The gravitational singularity exploded, bringing forth the creation of a brand new world. Majestic light drowned the outer space and it was as if everything had returned to the scene in which the universe was just born after the Big Bang. All living creatures ceased to exist and even space itself no longer existed.

　　Endless amount of light filled up the space and drowned everything.

　　The Three Dimensional Absolute Killing Formation that the three Marshals joined forces to put up was also destroyed.

　　The powers of the three dimensional spaces were nothing before the simulated universe’s Big Bang, even at the origin level. They were instantly shattered.

　　“Humans, none of you shall escape today! Perish with me in this universe! I curse you! I curse that you will fight and kill each other! Hehehe…” The mother of the spirit race disappeared without a trace, leaving behind that extremely vicious curse that came from its soul. The deepest malevolent intent in the universe landed onto the many interstellar humans, including Feng Lin. It caused them to shiver uncontrollably, feeling that something was really bad.

　　At the next instant, the voice dissipated and the mother of the spirit race lost all traces of its life.

　　It used the self-explosion as a price to erupt with such terrifying prowess. The gravitational singularity exploded, bringing forth a world-annihilating disaster for the universe.

　　Feng Lin and all the other interstellar humans, the three Marshals included, had no chance to react before they were completely drowned by the stretch of light, disappearing without a trace.

　　About ten or more minutes later, the light dissipated once again.

　　Feng Lin and the others reappeared and stood at the same spot as before in a daze, completely unscathed. It seemed as if nothing had happened and they hadn’t gotten back to their senses.

　　Things ended just like that?

　　They felt stunned.

　　Nothing happened after all that massive explosion had taken place?

　　They were not overjoyed but were shocked instead. The mother of the spirit race had used its life as a price to unleash an ultimate killing attack. It was impossible for things to be so simple, having a strong start but a weak finish.

　　It was even more terrifying because nothing had happened!

　　The unknown was the most terrifying!

　　Without knowing what had happened and what would come, there was no way for them to fend off anything.

　　Everyone looked around with their guards up. They had suffered a huge blow earlier on and didn’t dare to be careless.

　　Cold sweat dripped down their faces and no one spoke up for very long. The silence brought about great despair.

　　This silence went on for over one hour.

　　Finally, there was someone who couldn’t stand this silent torture and spoke up, “Hey! Things should be fine now, right?”

　　“We mustn’t let down our guards! Everyone be extremely careful!” The Interstellar Warfare Marshal ordered through the communication channel, staring toward the surroundings with gleaming gazes and not losing the slightest detail.

　　However, nothing came even after a very long time had passed. Although no one said anything, their willpower was insufficient to keep up with a prolonged period of tension, and it was inevitable for them to let down their guards.

　　Ahhhh…

　　A series of heart-wrenching shrieks suddenly rang out. Pain, despair, vengeance… It was like an agonizing cry that one struggled to release on the verge of death. It was hair-raising.

　　What had happened?

　　Everyone looked around warily and instantly saw an interstellar warrior grabbing his face with both hands, forcibly clawing through it with his fingers as if he was out of his mind. His flesh was scratched off, revealing eerie white bones and blood kept flowing down. It didn’t take long for the person to become hideous like a vicious ghost.

　　His body also kept on twisting and his skin erupted, with pus flowing out, and he exploded from inside.

　　Urghhhh….

　　Such a horrifying scene made many people feel disgusted and wanted to vomit.

　　The dilapidated physical body rapidly withered and turned into ashes. It was as if all the life essence had been sucked dry.

　　“Pay attention!” Feng Lin’s eyes contracted suddenly and he let out a bellow. He had a strong instinctive feeling that something wasn’t right.

　　Although that interstellar warrior’s physical body had been destroyed, his spirit force spread out and he detected that something invisible had come out.

　　The moment that invisible thing appeared, it roamed in the outer space, pouncing toward the next interstellar warrior.

　　It was a living creature!

　　Sending his spirit force into his eyes, Feng Lin suddenly saw a human-shaped fog-like spirit that looked exactly the same as that interstellar warrior before he had died.

　　Right now, he no longer had any human characteristics but was filled with vengeance and viciousness instead. He pounced straight for his comrades.

　　Feng Lin was far away and couldn’t stop him in time. At the next instant, the second person had fallen and started howling in pain like the previous one did. His physical body started to break down and his soul turned into an aggrieved spirit.

　　This strange abnormality quickly spread out like plague, acting up consecutively on the outside borders of the battlefield, heading inward.

　　Many living humans howled out in pain, screaming as they turned into spirits!

　　“What?”

　　“What on earth happened?”

　　“What the hell are these?”

　　…

　　The unknown was the most terrifying.

　　The many valiant warriors who were fearless when facing the spirit army were now filled with horror.

　　Their comrades had turned into spirits and they had no idea what was the cause of this!

　　This was scarier than death itself!

　　They instinctively scattered off, but the situation was like that of a plague and there was no way for them to escape. All of their struggles appeared so helpless.

