Chapter 1422: The Abyss Has Arrived

Author: Sanjiu YinyuWord Count: 1262

The ground trembled.

At this moment, in the Gray Realm outside the Southern Sea Domain, a Crimson Heaven Sect outpost shook violently. Numerous Crimson Heaven Sect followers simultaneously turned their heads towards the direction of the faint rumbling, their eyes filled with bewilderment.

An earthquake?

At that moment, this naive thought flashed through the minds of all the Crimson Heaven Sect followers.

But the next second, fine cracks began to spread across the ground of the outpost. The Crimson Heaven Sect followers looked down in confusion, and before they could react, the fine cracks rapidly interlaced. The earth was instantly torn open, and a massive abyss, wider than the entire outpost, dramatically split open!

“Ahhhhhh!!!”

Deprived of the ground's support, all the outpost's buildings collapsed with a roar. The Crimson Heaven Sect followers and the entire outpost plunged directly into the pitch-black abyss. A terrifying sensation of weightlessness gripped the hearts of all the followers.

They had no idea what was happening, only screaming in terror. A few bishops reacted quickly, immediately trying to grab onto protruding rocks on the cliff face, hoping to stop their descent.

However,

The next moment, countless 'stars' silently opened in the pitch-black abyss.

They were countless eyes of venomous insects, filled with excitement and thrill.

The Crimson Heaven Sect's torches extinguished as they fell,

and screams of terror and despair echoed through the abyss.

This enormous abyssal maw, extending from the depths of the Gray Realm, annihilated the entire Crimson Heaven Sect outpost as if swallowing a small snack. Simultaneously, the abyss continued to spread towards the Southern Sea Domain, resembling a monstrous black dragon slithering across the earth.

Boom—

Boom—!!

As the Scholar made his move, massive ice pillars, roaring like meteors, shattered into fragments in mid-air.

Countless head-sized ice shards swept across the ground like hail, exploding on the surface of the Realm Train. But the Realm Train, being a crystallization of human civilization, only sustained minor dents from these impacts.

Above, Sizai, who had been constantly observing the Realm Train, narrowed its eyes slightly:

“Don't attack the body. That thing is harder than we thought…”

“Try cutting off the tracks.”

As Sizai finished speaking, several eighth-tier calamities from the Forbidden Sea immediately changed direction and surged towards the distant tracks.

However, Jizai, standing nearby, was growing impatient. Seeing that Sizai had completed its fusion with a human demigod and gained a human domain, its inner frenzy began to spread… There wasn't much time left until the Red Star's return, after all.

A deafening, low rumble erupted from within Jizai. The frost that already covered the entire Southern Sea Domain seemed to come alive, churning violently like ocean waves!

Apocalyptic energy surged through the Southern Sea Domain. The Scholar above the Realm Train and everyone inside the carriages simultaneously changed their expressions!

“Damn it, Jizai has made its move!”

Around a section of the tracks where the train was moving, surging waves suddenly erupted. Several grotesque, pitch-black tentacles seemed to burst forth from the splashing water, carrying apocalyptic-level energy as they slammed down onto the tracks!

Clang—

Clang—!

Clang—!!!

Thunderous clangs erupted from the tracks. The vibrations rapidly transmitted along the rails, causing the distant carriages to rumble. Zhao Yi, Pu Xiachan, and others immediately covered their ears, as if their eardrums would be torn apart by the sound.

Jizai's first strike shattered the ground around the tracks, even creating a vacuum in the nearby frost and waves.

When the second and third strikes landed, a massive crater appeared beneath the tracks. A section of the track, losing all support, stretched out suspended in the air, yet it still did not break.

“Are these tracks really that sturdy? They withstood three apocalyptic strikes?” The Councilor's eyes widened in disbelief.

“The Realm Train was built through the painstaking efforts of generations of Masters from the Ingenious Divine Path… Even if the Ingenious Divine Path has declined now, its past glory still shines brightly.” A hint of reminiscence appeared in the Pu Family Patriarch's eyes.

The Realm Train was once called the artery of humanity's nine domains. Its ability to travel safely through the disaster-ridden Gray Realm for so many years was certainly extraordinary.

However, the current generation only knows of the Realm Train itself, with few aware of the history of its construction. It is a treasured artifact left by human ancestors and a crystallization of human civilization.

The fact that a formidable apocalyptic disaster failed to destroy a section of the train tracks only fueled Jizai's rage!

It raised a tentacle, about to act, when Sizai, standing nearby, suddenly spoke.

The next second, the raised tentacle did not strike the tracks. Instead, it swept along the track's surface, directly towards the Realm Train that was flying low along the rails!

Jizai's tentacles, scorched black and curled from the high-speed friction against the tracks, did not stop but accelerated even more…

Those inside the carriage only saw a black shadow rapidly growing larger before their eyes!

CRASH—!!

With a colossal crash, the tentacles directly entangled with the train's rapidly rotating wheel hubs, forcibly pushing the entire train off the tracks and briefly sending it airborne!!

This brief moment of airtime caused the train to lose its center of gravity, veering off course and crashing violently onto the ground to one side!

Everyone inside the train felt a dizzying sensation.

THUD—!!!

The incredibly heavy train, like an out-of-control beast, tumbled wildly through the ruins, crushing several calamities that couldn't escape in time. The entire carriage was caked in dust and blood, a grotesque sight.

“Damn it!!” The Scholar, still in mid-air, was startled.

He hadn't expected these calamities to tackle the Realm Train in such a way. Now, with the locomotive and carriages off the tracks, returning to the rails and breaking through the encirclement was impossible… Countless calamities surrounded them, and the auras of two apocalyptic disasters surged above!

The Scholar, without hesitation, propelled himself forward, wanting to check on the people inside the carriage. The next second, an eighth-tier calamity from the Forbidden Sea descended from above, directly blocking his path.

From the overturned carriage wreckage that had crashed into the ruins, the doors were violently torn open, and figures stumbled out…

The violent impact from Jizai's attack was manageable for Han Meng and the others, only causing minor scrapes. But the only ordinary person inside the carriage, the Councilor, had slammed his head against the ceiling. Blood steadily spread around him; he was already breathless.

Han Meng, carrying Zhao Yi, crawled out through a shattered window of the carriage. Although they had survived Jizai's recent attack, there was no joy in their hearts…

Only endless despair remained on Pu Shu's face.

The train overturned, calamities besieging them… The dozens of terrifying entities, exuding eighth-tier auras, encircled them like continuous mountain ranges, clearly intending to leave them no path to survival.

Just then,

the ground began to tremble violently!!
