Chapter 780: Wasteland Calendar, Day 174, Transdimensional Descent, the Great Battle Erupts

Day 174 of the Wasteland Calendar.

Only the final ten days remained before the deadline for the last mission of the Gold-tier Fate Card.

The temperature in the Green Forest World was lower than ever.

-101 degrees Celsius.

It had fallen below the previous record low.

But nothing had changed.

The world was still utterly silent and desolate.

It was a world sealed in ice.

Suddenly, the sky began to tremble.

An immense surge of energy shook the ice crystals suspended in the air apart, and a Spatial Rift opened out of nowhere.

More than a dozen beings radiated terrifying power.

Trailing flames, ice, lightning, starlight, rosy clouds, blood energy, and mist, they emerged from the Spatial Rift.

As their energy faded, their true forms came into view.

They surveyed this icy world. Their powerful spiritual might made even space tremble faintly.

But an even more exalted power descended, and space slowly stabilized.

These were the members of the Transdimensional Council who had pursued the Eternal Frozen Tyrant.

“That’s right. This world is indeed filled with that fellow’s presence. The temperature is so abnormal that this must be his lair,” the Frost Demon King said with certainty.

Everyone looked toward the Star Disciple.

The pendulum in the Star Disciple’s hand swayed. Starlight scattered across the sky, weaving itself into a ribbon that finally drifted into the distance.

“There’s something unusual over there!”

“Hurry. We don’t have much time.”

They each used their own methods, transforming into flames, ice, starlight, blood, and other forms. In an instant, they crossed thousands of kilometers and appeared in the sky above the Terra Continent. Their expressions changed at once.

For here, they sensed an aura that did not belong to the ice.

It was brimming with pollution and the frenzied aura of corruption.

“This is...” One of the Transdimensional beings was about to speak.

The Blood Duke’s expression suddenly changed.

“Careful! This must be an accomplice of the Eternal Frozen Tyrant. That thing is hiding underground. Molten Demon King, force it out.”

As he spoke, the phantom image of a blood pool had already appeared behind him.

A dozen or so stone pillars rose from the blood pool, each engraved with intricate patterns.

The patterns all converged into beams of blood-red light, which formed a spiral drill and slammed into the ground.

A blood-red passage leading deep underground appeared in its wake.

The black crude oil hidden far beneath the earth was instantly roused.

The attack had awakened the entire Terra Continent.

One oil geyser after another erupted from underground.

The aura of corruption began to spread.

The expressions of all the Transdimensional beings changed dramatically.

This aura was completely foreign to the Civilization Ladder, and its source was undoubtedly a Transdimensional being.

“Damn it! Is the Civilization Ladder full of holes or what? How did so many Transdimensional beings sneak in?”

“Enough talk. Whoever this thing is, it must be on the Eternal Frozen Tyrant’s side if it’s here. Attack!” The Blood Duke unleashed his power again.

The Star Disciple also said gravely, “We’re out of time!”

They all exchanged glances as immense energy gathered around them.

The Molten Demon King manipulated the magma deep underground, making it erupt to force the unfamiliar Transdimensional being hidden below to show itself.

The Blood Clan Progenitor let out a mad laugh. The next moment, blood-red vortices appeared above the black oil geysers.

Hundreds of aircraft launched from the Mechanical Leader’s body. They flew into the stratosphere, where they assembled and joined together.

A massive mechanical device took shape in an instant.

“Planet-destroying energy cannon, locked on.”

A particle beam of energy, a hundred meters in diameter, fired in an instant.

The entire tectonic plate of the Terra Continent shook violently. The particle beam struck the earth, turning every block of ice and every stone in its path to dust.

It bored straight down toward the depths of the planet’s core.

The Frost Demon King, meanwhile, drew upon the icy power of the entire world and gathered it.

The Star Disciple’s hands flashed through a series of seals. Golden Runes flew from his hands, soaring into the sky and aligning one by one with the stars above.

A vast net woven from countless points of starlight enveloped the world.

It cut off all spatial and teleportation abilities.

At that very moment, an exasperated voice came from deep within the Terra Continent.

“You uncouth savages who don’t know what you’re doing... You’re asking to die!”

As the voice rang out, an incredibly dense black mist surged upward from the world’s core, deep underground.

With a tremendous Crack, the tectonic plates of the Terra Continent split apart, and streams of black mist gushed out.

In an instant, it shrouded the entire Terra Continent.

The aura of corruption and decay became maggots clinging to bone, enveloping and coiling around everyone. It bypassed their protective defenses and burrowed into their bodies.

Everyone’s expressions changed dramatically.

“Damn it...”

“What is this?”

Colored lights flashed across their bodies as they deployed every protective measure they had.

The black mist shrouded the continent, and two blood-red lights blazed.

They flashed only once.

The Molten Demon King’s expression changed dramatically. Flames soared from his body, but a patch of black crude oil had already appeared on his arm.

The black oil sizzled beneath the roasting flames of the Molten Demon King.

But he also felt intense pain, and his soul began to waver.

He was shocked and furious.

This damnable, bizarre power reminded him of a terrifying and ancient being buried deep in his memories.

The Corruption Source.

One of the most despicable among the New World’s most ancient beings.

“How is this possible? How could he still be alive? Why would he come here?”

Just then, a ray of rosy light illuminated everyone.

A faint trace of holy energy within it took effect.

The black mist rapidly receded.

The black oil clinging to everyone was also barely cleared away by their respective powers, dropping to the ground one after another.

As the black mist withdrew, everyone saw the figure hidden within it.

It was an ugly creature resembling a moth. Its body looked like melting asphalt, constantly dripping black crude oil and radiating corruption and ill omen.

Its two lightbulb-like eyes stared at everyone as its mouthparts twitched.

“You’ve ruined my plans. Then I’ll take your lives as compensation!”

The blood pool behind the Blood Duke was already churning again. He shouted sharply,

“What are you waiting for? Attack!”

The Transdimensional beings had already seen how formidable their opponent was in the preceding battle. None dared hold back now, and they unleashed all their abilities at once.

Meanwhile, in another dimension of the battlefield,

a retro medieval cruise ship sat quietly at anchor.

Yu Yuan looked at the moth-like Corruption Source and furrowed his brow slightly.

“This guy is unbelievably strong.”

“Burp~”

Zhi Zhi let out a burp beside him.

“Master, this Corruption Source is definitely an ancient being. I only had to look at him to absorb an enormous amount of hidden energy. I’m so full, so full!”

“I’m so sleepy! I feel like I’m about to reach the bottleneck of my evolution.”

Zhi Zhi’s words filled Yu Yuan with both surprise and delight.

“Hang in there, Zhi Zhi. Absorb a little more energy before you go to sleep!”

“Okay!”

Zhi Zhi did its best to absorb the hidden energy, while Yu Yuan carefully watched the beings above Gold outside.

He paid particular attention to the Molten Demon King and the Frost Demon King.

On the Virtual Light Screen,

as the Molten Demon King and the Frost Demon King continued battling the Corruption Source,

Yu Yuan’s understanding of their powers grew deeper and deeper.

His disguise authenticity rose rapidly.

The Frost Demon King broke through the 90% mark.

The Molten Demon King’s disguise authenticity also shot past the 35% mark like a rocket, racing with all its might toward 40%.

It wasn’t just these two. The other beings above Gold also all appeared on the list, their disguise authenticity values now displayed.

Seeing this, Yu Yuan couldn’t help feeling excited.

“Worth it! So worth it!”
