The Wasteland Continent, which used to be vast and boundless, was now devoid of life. As far as the eye could see, the entire place was covered by a boundless blood cloud. The blood cloud was like a ferocious beast, howling and devouring everything in the world.
The Human World, the Beast World, the Demon World, and the Ocean Realm were now all in the blood cloud's bag, becoming its food.
In short, looking down from the sky, the entire Wasteland Continent was no longer intact. It was like a huge blood-colored eggshell, and the blood cloud had completely covered the entire Wasteland Continent.
In the center of the blood cloud, there were countless terrifying blood-colored rays intertwining with each other. These blood-colored rays finally gathered on a figure, transmitting all the power in the world to this figure.
The figure opened his eyes greedily, but there was a flash of anger between his brows.
"Still no movement?"
The figure kept searching in the blood cloud, as if he was looking for something.
"Human Sovereign, I don't believe that you can make all living beings disappear into thin air. The world is now mine, I will definitely find them."
The figure slowly closed his eyes again. Not long after, a crack suddenly appeared in this absurd and declining world.
As the crack appeared, a ray of light was emitted. This was the original color of the Wasteland Continent, and it formed a sharp contrast with the blood cloud.
Zhe Tian suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the shattered space in the distance through these blood-colored rays.
"Tsk tsk, I finally found them?
Human Sovereign, it seems that you have lost this battle. Now, I will destroy your last hope! "
Whoosh!
In an instant, the figure disappeared from where he stood. What followed was thousands of rays of blood-red light. Then, a wave of power filled with bloodthirsty killing intent gathered into a ball. This ball of bloody aura gave off a chill that made the world tremble from time to time. It surged towards the pure void and enveloped it.
Rumble!
In the next moment, a distant place that seemed to be the end of the world shook violently.
In front of a huge stone tablet in the Void Realm, Jade In The Book was dressed in snow-white clothes. Ever since Qin Shi had started his closed-door cultivation, she had been guarding this place. For the sake of Qin Shi's safety, she had created countless ancient formations in front of this stone tablet, each of which had the power to kill Life and Death experts.
Suddenly, her willowy eyebrows furrowed and a solemn expression appeared on her flawless face. A cold glint flashed across her eyes and she stared at the outside of the Void World like a knife.
She could clearly sense that there was a terrifying force rapidly approaching the Void Realm from that place.
She knew that Zhe Tian had found them.
Jade In The Book looked at Qin Shi with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
"Silly boy, you've traveled thousands of miles to wake me up all these years. This time, before you wake up, it's my turn to protect you!" Jade In The Book's petite figure flashed, and she flew towards the best spot in the Void Realm.
Clouds and mist lingered there, and countless figures gathered there. Fufeng and the other experts from the Ancient Era all had solemn expressions on their faces.
"It's Zhe Tian. Thirty thousand years ago, the Human Sovereign deliberately brought the Devouring Sacred Crystal to an extremely secluded place in order to buy more time for that boy, and set up a great formation to protect it. But now, it seems that he still found out," said Fufeng.
"How long can the Devouring Sacred Crystal's defense hold him off?" Many experts from the Ancient Era asked.
"I don't know … It's impossible for anyone below the Martial Emperor Realm to destroy the Devouring Sacred Crystal, but I'm not sure if it's someone above the Martial Emperor Realm. It should be able to hold him off for a year."
"A year …"
Many experts' hearts were in their throats. They looked towards an ancient stone tablet not far away, and saw a skinny young man sitting cross-legged inside.
One year. They still had one year left. But could the boy really make a breakthrough in this one year?
If he couldn't, then they might not have another chance.
"Tsk tsk, it's really been hard for me to find him."
Finally, the sky above the Void Realm was no longer blue, and was shrouded by a thick blood cloud. Then, the blood cloud continued to press down, leaving cracks on the Void Realm.
Looking through the spiderweb-like cracks, Ying Huo's figure was particularly eye-catching.
"Zhe Tian!" Fufeng roared.
Zhe Tian looked around, looked at the Void Realm, and smiled, "I didn't expect the Human Sovereign to tamper with the Devouring Sacred Crystal. He's quite smart. Thirty thousand years ago, the three of us worked together, but we still couldn't destroy the Devouring Sacred Crystal. But it's a pity … it seems that the crystal formed by the living beings of this world isn't that tough after all."
