The Charm of Soul Pets - Chapter 1684

“Si la!!!!!!!!”

A crack suddenly appeared from the southern end of the plains. Like a savage beast, it hurtled towards Northern Territory City.

The city’s walls were split by the crack. It passed through the city’s streets and defenses. From above, it looked like the city had been chopped into two.

Within the crack was a bottomless chasm. A panic arose the instant the city was split into two.

The terrifying crack not only appeared in Northern Territory City; it also appeared in the large cities across the human territory.

Large groups of black-winged creatures flew out from the chasm. Their eyes were a dark yellow color and the instant they saw a living human, these eyes would color with greed.

The city was chaos. The city guards not only had to defend the boundaries of the city, but also had to deploy more forces towards the crack.

The roars of soul pets and cries of demon devils could be heard everywhere. Nothing could be seen in the darkness, and it was these moments that were the scariest. When humans couldn’t acclimatize to the situation, their imaginations wouldn’t run wild. And when these terrifying faces suddenly appeared in the darkness, their fear would know no bounds.

There were comparatively more average citizens in the city. It was very likely that these average citizens would immediately lose their lives to an attack of a slightly stronger monster.

New Moon Palace’s people were already working their hardest to eliminate these monsters. However, they didn’t only have to deal with the countless Heaven Demon Devils pouring in, but also the hand of death tearing apart the ground and space.

……

A black light flew across the chaotic city and landed in the city lord’s residence.

Chu Tianmang jumped off of Zhan Ye’s back. He immediately saw the restless and worried Liu Binglan.

When Liu Binglan saw him, a faint expression of happiness appeared on her face.

Chu Tianmang felt a wave of gratification. He walked up to her and said “Don’t be afraid. Nothing will happen.”

“Why does it feel like this space is going to collapse?” asked Liu Binglan.

“It’s not this space. It’s the entire world. Zhengming Continent, Wupan Content, the eastern side’s flower territory, Eternal Ocean, the western side’s demon territory, Ghost Land, Beast Ridge Territory. These are all going to collapse,” said Chu Tianmang.

Liu Binglan watched him, mouth agape. She wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say.

The whole world was going to collapse??

What on earth did this mean?

It wasn’t only Liu Binglan. Almost everyone didn’t understand what the collapse of the world meant.

To them, the world was too large. In fact, there were some people that didn’t even leave their own cities through the course of their life. When talking to these people about the world, these matters ostensibly had nothing to do with them.

Even if the advent of destruction was upon them and they had nowhere to run, these people would only think that the place they lived would no longer exist and then believe that there would be some other place that was safe.

When all living creatures encountered danger, they would subconsciously leave the space that fell into disaster.

However, the collapse of the world meant that when you tried to flee the disaster and leave it far behind you, another disaster, even more terrifying than the first, would be upon you. These situations of sudden despair after escaping the first disaster would appear at every corner of the world. This wouldn’t only occur to you, but also everyone you knew, everyone who you’d only met a few times, and even strangers. Whether it was before or after you, they would all meet the same despair and death.

All living creatures would from henceforth cease to exist. There would be no more power, wealth, prestige, love, friendship, kinship, bravery, cowardness, greed…

Everything would be useless in a disaster!

……

When he saw Liu Binglan’s lost expression, Chu Tianmang began to regret telling her the cruel truth.

“Don’t worry, nothing will happen to you,” Chu Tianmang hugged her shoulder.

“Then what about them…” Liu Binglan’s eyes were somewhat blank as she looked at the city that was filled with fear.

Chu Tianmang remained silent.

The collapse of the world meant that only undying rank experts would be able to survive. Chu Tianmang himself couldn’t be sure if he would be able to protect Liu Binglan.

The collapsed space would be filled with windstorms that could easily rip a living person to shreds. These windstorms were so strong that they could instantly kill an immortal rank creature. Any slight carelessness could lead the person being protected to be ripped to shreds.

When he thought of Liu Binglan disappearing in front of his eyes, Chu Tianmang’s lips turned pale.

He hadn’t truly stepped into the undying rank. How would he be able to protect her…

“What about Chu Mu… what about Chu Mu?” suddenly, Liu Binglan remembered something.

Chu Tianmang looked up and stared at the pitch-black sun.

“He’s there.” Chu Tianmang pointed.

Liu Binglan looked up absentmindedly at the faint flicker of light from the sun.

“What is he doing there? Why isn’t big brother returning to us?” Ning Maner walked over and looked confused at Chu Tianmang and Liu Binglan.

Everyone could feel that the strange crisis had arrived.

New Moon Land had experienced many calamities of many sizes. And each time it had safely survived.

However, all of a sudden, someone was know telling you that the world was going to collapse. That everything was going to perish. Besides despair, there was also disbelief and suspicion.

Was the world really going to collapse?

Was it just a fantasy?

