"Holy shit!!! What the hell is going on?" Chu Yuan's face turned deathly pale with shock, his eyes wide with terror as he stared towards the black hole.
The entire secret realm was beginning to collapse slowly, and from the portal connecting to the abyssal otherworld, a gigantic, blood-red eye had appeared. Even separated by the planar boundary, one could faintly sense the terrifying pressure it emanated.
"This... what is this? Is that thing trying to come through?"
By now, Lin Mu had also snapped back to reality. A pressure from a higher existence chilled him to the bone. Although he had been transformed into a being similar to evil spirits, facing the colossal blood-red eye from the other side of the abyss still made him tremble from primal instinct.
"Damn! I'm not blocking this anymore!" Lin Mu was also badly frightened. Originally, this guy had been camping at the monster spawn point, feasting like it was an all-you-can-eat buffet thanks to his high cultivation level. But now, a super boss had suddenly arrived.
"Chu Yuan!!! You goddamn jinx!"
Lin Mu's massive tree body began to retract, countless vines and branches swiftly withdrawing, revealing the tightly-wrapped portal. Only then did the two clearly see what was truly happening.
On the other side of the abyss, that scarlet eye hung in the sky like a bloody sun. That entire world was dim and crimson, and from the black fog-filled clouds, countless legions of evil spirits swarmed out, rushing rapidly towards the portal.
"BOOM!!!"
While Chu Yuan and Lin Mu were still stunned, an enormous, grotesque evil spirit had already flapped its wings and slammed into the black hole's entrance.
"ROAR!!!"
The evil spirit let out a furious roar. Countless streams of black energy poured in, and within the black fog, one could seemingly hear eerie, ghostly wails. A gaping maw stretched through the black hole, but its body was far too massive to fully enter; only a mouthful of huge black teeth was visible.
"Damn, when's the last time you brushed those?" Lin Mu lashed out with a thorn-covered branch, whipping it directly at the maw!
Lin Mu's subsystem inherently possessed demon-slaying attributes. Although his evolution path leaned towards the evil spirit direction... he had maxed out all skill points in the attribute of annihilating evil spirits.
A single whip strike directly scattered the black fog.
Lin Mu wasn't afraid at all. He sensed this thing's strength was at most at the Martial God stage, and it couldn't even get through...
"ROAR!!!" The evil spirit roared in anger. Lin Mu, with his peak Martial God stage cultivation and a whip strike imbued with demon-slaying properties... it was a bit hard to handle.
Fortunately, its vast evil spirit energy instantly repaired the injury.
"BANG—" The giant-mouthed evil spirit was knocked flying away by something, and then they saw a bloodshot eyeball covered in sinister veins charge forward. Below the bloody eye writhed countless horrifying tentacles, eerily reminiscent of an evil god from Cthulhu mythos.
Countless tentacles gripped the edges of the portal, making rustling, squelching sounds as it tried to force its spherical body through. But the hole was too small... its bulbous form was simply too large.
It was like trying to stuff size 50 super feet into size 35 shoes. Of course it was a squeeze!
"SQUELCH—" With a sound, the blood-eye directly burst!
Like an exploding water balloon, thick, transparent fluid splattered everywhere. And within this fluid, there seemed to be countless tiny, mosquito-like eggs. Upon contact with the spiritual energy in the air, these blood-eye eggs began to swell at an alarming rate. Within a few breaths, all the egg masses hatched into micro blood-eyes the size of glutinous rice balls.
Grotesque!
This bizarre scene left both Lin Mu and Chu Yuan utterly dumbfounded.
Although the strength of these tiny eyeballs was extremely weak, only around the Qi Refining stage right after hatching... the visual impact was overwhelmingly intense.
And it wasn't alone!
"Squelch, squelch~~~ creak, creak!" Horrifying sounds emanated from the portal. By now, the entrance was completely packed. Countless evil spirits squeezed against each other, and from the other side of the abyss, one could clearly see more and more evil spirits swarming towards it.
The immense pressure from the spirits behind almost crushed those in front into pulp, only for them to resurrect...
But... they were indeed getting through!
Large batches of evil spirits began crossing the boundary!
"This is bad! This is definitely not normal! Lin Mu, you hold them off first... I'm going to contact Young Master Jiang!"
Chu Yuan, panicking now, first thought of Jiang Che. After all, from the current perspective... Jiang Che was his ultimate cheat code.
Who else would he turn to?
"You bastard..." Lin Mu cursed under his breath, but his actions were swift. Countless dead branches and vines intertwined, forming a massive cage of thorns.
Just as Chu Yuan was about to leave the secret realm, his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the sky!
The sky above Blue Star had already changed color. A crimson sun now hung prominently at the zenith.
The entire mortal realm had become dim and lightless, a scene straight out of an apocalypse.
......
Meanwhile, in the Nine Heavens.
"Dong~ Dong~ Dong!"
Three bell tolls once again resonated from the dome of the myriad heavens.
The Nine Heavens were so vast that not even sound... let alone light speed, would take an extremely long time to reach every province. Yet, this bell sound rang out in an instant, heard by all.
The last time the bell tolled was when Shen Yu conceived the demon fetus. Now, the bell tolled for the second time.
And this time, the sound was even more immense, like a funeral knell for the end of days.
Countless Great Emperors were startled awake, and even many Immortals slumbering within immortal sources roused from their sleep.
"What's happening? Why has the Three Realms Bell tolled again?"
In the Central Imperial Heaven, the leaders of several major holy lands appeared before each other shortly after the bell's toll.
"The mortal realm again? Why is it always the mortal realm?"
"It's the otherworldly evil demons! The otherworldly evil demons must have found a breach in the mortal realm and are invading!" An old woman with white hair calculated with her fingers, her eyes narrowing tightly.
"What? Otherworldly evil demons!" another person exclaimed in horror, fear undisguised in their eyes.
Mentioning otherworldly evil demons brought to mind only fear and death for all in the Nine Heavens. Speaking of evil demons... even Great Emperors and Immortals could not rest easy.
"What do we do? That evil spirit energy can corrupt even Immortals, let alone the mortal realm which has only just begun its spiritual energy resurgence!"
"The Heavenly Dao of the mortal realm has only just begun its spiritual energy resurgence. Its strength has likely been weakened by more than half. It's highly possible that even the mortal realm's Heavenly Dao has been corrupted..."
The more they spoke, the more panicked they became.
"Oh, right! Isn't that Imperial Scion of the Jiang Family still in the mortal realm? The Child of Destiny born from dual immortal physiques... Could this be a contingency plan by the Heavenly Dao?"
"Notify the other Immortals across the Nine Heavens immediately. Now that the evil spirits... are highly likely to use the mortal realm as a springboard to invade the entire Nine Heavens, it would lead to the extinction of all life and utter devastation..."
"Especially the Jiang Family!!! This full-scale invasion of the mortal realm by evil spirits... definitely has something to do with that Jiang Che!"
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
