Chapter 94: Blue Light
Chapter 94: Blue Light
Rumble rumble!
It was like a stampede of ten thousand horses!
The Demon Beast army poured out from the Spatial Rift!
The earth shook. Countless people who had just been woken by the alarm, still grumbling, now turned pale with fright!
At the same time, the alarm blared even more urgently.
Anyone with common sense knew this meant the Beast Tide had arrived!
Even youngsters who had never personally experienced a Beast Tide were terrified and panicked by this scene.
All major TV stations switched to a single broadcast, urging people to take shelter in their city’s underground defenses.
Screams, angry shouts, panicked cries… instantly filled the air.
The Spring City Guard Army acted at once, guiding the terrified, fleeing masses into the underground fortifications, trying to affect everyone with their calmness and composure.
But it was too hard!
Everyone was panicked.
At the old estate in Spring City, a group of long-time neighbors also came out, dragging their families toward the underground entrances.
Ling Yi stood at the courtyard gate. The old man from before saw him and shouted loudly, “Run, hurry!”
Ling Yi waved at the old man. “Take it easy! Don’t fall! Don’t crowd the busy spots! It’ll be fine soon!”
The old man didn’t believe him and ran off swiftly.
The ground trembled even more violently, like aftershocks from an earthquake.
The heavy sound resonated in everyone’s heart.
No one had time to think of anything else; their minds were filled only with how to reach a safe place as fast as possible.
Every underground entrance was a packed crowd.
Even though the City Guard Army had prepared in advance, it was hard to manage every spot in such a short time.
Frenzied curses, desperate pushing and trampling, hopeless wails…
They all merged together!
Even before the Beast Tide arrived, it seemed the city would be destroyed by the chaos of its own people.
Just then, a light suddenly shot up from within the city!
The light was white and dazzling, like a sharp sword piercing the dark sky!
Then…
Within that light, a dark silhouette soared upward!
It rose against the light!
The entire panicked city, as if by magic, miraculously quieted down at that moment.
The City Guard soldiers, equally awestruck, quickly restored order and finally stopped the chaos.
Inside the September Group office building, two women from the Moon Gazing Sect stared at the light in utter shock, hardly believing their eyes.
They were different from the common folk. In their eyes, the meaning this light represented was too astonishing!
“What Divine Ability is this?”
“This is not a Divine Ability someone at Dao Enlightenment can perform!”
They looked at each other, unable to believe that Spring City hid a master of this level.
Qin Jiuyue stood beside the two women, looking at the light. For some reason, she thought of Ling Yi.
Could it be him?
Probably not… He was excellent and mysterious enough, but such a huge commotion… how could it be him?
Ling Yi felt clearer than ever before.
His mind was completely clear!
Even though he wasn’t in control of his body, he didn’t feel controlled at all!
The power seemed innate!
Every movement felt like his own doing.
This feeling of immense, unparalleled power made him feel like he held the whole world in his grasp.
In the courtyard of the old estate, Hu Xiaoxian looked up, mesmerized, gazing at the tall figure within the light. Her Dao Enlightenment state of mind, solid for years, was almost instantly opened.
I love it! I love it!
So handsome!
This is a true powerhouse!
The tide of Demon Beasts stopped about ten miles away from Spring City.
All the Demon Beasts fixed their green, glowing eyes on the sword-like light piercing the sky in the city.
To be precise, they were looking at the person within the light!
The next moment, all the Demon Beasts roared in unison.
The sound rolled forward, their killing intent Soaring Heaven.
As if a charge had been sounded, all the Demon Beasts madly rushed toward Spring City.
A sapphire blue, dazzling light burst forth from Ling Yi’s body.
It was like a blue sun in the night sky!
After bursting out, the Blue Light flowed and shifted like aurora, breathtakingly beautiful!
Then, the Blue Light directly shone toward the area in front of the Demon Beast horde outside the city.
It bathed the land outside the city in an eerie blue glow.
Like a blue barrier!
Utterly mysterious!
The Demon Beasts at the forefront directly crashed into the blue light screen, passing through without any obstruction—
But as they ran, their fur spontaneously caught fire.
Soon, they were burned until only skeletons remained, along with the faintly glowing Crystal Cores in their heads.
Carried by momentum, they kept running for dozens or even hundreds of meters before finally collapsing and scattering on the ground.
