Chapter 661 - 464: The City of the Evil Object
Xuan Yuezi, Li Yi, and Good Wings were standing on a pristine white cloud, high in the sky, appearing as if they were immortals. As they glanced downwards, they saw a city beneath their feet shrouded in darkness, impenetrable to the eye. This darkness exuded an aura of death and ominousness, causing the powerful transcendent creatures around to flee, unwilling to draw near.
Moreover, the range of the darkness was expanding. Although the speed of its spread wasn’t fast, if it continued, many cities were likely to be engulfed by darkness, becoming lands of death and misfortune.
"Is this Tianning City?" Xuan Yuezi frowned slightly, unable to see any contours of the city.
Li Yi had Lan Ji double-check the coordinates, ensuring they hadn’t arrived at the wrong place. He said, "The city is already enveloped in darkness, and the reason is unknown. This darkness accompanied Earth’s second Sky Tipping event; it didn’t exist before. This darkness appeared suddenly, and many residents within the city have disappeared because of it... The investigation bureau attempted rescues as well, but the Spirit Power Realm experts they sent all vanished."
"More than that, even contact has been severed by the darkness, so I’m very curious, how did that Yang Wei manage to contact me? Immortal, what do you think of this place?"
Xuan Yuezi observed briefly and said, "This darkness isn’t a formation, nor naturally formed; it seems like a manifestation of some power. If we can find the source, the darkness should be dispelled. But as for what the source is, I don’t know. However, I can cast a Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing spell to try and shatter this area."
"That’s entirely unnecessary; there’s a city inside, perhaps with survivors. If you make that strike, everyone will be doomed." Li Yi immediately stopped this action.
"Taiyi, try using the Dividing River into Land spell to see if we can split the darkness," Xuan Yuezi suggested.
Li Yi was surprised, "Immortal, can’t you perform this spell?"
"I don’t know Dividing River into Land. I dislike fighting, so I only learned the Cloud-Riding Technique and Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing. After all, delving into such powerful spells is time-consuming. We cultivators have limited life spans before enlightenment, and the Dividing River into Land spell is a destructive technique, unhelpful for cultivation," Xuan Yuezi shook her head slightly.
"I’m only at the first layer of the Five Qi Realm; can I really split the darkness?" Li Yi had his doubts.
