Boom!
The land quaked.
“What’s happening?”
“What was that force earlier?”
“Taihu Territory is collapsing?”
“That white light… Oh my god! That’s the power of a world! How could a power that belongs to a level three world esper appear here?”
An esper was stunned.
“A level three world esper is that powerful?”
“No, this power is definitely at the peak of the world realm. No, that’s not right. Even a peak world esper is not this strong. Such might, I have only seen it in one individual!”
“Who?”
Everyone’s gut was trembling.
“The Tian family’s old ancestor!”
That man couldn’t help but to have his teeth tremble, “The moment when the Tian family’s old ancestor attempted to breakthrough to be the strongest esper, he would have such strength…”
“You mean, Taihu Territory has the strongest esper here?”
Everyone laughed in condemnation.
This isn’t a joke!
The strongest esper?
How is this possible!
If mankind has the strongest esper, how would they have suffered to such a degree!
“It’s not the strongest esper. Just that the aura is very similar.”
That man’s face looked pale, “This power is the power of the world. At least, he’s half a step from becoming the strongest esper for him to possess such strength. Plus… this is self-destruction! It’s the collapsing of the world!”
Everyone was so horrified that they took quite some time to recover.
“You mean, a person who is as strong as the Tian family’s old ancestor or even stronger detonated himself in Taihu Territory?” The crowd swallowed their saliva, “How is this possible?”
Everyone was about to burst into laughter before the earth had another quake.
The strong aura passed through Taihu Territory and straight to the sky. This shook the entire Federation that even those hidden powers were awakened by it.
“This power… someone is attempting to become the strongest esper?”
“Who is it?”
“No, why is this aura so familiar?”
“Huh, isn’t it the aura of Senior Li Lei… Does Senior still have descendants?”
“That location!”
“Taihu Territory, that’s where Li Lei disappeared!”
“Is he still alive?”
Boom!
The Federation experienced a shock.
Especially the powerhouses at the entrance of Taihu Territory, they were even more shocked because someone already guessed it. If it happened to be the truth, it might likely be the last glory of Senior Li Lei. Taihu Territory, exactly what was happening inside?
Crack! Crack! Crack!
There was no time for them to think.
At this moment, countless fissures were forming in the air. Within a hundred miles around Taihu Territory, all space was experiencing a collapse.
“Quickly flee!”
“Taihu Territory is about to collapse completely! Leave now!”
“What about the people in Taihu Territory?”
“Nonsense, with such impact, they’re obviously dead by now!”
“Those people…”
Run!
Everyone was running wildly!
As for those who saw this scene from afar, they sighed emotionally. Some even felt that they were fortunate for not going. Some people felt that mankind had lost countless strong espers. Some people were feeling heartache. However, no matter what, everyone could only helplessly watch as Taihu Territory collapsed.
Boom!
Taihu Territory broke apart.
Endless power dispersed. This mysterious power that had been obscurely covering Nine Great Despairs had completely vanished. All the surrounding land had been implicated. Fortunately, it was already barren, and no harm was caused. Only by looking from a high altitude could one imagine how terrifying that force was.
Nuclear bomb?
Hydrogen bomb?
No, no…
When Taihu Territory collapsed, everything evaporated!
Everything was evaporated!
When anything touches that force, it dissolves and turns into countless particles as it disappears into thin air. Whether they were trees, buildings, factories…
They instantly evaporated!
With Taihu Territory acting as the center, within a circumference of a hundred miles, the white light covered everything and formed a complete circle on the Federation’s map.
Inside, it was totally blank.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Those world espers, who barely escaped earlier, were stunned.
Those powerhouses, who watched this from afar, were also shocked.
As for the Federation Inspection Agency, when they saw this scene via satellite, they were also dumbfounded. The ground level had been reduced by nearly a hundred meters, becoming such a smooth and bare land. After the force vanished, the water from the nearby river rushed in to fill the empty void. This giant pit with a radius of a hundred miles began to fill up.
The water flowing from the ground.
The water flowing from the river.
After a while, the entire Taihu Territory was filled up.
No one dared to approach it!
Because no one knew what else would happen there. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the original Taihu Territory vanished, and a new giant lake was formed. It was such a huge lake that one can almost be mistaken for a sea. From today onward, in the Federation’s territory, there would be a brand new Taihu Territory.
Everyone looked at this scene dumbly.
Watching the giant Taihu Territory form under their eyelids, the horror in their heart was beyond description. In the end, what happened inside?
No one dared to move for a long time.
“In the end, what happened there?”
“They went to the deepest part of Taihu Territory, and then what happened?”
“Senior Li Lei’s aura, what actually happened?”
“Everyone… are they all dead?”
