Chapter 140: The Reincarnated Villain Makes The Heroines Tearfully Beg For ForgivenessEarlier, everyone on the Lingxuan Continent had looked at the image within the light beam as a means of learning about God Taichu's past.
But now, it was the ascension platform and the massive changes that would occur on the Lingxuan continent that worried them.
The only thing that affected them all was this massive change.
The giant ascension platform in the sky was only vaguely visible at first within the light beam of resurrection under their focused gaze.
It became apparent over time that the ascension platform had become an almost eternal existence, transcending both illusion and reality.
Throughout the Lingxuan continent, this ascension platform was clearly visible.
The entire ascension platform radiated a soft glow whether day or night, like another sun suspended in midair.
A look of delight could be seen on the faces of cultivators within the light beam of resurrection upon seeing this ascension platform.
However, the cultivators outside the light beam of resurrection had increasingly ugly faces.
They had already predicted that the Lingxuan continent would undergo a significant transformation the day this ascension platform was completed.
In the end, the Ascension platform took several years to complete.
Upon completion, Taichu's chariot carried a war drum around the Lingxuan continent.
War drums reverberated across the entire ancient Lingxuan continent.
In addition to celebrating the completion of the Ascension Platform, this drum sound summoned the many powerful cultivators of the ancient era.
Immortal powerhouses on the Lingxuan continent flooded towards the ascension platform.
While they didn't participate in the ascension, they also wanted to see first-hand what the higher world looked like.
There were tens of thousands of strong cultivators with Immortal Realm cultivation base and above.
Gathered on top of the ascension platform they alone included dozens of Eternal Realm powerhouses.
Since so many peerless powerhouses were gathered together, the terrifying aura seemed to be able to pass through the light beam of resurrection to the other side, shaking the entire Lingxuan continent.
...
(On the Lingxuan continent)
"This is too terrifying. There were dozens more powerful cultivators in ancient times than there are today."
"It is evident from the number of Eternal Realm powerhouses. In our era, only the Heavenly Emperor ascended to the Eternal Realm."
"The Heavenly Emperor alone once blocked the countless Extra-terrestrial Devils within the Bronze Gate. These Extra-terrestrial Devils should not be a problem now that this ascension platform has gathered so many strong cultivators."
Seeing the figures of countless strong cultivators within the light beam of resurrection, many people actually trembled.
There was a suspicious look on many faces.
Those Extra-terrestrial Devils were indeed terrifying.
But even the Heavenly Emperor who hadn't ascended to the Eternal Realm could block these countless Extra-terrestrial Devils.
There were so many strong cultivators in the ancient era. How could they be destroyed by these Extra-terrestrial Devils?
As they stared suspiciously at the light beam, the image changed.
...
(Within the light beam of resurrection)
Lin Tian and Xiao Chan observed the ascension platform from a mountainside.
"Young Master, you're also an Immortal Realm powerhouse. Why don't you join in the fun, too? You might reap great rewards."
Xiao Chan looked up at the ascension platform above her head, her eyes shining with hope.
Lingxuan's strongest cultivators have flocked to this ascension platform more than most.
Xiao Chan felt that it was her fault that her young master did not go to the ascension platform.
With a frown, Lin Tian responded to Xiao Chan: "Xiao Chan, these kinds of ascension things aren't fun... moreover, I've become the powerhouse on the Lingxuan continent. If I ascend now, I'll become a weakling there, which is something I do not wish for. Only someone so stupid would do this."
Hearing Lin Tian say this, Xiao Chan chuckled.
It would not matter what decision her young master made, so long as he did not separate from her.
As they mumbled, a blinding light suddenly emitted from the ascension platform above them.
At this moment, the ascension platform was even more dazzling than the sun in the sky, catching nearly everyone's attention.
Everyone kept their eyes wide open and stared keenly at the Ascension Platform despite being stung by the light emitted from it.
Click!
At this moment, the sky above the ascension platform suddenly cracked open with a sound similar to thunder.
As if a mirror had shattered, this rift grew rapidly.
It became a huge rift in an instant, running across the Lingxuan continent like a dark abyss.
"The portal to the higher world has opened."
The moment they saw the rift in the sky, countless cultivators let out surprised sounds as they sensed a unique Qi emanating from it.
It was an ancient, desolate, and strange existence.
When weak cultivators felt this Qi, they also experienced a sense of worship.
At this moment, even ordinary cultivators from the ancient era were amazed, let alone the countless cultivators on the ascension platform.
