CHAPTER 1079: 1077: ANOMALOUS APOCALYPSE

[Jile Realm and Sky Clear Heaven]

Above the clouds, the third large cave in Lung Mountain, spanning five thousand miles, is known as the Yellow Extreme Mysterious Aura Heaven. .

This is the Cave Heaven Blessed Land of the Golden Lung Venerable, where tens of thousands of aura cultivators who practice lung techniques roam, the golden aura around the mountain linking everyone’s breath into a collective breathing circle, instantly detecting any intrusion from outsiders.

The Great Annihilation is imminent,

everyone is on high alert,

the normally crowded Cultivation Hall stands empty, as the coming war directly concerns the survival of the entire Divine Domain, making all cultivation at this moment pointless.

However, the Golden Lung Venerable chose this moment to retreat into seclusion, shutting himself in the Inner Mountain chamber, seemingly holding some unspeakable secret.

Just then,

a communicator responsible for contacting other Divine Domains quickly arrived at the secluded Inner Mountain entrance through exposed lung tubes with a jet-like construction.

Although the dense golden lung aura here is strong, it is mixed with something impure, even infectious.

The communicator also prepared by wearing a special mask issued by the sect to filter out impurities in the air.

There is no guard in the Inner Mountain area,

just as the communicator put on the mask and took no steps forward, he heard coughing sounds coming from the depths, the sound, despite the distance and obstructions, reached him clearly and even made him feel the urge to cough.

This unsettling feeling forced him to retract all his exposed lung organs into his body.

Given the urgency, he proceeded at maximum speed to the depths of the Inner Mountain, eventually reaching a hundred-meter giant Stone Door, behind which the coughing originated.

The lung organs were exposed again, expanding in a trumpet shape as much as possible.

"Master! Urgent news... [Avalon] has sent a red alert, suspected invasion by the Ninth Disaster."

Cough cough cough!

The Stone Door opened.

Countless germ spores spread out from within, the Golden Lung Venerable leaned weakly in the Corner, resembling nothing of his former Divine Statue, instead appearing like a tuberculosis ghost worsened by illness. ꞦＡℕȰВËṦ

Bloodless face, emaciated skin and bones, expelling a buff-colored breath mixed with golden-yellow tuberculosis bacteria (divine pathological change) from his mouth.

"Cough cough~ Avalon is the place with the fewest gods, the smallest and most secret divine chosen land, cough~ Artificial Divinity cannot create heroes there, it is regarded as the only pure land in the Divine Domain.

The precise arrival of the apocalyptic disaster suggests one thing... the [Great Annihilation] has begun early."

"What! It’s started this quickly! Master, if you’re certain, I will immediately inform everyone on the other mountains."

"I will notify them... cough!"

A giant cough!

The Golden Lung Venerable expelled the most critical part of himself, the Supreme Golden Lung, which houses his Divine Status, leaving the remaining physical body to perish instantly.

Seeing the ’Supreme Golden Lung’ fall to the ground, it was utterly different from what had been recorded in books. Instead of feeling any worship or longing, the communicator felt a nauseating urge to vomit.

It was a completely pathological lung, covered with golden, granular spherical protrusions, even branching into structures like small grapevines, with each lung tube continuously exhaling pathogen, pus oozing.

The diseased Supreme Golden Lung flew into the sky, leaving the Inner Mountain, arriving at the highest mountain cliff,

where the enormous Heavenly Net Golden Horn was established.

Reconstructing the external body of the Golden Lung Venerable with the Golden Lung at the core,

still manifesting as a tuberculosis ghost, yet the Venerable himself felt no discomfort, instead, the combination of divine nature and plague, along with this period of seclusion, allowed him to achieve unprecedented advancements, glimpsing more distant domains.

Breathing fully,

mouth enveloping the horn’s mouth,

a resounding sound spread throughout Jile Realm and Sky Clear Heaven.

Annihilation is upon us!

...

[Avalon - Hero’s Hometown]

As the Golden Lung Venerable stated, this Divine Domain is the smallest, most secretive, roughly equivalent to a secluded island.

It does not accept gods combined with Artificial Divinity,

only those who have achieved immense honor, made exceptional contributions to the world, and immortalized through history, self-elevating through heroism condensating Divine Status can reach Avalon.

The gods here are closer to mortals,

with various arenas, large Libraries, and hunting grounds being part of Avalon’s standard,

yet this utopia was swiftly veiled by an imperishable apocalyptic shadow.

Fifteen minutes ago,

a Hunting Team responsible for external patrol discovered a beached zombie at the island edge, seemingly unconscious.

Though they had pre-obtained intelligence on the Ninth Disaster, they refrained from rashly executing it, instead opting to bind the target with a special trapping net.

However, as the trap net descended, there was no sign of the zombie on the shoal.

The team all but collapsed, each having chunks bitten off from their bodies, the net-throwing Captain witnessed an unforgettable scene, the zombie had torn open his abdomen, and was devouring his intestines.

The speed was so rapid that it was untraceable, or rather the zombie’s motion was erased by some unknown force, rendering it swift,

"How can this be! The intelligence about the Ninth Disaster is incorrect... why is it so fast?"

The zombie virus quickly permeated the Captain’s entire body, his consciousness overwhelmed by numerous viruses, yet before completely losing awareness, he noticed a few anomalies.

Though he couldn’t relay more information in time, he managed to send out a few words.

[Zombies are here!]

The island’s central city-state immediately raised the highest-level alert, calling back patrolling heroes to implement regional lockdowns across the island.

Several transparent barriers spanning the sky divided the island into eighteen regions.

Moreover, the topographical structures of different regions were changing,

Supreme Divine Status - Arthur Pendragon, along with many distinguished heroes, renowned figures stood atop the castle, overlooking the entire island’s situation.

Ensuring the safe return of patrolling heroes uninfected by zombies, consolidating all power for ultimately joining forces with other Divine Domain reinforcements to perform a [Joint Seal] against the zombies.

Of course, any external heroes suspected of contact with zombies would be isolated by barriers.

Currently, the situation seemed manageable, with only two squads attacked and infected,

perplexing to King Arthur, was the fact that,

the heroes within these squads were indeed exceptional, aware of the zombie-related intelligence, they wouldn’t rashly act leading to infection, yet they were unable to transmit more information back.

This led King Arthur to suspect the invaders might not solely be zombies,

alas, all external heroes had safely returned, going through purification spring’s checks, without any signs of infection, they only needed to hold the city-state steady to prevent infection outbreaks.

At this instant,

the lone zombie, representing the [Apocalyptic Disaster], appeared on a mountaintop a kilometer away,

as each hero looked, they immediately found the zombie to differ from the impression of the Ninth Disaster, also noticing an incongruent sword in the zombie’s hand.

King Arthur instantly recognized it, "This is! The radiant Clarent... Modred! This is bad!"

Modred was indeed the Captain of a Hunting Team, also one of his knights.

Just as King Arthur quickly decided to sever ties, aiming to use Space Magic to send Modred out of the city-state, the zombie on the high mountain suddenly raised the sharp sword in his hand, decapitating himself.

[Malicious Trigger]

The sword’s owner. Modred, immediately fell to deep infection by the zombie virus, instantly turned zombie-like, and bit a teammate.

The apocalyptic miasma began to spread among the city-state.
