Chapter 1631 The Great Disaster of the Fourth Epoch
"Fellow Taoists, how do you feel?"
The Dragon King stood in the void and saw that everyone was almost shocked, so he smiled slightly and spoke downwards.
Although his voice was not high, it instantly spread throughout the square and reached the ears of every immortal.
Everyone's expressions changed, and they all came back to their senses. They looked up into the sky and saw the Dragon King who was like the ruler of this world.
At this moment, everyone no longer looked at the Dragon King with the carelessness they had before, even those who were at the peak of the Immortal Master level.
"I've met the Dragon King!"
"Greetings to Senior Dragon King!"
"Dragon Emperor Yuantong, you are polite!"
…
Various sounds of greetings sounded around the square.
"Fellow Taoists, you are so polite. It is Long Yuantong's turn to express his gratitude to you all here. Without your support and testimony, there would not have been a successful conclusion to the preliminaries of the Three Realms Dharma Assembly. Thank you, fellow Taoists!"
Dragon Emperor Yuantong showed no pretense and sincerely thanked everyone present. Everyone returned the favor again, even saying they didn't dare.
After some polite remarks, the Dragon King changed his tone and got down to business.
"Comrades, Xuantian's preliminaries for the Three Realms Dharma Assembly have ended successfully, and the results have come out. I believe you have just seen them. The geniuses who are ranked in the top one thousand in the two rankings are the ones who won this time. Comrades who have qualified for the finals, Long would like to congratulate these two thousand geniuses! Congratulations on becoming the representatives to participate in the Three Realms Dharma Conference on behalf of Xuantian! Long would like to wish you all the best in this competition! , exalt my Xuantian glory!”
The Dragon King smiled and congratulated the two thousand geniuses standing in front of the crowd below. The last words of encouragement even caused a roar of applause.
The other powerful immortals in the square, as well as the millions of spectators who were outside the Heavenly Immortal Scroll and could not see the scene in the large square but could hear the Dragon King's voice, also congratulated them.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely enthusiastic.
The faces of the outstanding geniuses were all filled with excited smiles. Although these geniuses are the most outstanding beings of their kind in terms of cultivation, they are still young after all, and they cannot hide their inner excitement when encountering such things.
Those geniuses who failed to reach the finals had disappointment written all over their faces.
However, as the Dragon King finished his next few words, the whole square was boiling again. The originally depressed immortals suddenly widened their eyes in surprise and completely forgot about other things.
"Before leaving, the Hongmeng envoy told Long that he must convey his old man's intentions clearly. He hopes that fellow Taoists in the three realms of Xuantian who have misunderstood him can understand his good intentions."
The Dragon King's nonsense words made everyone stunned and fell silent.
The Hongmeng Envoy had previously defeated the Heavenly Lords of the Four Holy Realms in the Xuantian Great Holy Realm. Although this matter was not publicized by anyone, many people in the Three Realms knew about it.
It would be impossible to say that the immortals in the four holy realms of the Xuantian Great Holy Realm have no objections to the Hongmeng Messenger. However, listening to the meaning behind the Dragon King's words, it seems that there is something hidden in it.
"I would like to listen to the Dragon Emperor's words."
Representatives from each of the four holy realms spoke. They also wanted to hear whether the Hongmeng Messenger really had any unknown reasons.
"The Hongmeng envoy once mentioned to Long that the Xuantian Three Realms are about to usher in the Fourth Era catastrophe. If we do not make preparations before the Fourth Era catastrophe, then the creatures in the Hongmeng world will face complete destruction. His old man The reason why this Three Realm Dharma Conference is held is part of the preparation for the great tribulation of the Fourth Era!”
"What?!"
"The catastrophe of the fourth era? What do you mean?"
"Senior Dragon King, you have confused us. What exactly is the great catastrophe of the Fourth Age? Can you explain it more clearly?"
The originally excited crowd in the square fell silent for an instant, and then became agitated again, apparently because these words spoken by the Dragon King were too shocking.
Of course, these people are younger or less experienced immortals. Those old guys who had rich experience and lived for countless years, as well as the venerables of the major holy places and holy realms, all changed their faces. They obviously knew what the catastrophe of the fourth era meant.
"Dragon Emperor, these words were spoken by the Hongmeng envoy himself, not made up by you?"
"Yes, this matter is not trivial. Please don't spread rumors!"
The old guys spoke one after another. Listening to this meaning, they seemed to be unwilling to believe that this matter was true.
However, the Dragon King's response stopped their thoughts.
"How dare Long Yuantong tamper with the words of the Hongmeng envoy? Besides, this is the first time I have heard of this catastrophe of the Fourth Age. How can I make it up?"
"Then what exactly is this fourth era catastrophe?"
Everyone looked at Long Yuantong with doubts.
