Chapter306-The Tremor Across Middle Earth
In Owen and Leslie’s minds, there were many forms of
mana.
forms of power more advanced than
But one that closely resembled the immortal energy radiating from the Divine Path Stone was only one thing: the power of the world!
They exchanged a knowing look and smiled.
Owen then concentrated the power of the world contained within his inner realm and channeled it into the Divine Path Stone.
Though Leslie didn’t have a personal world like Owen, she did possess the Dark Tower!
The Dark Tower, a mystical artifact once wielded by the Ice Emperor, held many frozen creatures and small worlds within, along with a considerable amount of the power of the world.
Until recently, Leslie lacked the rank and strength to wield such a power. However, having ascended to god-tier, her mastery of the Dark Tower and understanding of magic had advanced drastically, enabling her to harness the power of the world.
Rumble!
In an instant, the once-motionless Divine Path Stone trembled slightly, resonating with a low hum that reverberated across the void.
Under the combined power of the world from Owen and Leslie, an earthy, yellow immortal energy expanded outward like fog from the stone, quickly covering the skies above the Duke’s estate.
Within this cloud of immortal energy, the mana inside the estate instantly intensified by dozens of times.
The previously invisible mana condensed into rainbow-colored mist, drifting visibly throughout the entire estate.
Bathed in this sudden influx of elemental mist, Madelyn and the others felt a jolt of surprise and turned toward its source-Leslie’s courtyard.
As the immortal energy continued to
spread, the Divine Path Stone began to expand like a mountain rising from the ground, towering below the clouds.
Madelyn and the others felt their internal
energies surging, with their mind power also rapidly increasing, as if they’d entered a sacred training ground.
“What’s happening? Why has the mana
increased so drastically?”
“And why does the elusive Order appear so
distinctly now?”
Madelyn and Rachel exchanged puzzled
glances.
“I think it’s that stone Owen brought back!”
Rachel suddenly recalled, her eyes widening in shock. “The Divine Path
Stone-he found a way to activate it!”
The others turned to Rachel, curiosity
shining in their eyes.
Rachel, who’d inherited memories from her
ancient succubus bloodline, knew many
things lost to the current era.
“This Divine Path Stone holds an immortal
energy that, according to legend, is powerful against the Millennial Cataclysm. I never expected Owen to actually activate
it!” Rachel exclaimed.
Madelyn and the others looked at her in
disbelief. If Rachel’s words were true, then
facing the Millennial Cataclysm could be
far less devastating for them.
After all, each Millennial Cataclysm marked the end of an era, bringing ruin to
countless powers and strongholds.
It was a complete destruction and remaking of Middle Earth and the great
worlds.
No one could escape.
But now, it seemed Owen had found a
sliver of hope!
Hearing Rachel’s words, Charlotte rushed to the courtyard’s entrance, guarding against any intruders.
Feeling the powerful mana intensify as she
neared, Charlotte’s heart brimmed with anticipation.
News of the Millennial Cataclysm had spread across the planes. Everyone was on high alert.
Now, as long as the Emperor and Empress
could succeed, those of “insignificant strength” like her might actually have a
chance to survive!
Under their watchful gaze, the earthy
yellow immortal energy spread more quickly, covering the capital city and the towns of Azure Kingdom.
It reached the kingdom’s very borders,
stretching as far as Owen and Leslie’s combined efforts could manage. At that moment, every mage within Azure
Kingdom felt mana density reaching an unprecedented peak!
Mages who’d been stuck at the same rank
for decades suddenly felt the barriers to advancement weakening under this surge of mana.
The closer they were to the capital, the
more frequently breakthroughs seemed to
happen.
They didn’t know what had caused this
phenomenon, but to them, it was a tremendous blessing! With the Millennial Cataclysm looming,
every bit of strength gained increased their chance of survival!
Though their power remained relatively
low, under such intense mana, they felt their ranks would soar.
In stark contrast to the celebrations within
Azure Kingdom, the rest of Middle Earth and beyond turned their gaze in surprise
toward Azure Kingdom as the surge spread.
Moments earlier, the kingdom’s mana burst had shaken even distant onlookers.
In a short span, Azure Kingdom’s mana had
increased exponentially!
A nationwide boost in mana like this was
previously unimaginable!
But more than just Azure Kingdom’s mana
levels had changed.
Those observing from afar also sensed a peculiar energy cloaking the kingdom, disrupting their perception of it.
It felt as if the entire Azure Kingdom were slipping away from the plane!
Each major power felt an immediate jolt of
surprise, quickly followed by a glimmer of hope. The Millennial Cataclysm, a looming sword hanging over everyone’s head, had driven
them to seek countless ways to survive or evade the disaster.
But nothing had proven effective. Over the eons, they had learned from
experience.
The Millennial Cataclysm was an unstoppable force unless one possessed a power on par with The Celestial. Raw
strength alone couldn’t withstand it.
Unless… one could hide, evading the heavens’ perception!
Over time, ancient powers confirmed this
as a viable strategy through various experiments. Although many deities and families
couldn’t survive, they devised ways to seal potential descendants, faking their deaths to evade The Celestial and reawaken them
in
the new era.
But this method had severe limitations, as
the magic required for such seals was immense—allowing even the strongest god-tier mages to seal only one or two individuals.
Now, however, Azure Kingdom’s current state looked nearly identical to a sealed
domain in the eyes of many ancient powers!
The entire Azure Kingdom seemed cut off
from the rest of the world!
They couldn’t perceive Azure Kingdom’s
existence!
Yet Azure Kingdom was indeed there, and
its inhabitants remained conscious, fully aware!
It was like a giant piece of amber, encasing
the kingdom and preserving everything within in motion.
The mysterious force seemed to sever the
kingdom’s connection to external time and space.
If their senses were accurate…
Then their long-held hopes of preserving
sects, families, and powers through the calamity could finally come true! Instantly, those who sensed the anomaly
rushed toward Azure Kingdom from across Middle Earth and beyond, abandoning
everything else.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The tranquility of Azure Kingdom, restored
just moments earlier, shattered as
countless figures soared toward it.
Azure Kingdom was now the epicenter of
unparalleled commotion!
Upon arrival, the travelers were astonished
to find that Azure Kingdom truly seemed disconnected from the world, as if existing in a self-contained realm!
Though it differed from the usual sealing methods, it achieved the same result. As they gathered around, everyone had a
single thought: whether they would survive this calamity now lay in the hands of Owen
and Leslie!.
