Chapter 313 A Figure Worthy of Godslaying! [3/3]

The night,

The night sky over Shuize Base City seemed even redder.

The eerie red moon illuminated the surrounding dark clouds, casting a pall over mountains and plains. A suffocating aura permeated the air, as if it would choke the life out of everyone.

"Something is coming."

Battles raged on across various fronts.

Even though Shuize Base City was anticipated to be the core battlefield, other cities on Blue Star had no choice but to defend themselves.

This was precisely as the Blood Emperor had predicted.

However,

Fang You still recalled An Jianyou and the others.

Traveling to the nearest base city and passing through the secret realm to reach Shuize would not take long.

And at this moment...

Rumble—

A thunderous clap erupted, just tens of kilometers outside Shuize Base City. The night sky grew even more crimson, like clouds set ablaze.

It was as if some terrifying behemoth was about to emerge, rendering the very fabric of this realm incredibly viscous.

Oppressive! Deathly silent! Grave!

Countless eyes focused as preparations within the base city swiftly shifted to this new defensive line.

This was the north.

The sky seemed to be burned through, and gradually, cracks of darkness began to appear.

Those were fissures in the world barrier of Blue Star!

With a sharp crack, the fiery red clouds churned, forming a colossal vortex, much like the Blood Emperor's descent that day. Only this time, the vortex was larger, with streaks of black and red lightning crackling within.

Emerging from it...

Was not a divine avatar.

It was a meteor shower.

Thousands upon thousands of meteors rained down from beyond the heavens. Some flew out of the massive vortex, while others, from further afield, pierced the crimson-hued clouds, leaving distinct trails as they plummeted towards the earth of Blue Star, towards the north of Shuize Base City.

"If Shuize Base City were not a nodal point in Blue Star's defense network, and if this area were not fortified with pillars to become immensely stable, then... this meteor shower would likely be a carpet-bombing strike directly at the base city."

Under the onslaught of countless meteorites, Shuize Base City would be annihilated in an instant.

Even Fang You would be powerless to stop it.

The sheer number was overwhelming!

What's more, he narrowed his eyes.

"These are not merely meteorites."

...

"But rather, malevolent entities encased within shells."

Dean Rose gazed into the distance at the meteor shower, which blazed like fireworks.

She sensed it – the strange, loathsome aura within the brilliant downpour. They were malevolent entities, some of three-star, some four-star, five-star, and six-star.

However,

"What is the purpose of this?"

"To expend so much effort just to send a batch of mid-tier malevolent entities into Blue Star?"

The autonomous infiltration of malevolent entities into Blue Star was a force exerted by the demon realm upon Blue Star; it was natural.

But now, the evil god faction was actively exerting its power, weakening and breaking through Blue Star's world barrier, which required significantly more effort.

Both deans' instincts told them this was far from simple.

If it were merely over ten thousand malevolent entities descending from the sky, their star ratings being quite high, it would be akin to a tide of several million malevolent entities. Was this just an appetizer before the true divine descent of higher beings? But there were too many appetizers today...

"Wait!"

Dean Rose's eyes widened abruptly.

Her beautiful, yet somewhat world-weary eyes reflected the scarlet moon.

The eerie red moon suddenly blazed brighter, its crimson moonlight bathing the tens of thousands of meteors falling from beyond the sky. Instantly...

As if pouring tons of crude oil onto a bonfire, the loathsome aura of the malevolent entities suddenly surged to terrifying levels. The mental impact, previously comparable to a several-meter-high wave, exploded into a colossal tsunami hundreds of meters high.

Were it not for the protection of the Dawn Lighthouse, this tidal wave of mental impact alone would have caused many to fall and turned hundreds of square kilometers into a death zone.

But what sent a chill down their spines even more were the transformations occurring within the shelled malevolent entities bathed in the scarlet moonlight.

"Three-star evolving into four-star."

"Calamity-class evolving into Hell-class."

"Hell-class evolving into Cataclysm-class."

"Gulp..."

Tens of thousands of celestial meteors, which were originally over 95% three-star malevolent entities – low-tier, ordinary ones – were now undergoing strange and horrifying changes.

They became increasingly ferocious, increasingly terrifying!

Boom—!!!!

The meteor shower struck.

The earth trembled incessantly as monstrous figures, tens of meters tall, crawled out of newly formed craters.

These were tens of thousands of Calamity-class malevolent entities!

Among them were a not-insignificant number of Hell-class and Cataclysm-class entities!

