Chapter 244: The Ever-Expanding Doomsday Force
After a few days.
Whoosh!
Gu Chuan's figure flickered as he arrived at the region where the Petrification Doomsday had spread rampantly. The entire area had turned into a petrified world, a vast expanse of gray, with eerie gray air currents swirling everywhere.
Wherever these currents flowed, they transformed all life and matter—whether living beings or minerals—into lifeless stone sculptures. A potent and overwhelming curse power permeated the surroundings, lingering like an inescapable death sentence.
The endless gray air currents condensed, forming a boundless petrified continent. Within this desolate land, countless stone sculptures stood frozen in time—the remains of those who had failed to escape the curse. This place had become an eternal cursed domain, where no life could survive.
Yet, as Gu Chuan activated his All-Seeing Eye to analyze these sculptures, his expression shifted.
"There is life within these stone figures... They are still alive?"
His divine vision pierced through the petrified husks, revealing the truth—though their bodies had turned to stone, their consciousness had not perished. They remained aware, able to think and dream. Their vitality drained at an imperceptibly slow rate, almost stagnant, akin to being frozen in time.
In some ways, this was fortunate—they had not died.
But from another perspective, it was a fate worse than death. If they could never escape the petrification, their minds would remain conscious for eternity, imprisoned in an unbreakable stone shell, suffering endless solitude.
And unlike beings in stasis, these petrified victims were fragile. If their stone forms were shattered, their existence would be completely erased, with no chance of revival even if the petrification was somehow lifted.
