Otherworldly Desert Dust

"Rumble~~~~~"

As the constant sound continued to resonate, Wu Hen charged toward the female. It was as if he could hear the deafening noise of ten thousand gears rotating within the Earth Vein!

The Dragon Kun's skin was as solid as the Earth Vein itself. Even if he unleashed his full power to strike, how could he sever this Earth Vein?

The sounds emanating from the Earth Vein were undoubtedly telling Wu Hen that even the Earth Vein possessed Bone Veins. When it moved, it made sounds different from the compression of rock.

"Creak, creak~~"

The sounds were crisp!

Like metal, like shattered crystals, Wu Hen heard different sounds!

The grand and majestic Earth Vein pressed down, but Wu Hen's gaze was exceptionally resolute!

He shot through the hard surface rock of the Earth Vein like a streak of black laser, aiming for its interior!

Within the Earth Vein, guided by the crisp sounds, Wu Hen finally "saw" a long, crystalline body. It was like the bone of the Earth Vein, the main shaft driving the entire massive Earth Vein. Because of its downward force, the entire Sky Earth Vein rapidly sank!

Wu Hen sped along like a light form, flickering like light particles, at times dragging long trails of light. He slashed along the Crystal Vein, each sword strike leaving a shining white river. These intersecting, chaotic white rivers shattered the Crystal Vein segment by segment!

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!!!"

Countless immense cracks appeared on the surface of the Earth Vein. Segments of rock, as vast as islands, fractured and fell away from the entire Divine Python World.

Mountains, forests, rock valleys, and highlands were all the skin of the female Earth Vein Dragon Kun. As Wu Hen shattered the Crystal Vein, they lost their vitality and peeled away layer by layer, revealing the true flesh and blood beneath!

The true flesh and blood of the Dragon Kun was crimson, like a gem-studded mineral layer. This color likely came from the extracted blood of millions of life forms over eons. It was incredibly vital, sometimes as calm as rock, sometimes as active as magma. As Wu Hen shattered the Crystal Vein Bone, he also traversed this thick red gemstone-like meat layer!

Fortunately, no matter how the skin and flesh of the female Earth Vein Dragon Kun fell away, it temporarily stopped the Heavenly Compression, giving Nuwa God End and countless Divine Python lives a ray of hope.

However, Wu Hen knew that although Nuwa God End seemed to stand at the edge of the world's window, these entities were still within reach of the Earth Vein Dragon Kun's maw.

As long as they hadn't escaped a certain range, they could still be swallowed!

"Rumble, rumble, rumble~~~~~~"

The male Earth Vein Dragon Kun, briefly dislocated by Wu Hen's slashes, had no intention of letting go of the food at its reach.

It was like a dislocated jaw. Even if it couldn't chew, it could force a swallow.

The "earth" represented by the male Earth Vein Dragon Kun began to rise, continually rising...

To millions of fleeing life forms, it was as if the earth tilted. The horizon ahead rose higher than the mountains, and a tremendous spatial flow, like a rapid raging river, swallowed all life forms, including Nuwa God End, into a dark, gaping maw.

The male Dragon Kun raised its head and gulped.

The earth turned from level to an incredibly steep slope, and it kept rising.

Countless strange birds flapped desperately, but how could they anticipate that as they flew higher, the "earth" blocked their path? Regardless of how high they flew, the "earth" tilted higher. Worse yet, despite their efforts, they didn't advance; they were pushed back!

Below, the ruined forest wasn't left behind; it crept forward bit by bit.

Similarly, Nuwa God End faced this force helplessly, like a woman climbing a steep path, only to slide back down.

Within the Divine Realm, in their homeland, the human earth, vast oceans, and extensive mountains all began to tilt...

City streets turned almost vertical, with people and vehicles sliding in one direction. Skyscrapers stood erect in the city's new orientation, on the verge of toppling. People inside clung to walls, and some even fell out of windows!

The Silver Dome formed a protective shield, preventing seawater from flooding the silver city. But no one could have imagined the ocean cascading into the sky, crashing against mountains thousands of meters high.

The Outer Heaven Continent was within reach!

It was like a vast Outer Heaven Continent about to crash down.

Compared to all previous disasters, this felt especially hopeless. It crushed humanity's absurd dream of conquering the Outer Heaven and ground their dignity as life forms into dust.

