At the bottom of the Broken Soul Cliff, Ding Ning's body cracked and he fell into a deep sleep, or rather, a coma.
Blood kept dripping along his cracked skin and seeped into the dark red soil.
The strange red wind whistled in the sky, making a horrible whimpering sound, making the already dim bottom of the cliff even darker.
Ding Ning, who was in a coma, did not notice that an illusory, almost transparent shadow quietly appeared on his body. If one looked carefully, they would find that it was Human Emperor.
Human Emperor's shadow looked at the sleeping Ding Ning with a complicated look, and his face showed a struggling expression.
In order not to let Hui Shiba take away the origin of the human world, he resolutely self-destructed, but left a remnant soul to control the Human Emperor's crown to escape to the Broken Soul Cliff.
It was because after returning to the human world, he found that there was a terrifying aura at the bottom of the Broken Soul Cliff that made him tremble, so he fled to this place with the thought that even if he died, he would not let Hui Shiba have an easy time.
But he did not expect that Ding Ning, who he did not dare to trust because of his relationship with Ming Di, not only killed the gray shadow that even he could not resist, but also had so many secrets in his body.
He was Human Emperor, the supreme emperor of the human world. Even ants wanted to live, let alone him. If he could live, he would not want to die.
There were too many secrets in Ding Ning. Although he did not see the whole picture, he saw the tip of the iceberg.
A powerful body comparable to an immortal body, a water space that could store living people, a Nine Turn Glazed Ice Coffin that could nourish the soul, a black and white Tai Chi diagram that could purify the energy of heaven and earth, a colorful flowing light, a sleeping Spider God, a mysterious silver hourglass …
Any one of these things made him excited. If Ding Ning was still in his heyday, even if he still had a clear mind, he would not have any extravagant hope with his remnant soul.
But now, it seemed that even God was helping him. Ding Ning's injuries were extremely severe. Not only was his physical body severely injured and cracked, but even his consciousness had fallen into a dormant state. If he wanted to, he could easily possess Ding Ning's body and become the new Renhuang.
If you don't take what the heavens give you, you will be punished. If you don't look out for yourself, the heavens will destroy you.
Ren Huang was also a decisive person. Although he inevitably felt a little guilty in his heart, in the face of life and death, that trace of guilt was tossed beyond the highest heavens. Without hesitation, he leaped into his sea of consciousness.
Unfortunately, he did not know that An Ze of Origin Path had been tortured to death when he tried to possess Ding Ning, let alone a mere remnant soul like him.
As soon as he entered the sea of consciousness, the black and white Tai Chi diagram immediately discovered his strange energy body and rotated it gently and lazily.
To be honest, the remnant soul of the Human Emperor was so weak that it couldn't even fill the gap between its teeth. If Ding Ning's consciousness hadn't fallen into silence, and it was a dedicated old ox, it wouldn't have bothered to deal with this remnant soul.
As a result, the poor remnant soul of the Human Emperor met a tragedy. It was directly obliterated and completely vanished, turning into a drop of soul liquid that became nourishment for Ding Ning.
No matter how small a mosquito's leg was, it was still a piece of meat. For Ding Ning at this moment, this little bit of soul fluid was no less than a good rain after a long drought. It made his spirit, which had completely fallen into silence, gain a little bit of consciousness.
Just like a thirsty desert traveler who drank a small mouthful of water, not only did it not quench his thirst, but it also made him desire to drink more water to quench his thirst. A strong desire that came from his instinct made his body suddenly emit a terrifying suction force.
At the bottom of the cliff, sand and pebbles were instantly swept toward Ding Ning under the terrifying suction. In the blink of an eye, he was buried underground.
But strangely, the gravel and soil that buried Ding Ning gradually disappeared and merged into his body, as if he was nothing.
It was like a bottomless pit, capable of devouring anything.
Ding Ning seemed to feel that these things were not to his taste. He frowned and unconsciously moved his mouth. An even more terrifying suction force was immediately emitted. Even the strange red wind in the air swarmed over and was swallowed by him like a whale swallowing water.
In front of the Broken Soul Cliff, many people were standing. They were Xiahou Weiyang, An Xi, and Long Yi. Dragon King was also leading dozens of soldiers of the military, frowning.
The violent battle waves had passed for several hours, but Ding Ning hadn't appeared. Their worries made them pluck up their courage to come to the Rain Prayer Platform again.
As a result, not only did they not encounter the terrifying enemy that they couldn't contend with, but Ding Ning also disappeared.
This made them very worried. They felt that Ding Ning had fallen off the cliff again, so they immediately organized people and even used helicopters to enter the Broken Soul Cliff to search for Ding Ning's trace. Unfortunately, the strange red wind was denser and more rampant than usual. The helicopters couldn't land at all, so they were at their wits' end.
As for the people of the Divine Hall, they didn't appear. Although they had been subdued by Ding Ning, it was not appropriate for them to show up in public after all. So, they were taken to the National Warrior's Mansion by Ye Qingxuan. Xiahou Weiyang and other insiders tacitly didn't mention that these experts of the Divine Hall had been subdued by Ding Ning.
"That strange red wind has disappeared. I'll go down and have a look."
Long Yi and An Xi suddenly noticed that the raging strange red wind had disappeared. Instantly, they became spirited and said at the same time.
