Chapter 594 - 270: Symphony of Flesh and Blood (Part 5)
The golden thunder was like the most obedient servant.
It surrounded the silhouette, leaping and submitting, yet unable to harm it in the slightest.
The tattered garments flew silently in the thunderlight.
With each step taken, the scorched, cracked flesh ground beneath seemed unable to withstand the invisible pressure, slightly sinking.
The silhouette was somewhat blurred amidst the extreme halo.
The flesh ground beneath its feet transformed into a scorched-glaze-like substance at the moment it stepped.
Each step felt as if it were treading on everyone’s heart.
Dozens of grandmasters, who had just survived a calamity and were still unsettled, now seemed as if they were under an Immobilization Spell.
The remaining excitement and confusion from surviving were instantly replaced by extreme horror.
Someone instinctively retreated, their back crashing heavily against the slick meat wall.
Someone’s legs weakened, uncontrollably kneeling on the ground.
Others had their teeth chattering, unable to hold their weapons steady.
"What is that?!"
"Is it coming... coming out of the thunder?!"
Despair once again coiled around everyone’s spine.
In front was the Taotie Blood Shadow, and behind was this thunderous existence of unimaginable terror...
Could it be out of the tiger’s den, into the dragon’s lair?!
Among the crowd, there was only Jiang Wei.
On her pale little face, with eyes burning with the sun’s glow.
Pain, exhaustion, and the weakness from Tribulation Fire’s overuse were instantly replaced by indescribable joy and... deep curiosity and shock!
It’s him!
It must be him!
That unique aura of Fang Qingyu, even wrapped by this unfamiliar, more grand and terrifying golden Divine Thunder, she would never mistake it!
But... his current state?!
That golden thunder... the kind of pressure that surpasses the Red Bright Tribulation Fire... even she couldn’t completely comprehend!
Jiang Wei’s clear red eyes flickered intensely.
But the weakness from overexertion surged like a tide, causing her small body to sway slightly.
"Who... who are you?!"
A grandmaster close by, with Tier Two Peak strength, forcibly endured the tremor from deep within the soul, mustering all courage, hoarsely yelled out.
The voice seemed exceptionally abrupt in the deathly silent passage.
Everyone’s hearts leapt up to their throats.
The thundering silhouette’s footsteps seemed to pause slightly.
The "head" region enveloped in golden thunderlight seemed to "look" towards the source of the voice.
Just by being swept by that invisible gaze, the scar-faced mercenary felt plunged into an ice cave, as if an invisible giant hand gripped his throat, the subsequent words stuck awkwardly, his face turning as pale as paper.
The thunderous silhouette did not stop, nor did it reply.
The gaze pierced through the crowd, precisely landing on Jiang Wei at the forefront.
Through the surging thunderlight and chaotic crowd, Jiang Wei clearly felt the lock of that gaze.
No words.
Just a very subtle nod.
The action so small it was barely noticeable, yet in Jiang Wei’s perception, it was unmistakably clear.
The light in Jiang Wei’s red eyes flickered violently.
She understood.
Her tense body instantly relaxed.
BOOM—!!!
At the next moment after the thunderous silhouette nodded in indication.
A column of light as thick as a barrel, composed of destructive golden thunder, shot skyward without warning from beneath the silhouette’s feet!
The light column instantly tore through the heavy dark red flesh dome above the passage.
Accompanied by deafening thunder and the "sizzle" sound of flesh instantly carbonizing and evaporating.
A massive hole with a diameter exceeding three meters, its edges flowing like molten red-gold light flames, suddenly appeared overhead!
The golden thunderlight, like a searchlight, penetrated through the newly opened hole, illuminating a deep, unknown darkness outside.
As the light column exploded.
The thunderous silhouette had already turned into a golden lightning, following the trajectory of the thunder column, instantly disappearing.
The place left only that still intimidating golden thunder column connecting the unknown above, and the wind... carrying a cold breath coming from outside?
The deathly silence inside the passage lasted for several seconds.
Everyone stared dumbly at the golden thunder column piercing the dome, and the hole above leading to the unknown.
Blood and flesh debris, still dripping and carbonizing, from the edges of the hole.
"Di... disappeared?"
"What... what exactly was that?!"
"He... he seems... to have opened a path for us?"
Finally, someone recovered from the extreme shock, murmuring to themselves.
Then, like hot oil dripped into cold water!
"A path! It’s a way out!!"
"My Heaven! He tore open a path!!"
"Look! Above!! It seems possible to get out!!"
"What are you waiting for?! Charge!!"
The post-catastrophe joy and survival instinct instantly overwhelmed all fear and confusion.
Dozens of grandmasters, like a flood bursting through a dam, erupted with speeds faster than when escaping for their lives, madly rushing towards the giant hole left after the golden thunder column vanished!
"Don’t squeeze! Damn!"
"Get out of the way! I’m going first!"
"Move! Anyone blocking the way, I’ll chop you!"
The scene instantly descended into chaos.
Some displayed Body Technique, climbing upward along the scorched flesh wall like geckos.
Others jumped on the spot, trying to catch the hole’s edge.
More impatient ones directly stepped on the shoulders ahead to leverage upwards.
The selfishness and survival frenzy of humanity were exposed without reservation at this moment.
No one knew where this hole led, whether it was safe.
But it was the only hope!
It was that mysterious, like Thunder God descending to Earth, existence, using supreme power to tear open a path to life for them!
"Amitabha..."
Shikong watched the chaotic scene ahead, sighed helplessly, and pulled down the rough wig from his head, revealing a smooth bald head.
