# Chapter 29 — The Fallen Barrier
# Sun City — Eastern District
Dust swallowed the battlefield completely.
Broken stone filled the streets while shattered formation fragnts rained from the sky like burning stars. The eastern defensive line—
the strongest protection of Sun City—
had collapsed in a single attack.
And now—
sothing enormous walked through the ruins.
---
BOOM.
BOOM.
BOOM.
Each step shook the city itself.
---
Xu Yuan slowly pushed broken rubble off his body while coughing heavily.
Pain spread through his back and shoulders from the impact earlier, but fortunately—
nothing important seed broken.
Probably.
---
Nearby—
Xia Yu erged from collapsed debris calmly while silver spiritual energy dispersed surrounding dust around her body.
Even after the explosion—
she still looked composed.
---
Lin Hao, anwhile, climbed out from beneath half a wooden cart.
“I survived.”
Xu Yuan glanced toward him.
“That sounded genuinely surprising.”
“Because it genuinely is.”
---
Several nearby guards burst into exhausted laughter despite the destruction around them.
Fear made people strange during battle.
---
Then—
the dust slowly parted.
And everyone finally saw it clearly.
---
The giant chained entity stood inside the eastern district.
Towering above broken buildings like a walking mountain of black crystal and ancient flesh.
Its countless crimson eyes moved slowly across the ruined streets.
Watching.
Searching.
---
And every few seconds—
another black chain around its body cracked slightly.
---
CRACK…
The sound echoed like bones breaking across heaven itself.
---
Xu Yuan’s Observe ability activated imdiately.
---
> Seal Integrity: 41%
>
> Corruption Spread Increasing
>
> Ancient Entity Activity Rising
---
The system notifications sohow beca more terrifying every chapter.
---
Far below the giant entity—
corrupted creatures flooded into the city through shattered defensive lines.
This ti there were thousands.
Wolves.
Serpents.
Crystal humanoids.
An endless corrupted tide.
---
“Defensive formations failed!”
“Protect the civilians!”
“Retreat toward the inner district!”
Chaos erupted instantly again.
---
Zhao Tianhe shot through the sky above the battlefield while crimson spiritual energy exploded around him violently.
His spear illuminated like a falling star before crashing directly toward the giant entity’s head.
---
BOOOOOOOM!
The impact shattered nearby streets instantly.
Several nearby buildings collapsed from the shockwave alone.
---
For one brief mont—
the giant entity actually stopped moving.
---
Cheers erupted from nearby cultivators imdiately.
“The city lord pushed it back!”
“Attack together!”
“Drive it out!”
---
Then—
the giant entity slowly turned its head toward Zhao Tianhe.
And smiled.
---
Not a human smile.
Sothing ancient trying to imitate one.
---
Suddenly—
one chained arm moved faster than anyone expected.
BOOOOM!
The city lord was smashed through multiple buildings instantly.
Blood scattered through the air.
---
Silence spread across the battlefield.
Complete silence.
---
Xu Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
That thing was terrifyingly intelligent.
---
Then suddenly—
the giant entity’s countless eyes shifted again.
Toward him.
---
The resonance inside Xu Yuan’s chest exploded violently.
BOOOOOOM!
Black symbols spread briefly across his neck and arms before fading again.
Nearby cultivators imdiately noticed.
Fear spread visibly.
---
One wounded disciple stepped backward nervously.
“The symbols again…”
Another whispered:
“…That thing keeps reacting to him.”
---
Xu Yuan honestly wanted people to stop noticing that.
---
Then—
the giant entity spoke again.
Directly into everyone’s souls.
> “Fragnt…”
>
> “Return…”
---
The mont those words spread—
all corrupted creatures inside the city suddenly stopped moving.
Then simultaneously turned toward Xu Yuan.
---
Thousands of crimson eyes locked onto him instantly.
---
Lin Hao slowly looked around at the entire corrupted army staring toward them.
Then calmly said:
“I think this is a terrible situation.”
Xu Yuan nodded.
“That feels accurate.”
---
Even Xia Yu’s expression beca colder now.
Silver spiritual energy quietly gathered around her body again.
---
Then—
the giant entity raised one massive finger slowly.
Pointing directly toward Xu Yuan.
> “Bring… him…”
---
BOOOOOOM!
The corrupted army charged simultaneously.
---
The streets exploded into chaos instantly.
Cultivators collided against corrupted creatures throughout the district while spiritual attacks illuminated the ruined city endlessly.
---
Xu Yuan instantly drew his sword while dodging a crystal wolf lunging toward him.
SHING!
The beast split apart midair.
But two more replaced it imdiately.
---
Nearby—
Lin Hao fought desperately while yelling continuously.
“WHY ARE THERE SO MANY?!”
One Xu Family disciple shouted back:
“STOP TALKING AND ATTACK!”
“I FIGHT BETTER WHEN COMPLAINING!”
---
Even during life-and-death battles—
people still argued.
---
Xu Yuan suddenly noticed sothing strange.
The corrupted creatures attacking him seed… hesitant.
Aggressive.
But restrained.
Like they wanted to capture rather than kill.
---
Then suddenly—
a massive corrupted humanoid crashed through nearby ruins directly toward Xia Yu.
Too fast.
---
Xu Yuan moved instinctively again.
“XIA YU!”
---
The mont he reached her—
their spiritual energies synchronized completely.
BOOOOOOOOM!
Silver and black light exploded outward violently.
A massive resonance storm spread through the battlefield instantly.
Nearby corrupted creatures scread in agony.
Several exploded apart imdiately.
Others fled in terror.
---
And above the battlefield—
the giant crimson eye flickered violently.
---
The Observe ability activated again automatically.
---
> Resonance Synchronization: 32%
>
> Ancient suppression reaction detected
>
> Host compatibility increasing
---
Xu Yuan barely had ti to process the ssage.
Because the giant entity suddenly roared.
For the first ti—
actual anger appeared within its countless eyes.
---
The resonance between Xu Yuan and Xia Yu was interfering with sothing.
Sothing important.
---
Then—
deep inside Xu Yuan’s mind—
the cold ancient voice finally spoke clearly.
> “The pair must not fully awaken.”
---
Imdiately afterward—
the softer female voice whispered desperately:
> “Run before it rembers who you are…”
