Deep Sea Starship Apocalypse

The leaden sky collapsed completely at this moment, and the malevolent energy that had been suppressed for ten days poured out. First, fine, needle-like icy rain slanted down, then instantly turned into a torrential downpour. The icy rain, mixed with ashes and filth, poured down like the turbid waves of the underworld after the sky was torn apart, crashing onto the broken stone bricks and splashing up black and red stagnant water. It mingled with the slurry flowing on the ground, making a sizzling, corrosive sound. The pungent stench and the coldness of the icy rain intertwined, forming a huge, impenetrable net that firmly enveloped the entire ruins.

In the blink of an eye, a sudden blizzard swept through the icy rain, the pale snowflakes like the paper money of the dead, swirling and intertwining with the black and red icy rain to create an eerie, apocalyptic spectacle. Extreme cold and damp chill raged, the temperature plummeting dozens of degrees in an instant. The putrid scum on the ground rapidly solidified into a thin layer of ice, only to be washed away and melted by the relentless falling rain, a cycle of freezing and melting that produced a teeth-grinding cracking sound. The world was a chaotic blur, black rain filling the sky, white snow churning, completely obscuring vision. Beyond a hundred meters, only a blurry shadow remained. An atmosphere of oppression, coldness, decay, and despair, like invisible shackles, tightly constricted every inch of space. A suffocating feeling surged like a tidal wave; even cultivators with powerful spirits would feel their minds sink and struggle to breathe under such a celestial phenomenon.

This is an extreme celestial phenomenon unique to the Land of the End, a calamity born from the rampage of all evil and the collapse of the laws of heaven and earth. The icy rain, imbued with malevolent energy, chills to the bone and erodes the soul; the blizzard, frosty and freezing, freezes the veins and damages the spirit. The intertwining of these two forces is enough to make it difficult for ordinary cultivators at the Qiongji Realm to move an inch, their souls and spirits severely damaged. The howling wind whips up the icy rain and blizzard, scraping against the skin like sharp blades. Even with the protection of star energy, one can clearly feel the piercing chill and the bone-corroding malevolent energy. The laws of heaven and earth have become chaotic, the absorption of star energy has become extremely sluggish, and even the perception of the soul is greatly suppressed, only able to barely probe a few feet around the body. Endless unknowns and dangers lurk in the black and white chaos, giving rise to an uncontrollable fear from the bottom of one's heart.

The ancient, decaying beast roared amidst the icy rain and blizzard. Its ten-zhang-tall, rotting flesh appeared even more ferocious and terrifying against the black and white backdrop of the sky. The icy rain pelted its decaying body, but instead of causing any harm, it was instantly evaporated by the dense evil mist surrounding it, turning into wisps of blackish-red poisonous fog that seeped into the air, intensifying the surrounding malevolent energy. Nine scarlet eyes, like nine bloodthirsty lanterns, were fixed on Yu Moyan and Jiang Duyue in the icy landscape. Overwhelming malice and bloodlust erupted without restraint. Its sixteen deformed limbs slammed into the ground, causing the entire ruined land to tremble violently. Cracks spread like a spiderweb, and putrid fluid gushed out from the cracks, colliding with the icy rain and snow, creating a cloud of poisonous miasma.

Without any probing, it unleashed its full power. Eight thick, elephant-like deformed limbs slammed into the ground, its massive body carrying the terrifying force of shattering mountains, charging towards the two like a moving mountain of rotting flesh. Its speed was extreme, completely disproportionate to its bloated size; wherever it passed, broken bricks, collapsed buildings, and frozen ice shells were all crushed into dust. Its eight tentacle-like deformed limbs lashed wildly in the air, scattering bits of flesh and bone clinging to its suckers and barbs like deadly projectiles, sweeping towards the two. The black bone spurs at the top of the tumor on its back suddenly glowed with a dark light. Strands of viscous, putrid venom dripped from the tips of the spurs. Wherever the venom passed, even the air was corroded and rippled. When it landed on the ground, it instantly created craters several feet deep, with thick black smoke rising from the bottom of the craters, emitting a terrifying corrosiveness capable of melting even the finest iron from the stars.

"Be careful! Its physical body is extremely strong, and its venom has a soul-corroding effect!" Yu Moyan's expression suddenly hardened, and he shouted in a deep voice. The golden star essence around his body suddenly erupted, and he no longer held back in the slightest.

