Crimson clouds burned overhead, radiating scorching, sulfurous heat.
Several Judgement Group members... especially one female judge, who instinctively covered her nose.
There were not only supervisors and leaders from numerous teams, but also competitors who had lost in the melee and been brought back for emergency treatment.
More than a hundred competitors and over twenty team supervisors lay scattered across the ground, covered in wounds—but what exactly had happened remained impossible to determine in such a short time.
"What do we do?"
"What else can we do...? Save them first. Save as many as we can. Do what we can and leave the rest to fate... Qingyuan Jun!"
As the chief judge, Qingyuan Jun naturally could not escape responsibility for such a vile incident. His face dark, he descended upon the blasted mountaintop.
"The detonation point should be here." Qingyuan Jun swept the area with his Divine Sense and quickly found the site of the explosion. It was also the place that had suffered the most damage.
The soil had completely melted into smooth, gray-black crystal... Nothing remained.
"Who was the last judge to arrive? What were you doing at the time?" Qingyuan Jun asked with a frown.
"It was me." A male judge answered solemnly, "I was sending Nujia of the Eternal Night Continent back... The explosion happened shortly after I left."
"Nujia?" Qingyuan Jun's expression darkened.
"My lord, we found no trace of Nujia nearby, not even a corpse... The Eternal Night Continent's supervisor is missing as well. In addition, the Eternal Night Continent lost two team members, while Beili Continent, whose base was the closest, suffered three deaths... There are also 129 critically wounded!"
Qingyuan Jun slowly exhaled. The casualties were truly disastrous... This could be called the most tragic incident in the history of the tournament.
