The massive rupture appearing in the sky’s dome is not only visible to the people of Yunwu Mountain’s Base but is seen by half of the Earth’s population.
The thunderous sound is incomparable to any lightning thunder.
It is as if the sky in people’s hearts has suddenly been torn open, revealing a huge chasm, presenting for the first time that feeling of the sky collapsing in a truly realistic sense before everyone’s eyes.
Gradually, around the massive opening in the sky, winds and clouds surged, forming a gigantic black vortex, like an endless abyss with no end.
Upon closer look, it’s as if a massive black hole appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Within Yunwu Mountain’s Base, Tong Yunshu, after a brief shock, was the first to sense the distinct special energy elements that differed from the original Earth Space’s spiritual power elements.
In the past, this energy element needed very careful and patient perception to detect, but the moment this sky chasm appeared, Tong Yunshu astonishingly found that this special energy element suddenly became incredibly intense.
She said to Yang Fei, "Yang Fei, did you feel that special power element getting stronger?"
Reminded by her, Yang Fei immediately sensed it and, full of doubt and uncertainty, said, "That’s right, this energy element suddenly seems to have increased exponentially."
"It’s descending from the sky," Tong Yunshu said again.
Yang Fei’s heart trembled, and when he concentrated on sensing it, he indeed discovered that the increasingly intense special energy elements were descending from the sky.
It’s as if a crack appeared in the cosmos, a huge chasm in the sky, causing this energy element, once seemingly restrained by some mysterious power, to finally pour onto Earth.
Similarly, Qin Yanyang sensed this special power element. When she engaged in Dual Cultivation with Yang Fei, she was reminded of the presence of this special energy element.
In her recent cultivation, she was actively absorbing this energy element, because she discovered that this energy element was more stable, solid, and potent than any power element contained in previous spiritual energy.
In Yang Fei’s recent cultivation, the spiritual elements absorbed into his body primarily consisted of this energy element, and although he had just stepped into the Energy Transformation Realm and hadn’t even reached the Late-stage Energy Transformation Realm, he could already demonstrate combat power akin to the Innate Realm, showing just how domineering this energy element was.
Now, with the sudden occurrence of changes, a vast chasm and vortex appeared in the wounded sky, and this special energy element manifested in large quantities, leaving Qin Yanyang both worried and delighted.
Setting aside whether this sky phenomenon would bring disaster to Earth, this sudden surge in special energy elements is an immense blessing for cultivators.
Tong Yunshu, Yang Fei, and Qin Yanyang were the first to be acquainted with this special energy element, hence discovering the benefits within.
But for others, this sudden sky change could only bring inexplicable unease and fear.
For the vast majority of ordinary people, this phenomenon is deemed as if the sky is falling.
A fear of the impending apocalypse loomed over everyone’s hearts.
Amidst everyone’s shock, suddenly, a voice of despair was heard: "This... this is the true millennial catastrophe..."
Everyone looked towards the voice and found the speaker to be Huang Chengcheng.
The majority of the world’s secular people in the Divine Continent do not comprehend its meaning, yet all the experts from the Hidden Sect were greatly changed in expression, their faces pale like ashes.
Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang had also heard of the ancient prophecy passed down from the Hidden Sect regarding the millennial catastrophe, and now their expressions changed as well.
Qin Yanyang said in a grave voice, "Master, isn’t the millennial catastrophe the result of the Hidden Sect’s Plane World being unstable and about to collapse?"
Huang Chengcheng looked up at the gigantic vortex deep in the sky, his body quivering, displaying utter dejection and despair.
Mo Li said in a trembling voice, "Millennial catastrophe, this is the real millennial catastrophe, it’s over... it’s all over."
The other experts from the Hidden Sect also had grave expressions and gasped in shock.
"What’s going on? There has always been a legend of the millennial catastrophe, but... but what exactly is it, no one could ascertain. Huang Chengcheng, why do you say this is the true millennial catastrophe?" Mo Yunhai could not help but ask Huang Chengcheng.
"Yes, I don’t believe in those so-called prophecies. Are they really that mystical?" Qi Yan said.
Zuo Wenjun said in a grave voice, "Brother Huang, do you know something? Why are you so certain this is the true millennial catastrophe?"
Chen Liangzhong also looked towards Huang Chengcheng and Mo Li, awaiting an answer.
Cui Wanmin, Cui Wanbang, Xie Yunfei, and other experts from the Hidden Sect all gazed at Huang Chengcheng.
For them, Huang Chengcheng, as this direct disciple of the Taoist lineage, must know some secrets they were unaware of.
After all, the foundation of the Hidden Sect is the Taoist, the Taoist once controlled everything within the Hidden Sect, and it is said that the Plane World of the Hidden Sect was established under the lead of esteemed Taoists, and many secrets of cultivation have been passed down by the Taoist lineage through generations.
Now, with the celestial changes descending upon them, and Huang Chengcheng claiming this to be the true millennial catastrophe, everyone wanted to understand what was happening.
Huang Chengcheng looked dejected, after a while, he let out a heavy sigh, and said, "I also thought the collapse of the Hidden Sect’s Plane was the realization of the millennial catastrophe prophesied by the Hidden Sect. But now it seems I guessed wrong. It turns out the collapse of the Hidden Sect’s Plane was just the trigger for this millennial catastrophe. Not only the collapse of the Hidden Sect’s Plane, but the collapse of Heaven, Penglai Realm, and the Hidden Sect, these three Plane Worlds, lead to the arrival of this millennial catastrophe."
"Why do you say so?" Mo Yunhai asked again.
Suddenly, Zhuge Cang said, "Because Heaven, Penglai Realm, and the Hidden Sect, these three Plane Worlds, may seem to exist separately from the Earth Plane, transcending the earthly realm, but in reality, these three planes are part of three interconnected massive arrays. The simultaneous existence of these three formations maintains the stability and tranquility of the Earth Plane, safeguarding the Earth Plane from being discovered by worlds beyond."
As soon as this was said, everyone was startled.
For cultivators who know about the Heaven, Penglai, and Hidden Sect’s three Plane Worlds, this explanation was highly convincing.
Mo Li quickly asked, "Zhuge Cang, what else do you know?"
Zhuge Cang said, "Back then, when the Taoist lineage was destroyed, my Zhuge family obtained most of the Taoist’s ancient texts on Rune Tao, Arrays, and Alchemy technology. I once found snippets about the millennial catastrophe in an ancient text. Googlᴇ search NoveI[F]ire.net
But I always thought it was too mystical to be credible, given that the Array, Rune Tao, and Alchemy levels of the Hidden Sect were indeed too backward, and it seemed impossible for anyone to create such formidable arrays to help the entire Earth Plane in isolating from external connections.
Unexpectedly... there indeed exists a master on this Earth proficient in such array formation talisman Tao."
