Dark clouds converged, and the heavens and earth seemed to split open. Above the endless black clouds, a funnel-like vortex seemed to absorb everything.
Even the people of Kyoto had never witnessed such a spectacular sight. Whether they were office workers hurrying along the streets or geisha enticing customers in the bustling city, all raised their heads to gaze upon the awe-inspiring spectacle in the sky.
What a magnificent and sacred scene it was, with countless dark clouds bowing to the vortex like subjects. Thunder dragons from all directions heeded its call, converging from every direction into the endless darkness.
The sound of explosions reverberated throughout the entire overseas nation, and even neighboring countries felt the tremors.
Everyone tried their best to see the situation in the sky clearly, and countless scientists attempted to analyze the logic behind this magnificent phenomenon.
How did it form? How did it appear? Why would such a mysterious sight exist in the world, and what exactly was hidden within the vortex where the dark clouds converged?
"Our satellites can't clearly see what's inside."
"It's being interfered with by unknown electromagnetic waves. The center of the vortex seems to have very strong radiation."
Across the sea, in an astronomical observatory, countless fair-skinned, blonde-haired people were busy. Each of them looked serious, staring intently at the screens in front of them. However, to their surprise, no matter how advanced the satellites were, they could not clearly capture the scene within the vortex.
They had seen scenes of typhoons converging before, but never a proto-eye of the storm of this scale.
It was like an eye, sucking in all the surrounding clouds. Its influence had already touched the entire overseas nation and even showed signs of extending further.
"What the hell is that thing? My God!"
"We can only see pitch black inside the eye of the storm… Wait! What is this?!"
The staff member's exclamation caused countless people to rush over to observe. They all stared at the infinitely magnified atmospheric vortex diagram on the screen, their eyes filled with astonishment.
In the diagram, a creature resembling a long snake could be faintly seen coiling within the blurry darkness. Its form was revealed under the lightning, and it appeared to be enormous.
"Impossible! How could such a creature live in a place like this?!"
"My God! If it's real, it's probably over ten thousand meters long! It's hard to imagine that such a huge creature exists in the world!"
"God bless us, this must be a hallucination."
The researchers frantically searched through all the evidence, trying to find more clues. Some began to believe in gods and prayed in their seats. Others looked serious and made phone calls, saying something. In any case, the various expressions in this astronomical observatory were just a glimpse of the world's reaction.
In Cloud City, Jiang Zhi, who was eating dessert, raised her head. She looked in the direction of the overseas nation in astonishment, and the dessert in her hand lost its appeal.
"Did you feel it?" Jiang Zhi murmured.
"That's… such a strong demonic aura!" Even Jiang Ming, a former Life Fire cultivator, couldn't help but exclaim at the sight. His hair stood on end, seemingly afraid of this power.
"So scary, so scary! That's… that's the aura of Lord Chiyao!" Sitting next to the two, White Bone, wearing a windbreaker and a hood, made a cracking sound. The ghostly fire in its eyes flickered, trembling with fear at the powerful demonic aura.
"We're doomed, we're doomed. Lord Chiyao is coming to settle the score with us! What should we do! Where should we hide!" Bai Jingjing looked at Jiang Zhi and Jiang Ming in a panic.
The reason the three of them gathered together this time was to complete a mysterious mission. That demon with only two hundred years of cultivation had caused them a lot of trouble, and the three of them barely managed to subdue it together.
Therefore, after the mission was completed, Jiang Zhi decided to invite them to eat sweets. This was also her favorite thing in this world.
"If Chiyao really appears in this world, then it's troublesome," Jiang Zhi said, taking a deep breath to calm her emotions.
"If it's really Chiyao, we can't possibly win against her," Jiang Ming shook his head and sighed.
He was a cultivator who participated in the Pleasure Quarter battle, so he naturally knew Chiyao's power. Back then, Chiyao fought against her four guardians and a group of Life Fire cultivators, some of whom had even reached the Dao Palace realm.
But even so, they didn't gain the upper hand in that battle. Chiyao was able to block the magical artifacts of their group of cultivators with just her physical body.
If that golden-armored divine being hadn't appeared later, they might not have been the ones to win.
Dozens of Life Fire cultivators and over a hundred Lighting Realm cultivators formed a formation to bind Chiyao. Only then could the direct descendants of the Tai Shen Palace fight with their lives to stabilize the situation. This kind of formation is impossible to appear in this world. So if Chiyao really appears, they can only stare blankly.
"There's also him," Jiang Zhi said silently. "If he's willing, maybe there's no problem."
"Him?" Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, then reacted. He nodded, agreeing with Jiang Zhi's view. "What you said is indeed correct. If he's willing to take action, then there really is no problem."
The "him" in their words converged to one person, and that person was standing at an excellent vantage point, taking pictures with a camera.
"What a magnificent sight," Jiang Wen smiled.
"Hmph, it's just some scare tactics. If I wanted to, I could be even more powerful than her," Bai Jing snorted. She licked her paw and then looked at Jiang Wen. "So, you're not planning to take action for now?"
"Wait a little longer," Jiang Wen said.
"Wait for what? Are you waiting for Chiyao's five viscera to converge?" Bai Jing asked, puzzled. "If Chiyao's five viscera converge into one body, even if she doesn't have the strength of an almost-demon king, she can be comparable to a peerless great demon. Her supernatural power of Yin and Yang Light is too strange, even I can't defeat it. If you let her continue like this, devouring the hundreds of millions of people in this city, I'm afraid she will instantly step into the realm of a demon king."
"Don't worry, she can't swallow them," Jiang Wen said calmly. "I just want her to give the world a warning. Although this warning will come at a price, the price is worth it."
"Do you know what? I've been investigating something these past few days."
"What is it?" Bai Jing asked curiously.
"It's to see if the so-called passage has been closed," Jiang Wen sighed. "Unfortunately, although the passage has become narrower, it hasn't been closed. This means that in the empty chaos, those things that were exiled for various reasons may appear here."
Jiang Wen looked at the vortex that had already formed and couldn't help but sigh: "Is Chiyao really important? She's not important. Over the long years, how many strange things exist in the chaotic void, we don't know."
"Born in sorrow and dying in joy, being prepared is the right way," Jiang Wen shook his head and looked at the sky again.
Jiang Wen could only comfort himself in his heart, those powerful beings who were exiled couldn't see those passages because they had become narrow. Or, after a long period of time, those things had already died.
But in any case, let the world see the power first.
