Twin Swords, Shattered Heavens New chapter

# Chapter 28 — The Thing Walking Out

# Sun City — Eastern Defensive Line

The silhouette inside the crimson gate slowly moved forward.

One step.

Then another.

And every movent shook the mountains beneath it.

BOOOOOM…

Dust and crimson mist poured endlessly from the gate while the giant crimson eye above the heavens pulsed violently in response.

The thing inside was coming out.

---

Nobody along the eastern defensive line spoke.

Not the guards.

Not the cultivators.

Not even the elders.

Because the pressure alone already felt suffocating.

---

Xu Yuan stared toward the distant silhouette while the resonance inside his chest continued pulsing painfully.

The closer the creature approached—

the stronger the strange connection beca.

And sowhere deep inside him—

sothing ancient responded.

---

Beside him—

Lin Hao slowly lowered the food skewer he had been eating nervously.

“…Why does every new monster beco larger?”

Xu Yuan calmly answered:

“Maybe smaller monsters died emotionally.”

“That sentence sohow made things worse.”

---

Nearby guards almost laughed despite themselves.

Fear mixed strangely with exhaustion now.

Everyone had beco too tired to panic properly anymore.

---

anwhile—

formation masters desperately reinforced the eastern defensive barriers again.

Golden spiritual lines illuminated across the walls while cultivators poured spirit stones into damaged towers continuously.

The city was preparing for another siege.

One far worse than before.

---

Then—

the massive silhouette finally stepped partially into view.

And the entire city froze.

---

It was humanoid.

But impossibly tall.

At least several hundred ters in height.

Ancient black chains wrapped around its body while massive crystal spikes grew from its back like broken mountains.

Its face remained hidden beneath darkness—

except for one thing.

Its eyes.

Dozens of crimson eyes slowly opened across its chest and shoulders.

Watching everything.

---

Several weaker cultivators collapsed imdiately.

One younger disciple whispered shakily:

“…That thing was sealed beneath our city?”

Nobody answered him.

Because nobody wanted to imagine the answer.

---

Then suddenly—

the creature stopped moving.

Its countless eyes slowly shifted across Sun City.

Searching.

---

Xu Yuan’s Observe ability activated automatically.

---

---

Xu Yuan almost cursed aloud.

The system truly enjoyed ruining his day.

---

Beside him—

Xia Yu suddenly grabbed his sleeve lightly.

Her silver eyes remained fixed on the distant entity.

“It’s looking for you.”

Xu Yuan quietly answered:

“I unfortunately noticed.”

---

Lin Hao imdiately stepped several steps away.

“I would like everyone to know I’m not related to him.”

Xu Yuan looked sideways.

“That feels disloyal.”

“That giant thing can hear souls!”

“…Fair.”

---

Suddenly—

BOOOOOOM!

The massive entity took another step forward.

And instantly—

part of the eastern mountains collapsed.

Entire sections of forest shattered beneath its weight while crimson mist exploded across the region violently.

---

Then—

the creature laughed.

Low.

Ancient.

Broken.

The sound echoed directly through the soul.

Several civilians throughout the city scread instantly.

Others fainted.

---

Xu Yuan’s vision blurred again.

Dark ruins flashed through his consciousness.

Ancient battlefields.

Falling heavens.

Black crystal oceans.

And standing before the giant entity—

a silver-haired woman desperately maintaining a formation alone while blood flowed from her eyes.

---

The vision shattered instantly.

Xu Yuan inhaled sharply.

---

Then—

the system screen flickered again.

---

---

Xu Yuan stared blankly.

“That’s not a mission,” he muttered quietly.

“That’s common sense.”

---

Xia Yu glanced toward him slightly.

“What?”

Xu Yuan imdiately shook his head.

“Nothing.”

“I’m suffering internally.”

Lin Hao nodded seriously.

“That part has been obvious for days.”

---

anwhile—

Zhao Tianhe stepped onto the highest formation tower overlooking the eastern district.

His cultivation pressure erupted fully for the first ti.

BOOOOOOM!

Massive crimson spiritual energy spread across the city instantly.

The strongest cultivator in Sun City finally revealed his full strength.

---

“All cultivators prepare for impact!”

His voice echoed across the city.

“No matter what happens—hold the line!”

---

Thousands of cultivators answered together.

Even frightened civilians looked toward the eastern walls hopefully now.

Because Zhao Tianhe still stood there.

And as long as he stood—

Sun City had not fallen yet.

---

Then suddenly—

the giant entity slowly raised one chained arm.

The sky darkened further instantly.

Crimson lightning spread across the clouds while the giant eye above pulsed violently.

---

Xu Yuan’s Observe ability activated again automatically.

And this ti—

he saw sothing horrifying.

---

The giant entity wasn’t attacking randomly.

It was targeting the city formations specifically.

Like it understood exactly how Sun City defended itself.

---

“It’s aiming for the formation core!”

Xu Yuan shouted instinctively.

Several elders instantly turned toward him.

---

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

The chained arm descended.

A massive wave of crimson spiritual energy crashed toward the eastern barriers like a falling ocean.

---

“DEFEND!”

Formation towers illuminated simultaneously.

Golden barriers rose throughout the city while cultivators released attacks together.

Countless spiritual techniques collided against the crimson wave.

The entire eastern sky exploded with light.

---

And then—

CRAAAAAAASH!

The outer defensive barrier shattered instantly.

---

Shockwaves tore through the eastern district violently.

Buildings collapsed.

Formation towers exploded.

Cultivators were thrown backward through streets.

The impact alone nearly destroyed half the defensive line.

---

Xu Yuan grabbed Xia Yu’s arm instinctively while both were blasted backward across broken stone.

Lin Hao scread sowhere nearby.

Probably alive.

Hopefully.

---

Dust filled the entire battlefield.

For several monts—

nobody could see anything.

---

Then—

through the smoke and destruction—

heavy footsteps echoed slowly.

BOOM.

BOOM.

BOOM.

---

The giant entity had entered the eastern district.
