The Eight Vertical Bar Mutant stood at the core of the storm, the eighth vertical bar on its brow becoming increasingly radiant, seemingly awakening some ancient bloodline.
Its body slowly ascended, the white patterns and bloodlines flowing around it interwoven into complex totems, as if responding to the call of this power.
In the distance, Sisjingjing and Sisyinying quickly spewed out strands of silk, embedding them into the edge of the crack. As the two small beasts pulled, the crack gradually widened.
The silk rapidly solidified into a crystal-clear barrier at the edge of the crack, resembling a newly woven gateway.
Just then, the Eight Vertical Bar Mutant suddenly let out a low roar. Three thousand white hairs cascaded like a waterfall, intertwined with blood-red energy, dancing like living entities.
Deep within its pupils, blood-red light and white radiance intertwined, emitting a pressure that made the heavens and earth dim.
The surrounding air seemed to solidify, the earth trembled, distant tall buildings collapsed one after another, and cracks spread like a spiderweb.
Just as the barrier was about to form, the Eight Vertical Bar Mutant suddenly spread its arms and let out a roar that shook the universe, a sound like an ancient beast awakening, piercing through the boundaries of time and space.
What followed was its snow-white hair growing explosively, each strand like a silver chain hanging from the sky. Every strand of hair transformed into a sharp spear, carrying an aura of world-destroying power, and fiercely slammed into the crystalline barrier.
The moment the silver spears collided with the barrier, the heavens and earth seemed to fall into a brief silence, followed by a deafening roar.
The silk threads snapped, and the barrier shattered inch by inch, turning into countless shimmering fragments that scattered, like falling stars.
The shockwave swept in all directions, tearing deep ravines into the ground, and smoke and energy intertwined into a violent vortex.
Sisjingjing and Sisyinying roared, spewing out more silk. Silver threads darted like lightning, once again embedding into the crack's edge. They seemed unsatisfied with the current size of the crack, attempting to expand it further.
As the small beasts tore, more dark energy surged from the depths of the crack, rolling out like thick ink.
Sisjingjing and Sisyinying's bodies were gradually enveloped in black mist, and a fervent glow appeared in the eyes of the two small beasts, as if summoning a more powerful existence.
Their silk threads continuously intertwined and pulled, and the edge of the crack, like a torn wound, grew wider and wider, vaguely revealing the churning void of another world within.
Suddenly, a giant scaly claw reached out from the crack, its five fingers like blades, slowly descending with endless darkness and a sense of oppression.
However, perhaps sensing the aura of the Eight Vertical Bar Mutant, the giant claw paused slightly in mid-air, as if hesitating, or perhaps weighing its options.
Finally, after a brief stop in the air, the giant claw slowly retracted, and a low growl, filled with unwillingness and apprehension, came from within the crack.
Sisjingjing and Sisyinying seemed completely unfazed by the appearance of the giant claw, still frantically tearing at the edge of the crack, as if to rip apart the entire space.
During this process, the energy fluctuations between heaven and earth became increasingly violent, and the crack, like an entrance to another world, could completely open at any moment.
The silver hair of the Eight Vertical Bar Mutant whipped in the violent energy storm, the blood-red and white light in its eyes grew more intense, and its white long hair continuously bombarded the already shattered remnants of the barrier. Each strike carried a destructive force, as if to completely obliterate the last barrier between heaven and earth.
It did not stop because of the giant claw's appearance; instead, it became even more ferocious, its hair like silver lightning raging, tearing open grotesque cracks in space.
Heaven and earth were unbalanced, energy surged wildly, as if the entire world trembled under its wrath.
The aura of the Eight Vertical Bar Mutant grew stronger, and that destructive power seemed to have reached its limit, as if it would completely erupt in the next moment, tearing this space to shreds.
After a full hour, as the last barrier collapsed with a roar, the Eight Vertical Bar Mutant let out a long cry to the sky. Its long hair whipped up a monstrous energy storm, and the silver hair, tearing through space, blasted towards the core of the crack like an exploding thunderbolt.
