Chapter 486: Hint Of Black In The Spacetime Rift (1)

Wu Yuan's soul essence was bathed in an endless crimson glow.

Previously entranced by the white bone, Wu Yuan snapped back to reality in an instant.

This? What happened to the black pagoda? Wu Yuan was completely stunned.

He sensed that the black pagoda was behaving abnormally. However, it was different from the time he faced the death throes of the worm devil. Back then, the stone pillar at the top of the black pagoda had absorbed the blood-red mist before proceeding to protect his soul.

But this time, the swirling blood mist around the black pagoda showed no signs of disturbance. The stone pillar remained still, as if nothing had ever happened.

It was only when Wu Yuan was about to touch the white bone that the black pagoda seemed to sense something and reacted autonomously, sort of like a stress response.

Moreover, these rays of light? Wu Yuan carefully sensed them, feeling the terrifying power contained in the glow.

It was different from the light produced by the blood mist. Instead, it seemed more like a sort of will, a power that originated from the black pagoda.

"Danger! Extreme danger! Stay away!" Waves of intangible fluctuations were transmitted from the black pagoda to Wu Yuan.

The message was simple, but the implications were serious.

Danger? Isn't this white bone an opportunity? How can it be dangerous? Is this a warning from the black pagoda? Wu Yuan was taken aback, and a trace of confusion flashed through his mind.

But when Wu Yuan's gaze fell on the bone once more, he was startled to find that it was no longer a white bone.

Instead, the object was now an ominous, crimson red bone. It seemed poised to shed blood at any moment, as if stained with endless sins.

Simply casting his glance upon this bone sent shivers of dread coursing through Wu Yuan's heart. It was the type of fear that crept right into the depths of his soul.

That bloody bone seemed to represent the Original Sin, or the bottomless Abyss, ready to consume and devour Wu Yuan upon contact, leaving nothing behind.

Despite the protection of the black pagoda and the blood mist, my soul still feels suffocated. Wu Yuan trembled.

This bloody bone is far more terrifying than Huo Gao, the Archimmortal who once tried to kill me.

Just a faint ripple of aura from the bloody bone sent waves of despair crashing over Wu Yuan.

This was undoubtedly the most terrifying object Wu Yuan had ever encountered.

What is this thing? Is this an opportunity of the Bloodforge Spacetime? Wu Yuan felt chills in his heart.

The bloody bone before his eyes was far too eerie.

If he didn’t have the black pagoda to protect and warn him, if he had touched that crimson bone, what would the consequences be? Wu Yuan dared not imagine.

I should stay away. Wu Yuan made an instant decision. He closed his eyes, fearful of even looking at the bloody bone as he backed away.

At this moment, as if sensing Wu Yuan's withdrawal, the previously silent bloody bone suddenly radiated a horrifying crimson light.

Simultaneously, a bloodthirsty, sinister will was released from the bone fragment, invading Wu Yuan's upper dantian lobe.

Hm? A flicker of fear flashed through Wu Yuan’s pupils. But before he could process it, he lost consciousness.

The gap in consciousness between them was too large.

Whoosh! The crimson light that shrouded Wu Yuan seemed to be provoked, growing agitated.

At the same time, the black pagoda within his upper dantian lobe stirred. The doors at the base of the tower opened, sucking in Wu Yuan's soul essence.

On one side was the terrifying crimson will. On the other was the vast and magnificent crimson light!

Both were crimson, yet fundamentally different.

At this moment, a silent collision unfolded. This collision was not on the physical level, but on a higher dimension - mental will.

It was formless and intangible, and could hardly affect the physical plane. Yet its power was terrifying and direct.

The impact of the collision radiated out of Wu Yuan's upper dantian lobe, into the void, causing the other treasures to tremble and wail!

Whether it was the black pagoda or the crimson bone fragment, the power of their wills far surpassed these so-called Legendary opportunity items.

Rumble~ In the dim light, it seemed as if the entire void was trembling.

“Kill! Forge blood! Forge the heavens! Forge the earth! Forge yourself!" The deranged will released from the crimson bone fragment suddenly erupted with power once more.

Boom! Facing the explosive blast of the crimson bone fragment, the crimson glow emitted by the black pagoda began to shrink. It was clearly outmatched.

In the blink of an eye, the terrifying crimson will had completely invaded Wu Yuan's upper dantian lobe, subtly tainting this mysterious dwelling place of Wu Yuan's soul.

The entire lobe turned a deep crimson color!

“Ahhh!” Wu Yuan’s eyes shot open, and he let out a roar of anger.

His eyes burned crimson, brimming with boundless rage and an insatiable thirst for slaughter. It was as though he was controlled by the will from the crimson bone fragment.

