Chapter 596 - 587: Rule Backlash
’Strange, what on earth did that kid do?’ Zuo Wenya frowned, lost in thought.
Suddenly, he heard a clap of thunder outside. An overwhelming sense of oppression washed over him, as if something terrible was happening, making him tremble uncontrollably.
’What’s going on?’ Zuo Wenya flashed to the window and looked outside.
The sight stunned him. He remembered clear, blue skies just moments ago. How had they suddenly become shrouded in dark clouds?
Countless bolts of lightning, like electric serpents, danced and flickered within the dark clouds. A vast, ethereal, yet utterly terrifying aura radiated from above.
This aura alone froze Zuo Wenya, a Divine Demon Realm expert, in place. His body was completely immobile. He even felt as if he could be turned to ash at any moment.
At that moment, two words surfaced in Zuo Wenya’s mind.
Heavenly might!
The might of the heavens is immeasurable. He finally understood the true meaning of that phrase.
Before the heavens and the earth, humanity was so insignificant.
Zuo Wenya didn’t know why such a change was occurring, but he knew that big trouble was likely brewing.
This terrifying celestial pressure was so immense that even he felt he couldn’t withstand it. For those at the lower Body Shaping and Blood Qi Realms, or even ordinary people, the consequences would likely be even more horrifying.
All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind as his gaze drifted involuntarily down through the window. Then, his eyes widened in shock.
The students milling about below would occasionally glance up at the sky in confusion, but they showed none of the unbearable pressure he had imagined.
He could even see Little Fatty below the training building, pointing at the sky and grumbling, "What the hell is wrong with the sky? It looks like it’s suddenly about to rain. How are we supposed to hold the ceremony to congratulate Boss on his breakthrough now?"
Zuo Wenya let out a silent sigh of relief, retracted his gaze, and turned his attention back to the dark clouds in the sky.
’Does the pressure deepen with one’s strength? Then what on earth is happening?’ He still couldn’t figure it out.
But just then, the wrist-mounted computer on his arm began to vibrate wildly—a sign that he was receiving numerous messages in a short period.
’Not good. Something must have happened.’ Receiving messages under these circumstances startled Zuo Wenya. Fighting against the celestial pressure, he struggled to lower his head, move his finger, and tap open the screen of his wrist-mounted computer.
Soon, messages began to flood his vision.
Seeing the messages, Zuo Wenya was first taken aback. The content was entirely from the garrisons stationed at the Abyssal Passages.
Anything happening at the Abyssal Passages absolutely demanded the highest level of attention.
However, as he quickly finished reading the messages, a look of confusion spread across his face.
According to the reports, a terrifying energy fluctuation had suddenly appeared out of thin air near the entrances of the Abyssal Passages, forming an Energy storm that was continuously rushing into them.
And as this rampant Energy surged in, the Abyssal Passages actually began to show signs of slowly shrinking.
He knew the government had tried countless methods to close these Abyssal Passages, but nothing they did had ever had any effect.
But now, they were suddenly showing signs of closing. How could Zuo Wenya not be astonished?
And it didn’t end there. He soon received more messages, one after another. These were mass-sent from the East Sea Base’s intelligence department to all the Divine Demon Realm experts like him.
The content consisted of major news from all over the country.
Without exception, every message was about the Abyssal Passages. The same thing was happening at all eleven Abyssal Passages across the nation.
Near the Abyssal Passages, Energy storms had appeared out of nowhere, surged inside, and the passages then began to show signs of shrinking.
’So, this situation isn’t just regional. It’s likely nationwide, or even global.’ Zuo Wenya quickly scanned the messages, his expression growing more solemn.
Because even now, he still hadn’t figured out what was going on.
Just then, a new message arrived. It was the latest update from the eleventh Abyssal Passage, the one near Changshi City.
The terrifying Energy storm that had just appeared had annihilated almost everything in its path. Under these circumstances, more than half of the green, poisonous fog that blanketed the city had also been cleared away.
The Military Department had taken advantage of this opportunity to capture some images of the situation inside Changshi City.
Zuo Wenya opened the high-definition photo attached to the message. He could see blood and gore splattered everywhere. Wherever the Energy storm had passed, not a single Mutated Zombie or Abyssal Creature had survived.
Even the Third Level Mutated Zombies were no exception. With just a glance, Zuo Wenya could tell from the size of the corpses that at least fifty Third Level Mutated Zombies had died in this terrifying Energy storm.
The sight made the corner of Zuo Wenya’s mouth twitch. He didn’t know where these Energy storms came from, but he was certain that if one so much as grazed him, he would likely suffer the same fate as those Third Level Mutated Zombies—instantly torn to pieces.
’Truly terrifying!’ Zuo Wenya exclaimed, but his bewilderment only deepened. ’But can someone please tell me, what in the world is going on?’
