Liu Yun stared expressionlessly at the terrifying wall of wind before her. Hearing Xie Xuan's words, she had naturally arrived at the same realization.
Back then, it was she who had ultimately signed off on Bai Feifei's insolent request.
Did Bai Feifei know something?
The people from that organization must know something!
Yet she didn't know what Bai Feifei's goal was. Even though Bai Feifei clearly seemed to harbor goodwill toward Dawn City, she refused to offer any further warnings.
Now was not the time to think about that.
Her gaze swept past the towering red wall of wind that connected the heavens and the earth, landing on the panicked crowd in the camp.
“It's over, it's all over...”
A grey-haired veteran instructor trembled, his lips quivering as his finger shook violently while pointing at the wall of wind.
His pupils dilated wildly, and he stumbled back two steps, nearly collapsing on the spot.
“It's happening again! Why is it always the North District??”
“Thirty years ago! What happened thirty years ago is about to repeat itself! Are we ready? We aren't ready at all!”
“Not to mention, we only came here for the Graduation Show this time...”
His words struck a chord with everyone, dredging up terrible memories for many.
The crisis thirty years ago that had nearly destroyed all of Dawn City was more than just a memory to these old-timers.
It was a dark shadow, a deep-seated fear rooted in their very bones.
Panic spread through the crowd like a plague.
Many stood frozen in place, their lips tightly pressed together, their legs trembling uncontrollably.
Their eyes locked onto the crimson wall of wind.
It felt as if something could charge out of the gale at any moment and tear them all to shreds.
Someone cried out in panic:
“What on earth is that? We need to retreat to Dawn City immediately and let the City Lord decide what to do!”
“We shouldn't have provoked the North District. We should never have set foot in this place again.”
“Nothing happened for so many years, but the moment we enter to explore, everything goes to hell.”
“What about the people inside? Can they even survive?”
These Scavengers, who should have remained calm, shrieked in terror. Suddenly, Xie Xuan frowned and spoke:
“The wall of wind is starting to expand outward!”
Everyone gasped in shock, their eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets.
The worst-case scenario was unfolding. This sudden disaster was about to expand, sweeping through all of Dawn City, and then...
Right at that moment, Liu Yun moved.
Without any warning, her body slowly floated into the air.
Her purple robe billowed in the wind, its edges fluttering like burning flames. Golden patterns rippled across the fabric, radiating a powerful aura.
“Silence.”
The moment she spoke, all the chaotic noise was instantly cut off.
The panic throughout the camp seemed to hit a pause button. Everyone involuntarily looked up at the radiant figure in midair.
Liu Yun projected her voice:
【I once dreamed of a million-strong army!】
At that moment, everyone saw her pupils turn golden.
Dawn City had not seen this Prophet go all out in a very long time.
Under the astonished gazes of Xie Xuan and the others, countless golden silhouettes materialized out of thin air.
It was literally an army of millions, filling the entire sky, making everyone present feel utterly insignificant.
Without pausing for a second, she raised her right hand and roared another of her Word Souls:
【Heavenly Soldiers, Descend!】
The moment the words left her mouth, the sky split open.
Golden light erupted from the rift, turning into countless threads that poured into the myriad of figures below.
Instantly, the figures swelled in size. Though their outlines were blurry, they exuded supreme majesty, looking like deities stepping out of ancient myths.
The entire sky was filled with golden giants!
Then, they moved in unison.
Countless arms rose simultaneously, and golden light surged from their palms, weaving into a massive energy net that connected the heavens and the earth.
The expanding wall of wind roared as it slammed into the barrier. Liu Yun's brow furrowed slightly, but the crimson mist dissolved completely in the golden light, unable to advance even an inch!
In the camp, everyone stared up at the scene, their mouths agape.
The purple-robed figure stood in midair, her garments flapping loudly, her long hair whipping wildly in the wind.
With one hand extended forward and her fingers slightly spread, she seemed to be holding down something invisible in the void. It felt as if, behind her figure, even if the pillars of heaven collapsed, she could hold them up.
...
Even among Prophets, there was a gap in power.
And Liu Yun just happened to be the strongest of them all!
Liu Yun had not gone all out in so long that these people had forgotten just what kind of power she possessed.
The instructors who had been trembling earlier finally breathed sighs of relief.
The fear in their eyes was gone, replaced by the relief of surviving a disaster and a strange sense of awe.
Looking up at the radiant light in the sky, they all thought: As long as Liu Yun is here, the sky over Dawn City will not fall.
At the back of the crowd, Tian Guannan stood in silence, his fingers twitching slightly at his side.
Staring at the dazzling figure in midair and the colossal golden heavenly soldiers behind her, a deep-seated dread flickered in his eyes.
Following that, deep in his eyes, a profound jealousy flared up.
Liu Yun did not look at anyone. Her gaze pierced through the red wall of wind and the churning crimson mist, staring solemnly into the depths of the gale.
The pressure on her was also immense.
Although she seemed to have easily held back this destructive storm, she could not launch a counterattack.
She could only hold her ground to prevent this destruction from spreading to all of Dawn City.
But how was she supposed to resolve this?
With a solemn expression, she suddenly spoke.
“There is a change in Dawn City,” her voice drifted down from the sky, carrying an unquestionable authority.
“My long-awaited guests, there is no spectacle to watch here—only destruction and death.”
“Show yourselves, and then leave. I will not be seeing you out!”
As her voice faded...
In the distance, flames shot into the sky!
The fire raged as if someone were burning down a mountain. A massive fireball erupted from the distant ruins, soaring straight into the clouds!
A wave of heat rushed over them, distorting the air. Then, the flames suddenly vanished, revealing a figure standing on the gravel ground of the camp.
His bare upper body was covered in granite-like muscles, and a ferocious ram's head was tattooed across his chest.
Aries, Hong Jiu!
Behind him stood a squad of Rangers belonging to Aries.
Tian Guannan and the others turned around in shock, staring at the uninvited guests who had suddenly appeared.
When did these people arrive?
Had Liu Yun noticed them long ago?
Yet they hadn't sensed a single thing from start to finish!
Standing there, Hong Jiu looked up at Liu Yun in midair. He suddenly cupped his hands and laughed heartily:
“Hahahahaha!”
“I have heard of your great name for many years. Please forgive my uninvited intrusion, Prophet.”
“Liu Yun, you truly are the strongest Prophet!”
