"burst!"
As Shan Yu uttered the word "explode," the divine platform space seemed to receive a command.
Boom—
A loud bang rang out.
Then the clicking sound continued.
The entire altar space shook violently, and then, like porcelain, countless cracks appeared.
Cracks spread, covering the entire space.
call--
Rich spiritual energy from heaven and earth poured in through the spatial rift.
Even the powerful divine senses of Lu Tao, Shan Yu, and others were unable to stand steadily, staggering as they were blown away by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, flung around like rag dolls.
The next moment.
Lu Tao felt the world spin around him, and his whole body felt light.
He suddenly realized that he had appeared outside the divine altar space, and his consciousness had returned to his body.
at this time.
Not only him, but also Shan Yu and the other Martial King clones have returned to the ninth level of the Divine Platform, and they are appearing in physical form.
Lu Tao subconsciously scanned his surroundings.
In that instant, the entire Divine Platform Secret Realm underwent earth-shattering changes: seawater overflowed, the earth cracked, and lightning flashed and thunder roared...
It looks like the end of the world.
The altar beneath their feet was constantly crumbling.
boom--
There was no time to think.
Almost as soon as Lu Tao, Shan Yu and the others appeared, a series of rumbling sounds suddenly echoed in the void.
The next moment.
Powerful bursts of energy emanated from the top of the altar and its interior.
Dan Yu, Wu Wang's clone, and the others were almost powerless to resist and were directly blasted into the sky, their bodies subjected to endless explosive bombardment every moment.
Even with their immense strength, surpassing even those at the Divine Platform realm, they still coughed up blood repeatedly amidst the devastating explosion.
He was seriously injured.
All the defensive artifacts and shields that were thrown out were shattered.
As for Lu Tao...
During the explosion, Lu Tao decisively retrieved the safe house and slipped inside.
Although the safe house was thrown far away by the shockwave, the formation was not broken, and Lu Tao was not injured.
Compared to Lu Tao, Shan Yu, and others, the others in the Divine Platform Secret Realm were not so lucky.
——
This occurred long before Lu Tao and the others left the Divine Platform space.
On the altar.
The cultivators who were fighting in the illusion or in the midst of enlightenment were instantly killed by the explosion without their knowledge.
Not one, not two.
Instead, hundreds of innate cultivators were instantly and tragically killed.
The protective shields surrounding them burst instantly, like balloons, offering absolutely no defense.
"not good!"
In front of the altar.
Upon seeing this, He Yuanshuang, Wu Ming, Kong Xin, and others' expressions changed drastically.
He Yuanshuang and Wu Ming reacted swiftly, instantly placing the array plate at their feet, enveloping everyone around them.
Boom—
A powerful explosion struck, impacting the formation.
Click-click—
Just one breath.
The three powerful formations, all capable of withstanding a single blow from the Martial King, were immediately broken and destroyed.
Snap!
With a crisp sound, He Yuanshuang's third-tier array plate shattered into fragments the instant the three arrays were broken.
Everyone looked horrified and filled with fear.
boom--
The residual force of the explosion, after breaking through the three arrays set up by He Yuanshuang, then bombarded the three arrays set up by Wu Ming's third-tier array plate.
Click, click—
Two more sounds of shattering rang out, and two more defensive formations were broken.
As the remaining explosive force struck the last defensive formation, everyone's hearts leaped into their throats.
Buzz~~~
final.
The last defensive formation swayed under the impact of the remaining force... but it held on and was not breached.
call!
This moment.
The dozens of survivors within the formation, their pale faces showing expressions of relief, breathed a sigh of relief.
then.
Everyone looked bewildered.
What happened?
"The altar looks like it exploded?"
Why is this happening?
Dozens of people were completely bewildered, staring at the crumbling altar outside the formation, the island destroyed by the endless explosive force, and the vast ocean filled with lightning and thunder...
Everyone looked terrified and somewhat at a loss.
——
"ah……"
"Help!"
"Someone, please save us..."
On the island.
Thousands of cultivators were originally cultivating within their respective formations.
But at this moment.
As the altar exploded, a powerful shockwave swept over everyone.
Whether they were at the late stage of the Innate Realm or at the peak of the Innate Realm, they perished instantly under such powerful explosive force.
The formation they set up was crushed like a bubble.
"No……"
"Why??"
The shockwave from the explosion swept past, and one after another, the innate powerhouses perished in the blast, their bodies never to be found.
"They...sigh..."
Inside the formation.
