Chapter 213: The Fall of the World
Long before launching the Undead Cataclysm, Tang San had used a special form of magic to scan Douluo Star for remaining God King level beings.
The results?
Only Sun Zhongjing, Neptune, and the Silver Dragon King remained.
As for White Cloud City's Lord, Ye Cheng the strongest of the four God Kings he was nowhere to be found.
This was fantastic news for Tang San.
Although he had no idea where Ye Cheng had gone or when he would return, he knew this was an opportunity of a lifetime.
Deep down, he feared Ye Cheng the man who had single handedly revolutionized the world with Ring Condensation and Contract Soul Masters, forging the golden age of modern Douluo Continent.
Thus, while Ye Cheng was absent, Tang San finally mustered the courage to step into the light, swiftly amassing his skeleton army.
His goal?
To strike before humanity fully grasped the danger, exploiting a time gap to develop his forces unchallenged.
For years, Abyssal invasions from the sky had become common occurrences.
People had grown accustomed to them.
They had developed countermeasures and no longer panicked at the sight of monsters descending from the rifts.
Tang San anticipated this complacency.
He knew that at first, people would simply assume his skeletal horde was just another batch of Abyssal creatures from the sky.
Had they realized from the start that the Undead Army could be endlessly created from human corpses, they would have eradicated it immediately.
But they didn't know and that gave Tang San precious time.
During this period of Undead expansion, Tang San had been collecting the souls of every slain human or beast.
These souls were sacrifices used to summon reinforcements from the Abyss.
With them, Tang San successfully brought forth three additional Great Demons, each as powerful as himself.
He wanted to summon more, but even with all the souls he had harvested, three was his limit.
Still…
With four Great Demons against three God Kings, the advantage was his.
"Today… let this world witness the true arrival of the Abyss!"
With his three newly summoned allies, Tang San wasted no time.
The four demons immediately began channeling a massive ritual spell.
The purpose?
To open a direct gateway to the Abyss and summon a full scale invasion.
A massive, bloodstained magic array appeared beneath them.
It had clearly been prepared in advance.
Even before Sun Zhongjing, Neptune, and the Silver Dragon King could react
The spell was already complete.
At that moment
The vast Abyssal rift in the sky began to quake violently, as if something immense was forcing its way through.
A crimson storm of light erupted from the crack.
Then
Abyssal meteors rained down from the heavens.
Countless bolts of red lightning struck across the land, bringing forth demons from every corner of the Abyss.
And in that instant
Endless Abyssal creatures descended upon Douluo Continent.
These demons did not arrive in one location.
They materialized everywhere in cities, villages, forests, and mountains.
Wherever life existed, Abyssal creatures were summoned.
Within mere moments
Cities crumbled into ruins.
The screams of the dead mixed with the laughter of demons.
Countless innocent lives were ripped apart their flesh devoured, their souls consumed.
The Undead rampaged.
The Demons slaughtered.
With this massive influx of Abyssal energy, the world itself began to change.
The concentration of Abyssal power in the atmosphere skyrocketed.
All across the planet, signs of Abyssal corruption became increasingly visible.
Lush green forests withered.
Fertile farmlands turned into barren wastelands.
Weaker soul beasts perished instantly.
Stronger soul beasts mutated scales covered their bodies, their skin rotted, their minds twisted into bloodthirsty insanity.
Humans were not spared.
Ordinary citizens, overwhelmed by Abyssal energy, descended into madness.
Their eyes turned red as they began slaughtering one another.
Fresh corpses reanimated as undead rising as zombies.
Even long dead skeletons began to stagger from their graves, wandering the land in search of prey.
This nightmarish transformation swept across the entire planet.
The world was drowning in Abyssal corruption.
And it was happening shockingly fast.
[This is the end!]
[How did the world collapse so quickly?!]
[Is the Abyss really this terrifying?!]
[In just a short time, the world has become completely unrecognizable!]
[Are they really doomed?!]
The livestream chat erupted in horror and despair.
For the first time, they truly grasped the sheer dread that was the Abyss.
In the video:
At that moment, the three God Kings led by Sun Zhongjing had already clashed with Tang San's four Great Demons.
Surprisingly, despite being outnumbered, the God Kings held their ground.
And the most astonishing fighter of all?
Sun Zhongjing.
Despite fighting two demons alone, he was completely unharmed.
[The old man… is incredible!]
[Still going strong!]
[I thought they were doomed for sure…]
[Thank goodness for him!]
The livestream audience breathed a sigh of relief.
They had feared that with four against three, the God Kings would be crushed instantly.
But it wasn't happening.
BOOOOOM!!!
The battle of the seven God Kings was nothing short of divine warfare.
Every attack sent mountains crumbling and the earth shattering.
The planet itself trembled.
The fabric of space distorted and collapsed.
For ordinary spectators, the battle was incomprehensible but undeniably awe inspiring.
However, for those who truly understood, like the Five God Kings of the Divine Realm, the fight was far more than mere spectacle.
"They're strong," muttered Destruction God King, narrowing his eyes.
"Their Abyssal magic is certainly… unsettling."
"Yes," agreed Evil God King, watching the video carefully.
"But for beings of this level, magic tricks won't determine victory. The key factor will be raw power."
"Who do you think will win?" Evil God King asked suddenly.
"If nothing unexpected happens… the demons will prevail," Kindness God King said grimly.
"The Abyss has already begun corrupting Douluo Star," she continued.
"Their environment is changing to favor the demons."
"As Abyssal energy increases, the demons will grow stronger…"
"While the God Kings will weaken."
"At this rate…"
She shook her head.
The God Kings would lose.
And, just as the Divine Realm's Five God Kings predicted…
The video showed Douluo Star slowly being engulfed in an Abyssal haze a grayish red sky, the mark of complete corruption.
The Great Demons, now empowered by the deepening Abyssal influence, fought more fiercely than ever.
Meanwhile, Sun Zhongjing's group…
Was starting to falter.