Some of them rushed directly towards this huge rift above their heads.
As an Immortal Realm powerhouse was about to rush through the rift and enter the higher world on the other side of the rift, an eye appeared.
This eye was immense.
There was actually only a portion of this eye visible through the rift that covered the entire Lingxuan continent.
It felt as if someone was peering through the doorway.
That rift in the sky was this doorway.
"It must be a life form from the higher world."
Someone shouted out in surprise from the ascension platform.
They had sensed a terrifying aura emanating from this huge eye outside.
Among the cultivators on the ascension platform were Eternal Realm powerhouses.
As they looked at this immense and incomparable eye above their heads, even these Eternal Realm powerhouses felt tremors in the depths of their souls.
This kind of terrifying existence was exactly in line with their minds.
It must be a powerful life form from a higher plane.
However, their happiness was short-lived.
The eye in the rift in the sky suddenly disappeared and in its place, there was an open mouth.
An enormous vortex formed inside its mouth and was headed towards the Lingxuan continent.
Many cultivators on the ascension platform closest to the vortex were also immediately swept away.
Creak! Creak!
From within the rift in the sky came an ear-piercing chewing sound.
People from the ancient era understood where the many cultivators on the ascension platform had gone.
In one bite, this terrifying existence above ate them all including those Eternal Realm powerhouses.
Seeing an image like this caused many ancient cultivators to freeze for a moment, followed by overwhelming fear.
Originally, the Ascension Platform was the means of accessing the higher realms.
Now, it was the thing they dreaded most.
There were many strong cultivators on the Ascension Platform who were devoured by the terrifying existence inside that rift in one bite!
So long as it entered the Lingxuan continent, devouring other beings would not pose a problem.
In the outer world, two tentacle-like existences peered into Lingxuan, wanting to widen the rift.
However, it was evidently not so easy to open this kind of spatial rift from the outside.
Despite its desperate attempts, this terrifying existence was unable to widen the rift.
After a while, it seemed to have suddenly changed its mind.
Its mouth returned to the rift and blew gently at the Lingxuan Continent.
As soon as the wind blew out, countless Extraterrestrial Devils emitting a terrifying aura rushed toward the ancient Lingxuan continent.
Their number was ten thousand times more than those that the Heavenly Emperor had blocked before.
Extra-terrestrial Devils swarmed everywhere inside the huge rift that spanned the entire Lingxuan continent.
The Extra-terrestrial Devils were densely packed like ants, making people's scalps tingle.
...
(On the Lingxuan continent)
When the cultivators looked at the scene within the light beam of resurrection over their heads, they were stunned.
Their faces were frozen at this moment.
These images were too shocking.
When the magnificent ascension platform opened up the higher world, the crowd was stunned.
Even though only its eyes and mouth were revealed, its terrifying form was enough to stun everyone after it appeared.
"There is actually such a terrifying existence lurking outside of the Lingxuan continent."
"It blew out those Extra-terrestrial Devils in one breath."
"Won't the Lingxuan continent be completely destroyed if this terrifying existence tears the world membrane and penetrates it?"
Immediately after a short period of silence, many cultivators began whispering and murmuring.
They hadn't heard of these secret stories from the ancient era before.
...
Seeing the scene within the light beam of resurrection, even Su Qingyi could not help but tremble.
While she had tried to forget the memories of that year, it was clear that these things could not simply be set aside and forgotten.
"Elder Sister, Is this why the Traces of Heaven appeared?"
At this moment, the few ancient goddesses behind Su Qingyi also had strange looks in their eyes.
This terrifying existence was called the Trace of Heaven.
They had seen it many times, but this was the first time they had seen the reason for the birth of the Trace of Heaven.
They first believed the Trace of Heaven was caused by Extraterrestrial Devils, unaware that it was actually ancient era cultivators who did the damage.
The Lingxuan Continent had suffered endlessly ever since because of this Trace of Heaven.
This only came to an end when the Heavenly Emperor completely shut it down.
There had been traces of heaven on the Lingxuan continent for hundreds of millions of years.
Su Qingyi's body trembled slightly and she nodded: "That's right, this is why the Trace of Heaven appeared... My Lord will soon seal the Trace of Heaven."
With each word she spoke, Su Qingyi's voice became smaller and smaller.
Her eyes were filled with anticipation, however.
Looking back at Lin Feng, as well as the Heavenly Emperor located within the light beam of resurrection, Su Qingyi couldn't help but mumble to herself: "Once all this is over, young master will be back."
