The Arrival of Calamity

The moment that voice fell, the entire isolated island tower fell silent.

Bai Qianshuang had already been ready to withstand the next blow, but as her body flew backward through the air, she landed in a familiar, warm embrace.

This was...

Ye Chuan caught her with one arm, supporting her back with the other. His black hair was swept up by the fierce wind, and in his eyes surged a barely contained black-gold glow.

"Who dares touch my wife?!"

The voice was not loud, but it rolled through the tower like a clap of divine thunder.

The entire twenty-first floor space immediately sank, and every eyeball froze in place.

Luo Xi stared at him blankly. Her imperial seal, nearly extinguished, faintly lit up again, as if it had finally found someone it could rely on.

Bai Qianshuang leaned against Ye Chuan's chest, as if she had finally found someone to depend on. Her lips moved, and then she raised a hand to point, her voice slightly choked with tears.

"It—bullied us—"

"Then let it die." Ye Chuan saw Bai Qianshuang's broken arm, and his face instantly turned cold.

This was the first time he had ever been so enraged.

Ye Chuan released his black-gold chaotic immortal power, instantly devouring the contamination lingering on both of them.

In that moment, Bai Qianshuang's severed right arm regenerated at a visible pace—bones, flesh, and meridians reweaving themselves, and even the crack in her core essence was forcibly repaired.

Bai Qianshuang stared blankly at her hand. The injury that just moments ago had nearly drained her to the point of death was restored to its prime in a single breath.

The imperial seal on Luo Xi's brow lit up again, an icy-blue radiance spreading across her forehead. Even the aura she had exhausted from overconsumption was forcibly pulled back to its peak. "I'm recovered... Chuanchuan."

She looked down at her own hand, then at Ye Chuan, and let out a light snort, her tone playful in an indescribable way. "You annoying bastard. Any later, and we really would have been done for here."

"And who's calling herself your wife? We haven't even had the wedding yet."

Ye Chuan smiled as he steadied Bai Qianshuang. "I know. That's why I showed up to save the day, isn't it?"

Then Ye Chuan turned his gaze to the figure, and his expression darkened once more.

At this moment, the sky outside the tower went completely dark. The sea wind stopped, and the clouds rolled back in reverse.

The entire world bore the brunt of Ye Chuan's leaking fury.

The eyeballs on the tower walls began to tremble. The gray-white runes flickered wildly, as if they finally realized what they had summoned.

"Domain expansion—" Ye Chuan took a single step forward, and the black-gold chaotic domain spread out from under his feet!

The entire tower was engulfed. Bai Qianshuang and Luo Xi were teleported to a safe location.

The figure stood before the door, still imitating Ye Chuan's face beneath a membrane of light, a fake smile hanging at the corners of its mouth.

Ye Chuan stared at that face, his eyes growing colder by the second. "Using my face to scare my wife? Your taste is pretty hellish."

The figure tilted its head. Beneath the light membrane, countless faces writhed simultaneously, then coalesced again into that familiar yet unfamiliar outline.

Ye Chuan suddenly frowned.

This aura...

It was the contamination from outside the Tianqi Star, somehow crossing into the real world?

"So it's you," Ye Chuan said flatly.

"Find... you..." the figure spoke.

Ye Chuan raised a hand to cut it off, his tone indifferent. "Found your daddy, have you? Don't rush—Dad is sending you straight back home."

As his voice fell, the chaotic domain contracted violently!

The entire floor of the tower was gripped as if by a giant black-gold hand, and the gray-white eyeballs burst open in droves!

"That's not enough! Die a hundred times, die a thousand times!!!"

The figure raised an arm to resist, but the moment it extended, its arm was shattered by the chaotic force, and even the light membrane twisted violently!

Explosion after explosion rang out in rapid succession!

Ye Chuan clenched his five fingers, and the darkness behind the door was forcibly dragged out!

The figure finally let out a piercing shriek.

Beneath the light membrane, rows upon rows of agonized human faces squeezed against each other madly, like countless trapped souls begging for mercy.

Ye Chuan didn't stop for a second. "Crying? Even crying counts for nothing!"

The power that the figure had prided itself on had no defense against the enraged Ye Chuan, ground down layer by layer.

Bai Qianshuang, sensing everything within the domain, couldn't help putting away her weapon. "What... level of strength is Ye Chuan, really?"

Luo Xi shrugged. "Chuanchuan seems to have gotten stronger again. And the way he does it just gets more and more outrageous."

"Yeah," Bai Qianshuang agreed wholeheartedly.

She had already lost one life, and it had taken forever—until she could barely stand anymore—to refill with chaotic spiritual liquid.

...

The tower trembled more and more violently.

The figure was already mostly crushed, leaving only the light membrane above its chest, still struggling inside the chaotic domain.

Ye Chuan showed no mercy, constantly collapsing the space, like a giant millstone continuing to crush and grind the enemy.

But just as the figure was about to vanish completely, a sinister smile suddenly appeared beneath the light membrane.

That smile seemed to belong to some deeper entity, looking at Ye Chuan for the first time through this figure.

"Find... you..."

Ye Chuan frowned. He reached out to grab the last wisp of the figure's aura, but the figure chose to explode voluntarily.

Countless gray-white light particles spread along the tower's runes, like a pre-prepared coordinate system, instantly shooting out across the entire real world!

Ye Chuan frowned.

A bad feeling rose in his heart.

The entire isolated island tower shook violently.

Above the tower, the night sky suddenly split open!

Gray-white mist fell from beyond the heavens, beginning to shroud the entire world!!!

The lights on the distant continent started going out in patches. Satellites in orbit flickered erratically, and communication signals turned into piercing static.

Even more terrifying was the sky.

Deep within the gray mist, enormous eyes began to open, one after another, densely covering the entire heavens!

Every eye was hidden behind the clouds, pupils rotating slowly, like countless cold gods looking down upon the entire Blue Planet.

At that moment, everyone who looked up and saw the sky froze in place, hearing a whisper resonate in their minds.

"See..."

On the streets, office workers just leaving their shifts stopped in their tracks, tiny eyeballs bulging beneath their skin, their expressions going blank, one by one.

In schools, students in evening study hall gazed out their windows. Some clutched their heads and fell onto their desks as gray-white tentacles tore out from their backs.

In hospital hallways, patients on beds sat up abruptly, their chests splitting open into long, thin mouths, endlessly repeating the words, "Door open."

Inside subway cars, passengers' shadows rose from the floor, rows of eyes opening on the shadows before slowly pressing back onto their owners' bodies.

The entire Blue Planet had fallen into chaos!

Screams, the screech of crashing cars, alarms, and the sound of shattering glass blended together under the shroud of gray mist!

The whole world was changing violently!

Everyone who saw the eyeballs—without exception—became servants of the outer god!

After the rift, calamity had descended once more!

Ye Chuan's divine sense had always encased the planet, so he naturally sensed this change. He frowned.

This...

Ye Chuan looked toward the deepest part of the sky.

There, the gray mist was thickest. At the center of countless eyes, a massive, indescribable shadow was slowly taking shape.

That thing was too far away, and too enormous.

Even if it only revealed a faint outline, the entire sky seemed to buckle under its weight, and the very rules of the Blue Planet began to wail in anguish!
