Crack...
One of the wonderful effects of the Bright Light Barrier was to keep away any loud sound that could harm the user: after all, there were some sound skills able to confuse the mind or stun like the skill High Frequency Sound that priests obtained to stun the enemy and buy time to get away from danger. However, the Bright Light Barrier seemed to be a clever barrier as the really important sounds were still transmitted clearly from the outside to the inside.
In the middle of the purple world formed by countless lightning bolts that had joined together to create a purple pillar of destructive power several kilometers in diameter, the sound of something cracking could soon be heard by everyone. This sound was extremely small, but in the midst of the terrifying and suffocating silence, that small sound became extremely clear for all to hear.
"Looks like that guy's barrier can't take much more." Xie Feng frowned tightly as he looked in the direction of Eternal Wind City.
That small cracking sound was extremely faint from where the group was currently at since the distance was only a few kilometers away. But in reality, that sound was loud and clear enough that those nearby could hear it even amidst the constant crackling that was different and characteristic of lightning.
In short, if they heard it, it was only natural that Yang Tian and Emperor Xuan Liuxian also heard it; especially Yang Tian, who was the person who had activated the skill.
"And now what do we do? If Yang Tian can't hold the barrier upright firmly, the entire Eternal Wind City will be blown to the ground. Even the Human Emperor will probably die on the spot." Mu Wuying pointed out the seriousness of the matter.
Xie Feng frowned even more. He looked at King Hu Yi and asked, "The teleportation array of Eternal Wind City was used to transport the citizens towards Eminentis City before the arrival of the Abyssal Dragon, wasn't it?"
"That is correct. The teleportation array of Eternal Wind City cannot be used until a month later when the necessary energy accumulates again." King Hu Yi nodded.
"Then, the emperor probably won't be able to leave unless he has a treasure or skill that allows him to teleport several kilometers away." Xie Feng pointed out.
However, it didn't matter how dire the consequences would be if Yang Tian couldn't maintain the barrier; none of them had the power to prevent something like that from happening. As the sound of the brown barrier cracking spread throughout the battlefield, the only thing everyone could do was to wait for the arrival of death obediently.
Xie Feng knew that he could survive if he activated the Frozen End Overlord Armor. However, even that didn't make much sense since it was impossible for him to travel a distance of several kilometers in the sixty-second duration of the skill. Of course, if he had his Green Flame skill things would be different, but for the next 24 hours such a thing was impossible.
Besides, even if Xie Feng could survive, all of his beloved ones would die and be forced to revive as well as lose level and equipment, the city would fall, the King of the North and the Human Emperor would die forever... The consequences were too enormous and disastrous to bear.
Screech~
Suddenly, a strange bird cry resounded amidst the purple lightning. Everyone's gaze unconsciously turned in the direction where the sound came from but due to the huge, thick curtain of lightning all they could see was a purple world.
However, there was something they all understood... Trouble might not be over.
"How is this possible...?" King Hu Yi muttered. His face was pale white with no trace of blood and his eyes were filled with helplessness and disbelief as his body slightly shuddered.
The girls' bodies also shook gently and Xie Feng's face became extremely ugly at the horrendous pressure that seemed to want to crush his shoulders; his whole body seemed to be about to be forced to his knees at such horrible, almost unbearable pressure.
Xie Feng had briefly faced Lucifer in the Beginner's Village, he had also had a small clash with the East Sea Emperor when he went deep into the ocean; both of them were God grade bosses. He had even battled 1 vs 1 against a Heaven grade boss and had come out victorious. However, in none of the three previous cases had he felt a pressure as great and hopeless as that of a bottomless abyss.
In fact, Xue Feng had only felt this kind of pressure four times in his entire life; two of them were in the virtual world and two of them were in the real world.
The first time he felt it was when he met the Light Saint Dragon. The second time was when he fought the God of Human Sacrifice Buluc Chabtan. The third time was the faint subtle aura that escaped from Han Xue Nai's body unconsciously and obviously that was not the girl's intention. The fourth and last time... It was a few minutes ago.
Abyssal Dragon... This meant that that bird cry undoubtedly belonged to a boss with the power to destroy mankind.
Saint grade boss!
"How could this be possible? Why would another Holy boss appear here?" Shen Xinya couldn't help but feel incredulous. "Shouldn't such creatures never leave their territories?"
The only reason mankind could rule this world was because the true overlords, the Saint grade bosses, allowed them to. Saint grade bosses were not interested in world domination or controlling large continents; all they sought was peace and quiet in deep forests and desolate mountains.
However, in less than an hour, two Saint grade bosses left their territories!
"Bird's cry... Saint grade... Don't tell me!" King Hu Yi's eyes filled with horror and exclaimed, "Ranked number 1 among the Saint grade creatures, Infinite Lightning Phoenix!"