The aura of the Emperor's Suppressing Sacred Body was fully unleashed, and pale purple human fortune energy rose from his body. A phantom of a five-clawed true dragon flashed above his head, and imperial pressure swept in all directions, attempting to intimidate this extremely ferocious Corrupted Beast. However, this ancient Corrupted Beast had been tainted by evil power for ten thousand years, long since losing its intelligence, leaving only the instinct for killing and devouring. Even the imperial might could only cause it to pause its movements for a moment, and it was completely unable to stop its attack. The violent baleful energy surged back like a giant wave, causing the purple energy around Yu Moyan to tremble slightly, and his soul to feel a slight dizziness.

Jiang Duyue retreated rapidly, his aura surging as his silvery-white Celestial Corpse Saint Body intensified. Starry patterns spun rapidly around him, the coldness and vastness of the universe's origin intertwining to form a thick stellar skeleton shield. However, the power of the tentacles wielded by the Corrupting Beast was terrifying, like a massive star crashing down, slamming into the shield. With a deafening roar, the silvery shield instantly shattered, riddled with cracks. Jiang Duyue groaned, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a broken stone pillar. The pillar shattered, sending debris flying everywhere. A trickle of pale silver blood spilled from the corner of his mouth—the unique essence blood of the Star Corpse Saint Body after its injury. A deep, bone-revealing wound was torn open on his left arm by the barbs of the tentacles. Dark silver skin was ripped open, and black putrid venom seeped into his body through the wound, instantly causing the flesh around the wound to rot. A piercing, bone-corroding pain shot through him, and his soul also felt dizzy. As the soul-corroding power in the venom attacked him, his vision went black, and even the circulation of his star essence became sluggish.

"Crossing the Moon!" Yu Moyan's eyes were bloodshot, his star energy surged wildly around him, and he raised his hand to condense a huge golden dragon palm print. The palm print had five claws flowing on it, and golden patterns of fortune were densely covering it. It carried a terrifying power that could suppress an entire world and slammed down towards the Ancient Corrupted Beast.

The palm print pierced the air, emitting a roar like ten thousand dragons, and collided fiercely with the charging body of the Corrupting Beast.

Boom—

A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth. The icy rain and blizzard were hurled away by the violent energy shockwave, scattering black and white debris everywhere. The entire ruin trembled violently. The charging momentum of the Ancient Corrupting Beast was forcefully blocked. Its massive body staggered back several steps, rotting flesh flying everywhere. Several tentacles and limbs were broken by the palm strike, black, putrid blood gushing out and instantly corroding the icy rain, releasing puffs of poisonous smoke. Yu Moyan was also not unscathed. The force of the impact was like a mountain crashing down. A sharp pain shot through his chest, as if his internal organs had been displaced. Golden blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. His legs sank several inches into the ground, creating deep cracks. Crackling sounds came from his knees, and the stellar energy within his meridians surged and reversed, bringing excruciating pain.

The Ancient Corrupting Beast, writhing in pain, grew even more ferocious. Its nine monstrous eyes blazed with bloodlust, and it roared deafeningly. A massive rift in its abdomen opened wide, spewing forth countless rotting entrails and maggots, transforming into projectiles of putrid flesh, carrying a dense aura of death and soul-corroding power, which rained down upon the two. Simultaneously, the black bone spikes on its back shone brightly, and a thick, several-meter-long pillar of corrosive light shot forth from the top of the spikes. This pillar contained the power of the very essence of all evil, corroding and distorting space and time wherever it passed, aiming directly at Yu Moyan's brow, intending to destroy his soul in one strike. Wherever the pillar passed, the icy rain instantly evaporated, the snow turned to ash, and even the ground was corroded into a bottomless ravine; its terrifying power caused the heavens and earth to change color.

A crisis has struck, and life hangs in the balance.

Yu Moyan's eyes sharpened like knives, and he held nothing back. He let out a low shout, and golden light surged around him, instantly revealing a set of dazzling imperial armor that covered his entire body.

