Mountains shook, flames spread, and destruction was omnipresent.
Houses were burning, corpses were seen almost everywhere.
Ar hu was feeling dizzy and confused at the same time. There were two people in front of him looking coldly at him. One of them was a mighty-looking goblin and the other was a cyan-robed priest.
The cyan-robed priest was chanting some strange mantra but Ar hu felt as if the entire sky was weighing down on him.
He was bleeding all over and his robe was dyed red. Contrary to his own expectation his tribe could not hold a single chance against this mighty army.
Each side had a specific reason to attack their tribe.
The goblin tribe wanted the legacy of the daybreaker tribe, while the cult of the sky angel worshipped the sky as their deity and could not sit still when their figure of worship was split open.
But the yellow-robbed beast tamers had come here on their own accord to slay his entire tribe nothing more. Over the years Ar hu had created some deep enmities, this particular group had suffered quite a lot in the past because of him.
Suddenly he felt something wrong and as he looked from far he saw a sight that sent chills deep into his very bones.
Countless, Daybreaker clansmen lay dead and among the scattered corpses there was a gorgeous figure who had a bloodied face and was critically injured.
She looked like a flower that had its petals plucked out as she stood valiantly not falling and fighting till her last breath.
A part of Ar hu wanted to rush and save her but another part wanted to focus on fulfilling 'his' dream.
Unknowing to him the wishes of his ancestors had changed him and the tribe's dream became his dream. The term 'dream' was an understatement.
The current Ar hu had developed an 'obsession'. The obsession was transforming into something more complex and mysterious.
It is said that when one reaches the 'unity' realm his entire body, soul and spirit would be in perfect harmony and would give birth to an 'essence soul'.
The essence soul was the result of the solidification of the soul and it was the way to progress in the unity realm.
But to others, it seemed as if Ar hu's essence soul was becoming a different person.
The chief of the goblin tribe was cautious and he slowed his attacks to observe the situations. The goblins were a lowly race in the very beginning and were able to survive in the crevices of the world before they gradually grew stronger.
So they had an innate sense of sensing danger. The cult master of the sky angel's cult also paused before trapping Ar hu inside of a strange cage-like restriction.
But a yellow-robed old man near them sneered and said with a tone filled with schadenfreude, "Ar hu are you feeling well now? Your totem's power is about to be depleted and now you will watch as I chop your wife into pieces!"
This old man had a deep enmity with Ar hu as the latter defeated and murdered his beloved son for contesting against him in a treasure hunt.
He had vowed on his soul that day that he would kill Ar hu miserably and slaughter everyone dear to him in front of his eyes.
After seeing the mass genocide in front of his eyes he was definitely overjoyed and this would be the icing on top of the cake.
"After this, I will find your daughter and beat her to death! Only then can my son's soul can peacefully leave this world."
Ar hu went into a frenzy and laughed like a maniac as he attempted to break the cage he was placed in.
But he knew inwardly that going mad won't save anyone.
The yellow-robed old man licked his lips in satisfaction after seeing this and summoned a large green-shaded lion.
"Little green let's do this together!" As the old man commanded the lion's mane transformed into many blades and the old man also let out several fireballs.
Together they fused and turned into a comet racing at Ar hu's seriously injured wife. The world grew fiery and its heat was burning the surrounding regions.
But when it was landing the entire thing disappeared altogether.
It was replaced by a shriveled old man who looked very similar to the old tribe leader. Although he was dying he had managed to block an attack of a unity realm powerhouse.
As he looked at the destroyed tribe and the corpses that lay near him including those of the ten sacred warriors whom he had known his entire life.
"We have sinned Little hu! Our dream killed everyone here and it is our responsibility. This is all I can do for you. I hope you can survive." he spoke as his body trembled violently.
Suddenly he blew up and a green-red light erupted.
~Boom!~
Ar hu whimpered and felt dizzy after listening to his mentor's words. He kneeled and started sobbing.
"I have sinned...I have let everyone down!!!" his voice was tragic and he sounded like a wounded lion.
~Sigh!~
A loud sigh was heard and all of the experts looked in the direction of the sigh.
It was a petite woman wearing blood-stained robes. But Ar hu's wife was no longer pale but instead it was filled with determination.
She looked at Ar hu and continued, "Let me help you husband and consider it as a parting gift of the daybreaker tribe's saintess 'Ai Na'. I hope this helps you in escaping with our daughter."
"This is my legacy!"
She still had her omnipresent smile as she suddenly burst into a blood mist with a smile on her pale face.
The blood mist did not fade away instead, it formed the shape of a butterfly and seemingly teleported to Ar hu's forehead and it faded away to leave behind a silver mark. It was the symbol of the day breaker clan.
Before anyone else could react the totem protecting the entire tribe collapsed and a massive vortex surrounded around Ar hu.
But what happened next shocked the living daylights of the people gathered here. Ar hu split into two! It was as if he suddenly gained a clone.
The three unity realm experts frowned as their eyesight was naturally better than everyone and they could see that the two Ar hu was completely different from each other.
One had scarlet blooded eyes and had the intention to stomp the heavens by the foot while the other had a kind and caring expression.
One was the Ar hu's obsession while the other was the former kind and caring Ar hu.
Suddenly the 'kind' one teleported and all of the corpses on the battlefield disappeared including Ar hu's daughter.
As the experts were going to follow the other one opened his eyelids and roared, "I shall sever the sky and create my path! The path of the 'daybreaking' demon!
~Shualaa~
A black beam emerged from the figure and struck the sky.
Before anyone on the battlefield could react they felt that the sky was collapsing and a colossal hole appeared and the sun and the stars disappeared.
The light was displaced by darkness and even before anyone could move almost everyone was split open. The darkness on the horizon attacked the three supreme experts and they were erased from existence in a split second.
The land shook and the seas churned. Within a minute the entire central continent broke into countless pieces.
A single-action destroyed a massive continent!
The era of tribes ended at this moment as only a small amount of tribes survived this ordeal and relocated on the remnants of the central continent.
Only a dark pair of eyes remained and it looked over the entire world as it said to itself, "Indeed even quasi-demon such as myself could destroy an entire continent! I wonder if true demons exist at all?"
As it spoke the world trembled under its feet. It continued to murmur as the darkness faded to reveal the light once again.
"Who am I? An obsession? A person? Can I find salvation?" A silent voice remained even as it faded away.
But no one could forget the legendary being that split open the sky. A being that casually destroyed an entire continent on its own.
A being that replaced the day with the night, ending an entire era with a wave of his hand.
"Daybreaker the progenitor of obsession was born!"
