LRAB Chapter 182 The Heaven is Desire
Chapter 182 The Heaven is Desire
Xu Si hovered in mid-air, his scarlet star-like eyes locking onto the last and leading Lou Mi.
The shadows on the opposite corner flowed more rapidly, like boiling asphalt.
A thick, suffocating sense of oppression filled the air, and even the trajectory of the falling rain began to distort.
"What are they waiting for?" Xu Si clearly sensed something was wrong.
Su Su landed back on the rooftop, and the pale gray silk ribbons formed by [Immortal Mist] unfurled in the wind like a light gauze scarf.
Her cool gaze swept across the cluster of buildings, finally settling on Xu Si, who was suspended in mid-air.
Xu Si's "Star Pulse" had already opened, and he couldn't sense any hostility from this strange creature.
All of this is so unusual.
Chen Pei, who went to investigate, has not yet sent any news. Has he not found anything unusual? Or is he unable to send a message?
Just then, the building moved.
Seemingly sensing its helplessness against Xu Si in mid-air, it didn't charge recklessly, but instead...
Slowly lowering its head, it aimed its massive antlers at the air above where Xu Si was. The thick shadows that had been wrapped around the antlers suddenly broke free, but instead of attacking, they spread rapidly like ink dripping into water!
It wasn't just one.
The entire group of building mittens, all the remaining building mittens, made the same move at the same moment!
Dozens, even hundreds, of shadows detached from their giant horns, rose up, and converged and merged in mid-air, instantly forming a vast, viscous, dark sky that seemed capable of swallowing all light!
Beneath the sky, the rain stopped, the light was distorted, and even sound seemed to be absorbed.
Even Xu Si had to avoid his sharp edge.
Why are you taking such good care of him?
Isn't this targeting?
Are you really abandoning all defense?
A heavy, soul-chilling pressure enveloped the entire block as if it were a tangible force!
"Retreat!" Xu Si shouted sharply, retreating rapidly on his sword, his star-like eyes blazing with crimson light.
This isn't an attack at all; it's more like a...
A sacrifice?
Or rather, the initiation of some kind of ritual!
Su Su and Ta Shan immediately sensed something was wrong and retreated without hesitation.
At this moment, centered on this area, dark shadows continued to gather towards the sky above the city.
They appear to be surrounded.
In the blink of an eye, it seemed the hunter had become the prey.
The cluster of buildings not far away seemed to be looking "devoutly" at the black sky.
Since that's the case, Xu Si didn't care about morality anymore. He directly conjured up a huge [Starburst] and threw it towards the center of the [Deer] herd while they were distracted.
[Purify Level 2 Building Deer, Purification Points +2000]
[Purify Level 2 Building Deer, Purification Points +2000]
[Purify Level 2 Building Deer, Purification Points +2000]
……
However, just one shot gave Xu Si an extra 10,000 purification points.
However, Xu Si dared not delay any longer, because the sky curtain was gathering more and more, and growing larger and larger.
It gave Xu Si a feeling that the sky was about to collapse.
It seems like things have gone too far.
Xu Si could even feel the hairs on his entire body standing on end under that heavy pressure!
This isn't an attack, it's more like...
The breath of some colossal being before its awakening!
"Get back to the convoy! Now!" he shouted to Su Su and Ta Shan below.
The two were not much slower than Xu Si.
Running away is practically an instinct in an apocalyptic world.
There was no time to drive. Xu Si's Star Pulse Perception extended wildly, hoping that the Conqueror could escape this calamity!
The streams of shadows rising from all directions and every corner of the city seemed to form a circle, enveloping the entire city...
That's incredibly tasteless! Calling your parents when you can't beat them up.
They didn't kill that many monsters!
There's really no need for that!
"Brother Dao, come back quickly! Chen Pei said the strange things in the city seem to indicate a riot."
Before the words were finished—
"Pop!"
A soft yet soul-stirring sound came from the center of the ever-swirling, expanding dark sky.
Xu Si glanced back at the cluster of buildings, only to see that they had all become ruins in the city.
The sky suddenly stopped expanding and began to contract inward!
Immediately afterwards, an "eye" that defies description, composed purely of flowing shadows and fragmented starlight, suddenly opened in the center of the sky!
Xu Si didn't dare to look up at the sky even once. He was completely enveloped in a cloak of shadow and used his sword to descend and instantly plunge into the underground air-raid shelter.
"System, purify the human presence of the convoy."
Purification point: -200, Time: 10 minutes
[Remaining Purification Points: 25670]
Xu Si didn't know whether the one in the sky was actually the [Lou Mi King].
But he learned what it meant to have a body the size of a lake.
At this moment, the giant eye in the sky, composed of shadows and fragmented starlight, had fully opened.
It has no pupils, no whites of the eyes, only endless, slowly rotating darkness, and the occasional, cold, lifeless starlight that bursts forth from within.
The moment it "gazes" upon you, it's as if the entire city falls into a deathly silence.
There was not a single light inside the air-raid shelter, and no one made even the slightest sound.
Whether it's Xu Si, Su Su, and Ta Shan from Sequence 3, or Jiao Jiao and Xiao Luo who have just been promoted to Sequence 2, or even someone as ordinary as Yao Yao—
My soul seemed to freeze for a moment.
Absolute darkness and deathly silence descended.
Only each person can hear the roar of blood rushing through their eardrums, and the instinctive, uncontrollable tremor from the depths of their soul.
The dark curtain in the sky—no, at this moment it can no longer be called a curtain.
It came to life.
The boundless shadows collapsed and shaped wildly inward, and the shattered starlight was forcibly blended and woven together, transforming into the bones and veins that supported this new body.
In the blink of an eye, a creation beyond description descended upon the salt market.
That's [Lou Mi Wang].
It has no "body" in the traditional sense; it is more like a self-aware, flowing abyss.
Its main body resembles an inverted mountain range, composed of the purest shadows, with a viscous, dark fluid flowing on its surface that seems capable of swallowing all light.
Countless thick "antlers" formed from fragments of starlight pierced out from the shadowy body, pointing haphazardly towards the sky like giant pillars supporting the heavens.
Each "antler" is wrapped in thick, shadowy tendrils that, with a gentle sway, tear through space, leaving behind long-lasting black cracks.
At the location of its "head" is that giant eye that has just opened.
At this moment, the giant eye slowly turned, indifferently "scanning" the long-dead city below.
Then, it "breathed".
No sound.
But the entire salt city, along with the thick, leaden clouds that had shrouded it for who knows how long, contracted sharply with his breathing.
Then the clouds above the salt city transformed into a massive, grayish-white cloud tornado with a diameter of over several hundred kilometers, which was swallowed up by the abyss's gaping maw!
The sky cleared up in just over ten seconds.
