More Than Just Contamination!

Qian Renxue's movements were equally swift and sharp.

Her golden figure was like light traversing the battlefield, her Angel Holy Sword radiating brilliant and holy golden flames.

A mutated Poison Dart Frog, no bigger than a palm, lunged at her from the side. Its skin shimmered with an eerie light that intertwined with dark blue and red. Before the purple venom Spit Up from its mouth could even reach her, it was instantly purified and evaporated by the flames of the Holy Sword!

The Holy Sword slashed down, and the creature containing the Toxic was reduced to ashes before it could even scream in the holy flames.

"These Soul Beast..."

Qian Renxue stood with her sword sheathed, her face veiled in frost. Her holy golden eyes swept over the remaining mess on the city wall—the corpses of soldiers, broken weapons, dark red bloodstains, and the withered traces left by Lin Xia's vines binding them.

"Their power level is extremely low, but the violent will and Corrosion Ability hidden in their bloodline essence... are like diluted divine power contaminated! Yu Xiaogang and the God of Wrath... what exactly are they doing?"

Lin Xia walked to the edge of the city wall, her gaze falling on the increasingly eerie forest outside the city.

The sounds of birdsong and animal roars that could be heard a year ago are now replaced by deathly silence.

At the edge of the forest, the trees appeared sickly and withered, as if their vitality had been Sheer Force drained away.

Further away, the faint sounds of heavy, thunderous trampling and the rumble of falling trees could be heard.

"It's more than just pollution."

Lin Xia's voice was unusually solemn as he pointed to a patch of tree canopy at the edge of the distant forest that was shaking violently.

"Look over there!"

At the edge of the grove, several enormous ancient trees, each requiring several people to encircle, were violently knocked down like fragile stalks of wheat!

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a colossal figure, resembling a moving mountain, slowly emerged!

That was an "Iron-Armored Rock Rhino"!

But its appearance is enough to send chills down the spine of anyone familiar with this kind of Soul Beast!

Its size far exceeds that of its kind, resembling a small fortress covered with thick rocks.

Its originally sturdy, rough, grayish-brown skin was completely replaced by a dull, dark red carapace that shimmered with a cold metallic sheen! This carapace was incredibly thick, layer upon layer, covering its entire body, leaving only gaps at the joints.

The surface of the carapace was no longer the natural rock pattern, but was covered with thicker and more ferocious pale golden energy veins. These veins pulsated slightly like living things, and each pulsation emitted a heart-palpitating Gravity and a violent aura.

What's most terrifying is its already thick single horn on its head!

At this moment, it was completely enveloped by thick, menacing layers of dark red keratin, its tip gleaming with a dark, metallic light, its length and sharpness reaching a terrifying level!

A ferocious pressure far exceeding that of an ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast swept over us like a tangible tsunami!

With each step it took, the earth groaned and trembled! The surviving taxi soldiers on the city wall turned deathly pale instantly. Faced with this oppressive force, their legs trembled uncontrollably, and some even lost their grip on their weapons.

"Ten thousand years... This aura is definitely that of a genuine Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

Lin Xia gasped, her eyes filled with disbelief and horror.

"How long does it normally take for Iron-Armored Rock Rhino to grow from a cub to ten thousand years old? Yet the newly formed, not yet fully stable Soul Power fluctuations on its body... although forcibly amplified by divine Sheer Force, clearly reveal a sense of 'immaturity'! This beast is very likely... only recently born!"

This deduction sent shockwaves through the minds of the three.

One year!

Just one year!

The God of Wrath and Yu Xiaogang, through an unknown means, were able to give birth to a terrifying monster army whose power could transcend the threshold of a thousand or ten thousand years!

This has gone beyond the normal laws of Soul Beast reproduction, and has become a kind of mass "manufacturing" that desecrates the rules of life!

"Roar--!!!"

The newly born, ten-thousand-year-old Iron-Armored Rock Rhino seemed to be attracted by the human presence on the city wall. It suddenly raised its head, which resembled a battering ram, and let out a deafening roar filled with destructive desire!

Its crimson giant eyes held no emotions of any intelligent being, only a pure, monstrous instinct for slaughter, twisted and driven by raging divine power!

Its four hooves pounded the ground, its thick hooves sinking deep into the mud, and with an overwhelming momentum, it charged towards the towering city gate of Heaven Dou City like an out-of-control lava mountain!

Boom--Rumble--!!!

The earth trembled violently under its heavy trampling, and dust billowed into the sky!

Every step it took seemed to pound on the hearts of all the city's defenders!

The enormous body covered in dark red metallic armor, shrouded in Divine Power Markings, and with its terrifying single horn capable of piercing through city gates, cast a despairing shadow in the last rays of the setting sun, like a harbinger of the apocalypse!

"Teacher!"

Lin Xia could no longer remain calm. She abruptly turned to look at Bibi Dong, whose aura was icy cold, her voice trembling slightly with shock, anger, and urgency.

"Where is the Divine Realm?! Where is the Judgment of the Divine Realm?! The God of Wrath is so unscrupulous, openly trampling on the iron law, giving birth to such blasphemous creations, and unleashing a beast tide to slaughter living beings... Are those high and mighty gods all blind? Why has it been a whole year, and not a single divine messenger has come down to intervene?!"

Bibi Dong's stunningly beautiful face was shrouded in the shadow of the city wall, her purple eyes churning with an abyss of coldness and a hint of... a rare solemnity that even she herself could not fully explain.

She slowly turned her head to meet Lin Xia's anxious gaze, and remained silent for a few moments.

The silence weighed heavily on Lin Xia's heart like a boulder.

Finally, she spoke, her voice still cold and steady, yet it carried an unsettling sense of emptiness.

"Have no idea."

Bibi Dong paused, as if sensing something, and finally shook her head slightly. A shadow of gloom, which she herself did not Frisk, flashed deep in her cold purple eyes.

"My contact with Rakshasa... has been severed. There has been no response since my warning several months ago."

"What?!"

There should be an invisible bond of faith and power between the deities and their Godhood Inheritance on the mainland. Although they are not in constant communication, there will be a response when the successors encounter major changes or actively call upon them!

How could a being like the Rakshasa God possibly turn a blind eye to such blatant blasphemy by the God of Wrath?

Qian Renxue also heard Bibi Dong's words, and for the first time, a violent tremor appeared on her usually cold face.

She gripped the humming, trembling Angel Holy Sword tightly in her hand, and the holy flames flowing across its blade seemed to dim for a moment.

"Angel God."

Qian Renxue's voice carried an undisguised surprise and a hint of barely Frisk panic, her golden pupils fixed on the terrifying behemoth that was drawing ever closer outside the city.

"... has been silent for several months now!"

This was a secret she kept deep in her heart. If Bibi Dong hadn't revealed her similar experience at this moment, she would never have spoken of it so easily!

The communication between the Angel God and the Rakshasa God was simultaneously severed?!
