Chapter 910: Perhaps, This Is What Genius Is

A strange "gu—" sound echoed across the four wildernesses and eight wastelands.

The Xukong Dao Liefeng had stirred!

At that moment, countless Lianling Shi looked up to the sky, including those in Dongtian Wangcheng and the various trial participants in the Yunlun Shanmai.

Earlier, a rift had opened in the heavens, drawing everyone's attention.

Subsequently, the spatial rift had remained dormant without any activity, so people hadn't delved deeper into it.

After all, such extraordinary heavenly phenomena were beyond ordinary reach. If the sky cracked or collapsed, the Shengshen Diantang would handle it from above.

However, not delving deeper didn't mean everyone would lose interest.

So when the rift in the heavens no longer stayed quiet and instead emitted this strange sound that resounded throughout Dongtian Wangcheng...

Nearly all Lianling Shi of Wangzuo level and above in the surrounding areas became extremely vigilant.

What happened?

That spatial rift—

The Shengshen Diantang has sealed all information about it; we can only vaguely guess it's related to the Sky City.

For several days prior, it had never shown any activity, but now it's suddenly changing—something big must be happening!

Dongtian Wangcheng was thrown into panic.

No matter which city suddenly had an ancient fortress hovering above it, with a major mountain range nearby and a massive rift in the sky, it was enough to cause alarm.

After that resonant sound, everyone was on edge, gazing upward in alarm.

A heavenly anomaly had descended.

The eerie sound persisted for over a quarter of an hour.

Then, above Dongtian Wangcheng, that majestic Sky City suddenly began to hum.

It's moving!

The Sky City is moving!

Will it come crashing down, smashing Dongtian Wangcheng and burying millions of Lianling Shi?

Within the Wangcheng, people anxiously stared at the fortress overhead.

The anomaly in the Xukong Dao Liefeng had triggered changes in the Sky City, confirming most Lianling Shi's guesses.

That spatial rift must have been brought by the Sky City!

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

As time passed, the sounds from the Sky City grew even louder.

Originally, only a corner of the majestic fortress had emerged from the spatial rift, but amid the intense noises, it strained against the thick Tiandao Suolian chains, like a wild horse breaking free, pulling itself outward with force.

It's coming out...

It's coming out!

Oh my goodness, I can't stay in Dongtian Wangcheng anymore—I feel like I'll be crushed to death at any moment!

The people in the Wangcheng were terrified.

In a short time, the Sky City had gone from exposing just a tip to straining against the Tiandao Suolian so much that nearly a third of its volume had been forcibly pulled from the spatial rift.

Even just a third of it exposed an area larger than the entirety of Dongtian Wangcheng!

Debris rained down.

As the ancient city shifted, the sky seemed to shower meteors.

Chunks of fiery stones broke through space and fell toward Dongtian Wangcheng, only to be blocked by the protective city array.

The Sky City's debris could be stopped, but the noise could not.

The thunderous booms echoed endlessly.

This apocalyptic scene filled the lower-level Lianling Shi in the Wangcheng with a profound sense of helplessness.

When the end of days arrives, the weak can only pray to their gods for protection of their families.

There was nothing else they could do.

Fortunately, the Shengshen Diantang responded promptly.

As the meteors fell, countless figures in red and white robes soared upward, like guardian deities standing watch, steadying everyone's nerves.

Everyone, please do not worry. The Sky City will not descend upon Dongtian Wangcheng. We have calculated its landing point precisely. Even if there's an error, a Bansheng will intervene to move it elsewhere.

Lan Ling's voice spread throughout Dongtian Wangcheng.

The city fell silent.

Then chaos erupted everywhere.

These words offered only slight comfort, as people had no choice but to believe them.

Yet, while they might subjectively choose to believe, the objectively apocalyptic scene still filled everyone with genuine fear.

The sky darkened!

Earlier, when the Sky City had only revealed a corner, it had already hastened Dongtian Wangcheng's dusk, overshadowing nearly all the midday light.

Now, with nearly half of this ancient fortress pulled from the spatial rift, even though it was daytime, Dongtian Wangcheng was enveloped in gray-black gloom.

It was like twilight, with light unable to enter the city while shadows obscured everyone's vision.

What on earth is happening...

Lan Ling blocked out the city's noisy clamor, standing atop the protective city array of Dongtian Wangcheng, gazing at the Sky City with eyes full of shock.

She swore this was the most magnificent spectacle she had ever witnessed!

Even the initial birth of the extradimensional space or the endless battles of wits with the ghost beasts paled in comparison to the oppressive force of this ancient fortress on the verge of crashing down.

Turning to look into the distance, the Xukong Dao Liefeng was still whimpering, though the sound had grown faint.

It was probably audible around the Yunlun Shanmai, but in Dongtian Wangcheng, only faint echoes remained.

The anomaly in the Xukong Dao Liefeng triggered the drastic changes in the Sky City, overwhelming even the Tiandao Suolian and nearly allowing this ancient city to break free?

Lan Ling could only speculate this way.

She was responsible for monitoring the Sky City, but only to watch for Dao-slashing or Taixu experts trying to sneak in.

The deeper mysteries of the Sky City, and the power struggles among its higher levels, were completely unknown to Lan Ling.

As an unwitting pawn in this apocalyptic disaster, the only thing she could do, like everyone else, was pray.

Rao Jianxian...

Lan Ling clutched the Tianji Communication Pearl tightly.

She could only wait.

Wait for notification from Rao Jianxian.

Wait for the next battle command.

If this communication pearl remained still, all the red-robed, white-robed figures, and Shengshen Guards in the Wangcheng would stay at their posts, even if they were all crushed by the meteors.

At the Xukong Dao Liefeng, Zhanbu Shouzuo Teng Shanhai stared grimly at the suddenly gaping extradimensional rift before him.

Countless spatial shards burst from it, slashing everything and shattering the surrounding heavens and earth into fragments.

A massive spatial black hole had been carved out.

This was the fundamental reason that the Yunlun Shanmai and Wangcheng Lianling Shi could see—the Xukong Dao Liefeng opening its maw wide.

These signs that terrified the weak meant little to Teng Shanhai.

The spatial shards spilling out couldn't even breach his Cangshen Jia's defense.

However, the immense Shengli that had suddenly erupted from the Xukong Dao Liefeng earlier, causing the space to collapse and the Sky City to descend prematurely, made Teng Shanhai's scalp tingle.

Rao Yaoyao!

He immediately communicated with Rao Yaoyao in the Taixu World, wanting to know what had happened in the inner layers of the spatial turbulence first.

The Lingjing footage sent by Yu Zhiwen was set aside for now, as it paled in comparison to the anomaly of the Xukong Dao Liefeng.

After waiting a long time, there was no response from the Taixu World—Rao Yaoyao remained silent.

Teng Shanhai's heart trembled.

This was not good news at all!

Had something happened to her?

Gu Yu.
