I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1420

Chapter 1420: Chapter 551: The Empress Takes Action! Strongest of the Present vs. Strongest of a Millennium Ago!

Tiandu City.

Rumble——

A thunderous roar erupted from beneath, lifting the ground of blue bricks high, then slamming it back down. The houses on both sides of the street were swaying like ships in rough seas, ready to be shattered by giant waves at any moment!

Bottomless chasms spread underfoot, and under that terrifying destructive force, the entire Capital City was like fragile paper being recklessly crumpled!

Due to the suddenness of it all, with no warning, the citizens in the city were completely unprepared as the nightmare descended abruptly!

"Earthquake! Run quickly!"

In panic-stricken cries and wails, the once bustling and prosperous street instantly descended into chaos.

Street vendors had their heads broken by falling tiles, abandoning their stalls to run for their lives; a flower girl was knocked over by the crowd, the basket of flowers in her arms trampled to pieces by countless feet; the entrances of tea houses and taverns were crowded, as everyone pushed and shoved to escape, with some customers on the second floor simply breaking open windows to leap out...

However, outside was not safe either; scorching heat surged from the earth’s cracks, the blistering temperatures instantly turning people to charcoal!

The inner city was already filled with cries of despair. When those living on the outskirts realized something was amiss and tried to flee, they found the city gates surrounded by a barrier of blood-red light.

Someone tentatively reached out to touch it, and flesh was instantly corroded away, exposing stark white bones!

This was an extremely dense Evil Qi that the mortal flesh simply could not withstand. Even a slight touch would turn one into a pool of blood within moments!

"Ahhh, my hand!"

"Something’s wrong, don’t touch it! Quick, turn back!"

The people at the forefront tried to turn back, but at this moment, large crowds of citizens were still rushing forward, unaware, driven by fear to keep pushing ahead.

"Retreat!"

"The gates are sealed shut!"

"Stop pushing, everyone will die if you keep this up!"

No matter how the city guards shouted, it was to no avail. They could only watch helplessly as the people at the front were forcibly pushed onto the blood barrier, screaming as they disintegrated into bloody mush.

Immediately, those behind were pushed forward again, continually pouring into death...

Such scenes were playing out in every corner of the Capital City. In less than half an hour since the disturbance began, Tiandu City had become a living hell!

"Wuwuwu..."

"Mother, where are you..."

On Ming’an Street, a little girl who had been separated from her family crouched by the roadside, her eyes swollen and red, sobbing uncontrollably.

Beside her was a crowd of panicked people, with no one paying her any attention.

Boom——

Another wave of earthquake struck, the wall behind the little girl teetering on the brink of collapse, ready to bury her.

Just then, an invisible ripple spread out, as if the pause button was pressed, everything froze in an instant.

Immediately, a translucent peach tree appeared out of nowhere, its lush leaves spreading out to shelter the little girl and the surrounding citizens, while its roots extended deep underground, forcibly closing the fissures. The once tumultuous street instantly stabilized.

"Fairy Sister?"

The little girl looked up into the sky, murmuring.
