Ch 488: The Capital Is Gone
“What happened?”
Countless Demon Race members were affected by the tremendous tremor, falling to the ground.
They were jolted awake from their lazy state, quickly rising to their feet, their expressions fearful yet bewildered as they looked around.
The air seemed to freeze in that instant.
Yet the changes continued.
The ground seemed to melt from the high temperature, easily twisting into bizarre waves, followed by huge cracks like spiderwebs appearing from all directions. Planted trees were snapped, countless Demon Race members unexpectedly fell into deep pits, and towering buildings collapsed at that moment.
The next moment, a terrifying energy suddenly emerged from beneath the city, effortlessly blasting open a whole section of ground. A fiery pillar of light erupted from the depths of the ground, instantly engulfing all the Demon Race members and the entire city!
Boom!
The enormous energy wave, like an unstoppable giant, effortlessly flattened the city and spread violently outwards at an imperceptible speed.
A huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky, accompanied by a roar that almost spread throughout the entire Western Ting.
At this moment, almost all the Demon Race members heard the deafening sound.
They all looked towards Xuan Luo Kingdom with shocked expressions.
Countless Great Demons were instantly alerted. Ignoring whatever they were doing, they rushed out one by one, leaping into the air to observe what had happened in Xuan Luo Kingdom.
When they saw the situation clearly, they couldn’t help but tremble, a sense of inexplicable fear rising in their hearts.
“How… how was this done?”
The scene before them defied their imagination. The entire Xuan Luo Imperial Capital had turned into a scorched earth, a vast, boundless deep pit. Countless dark gray dust particles fell from the horizon. Not a single living person was visible within sight – it was as terrifying as hell!
They only heard a violent roar, and the next second, Xuan Luo Imperial Capital was completely gone.
They had never witnessed such power in all of history.
And in the sky dome, with the appearance of the huge mushroom cloud, countless huge debris burning with intense fire fell like meteorites, centered on Xuan Luo Imperial Capital, bombarding everything around it!
Boom boom boom!
In an instant, it brought a terrifying natural disaster to various cities.
At that time, survivors from other realms within Xuan Luo Kingdom immediately reacted, quickly taking action to stop the sudden disaster, extinguishing the spreading fires, rescuing those who had been unfortunately struck from the ruins…
When they finished dealing with the situation and gathered at the edge of the capital city, preparing to rescue their Ruler of the Nation.
After seeing the scene like hell, their hearts turned cold.
On the ground were countless debris, with numerous weirdly shaped charcoal-like things sticking to the debris.
These were the commoner Demon Race members who lived in the capital city. Now, their auras were gone, and their original appearances were completely unrecognizable.
Countless survivors of Xuan Luo Kingdom, whether commoners or accomplished strong persons, felt despair and fear upon seeing this scene.
“Who did this? Why destroy our Xuan Luo Imperial Capital?”
“We didn’t do anything, why did we suffer such a great disaster!”
“…”
Countless people of Xuan Luo Kingdom tried to enter this hell created from their capital city, hoping to find someone who had luckily survived to inquire about the situation.
However, when they were only a step away from the ruins, a heatwave hit them.
Then, an extremely unpleasant aura filled their nostrils.
Within seconds, many commoner Demon Race members’ faces changed, instantly feeling nauseous and vomiting uncontrollably.
Seeing this, other Demon Race members’ pupils shrank, shouting: “Poisonous, don’t go in!”
Xuan Luo Kingdom’s Demon Race experts quickly moved the nearby commoner Demon Race members to other places, arranged for doctors to treat them, and after preparing their own defenses, they took a deep breath and stepped inside.
However, even after searching every inch of the ground and every realm, they couldn’t find any sign of a living person. Not only living people, but even other biology had all turned to charcoal, completely turning into a death realm.
Even if it was hard to believe, they had to admit that all the citizens of the capital city were dead, including their Ruler of the Nation.
Having lost their Ruler of the Nation, Xuan Luo Kingdom was essentially nonexistent and became turbulent.
Not only that, but the Demon Race members who had briefly touched the ruins also suddenly developed malignant diseases. They first vomited and had diarrhea, feeling excruciating pain, and finally could only watch helplessly as their bodies rotted and died.
The most terrifying thing was that this deadly poison could spread.
For a time, in order to prevent this from happening, the Demon Race members could only painfully kill their poisoned companions and dispose of them elsewhere, preventing this terrifying deadly poison from spreading completely.
The news that Xuan Luo Imperial Capital had been destroyed in an unexpected explosion quickly spread throughout the Western Ting.
Many found the incident unbelievable.
“What kind of terrifying power could level the Imperial Capital? Even Demon Saint wouldn’t be able to do this, right!”
“If this was man-made, it’s really terrifying. Being able to instantly destroy Xuan Luo Imperial Capital, who in our vast Tianxuan Realm could stop them?”
“Such power couldn’t possibly be man-made. If someone really could do this, they’d have to be a legendary immortal!”
“…”
Countless Demon Race members were discussing how this happened and the causes and consequences.
However, they didn’t know the inside story, mostly speculating based on their own experiences and knowledge.
Commoners found this very novel, but the Rulers of the Nation had much more to consider. They also thought of a problem.
Xuan Luo Kingdom, such a large kingdom, was gone just like that, gone so inexplicably. Would it be their turn next?
Thus, the Rulers of the other Demon Kingdoms, while shocked, felt inexplicably panicked. They ordered the soldiers stationed in various realms to be mobilized. If there were any suspicious people or events, they were to report immediately and be on high alert, in case they would also experience such a natural disaster.
Among the Eight Great Demon Kingdoms, the three Rulers of You Xu, Blood Sand, and Nine Abyss, who had good relations with the Ruler of Xuan Luo Kingdom, had bad guesses after hearing this news.
They didn’t even have time to deal with their affairs and contacted each other to meet at a location to discuss the strangeness of the matter.
The three of them had a guess.
They thought that the Ruler of Xuan Luo Kingdom had offended someone they shouldn’t have.
In the Western Ting, the only one they wouldn’t dare to offend with their identities and status was probably that person.
However, regarding that person, the three Rulers tacitly avoided mentioning them.
Five days passed in a blink of an eye.
Divine Palace, Dragon Court.
The caravan disguised by Xuan Leshan and others was brought before the Dragon Hall by a group of soldiers in armor.
At that time, the Envoy of Xuan Luo Kingdom had been waiting in the Great Hall for a long time.
Upon seeing Xuan Leshan leading a group of Demon Race members, his face lit up, and he hurriedly greeted them.
“You’re finally here, come with me quickly.”
During these days, in the Human Race realm of the Divine Palace, he felt like he was on pins and needles, unable to eat or sleep well.
Originally, it was better with the company of the envoys from the other three kingdoms.
But who knew that after a few days they all left, leaving him alone here.
Alone in this strange place, he faced tremendous pressure constantly.
“Good.”
Xuan Leshan gave a signal to his companions, then took out the box containing the earth veins from his storage bag, took a deep breath, and entered the Great Hall with the envoy.
