Chapter 1587: Chapter 667: The Despair-Inducing Destruction Level

Hiss——

Hearing Wang Tao’s words, everyone instinctively took a step back.

However, realizing they were currently on the back of the Golden Eagle, far away from the [Great Drought]’s range, they stopped in their tracks.

The group exchanged awkward glances but didn’t have the mood to tease one another, their eyes fixed intently on the drought-ravaged areas.

"Destruction Domain..."

In truth, this was Wang Tao’s first time directly sensing the existence of the "Destruction Domain." If not for the vegetation on the ground being reduced to ash and the land cracking apart due to drought, he wouldn’t have been able to see the domain’s boundaries. At most, he’d merely sense that the Fire Element nearby was unusually active—otherwise, everything seemed normal.

And considering how hot it was now, the Fire Element being active was perfectly normal. So in Wang Tao’s view, everything before him actually seemed fine!

Last time, Wang Tao had been instantly killed by the Destruction Domain because he hadn’t noticed anything. Without any preparation, his HP and Shield were suddenly reduced to zero.

After learning that ascending to the Seventh Level could grant one the ability to grasp "Domains," Wang Tao speculated this might be a type of area-based ability. But he hadn’t expected domains to be so silent and untraceable, leaving one completely defenseless. If luck wasn’t on your side and you crossed its path, death was inevitable!

"I don’t know if only the Destruction Domain behaves like this, or if all domains are this way? Or maybe it’s just that my strength is too weak to sense the existence of a domain?"

Wang Tao had no definitive answer to this question in his heart.

But one thing was certain: with their current strength, there was no way they could defeat this Destruction-level Monster.

Thud, thud, thud——

In the distance, the Magma Monster was moving leisurely, as if taking a stroll, its Destruction Domain shifting along with it. Wherever it passed, there was nothing but drought.

Wang Tao wanted to determine the exact range of this Destruction Domain, if only to have a better sense of it. He instructed the Golden Eagle to cautiously circle the outer perimeter of the Destruction Domain.

After a round of basic measurements, everyone’s expressions turned grim.

"The range of its Destruction Domain appears to be circular. The outermost edge of the domain is about 10 kilometers away from its core... That means its Destruction Domain spans an area of over 300 square kilometers! That’s larger than many towns and comparable to the size of some small counties!"

While the group had sensed the domain’s range was massive, they hadn’t grasped the exact scale. Given that this place had been completely reduced to drought, with nothing left but magma and barren land, there were no reference points to measure. As a result, their perception of the domain’s magnitude wasn’t very clear.

Now that it was described this way, they finally realized just how vast the Destruction Domain was!

And this was a domain that could instantly kill Sixth Rank Awakened beings like them!

A range so large, damage so lethal, and completely silent while in motion... If this thing reached a human settlement, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Wang Tao suddenly felt a sense of relief. The last time he went to check on the Magma Monster in the cave near the Red Maple base after noticing a fire, fortunately, it hadn’t come out. Back then, Wang Tao didn’t know the domain’s range. If he’d gotten slightly closer and the monster suddenly emerged, he wouldn’t have survived...

"How on earth can monsters like this exist? This is just insane, damn it!"

Xiang Hongbin’s face darkened, full of resentment, feeling as though the heavens were unjust.

It would be one thing if there were only one such monster, but now there were at least two. Based on Wang Tao and the others’ speculation, considering the global temperature rise by several dozen degrees, the number of Destruction-level Magma Monsters lurking underground must far exceed their expectations!

If these monsters all surfaced, they wouldn’t even need to do anything. Just a few casual strolls across the land, and humanity would be effectively wiped out!

"Destruction-level, Destruction-level... It’s literally here to destroy humanity!"

Wei Zhenguo, usually an optimist, was now tinged with pessimism.

"We can’t beat this, there’s no way we can beat this..."

The others were equally despairing, as if they could already envision humanity’s demise.

No matter how boldly they dared to imagine, they couldn’t think of a way for people like them to kill such a horrifying creature—not even the slightest glimmer of a chance...

And even if, by some miracle, they could kill it, they wouldn’t dare to. Once the monster died, the range of the Destruction Domain wouldn’t disappear—it would expand!

"Wang Tao..."

Instinctively, everyone turned to Wang Tao.

In the apocalypse, the key to keeping one’s Spirit intact was having hope! As long as hope existed, however faint, people would fight for it.

But now, everyone felt their hope vanish completely. Humanity seemed bound for extinction—what was the point of fighting so hard? They might as well surrender to destruction...

Even someone as confident in humanity’s future as Qu Shilin felt lost. Did humanity even have a future...

Wang Tao was their anchor. So in their despair, they instinctively turned to him.

Although Wang Tao’s expression was grim, he showed no trace of confusion. Seeing the looks on everyone’s faces, he immediately spoke:

"Stay strong! At least this thing can’t fly, and it doesn’t seem to have any intent to attack. It’s just wandering around... This buys us precious time, and with time comes a sliver of hope, and that hope..."

Drawing a deep breath, Wang Tao continued, his voice firm.
