"No way!" Seeing this scene, everyone's scalp felt numb.

They had never thought that the curse within this Cursed Land would explode out in such a short period of time and with such a terrifying method.

In just a short period of time, the entire Cursed Land's energy had greatly increased, and the curse energy it contained increased by hundreds of times.

Let alone seeing such a thing, they had never even heard of such a thing before.

Now, everyone realized that this was no ordinary Cursed Land but a peak-level Cursed Land.

Otherwise, it would not be so terrifying.

The consequences of this Cursed Land breaking out would be catastrophic.

Within the Cursed Land, because of the Holy Item, they were not affected by the curse energy.

However, the city in the distance would not be spared.

At that moment, many people's expressions changed.

Most people here were Curse Bearers or people from the government who lived in the surroundings.

In this world, there was nobody who was not attached to someone else, especially Curse Bearers like them.

Many of their friends or families were in the city.

Chen Rou's expression completely changed.

Her little brother was in the city.

Right now, he was most likely still at school.

"No!!"

Thinking to there, her face became ashen, and her expression was extremely grim.

This was not something anyone wanted to see.

Including the people from the government, everyone had vastly underestimated this Cursed Land and misjudged it.

From how the governmental personnel saw it, as long as the Alliance's people could come, they would be able to deal with this Cursed Land.

However, from the current situation, even if the Alliance's people came, they would just be coming to their own deaths.

The scene before them was extremely terrifying.

In the end, Chen Rou once again opened her eyes with a resolute gaze, "Let's go back! By now, our mission has failed, and there is no point continuing to stay here.

"If we're lucky, we might be able to make it back to the city in time and help those within to relocate."

As she spoke, she turned and looked at the others.

Meeting Chen Rou's gaze, the others silently nodded.

It was not that they did not have any other ideas, but everything lost meaning.

After all, even if they continued to stay here, they would just be waiting for death.

Their only chance at life was to leave this place and return to the city.

As for whether to leave the city or to stay there and help other people escape, that was a problem for later.

Outside, as the Cursed Land exploded out, changes began to happen.

As the curse energy spewed out, the Cursed Land began to come closer and closer to this city.

Hazy fog began to fill the air.

This fog was incredibly strange and covered the surroundings.

Different people had different responses to this.

Some people's expressions greatly changed as they immediately sensed the danger, but they did not know what was going on.

Evidently, this scene was quite rare.

On the other hand, most people continued on with their daily lives.

After all, to most people, these abnormal signs were quite strange, but their daily lives were more important.

Evidently, most people still did not know what they were about to face.

Ring ring ring…

The clear sound of a bell ringing sounded out.

Within a large classroom, a middle-aged man held a book as he diligently gave the lesson.

As the end of lesson bell rang, the teacher paused before smiling then dismissing the students.

After the student left, the students began to get up and headed out.

They either went out to play or walked with their friends as they talked.

Compared to the others, Chen Heng seemed very calm.

After the class ended, he took out a book and began to read.

Only when some sounds came from outside did he look over.

"Fog! Black fog!"

Shouts began to sound out.

Hearing this, Chen Heng turned and looked out before frowning.

Outside, there was a black fog spreading out.

Compared to normal fog, not only was this fog's color strange, but it also did not scatter under the sunlight and instead became denser and denser.

This strange scene attracted many people's attention.

"What a strange fog!" many people marvelled.

Sitting at his seat and looking at this scene, Chen Heng frowned.

"Curse energy?" sensing the energy in the surroundings, Chen Heng felt quite uncertain.

The fog that was filling the surroundings was an extremely pure and powerful curse energy.

However, compared to the curse energy that he had sensed in the past, this curse energy was much stronger and more terrifying.

The massive amounts of curse energy continuously appeared, almost covering this entire city.

Such a massive range and power made Chen Heng feel quite surprised.

As such, he looked around and sent his mental energy around to sense the situation.

This fog was condensed from curse energy, and even though it looked quite remarkable, it contained a strange and unique energy.

What was even more unique were the existences within the fog.

Sitting there, Chen Heng could sense that as the fog spread, there were many figures hidden within it, drawing closer.

Through his mental energy, Chen Heng could sense a bloody and gory aura.

Chen Heng immediately frowned.

"A Cursed Land?" Chen Heng muttered as he thought to himself.

He had heard Yang Cheng and Liang Xiao talk about Cursed Lands before.

In this world, Cursed Lands were usually in a different dimension, which would occasionally overlap with the real world.

As time passed, sometimes, Cursed Lands would be drawn to the real world and connect with it.

When that happened, the existences within Cursed Lands would often use this opportunity to charge into the real world.

