Otherworldly Desert Dust

"Has your hearing upgraded to the Second Rank?" Mingyi asked.

She clearly had no idea her character was starting to crumble a bit.

Wu Hen did not expose this, he just nodded and said, "It should be. Now I have a hearing level that roughly reaches the charm of elegance. Any slight noise in a small town can be instantly captured by me."

"What’s the charm of elegance?" Mingyi was full of question marks.

"It’s the Head-cutting Evil Spirit, a Desert Dust creature with exceptionally strong hearing that I encountered during my first entry into Otherworldly Dust. It instantly hunts down anything that makes a sound," Wu Hen explained.

"Oh, oh, if that’s the case, you can try using the Auditory Domain, and it might yield some unexpected abilities!" Mingyi nodded.

"I’ll give it a try." Wu Hen closed his eyes, focusing all his attention on his hearing.

When people close their eyes, their surroundings fall into chaos. However, in this chaos, Wu Hen could sense a ripple of sound emerging from various positions, like ripples on a still lake...

Behind, the sound of a moth flapping its wings, harmless.

At the treetop canopy, a powerful breathing sound, dangerous.

Far away on the Desert Dust land, a tsunami-like wave of sound, terrifying.

A hundred meters away, a little sky lark flew by, chirping joyfully.

This chirp became a very clear sound ripple, reaching Wu Hen.

For some reason, a thought entered Wu Hen’s mind: to grasp the source of this sound ripple with his consciousness!

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, Wu Hen vanished from his spot!

Mingyi felt her vision blur, and in her peripheral vision, she saw Wu Hen appear a hundred meters away, right where the lark was!

A hand firmly grasped the lark’s wing...

Wu Hen himself was somewhat incredulous.

He glanced at where Mingyi stood, and then at the lark in his hand.

If this were a living person, and he held a sharp blade, he could likely behead them instantly!

"Sound Hunting Flash?? You’ve mastered the Head-cutting Sound Hunting Ghost’s ultimate skill!" Mingyi’s small, alluring mouth opened wide, round like a little goose egg.

Wu Hen walked back and casually released the little lark.

"Yes, amazing. I never thought Spiritual Sense could evolve into an ultimate skill..." Wu Hen was also greatly surprised.

With this ability, if anyone dared to insult him, he could directly use the Instant Shadow Beheading Slash!!

"Rumble, rumble~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

From afar in the Desert Dust, the tsunami-like sound became more and more distinct.

Wu Hen frowned.

He lifted his head and glanced at the tree trunk, noticing it was trembling slightly.

"Thud, thud, thud~"

Suddenly, above, countless core leaves flew up from the violently shaking branches, like a group of butterflies disturbed from their dreams, scattering in panic deeper into their refuge...

"Mingyi, something huge seems to be outside the thin realm!" Wu Hen had heard this earlier.

Mingyi also sensed something wrong, so she looked into the distance.

Her eyes were extremely clear, as if they could reflect everything in the distant sky.

Her pupils turned, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. This tense emotion quickly spread across her entire face.

"This isn’t good, the Evil Realm is expanding in! I must go to the thin realm!" Mingyi said.

With that, Mingyi took out a green cicada from her pocket.

It was still that green mechanical cicada. Mingyi gently threw it into the air, and it quickly transformed into a magnificent mechanical eagle.

"Take me along!"

"Then hold on tight!"

Mingyi leaped up, grabbing the mechanical eagle.

Wu Hen also jumped, wrapping his arms around Mingyi’s waist and the eagle’s other claw. He ultimately chose the mechanical claw.

The mechanical eagle flew toward the thin realm.

They could see the Five-Colored Soil of the Pure Land slowly shrinking. Huge death-filled Desert Dunes were moving on the horizon, gradually devouring the Five-Colored Soil, compressing the thin realm bit by bit!

The thin realm was like a massive celestial screen enveloping the Nuwa God End and the Five-Colored Soil beneath her feet, shielding the otherworldly influences outside while scattering the colorful brilliance of the soil like a canopy. Explore stories on empire

But now, this special pure land thin realm was easily shattered, as if a vast void hole appeared on the horizon, exposing the boundless darkness and bizarreness of the Otherworldly Dust!

Soon, the evil aura surged into the Five-Colored Pure Land, brushing past the weak-willed. These people would inexplicably stop and then fix their gaze on the ruptured area.

They seemed to see dazzling brilliance in that broken region, believing fervently like pilgrims, rushing toward the unknown dunes!

As if there were gods deep in the dunes, urgently needing to be worshiped!

"The Nuwa God End is too frail," Mingyi sighed softly.

