Chapter 1410 - 237: Sudden Change Between Life and Death
Chapter 1410: Chapter 237: Sudden Change Between Life and Death
As Yun Sheng’s voice fell, the High Priest looked up at the sky again, and an anomaly suddenly appeared.
The Blood Spear, which had dominated the battlefield, suddenly shattered at one section, breaking into two pieces.
The priest holding the Dark Destiny Mirror at the Beast God Altar suddenly felt a surge of blood and energy within, beyond control, and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, causing the array to fall into chaos.
With the sound of cracking, the Dark Destiny Mirror exploded.
The Dark Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts were missing one, greatly reducing their power.
As the Blood Spear broke, its offensive dropped significantly.
In contrast, the collective morale of the Wuji Continent soared upon seeing the opposing forces fall into disarray.
The power of the Sky-covering Shield suddenly expanded severalfold.
"Yun Sheng, it’s your doing." In the sky, two blood-red eyes appeared, belonging to Dugu Xiu.
"Dugu Xiu, tell the High Priest, a counterfeit will always be a counterfeit, the Dark Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts can never compare to the authentic Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts." After Yun Sheng spoke, she raised her hand, and the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts burst with divine might, eight beams of light shooting up into the sky.
"Do you think you’ve won this way? Haha, let me tell you, this is just the beginning. Those blood stars contain the Kirin’s fierce blood of our Clan Leader. Once this fierce blood turns into mist, ordinary humans and demon beasts who come into contact will transform. Without any troop expenditure, I’ll turn the entire Wuji Continent into a living purgatory." Dugu Xiu finished speaking, and there was a rumbling explosion in the sky.
The seven blood stars hanging in the sky exploded with a bang.
As the blood stars burst, they transformed into a mist and dispersed quickly upon the wind’s blow.
"Not good, there’s something strange about that blood mist." The sudden change caught Yun Sheng and the others off guard, and by the time they reacted, the blood mist had already spread across the continent.
Having fused Ye Xiu’s relic and heart, Dugu Xiu was filled with hatred towards the Wuji Continent, his flesh brimming with his violence and rage.
The Dutian Blood Realm was held, but the transformation of blood stars into blood mist was unforeseen by everyone.
The blood mist, expanding upon wind contact, spread so rapidly that even the Divine Realm Treasure Ship couldn’t match its speed.
In just one day, seven clouds of blood mist began to expand wildly over every corner of the continent like a dreadful plague, causing drastic changes overnight to countless forests and cities.
When the blood mist touched trees, they transformed, their roots and branches metamorphosing into limbs, spewing out toxic sap as they crawled out of the soil.
The blood mist touched demon beasts, and they became excessively violent, attacking anyone they saw.
As the blood mist entered cities, humans turned against their kin, killing spouses and children.
In countless cities, rivers of blood flowed as Yun Sheng and others witnessed this tragic scenario, realizing the Beast Clan’s hatred towards the Human Clan had reached such an extent.
"No way. This blood mist is even more uncontrollable than the Dutian Blood Cloud of the past; even using the armies of various nations, it’s hard to contain." Chang Siming, receiving messages daily from various Magic Temples, reported the numbers of those contaminated by the blood mist and the cities fallen.
The transformative blood mist is more terrifying than war and disease.
"Before finding a way to control the blood mist, we must find ways to protect the people of various countries as much as possible. I think, this time, we’ll have to ask Mingri for help." Yun Sheng made a decisive decision, sharing her plan with Bo Bo.
"Are you suggesting letting those not yet infected by the blood mist in several major countries temporarily avoid it in the Netherworld?" Bo Bo’s expression was unusually grave; she was an interim Realm God, responsible for the safety of the Human World.
She was already regretting kicking Dugu Xiu into the Magic Array earlier.
She truly should’ve killed that kid with a single slash, removing future troubles once and for all. Now, his power turned out to be even more dreadful than the Kirin.
Bo Bo sought out Mingri, who at first was unwilling to agree to Bo Bo’s request, as he had already helped her once before.
Arbitrarily transferring the still-living humans in large quantities to the Netherworld inherently violated the rules of the Netherworld.
"You have no choice but to help, or else, if these people all die, they’ll still end up in the Netherworld, and when the Netherworld becomes overcrowded, you’ll have a headache as the Netherworld God." Bo Bo spoke angrily.
Mingri, unable to resist Bo Bo’s pestering, finally agreed to use the Four-direction Netherworld Jiao to transport some humans to the Netherworld.
After receiving Mingri’s promise, several national leaders, including Donghuang Lingling, took action.
They informed citizens of major cities about the urgency of the current situation.
However, due to the limited number of Four-direction Netherworld Jiao, the human transfer was slow, and after weighing the options, each country decided to prioritize the transfer of weak elders, children, and women.
"Mother, I want to be with my mother." On the Four-direction Netherworld Jiao, a child cried ceaselessly, wanting to find her mother.
Due to personnel issues, the Four-direction Netherworld Jiao could only transport five hundred people at a time.
Watching families being separated and children crying incessantly, along with the reluctant farewells of family and friends, Yun Sheng stood silently on the side.
"Little Wildcat, don’t be sad. It’s not your fault; you’ve done your best." Ye Beiming, unnoticed by Yun Sheng, had come by her side.
He knew that Yun Sheng had been striving these days, uniting doctors and light mages across the continent to find a way to counter the blood mist.
Those warriors and mages possessing fighting spirit and magic power could barely hold on for a few days, but ordinary people could not.
She hadn’t rested for several days and nights, her eyes filled with bloodshot veins, which made Ye Beiming feel heartache.
"As a doctor, it’s my duty to save lives. Seeing so many innocent people fall one by one due to my mistake, while unable to find any treatment method, this is Yun Sheng’s first-ever feeling of powerlessness."
This blood mist should be a type of modern infectious disease.
Only those contaminated by the mist or polluted by it can be subject to secondary infection.
But despite trying hard, she couldn’t find the source of contamination or a treatment plan.
"You all will find it. Ji Ru Mo and the others are discussing it all night long. You are the most outstanding doctors and mages on the continent; just give yourselves some time, and you’ll find a way to control and treat the blood mist." Ye Beiming held Yun Sheng in his arms; he couldn’t give her any advice in medical skills, so he could only offer encouragement.
"Actually... Ye Huli, I have an idea, if successful, maybe there’s a chance to find a way to control the blood mist pollution." Yun Sheng hesitated, biting her lip, and shared a plan that had been hovering in her mind for several days.
"What? Are you saying you want to enter the heavily polluted area of the blood mist to seek a treatment method? That’s too dangerous." Ye Beiming, having heard Yun Sheng’s idea, frowned.
