Chapter 2560: The Domineering Firmament Palace

In the vast expanse of air, there was a young man dressed in a yellow. He had black, flowing locks and deep-looking eyes.

That young man was none other than Su Mo!

Su Mo took a deep breath as he looked at the countless stars in the starry sky far, far away.

Such tranquility would be broken as this peaceful universe would fall into chaos before long.

Troubled times were about to begin, and he would be the initiator. It was he would bring about the decline of the entire universe.

The disappearance of the Deity Plane meant the downfall of the Wasteland. If he could not transcend the era, the Wasteland would sink until it perished.

Su Mo breathed in and breathed out. Out of his mouth came the black Zhen Yuan Pearl.

Hum~ Hum~

The space shook, and two figures emerged from the Zhen Yuan Pearl. They were the Chaotic Lord and the Grand Elder of the Chaotic Tribe, Hun Sheng.

“Sir, this is the Nether Universe!” Su Mo stated.

“Not bad!” Grand Elder Hun Sheng looked around and nodded. This long-lost starry sky had almost disappeared from his memory.

In the last years of the Archean Age, when the Deity Plane had been created by a few Archean ancient masters, he had been but a teenager. In the blink of an eye he had lost count of how much time had passed.

So much had changed!

Stars were more than abundant in the Wasteland Universe during the Archean Age, but after the Deity Plane’s countless years of consumption the number of stars remaining in the universe today was unknown.

“Su Mo, leave the destruction of the foundation base to Hun Sheng and me. You may practice in peace!” The Chaotic Lord looked around and said to him.

“Right!” Su Mo nodded and, after a pause, asked, “Sir, how much time do you need?”

This was a key point. If it took too long, Di Yihun could break through before the task could be finished.

“Half a year should do it!” said the Chaotic Lord firmly. Although the formation base of Deity Plane was difficult to destroy and required Hun Sheng and him to join forces, they did not have to destroy the entire formation base.

There were a total of nine thousand, nine hundred, and ninety-nine formation flags on the formation base of the Deity Plane, but as long as one percent was destroyed, the entire Plane would collapse.

“Right then, I shall return to the Guzhou Star of the Ancientspirit Galaxy in the Infinite Region. Once you destroy the Deity Plane, you can look for me!” Su Mo nodded and said.

“Go then!” the Chaotic Lord waved at him. As he spoke, his divine thoughts had already been released and searching for the formation base.

The Chaotic Lord’s divine thoughts were unimaginably strong. They were able to cover a realm in the Deity Plane, and in the Lower Plane they could cover half a galaxy.

Once his divine thoughts got out, they immediately located hundreds of formation bases.

“Right!” Su Mo nodded before he made himself scarce and ventured to his next destination.

He had only flown a few hundred miles when he suddenly stopped. He turned around to look at the Chaotic Lord and Grand Elder Hun Sheng, then asked, “Sir, God’s Path won’t be destroyed along with the formation base, right?”

God’s Path was a very special place. It served as a kind of space node, and was the junction overlapping the universe and the Deity Plane.

“God’s Path will disappear, but the people there will return to the universe, don’t worry!” the Chaotic Lord said aloud. He knew best about the existence of God’s Path.

“That’s good to know!” Su Mo said, relieved, then he left for good.

Next, the Chaotic Lord and Grand Elder Hun Sheng began to take action. They flew towards the stars of a formation at an indescribably terrifying speed.

Within the universe, due to weak space, strong fighters such as the Chaotic Lord and Grand Elder Hun Sheng became unimaginably quick.

Su Mo sprinted in the sky. He found a random star and inquired about the current star field, which turned out to be the Ancient Region.

Subsequently, Su Mo clarified the direction, and moved on to Guzhou Star.

Su Mo’s thoughts scattered as he sprinted in the starry sky. He had never thought that he would one day get to this point in the Wasteland.

He knew countless lives would be lost because of him, and countless more would be left homeless, but there was nothing he could fo.

The turn of events was already out of control. Whatever happened next would depend on luck and methods.

He was not going too fast. As he headed to Guzhou Star, his body was condensing energy.

Time flew. Five months later, he arrived at Guzhou Star.

The area of the Nether Universe was extremely large, far larger than the Deity Plane by a hundred thousand times or more! The Ancient Region was much further away than the Ancientspirit Galaxy in the Infinite Region. Even though Su Mo’s speed was many times faster than it was when he was at the Deity Plane, it still took his a whole five months.

Boom!

Su Mo landed in the air above the Firmament Palace. He released his powerful aura, so much so that the starry sky roared and the stars trembled.

