The area shook violently as soon as Li Nianfan drew the bowstring. Although there were no physical changes on him, in the eyes of Daji and the others, he had become the center of the world and it seemed as if he had become as large as a monolith that could hold up the sky! Not only that, a terrifying momentum was overflowing from his body, turning the sky pale.

  Cultivator Junjun and the others who were outside of the four-part architecture widened their eyes in shock when they sensed the terrifying aura flowing out of the four-part architecture.

  “This…this power is…”


  “It’s so strong! The four-part architecture is like an energy vortex, draining all the power in this world!”


  “What kind of ultimate spell is this?!”


  “What…what is this…”


  The Heavenly Palace people’s lips trembled as they stared at the four-part architecture, dumbfounded. They felt as if their skulls were about to explode. ‘Only the expert can summon a power like this! Could it be that he…?’


  In the next moment, an indescribably terrifying arrow cut across the sky, followed by a piercing thunderous sound that exploded in the void. Although it was fleeting, it still managed to make everyone’s hair stand on ends.

  They felt that they had seen the most terrifying power in the world, and they even had the urge to get down on their knees in worship. Cultivator Junjun suddenly gasped, his pupils shrank into a line, and there was horror in his voice as he said, “The arrow’s going in the direction of…of…the Origins Realm!”


  Meanwhile, the unknown gray mist had become denser and denser in the Origins Realm, with more places being covered by it. Although the unknown gray mist in some areas was not particularly strong, it still began to change the Origins Realm and many cultivators could not resist the temptation of the unknown gray mist and began to cultivate with it.

  “I want revenge! Please, give me power! I want to kill them all!” A cultivator knelt on the ground and looked up at the sky with a grim face. With him as the center, the gray mist in the void began to pour into his body.

  The mana in his body began to boil and a powerful momentum flowed out. His body began to tremble violently as if unable to bear the force. Gradually, his eyes turned milky-gray and white hair began to sprout from every inch of his skin.

  “Hahaha, now this is what I’m talking about! Revenge! Kill!” He roared like a wild beast before he disappeared into the distance with one step.

  “Women, I want women! With great power, I can do whatever I want. I’ll be the ultimate rule here! Hahaha…”


  “I need more power to become the number one sect! I’ll become the number one genius in history!”


  “The bottleneck that has plagued me for five thousand years has finally been broken. This gray mist is so wonderful! A beautiful era has come!”


  The entire Origins Realm had descended into chaos.

  In the Northern Star Region of the Origins Realm, there was a towering mountain shaped like a giant sword with its tip plunged into the ground. Wave after wave of terrifying, domineering, and unrivaled Sword Qi surrounded the entire mountain, making it so that even a Wisdom Elite would not dare to run rampant there.

  There was a sect on the top of the mountain called the Divine Sword Sect. At that moment, two old men were standing on the roof of the main hall. They were dressed in black and white respectively, and they were looking at the gray mist that was blanketing the sky with frowns on their faces.

  “No one from the Divine Sword Sect is allowed to absorb the gray mist, and those who violate the order will be killed!” said the old man in white authoritatively. His voice spread all over the mountain, echoing in the ears of every disciple.

  The disciples of the Divine Sword Sect responded immediately. “Yes, Sect Master!” The old man in black sighed and said worriedly, “The whole world has fallen under the Unknown’s spell. How long do you think it’d be before someone defies your order?”


  “Not more than three days,” said the old man in white in a low voice. He knew in his heart that within three days, there would be some disciples who would not be able to resist the temptation of the gray mist, and thus, would cultivate with it. Under normal circumstances, his order would naturally be obeyed, but now that the whole world was overturned, there was no guarantee that the disciples would listen to him.

  The man in black nodded and said, “The power of the gray mist can increase a cultivator’s power extremely quickly. Although everyone will eventually find that the gray mist would subtly change one’s temperament and magnify their negative emotions, one can’t help but to absorb the gray mist as well if their opponent surpasses them after absorbing the gray mist.”


  The gray mist would elevate the power of many people to a higher level. Those cultivators who did not absorb it would fall behind their peers, but if they did absorb it, they would experience a change in temperament. It was a dilemma of catastrophic proportions. Even if the cultivators managed to stay true to themselves, they would still have to face a bunch of terrifying monsters! “Besides, the gray mist itself can deceive people, and it can arouse greed in the depths of human nature. Even one of the supreme powers back then was not spared, so what hope does the average person have?” said the old man in white.

  The old man in black looked up at the sky and said worriedly, “The sky…has become gray.”


  It was not just him who noticed it.

  The blue sky above the entire Origins Realm had turned gray. Even the white clouds had been dyed gray. As a matter of fact, the shade of gray was getting darker and darker by the second! All these signified that the entire Origins Realm was going through an upheaval of mammoth proportions.

  “Sect Master, what should we do? This kind of catastrophe’s beyond our abilities to contain,” said the old man in black with a shaky voice.

  “We mustn’t absorb the gray mist!” said the old man in white firmly, his white robes flapping in the wind.

  He looked up at the sky and murmured, “The supreme powers of the past once prophesied that ‘He’ will return and wipe out the Unknown! Where is he now that the Unknown has reared its head again? Does he even exist?”


  Suddenly, a golden light beam penetrated the dark clouds, shining down from the sky like a sun. Then, a mysterious aura emerged between heaven and earth. In the blink of an eye, the golden light became brighter and brighter as it slashed the gray mist like a sword.

  The pupils of the old man in black shrank rapidly. He kept staring at the golden light and exclaimed, “Is…is that an arrow?!”


  ‘Where did the arrow come from? The sky was split in two before it even arrived!’


  The old man in white shivered and said excitedly, “This power might just be able to drive away the Unknown! Could the prophecy be true?”


  The golden arrow was flying across the entire Origins Realm at an astonishing speed which many found unbelievable because the Origins Realm was so big that it could be said to be boundless! However, that was exactly what the arrow did-traveling to every place in the Origins Realm with its seemingly endless power, all the while ripping the gray mist apart like it was nothing.

  Then, natural sunlight could be seen shining on the ground again…
