Chapter 1047 The Great Hole (Part 3)

"That’s a World-Ending Level Demon!" Wang An immediately shouted upon realizing it.

Fear appeared on the faces of the others in the team, not because they heard the name, but because they sensed the tangible terror spreading through the air, causing their bodies to instinctively tremble.

Everyone simultaneously sped forward, appearing eager to escape in a chaotic rush.

"Do not panic, stay behind me!" The Flame King scolded, and fiery footprints appeared behind him, rising with steaming heat.

Under such immense pressure, not everyone followed obediently, each harboring their own thoughts, especially since the White Ice Illusion Mist currently presented no obvious monsters.

An old man in tattered Taoist robes suddenly dashed forward, plunging into the White Ice Illusion Mist, disappearing instantly.

Due to the presence of the Crimson Flame Divine Lamp, even King Yan’s speed couldn’t increase further; this was already the fastest. Any faster and the flame would extinguish, and they would all be engulfed by the white mist.

They all understood this was an extremely dangerous situation, but compared to the thing behind them, it was uncertain which was more perilous.

Someone thought to follow the old man and run forward, but immediately heard a clear scream, the old man’s voice, which dispelled any thoughts of leaving. When they moved forward a little further, they indeed saw the old man’s corpse, with a large hole in his chest and his head bitten into a mangled mess.

Wang An took a deep breath: "Such a terrible death, who knows what he encountered... No one should act on their own, or else face this fate!"

From that point on, no one dared to leave on their own, remaining closely behind the Flame King. At some unknown moment, the gigantic figure behind them had vanished.

This only added to the anxiety, as that thing could appear near them at any moment.

Even though they had so many Tier Five Extraordinaries, encountering a World-Ending Level Demon would spell their doom; at that point, survival itself would be a luxury.

Fortunately, they eventually made it out, spotting the silhouette of the Celestial Gate Token from afar, and everyone felt relieved.

However, upon arrival, they neither witnessed the anticipated war nor saw the Ice Kingdom’s army; the battle seemed to have just subsided.

Wang An roughly guessed the situation: "Looks like we made a pointless trip."

John turned back to look at the White Ice Illusion Mist, deep in thought: "Not necessarily, the White Ice Illusion Mist has undergone significant changes; things are not as simple as they seem. We should first go and understand the situation."

Sanna nodded, not objecting to John’s words for once: "Indeed, that’s the case."

The group rushed to the camp at the Celestial Gate Token and met Qi Mountain, who was still there, and learned about the previous situation.

The Flame King couldn’t help but sigh: "So that Great Power entered the White Ice Illusion Mist, so selfless and fearless, truly a model for us."

Wang An didn’t expect Su Changxing to be so formidable, single-handedly repelling the Ice Kingdom’s army and even counterattacking into the White Ice Illusion Mist, murmuring:

"Brother Su is excessively brave, even if he’s a Tier Four Extraordinary, he shouldn’t be so reckless."

The Flame King looked back: "Wang An, do you know this Great Power?"

Wang An thought for a moment, feigning modesty: "I suppose I know him, back then he didn’t have the strength he has now. It’s surprising how he advanced so much in such a short time. Alas, the gap between people is indeed far greater than that between humans and dogs."

"In that case, the anomalies in the White Ice Illusion Mist were probably caused by this Su... Great Power."

Sanna shook her head: "Not necessarily, the White Ice Illusion Mist’s drastic change is what caused this incident..."

As everyone was conversing, the room suddenly fell silent, the smell of fear permeating the air, coiling around everyone’s skin like a cold serpent.

They all turned to look towards the White Ice Illusion Mist, as the air currents rapidly surged, the white mist parting to reveal a pale, slender yet gigantic hand extending from deep within and slamming heavily on the ground.

In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains quivered.

"The Calamity Level Demon has emerged!"

Wang An widened his eyes, showing disbelief. Although they had sensed the presence of this World-Ending Level Demon before, they also knew that many creatures within the White Ice Illusion Mist existed between reality and illusion, unable to leave, thinking this demon was one of them.

It was over.

Everyone present shared the same thought, involuntarily stepping back two paces.

If a World-Ending Level Demon truly attacked the Celestial Gate Token, they absolutely couldn’t hold it.

"Retreat!"

"Everyone fall back inside the Celestial Gate!"

Qi Mountain immediately issued orders without any hesitation.

The troops, already pushing to the edge, quickly withdrew, retreating gradually back inside the Celestial Gate, but they were still a step too late.

The demon had caught up.
