World Version Updates-Chapter 538 - 329: Virtual World (Part 2)

The speed of the falling star was astonishingly fast, so fast that even Ose, a powerful Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability User, could only capture a blurred afterimage, unable to discern its true form.

"What is that thing?" a team member exclaimed in shock, pointing at the anomaly in the sky, his voice sharpened by fear.

"Probably just a regular meteor fall, can't possibly be those madmen from City No.14 really attacking us, right?" another team member said, pretending to stay calm, though his trembling tone betrayed his internal unease.

"Stop frightening yourselves! We're just patrolling for appearances' sake.

Don't forget that overhead, the omnipresent Celestial Dome is constantly monitoring everything; no unauthorized aircraft can escape the eyes of the Universal Giant Corporation!" Another seasoned Spiritual Ability User said, trying to stabilize the team's morale.

Yet, as his words fell, everyone's pupils instantly contracted, faces showing expressions of unbelievable horror.

At the far end of their line of sight, within the supposedly invincible City No.7, three towering Soul Towers, reaching into the clouds like giant pillars, simultaneously emitted deafening booms.

Everyone knew those were the Soul Towers, the ultimate destination for all beings governed by the Universal Giant Corporation.

They had once been filled with fear and resistance regarding the Soul Towers' existence, but as time passed and with the Universal Giant Corporation's subtle propaganda, the supposed beautiful picture of the Soul World started circulating among the people.

Gradually, some even began viewing the Soul Towers as a manifestation of the Intelligent God's miracle, believing it to be humanity's ultimate and most perfect evolution direction.

And now, right before their eyes, within City No.7, those three Soul Towers, once deemed sacred and inviolable, were collapsing like Buzhou Divine Mountain shattered in myth, amid earth-shaking booms!

The massive tower bodies crumbled, raising a sky full of dust, resembling an apocalypse, causing everyone to tremble from the depths of their soul.

Almost at the moment the Soul Towers collapsed, above City No.7, hundreds of air carriers and thousands of Celestial Patrol Fighters turned their guns instantly, precisely targeting all their deadly firepower at the culprit responsible for this disaster.

On the ground, two figures emitting terrifying auras stepped forward, spanning thousands of meters to appear at the spot where the falling star landed.

Their aura was vast as the sea, far surpassing ordinary Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, surrounded by a sacred and powerful spiritual energy glow—those were the two Seraph-level Spiritual Ability Users stationed in City No.7.

With icy cold eyes, they locked onto the falling star, one of the Seraph-level Spiritual Ability Users, handsome and high-browed, spoke with a voice as cold as a frozen river, without the slightest emotion:

"I don't know by what means you managed to escape the monitoring of the Celestial Dome.

But at this place and time, we've completely locked this area with a space engine, you can't fly away!"

"Now, immediately explain your origin and purpose and voluntarily offer your soul to the

great Soul Heaven.

I might mercifully spare you, letting you attain eternal life in the Soul World."

The brilliance of the falling star gradually faded, revealing a middle-aged man with silver hair wearing a simple Daoist Robe.

He had a helpless bitter smile, as if somewhat surprised by the current situation.

He sighed softly and said, "I thought I could find the closest city and sneak in for some advantage, but didn't expect such bad luck, instead crashing into your carefully arranged ambush."

Then, the bitter smile on his face vanished, replaced by a reckless smile of disdain.

"But do you ants really think that such an insignificant array can stop me?"

As his words fell, the silver-haired middle-aged man's hair suddenly stood, transforming into countless sharp and unmatched sword energies.

The sword light fell like rain, overwhelming the entire massive defending army of City No.7.

At that moment, the sky seemed to freeze.

Be it air carriers or Celestial Patrol Fighters in the sky, or the well-prepared Spiritual Ability Corps on the ground, all appeared so insignificant and fragile before the terrifying sword light as if a divine punishment had descended.

The sturdy alloy armor was effortlessly torn like paper by the sword light.

The powerful Energy Shield shattered like foam under the sword light. Numerous lives were mercilessly reaped as if they were mere grass.

The two Seraph-level Spiritual Ability Users, who were previously high above, now showed incredulous fear on their faces.

They were shocked to find that their overwhelmingly powerful capabilities, hailed as the pinnacle of Spiritual Ability Users, couldn't even muster a trace of resistance against the sword light formed from seemingly random strands of hair.

Despite frantically mobilizing vast amounts of spiritual energy, even going as far as linking to the Sea of Spiritual Energy, they couldn't defend against that sword light.

The bodies they prided on, enhanced countless times, were easily cleaved in two by the sharp sword light, their rich life force swiftly drained like floodwaters.

All of City No.7's defense systems rapidly collapsed under the world-destroying sword light storm, crumbling in a manner akin to rotten wood.

Numerous Spiritual Ability Users fell amidst desperate screams, their blood staining the earth a shocking crimson.

The surviving Seraph-level Spiritual Ability Users used their last strength to send a ghastly distress signal to the headquarters of the Universal Giant Corporation.

Yet their call for help was like a stone sinking into the ocean, never receiving any response.

They would never know that within just a quarter of an hour, the entire Cyberpunk world experienced an attack on more than fifteen super cities of similar size or even larger than City No.7.

The Soul Towers within them were all simultaneously devastated.

Such enormous losses even caused the Celestial Dome to tilt, seemingly about to crash toward the earth.

Those cities slightly fortunate might only suffer the destruction of their Soul Towers without much other collateral damage.

While cities that relied on powerful force, attempting to resist, without exception, were entirely reduced to burning ruins in the aftermath of the terror battle, like a natural disaster descending.

The unfolding events were suffocatingly fast and tragically desperate.

And amidst this chaos and slaughter engulfing the world, even the god-like Title-level Reincarnators hadn't sensed anything.

The Heaven-covering Talisman crafted by Lu Yan successfully covered the celestial secrets and clouded the perception of the Intelligent God, its surface rune silently exerting another effect.

The runes, as if guiding from the Yellow Springs, led all unwilling and resentful souls from the battlefield.

These vast, high-quality souls, under rune guiding and numerous Heaven-covering Talismans' concealment, transformed into unseen dark torrents, traversing endless space, ultimately converging at one mysterious and unknown place.

That was the virtual world created by the cyber saint Anna under the rebel army of City No.14.