The Beast Tide charged like countless soldiers and horses. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Demon Beasts died under the illumination of the Blue Light!
But for the vast Demon Beast army, this was nothing. Those behind still roared and fearlessly rushed forward.
At the same time, from the giant crack in the sky, an endless stream of Demon Beasts squeezed through.
It seemed limitless.
Spring City’s defense system was now activated.
A great number of thermal weapons blasted toward the Demon Beast horde.
Clouds of energy shaped like mushrooms spread out.
Unfortunately, the effect wasn’t good.
A powerful Dao-Entry Grade Demon Beast released a large-scale defensive barrier. Although the heat weapons blasted some unlucky ones into bloody pulp or even blew them to pieces, many more… continued charging toward Spring City under the barrier’s protection.
The beasts were too close to the city. Stronger weapons couldn’t be used. Against a horde of terrifying Dao-Entry Grade Demon Beasts, heat weapons meant almost nothing now.
Ling Yi stood high in the sky. Blue Light continuously radiated from his body.
Within the area illuminated by the Blue Light, the bones of Demon Beasts quickly piled up like a mountain!
It was as if that had become a forbidden zone!
Any Demon Beast that entered was certain to die!
The Enchantress in his mind stayed silent. Ling Yi didn’t ask how long this state could last.
She said earlier she could protect this city. That should mean it was fine.
Over ten minutes later.
A furious roar suddenly came from the Demon Beast army.
The beasts constantly rushing into the Blue Light area to meet their deaths abruptly stopped their charge.
Then, two figures flew out from the Beast Tide.
One of them was an enormous crimson bat, its wings spread over a hundred meters wide!
Under the hazy Blue Light night sky, it blotted out sky and sun, giving people a tremendous pressure.
The crimson bat let out a series of low-frequency shrieks. Invisible soundwave attacks, sharp as swords, shot toward Ling Yi like a volley of arrows, blanketing the sky.
The other figure was a giant serpent over a hundred meters long!
Under the Blue Light, it wriggled and flew through the air, giving people an extremely eerie feeling.
As the giant serpent neared Ling Yi, it suddenly spewed a blast of flame from its mouth!
“Scram!”
An utterly cold wave of Divine Sense radiated from Ling Yi’s body.
The soundwave attacks from the crimson bat were instantly flung back, all striking its own body.
Gouts of bloody light exploded instantly!
After a sharp shriek, the crimson bat’s body exploded in the sky with a bang—
Gore and flesh flew everywhere!
A Peak Dao-Entry Demon Beast died a miserable death on the spot.
Next, the flame spewed by the giant serpent, as if setting a large swath of sky ablaze, was also about to reach Ling Yi.
Ling Yi reached out his hand. A ghostly blue flame appeared in his palm, looking like a tiny candle flame compared to the giant serpent’s blast.
His gaze was cold and stern. He threw the blue flame directly at the fireball the giant serpent spat out—
Boom!
As it was thrown, the blue flame swelled frantically!
It transformed into a blue dragon over a thousand meters long!
It opened its bloody maw and swallowed the sky’s flames along with the giant serpent… in one gulp!
The next moment, the flame that had turned into the blue dragon directly scattered into countless sparkles, dissipating into the air.
The scene was too dreamlike, too magnificent. Countless people who witnessed it would be unable to forget it for the rest of their lives.
“Is this a Divine Ability?” Ling Yi murmured to himself.
This feeling of holding the sun and moon, plucking the stars… it was too intoxicating.
This was a brand new realm that Ling Yi, having suffered hardship in his youth and known life’s difficulties, who always sought a stable life, had never explored in the past, couldn’t even imagine.
Before this, all his efforts and struggles were just to slay his enemies with his own hands and protect the safety of those around him.
Now he suddenly discovered, there was still so much wonder in this world.
Ling Yi stood in the void, quietly watching the now-dead silent Demon Beast army, watching the distant rift on the horizon from which Demon Beasts continued to surge out endlessly.
The next moment, he moved.
He passed over the countless armies of Demon Beasts outside Spring City and strode toward the horizon!
Passing the mountain of Demon Beast bones, he casually waved his hand. Countless Demon Beast Cores below instantly flew high into the sky.
They gathered around his body, swirling and flying up and down around him.
Then, Ling Yi felt a powerful Cultivation Method begin to operate within his body.
In an instant, all the Demon Beast Cores exploded!