This armor, named the Imperial Dragon Scale Armor, is an imperial-level armor left behind by Emperor Lingyao. Originating from the Imperial Palace, it is woven from countless star dragon scales, its entire surface a brilliant imperial gold. The armor is engraved with five-clawed dragons and celestial constellations, adorned with a seven-star imperial crown and a sash of auspicious energy. A miniature dragon phantom coils on the chest plate. Each armor plate exudes a profound imperial aura, impervious to all evil and unyielding to malevolent forces. The moment the armor was donned, an unparalleled imperial might swept across the surroundings. Icy rain and blizzards slid off the armor, unable to touch it. Flesh-laden projectiles struck the armor, instantly purified by the auspicious golden patterns, dissipating into specks of black mist. Even so, the immense force of the projectiles still caused Yu Moyan to stagger, the armor plates humming and cracks beginning to appear.

At the same time, he raised his hand, and a twelve-foot-long, golden battle blade appeared out of thin air. The blade was engraved with a celestial map and patterns of human destiny, and the hilt was inlaid with the crystal essence of the Chenyuan Imperial Vein. Named the Evil-Suppressing and Fortune-Slaying Blade, it was the Emperor's natal imperial weapon used to slay countless evil spirits. Purple dragon light swirled around the blade's edge; a single strike could slay evil spirits, sever malevolent energy, and suppress destiny. The moment the battle blade appeared, all the evil energy in the world receded. The imperial pressure and destiny power emanating from the blade subtly suppressed the ferocity of the ancient, corrupting beast.

"cut!"

Holding the Evil-Suppressing Blade, Yu Moyan stepped on the phantom of a true dragon and soared into the sky, leaving a dazzling golden streak in the icy rain and blizzard, before slashing fiercely at the pillar of corrupting energy.

The instant the blade collided with the pillar of light, the black, malevolent power and the golden imperial aura needles intertwined and annihilated each other, emitting a piercing sizzling sound. The pillar of light was cleaved in two, scattering to both sides, corroding the earth and leaving two bottomless ravines. But the tentacles of the ancient, corrupting beast had already seized the opportunity to sweep in. Eight tentacles tightly wrapped around Yu Moyan's body, their suckers fiercely adhering to the Imperial Dragon Scale Armor. Corrosive venom seeped in frantically, and even with the armor protecting him, traces of malevolent power still seeped into his body, eroding his meridians and soul.

Yu Moyan felt as if his entire body was bound by immense force, his bones cracking as if they were about to snap. A tearing pain ripped through his soul, and the soul-corroding power spread like poisonous vines through his sea of ​​consciousness, dimming even the phantom of the five-clawed dragon. He desperately swung his sword, severing several tentacles, but more raged to entwine him. His back was grazed by fleshy bone spurs, and even with his dragon scale armor protecting him, the impact caused the armor plates to crack. A mouthful of golden blood gushed out, splashing into the icy rain, instantly turning black from the evil energy. Several cracks appeared at the junction of his shoulder and breastplate armor, and the icy rain and evil mist seeped into his body through the cracks, worsening his injuries. His star energy was exhausted, and the purple aura around him became extremely thin.

On the other side, Jiang Duyue endured the severe injuries and soul-corroding pain as his dark silver Star Remains Armor suddenly appeared.

This suit of armor, named the Cosmic Star Remains Mystic Armor, is made from cosmic star remains and has a core of black hole refined iron. Its entire body is a deep dark silver, engraved with cosmic galaxy and nebula vortex patterns. Without superfluous decoration, it exudes a terrifyingly indestructible quality; each armor plate is like the core of a star, capable of withstanding attacks from imperial weapons and resisting corrosive forces. In his hand, he also conjured a galaxy battle blade, its blade like a condensed universe, its black surface adorned with countless star fragments of light. Named the Cosmic Star Remains Blade, its blade is incomparably sharp, capable of tearing through space and time and severing evil forces. The moment the armor appeared, the power of the universe's origin enveloped his body, temporarily suppressing the corrosive poison spreading within him. However, the excruciating pain at his wounds still made him tremble, and pale silver blood dripped continuously from the corners of his mouth.

Wielding the Star-Slaying Blade, Jiang Duyue transformed into a streak of ghostly silver light. Ignoring the worsening decay of his wounds and the continuous loss of his vital essence, he charged fearlessly towards the Ancient Corrupted Beast, slashing fiercely at its head, aiming to shatter its nine scarlet eyes and destroy its sensory core. His speed was extreme, leaving afterimages in the icy rain and blizzard. The sharp aura emanating from the Star-Slaying Blade cleaved through layers of evil mist, aiming directly at the vital point of the Corrupted Beast's head.

