Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2339

What could anyone do?

Unease brewed within everyone's chest, and with that came the wavering of their spiritual heart. Then, unmistakably, their combined strength crumbled.

Just as the National Barrier teetered on the brink of collapse, assailed by the relentless impact of the vortex and the precision strikes of the heavenly lightning, a sudden burst of golden light flared from the earth.

The very next second, Benjamin's golden light barrier surged forward, merging seamlessly with the faltering National Grand Array.

Two protective layers, forged together with the golden light, fused into a single, radiant barrier of gold.

The golden light barrier had always been Crisea's final line of defense. And now, it had taken the initiative to reinforce them with a silent, resolute declaration from the Dragon Vein.

"Do not give up. As long as we stand, we will resist the Divine Power. As long as we stand, Crisea will not fall."

Those who had once wavered in the face of the Divine Power now felt the surge of strength rising from the Dragon Vein. For reasons they couldn't explain, their eyes burned with heat.

At that moment, all hesitation and unease were cast aside.

They clenched their teeth and poured every ounce of power into the array once again. Having seen the devastation wrought by the Descent of the Alternate World in other nations, they couldn't allow their homeland to fall into the same terror.

Even if it meant exhausting their spirit or their life, they wouldn't retreat.

Still, the more they resisted, the more violently the Alternate Divine Power struck back.

The sky-splitting heavenly lightning strikes, woven together with the howling vortex, crashed down upon Crisea.

Those who had once laughed it off online, treating the Descent like a myth or meme, now finally felt its weight. It was a pressure so absolute it felt suffocating.

Beneath the earth, where his consciousness lay bound to the nine realms, Benjamin felt it first. He instinctively turned skyward toward the devouring vortex that churned at the edge of the world.

His golden light rose, acting as a silent signal that drew every gaze toward the skies. There, within the swirling back, a faint golden glimmer broke through.

The next instant, a thousand streaks of gold burst outward like blades of light, piercing through the suffocating black vortex. It was as though someone had torn a great wound open in the storm.

From that wound, golden light poured in, stabbing through the dark clouds and striking the earth, searing through the eyes of all who looked.

Reflexively, they shut their eyes. When they opened them again, they saw several glowing figures floating within that golden light.

Leading them at the forefront was a woman bathed in dazzling brilliance. She had several golden fox tails swaying quietly behind her, shimmering against the backdrop of a storm-wracked sky.
