Chapter 578: The Start of a Catastrophe

BZZZ! BZZZ!

One Sound Stone after another made sounds as messages came through from the chosen ones’ seniors.

Gasping with astonishment, Dong Baijie exclaimed, “Senior Dong Tuodi and three Worldly realm members were the only survivors!”

Cao Qiushui looked as if he had lost his dearest family members as he muttered soullessly, “I can’t believe he died...”

The person he was talking about was the Profound realm Cao Zhaoji from the Cao Clan.

Ye Qin from the Yin Sect and Chen Hao from the Yang Sect also looked very gray as they almost collapsed.

Facing everyone’s inquiring gazes, Ye Qin said, her voice filled with sorrow, “All of our Profound realm seniors have died in battle. Only a few Worldly realm disciples survived.”

Chen Hao looked stunned as he said, “It’s the same with my sect. All of our Profound realm experts are dead.”

As for Xuan Ke from the Ice Pavilion Sect, the hand he used to hold his Sound Stone couldn’t stop shivering as he said, “One of our Profound realm seniors survived, along with a handful of Worldly realm disciples.”

“My grandfather Qin Yi also fought to the death...” Qin Yan said, her voice filled with grief. “Only a few Worldly realm members are still alive.”

Qian Xin from the Pill Pavilion Sect looked very grim as he said, “Senior Zhong Pu has sustained heavy injuries, but luckily, he’s still alive.”

Gu Haofeng looked dispirited like a frost-stricken bud as he said, “Our Profound realm senior also died at the hands of outsiders.”

Of the five Profound realm experts from the five forces of the Realm of a Hundred Battles, Dong Tuodi from the Dong Clan and Zhong Pu from the Pill Pavilion Sect were the only ones that were still alive.

Meanwhile, the Yin Sect and the Yang Sect had lost all of their Profound realm seniors, and the Ice Pavilion Sect had only one Profound realm expert that survived the battles.

After learning about the current situation, each and every young leader looked as if they had lost their souls.

Back when they had discovered the fourth grade outsiders, they had suspected that more powerful outsider experts had also come to this boundless black sea.

It was just that those fifth, sixth, and even seventh grade outsiders must have been on other islands.

They had felt that the situation didn’t favor them, and that their seniors might also face tough challenges and suffer losses.

However, this was something they had never imagined. The deaths of their Profound realm experts struck them like a sharp blade through the heart.

“I’m not surprised,” Nie Tian said.

Everyone turned to look at him.

“From my conversation with Armes, the Phantasm in charge, I learned that the six spatial rifts that led us into this dimension had been arranged by the outsiders.” Nie Tian didn’t intend to hold anything back. “Perhaps you’ve heard that Phantasms have been spotted in the Realm of Split Void recently. Those Phantasms traveled across the starry river to the Domain of the Falling Stars with great effort. Their goal was to open those six spatial rifts and lure us in.”

Astonished, Xuan Ke exclaimed, “You’re saying that this is all just a scheme of the outsiders?”

Nie Tian nodded slightly. “They made those arrangements to lure us into this dimension. So it’s only natural that they’d send their powerful experts to take our seniors out one by one after we entered.”

After a brief pause, Nie Tian’s expression grew grim, and he continued, “This is only the first step of their plan.”

“There’s more to it?” Ye Qin asked, looking rattled.

Frowning, Nie Tian said, “After this, they’ll probably go through those six spatial rifts to the Realm of Split Void, and from there, invade the Domain of the Falling Stars. I suppose, as we speak, the powerful experts of different outsider races are also rushing towards that huge vortex at full speed, hoping to go through it to the top continent. It means that our survivors are still in danger. Not all of them will make it back home.

“I’m not sure how many outsiders are now in this dimension, and how long it will take for the outsiders to find those spatial rifts on the top continent and descend upon the Realm of Split Void.

“But I’m sure that it won’t be very long before an army of outsiders marches into the Domain of the Falling Stars.

“The repercussions will be catastrophic.”

After hearing Nie Tian’s words, the chosen ones, who were drowning in grief, were then plunged into great fear.

They realized that the deaths of their Profound realm experts were not the end, but the start of a new catastrophe.