　　Many people turned into new spirits in succession, spreading out at an unstoppable rate. Everything was like a curse from hell that sought for their lives, and there was nowhere for them to escape to.

　　“Don’t panic! Since they’ve turned into spirits, then kill them! Let these martyrs die in peace and don’t let them become tainted even after their deaths!” The Interstellar Warfare Marshal issued a merciless order to kill amidst the chaos and was the first to take action.

　　His finger tapped out repeatedly, sending lumps of energy, shooting out explosively and accurately hitting those human-shaped spirits. His attacks caused them to dissipate and he was merciless, not holding back in the least.

　　The Marshal made the first move. Feng Lin and the others wore grim countenances, but for the sake of mankind, they mustn’t be wiped out here. They could only choose to raise their blades against their comrades that had started to turn into spirits.

　　In fact, those people were also suffering and in a state that was worse than death. There were even some of them who were pleading to be killed. “Quick! Kill me! Let me die honorably as a human! Don’t let me become a spirit!”

　　When the massacre blade came down, those people wore relieved expressions and said, smiling, “Thank you…”

　　It was an extremely gruesome scene for comrades of the same race to be killing each other.

　　Suddenly, the battlefield was filled with humans killing each other. The curse that the mother of the spirit race had said before its death had come true.

　　However, as the killings continued on, Feng Lin noticed that something was amiss.

　　They had immediately killed those who had started to turn into spirits, and their reactions were fast enough that they should have cut off the source of the invisible plague. Why was it that there were still endless people starting to turn into spirits and there was no end to killing them?

　　There must be a deeper reason behind this. If this continued, humans would have wiped out themselves before the plague spread out.

　　“Stop!” Feng Lin was shocked and immediately bellowed loudly. “The human-shaped spirits are just the carriers of the curse! There’s a deeper reason why our comrades have started to turn into spirits!”

　　However, blood was splattering on the battlefield and everyone was too tensed up.

　　His voice was instantly drowned and he didn’t get any reply.

　　Feng Lin glanced over and saw that even the three Marshals seemed to be amiss. Their countenances were dark and they appeared to be driven by madness. Each of them emitted an eerie and cold aura like those of spirit race.

　　An aura of despair and dead silence spread out. No one could escape.

　　Buzz?

　　Feng Lin suddenly felt something strange as the Monkey King Domain seemed to have received an unknown impact. Something wanted to invade his body but was fended out

　　The Heart Monkey Force could close off the curse!

　　Feng Lin was elated. Was that mysterious energy that had invaded the Monkey King Domain what caused humans to turn into spirits?

　　However, the strange thing was that no matter how he scanned with his spirit force, he couldn’t detect any traces at all!

　　No, that wasn’t right!

　　Feng Lin noticed that the background radiation of the universe underwent a change. Its intensity had turned a lot darker, like the starry sky had been covered by a layer of shadow.

　　The true outer space was absolute darkness with radiations.

　　According to scientific studies on the cosmic microwave background (CMR), it was discovered that there was electromagnetic radiation left behind millions and millions of years after the Big Bang. They involved the essence of the universe’s space.

　　This formless shadow had already seeped into the universe’s essence and even the three Marshals couldn’t escape from it.

　　This was at the level of altering the universe’s data and distorting the universe’s rules.

　　This also meant that under this shadow, all matter-based lifeforms would automatically break down and be turned into spirit lifeforms. This was the universe’s rules that were produced after the distortions.

　　Although Feng Lin had seen through this, he still felt a deep sense of helplessness.

　　He was only a grand cultivator at the moment and was far from being capable of altering the law of the universe.

　　Disaster of the universe!

　　A true disaster of the universe permeated the outer space. No one could escape and there was nowhere to escape to.

　　As the transformation from humans to spirits increased, those people who were engrossed in the killings finally realized that something wasn’t right. They noticed that they had unknowingly been assaulted by the curse and were showing signs of turning into spirits.

　　Under the great shock, they quickly circulated their mythological genes to fend off the assault of the spirit curse.

　　However, this could only delay the process in which they turned into spirits.

　　It was not known how the curse started and there was no way of eliminating it from the roots. They kept on coming in waves.

　　No matter how high one’s cultivation was, there was a limit to their mythological genetic power. However, the power of this curse seemed as if it was endless.

　　Once the genetic power was depleted, they would all turn into spirits and sink for eternity.

　　Feng Lin wasn’t in a good state either.

　　The Monkey King Domain had separated the space around and blocked the power of the curse outside.

　　Amidst the collisions, the Heart Monkey Force was also depleting rapidly.

　　If things were to continue like this, he’d just be waiting for death.

　　Looking at the three Marshals who were putting up a tough struggle, Feng Lin knew that there was no one he could rely on now. He’d be better off relying on himself! He must save himself!

　　Since his capabilities were insufficient at the moment, then what he should do was to go one notch higher!

　　Feng Lin had long since reached the bottleneck to break through to the next great realm. He was only one step away.

　　There was no other choice now.

　　He must, right now, immediately… awaken the Sun Wukong Gene. Only then would he have a chance at survival.
