**Chapter 1410: Desperate Roar**Author: Sanjiu YinyuWord Count: 1244
Zhao Yi froze.
He was about to step into the factory when, the next second, an earth-shattering roar came from the distant sky!
BOOM—!!
The roar was so immense that it made Zhao Yi tremble. He whipped his head around and saw a crack, stretching almost across the entire sky of the South Sea Domain, extending from the position of a certain opening...
“This is...” Zhao Yi’s eyes widened in disbelief.
At that moment,The sky cracked, and a desperate roar echoed.
Frightful cracks spread along the giant turtle's shell, and the characters inscribed on its surface shattered continuously. On the surface of the shell within the Gray World, an ancient figure's eyes snapped open!
“This is bad...” The Old Ancestor of the Pu family watched the crack that had torn through right beneath his feet, his heart sinking into the abyss.
Since the death of the giant turtle that bore the South Sea Domain, the contemporary Books and Gods Half-God had dedicated almost all his energy over the past few months to repairing and reinforcing the South Sea's outer shell. The Books and Gods Dao was inherently skilled in positional warfare, let alone when a Half-God was involved.
As a result, within a mere few months, the South Sea Domain had been transformed into a true super fortress. Even with the Forbidden Sea's frenzied attacks, and countless Eighth-Tier Calamities relentlessly assailing the turtle's shell, the South Sea Domain remained as solid as a rock... This was also the primary reason Chu Changqing dared to temporarily leave the South Sea Domain and venture alone to assist the Hidden Cloud Domain.
They had prepared well in advance, confident that even if Calamity of Dread Rage attacked personally, the South Sea Domain's outer shell would hold for a significant duration!
However, this absolute defensive capability was limited to the exterior of the turtle's shell.
For the South Sea Domain, the sky above them remained the original sky, untouched by the power of the Books and Gods Dao. While the defense was rock-solid externally, it was incredibly fragile internally.
The Old Ancestor of the Pu family could never have imagined that the perfect defense he had painstakingly built would be breached from within the South Sea Domain!
“How could this happen?”
The Old Ancestor of the Pu family's expression shifted repeatedly. He raised his hand, about to try and salvage the situation, when the next moment, a deep, hair-raising roar, accompanied by colossal waves of frost that seemed to freeze everything, swept in from the distance!
HUMM—!
Bone-chilling frost swept across the Gray World's land, freezing an astonishing thousand li instantly. A towering tsunami surged skyward from the distance, and amidst its turbulent waves, a colossal eye, like a dark sun of the deep sea, silently opened...
A vast and chilling aura of world-ending destruction, like a ferocious beast long dormant in the darkness, bared its fangs in that instant!
Piercing alarms blared through the South Sea Government.
The Blind Man rushed onto the third-floor balcony, his tightly shut eyes seemingly perceiving something as he stared intently towards the end of the sky's crack. Simultaneously, booming explosions erupted from various locations within the South Sea Domain!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM—!!
Flames erupted and thick smoke billowed. The Blind Man couldn't see the explosions, and their dense, thunderous sound made it impossible to discern their origin.
The Blind Man's chest heaved violently. He rapidly made calculations with his fingers, still attempting to divine something... With his Eighth-Tier Divination Dao abilities, he shouldn't have been in such a desperate situation, yet no matter how he divined, he received no results, as if something intangible was blocking everything.
“Someone! Tell me what's happening now?!” the Blind Man roared in frustration.
“The... the sky... the sky has cracked open!” a government staff member, standing beside him, stammered, staring blankly at the scene before them.
“What else?! Where in hell are these explosions coming from?!”
“It’s the granaries and water towers... and the field hospitals, civilian hospitals... Damn it, the armory was blown up too!!”
“So many places attacked simultaneously?! Impossible... Not a single opening should have fallen since the war began... How could they have done this...”
Before the Blind Man could finish his sentence, he suddenly seemed to realize something, his face turning ashen.
His fists clenched abruptly!!
“I was deceived... Damn it! Damn it!! Damn it!!!” The Blind Man's face contorted grotesquely. He wildly clawed at his hair, as if desperate to tear out his own brain, "I actually believed them... I am the eternal sinner of the South Sea Domain!!!!”
The sky collapsed with a roar, and countless calamities, accompanied by an extreme cold snap, descended from above.
More and more explosions echoed from within the South Sea Domain, followed by waves of terrified and despairing cries from the populace. Even within the South Sea Government itself, towering flames erupted.
“Who... who is it?! They couldn't have faked it so perfectly... Who is manipulating all of this?!!”
On the balcony, the Blind Man shrieked hysterically. His fingers furiously twitched as two lines of crimson blood streamed from the corners of his eyes; he was forcefully divining something, paying with his own life.
The blood from his eyes gradually blackened, and the Blind Man's life force visibly withered. Lines of ancient wrinkles began to creep across his cheeks...
Within the Blind Man's consciousness, a surging river began to take shape—the long river of destiny for the entire South Sea Domain. Every human, every wielder of the Divine Dao, every plant and tree, struggled to navigate this powerful current...
As he activated his Divination Dao at the cost of his life force, the Blind Man's consciousness began to float above the current. He gazed down at the surging river, moving upstream, attempting to locate the source of whatever was now influencing the domain's destiny.
He arduously moved forward step by step through the void, yet no matter how he searched, he found not the slightest anomaly within this vast current.
“Nothing? Impossible... This is impossible... Where is it hidden?!”
His consciousness continuously traced back along destiny's path, from the start of the decisive battle, several months prior, to the South Sea Domain's assault, and further back... He crossed one year, five years, ten years, yet still found no trace of the enemy.
Even when he based his search on the South Sea Domain's history and traced back nearly three hundred years, he still found nothing...
The Blind Man's life was almost completely consumed.
Just then, a faint, mocking laugh echoed in his mind.
The Blind Man froze.
Standing upon the river of destiny, he remembered to look up for the first time...
Above this branch of human destiny, spanning three hundred years, a storm cloud as black as ink loomed high over the river.
It floated higher than the Blind Man, so high that he couldn't discern its full form even by craning his neck. He only knew that, from some point over three hundred years ago, it had cast a shadow over this branch of human destiny... and at the far end of this stormy shadow lay the present-day South Sea Domain.
As if sensing the Blind Man's gaze, within the surging storm, a pair of eerie, hollow eyes slowly opened.
Within the storm, Calamity of Thought let out a soft laugh.
