Chapter 695: Pollution
Chapter 695: Pollution
Time passed like a shuttle.
Since Chen Mu entered the Yuan Jing, a period of time had also passed.
In the vast universe, the signs of the End Catastrophe were becoming increasingly evident. The omens and initial forms of the impending end were beginning to appear in many remote regions of the void, and the Nan Hua Kong Zuo was one of them.
Located at the border of the Fang Gu Domain, the An Tian Zhi Yuan.
Over a dozen True Gods were guarding the area.
Suddenly,
A strange wave erupted from the An Tian Zhi Yuan, sending out a bizarre and profound ripple.
"Ah!"
A True God who was relatively close to the An Tian Zhi Yuan was affected by this wave, and in an instant, he cried out. His divine body immediately started to deform and crumble.
He did not immediately perish, but the strange ripples brought a force of disorder and chaos, distorting the original order into a chaotic form.
"Help, help..."
This True God was unable to control the deformation of his body. Fear flashed in his eyes, but in the next moment, his eyeballs twisted and crumbled, and countless strange tendrils sprouted from them, tearing at the nearby void.
His entire body was shrinking, gradually losing its human shape, and transforming into a tangled mass of chaotic abnormalities. From within, he drew out one sinister tentacle after another, clinging to the surrounding nothingness.
"This..."
"What's going on?"
The other True Gods guarding the An Tian Zhi Yuan quickly noticed the situation and their faces changed.
None of them dared to approach, let alone attempt a rescue. Instead, they swiftly retreated, fleeing as far away as possible. Soon, they all escaped the An Tian Zhi Yuan.
"No, wait... Don't... I..."
The True God who had shrunk into a strange creature continued to make sounds, but they were no longer coherent words. They had become completely jumbled and incomprehensible, gradually turning into a strange muttering.
This change wasn't limited to his divine body.
In that instant, all his avatars within the Fang Gu Domain were affected simultaneously, one after another, undergoing deformation.
The True God affected was the Jin Yuan Jie Zhu, the ruler of the Jin Yuan Da Jie. At that moment, in the central region of the Jin Yuan Jie, within a golden light-filled paradise known as the Ji Le Shijie.
"Ahh!"
A piercing scream echoed from the center of the Jin Yuan Jie.
And then,
The Jin Yuan Jie Zhu, seated high upon a golden throne, was in the midst of imparting his wisdom to the numerous newly ascended divine beings. In an instant, his body trembled, twisted, and deformed, rapidly shrinking.
His skull caved in, his limbs retracted, and a chaotic and terrifying aura spread from his body.
"What's happening...?"
Below, dozens of Jin Yuan Jie True Gods were listening to the Jin Yuan Jie Zhu's teachings. Upon seeing this, they were initially stunned, and then their faces changed. The closest one attempted to sense the situation of the Jin Yuan Jie Zhu.
But before he could fully comprehend, a strange long beard, like a tentacle, shot out from the collapsing body of the Jin Yuan Jie Zhu, enveloping the nearby True God.
"Ahh!"
Upon contact with the strange beard, the True God cried out in pain. His body began to uncontrollably shrink and deform.
Seeing this, the other True Gods' faces paled, knowing that something significant had occurred. They dared not linger and immediately fled in all directions. However, the strange, deforming aura began to rapidly spread from the center of the Jin Yuan Jie.
...
Deep within the Fang Gu Dian.
Tai Chen Shen Jun was meditating here, assimilating the gains from his recent exploration of the secret realm.
Suddenly, he sensed something amiss, and his eyes snapped open, focusing on a specific area within the Fang Gu Dian. His eyes revealed a hint of shock, and he immediately stood up, vanishing from his original spot.
When he reappeared, he had reached a corner of the Fang Gu Dian. This area was originally an independent space created by the Fang Gu Dian, serving as the residences for the avatars of the divine beings. However, at this moment, the independent space was being forcibly torn apart!
From the numerous rifts, strange tendrils—some black, some transparent, and some indescribable—were spreading out, filled with extreme chaos, like a plague, throughout the Fang Gu Dian.
"Suppress!"
Seeing the situation, Tai Chen Shen Jun's eyes turned grave, and without hesitation, he unleashed the power of a Shen Jun, merging the dual mysteries of the Zao-hua Dao. He forcibly restrained the spreading bizarre aura.
