Chapter 654 Old Gods, Fallen God, Angel of God (4K)_2
Tianyuan City.
Mu Yuan naturally heard about the disaster in Wan Shang Country at the first moment, obtaining firsthand detailed intelligence.
The shadow spread swiftly and eerily!
It was as if shadows blanketed the sky, a natural phenomenon, a force of nature and earth.
A force destined to yield certain outcomes.
A Holy Realm Great Power indeed can easily eradicate a local concept, turning space into utter nothingness, yet incapable of stopping, influencing, or covering the splendid force of an entire Great Domain.
In the face of such a force, even the Holy Realm, if it dares to block, is but a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
"If such a disaster heads toward Tianyuan City, the most we could do... is rely on the Ancient Mage Tower to hold it off for a moment, then escape with a few people."
Abandoning the city to escape!
That is all!
Besides this, Mu Yuan could not think of any other methods to oppose or block it.
Indeed, he was still too weak!
"Fortunately, the plot from Dragon Sleep Valley was thwarted earlier."
"As for stopping a calamity like this? I'm afraid the only way to stop or oppose it would be before the enemy acts."
That is to say...
Just now, maybe hundreds of seconds ago, or even a few hours ago, if Wan Shang Country and Shen Mu Dynasty dared to pay the price, if a Holy Realm Great Power personally risked disrupting the 'incantation' of Shadow King City, it was possible to mitigate this disaster or significantly reduce its affected area.
But, a Holy Realm personally taking risks? That's difficult.
In some Holy Realm's view, it would rather lose a peripheral Great Domain than risk their precious lives.
To some extent, this is also true.
The Holy Realm is the pillar of a nation.
The Great Domain losing one or two or three, the great country is just injured.
But the fall of few Holy Realms, the nation itself might collapse.
That's the logic, but when one Great Domain after another is engulfed, when the Red Mist Land continues to spread, even with the existence of the Holy Realm... where else is there to retreat?
"This world is indeed too dangerous."
...
The disaster in Wan Shang Country is the most horrifying encountered by the world, but it's not the only one.
Disasters are striking everywhere around the world.
Battles in Law Realm, Great War Zone, Holy Wars; some battlefields have been victorious, but many more are continuously retreating, one after another, top strongmen fall.
...
In Shen Luo Domain, along the continuous East Coastline.
Horrible Divine Power shakes heaven and earth, causing Legendary Realms thousands of kilometers away to tremble incessantly.
Two streaks of light crossed the sky, constantly colliding above the vault of heaven.
Then,
"Boom——!"
One of the streaks of light fell.
The pursuing light revealed its figure.
It was a Jackal Man, his hair like golden needles, his eyes swirling with crimson yet majestic light, a celestial and penetrating figure appeared behind him, overlooking the figure below.
It was a man in golden armor, his body ablaze with fierce flames, his red hair soaring into the sky.
He was extraordinarily valiant, surrounded by a mysterious divine charm, as if born a magnificent being.
"God of Fierce Flames, you too have this day."
The Jackal Man looked down, his voice thunderous yet filled with endless smugness.
After all,
The God of Fierce Flames, named after the flames, wielding the Power of Fire. How great, how noble was he? Even among many Divine Spirits, he was a top-ranking existence.
In the old era, it indeed was so.
Conversely, he 'Jackal Wolfman and Bloodthirsty God', merely a spirit worshiped by Jackal Men, wasn't even acknowledged by the true great gods.
At best, he was just a Quasi-god, a Demigod.
Back then, compared to the God of Fierce Flames, his status was like fireflies to the bright moon, utterly incomparable.
Yet, times have changed.
"To devote to the great, supreme filth, that was the most correct decision of my life!"
"Times have changed, you all are merely remnants of the old era, only we, bathed in the glory of filth, are the gods of the new era, hahahaha—"
The Supreme Jackal Wolfman figure emerged.
It's as if a concept from a holy realm traversed heaven and earth.
