The light of the Xuan Tian Star dimmed at this moment.
The entire planet descended into chaos.
Tsunamis, ground fissures, and collapsing mountains occurred simultaneously.
On the Sea of Death, countless cracks opened and closed.
The sand sea was swallowed, and vast amounts of earth surged from unfathomable depths.
In some places, fountains even erupted, with columns of water shooting hundreds of meters into the sky.
In Hurricane City, the mountaintop shook violently.
Countless rocks tumbled down.
In an instant, one-third of the towering peak collapsed.
Such events unfolded across the entire Xuan Tian Star.
All beings, all races believed the heavens and earth were about to be destroyed.
However, the cause of all this was singular…
Of the nine suns that spanned the sky, one suddenly moved away… until it vanished.
Even the mighty Lao Yang, at the peak of the God of War realm and a half-step Saint Body, felt powerless against this.
For the first time, fear flickered in his eyes.
Only when… the receding sun completely disappeared did this world-ending catastrophe gradually cease.
"Look, what is that…"
Despite the dramatic celestial changes, the massive light screen above the peaks of the Feng Hun Sect remained.
Suddenly, a person’s loud exclamation drew everyone’s gaze upward.
Within the light screen… countless small meteoroids continued to fly, one after another, towards an unknown destination.
Suddenly, a colossal fireball, tens of thousands of times larger than those small meteoroids, appeared.
It almost filled the entire light screen.
It… trailing a long tail, streaked rapidly, its target also… that mysterious place.
"Could this be… our Divine Sun?"
Witnessing this scene,
Many murmured, voicing their thoughts.
"No… it can’t be?"
…
[Beep beep beep… Super Power System… shutdown countdown… 3 seconds…]
[Beep beep beep… Super Power System… shutdown countdown… 2 seconds…]
[Beep beep beep… Super Power System… shutdown countdown… 1 second…]
*Boom…*
The entire small world trembled violently…
Endless oppressive force struck the ground.
This time… the ground caved in by a full hundred meters.
Countless lava streams erupted directly, instantly filling the crater.
However, at the very center of this pit, a pillar stood, thousands of meters in diameter.
A giant armored quail stood upon it.
Above its head, a bizarre demon, emitting heat, floated.
"It held…" Kh3106's weak voice echoed from within the Shattered Star Mecha.
[Beep… Normal Power System operating normally, remaining energy 0.2%, left arm damage 45.25%… Insufficient energy for rapid repair, memory metal is self-restoring…]
Hearing Kh3106’s voice, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Hei plopped onto the ground.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness. If it had gotten any worse, we'd all be dead here…"
*Rumble…*
Xiao Hei, filled with lingering fear, spoke while sitting on the ground, but hadn't finished his sentence.
A muffled sound, then a dull thud…
The sky suddenly became incredibly bright.
The entire sky turned fiery red.
[Beep beep beep… Alert… Alert… Detected sudden temperature increase, external temperature has reached 63.5 degrees Celsius… continuously rising… average increase of approximately 0.6 degrees Celsius per second…]
"Damn it… Xiao Hei, you black-mouthed crow, your words are just as unlucky!"
Beyond the hazy sky of the small world, a fireball the size of a basketball appeared.
Its proximity was causing the temperature here to rise.
Everyone knew what it was—the sun…
[Beep beep beep… Alert… Detected giant star approaching… impact time… 10 minutes and 49 seconds…]
[Beep beep beep… Alert… Insufficient energy, refrigeration system unable to operate effectively…]
The Shattered Star Mecha issued a series of alarms…
"It's Little Tian… summoning something from beyond the heavens…" Wei Jin’s gaze swept towards the meteoroids continuously entering the sky.
Then he looked at the object the Shattered Star Mecha was referring to as a star.
"Quick, have the Shattered Star call out, tell Tian Ge to stop! If this continues, we'll all die…" Miao Zuo panicked.
…
"Stop…"
Before Kh3106 could have the Shattered Star Mecha communicate with Chu Tian,
A terrified, enraged voice echoed through the heavens.
Chu Tian faltered, then narrowed his eyes, shouting fiercely, "Who the hell are you? I'll stop just because you say so?"
"If you don't stop… you and I… they… and the eighteen thousand three hundred and twelve people in this world… will all die."
Chu Tian could hear the urgency in its voice.
He glanced at the wobbling Shattered Star Mecha hovering above his head.
Chu Tian knew its energy must be insufficient again.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this.
"Kh3106, can you take them and leave?" Chu Tian shouted to the Shattered Star.
"Insufficient power… can't move!" Kh3106’s voice came from the Shattered Star’s loudspeaker.
