Chapter 1436: Chapter 1436

The ground suddenly shook, and the huge tremors nearly caused many people to lose their footing. With their strength, it would take more than an ordinary shake to make them unsteady.

"What’s going on, is it an earthquake? There’s never been one here before."

"Strange, my power inside seemed to have briefly stalled just now, what’s going on?"

Many felt a sudden sense of foreboding and looked in the direction of the highlands.

The environment of the highlands was utterly annoying to them. People who entered would have to withdraw after a short battle. Plus, there were many monsters inside, along with various traps and special conditions.

As a result, despite the continuous attacks over the years, there had been virtually no effect.

Continuing to fight under these circumstances, who knows how long it would take to end. Unless those tier-seven elites acted, but they were also worried, afraid that Blood Lotus would trap them using the modified environment.

The most critical thing was, the sense of time for the tier-seven elites differed from theirs; they didn’t mind even if it took an exceedingly long time.

This concept of time was something Du You deeply despised. He was in a rush to proceed with his Cultivation. Yet today, the sudden onset of the tremors gave Du You an odd sensation, as if something was about to happen.

"Look quickly, what is that?" suddenly, someone pointed in the direction of the highlands.

Du You instinctively looked over, only to find that above the plateau, a mass of red clouds had started to converge. Indistinctly, it seemed there was a vague outline within, yet it was unclear what it was.

It seemed like there was the outline of a lotus below, and above it was a face, a face impossible to describe.

"Ah." Just as Du You was about to make out the face, he suddenly felt a tremendous pain in his head, and he couldn’t help but cry out in agony. "Don’t look, you can’t look at that thing," Du You hurriedly shouted.

But he was a moment too late; by that time, the two sisters had also seen it, clenching their heads and crouching down in pain.

After a long while, Du You’s head finally eased a bit, and he could control his thoughts again. Looking around, all the people were in great pain, with the severe cases even rolling on the ground.

Some soldiers below tier four died instantly after seeing the image in the sky.

Beside them were a lot of bone remnants, all from Demonic Flame Skeletons Du You had created. He hadn’t expected that without even an attack, just one look would cause all of his Demonic Flame Skeletons to shatter into pieces.

"What a terrifying power, what tier is it, eight or nine, or even higher?"

Du You lowered his head; he dared not look at the thing in the sky anymore. As for the tier-seven elites, Du You didn’t think it was them, because he had seen many tier-seven figures himself and never felt this way.

Even when the tier-seven experts fought with all their might, Du You only felt their immense power and horrific pressure, not the extent where one couldn’t dare to look them in the eye.

Moreover, Du You recalled that the outline he had just seen had completely disappeared from his mind.

It was as if his brain’s protective mechanism, encountering something unmemorable, had automatically chosen to erase it. Without that image, Du You felt his head lighten considerably.

What Du You didn’t know was that this scene was occurring everywhere in the world.

Those further away were alright; at least they wouldn’t die from just one glance. But in the area around the mountains and in their vicinity, all the people below tier four died without exception. Whether they were soldiers or something else.

Even some puppet machines had been wrecked. For those mechanical creations with recording functions, these parts would self-destruct completely. Inside the warships and Mechas, all the pilots died instantly.

Unless for those who were occupied with other tasks and didn’t see it, the rest all perished.

These mecha pilots had the right rank, but their own strength was inadequate. Their spirits simply couldn’t withstand such an impact. The more powerful individuals were, the more resistant they became.

Even someone with Du You’s strength took a full minute to recover. The sisters, being weaker, took about three minutes before they finally got better, and they dared not take another glance into the sky. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥

Meanwhile, those tier-seven elites also noticed the changes in the sky, their expressions turning extraordinarily grim.

"Damn it, how dare he do such a thing. Summoning the world consciousness of other powerful worlds and even manifesting it, what is he trying to do? Doesn’t he know this area is occupied by Earth?"

"Stop talking, we can’t let this consciousness descend; otherwise, being sealed in this world, we’ll become wanderers as the world is destroyed. If the world ends this time, the losses for us Earth Professionals will be massive. There are many good prospects here, so now it’s time for us to act."

These tier-seven elites dared to gaze directly at that indescribable entity, but they only looked, not daring to probe or delve deeper. They knew that if they looked too clearly, it would be easy to draw attention from it.

This was an existence on par with Earth’s will; taking down someone like a tier-seven Professional would be all too easy for it.

Fortunately, that massive image lasted only for a while and then disappeared. A few glanced at each other, and without a word of nonsense, they rushed at full speed towards the Blood Lotus Plateau.

The situation had escalated to a point beyond petty quarreling. If they couldn’t resolve this matter, they would be the sinners, and they themselves would be in grave danger. If the entity casually brought upon them that misery, the trouble would be immense.

But everyone was looking down, and nobody noticed that several tier-seven elites had already arrived above the plateau.

Looking at the plateau below steeped in a bloody haze, their brows furrowed. "Had we known it would come to this, we should have come here earlier," said someone who was previously against a direct assault.

"What’s the point of talking now? Let’s think about how to solve this. Fortunately, due to the Earth’s blockade of this world, their power shouldn’t be too strong. We just need to force their power to leak, and Earth’s will itself will drive them away," a few discussed plans in the air.

Inside an underground hall of the Blood Lotus God Sect, the ground was covered with corpses, only one person was still standing, and that was the Blood Lotus Sect Master. Looking at the clothes on those bodies, they were all members of the Blood Lotus God Sect, and moreover, they were all from the upper class.
