“Boom!”
Unknown energy pierced through the spatial barrier and blasted into the Xuanhuo Sect’s mountain gate.
A powerful energy shockwave immediately spread out in all directions.
Regardless of who it was, they were all bombarded. There were only two Consolidation Realm experts left on the scene. Lin Ziyi and the City Lord of Cloud City were barely able to fight, while the others were blown away.
The shock wave was extremely powerful and horrifying!
“What kind of energy was that?” Lin Ziyi instantly sensed that something was wrong. The energy caused by the shock wave could not be compared to regular spiritual power.
It was higher-level energy. With their cultivation base, they could easily sense the difference.
The shock wave dispersed, and a figure appeared on a mountain peak in the depths of the Xuanhuo Sect.
It was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. He had a handsome face that carried a hint of arrogance. His figure was tall and straight, like a long spear piercing through the heavens and earth.
Everyone could feel intense pressure from his body. That intimidating pressure was forcing everyone down to the point of being breathless. It even surpa.s.sed the pressure that Lu Xuan had on them.
“Who was that?”
Many people were shocked. How could there be such an existence in the world today?
This was something that they could not imagine.
Today, they felt that their worldview had been greatly challenged. It had completely exceeded their usual understanding.
The difference was too great.
First, a huge team of Xuanhuo Sect grandmasters popped out of nowhere. Just this alone could overturn the entire world.
Second, Lu Xuan displayed the strength to annihilate the entire team of grandmasters by himself which was already shocking.
Third, an existence whose aura was even more powerful and dreadful than Lu Xuan appeared. What was going on in this world?
Was it the world they were familiar with? Why did so many hidden experts appear one after another? It was as if the world they usually knew was only a superficial surface.
It felt like this world had two separate worlds, the surface world, and the inner world. The high-ranking officials of the Tempest Ocean Realm didn’t know the existence of such a world.
This kind of understanding completely overturned everyone’s worldview.
Before everyone could react, they saw that the body of the person who suddenly descended began to burn fiercely, turning into countless flames. Soon after, heavenly lightning appeared out of thin air and struck this person. Although it was resolved with a wave of this person’s hand, soon after, numerous calamities appeared at the same time.
At this moment, a thought flashed through everyone’s minds. This person was not tolerated by Heaven and earth. Hence, the moment he appeared, all sorts of calamities naturally descended from Heaven and earth, wanting to destroy him.
This person was incompatible with the entire world.
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat because being targeted by the entire world was a terrifying thing.
Every calamity that landed on that person could be said to be shockingly powerful.
As time pa.s.sed, this calamity would become stronger until the person was eliminated.
On the other hand, not just anyone could be targeted by the world.
At the very least, n.o.body dared to think about it!
“A descender, it was a descender!”
The City Lord of Cloud City suddenly thought of something and his pupils constricted slightly. He was reminded of some fearful rumors.
Compared to Lin Ziyi, who had practically started from scratch, Cloud City had an inheritance. Although it wasn’t much compared to the Xuanhuo Sect, but compared to Lin Ziyi, he knew a little more.
“Descender? What is a descender?”
Lin Ziyi questioned.
“We termed those who broke the world barrier and left for the upper-cla.s.s world the ascenders. Those who came back from the greater world were called descenders!” The City Lord of Cloud City said with a solemn expression.
With that said, Lin Ziyi understood right away what a descender was. It was an existence from a higher level world.
“Every world had its own will and its mechanism. It doesn’t simply allow any experts to descend. Just like the recently revived Earth, it also didn’t allow any Consolidation Realm experts to descend. Once they enter, they would face the attacks of Earth’s Heavenly Dao!” The City Lord of Cloud City explained.
Lin Ziyi nodded. At this moment, he understood why all sorts of calamities fell on him the moment that person descended.
It was because he had already exceeded the limits of this world’s capacity. If he was not eliminated, the entire world might have a terrible upheaval due to this.
If they descended on earth at this time, the outcome would not be much better than this. All kinds of calamities, natural disasters, and man-made disasters would befall.
The will of the Earth would try to destroy them.
Although that person had yet to make a move, they could feel how formidable that person was.
This was an extremely terrifying existence!
“Although there weren’t many ascenders over the generations, there had always been some. However, the descenders were different. The number of descenders was only a handful, much fewer than the ascenders. Therefore, it would not be surprising that Lady Lin had never heard of them!”
The City Lord of Cloud City explained.
“Generally speaking, there shouldn’t be any descenders. Because descending from the upper realm to this world required a huge price. Just like how we forcefully descended to Earth, we need to suffer the consequences. Moreover, it wasn’t temporary. Instead, we had to go through every moment of it. Therefore, under normal circ.u.mstances, we wouldn’t easily descend!”
At this point, the City Lord’s expression turned grim and said, “I only know that the heritage of the Xuanhuo Sect was very impressive. Over the generations, there had always been Consolidation Realm experts and they even had a few peak Consolidation Realm experts. But now, it seemed that the foundation of the Xuanhuo Sect was even stronger than what we previously estimated. They had connections with the upper realm!”
Lin Ziyi nodded and replied, “I think that not only did they have connections with the upper realm, but it was also very likely that some of the ancestors of the Xuanhuo Sect had broken through the barrier of the world and ascended to the upper realm. Otherwise, how could they have contacted the upper realm?”
Lin Ziyi brought up another possibility. The Xuanhuo Sect had dominated the world for so many years. Could it be that no one had ascended?
Originally, that could be the case, but now it seemed like some of the ancestors of the Xuanhuo Sect had truly ascended to the upper realm, and they probably made quite a name for themselves. Otherwise, how could the upper realm be willing to send people down at any cost?