"Let's wait a little longer. After all, this strange red wind may appear again at any time."
Although Xiahou Weiyang was worried about Ding Ning's safety, she still put forward a pertinent suggestion.
If these two women hadn't spoken at the same time, they might have insisted on going down. But at this moment, they couldn't help showing unusual concern for Ding Ning at the same time, which made them a little embarrassed. Their eyes flickered, but they didn't object.
Soon, an extremely terrifying suction came from the bottom of the cliff as if there was a sky-devouring monster under the cliff. Everyone was frightened and retreated in panic.
Although they were not pulled down the cliff by the suction because of the distance, they were horrified to find that the suction not only absorbed part of the spiritual power in their body, but also lost some of their vitality.
The most obvious feature was that the vegetation around the Rain Prayer Platform withered rapidly and became lifeless plants. Moreover, the withered area was spreading wildly with the Broken Soul Cliff as the center at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This discovery made their scalp tingle and their hair stand on end. They immediately decided to evacuate from this place, otherwise, they would be sucked dry sooner or later.
The complexion of An Xi and Long Yi became unsightly, but they also knew that staying here would only be throwing away their lives in vain. So, following Xiahou Weiyang and others, they arrived at the foot of Yan Mountain in disappointment and frustration.
The blockade line that had already been lifted was pulled up again, strictly forbidding anyone from entering or leaving. Moreover, drones were sent to closely observe the spread range of that devouring power. Once they discovered that devouring power had any sign of spreading out of the mountainous area, they would immediately take measures to prevent this terrifying monster from harming the densely populated area.
Although they requested the people who knew about the situation to keep it a secret, but there were too many military and police personnel who rushed over to help seal the mountain. There were too many people, so the news was leaked very quickly.
In less than an hour, the news of a mysterious monster appearing under the Broken Soul Cliff of Yan Mountain and devouring the vitality of all living beings replaced "Dragon and Phoenix War" and became the most searched news.
Although the higher-ups of the state, in order to avoid causing panic among the people, immediately adopted forceful measures to block the public opinion, but because the number of views was too large and there were too many people who reposted the news, it was basically impossible to completely block the news.
The internet exploded in an instant.
Some people believed it without a doubt. They listened to the idle keyboard warriors bragging and exaggerating without any bottom line, describing the terrifying monster as extremely terrifying.
Some people snorted, thinking that someone was deliberately creating rumors to attract attention. How could there be a monster in this world that could devour people's vitality?
Some people were dubious, but they treated it calmly and rationally, waiting for the official statement.
There were also people with ulterior motives who took the opportunity to fabricate facts and create all kinds of rumors. They even created a rumor that the end of the world was coming. It was impossible to distinguish the truth from the falsehood, so rumors spread everywhere and people panicked.
…
Seeing that the whole country was shocked, even the foreign media got the news and called their respective embassies in China to inquire about the truth.
The Chinese officials were having a headache and had to issue an official statement immediately, claiming that this might be some kind of natural phenomenon that had never been discovered before. The officials had already sent experts to investigate the scene and would soon come to a conclusion. They appealed to everyone not to believe the rumors, to deal with the public opinion storm rationally, and not to give an opportunity to those with ulterior motives.
At the same time, all provinces and cities held emergency meetings according to the Parliament's instructions, fully activating the three-level joint warning plan. They increased the supervision of public opinion on the internet, and severely punished those suspected of spreading rumors and spreading rumors in an attempt to create social unrest.
The whole country, the whole world, had their eyes on Yan Mountain, paying close attention to the next step of the situation.
While the officials were working hard to quell the public opinion storm, a secret missile base in the Yan Mountain mountain range was now in full swing, filled with the tense atmosphere of an impending war.
Fortunately, because of the terrifying powerhouses from the Temple, the missile base was already prepared, so it was much more convenient and fast to start again.
At the foot of Yan Mountain, the temporary command center was piled high with all kinds of rushed high-tech instruments, with countless professional staff bustling about nervously.
The electronic screen synchronized with the drone in real time clearly showed the whole affected area of Yan Mountain. The verdant plants were turning yellow and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even though the area of life was still being devoured, it was clearly slowing down, which made the higher-ups of the military, as well as the experts and professors, feel a little relieved.
The speed of life being devoured was too fast. In less than half an hour, the peak where the Rain Prayer Platform was located was already devoid of life, becoming a barren mountain.
But now, the speed of life loss was clearly slowing down. It seemed that no matter what the life-devouring monster was, it should have a limit.
Otherwise, if there was no limit, then the whole world would be destroyed.
But even so, they didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. Such a monster must be eliminated completely. Otherwise, who knew if the monster would leap out of Broken Soul Cliff and devour vitality everywhere. At that time, it would really be the end of the world.
"No matter what that thing is, I suggest that we immediately activate the missile launch program and completely eliminate it, to eliminate the hidden danger."
In the temporary command center, a square-faced military bigwig said in an extremely domineering manner.
Dragon King frowned slightly. Even though he knew his suggestion was very pertinent, he still hesitated when he thought of Ding Ning's uncertain life and death, and that he might very well be waiting for rescue at the bottom of Broken Soul Cliff.
Especially since this bigwig was the one in the limelight, apart from the number one bigwig of the military. He was also the biggest suspect behind that conspiracy.
