Chapter 3879

"How did it cause the Dark Strife to break out? Why did Yukia fight with the three hundred Ninth Stage Lords?"

Xerxes said, 'The Acme Path is a myth and has never been verified. It's said to be hidden within the Unknown

Region. No one really knows where it is. Back then, someone spread the news that the Acme Path has opened.

"The Dark World has existed for many years. Throughout these long years, many powerhouses have risen. Those

three hundred Ninth Stage Lords were born in the Dark World during these years.

'The Lord Rank's Ninth Stage is the ultimate rank in cultivation. After hearing of the Acme Path and a new

cultivation rank, many powerhouses naturally wanted to cross into the Acme Path and enter the Acme Rank.

"However, the Acme Path was merely a conspiracy.

"The mastermind spread rumors about the Acme Path to lure out the hidden Ninth Stage Lords in the Dark World to

wipe them out."

Hearing this, James became even more confused.

Could it be that Yukia was the so-called mastermind behind the scene? Was she trying to wipe out the Dark World's

Lords?

From everything known, the theory was highly possible since

Yukia was a creature from the Illuminated World. The Dark World had always been an opposing force to the

Illuminated World. She might have wanted to kill them to ensure the safety of the twelve universes.

James asked, "Could Yukia have wanted to wipe out these Ninth Stage Lords?"

"No." Xerxes shook his head.

James was puzzled. "No?”

Xerxes said, "Although the Acme Path is just a myth to us, it really appeared back then. It’s unknown who released

the news, but it's said another unknown world is at the end of the Acme Path.

'The power in that world is rumored to be very potent. Only by coming in contact with the power in that world can

one surpass the Lord Rank’s Ninth Stage and reach the Acme Rank. However, there's a seal at the end of the Acme

Path. Once it's open, the power of that unknown world will leak out and destroy the Dark World.

'To Ninth Stage Lords, they had lived through and experienced many things. Their only pursuit left in life was to

reach a higher cultivation rank and see a bigger world. These three hundred Ninth Stage Lords wanted to lift the

seal at the end of the Acme Path to come in contact with the power of the unknown world so they could enter a

higher rank.

'To reach their goals, they would stop at nothing.



"Even my ancestor was the same.

"However, someone prevented them from doing so. And that person was none other than the person you’ve

mentioned, Yukia. She did not want the seal at the end of the Acme Path to be lifted. That was why a huge war

broke out. Only the participants in the fight know the truth. No other beings in the Dark World are aware of it.

Hearing this, James had a lot of questions.

"Since the end of the Acme Path is sealed, who was the one that set up the seal? Who released the news? Who was

trying to wipe out these Dark Lords? If getting in contact with the power of this unknown world would allow one to

reach the Acme Rank, then what do you mean the mastermind's goal was to wipe out these Dark Lords?"

Xerxes explained, 'The seal really does exist. However, it's uncertain whether a higher and broader world exists

beyond the seal.

"No one knows who released these rumors.

"Meanwhile, Yukia is the one that claimed the mastermind’s goal was to wipe out the Ninth Stage Lords.

"It’s recorded in the notes left behind by my family’s ancestor that Yukia said the so-called Acme Path was a

conspiracy. Once it opened, one would be contaminated with unknown power. Not only would one be unable to

reach the Acme Rank, but it might also lead to death. Moreover, it would bring devastating consequences to the

Dark World and Illuminated World.

"Of course, these three hundred Ninth Stage Lords did not believe her and thought Yukia was just worried they

would surpass the Lord Rank's Ninth Stage and hence was trying to deceive them by saying it was a conspiracy.

That was why the battle broke out.

"Ultimately, the three hundred Ninth Stage Lords were severely injured. Even Yukia sustained injuries during the

fight. However, an unknown force appeared and wiped out the three hundred Ninth Stage Lords and Yukia along

with them."

"Majority of the Ninth Stage Lords of the Dark World perished. Only a few survived because they did not insist on

entering the Acme Path."
