As soon as Li Shenrong's voice fell, the ground started to shake. A deep ravine was created as if leading to the underworld. No one could see the end of it. From within cries of lamentation and ancient resentment, echoed like the chorus of countless tormented souls. The sound almost made people lose their minds. It was like the whispering of the devil beside one's ear. Even the Godking's felt uncomfortable, it seemed like the sound wanted to penetrate deep into their hearts.
From within the deep ravine, a humanoid black creature slowly flew out. It was completely pitch black without any facial features, seemed just like a statue and sculpted from the void itself. Cultivator who saw the creature felt a great terror staring at them. Their blood turned cold. Lord Jiang's countenance changed greatly as he quickly protected his heart. Red dust fairy used a dharma artifact to cover herself completely, even so, a faint crack appeared on the surface of her treasure. Other Godking's hid themselves like mouse encountering a cat. From the creature they felt a greater threat than those low level cultivators.
The Godkings waited patiently as to see what Li Shenrong would do. They already considered him an unfathomable hidden giant.
Standing with his hands clasped behind his back, Li Shenrong faced the black entity. His expression was calm, his gaze indifferent, his presence was towering like an unshakable mountain. "I was expecting a big fish, but why is it you?"
"An anomaly?" The black entity spoke, its voice neither male nor female.
"I don't know what kind of anomaly you speak of but you shouldn't exist at all." Li Shenrong uttered calmly.
"Our existence couldn't be decided by the likes of you." It said.
"It does not matter," Li Shenrong said flatly. "What matters is that you will be buried here."
"With only you?" The black entity's voice curled with disdain.
Li Shenrong chuckled softly. "You will know soon enough."
The Godkings glanced at one another. Even at their level, the black entity's aura chilled their souls. Lord Jiang, once proud, felt a tremor of true terror in his heart. None of them could discern the creature's origin.
Then, with a single motion, the black entity overturned its palm. The ropes binding the annihilation hooks dissolved into nothingness. Violent gray mist surged forth like tide if wanting to drown the world. The annihilation hooks merged into eight hooks, each one was thicker than a thousand mountain together. It continued to extend infinitely long and shot in eight different directions. Each hook broke the continental barrier with loud bangs. Almost everyone within the Sword Sea continent could hear it.
Li Shenrong didn't stop this from happening. The black entity wanted to repair the world into its former shape which was a good thing.
Under everyone's gaze the black entity spoke, "My servants, rise up!" The grey mist convulsed, surging like a storm, it was so thick and violent that anyone would feel breathless just by looking. From the ground, innumerable abominations crawled out, foul creatures of every form and level, from lesser fiends to towering monstrosities radiating Godking level might. Cultivators who were hiding despaired once again. The abominations multiplied a hundred thousandfold, forming a living ocean of darkness. If this army of abominations released outside it would only mean the end of the world.
Against the tide of nightmares stood a single man. Li Shenrong's gaze remained as cold and unmoved as an ancient glacier. He raised his palm, and seven radiant pillars of light tore through the void, descending to his side. When the light faded everyone could see it was the seven dao portal that had descended.
The seven dao portal shimmered with brilliant light and transformed into seven cannon that could pierce the heaven itself. Each cannon was engraved with divine runes and emperor level formation. The cannon's mouths lit up and shot terrifying golden beams that instantly vaporised thousands of abomination in an instant. Space shattered like glass, the heat released from the golden beams created dark voids around it. Even godking level abominations died horribly under the violent onslaught of the cannons. Lord Jiang and others felt just one beam alone could kill him on spot.
"Emperor cannon! A supreme emperor level treasure!" He muttered.
"It seems you have been collecting what those rats left behind…" the black entity said, its voice was disdainful.
"Someone who lived his whole life as a rat calling someone else a rat seems rather laughable…" Li Shenrong sneered.
The cannons shot infinitely without any qualms, causing great devastation. The tsunami of monsters were now being ravaged by seven emperor cannons. These cannons were left behind by the past emperors as a defensive measure.
A sea of black blood and corpse piled up high like mountain. The thick rancid smell was nauseating. Li Shenrong stood at the centre of the storm. Not a single abomination was able to touch him.
