Chapter 724
724 Chapter 724 — the arrival of the automaton race!
When a large number of cultivators were attracted by the mysterious power and jumped into the ‘starry sky’, the color of the green ball hovering above the talisman master’s head began to change. First, it turned dark green, then, it turned black.
The green ball was originally filled with life force, but after it turned black, an aura of death spread out from it.
A faint smile appeared on the lips of the Talisman Master who had his eyes closed.
“What is this place? !”
A cultivator who had entered the starry sky first quickly woke up after a short period of infatuation and let out a scream.
His surroundings were filled with sparse dots that were emitting faint red light. They looked like countless dust particles.
If one used a magnifying glass to look, they would discover that these small red particles were actually red balls with countless red patterns on them.
The person’s scream caused the small red particles around him to tremble.
The small red particles suddenly changed when they were stimulated by the sound wave. Dense threads that were difficult to see with the naked eye extended out from them. At the same time, the red light emitted by the small red particles suddenly increased by many times.
Just as the cultivator was about to move, his entire body suddenly felt numb and he couldn’t move even if he wanted to.
It turned out that the threads that extended out from the small red particles had already entered his body.
This kind of red threads were extremely strange. Not only did they absorb the energy in his body, they even invaded his energy world. After the small red particles began to absorb the energy through the red filaments, they began to slowly grow bigger and brighter.
This person could not even blink his eyes. His face was still filled with shock.
The filaments had to absorb all kinds of energy. After the energy cultivated by this person was sucked dry and the energy world in his body was destroyed, his body was next. His body quickly dried up and turned into a dried corpse.
At this moment, the hundreds of red spheres surrounding the dried corpse had turned into the size of a fist. They didn’t even spare the dried corpse. After taking back the thin threads, they quickly touched the dried corpse..
In less than ten minutes, a cultivator in the illusory realm was reduced to nothing.
Such a situation wasn’t just the case for this cultivator. Other cultivators had encountered the same situation as well. It was just that cultivators with higher realms were able to persist for a longer period of time.
Of course, there were also some cultivators who were more cautious. They didn’t act rashly when they woke up and temporarily didn’t ‘activate’the small red particles. There were also some who reacted faster and immediately activated the energy within their bodies, they blocked the fine threads that extended out of the small red particles.
As long as these fine red threads did not enter the cultivator’s body, the speed at which they absorbed the energy would be relatively slow.
The cultivators standing at the edge of the crack could see the starry sky below suddenly brighten by many times. The ‘vein map’that was projected in the sky became even clearer.
This kind of map was obviously fake in order to attract more cultivators over.
The strange scene in the sky could be clearly seen even from tens of thousands of kilometers away. More cultivators were rushing over. Not only that, many strange beasts were rushing over in groups, causing the ground to tremble as they stomped on it. The sound was even louder than the galloping of tens of thousands of horses.
The ‘Earth vein map’in the sky was actually able to attract the strange beasts over!
When Black Talisman came out, he immediately used a long-distance teleportation formation to teleport the situation to XI Chenyou. Black Talisman, who had almost jumped down, felt a lingering fear. Taking advantage of the fact that the people of the three divine halls weren’t paying attention, he activated the treasure talisman in his hand and once again transmitted the situation to XI Chenyou.
At this moment, Xi Chenyou and the others were already halfway there.
..
“Rumble…”
The ground shook. The herd of beasts had finally arrived.
The leading exotic beast stopped at the edge of the crack, but the exotic beasts behind them arrived one after another. Even if the exotic beasts in front weren’t bewitched by the starry sky below, they were still pushed down by the exotic beasts behind them and plunged into the starry sky.
Besides the exotic beasts on the ground, there were also swarms of exotic beasts flying over from the sky. They were so dense that they covered the entire sky.
These flying exotic beasts circled above the crack a few times before falling down..
Around the crack, the human cultivators who weren’t bewitched by the starry sky flew into the sky before the swarm of exotic beasts arrived. They stayed away from the crack and hovered in the air not far away.
Such a scene was too shocking.
“We have to stop it. Otherwise, we will lose our balance, and it will be disadvantageous to our Divine Hall.”
In the Sky 100 meters away, an old man frowned when he saw countless mutated beasts ‘surging’into the crack like a tide.
Ku man nodded and said with a solemn face, “If we let it develop, the number of mutated beasts will be greatly reduced. It will be difficult to obtain life crystals in the future.”
The cultivators’hearts were bleeding when they saw strange beasts at the Fate Enlightenment realm or even higher charging into the crack and disappearing into the starry sky. To them, those strange beasts were pieces of high-grade life crystals! They were gone just like that.
They said that they wanted to stop it, but for a moment, there was nothing they could do. They could only watch.
At this moment, a white-robed steward of the Divine Hall of the Heaven Region flew to the edge of the crack and punched at the starry sky below.
The powerful punch tore through the air and produced an ear-piercing screech as it rushed toward the starry sky.
However, after the punch hit the starry sky, the starry sky that came into contact with the punch suddenly flashed and returned to its calm state.
Such a simple attack was obviously useless. A blue-robed steward of the starry sky took out a hexagonal talisman artifact and tapped it a few times. Five different-colored talisman energies rushed out of the talisman artifact, they condensed into a five-colored ball of light in the sky.
The ball of light suddenly exploded, and countless sharp rays of light fell like raindrops.
Each of these scattered rays of light was stronger than the punch thrown by the steward of the Heavenly Domain Shrine. However, when they landed in the starry sky, there was no reaction at all.
It seemed that destroying this starry sky was not a simple matter.
Just as the cultivators were frowning, a humming sound suddenly rang out in the distance. Soon after, the flying-type exotic beasts that were hovering in the sky spread out in all directions.
The ones that made the sound were a large number of huge spaceships.
It turned out that the automaton race had rushed over.
After these spaceships dispersed the Beast Horde in the sky, they stopped in the sky around the crack. Silver-white metal pillars with a diameter of one meter fell from above.
The densely packed metal pillars landed in the middle of the herd of beasts. It was like throwing sandbags into a flood, drowning them one by one.
At first glance, these metal pillars did not seem to have any effect on the stampeding herd of beasts. However, if one observed carefully, one would notice that the speed of the herd of beasts rushing towards the crack was slowly decreasing.
