The moment the girl appeared, Yi Yun immediately looked over. He wanted to know who she was.
However, Yi Yun did not recognize her at all. She was dressed in an aqua-green dress and she had fair skin. Her facial features were like a figure that had walked out of a painting. Her every move was like the clouds that blotted out the moon or the flowing wind. She was truly a peerless woman.
However, the silver-haired girl's expression was not calm. It destroyed the ethereal feeling that she had when she was a fairy from the nine heavens that had descended to the mortal world.
"Chu He, come here!"
Just as the silver-haired girl finished speaking —
"Boom!"
With a loud boom, the land quaked violently. The mountains in the distance began to crumble amidst the quakes. In the black swamp, a gigantic black mud wave stirred up as lava surged up into the sky and seeped into it, burning the black mud. Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Black miasma spewed out of the swamp and filled the surroundings.
"Apocalyptic Fumes!? This situation only happens once every three hundred years. Only a hundred years have passed! "
The silver-haired girl's expression changed. The Azure Wood Great World was on the brink of destruction and danger lurked everywhere. Even though she was the successor of the Azure Wood Manor, she was helpless against the destructive might of the world. All she could do was try her best to avoid these natural hazards.
The Azure Wood Manor separatists had observed the speed at which the Azure Wood Great World was collapsing and the disasters that occurred in various places. They had concluded a few patterns, and through these patterns, the silver-haired girl could move freely in the Azure Wood Great World. However, there were always accidents, such as the present situation.
"It's an array formation … Those outsiders have destroyed the Azure Wood Manor's protective array."
The silver-haired girl sighed. When the Azure Wood Manor began its decline and the Azure Wood Great World was on the brink of destruction, the separatists of the Azure Wood Manor that guarded the Azure Wood Great World began to set up the ancient array. But now, against these outsiders, how could the ancient array that had experienced tens of millions of years of hardships withstand it?
However, even if they could predict such a situation, what could they do? When the array formation began to collapse on a large scale, no place in the Azure Wood Great World would be safe. Perhaps only the divine tree in the middle of the Azure Wood Great World could continue existing after the world collapsed …
The silver-haired girl did not know where she would go when the Azure Wood Great World really collapsed.
"Senior Sister, I …"
Chu He's face was full of guilt and grievance. She knew how terrifying the Apocalyptic Fumes were, but she hadn't expected them to erupt at this time. If she hadn't run out, the silver-haired girl wouldn't have come looking for her. Even if the Apocalyptic Fumes erupted, they would still be safe in the Garden of the Divine Tree.
"Let's try walking out. Who can predict what will happen?" the silver-haired girl said, shaking her head.
At this moment, Yi Yun was also enveloped by the Apocalyptic Fumes.
This is miasma!?
Yi Yun was alarmed. In just a few seconds, the entire sky had turned hazy. This was no ordinary miasma, for it was able to block out perception. His perception could not penetrate it at all.
Yi Yun conjured his protective Yuan Qi to isolate himself from the miasma. But what happened next made Yi Yun's heart skip a beat. His protective Yuan Qi was rapidly being corroded by the miasma. The miasma contained a lethal poison. Even with his foundation, it was extremely difficult for him to maintain his protective Yuan Qi.
Yi Yun hesitated for a moment before he randomly threw a tiny sword into the miasma. However, the tiny sword lost a great deal of its spirituality as it was enveloped by the miasma. Soon, it was corroded to the point of losing its luster.
Impressive!
Yi Yun was alarmed. He could not imagine how the miasma in the swamp could be so potent.
Once his Yuan Qi was expended, the outcome would be unimaginable.
"The miasma in the air is even thicker. I'll land on the ground first before leaving this place as soon as possible."
With a thought, Yi Yun landed on the ground.
Yi Yun saw the silver-haired girl not far away. The silver-haired girl was also looking at Yi Yun. They were about ten steps away from each other. Their figures were obscured by the Apocalyptic Fumes, making it difficult to see them clearly.
The silver-haired girl also conjured a blurry protective Yuan Qi. Her expression was extremely solemn.
"Is this miasma?"
Yi Yun asked the silver-haired girl. In the swamp, when Fey beasts and Fey trees died, their corpses would rot in the mud, forming a toxic corpse gas. That was the miasma.
Typically, the stronger the Fey beast that died, the more potent the miasma. It was not surprising for it to poison Dao Palace realm warriors to death.
However, the miasma was inanimate after all. As long as one was careful not to breathe it in, one would be fine. Yi Yun had never heard of a swamp with such a potent miasma. It was so overwhelming that it even blotted out the sun.
The silver-haired girl hesitated for a moment before answering, "It's not miasma. Miasma is just the corpse gas of Fey beasts and Fey trees after they die. As for the black mist in front of us, we call it the Apocalyptic Fumes. It's the corpse gas of a world's death and decay. It's incomparable."
"What? The aura of a world's decay? "
Yi Yun was truly alarmed. He could ignore the gases produced by the decay of animals and plants, but he never expected that a world could produce an aura from its decay. The aura produced by the decay of a Great World was unimaginable. It was no wonder it was so overwhelming.
"How big is the Apocalyptic Fumes?"
"I do not know. Perhaps thousands of miles, tens of thousands of miles, or even hundreds of thousands of miles. The Azure Wood Great World is already on the brink of collapse. The aura of the world's decay is suppressed deep within the Great World. It's practically endless, so I do not know how much has leaked out."
As the silver-haired girl spoke, she gave Yi Yun a sympathetic glance. She knew that Yi Yun was doomed if he stayed behind.
Ignoring a half-step Dao Manifestation realm warrior like Yi Yun, even a warrior at the seventh or eighth-floor Dao Palace would likely be reduced to bones in the Apocalyptic Fumes, dying a tragic death.
This was the might of the Heavens and Earth. It was not something that could be walked out of just because one had great talent.
The silver-haired girl could not bear to see it. From the youth's reaction when he wanted to save Chu He, he was not an evil person. Furthermore, he was extremely intelligent. It was rare and commendable that he could see through Chu He's trap at the half-step Dao Manifestation realm. Unfortunately, it was likely that he would die.
The silver-haired girl said, "Come with us. There might be a chance to last a little longer."
Yi Yun hesitated for a moment before he walked over.
The aura of a world's decay had truly broadened his horizons. Felicitous Rain Lord had previously warned him that the Azure Wood Great World was extremely dangerous. He had asked Yi Yun to consider it carefully before coming, but Yi Yun had still come. He did not want to let go of this only opportunity.
But from the looks of it, even Felicitous Rain Lord had probably underestimated the dangers of the Azure Wood Great World.
Who could tell what would happen in a world that was on the brink of collapse?
"Can you tell me who you are?"