Seeing the army of abomination couldn't do anything, the black entity rose up in the sky. It took out an item that resembled a disc, its surface was etched with incomprehensible sigils.
"Immortal demon generals! I command you to Descend!"
Its voice echoed throughout the entire Sword Sea continent like the cry of a devil.
Under its command, among the countless abominations new beings emerged, Immortal Demon Generals. The cultivators who had entered the eighty one dao portal all became vassal for the demon generals.
"The bait worked like magic for my generals to descend. I need to thank them for their greed, without their greed, my generals would never have crossed into this world."
The black entity said, although it had no facial features but from its voice it seemed like it was smiling.
Each immortal demon general was equivalent to a seventh catalyst Godking. One could search far and wide into the Sword Sea continent but they wouldn't be able to find a single seventh catalyst Godking.
Soon, a vast army of demon generals were born. The demon generals exuded an aura so overwhelming that even great characters from the other continents could feel their terrifying malice and terror.
Lord Jiang and the other godking paled in fear. "The world will be destroyed at this rate…!"
Powerful characters from other continents were alerted as they hurriedly discussed. They couldn't see what was happening beyond the continent's boundary. They could only feel wave after waves malice and terror.
"What's happening there?" A second catalyst Godking spoke.
"It's giving off a forbidden aura…" A very old Godking spoke. He knew few pieces of information but didn't speak out loud.
Facing the vast army of immortal demon generals, Li Shenrong stood calmly. His figure stood tall and majestic like a supreme being overlooking the world. He stomped on the ground and rose high above.
"Suppress!" He shouted and pressed his palm downward. A vast invisible weight of heaven and earth descended, halting the army of Demon Generals.
"How can someone like you could control this formation!" The black entity suddenly spoke, it was surprised and astonished.
Li Shenrong smiled without saying anything. His smile infuriated the black entity as if its dignity was challenged.
It suddenly vanished from its spot and instantly appeared above Li Shenrong's head. Li Shenrong had yet to react as its claws were already an inch away from him.
Just as its claws were about to touch him, an overwhelming spiritual force struck it like a divine hammer. The black entity took thousand steps back instantly.
The spiritual force that appeared took the shape of an old man. His appearance was accompanied by a vast, pure imperial aura that drowned the world. People couldn't help but prostrate in submission.
"Emperor will…!? Do you think this Emperor will can save you?" The black entity said in a deep voice.
"If one won't do, how about a few more?" Li Shenrong said smilingly.
From various corners of the ancient ruin, twelve more brilliant light shot out in the sky. The light descended and each manifested into an Emperor will. With the descend of twelve Emperor will everything else felt insignificant and utterly meaningless. Emperors ruled heaven and earth, their might as boundless as the sky.
The twelve Emperor will took action. Their each move crossed through time and space, directly targeting the black entity to its very source.
Against the all powerful Emperor will, it struggled to stand its ground. But even so, people understood just how powerful the black entity was. Even after being besieged by so many Emperor will, it could still struggle.
Step by step, Li Shenrong moved toward a flat expanse of ground. He raised his foot and stomped. A sound like shattering glass echoed, and the earth transformed into a crystal clear lake.
The black entity's suddenly panicked as it struggled more violently. It wanted to tear Li Shenrong apart but how could the Emperor will's let it go?
"Stop!" The black entity shouted.
Li Shenrong paid it no heed. Standing at the lake's edge, he drew forth a rusty chain and cast it into the water. With both hands he pulled. A deep, rolling sound rose from the depths as the water rippled and churned. It seemed like Li Shenrong was pulling a giant stone out of the lake. His face turned red as he pulled, the thing under water was heavier than mountains.
The black entity slashed wildly, but the Emperor Wills blocked every blow. It could not advance a single step.
Soon, he pulled the thing out of the water. Contrary to everyone's expectations it was a dead tree trunk. It was black like charcoal. It gave off a warm feeling as if it was never under the water.
"Boy, keep it back where it was or else…." The black entity threatened coldly.
Li Shenrong took out a sword and raised it high. He wanted to tear it apart. The Emperor will's were also looked very excited as their eyes shined. They understood, with the destruction of that thing everything could be solved. Because they could see that tree trunk was the very source of the disaster.