Seeing the cultivators dying one after another on the island, Kong Xin, Han Yi, Zhao Miaotong and the others all showed their reluctance.
However, there was nothing they could do about it.
"Brother Lu!"
at this time.
He Yuanshuang, who had been keeping a close eye on the ninth floor of the altar, finally spotted Lu Tao. However, as soon as Lu Tao emerged, he was engulfed by the explosion of the altar space.
This made He Yuanshuang's face turn pale instantly.
Wu Ming, Kong Xin, and others couldn't help but worry.
The explosion was simply too powerful.
But then they discovered that Lu Tao, who had hidden in the safe house, was completely unharmed.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The next moment.
They no longer cared about Lu Tao.
Because the aftershocks of the explosion in the altar space had already poured down on them from the ninth floor of the altar, crashing down in an overwhelming manner.
"careful!"
Everyone protected by the formation couldn't help but contribute their vital energy to replenish its power.
at the same time.
Some people used their internal energy techniques to create layers of defensive shields, enveloping dozens of people.
Boom—
The aftershocks of the explosion followed.
The last defensive formation held out for only three breaths before being breached and slammed into the defensive shield erected by the group.
puff--
Just one impact.
The shield shattered.
Dozens of people were all sent flying in an instant, each coughing up blood as they flew backward, their faces as pale as paper.
Those who were slightly weaker were killed instantly by the impact.
Most people were seriously injured, and even the few powerful ones were not without their injuries.
This was merely the aftershock of the explosion in the divine platform space, and most of the force was absorbed by Lu Tao and the others.
otherwise.
If these people had faced the explosion directly, probably none of them would have survived.
"Get out of here quickly."
Those who survived were all pale and bloodless, their bodies weak and feeble. They all fled the altar and the center of the island with lingering fear, flying outwards.
After moving away from the altar.
Everyone turned to look towards the altar.
There.
It is already devastated.
The altar had long since disappeared, and the remains were scattered everywhere.
At the heart of the island, a destructive vortex seemed poised to devour everything; a single glance was enough to send shivers down one's spine.
The island's vegetation, giant trees, and other vegetation were all wiped out.
Those cultivators also vanished without a trace.
Then, everyone subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Unfortunately, I didn't see anything.
Lu Tao and the others had long since disappeared.
at this time.
Everyone guessed that the explosion at the altar must be related to Lu Tao and the people who appeared from the ninth floor of the altar.
only.
They all wisely refrained from mentioning the matter.
They didn't know who caused the explosion of the altar.
They survived only thanks to the two people beside Lu Tao; otherwise, they would be dead by now.
Zhao Miaotong and Mu Yihan, in particular, felt a wave of fear mixed with relief.
They had just finished their cultivation and were preparing to ascend the divine platform to challenge it.
It turned out that He Yuanshuang, Kong Xin, and the others, having heard that Lu Tao had successfully challenged the ninth level of the Divine Platform, temporarily refrained from going up the platform, intending to see what Lu Tao had gained.
Instead, they were trapped by He Yuanshuang and Wu Ming's formation and survived.
——
The secret realm exploded, from the inside out.
The inner perimeter, especially near the altar and in the center of the island, was the most devastated.
The center of the island.
Apart from the dozens of people rescued by He Yuanshuang and Wu Ming, almost no one else survived.
Even on the outskirts of the island, those who are not strong enough and lack the ability to protect themselves will find it difficult to survive.
In the vast ocean.
The sky was dark and covered with thick black clouds. Endless lightning bolts descended from the sky, striking the sea that was rushing towards the sky.
The ferocious beasts in the sea were continuously cleaved to death.
That lightning power was even stronger than a grandmaster's attack.
Seeing the corpses of Soul-Refining Fish constantly emerging from the flooded seawater, no one had any thoughts in their minds, only fear.
because.
The seawater was also churning with a large number of cultivator corpses.
The corpses of ferocious beasts and cultivators fell from the overflowing seawater and the sky like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, sending chills down one's spine.
The periphery.
In the endless mountains and forests.
Similarly, lightning flashed, accompanied by celestial fire; the ground cracked, and subterranean flames surged—
In an instant, the entire mountain forest was transformed into an endless sea of fire.
Countless ferocious beasts and cultivators perished in the sea of fire amidst their shrill screams.
Heavenly fire, earthly fire—
Even the innate realm couldn't extinguish it; he was burned alive.
——
The secret realm self-destructed, its interior resembling the end of the world.
This also affected areas outside the secret realm...
