" huff " the exhausted breathing of someone can be heard in the middle of desolate land .

The land is desolate but that does not mean the land is empty .

The land is full of collapsed buildings and fresh ruins , the destroyed walls and those gigantic holes around can also be seen clearly .

Fresh blood oozing through the dead bodies around , some have their body stomped by an ancient building while some have their head exploded .

The ancient city which once used to be shining with full glory and prestige has now completely turned into the land of the dead .

Dead Qi looms all over the world , harbingering the call of dead and death .

" How did this happen in the blink of an eye ? " Immortals asked themselves , regular Cultivators were also in daze .

"Epoch Eater , where is he ?" A mighty and powerful Immemorial Entity looks around while standing on the top of a collapsed building .

His Immortal Power surges with endless might and divinity , as if he has power of Immortality .

" Forget about Epoch Eater , where is that damn Villain who started all this tragedy ?" Another Immemorial Entity frowns and expresses his dissatisfaction . 

Nine World rotates behind him in a very slow manner yet only powerful entities can notice that those nine worlds aren't actually rotating slowly but just that the speed has already far transcended the concept of Time-space .

"I want the blood of Epoch Eater !! " An oldman with gray hair yells at High Heaven and looks around . His aggressive attitude is evidence that his Vitality is endless " bring me the Epoch Eater "

"Shut up oldman " a divine lady with unfathomable power and wisdom walks out of Void " forget about the Epoch Eater and Villain , start searching for Treasure Immortal Lord and Transcendent Dao Saint Emperor "

The divine lady has Immortal Lights concealing her presence , making anyone and everyone unable to see through her real appearance .

"Fuck !!" Ethereal Void God Sovereign grits his teeth and express his uncontrollable rage " if it wasn't because of the Villain , I would have finally managed to steal that power from High Heaven "

Void fluctuates around his body while the weak world fails to resist him and other Immemorial Entities .

" Nine World has already turned into ruins , the Unity Epoch has ended " Wisdom Ancestor gaze at the far horizon while Wisdom flows from his body " after this , everyone are forced to go and hide themselves "

Wisdom Ancestor heaves a deep sigh that express his weakness right now " if the native of this new Epoch are fortunate , they are destined to climb higher and achieve something greater "

"But if they are not so fortunate and are only a group of ignorant and arrogant , they are merely a fool with no hopes " Wisdom Ancestor smiled bitterly .

A war goddess with supreme weapon in her hand pierces her furious eyes toward the sky and tries to reach the world beyond the current universe .

She grits her teeth and tightly clenches her fist " Upper Realm , I will someday destroy your God World . Mark my word " 

She is someone who has survived many Epochs and has also created her own Epoch before . She was once a powerful Epoch Lord and was also an unfathomable Ancestral God .

She is also a person from the same Epoch as the Villain and is said to be his close one .

But after the All - Out War , both the Upper Realm and Lower Realm suffered great devastation .

This was all started due to a single man who has already left the Lower Realm .

Villain — a person with a great image in both Mortal World and God World . 

This person is said to be the most benevolent Saint to ever exist but at the same time , only powerful entities know that this person is the craziest evil man to ever exist .

" Relay my message to all hidden factions and forces of Astral Holy Universe and also the masters from Divineflame Universe , if they sees or senses the Villain , they are to report everyone "

Immortal Holy God Empress resting on her Nine Petal Holy Lotus looks divine and holy , untainted by any impurities of the world .

She commands unfathomable power which makes her an extremely forbidden and Immemorial Entity .

"What about the Original Seal that has landed in the hand of Villain ?"

Someone suddenly asked this question to everyone . This commands everyone's silence .

"Yes , what about the Original Seal ?" 

Sounds of saliva gulping can be heard everywhere .

" What do you think about this matter ? " Wildflower Empyrean Destruction Goddess , with her aggressive and war goddess aura , looks at Immortal Holy God Empress " Original Seal has landed on the hands of the Villain , shouldn't we try to retrieve it back ?"

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

The Immortal Holy God Empress goes into deep contemplation , properly contemplating what she should do ?

Original Seal isn't something she can just let it be in Villain's hand , after all , Original Sin is a True Transcendental Epoch Artifact that has immense power and Epoch Source to destroy even an Immortal - like existence .

By using such an artifact , even a mortal can kill someone of her kind . Let alone Villain who is on par with her or maybe even stronger than her .

"First of all , do your best to recuperate" Immortal Holy God Empress opens her soft lips " and secondly , do your best to find traces of Epoch Eater since Epoch Eater can help us to repair our Epoch "

"Everyone , let's us separate for now "

*****

"Cough *" Xian Dao coughs a mouthful of fresh blood the moment he regains his consciousness .

Everything is dim and mild , hazy for his head to comprehend anything about his situation .

"What , what is — going on ?" His weak voice floats in the air and only he manages to hear what he said just now .

His injured body that has suffered critical lethality only manages to shake a little . He feels powerless .

The azure sky and the fleeting clouds , why do they seem to be not as usual .

Cracks have appeared up in the sky , drawing reckless scratches all over .

"Why has the sky shattered ? " Xian Dao asked himself , not knowing what was truly going on ?" Is that a scar ?"

His eyes landed on an enormous gap between the cloud and the sky , where anyone can see galaxies and Cosmo outside .

The gap has been left by a deep and sharp object , the sky must have been splitted in just a single slash of a blade or sword .

Powerful space turbulence seems to be trying hard to enter the world but a mysterious power has been resisting the space turbulence .

Xian Dao slowly struggles and crawls his body backward , finally reaching his back on a solid object .