Even the citizens who had stepped into the pure land were bewitched and lost their faith, and that was under the Nuwa God’s cover. How many who rushed fanatically into the dunes could survive? After all, the Evil Realm devours people without leaving a trace!

Wu Hen also hadn’t expected that, even under the Nuwa Divine Tree, they couldn’t resist the invasion of the Otherworldly Dust.

He wanted to know what this dune-like evil realm that crashed into the human pure land was!

----

Upon arriving near the thin realm, Wu Hen and Mingyi merely stood on the Five-Colored Soil.

Less than three kilometers ahead was the dune, massive like a ghost ship. With his improved visual clarity, Wu Hen was horrified to find he had been deceived earlier! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Those tiny grains forming the moving ghost ship dune were not sand but sand-sized Alien Locusts!

The dune was not a dune; it was a mountain of countless locusts!

The Five-Colored Soil was not being covered.

It was being gnawed away by this vast mountain of locusts!

In an instant, Wu Hen felt a chill down his spine...

He recalled nearly stepping into the Sky Sand Desert not long ago, thinking it was just a desolate desert. Little did he know, it was a vast locust kingdom!!!

Their Nuwa God End was traversing such an insect world evil desert!

"Firewood, ignite the firewood quickly!"

"We can’t let the insect world expand further!"

Not far away, a man in fighting clothes commanded loudly from the sky.

The so-called firewood was more like ancient totem piles. Wu Hen saw a group of people gathering Five-Colored Stones from the Five-Colored Soil, stacking them to form stone pile towers, with a special flame ignited at the top!

The flame’s light was golden, enough to cover an area.

The evil aura dispersed immediately when passing this golden radiance.

The enormous locust kingdom, still crawling, also paused before these firewood stone piles...

But the golden radiance had clear boundaries, and the Five-Colored Stones and firewood were very limited. Such resistance against the massive Dust Locust Mountain Range crashing down wasn’t very effective.

Helplessly, people had to retreat continuously.

Large swathes of the Five-Colored Pure Land were devoured, and some special mutant locusts had flown onto the Nuwa Divine Tree, starting to feast on the Core Leaf Butterflies!!

If the Core Leaf Butterflies represented a person in the homeland, the swathes of butterflies being devoured might indicate a terrible disaster syncing in the homeland??

In a flash, Wu Hen thought of the catastrophic disasters in the homeland that had claimed countless lives over the years.

And the thunderstorm that mysteriously vanished not long ago...

It seemed like after capturing Little Yi, the thunderstorm disaster in the homeland ceased completely!!

Could it be the thunderstorm disaster in the homeland was because Little Yi and the Nuwa God End were in the same Desert Dust world??

"Patrol, what are you waiting for? Check out what’s causing this evil insect rampage!" At this moment, a proud command echoed. It was a high-ranking official with a thick beard and a white hat.

"Going now would be sending us to our deaths," said a female patrol with one eye.

"That’s your duty!" The White Hat leader’s tone was stern.

Patrols and Guardians had started assembling on the soil battlefield, but their total didn’t reach a thousand.

This puzzled Wu Hen; was the vast Nuwa God End only inhabited by so few Spirit Awakeners?

Or was it that many were still exploring in the Desert Dust?

"Wu Hen, come here."

Mingyi led Wu Hen to a position nearest to a dune, where about six or seven people stood near the front firewood stone tower.

Wu Hen saw the man who had previously visited his home with Mingyi. He seemed to be the captain of this small team.

"Welcome to join us," Captain Qin Sheng greeted briefly, then said no more.

"Joining the patrol at this time, delaying the application form might let you live a few more days," said a pale, tall man.

"It’s fine, let him stay here; we’ll go in," Mingyi said.

After all, Wu Hen wasn’t yet an official member. In this terrifying insect world, even a team of Spirit Awakeners had a death rate exceeding sixty to seventy percent.

Wu Hen was hesitant too; this was a more terrifying existence than the Zai Wu Evil Soil. Ensuring survival was a huge question.

However, Wu Hen’s right hand had a different idea.

"Swoosh!"

Little Yi raised Wu Hen’s hand high without warning.

Seeing Wu Hen inexplicably raising his hand high, Mingyi’s team members gave him surprised and approving looks.

"Tut tut, Mingyi brought in a good guy, at least he’s got courage!"

"Except for us patrols, other Spirit Awakeners stay far away. Only those willing to join us patrols are true men!"

Wu Hen felt helpless too.

With his hand raised so high, he could only respond thoughtfully, "I’ll go in with the seniors; that’s how I’ll learn real skills."

Little Yi, you better not fool me.

There’s some big prey you want to reveal!

For that super protein, let’s pull off something big!!
