"Starlight, you can slow down a little now."
Xu Ran had no idea how long they had been fleeing. Sensing that the world-shattering commotion behind them had become bearable and could no longer reach them, he gently patted Starlight's shoulder, signaling for a slower pace.
He wondered whether that Shattered Jade Kite had planned its escape route well in advance and done plenty of preparation. Along the way, Xu Ran and the Three Little Ones had fortunately avoided encountering any of the arriving Beast Emperors.
Otherwise, whether they could have escaped unscathed would have been an open question.
Xu Ran glanced at the Shattered Jade Kite in the nearby sky. It had stopped as well, keeping a wary distance from him and occasionally beating its wings as it watched the Demonwood Domain. Then he quickly turned to look behind him, where the commotion had never ceased.
On his first day in the Demonwood Domain, Xu Ran had looked down over the entire domain from the air under the escort of the King-Rank Beast Tamer Sun Tianchao.
Like an emerald set into the vast earth, it had been completely different from the chaotic Beast Domain, brimming with life and peaceful order.
Yet now, a full five of the Demonwood Domain's other seven Beast Emperors had arrived.
Although none of them individually matched the Sky-Piercing Blackwood, their combined strength far surpassed it.
Facing their assault while at a critical stage of evolution, the Sky-Piercing Blackwood was struggling to hold them off.
From where Xu Ran stood, he could see the Demonwood Domain gradually shattering and sinking.
Endless wildfires devoured the vibrant green, fissures tore through the earth, and the fertile soil became jagged and fragmented.
On the other side, towering floods swept through, while extreme cold froze all life...
For the living
