Chaos, madness.
In this bizarre, overgrown district where countless rules intertwine, everyone treads on thin ice, struggling fearfully for survival.
The grand merging of worlds, the uncanny reality becoming manifest, led to danger increasing rapidly. Even Xia Shengxuan, who witnessed the fall of the Thirteenth District, found this moment utterly overwhelming.
As of now.
A significant number of Apostle-level Transcendents in the city have petitioned to retreat.
This group, who had previously made tremendous contributions resisting the beast tide, was now overwhelmed, illustrating the severity of the situation.
Indeed.
With the protection of the Disaster Level beast corpse and the few remaining Apostles, it is possible to evacuate all the Transcendents from the city safely.
However, this would mean the millions of vibrant lives in the Fourteenth District will be ultimately buried here.
"Everyone, please hold on a little longer. Even though we've done our utmost for the Fourteenth, we could just leave it behind—but what about the others? Everyone in despair hopes for someone to lend a hand; we are no exception. If we abandon them now, how can we expect others to help when we are in danger?"
"Perhaps you don't know yet, but do you know who's rushing to support us?"
"I can tell you, it's Pei Jing. After ascending to Destruction Level, he heard the news and came here."
Desperate, Xia Shengxuan mentioned Brother Pei's name.
Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good; when others heard Pei Jing was coming to support, hope rekindled in their eyes.
"Master Pei Jing, coming personally to help us resist the disaster?"
"Ah, why didn't you say earlier..."
"Is he really promoted to Destruction Level?"
"Truly, heaven has eyes. I said it before: fate wouldn't be so cruel; there must be a glimmer of hope in despair!"
For a moment, the crowd went wild.
Even if not in the same district, no one is unaware of Pei Jing's name.
Back in that place of utter despair, he courageously stood out, turned the tide, and saved the Ninth District, which was in shambles, from that terrifying beast tide!
Undoubtedly, such a figure is absolutely worthy of trust.
This news Xia Shengxuan learned not long ago; previously, he was rushing to the fiercest battlefronts in various parts of the city, and alongside the effort to maintain inter-city communication among Transcendents, significant time had passed since the message was sent until it was received.
Barring any accidents, he believes that Brother Pei will soon arrive.
Furthermore, there was another person he hadn't mentioned: Su Qi, who accompanied Brother Pei. This lad, within less than a year of awakening, ascended to Destruction Level.
Such talent and brilliance are simply astonishing!
The reason he didn't mention Su Qi was to protect him from excessive malicious scrutiny, keeping Su Qi's reputation unknown to outsiders.
But things are different now.
Su Qi's promotion to Destruction Level, such strength and talent will make it impossible for anyone to ignore his brilliance!
Soon.
The news of Pei Jing's ascension to Destruction Level, and his journey to support, invigorated the entire city, with excitement flaring uncontrollably, even surpassing fear, as people spread the word rapidly.
Hope.
Seemingly grew rapidly in those unseen, bizarre places.
But just then, people noticed that with the Fourteenth District's systems mostly paralyzed, some bodies, not yet processed after dying in bizarre circumstances, underwent terrifying mutations—some sprouted multiple arms, others grew bone spurs, some had chaotic faces—all exuded a cold, foul aura, swarming the streets densely.
They began to attack humans crazily.
Fortunately, these bizarre creatures were not high-level, and Transcendents were able to handle them, though their sheer number was overwhelming, leaving the already stretched Transcendents exhausted.
On the other hand.
Su Qi and Pei Jing finally stepped into the boundaries of the Fourteenth District.
For a moment, vast, terrifying shadows flashed before their eyes, shadowing everything. They lost all senses as their spiritual power fell into chaos, taking a moment to adapt.
It seemed their overly strong spiritual power led them to see scenes they shouldn't have.
Pei Jing's expression was grave: "Try to narrow the spiritual power. The activity is bizarre here, and we don't know what terrifying entities are lurking."
Hearing this, Su Qi nodded, immediately narrowing his spiritual power to a radius of one kilometer, maintaining awareness of the surroundings to prevent a sudden bizarre attack.
Along the way.
The two discussed the Fourteenth District's situation, which essentially boiled down to two scenarios.
If, with their current power, they could easily crush the bizarre occurrences in this disaster, they would use force to defeat the enemy, rescue all city inhabitants while gathering more useful information.
The other scenario involved bizarre entities in the Fourteenth District, so powerful they couldn't counter. They would use a plan to divert disaster eastward, leading the bizarre beings into the Wilderness depths!
Indeed.
Based on what they discovered in the Thirteenth District, the spread of catastrophe is related to the Mysterious Tomb, which seems to be forcefully seizing life from fierce beasts and Transcendents.
This indicates that, for these bizarre occurrences, powerful life forms may be their nourishment!
Also, the Fourteenth District's disaster suddenly intensified, likely pulled by the beast tide, as the life force of fierce beasts far exceeds that of ordinary people.
If they could create a beast tide in the Wilderness, perhaps they could change the direction of the bizarre invasion.
Of course.
These are merely their guesses.
To confirm them requires confronting the bizarre directly.
After all, in terms of sheer life force, no fierce beasts or Transcendents in the Fourteenth District have as intense life force as the two of them!
The dim world, chaotic sights.
And the bizarre aura mingled in the air.
Made Su Qi seem to hear the mourning of all beings. In a mysterious way, he felt an extremely twisted spiritual power rising to the sky, joining that vast Spiritual Great World.
"If the Spiritual Great World is the conglomerate of all beings' will, then as these tortured spiritual powers merge in, what change will it induce in the Spiritual Great World?"
At this moment.
Vaguely, he seemed to perceive some link in a series of interconnected events.
But soon.
He discarded everything that seemed unfathomable in his mind.
The inability to see clearly was because he didn't stand high enough.
The inability to transcend was because his power wasn't strong enough.
Since so, why be mired in confusion and uncertainty? Better to grasp what can be controlled now, forging ahead steadily.
No need to dwell on what ghosts might appear ahead; if one's power is sufficient, everything can be smashed with a single punch!
