From north to south, Qiming Avenue stretched through the city. Streetlights on both sides frequently emitted golden light. There were ritual magic circles on the streetlights, which absorbed divine power to maintain the lights. However, with the massive loss of divine power in Qiming City, the streetlights from the northernmost to the southernmost points quickly went out.
In just a few minutes, half the city was plunged into darkness. However, this was only the beginning.
On the southern outskirts of the city, a wind energy station with a ritual magic circle that could absorb divine power and transform it into divine wind also stopped after a few slow rotations. Immediately afterward, all the instruments that relied on divine wind to operate, and a vast area in all directions fell silent almost instantly.
Floating buildings maintained by divine power collapsed in groups, and dark rivers bound by divine power underground gushed out of the sewers.
The entire city was in chaos!
As the ruler of Qiming City, Zhao Han could be described as anxious. However, when he arrived at the Qiming lobby, his body seemed to be held down by ten strong men, and he was bound in the void, immobilized. He was shocked, but he couldn't express it.
Clearly, this was a high-level powerhouse making a move, and he didn't want him to approach the Qiming Hall. He could only watch as the people of Qiming City fought chaotically, their divine power gradually dissipating, and Qiming City began to turn into ruins from the outskirts...
Tears welled up in his eyes, but they wouldn't flow.
"How can I not absorb divine power from the sacred sea?" Amidst the intense battle, someone finally realized something was wrong.
"I can't absorb any more divine power!" "Me too, what's going on?"
Everyone looked around and found that many others were facing the same situation, which was rather strange.
"Was it the Qiming High Priest who made the move?" someone speculated. In Qiming City, only the Qiming High Priest had the ability to isolate divine power on a large scale.
However, no one responded.
They calmed down a bit and seemed inclined to suspend the fight, but the battle between humans, light races, and hybrids elsewhere was still intense, and their sense of the loss of divine power was becoming increasingly clear.
Not long after, a crashing sound came from afar, drawing everyone's attention. They looked to the source of the sound and saw a building over 50 meters tall collapsing near the city center south of Qiming City. They couldn't help but be shocked.
"Isn't that the Tower of Revelation? I remember when Qiming City was doing publicity, it was said that the Tower of Revelation was built with many new sacred arts and was indestructible. Why did it suddenly fall?"
Everyone understood that the sudden collapse of such a tower was completely abnormal.
"I'm so tired..." Mingzun, who had been activating the holy emblem excessively, suddenly said.
Priests' advantage was their divine skin and holy bones, and they were slightly more dependent on divine power than priests. So once their divine power was depleted to a certain extent, their bodies would experience adverse reactions.
Following this venerable figure, more priests began to experience adverse reactions.
This phenomenon immediately caught the attention of most people, and the intensity of the battle decreased slightly, but not completely stopped.
"Something's wrong! Something's wrong!"
More and more buildings collapsed, even fine cracks appeared in the ground, plants withered, priests fell to the ground in pain, and the city seemed to be slowly dying.
"Qiming City's divine power is no longer being restored!" "Don't fight, don't fight yet!"
"We might have fallen for a trick!" Some intelligent people began to react.
The divine power of a city is boundless. Dozens or hundreds of people fighting fiercely at the same time is unlikely to diminish much. But if tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people were fighting fiercely at the same time, then the situation is different.
"I suddenly feel that if we fight like this, I'm afraid it's not a ploy by the Light Supremacy Sect or the Demon Clan!"
"They're going to destroy Qiming City!"
Watching the collapsed buildings and the innocent people crushed to death in the distance, most of the Light people felt a little regretful. Although they wanted to expel humanity from Sacred Chenghai, they had never considered destroying Qiming City, much less killing so many innocent people.
However, there were also some Light people who felt no pity for this: "They're completely innocent." These people continued to fight, consuming divine power, making Qiming City's situation even worse.
At the same time, in the distant golden world at the bottom of the sea, a large number of Light people, whose minds had been eroded, were returning to normal. Looking at Ji Jiayu, who was still saving the Light people, their expressions were complicated.
There were many among them who opposed Ji Jiayu and the human race, and because of that, they were lured to this point by the Radiance Supremacy Sect. Now that Ji Jiayu was risking his life to save them, how could this calm their minds?
"Have you ever felt that the divine power in the direction of Qiming City has become much thinner?" Ji Jiayu, who was using the Holy Light Pearl to save the Guangming Clan, suddenly turned to Nie Lanxi and said, "I feel it," Nie Lanxi said.
"You say, isn't our Radiance Supremacy Sect targeting us this time?" Ji Jiayu had an ominous premonition.
The Radiance Supremacy Sect's philosophy was "light first, the rest second." Over the years, they had targeted not only the new Terran electors, but all races and hybrids.
Based on their current organizational situation and the Sacred Cult's attitude towards them, they were likely to be destroyed. In that case, if they wanted to do something before they were destroyed, destroying Qiming City seemed like a good option.
But did they have this ability? Perhaps not; Qiming City was a large city with a population of millions!
But what if?
Ji Jiayu's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes filled with worry as he looked at Nie Lanxi.
"If the Radiant Supremacy Sect really uses all its might to destroy Enlightenment City, what can you do?" Nie Lanxi was silent for a moment before saying, "You should resolve the matter at hand first."
Ji Jiayu gave a soft "hmm," then immersed himself in his work, speeding up slightly. After he had finally purified everyone in this golden world, without further words, he pulled Nie Lanxi into the air, breaking through the golden light shield, returning to the shore from the seabed, and then flying swiftly towards Qiming City.
From a distance, the two of them saw that Qiming City, originally filled with tall buildings, was almost in ruins. Dust covered the sky, and the golden light curtain on the sky dome presented an image in the golden world.
At this moment, the two of them had already emerged from the golden world, but in the image on the golden light curtain, Ji Jiayu was still saving humanity. As for the members of the Light Tribe, they had been completely demonized, their minds eroded, and they had wings behind their backs, sharp mouths and fangs, flying through the air.
When Ji Jiayu saw this scene, his face turned ugly. This was pouring dirty water!
