Chapter 1439: Under the Red Sunset

Under the Red Sunset

The Hanging Jade Domain.

The aerial base that had been suspended high in the sky for hundreds of years plummeted to the earth amidst deep roars.

All structures of the base disintegrated in the air. Countless walls, pipes, equipment, parts, and even figures fell chaotically and rapidly from high in the sky, like a civilization rainstorm in a specific area, falling in the centermost area of the domain.

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

BOOM BOOM BOOM——

When those countless base fragments smashed into the earth with a roar, and rolling dust flew up, the crowd was finally jolted back to their senses by this thunderous loud noise.

Ever since the Xuanyu Base was established, it had always been suspended high in the sky. Even when the entire Hanging Jade Domain was extended later, it was still like a magnificent and mysterious totem of Belief, engraved on the high heavens of the domain... When the Xuanyu Base disintegrated in public just like this, an unprecedented fear climbed into the hearts of all the citizens.

"The Xuanyu Base... has fallen?"

Jian Changsheng's reaction was merely shock, but the other Esoteric Sect figures on the side were directly dumbfounded... After a brief mental stagnation, the same panic also climbed into their hearts!

Their bodies all trembled unconsciously.

The Xuanyu Base had fallen...

This meant that it was impossible for them to summon the Lord of Hanging Jade.

If so... who could block that Cessation Calamity flapping its wings and blotting out the sky above the Hanging Jade Domain??

Seemingly sensing the fear of the Hanging Jade Domain, that skeletal giant dragon shrouding the sky above the domain slowly opened its sinister giant mouth. As its wings flapped, the surrounding air was squeezed and exploded, and a deafening dragon roar resounded through the clouds!!

ROAR——!!!!!

The oppressive feeling of a World-Ending Calamity ran amok unscrupulously within the domain, as if announcing that this domain that had lost the Xuanyu Base had already become its territory.

Just as Jian Changsheng was in endless shock, a hand reached out from underground and tugged at his trouser leg.

Jian Changsheng looked down, slightly taken aback,

"Clubs?"

Only to see Jiang Xiaohua with half his head sticking out of the ground, looking at him seriously: "Spades... Diamonds said the Hanging Jade Domain is already finished, asking you to quickly find a chance to leave the battlefield. We're going to run away."

Jian Changsheng: ???

Just as Jian Changsheng was about to say something, a burst of exclamations came from the side!

"What is that?!!!"

Everyone's gazes followed that person's finger.

A touch of red spread out from beyond the firmament. Only to see that in that unreachable sky, a crimson shooting star dragging a long tail, like a scarlet long scar from deep space of the universe, was approaching straight towards the crowd...

It was like a pollution source possessing extremely strong radiation. As it approached, the red color in the sky became increasingly dense. In just a short ten seconds or so, a piece of incomparably eerie red sunset had already blotted out the entire firmament!!

Its radiation had already reached the surface of the Earth.

"Bzz Bzz Bzz Bzz Bzz..."

At this moment, all electromagnetic communications in the domain were interrupted.

The electric lights all over the domain extinguished at the same time. The power generation devices had all stopped working. The steam-driven cars on the road that could originally still be used completely malfunctioned... And as that shooting star approached, more and more creations of human civilization gradually became invalid.

And at this time, the people on the battlefield fundamentally couldn't perceive the occurrence of these changes. Their most intuitive feeling was...

The Calamities, had entered a near-manic state!

These Calamities from the Vain Mountains, the instant that red sunset blotted out the sky, were like having the deepest fear instinct in their hearts hooked out. From the Second-Tier little Calamities to the Eighth-Tier terrifying existences, all trembled violently without exception. That kind of dying panic and urgency thoroughly occupied their bodies!

ROAR ROAR ROAR ROAR———!!

Rising and falling hisses and roars sounded from the Calamity tide. They began to impact the domain defense line even more desperately, Risking One's Life.

"It's the Red Star!! The Red Star has returned!!"

"Damn it, this time it looks like it's coming straight for Earth!!"

"These Calamities are like crazy. I can't hold out much longer!"

"It's over... Everything is over."

"..."

The appearance of the Red Star didn't just make the Calamities go berserk; humanity itself also began to fall into chaos.

Huai Meng, who was on the battlefield with red eyes slaughtering the berserk Calamities, had just torn a Skin Sack Gray Rat in half when he felt a palm rest on his shoulder from behind. Having already killed until his eyes were red, he violently twisted his body, and an invisible Long Sword slashed back in an instant...

In the next second, the blade of the Long Sword froze in front of Tian Huai's throat.

"... Brother?"

"Little Meng, come with me." Tian Huai's face was full of exhaustion, but his gaze looking at Huai Meng was incomparably firm.

Huai Meng was somewhat blank, "Brother, the Calamity attacks are getting fiercer now, I can't just..."

Snap——!

As Tian Huai snapped his fingers, Huai Meng's body abruptly stiffened, as if entwined by invisible silk threads one after another, unable to move a single bit.

Huai Meng's eyes were full of disbelief. He didn't know what exactly Tian Huai wanted to do. And Tian Huai merely gave him a complex look, then directly picked up his body and ran wildly in the opposite direction towards the safe zone behind the defense line!

Tian Huai's speed was extremely fast. In just over ten seconds, he had already crossed the battlefield and arrived in front of a massive workshop...

Pitch-black tracks extended outwards from within the workshop. On the tracks, a domain train was already ready and waiting.

Under the firmament where red light surged, figures were bustling about on the domain train, checking the condition of this last train. At this time, quite a few figures were already queuing to board, but there were still many empty seats in the carriages.

After arriving here, Tian Huai released the control over Huai Meng's mouth. Before he could say anything, Huai Meng widened his eyes and shouted loudly:

"I don't want to leave the Hanging Jade Domain!!"

"Little Meng!!" Tian Huai also spoke sternly, "There is already no hope for the Hanging Jade Domain. No matter what, you must leave here alive..."

"Then why is it only me? Everyone is fighting to the death on the frontline. I don't want special treatment, I can't be a deserter!"

"Do you think it's because you are my younger brother that I let you board the train in advance??" Tian Huai said in a deep voice,

"No... I brought you here because you are Huai Meng, the holder of the Heaven-Reaching Star Position! You are the future that humanity focuses on cultivating! This train was originally opened for you..."

Huai Meng froze in place.

"Our Esoteric Sect, cannot all die here... Between us brothers, someone has to leave alive." After Tian Huai finished speaking, he forcefully pushed Huai Meng into the train carriage. Those eyes were incomparably complex.

He turned his head and said towards the front of the train: "Start the train!"

The roar of steam sounded. Driven by the power, the train slowly moved outwards...

Huai Meng, whose body was bound by silk threads, just stood stiffly in the carriage just like that. Those widened eyes watched Tian Huai, tears welling up!

However, just as the train had driven out less than a hundred meters, a muffled loud noise came from the front of the train!

In the next second,

The train slowly stalled under the red sunset filling the sky.
