Chapter 345: Chapter 235: Diverting Calamity Eastward

The silver moon swept across the sky, leaving a brilliant star trail in the firmament. This beautiful scene added some vitality and splendor to the dead world.

However, it was filled with an indescribable hunger, greed, and overwhelming malice, like an ancient ferocious beast from the wild, cruel and violent!

"It thinks of you as food," Ye Wushuang said, staring at the silver moon that was getting closer.

"Many powerful supernatural beings will try to gain divinity by devouring divine creatures to embark on the road to divine enthronement. I encountered something similar in Europe!" Jiang Wuming shouted.

Zhou Yuan had no time to respond, his mind taut as he manipulated the Shadow Demon Pool to flee. That sinister moon was a product of Quasi-Immortal Principles, far beyond their level to combat. Even high-level extraordinary individuals could be killed by it.

The silver moon crossed the sky at great speed, the distance between it and Zhou Yuan and his companions now less than ten kilometers, almost brushing their faces.

Suddenly, the sinister moon trembled. A serene and clear light halo spread out, enveloping everything, creating a gentle yet pure and beautiful night scene.

This gentle moonlight, though seemingly soft, was actually full of terrifying destructive power. In an instant, nearly ten kilometers of red bloody earth exploded and collapsed, surging like tidal waves, one after another, the world shaking and rumbling.

The Shadow Demon Pool was thrown out, leaving Zhou Yuan with ringing ears and blurred vision. He nearly spat out a mouthful of blood, using all his strength to maintain the current situation.

He broke into a rapid speed, flying desperately to escape.

"Damn, this is of catastrophic level!" Jiang Wuming was almost scared out of his wits seeing this scene. With one strike shaking ten kilometers and destroying everything, it was undoubtedly a moving catastrophe!

"Fortunately, this thing doesn’t seem to have reality distortion ability; otherwise, we’d be in a hellish double row!"

"Shut your mouth!" Zhou Yuan almost spat blood. Talking nonsense could be deadly!

"Do you have any more tricks?" Ye Wushuang asked calmly. If Zhou Yuan had no solutions, she would have to intervene; this sinister moon was beyond their capacity to handle.

"Don’t worry, we’re almost there!"

Zhou Yuan gritted his teeth, using his shadow clone and replication skills to create thirty-two shadow clones, darting in different directions to confuse the sinister moon.

The sinister moon indeed took the bait, chasing a few demon shadows in the distance.

Zhou Yuan had infused a bit of Night Divine Power into the clones, making it impossible for the sinister moon to discern which one was the real Zhou Yuan. Hence, it chose the most brutal method—kill them all!

The sinister moon’s speed surged, cutting through the sky like a meteor, its cold moonlight scattering widely. The earth shattered, stones flying, and large swathes of land turned desolate, pits as deep as abyss appearing.

The farthest demon shadows were shattered into black mist, and the sinister moon immediately changed direction, heading for the next shadow clone.

Soon, most of the shadow clones were killed, and the sinister moon finally fixed its gaze on the real Zhou Yuan, swiftly crossing the sky to kill him.

Moonlight like water surged, raising a furious silver wave. The earth crumbled amidst the thunderous roar, the scene resembling an apocalypse, with all things wailing as they faced annihilation.

"We’re here!"

Ahead was the oasis!

As the sinister moon approached, the oasis seemed to sense something, suddenly quaking. The clear lake water boiled like it was brought to a boil!

An aura as powerful as the sinister moon’s awoke, flowing with vibrant life essence, making the pores of the body open and revive energy.

But this was merely an illusion; this oasis was also a deadly creature that devoured people alive!

Zhou Yuan glanced back at the approaching sinister moon and took out an item from his backpack.

Jiang Wuming looked closely and was stunned, his eyes widening in surprise, "Emergency Syrup?"

Without a word, Zhou Yuan hurled the Emergency Syrup with all his might into the lake of the oasis and then circumvented the oasis, avoiding this place.

"What use does that have?" Jiang Wuming looked back, shocked to find that the sinister moon suddenly seemed to go insane and charged straight into the oasis, crashing into the clear lake and causing huge waves!

What the hell?!

Jiang Wuming was astonished. Just now, the sinister moon clearly intended to avoid the oasis. Why did it suddenly dive in??

Ye Wushuang showed a strange expression. The artifacts and items in this world were truly peculiar.

"It worked?"

