Suddenly, an earth-shattering explosion echoed from the sky.
This sound wasn't close; it seemed to reverberate from a great distance. It wasn't aimed at Meng Hao and his group, but rather enveloped the entire Zhao State. In an instant, every cultivator in Zhao State, and even ordinary mortals, heard this explosion in the sky.
The suddenness of the sound stunned Yan Ziguo and his companions. When they looked up, their expressions were all shaken.
A vast expanse of red light appeared in the sky, stretching far and wide. As far as the eye could see, the entire sky had turned red, leaving everyone bewildered as to what was happening.
On that distant horizon, extremely far from Zhao State, cultivators in Zhao State couldn't see the center of the Southern Domain. The sky was riddled with an unknown number of spreading cracks.
Those were cracks in the heavens!
The explosion grew even more intense, reverberating in all directions. This sound not only covered Zhao State but also the entire Southern Domain, causing the vast Southern Domain, no matter where, no matter which sect or family, to gradually hear this earth-shattering explosion.
Meng Hao's expression changed. The black qi within his body surged even faster in that instant, shaking Meng Hao's mind. Without hesitation, he transformed into a rainbow streak, accelerating his departure.
Yan Ziguo and his group were terrified by this sound. Each of them was alarmed, and the cultivation within their bodies seemed unstable at this moment, as if wanting to break free.
At this moment, within the borders of Zhao State, the Feng Han Sect, one of the three great sects, was nestled amidst rolling mountains shrouded in mist. But when the sky exploded, the mist here immediately churned, and the surrounding mountains trembled. Inside the Feng Han Sect, hundreds of disciples, their faces pale, looked up at the sky in fear.
On the mountain behind the sect, the strongest cultivators of the Feng Han Sect, the two great Core Formation elders, instantly awoke in their secret chambers. Without hesitation, they flew out. In mid-air, looking into the distance, the cultivation within their bodies circulated at full speed, concentrating in their eyes as they powerfully gazed afar. They immediately took a deep breath, their expressions revealing fear. Although they couldn't see what was happening in that distant sky, they felt a colossal pressure, as if the heavens themselves were about to shatter into pieces. Furthermore, precisely because their cultivation was extraordinary, they could vaguely see the sky cracking.
What happened? A sound from the center of the Southern Domain? This is impossible! From here to the center of the Southern Domain is extremely far; sound cannot travel that distance in such a short time!
Behind them, the five Foundation Establishment elders of the Feng Han Sect also flew up one after another, their faces all pale, their entire bodies even trembling.
In Zhao State, the Fang Ye Sect, another of the three great sects, at this moment, two Core Formation old eccentrics and four Foundation Establishment elders were also in mid-air, staring blankly at the distant horizon. At this moment, the entire sky was a terrifying dark red, as if consumed by fire.
This... what is this?
It was not only the Feng Han Sect, the Fang Ye Sect, and the Qu Shui Sect of the Zhao State that were like this now. Sounds of terror spread throughout the sects. All the disciples looked up at the sky in a daze, their expressions bewildered. The Nascent Soul old monsters of the Qu Shui Sect trembled at this moment. Their profound cultivation allowed them to see further. Although they couldn't see anything specific, the sight of the entire sky seemingly burning, and the faint cracks appearing in the air, terrified them to the extreme.
This was no ordinary sound; otherwise, it absolutely could not have reached the Zhao State so quickly. The speed of this sound could suppress all other sounds!
The Zhao State was like this, and so were the cultivators of the various sects in the neighboring countries, especially the Five Great Sects and Three Great Clans of the Southern Domain. They were the closest, and among them were old ancestors with profound cultivation. At this moment, all of them felt an indescribable pressure descending from the sky. Moreover, because their sects were in the center of the Southern Domain, they saw a scene that outsiders could not.
They saw enormous cracks clearly present in the sky, and all their faces turned pale as if they couldn't believe their eyes.
On this day, at this moment, the entire Southern Domain was instantly shaken. Countless cultivators flew up, countless powerful experts were terrified, and the entire Southern Domain was shocked by the abnormality of the sky.
Meng Hao accelerated, black qi emanating from his entire body even more than usual, as if he had received some kind of summoning guidance, which made him tremble in fright. Added to this was the strangeness of the sky, which made Meng Hao restless. He rushed at his fastest speed to the nearest highest mountain peak. Standing on the peak, he looked up at the distant horizon.
He didn't know how far that horizon was from here, but at this moment, it seemed to be slowly cracking open. At the same time, a black light spread, and the entire world instantly plunged into darkness.
Not long after, the entire land of the Southern Domain began to shake. It was as if a great force emanated from the center of the Southern Domain, instantly spreading across the entire land. Mountains crumbled and the earth churned wherever it passed.
Because the Southern Domain was too vast, this spread took time. It started from the center of the Southern Domain, then gradually spread outwards in all directions, finally reaching the vicinity. Large mountains began to collapse. Fortunately, the Zhao State was very far away, and at this moment, they didn't feel much. It wasn't until seven days later that slight tremors appeared.
But even those slight tremors terrified the old monsters of the Zhao State to the extreme. Some of them had traveled through the center of the Southern Domain and knew that the distance between that place and the Zhao State was unimaginably far. Even if that place collapsed, it was absolutely impossible for the tremors to reach near the Zhao State in just seven days.
At the same time, during these seven days, a rumor swept across the entire Southern Domain like a hurricane, terrifying everyone who heard it.
A corpse had fallen from the sky!
This corpse had fallen into one of the three great perilous lands of the Southern Domain, the Wang Sheng Cave!
This news immediately shook the entire Southern Domain, causing a storm of rumors. It was said that powerful experts from the Southern Domain were also gathering in that area of the Western Desert.
What about the corpse of that powerful expert? It actually fell from the sky... That was the legendary area that only those who had become Immortals could enter! No wonder the shocking sound could spread so quickly; it contained the residual thoughts of that corpse before its death!
Becoming an immortal? Easier said than done. From ancient times until now, throughout the entire Southern Domain, ancient records only mention seven or eight such individuals. Yet, this corpse still caused immense shock. It's said to have been of ordinary human size, but after it fell, the ground shook for seven days.
