Chapter 1354: Collapse

Collapse

Hanging Jade Domain.

Wind and sand danced in the air, and mighty Calamities crashed into the edge of the Domain overwhelmingly. Numerous figures charged into the battlefield from the rear one after another, and Divine Path Skills crazily smashed towards the Calamity wave. Looking down from the sky, a clear blood-colored boundary spread between the two...

"Damn it, wave after wave, are they really tireless?!" A member of the Esoteric Sect roared, his eyes full of bloodshot streaks.

"The southeast side is about to fail, someone quickly go support them!"

"Understood!"

Several figures immediately withdrew from the battlefield, preparing to move towards the southeast. But in the next moment, several jackal Calamities floated down lightly from the sky. Pairs of red-tinged eyes stared dead at the few people, as if filled with hatred.

As the high-tier jackal leading them opened its bloody mouth, a sharp wolf howl erupted instantly!

Swish——!

Even so, they still didn't die immediately. But the pain of their skin being stripped away crazily stimulated their senses, the severe pain making them wail hysterically!

The bloody people twisted and howled. This scalp-tingling scene constantly impacted the minds of the surrounding Esoteric Sect figures...

Even though they had seen this scene many times on the battlefield, every time they saw it, they would still be endlessly terrified.

"Retreat!! Retreat!!"

"Didn't I tell you to let the puppets go in front?! Puppets don't have skin, let them lead the charge!"

"With the consumption over so many days, the puppets are already not enough. Even if logistics are rushing to make them day and night, it still can't keep up with the speed of consumption, Captain!"

"Fuck..."

"High-tier Combat Power is still lacking... Where's General Jian? When will General Jian come back??"

"I don't know, there's still no news of him yet..."

"Think of all ways to find him quickly!!"

While everyone was talking, Huai Meng's figure descended from the sky, landing straight amidst that group of jackal Calamities.

"Slash." Huai Meng's hem fluttered in the wind. A cold light flashed in his pupils, and a sword shadow swept out horizontally, directly cleaving several nearby Calamities in half.

"You guys continue to guard here. I'll go support the southeast."

After Huai Meng lightly dropped a sentence, he flew out again, passing through the turbulent Calamity wave, charging straight towards the other side of the defense line.

Huai Meng's appearance undoubtedly greatly reduced the pressure on the Esoteric Sect members responsible for this vicinity. Watching that retreating back, they let out sighs of relief one after another...

A young member among them cautiously stepped forward. Seeing those comrades' corpses whose skin had been peeled off, the bloody flesh and bones just exposed in the air, his Adam's apple immediately bobbed, and he ran directly to the side to dry heave:

"These Calamities... what the hell are they?"

...

The Great Crimson Theatrical Robe walked slowly along the twisted city ruins.

On the building wreckage around him, the massive black and red centipede followed his speed, moving bit by bit. This one person and one bug just explored deeper into the city amidst the snowflake-like ashes. The vicinity was deadly silent, apart from the rustling sounds of Wu Yi's centipede legs crawling.

Along the way, Chen Ling hadn't seen a single human, not even a single corpse... Everywhere he looked, there were only material remains left behind by human civilization.

Deeply buried high-rises, shattered roads, abandoned vehicles, messy electrical wires...

The only thing related to "humans" was perhaps only the scattered clothes one by one.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Ling bent down and picked up a women's fur coat from the roadside. Next to it was also a small backpack, looking exquisite and elegant, seemingly from an expensive luxury brand.

"Do people in this world all love wearing fur coats so much?"

Chen Ling muttered to himself.

Along the way, seventy percent of the clothes Chen Ling saw were fur coats, and they were the kind with quite good workmanship. Deerskin, mink, and even many animal fabrics that Chen Ling couldn't recognize; they might even be the fur of rare animals...

Of course, "rare" was only relative to the world Chen Ling was in. Perhaps in this parallel world, those animals were numerous.

Chen Ling even guessed that the clothing in this world being primarily fur coats was also because its climate was relatively extreme, and textile technology was not developed. Man-made fabrics here might conversely be even more expensive.

The deeper he explored, the more Chen Ling could feel that although this place was very similar to the Earth he was on, the technological direction and cultural background were vastly different. Clothing was just one of them.

"... Hmm?"

Chen Ling suddenly stopped walking, his brows furrowing slightly, "Wu Yi, did you hear any sound?"

The black and red centipede entrenched on the roof of a landmark building to the side also suddenly seemed to have noticed something. Its massive body instantly tensed up. Almost simultaneously, the gray ground beneath it, which had buried more than half of the building, began to shake violently!

The dust floating in the air, as if subjected to some kind of gravitational pull, approached beneath Wu Yi like a vortex, followed by the crushed stones scattered on the ground...

Immediately after, the fur coat in Chen Ling's hand also floated up, as if someone was pulling the other side of the clothes, wanting to drag it away!

"Not good!" Feeling the gravity he was subjected to unexpectedly change, Chen Ling immediately shouted loudly,

"Run quickly!!"

Before Chen Ling spoke, Wu Yi had already leapt down from the building. In the next moment, the space-time deep underground seemed to begin collapsing. A giant black hole shadow slowly rotated, and all the matter in the surroundings was like pool water with the plug pulled out, sweeping towards there at astonishing speed!

Crushed stones, clothes, streetlights, signboards, vehicles, buildings... Even space-time twisted visibly to the naked eye. Terrifying suction force entangled Chen Ling and Wu Yi, forcibly dragging them towards that black hole!

Wu Yi's hisses sounded one after another. Relying on its massive body and Rank 8 strength, it could only barely contend against that collapsed space-time. Its countless centipede legs could be seen swinging rapidly in the void, like a spaceship struggling bitterly in front of a black hole, having already raised its power to the limit.

As for Chen Ling on the side, he was almost directly pulled into the black hole by the collapsing space-time. Fortunately, the moment his figure soared into the air, his theatrical robe turned from red to black. Strands of hair fluttered in the void, and the terrifying World-Ending Aura directly broke free from the shackles of gravity, forcibly stepping on the void and flashing outwards!

"What kind of broken place is this?!" The black-robed Chen Ling roared angrily in a low voice.

The dead and silent grayish-white snowflakes were shredded by the vortex, constantly converging towards the center. All matter within a radius of several kilometers was swept over, and even the ground surface was lifted up. In just over ten seconds, the originally messy city ruins were sucked out into a completely empty vacuum zone.
