218: Is this a battle on the level of gods and demons?

The outskirts of the Guyin Mountain Range, Shanyin City.

The world-destroying energy fluctuations from before had already subsided.

However, the oppressive feeling permeating the air had not dissipated; instead, it grew increasingly heavy.

Led by Zhou Weiguo, the Special Agents of the Shanyin City Psionic Bureau regrouped.

They cautiously continued their advance toward the core area of the energy explosion.

However, the closer they got to the depths, the more solemn everyone's expressions became.

An indescribable mixture of scents filled the air—a bloody stench so thick it wouldn't disperse, the pungent smell of things burnt to a crisp, and the choking odor of sulfur.

And there was something deeper, a lingering sense of death as if all things had withered away.

It was nauseating, and it made them tremble from the depths of their Souls.

Nevertheless, Deputy Director Zhou Weiguo did not hesitate for a second. With a raspy voice, he urged the team of agents behind him:

"Quick! Speed up! Stay alert!"

Fully armed, they struggled to advance toward the core area of the energy explosion, pushing through the suffocating remnants of Divine Might.

Every face was filled with tension, lingering fear, and the dazed look of survivors.

The closer they got to the core area, the more shocking the surrounding scenes became.

The earth looked as if it had been repeatedly plowed by a giant's harrow, covered in crisscrossing massive cracks and bottomless pits.

Charred soil mixed with congealed dark-red substances, emitting residual heat from the high-temperature scorching.

The originally lush ancient trees had long since vanished.

In their place were vast areas of wood chips crushed into fine powder by the shockwaves.

There were also twisted stumps that had been instantly carbonized by the high temperatures, frozen in postures of struggle.

Further away, several peaks that were once towering now looked as if their tops had been sliced off by an invisible giant blade.

The cross-sections were as smooth as mirrors, revealing fresh, smoking rock underneath.

"My god... what... what exactly happened here?" a young agent murmured blankly, his voice trembling.

"It's terrifying... the aftershocks alone caused this much destruction... what must the center of the battle look like..." another person said, their face pale, not daring to think further.

"Special Commissioner Chen... did he really survive a battle of this level?" someone couldn't help but ask in a low voice, their tone filled with worry and disbelief.

Unease spread through the team.

Finally, when they painstakingly climbed over a ridge that had been completely leveled and saw the scene ahead—

*Hiss—!!!*

The entire team, every single person, collectively gasped!

Time seemed to freeze completely at this moment!

Everyone stood frozen in place as if a collective binding spell had been cast on them.

Their pupils constricted violently, and their brains completely stalled as they tried to process the unimaginable image before them!

Was... was this still the Guyin Mountain Range they knew?

As far as the eye could see, there was only apocalyptic devastation.

The originally undulating mountains and deep canyons were now almost completely flattened!

Their field of vision was wider than ever before.

But all that met their eyes was charred, broken, and twisted earth.

The entire ground looked as if a massive piece had been forcefully pressed down by an invisible giant hand.

It formed an incredibly large, highly irregular sunken zone!

In the center of the depression was a terrifying giant crater over a thousand meters in diameter and a hundred meters deep!

The edges of the giant crater were smooth, and the walls had a vitrified texture, as if they had been instantly melted by extreme heat and then rapidly cooled.

The bottom of the crater was charred black, still emitting heart-palpitating high temperatures and violent energy remnants!

The smell of sulfur and burning in the air reached its peak here!

How was this still a valley?

This was clearly a meteorite crater formed after the impact of a celestial star!

No! It was even more terrifying than that!

Because within this giant crater, there still remained that evil aura belonging to an Evil God that made their Souls tremble.

And another brilliant and domineering sacred pressure that cleansed all things!

Two completely different yet equally terrifying energy remnants were intertwined, creating this bizarre scene that looked like the entrance to Hell!

"A... a meteorite crater?! Was this really caused by a battle?!"

"Good Lord! What kind of power collision would it take to cause this kind of destruction?!"

"Do you feel it? Those two auras in the pit... so scary! The residual energy alone makes it hard for me to breathe!"

"Special Commissioner Chen... what kind of monster was he fighting?!"

After the extreme shock came even more intense exclamations and horror, surging like a tsunami!

However, it wasn't over yet!

Soon, someone noticed an even more bizarre sight at the very center of the giant crater!

"Look! At the bottom of the pit! What is that?!" a sharp-eyed team member pointed at the center of the crater and cried out in surprise.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and saw that at the very bottom of the giant crater, on the charred earth...

There was actually a massive, dark-red spatial rift.

The rift was a hundred meters high, like a hideous scar, floating above the giant crater and slowly churning.

Pure and evil Abyssal Aura constantly leaked from the edges of the rift, forming a bizarre opposition to the surrounding remnants of brilliant Divine Might.

The interior of the rift was dark and deep, as if it connected to some incredibly terrifying world.

Just staring at it filled one's heart with great dread.

"A spatial rift?! Why is there a spatial rift here?!"

"Such an evil aura! It's countless times purer than those Demonic Evils just now! Where does this connect to?!"

"Could it be... those powerful Demonic Evils from earlier came out of this?"

"Where is Special Commissioner Chen? Why is he gone? Could it be... he chased them inside?!"

The moment this guess came out, everyone's hearts jumped into their throats!

Entering an unknown, different dimension that emitted such a terrifying aura?

That was too crazy! Too dangerous!