"Damn it…" Chu Tian cursed inwardly.
His expression shifted repeatedly, then a wry smile appeared on his face.
"Wei Jin… Xiao Hei… Miao Zuo… Chi Xue… Kh3106, are you afraid of dying?" Chu Tian asked with a hint of madness.
"Afraid… only idiots aren't afraid of dying…" Miao Zuo’s voice.
"Little Tian… can't it be stopped?" Wei Jin asked calmly.
"Holy cow… Boss, don't scare me!" Xiao Hei exclaimed in shock.
"I won't die…" Chi Xue said indifferently.
It was clear that Kh3106 had opened the Shattered Star’s voice system.
All their words could be broadcast publicly.
"Afraid or not, it's no use… Wei Jin guessed correctly, it can't be stopped!" Chu Tian said with a wry smile.
"However… there’s a coward who’s even more scared than us!" Chu Tian continued.
The coward he was referring to was the will of this small world.
"You…"
Just one word revealed the other party’s emotions.
Upon hearing Chu Tian’s words, it became even more anxious.
Clearly… it was truly afraid, and far less composed than Wei Jin and the others.
Chu Tian felt a pang of bitterness. He had originally just wanted to find a larger star to strike this small world.
Who would have thought he would go too far again.
A star… had been summoned.
How strong were the abilities of a demigod?
Actually, he didn't know… This was mainly because his physical body’s strength had increased.
It could withstand more divine power.
Although the avatar skill he activated was to summon an ancient demigod.
In reality… he hadn't reached the full strength of a demigod by a long shot.
Even now, the divine power he was enduring was merely a drop in the bucket.
Yet… even this drop in the bucket.
Was enough to possess world-ending capabilities.
Chu Tian attempted to convert the gravity of the forbidden spell into a pushing force.
After several attempts, he found he couldn't alter this power at all.
He had known long ago… this skill shouldn't be used carelessly.
It was practically a suicide skill.
Although when he first cast the skill, it had prompted him that he could set a gravity target.
Simultaneously… Chu Tian had gained an omniscient perspective in that instant.
However… he found that the eighth layer of the Sacred Spirit Realm could barely accommodate the area of effect of the forbidden spell… Meteor Swarm.
In his rage at the time, he had directly chosen to cast it at his current location.
Watching the fireball in the sky gradually grow larger.
It had already transformed from the size of a basketball to that of a washbasin.
The ripples it caused by its scorching aura were visible around it.
Within the small world, the temperature steadily rose. Aside from those within the mecha, creatures scattered across various locations were using their own means to resist the invasion of heat.
"It seems… we'll be roasted before the impact arrives!" Chu Tian said faintly.
The giant armored quail’s body gradually shrank.
Chu Tian’s true form was exposed.
He instantly felt the unbearable heat.
His clothes instantly turned to ashes.
Seeing this, the Shattered Star Mecha awkwardly rotated its body, and with its intact right hand, scooped up the falling Chu Tian.
A clicking sound came from its hand as a cavity appeared, and Chu Tian fell inside.
He entered something akin to a life pod.
After moving rapidly, the hatch opened.
Chu Tian emerged and found himself at the Shattered Star’s chest cavity.
"Boss, are you okay?" Xiao Hei rushed to support the weakened Chu Tian.
"I can't die yet… but it's close! I'm sorry to you all!"
Chu Tian’s gaze swept over everyone, making eye contact with each of them.
Only Chi Xue… had her back to him.
"Little Tian… before you die, put on some clothes first!"
Wei Jin said with a smile…
In his eyes, Chu Tian didn't show much fear or dread.
Such composure made Chu Tian admire him greatly!
"Uh…" It was then that Chu Tian noticed his completely nude state.
He quickly dressed himself.
Looking at everyone else, Miao Zuo showed fear and apprehension in his eyes, his gaze fixed on the fireball in the sky.
However… there was no trace of resentment in his gaze.
Chu Tian nodded, these friends were all excellent; he hadn't misjudged them.
Now that he had regained his senses, he still felt immense self-blame.
He had been so focused on fighting that he hadn't considered them.
*Bang… bang… bang…*
"Let me out… I don't want to die!"
High in the sky, muffled thuds suddenly echoed.
A faint, flickering shadow was repeatedly colliding with the hazy sky of the small world.
"As the will born within this small world, you wish to break free from its constraints?
To vainly escape alone… how ridiculous!
Truly, what kind of master, what kind of servant!"
An ancient voice sounded in everyone's ears.
Chu Tian was stunned…
Then his eyes lit up with joy.
"We're saved…"
This was the last sentence he spoke.
Then… he fainted while being supported by Xiao Hei.
