Almost not even a microsecond was used.
The moment Li Hai opened the Cave Heaven portal and fiercely 'bit off' that large chunk of the sky canopy, causing the entire mysterious force field framework structure to suddenly become deficient, and then causing it to instantly disappear as a whole.
The boundless, infinite, azure crystal sky canopy above his head, resembling an inverted land, began a tragic, collapsing downfall.
Crack, crack, crack, crack—
—
Centered around the circular 'empty space' a few zhang in diameter above Li Hai, countless fine cracks instantly appeared.
And in the very next moment, they thickened from fine to coarse, deteriorating into countless hideous ravines that covered all of the sky canopy within Li Hai's sight, from near to far.
From the perspective of countless 'people' on the ground, it was as if the blue sky and the scorching sun above their heads instantly vanished, turning into complete darkness.
Thus, tens of millions of vampires and werewolves living in various cities and regions of the United States looked up in astonishment, all gazing at the dark sky with utter confusion:
"What's going on?"
"Why did the sky suddenly turn dark?"
"Oh, Da Ggun, what in the world happened?"
"I don't know why, but I suddenly have an ominous premonition."
"Is it a typhoon?"
"Fuck, why didn't the damned weather bureau issue a warning?!"
And just as the vampires and werewolves across the United States were either timidly uneasy, greatly perplexed, indignantly resentful, or silently speechless.
Suddenly, boom!!
Under a deafening roar, formed by the overlapping sounds of countless collapsing explosions, the boundless sky canopy covering the entire firmament of this world suddenly shattered completely.
It instantly exploded into countless crystalline fragments, large and small, raining down like billions of raindrops, crashing onto all the oceans and lands below.
At the same time, countless billions of true sunbeams suddenly shone forth from beyond the completely shattered sky, instantly covering every corner of this world.
Consequently, all the vampires and werewolves in the Bloody Federation United States who were standing outside buildings, exposing their bodies to the scorching sunlight.
All screamed in agony, burning and collapsing in immense pain, rapidly turning into puddles of charred black ash.
The speed was so rapid that they couldn't even utter a single last word.
As for Li Hai, whether these dark species, who had troubled humanity for a thousand years, felt fear or regret in the face of such a world-ending disaster, was actually completely unimportant; this was standard female-oriented thinking.
He only wanted all these scumbags to be exterminated.
Getting back to the main topic, after the first wave of large numbers of vampires and werewolves who were literally burned to death by the true sun, those survivors who happened to be in various buildings and miraculously survived also did not last long.
Just as they were either confused, terrified, bewildered, or relieved, the meteor shower, composed of countless billions of sky canopy fragments, descended, carrying the terrifying high temperature generated by friction with the several-mile-thick dense atmosphere, and the horrifying kinetic energy relentlessly pulled by the Earth's gravity, covering and smashing the entire world below.
Just as a sandcastle on the beach instantly melts and disappears after a downpour, hundreds and thousands of high-rise buildings, venues, parks, gardens, and everything else in the cities of the Bloody United States.
Also rapidly caught fire, burned, collapsed, and disintegrated, turning into vast piles of city ruins, under the baptism and scouring of the meteor shower.
Thus, another large group of vampires and werewolves tragically died in this doomsday disaster, their bodies pulverized beyond recognition.
As a result, these two major dark species populations, in a short period of time, died out by ninety-nine point nine nine percent due to Li Hai's actions alone, with only a very few individuals barely surviving in various subways, basements, and shelters.
Li Hai did not intend to seek out and kill these last remaining survivors one by one.
Because their bodies, which had deteriorated to an incomparably weak state due to the Age of Dharma Decline environment, simply could not survive for long in such a tragic situation where industrial civilization was almost completely destroyed, and showing their heads in the light meant instant death.
At most, they could only form some weak Waste Land groups to barely survive.
What truly attracted Li Hai's attention far more than these dark remnants at this moment was that after shattering this boundless sky canopy, he clearly saw the desolate full extent of this alien world.
Yes, beyond the world where vampires and werewolves lived, there was an incomparably desolate, bleak, dry, and silent brownish-gray rocky land.
And the extent of this barren land was extremely vast, astonishingly large,
So large that even Li Hai, even with his terrifying eyesight.
After hovering at an altitude of forty-seven thousand li, straining to gaze in all directions.
He still could not see any end, nor could he see anything other than brownish-gray earth and stone.
It was as if this world had always been like this, had never changed.
But Li Hai didn't believe it.
"Something must have happened, otherwise it wouldn't have become like this."
As he murmured, he lowered his head and looked down.
Immediately, Li Hai, suspended at an altitude of forty-seven thousand li, clearly saw the full extent of the world where the vampires and werewolves resided.
It was, astonishingly, a miniature garden world, completely encircled and confined by a hundred-kilometer-thick azure ice wall.
Viewed from high altitude, this roughly circular miniature garden world, internally, aside from the outermost part near the ice wall being polar permafrost.
All other areas were vast oceans, along with some almost negligible tiny islands.
Only the very center, occupying a few percent of the world's total area, was land.
That is, the United States continent where vampires and werewolves lived.
And after witnessing all of this, the first thought that came to Li Hai's mind was that this world must have been artificially created.
No matter how miraculously skillful nature was, it could not carve out a world of this appearance.
"So—who would be so idle?"
Li Hai murmured, surprised, "Creating such a large miniature landscape, it couldn't just be to pass the time, could it?"
After speaking to himself for a few moments, he swooped down towards the polar ice wall of this massive miniature garden world.
After flying for a full fifteen minutes, Li Hai traversed tens of thousands of li and reached the outermost edge of a certain row of towering ice walls in this miniature garden world.
Standing there, he looked down again and was astonished to find that this miniature garden world was indeed like an artificial miniature landscape.
It was actually supported and propped up by an unknown number of massive, thick stone pillars, resembling World Trees, placed on the vast barren land outside this realm.
And just as Li Hai was momentarily stunned, one of the massive stone pillars supporting the miniature garden world beneath his feet suddenly caught his eye.
In a corner on the surface of that stone pillar, there was, astonishingly, a tightly closed silver metal portal embedded.
