Boom! Boom! Boom!

Terrible explosions rang out, resounding throughout the entire Void City, which was now enveloped by a huge plume of black smoke. Everything was shaking violently; rubble rolled across the ground, while broken buildings collapsed and turned into ruins.

Void City’s base was an inverted conical star. At this moment, however, the surface of this star was filled with pits. It was as if it had been eaten by worms, which left behind countless holes. It was a creepy sight, but that was not all. Shadows were flashing in those pits…

It was that time again when the dark cuisine was distributed in District D. Countless exiles crazily gathered in front of the wall of District C. Large wooden carts drove out of the doors, then men standing atop these carts scooped the grayish-black food and threw it at the exiles.

The exiles looked like pigs being fed, but they were already numb. After being trapped in District D for so many years, they had long lost their souls.

Suddenly, while they were eating, the ground of District D burst apart. The powerful tremor startled the experts on the wooden carts, and many of them turned to look at the explosion.

A huge circular crater appeared on the ground in District D, and countless dark figures were rising from it. Some of them were humanoid, while others looked like savage beasts. Regardless of their appearance, they were all surrounded by the terrifying power of sin.

“Who goes there?!” bellowed the experts on the wooden carts. They were not only responsible for feeding, but also for keeping order. A squad of black-armored soldiers hurried over and surrounded the strangers.

Outside Void City, the black-robed man who held the Hourglass of Time and Space smirked. Holding the hourglass, he took a step forward. A humming sound rang out, and he disappeared in a flash. When he reappeared, he was slowly rising from the huge crater in District D.

A terrifying, suffocating aura spread in an instant, stunning the black-armored soldiers.

“Hmm… As Soul said, District D truly is a treasure,” said the black-robed man lightly as he hovered in midair. His voice was very gentle, peaceful, unlike the dreadful power of sin around him, and his aura took away the courage of those black-armored guards to resist.

“Duke… A duke-level expert…” The pupils of a black-armored guard constricted. He did not expect this.

An invader! Someone had invaded Void City?! The black-armored guards who were awed by the aura and froze in place suddenly roared at the top of their lungs. They were, after all, the people of Void City. One of them turned and fled crazily, while the others charged to stop the man in front of them.

For a moment, the clanging sound of the soldier’s armor and the power of curse erupting from them almost caused the River of Curses to explode. However, the black-robed man with the Hourglass of Time and Space only smiled faintly. He raised his hand and pointed out a finger.

At the gesture, the terrible power of sin poured out from behind him and wrapped up every soldier. The air was filled with a sizzling sound as the power corroded the soldiers’ bodies. The men wailed and howled, and soon they turned into souls.

Behind the black-robed man, the eyes of some Numbered Soul Demons and common Soul Overlords turned scarlet. The next moment, they rushed forward frantically and devoured the souls. Holding the hourglass and wearing a gentle expression, the man glanced at the exiles of District D who appeared to be at a loss.

“Your freedom now belongs to me,” he said.

No sooner had his voice rang out than the power of sin behind him poured forth. A mass of dark smoke spread, turned into countless tiny black snakes, and rushed toward the exiles. Before long, the exiles’ eyes turned scarlet as the power of sin surrounded them.

At this moment, the gates of District C opened with a crash, and a Chaotic Saint with Chaotic Energy swirling around him rushed out of them. He was a district guardian. Although he was not a marquis or a duke, he was at least a Chaotic Saint.

“How dare you!” bellowed the guardian. Then, he was stunned, for he found that he was facing tens of thousands of District D experts who seemed to have gone crazy.

“What’s going on?” He felt a shock of cold. He wanted to retreat to District C, but at some point, a black-robed man with an hourglass in hand appeared in his retreating path.

The black-robed man just waved a hand at him, and he was immediately pushed back by a great force and thrown into the crowd. A miserable howl rang out as the experts of District D crazily swooped down at him.

…

Whether it was District C, District B, or District A, the ground of every district was bursting apart.

In District C, Countess Xia Qiu focused her eyes. Her black dragon threw his head back and roared as she stood on his back with a heroic air. Countess Aitang appeared on her divine phoenix, her face grave, while Countess Luming stopped at the forefront of the district, riding a seven-colored deer.

Shadows rose from the crater, and the power of sin spread through District C in an instant. Compared with District D, the defense of District C was much stronger. The nobles and the guards of counts had formed a line of defense to fight these invading Soul Demons.

The three counts exchanged glances and saw the unease in each other’s eyes. Although there were conflicts between them, they had to put those aside to face a common enemy. Countess Xia Qiu was the strongest, but even she felt lost at this moment.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the crater trembled violently as if a great army was about to charge out of it.

“What’s that?!” Countess Xia Qiu was startled.

The next moment, human heads emerged from the crater, then one figure after another climbed out crazily, all clad in ragged clothes and emitting a foul odor. The counts were no stranger to these men. They were the exiles of District D! How did the people of District D come to District C?

“This is not good!”

The population of District D was too large. If all those people rushed into District C, it would be a disaster!

“Attack!” At this moment, Countess Xia Qiu was forced to order the killings of the District D experts who had lost their minds.
