Chapter 826: The Approaching Apocalypse
Time flowed like water, and the three realms have undergone earth-shattering changes.
Since the outbreak of the human world’s corpse demon catastrophe, fear has gripped the hearts of people. Even with The Great Qian’s Demon Slaying Department and the soldiers of the Imperial City fighting, the safety zones of the four domains continue to shrink.
Townships below the level of prefectural cities have almost been completely wiped out, let alone those remote mountain and fishing villages.
Refugees were everywhere and corpses littered the fields.
If left unchecked, these refugees and corpses will form even larger armies of corpse demons, threatening the safety of more cities.
In this critical moment, the Coffin Tomb Family stepped in and used their soul-sealing coffins to seal countless powerful corpse demons, barely halting the advance of the undead legion.
Emperor Ming also issued orders, arranging migration routes for refugees and commanding large cities to gradually take them in.
Then the treasury was opened, funds and provisions were allocated to address the famine among refugees and to cope with the disaster.
Despite three months having passed, the corpse demon catastrophe still existed, but the damage caused has been greatly reduced.
Countless people sang praises of Emperor Ming’s deeds.Unfortunately, troubles never come alone.
The graceful Yu Mei, with her eyes closed, shook her right hand and shook off the stains on the sword blade. After a long battle, she has now reached the peak of the third rank, just one step away from the second.
Around her, there were densely packed corpses of corpse demons, a bloody scene resembling a hell on earth.
But she paid no heed to any of it, and only spoke softly with another figure nearby, “Tianyi, you promised me before that once you reached the second rank, you would marry me.”
“Six months ago, you successfully reached the second rank, but due to the invasion of the Netherworld Realm in the southern domain, time was delayed.”
“Now, with the frequent occurrences of the corpse demon catastrophe, you claim to have no time for such matters. Could it be… you don’t want to marry me?”
Zhen Tianyi, with his red hair, paused in his action of wiping his blade, even as a straight male obsessed with blade, he could not ignore the overflowing love from the beautiful woman before him, who had accompanied him for ten years.
He put down his long blade and turned his head while scratching his head with a somewhat embarrassed expression, “It’s not that I don’t want to marry, it’s just that the timing isn’t right.”
“I want my master to bear witness, and I also want the wedding to be more grandiose.”
“However, after the appearance of the strange cracks in the sky, disasters have been more frequent, Demons And Ghosts are rampant. I think we can wait a little longer.”
His tone weakened noticeably towards the end.
Yu Mei approached slowly and a fragrant breeze wafted over. She grabbed his collar and exhaled gently, “The wedding can wait, but shouldn’t husband and wife do what they’re supposed to tonight?”
Thud!
Thud thud!
His heart started pounding wildly, Zhen Tianyi felt his mouth dry, and the surrounding terrible environment did not cover up this intimacy, but instead made his agitation even more intense.
Their faces drew closer, even Yu Mei’s earlobes blushed pink.
But just then, the dim night was suddenly illuminated.
Both of them stopped their movements, Zhen Tianyi looked up at the night sky and his eyes widened with disbelief.
Meteor shower!
Countless meteors descended from the sky, whistling down.
Boom!
The earth trembled, flames surged, burning for miles.
Cities defended by forces of the third rank or higher could barely fend off the countless falling meteors.
Those without such strength could only wail in agony in the sea of fire, turning into ashes!
Zhen Tianyi and Yu Mei acted immediately and smashed most of the meteors. When the turmoil subsided, they both looked at the Earth and saw nothing but a sea of fire and devastation as far as the eye could see.
But this was just the beginning.
Meteor showers, earthquakes, tsunamis – disasters that were rare in the past few decades are now erupting from all directions and ferociously!
In just a few months, The Great Qian’s Four Realms have become riddled with holes!
And the other two realms have also encountered terrifying crises.
In the Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Emperor frowned as he looked at the cracks continuously extending on the Destiny Monument.
The Destiny Monument was a strange object born at the beginning of heaven and earth, even calling it the earliest innate treasure wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
It coexists with heaven and earth, and should not be subject to any changes.
However, since Qin Feng entered the Netherworld Realm, cracks began to appear on the Destiny Monument.
