In Shi Yongheng's perception, the towering mountains that pierced the clouds, the vast rivers stretching for thousands of miles, and the boundless grasslands—all the once-glorious landscapes—had now shattered. Ordinary life had nearly gone extinct.
The entire Human Realm had become a dead domain. The former Bright World had vanished forever. Endless darkness shrouded the destroyed Human Realm. There was not a trace of light or warmth left; everything had become history.
"Another era has come to an end!"
Dugu Baitian could not help sighing. He had experienced many Great Destructions. Those were times when the Heavenly Dao annihilated the world. Even someone as powerful as him had been unable to stop it. After every Great Destruction, however, a new era would arrive.
"The Heavenly Dao destroys all living beings and absorbs the power of the beings in the Six Realms to grow stronger. A Great Destruction like this happens almost once every tens of thousands of years. That is why we insist on destroying the Heavenly Dao!"
Although the Heavenly Dao was annihilating the world, the Human Race's powerhouses naturally could not simply stand by and watch humanity perish. Thus, long before the Great Destruction arrived, many Heaven-Tier powerhouses had already taken ordinary life into their inner worlds to survive this world-destroying calamity.
But the living beings of the Six Realms numbered far more than a trillion, while there were only so many Heaven-Tier powerhouses. Thus, countless living beings still died tragically beneath this world-destroying calamity. After the Great Destruction, fewer than one in ten of the living beings had probably survived.
After enduring the Great Destruction, the Six Realms had also shrunk by nearly half, becoming a vast ruin that was connected as one. It was a ruin world without the slightest light, utterly silent and lifeless.
