Night of Despair-Chapter 407: Spirit 3 of 4.05 million
Yu Hong fell to the ground, his Inner Strength shaking off the enhanced pressure caused by the increased weight.
Top Magician experts like the Golden Light Taoist were now, one after another, releasing long-range Magic to provide support. Various colored Spiritual Domains rapidly expanded, soaring into the sky desperately.
But by now, it was already too late.
The number of Three-eyed Dragon Men was too great; they had already begun Instantaneous Movement into the Great Wall, commencing a massacre.
No Magician could withstand their instant skewering attacks. Spiritual Domains could only barely encompass single digits, while more crazily poured in ceaselessly.
Even with Spirit Light enhancing protection, it could at most hold out for a few more moments; now, one after another, the Spirit Light shattered like smashed eggs.
The Magicians couldn’t hold them back, let alone ordinary people.
Every second, Spirit Light was flying into Yu Hong’s body.
The color of the Spirit Light on him gradually overshadowed all other colors, bathing the whole person in dazzling silver.
"Kill!!"
He erupted from the ground once again, charging toward the Cai Jing Taoist, but hit nothing as the opponent Instantaneously Moved away, refusing to engage him in combat. They were no longer able to stand one-on-one against the current Yu Hong, whose overall qualities were quickly being strengthened by the large amounts of Spirit Light.
Five Cai Jing Taoists spread out their formation, widening the distance, flashing rapidly around, preparing to form the Array and release the Colorful Mirror threads again.
Further off, that huge humanoid figure in pure white armor, with white ribbons twining around its body and a blinding white flame burning over its head, was slowly drifting this way.
With every bit of distance it moved, the ten kilometers around it seemed to become its unique field of intense pressure.
Everywhere it reached, the earth collapsed, leaving clear indentations. All living things, trees, stones, were all crushed to dust.
On Yu Hong’s side, the number of Spirit Alliance members dying was increasing.
More and more Spirit Light was shooting up and merging into his body.
Once again, a trace of power from the Ultimate Sun appeared faintly behind him.
As the Spirit Light continued to strengthen, his strength, speed, physical constitution, and defense were all rapidly soaring once more.
The Cai Jing Taoists, who had been previously trying to lock him down with an Array, were now no longer able to entangle him. Instead, they were repeatedly ambushed by him, forced to retreat in defeat.
Their Instantaneous Movement was not without a sign; there was a slight hand gesture of Sealing before it happened. It was this slight delay that, at close quarters, Yu Hong seized to launch lightning-fast assaults, scattering the Cai Jing Taoists’ colorful aura with each strike.
Boom!!
At last, the halo behind one of the Cai Jing Taoists shattered, and his entire body was punched, exploding the head’s colorful glow, disintegrating in an instant.
But in the next second, a large amount of grey fog condensed not far away, once again revealing the figure of a Cai Jing Taoist.
It had actually been reborn!!
It was only now that Yu Hong finally understood why Quan He would choose Sealing...would choose an Array...
At this very moment, the Immortal General in the distance was closing in.
Tens of thousands of Magicians and soldiers were dying every moment on the ground below.
Even though the Spirit Light was still rapidly enhancing his all-around qualities, Yu Hong could not see a glimmer of hope.
"Kill!!" From the manor house behind, most of the expert Magicians had fled. Only Ku Chan, once again clutching the Chi Xiao Sword, his face covered in blood, charged out.
His eyes were dark red, his body enveloped in dark red flames. His Dao Breath soared, combined with the silver Spirit Light Threads, actually much stronger than before.
Clearly, this guy was also a genius. After receiving guidance from Quan He, he had improved the application of Spirit Light to another level in a short time, integrating and enhancing his Magic power.
Looking at the Immortal General approaching in the distance, feeling the Disaster Great Wall below almost submerged, Yu Hong gritted his teeth, let himself fall to the ground, stomped his foot, and rushed towards Ku Chan, grabbing him.
"We’ve been beaten, let’s go!"
He yelled angrily, carrying the person towards the empty space behind the Great Wall.
With the speed currently greatly amplified by his Spirit Light, he was nearing two hundred meters per second.
That was an astonishing speed nearing seven hundred yards.
It was close to the speed of sound; the air in front of him almost turned into a thick sludge.
In an instant, the scenery at his side turned to blurred shadows, and various messy things in front were pierced through; in a few leaps, he took the person several kilometers away.
The Cai Jing Taoists lost interest in him after realizing he was gone, eagerly beginning to devour the glowing points of spiritual power rising from the humans below.
Yu Hong sprinted, sensing the dwindling breaths of life left on the Great Wall behind him with his spiritual power, eventually closing his eyes, holding the blood-spewing Ku Chan, and racing toward Taizhou.
But still on the way.
The night-like sky suddenly began to clear of the grey fog.
One by one, white meteors fell from the sky, plummeting diagonally toward the earth.
The ground began to tremble.
It wasn’t a simple tremor caused by explosions, but an extremely violent shaking.
Crack...
The earth began to split, revealing crevasses like massive centipedes.
Yu Hong turned back sharply.
Seeing at the site of the Disaster Great Wall, the white armored Immortal General, with one hand raised high, holding a giant lance made of white electric light.
Already smashing it fiercely into the ground.
