Chapter 405: True Origin (I)
A terrifying, thunderous roar exploded through the air. Inside Wuling City, almost everyone was jolted awake from their sleep. Their faces turned pale, and their clothes were instantly soaked with cold sweat. The first thing nearly everyone did after waking was clutch the clothing over their chest tightly with both hands. A violent palpitation surged from their hearts, making it feel as though they could not breathe. They opened their mouths wide, gasping frantically for air.Hiss... Am I about to suddenly drop dead?
Countless people had this very thought flash through their minds.
This time, the place where the space-time node opened was very close to Wuling City. It was so close that almost all the citizens of Wuling City could sense the terrifying pressure, along with the inexplicable heart-pounding dread that spread through the air when the space-time node was torn open. Unlike ordinary people, martial artists possessed far sharper perception. At the very instant the disturbance occurred, nearly every martial artist sensed a vast pressure like heavenly might descending from the horizon, crushing down on them until they could barely breathe.
"Not good. That's the area Little Yu[1] is responsible for!"
Inside Azure Tide Pavilion, Elder Yang abruptly opened his eyes and leapt up onto the rooftop.
Sensing the direction from which the terrifying pressure came, a formidable momentum qi surged from Elder Yang's body. With a single leap, his figure vanished into the night sky. There were quite a few martial artists like Elder Yang, though most of them were merely going to see what was happening.
Unlike the martial artists inside Wuling City, however, those stationed in the area under Lin Zheyu's responsibility experienced a level of fear they had never felt before.
Li Yin, who had been patrolling the forest and hunting demon puppets, reacted the instant the disturbance occurred. She quickly retreated and rushed toward the defensive line. Yet before she could make it far, the demon god pressure pouring down from the sky slammed her to the ground, leaving her completely unable to move.
Fortunately, not long after, another vast pressure like heavenly might surged from the direction of Wuling City and neutralized the demon god pressure, giving her a chance to breathe again. Li Yin sprang up from the ground, and her first thought was to run.
Roar! Roar!
She had not gone far before the demon puppets lying in ambush within the forest discovered her and rushed forward with furious roars, surrounding Li Yin.