Even more bizarrely, whenever a crack covered the name of a God or Demon on the Destiny Monument, the latter would lose their sanity and start killing others.
Because of this, the Immortal Realm during this period was not peaceful.
The Heavenly Emperor had tried to erase the names on the Destiny Monument to counter the strange changes.
However, the Destiny Monument was an unparalleled treasure, and it was not easy to erase a name that has been inscribed with the divine power of creation. How could it be so simple to remove a name?
Helplessly, he could only seal those affected by the cracks with supreme means when the cracks touched the name of a God or Demon, and then slowly deal with it.
At this moment, an old man with withered hair came over with a respectful attitude: “Your Majesty.”
“What’s the matter?”
The elderly man shook his head, “It’s not a curse or a disease affecting the Gods and Demons, but a kind of Dao.”
This old man was the venerable Sage of Divine Wood, he was skilled in medical arts and proficient in dispelling curses.
He slowly revealed his discovery and concluded, “There are beings who have used a strange method to embed the mysterious Dao into the bodies of Gods and Demons, thereby controlling their physical bodies and consciousness.”
“I tried to remove the rune, but almost got it, so I had to give up. “
When he discovered this, he was also extremely shocked. What kind of existence in this world could use the Destiny Monument to carry out such a bizarre act?
Even the Heavenly Emperor himself couldn’t do it!
The Heavenly Emperor looked up at the Destiny Monument, the cracks seemed to be continuously extending upwards and eventually it would cover his own name.
He sighed, “I understand.”
He naturally knew who was behind all this, even though they hadn’t appeared yet, they could exhibit such power.
The death of the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower loosened the seal, but it had a great impact on the three realms.
In the Netherworld, Qin Feng in the Yellow Springs was like a small boat in a violent storm, bumping along with the turbulent water.
Since he stepped into the Yellow Springs and learned the Path of the world, the Netherworld has also undergone changes.
The Netherworld’s ghost energy no longer gushes out from the earth, replaced by a dark green ghost fire that can burn souls.
Countless soldiers from the Netherworld inexplicably died under this ghost fire.
In addition, the tide in the Yellow Springs rose against the current, the waters of the Yellow Springs overflowed like a flood and began to engulf the Netherworld.
Any ghost creature that touched the water of the Yellow Springs quickly lost their vitality, and eventually perished.
Even though the Ghost Lord led the others to block the flood of the Yellow Springs, the effect was minimal.
Above the Yellow Springs, Father Qin looked down at the figures below and his face was filled with worry.
The Ghost Lord’s figure suddenly appeared and said indifferently, “”The Yellow Springs have a strange suction power, and all beings are forbidden to float in the air. You have already stayed too long. If you don’t leave now, you will be swallowed by the Yellow Springs.”
Father Qin’s voice was weak, “Just a little longer.”
The Ghost Lord followed his gaze towards the man in the Yellow Springs.
“To be honest, I originally didn’t hold much hope for that boy’s so-called Path of the world. It was a joke to enter the Yellow Spring with his soul and experience thousands of lives.”
“Even this lord dare not guarantee that I could stay in the Yellow Springs for so long.”
“But now, ten months have passed, and he still hasn’t perished, which truly surprises this lord, but…”
The Ghost Lord didn’t finish her sentence, but Qin Jian’an understood that time was running out.
During this time, the changes in the Netherworld became increasingly apparent, and the inhabitants of the Netherworld were declining rapidly under the calamity.
During this period, he also stepped through the Gate of Hell and returned to the world to bring peace to the Qin Family.
But the scenes he witnessed along the way were so grim that he could hardly bear to look at them.
The end of days was getting closer and closer, and the deadline of one year was approaching.
Leaving aside whether Feng’er could reach the first rank by then, even if he did, with Feng’er’s strength, could he deal with the mastermind behind the upheaval of the three realms?
Father Qin felt uncertain, only feeling deeply troubled and powerless.
“Ugh.” Qin Feng in the Yellow Springs let out a painful cry and his expression was filled with agony.
Father Qin felt his heart twisting as he saw this. He had seen this situation countless times, but he could only wait silently, unable to do anything.
“Feng’er.”