The lance turned into a straight pillar of light, thunderously striking the earth, piercing deep into the ground.
Columns of white light continuously poured into the earth, their surroundings—buildings, terrain—all shattered and deformed by the ripples surged up from the ground, turning into a uniformly fine and flat land.
At this moment, two white intercontinental missiles visibly descended from the sky, hitting the White Armored Immortal General in mid-air.
Hiss!
Blinding light burst forth in an instant, forming two small suns overlapping each other.
The surrounding night was directly dispersed, illuminated.
Everything seemed to have returned to daylight.
But that light lasted for less than a second before suddenly dimming.
Yu Hong opened his eyes again, just in time to see white streamers on the body of the Immortal General automatically flying out, enveloping the two nuclear explosions of the small suns completely, sealing away all light and heat.
The streamers fluttered violently, showing cracks on their surface, but ultimately they did not break, after a tense few seconds, all became completely tranquil.
".....!!" Seeing this, Yu Hong had completely lost all hope in his heart.
He turned his head and sprinted away furiously.
"We’re leaving! What about the people at the Disaster Great Wall?" Ku Chan, being dragged along by him, still had the energy to speak.
"There are no more living people at the Disaster Great Wall," Yu Hong replied solemnly.
The exaggerated Golden Wave had already doomed those below when he had been entangled by Cai Jing Taoists.
Ordinary people were the true prey of these Spirit Disasters.
Ku Chan had no response, and fell silent.
The two of them hurriedly made their way, encountering openings in the sky along the road, one Gate of Ten Thousand Spirits after another.
Random doors appeared even in the sky above desolate wastelands.
Clearly, the erosion of this world by the Spirit Disasters had not just begun.
Opening so many gates in an instant, hidden dangers had been lurking for many years.
Yu Hong, along the way, encountered a Magician from the Spirit Alliance driving a car to escape, and kept stepping in to save people.
Fortunately, those who went to this final viewing were either top experts or slick old-timers with vast experience. Sensing something wrong, they escaped quickly.

Some went directly from planes to cars, initially moving faster than Yu Hong.
More than an hour later, Taizhou’s temporary command center.
Bang!
The door to the command hall was busted open.
Yu Hong was the first to enter, breathing slightly heavily, followed by Yu Hen, Yu Mo, Qing Huang, Silent, and others.
As they entered, they immediately attracted the gaze of all mid-level Magicians inside.
"The news is known to all of you, and now with time critical, we have no way out," Yu Hong stated as he stood on the podium, projecting his voice.
"The Immortal General that emerged later seems to have triggered the shaking of the earth. Everywhere was experiencing earthquakes as I returned, the ground cracking open. The sky also has sparse openings of the Gate of Ten Thousand Spirits, with meteor-like falls containing all sorts of monsters. I suspect the higher layers had larger Gates of Ten Thousand Spirits opening. That’s why monsters fell from the sky, turning into meteors."
Yu Hong looked around at everyone.
Of the Nine Sects, only four remained. Taoists from Golden Light and two others were there but injured.
Long Qingzi, weakened, leaned against the wall; he had returned to his physical body, and his cultivation had only recovered for a few days with the help of Spirit Light before being dragged into frontline slaughter. He was unfortunately hit directly by the Golden Wave initially, severely wounded on the spot.
Within the whole Seven Evil Alliance, he was the only survivor.
The rest were all devoured in an instant because they were too close to the front.
"Alliance Hierarch, is there really no hope at all?" Yaochen Taoist took a step forward, staring at Yu Hong.
".... Gathering wisdom may find us a way, and that’s why I’ve called everyone here," Yu Hong answered.
He was well aware that Taizhou could not withstand the Golden Wave or the Immortal General from the First Spirit Mountain...
All resistance was merely a powerless delay, nothing more.
"For this particular situation, there is only one method!" Amidst the multitude of Magicians, it was Yu Hen, the unobtrusive Taoist, who now spoke up with gravity.
"Master Uncle!?" Yu Hong looked at Yu Hen in surprise.
Among the many Magicians present, Yu Hen’s power was almost the weakest, but power doesn’t seem to represent will.
He still had hope in his eyes; he still had a plan? Conversely, the rest of the senior Magicians had lost their calm.
"The best strategy now is to avoid the brunt of the edge, to hide!" Yu Hen said quickly.
"But they move too fast, spreading their Array, I estimate in half an hour they could reach here. There’s not enough time!" Yu Hong replied urgently.
"All the underground nuclear shelters in Taizhou can accommodate people. Sound the alarm now, save as many as we can!" Yu Hen said.
"But what after that? Enter the nuclear shelters only to be trapped and slain by the Spirit Disasters?" Long Qingzi retorted sarcastically.
"Leave some people to draw them off. The rest hide away, conceal yourselves, and take a gamble. There are no other options now," Yu Hong said, giving him a look.
Long Qingzi shuddered all over, falling silent. His face was extremely ugly; he already understood who would be chosen to cover the rear.
"We have already set up multiple layers of concealed Arrays at the entry and exit of the nuclear shelters. It was to prepare for this day, didn’t expect…," Yu Hen sighed.
He had simply been too accustomed to calculating and liked to have several backup plans, hence he had casually ordered the arrangements.
He hadn’t expected that today, they would actually be needed.