“Master!”

“Master’s back!”

Right then, the entire Firmament Palace was in a sensation as crowds of people bustled out from a dozen hilltops. Everyone noticed Su Mo floating above the mountain gate and flew out to meet him.

“At your service, Master!”

“At your service, Master!”

“At your service, Master!”

All of a sudden, what sounded like a tsunami shuddered the barren land, shaking up the whole Guzhou Star in its wake.

Countless disciples of the Firmament Palace knelt down and bowed to Su Mo respectfully.

In the Guzhou Star, in the Ancientspirit, and perhaps even the entire Infinite Region, Su Mo was a legendary presence.

Just then, Yin Tianchou, the present Palace Master of the Firmament Palace, flew out and was surprised to see him, “Su Mo, why are you back again?”

Su Mo had just visited not so long ago, and now he was back again!

“I’ll talk about that later!” Su Mo smiled as he looked at everyone, then he said aloud, “From today onwards, you all shall not call me Master. Instead, call me Grand Supreme Lord!”

He had never liked the term ‘Master’. It seemed to over-emphasize his age.

“T-This…!”

The people of Firmament Palace exchanged glances, then looked at Yin Tianchou.

“The Grand Supreme Lord has given his orders, shouldn’t you comply with that?” Yin Tianchou glared at them and spoke in a dignified tone.

“Yes, Grand Supreme Lord!”

They bowed in acknowledgement, their voices booming with a majestic demeanor.

“Rise!”

Su Mo waved, then he looked at Yin Tianchou and said, “Let’s talk inside.”

And so Yin Tianchou guided him into the Firmament Palace.

The last time Su Mo came, he had not stayed. This time, he had actually entered through the mountain gate. What a surprise!

There were only Su Mo and Yin Tianchou in the palace. Not a single disciple or elder was in sight.

“Su Mo, I shall resign from my position as Palace Master some time later, and make my way to God’s Path! And then you show up!” Yin Tianchou said with a smile on his pale face. He could not wait to go to God’s Path.

To him, or perhaps to all those who followed Su Mo from the Firmament World, martial arts was the true pursuit. Not power.

He had been very busy as the Firmament Palace Master, and this had severely restricted his training.

Initially, when he had been in the Dark Region of the Firmament World, he had been one of the top on the Board of Thousand Favoured Ones. He had fought with Su Mo in the Haze City Death Row Arena, and had participated in the fight for Billion Demonic Swords. But now, he was already far behind Su Mo!

“Tianchou, the Universe is going to undergo a grave change soon. You have to gather the disciples of the Firmament Palace as quickly as possible, assign someone to the God’s Path, and fetch everyone back!” Su Mo shook his head and he dove straight into important matters.

“Ah! What’s going on?” Yin Tianchou asked, apparently shocked.

“The Deity Plane will soon collapse, and the gods shall descend upon the Universe!” Su Mo said in a deep voice.

“What?” Yin Tianchou said, his eyes almost popping out as he stood up in fright. It was all too unbelievable to him.

“The D-Deity Plane is collapsing?” He was terribly taken aback by the news. He could not believe his ears.

Anyone else would have been shocked to hear that too.

To the people of the Universe, the Deity Plane was God’s Kingdom, the place which everyone yearned for and would devote their lives in the pursuit of reaching.

If anyone else had told Yin Tianchou this news, he would not have heeded it at all. But this was Su Mo telling him, and Yin Tianchou had to take his word.

“That’s right. It should have begun now, you’ve better get a move on quick!” Su Mo nodded heavily.

“Sure! Got it!” Yin Tianchou nodded, still shocked. He simply could not imagine why the Deity Plane would collapse.

“Oh, by the way, how are the forces of our Firmament Palace operating?” Su Mo asked.

“Our Firmament Palace is currently the overlord of the Infinite Region. We have not stepped foot in the other three Regions. As for the Ancientspirit Galaxy, all other forces submit to it. It’s quite a stumbling block!” said Yin Tianchou.

The Firmament Palace dominates the Ancientspirit Galaxy, as well as the Infinite Region. It’s not his work. When Su Mo first ventured to God’s Path, the Firmament Palace had already domineered the Infinite Region.

Of course, only the forces in the Ancientspirit Galaxy had submitted to them. The major forces in other Regions had only yielded to the Firmament Palace on the surface.

“Great!” Su Mo nodded and said, “Do what I tell you, and quickly. Also, find me a quiet chamber!”

“Alright!” Yin Tianchou nodded. After that, he led Su Mo to the usual hidden chamber that he himself used for seclusion and then he left..