Everyone looked at Taihu Territory and felt an endless sadness.
They knew that Taihu Territory is one of Nine Great Despairs. Just one mishap and an entire team would be wiped out. However, today, they finally experienced it personally what is the so-called true despair. After those guys created a legend by entering the innermost part of Taihu Territory, such a terrifying incident actually happened in Taihu Territory.
Is this the secret of Taihu Territory?
Everyone’s heart turned cold.
Nine Great Despairs.
Starting from today, one was destroyed. Taihu Territory was still here, but it has become a lake that is no longer being associated as one of the mysterious Nine Great Despairs. Everyone knew that something terrifying must have happened in Taihu Territory as it was enough to affect the entire Federation.
However, what was the truth?
*****
Somewhere in the beast domain, a man in white suddenly halted his footsteps. Behind him, one of the nine bright lights finally became dull and shaky as it was about to go out.
“Taihu Territory, in the end, it still collapses?”
That man in white looked toward a certain direction. Because of the suppression of the border, he couldn’t see what was happening on the human side, but that didn’t stop him from knowing something had happened there. The nine lights represented the Nine Great Despairs. Each light dimming represented changes within one of the Nine Great Despairs.
For the despair to collapse, that was within his expectation.
It was just that he didn’t think it would be this quick!
“Seems that something unbelievable had occurred… ”
That man in white sighed leisurely. His eyes lit up, “Such a place and location, it should be considered a good thing right? The battle between mankind and beast, it seems that it won’t be far away.”
*****
Within Taihu Territory.
When the white light vanished, everyone gradually regained their sight.
“Here… where is this place?” Su Hao woke up with a headache.
Looking around, it seemed like a cave dripping with lake water.
There were eight more people on the ground.
He clearly remembered that the only thing he could do during the last moment was to protect himself. As for the world espers who failed to react in time, they all died under the collapse of the world.
“In the end, I still miscalculated the might of a world.” Su Hao said to himself.
Obviously, at this time, he didn’t know that Li Lei had actually aimed to be the strongest esper in the past. Otherwise, he would never choose this kind of method to fight him.
Turning his head, he noticed everyone began to awaken.
“What happened?” Wan Cheng’s eyes looked blank.
“It seems that we’re lucky enough to fall into a cave at the bottom of the lake in the last impact, which is why we’re able to survive. Although I don’t know why there would be a cave here.” Su Hao analyzed based on the known information, but he didn’t manage to find anything useful.
Everyone was silent.
Apparently, the horrifying scene earlier was still fresh in their mind.
The power of a world collapsing was beyond any ordinary power. Such force, even a level three world esper wouldn’t be able to produce something like that with their full power. King of Hell and King of Fire were both closest to level three, yet knew that that power isn’t normal.
“Semi-strongest esper?”
Looking at each other, one could see a flash of horror within their eyes.
One battle.
Out of twenty-two people, only eight remained. They were also clueless regarding their current location. This battle was too tragic. Were they really about to get wiped out as an entire team?
Everyone smiled bitterly.
Buzz~
A dazzling red light appeared that stunned the crowd.
A red door frame emerged out of thin air in front of everyone. Through the colorless door frame, one could see the other side. At the entrance of Taihu Territory, many people were still looking at what happened in Taihu Territory in amazement. It looked like they were still guessing what had occurred.
“This is…”
Everyone was shocked.
“Could it be…”
Su Hao activated his Synchronize Space, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, “This isn’t the bottom of a lake but a different space! This space gap is temporarily created by that red light. As long as we step over the door, the trial of Taihu Territory will finally be over.”
“Over?”
Everyone was stunned for a moment before their shock was replaced with excitement.
This time around, it was a tragic exploration. With a team of fifty people, only eight were barely able to keep their lives intact. They didn’t know how much longer they could survive. When Su Hao made a judgement that it would be the end of their trial, everyone couldn’t hide their excitement.
Survived!
They finally survived!
“I will go first.” A world esper said excitedly.
Although the trip to Taihu Territory was fruitful, his apprentice still ended up dead. When he was about to leave, the red light flashed. That man was shocked and saw a sphere. The sphere bathed in red light fell on him and turned into a secret technique of boundary spirit.
“This is…”
That man was stunned.
Su Hao had a quick glance, and his heart skipped a beat. That was the fourth grade, perfect boundary spirit! When they were about to leave, they actually received one just like that? Is this a reward for clearing all the stages? This wasn’t logical at all! This is not some game. To be able to leave here alive is considered more than enough.
Where is something that I miss out…
Su Hao stepped forward and touched the red light.
A secret technique of boundary spirit appeared. However, when Su Hao analyzed the moment when the red light appeared, he seemed to have understood something. This was Li Lei’s power.
