The sudden appearance of the Primal Chaos Ancestral God was only the beginning of the calamity.
Before this, Long Chen did not know that while they were heading towards the core, the other Ancestral Gods were also heading in this direction.
Therefore, when the Primal Chaos Ancestral God intercepted the Primal Chaos Ancestral God, many crimson eyes appeared in that instant. The violent gazes pierced through the Doomsday Sacred Fire, bringing with them a terrifying killing intent.
The blazing madness was even hotter and more restless than the surrounding Doomsday Sacred Fire. Indistinctly, the Ancestral Gods that were still being controlled were roaring to their limits.
"Roar, roar."
The Ancestral Gods that had lost their sanity and were like starving beasts appeared from all directions. When they saw so many existences, it was as if they were all prey. Therefore, they could not help but roar even more wildly.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
All of a sudden, an uncountable number of Elder Gods appeared. They were densely packed as they gathered in this place.
The thousands of Ancestral Gods that had calmed down saw even more Ancestral Gods that had fallen into madness.
They had come to the core to see if there was a glimmer of hope that they could destroy the Doomsday Sacred Fire and save the 10,000 Realms.
Who would have thought … that upon arriving here, what awaited them was complete despair.
The Sky Devouring Race seemed to have set up a trap here. Now, they had successfully lured all the Ancestral Gods here. What was next was a frenzied massacre on the Sun of Purgatory.
This was the true Great Extinction of 10,000 Realms.
From now on, the rate of destruction of the Origin of the Realms would reach its peak, until … all the Ancestral Gods and the Origin of the Realms disappeared here.
"It's over … all our efforts were for naught."
"What we see here is even more despair. The Sky Devouring Race must have summoned the Ancestral Gods that are still under the control of the curse here for a great massacre."
"Not only did we not find a way to defeat the enemy, we even fell into the vortex of death …"
"Even the Primal Chaos Ancestral God is being held back. There is no hope for the 10,000 Realms."
In reality, their thoughts were not far from Long Chen's. If they were to stay here and face the slaughter, the only possibility was that the remaining 10% of the Ancestral Gods would all die.
At this critical moment, Long Chen made a decision.
At least the seven Ancestral Gods of the fifth era were still by his side.
"Everyone, please lead these thousand-plus Elder Gods out of this place as quickly as possible. The further the better."
Right now, all of the violent Elder Gods were gathered here. Because of Lingxi's hard work, they had finally regained consciousness. If they were to perish here, it would be too much of a waste.
Long Chen had considered the worst case scenario.
Today, none of the Elder Gods would be able to escape. They would all be exterminated. In that case, he would be able to save at least a thousand Elder Gods. He would be able to save a thousand worlds. The Myriad Worlds would at least have a bit of a foundation that would allow them to survive.
This was the worst-case scenario.
As a decision-maker, he had to think of the worst-case scenario.
"Long Chen, what about you?"
The Elder Gods understood what Long Chen meant. They had the same thought as well. No matter what, now that their last sliver of hope had been destroyed, they had to leave behind a final chance of survival for the infinite worlds. Otherwise, staying here would only result in them dying of exhaustion.
"The Sky Devouring Race can't find me. I need to find an opportunity. Everyone, take care."
Long Chen said resolutely. At this critical moment, all of the Elder Gods' hearts were pounding. Perhaps only Long Chen could still make a rational decision. The fire in his heart hadn't been extinguished by the arrival of despair.
"I admire you."
Time waited for no man. If they were a step late, they wouldn't even have a chance to escape. The thousand-plus of them chose a place that seemed to have fewer people and fled. With a few of the Fifth era's Elder Gods working together and Kunpeng Ancestor God and the others, they were able to carve out a path of blood.
Of course, they wouldn't destroy the World Source of others. They just wanted to leave this place.
Long Chen and Ling Xi heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that they had successfully left. However, the two of them had lost the protection of the fifth era's Ancestor God in the battlefield where the Ancestor Gods were fighting. They were simply too insignificant and weak.
They were like two ants in the middle of a chaotic ocean, with countless schools of fish killing each other around them.
Long Chen saw with his own eyes that countless blood-red eyed Elder Gods had entered this huge battlefield from countless directions. Among them, the battle between the Primordial War Ancestor and the Chaos Elder God was the most destructive.
"Long Chen, why aren't you leaving?"
The Primordial War Ancestor saw him during a gap in the battle. In fact, he had sensed more Fifth era's Elder Gods approaching. Even he was prepared to leave, but the Chaos Elder God was too persistent.
"You leave first. I will find an opportunity."
To be honest, Long Chen even wanted him to take Lingxi away. However, he was sure that Lingxi wouldn't agree. At this point, her will was definitely that if she had to die, she would rather die with Long Chen. Hence, he pulled Lingxi back and didn't ask for her help.
