Chapter 1014: Sinking Continents



Noah Rithnast survived the explosion, his body was splayed out in midair, untouched, while the bedrock he had been pinned against had long vaporized. The three extra-dimensional energies acting on his flesh gave him a weird sense of immunity over the damage.

This however did not stop the effect of these three strange energies ravaging his body to show any effect, from his covering body with his hand spread wide, a constant stream of blood, pus, malformed snakes, and fog streamed out like rain.

Now he could do one thing, and that was to scream. The sound that erupted from the throat of the once Explorer was like a gong that announced the outbreak of what would be the most terrifying set of events to happen in this world.

His cries were heard across certain places in this world, on the top of a mountain, the bottom of the ocean, on certain roving clouds, in the bellies of pregnant women, in some continents, the rain hitting the ground were his cries.

His madness was beginning to infect reality, and with it was fear. There were countless legends in this world about the End of days, but none came with the signs of cries from an unknown source.

The red sun that arose from the destructions of all the Null Charges did what the combined Wills of seven Ascendants could not do, it froze the Ouroboros Serpents in place, as harsh lines of red filled their bodies that brightened until it nearly turned white, before those lines exploded, drawing loud screams of pains from the serpents as the surface layer of their rocky bodies were blasted into pieces, some of them flung into the sky for tens of thousands of miles!

Exploding nearly two million Null Charges generated so much power in a relatively small area and it was the bodies of the Ouroboros Serpent that soaked a majority of the explosion, and they paid for it. Despite the supernatural density of the rock that had survived the impact from the crash that destroyed a continent and pushed it deep into the earth without a single scratch, this explosion ripped their bodies to pieces.

The Ascendants had primed the Null charges to not work against their Ascendant energies, but this eruption was nearly uncontrollable, but the inbuilt safeguard worked well enough that the damages they suffered were relatively negligible, and several detonations, like stars exploding, erupted from their bodies as they rid themselves of any influence from the charges, and they collectively breathed a sigh of relief at their near death, and they charged towards the revealed broken serpents in fury.

No continent in this world was at peace, there was a constant battle across their surface between the Explorers and the Calamities, all ranging from large battlefields holding hundreds of thousands of combatants to small brawls between two parties, the stench of the dying and the dead never reduced, and the cry from Rowan's resurrection only paused this endless battle for a short while before it resumed.

However, in these seventeen continents, their battles paused again as the skies darkened before they began to brighten, and their inhabitants looked upwards in shock as flaming mountains descended from the sky.

Even before the first mountain reached the ground, the sight of it caused all those below to run mad. The pieces of a Primordial Ouroboros flesh, even if it was an avatar, broken and without power, were not something anyone could simply see without consequences.

The first 'mountain' that landed crushed a mountain and the town underneath that held millions to nothingness, spreading heat and light that killed many more, and then the other mountains fell. It was a relentless barrage that decimated all seventeen continents, crushing them to pieces and sinking them all into the ocean.

The wails of the dying were mercifully brief.

It was difficult to ascertain the exact number of lives that were lost, but an easy estimate would place them at least three billion.

The areas where seventeen continents once lay were no more, only flames and smoke remained, and even then those were soon swept by the waves, but it was not long before the surrounding ocean around seventeen continents began to shine with such a bright red and blue glow that it painted the ocean for thousands of miles around, and the sea bubbled as from the depths of the ocean, another ocean arose, but this one was Purified Aura.

They rose into the sky, seventeen pillars of red and blue that could be seen for nearly ten million miles and releasing such an intense volume of power that nearly dwarfed anything to ever come out at a single moment in this world.

The attention of every major power in the world was alerted, such a thing could not be hidden anymore, even a mortal looking to the sky knew that claiming one of those pillars of Purified Aura would make them the next closest thing to invincible.

This world went mad.