Witnessing this, the avatars of any Throne-level powerhouse, from any oasis, trembled.

"So, this is the true purpose of the red moon!"

"It's not to revive some evil spirits, but... but to evolve those malevolent entities! How is this possible!"

The worldview of some powerhouses shattered.

Four-awakening powerhouses were considered absolutely high-tier in any major oasis, forming a crucial core strength.

Killing even a single Calamity-class malevolent entity of the same level required considerable effort.

Yet, right before their eyes, in the blink of an eye, over ten thousand Calamity-class malevolent entities had evolved out of nowhere!

For the evil god faction, were Calamity-class malevolent entities mere playthings?!

The Master of the Tower of Wealth clutched his chest, stumbling.

He had remained here, harboring the thought of scavenging benefits from the Pure White Tower after Shuize Base City fell. He would have welcomed the destruction of Shuize Base City and was certain Blue Star would be annihilated.

However, the ease and disparity of it all made him feel a sense of pity for the dying.

"The evil god faction is truly... invincible! Absolutely invincible!"

His pursuit of knowledge within the Pure White Tower seemed to have sunk at that moment, rendering everything tasteless. He merely stared blankly at the night sky, at the monstrous figures emerging from the earth.

...

Medisa's face turned ashen.

Dean Rose and Dean War Song were not faring much better.

The impact they had received today was too immense. They had only sought to broaden their horizons and witness the methods of the evil god faction, but they had never anticipated such extravagance.

Evolving tens of thousands of Calamity-class malevolent entities in an instant!

Even without a divine descent.

No, if a divine being descended, it would be natural for Blue Star to be destroyed. But precisely because no divine being had descended, and instead, an extraordinarily excessive number of Calamity-class malevolent entities had appeared, it was even more unbearable.

"Blue Star is doomed."

...

"Tens of thousands of Calamity-class malevolent entities, in terms of rank, are far inferior to divine avatars. However... the summoning card that King Hei used back then could obliterate a divine avatar, but it absolutely could not kill so many Calamity-class malevolent entities."

Perhaps it wouldn't even kill a tenth before the summoning card's duration expired.

But that was then.

Now, the Embers possessed a multitude of means.

The north wind roared.

On the half-constructed city wall on the north side of the base city, figures stood tall against the wind. Compared to the defense battle of Shuize Base City more than a month ago, the number of defenders on the front line was significantly smaller.

At that time, the Eastern Emperor Kingdom had deployed most of its strength.

But now, not long ago, teams had been dispatched to reinforce various fronts.

Yet, on the faces of the defenders, some young and some old, there was little fear. Only fire burned in their eyes, resolute, frantic, gritting their teeth, determined to pierce and shatter this boundless darkness.

"Prepare the mega-cannons, aim..."

"Follow me, Old Master Wang, and blast them to bits!"

What had improved since more than a month ago was that now, dozens of anomaly crystal cannons were deployed on the front line, including four anomaly crystal mega-cannons that had proven so effective then.

Moreover, their stability was even greater, and their energy accumulation time was shorter.

The long-range mega-cannons were the first to unleash their barrage. Brilliant azure beams shot forth, tearing through the earth, distorting and annihilating the monstrous figures charging forward within the light.

One shot eliminated two or three, three or four!

With a single shot, Calamity-class malevolent entities were annihilated as if made of paper.

The number was too great.

And the anomaly crystal mega-cannons were too powerful.

"Is this Blue Star's anomaly crystal cannon? You call this an anomaly crystal cannon?!"

The Master of the Tower of Wealth's eyes widened, and he turned to the envoy of the white tower.

He had heard reports from the envoy and had seen anomaly crystal cannons. Their white tower naturally possessed the technology to convert anomaly crystals into energy blasts.

However,

However,

Looking at the few anomaly crystal mega-cannons before him, the Master of the Tower of Wealth wished he could throw his own into the garbage.

The difference was too vast.

These exquisitely crafted anomaly crystal mega-cannons reignited his curiosity and his desires.

Soon, the ordinary anomaly crystal cannons also opened fire, though their destructive power was much weaker than the mega-cannons. Only a direct hit could annihilate a Calamity-class malevolent entity. The ordinary, area-focused anomaly crystal cannons were almost useless.

The destructive power of these anomaly crystal cannons and mega-cannons was immense, but they were facing tens of thousands of malevolent entities, which were terrifying to an extreme.

There were too many.

They were inexhaustible.

