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

Time passed second by second.

With each passing second, the demigods' injuries worsened.

With each passing minute, new cracks appear in someone's territory.

Various negative conditions kept piling up on them.

Burning, Weakness, Suppression, Silence. The list of debuffs on the panel is so long it seems endless.

Everyone knows we can't win this battle.

But nobody stopped.

It's not because there's still hope, but because we can't stop, because... the moment we stop will be the moment of total annihilation.

The consequences of the complete annihilation were—the secret realm spilled out, bringing disaster to Earth.

Therefore, they have no choice but to fight.

Fight to your last breath, fight until your very soul is burned to ashes by the flames here!

……

The Pacific Ocean, over a certain sea area.

The ghost sedan chair pierced the night sky and finally came to a stop on a churning sea.

Gu Xu lifted the sedan curtain and looked down.

Then he saw the seven-colored high-dimensional secret realm floating above the sea, and the circular entrance to the secret realm at its center.

"Is this the entrance to that higher-dimensional realm?"

"Why does it look like a rainbow candy?"

For a moment, Gu Xu couldn't help but offer his evaluation.

Of course, these are all secondary, or rather, they are not attractive enough.

Because the most eye-catching part is...

At this moment, golden light continuously seeped outwards from the edge of the entrance to the secret realm.

The rays of light fell into the seawater, stirring up large plumes of white steam, and the sea surface within hundreds of meters around was violently churning.

It looked like something was boiling the entire sea underwater.

At the center of the crack... was a bottomless golden-red light curtain.

The color and temperature of that light screen made one's face feel hot, even from such a distance.

Gu Xu squinted and examined it for two seconds, his brows furrowing slightly.

Something was definitely wrong.

Although he had never been to this secret realm before, he knew exactly what it looked like.

The Realm of Silver Moon is the best example.

The energy fluctuations at the entrance are restrained and stable, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

But the energy at this entrance was gushing outwards, which was exactly the same as the red and white clash he had dealt with before!

"Chief of Staff Zhang is right... this secret realm is indeed about to collapse."

Gu Xu muttered something to himself, then glanced further into the distance. There were still some fragmented objects floating on the sea around the entrance.

It shines brightly, like a seven-colored gemstone.

Unfortunately, although the item is beautiful, anyone of any profession could sense that the energy within the gem is extremely volatile, giving the impression that it might explode at any moment.

"I don't know what's going on with Old Man Wang... Could he have already sent it?"

Seeing this, Gu Xu couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

Of course, despite his nonchalant tone, he was still a little worried inside.

Although Wang Cang is the strongest demigod in the public eye in Shenxia, ​​the danger level of the high-dimensional secret realm cannot be measured by level alone.

Moreover, the energy level of the secret realm is still rising rapidly, indicating that some kind of dramatic change is taking place inside.

This dramatic change is definitely not a good thing for the people inside.

We can't dawdle any longer.

"Walk."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xu leaped off the ghost sedan chair and plunged directly into the crack.

The moment the body passed through the golden-red light curtain—

"Whoa—!"

A wave of ridiculously hot heat hit his face without warning.

The temperature was so high it made your scalp tingle.

It was as if someone had stuffed him into a steel furnace that was running at full speed.

The heat permeating the air was not ordinary high temperature, but a scorching heat with a sense of oppressive energy.

"Holy crap... what the hell is this place?"

Gu Xu cursed and looked around.

As far as the eye can see, there is an endless golden-red wasteland, the earth is cracked, and the rocks on the surface are dark red from being baked by high temperatures for a long time.

Golden particles of light floated everywhere in the air, like tiny sparks drifting in the wind.

Countless ribbons of shimmering light hung crookedly in the sky.

Although it looks chaotic, it gives people a feeling of extraordinary grandeur and magnificence.

"Is this temperature for real? The entire secret realm is like a steamer."

Although Gu Xu kept complaining, the Domain of Calamity had already automatically activated. The black domain enveloped his body, isolating him from the scorching heat, and his body temperature instantly returned to normal.

"That feels so good!"

For a moment, Gu Xu couldn't help but tremble.

With that one shake, he discovered a crimson sphere suspended in the far distance of the sky.

The sphere was so large that it occupied a third of the field of vision.

Golden waves of flame surged continuously on the surface, each surge releasing a scorching shockwave to the surrounding area.

"What is that thing...Ignatius's forbidden spell?"

Upon seeing this, Gu Xu's eyes narrowed.

Although the distance was great, he could sense that the energy level emanating from that sphere was... very high.

It is far superior to Ignatius's forbidden spell.

However, before he could figure it out...

The next second, the earth began to shake violently, followed by the sound of thousands upon thousands of footsteps.

Gu Xu looked in the direction from which the sound came from.

Then he saw a golden torrent rushing toward him at an incredible speed.

"The Blazing Sun's Legacy?"

Gu Xu's gaze swept over the surging monsters, and his mental energy automatically read their attribute panels.

The data on the panel is fairly standard.

Level 100 is not a threat to him.

But what concerned him was something else entirely.

At the very top of each Blazing Sun Guardian's panel, a golden label is flashing.

【The March of the Loyalists (Activated)】—Source: Emperor Blazing Sun God Lord.

"Um?"

Gu Xu raised an eyebrow.

He had never seen this term before.

But the phrase "active status" reveals a problem.

This isn't always active; it's activated only after being triggered by certain conditions.

What conditions would activate the term "The March of the Loyalists"?

The answer is simple—someone is attacking their master.

"The entry for 'Lord of the Blazing Sun' has been activated."

Gu Xu's lips twitched slightly as he muttered to himself, "Could it be that Old Man Wang has already started a feud with the BOSS?"

With that thought in mind, Gu Xu stopped thinking about it.

"Buzz—!"

At that very moment, a visible golden light wave spread out from the direction of the crimson sphere.

The light wave was extremely fast, arriving at Gu Xu's location almost the same second after he discovered it.

Scorching sun and storm.

A golden wave of flames, carrying energy powerful enough to burn through a demigod's domain, swept over everything.

but--

"laugh."

A soft sound.

The blazing solar storm, which was enough to keep demigods from struggling, melted away the moment it touched the edge of the Calamity Domain, like a piece of ice falling into the sun.

No, the opposite.

It's like the sun has fallen into an abyss.

The golden wave of flames crashed into the gray-black barrier of the domain, without explosion or collision.
