Chapter 1659: Destruction Descends

Destruction Descends

Spirit Void Domain, Mt. Lingxu.

A figure ran rapidly along the rugged mountain path. His footsteps were hasty and messy, looking incredibly anxious.

Mt. Lingxu remained as eternally quiet as ever, but the Spirit Void Domain behind him was noisy and chaotic. The shadow of a massive tower, surrounded by numerous figures like ants, was gradually stacking upwards.

This figure rushed up the mountain path in one breath and arrived at the peak of Mt. Lingxu. Before even seeing a figure, he shouted with all his might:

"Lord of Spirit Void!! Something major has happened!!"

"Red King Chen Ling assassinated the two Lords! Slaughtered everyone in Hidden Clouds!!"

"Just now, Li Shengmen and the others were drawn by Pitch-pot, seemingly going to the Hidden Clouds Domain... Now the star lamps of the six great Celestial Star Positions have also all extinguished!!!"

"Hidden Clouds destroyed, two Lords dead, the group of stars wiped out..."

The anxious voice echoed in front of the Ancient Temple. As the figure forcefully pushed open the ancient temple doors, his entire person froze in place.

He saw a youth wearing a gray monk robe sitting on the pebble ground with messy hair. In front of him was placed a Chessboard filled with black and white Chess Pieces. At this moment, he was holding a white piece in his hand, as if hesitating about something...

Seeing the Lord of Spirit Void so immersed, that subordinate subconsciously doubted whether he hadn't heard. Just as he was about to repeat it, the Lord of Spirit Void spoke faintly:

"I know, go down."

Seeing this, the subordinate immediately closed his mouth. After bowing to the Lord of Spirit Void, he bowed and left.

As the doors were closed again, the entire Ancient Temple fell into a deathly silence once more. The Lord of Spirit Void held the Chess Piece suspended in midair, his eyes gradually lowering.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

No one knew what the Lord of Spirit Void was thinking at this time. His gaze shifted, deep in thought for a long time, and finally slowly closed his eyes... and then sighed lightly.

The Chess Piece suspended in midair didn't fall. He instead grabbed a handful of Chess Pieces from the white Chessboard, and then unhurriedly stood up from the pebble ground, pacing towards a certain direction of the Ancient Temple.

Finally, facing a sea of clouds, he stopped his figure...

That was the direction where the Hidden Clouds Domain was located.

"...This is it."

He gently raised his hand, pinching one of the Chess Pieces with three fingers. With a flash of cold glint in his eyes, he forcefully threw the Chess Piece in his hand!!

Whoosh—!!

Numbers jumped in the void. Under the superposition of the Spiritual Void Coefficient, the mass-energy equation rose crazily. The white Chess Piece suddenly scraped out a spatial ripple in the void, and then accelerated to catapult forward. Within just a few times, it turned into a flashing meteor!!

Following the previous great battle where he severely injured the Calamity of Delusion with a few pebbles, the "skipping stones" from the god of mathematics was activated once again...

And this time...

His target was the entire Hidden Clouds Domain.

...

Hidden Clouds Domain.

When Liu Qingyan carried the second Coffin on her back and arrived beside Chen Ling, quite a few Dusk Society members had already gathered together.

"Eh? Miss Liu is here."

"It seems the Lord of the South Sea has also been successfully encoffined... Collecting two Nine Monarchs in one breath, the harvest of coming to the Hidden Clouds Domain this time is quite good."

"Next, should we go collect the Lord of the Red Dust, or the Lord of Spirit Void?"

"How about the Lord of Spirit Void? I already found him displeasing to the eye when he invited us to the Spirit Void Domain for a meeting before."

"Are you crazy? The Lord of Spirit Void is currently in his peak state, and the final top-tier forces of humanity are all gathered there... The current Spirit Void Domain is stronger than any Domain before!"

"Yo, Seven of Hearts, how come you've become such a coward after not seeing you for a while?"

"Fuck you, you're the coward! I divined this, understand?"

"..."

Numerous Dusk Society members chattered on the street, voices of mocking and sarcasm rising one after another, making people feel as if they were going to start fighting each other the next moment.

And it was exactly this small piece of liveliness within this deathly still Domain that diluted the loneliness in Chen Ling's heart. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, his entire person relaxing slightly.

"Is everyone here?" Chen Ling turned his head to look at Liu Qingyan.

"There are still a few who haven't arrived. They should be dealing with the last few surviving Dragon-Strangling Warriors." Liu Qingyan responded softly. "Red King, My Lord, are you going to hold a meeting with them?"

"Not necessarily. Saying it now or later is all the same."

Chen Ling's original intention was to take advantage of everyone being here to tell them about the Red Ark of Crossing Worlds crossing the suffering, taking everyone's ghosts to the new world... For these members, this was undoubtedly a massive surprise.

After all, before this, they had never thought they could personally go to the rebooted world. At most, they just entrusted their regrets in the new world to the Red King, hoping everything could be made up for in the new world.

With the personalities of these guys, if they knew they could enter the Red Paper Umbrella after dying, they would probably scramble to commit suicide to grab a front "seat" in Chen Ling's hands... After all, if they were afraid of dying, they wouldn't have joined the Dusk Society. They existed here because there were things more profound than death.

Liu Qingyan nodded slightly. Just as she was about to say something, in the next second, the gradually dimming night sky in the distance suddenly lit up!

It was like a sun suddenly sweeping across from beyond the sky. The grayish-white cloud layer was so bright at this moment that it was impossible to look directly at it. Vaguely, one could see a world-ending meteor rapidly falling towards here!!

In an instant, the Oppressive Aura of the Nine Sovereign Tier seemed to swallow the world!

The energy contained in that meteor was simply too strong, and its speed was too fast. Even the Calamity of Delusion in the past couldn't react to it. The crowd only felt their vision blur, and an unprecedented life-and-death crisis surged into their hearts!

"Oh no, it's Spirit..."

Before the crowd could even say the last two words, that meteor crashed heavily onto the earth!!

BOOM—!!!!

Piercing white light flooded the earth.

This wasn't over.

After the first meteor landed, the second meteor also pierced through thousands of miles and arrived at the Hidden Clouds Domain.

The first meteor hadn't landed for more than three seconds before the bombardment of the second meteor closely followed and erupted, and then the third, the fourth... The entire ruins of the Domain vibrated violently under the continuous frenzied bombardment, and the berserk Oppressive Aura swept across the world!

...

Rustle, rustle—

Fine dust surged on the black earth.

Red Heart 10, who had arrived hurriedly and late, stopped in her tracks amidst the surging air waves... She looked dumbly at the scene before her, standing in place like a sculpture.

"Woof—"

"Woof woof—!!"

A large black dog beside her was roaring hideously at the front, as if the Aura drifting from the ruins before their eyes was its lifelong enemy.

No...

In front of them, not even ruins remained.

The location where the Hidden Clouds Domain originally was had completely turned into a fragmented wasteland. Looking out, one couldn't see any traces of human buildings having existed, not even broken walls and ruins remained... It was as if the civilization that once stood here had been completely erased by a peerless giant hand.