Even with the might of a Divine Lord, he forcefully suppressed this bizarre aura, but Tai Chen Divine Lord's eyes did not show a hint of relief. Instead, they were filled with solemnity, as he sensed the strangeness and terror of this power. Although it was extremely weak, seemingly only possessing the might of a Four or Five Heavens, its essence was of an extremely high level, so much so that he couldn't perceive it clearly.
It was only by relying on the power of a Divine Lord that he barely managed to suppress it.
If it were anyone below the level of a Divine Lord who encountered this bizarre power, they would likely be immediately infected by it.
"If I remember correctly, this place should be the independent space of the Jin Yuan Realm Lord. Has something happened to the Jin Yuan Realm Lord? What terrifying thing has he encountered, or what dangerous place has he fallen into?"
Tai Chen Divine Lord stared ahead, quickly discerning the situation.
This power did not come from outside; it suddenly emerged from within the Fan Gu Palace. However, everything has its cause and effect, and it was impossible for such a bizarre power to appear out of thin air and infiltrate the Fan Gu Palace from within. Combined with the circumstances here, it didn't take long to deduce that it was highly likely that the Jin Yuan Realm Lord had come into contact with something terrible, causing his incarnation to be affected.
Moreover, the infiltrating power was of an extremely high level, even penetrating the Fan Gu Palace, which couldn't stop it. This caused the Jin Yuan Realm Lord's incarnation to completely deform, being eroded by that power, and it even attempted to further spread, eroding the entire Fan Gu Palace.
Swish!
Just as Tai Chen Divine Lord tried to observe the situation further, another figure silently appeared.
"Master."
Tai Chen Divine Lord recognized the newcomer and immediately spoke.
It was none other than the incarnation of Fan Gu Divine Lord, and the strange occurrences within the Fan Gu Palace couldn't escape his eyes.
"..."
Fan Gu Divine Lord fixed his gaze on the eroded area ahead, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. After a brief moment of contemplation, he waved his sleeve, and in an instant, the power of the entire Fan Gu Palace was mobilized. The eroded area was directly severed from the Fan Gu Palace and, with a shake of his sleeve, forcibly thrown into the depths of the void, exiled.
Watching Fan Gu Divine Lord's actions, Tai Chen Divine Lord's eyes grew more serious, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Master, what exactly is this...?"
"The An Tian Abyss has encountered a problem."
Fan Gu Divine Lord spoke with a heavy voice, then turned his gaze to a certain direction and said, "Follow me quickly; we're going to the Jin Yuan Realm first."
"Okay."
Tai Chen Divine Lord immediately complied.
The two figures swiftly vanished within the Fan Gu Palace.
Soon,
Outside the Jin Yuan Realm.
Fan Gu Divine Lord's incarnation and Tai Chen Divine Lord arrived together.
At this moment, the entire Jin Yuan Realm presented a terrifying sight. What was once a majestic world filled with golden light had now twisted into an extremely bizarre form at its core, covered in grotesque flesh tumors and filled with chaotic and mottled auras. This aura continued to spread outward.
The entire Jin Yuan Realm was in chaos. Countless creatures were being eroded by the bizarre aura, transforming into indescribable monsters. Only a small number of True Gods were fleeing in a panic, one by one, escaping from the Jin Yuan Realm.
"Suppress!"
Fan Gu Divine Lord's incarnation, upon seeing this situation, also had a solemn expression. Without hesitation, he raised his palm and pressed down, unleashing a mighty force of a Divine Lord that instantly fell upon the Jin Yuan Realm.
The Jin Yuan Realm violently shook, and under Fan Gu Divine Lord's strike, it began to distort and deform. The vast and boundless world was forcibly folded by the void power controlled by Fan Gu Divine Lord, compressing and condensing it inward.
With a single strike,
Countless creatures within the Jin Yuan Realm were annihilated.
However, neither Fan Gu Divine Lord nor Tai Chen Divine Lord paid any attention to these mortal creatures. They both stared at the core of the Jin Yuan Realm, where the bizarre aura's source was located.
Boom!
In the end, the entire Jin Yuan Realm was crushed by Fan Gu Divine Lord's strike, compressed into a ball, and then forcibly thrown into the depths of the void, quickly disappearing amidst the chaotic void power.
Tai Chen Divine Lord watched with a serious gaze, standing by the side. Although he had also become a Divine Lord and could destroy an entire realm, he couldn't match the efficiency of Fan Gu Divine Lord in annihilating a realm and tossing it into the turbulent depths of the void.
Even though Fan Gu Divine Lord's body here was merely an incarnation, his control over the void power far surpassed Tai Chen Divine Lord's.