"Chen, thank you …"
Lingxi was a sensitive person. She knew that he had been struggling in his heart. Looking back, her eyes were brimming with tears. It was heartbreaking.
"We might not lose."
Long Chen wiped away her tears. Perhaps because he had experienced such a scene many times, it wasn't that shocking anymore. He clenched his teeth and calmed down, seeking hope in this desperate situation.
As for Lingxi, he held her smooth palm tightly. The warmth in her palm was the greatest courage he had at this moment.
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
A large number of Elder Gods rushed over and joined the battlefield. Under the blood-red curse, this was a group of existences that even the Ninth era's Elder Gods had the courage to rush to the Fourth era's Elder Gods and attack.
In the blink of an eye, there were thousands of Elder Gods.
What was it that attracted them here?
Buzz.
At this moment, Long Chen saw an even larger beast in the endless flames. In an instant, the endless sea of flames retreated, tearing open a huge space. Under Long Chen's feet, a huge beast appeared.
It was a beast that was thousands of meters long. For it to have such a huge divine body in this apocalypse, one could see its strength. What shocked Long Chen the most was that it was a divine dragon.
A divine dragon that was completely blood-red and made up of flames.
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
The blood-colored flames surged and burned fiercely. Although it was just a ball of flames, it was clearly a living divine dragon that was stretching its body. It was very eye-catching, but the strangest thing was that the surrounding Elder Gods didn't react at all. It was as though they didn't see it. The Primeval Battle Ancestor, who was fighting the Primal Chaos Elder God, didn't feel anything at all from the divine dragon's head …
"Perhaps this is also … the Sky Devouring Clan."
The blood-red flame divine dragon of the Sky Devouring Clan.
Although it was a little different, if it wasn't the Sky Devouring Clan, why didn't anyone sense it? More importantly, Long Chen was also in front of this huge divine dragon. But Long Chen could feel that this blood-red flaming divine dragon was engulfing its divine body, but it didn't seem to notice Long Chen's existence.
"Roar."
At this moment, Long Chen saw with his own eyes that when the source of a world was destroyed, the shards flew towards the flaming divine dragon and were swallowed.
"He's absorbing the power of the source of all the Elder Gods' worlds. From start to finish, the power of all the destroyed Elder Gods' world source has landed on this flaming divine dragon. In other words, he's the key to all the conspiracies."
Finally found the target.
The target couldn't see him.
But it wasn't as easy to deal with as the Sky Devouring Clan. In fact, it might not even be the Sky Devouring Clan.
Rumble.
The blood-red flaming divine dragon swam in the battlefield, avoiding all the Creation Ancestor Gods. They didn't touch him, and as he swam, he would approach whenever the source of a world was destroyed.
At this moment, the divine dragon approached and opened its mouth in front of Long Chen.
Weng.
At that moment, Long Chen felt as though he was struck by lightning. His vision passed through inexplicably, and he felt the strong vibration of the world's source, Massacre. He passed through the beast's mouth, throat, and within the endless blood-red flames, he saw a huge platform within its body. It was a pitch-black platform, and on that platform, a blood-red divine dragon coiled.
That divine dragon, Long Chen was extremely familiar with.
It was practically the divine dragon he was most familiar with.
That was the Primordial Spiritual Blood Dragon.
Of course, it wasn't a real divine dragon, but something that Long Chen was also very familiar with … the Origin Dragon Soul.
He finally saw the Origin Dragon Soul of the Primordial Spiritual Blood Dragon. It was no wonder that at this moment, Massacre would guide him and be excited by the appearance of the Origin Dragon Soul.
Regarding the Primordial Spiritual Blood Dragon, Long Chen had gathered all eight Syndicate Dragons, obtained the Death's Reign, the world's source, and even found its Ancestral Flame. The only thing missing was its Origin Dragon Soul.
But at this moment, he was sure that the Origin Dragon Soul was in the body of this giant beast. The problem was that the Origin Dragon Soul of the Primordial Spiritual Blood Dragon was nailed to the platform by a total of one billion black nails. Each nail was covered with a black curse, and the symbol was like a snake, coiling around the nail.
Who trapped the Origin Dragon Soul here? Obviously, it had to be the Chaotic Heaven Devouring Dragon. Only he was familiar with the power of the curse. Under the pressure of the one billion black nails, the Origin Dragon Soul of the Primordial Spiritual Blood Dragon could not move at all.
But it existed.
At that moment, Long Chen's eyes turned even redder.
The blood feud, and the thing that he wanted the most, were all in the body of this Flaming Divine Dragon. At this moment, he was destined to go crazy. He could not help but tell the dragon servants that he had seen the Origin Dragon Soul of the Primordial Spiritual Blood Dragon.
But whether or not he could get it was a huge problem.
Lingxi was still by his side, and danger was everywhere …
"Go, I'll protect myself," Ling Xi replied with a faint smile. This person, even at a time like this, was still completely thinking about Long Chen.
"Come with me."