Like those old guys, Wu Yan's face also became a little ugly. Although he did not know what the great catastrophe of the fourth era was, he did know what the great catastrophe of the first era was.
The great catastrophe of the first era was the catastrophe of darkness. For some reason, the second and third eras that followed were very peaceful, and no horrific catastrophes occurred.
But listening to what the Dragon King said, the Hongmeng envoy actually predicted that a catastrophe would break out in the Fourth Era. If this was true, then it was impossible to predict what kind of disaster the entire Hongmeng world would face.
However, since it dares to be called a catastrophe, it should at least be not far different from the catastrophe of the First Era.
In the first era, the cultivation of the Hongmeng world was so prosperous, but it still failed to defend the Hongmeng fairyland, causing the fairyland to collapse and all living beings to suffer.
The talent of this fourth era has declined to less than one hundred thousandth of that of the Hongmeng era. How can it cope with the upcoming catastrophe?
"I don't know what the fourth era catastrophe is. The Hongmeng envoy did not tell me in detail. However, I believe that you should have heard of the dark catastrophe of the first era. He said that this catastrophe is very likely not weaker than the dark catastrophe of the first era. What does such a catastrophe mean? I believe that you have your own judgment in your hearts, and there is no need for me to say more."
The Dragon Emperor said to everyone with a solemn face.
Everyone was silent again, and many immortals who knew about the dark catastrophe of the first era also looked very ugly.
In that catastrophe, almost all the venerables of the Hongmeng world perished. Even those who did not perish disappeared without a trace later, and no one knew where they went.
But later, according to the low-level immortals who survived the catastrophe, these great ancestors were going to do something that was related to the survival of the entire Hongmeng world. Since the Hongmeng world was not destroyed, these great ancestors probably all perished after doing this thing.
If the fourth era catastrophe really happens, then what kind of fate will the creatures of the Hongmeng world face is simply unimaginable!
"Isn't it alarmist? If there is really a catastrophe coming, why have you never heard the venerables in the upper saint realm mention it?"
"Yes, this matter may not be true."
"Dragon Emperor, the Hongmeng envoy will not think that he wants to expose the previous grievances based on an uncertain news alone?"
Hearing these voices, the Dragon Emperor smiled as if he had expected it.
"Why do you have to complain, fellow practitioners? The Hongmeng Envoy had long anticipated that you would have such complaints, so he prepared this holy place for everyone to practice and comprehend. Long will soon control the Tianwai Tianxian Scroll and go to the place designated by the Hongmeng Envoy to meet up. It will take about ten days. During these ten days, all friends who enter this place can practice and comprehend in this holy place."
"What? Is this true? Can we really practice here?"
"Senior Dragon Emperor, can you introduce us to what kind of place this is? Why is there so much origin aura here? Moreover, many of the origin auras, I don't even know what kind of origin they belong to!"
"Senior Dragon Emperor, what about us? Don't we have any special arrangements? Don't we have other rewards for the geniuses who entered the finals?"
The words of the Dragon Emperor made most of the immortals in the square forget the so-called Fourth Era Catastrophe in an instant, and they only thought about how to gain their own benefits here.
However, some immortals with broad minds and long-term vision showed deep worries in their eyes.
Who is the Hongmeng Envoy? He is a powerful person who defeated the four great saints of the Xuantian Great Saint Realm. Since he dared to assert that the Fourth Era is about to usher in a catastrophe, this is probably true.
In any case, we should prepare early, otherwise when the catastrophe comes, everything will be too late.
"The geniuses who participated in the preliminaries of the Three Realms Dharma Assembly will naturally have other arrangements. In addition to practicing here, you can also use your own tokens to enter the first level of these four water fantasy secret realms to explore and find your own opportunities. The geniuses who make it to the finals can go deep into the second level."
As he spoke, the Dragon Emperor had distributed the tokens he had put away before to each contestant again.
However, this token is different from the previous one. The two thousand geniuses who have qualified for the finals still received the Water Token and the Mountain Token, but the refining method is more sophisticated than before. This token is also the qualification token for the finals of the Three Realms Dharma Assembly.
The more than 2,000 geniuses who failed to be selected received a one-time consumable token. Once activated, the token will disappear when entering any of the four secret realms.
After explaining these rules to everyone, the 100,000 immortals and powerful spectators looked at these geniuses with envy.
Some of the more active immortals and powerful people have even been secretly asking, wanting to exchange tokens from the geniuses who got the one-time tokens at a great price, and enter the four secret realms to find out.
Of course, there are very few people who are really willing to exchange tokens.
"Senior Dragon Emperor, how many levels are there in the four water fantasy secret realms? What conditions are required to enter after the second level?"
The Dragon Emperor shook his head and said, "Sorry, I don't know this either. However, the geniuses who got the opportunity in the first test may have a chance to solve this mystery."
