Chapter 421: Chapter 390: Space Black Hole
Outside Mo Yuan City, four Emperor Level Undead Pet Beasts were racing madly, charging straight for the city.
Although Pet Beasts of the same Level were pursuing them from behind, they could only slightly hinder their speed and were unable to kill them outright.
"This is..." Wen Saint Wen Zebin was still standing on the city walls. He stared at the scene, a faint sense of unease creeping into his heart.
Then, amidst this growing unease, the four Emperor Level Undead Pet Beasts finally charged to a point only about five kilometers from the city walls.
If they got any closer, the various technological weapons on the city walls could inflict considerable damage on them.
Although these technological weapons were rather cumbersome and difficult to move, their effectiveness in a static defensive battle like this was very clear.
However, at this awkward distance, the four Emperor Level Undead Pet Beasts all halted their advance and moved no further.
Clearly, the hidden Cult Organization was also very well-informed about Mo Yuan City’s defenses and intelligence.
’But what’s the point of this? Going through all this trouble, not even hesitating to sacrifice four Emperor Level Undead Pet Beasts, just to rush over here?’
’They couldn’t have done all this just to get a look at Mo Yuan City!’ Wen Zebin frowned in thought, a nagging feeling telling him there was a conspiracy at play.
Four Emperor Level Undead Pet Beasts were an immense force for the Cult Organization.
They would never allow such a force to be sacrificed for nothing. As he thought this, Wen Zebin’s brow furrowed even more deeply.
This feeling of powerlessness from not being able to figure out the enemy’s intentions made him feel terrible, helpless, and anxious.
He stared at one of the Celestial Corpse Monarchs and, before it could come to a complete stop, gave a sharp wave of his hand.
At his signal, the Giant Forest Monarch, also positioned on the walls, attacked. His Pet Beast, the Celestial Locust Beast, sent out countless wooden vines.
Each vine was like a steel whip, glinting with a cold light. Their power looked extraordinary.
But just then, a dense, blood-red glow suddenly erupted from the Celestial Corpse Monarch’s body.
One could clearly see its entire body was covered in dense, blood-red Runes, looking both strange and ominous.
The blood-red glow grew more and more distinct, finally forming a pillar of light that shot a hundred meters into the sky.
At almost the exact same moment, in the other three directions, the Skeleton Monarch, the Yanming Bie, and the Nether Spring Dragon all made the same move.
Four pillars of blood-red light surrounded Mo Yuan City, soaring into the air. It looked incredibly strange, as if some sort of ritual was underway.
"Oh no, it’s a sacrificial ritual!" Seeing this, Wen Zebin finally understood. With a sudden realization, he shouted a warning, "Stop them! Quickly!"
The Giant Forest Monarch was startled by his words. He didn’t know why these four Pet Beasts had charged here to perform a sacrifice.
But seeing the Wen Saint’s panicked expression, he knew this was no simple matter—it could very well lead to a monumental disaster.
So, he didn’t dare hold back and immediately attacked with his full strength. But then, something strange happened.
The dense volley of vine whips unleashed by his Celestial Locust Beast had little effect on the Celestial Corpse Monarch within the pillar of blood-red light.
The moment the vines entered the range of the blood-red pillar, they would snap inch by inch, finally disintegrating completely into dust and debris.
With so many of its vines corroded and disintegrated into powder by the blood-red pillar, even the Emperor Level Celestial Locust Beast couldn’t take it and let out a cry of pain.
From behind, the pursuing Black Rock Monarch also ordered his Pet Beast to launch a Powerful attack. Shattered Rock Missiles shot forward at extreme speed.
But no matter how massive the offensive, no matter how fierce the attack, as soon as it entered the range of the blood-red pillar, it was like a clay ox sinking into the sea—vanishing without a trace.
Wen Zebin’s eyes filled with horror. In that instant, his heart flooded with regret. He now understood everything—he knew the Cult Organization’s true objective.
They had come with the sole purpose of destroying Mo Yuan City.
Sweat beaded on his forehead, his heart heavy with self-reproach. Teacher Lu had warned him before leaving, yet he had somehow failed to be on alert beforehand.
At this moment, beyond self-reproach, there was hatred: hatred for his own incompetence, and hatred for the despicable shamelessness of the Cult Organization behind it all.
Fueled by this hatred, he issued a direct command, and his ace Pet Beast, the Cangtian White Crane, soared into the sky.
"Xun Wind Roar!"
The enormous white crane, its body pure white and its bearing noble and elegant, beat its wings fiercely. It unleashed countless gales of astral wind, which formed a pair of wings that seemed to hang down from the heavens before plunging downward.
WHOOSH...
The terrifying astral wind scoured the Celestial Corpse Monarch’s position as if plowing the earth, yet the pillar of blood-red light, even in the face of such a fearsome gale, still stood unshaken.
When Wen Zebin saw this, his heart sank.
Just as he was about to order the Cangtian White Crane to attack again, the four blood-red pillars around Mo Yuan City suddenly shot higher, then converged in midair.
The four pillars merged and, in the blink of an eye, poured back down, shining directly into the city—or more precisely, onto Mo Yuan City’s central Teleportation Plaza.
There, a figure shrouded head to toe in a black robe stood silently, having appeared at some unknown time.
With the black-robed figure at its center, a blood-red circular pattern had been drawn on the ground in a three-meter radius, also appearing at some unknown time.
The pillar of blood-red light descended from the sky and, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, poured entirely into the circular pattern.
On the Teleportation Plaza, many Beast Masters witnessed this scene. Just as they were feeling confused, baffled, and astonished, the circular pattern lit up, emitting an eerie, blood-red glow.
The entire Teleportation Plaza instantly erupted into chaos. Some were curious, others fled, and then, a streak of white light descended from the sky.
"You dare play tricks right under my nose? Die!" Wen Zebin descended from the sky, and immediately, pitch-black cracks spread out like a shattering mirror.
"Dimensional Devouring!"
Wen Zebin roared, and space instantly shattered. The black-robed figure and the blood-red circular pattern around it were swallowed directly by a spatial black hole.
Wen Zebin stared at the spatial black hole, not daring to relax his focus for even a second. Soon, he realized something was wrong.
Logically, given the spatial stability near Mo Yuan City, even after he ordered the Cangtian White Crane to use "Dimensional Devouring," the space should have naturally repaired itself in a few seconds at most.
But now, more than ten seconds had passed, and the spatial black hole still existed, showing no sign of closing.
On top of that, what made Wen Zebin’s heart tremble was that from within the ink-black spatial hole, terrifying auras that could shatter one’s soul began to seep out...
