Chapter 438: Disaster

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

Bei Feng and the rest were cursing vehemently, but each one was running faster than the other.

"Kaboom!"

Violent explosions resounded behind them, and a decimating shock wave chased after the group. The group was already running extremely quickly, but it was of no use. There was no outrunning the shock wave. At this point, they could only face it head on!

Gathering all his blood and Qi, Bei Feng conjured a strong barrier and pulled Mystic One and the Cerberus into it.

Beside him, the old woman who only had the strength of a Xiantian Lord relied on her Controlled Dan level eight-winged golden cicada, instantly creating countless strands of golden silk which wrapped her up within.

"Bang!"

"Pu!"

The powerful shock wave slammed into the group, and everyone was instantly sent them flying far away like small fishing boats in a raging storm.

Several Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts with weaker strength had their zhenqi stirred into a mess, causing them to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Ka-cha!"

The entire underground area was shaking violently, and large rocks cascaded down the sides. From the looks of things, the place was not going to hold for much longer.

Without allowing the group to catch a breath, another shock wave slammed over, blasting everyone away yet again.

Even though their zhenqi defenses had nullified out most of the force, it was impossible to stop the residual force from invading the bodies of the experts.

When he looked over, Bei Feng saw Qin Wufa hanging on in a weary manner, expending a lot of energy to barely defend against the shock waves. Sighing, Bei Feng increased the size of his barrier and pulled Qin Wufa inside.

Qin Wufa eyes widened slightly, and he opened his mouth and closed it again. But in the end, he did not say anything.

Bei Feng's blood and Qi was being expended very quickly at this time. If he only had to care about his own safety, it would not be a problem for him at all. But the bigger the barrier he conjured, the more space it would cover. At the same time, the barrier would also receive more damage from the shock waves. Fortunately, Bei Feng's blood and Qi energy was far greater than the others'.

Two three minutes went by, and the area behind them finally grew quieter. It was as if everything had resumed its calm.

However, not only was the group not glad to see this, their faces turned even grimmer. A huge amount of pressure rose inside the passageway, as if the group was bracing themselves for the arrival of a violent storm!

Right in front of them was the Locking Dragon Well's exit. A trace of hope flashed across everyone's faces. In that moment, everyone went all out, forcing every ounce of zhenqi and blood and Qi energy out and congealing it onto the passageway behind them.

After that, everyone shot into the sky, flying upwards with all their might.

There were no explosions, nor any sounds of the passageway crumbling. Without any sight nor sound, a terrifying energy shock wave suddenly swept over, carrying a terrifying heat!

The entire passageway directly collapsed, and most of the rocks were vaporized before they hit the ground!

Such a terrifying power... even a Transcendent realm expert would find it extremely troublesome to defend against it. If they were caught in the heart of the explosion, even a Transcendent realm expert would have to accept death!

The group were less than 200 meters away from exiting the Locking Dragon Well when the shock wave arrived. The powerful blast instantly shattered the defensive barrier that the entire group had laid out together.

Then, it slammed heavily into the stone walls under the well. Following that, a tunnel of unfathomable depths was dug into the incomparably solid wall. The melted rocks looked extremely conspicuous.

The other portion of the shock wave slammed into the air-filled walls and was redirected upwards. Its speed was incredibly quick, instantly catching up to Bei Feng and the rest!

This burst of energy was already much weakened, and did not have the terrifying strength from earlier. However, Bei Feng and the rest did not dare to underestimate it.

Everyone blasted out, instantly creating numerous layers of defenses. Following that, with a violent boom, the entire well exploded!

The Xiantian Lords who were keeping guard outside all jumped in fright. Many of them rubbed their eyes with disbelief, wondering if they had seen wrongly.

The legendary characters of the martial world, and the old ancestors of the various clans, were suddenly popping out of the well like popcorn, blasting high into the sky with their hair and beards flying wildly! But before they could react, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble intensely as if it was water! Most of the people failed to react, and directly fell into the giant fissures that'd opened on the ground.

As for the rest of the people, everyone began running madly without second thought!

Huge fissures appeared all over in a 20 li area. Following that, the land directly collapsed.

Bei Feng and the rest stabilized their bodies and looked down at the disaster they'd caused with some regret. But in the end, they still turned around and left.

The entire underground space was devoured by terrifying explosions. Even the only building above it was devoured by the gaping earth.

Not long later, the 20 li area had transformed into a boiling lava lake. The intense heat in the area caused the air in the entire district to twist in an illusory manner.

At the outskirts of the city, beside a huge man-made reservoir, in an antique house surrounded by mountains and waters beside a large willow tree gently swaying in the breeze.

Inside the spacious hall, the group of Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts were once again gathered together after taking care of their injuries.

Right now, everyone was wearing extremely grim faces. They felt extremely fortunate to have escaped. The underground space was incomparably vast, and fortunately, only a 20 li area had collapsed on the surface. If the entire landmass above the huge underground space collapsed as well, they didn't dare to imagine the consequences of such a disaster.

At that time, the country would probably take out all their nuclear weapons and chase the few of them ceaselessly until either side was dead!

After a period of silence, Ling Xu stood up and said, "Let's prepare to pay heavily."

The Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts below him nodded their heads soundlessly as well. Nobody raised any objections, although from the ways their brows were furrowed, it was obvious that everyone felt some heartache.

But who knew that the person who laid out the formation was actually such a lunatic? If the formation had not fallen into disrepair long ago and had a fault in it, none of them would have escaped, and the amount of land that'd collapse would not only be 20 li.

Obviously, the person who laid the formation never had any intentions of letting anyone walk out alive!

"Everything happened because of the Dragon Imprisoning Chains. The moment I picked it up, it started a chain reaction. Based on what I saw, this chain was the centerpiece of the formation."

Bei Feng stepped forward and pulled out the Dragon Imprisoning Chains, flinging it at the 12 Kunlun Devils.

It wasn't clear how much the 12 Kunlun Devils knew. Yan Luo easily grabbed the Dragon Imprisoning Chains. It seemed like they already knew that they needed to wrap their hands with mental power to touch the chains.

"In this period of time, it's best that we maintain a lower profile. Our plan inside the country is almost complete, let's wait a while for the news from outside."

Ling Xu seemed to be talking to the crowd and to himself at the same time.

Everyone nodded and went on their separate ways. The situation was really too tense for the time being. If they still didn't run, a one-ton nuclear bomb might really come dropping onto their heads!

With over 20 miles of land in the city sinking into the ground, it wasn't clear how many casualties had resulted from their actions. Fortunately, this area was not in the central business district. But even so, it was hard to estimate the number of people that'd died or were injured by this disaster!

But despite causing so many casualties, the group of experts only felt slightly guilty. They would not offer any compensation, and if asked to pay with their lives, that would be completely impossible.

This group of people were all insane in the head. They had lived for centuries and decades, knowing that there was a higher realm and a longer life. Yet, they couldn't reach it no matter what. Right now, the reason they were willing to risk everything regardless of the price, just for the sake of obtaining the Dragon Imprisoning Chains, was it not all for the sake of reaching that realm and obtaining a lengthier lifespan?