The Emergency Syrup was an item Zhou Yuan had drawn a long time ago but never had the chance to use. Now it was just a gamble, considering the item was of normal quality and might not affect a being of the sinister moon’s level.

But it had unexpectedly succeeded.

It seemed that the quality of many items did not determine their true power. For example, a tank shell of ordinary quality could still cause fatal damage to low and middle ranks extraordinary beings...

Boom!

The sleeping oasis fully awoke, exuding a terrifying aura, shaking the vast earth.

Zhou Yuan and his companions could all feel a significant... rage!

The oasis was extremely furious. It had been sleeping peacefully, and while being occasionally disturbed was tolerable, an unseeing idiot had now charged directly in, completely disregarding it!

Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble!!!

The clear lake water boiled, endless waves crashing, the earth and sky shaking.

The roar of a tsunamic wave sounded, deafening and boundless in scale. Chains of divine order woven from energy crisscrossed, runes clashing, and immeasurable divine light blossomed.

The oasis began battling the sinister moon!

The life-and-death struggle between the two monstrosities erupted with unmatched powerful waves. The blazing light engulfed heaven and earth, rendering all things dull.

Zhou Yuan immediately fled, running over fifty kilometers without stopping, yet still sensing the energy waves from afar, making his heart pound anxiously.

This battle lasted just over ten minutes when suddenly, a silver moon covered in cracks shot skyward, fleeing in a sorry state.

At this time, the sinister moon had shrunk significantly, only a tenth of its original size, clearly unable to match the oasis.

Trees swayed in the oasis, the lake water splashing the sky, unleashing an unparalleled law force. Countless runes flickered, like stars blanketing the sinister moon, extracting its essence.

The sinister moon’s form visibly shrank, eventually exploding into a silver glow and moon dust, scattering down.

Rumble, rumble...

After killing the sinister moon, the oasis seemed to grow legs and began moving far away, tired of this place, seeking a new area for slumber.

The turmoil subsided.

The desolate world of a thousand miles in red returned to silence.

Zhou Yuan and his companions carefully approached the spot where the sinister moon had fallen. From a distance, they saw the ground covered in a thick layer of crystalline moon dust, shimmering silver with some remaining essence.

Meanwhile, this area had also blossomed with numerous runes, resplendent and dazzling, occasionally forming into silver moon shadows, imprints of the principles.

Ye Wushuang was somewhat surprised, "You are lucky; this is the incomplete Supreme Yin Principles. It appears that the Nine Nether Heavenly Phoenix had cultivated the Supreme Yin Scripture."

At this moment, Zhou Yuan’s Primordial Yin-Yang Body started operating on its own, capturing all of those silver moon runes. Dark matter surged, the return to ruins was activated, turning into a furnace to seal, refine, and absorb the Supreme Yin Principles’ traces.

At this moment, Zhou Yuan’s pores opened, dark light overflowing, and a burst of the Power of Taiyin spread from his body, freezing cold and bone-chilling, freezing the ground, and condensing the moisture in the air into ice.

"Phew..."

He exhaled a breath containing frost, feeling as if the blood flowing in his veins was no longer hot but surged like cold tides of extreme darkness. This power permeated every inch of his body, seeming to freeze his soul bit by bit.

He could not feel any warmth, his body temperature dropping to freezing point, his heartbeat slowing to nearly non-existence.

"Something’s wrong..."

Zhou Yuan felt as if he had become a living dead. This state was almost indistinguishable from death!

"It’s a normal phenomenon. Find some solar power for your Yang body to absorb, and you’ll be balanced." Ye Wushuang advised him not to panic.

Zhou Yuan carefully sensed it for a while and comprehended many things from the incomplete Supreme Yin Principles. But time was limited, so he soon came out of it, activated the return to ruins, and absorbed all the silver luminous moon dust into his system backpack.

Even though much essence had been lost from this moon dust, it could still be sold for a considerable price due to the sinister moon’s level.

In the end, Zhou Yuan sold most of the moon dust, gaining eight hundred thousand star coins. He then threw the remaining small portion into the Dark Plane, as these items were a great supplement to dark creatures.

"Let’s go, we’ve wasted too much time. Hopefully, no one has succeeded yet."

Zhou Yuan controlled the Shadow Demon Pool to delve deeper into the Chaotic Domain. After more than ten minutes, they saw over a dozen figures ahead, the Evil Alliance members from earlier!

But these people were currently in an odd state, seemingly having encountered some danger. They were fleeing, but no matter how far they ran, they would refresh back to their original position.
