Chapter 613: Is This the End?
A deep voice echoed from the massive eye, its sound resounding across the sky as the eye fixed its gaze on the Barisan continent. Its attention shifted toward the central area of the Everlasting Silent Forest, as if trying to peer beyond the barrier that shrouded it.
Everyone outside the continent’s barrier who heard the voice felt their ears on the verge of bursting. Blood streamed from many as the pressure tore through their eardrums. The cultivators above the sea who were closest to the eye felt their heads ring as their ears ruptured under the pressure. Not even the highest levels of cultivation could protect them.
They had already stopped maintaining the barrier after the earlier impact, swept away by the overwhelming force from the impact. Now, with this voice alone damaging their bodies, maintaining the defensive wall was impossible.
Tarius’s energy was pouring out, causing panic across the sea.
"Get back, get back! Don’t let that energy touch you!" shouted one of the cultivators.
However, not all of them could retreat quickly. Many were still affected by the voice, their heads ringing, their ears bleeding. Those left behind were swept up by the energy. In an instant, their bodies shriveled, as if something had drained everything from within, leaving only bones behind.
"Uwahh!"
"Fall back! Anyone who can still move, help those who can’t!"
All the cultivators who witnessed the effect of the energy were horrified. They scattered in a panic, flying as far as they could. None of them could focus anymore, unsure of what they feared more, the eye in the sky or the energy that was killing them one after another.
The leaders of many factions had already retreated further from the Impassable Region, their eyes fixed on massive eye. Sweat trickled down their foreheads, and their faces turned pale with fright.
What they saw, and what they felt, was unlike anything they had ever sensed in their lives. Even without thinking too deeply, they already understood, the thing in the sky was something they could never hope to face.
"Is this our end? How are we supposed to fight that thing?" one of the leaders asked, his voice trembling with despair.
