868: Xenomorphic cholera

"Emperor Xia, what... happened?"

Looking at Emperor Xia's hurried departure, the crowd on the ground grew even more puzzled.

Moon Emperor also sensed that something was amiss; Emperor Xia's reaction was too abnormal, definitely not a simple sudden situation.

He immediately flickered, transforming into a silver streak of light to catch up with Emperor Xia.

Accompanying him were Martial Emperor, War Emperor, Xiao Lingchen, and others.

"Emperor Xia, what exactly happened? What is going on with that exploding place?"

Emperor Xia's flying speed did not diminish in the slightest, his voice carrying an unprecedented heaviness:

"You all do not know, but a hundred years ago, at the border of the South Pole Domain of my Great Xia Dynasty, a large number of fissures suddenly appeared in the ground, and many strange beings from within the earth rushed out of these fissures, disturbing the border of my South Pole Domain."

"Later, after investigation, we learned that deep beneath our Heavenly Dry Continent, there exists an Earth Core World! However, the Earth Core World and the continent were separated by a Restriction, which also isolated the interaction between the beings of the two worlds!"

"Time passed, and the Restriction, having endured countless years, had long since aged, leading to its breakage and the Earth Core Beings rushing out!"

"Last time, I dispatched Ye Ling frost to suppress them and repair the fissures."

"However, this time, the great battle with Rahu was truly too intense, affecting the entire vast Heavenly Dry, causing those fissures to burst open again, with even more and stronger Earth Core Beings pouring out than before!"

"During this great battle, the reason Ye Ling frost did not come was that she has been leading people to suppress the Earth Core Beings!"

"But now, she can no longer hold on; the previous explosion was the sound of the fissures bursting open, and I just received Ye Ling frost's plea for help!"

"The situation now is probably not optimistic!"

After hearing Emperor Xia's account, everyone's expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Martial Emperor was the first to speak:

"Such a thing actually exists!"

War Emperor frowned deeply, saying in a low voice:

"I have heard of this Earth Core World; I saw sporadic records in ancient Incomplete Manuals years ago, but I always thought they were fictional stories made up by predecessors. I never expected them to be real!"

Moon Emperor sighed softly, his eyes filled with solemnity:

"It seems that with the Earth Core fissures bursting open and a large number of Earth Core Beings pouring out, this matter cannot be underestimated!"

"If not suppressed in time, it might, like the Rahu rebellion, affect the safety of the entire Heavenly Dry!"

"Emperor Xia, we will go with you to provide support!"

Xiao Lingchen also nodded in agreement:

"I'll go too!"

He had previously learned about the Earth Core World from Ye Ling frost; the White Frost that his Revered Master possessed was a being from the Earth Core World!

Now, with Earth Core Beings pouring out in great numbers and disturbing the Heavenly Dry, Xiao Lingchen naturally felt it was his duty to suppress those beings!

At that moment.

Xiao Lingchen informed his Dao Companions about what had happened through a voice transmission, and then prepared to go with Emperor Xia!

However, just then, a black mist suddenly condensed silently from the location where Rahu had been annihilated earlier.

The mist was as black as ink, carrying a faint power of destruction.

"Whoosh!"

The black mist shot towards Xiao Nian in the crowd like an arrow released from a bowstring, moving at extreme speed!

Everyone present had just finished a major battle, and an unexpected situation suddenly arose in the distance, so they were not on high alert.

Nor did they perceive the approaching danger.

It wasn't until the black mist was close that Xiao Nian suddenly realized something was wrong!

She instinctively turned around,

"Ah!"

A cry of alarm rang out, and the black mist instantly enveloped Xiao Nian, transforming into a black shadow, and rapidly flew towards the outside of the Manhuang Domain!

"Daddy, save me!"

Xiao Nian's startled cry for help came from within the black mist, instantly alarming everyone present.

Xiao Yuanyao, who was nearby, naturally reacted first.

"Sister!"

She cried out in alarm, making her move immediately.

Attempting to retrieve Xiao Nian.

But the black mist was so fast that it had already departed before she could even act!

Murong Susu, Ning Huanhuan, and others also realized what was happening, their expressions changing, wanting to chase after it, but they were left behind by the speed of the black mist.

Xiao Lingchen's heart tightened when he heard his daughter's cry for help; he turned his head, saw what had happened, and his face instantly changed dramatically.

He disregarded everything else and turned to give chase!

However, he was stopped midway by Zhou Zhiyue and Ning Huanhuan.

"Lingchen, the matter of the Earth Core fissures is more urgent; you go with Your Majesty first, and we will go retrieve Nian Nian!"

Xiao Lingchen paused, his eyes filled with conflict.

Ning Huanhuan said:

"Don't you believe in our strength?"

"We will definitely bring Nian Nian back safely!"

Xiao Lingchen was also decisive.

That black mist was clearly a remnant of Rahu, obviously in its twilight years, and couldn't cause too much trouble.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have just abducted the weakened Xiao Nian and fled.

And his Dao Companions, whose strength was not weak now, were more than capable of dealing with the current Rahu remnant.

Xiao Lingchen immediately made a decision:

"Alright! Then you all must be careful. If there is any danger, immediately send me a message!"

As he spoke.

Xiao Lingchen pointed a finger.

He set Restrictions within each of them, allowing them to receive his protection.

At the same time, Xiao Lingchen also applied the Law of time to them, which would make them faster and more conducive to chasing Rahu!

Zhou Zhiyue and Ning Huanhuan exchanged glances, nodding heavily.

"Don't worry, we will definitely bring Nian Nian back safely."

Zhou Zhiyue's tone was firm; as her words fell, she and Ning Huanhuan and the others turned and sped off in the direction the black mist had departed.

And Xiao Lingchen, watching their retreating figures, took a deep breath, suppressed the worry in his heart, and turned to follow Emperor Xia's footsteps again.

Having reached their current Realm, tearing open space fissures was already an easy feat for them.

At this moment.

Emperor Xia suddenly tore his hands to both sides, and a huge spatial fissure instantly appeared before everyone, with gusts of spatial turbulence roaring from within the fissure.

Martial Emperor, War Emperor, Moon Emperor, and Xiao Lingchen, seeing this, also circulated the power within their bodies, each employing their methods to stabilize the spatial fissure.

Then they stepped into the spatial fissure.

In just a few breaths, Xiao Lingchen and Emperor Xia and the others stepped out of the spatial fissure, landing steadily on the land of the South Pole Domain border.

However, the scene before them stunned everyone, and the expressions on their faces instantly became even more solemn!

Although spatial fissures allowed for extremely fast travel, their precise location was difficult to control.

Therefore, the location they arrived at was not the border of the South Pole Domain, but the city domain of the South Pole Domain!

However, looking around now, the land of the South Pole Domain city domain had long become scorched black, with countless houses collapsed.

Amidst the ruins, countless bodies of Heavenly Dry Cultivators were scattered, blood stained the earth, and the air was filled with a rich smell of blood and the unique putrid odor of the Earth Core World.

Strange-looking Earth Core Beings rampaged across this land; some were like gigantic worms, covered in hard black carapaces, spewing highly corrosive black liquid from their mouths.

Others had several arms, holding broken weapons, wantonly slaughtering the surviving Heavenly Dry Cultivators.

Even more, some were as massive as small mountains; each stomp made the earth tremble violently, causing countless Cultivators to have their internal organs ruptured and die on the spot.