Buzz~ The terrifying crimson will broke through each layer of defense, finally touching and tainting the black pagoda in Wu Yuan's upper dantian lobe.

Boom~ The moment it touched the black pagoda, a massive rift in space suddenly opened.

No, it was not merely a rift. It was a descent from a higher, more profound level of spacetime, crushing the spacetime where the crimson bone fragment resided.

The rift appeared to be only hundreds of li long, but with layers of spacetime overlapping, it extended countless li.

In the endless darkness at the end of the spacetime rift, a stalwart structure loomed. It appeared black in color...

As the rift in spacetime opened, an overwhelming and majestic aura surged forth, crushing everything in its path, as if the will of the heavens themselves was descending.

Crack~ Rumble~ The crimson will instantly crumbled in the face of this grand aura, quickly disintegrating.

Wu Yuan ceased struggling and roaring, lowering his head. He had passed out again.

Crack~ When this grand aura crashed down, a visible crack appeared on the bone that was the source of the crimson will.

This crimson bone trembled non-stop, seemingly begging for mercy.

However, the majestic will emanating from the other side of the spacetime rift ignored its pleas, continuing to bear down oppressively.

Crack~ Crack~ Faced with this terrifying clash of wills and pressure, more cracks spiderwebbed throughout the surface of the crimson bone.

Just as it was about to be fractured apart, an invisible force picked up two so-called Legendary opportunity items and hurled them towards Wu Yuan.

One was the nearly withered sapling. The other was the crystalline, incomparably beautiful triangular prism, casting a faint silvery shimmer.

Once they touched Wu Yuan’s body, they disappeared without a trace.

Only then did the will aura emanating from the end of the spacetime rift cease its oppression, retracting its pressure silently.

Immediately, the spacetime rift began to close. This special void then finally regained its tranquility.

Except for the loss of two Legendary opportunity items, a still unconscious Wu Yuan, and a crimson bone riddled with countless fissures on its surface, this particular spacetime had not changed at all. As if nothing had ever happened.

Ancestors...it hasn’t been destroyed, it isn’t sleeping...it's still there! It's still there!

A trail of intermittent consciousness flowed along the surface of the crimson bone.

Within these waves were emotions of shock and boundless fear!

...

Within the Bloodforge Spacetime.

Is it finally over? The white-robed woman hovered above the black metal plaza. Hidden beneath her robes, her eyes were filled with terror.

What just happened? Why do I feel like the whole Bloodforge Spacetime was about to be torn apart just now? Fear pulsed through her heart.

She would never forget that fleeting sensation from a moment ago.

Just now, the aura of the Overlord seemed to awaken. It appears to have assessed Wu Yuan. Judging from the initial tremors, Wu Yuan should be able to receive the Overlord opportunity.

But whether one received an opportunity also depended on whether the opportunity fit the receiver.

Upon receiving the Overlord opportunity, Wu Yuan will eventually mature into a primal soul. Combined with the existing primal souls, this will significantly enhance the chances of the Overlord's revival.

How did things turn out like this? A touch of fear lingered in the woman's eyes. What kind of heaven-defying existence descended just now?

Why do I feel like the aura of the Overlord is far weaker than before?

As the overseer of the day to day affairs of Bloodforge Spacetime, the white-robed woman understood the most important purpose of its existence.

If the Overlord were to completely vanish, then the entire Bloodforge Spacetime would cease to exist.

Her existence would also be meaningless.

Huh? Her eyes flashed with shock as a message from the Overlord's will jolted her out of her thoughts.

The message was simple: Send Wu Yuan away!

Send Wu Yuan away? The white-robed woman's pupils constricted. It was just four words, yet the implications were severe. It wasn’t just as simple as sending him out of the Bloodforge Spacetime.

This Wu Yuan, could it be... even the Overlord... Various possibilities flashed through the white-robed woman's mind. The more she thought, the more terrified she became.

She was acutely aware of the vastness of the endless river of space and time, of the many unknown mysteries that lurked within the endless eons.

The Overlord was a majestic and supreme being. His glory once illuminated countless macrocosms, and innumerable beings chanted his true name.

But after encountering that disaster, he had still been slowly walking towards his final demise for billions of years.

The immense offerings of animus had only delayed this process slightly.

Wu Yuan still hasn't emerged? There must be a reason behind the Overlord’s message.

I can't enter the Overlord hall. First, I should send the other cultivators away.

With a thought, she began to conjure incarnations identical to her true body. They appeared in different areas of Bloodforge Spacetime and started to send away those who had chosen their opportunities one by one.
