Survival

The blinding red light swept across the entire sky and lingered for a long time!

The quick-witted martial artists, especially those who had heeded Ye Zhen's warning to "scatter," were comparatively fortunate. They had retreated more than a thousand meters at top speed before the shockwave and red light came surging in from behind. Those more seriously injured had their Body Protection Spiritual Armor blasted apart by the shockwave and spat mouthfuls of blood; the less seriously injured merely tumbled through the air a few times and were fine.

Those who had failed to notice, or had not taken Ye Zhen's warning seriously, suffered miserably.

More than two hundred Soul Sea Realm martial artists closest to the center of the explosion, along with over a dozen Pulse Forging Realm martial artists—mostly Brotherhood members—hesitated for just a moment before being swallowed by the crimson radiance!

Then, without even a single scream, they vanished outright!

More than two hundred martial artists disappeared into thin air, leaving behind not the slightest trace!

Those farther out who had hesitated and failed to evade were hurled in all directions by the red shockwave like willow catkins scattered by a violent tremor. Some had already fallen unconscious in midair; others had become puddles of mangled flesh before even hitting the ground!

Even more martial artists began vomiting blood wildly. Some, as they vomited, saw tiny dark-red chunks of organs mixed into the blood!

Enormous casualties were inflicted just like that!

There were also a very small number of martial artists who had been farther away but were consumed by curiosity. As they retreated, they stared fixedly at the center of the explosion, wanting to witness the horrifying sight of two monsters whose auras had reached the peak of the ninth level of the Palace Opening Realm
