Chapter 832 Collapse
Tong Yunshu indeed doubled back.
She stayed with Yang Fei in the Hidden Sect World, helping him continuously repair the formations.
Every day, the formation that maintained the stability of the Hidden Sect Plane would be overwhelmed by the collapse pressure of the Hidden Sect Plane, showing various damages.
Yang Fei and Tong Yunshu rushed around, desperately trying to patch up the formations, hoping to keep this plane going for a few more days, so more spiritual energy could be transferred into the Cloud Mist Mountain Array, minimizing the damage when the Hidden Sect World collapses.
In this way, they held on for a full seven days.
Even with Tong Yunshu's help, and despite the dual cultivation they squeezed in to recover their power, the prolonged draining of True Yuan caused by repairing the formation still left Yang Fei utterly exhausted, his internal power only maintaining about fifty percent.
In the last two days, he even found it incredibly difficult to inscribe runes on the jade tokens.
This afternoon, Tong Yunshu suddenly changed her expression dramatically, saying to Yang Fei, "We have to leave. I... I feel this world is about to completely collapse."
Yang Fei also had a premonition, and he had absolute trust in Tong Yunshu's extraordinary perception.
"We've held on for so long, I believe everything that needed preparation outside is ready, let's go." Yang Fei said decisively.
Tong Yunshu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She was genuinely worried that Yang Fei would continue to hold his ground.
But she could clearly feel a cataclysmic disaster approaching.
Such destructive power made her and Yang Fei seem as small as ants, with no means to resist despite being powerful cultivators.
She was human and still young, naturally having a fear of death.
Of course, if Yang Fei insisted on staying, even knowing it meant death, she would willingly stay with him.
But it would have no meaning.
She felt that even in death, they should die more gloriously, at least in the war resisting the invasion from Heaven and the Penglai Realm.
The two decisively jumped into the Extreme Abyss, leaving the Hidden Sect Plane.
Coming out, they immediately sensed the terrifying energy fluctuation, as an apocalyptic crisis swept in.
"Not good, run!"
Yang Fei grabbed Tong Yunshu's hand and sprinted with all his might into the distance.
He could feel the Hidden Sect Plane was collapsing.
Originally, when he and Tong Yunshu were inside, they sensed the impending collapse, and as they left, the formation without their support naturally accelerated the demise of the plane.
Thankfully, outside the Meishan Mountain passage, due to increasingly unstable space energy waves, all stationed personnel had already received Qin Yanyang's order to evacuate three days prior.
Not only Meishan's skies, almost everyone in the entire Imperial City had been evacuated.
The higher-ups prepared for the worst.
The whole city was deserted, and even the surrounding cities had a massive population transfer.
The authorities had made all preparations in advance.
Even if the entire city were destroyed, the loss would only be material.
On the Divine Continent, people come first; as long as people remain, there's no fear of any challenge.
The fierce winds, mixed with some spiritual energy, sliced through the skies over Meishan Mountain like blades, sweeping near the teleportation passage.
A terrifying energy seemed ready to roar out at any moment, apocalyptic in nature.
Yang Fei, with Tong Yunshu, frantically fled from above Meishan Mountain, yet their severe depletion over the days meant their True Qi was below fifty percent of their peak state, and their escape speed was greatly reduced.
Three hundred meters... five hundred meters... one thousand meters.
After several leaps, the direct distance above Meishan was over a thousand meters, but the sense of crisis in both Yang Fei and Tong Yunshu's hearts remained.
This indicated they hadn't left the danger zone.
Considering their cultivation and tough physical resilience, both could still feel the threat of death, underscoring the terrifying impact the Hidden Sect Plane's collapse had on the outside world.
Pop, pop, pop!!!
Like gas jets exploding, streams carrying spiritual power burst from the two-world passage mouth, producing horrible blast sounds.
Each sound made Yang Fei and Tong Yunshu's hearts tremble.
They needed to be faster.
Hand in hand, though their condition wasn't as good as when Yang Fei held hands with Qin Yanyang, it still proved more effective than being alone.
Very soon, they were more than three thousand meters from Meishan Mountain. My Virtual Library Empire (M|V|L0EMPYR) hosts the original.
At this moment, the crisis in their hearts reached a tipping point.
Buzz!
A buzzing sound rippled from afar, causing their ears to go deaf, their minds buzzing, as if the world had exploded.
Yang Fei was horrified, and as he landed, he activated his strongest True Qi in his legs, pulling Tong Yunshu like a cannonball forward again.
Above Meishan Mountain.
There was no dazzling light flashing above the sky, only an invisible and terrifying shockwave uncontrollably erupted from the teleportation channel.
The unstoppable force instantly destroyed all vegetation around Meishan.
Dust billowed, and enormous ancient trees were swept into the air, shredded by the terrifying power.
The mountain fractured, layers peeled away, stone layers lifted by the whirlwind and pulverized in the air.
Visible to the naked eye, in less than ten seconds, the entire Meishan was decapitated, cut down by more than thirty meters.
Yet the dreadful shockwave continued to frantically expand and spread.
Destruction also spread.
The sky roared, space trembled, the earth shivered.
A disaster akin to a top-level nuclear explosion befell the ancient city in an instant.
Around Meishan, the steel-reinforced concrete human habitats nearby, like paper, were shattered by the continuous shockwaves.
The shockwave spread at an astounding speed, quickly catching up with the fleeing Yang Fei and Tong Yunshu.
As that irresistible force swept from behind, Yang Fei and Tong Yunshu felt deep despair.
Before the shockwave hit, Yang Fei pulled Tong Yunshu into a hug, covering her with his body to shield her from most of the shockwave's power.
"Puff!"
A mouthful of thick blood spewed out.
Their bodies abruptly accelerated, like a kite in a torn typhoon.
The clothes on Yang Fei's back were torn open with a ripping sound, and the spirit-filled energy within the shockwave cut into his body, leaving streaks of blood marks.
Fortunately, with his newly established Foundation, his body with copper skin and iron bones, had amazing defenses, only skin was cut, with no damage to his muscles or bones.
As Yang Fei shielded Tong Yunshu in his embrace, tears rolled down her face.
In the midst of life and death terror, this man protected her at all costs, how could she not be moved?
Some of the blood he spewed landed on her face, plunging her heart into the depths, she trembled, "Yang Fei, how are you?"
"Heh, I won't die!"
Yang Fei grinned slightly, blood filling his mouth, large beads of sweat rolling on his forehead, his internal organs battered by the shockwave, already sustaining injuries.
