"The Sky" Fell

What exactly happened in the sky?

Shahai City, an officer looked up at the sky and asked with a solemn expression.

"It's not clear yet, but we've already started organizing people, and we're preparing to go up and find out!"

His companion answered him with a serious tone and a grim expression.

At this moment, the Shahai City is still recovering from the enormous wounds it has just suffered.

Even the order within the city had not yet been restored.

And just like that, another unexpected event occurred.

Moreover, looking at the gray, falling sky, this attack was definitely no weaker than the insect swarm.

The sudden appearance of vast clouds and mist blotted out the sky, like a ferocious beast with its jaws wide open, trying to swallow Shahai City whole.

The oppressive feeling of watching death approach was so intense that many of the Demon Race soldiers broke out in a cold sweat.

What about the ordinary people in the city who haven't yet recovered from the last war?

"Ahhh--!"

It's unclear who first let out a sharp scream.

As if a switch had been flipped, the people who had been frozen in fear began to flee in panic.

They were terrified, and their survival instincts drove them to run outside.

But would predators release their prey already in the cage?

Of course not.

The oppressive aura descended upon all living beings in Shahai City before the white mist could descend.

All the Demon Race who attempted to escape were nailed to the spot.

The light, wind-like spiritual pressure made them all feel breathless.

This was accompanied by a constantly pressing, gray sky.

Some of the Demon Race could no longer bear the psychological fear and pressure and collapsed on the spot.

Among the Demon Race army remaining in Shahai City, the strongest members remained rooted to the spot in despair.

They originally intended to fly up into the sky to check the situation.

But now, they are completely unable to move.

"It's over."

A whispered murmur, trembling uncontrollably, expressed the sentiments of everyone present.

The next moment, the rapidly falling cloud collided with the earth.

"Bang--!"

A dull, loud thud followed.

Fine, hard Feather Powder rained down on the Shahai City like bullets.

The first to die were the Demon Race outside the buildings' cover.

Immediately afterwards, the building began to collapse, and the Demon Race inside also suffered.

While the Shahai City was ravaged by Feather Powder, the areas outside the city remained unscathed.

The falling gray sky truly resembled a layer of mist, enveloping the vast desert.

Feather Powder began absorbing the flesh and blood of the dead Demon Race in the city, using this energy to expand further.

Shisui then easily cut off the energy supply.

He then consumed the dwindling amount of Flesh Crystals while channeling his senses into the dense fog.

The information from the Feather Powder was vast and complex, flooding into Shisui's mind all at once.

A long-lost, Shisui throbbing pain returned to my brain.

He quickly got used to the feeling, and his rapidly working brain was operating at overclocked speed thanks to the continuous repair by the Rc Cells.

A large amount of useless information was eliminated, and Psychic Energy fluctuations left over from previous wars were also filtered out.

Three full minutes passed before Shisui finally detected a faint Psychic Energy fluctuation in the eastern part of the desert.

The source of the ripples was the remains of an animal, buried in the yellow sand.

The carcass was severely damaged and had been almost completely devoured by nearby carnivores.

Even the remaining skeleton is not very complete.

Therefore, it is difficult for Shisui to determine what kind of animal it is.

However, Shisui Sui's keen senses still allowed him to detect the residual energy fluctuations on the remains.

The dense fog no longer expanded aimlessly, but contracted and spread eastward, reaching the area where the remains were located.

Shisui began to examine the corpse carefully, naturally no longer paying attention to the Shahai City, which was no longer of any use to him.

The clouds and mist receded like a tide, leaving only the ruins of the "sky" after it had fallen.

The Demon Race, busy waging wars everywhere, seemed to have considerable confidence in the military headquarters here.

They still don't know that their most important port in central Lantiao Continent has been reduced to ruins.

Shisui didn't care whether they would go crazy afterward; he was only concerned about the whereabouts of the Eye of Madness.

Based on the scratches left on the bones of the dead beast, he guessed what had happened.

This unfortunate beast happened to be passing by and then, quite unfortunately, ended up blocking the way of the rapidly passing Eye of Madness.

At that moment Eye of Madness, having just escaped its predicament, was racing against time to get away from Shahai City, so naturally it wouldn't brake or turn.

So it charged straight at the beast blocking its path.

The next moment, bullet-like eyeballs shot out of his body, and the Eye of Madness rushed forward without stopping.

All that remained was the carcass, about to be devoured by other animals.

The Eye of Madness was rushing forward at full speed, and its body was undoubtedly enveloped in intense Psychic Energy.

Therefore, this attack not only left scratches on the animal's bones, but also left a wisp of Psychic Energy.

Shisui used this dissipating Psychic Energy to pinpoint the direction the Eye of Madness were fleeing.

To the east of the desert lies a vast expanse of mountains and forests, the Beastfolk Main Lineage.

"Huff... huff..."

Chi An lowered his breathing and ran through the dim forest.

His movements were agile; the dense branches and bushes could not stop him for a moment.

He moved with incredible speed; the pursuers behind him could only see the withered leaves lifted by his black robe as he passed by.

However, high-speed movement comes at a price.

At this moment, he had already burned about two-thirds of his Psychic Energy.

In addition, he ran away because he had only recently returned from Shahai City and had not yet recovered to his best condition.

If he didn't shake off that persistent Beastfolk behind him, he would be captured.

He raised his hand and skillfully tore off the dark ear feathers that had grown from his ear.

As it swiftly passed over a thicket of bushes blooming with tiny white flowers, it tucked its ear feathers, imbued with Undying Cells, into the shadows of the leaves.

The strong scent of the flowers masked the faint smell of blood.

Therefore, the orcs, focused on tracking the Chi An Beastfolk, completely failed to notice the sharp-edged ear feathers in the bushes.

"Hiss!"

The Beastfolk was hit in the leg, and the dark ear feathers, controlled by Chi An, tried to burrow into his flesh.

That Beastfolk is no idiot.

He reacted immediately, paused briefly, drew his dagger, and stabbed it into his thigh without hesitation.

Before the Undying Cells in the ear wing could begin invading the body and take root, the dagger gouged out that piece of flesh.

The bloody chunks of flesh were shattered and destroyed by the Beastfolk using Psychic Energy, and the wounds caused by the gouging out of flesh were stopped bleeding using Psychic Energy.

All of this was done in less than a second, and the next moment, Psychic Energy temporarily filled the gaps in the Beastfolk's leg muscles.

So he ignored the pain and chased after them again.

This time, there was no sign of Chi An or any obvious trace of him.

However, the Beastfolk continued to pursue Chi An to where he was.

There wasn't even a moment's pause or thought.

Chi An on his intuition to sense danger, Chi An deduced that the pursuers were following him again.

Now he understood.

Something on him must have given away his whereabouts.

Given that he hadn't been exposed while staying in this forest before, the item must have been recently acquired.

Chi An guessed that it was most likely the Eye of Madness that had merged into his body.

This is a difficult situation.

If it really is that, Chi An has no way to remove it.

This indirectly proves one thing: there's no point in continuing to run away.

Chi An stopped walking.

Since that's the case, we have no choice but to fight back and kill the pursuer behind us.
