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

As soon as Gu Xu finished speaking, his figure shot down from the ridge like a black arrow, heading towards the capital city below, which was scorched by golden light.

As soon as he made that move, the deputy legion commanders behind him, who had been holding back for so long, followed him like dumplings being dropped into a pot, all yelling and shouting.

"Brothers! Charge!"

Li Tiezhu took the lead, his voice so loud it could shake the clouds in the sky: "Follow the Legion Commander! Take over the Emerald Palace!"

He roared as he activated his domain, his entire being resembling a runaway, heavily armored rhinoceros, kicking up a trail of dust.

"Brothers, maintain formation, don't charge too fast!"

Su Qiong extinguished her cigarette and followed suit, her Asura Domain also surging forth from her body.

Lin Yuan and Bai Ye also started to move.

Seeing that the legion commander and deputy legion commander had made a move, the soldiers of the entire Calamity Army naturally followed suit without saying a word.

It suddenly transformed into a torrent, charging towards the Elf capital with a deafening roar.

Of course, the reason why Gu Xu rushed forward so quickly and took the lead in this interdimensional war for the first time was not because he was really in a hurry to steal kills from the high priest named Elonnis.

Mainly, it was based on information obtained from that elder of the Cuiye Sect.

These long-eared guys, who had been cornered, buried a big guy under the city wall.

It is called, "The Branch of Death and Hatred of the Goddess of Nature".

Just from the name, you can tell he's no pushover.

Furthermore, according to the description, once activated, this thing can instantly turn a vast area into a death forest and launch an indiscriminate attack.

Whether you're friend or foe, once you go in, you'll be sucked dry.

Clearly, the Elven race is preparing to make a drastic sacrifice, using the lives of some unfortunate individuals to delay the entire Divine Shah Legion's advance, in order to provide a buffer time for the False God Legion's reinforcements.

For this reason, Gu Xu believed it was safer for him to handle such a wide-ranging weapon himself.

Otherwise, if the deputy legion commander and his brothers from the Calamity Army were to rush in headfirst, they would likely suffer considerable losses.

Sure enough, halfway through Gu Xu's journey, a sudden change occurred!

"Boom—!"

With a series of loud bangs, the earth began to tremble violently.

This tremor was not an ordinary earthquake at all; it was more like a terrifying tremor as if the entire Earth's crust was being frantically drilled by an electric drill.

Caught off guard, the soldiers at the forefront stumbled and fell to the side.

Several of them fell face-first into the mud.

Even the seemingly indestructible emerald green walls of the Emerald Palace emitted a series of teeth-grinding "crackling" sounds during the violent tremors.

Countless cracks began to spread wildly, and then large chunks of the wall collapsed with a roar!

On the city wall, the elven soldiers who were already struggling under the blazing sun were instantly buried alive in the ruins, screaming like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

However, this is just the beginning.

The next moment, the ground beneath Gu Xu's feet suddenly changed color.

The once fertile land instantly lost all its vitality, turning into a charred black wasteland.

Immediately afterwards—

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

They danced wildly in the air, each swing accompanied by a sharp, piercing sound, carrying with it a potent poisonous aura and a depletion of magical energy.

Just smelling it from afar makes one dizzy.

Judging from its appearance, it was exactly the same as Gu Xu's attack pattern after he activated his divine transformation mode.

In just a few breaths, a vast and boundless sea of ​​willow branches, exuding an aura of endless death and resentment, was completely formed, cutting off the Calamity Army's charge route in half!

"Holy crap! This thing actually exists!"

Li Tiezhu, who was following behind Gu Xu, almost popped his eyes out. He had charged the hardest and was now the closest to the sea of ​​willow branches.

It was that suffocating aura of death that hit him, making the hairs on his body stand on end.

If I had been just a couple more steps faster, I'd probably be skewered like a candied hawthorn by now.

The soldiers of the Calamity Army behind them stopped in their tracks, their faces pale as they looked at the hellish scene before them.

They are not afraid to fight the enemy in real combat.

But these ghostly things that emerged from underground, the kind that could make you lose sanity just by looking at them, still sent a chill down their spines.

"Damn, these bastards are really cunning."

Gu Xu couldn't help but grin as he looked at the menacing black willow grove before him.

If he hadn't known the news beforehand, half of the tens of thousands of people he brought today would probably have perished here.

"Trying to buy time with this thing? Dream on!"

The next moment, Gu Xu snorted softly, his steps not stopping at all, and at the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.

"The Realm of Calamity!"

boom--!

Centered on him, an endless darkness, seemingly from the very beginning of the universe, burst forth with a deafening roar!

The thick black fog filled the sky like an overturned giant bowl, or a black ocean at high tide, with an unstoppable force.

It spread wildly in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the newly formed sea of ​​willow branches, which was still dancing wildly and showing off its power, was completely swallowed up and shrouded by this deep black mist!

Then, a bizarre scene unfolded.

The moment the black mist covered the sea of ​​willow branches, those black willow branches that were originally so violent and ferocious, as if they were about to devour everything, suddenly became like a movie scene that had been paused.

All the movements came to an abrupt halt in an instant.

They remained frozen in mid-air, maintaining various menacing postures, motionless, like mosquitoes sealed in amber.

At this moment, the whole world fell into a deathly silence.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Xu rubbed his right thumb and middle finger together: "Crush."

One word.

A divine judgment.

The moment the words fell, the black mist within the Domain of Calamity trembled violently.

Immediately following were those "Branches of Death and Hatred of the Goddess of Nature," frozen in mid-air, as hard as iron.

It's like a sand sculpture that has been weathered for millions of years.

Starting from the very top branch, it silently turns into black powder.

There was no explosion, no loud noise.

There was only silence, utter annihilation.

The feeling was as if someone were holding an eraser and gently wiping away this terrifying, deathly willow forest from the canvas called "the world."

It all happened in just three seconds.

As the black mist slowly dissipated, the terrifying willow forest that had terrified tens of thousands of Calamity Army warriors came to light.

It has vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed at all.

Only that barren, scorched earth remained, proving that what had just happened was not an illusion.