But as the sky grew heavier and heavier, the air began to fill with dust and the earth started crumbling and cracking, it felt as if it was all real.

At the end of the day, everyone relied on Chu Mu. If a calamity that they were powerless before appeared, they were used to Chu Mu appearing.

Because Chu Mu would resolve the calamity every time for them.

Liu Binglan was like this, Ning Maner was like this, and Ye Qingzi was even more like this.

When Chu Tianmang told them that the world was going to collapse, their first reaction after panic was, where was Chu Mu?

If everything was going to disappear, why wouldn’t Chu Mu accompany them? Could there be something else in Chu Mu’s heart that was more important than them?

The silence lasted for a long time. Nobody spoke in the hall.

The outside was filled with clamors and howls. The Heaven Demon Devils seemed to have invaded the city center. The outcome for these people was to become food for the Heaven Demon Devils or be swallowed by a black hole.

“He’s definitely doing something for us…” a while later, Chu Tianmang spoke and broke the terrifying silence.

If Chu Mu was still fighting when everything was about to collapse, that meant he was fighting for them.

Chu Tianmang didn’t know exactly what creature Chu Mu was fighting under the sun. But he was certain that it was a demonic creature that threatened the existence of the world.

It could be the creature behind the destruction of the Heaven Boundary Monuments; it could be the highest commander of the Heaven Demon Devils; or it could be some great enemy that was stopping him from returning.

He was definitely doing something.

He would never abandon these fights or flee from them.

Weren’t all his soul pets currently around the city protecting them?

If the world was rapidly collapsing and he hadn’t appeared in front of them, the only reason was because he was giving his all to save them!

It must be like this. They all understood Chu Mu.

Chu Mu wasn’t a man of many words. He often used his actions to express his words. And every time it was like this!

If Chu Mu was giving it his all to save them, then what were they doing just waiting around?

Regardless if the world collapsed or not, the Heaven Demon Devils would still be rampaging through.

They all knew that Chu Mu’s heart wasn’t big enough to aspire towards protecting everyone. If he wanted to save this collapsing world, he was doing it for the people standing in the hall right now.

What they had to do was get rid of these disgusting creatures flying around his home before he came back all tired.

Chu Tianmang initially came back with the intention of just waiting here with them for the world to collapse.

However, when he saw Chu Mu still fighting on the sun, he knew what he needed to do was not only protect them, but also get rid of these human eating Heaven Demon Devils!

He hadn’t stepped into the undying rank and he was unable to affect the Heaven Palace fight. However, he was more than enough to get rid of these Heaven Demon Devils!

“I’ll put up a spatial protection for you guys. The spatial protection can withstand a certain amount of spatial fissures. I’m going to get rid of those Heaven Demon Devils from that large fissure first…” said Chu Tianmang.

However, before Chu Tianmang finished speaking, Liu Binglan said: “Let’s go together. We’re also soul pet trainers.”

Whether it was Liu Binglan, Ye Qingzi or Ning Maner, they all had fighting strength that far surpassed ordinary people. They had taken the same path as Chu Mu. Their power had gradually approached the peak of humanity and they weren’t useless.

“Ok, but don’t stray too far away from me. Spatial windstorms appear randomly.” Chu Tianmang nodded his head and spoke in a serious tone.

When they left the city lord’s hall, they immediately saw very familiar figures.

These were the Little Hidden Dragon, the Ghost King, and the Devil Tree Battle Soldier.

They had clearly been protecting this place front he beginning.

Ye Qingzi subconsciously looked up and glanced at the sun.

Although she couldn’t see anything, nor could she see Chu Mu’s fight, with these familiar soul pets by their side, it was like Chu Mu was standing right by them. It gave them an indescribable feeling of safety.l

The others from New Moon Land, for example Ye Wansheng, Chao Lengchuan, Mu Qingyi and Yuan Sui, were in other important cities. In all likelihood, they were diligently fighting the endless Heaven Demon Devils. Ye Qingzi silently though to herself that she hoped she would be able to see them in the future…

……

Scorching fires filled the air. Everything in his vision was a crimson heavenly fire.

There were resplendent stars under his feet and a scorching crimson sun above his head. The enormity of the crimson sun was hard to believe and Chu Mu even felt that it was larger than his world which was home to all living things.

The surface of the crimson sun spat out tongues of flames. These flames angrily burned. They were inexhaustible and inextinguishable.

The closer he got to the crimson sun, the stronger Chu Mu felt his strength was.

As for Heaven Demon Devil’s Ancestor, Yu Tian, his face was growing increasingly malevolent. How could he allow for this man to be stronger than him? Back then, he had eliminated the Totem Divine Maiden – Yu Qie – who had a temperament of water and outstanding talent, before she was allowed to develop. How could this devil person, who had relied on the crimson sun to reach such heights, step on his head?!
