The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

The moment the black mist of the Calamity Domain came into contact with that dark red ripple.

The giant worm high in the sky moved.

To be precise, it exploded.

All the tiny suckers on its body contracted wildly at the same time, like an earthworm that had been scalded with boiling water.

"Hiss!!!!"

Immediately afterwards, a hiss erupted from that enormous, unreasonable body.

This screech was on a completely different level from the previous one.

The previous sound was at most a yawn, but this one is a real scream.

That sound is something no living being on Earth could produce—it doesn't go through the ears, it goes through the bones.

Sound waves are like an invisible iron awl, piercing directly from the eardrum into the brain and then exiting through the back of the head.

All the glass within a radius of thousands of miles shattered at the same instant.

The soldiers in the temporary base who had just been overjoyed because Gu Xu had slapped Yamamoto Furukawa.

One by one, they covered their ears and squatted down, their faces ashen.

Further afield, earthquake monitoring stations around the world almost simultaneously reported abnormal readings.

It wasn't a seismic wave, but the waveform was so bizarre that the researcher on duty spilled his coffee on the keyboard.

This cry resounded throughout the world in a literal sense.

Su Qiong's expression changed at that moment.

She is a quasi-saint, and her strength at the peak of the eighth rank is among the best in the entire Divine Xia.

But that one scream sent a jolt through her scalp, making her feel like she was being electrocuted, all the way down to her forehead.

It's not fear.

Her body was instinctively warning her—this is not something you can touch.

Jiang Shu, who was standing next to her, was in an even worse situation.

She plopped down on the ground, the tablet slamming onto her knees with a loud thud. She covered her ears tightly with both hands, her face turning pale.

"Oh My God……"

Jiang Shu managed to squeeze out two words, her voice trembling, "Can this thing kill someone with just one cry?"

Su Qiong did not answer her.

Her gaze was fixed on the enormous, still-twisting phantom high in the sky, her mind racing.

At that moment, she finally understood something.

Why did the Sakura Kingdom abandon its conquest of Izumo: The Mysterious Realm?

Instead, they simply blocked and suppressed this thing.

The core reason is...

This is something they simply cannot solve.

The Cherry Blossom Kingdom lost two saints in the process of creating this secret realm.

Two people!

In the world of professionals, the value of a saint is almost equivalent to that of a nation's strategic weapon.

The deaths of two saints are enough to cripple any faction.

Then they sealed it off.

It's not that I don't want to clear it, it's that I can't.

Su Qiong's breathing became somewhat heavy.

She suddenly thought of the "Red and White Collision" in Beichuan City.

That riot in the Ghost Realm was terrifying enough.

The Ghost Mother's Bridal Sedan Chair, the Nine Nether Ghost Village, and the entire Beichuan area were almost wiped out.

But compared to this, that one was like comparing the loudness of a firecracker to that of a nuclear bomb.

If the evil spirits of the Red and White Encounters in Beichuan had not been eliminated in time, they would have been allowed to slowly incubate, accumulate, and grow stronger in the secret realm.

The final result will probably be like this.

A demigod-level projection hangs in the sky; a single shout from it can turn a person's brain into mush.

This level of threat would be just as troublesome in Sherlock Holmes.

Without deploying Night's Watch-level forces, it would be impossible to resolve this.

However, there are only a few Night Watchmen, each of whom guards a crucial forbidden zone and cannot be easily transferred.

So who will solve this?

Su Qiong subconsciously looked at the figure in front of her.

Gu Xu stood in the center of the Calamity Domain, facing the incessantly hissing giant worm high in the sky. His expression was neither tense nor as relaxed as when he slapped Yamamoto Furukawa earlier.

He was serious.

This made Su Qiong's heart skip a beat.

Because Gu Xu is rarely serious.

Since switching jobs, everything Qian has done has carried a sense of casualness that makes people's blood pressure soar.

Taking down four demigods was like cleaning, crushing the Kyoto Great Barrier was like swatting flies, and fanning Yamamoto Furukawa was more like coaxing a child.

When did he get proper?

Now let's get serious.

What does this mean?

This shows that this worm is indeed something special.

Gu Xu took a deep breath.

Then, he took a step forward.

Just one step.

But the moment that step was taken, the entire Domain of Calamity seemed to have been accelerated.

The black mist, which had been slowly spreading, stopped expanding at this moment and began to contract, converge, and solidify in one direction.

up.

All the power of calamity was concentrated on one point at this moment.

They aimed at that big worm.

If crushing the Kyoto Great Barrier was an example of "unfolding"—opening up an umbrella and covering it with its area—then this was a different story.

This time it's "piercing"—fold up the umbrella, twist it into a steel shovel, and stab it directly.

The pitch-black power of calamity transformed into a calamity blade that shot into the sky.

It crashed straight into the worm's phantom.

The instant of contact.

The worm hissed again.

But this time, the neighing was completely different from before.

Previously, it was a threat, a warning, a beast baring its teeth at an invading adversary.

This time it was a scream.

The rules of the Calamity Realm were overwritten, clashing head-on with the laws governing the existence of this worm.

In Gu Xu's perception, the collision process was actually very simple.

The insects tried to resist the rules, but the rules of the Calamity Domain simply crushed them.

It's like a tank running over a cardboard box; the cardboard box did resist—it held out for about 0.01 seconds.

But Gu Xu noticed a detail.

This resistance, lasting only a fraction of a second, does exist.

Although insignificant, it does exist.

When they suppressed the ghost mother's sedan chair in Beichuan City before, it didn't even take 0.01 seconds.

That was a true instantaneous crushing victory; it was so fast that he didn't even realize it was over.

This time, he sensed it.

The insects are resisting.

Although it resisted as brittle as paper, it was indeed resisting.

But that's all.

The status of the realm of calamity is there.

The rules and authority of the Old Ones are there.

A nascent embryo, not yet fully hatched, wants to resist a conceptual-level overwriting of rules?

dream.

boom--!!!

The final outcome was swift and decisive.

With a deafening roar like a nuclear explosion, the enormous phantom suspended high in the sky exploded like a crushed egg under the crushing power of the calamity.

It was shattered completely.

It wasn't broken up or cut up; it was erased from the level of existence.

The dark red pieces of flesh didn't even have time to fall before they turned to dust within the rules of the Calamity Domain.

Not even ashes remained.

However, the red shockwave generated by the explosion did not disappear.

It spread out in all directions at an illogical speed, crossing mountains and oceans, like a giant red ripple spreading across the entire earth.
