Chapter 3135: Heavenly Disaster
And in the Flash Gold Plains' Fallen Dragon Mountain, Mu Kingdom's White Ling Plains, and even Bi Kingdom, which had just sacrificed its entire capital, and so on—about six hundred or more regions—another anomaly also appeared:
People discovered that the water in their cups and basins began to tremble slightly, then turned into large and small water droplets, which astonishingly floated upward!
Since the creation of heaven and earth, water flowing downward has been the norm; no one has heard of going against this principle.
But this time, not only did water flow upward, even the cups, plates, pots, and basins inside rooms left their original table surfaces; afterward, tables, chairs, human bodies, plants—everything rose into the sky!
The sensation was like swimming in water, as if the air had gained buoyancy, lifting everything upward.
Gravity had become abnormal.
Things that lost gravity just floated and floated, flew and flew, until they were two or three hundred zhang above the ground, when people began to struggle to breathe, their bodies started to feel the cold, and then—
This mysterious buoyancy just vanished!
The countless things that had been lifted into the sky, including people, came crashing down with a clatter!
And in the capital of Cangyan, the four watchtowers at the city corners had already begun to ring early.
Tonight, the sentries were granted temporary authority to cross the Hao Yuan Golden Mirror and rush straight to Du Shan:
"Report, four massive land tornadoes have suddenly formed in the southwest, the nearest twenty li away, rapidly approaching Ju City!" Land tornadoes? Du Shan opened the Hao Yuan Golden Mirror and took a look, breaking out in a cold sweat!
Outside Ju City lay the plains, which had previously been dry, with little rain and few trees; before the founding of Cangyan, tornadoes occasionally occurred here. But in recent years, with abundant spiritual energy and lush vegetation, no one under twenty in Ju City had ever seen a tornado.
Yet the tornadoes displayed in the Hao Yuan Golden Mirror now each had a maximum diameter exceeding two li, stretching from ground to sky, with unknown wind strength at the core, constantly sucking up vast amounts of dust, soil, and vegetation from the ground into the high atmosphere!
Even from afar, they looked utterly oppressive.
Their power was no less than that of the Ziwu Divine Wind on Fengmo Mountain in the past; after all, this is a rare celestial phenomenon, gathering the divine might of heaven and earth.
Such terrifying tornadoes—there are actually four of them!
"Activate the city's Wind-Fixing Formation and Defensive Formations!" Du Shan issued a long string of orders, then said, "All fourteen formations at full power, full energy supply. Also, release the Wind Demon!"
The little Wind Demon from Fengmo Mountain in the past had long taken root and lived on Ju City's plains for over twenty years. As a local mountain and marsh spirit, it enjoyed the imperial nectar irrigation of the wilderness and received support from Ju City, living more comfortably than its predecessors, and had become a formidable monster. Du Shan sending it out to counter the wind was precisely a professional match.
Upon receiving the command, it immediately rushed toward the tornadoes.
Tonight is the moment of divine initiation; Ju City's military and civilians were already on standby and on high alert; Du Shan's orders were issued smoothly, and the fourteen formations were quickly activated.
When the light of the formation barriers enveloped the entire city, everyone's hearts eased slightly.
At this moment, the land tornadoes also arrived. The Wind Demon did its best, the tornadoes' size was somewhat reduced, but human strength cannot contend with heaven; the Wind Demon only managed to deflect the first tornado slightly off course, while the other three still charged straight at Ju City, mighty and menacing!
In the blink of an eye, they struck Ju City's barrier.
Amid the yellow-black raging wind, the barrier's light appeared pure yet fragile.
Everyone held their breath, anxiously praying in silence.
After an unknown amount of time, two tornadoes successively rolled over Ju City's formations and headed toward the mountains.
While the third had just reached the city gate, it suddenly vanished.
It truly dissipated in place; after a few gusts of wild wind, the sky cleared again, and the surroundings of the city returned to calm and tranquility.
The disappearance of these tornadoes was just as sudden as their appearance.
Ju City waited a while longer before daring to dismantle the barrier; soldiers went out to inspect, and everywhere were trees uprooted, the grassland turned upside down, exposing bare earth.
In the wake of the previous storm, roadside inns and villages were completely destroyed!
From then on, the Wang Ting of Ju City began receiving urgent disaster reports from all over the country. By dawn, over two thousand cases of heavenly disasters had been reported nationwide, with personnel, property, farmland, and infrastructure severely damaged, temporarily impossible to tally.
Cangyan is fundamentally not the main battlefield of the demon war, yet it suffered this unprovoked heavenly disaster—so the situation at the war's center can be imagined. Du Shan, busy and flustered, also worried about the Emperor and the Cangyan army's situation on the Bei Jia front. Clearly, tonight's heavenly disaster is inseparable from the Immortal-Demon War. What state must the front line reach to cause repercussions as far as the Flash Gold Plains?
And on the Lingxu City battlefield, He Lingchuan had just arrived at the front when he heard a low, ominous rumble from beyond the horizon, and the ground also trembled.
An earthquake?
Not long after, a report came from the rear:
The Panggu Mountain side branch southwest of Lingxu City suddenly collapsed!
The Panggu Mountain range covers a vast area, a region the alliance had long conquered; there are six towns and nineteen villages there, and besides stockpiling supplies, the alliance had recently urgently reinforced two strongholds there, serving as the rear supply and reserve great camp for the southwest region.
This collapse of the side branch directly destroyed three towns, and buried two towns and seven villages alive.
Six reduced to one.
Fortunately, the sole surviving Panggu Town was exactly one of the strongholds the alliance had reinforced.
Liu Yidao said with a grim face: "It doesn't look like the work of a Great Heaven Demon—Panggu Mountains are too far away, and it's not our main logistics; there's no need to specifically destroy that place."
A Great Heaven Demon is such a precious combat force; using it to attack the southwest logistics base would truly be wasteful.
"Not a Great Heaven Demon." He Lingchuan glanced at the sky, "Probably the laws of the Boundless have been disturbed. As the saying goes, pull one hair and move the whole body; a slight change in the Boundless causes storms and waves in the human world!" That's why the Boundless does not allow living beings to enter—it is where the heavenly order resides, and if the Red General and Lingxu Holy Sovereign casually damage even a little, all beings on earth will immediately suffer.
"Ah, what should we do?" the Soul-Capturing Mirror shouted angrily, "Since the laws caused the mountain to collapse, why didn't it collapse in Lingxu City!"
If Lingxu City had collapsed, their attack would have been much easier.
As his words fell, the battlefield direction also trembled, accompanied by a few muffled 'crack' sounds, as if coming from deep underground.
"Damn grass!" the Blood Demon exclaimed in shock, "Mirror, your mouth has been enlightened!"
"Ah, did I guess right?" the Soul-Capturing Mirror first startled, then delighted, proudly saying, "My mouth has been enlightened!"
The ground fissure of the Pang Support Mountain Range transmitted all the way to the side of Lingxu City, affecting the southern battlefield. But by ill fortune, it stopped just before reaching the interior of Lingxu City.
The alliance watched, feeling vexed and stomping their feet, repeatedly saying how regrettable.
The front line gate board, however, sent back good news:
"The outer side of the southeast city gate's wall has been shaken askew!"
Though Lingxu City's walls were built to be extremely solid, in the face of such natural might, they could only appear inadequate.
The Earth Mother immediately reported a piece of good news: "De""Qi""Xiao""Shuo""Wang""Shou""Da""Geng""Xin"
"The foundation of the southeast city gate has sunk, with some cracks and some displacement."
