Darkness is Coming

Chapter 604: The Arrival of Darkness

Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, since the appearance of some passages, have been undergoing astonishing changes, worsening day by day!

Especially in the Three Thousand Provinces, when three divine rainbows appeared in the Universe, coming from outside the domain, like an arch connecting this land.

Afterward, it spread, surprisingly merging from the Void Realm into the Spirit Realm.

Many people were surprised, watching this scene. What kind of change was this?

At the same time, in a certain part of the Three Thousand Provinces, nine Dragons pulled an ancient coffin, carrying Chaos and immortal fire, traversing the sky.

"That is… the Three-Life Bronze Coffin!" Lin Fan was shocked. He had just returned to the Upper Realm from the Eight Regions when he witnessed this scene.

Regarding this coffin, there have always been rumors about it in the world. Although Lin Fan had never truly seen it, he recognized it at a glance.

Furthermore, when he learned about the changes that had occurred in the days since he left, he was even more astonished and deeply shaken.

"This is bad. The world is changing, and a great calamity is coming!" Lin Fan frowned, looking towards a certain direction.

With a whoosh, he didn't hesitate and chased after the nine Dragons pulling the coffin, feeling that something major had happened and he needed to investigate.

Because, inside the bronze coffin, cluster after cluster of light emerged, some humanoid, some beast-like, and even some immortal birds.

They all vibrated together, emerging from the ancient coffin, as if with a sense of determination, flying towards a certain direction.

"The battle souls left over from the Immortal Ancient era have all appeared today!" Lin Fan's pupils suddenly constricted, feeling quite unsettled.

One must know that among those figures were the Great Scarlet Heavenly Lord, the Qingyu Heavenly Lord, and others, all with terrifying backgrounds, being Immortals from the previous epoch.

The most outstanding among them were even Immortal Kings!

They should have perished long ago, dying in the great war with the foreign lands. Now they reappeared; was this Heaven-Defying?

However, Lin Fan observed carefully and could still see that these people were all dead, not living beings, but more like heroic spirits.

"Woof…"

Suddenly, during Lin Fan's pursuit, he passed by an ancient place, and a dog's bark sounded, making him feel somewhat familiar.

Looking over, on a cliff, there was a Great Black Dog, its fur gleaming with dark light, its teeth sharp, extremely conspicuous.

Besides it, there was also an old White Turtle with a snow-white shell, and a rosy-cheeked little fatty.

"Great Black Dog, Cao Yusheng!" Lin Fan was stunned, recognizing them clearly.

At the same time, the Great Black Dog sensed something, looked up, and said, "Who is it? Which bastard is talking about this King?"

"Dead dog, you're getting more and more arrogant."

Lin Fan descended from the sky, exuding an immortal aura, accompanied by countless auspicious rays, making people unable to help but fall into a certain Dao charm upon seeing him.

"It's you! Long time no see, we meet again." The Great Black Dog was overly familiar, sidling up to him, very enthusiastic.

Times were different now. Lin Fan glanced at the fawning dog, speechless for a moment. Its change of expression was truly fast.

Fortunately, he understood the nature of this dead dog and couldn't be bothered to argue with it.

"Holy Emperor, please save my master!" Cao Yusheng bowed, his eyes red, looking very sad.

Lin Fan nodded and asked, "What happened?"

"You've come at just the right time. The passage the old fool was guarding has undergone an anomaly, and darkness will open a corner because of it; it needs to be suppressed!"

The Great Black Dog replied, showing a rare solemn expression, and raised a dog paw, pointing at the motionless Great White Turtle beside it.

This was Cao Yusheng's master, of immense origin, a creature left over from the previous epoch, a True Immortal at its peak.

However, after the Immortal Ancient war, its Physical Body was ruined, entangled with the rules of many enemies, leaving it with no fighting power.

Even so, the old turtle still had one strength: it was psychic and could deduce heavenly secrets, famous throughout the world!

However, what made it successful also caused its downfall. Its current state was related to constantly leaking secrets of future predictions.

Lin Fan glanced at the White Turtle and asked, "Where is its Divine Soul?"

"It followed the Immortal Ancient heroic spirits in the nine Dragons pulling the coffin to suppress the passage. It's just that this trip, I'm afraid…" The Great Black Dog sighed.

In this epoch, there were not many creatures in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths that could be of the same era as it, and the White Turtle was one of them.

However, with the arrival of darkness this time, the people it once knew were truly all going to perish, never to be seen again.

Therefore, even the usually boisterous Great Black Dog was not in high spirits now, filled with memories and emotion.

Hearing this, Lin Fan felt uneasy. There were some things he still wanted to prevent. He said, "Where is that passage? Take me to see it!"

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, one person and one dog soared into the sky, flying towards a certain place. But before Lin Fan left, he pointed back with a finger.

A ray of light flew out and entered Cao Yusheng's glabella, immediately causing him to tremble and fall into an Epiphany. A grand Dao scripture manifested in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Formation Pulse Book!" The little fatty was first surprised, then delighted.

Because this was a grand Dao scripture about Cultivating Formations and earth veins, encompassing everything, extremely suitable for him.

And a voice came to his ear.

"The Longevity Medicine your master deposited in the Reincarnation Land was obtained by me. This scripture is given to you as compensation."

"Thank you, Holy Emperor!" Cao Yusheng chuckled, bowing to the figure that had vanished into the sky in an instant… On the other side, Lin Fan and the Great Black Dog arrived at the passage. What was different was that this entrance was not in the mortal world, but in the Spirit Realm.

One could see divine rainbows traversing the Universe, whether from the Nine Heavens or the Ten Earths, all merging into the Three Thousand Provinces.

However, in the end, they poured into the Spirit Realm, causing that spiritual kingdom to churn and undergo drastic changes.

"Dog, how much do you know?" Lin Fan asked, immortal light flowing in his eyes, feeling that this was somewhat similar to the Xiling Realm.

On the other side of the passage, darkness was imprisoned, and ill omens were suppressed. But what was different was that the Seal here was about to break.

"I died early in the Immortal Ancient war, so I don't know some things too clearly. I only know that during the war between the two realms, the foreign lands also invited helpers."

"But from what I learned from the old turtle, although those beings were eventually suppressed, a substance they carried was the most terrifying."

"Once a creature was contaminated, its Divine Soul would disappear, its blood would turn black, and it would be difficult to remove. Ultimately, the Immortals had no choice but to Seal it."

The Great Black Dog was solemn, its bright eyes staring at the cracking portal ahead, very wary.

One person and one dog did not go deep, observing and examining from outside.

Previously, Lin Fan did not know the origin of the Spirit Realm and the Void God Realm. Now, seeing it, it was clearly constructed by immortal means.

At the same time, they saw some figures in the Spirit Realm, suppressing that passage—they were the heroic spirits from the bronze coffin.

"Old White Turtle!"

The Great Black Dog cried out softly, seeing Cao Yusheng's master's Primordial Spirit among them, together with the battle souls, without a Physical Body.

Lin Fan also saw it, but judging from the situation, their power was limited, and the outlook was not optimistic.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, on the crystalline barrier of the portal, as the divine rainbows rushed in, a crack broke open, unable to withstand it any longer.

Immediately, an anomaly descended. Wisps of black mist permeated from the crack, cold and eerie, carrying an ominous aura.

"Ah…"

When a creature passed by there and touched a wisp of black mist, it let out a tragic, extremely shrill scream.

"Not good, the Seal is broken. At the beginning of darkness, they ultimately couldn't hold it back!" The Great Black Dog exclaimed.
