, the hollowness and confusion had completely disappeared, as ripples surfaced, her eyes filled with tears!
…
Goodnight.
