Chapter 1558: The Silent Angel Appears

"Lord Wuji, is the frequency of these collapses increasing?"

At the edge of the Eternal Domain, several knights looked at the spatial collapses appearing around them, their brows furrowing involuntarily.

As the Eternal Domain went deeper into the Embers of Civilization, the collapses that used to happen only once in a long while were appearing more frequently. Now, two collapse zones could even appear at the same time, and both were near the Eternal Domain.

But if one observed carefully, they would find that this didn't seem to be targeting them, but rather that the space here itself was becoming increasingly unstable.

"We should be arriving at the core region soon," Lord Wuji replied calmly.

Although the frequency of these collapses was increasing, these small-scale gravitational pulls were simply no match for the Eternal Domain. Plus, Lord Wuji had been frantically swallowing materials along the way into the domain, causing its mass to expand even further.

While they were speaking, a massive spatial vortex gradually took shape on the side of the Eternal Domain. Almost simultaneously, a second and a third one appeared randomly around it... The three spatial collapses connected with each other, as if a reaction had occurred, and suddenly, a large area around them collapsed, revealing a pitch-black hole a hundred meters wide!

The scale of this spatial collapse was several times larger than what they had encountered before, and the gravity generated during the collapse had reached a terrifying level. The entire Eternal Domain shook, tilting slightly as it drifted toward the direction of the spatial collapse.

Creak—

Many of the residences in the Eternal Domain tilted along with the ground, like a cruise ship hitting a large wave while sailing at sea. Tables and chairs moved slowly with creaking sounds, and the plates or ornaments that had been placed on them had already fallen with a clatter, shattering on the floor.

Exclamations of surprise rang out from the residences. Only then did the residents realize that the "turbulence" the knights had warned them about was not just a simple shake...

Fortunately, no one felt bad about these shattered plates and furniture; in the Eternal Realm, these are all renewable resources.

And it wasn't just the numerous residences on the surface; the dungeon directly below was also in total chaos at this moment.

"A Calamity?!"

A knight saw the black chess piece rolling on the ground and blinked hard. In his vision, that thing was a black centipede crawling at high speed!

Another knight's expression also changed drastically:

"How could a Calamity appear in the Eternal Realm?!!"

"Those bugs from the Ghost-Mocking Abyss below—how could they possibly crawl up here?!"

These two knights were both eyewitnesses who had seen Chen Ling confront Lord Wuji at the entrance of the Eternal Palace and had watched their colleague's head get crushed. Chen Ling had only exerted a slight amount of effort, yet it had affected their minds, leaving them filled with terror as they looked at the black chess piece!

Creak—!!

As the Eternal Realm tilted, the black chess piece, which had been about to fall, miraculously maintained a delicate balance and began to clatter rapidly down the stairs.

The two knights exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, shot off like arrows released from a bow, chasing after the "centipede Calamity."

Meanwhile, at the edge of the Eternal Realm.

Lord Wuji felt the gravitational pull coming from the side and frowned slightly. The land beneath him had already tilted along with it, but his figure remained rooted to the spot like a pine tree, his black robes fluttering silently.

"Nothing more than this." Lord Wuji lifted his hand slightly.

At the edge of the Eternal Realm, directly facing the side of the spatial collapse, three circular voids suddenly opened in the steel earth that carried the city like a mountain...

Immediately after, three massive shadows resembling airplane tail engines emerged from them. Each had a radius of over a hundred meters, looking exactly like the power units on the chest of a super-large mecha from a sci-fi movie. As Lord Wuji slowly clenched his five fingers, three terrifying auras on the level of a nuclear explosion erupted from within!!

Hum—!!!

A powerful thrust erupted from one side of the Eternal Realm, and the entire realm shook once more!

The two knights, who were running at high speed through the dungeon, suddenly lost their balance and stumbled to the ground... At the same time, a set of keys hanging on a hook on the dungeon wall was shaken loose, sliding bit by bit toward the depths of the dungeon along the tilted ground.

The prisoners in the dungeon were also left completely bewildered by this inexplicable shaking and tilting, but when they saw the keys sliding past their eyes, their gazes became fixed...

Pairs of hands reached out from the cages, trying to grab the keys, but they missed by a hair's breadth, grasping at nothing.

As the thrust of the nuclear explosion and the gravitational pull of the spatial collapse gradually balanced out, the tilted Eternal Realm slowly recovered, and the speed at which the keys were sliding gradually decreased...

Finally,

they stopped precisely in front of a cell door.

A figure wearing a silver-threaded long robe slowly walked out from the dim depths of the cell. He gently pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and with his other hand, he easily picked up the keys...

The corners of Mo Yao's mouth curled up slightly. He looked at the void before him and murmured:

"My thanks, Lord Red King."

……

"It's stabilized!"

"As expected of Lord Wuji."

Seeing Lord Wuji single-handedly withstand the gravitational pull of the spatial collapse, the knights, who had been somewhat tense, immediately relaxed.

Lord Wuji was supporting the direction of the spatial collapse with one hand and was about to say something, when in the next second, his expression darkened slightly!

He turned his head abruptly to look at the front of the Eternal Realm.

At some point, the drifting ash snowflakes had turned into a sky-filling blizzard. And now, in the deepest part of the swirling snow, a massive shadowy silhouette appeared out of thin air beneath the five fake suns!

It was a figure with six massive wings on its back.

Its appearance was silent; even Lord Wuji hadn't sensed the slightest anomaly. The figure stood with its back to the five fake suns, the edges of its wings cutting through the boundary between light and dark, making it impossible to see its face clearly. Yet, those eyes, radiating a profound chill, were enough to strike terror into anyone who saw them through the blur.

Endless snow swirled around it, and it stood there above the void, as if an angel guarding this chaotic world, looking down upon the mortal realm.

A terrifying aura spread through the air, as if a mountain were pressing down on everyone's heart, making it incredibly difficult even to lift their heads.

"An aura that doesn't belong to this world... It is the master of this blizzard."

Lord Wuji's expression was more solemn than ever. He squinted, staring at the angelic figure standing in the firmament, and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be descriptions of such an image in the human bases.

He pondered for a long time, as if he had finally recalled something, and his expression immediately turned incredibly ugly.

"The Seventh Extinction..."

"The Annihilation Angel?!"
