Chapter 1405 - Dark Shadow of the Crimson Crack (1/2)

The Blue Pole Star was situated to the far east of the God Realm. As a result, it was even closer to the Wall of Primal Chaos than the God Realm itself.

As a result, it had also seen that red star much earlier.

It had experienced those strange outbreaks of chaos and turmoil much earlier as well.

The first profound beast rampage started in the east of the Blue Wind Nation and it started spreading west after that. The speed at which it spread was very slow and at firstit had only affected the lowest level of profound beasts.

However, after this situation continued for more than two years, it suddenly and completely erupted… on that day.

Within the Profound Sky Continent, the Illusory Demon Realm, and the Azure Cloud Continent that had long been engulfed by calamity, all of the profound beasts, from the lowest to the mightiest, even the hidden profound beasts which might only appear once every thousand years, all of them went into a complete and utter frenzy.

However, the Profound Sky Continent and the Illusory Demon Realm were undoubtedly fortunate that other than Feng Xue’er, Yun Che had directly produced eleven divine way profound practitioners using the Divine Water of Life. This was more than enough to quell any profound beast rampages in this world. What was even more important than all that was the existence of Yun Che himself. His light profound energy could swiftly quell the rage of the frenzied profound beasts, silently resolving any and all rampages.

However...

Even with the existence of Yun Che, from that day forward, everyone could clearly sense that… the world had already changed.

Even though the profound beast rampages that affected the entire continent were suppressed by Yun Che just as they sprang into existence, the malicious energy and earth-shaking bestial roars still cast a terrifying dark shadow over the entire continent.

It was also from that day forward that a strange wind suddenly started to blow in the Profound Sky Continent, the Illusory Demon Realm, and even the distant Azure Cloud Continent. At times, the wind would be gentle and easy, and at other times, it would be violent and frenzied. At times, it would be icy-cold, and at other times, it would be scorching hot. The wind blew in a chaotic direction that defied all logic and common sense. In one moment, it would be blowing toward the south-east, but in the very next breath, it would suddenly start blowing toward the north-west...

During the second day, a violent storm suddenly descended on the Profound Sky Continent and over the span of just a few short hours, the land was submerged under three feet of water… However, on the very next day, the earth suddenly became incomparably hot and the land, land that had still been flooded from the rain that had poured down the day before, suddenly began to wither and crack in an astonishing manner, as if the flames were going to spew out from the cracks in the ground.

On the fourth day, great waves that soared towards the heavens raged in the Profound Sky Northern Sea and the Illusory Demon Western Sea as countless sea creatures rushed toward the continent that they had never entered before. Furthermore, they were doing this while seized by an extremely frenzied aura...

“Big Brother Yun, a profound beast rampage occured in Divine Phoenix City. I just checked it out and it is very likely yet another outbreak that will engulf the entire territory!”

Yun Che’s brows tightly knit together upon receiving Feng Xue’er’s sound transmission.

In the past, whenever he purified an area that had been beset by the profound beast rampages, the dense light profound energy would ensure that a profound beast rampage would not occur for at least another three months.

But at this moment, only a short fifteen days had passed since he last cleansed the entire territory of a profound beast rampage that had suddenly erupted.

He did not immediately take action. Instead, he lifted his head to stare at the eastern skies.

For the past few days, the color of the sky had been constantly fluctuating. At times it was azure blue, at times it was gloomily dark, at times it was a withered yellow, at times it was rosy red, and at times bolts of lightning would flash across it with no warning at all… The only thing that did not change was the red star that hung in the eastern skies.

No matter whether the sky was cloudy or clear, no matter whether it was overcast and rainy or if violent storms filled the sky, it still shone in the heavens, releasing a red light that was growing more and more terrifying.

Could it be that it was truly going to “erupt”?

What exactly was it? And why was it happening so fast… Didn’t they say that even if it was about to erupt it would only happen several hundred years later, or perhaps in an even more distant future?

“Daddy, did something bad happen again?” Yun Wuxin drew near to him as she asked in a worried voice. During the last few days, every single person and living being in this world could clearly see the changes that had been happening to it.

All of it had been oh so sudden and astonishing.

Yun Che turned sideways as a small and relaxed small appeared on his face, “Mn, a profound beast riot occurred again.”

“...That’s really strange,” Yun Wuxin said as she looked at the sky. “What exactly has been happening over the past few days? Master said that the weather had changed but I feel that it’s not quite the same. Furthermore, I’ve been feeling this strange sense of unease recently and Mom has also felt the same way. Even those adorable snow beasts in the Snow Region of Extreme Ice have started to act very strangely.”

Yun Che stretched out a hand to lightly pat her back before consoling her with a smile, “The weather really isn’t quite right. However, there’s no need to worry. Why don’t you remember how powerful your daddy and master are, there’s nothing that your master and I can’t solve… I’ll go and resolve this profound beast rampage first and I’ll return very quickly, there’s no need to worry.”

“Mn,” Yun Wuxin nodded her head, but the worry in her eyes still remained.

Even though she was only thirteen years old, her profound strength had already entered the divine way thanks to the Divine Water of Life. As a result, her spiritual senses had also undergone a tremendous change… So how could that strange feeling of unease have manifested due to a mere change in the weather?

As he cut through space, Yun Che arrived in the air above Divine Phoenix Nation. This place was just like the Illusory Demon Realm; the entire surrounding area had become markedly different from before.

The entire vast Divine Phoenix City was filled with an aura of unease and this was especially true of the fire elementals that hovered in the air. These fire elementals were usually exceptionally dense but right now they had become exceptionally frenzied and clusters of flame would erupt in the air every now and then.

All around this area, the roars of profound beasts shook the world… and these roars were clearly accompanied by the sounds of a faraway volcano erupting.

“Master, what's going on?” He Ling’s puzzled and worried voice rang out from within the Sky Poison Pearl.

Yun Che surveyed his surroundings before saying in a low voice, “The balance between the elements… has been destroyed.”

“Ah? How… how could that be? What did it get destroyed by?”

“I don’t know,” Yun Che answered, and that was the most terrifying thing.

Not knowing the reason for the collapse of the elemental balance was far more terrifying than the actual collapse itself.

“Perhaps, the likeliest reason is that crack in the easternmost part of the Primal Chaos.” Yun Che stared at that red star before immediately withdrawing his gaze.

If everything was truly happening because of the crimson crack, what sort of aura was it actually releasing that could even affect such a distant star region?

It was already so dreadful before it had erupted. Then if it ever fully erupted one day… what sort of terrible calamity would it bring about?
