Chapter 780: Chapter 525: Ruined Land of the Buddha
In an instant—
The Low-star Spirit Masters could still escape somewhat, but the mortals on the ground had already suffered heavy casualties.
Even without making a move, merely appearing amidst the wails, those mortals who were affected were almost instantly refined, turned into nourishment, and integrated into these three breaths.
Fa Shun said nothing, merely closing his eyes as if unable to bear it, hands clasped together.
In the next moment, a golden Domain was already unfolded.
He had already answered with his actions.
—No retreat! No regrets!
"Stubborn fool, make your move."
Mara’s lips curled up slightly.
In an instant, the [Hundredfold Grudge Kimono] filled with countless wailing souls also appeared from her body, similarly enveloping her figure, transforming into the last catastrophe.
Then...
The remaining three anomalies also made the same move.
In an instant, four figures, along with four exceedingly terrifying Beast Kings, simultaneously and fiercely struck at the golden Domain.
Boom—
On the withered red plains, a thunderous roar echoed to the heavens, accompanied by a dazzling radiance. The terrifying aftermath forced the outer Spirit Masters to unleash various defensive abilities to resist.
However, it only lasted less than ten seconds before everyone heard the crisp breaking sound.
Crack, crack, crack—
Poof!
Golden light particles scattered in all directions like golden Buddhist blood.
As the light faded, everyone was stunned.
In an instant, the four catastrophes disappeared, while the figures of Fa Shun and that giant elephant were also nowhere to be seen.
Only that solitary space rift remained, pulsating like a beating heart.
"Charge!!!"
In an instant, streams of color and figures rushed swiftly towards the rift, diving into it.
......
Two days later.
A dazzling dragon-shaped lightning bolt tore through the sky, flashing high above, and the rumbling sound took a long while to reach the ground after the lightning passed.
This time, the route, due to its angle, did not pass over the most fertile area of the Great Yue Country, but instead followed along the western border of Great Yue.
At first, flying too high and fast, even Lin Guang couldn’t clearly see what was on the ground, but as the distance grew closer and they neared their destination, Lin Guang manually began to lower the flying altitude.
Through the semi-transparent light screen beneath the dragon’s belly, they could clearly see the scene below.
The scenery of the wilderness on the ground met their eyes.
They saw a strange little city appear beneath their route.
From high above, the city looked a gloomy gray, utterly inexplicable. The main street was fairly orderly, houses neatly arranged, yet not a single person or Spirit Beast was visible on the ground.
The streets, courtyards, markets, all entirely devoid of people, even from high above, it felt as if the silence below devoured everything, time enigmatically frozen, shrouded in deathly stillness with no sign of any living being.
The only visible phenomenon was an inexplicable pattern of gray-black traces, like shadows.
The city quickly receded from view.
However, not long after, another similar town appeared before their eyes.
Vishdair also noticed something was wrong: "Where are the people inside?"
Zumama frowned at the eerie scene below: "The factories have stopped running."
Lin Guang said nothing, a moist white light flashed in the depths of his eyes, slowly and seriously surveying everything below.
"......"
In his view, the dense gray-black traces exuded an aura of harrowing despair and fear.
Lin Guang frowned, further activating his Spiritual Power.
The dark golden pupils lightly quivered, intercepting emotions from traces below through a mysterious connection, while extracting information from the surrounding Ether, then analyzing and reconstructing everything.
The next moment.
Under the combined effect of the Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence and the Black Crown, those traces suddenly began to twist, distorting and restructuring as if being traced back to their origin.
It was like time reversing.
They gradually restored to their previous form in Lin Guang’s eyes.
Then...
Transformed into phantom images with limbs and heads, struggling in agony.
Lin Guang closed his eyes, slowly speaking.
"These were all people."
"...!!!"*4
Chelina furrowed her brows: "Is it the Demon Race? Or a beast tide?"
Lin Guang’s voice was still calm, yet with a hint of icy chill: "I sensed True Intent."
"This is the handiwork of a Six-star Spirit Master."
"Someone has [eaten] all these people."
"......"
Everyone fell silent.
In the Great Yue Country and even in several neighboring countries, various extremely evil Secret Techniques rumored to be from other worlds or developed by those with unique Talents circulated.
Among them were those that rapidly replenished one’s consumption, even enhancing Spiritual Power Level, by devouring the flesh and soul of humans and Spirit Beasts as great supplements.
So, for those unscrupulous, rampant Evil Spirit Masters, these unarmed mortals were the cheapest and most convenient Spiritual Materials in their eyes.
Cheap, effective, and everywhere.
In these medium and small countries, the proportion of wilderness people far exceeded that of Great Xia, many of whom were specifically bred human resources.
Before setting out, Lin Guang had provided them with a lesson. The young girls were not unaware of this fact, yet in the face of such a situation at this moment, they couldn’t help but show expressions of compassion.
Because this kind of thing was extremely taboo, almost no one dared to do it on a large scale.
However, seeing these two towns emptied meant at least hundreds of thousands had vanished without a trace, still a shocking event.
