BXBX NOVEL Chapter 510: Try to Survive. The Hope in Despair
Chapter 510: Try to Survive. The Hope in Despair
The moon in the sky reflected a blood-red light.
The crimson light shined on the yellowish-brown dirt. Perhaps the dirt was tainted with blood, too. It looked chilling and menacing.
It was a land of despair. Everywhere looked cursed and out of place.
That place…was the world that homed Yun Shu. Back then, every species lived in peace. They were a diverse paradise.
Xiao Rou finally died. Yun Shu wiped her out.
She was considered already dead, just with her last bit of consciousness. It was painful for her to live.
“They let the Demons and the Humans fight each other with a Devour-type Spell. Even their Primordial Spirits were intertwined. Nobody could survive. It birthed a deformed monster.”
Goddess Nuwa took a deep breath. She felt disgusted and pained just from hearing that. She asked cruelly, “What do they want to achieve?”
The Forbidden Spell was unacceptable, even in the Chaos. It was inhumane!
Anybody would be enraged.
The world birthed two completely different species. They had independent lives. However, they were forced to devour the powers of each other. They were forced to fight to the death. They merged without consent. It was evil! Ultimately evil!
The two of them followed Xiao Rou’s final instructions. They headed toward a direction.
Soon, they saw a city.
The city was extremely majestic. It was different from a human city. The city was glamorous with lights and clouds. It looked ancient and powerful, too.
It was not artificially built. The city was pieced together by a construction-type Immortal Item!
The city was under attack precisely because it looked like that.
The attackers were not Demons. They were monsters like Xiao Rou.
Their bodies were extremely deformed because of the Forbidden Spell. They had chicken wings and duck feet. Some of them had fish eyes and cow lips and they still had half-human bodies. It was extremely tragic to look at.
However, they were very strong. Their powers were merged with Demonic powers. They were powerful and they could cast spells. Fire, black water, and cold wind filled up the place. They were casting flashy spells everywhere toward the city.
The city itself was casting spells, too. They were fighting against them.
Goddess Nuwa and Yun Shu straightened up. Somebody was alive!
The city was piled up with half-human half-Demon monsters. They looked menacing and dangerous.
The city was a city in danger. It was doomed.
They were like cattle in a cage. They were going to be destroyed sooner or later.
An elder with white robes and white hair had sunken eyes. He looked exhausted yet determined.
He held a Seven-Layered Gold Pyramid in his hand. There was Zen energy coming from him. He guided everyone around him and made them less anxious.
The cultivators around the city stood up straight. Some were cultivators, some were Demons. They stared at those monsters outside the city, holding their weapons tightly. They were ready to die in battle!
They were like trees that protected the city. One could never beat them down!
“The City of Hope won’t fall as long as we’re alive!”
“I’m ready to die. Bring it on!”
“Attack!”
They yelled. Some of the cultivators flew to the air. Some went straight for the sea of enemies fearlessly. They held their Immortal Items and attacked.
Soon, the city was raining blood.
The monsters were tough. There were a lot of them. However, they were deranged. They could not manipulate their Immortal Items, which was why they did not defeat the cultivators instantly.
The cultivators had been in many deadly battles. They were experienced and determined. Their hope and determination were indestructible.
‘Kill them!’
‘Kill them with all our might!’
The spells had bright halos. They were beautiful like shooting stars in the night sky. However, reality was all gory with flesh and blood.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a huge earthquake. A hurricane attacked them like an ancient beast that was awoken from its slumber. It attacked the city with a terrifying force!
The menacing aura washed over the City of Hope. A huge hand came crashing down from the sky. It was like the sky had fallen. They could not breathe under the enormous pressure.
The white-robed elder tossed his Seven-Layered Gold Pyramid in the air. It levitated and had a golden halo. It was like a small sun in the sky. It formed a light shield and blocked out the attacks.
Roar!
There was a roar from a faraway area. The roars came over them in waves. It hit the shield. The echoes from the shield caused lands to collapse. Three meters of land were wiped out!
Boom!
There was a black figure from afar. It was not large, but every step it took made the earth shake. It was like an uncontrollable force.
The figure was a man. However, he had black bear fur everywhere on his body. He looked like a barbarian. He even had two heads!
One head was human while the other head was a bear. They both had terrifying wounds on their faces. Their cheekbones popped out and they were scary!
The monster emitted the aura of a Quasi-Saint. He caused the hurricane attacks against the city.
The white-robed elder slowly levitated. He looked serious. He said, “Leave this monster to me. Take care…of the others.”
“Elder Qingyang!” yelled everyone. They stared at the elder.
They were worried but helpless.
Elder Qingyang was the only Quasi-Saint left. No one could fight that monster except him.