And these malevolent entities could easily destroy anything. Even their great oasis could not withstand them, let alone Blue Star.

"Wait, there's... there's something even more terrifying brewing."

Dean War Song's eyes widened, his voice trembling slightly at this moment.

He pointed into the distance.

Beyond the monstrous Calamity-class malevolent entities, further from the base city, several Cataclysm-class entities were curled up together.

These were native entities, having emerged from their celestial shells.

"Three-star evolving into four-star."

"Calamity-class evolving into Hell-class."

"Then... will the Cataclysm-class malevolent entities continue to evolve?"

"That's impossible, right?"

Dean Rose also covered her mouth, her eyes wide, ripples of shock spreading across them.

They had all subconsciously overlooked that if six-star Cataclysm-class malevolent entities could not evolve, then... why would the evil god faction send them down? It would be better to send a few dozen Hell-class entities.

"They are already evolving!"

Seven Cataclysm-class entities were huddled together, intertwined tightly, their claws or other appendages inserted into each other's flesh. They were melting, writhing.

Bathed in the scarlet moonlight, they embraced each other for transformation.

In the scarlet light, a colossal, indescribably terrifying, jellyfish-like world-ending malevolent entity emerged!

Its canopy-like body pulsed with wave-like ripples.

From its body dangled tentacles, perhaps hundreds of them, each hundreds or thousands of meters long. As these tentacles unfurled, they resembled a covering of the sky.

Along with them descended an extremely terrifying mental impact.

Even with the protection of the Dawn Lighthouse... the lighthouse was also affected by the red moon, and the mental impact crashed down like a tide.

"Thump—"

Awakened ones collapsed.

Many first-awakening individuals on the front line fell, their faces pale, their bodies curled and convulsing. Others gritted their teeth and endured, closing their eyes, tears of blood streaming down.

The envoys and powerhouses from various oases were not afraid of this mental impact, weakened as it was by the Light of Dawn.

But the psychological shock was even greater.

After the appearance of tens of thousands of Calamity-class malevolent entities, a terrifying seven-star malevolent entity, capable of destroying a world, was born.

"World-Ending Malevolent Entity!"

"Simply by existing, it can hatch millions, tens of millions, or even more nest-type malevolent entities! A mobile world-ending nest!"

"It's hatching!"

Beneath its jellyfish-like body, winged malevolent entities were being spat out with a *plop, plop*.

From its moment of birth, it began hatching at full capacity!

Simultaneously, it waved its tentacles, slowly, with terrifying pressure, drifting towards the base city.

Bringing with it boundless despair.

The palpable pressure was even greater than a divine descent!

"We must leave!"

"Blue Star will soon be destroyed. If we don't hurry, we won't be able to escape either."

"Damn it! My hands are trembling. The ritual... set up the ritual quickly!"

"Wait, what is that..."

Some despaired, some trembled, some fearfully sought to flee.

At this moment, at the forefront of the defense line, a figure clad in pale red emerged.

It had a humanoid metallic body, exuding power. Its ten-plus-meter height rivaled that of a flesh-and-blood giant. However, in front of the vast multitude of Calamity-class malevolent entities, it seemed small. Before the seven-star, world-ending entity 'Falling Cloud Mica', it was as insignificant as a grain of sand.

The small war puppet, its streamlined body enveloped in a layer of blood-red light.

It shot forward.

Beneath the red moon, this figure flashed like lightning, tearing through the heavens and leaving a black scar. Wherever it passed, the bodies of Calamity-class malevolent entities froze.

Half a second later, they exploded, splattering blood and gore everywhere.

And at this moment,

That blood-red shadow had already...

The canopy, large enough to envelop mountains, suddenly caved in, sinking hundreds of meters. Under inertia, its tentacles lashed upwards, and the colossal mica body plummeted straight down.

A ring of explosive shockwaves detonated in mid-air.

Shuize Base City felt like it was hit by a magnitude ten earthquake. The ground at the core of the impact point sank repeatedly, creating vast chasms like rift valleys.

That terrifying, despair-inducing, world-ending existence was now embedded in the ground like a thin membrane.

Around it, the malevolent entities that had just hatched, including many Calamity-class, Hell-class, and even Cataclysm-class, all froze bizarrely.

From the inside out, in concentric circles, they exploded, shattering.

Scattered across the ground.

They spread like petals of blood-painted flowers, surrounding a figure in the center, not large, but seeming to prop up the heavens.

That was... a figure capable of slaying gods!
