He was being affected like everything else in the Eternal Immortal Domains, except for the fact… that he sat there cross-legged and unmoving!!
Bai Xiaochun was the only one to react in such a way. Even the Saint-Emperor and Song Que were trembling, as though fetters had suddenly wrapped around them. With immense difficulty, they turned and looked behind them to see the Mortal Renegade… moving!!
As he hovered there in the starry sky, his hands twitched, and then cracking sounds rang out from his head. At the same time, the dirt and rock that had built up on him over the many years began to crack.
First there were dozens of cracks, then hundreds, and soon thousands. Within moments, there were tens of thousands, and with each new one that appeared, his aura grew more shocking!!
The living beings in the Eternal Immortal Domains could hardly think, and in fact, the lands also seemed to be moving upward, albeit very slowly.
As for the Saint-Emperor and Song Que, they were completely overwhelmed by waves of shock.
“He… he….” the Saint-Emperor said shakily, terror shining in his eyes as he watched the cracks spreading out over the surface of the Mortal Renegade.
Song Que’s face was ashen. Both he and the Saint-Emperor had gone all out in their fight with Daoist Heavenspan, and although they had killed him in the end, their battle had only served to reinforce how unimaginably powerful the Mortal Renegade was.
“He’s waking up… ahead of schedule!!” In that moment, the Mortal Renegade’s eyelids twitched, causing massive rumbling sounds to echo out. From the dirt and rocks that were now falling down, it was obvious that the Mortal Renegade was trying to open his eyes!
As for the sealing strip on him that represented the Arch-Emperor, it only took a few short breaths of time for it to vanish completely!
It sounded like a zither string snapping, a sound which filled all of the Eternal Immortal Domains.
And then, for the first time since he had been sealed, the Mortal Renegade’s eyelids… cracked open, revealing something like two suns!!
When those suns appeared in the dark starry sky, they did not shine with blinding light. No, these suns were black, and actually resembled black holes!
And those black holes were none other than… the eyes of the Mortal Renegade!
The Mortal Renegade was waking up!!
In that moment, the sound of a sigh could be heard, seemingly originating from the most ancient of times. It echoed out to fill all creation, filling the starry sky, and even the ruins that were all that remained of the countless living beings that had once existed!
In response to that sigh, the minds of all living beings in the Eternal Immortal Domains reeled, and they immediately snapped out of their reveries. Not even paying attention to how they were now floating up into the air, they all looked up into the sky… at the Mortal Renegade’s eyes!!
There were no cries of alarm, but there were innumerable gasps, as a sense of profound terror and helplessness filled them all.
Then, a voice spoke, profoundly ancient, thrumming as if with the Essence of time, causing everything it reached to age.
“I have awakened for one reason. Extermination….”
In that instant, the Eternal Immortal Domains suddenly began to turn gray….
By now, the Mortal Renegade was completely covered with innumerable cracks. Then, rumbling sounds echoed out as he began his first attempt to move!! Previous Chapter Next Chapter

1292: Dao Clones
As the Mortal Renegade woke up, causing rocks and rubble to rain down off of him, Bai Xiaochun remained cross-legged, seemingly unaffected.
He was withered, his aura apparently dispersed, his eyes closed and his hair floating around him. It was impossible to tell whether he was alive or dead, although there was something profoundly mysterious about him.
For some reason, it seemed that what was sitting there cross-legged was not a human body, but some sort of god!
Out in the starry sky, the ruins where the dandelion seeds had settled were all undergoing shocking transformations.
The glow rising up from them grew stronger, driving away the darkness, and causing life force to flourish, as well as radiance and light.
Spots of light filled the void, seemingly awakening it, causing it to be reborn out of nirvanic extermination!
Before, there had been a pitch-black void, but that was changing. Now, an astounding will seemed to thrum everywhere.
That will caused the darkness to tremble, to begin fighting an epic battle with the radiance and light!
If one could look at that starry sky from high above, it would actually look like an ordinary night sky.
Countless points of light glittered, letting off glows that, while weak, grew powerful as they joined together!
The darkness within the starry sky did not seem willing to be driven away, and tried to inundate the ruins with more darkness. However, that resistance was apparently instinctual, and was not driven by intelligence.
Nirvanic extermination fought with life force in every nook and cranny of the starry sky.
Even stranger, as the light in all of the ruins grew stronger, Bai Xiaochun seemed to become more and more abstruse, and seem more and more like a shocking god.
Although the Mortal Renegade was waking up ahead of schedule, Bai Xiaochun had been at work for years, and had already built a very solid foundation. By now, more than half of the ruins in the starry sky were shining with bright light.
Unfortunately… he had only accomplished that because the Mortal Renegade had been asleep, and unable to oppose him.
Now, the Mortal Renegade was waking up, and while the darkness had only fought back instinctually before, it now seemed to come to life. The starry sky trembled as though it were aware, and the darkness began to resist Bai Xiaochun, and at the same time, attempt to overwhelm the ruins that were already shining with light.
The ruins which had not already been lit up were now under assault, and were already teetering on the verge of failure. As for those which had been lit up already, they were now being battered at madly by the darkness, but still managed to hold their own.
It almost seemed like a stalemate, with Bai Xiaochun preventing the darkness from taking over again, but unable to light up more ruins.
No one could see what was happening, not even Bai Xiaochun. At the moment, he didn’t possess his senses, and was acting on instinct alone. Unfortunately, he was now stuck, and couldn’t continue his work. Meanwhile, in the ruins closest to the Immortal World, there existed a shining dandelion seed. Gradually, the light shining out of that dandelion seed twisted and distorted, transforming into the shape of a person.
It was someone seated cross-legged in meditation, and soon, his facial features became clear. It was Bai Xiaochun!!
It looked like a clone, but at the same time, not a clone. He contained a Dao, and life force, and even Essence power!
No one could see him, but if anyone could, they would have no way to tell whether or not he was the real Bai Xiaochun.
And the truth was that he was actually… a Dao clone!
It was something Bai Xiaochun was doing instinctively as he identified his Dao. Even as that happened, the Mortal Renegade woke up, making it impossible for Bai Xiaochun to continue illuminating the starry sky. Therefore, he shifted to a different tactic!
Instead of spreading further, he would use the fifty percent control that he had… to become a sovereign!!
As soon as his Dao clone appeared, the light shining from that set of ruins grew vastly more intense. The darkness in the area was driven away, provoking a howl of rage. However, there was nothing the darkness could do.
