Chapter 1266: Devil Prison Mountain (1/2)

‘What’s going on?!’ Huang Xiaolong was shocked at the sudden violent quaking throughout the Void Sky City.

‘Is this an earthquake?’ But Huang Xiaolong soon denied his own conjecture. A great city like this, which is the number one city in Void Sky World has numerous protective barriers. Therefore even if there was an earthquake of a very high magnitude, it wouldn’t be able to shake this City in the slightest.

But the cracks on the ground were spreading and multiplying throughout the Void Sky City. Merely within few seconds, the cracks on the ground had already widened and the ground had started collapsing at an alarming rate.

At the same time, a terrifying energy rushed upwards from below the city’s surface. Huang Xiaolong could barely stand without losing his balance, therefore he quickly leaped onto the little cow and she swiftly flew into the air.

Looking down from the midair, Huang Xiaolong saw the flustered faces of various sects’ experts in the Void Sky City as they escaped into the air, just like him.

Thunderous booms came from the city below them, as shopfronts and other buildings collapsed, while being swallowed by cracks in the ground.

Undulating screams of terror reverberated from various corners of the city. Huang Xiaolong assumed that these to be the shopfronts’ owners who were trying to salvage the herbs, divine pills, and divine artifacts inside their shops, since this catastrophe had descended too suddenly and unexpectedly.

One could only imagine their loses.

The streets were collapsing even more rapidly now. At first, there were only several meters of cracks, then a dozen meters, and now, these cracks had turned into fissures that were wider than twenty meters.

The cracks in the ground multiplied and grew increasingly bigger, as if the whole Void Sky City was sinking into the ground. Even the roads and mountain ranges around the city quaked and collapsed.

Even more astounding than this was the thick black qi surging from underground, which contained frightening devil qi with corrosive power.

”It's Hell's corrosive devil qi!” The little cow exclaimed.

Hell's corrosive devil qi? Huang Xiaolong was perplexed, 'why is there Hell's corrosive devil qi beneath the Void Sky City?' He had read some of the Fortune Gate library's records about the Hell’s corrosive devil qi. It was written that the Hell’s corrosive devil qi contained a terrifying corrosive power because only a whiff of it was enough to corrode the weaker cultivator’s body and even his godhead.

Even though Huang Xiaolong had three supreme godheads and a True Dragon Physique, he didn’t dare to be negligent about this corrosive devil qi. He circulated his godforce and formed a protective barrier over him and the little cow.

However, as fissures in the ground grew wider, the Hell’s corrosive devil qi in the air became thicker, forcing Huang Xiaolong and the little cow to ascend higher in the air. They were initially a hundred meters above the ground, but now it was two hundred meters. Shortly after, they rose to three hundred meters, four hundred meters, and lastly, a thousand meters from the ground!

Huang Xiaolong grew solemn as he looked at the roiling corrosive devil qi that was spewing out from the ground. The little cow also looked solemn.

“Probably, magic creatures are sealed beneath this Void Sky City.” The little cow said to Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong nodded in agreement, as he was of the same conclusion.

Those in the air could see cultivators who were too slow to escape getting plummeted to the ground, after they came in contact with the corrosive devil qi. Their bodies twitched, and in a short few minutes, their bodies looked like ten-thousand-years-old rotten corpses.

RUMBLE!

A thunderous boom suddenly shook the whole city, as a large area in the ground exploded. The explosive force swept out like a tsunami with rocks shooting several thousand meters into the sky. Almost immediately, screams reverberated all over the city, as these rocks struck cultivators.

While these cultivators were fearfully dodging the rocks, they could see a giant entity breaking out from underneath the Void Sky City’s surface and rising above the ground.

Soon, everyone was able to determine that this giant entity was a black devil mountain that was exuding an overpowering corrosive devil qi!

The devil mountain continued to rise from underground, even though its height had already exceeded several thousand meters. It made everyone wonder about its height.

It was about an hour later that the devil mountain finally stopped rising from the underground. Astonishingly, it towered the city at the height of two thousand zhang and its width took up half of the Void Sky City.

The shops and buildings on this side of Void Sky City were long gone.