In the exposed sky, a massive Barbaric Land Vein stood tall, piercing through the Star Dome. It was vast and boundless, with no visible edges, like a brown cosmic tombstone before the billions in Nuwa God End!

People felt neither fear nor pain nor struggle, only a numbness from everything being shattered.

Their last thoughts, as if driven by primal instinct, led them to their mothers, to their families.

In a narrow house, within a flipped room, a family of three huddled in a corner, trembling as they held each other tightly.

A girl peeked out from her parent's shoulders, her tear-streaked face observing the tilted world, the hopeless Earth Vein Compression...

Something blocked her throat, but in her heart, she screamed for someone.

If survival was impossible, she wished to perish in her brother's arms.

She needed that familiar embrace. Her deepest fear was not feeling his final warmth.

And for some reason, his embrace held boundless magical power, making the collapsing world seem like a delusion!

Suddenly...

A figure appeared outside the window, outside the city, in the sky, towering like a giant of the cosmos, its grand silhouette both strange and familiar!

He stood on the tilting Earth Vein, holding up the terror of the compressing sky with his hands. This magnificent soul manifested as a black Heaven and Earth Sword, keeping a sliver of the world open!

Holding up the heavens and earth by oneself???

Though his back was grand and glorious like a god's, Yu Yu recognized him instantly!

It was her brother!

He couldn't give her that embrace because he was still fighting the cruel sky. He had to keep this world from closing, to save everyone from Heaven's fangs!

But how heavy was that force? Could he and Little Yi avoid being crushed?

Falling into the cruel maw of Heaven, he used his feet on Heaven's lower jaw and his shoulders on its upper jaw. This towering black silhouette was both a person and a divine miracle. A glimmer of hope ignited in countless numb eyes as the light outside the escape gap drew nearer!

Nuwa God End didn't give up, carrying humanity as they climbed the near-vertical Earth Vein.

Simultaneously, this miraculous individual, whose soul and body were infinitely greater than the previous Purple Robed Master, defended the closing worlds with his form and sword, buying the last chance for Nuwa God End to escape!

A million life forms, endowed with divine miracles, gathered instead of quivering, forming Life's Ship!

They flapped their wings, kicked the ground, battling the violent suction, genuinely united to escape the cruel Heaven's maw.

The collective resistance of countless life forms forged a "migratory bird's warm current," gradually offsetting the reversed spatial flow. Even Nuwa God End's steps became the driving force for all fleeing life forms!

The life's ship formed by thousands of species finally sailed against the current, inching closer to the gap, escaping the blood maw of the Female and Male Earth Vein Dragon!

At last, the infinite terrifying world was left behind.

All life forms climbed from the abyss toward the light.

They escaped... their lives weren't crushed!

But when they looked back, they saw the vast sword shadow breaking, the miracle man's flesh and bones shattering...

Worlds hadn't stopped closing, just slowed. The black miracle man lost his legs and arms, the Cang Mang Sword its tip and hilt, ground down to a torso.

The solitary torso eventually couldn't escape the quaking maw!

CRACK!!!!!!

With a deafening crack, the torso and sword were completely crushed in the full closure of the Sky and Earth Veins, black divine material spraying like divine blood across the bright mountainous world, still glittering but devoid of life and vitality.

Crushed, the god who kept the window of the world open was finally crushed to bits!

The Divine Python Earth Vein was ultimately the greatest of all. No force could match it, not even the black miracle!

The remains were swallowed, sucked into the Divine Python Earth Vein's belly, sinking into eternal darkness, digested bit by bit, becoming nourishment for the Dragon Kun...

Satiated, seemingly content.

The Female and Male Earth Vein Dragon Kun intertwined, swimming together, their bodies without a gap. The Sky Earth Vein and Earth's surface began growing together, flying toward a more distant otherworld at a pace that seemed to pause time itself.

Even outside, amid the Otherworldly Dust, those in the Divine Realm trembled. Even a brief passage of the Female and Male Earth Vein Dragon Kun through their Star Dome would bring several years of eternal night, nurturing tens of thousands of strong Evil Spirits.

Fortunately, ancient tales foretold that once the Female and Male intertwined, they wouldn't seek food again, entering a true carefree phase, separating only when hunger returned.

Their separation signified the birth of a small world. After unknown years, newly thriving civilizations would migrate to the Divine Python Earth Vein...

History repeating itself, eternally intertwined!
