Chapter 1648: Dark Moon Eye
The collapse of the entire kingdom would lead to the death of countless people. Cain didn’t concern himself too much with casualties—at least, not when it came to cultivators. Battle-hardened warriors, schemers, and opportunists, they had chosen a life that welcomed death with open arms.
Yet, ordinary people, especially children or those just beginning their cultivation paths—Cain had a soft spot for them.
His eyes began to glow, and the power of his Inner World surged forth, manifesting with divine radiance. The void left behind by the extraction of the kingdom’s dimension was vast, a wound in space-time itself.
In a heartbeat, Cain’s will shaped the void into something whole. The ground was reforged and the intricate web of spatial-temporal threads was stabilized. He ensured the place would remain firm and stable for thousands of years, thus preventing the meaningless death of innocents due to dimensional instability.
Once his work was done, his expression changed. The concern faded from his eyes, replaced by a cold, calculating gleam. He gazed upward with purpose.
“I need subjects for my experience,” he muttered, his voice a whisper on the wind. “And if I want them to believe his cover, I’ll have to put on a good show. I guess I’ll be killing two birds with one stone.”
The earthquakes had alarmed the entire Nightmare Kingdom and the kingdom’s rulers responded swiftly. From within the central palace, an elderly man ascended into the sky, surrounded by hundreds of armored warriors.
They moved in perfect formation, eyes sharp, their auras brimming with power and discipline. At the center of the group stood the Nightmare King himself, father of the Night Prince.
Although the tremor vanished almost immediately, the Nightmare King and the rest were all still on high alert, and could not hide the tension and fear in their eyes.
