High in the sky, the dark crack expanded violently.
As if the heavens themselves were torn apart, a cold, evil, destructive black tide poured down madly.
Roar —!!
Sharp, ear-splitting roars shook the world.
Ferocious beasts with hideous forms, black fur, and bone spikes descended like a flood.
They pounced on anyone they saw, tearing apart all living things.
Buildings collapsed. Streets burned. Screams, cries, and explosions merged into one.
The bustling city had turned into a living hell in just a few minutes.
Su Qingyue's face was as white as paper, her body trembling.
"What… what are those…"
She finally understood Yi Chen had not been exaggerating.
The apocalypse was really here.
Yi Chen's eyes turned cold as he watched the bloody disaster in the distance. There was no pity, only icy determination.
The tragedy of his past life was happening again.
But this time, he was no longer a helpless ant.
Ding!
[First stage of the Black Tide Cataclysm has begun.]
[Xuanhuang Village shield activated — monsters cannot enter.]
[Host may hunt beasts for Soul Crystals, resources, and experience.]
Yi Chen gripped the short dagger at his waist.
"Qingyue, stay inside the hut. Don't come out no matter what happens."
"What about you?" Su Qingyue looked up anxiously.
"I'm going hunting," Yi Chen said calmly, yet with undeniable strength.
"To survive. And so we will never fear anything again."
With that, he stepped beyond the shield.
His gaze had turned as sharp as a warrior's.