After that , he checks his physical condition only to notice his left arm has been severed from his body , only his right arm is there with him .

"Sigh" but this didn't work to demotivate him . He just took a heavy sigh , expressing his inability to help himself .

Just a moment ago , he clearly remembers that he was inside his Cultivation Chamber , cultivating peacefully .

But in the next second , suddenly an unwanted earthquake took place .

And before anything , he lost his consciousness .

"Just — " he whispered to himself " just what happened ?"

He is still in trance , unaware of his situation at all .

Everyone was talking about the end of the Epoch getting closer and closer. Could it be that he has survived the end of Epoch and now become part of new Epoch ?

"How many lives have been lost ?" This question suddenly appeared in his mind , feeling quite funny .

With such sky wounding destruction , can anyone even survive at all ?

He was a member of Ancient Orthodoxy Sect — Heavenly Divine Star Sect , yet his Sect still failed to survive .

So how can he even imagine anyone to survive at all ?

But fate has it , he somehow has survived such tribulation .

Maybe he was not destined to die so early .

With a wryly smile on his lips , he laughs slowly . And his light laughter turns into a crazy laughter .

He has always wished for the world to end , for the world to get destroyed .

And now that the world has truly ended and experienced destruction , although not a complete destruction , what should he do ?

First of all , he has lost his left arm .

Second of all , he has no energy to even stand .

"What the hell am I even doing right now ?" His lips curl upward , mocking himself for his misery .

But he didn't lose hope and tried his best to stand on his feet .

"If I remember correctly , Medicine Hall is only few hundred meter away from the Cultivation Hall " the moment he stands up , he murmurs to himself " so that means I just need to walks some few thousand steps "

"Haha "

With his trembling feet , he gets up . And the moment his eyes landed on the surroundings , he was left speechless .

The once mighty and untouchable towers , buildings and halls have now turned into ruins .

The Holy Land of the Sect has now become a burial ground for the dead .

Although Xian Dao does not know what actually took place but since the Ancestors of the Sect have not revealed themselves , he will not do the work of the host .

First of all , he needs to heal his injuries and recover himself from the critical condition.

After doing his best , he finally arrived In front of a destroyed building where an archaic door has endless crack marks spreading .

Entering inside the hall , Xian Dao sees collapsed shelves and furniture with medicines all over the ground and shelves .

"The Revitalization Pill " Xian Dao smiles upon seeing a jar crafted from glass where a bunch of white pills are stored .

After some struggling , Xian Dao opens the cap of the jar and takes out one pill before swallowing the whole .

When he swallows the pill , a mysterious energy course through his Meridians and reaches for his Dantians , all his Meridians and Spiritual Energy Pathway systems begin to activate and start to refine the energy .

Soon his injuries heals and his Spiritual Qi begins to return back to its peak .

"This pill was actually a Spiritual Pill , this is my first time using such a precious pill " Xian Dao gasped after realizing that the pill was actually of Spiritual Grade , not a simple Magical Grade .

After returning back to his peak , other than his left arm everything was normal .

Soon he explores the entire Sect and finds dead corpses of his fellow disciples .

Everyone has died , not even a single soul has survived .

Even the elders and sect master have experienced death , let alone a disciples .

Taking this opportunity , Xian Dao begins to remove and take everyone's Spatial Ring from their arsenal , in result he accumulated hundreds of thousand Spatial Rings .

"Sorry elders , fellow disciples and sect master but I will not feel any shame on doing such an act " Xian Dao isn't a good guy to begin with so he didn't feel any sense of shame even after robbing from the dead .

But when he was exploring , without realizing he arrived on Ancestral Ground where Ancestors normally live .

After some thoughtful thinking , he decided to enter the land .

The land was filled with astronomical Spiritual Qi and Dao Source where Dao was almost endless .

The Ancestral Ground of Heavenly Divine Star Sect is located at the back of the sect where a small hill stands unshakable .

On this hill is a cave where Ancestors of the sect normally like to cultivate.

In the beginning , this cave didn't have Spiritual Qi and Dao Source . 

But after thousands of Ancestors died inside , cultivated inside and also achieved Enlightenment, their energy and intent gave birth to Dao Source.  

Dao Source manifested inside this cave and became a very powerful Immortal Cave .

Soon Xian Dao saw an oldman's dead body resting on a stone seat with his eyes closed .

The body is dead but the endless Lifeforce erupting from the body is enough to kill a puny cultivator like Xian Dao who has only managed to become a Second Layer Spiritual Realm warrior .

Xian Dao does not dare to reach close to the dead body because he can feel that he is no match for the dead body of the Ancestor .

So he ignores the dead body of the Ancestor for now and leaves for the destroyed ruins .

Soon , he begins to explore for treasures and cultivation manuals belonging to the Heavenly Divine Star Sect .

And just like that , he becomes a Grave Robber of his own sect .

And finally, it took him one month to rob everything from his sect .

After one month , he returns back to Ancestral Ground and sits close to his ancestor's dead body with the intention of cultivating .

He takes out a Secret Manual of the sect and begins to read them , trying to cultivate them .

Just like that , time passed .

One day , Ten days , One month , Half year , one year and finally ten years passed . 

After ten years , he became a full-fledged 27 year old man with maturity over his face . 

Although he exhausted the resources of his fallen sect and also cultivated in the Secret Manual of an Ancient Orthodoxy Sect , since he had no proper guidance and all , coupled with his ordinary talent , he only managed to become a Fifth Layer Spiritual Realm master .

And also since he has no real experience in a real battle , his battle prowess may have become stronger but not sharper .

After ten years of cultivation , he decided to leave his sect and explore the familiar world which has now turned into ruins and void .
