Chapter 128: Meteors that Descended from the Heavens! (1/2)

Wailing filled Black Cloud City…

The descent of the meteor caused the all the stone buildings within the city to shake violently, many of which even collapsed.

Numerous less healthy mortals were hit by the terrifying blast wave in their sleep, causing them to cough up blood and die instantly.

RUUUUMBLE!

Enormous collision sounds were still resounding from the nearby Cloudsoaring Mountain and the earth was still shaking.

All the surviving commoners within Black Cloud City rushed out into the streets and cried out loudly.

On the other hand, even the youngest children of the Nie clan survived the blast wave because they had been cultivating from very early ages and their spirit power had been protecting their bodies.

However, there were still a few aged clansmen who weren’t able to escape in time when the buildings collapsed. They were crushed to death and buried under the debris.

Face cold like deep ocean water, Nie Tian stood on the cracked stone floor as he heard the cries of his clansmen.

Now, he was a hundred percent certain that the rain of flaming meteors that descended from the sky was definitely because of the appearance of the Heaven Gate.

Who would have thought that the opening of the Heaven Gate would actually bring such a calamity to the Realm of Flame Heaven?

Black Cloud City and Cloudsoaring Mountain were both in a state of devastation, and the surrounding cities might have also suffered from the strikes of the rain of meteors.

He noticed that right before the meteors crashed into the land, they had spread out and headed towards the Blood sect, the Ghost sect, the Hell sect, as well as the Spiritual Treasure sect, the Mystic Mist sect, and the Grayvale sect.

He believed that cities like Black Cloud City weren’t the only places that had been devastated. Even mountainous areas that had many living creatures gathered in them also had been bombarded by the meteors.

A large number of people clamored in the streets outside the Nie clan, each and every one of them in a doomsday-like panic.

“The Yun clan! The Yun clan is done for!”

“A meteor crashed right into the Yun clan! The terrifying force is more than enough to eliminate the Yun clan!”

“Are the heavens punishing us?”

Panic spread rather rapidly. Like madly growing weeds, it gave rise to a feeling of despair that made people believe there was absolutely no chance of surviving such a disastrous act of the heavens.

“Why is this happening? Why is it like this?” Jiang Lingzhu was like a duck in a thunderstorm.

“Father! Are you ok?”

It was also at that moment Nie Tian heard Nie Qian’s cries. He turned his head to discover that his grandfather, Nie Donghai, was walking out of a pile of debris with disheveled hair and a dirty face.

Bedraggled as he looked, Nie Donghai’s eyes were shining with a vigorous light.

“I’m fine.” He shook his head, while some lingering fear could still be seen on his face. “Luckily, I finished refining the Spiritfount Pill and rebuilding my spiritual sea in time. Were it not for the reestablishment of my spiritual sea, which allowed me to use my spiritual power to protect myself, I…might not have escaped.”

Nie Qian seemed overjoyed. “You’ve fully healed your spiritual sea, father?”

A trace of happiness appeared on Nie Donghai’s face. “Yes, I have.” Then, he looked up towards the sky, and noticed that there were no longer flaming meteors flying across the night sky.

He tried his best to calm himself and said, “Let’s go take a look in the Yun clan.”

“Let’s go!” Pan Tao said urgently. “Let’s see how the Yun clan is doing after being hit by that giant meteor.”

“Congratulations, grandpa.” Nie Tian sincerely congratulated him.

Nie Donghai cracked a soft smile as he said, “It’s all thanks to that Spiritfount Pill.”

At that time, Nie Tian noticed that the frightening earthquakes and shockwaves that had been caused by the collisions were all gone.

As for the casualties of the Nie clan… he actually didn’t care very much.

Ever since he was a child, he didn’t feel a strong sense of belonging towards the Nie clan. As long as Nie Donghai and Nie Qian were left unscathed, the deaths of others within the Nie clan wouldn’t devastate him.

Soon after, the crowd walked out of the Nie clan under the lead of Nie Donghai.

By the time they arrived in the streets, where people were rushing through hurriedly, Nie Tian surveyed his surroundings, and noticed that a large number of buildings had collapsed due to the tremors. Even more terrifyingly, an enormous, long rift had been torn open in the sturdy stone floor.

Many civilians of Black Cloud City were standing in the streets, letting out miserable wails. Beside them were the corpses that they had dragged out from under their collapsed homes.

There were also many people who had clearly been hit by the rocks that shot out when mansions collapsed, their chests covered in bloodstains.

“Master Nie, do you know what happened? Why did meteorites suddenly descend from the sky? What did we do to anger the heavens and make them want to punish us like this?”

Along their way, many grieving civilians saw Nie Donghai and thus approached to question him with their faces full of tears.

Nie Donghai sighed deeply. Unable to give a proper explanation, he could only keep on walking without saying a word.
