Doomsday Summoning Frenzy

"Tap, tap..." The crisp sound of footsteps gradually approached from afar, becoming clearer as they drew near.

Under the bright illumination, the figure of an elderly man slowly became apparent from the distance, eventually stopping in front of a wall at the back of the great hall.

Looking up, a massive and magnificent mural came into view.

However, the mural seemed to be filled with an unknown power, making it difficult to discern its contents.

Nevertheless, this was merely a small trick in front of the elder.

Dark demonic light gradually rose in the elder's eyes, and his originally human-like black-and-white pupils transformed into pure black. Under the influence of this unknown ability, everything depicted in the mural became clear before the elder.

"Is this the final battle?"

A soft murmur escaped the elder's lips as he looked at the content recorded in the mural and the spiritual fluctuations it contained. His expression remained unchanged, perhaps only a slight sigh of emotion from deep within his heart...

The so-called final battle was not a conflict in which the demonic clan completely destroyed the Immortal Heroic World, but rather the battle that led to the fall of the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor—since the fall of the supreme being of the Immortal Heroic World, it had permanently lost the ability to contend against the Demon Realm.

However, the content of the mural was not important for the elder—whatever the truth may be, it was not something he needed to consider.

The elder's gaze was focused on the four items surrounding the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor in the mural.

Once, they were the four supreme treasures of the Immortal Heroic World!

"Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine."

The emerald green vine, from the depiction on the mural and its proportions, seemed like a giant tree that could pierce heaven and earth. The Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine in Wen Yu's hand was merely a tiny branch compared to what was depicted in the mural.

"Heaven-Slaying Divine Sword."

The elder's gaze shifted to the sword held by the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor.

It resembled the fragment of the Heaven-Slaying Divine Sword that Wen Yu had seen, but even through the mural, one could feel how sharp and imposing the original Heaven-Slaying Divine Sword was.

"Unfortunately, it shattered."

The elder lightly revealed the truth, then disregarded the long-gone Heaven-Slaying Divine Sword and turned his gaze upward.

Above the mural, a crystal-clear round orb floated around the head of the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor, continuously emanating a radiant and spiritual glow.

Seeing the smooth and transparent orb in the mural, a hint of emotion finally emerged in the elder's tone.

"Soul Orb... what a pity that this one is broken; it's truly a shame..."

Perhaps feeling genuine regret over the damage to the Soul Orb, the elder turned away and no longer paid attention to the content of the mural, not even wishing to mention the appearance of the last supreme treasure. He directly placed a hand against the mural.

"Creek."

A faint sound of friction slowly emerged, and the mural seemed to open like a door, sliding apart to reveal a hidden dark room behind it.

...

Stepping into the dark room, the elder glanced around.

The entire dark room had no special arrangements, just a room of nearly ten square meters. However, the constantly flowing runes and lights around it seemed to suggest that this dark room was not as plain as it appeared.

After a brief look at the setup in the dark room, the elder gently nodded.

"Truly, the efforts of the Heaven-Piercing are not small; I fear that nearly one-tenth of the resources of the Immortal Heroic World have become the materials for crafting this dark room."

"Unfortunately, the strength is too weak, and it still couldn't hold up..."

The elder sighed to himself, then disregarded everything else and sat cross-legged on the ground, slowly closing his eyes.

"The Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine opens the Treasure Land Gate, the Heaven-Slaying Divine Sword awakens a fragment of my will, the Soul Orb serves as a guide, invoking the endless souls of the Heavenly Palace to pave the way for the entire plan, and finally..."
