Free Web NovelChapter 771: Chapter 265: Annihilation
Boom—
Rumble—
The sound of muffled thunder continued to emanate from the sky.
A doomsday-like apocalyptic aura emanated from the space-time rift, felt by everyone within the Demon God Barrier, filling them with an immense sense of oppression.
The gigantic Buddha hand was repeatedly shattered and reformed by the invisible energy, only to be shattered and reformed again.
Drip—
Drip—
The rain became heavier and heavier.
The terrifying impact generated by the collision and fusion of two worlds resulted in broken rules, condensing into a heavy energy cloud.
The energy cloud coalesced into drops, falling from the sky.
Each raindrop contained apocalyptic-level terrifying energy; the rule conflict energy produced by the collision of the two worlds’ rule Tao Rhyme brewed within.
"Stop!"
"Form the Array!"
Ji Ziyang promptly commanded.
The rain grew ever heavier, and the terrifying rule energy contained within it began to show signs of overwhelming even the protective magical artifacts prepared in advance.
As Ji Ziyang’s words fell, the others stopped immediately.
Though Lin Zheyu wasn’t sure why, he also stopped.
The energy contained in the rainwater grew more terrifying, imbued not only with demonic energy but also with the annihilating destructive aura born of the collision of two worlds.
If it were only demonic energy, Lin Zheyu could easily withstand it with his strong physique and the golden runes on his body.
"Tu Yuan, the defense array under the demonic earth is in your hands!"
"Zitong, Mulan, you two are responsible for setting up the Array."
"Bai Lin, Xiao Yu, Lei Yongtao, you are on watch!"
Ji Ziyang instructed.
As Ji Ziyang’s words fell, Tu Yuan’s body flickered, merging into the demonic earth.
Ji Zitong and Soi Mulan patted their storage bags, causing several streaks of eerie light to fly out from them.
Lin Zheyu’s body flickered as he vigilantly scanned his surroundings, frowning with a somewhat grave expression.
"This annihilating black rain came too suddenly."
"We can only wait for this wave of annihilating black rain to pass before continuing to our destination," Ji Ziyang said gravely.
He looked up towards the direction of the space-time node, where the terrifying aura caused his heart to palpitate.
"What a terrifying feeling!"
"Without that Buddha hand, it would probably be even scarier!"
Lin Zheyu thought to himself.
Because they had prepared in advance, the Array was quickly set up.
"Divine Power Crystals, two for each person!"
Ji Ziyang said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zheyu took out two Divine Power Crystals from his storage bag and embedded them into the nearest slot to him.
Instantly, an invisible energy shield coalesced, enveloping the seven people within.
The raindrops containing terrifying energy dripped onto the energy shield, sliding off its edge, as the energy from the Divine Power Crystals was rapidly consumed.
Sizzle—
Lin Zheyu extended his hand outside the Array, and the raindrop sizzled as it corroded the skin and flesh on his palm.
"The corrosiveness is growing increasingly astonishing. Without preparation, even if you survived, you’d shed a layer of skin."
Lin Zheyu thought with lingering fear.
It’s fortunate he acted together with Ji Zitong and the others, as he would have encountered quite some trouble acting alone and unprepared.
"Mr. Xiao, is this your first time witnessing the annihilating black rain?"
Tu Yuan asked with interest.
The others, upon hearing this, also looked over curiously.
"Yes, it’s my first time seeing it."
"The energy contained within this rain is terrifying; without the protection of this Array, it would have been troublesome." Lin Zheyu replied.
He did not hide the fact that he had no understanding of the process of space-time nodes fully merging with this world, nor had he experienced it before.
Upon hearing this, a thoughtful flicker passed through the eyes of the others, but they did not delve further.
"No wonder."
"This is the annihilating black rain, rainwater formed from the destructive aura emitted during the collision and fusion of two worlds."
"It is not something ordinary people can withstand."
"If a Golden Elixir Layer strong person is affected, the energy inside them would be stirred by this shred of destructive aura and would be affected."
"This is also why Golden Elixir Layer and above strong individuals do not participate in the scramble for rule fragment opportunities."
Bai Lin explained with a smile.
This hulking man gave Lin Zheyu a good impression, being quite enthusiastic.
"I see. Thank you, Mr. Bai, for the clarification."
Lin Zheyu clasped his hands in thanks.
This terrifying annihilating black rain causes indiscriminate damage, extremely harmful not only to cultivators but also to demons and monsters.
Before his eyes, those demons and monsters who couldn’t withdraw in time roared miserably under the annihilating black rain, struggling madly, and finally left on the brink of death.
"This strange annihilating black rain is even more frighteningly effective against demons and monsters than against the creatures of this world!"
After observing for a while, Lin Zheyu said to himself.
He speculated that this wave of annihilating black rain might be a doomsday rain intentionally brought down by this world’s Heavenly Dao for self-protection, aimed at annihilating the intruding demons and monsters.
"Everyone, prepare now; take advantage of the moment to recuperate. The annihilating black rain will soon pass."
"Once it passes, we head to our destination at the fastest speed."
Ji Ziyang said.
The others nodded, absorbing Spirit Stones and Divine Power Crystals to restore themselves to peak condition while vigilantly watching the surroundings.
"What are those?"
Lin Zheyu pointed to the eerie shadows flickering in the darkness.
As time passed, Lin Zheyu noticed that terrifying phantoms began to eerily appear in the void.
These phantoms had bizarre and terrifying shapes, twisting in the rainwater, slowly coalescing from nothingness, becoming more and more solid.