But the Ancient Corrupt Beast had already sensed it, and a thick tentacle suddenly swept across, striking Jiang Duyue hard in the chest.

boom--

With a muffled thud, Jiang Duyue's Starbone Armor instantly caved in, the armor plates cracking in several places. As if struck by a star, he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground and sliding dozens of feet, carving a deep trench in the ground. Icy rain and blizzard poured into his wounds, the intense pain causing him to tremble all over. He continuously spat out pale silver blood essence from his mouth, and the festering wound on his left arm worsened. The power of soul-corroding had already invaded his sea of ​​consciousness, blurring his vision. Dark circles appeared in his star-like eyes, and he almost lost the strength to grip his battle sword. The circulation of his star essence nearly stopped, and even the essence of his sacred body suffered severe damage.

"Crossing the Moon!" Yu Moyan's eyes were bloodshot as he burned a trace of human destiny power. His body was filled with purple energy, and he broke free from the tentacles' restraints. Holding the Evil-Suppressing Blade, he recklessly slashed at the head of the Ancient Corrupt Beast.

This strike unleashed all his power, combining the Emperor's Holy Body, the human race's fortune, and the might of the Imperial Weapon. The golden blade light pierced the heavens and earth, cleaving through the blizzard and icy rain, carrying the resolute will to shatter all evil, and slammed fiercely into the head of the Ancient Corrupted Beast.

scoff-

The blade pierced flesh, rotting flesh splattered, and blackish-red blood gushed forth like a fountain. The Ancient Corrupting Beast let out a deafening roar, its head cleaved open with a massive wound several meters deep. Its two smallest, monstrous eyes were shattered, and foul-smelling pus and maggots mixed with blood gushed out, staining the surrounding icy rain and snow crimson. Yet its vitality was incredibly strong. Even severely wounded, it still launched a frenzied counterattack, its remaining tentacles flailing wildly, and the bone spurs on its back once again unleashed beams of corrosive light, slamming them heavily into Yu Moyan's back.

Yu Moyan had no time to dodge. The beam of light slammed into the Emperor Chen's Dragon Scale Armor, instantly cracking the armor. Many plates on the chest and back armor shattered and fell off. He coughed up golden blood and staggered forward, his soul severely injured. The true dragon phantom in his sea of ​​consciousness dimmed, and the purple aura around him thinned. Many of his meridians were broken, and his star essence was almost depleted. Even standing became extremely difficult.

Both were now severely injured, their vital essence and blood severely depleted, their meridians corroded by evil power, their souls disturbed by the soul-devouring force, their armor cracked, their swords trembling, and their auras utterly exhausted. The icy rain and blizzard continued to rage, the oppressive and suffocating atmosphere intensifying. Although the Ancient Corrupting Beast was heavily wounded, it still possessed terrifying power capable of overwhelming the two. Its strength, at the mid-stage of the fifth level of the Qiongji Realm, was a chasm they could not easily cross with their Sacred Bodies. This battle was far more dangerous and difficult than they had imagined; a slight misstep would mean certain death, becoming the beast's meal. The surrounding evil mist continued to erode their souls, the icy rain froze their bodies, and the corrosive venom from their wounds continued to spread, rotting their flesh. Every breath was excruciatingly painful, and even the strength to lift their hands was rapidly fading away.

"Join forces and attack the crack in its abdomen; that's its vital point!" Yu Moyan endured the excruciating pain, his voice hoarse but still resolute. He could clearly sense that beneath the huge crack in the Corrupt Beast's abdomen lay its energy core and vital point, which was also the weakest point in its defenses.

Jiang Duyue nodded, gritted his teeth, and stood up. Dark silver blood dripped continuously from the corner of his mouth. The cracks on his Starbone Armor grew denser, and the festering wound on his left arm had spread to his shoulder. The Soul-Eating Power made his head spin, but the starry river in his eyes remained sharp, showing no sign of retreat. He gripped the Starbone Blade of the Rift Cosmos tightly, mobilizing the last wisp of Starbone Origin Power. A faint dark silver glow emanated from his body as he prepared for a desperate attack.

The two exchanged a glance, their minds in perfect harmony. Simultaneously, they activated their remaining Star Essence and Sacred Body Power, charging towards the massive, constantly writhing fissure in the belly of the Ancient Corrupted Beast, one on the left and one on the right.

