Book 7, Chapter 93: Illegal Stowaways 1
Off at the horizon.
At the largest crack in the Barrier, where Su Chen and the G.o.ds had once faced off, a large commotion was unfolding.
Sky City was the first to arrive.
Its giant figure slowly appeared off in the distance, floating in the direction of the Barrier like a looming stormcloud.
Next, the Demon-Executing Cannon began to rise from the top of the Perpetual Daylight Palace.
The cannon took aim at the crack, then fired at it.
A terrifyingly powerful column of lightning shot forth, generating a brilliant explosion of light. It seemed as if they were planning on tearing down the Barrier by force.
Of course, if a single cannon strike was enough to destroy it, then it wouldn’t have been the Barrier of the G.o.ds in the first place.
The Barrier possessed powerful regenerative properties. During the past few years, the G.o.ds had been wearing down at its regenerative rate, but all they had managed to do was slow it down.
The Demon-Executing Cannon was temporarily widening the fissure, but it would not last forever, as the Barrier would slowly begin to regenerate.
Thankfully, Su Chen didn’t need it to last.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The G.o.d-Executing Cannon began to fire continuously, causing tremendous amounts of damage.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, the cannon was not able to fire repeatedly at maximum power, but Su Chen had forced the Craftsmen to make appropriate changes to make it possible.
Every time it fired, the cannon would deal a tremendous amount of damage to itself.
After nearly a dozen explosions, the cannon itself cracked.
The Origin Realm’s most powerful cannon had been destroyed just like that.
Even so, this was worth it.
At the same instant that the cannon shattered, a giant rumbling began to sound out.
An anchor exuding a profoundly ancient aura began to snake out of Sky City, heading straight for the Barrier. The long anchor clanked repeatedly, seemingly unending in length.
The anchor continued to extend into the fissure, pa.s.sing through the Barrier and connecting the two worlds.
The Barrier’s fracture was filled with powerful spatial energy. Any lifeform would have an incredibly difficult time pa.s.sing through.
The Deep Sea Anchor, however, was an exception. It was designed to cross realms, after all.
And the Deep Sea Anchor was also capable of stabilizing the surrounding s.p.a.ce. As soon as the anchor pa.s.sed through the fracture, the Barrier temporarily lost its regenerative properties.
The fracture had been widened, and the pressure on the Barrier was also weaker.
Boom!
The anchor finally landed on the other side. As it collided with Kun’s territory, it began to glow with a brilliant light.
Near the Wild Red Hills.
The Shadowless Sky Church’s disciples were quite busy.
They held candles in their left hand and Shadowless Spheres in their right hands, standing in well-defined positions. On the ground, they had drawn specific, color-coded patterns.
The moment that the Deep Sea Anchor broke through the Barrier, all of the disciples began to sing. Their chants filled the open sky, and under the influence of divine power, began to influence the surrounding Method Power.
Frost was dressed in the Church’s robes, and he stood on the highest platform, gently muttering to himself. It looked as if he was praying, but he was actually communicating with the main body.
On Sky City.
Su Chen sat with his eyes closed, in deep thought.
Suddenly, he lifted his head and said, “The connection has been established. We can proceed to phase two.”
The sonorous ring of a bell began to echo throughout the city.
Sky City itself began to glow brilliantly.
The two formations in the Origin Realm and in Kun’s territory activated simultaneously, communicating with one another. The Deep Sea Anchor, which was serving as the connector, began to rattle and shake.
Immediately afterwards, a series of humanoid figurs shot towards the Barrier. Upon closer inspection, those figures were Su Chen’s t.i.tan-Cla.s.s Puppets.
At this point, however, Su Chen’s t.i.tan army numbered in the thousands.
In order to construct this army, Su Chen had basically used up all of the rare metals he had on hand. Now, the plan’s success hinged on them.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Puppet after puppet charged into the fissure.
Because they possessed no vitality, they would be the least affected by the Barrier. Furthermore, because they had been constructed with large quant.i.ties of Void Starmetal, they possessed power akin to spatial Method Power. This further enhanced their resistance to the spatial fluctuations present in the Barrier’s fraction. Otherwise, Su Chen would not have been able to send Number One through the Barrier to Frost.
Upon entering the Barrier, they lined themselves up against the Deep Sea Anchor from end to end.
Then, all of the t.i.tan-Cla.s.s puppet simultaneously sprang into action. The glow of spatial Method Power appeared on their bodies. They became a pure ball of light centered around the Deep Sea Anchor, which quickly filled the entire fissure.
“The connecting bridge has been completed!” Lin Shaoxuan cried out in excitement.
“Prepare to enter!”
“Prepare to enter!”
“Prepare to enter!”
Following these cries, human figures began to fly into the sky, heading for that ball of pure white light. They charged through the fissure, with the Gu Clan’s Ancestor Gu Huiming leading the way. Behind him were Gu Changsheng, Gu Feihong, Gu Xinrong, and the other Gu Clan elders. Behind them were Li Wuyi, Feng Zhuying, Jiang Jusheng, and the other human emperors.
The Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators, with the exclusion of Su Chen, were the first ones to charge into the fissure.
After they entered the ball of pure white light, they directly flew towards the other side of the fissure. Surprisingly, the Barrier’s violent spatial fluctuations did no damage to them.
That was the use of the connecting bridge.
By using the Deep Sea Anchor as a foundation and the t.i.tan-Cla.s.s puppets as the bridge’s wooden slats, Su Chen had managed to construct a powerful bridge that could withstand the Barrier’s might. Living creatures could now safely pa.s.s through to the other side.
A moment later, the Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators pa.s.sed through the other side of the fissure, appearing in the sky above Kun’s territory.
“Is this Kun’s territory?”
“It seems quite unimpressive to me. I can already sense the limitations that this patch of land possesses.”
“If even we can sense the limitations, those G.o.ds must be having quite a hard time.”
“No wonder they are so determined to cross over.”
“But they’re mistaken if they think it’ll be that easy!”
“Let’s go down below!”
They wasted no time after commenting on the general situation and began to descend.
Gu Huiming and the others descended to the color-coded patterns below. The ones they landed on were the purple ones.
Every time one of them landed, an inscription beneath them would begin to glow.
By now, quite a few people were beginning to appear in the sky.
Behind the Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators came the Demonic Emperors.
Even though many of them had died during the battles in the wilderness, quite a few of them were still alive. And because periods of resurgence often came after death and destruction, new Demonic Emperors began to appear. In but ten or so years, another hundred Demonic Emperors had appeared. There were still far more of them than human Emperor Realm cultivators - a testament to their reproductive abilities.
After the Demonic Emperors came the Thought Manifestation Realm cultivators and the Demonic Kings.
The number of cultivators at the Thought Manifestation Realm were much, much greater.
During the past few years, the Boundless Sect finally had its first ascension to the Thought MAnifestation Realm.
And given the Boundless Sect’s unique properties, these ascensions would come in waves.
As soon as one broke through, they would begin to appear by the hundreds.
Previously, the human race held no more than two hundred Thought Manifestation Realm cultivators.
In a few short years, that number had skyrocketed to around five thousand.
Even the Demonic Beasts could not compare to that kind of increase.
Thought Manifestation Realm cultivators rained down from the sky like dumplings.
Their targets were the gold patterns. A similar phenomenon occurred when they landed, as the corresponding patterns began to glow.
The Shadowless Sky G.o.d’s disciples, who were on the outermost layers, continued to pray in earnest. Their prayers were converted to Method Power, filling the air above the formation with divine power. Even if there were G.o.ds observing the current situation, they would think that this power came from the great Shadowless Sky G.o.d. Perhaps he was preparing to lure the Origin Beast towards the Barrier.
It took some time for all the Demonic Kings and Thought Manifestation Realm cultivators to descend.
Next were the Spirit Burning Realm cultivators and the Demonic Lords.
Their numbers were even more terrifying.
To date, the Boundless Sect possessed around thirty thousand Spirit Burning Realm cultivators. Because of the distribution of the Flying Immortal Cultivation Techniques, the human race’s numbers had reached around a hundred thousand.
That was a truly terrifying figure.
Humans continued to pour into the other side via the bridge.
No one dared to tarry for even a moment, because doing so would impede the advance of others behind them. Su Chen had decreed that no one was allowed to stop, even if they somehow died in the process. The people behind them were allowed to squeeze the person in front of them as much as they pleased. Anyone who did stop would be killed on the spot.
Such a draconian rule led to an unstoppable charge.
The connecting bridge became a march of death, forcing everyone along it to charge forwards without rest. The slower individuals would either enter later or they would be forcefully pushed along by the people behind them.
In any case, no one dared to stop.
Even so, it still took a long time for nearly a hundred thousand cultivators to cross the bridge.
Humans poured through the sky like a swarm of insects, covering the entire territory.
By the time all of them landed, nearly half a day had pa.s.sed. A sizeable crowd had gathered on the ground, and the giant formation beneath their feet was beginning to appear more and more complete.
This formation was composed of hundreds of Ultimate Emperor Realm-level existences, nearly ten thousand Thought Manifestation Realm, and hundreds of thousands of Spirit Burning Realm creatures. Never before had such strength been gathered in one place before.
Soon, all of the positions on the formation had been activated. The moment it fully formed, Frost nodded with conviction. “It’s done.”
Boom!!!
From the center of the formation, a giant column of light shot into the sky, rus.h.i.+ng towards the fissure.
In that moment, the fissure suddenly widened by hundreds of times.
The Deep Sea Anchor was still present, as were the t.i.tan-Cla.s.s puppets. However, the bridge was no longer a bridge; instead, it had become the foundation for a new bridge.
An even larger spatial bridge had materialized atop that foundation.
“The Heavenly Bridge has been completed!” Lin Shaoxuan cried out once more.
“The Desolate Beasts are entering!”
“ROAR!!!”
Below Sky City, Desolate Beast after Desolate Beast began to howl as they charged towards the bridge.
