Chapter 582: The Great Disaster
“Father!” A child screamed as he woke up and shockingly found himself being sucked up into the sky.
The child quickly grabbed onto his father, a pale man who instinctively grabbed onto his child.
“Mom, Grandpa…” In just a moment, many children were screaming in horror; the adults and old men were frightened out of their minds as well.
“Quick, grab onto the pillar!” An old man shouted. His heart was stricken with fear and was aghast.
There was also a muscular man who grabbed on tightly to his bed’s stands, but it was all useless; he was still sucked up into the sky.
In an instant, more than 300,000 mortals were sucked up as treasure pouches came down to trap all of them.
“What is going on?” The weakest of cultivators were also sucked up from the ground and were deathly pale from fear, just like the mortals.
“The ghost race!” They screamed while their souls were escaping from their bodies after seeing the big shots from the ghost race standing in the air.
These big shots all had divine rings around their bodies and great blood energy; they hovered in the air as if they were deities while using treasure pouches to suck in all the mortals and cultivators.
“Greenvine Ghost Tribe, Sacred Earth Sect, what feud does my Blackstone City have with you?!” A loud cry appeared. The Blackstone Monarch and several hundred of the strongest disciples of the city flew into the sky with rising fury.
This was met by a thunderous roar from above: “We have no feud, but we can’t disobey the order of the Heavenly G.o.d. All of you stand aside or you will be sucked in as well!”
The Blackstone Monarch looked at the victims then angrily cried out: “Sacred Earth Sect, you are pus.h.i.+ng us too far! If you want to take away my citizens, then ask the spear in my hand first!”
“Very well, as you wish.” The thunderous voice replied. A palm descended with the intention to smash apart the entire Blackstone City.
“Activate!” The Blackstone Monarch cried out. His spear aimed for the sky in a very tyrannical manner.
“Plufff!” The palm only slightly trembled against this fierce spear then counter attacked from an unbelievable angle.
“Boom!” The Blackstone Monarch couldn’t dodge the palm. With broken bones, he was blown away while spurting out blood.
The Blackstone experts quickly came to protect their wounded monarch and propped him up: “Master!”
“Protect Blackstone City!” The monarch commanded while disregarding his wounds.
“It’s no use!” The expert in the sky said with a snort. With a deafening explosion, an invincible lance came down, piercing through all obstacles. The Blackstone Monarch and his disciples heaved a battle cry to meet this divine lance, but they couldn’t stop it.
Miserable screams emanated and, in just a moment, many Blackstone experts died beneath this lance.
The Blackstone Monarch glared furiously and screamed: “Die!” The heavily wounded monarch wanted to use his strongest attack to slay the existence in the sky.
“Ding!” In the end, the monarch was just not a match. After three exchanges, he was nailed to the street by the divine lance. Although the lance pierced his body, the monarch still stood straight and didn’t falter even in the face of death.
“You don’t know your own limits.” The powerful existence in the sky stared at the pinned monarch emotionlessly and shouted: “Take away all the mortals! The Divine Guard is waiting for a new batch to perform the blood ceremony!”
The rest of the ghost experts were spirited from the victory and took out more pouches to collect the remaining mortals and cultivators.
Continuous wails could be heard from within the city. Countless mortals didn’t know why a calamity descended upon them. They tried to grab onto whatever was close, such as pillars or trees. However, it was all useless; how could mortals oppose powerful cultivators?
A few cultivators inside the city quickly fled after seeing the unfavorable situation, but they didn’t make it far before being stopped. The attackers consisted of two great ghost powers with many disciples — quite a considerable force.
Another heroic group let out a loud cry, wanting to unleash all of their skills to save their people, but it was meaningless. A powerful existence stepped in, blowing away this entire group with a swing of his hand.

Southern Tang City was another large city in the Nether Border, one that had been standing for millions of years. There were more than 500,000 inhabitants that mainly consisted of humans.
The humans worked together to make Southern Tang a prosperous city. There were more than 40,000 cultivators at this city that did not lack Heavenly Sovereigns and Heavenly Kings.
“Boom!” Before many citizens could leave their beds this morning, it was as if the sky collapsed. While being completely lost, countless mortals in the city were sucked up into the sky.
