Chapter 358: The Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The only thing on Minghe"s mind was that G.o.d"s mercy was like the sea and G.o.d"s might was like a prison. The charm and might of the Great Way were incomparable. Next to it, the Way of Heaven of Untainted Land appeared to be tiny. At that moment, Minghe thoroughly realized the horror of the Great Way. And in front of it, he deeply felt his own weakness.
However, he did not understand why the Great Way suddenly arrived. "Is it perhaps because I"ve broken into the Out-of-Law Area? Or have destroyed several worlds? In that case, the Great Way should have come a long time ago, so why now?" Wherever his Spiritual Thoughts went, all Ominous Beasts of Chaos crawled and shivered. But what about the places beyond his Spiritual Thoughts?
...
In Untainted Land, a strong coercion arrived suddenly. Being subject to it, all the living beings of Untainted Land could not move a single step. Only the Origin could withstand it. A huge eye abruptly appeared up in the ninth heaven of Untainted Land, looking down on the entire Untainted Land. All the creatures were surprised. "Is it... the Great Way?" However, they could not figure out why the Great Way befell so suddenly.
...
In the Zixiao Palace, Hongjun was practicing with great concentration. Suddenly, a strong coercion entered his world. His facial expression greatly changed, and he raised his head to look over. He saw the huge eye appear in his world. Due to its strong coercion, Hongjun realized its origin. He also wondered why the Great Way came so suddenly.
...
At the same time, among the Deva-lokathe, Eye of the Great Way would come to any world, where creatures existed. With the sudden appearance of the Great Way, all creatures in the Deva-loka felt scared. Since the birth of the Chaos, the Great Way had never appeared in front of creatures like this. Now, it had abruptly appeared. Probably something big would happen. However, only a few people knew the specifics.
Shortly afterward, the Great Way disappeared from the scene. However, all of the creatures in the world at the Sage-to-be Realm or higher got a little bit more information, which was sent by the Great Way and recorded the purpose of the advent of the Great Way. The information really astounded everyone, so the people could not digest the information for a while. After they had completely a.s.similated it, their eyes flashed a fiery glow.
...
In the Tao Seeking Hall, Minghe frowned and looked solemn for no other reason other than all the additional information in his mind, which was full of infinite enticement. Minghe felt the tingle of desire even in the current realm. Meanwhile, he also felt the creepy Menace Intent behind it.
He knew that when he received the information, everyone who was in the Sage-to-be Realm or above also received the information. It mentioned the Out-of-Law Area, which was Minghe"s location. Until that moment, he did not know its name—the River between Heaven and Death. It was located very close between Fated Chance and death.
As Minghe expected, the River between Heaven and Death was just a zone of transition. The Chaotic Storm Wall outside was one "sh.o.r.eside" of the River between Heaven and Death. He had once seen the other "sh.o.r.eside". It was also a windwall, which was completely formed by s.p.a.ce storms and s.p.a.ce turbulence.
Minghe visited the depths of the River between Heaven and Death and saw that windwall. It made him feel small and insignificant. Its brutality was full of infinite Menace Intent, without any gaps. Although he predicted that the other side of the four Transmitting Formations collected by him was probably inside, he did not rush in facing such a windwall.
At this moment, the Great Way revealed everything in front of the Deities of the Deva-loka. Minghe finally knew what the s.p.a.ce storm was. It was a special world that was called the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons by the Great Way. Although it was filled with infinite killing intent, this Fated Chance was also tempting.
Minghe wondered about the origin of the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons and its Fated Chance. From the information provided by the Great Way, it contained boundless Fated Chance. However, it did not mention the specifics at all. It should not be weak at all if it could be called a Fated Chance by the Great Way. Furthermore, the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons was mixed with the Origin of the Deva-loka, so he had to imagine that it was formidable.
After the G.o.d Deification Ceremony, Minghe left Untainted Land. When he returned back to this place, he discovered the vital force of the Origin of Untainted Land. He never thought that it also mixed with the Origin of the Deva-loka, except for the partial Origin of Untainted Land. Although Minghe did not know why the Great Way acted so, he predicted that it was related to the secrets of the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons.
To his surprise, one puzzle that Minghe was trying to figure out was solved according to the information transmitted by the Great Way. It was the function of the four Transmitting Formations in the Tao Seeking Hall. However, there was only one remaining formation. During the advent of the Great Way, the four Transmitting Formations integrated by accident. Their size and appearance had not changed a bit, but their patterns became more complex.
