Chapter 397: Chapter 99: The Arrival of the Age of the Immortals
Translator: 549690339
At the edge of the Forbidden Devil Ridge, on top of a towering mountain that reached the clouds, a white-haired man stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the Heavenly Devil Palace battlefield below from afar.
He was a charming and handsome man with an odd appearance, his long white hair fluttering in the wind, and his black wings spread open.
He looked calm and composed.
He was the Lord of the Sacred Crows, the Crow Immortal.
The Crow Immortal had an elegant demeanor and refined manners. He didn’t come off as a brutal, unreasonable evil god; instead, he carried an air of nobility with every move he made.
He belonged to this world, but he didn’t disturb the order of Heaven and Earth. Thus, he wasn’t rejected by the Heavenly Power.
Through his calculations, he foresaw what would happen here, and so he arrived on time to watch the show.
Although the Crow Immortal had never fought against the Devil Lord, he had a basic understanding of him.
He identified himself as an Ancient God.
The Devil Lord was one of the 300 disciples of a Heavenly Devil from the Heavenly Devil World, who appeared thousands of years ago.
The Heavenly Devil emerged, transforming the Heavenly Devil World and causing the supreme era of the evil way across the heavens.
It was a chaotic age where no one in the evil way could rival him.
Everyone chose to avoid him when they saw him.
However, the Heavenly Devil ultimately turned into yellow soil.
His 300 disciples either died or fled.
Very few survived, similar to the Devil Lord, who became the ruler of the Heavenly Devil World.
He controlled the vast demonic sea and countless demonic generals.
Although the Holy Crow Sect had no relation with the Immortal World, many of the Crow Immortal’s followers came from this world. As the place of perpetuation, the Crow Immortal couldn’t stay out of it.
Seeing the appearance of the reincarnation treasured mirror, an immortal tool, a trace of surprise flashed in the Crow Immortal’s eyes as he said:
“A thousand years ago, the three great ancestral immortal tools of the Ancient Times appeared in the world. During that battle, immortals from the six worlds participated, and many of the Heavenly Palace’s immortal kings took action to slaughter the abyss…]]>
In the end, they were outsmarted by a Superior Immortal who picked up the spoils, and the immortal tool has been missing ever since, eventually falling into the hands of Ancestor Yan Zu.”
“This mirror is an inheritance treasure of the Immortal Emperor. It has the power to break the boundaries of the world, control the six paths of reincarnation, and reverse the universe. I never thought that this immortal tool would still be in the hands of Yan Zu’s bloodline.”
“For the Devil Lord, this thing can be considered his nemesis and the source of his inner shadow.”
A thousand years ago, the Crow Immortal participated in the battle of the heavens. He watched from afar as the gods of the Heavenly Palace fought fiercely for the ancestral immortal tool against the abyss.
That battle was too intense, leaving many fallen supreme immortals, and the reincarnation treasured mirror was severely damaged, nearly destroyed. Though it was preserved, it remained dormant until now.
Now it has finally awakened once again.
As it actively dragged Zhao Huai into its inner space and pounced on the Devil Lord, it seemed like an instinct of the ancestral weapon, a continuation of the 800-year battle between the Devil Lord and Ancestor Yan Zu.
This immortal tool had been in the hands of Ancestor Yan Zu for too long.
After encountering the Devil Lord, it had become incredibly sensitive.
The Crow Immortal secretly speculated that the spirit of the reincarnation treasured mirror sensed the Devil Lord’s aura, showing signs of awakening, which led to this series of changes.
As an ancient treasure, the reincarnation treasured mirror undoubtedly stood at the top of the pyramid of immortal tools.
Legend has it that it could suppress time, remake the cycle of reincarnation, and change the course of destiny in the hands of the Immortal Emperor.
With the Devil Lord’s current state, he would be in great trouble once entangled by the reincarnation treasured mirror.
Of course, if the Devil Lord figured out a way to counter the reincarnation treasured mirror, perhaps he could, in turn, seize it and use it for himself.
Now it depends on how much pressure the Eternal Taoist Temple Master can exert on the Devil Lord.
“This is getting more and more interesting!”
A smile appeared on the Crow Immortal’s face, his anticipation growing….
Under the pull of the Reincarnation Treasured Mirror’s power, Zhao Huai entered the Yunxu Small World.
But what he encountered was an extremely peculiar place.
It was not the small house he had built, nor were there green waters and mountains.
The little demons he had put in there were also absent.
Instead, he found himself in an unfamiliar cave.
Zhao Huai had possessed the Reincarnation Treasured Mirror for quite some time, often using it for cultivation, but he was unaware that such a unique place existed inside it.
As his gaze swept around, Zhao Huai found that everything in this space appeared extremely primitive and ancient. In one corner, there were a few rudimentary stone tools such as jars, knives, and axes, all of which were rough in shape and seemed irregular.
Various symbols and murals were carved into the cave walls.
The murals depicted many small beings worshipping a giant figure radiating light.
In the center of the cave, there was an extinguished bonfire surrounded by scattered animal bones, most of which were already decayed.
Zhao Huai couldn’t help but feel an illusion that he had crossed time and space, entering an ancient human race dwelling.
“The Reincarnation Treasured Mirror emerged at the birth of Heaven and Earth and was inherited from the Ancient Times. Everything here should be a true reflection of that era,” Zhao Huai speculated in his heart.
However, he didn’t understand why the Reincarnation Treasured Mirror had drawn him into its inner space at this moment. What was its purpose?
Zhao Huai had carefully sensed that without any power activation, the Reincarnation Treasured Mirror was extremely silent inside, with no trace of power fluctuations and seemingly no spirit presence.
According to what the Moon God had said, the Reincarnation Treasured Mirror, if intact, should be different. It should burst with a terrifying force that could disrupt the laws of a Heaven and Earth.
Rationally speaking, a top-tier immortal tool like this should have a spirit.
The reason he couldn’t sense it was either the spirit had left the body, or it was in a deep sleep and had self-sealed.
So Zhao Huai guessed that it was likely that the Reincarnation Treasured Mirror had been damaged during a great battle in the Middle Ages and entered a sleeping state.
“Whooosh.”
Just as Zhao Huai felt at a loss, the rough stone walls suddenly began to change.
Countless dazzling marks of light, like fireflies, appeared and flew out. The surrounding stone walls instantly became smooth and jade-like, reflecting the outside scene completely.
At this moment, the Reincarnation Treasured Mirror was madly devouring the rolling river of blood condensed by the Devil Lord’s formation.
Despite bountiful evil power from fallen stars continuously pouring in, the sinister ancient formation was still heavily suppressed, beginning to show signs of being crushed.
The Reincarnation Treasured Mirror was suppressing this part of Heaven and Earth.
At the same time, it was also opening a passage between Heaven and Earth!
Assisted by the Reincarnation Treasured Mirror, the Eternal Taoist Temple Master’s pressure reduced drastically, gradually turning defense into offense.
With a light flick of the dust whisk, blue beams of light fell, transforming into individual chess pieces.
Each piece had a different shape – some resembled horses and elephants, some had iron armor like humans, while others held ceremonial tablets, appearing like ancient sages.
Every chess piece could be regarded as a gigantic primordial spirit.
The shadows cast by these chess pieces were huge beings.
They all launched an attack towards the Devil Lord’s direction.
Upon seeing the Reincarnation Treasured Mirror’s display of power, the Devil Lord’s eyes became dark and gloomy, and his long hair scattered, as if a demon had descended.