"Let's go."
Fan Gu Divine Lord didn't hesitate or stop to speak with the few True Gods who had escaped the Jin Yuan Realm. He called out to Tai Chen once and immediately left the Jin Yuan Realm, heading towards the border of the Fan Gu Domain.
Soon,
The two of them passed through the border and arrived in the void outside the realm, reaching the location of the An Tian Abyss.
As soon as Tai Chen arrived, his expression turned solemn, revealing an extremely serious demeanor. He noticed that the area affected by the Dark Abyss had now expanded far beyond its previous reach!
Clearly, something significant had occurred within the Dark Abyss, causing its range to nearly double in size within a short period.
Vangwu Divine Lord's gaze was equally grave, but he didn't hesitate. He took a step forward and entered the Dark Abyss, immediately spotting the pitch-black chasm that spanned the heavens. Once lifeless, it now seemed to have come to life, like a reviving heart slowly beating, giving off an eerie and unsettling feeling.
"The Dark Abyss has indeed undergone a significant change," Tai Chen Divine Lord spoke in a low voice.
In the past, he had guarded the Dark Abyss and encountered the Dark Tide, but even that wasn't particularly dangerous and rarely threatened lives.
But now, having attained the rank of Divine Lord, as he gazed into the depths of the Dark Abyss, he felt a sense of foreboding and an intense threat.
Clearly, the change in the Dark Abyss was far more severe than the Dark Tide.
"Gurgle, sizzle..."
At that moment, a strange murmur echoed, and from the dim void, a distorted and bizarre life form emerged. It resembled a bloated tumor with countless fine tendrils like delicate hairs covering its body.
Whoosh!
As it approached Vangwu Divine Lord and Tai Chen Divine Lord, the tendrils suddenly elongated, transforming into eerie tentacles that penetrated the void and reached out towards the two.
Both Vangwu and Tai Chen reacted swiftly, simultaneously unleashing their divine might, crushing the sinister tentacles that had spread through the void.
Boom!
The bizarre life form was blasted apart by their combined attack, its body exploding.
In that instant, Tai Chen vaguely sensed a subtle aura and narrowed his eyes, looking in the direction of the shattered creature. "Jin Yuan Realm Lord?"
"It seems so," Vangwu Divine Lord replied, his gaze fixed ahead. "He must have been corrupted by the Dark Abyss, leading to this mutation. This corruption has permeated all his incarnations and spread into the Fanggu Domain."
"This power is truly bizarre... When did the Dark Abyss become like this?" Tai Chen Divine Lord asked, his voice heavy with apprehension as he glanced at the spot where Jin Yuan Realm Lord's monstrous incarnation had been destroyed and then at the distant core of the Dark Abyss.
Vangwu Divine Lord remained silent for a while before murmuring, "Perhaps it's related to the End Catastrophe."
"The End Catastrophe?" Tai Chen's expression turned puzzled at the mention of this term.
"I only recently heard about the End Catastrophe," Vangwu Divine Lord explained in a low voice. "It's said that various changes are occurring throughout the universe, but I know very little about the specifics."
Upon hearing Vangwu Divine Lord's description, Tai Chen was even more astonished. Even Vangwu Divine Lord only had a vague understanding?
After a moment of silence, Tai Chen spoke, "The Dark Abyss seems to be gradually expanding. If this continues, it might soon erode the Fanggu Domain. Master, what should we do?"
Vangwu Divine Lord paused briefly before shaking his head. "If my true body were here, I might be able to stop it to some extent, but I lack the means to do so now. Hmm... If this change in the Dark Abyss is related to the so-called End Catastrophe, then he should know about it."
Although he didn't mention a name, Tai Chen knew whom Vangwu Divine Lord was referring to.
Mu Shenjun, Chen Mu.
One of the two Nine Heavens' Divine Lords of the Nan Hua Void Seat, equal in status to the Nan Hua Master, if even Chen Mu didn't know the details of the End Catastrophe, it meant that they weren't meant to know.
"With such a significant change in the Dark Abyss, he should know..." Vangwu Divine Lord gazed into the Fanggu Domain.
Since their last discussion with Chen Mu, Vangwu Divine Lord hadn't visited him in a while, neither in the Fanggu Domain nor in the Molten Fire City in the Endless Abyss. He had only heard about the End Catastrophe from the leader of the Yan Yang Association, who also lacked further details.
Perhaps it was time to visit Chen Mu and inquire about this End Catastrophe and the situation with the Dark Abyss.
