The torrential rain in Mingdu became heavier and heavier, and the black and oppressive clouds began to cover the entire sky from the southwest.

People also stopped what they were doing for a while and began to rush to their homes.

In the rainy season of midsummer, the family sits around a round table full of hot rice, although simple, but it is also a kind of beauty and happiness.

It's just that as ordinary people, just like creatures at the bottom of a well, there are always things in this world that they can't imagine, happening all the time.

It's like people at this time, unaware that an even more terrifying storm is about to sweep through the entire Sun and Moon Imperial City.

……

In the imperial city, on the square where the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony was located, gray-brown energy swept through in an instant, and the onlookers didn't have time to react before they found that those energies had unconsciously entered their bodies.

At first, everyone didn't feel anything, but when they tried to move their bodies, everyone instantly fell into endless shock and doubt.

There is only one reason, they find that their brains have lost control of their bodies!

Of course, it's just that most people are like this, those who have cultivated beyond the Soul Emperor, or even the Contra level, only feel that their speed has been affected to a certain extent, but not to the extent that they have lost control.

But you must know that even in the imperial city of the Sun and Moon Empire, how many combat power above the Soul Emperor are there, and those nobles who only know how to eat and wait for death all day long, even with the accumulation of medicines, not everyone can improve their cultivation.

Therefore, more than seventy percent of the people in the aristocratic circle of the imperial city may not be able to escape this catastrophe.

And then, something that really made them feel cold from the bottom of their hearts still happened.

I saw that those who lost control of their bodies after the gray-brown energy entered their bodies, starting from their feet, a layer of gray that seemed to make those who watched lose themselves quickly began to spread upward.

The consciousness of these people is obviously very clear, but the source of life in their bodies is frantically draining, and the moment the gray will spread to every corner of their body, their source of life has also disappeared.

There were more than 5,000 people in the square, that is to say, nearly seventy percent of them had died in the strict sense, and this was only a momentary occurrence.

……

At the same time, the same scene could be seen in almost every corner of the entire imperial city, where the people's bodies were stiff, completely gray-brown, and even the same movements as before.

Their consciousness is still there, but in fact, the body is dead, and all that remains is the soul.

It stands to reason that if a soul master cultivates to a lower level, his soul cannot exist independently in the world, but those gray-brown energies directly stripped their souls and preserved them intact.

And those who were able to survive by cultivating higher than the Sixth Ring also stared at this scene blankly, as if the whole world had fallen into a standstill.

There were tens of thousands of people in the imperial city, but in less than a breath, the death toll exceeded seventy, making this huge palace complex that was extremely prosperous in the past completely reduced to a dead city.

On the other side, Xu Tianran couldn't care about who the people in the room were, and rushed out of the room like the wind and came to the square outside.

But the scene in front of him directly made his heart half cold.

Thousands of gray-brown figures stood in the huge square, and the source of life in their bodies had all passed away and dissipated between heaven and earth.

"It turns out that this is the real curse." Looking at the scene like the end of the world, Xu Tianchen said to himself with shocked eyes, no longer the elegance he pretended to be.

The curse could not have appeared in the Imperial City for no reason, it must have been man-made.

He also wanted to know what this means was, and who was actually manipulating it all.

But on the Douluo Continent, except for Yechen and Yi Lao in his small world, no one can explain it to him.

In the face of this unknown means, as strong as Xu Tianran, he couldn't help but fall into great fear.

At least until he figured these things out, he didn't dare to provoke a war easily, such a rebellious ability, once it appeared on the frontal battlefield, would bring immeasurable losses to the unprepared Sun and Moon Empire army.

Xu Tianran hadn't recovered from the shock yet, and then he found out with black lines on his head that the evil soul masters he invited didn't help, and there was a greed in his eyes.

Xu Tianran is very familiar with the character of this group of animals, they want to take advantage of the fire to rob and collect the souls of the dead for cultivation!

Even if he understood, what could he do?

Including the people who survived the scene, they also had the same idea, including Liu Fanhao, the head of the Liu family.

He is greedy, but not to the point of such madness.

As the head of the family, he also has an eight-ring Contra Douluo-level cultivation, and among those evil soul masters, there is no shortage of Titled Douluo-level existences, in the face of such a situation, how dare he stop it?

However, when those evil soul masters were about to collect their souls, those souls rushed in one direction at a rapid speed under the gray-brown energy.

And there, that's where Yechen is.

……

In the central area of Mingdu, in the contact point of Shrek Academy, Xuan Lao looked up at the window sharply.

Through the majestic curtain of rain, he seemed to sense something.

"Xiao Chen, what are you doing?" Xuan Lao muttered to himself, his pale eyebrows already wrinkled together.

He didn't know Yechen's plan, but even if he did, he probably wouldn't blame the other party.

Although it is a bit against humanity, Xuan Lao knows Yechen's personality well, and he must know that he is definitely not doing these things out of selfishness.

After sensing the abnormality, Xuan Lao immediately dodged out and galloped towards the location of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy through the rain curtain.

He didn't care about Yechen, because he knew that with Yechen's hole cards, he would definitely be able to bring everyone back, and in Sun and Moon Academy, there were still many of his own people who needed him to pick them up.

This is what Yechen specially instructed when he met Yechen that day.

……

In the room, Yechen was in an extremely mysterious state.

With the first infusion of energy, as if a breach had been found in a strong fortress, the gray-brown energy passed directly through the barrier of the wall, completely uncontrolled by Yechen into his left pupil.

This gray-brown light is the energy that envelops the souls of the dead, and it is not the pupils of the night that they enter, but the world in the pupils.

And Yechen himself, under the rapid injection of gray-brown energy, his consciousness began to gradually become blurred.

He felt as if there was an invisible barrier in his body, and a crack had been broken.

And the scene in front of me seems to be the world that seems to be the underworld, automatically absorbing the souls of the dead.

At this moment, Yechen's pair of pupils continued to change, and eventually, the whites of the eyes disappeared completely, leaving only the darkness that was extremely deep......
