Chapter 1440: Dust Drifting Away

Tian Huai was stunned.

He immediately rushed to the front of the train and demanded:

"Why aren't you continuing to drive??"

"I... I don't know... The domain train seems to have malfunctioned!" The driver checked the equipment and replied, bewildered.

Tian Huai frowned deeply. Just as he was about to ask something else, a voice came from behind him.

"Don't bother trying... The domain train has already failed."

Tian Huai turned his head and saw the injured Master of the Tongtian Tower stumbling over from the ruins of the Xuan-Yu base.

The Master of the Tongtian Tower looked at the approaching crimson meteor, his expression filled with bitterness and despair... He was the leader of the Art-Path and the head of the Tongtian Tower; perhaps no one in this era understood the domain train better than he did.

It was precisely because of this that Tian Huai's expression changed drastically upon hearing this!

"Even the domain train..."

"The Red Star is the source of civilizational regression. During the Great Cataclysm, it only grazed Earth, yet it caused material civilization to regress by over a hundred years... This time, it's heading straight for us." The Master of the Tongtian Tower replied hoarsely. "Even if its main body hasn't hit Earth yet, the radiation it emits is enough to lock down all material civilization."

One must know that the domain train was the lifeline of human domains. For over three hundred years since the Great Cataclysm, the trains had been operating safely in the Gray Realm, unaffected even by world-ending attacks... But now, the domain train couldn't even start, which meant humanity didn't even have the chance to transfer the last of its population to the Ling-Xu domain.

"Then is there really no other way?" Tian Huai asked, unwilling to give up. "Is there any way to change its trajectory? To avoid a direct impact?"

"Change the trajectory of the Red Star?"

The Master of the Tongtian Tower laughed miserably:

"Before the Great Cataclysm, humanity used countless nuclear weapons just to barely deflect the Red Star's trajectory by a fraction, and that was when the Red Star wasn't even in direct contact with Earth's orbit..."

"And now?"

"Now, we don't even have nuclear weapons!"

"Tell me, what means could we possibly have to change the trajectory of a meteor in the universe??"

Tian Huai's face was as pale as paper.

"So..."

"Are we really just waiting to die?"

The Master of the Tongtian Tower slowly closed his eyes and said nothing.

The blood-like red glow obscured the sky, the daylight dimmed, and it seemed as if everything in the world was covered in a layer of blood. The outline of the meteor gradually enlarged in everyone's pupils...

Tian Huai clenched his fists tightly. After taking a deep breath, he turned and walked toward the ruins of the base!

"Where are you going?" the Master of the Tongtian Tower asked.

"To hell with waiting to die!" Tian Huai's gaze was fixed on the waves of calamities charging toward them, his tone incredibly grim. "These calamities want to hide in human domains to save their lives? Since they won't let us live, then let's all die together!!

The Red Star descends, all beings are equal; no one gets to have it easy!!"

A murderous intent had climbed into Tian Huai's eyes. Just then, a crisp sound of clapping echoed from the side.

Clap, clap, clap...

Tian Huai turned back abruptly!

Under the blood-like red glow, a theatrical robe with black patterns on a red background fluttered silently. Chen Ling, like a spectator detached from the world, clapped gently, his gaze toward Tian Huai carrying a hint of appreciation.

"It's you?" Tian Huai's pupils contracted slightly.

The Master of the Tongtian Tower beside him was stunned, looking in the direction of Tian Huai's gaze, but saw only emptiness.

"Who is it??"

Tian Huai did not answer. He just stared fixedly at Chen Ling, his expression shifting... He knew that although Chen Ling was a world-ending calamity, his stance was somewhat strange. Even before this total offensive by the world-ending calamities, it was he who had sent word to humanity through Jian Changsheng.

And what was the intention of this world-ending calamity appearing here at this time?

"What are you here for?"

"In return for your willingness to fight, I... have come to give you a reminder."

"A reminder?"

"Do not let the Calamity-Breather touch the Xuan-Yu Lord." Chen Ling said slowly. "These world-ending calamities are attempting to gain a chance to avoid the Red Star's impact by merging with human demigods... If it succeeds, the Xuan-Yu domain will become the Calamity-Breather's umbrella."

Tian Huai's brow furrowed tightly.

He did not doubt Chen Ling's reminder; after all, at this point, there was no point in Chen Ling deceiving him... If everything was as Chen Ling said, then...

Tian Huai looked up again in Chen Ling's direction, but at this moment, the figure in the theatrical robe had vanished like a ghost.

Under the blood-colored sky in the distance, a hideous skeletal giant dragon was reaching out its claws, grabbing into the ruins of the Xuan-Yu base, as if searching for something.

Tian Huai did not hesitate in the slightest, directly unleashing all his power and speeding toward the Calamity-Breather!

His voice exploded over the battlefield like thunder!

"Everyone! Do everything in your power to hold back the Calamity-Breather!"

"Even if you have to use your lives to pile up! Hold it back for me!! No matter what, do not let the Xuan-Yu Lord become a puppet of world-ending destruction!!!"

The moment they heard this, everyone fighting in blood on the battlefield froze, then looked fiercely toward the Calamity-Breather!

After a brief shock, unprecedented anger climbed into their pupils!

The Xuan-Yu Lord was the existence that had supported this domain for hundreds of years, the faith of all the residents of the Xuan-Yu domain. The legends he left behind were once the heroic stories every Xuan-Yu resident had to hear before going to sleep...

The Xuan-Yu domain had been breached, the Red Star was about to descend, and they might all die...

But the Xuan-Yu Lord must absolutely not become a puppet of world-ending destruction!

Rage burned in everyone's chest. Whether they were Tier 2 or 3 Esoteric youths, or Tier 7 or 8 high-level combatants, everyone turned without hesitation, charging one after another toward that world-ending calamity that seemed capable of suppressing everything!

Since death is inevitable either way,

how could I let you defile the Xuan-Yu Lord?!!

Dense figures, like overwhelming ants, charged toward the dust dragon that was sweeping away civilization. The Calamity-Breather sensed this suicidal attack by the humans and flapped its wings, a hurricane instantly shattering the low-level combatants in the distance into blood mist!

There was no existence in the Xuan-Yu domain capable of contending with a world-ending level threat.

But now,

everyone was charging toward the world-ending level threat without fear of death.

This was a one-sided massacre... They didn't have Mr. Han's near-death domain like the Tian-Shu domain, and they couldn't be resurrected. But even so, under this blood-colored firmament, they were frantically betting their lives on the scales of war.

Even if they were as small as dust before world-ending destruction, if the Calamity-Breather wanted to kill them, it would at least have to flap its wings, right?

One figure after another was blown away into dust before the Calamity-Breather's massive body...

Inside the stalled domain train carriage,

Huai Mang's eyes were splitting, his expression fierce and angry!