A heart-wrenching wail echoed between heaven and earth, as if the entire world was on the verge of collapse at this moment.
Sisjingjing and Sisyinying's figures swayed violently in the raging energy, but their eyes still burned with a fervent glow, their silk threads tightly wrapped around the crack's edge, refusing to let go.
The growl from deep within the crack became more desperate, but no giant claw reached out again.
The silver hair of the Eight Vertical Bar Mutant suddenly retracted, once again transforming into three thousand soft white strands that gently fell, like moonlight spilling into an abyss, each silver strand glowing with a cold and mysterious radiance.
At this moment, a ten-thousand-meter-long crack stretched across the void, like a wound torn in heaven and earth. If anyone were nearby, they would surely see that behind the crack was a desolate wasteland filled with death energy, where there was no life, only endless withered bones and wandering zombies.
At the edge of the crack, a hundred-meter-tall behemoth lay in a pool of blood, with a huge hole in its chest, clearly lifeless.
As the crack completely opened, the scene of that desolate wasteland became clearer. A fierce wind howled from the crack, mixed with the scent of decay and blood.
The zombies, as if sensing the aura of the living world, all raised their heads, letting out low growls, and gathered towards the edge of the crack.
And that hundred-meter-tall behemoth, its corpse seemed to have once been the ruler of this wasteland, but now it had become a sacrifice for the Mutant to open the passage.
At this moment, if anyone could see this corpse, they would surely be horrified to recognize the number of horizontal bars on its broken forehead: thirteen!
Which is the peak existence of horizontal bar zombies, as currently theorized by humans.
After the crack was completely stable, Sisjingjing and Sisyinying instantly let out joyful squeaks, retracted their silk threads, quickly passed through the passage, and pounced on the giant corpse with thirteen horizontal bars. Their silk threads pierced into the corpse's broken chest, and then, a 13th grade zombie crystal was precisely extracted and collected by the two small beasts.
Beyond the passage, countless high-grade zombies were slowly gathering at the entrance of the passage, their low growls rising and falling. There were horizontal bars, vertical bars, diagonal bars, and even never-before-seen wavy-patterned zombies lurking in the darkness, observing everything.
But without exception, these zombies were all high-grade zombies, the lowest being eight bars!
Even though they were all high-grade zombies, upon sensing the aura of the Eight Vertical Bar Mutant, they instinctively wandered near the passage but dared not approach.
The ten-thousand-meter crack (gateway), like the gaping maw of a giant beast, coupled with the previous world-destroying commotion, naturally alarmed all the survivors in H City. All their gazes were drawn to the crack, and countless terrified and shocked eyes looked up at the sky.
Due to the great distance, they only saw the dark crack and did not see the desolate wasteland behind it.
Otherwise, it would surely have caused even greater panic and chaos.
But the crack was located in the central area of H City, and all the major powers of H City knew that a seven-vertical-bar Mutant existed in the central area, so no one dared to easily step foot there.
Of course, they also did not know that the seven-vertical-bar Mutant had already evolved into an Eight Vertical Bar Mutant.
And now, the aura of the Eight Vertical Bar Mutant, like an emperor, lorded over all zombies, causing them to instinctively retreat far away. It was also fortunate that the aura of the Eight Vertical Bar Mutant deterred all high-grade zombies, otherwise, if the high-grade zombies from the wasteland surged into H City, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In H City, the leaders of the Three Overlord Powers gathered again, their faces grim as they looked at the crack that spanned heaven and earth. Although they did not know what was hidden behind it, from the heart-palpitating sense of oppression, they had already sensed an unprecedented crisis.
The most bizarre thing was that the formation of this crack broke the bottleneck of lighting the seventh Lotus Seed. Among the Three Overlord Powers, countless peak Six Lotus Seeds experts who had not yet been able to go to the Void Land, at the moment the crack appeared, all broke through their shackles and entered the realm of the seventh Lotus Seed.
This sudden change, as if the rules of the entire world had been rewritten, caused the previously stagnant power to surge again. As for whether it was a blessing or a curse, no one knew.
