Chapter 1886: Cosmic Tides!

Chapter 1886: Chapter 1886: Cosmic Tides!

Gazing at the dilapidated houses ahead, a gleam flashed through Wang Mang’s eyes.

Although it was unclear how strong the incoming enemies would be, Wang Mang didn’t harbor much concern in his heart.

With his current strength, aside from people from the top powerhouses, he could easily handle ninety percent of the rest.

As for those who would seek retribution, Wang Mang didn’t pay them much heed.

After all, his strength was evident.

Then, Wang Mang descended from midair and sat cross-legged on the exceptionally flat ground.

Snowflakes gradually began to fall, slowly accumulating on Wang Mang’s body.

In a short span of time, a mound of snow had formed.

A cold wind blew through, revealing a desolate scene.

Wang Mang, however, was unconcerned about the cold; his Large Success Stage of the Soul Refining Overlord Body was completely unaffected.

As his vision was gradually covered by the snowflakes, Wang Mang closed his eyes, only leaving his perception to briefly cover his surroundings.

"Brethren, tell me about any interesting events in the second ring of the universe," Wang Mang communicated with the remnant soul of the ancient god within him.

In a moment, the voice of the ancient god echoed in Wang Mang’s mind:

"Interesting events? Does this place count?"

Hearing this, Wang Mang was momentarily stunned.

Upon recovering, he asked, "What events took place here in the past?"

As soon as his words fell, the voice of the ancient god sounded again:

"This is the universe’s center."

"It’s also the origin of the cosmic tides."

"However, for nearly a thousand years, as the cosmic tides have appeared, this place has surprisingly become a realm where humans reside."

"This is indeed beyond the knowledge I remember."

Hearing this, Wang Mang murmured thoughtfully, "Cosmic tides?"

"Tell me about these cosmic tides."

Wang Mang was familiar with tides, but he had never heard of cosmic tides before.

"The cosmic tides, instead of being actual tides, are like energy storms that erupt in the universe at certain intervals."

"Their energy is predominantly azure blue in color, hence the name ’tide.’"

The words of the ancient god resonated in Wang Mang’s mind, and he felt a sense of novelty.

"What kind of energy erupts specifically? The Power of the Universe?" Wang Mang inquired further.

After a few moments, the voice of the ancient god rang out again:

"The Power of the Universe is impossible; even we of the Ancient God Clan possess very little of the Power of the Universe."

"The cosmic tides are formed from a mix of myriad forces, including the power of the Great Dao and Dao runes."

"As for the specific reason, I am not clear."

"However, the intensity of the cosmic tides, although not formed from any powerful forces, reaches a terrifyingly exaggerated level."

"Even I would need to temporarily evacuate from such a level of energy outbreak."

Hearing this series of words from Him, Wang Mang was greatly astonished.

Was this place really so dangerous in the past?

For a moment, a thought suddenly crossed Wang Mang’s mind.

It wouldn’t happen to erupt while I’m here, would it?

At that instant thought, Wang Mang suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

After completing the mission, I should harvest the other areas and leave as quickly as possible.

That’s what Wang Mang thought.

However, he still had to wait for those people to arrive.

Wang Mang sighed deeply, hoping he wouldn’t be that unlucky.

But it seemed as if every special and unfortunate circumstance had crossed his path.

With this thought, Wang Mang helplessly asked the system, "System, is there anything that can increase fortune?"

It was just an offhand question, yet the system actually responded.

[ Ding! Detecting host’s current requirement! Offering the following item recommendation to the host. ]

[ Mid-rank Level 7 True Treasure Jade Pendant: Valued at 50 million Dao God Crystals! ]

[Explanation: Crafted by an Eternal-Grade sculptor.]

[Introduction: Can turn misfortune into fortune and also increase luck, whether it’s useful or not is known only after trying.]

...

...

[Introduction: From the hands of an Eternal-Grade engraving machine!]

[Note: A true treasure that can change the geomantic layout!]

...

Upon hearing the three items provided by the system, Wang Mang’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.

It really did offer recommendations.

After thinking for a moment, he still spoke to the system, "Purchase the mid-rank Level 7 luck charm."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the system’s voice followed suit:

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! 500,000 Dao God Crystals deducted! Purchase of the item successful!]

Upon hearing this, Wang Mang did not hesitate and immediately said, "Use the luck charm."

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! You have successfully used the item!]

In an instant, a streak of golden light shot out from Wang Mang’s body.

At the same time, the golden luck charm began to burn.

The golden glow dispelled the accumulated snow around Wang Mang.

Staring at the golden light slowly enveloping his body, Wang Mang murmured in thought, "Is this what they call ’aura of fortune’?"

A few breaths later, the golden light around Wang Mang started to fade gradually.

It disappeared into the void like twinkling stars.

He raised his hand to look and felt the inside of his body, Wang Mang frowned.

It didn’t seem like there was any change.

It was just as well; after all, this thing was just for peace of mind.

Wang Mang withdrew his gaze and slowly stood up.

He patted off the nonexistent snow on his clothing and took a deep breath.

His two followers were being cautious because they were concerned about preserving the corpses intact, so naturally, their action was very slow.

Better I take action myself.

With that thought, Wang Mang did not hesitate, and the five strands of the Great Dao power in his body burst out abruptly.

Bang! A sound of breaking through the air rang out, and Wang Mang’s figure suddenly shot up from the ground.

He left behind only a deep pit and flying snowflakes in his original position.

Soon, Wang Mang locked on an area that neither of his followers had touched.

In a few moments, he arrived at his destination.

Standing above this impoverished district, Wang Mang looked down at the chaotic, dirty streets below.

The streets were filled with dark, unidentifiable substances and some disabled ants of people.

Beholding this scene, Wang Mang squinted his eyes.

"Well then, let me help you all escape this sea of misery," he declared.

As soon as the words fell, the pitch-black power of the Great Dao burst forth from Wang Mang’s body all at once.

Darker than the deepest night, darkness descended!

The black Great Devouring Dao instantly enveloped the area.

Its devouring and assimilating properties manifested, starting to erode everything.

At the same time, the Great Devouring Dao inside Wang Mang’s body began to increase slightly.

The Great Devouring Dao consumed these people’s frail bodies, continually assimilating and devouring them.

These people, in a state of confusion, showed terror on their faces when they saw their bodies being devoured and assimilated.

They watched helplessly as their bodies were devoured, and the intense pain that continuously stimulated their nerves.
