Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 425 Broken
The heavens and earth began to tremble.

It wasn't just the old man; everyone else felt it too.

The whole world is groaning in pain. The asphalt road beneath our feet undulates like ocean waves, while the skyscrapers in the distance tilt slowly like blocks toppled by a child.

The air was filled with the crisp sound of shattering glass, the very sound of the laws that held the dream together crumbling.

"He's tearing our world apart!" the muscular woman roared, her entire body transforming into liquid metal, gleaming like mercury in the moonlight.

She leaped up suddenly, her right arm twisting and deforming into a giant power hammer that smashed down on Shi Fei.

The convenience store clerk's hands flew, and countless throwing knives appeared from the void. Each blade was engraved with ancient runes, weaving together in the air to create a deadly metallic storm.

Where the blade sliced ​​through, even the space itself was torn apart with tiny black cracks.

The black-robed man's chanting grew louder and louder, and the giant eye on the blood moon opened completely, with viscous black liquid flowing from its pupil.

The liquid condensed in the air into countless twisted human figures, emitting a chilling shriek as it rushed towards Shi Fei.

The old man's body had begun to become semi-transparent, and he hysterically formed hand seals: "Stop him at all costs!" Golden chains shot out from his body, attempting to entangle Shi Fei's limbs.

Shi Fei didn't even glance at them; those were attacks from cowards. They were obsessed with the past, obsessed with illusions—what power could such attacks possibly have?

The attacks from those weaker individuals were far from enough to injure Shi Fei.

All attacks vanished silently within three meters of Shi Fei. The giant metal hammer turned into molten iron and rained down, the storm of flying knives dissolved like snowflakes, and the black humanoid figure turned to ashes amidst screams.

Shi Fei focused on what he needed to do.

"Click——"

Another resounding clang echoed through the heavens and earth. The second barrier of the Dream City collapsed with a deafening roar, scattering countless shimmering fragments like rain.

The old man's body had become so transparent that he could see the scene behind him. He desperately reached out his hand, but could only watch his fingertips gradually disappear.

The other guardians were in equally dire straits. The muscular woman's metallic body began to rust and peel away, and the convenience store clerk's throwing knives turned to dust one after another.

The one in the black robe suffered the most; the backlash from the Blood Moon Giant Eye caused him to bleed from all seven orifices, and his entire body was covered in cracks like a broken porcelain doll.

Shi Fei remained standing with his eyes closed, oblivious to the chaos around him. His consciousness was completely immersed in the process of breaking down the final barrier, and the energy fluctuations emanating from his body caused the entire city to begin to distort and deform.

The streets curved like melting wax, blurring the outlines of buildings. In the distance, the bodies of ordinary citizens began to appear and disappear.

They are about to "wake up".

Among these people was Lao Liu.

Old Liu was taken to a designated driver and returned downstairs drunk. He had drunk a lot and couldn't help but vomit in the bushes of the community downstairs.

He hadn't drunk this much in a long time. He already had very little free time, and even less time for drinking.

Damn it, when did that bastard Shi Fei become such a good drinker?!
After vomiting, he felt nauseous, but also much better and less dizzy.

He staggered upstairs and fumbled for his keys to open the door.

After opening the door, he saw that the house was pitch black. After turning on the light, he quickly washed up and prepared to go inside to sleep.

He discovered the bedroom door was locked! He knew this was his wife's silent protest, but he didn't think much of it and simply went to sleep in the child's room next door. The child, of course, slept with his mother.

Old Liu was used to this after drinking.

He was just about to fall asleep when he suddenly felt dizzy. He thought the alcohol was kicking in again and didn't pay attention. But then he noticed that the child's desk was shaking.

wrong!

It's an earthquake!

He rushed to the bedroom and patted the door, shouting, "Wake up! Get up! There's an earthquake!"

As he spoke, he could feel the entire building shaking, and he couldn't help but kick the door open!

"Earthquake! Run!"
After the door opened, his wife, who had just fallen asleep, was suddenly woken up. Hearing Lao Liu's words, she flew into a rage: "Where was the earthquake! It was clearly you, you drunkard..."

She didn't speak, because she saw their wedding photo frame fall to the ground with a "thud".

Old Liu rushed forward and scooped the sleeping child into his arms, then pulled her out the door. She hurriedly slipped on her slippers; the corridor lights flickered on and off, and the walls twisted and warped like melted wax.

The three of them stumbled and staggered toward the stairwell. Every step felt like walking on cotton; the whole building was tilting, and the stair railings twisted like snakes.

Fortunately, they managed to get down the stairs.

"I'll go get the car!" Old Liu handed the child to his wife.

"You've been drinking!" his wife shouted, taking the child from him.

As we all know, you shouldn't drink and drive, and you shouldn't drink and drive.

"What the hell is this time of year? Are there still traffic police around?" Old Liu hurriedly started the car: "Get in."

His wife thought about it and realized that made sense. "It's an earthquake, who cares about this!"
The engine roared, and the tires screeched against the pavement. Old Liu jerked the steering wheel, and the car shot out of the residential area like an arrow.

However, the sight before him almost froze his blood!
The entire city is collapsing.

Skyscrapers seemed to be kneaded by an invisible hand, their glass curtain walls shattering into countless pieces, yet remaining suspended in mid-air like frozen rain. Roads undulated like ocean waves, streetlights fell one after another, only to dissipate into bubbles the instant they touched the ground.

The most bizarre thing is that a skyscraper in the distance is dancing!
That's right, dancing! It bends its steel and concrete body, swaying from side to side like a drunkard, while the billboards on the rooftop are still playing television programs that have long been canceled.

"What the hell is this?!" Old Liu slammed on the brakes, nearly crashing into a fallen sycamore tree. The tree trunk dispersed like smoke the instant it touched the front of the car.

The wife, pale-faced, clung tightly to the child in the passenger seat: "Are we... dreaming?"

Old Liu didn't answer. His temples throbbed; he had long since sobered up, but the scene before him was even more absurd than a hallucination he had experienced while drunk.

He jerked the steering wheel, and the car swerved and twisted through the winding streets. A shopping mall collapsed behind them with a crash, but before hitting the ground, it transformed into countless colorful balloons, drifting and rising into the sky.

"Where are you going?!" my wife screamed.

Old Liu had no idea. The navigation system had long since failed, and the roads on the map wriggled and shifted like earthworms. He could only rush forward by instinct, until the ground suddenly cracked open!

A huge pothole appeared in front of the car without warning, and Lao Liu had no time to brake. The car plunged into darkness, and the feeling of weightlessness gripped his heart instantly.

His wife's screams and his child's terrified cries exploded in his ears. Old Liu gripped the steering wheel in vain, countless shattered images flashing before his eyes!