Outside the Shen Luo Domain, the main hall of the Star Luo Holy Palace.
"Crack—"
In the Temple of Thousand Gods, the God Statue symbolizing the God of Fierce Flames suddenly cracked and shattered completely.
The monks stationed here trembled, uncontrollable tears flowing, sobbing incessantly.
"The god... the god has fallen!"
Swiftly arriving strongmen also widened their eyes.
"The God of Fierce Flames has fallen, and… the authority symbolizing the flames has been taken. This god… has completely fallen."
Another arriving strongman spoke, "The God of Fierce Flames is, after all, a natural divine spirit, and there are still some symbols left. Perhaps, there might still be a chance for revival?"
"Perhaps. But now, even in his peak state, the God of Fierce Flames was still killed and fell. Even if he could revive, how much power would be left?"
In times when the God of Fierce Flames had massive followers, he was undoubtedly a figure in the Holy Realm.
Even among those in the Holy Realm, he was considered powerful.
However, times have changed, and nowadays the followers of the God of Fierce Flames are few, the divine system is relatively outdated, and the peak combat power of the God of Fierce Flames no longer compares to before.
Otherwise, he might not have perished at the hands of a Fallen God.
Moreover,
"There are not a few divine spirits who have symbolic objects. The former God of Purity, Heavenly Water, Thunderbolt... these once powerful deities have also fallen, and there are hardly a few who can revive and return."
Star Luo Holy Palace was originally an entity where the gods of the old era gathered to keep warm and spread faith.
However, today, every divine spirit in the holy palace is struggling to protect themselves, let alone… many forces under the sanctuary's protection.
And now, every power within the Shen Luo Domain is facing an increasingly tricky predicament.
None of these issues concern Tianyuan City at the moment.
Right now,
Even though Tianyuan City wasn't affected, Lord Shepherd was still very busy.
He was busy arranging one evolutionary legend after another, and also busy coordinating numerous legendary breakthrough ceremonies.
Especially the breakthroughs of the angels.
After undergoing the baptism of heaven and earth, in the past few days, the queue for fourth-order strongmen preparing to breakthrough to the Legendary Realm in Tianyuan City was truly vast.
Mu Yuan prioritized the angels for breakthroughs.
He constructed the Essence Soul Source Pool and arranged for angels who had yet to reach the fourth-order limit to enter it.
"The number of Legendary Realm Angels has already surpassed forty."
"And there are still more angels queuing for a breakthrough."
Mu Yuan has never felt such a moment when he thought his own Breakthrough Dojo was still far too few too few!
In Tianyuan City, the two visible sites showed continuing signs of legendary breakthroughs in the past few days, which has already astonished countless people. Yet, there are even more breakthrough sites built within the Dragon Mound Fertile Land Secret Realm and the World Secret Realm.
Even inside the Ancient Mage Tower, there are two such sites.
As the number of Legendary Realm Angels rapidly increased, Lapis also received feedback.
At this moment,
In her eyes, the path of the Angel King became much clearer; she was stepping on this path, one step, two steps, three steps rapidly forward.
"Only a third of the distance left."
"And..."
With confidence, Lapis believed she would soon conquer the remaining distance.
After all, Lord had already arranged most things; if she, Lapis, could not climb it, wouldn't she be too useless?
However…
Lapis gazed into the distance, where the gate to the Holy Realm was faintly visible.
And looked around.
Beside the path, there were wisps of white smoke, barely visible.
Not much white smoke, not very noticeable, but seemingly some form of aid.
She was well aware of what these mists were.
They were the Power of Faith.
She saw many people praying inside the grand cathedral.
People praising the Holy Light on the streets.
She saw many people gazing at the Sky Domain, talking incessantly about a recent battle. She also seemed to see the paths of the 'Judge God' and 'Guardian God', manifesting beneath the path of 'Angel King'.
This moment, even Lapis had some enlightenment.