Yu Moyan stood at the forefront, wielding the Evil-Suppressing Slash Blade. He gathered the last of his True Dragon's power, and the phantom of a true dragon roared on the blade, cleaving through the overwhelming evil mist and actively drawing the attention of the Ancient Corrupting Beast. He deliberately exposed his weaknesses, causing the beast's tentacles to swarm towards him. His shattered dragon scales endured the lashes and venom of the tentacles, causing more and more wounds to appear. Golden blood stained his tattered armor, and each impact caused him to cough up a mouthful of blood. Yet, he held on, not retreating an inch, all to create an opportunity for Jiang Duyue to strike his vital points.

The ancient, decaying beast roared in fury, waving all its tentacles to block Yu Moyan. Its back spurs spewed out corrosive venom, attempting to obliterate the two of them. Countless tentacles coiled around Yu Moyan's body, suckers tore at his armor, and venom seeped in through the cracks. The soul-corroding power surged through his consciousness like a tidal wave, nearly shattering the phantom of the five-clawed dragon. His consciousness began to blur, yet he still gripped his sword tightly, relentlessly slashing at the tentacles, desperately restraining the ferocious beast.

Jiang Duyue followed behind, his figure concealed within the icy rain and blizzard. His Star-Slaying Blade, imbued with the full sharpness of cosmic debris, spun rapidly around him, its remaining star essence and sacred body essence flowing into the blade. Like a deadly meteor in the dark night, it bypassed all the tentacles' obstruction, hurtling towards the rift in the Corrupting Beast's abdomen at top speed. He endured the excruciating pain of his severe injuries, ignoring the spreading decay and the dizziness in his soul. All his attention was focused on that writhing rift; this was their only chance, a strike that would determine their fate.

In an instant, Jiang Duyue had already charged forward, the Star-Slaying Blade, sharp enough to tear through space and time, piercing deep into the rift in the belly of the Ancient Corrupted Beast, penetrating straight through and reaching its vital core. The cosmic sharpness of the blade erupted instantly, frantically shredding the Corrupted Beast's energy core and life force. The evil power and the power of the star fragments clashed violently, unleashing a devastating storm within its body.

"roar--!!!"

A deafening roar pierced the heavens and earth. The massive body of the Ancient Corrupt Beast convulsed and struggled wildly, its sixteen tentacled arms flailing erratically. Rotten flesh, entrails, maggots, and bones flew everywhere, and blackish-red blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the icy rain and snow, melting the snow on the ground into pools of black, poisonous water. Its nine strange eyes quickly dimmed and lost their luster, the malevolent mist surrounding it rapidly dissipated, and the agonizing howls of the soul-devouring vengeful spirits gradually subsided. The massive body slowly collapsed to the ground with a deafening roar, causing the earth to tremble violently. The icy rain and blizzard crashed down on its body, but could no longer elicit any reaction.

This ancient, decaying beast, a mid-level fifth-tier Qiongji Realm beast that had roamed the ruins for a century and slaughtered countless humans, finally perished after the two fought a bloody battle and suffered severe injuries.

The icy rain continued to pour, and the heavy snow continued to fall. The oppressive and suffocating feeling between heaven and earth did not dissipate, but instead grew even stronger. The gale still howled, and the chaotic black and white intertwined enveloped the fields. The air was filled with a thick stench of blood, decay, and poisonous fog, making it difficult to breathe. The deathly silence and coldness between heaven and earth enveloped the entire ruins like a tomb.

Yu Moyan and Jiang Duyue collapsed onto the cold ground, their bodies covered in blood, their armor shattered, and their auras utterly depleted. Yu Moyan's Imperial Dragon Scale Armor was cracked in several places, golden blood soaking through his clothes. His meridians were broken in multiple places, his soul was severely damaged, and his sea of ​​consciousness was in chaos. The power of soul-corroding continued to erode his soul, and every heartbeat was accompanied by excruciating pain. Jiang Duyue's Celestial Star Armor was dented and cracked, pale silver essence blood staining the dark silver armor. His left arm was completely rotten and blackened, and the putrid poison had already invaded his internal organs. His star essence was severely depleted, making it extremely difficult for him to even open his eyes. His body was stiff like an ice sculpture, and the self-healing ability of his sacred body was suppressed by the evil power, making it almost impossible to function.

