The endless dark clouds covered the sky, shrouding the entire mountain top.
Another bolt of lightning as thick as a barrel struck down, blasting a massive crater with a diameter of ten meters into the ground.
Streaks of purple electric currents flowed on the ground, like small snakes slithering around, spreading over ten meters before dissipating. The entire earth trembled, as if on the verge of collapse.
"What’s happening, why is it ?" Gongsun Yudie looked at Chen Nan with some panic.
Chen Nan held her, gripping her hand tightly. Although he was unsure himself, he couldn’t let Gongsun Yudie worry, and shook his head, saying, "It’s nothing, close your eyes, it will pass soon."
Chen Nan vaguely sensed something.
Such a sudden change in the sky, could all this be related to their child?
The dark clouds grew thicker, almost becoming solid. The sound of thunder was incessant, and lightning flashed and thundered in the sky. Bolts of lightning continued to strike down, creating huge craters around fifty meters away from Chen Nan and the others.
No one knew what was happening here, and the people from the Sky Sword Sect hurried to the back mountain. But upon seeing this scene, everyone stood far away, watching, not daring to take a step forward.
After all, the power of the Divine Thunder as thick as a barrel was not something they could withstand.
"Are you feeling any better?"
Chen Nan looked at Gongsun Yudie, who was sweating profusely from the pain, feeling extremely anxious.
Gongsun Yudie nodded with gritted teeth, though in truth she was in increasing pain. She said this only to ease Chen Nan’s mind.
How could Chen Nan not notice? He continuously transferred his Inner Strength to Gongsun Yudie, but to no avail. Gongsun Yudie trembled with pain, cold sweat dripping down her forehead, her hands resting on her belly, afraid something might happen to the child.
Despite his usual ruthlessness, seeing her in such pain brought tears to Chen Nan’s eyes. He gritted his teeth, saying, "I really wish there wasn’t this child, so you wouldn’t have to suffer !"
"No! He is our flesh and blood...you can’t say such cruel...cruel words!" Gongsun Yudie shook her head vigorously, her voice trembling from the pain.
Chen Nan clenched his fists tightly, wanting to take all the pain from Yudie himself, but he lacked the ability. All he could do was feel helpless and anxious at the side.
"You ungrateful little bunny, stop tormenting your mother!"
Hugging her trembling body closely, Chen Nan felt immense heartache.
In all his years, only when his junior’s Poison Fire flared up had he ever felt such heartache for anyone, except this time.
At this moment, the thick clouds in the sky seemed to have become entirely solid, like a fortress made of steel. The bolts of lightning striking down increased, encasing Chen Nan and Gongsun Yudie in a web of lightning.
Suddenly, the sound of metal clashing was heard.
From within the endless dark clouds came the sound of weapons clashing, followed by the sound of drums and shouting, turning the entire sky into a battlefield.
"God Demon weeps blood, all living beings perish!"
"Dying in battle is the ultimate end for a cultivator!"
Loud voices echoed, causing the void to tremble, and the war songs thundered, as if thousands of soldiers and horses were charging within the dark clouds, the sound echoing heavenward.
Chen Nan focused his eye power skyward, but saw nothing apart from the endless clouds and lightning.
The sounds of fighting and shouting continued without end within the clouds and grew increasingly fierce, reaching a peak after a full ten minutes, then gradually weakening, leaving only echoes reverberating between Heaven and Earth.
All the sounds of fighting ceased, and from the clouds, a scarlet glow began to emerge.
The red appeared extremely enchanting!
Like blood drifting in the clouds, the purplish-red glow appeared eerie.
Chen Nan felt Gongsun Yudie’s body tremble more violently, her cold sweat drenching her clothes. He could imagine the increasing pain she was enduring.
"Yudie, hang in there, it will be over soon."
Chen Nan could only encourage and give her strength, with no other options, believing that once the clouds dispersed, it would be fine.
"I’m not...not scared, with you here, I don’t...don’t fear."
Gongsun Yudie was completely drained of strength, collapsing softly into Chen Nan’s arms, clutching her belly in pain, trembling without pause.
At this moment, the scarlet glow within the clouds became increasingly bright, even casting a strong crimson glow, appearing exceedingly blinding.
When this red glow reached a peak, suddenly—
A cascade of crimson liquid fell from the clouds.
Chen Nan quickly raised his Protective Gang Qi, covering himself and Yudie within it.
The crimson liquid fell to the ground, instantly wilting grass and flowers, withering leaves, any living thing turned to ash in an instant. Chen Nan saw it all, realizing that the crimson liquid was indeed blood!
Blood rain was falling from the sky!
Everything happening here was even more bizarre than what he had seen in the Dead City before.
Chen Nan’s Protective Gang Qi blocked all the blood rain, tightly holding Yudie, unsure of when it all would end.
The torrential blood rain lasted for a minute, then gradually decreased. The moment the last drop of blood rain fell, a streak of jet-black light shot from the clouds, aiming straight for Gongsun Yudie’s belly.
Chen Nan was startled, quickly striking out with his palm to intercept.
However, the black light was incredibly strange, piercing through his Inner Strength, directly into Gongsun Yudie’s belly.
Chen Nan urgently asked, "Yudie, are you alright?"
The pain on Gongsun Yudie’s face gradually eased. She touched her belly, shaking her head in disbelief, "I’m okay, it doesn’t hurt at all."
Chen Nan sent his Inner Strength into her body, finding that the child’s temperature returned to normal, and that the black light was nowhere to be found, as if it had never been there.
"It’s good that you’re okay."
Chen Nan breathed a sigh of relief, deducing that the black light should pose no harm to Yudie and the child.
At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky began to stir again, a humming reverberating as if the whole sky were trembling.
The sound of fierce collision rang out, deafeningly loud.
Chen Nan shielded Gongsun Yudie behind him, looking up at the rolling clouds, seeing lights flickering within, showing no sign of calming.
He recalled what Xuan Tianji had said on the phone—"What should come cannot be avoided, and what shouldn’t come has arrived, but this might also not be a bad thing for you."
Chen Nan frowned deeply, could it be that more unexpected phenomena were going to occur?
