Chapter 2400: A Great Crisis!

"Hahaha... I, Tianqing, have finally returned from the chaos of time and space! Shangheng, even if you exiled me into the chaos of time and space, what of it? The Ancestor returns as a king. In this life, who can stop me? Hahaha..."

Not long after Ye Yuan returned to the Primordial War Realm, a middle-aged man in tattered clothes burst out of the void, laughing wildly.

His voice was like rolling thunder, shaking the entire world.

Though his clothes were ragged, the aura emanating from this middle-aged man seemed ready to shatter the heavens.

With every move he made, heaven and earth seemed to shift with him!

This middle-aged man was none other than Tianqing, who had been exiled into the chaos of time and space by Shangheng.

After an epoch, he had finally returned!

Tianqing's appearance immediately caused great panic.

He did not conceal his aura, and within a radius of millions of miles, all powerhouses trembled under his pressure.

Even some reclusive old monsters at the Heavenly Emperor level were alarmed.

"Tianqing... who is Tianqing? How can he be so powerful!"

"Too strong! I feel as if I'm facing the Heavenly Dao itself!"

"What does this man intend to do? His aura seems different from ours... Could he be from the Divine Race?"

...

Some people, their faces turning green with fear, fled for their lives.

The Tongtian Realm was filled with powerhouses, but even a great expert at the ninth level of Heavenly Emperor could not create such terrifying commotion.

The emergence of a supreme expert from the Divine Race immediately alarmed countless powerhouses.

Suddenly, Tianqing frowned and snorted coldly, "Indeed, the Tongtian Realm has been occupied by these ants now, hasn't it? A bunch of overreaching ants, daring to offend the majesty of heaven! Today, I will make you vanish from this world!"

With that, he flicked his finger, and an invisible force shot through the air!

An aura of world-destruction instantly enveloped the surroundings!

Boom!

Several cities not far from him turned to ashes in an instant!

The billions of powerhouses in those dozens of cities were annihilated, leaving not even bones behind!

Such was the terror of a single strike!

Tianqing's face was indifferent, as if he had merely killed a group of ants.

However, he was clearly not satisfied yet. With a flicker, he vanished from the spot.

Soon, one city after another, large and small, completely disappeared from the Tongtian Realm.

This commotion immediately stirred up a huge uproar in the Tongtian Realm!

The disturbance was too terrifying; they couldn't ignore it even if they wanted to!

Within the Divine Race camp, there was jubilation!

"Hahaha, we've finally waited for this! Lord Tianqing's return marks the time for us to sweep through the Tongtian Realm!"

"Those foolish humans thought we feared the Dao Ancestors. They had no idea we were waiting for Lord Tianqing's return!"

"After an epoch of waiting, the time has finally come for the Divine Race to rule the world again!"

...

Among the eight lineages of the Divine Race, the Heavenly Lineage was supreme!

Within the Heavenly Lineage, Tianqing was supreme!

Tianqing was the god of the Divine Race!

His power was beyond words.

The phrase 'annihilating in a snap of the fingers' described him.

In his battle with Shangheng back then, they had riddled the Tongtian Realm with holes.

Even when Shangheng fought him using the two rules of time and space, he was still inferior!

In the end, Shangheng had no choice but to unleash the chaos of time and space, exiling Tianqing, which led to humanity's final victory.

Now, Tianqing had returned, and Shangheng was no more.

Who could stand against Tianqing?

...

"Father, something terrible has happened! The Divine Race's Great Ancestor Tianqing has returned from the chaos of time and space and is wreaking havoc in the Tongtian Realm, destroying thousands of cities! The three Dao Ancestors—Water Ancestor, Fire Ancestor, and Wind Ancestor—joined forces in a great battle. Tianqing was severely wounded and fled back to the Divine Race, but the three Dao Ancestors are also gravely injured!"

Jian Yunxin rushed into the Primordial War Realm in a panic, bringing this earth-shattering news.

Everyone was stunned.

"What did you say? Tianqing... has returned from the chaos of time and space?" Xuanji trembled, lost in thought.

Lei Zu's face also changed drastically. "Even the three of them joining forces couldn't defeat Tianqing?"

The Unforeseen Children present were all dumbfounded.

One man, severely wounding three Dao Ancestors!

Such power was simply terrifying!

So the Time-Space Great Ancestor wasn't boasting; the Divine Race's strength was truly overwhelming!

Only then did they understand why those ancient powerhouses were so wary of the Divine Race!

Those were Dao Ancestors!

Yu Tanzhi, in particular, had a face ashen white.

Only then did he realize how ignorant he had been.

"Senior Shang, this..." Xuanji couldn't help but look at Shangheng.

Shangheng's eyes flickered, and he finally sighed. "With the return of the Green Saint, the chaos of time and space has ended, so naturally it can no longer block someone like Tianqing."

Xuanji said in dismay, "How could this happen? Senior Shang is gone, the Green Saint has not yet attained the Dao—who in this world can stop Tianqing? Is humanity truly unable to escape this calamity?"

At that moment, it felt as if the sky had fallen in the Primordial War Realm.

Even Xuanji and Lei Zu had lost their composure.

No one had expected such a huge upheaval on the eve of the apocalyptic war.

Tianqing's return shattered all their hopes!

In the previous era, because the Mystic Saint had obscured the heavenly secrets, the various races had cultivated in the Hidden World for eons before finally pulling the Divine Race off their pedestal.

But now, there was no time for humanity's geniuses to grow!

Even if Ye Yuan rebuilt the eighteen great formations, he could not cultivate powerhouses like the Time-Space Great Ancestor.

They all believed that once Ye Yuan grew up, he would surely be able to stop the Divine Race.

But he had no time!

"Lord Green Saint, what should we do now?" Shangheng suddenly asked Ye Yuan.

He was probably the only one here who could still maintain some calm.

At his words, everyone turned their gaze to Ye Yuan.

If humanity still had hope, perhaps that hope lay with Ye Yuan!

Ye Yuan had been silent. When Shangheng asked, he slowly said, "We still have time! Although Tianqing displayed great power in this battle, it also proved one thing: he is not invincible! After this battle, I think the Divine Race will still be wary of the Dao Ancestors' power. Moreover, Tianqing probably won't dare to act again for a short time."

Xuanji said with a grim face, "But the Heavenly Dao will soon reclaim the power of the rules! By then, we will have no support at all!"

Ye Yuan asked, "How much time is left?"

Xuanji said, "At the shortest, a hundred years; at the longest, a thousand years."

Ye Yuan fell silent again.

This time was indeed too short!

Although his cultivation speed was fast, in just a thousand years, he could not possibly reach Tianqing's level.

Moreover, the Divine Race's powerhouses were not limited to Tianqing alone!

The ancestors of the eight lineages of the Divine Race were not to be underestimated.

Even if they were not as strong as Tianqing, they were certainly not inferior to Xuanji!

After a long silence, Ye Yuan finally said slowly, "In that case, we have no choice but to fight!"
