Chapter 1037: Chapter 1037 - 454: New World_4

Through her efforts, she was already faintly among the top few in the group.

But it’s not enough, it’s not enough!

Because she hasn’t even reached the city gate yet.

But it’s closer, closer!!

"I want... to survive!!!"

With a leap, Qian Guxing jumped high, as if to cross the distance of Osaka and leap over the city wall.

But just as she jumped, Qian Guxing suddenly jerked with a start!

Because a terrifying force of pull, like an invisible giant hand, suddenly yanked her back.

Bang!!

Qian Guxing fell straight down, heavily hitting the ground, desperately looking up at the group at the gate without pausing even for half a second...

"Ahhhhh!!!"

She was pulled back furiously along with the force, along with the other people in the escaping group, flying into the sky, scattered, swaying toward the beam of light that pierced the heavens and earth!

Thunder roared, and the violent storm seemed to become her final funeral.

"No... no... no!!!"

Qian Guxing cried out hoarsely, but it was to no avail, until...

Bang!!

That pulling force suddenly disappeared.

She was thrown down heavily, landing on those who had already fallen.

Though dizzy, Qian Guxing still immediately crawled up with her hands and feet, continuing to run desperately towards the city gate she headed for!

They belong to the Foolish Underworld too, maybe that group can take her along and run.

She took a moment to look back, fortunately, she fell halfway, and those who were closer to the light beam had already been swallowed by it, probably without even bones remaining.

Run, run, run!

I must escape! Survive! Then find Diao Deyi, survive together, survive together...

...

Thunder roared!

The pulling force of the light beam also stopped.

Because the blood and flesh, were already sufficient.

"Truly... perfect."

Lord Lan looked at the blood and flesh body before him, similar in appearance to himself, as if admiring a work of art, unable to stop himself from sighing.

"Lord Lan."

"Lord Lan."

From behind came the voices of the Shu Bird Demon and Green Demon, which only made Lord Lan glance back slightly.

"You’re back."

Lord Lan said calmly, his back towards all demons.

"Today is your time to harvest."

"This ship of mine will not disappoint you."

"A brand-new era will unfold at this moment!"

"Submit to me, and join me on this journey."

"Refuse, and become nourishment of blood and flesh."

"Gentlemen, are you prepared to share this wonderful moment with me?"

The Shu Bird Demon kneels halfway.

The Green Demon does the same.

The other still-living demon leaders have long since taken a kneeling posture.

Lord Lan’s mouth curled into a smile, his gaze fixed on the perfect body ahead.

"Open your eyes."

Having absorbed such a vast amount of blood and flesh from Tianyuan Town, the conglomerate body, amassing such immense power, now slowly opens its eyes.

"Fa...ther..."

It spoke with difficulty, like a child learning to speak.

But Lord Lan wasn’t bothered.

Instead, he raised his hand, pointing straight to the sky with his fingers.

"Go."

"Tear apart the [heavens]."

The body nodded.

"Yes!"

By the second sentence, the body could already speak fluently.

The beam of light that pierced the heavens now slowly receded, gathering inward into this body.

He stood in the high sky, looking up at the dense clouds, the continuous thunderstorm, and the dark sky that writhed like a Hei Long, then slowly extended a finger.

He pointed to the sky.

Using the finger as a sword.

He began, slowly, to move his finger.

Buzz!!!!

In that moment, three incomparably enormous forces, three forces that should not have been contained together, erupted from the fingertips of this body, merging into one, transforming into a new, never-before-seen, terrifying power containing boundless strength!

And now, this power is about to tear through heaven and earth! Tear through space! Tear apart the land that harbors three races!

Rumble!!!

Crack, crack, crack!!

A dazzling tri-colored energy transformed into a tangible form, like solid filaments; tri-colored stripes erupted at the fingertips, crackling as if an old saw was being used to tear through incredibly tenacious steel, causing the fingers to tremble violently, almost unable to continue tearing.

But the body is still striving! Still persisting!

Rumble! Rumble!!!

In the dark clouds, thunder rumbled.

The previously dense dark clouds, accompanied by a slight, slight movement of the body’s fingers, were gradually parting, a hole slowly forming in the sky!

"It’s done... it’s done! Hahaha!! It’s done!!!!"

Lord Lan looked at the black hole in the sky, laughing hysterically.

But when he took a closer look, his expression froze and his laughter paused.

Within the pitch-black hole, the wind howled, seemingly void and invisible.

"The boundary wall... can’t break the boundary wall? How can it be so thick!"

"No, no, no, no, no!!!"

"Power! Use all your power!! At this rate, don’t even think about tearing [the sky], you can’t even poke a hole through!!"

Lord Lan shouted in a rage, losing his composure.

All his efforts, his life’s planning, everything was gambled on this moment!

He would not allow failure, absolutely not allow failure!

The body, upon hearing Lord Lan’s command, let out a roar and struck with all its strength.

Crackle, crackle, crackle!!!

The sky, like a mirror, shook violently, the area above them crackling, spreading fissures.

"Ahhhh... ahhhhh!!!"

Amidst the body’s frantic roar.

A light.

A faint light, but the rainbow-colored light pierced through the void, connecting two realms, shining here.

Lord Lan’s eyes widened instantly.

His entire breath seemed to halt at that moment.

It’s connected...

The sky has been pierced!

Though it’s only a tiny hole the size of a pinky finger, the sky was pierced!

"Did you see it... hey! Did you see it!!!"

"I succeeded!"

"I said I would succeed!!"

"My plans, my ideas, my guesses, all my theories, none were wrong! None were wrong!!"

"You’re the wrong one! It’s you!!!"

Lord Lan shouted to the sky with an unhinged roar, but suddenly heard a thud.

Turning around in shock, he saw that the body he had put so much effort and cost into creating had already knelt to the ground, unable to maintain the force.

The once young body aged rapidly, skin wrinkled, black hair turned white, like old age.

As their gazes crossed for a moment, the elderly body lay completely on the ground, eyes closing.

The dazzling rainbow light that penetrated the sky also disappeared, the black hole closed, and dark clouds gathered above once again.

Everything seemed as if nothing had ever happened.

Everything seemed to vanish.

How... could it be?

Lord Lan murmured to himself.

"Lord Lan?"

The Shu Bird Demon asked softly.

"Waste... then I will do it myself! From the start, I had planned this way!"

With a skeletal right hand, Lord Lan reached for the aged body.

The body immediately adhered to Lord Lan as if it were a sponge losing its moisture.

"Ahhhh!! Ahhhhh!!!"

At the moment of contact, Lord Lan realized the state of this body was dire; the energy expended earlier was enormous just to reach that point.

But... it’s okay!

With me controlling this body, in just a few months of recuperation, I can personally wield this power to achieve what I intend to do!

"This is... my gift to you!"

After merging with the body, Lord Lan sliced off a part of the flesh and tossed it to the Green Demon and Demon Leader, speaking indifferently.

"The plan has succeeded."

"Follow me, and venture into the new world together."

All demons bowed their heads together.

"Yes!"