Of course, those existences were not compatible with the real world.

If they directly appeared in the real world, it was easy for them to be suppressed by the real world's environment, causing them to dissipate.

As such they needed a medium.

This black fog was the curses' medium.

Within the black fog, the curses from the Cursed Land could use their full strength, and it would not be affected by the real world's environment.

"It's going to begin…" Chen Heng silently stood up and looked out.

His vision instantly reached a far away place.

"Almighty Holy Mother…"

Within a large church, prayers sounded out.

In various places, dense curse energy gathered and began to react.

Within the church, waves of light flashed.

Ordinary people could not see it, but waves of golden light shined from the Holy Mother statue, banishing the evil aura and protecting this region.

The part of his soul that Chen Heng had split off was still within the Holy Mother statue. It seemed to sense something and gradually opened its eyes.

In that moment, his main body and clone were connected, allowing him to see the scene there.

"Almighty Holy Mother… please send your divine power and destroy these demons…" the middle-aged Father prayed as his entire body shivered.

Different from the others, Chen Heng had given the Father a trace of power, allowing him to see the true situation in the surroundings. This made it so that he could see just how dangerous the situation really was.

In the surroundings, large amounts of curse energy was gathering and seemed like it would explode out at any moment.

From how the middle-aged Father saw it, this curse energy was filled with evil.

Right now, only under the Holy Mother's statue in the church did he feel some peace and safety.

That was why he was staying here.

"Looks like I need to leave."

At that moment, through his clone, Chen Heng understood the situation.

Right now, he could sense how dangerous the situation was.

This city already had one foot in the abyss of destruction and would soon be reduced to ruins.

This was undoubtedly a great danger, but there were also opportunities within.

It just depended on if one would grasp them.

For most people, the invasion of a Cursed Land was a catastrophe.

However, for Chen Heng, as long as he did not make any mistakes, he might be able to make some gains.

Thinking to there, Chen Heng smiled, and as others watched on in shock, he slowly walked forwards.

His figure was quickly covered by the fog and devoured by it.

In the surroundings, dense curse energy was devouring all lifeforce, and many people had already become victims.

If this went on, it would just be a matter of time until this entire city was destroyed.

Walking in the black fog, Chen Heng could occasionally hear some sounds.

It seemed to be an emergency announcement, telling residents to evacuate.

It seemed that by now, the government also realized that there was no way of turning the situation around.

As such, they began to relocate residents, trying to mitigate the damage.

However, by now, it was a bit too late.

This city was not small, and millions of people lived in it.

With such a figure, it would not be easy to evacuate all of them.

Chen Heng continued walking forwards, not seeming like he had any intentions of stopping.

Curses would occasionally rush at him and collide into him.

However, Chen Heng did not react at all, while the curses that collided into him all scattered and dissipated.

Even though Chen Heng was surrounded by curse energy, he was not affected.

He soon arrived at his destination, the church.

Outside the church, there were a few corpses lying there.

The corpses' faces were twisted and savage as if they had suffered greatly before dying.

There were curses gnawing at the corpses, seeming incredibly excited.

Seeing this, Chen Heng shook his head and waved his hand.

Energy spread out, causing the curses to go through changes and dissipate.

Only some black fog remained after that.

Following this, Chen Heng walked on.

Chen Heng could see that under the corrosion of the curse energy, many places had been corroded and infected by the Cursed Land's aura.

Only the church had been protected; waves of golden light created a domain that the curse energy could not enter.

This golden light was the divine energy that Chen Heng had left behind.

From what Chen Heng could sense, there were many people hiding behind it.

Among those figures, Chen Heng could sense a familiar aura.

Sensing this, Chen Heng walked forwards.

"Don't go in," a voice sounded from behind.

Without realizing it, two figures had appeared behind Chen Heng.

They looked at Chen Heng and said seriously, "At this point in time, everywhere has fallen into chaos. Rather than wasting time here, it's better to leave earlier."

It was the elder and young man who had come to listen to Chen Heng's sermon before.

They had already made preparations to leave this city.

It was not too difficult for them to make this decision—after all, from how they saw it, there was no hope for this city. Even if they stayed here, they would just be waiting for their deaths.

As such, leaving here was the best decision.

However, before that, they came here to see if they could bring Chen Heng with them.

After all, the unique power that Chen Heng had displayed had left a deep impression on them.

Given that the city was going to be destroyed, they expected him to readily agree to go with them.

However, they were surprised to find that after hearing their words, Chen Heng did not react much. He only slightly paused before continuing to walk forwards.

As they watched on, he slowly walked towards the church.

As if it sensed his approach, the church's doors opened.