The cracks continued to spread, and Zhe Tian grinned wickedly.
"Fufeng, this world is already yours. Could it be that you insist on being ruthless?"
"Hehe, I'm not trying to kill all of you. I just want all of you to become a part of me. What I want is the power of Heaven and Earth. I can't lose even one of you!" Zhe Tian laughed excitedly.
Everyone's hearts grew heavier, and the chilling blood Qi continued to press down on them.
Fufeng gritted his teeth, shook his wrist, and unleashed all of his power. This thing … is actually trying to mend the sky?
The cracks that Zhe Tian had destroyed were slightly repaired after being infused with a bit of Fufeng's power.
Everyone clenched their fists when they saw what Fufeng was doing.
"Let's do it too. Everyone, let's buy time for that kid!"
More and more people began to unleash their own power in an attempt to resist Zhe Tian. They were willing to even if it was just for a balance.
Unfortunately, the power of the Emperor Realm was unstoppable. Even the living beings of this world couldn't defy it.
Boom!
The power they unleashed was constantly destroyed, and it was of no use at all. The Void Realm continued to shatter.
Everyone clenched their fists tightly. One year. They all knew that in this world, in all living things, there was only one year left.
"Qin Shi, you can do it!"
"Brat, you have to succeed!"
Everyone used the last of their power to call out to him.
However, Qin Shi didn't know what was happening in the outside world. He had completely fallen into an unknown space. There was no heaven or earth in this space, and there were no living beings. There was only him and the evil demon in this world.
The two of them were connected by an optical fiber, and Qin Shi's body flickered constantly.
At this moment, Qin Shi felt like he was bearing the weight of the world, and he was above it all.
For an entire year, Qin Shi had been in a deep slumber. During this period of time, he had actually gone into a mental journey several times. However, it was not only space that he had gone into a mental journey. He had even gone into a mental journey of time. He had appeared on the Wasteland Continent thirty thousand years ago.
The evil demon once said that a divine item would appear every time he went into a mental trance. He appeared in the Devil Realm, the Human Realm, the Beast Realm, and in the endless sea.
He sensed many of the most ancient powers in the world.
Rumble!
Finally, a year passed. All living beings had been waiting for Qin Shi to wake up one day.
However, what they waited for was not Qin Shi waking up. Instead, after a year, the blood cloud in the outside world finally let out a huge explosion.
The Void Realm was broken.
The moment the Void Realm was shattered, it was as if a bubble in the deep sea had suddenly burst open. Following that, an endless amount of Blood Qi gushed in, and no one was able to resist the devouring of this blood cloud.
In the end, the Void World was filled with endless Blood Qi.
"No!" All living beings wailed.
"Hiss, it's over. Old dog Huang Ling, your bullsh * t fate ends here!"
Zhe Tian smiled greedily. Then, he looked at the stone tablet in the distance, and his evil eyes flashed fiercely, "Eh, the aura of a Martial Emperor?
Looks like that kid has found a way to break through to Martial Emperor, but it's too late!
I won't give you that chance! "
Boom!
As soon as Zhe Tian's voice fell, the earth shook. The Sacred Martial Devouring Crystal, which was supposed to be indestructible, suddenly cracked.
Then, a ferocious soul light smashed into the stone tablet where Qin Shi was cultivating in seclusion.
"Bastard!" All the experts widened their eyes. Fufeng gritted his teeth and leaped into the sky.
"Zhe Tian, we won't give you that chance even if we have to sacrifice all of us!"
"Hiss, Fufeng, you still don't understand the power of a Martial Emperor!"
The corners of Zhe Tian's mouth twitched, and he flicked his finger. It was only a slight movement, but Fufeng's withered body trembled like a lamp that had run out of oil.
"Senior Fufeng!" Lin Yu and the others rushed forward.
"They can't stop you. I'll do it!"
Jade in the Book's toes tapped lightly, and at this moment, she also flew high into the sky. Her jade-like hands clenched together, and a huge diagram actually floated behind her.
Zhe Tian couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the formation. He then revealed a playful smile. "Tsk tsk, little girl, I didn't expect the Ancient Underworld Formation of the Ternary Isolation Formation to be in your hands."
Jade In The Book didn't speak. She just looked at Zhe Tian coldly.
"If you want to kill him, kill me first!"
