Paragon of Sin

the other Myriad Monarch Sect members, but even in the first ten million, they were nowhere to be found.
While he noted some had auras that resembled the Myriad Monarch Sect's Main Planet, Wuyu or Junia, they were all individuals of low cultivation or age.

He brought out a piece of cloth from his robe and tightly wrapped the jade box that Wei Wuyin gave him, remembering every word Wei Wuyin had said.
Tuo Bihan knew that Wei Wuyin was likely not here, and that the little boss was aware that this was bound to happen, so he decided to set his priorities.

First, find other members of the Myriad Monarch Sect!

Just as he was about to leave, he saw someone running through the crowd, passing through the five feet gaps with outstanding speed.
It was a female elf, and she was at the Spatial Resonance Phase.
Unlike the others that took to the sky, she was traveling on the ground with a purpose.
Her astral force empowered her movements as she dashed across.

However, just as she got a little distance away, one of those bursts of lights exploded directly above her, and she vanished.
Tuo Bihan's pupils shrunk.

Alright…

So, first, stay put…

While the speed of her disappearance was fast, Tuo Bihan could sense that one of those pillars had arrived and she was taken away.
He didn't know if being taken away was good or bad, but he did not mind never finding out for himself.

Fortunately, the life aura of that female elf had entered his spiritual senses after he expanded his search, realizing that she was sitting down with her cultivation thoroughly sealed.
Her face was quite unsightly, but she seemed to become very behaved after.

In the matter of a few minutes, his spiritual senses reached their utter limits, and he realized the entire surface of this world was above the surface area of the Myriad Monarch Sect's Main Planet.
To frighteningly add, it was entirely flat and consistent.
There were no clouds, mountains, sporadic profusions, signs of flora or fauna, or even anything seemingly resembling a natural environment.

'I've counted roughly thirteen billion, and the numbers are growing.
My senses can only reach so far, and there might be trillions here.' Tuo Bihan counted the life auras in this strange world, which consisted of some auras he found familiar.
He tried to send transmissions out, but he found that there was something directly interfering with it, preventing him from doing so.
Without any means to directly communicate, he could only wait where he was.

After gauging the situation, he tied the box wrapped in cloth around his torso, carrying it like a pouch.
This was extremely important, so he didn't even want it to be in his spatial ring for fear of the unknown.

Soon, the souls that have arrived were all conversing with their neighbors, asking questions, seeking answers, but with ignorance abound, it did little good to alleviate their concerns.
The only bonus was the smart few that reassured others that if the one who brought them here wanted them dead, then they would be dead.
Why waste the effort?

Regardless, an explanation was bound to be incoming, so they just had to be patient.
Unfortunately, the environment was extremely unsuitable for resting, and any object that was taken out of their storage or spatial ring would abruptly vanish without an explanation.
It seems the spatial fluctuations would trigger some defensive mechanism.

Tuo Bihan noted that this might not be an intended effect of this world, but an inherent flaw in its design.
After all, someone tried to utilize their spatial force, likely some Realmlord from that new continent, and they vanished.
Another light burst occurred in that area, and a new lifeform took their place.

Clearly, that human Realmlord was not returned.

It was highly possible he was trapped somewhere or dead, so Tuo Bihan felt relieved that he hadn't acted rashly.

He wasn't the only one who was inspecting the world, and he felt numerous spiritual senses sweeping across him.
Some of them carried familiar auras, such as Qin Rui's.
Knowing that she was nearby, watching, he formed some hand signs to indicate for her to not make rash actions.

This was the only method that was usable with the restrictions present.
Fortunately, when he discovered her, she gestured with her hands to assure him that she wasn't going to act recklessly.
They then proceeded to communicate with hand signs, performing a little charade of sorts until they understood the other well enough.

If it wasn't for fear of provoking some calamity, they could use their astral force to write out characters in the air.
Even if it would be read by others.
A few even tried to do so, especially after seeing Tuo Bihan and Qin Rui communicate.

Yet they had their cultivation bases sealed, including their spiritual senses as a consequence.
It seemed that spiritual sense usage was not prohibited, but astral force or qi would provoke a direct response that resulted in its restriction.
This was an utterly terrifying world.

BOOM!

A thunderous sound grasped everyone's attention, even children and infants stopped crying as they were attracted by the event above them.
A single face, large, massive like a lunar satellite, emerged above.
It plastered in the cloudless sky, replacing the white scenery that emitted light without a visible source.

The face was of a handsome middle-aged man with a trimmed stubble and a short-tied ponytail.
While the colors of his features couldn't be determined, as it was an aurora of bright colors, one could tell he was human.
The follicles of his stubble were abundantly vivid, giving him an animated and alive feeling.
This was no automaton.

The face had a stern and calm gaze as it seemed to be staring at you yet also at everything and everyone present.

”Greetings, Citizens of the Desolate Sky Domain! ” The male voice spoke, and his voice was extremely loud yet brought no discomfort to anyone, be it the infants or the adults.
It was soothing, in fact.
The low reverb it carried comforted the heart, making it difficult to bear hostilities.

However, the experts were startled by his words.
Desolate Sky Domain? Citizens? What?!

The voice cleared its throat and continued: ”You must have a lot of questions, keep them for later.
For now, I must tell you about why you're here: Your starfield, your planet, your continent, your home is about to meet its end! ”

”…! ” Trillions paled!