This battle was the most arduous since their breakthrough to the Sacred Body realm. With their peak cultivation at the third tier of the Qiongji Realm, they had crossed two major realms to slay a mid-tier fifth-tier demonic beast. The price they paid was severe injuries and near death. Had it not been for the formidable power of their Sacred Body origins and the protection of their Imperial Armor, they would have long since perished. The two lay in the cold snow and icy rain, soaked to the bone, chilled to the bone. They lacked the strength to even move a finger, only able to gasp for breath, feeling their life force slowly draining away. The excruciating pain from their wounds and the dizziness of their souls intertwined, tormenting their will.

After catching his breath for a long time, Yu Moyan, relying on the tenacious support of the Emperor's Holy Body and the luck of the human race, endured the excruciating pain and slowly got up. With each movement, the wounds all over his body would tear open, golden blood dripping continuously, and the shattered armor rubbing against his skin, bringing piercing pain. He staggered to the corpse of the Ancient Corrupted Beast, holding the Evil-Suppressing Slash Blade, and with the last bit of strength, he dissected the Ancient Corrupted Beast's head, and a dark black star core the size of a head slowly emerged.

This star core was enveloped in a dense aura of malevolent energy and boundless power. Its surface was covered with intricate patterns, and a faint red light flickered at its core. It was a mid-level fifth-tier star core of the Qiongji Realm, containing terrifying energy reserves sufficient to significantly boost a cultivator's cultivation level. It was also remarkably effective for healing and purifying malevolent energy. The energy fluctuations emanating from the star core were exceptionally clear amidst the icy rain and blizzard. Even though it contained malevolent energy, it was still an extremely precious treasure. Yu Moyan reached out and put the star core into his storage space. Then, he staggered to Jiang Duyue's side, sat cross-legged, and channeled a wisp of gentle, golden-yellow star energy into him to help suppress the corrosive poison and soul-corroding power within his body.

A gentle surge of stellar energy flowed into Jiang Duyue's body, temporarily stabilizing the rampant evil power within him. The festering wounds stopped spreading, and the dizziness in his soul eased slightly. Jiang Duyue slowly opened his eyes, the starry river in them still dim. He nodded, indicating that he was temporarily alright. He gripped the Star-Splitting Blade in his hand, attempting to mobilize a wisp of stellar energy, but found that his meridians were already blocked. He had no choice but to give up, relying on the stellar energy transferred from Yu Moyan to barely maintain his life.

Leaning against a broken stone pillar, the two rested briefly in the icy rain and blizzard, trying to regain some strength and suppress their injuries. The world was deathly silent, save for the sounds of pounding rain and swirling snow, and the stench emanating from the corpse of the Ancient Corrupt Beast. The oppressive atmosphere weighed heavily on their hearts, making them vaguely aware that this crisis was far from over. The Ancient Corrupt Beast, as the overlord of these ruins, was not an isolated entity; behind it, there must be an even more terrifying being. The earlier battle and roars had already alerted the ferocious creatures lurking in the shadows.

Just then, from the distant, desolate, and ancient mountain range that stretched for thousands of miles and had long since withered and died, a furious roar that shook the heavens and the earth suddenly came.

This roar was far more ferocious, terrifying, and profound than that of the Ancient Corrupt Beast, containing boundless rage and overwhelming evil power. It was as if an ancient ferocious beast, slumbering for millennia, had been completely awakened. The sound waves swept in all directions, scattering icy rain and blizzards, causing the earth to tremble violently, collapsing all the broken ruins, and even slightly distorting space and time itself. The roar carried extreme killing intent and rage, like the roar of an ancient demon god, piercing straight into their souls. It instantly stirred up a storm in the sea of ​​consciousness of Yu Moyan and Jiang Duyue. Their already injured souls were further impacted, and both of them simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood, their faces ashen, their eyes filled with extreme solemnity and vigilance.

The roar clearly conveyed a message: it had sensed the death of the Ancient Corruption Beast, regarded the two as irreconcilable enemies, and a crisis far more terrifying than fighting the Corruption Beast had already arrived.

Yu Moyan and Jiang Duyue's expressions changed drastically. They abruptly looked up towards the desolate, barren mountain, their eyes filled with solemnity and vigilance. The last of their star energy tightened instantly, preparing them for battle at any moment. They knew that the being lurking within the barren mountain was far stronger than the Ancient Corrupted Beast. In their current severely injured and near-death state, they had no chance of fighting back; their lives hung by a thread.

But in that instant, the light in the world dimmed to its extreme, the icy rain stopped, the snow froze, the gale dissipated, and all sounds ceased.

The entire world fell into absolute silence.