However, Elder Qingyang was injured. The cultivators were able to survive because of his guidance. Everyone relied on him. He did not have time to heal or to rest.
He could not win against the monster under the circumstances.
Elder Qingyang raised his hand but he was looking at a bunch of children in the city.
The children were looking at him, too. Some looked terrified, some looked determined, and some looked worried.
“Children, the will to survive is the best form of determination. Try to survive, never give up hope even if it’s hopeless.”
Elder Qingyang bowed and said, “I’m sorry that you were born in this doomed world. It’s our fault. We’re selfish because we wouldn’t let our world die!
“You’re our only hope now. Face the battle outside the city. Don’t be afraid. We hope you can grow up someday and lead this city out of despair!”
Then, he flew into the air and did not look back. He had the Seven-Layered Gold Pyramid above his head. He went straight for that monster!
“Haha—Come on. Let me see how powerful this new test subject is.”
Black clouds rolled in and formed a gigantic human face. He laughed maniacally and looked down on everyone.
“This is my first successful test subject. A double-headed monster that devoured each other equally. Don’t let me down.”
It appeared that the world had become a huge experiment field.
The city was like a toy for the Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal. He did not destroy it because he wanted to test out his monster subjects.
He captured the living beings of the world and forced them to learn the Forbidden Spell. Then, he forcefully experimented on them. Forced them to tear each other apart.
It was inhumane. An arena that was far cruller than a beast fight!
The people of the city lived in a hopeless place. They struggled to survive for thousands of years, but they did not give up!
Elder Qingyang flew in front of the double-headed monster. He yelled as he pointed, “Shoot!” A beam of light that contained Power of Law blasted out!
The light blasted toward the monster in the blink of an eye!
It was a small and delicate flying sword with a golden bell tied to the handle. It was ringing.
The ringing was subtle but it was effectively distracting.
The bell and the fast sword were a fantastic combo. Nobody could dodge that attack.
Quasi-Saints were powerful and destructive. However, Elder Qingyang used all his powers in that sword attack. No powers leaked out from the sword as it was sent on its way. A black path appeared as it flew!
It was like a page that papercut-sliced through space and time!
For cultivators of the same level, the cultivator that had an Immortal Item was definitely at an advantage.
Elder Qingyang had been a Quasi-Saint for 10,000 years. He was experienced in being a Quasi-Saint. He knew how to fight the monster that did not have an Immortal Item.
He knew he had to kill him in one single attack!
The monster did not dodge it. He raised his paw and tried to grab the flying sword!
He tried to grab the sword with his bare hands!
Slash!
Light beamed inside the monster. It quickly slashed through the monster and vanquished all his Demonic powers!
Finally, the longsword slashed through his palm and into his bear head!
“Nice!”
Countless cultivators inside the city cheered with gleaming eyes.
However, the flying sword did not fully penetrate the palm. That bear head was barely pierced but the sword stopped moving forward!
‘How is this possible?!’
Elder Qingyang jolted. He felt a cold shiver in his heart.
The monster had his other arm out. He created a huge bear paw with a push. The terrifying force twisted time and space. It created a spiral mid-air. Endless cracks could be seen spreading around the spiral. The spiraling black hole was about to devour Elder Qingyang.
The Seven-Layered Gold Pyramid shielded Elder Qingyang. Lights were flickering around the endless destruction. He was surrounded like a lone boat amongst tidal waves. He swayed with uncertainty.
Then, Elder Qingyang flew backward, leaving a trail of blood.
He was too exhausted.
He had been in too many tough battles. He was overworked and weak. His Primordial Spirit and powers were weakened.
Boom!
The monster stepped forward again and attacked him the second time!
The palm figure created storms. It became a jet-black beast that was about to devour Elder Qingyang.
“This is the best I can do! May God bless you with a miracle!”
Elder Qingyang faced the abyss of destruction. He had a cold glare in his eyes. He activated his powers because he wanted to give it his all and die with the monster!
It was a close call. A sudden powerful force appeared out of nowhere.
A figure flew in from afar. She was holy, powerful, and unstoppable. Everyone was momentarily blinded by the light.
Then, she wiped away all the attacks like she was clearing leaves with strong wind. All the monsters around the city were wiped out!
The world was at peace again. It was instantly quiet. The chaotic city was much emptier.
Everyone in the City of Hope was shocked. They also looked confused.
The face in the sky was as confused as they were.
Soon, he snapped out of it.
He yelled, “Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal?”
He was enjoying the show. He felt angered because somebody interfered.
“I remember you. Your name’s Yun Shu. You’re that weak and pathetic Saint. How dare you come back?
“Haha. Good. I need to experiment on a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal, too. Don’t run. Wait for me!”
