But no matter how strong Yun Han is, he is still only a Tenth Rank Beastman; how could he possibly defeat the Earth Vein Illusion Beast?

This was essentially a trade of life for life.

Using his life to buy a sliver of hope for the team!

The disparity in strength is vast; the lean and agile Silver Wolf appears as small as a feeble sparrow before the colossal creature.

The Illusion Beast slammed down with a heavy palm that could easily crush him into pulp, only to find there was still a gap from the ground.

The Silver Wolf gritted his teeth, forming a thick ice wall overhead, withstands the blow.

Under the almost crushing pressure, the Silver Wolf’s eyes turned red, and his sharp fangs bared outside his lips, struggling to fend off the attack, desperately resisting with all his strength.

After bitterly holding for several seconds, the giant beast suddenly exerted force, shattering the ice wall with a tremendous crash.

Just before the ice wall collapsed, the Silver Wolf rolled away and slashed an Ice Blade toward the Earth Vein Illusion Beast, yet it couldn’t even penetrate its outer defenses, leaving no mark!

The battle situation was entirely one-sided; Yun Han couldn’t hold on for long, like a mouse being toyed with by a cat, covered in wounds, barely alive.

Until he reached his limit, a massive Silver Wolf’s phantom appeared behind him, resembling an image of heaven and earth, with a slowly rotating bright moon behind the phantom; suddenly, his aura surged.

Both sides clashed together again.

The commotion echoed through the heavens and earth, changing the colors of the world.

More and more Mutant Species and Snow Beasts gathered toward this place.

The Silver Wolf was covered in injuries, its fur almost stained with blood, with blood splattering over the snowy mountains.

Gong Ge carried his sister, leading the team in a desperate sprint forward, the commotion behind them getting further yet more terrifying, making his heart ache, and his vision gradually blurred.

But they couldn’t look back, they could only run for their lives, the farther the better!

Until a thunderous explosion sounded behind them!

Gong Ge’s footsteps halted for a moment, he suddenly turned back, his eyes reddening instantly.

"Captain..."

Yun Han self-destructed.

To cover the fleeing populace, he perished along with the Illusion Beast.

A hundred-zhang glacier collapsed thunderously, swallowing him and the giant beast together, burying them beneath the abyss.

Yet he couldn’t even retrieve his body.

Gong Ge forced back his choking sobs, turned around and successfully led the team out of the Snow Domain.

They wanted to flee to a safer place.

But now, where is safe?

The situation inland in the Empire is just as dire, even the Imperial City, hailed as the strongest fortress, has half fallen.

A sudden earthquake swept the entire area, collapsing buildings, causing countless Beastman casualties.

The Mutant Species in the polluted land also became exceptionally active, trying to breach the border defenses, fortunately Shen Tang and the others had foresight, planting an impregnable Purification Tree wall on the Empire’s edge.

The Mutant Species feared the power of the Purification Tree, firmly blocked outside the border, struggling to breach the defenses.

Countries previously joining the Dawn Alliance also received Purification Tree Seeds, preemptively planting a circle along the borders adjoining the polluted land.

Regrettably, many places planted not much, too short a time, roots hadn’t deepened, the consecutive earthquakes uprooted numerous trees!

If the Purification Tree wall develops a breach, those intelligent High-level Mutant Species seize the opportunity to infiltrate.

Not to mention some later joining countries did not have time to plant Purification Trees, swiftly turned into ruins occupied by the Mutant Species.

Exiled refugees seek sanctuary in major countries.

The Night Glow Empire and several other major countries took in numerous migrants, but had to conduct quarantine inspections.

Yet at the crux of life and death, these migrants merely wish to survive, willing to climb over walls to smuggle through, difficult to block those who slip through the net!

Thus, the first Beastman to sneak in and get bitten mutated in a very short time.

The mutated Beastman then went to bite other healthy Beastmen...

Soon, the refuge once again fell.

The streets are full of screaming people fleeing, chaos everywhere.

The more chaotic, the quicker they die!

Hu Yun urgently leads to maintain order, spotting a girl shivering in a corner of a nearby alley, clutching a basket of unsold flowers.

The figure seemed familiar.

"...Is that you? It’s dangerous here, follow us!" Hu Yun recognizes the girl from the flower shop, swooping forward wanting to pull her away, suddenly facing a pair of pitch-black eyes.

Her face had already contorted into a hideous mutation, terrifyingly menacing, growling low from her throat, she lunges forward with her fangs!

Fortunately, Hu Yun reacted quickly, swiftly dodging, while a gunshot sounded from behind, a fellow Beastman shot the Mutant Species dead.

Hu Yun looked at the girl lying in a pool of blood and the trampled flowers, his chest heaved a few times, silently leading the team to continue clearing out the infected among the crowd.

There are too many infected Beastmen, the blood serum is no longer useful, they can only kill!

The blood moon hung high in the azure sky, coldly overlooking the chaos and death below, the wind carrying mocking laughter.

...

The Yunding Empire, acclaimed for possessing the bravest Feather Clan warriors, also faced the most terrifying hurricane and earthquake in its history!

Most of the Feather Clan lived in highland mountains, the destruction brought by earthquakes and hurricanes more severe than on plains.

The major cities turned into ruins in an instant, hardly recognizable.

Even the Floating City State where the Imperial Palace resided also fell.

The disasters struck without warning, many Feather Clan Beastmen were crushed on the spot.

Worse still, the infected bird-beasts and flying Mutant Species can cross the Purification Tree woods from high in the sky to directly assault, hard to stop, causing heavy casualties.

In the face of national turmoil, the divided Three Kings could only join forces against the enemy.

But soon followed the powerful Deputies, unleashing distorted and terrifying experimental subjects, even the Three Kings struggled to contend, Yunding Empire suffered countless deaths and injuries.

In the endless slaughter,

countless Feathered Beasts fell from the sky,

turning the valley into a graveyard.

...

The situation in the sea area was no better than on land.

Earthquakes triggered tsunamis, destroying over half the cities. Most frighteningly, the seal of the Forgotten Sea completely shattered!

The old monsters originally confined within all escaped, even the hundred-year-old giants, an existential crisis for the Sea Country.

Jialouluo personally led the team into battle,

but also exposed her lack of superpower, severely injured.

Eldest Princess Jatasha covered her mother’s retreat.

Prince and Princess all went to the frontline, fighting shoulder to shoulder with the generals.

Only the youngest Mermaid Prince clung to a golden-haired mermaid child, hiding in the underground palace for refuge.

The deep blue sea area stained by black fog and blood.

Countless limbs floated in the water, indistinguishable whether Beastman or Mutant Species.

...

The Yiyuan Empire’s volcano erupted continuously.

The raging wildfires, scorching heat, Beastmen unable to tolerate the suddenly worsened environment, could only start fleeing.

Qiu Yang and the generals led the commoners in evacuation, yet countless Beastmen were devoured by fire, buried by earthquakes, killed by Mutant Beasts... the once homeland thoroughly became a hellish human-devouring pit.

From the moment the Star Gate opened,

the entire continent fell into chaos.

Mountain collapses, ground fissures, tsunamis, avalanches, volcanoes, hurricanes... ravaged the world, devastating all forms of life.

The continent is collapsing, life being brutally harvested, everywhere is devastated, corpses littered, cries and screams ceaselessly echo.

Beastmen desperately try to escape, seeking sanctuary, yet many till death never find it.

They cannot see hope for the future,

this world seemingly ushered in the apocalypse.