Yes, exploded!
Vast amounts of energy instantly flooded into Ling Yi’s body.
Ling Yi wasn’t even sure how his mere Golden Body could withstand such a torrent of immense energy.
Boom!
Another massive expanse of Blue Light suddenly erupted from his body.
Its radiance was a thousand times brighter than before!
The Demon Beast army below immediately erupted into frantic agitation.
Because that Blue Light was like the rising sun every day, shining upon each and every Demon Beast below!
Instant burning, immediate skeletons…
Second-tier Demon Beasts, Third-tier Demon Beasts, Fourth-tier Demon Beasts, Fifth-tier…
Even Dao-Entry level Demon Beasts couldn’t withstand this Blue Light.
This was the true might of a Divine Ability!
There were no fancy moves, no crazy clawing or stomping.
Only sunlight shining universally.
Just like a father’s love.
Simple and unadorned.
Yet its power was soul-shaking!
Touch it and you die, get hit and you perish.
Some Demon Beasts on the fringes were directly scared out of their wits, fleeing in a panicked, straggly mess toward the forests around Spring City like lost dogs.
By now, all the City Guard Army on the ground, civilians who hadn’t yet hidden underground, and Qin Jiuyue and her two senior sisters still in the office building… everyone was stunned by the live footage broadcast on the city’s tall-screen billboards.
The terrifying Beast Tide, powerful enough to turn a city into a hell on earth… just like that… was broken?
The eyes of the two disciples from the Moon Gazing Sect held nothing but terror and shock.
Offering opinions?
They dared not.
Providing commentary?
They were not worthy!
This was an attack method they couldn’t understand at all but vaguely grasped the nature of!
Even if their master came, even the Sect Master of the Moon Gazing Sect came, they would likely only have awe to offer.
So—
“Star Gate.”
One of the female disciples gazed mesmerized at the blue light and murmured softly.
High above the city.
Those involved were equally stunned.
Looking down at the piled-up mountains of bones, they were completely speechless.
Fourth or fifth-tier Demon Beasts, which usually gave them a headache if they encountered even just one, now seemed as fragile and insignificant as ants!
Right now… they weren’t even on the same level as ants.
At least you had to move your foot to crush an ant, right?
At least you had to use a hose to pour water into an anthill, right?
But here, none of that was needed.
All you had to do was shine and burn.
Even the Demon Beast Cores flew up on their own!
They turned into endless energy that surged into his body, but he had no idea where it ended up.
Maybe the Enchantress took it as she always did, or maybe it was consumed.
It definitely wasn’t staying inside his body—otherwise, he would have exploded countless times already.
He even felt a pang of regret that all those Demon Beasts were burned to death by the blue light.
How many rare Demon Beasts that were seldom seen otherwise were among them? How much Demonic blood could have been refined!
And the valuable bones, tendons, fur, and hides…
Sigh!
What a waste!
The densely-packed army of Demon Beasts gathered here was almost completely incinerated by the blue light in less than twenty minutes!
Ling Yi’s eyes finally fixed on the rift in the skyline.
Then he continued walking toward it.
Just then, the Spatial Rift that had appeared out of nowhere actually started… slowly closing!
This scene left people even more astonished.
They had only seen rifts open before, only seen rifts that stayed open once they appeared… but they had never seen a Spatial Rift close on its own!
What the… Was it scared?
As they watched, that rift spanning the horizon, like a giant wound, was about to seal shut completely.
In Ling Yi’s hand, a flash of blue lightning suddenly appeared—impossibly long and flickering brightly.
He raised his arm and thrust it fiercely toward the Spatial Rift in the distance.
Just as the rift was closing, the blue lightning stabbed directly into it…
Then, Ling Yi gave his wrist a sharp twist.
Crack!
Boom!
The rift, which hadn’t managed to close fully, completely shattered!
Bang!
A deafening roar erupted from that spot!
The sound was unlike anything ever heard before.
No one had ever heard thunder louder than this.
Following that tremendous noise, the massive rift in the sky began to slowly… collapse!
What would it look like if the sky fell?
No one had seen it.
But in that moment, to everyone watching, this scene was no different from the sky falling.
It was like an apocalyptic sight.
One that would remain unforgettable for a lifetime.
Then, that blue figure took a step into the void and slowly moved away.
Vanishing into the night at the edge of the sky.