As he stretched out his hand, the Transmitting Formation immediately got smaller and flew into his palm. Now, it was totally different. It had been activated and gave off a strong s.p.a.ce vital force. If he was willing to drive it with supernatural power, it could enter the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons at once. However, he restrained himself from doing so.
With the Transmitting Formation, Minghe could enter the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons at any time. Therefore, it was unnecessary for him to be anxious. Since the Great Way had brought the information to the entire Deva-loka, Untainted Land was also unexceptional, which was to say that his four disciples would receive this information. And according to their personalities, they would not miss this Fated Chance and would surely come here.
Minghe expected that they should have actualized. He was uncertain of the danger of the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons. Moreover, if they had not found the Transmitting Formation in the River between Heaven and Death, they only could rush to the s.p.a.ce storm. Otherwise, they could not enter the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons. He knew the danger of the s.p.a.ce storm best. Even he could not ensure his safe pa.s.sage, not to mention them.
In the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons, everything was unknown. Judging from the Ominous Beasts of Chaos that had originally transmitted from the Transmitting Formation, it was not safe inside. Perhaps numerous Ominous Beasts of Chaos were transmitted from the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons for countless years. The beasts in the River between Heaven and Death seemed to be innumerable. Thus, it was easy to imagine the scene of the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons.
At the thought of this, Minghe put away the Tao Seeking Hall and the Flag of Five Elements used for the Primordial Five Elements Formation. He flew outward and fought his way out of the River between Heaven and Death. In the end, he stopped outside the Chaotic Storm Wall and waited for Liu Er and the others. The Great Way had already revealed the location of the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons. His current location was a vital place on the way from Untainted Land to the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons.
When he was waiting for Liu Er and the others, Minghe also saw some experts of the Origin from other worlds. It looked as if they had come to the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons to seek the Fated Chance. He did not take notice of them and neither did they. Although they did not know why Minghe did not go inside, that had nothing to do with them. Their top priority was to find the Transmitting Formation. Otherwise, they only could break through the Area of the s.p.a.ce Storm.
There were only about 360 Transmitting Formations in total. Minghe alone had obtained four. Obviously, it was a b.l.o.o.d.y war because the remaining 356 Transmitting Formations were scrambled by so many worlds in Untainted Land. Moreover, there were numerous Ominous Beasts of Chaos in the River between Heaven and Death. In order to contest for the Transmitting Formation, they had to deal with these beasts first, which was not easy.
To his surprise, Minghe saw another familiar face, Laozi, the Grand Pure One, before Liu Er and the others had arrived. At that time, Laozi had reached the Late Stage of the Origin. Moreover, he could break through to the Peak of the Origin at any time. Naturally, Laozi also discovered Minghe. They had no relations with each other, so they just quickly glanced at each other. Then, Laozi plunged into the Chaotic Storm Wall.
For several months, Minghe sat cross-legged in the Chaos and continued to absorb the Air of Chaos for cultivation. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and some figures appeared before his eyes. Among them were his four disciples, Liu Er, Kong Xuan, Black Tortoise, and Dipamkara. He was somewhat shocked by the number of people. There were more than 10 people and they all had reached the Realm of the Origin.
He was not surprised to see Zhenyuanzi and Cangjie because when he left, those two had already been at the Half Step to the Origin. But he was surprised that there were 13 people in total remaining, including Xuan Ming, f.u.xi, Haotian, the Three Ancestors of the Human Tribe, and Kunpeng. Seemingly, Untainted Land had changed greatly since he left.
Liu Er and the others flew over to Minghe. When his four disciples saw him, they instantly beamed and worshiped him. "Master!" When Zhenyuanzi and the others saw Minghe right there waiting for them, they felt very surprised and extended their greetings to him. Although he had not released any vital force, they could feel some intangible coercion, as if he could kill them in an instant.
Minghe looked his four disciples up and down for a while, and then he said, "Pretty good! You really practiced hard after I left. Three of you have reached the Early Stage of the Origin while one has reached the Middle Stage of the Origin. Thus, you"re qualified to enter the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons. However..." With this, he paused and looked at everyone. Then, he continued by saying, "you"re just barely qualified."
