Chapter 311: Absolute Peak Of Half-Step Nascent Soul

....

The blood and guts of the man were about to splatter all over the high-tech walls, but before they could...

OOOM!

The shadowy figure's black and red katana morphed into a wider form before it devoured every part of the man's existence.

CHOMP!

Azmond watched Emu devour the pieces of the man before his voice reverberated out:

"Let us go to the next location, Emu."

FWIP!

Following such a proclamation, his pitch-black figure faded away from the non-existent crime scene.

*****

Azmond used his time like a true super-secret edgelord as he traveled throughout the fifteenth floor of the Luminous Grounds and exterminated all the filth.

After a few weeks of such activities, he decided it was time to head up to the Sixteenth Step, and that was exactly what he did as we made it to the present day.

...

He, along with Emu (in katana form), Calista, and Boundless, found themselves at the station hub of the Swanson Transportation Company at the main city (Avendale) on the very edge of the fifteenth floor, approximately tens of millions of miles away from where they entered the fifteenth floor from.

"Azmond?"

A soft, muted voice made its way to Azmond's ears as he turned his head down from the noisy sounds pervading the area around them.

"What is it, Calista?" He asked with a concerned tone before he continued, "Are you hungry again, by chance?"

"Uhn uh Calista is not hungry" Calista mumbled with an almost inaudible tone.

"Then what is it?"

An extremely powerful and regal aura exploded out from within the confines of the Fifteenth Step as something inexplicable emerged from the wall leading to the Sixteenth Step!

"Another one" Azmond muttered, his passive gaze traveling toward a certain location.

"Mhmu!" Emu squeaked with a chirpy tone.

It seemed like Azmond and Emu had two varying opinions about the incoming calamity that was about to land on Avendale.

Azmond's gaze stayed trained on the disturbance occurring on the wall that led to the Sixteenth floor as he, along with everybody else in Avendale began to see the emergence of something absolutely massive!

"Is that a talon!?"

Someone among the crowd blurted out as he saw what appeared to be a talona talon that trumped even the City of Avendale in grandiosity!

"What the hell is happening in the Luminous Grounds!? We have had more new and exceedingly powerful monster slave attacks in one year than we have experienced in the last thousand years!!!" A Void Refining Realm Cougarkin roared.

"Maybe the end of the world is coming," a gazellekin said.

"I wouldn't doubt it... First, our Nine Monster Emperors mysteriously disappeared, and then all of our Tribulation Transcendence Realm ancestors vanished right along with them... We are doomed"

The one who spoke was a Void Refining realm Hippokin, and his expression was anything but jolly as he watched the small-country-sized talon fall down from the heavens.

RUMBLE!!

The ground and air beneath the talon trembled beneath the pressure being emitted by the monster attached to the talon!

And it didn't take long before the land spreading over hundreds of miles was flattened as the entire hand of the monster made contact with the surface!

An immensely powerful and primitive aura was released from the claw of the unknown beast as the residual energies spread out and engulfed everything within a hundred thousand-mile radius!

WHAZOOM!

The savage and extraordinarily powerful aura eventually made its way over to Avendale, as all the lights that lit up the city were blown out like candles in the wind.

A once futuristic and dazzling city that sparkled like an effulgent sea of jewels in the night was quickly turned into a dead zone as darkness consumed the light in the world.

And even with the high cultivation bases of all the cultivators present in the city, not a single one of thembesides those in the Void Refining Realm and abovecould see what was going on around them...
