Chapter 762: Chapter 757: Starlight Part 1

Golden Crown’s representative, Huang Kai, stood up with a look of helplessness.

"The fifth rank magic weapons were all allocated already, now we’re barely holding on to prevent the Void Demon Spirits from breaking through. The management of Human Immortals and Realm Masters from various places is not our responsibility.

Everyone is now only looking out for themselves, our combat power is severely insufficient, with third rank and below suffering extreme losses. Although all magic weapon facilities are at full capacity producing magic weapons, it is still..."

All present were sixth rank powerhouses, and those who could sit here were qualified to be unilateral hegemons even among the sixth rank.

They had been summoned here to consolidate our defenses.

"The Void Spirit defense line is already under strain, the third-rank reserve forces now number less than fifty million.

This matter will still require everyone’s full support!"

Chen Zhao said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent, none taking the lead to speak.

This sudden strike by the Heavenly Venerable had extinguished many Earth Immortals, leaving the survivors also heavily damaged.

Thinking of asking them to send troops to support, just the thought alone hinted at the difficulty.

"All present are the best among the seventy-eight realm masters of the Southern Region. If the Void Spirit defense line breaks, no one will have a chance of survival. This matter concerns the lives and fortunes of everyone here. If you do not send troops to support now, you might regret it too late later."

Chen Zhao did not offer any convoluted reasons to persuade them.

He simply stated this fact plainly.

Land for God Worship wasn’t something they could just abandon, once the Void Spirit defense line was breached, massive defeat would ensue, and no one present could escape a massacre by the Void Demon Spirit army.

"Not necessarily, the disciple of Dragon Serpent Heavenly Venerable, Taoist Lieshan, in the Land for God Worship outside the defense line, isn’t he doing just fine?"

An elderly Earth Immortal said lightly, his eyes half-closed.

"That one has a Heavenly Venerable incarnation for support, do you?!" Chen Zhao retorted without mincing words.

Immediately, nobody spoke.

Everyone was silent.

The coming of the great calamity exposed the selfishness and self-preservation thoughts of the monks instantly.

Concerning their own survival, no one was willing to reduce their own strength to support the Void Spirit defense line.

Thud, thud.

Suddenly, the conference room door was knocked.

"Who?!"

Chen Zhao frowned.

With a click, the door slowly opened, a formation’s light purple halo faded, and a young man in a black robe slowly walked in.

"Feng Panjun..."

Most of those sitting were taken aback for a moment, then couldn’t help but slowly stand up.

As one of the renowned geniuses of the head sect, the reputation of Feng Panjun was familiar to any realm master who knew a bit of news.

"This is the Feng Family’s main camp, I will personally guard this segment of the defense line,"

Feng Panjun said, his expression cold. A Longsword, constantly emitting dark energies, hung at his waist. His lower body seemed hidden in another world, vaguely translucent and barely visible.

"Since Senior Brother Feng has personally arrived, all will be well!"

Chen Zhao was overjoyed and heaved a huge sigh of relief.

As one of the top geniuses always focused on by the head sect, Feng Panjun’s combat strength was built through countless blood battles, undeniably!

During this great calamity, elite fighters like him were finally mobilized.

In times of great chaos, it’s precisely the brightest stage for top-tier geniuses like them.

*********************

At the same time, several reincarnated Immortal talents of the head sect joined the battle.

Leading with Wei Ning and Feng Panjun, many other disciples went into combat.

For a moment, heroes gathered, the fight fierce, with some disciples perishing mistakenly, but many more rapidly growing stronger.

And the top-ranked Jiu Se Divine Lord, Yin Chuan, also smoothly emerged from his retreat. No one knew to what extent his cultivation had reached.

With just one move, he solidly stabilized the teetering northern battle line, beheading three Candle Earth Immortals of Shadow City, causing the entire northern front of Shadow City to retreat significantly, leaving only the support of Void Demon Spirits. Yet, they couldn’t stop the advancement of high-rank warriors anymore.

Apart from these three geniuses, other top-tier elite talents emerged from the Demon Race, Soul Sect, Four Seas Immortal Mountains, Illusory Sea Extreme, Buddha Domain, and more, representing the rise of a new generation within each major force.

A multitude of Void Demon Spirits continually launched attacks, which, on one hand, also nurtured the growth of many geniuses.

Their Land for God Worship’s magic soldiers continually absorbed the nutrients of flesh and blood, growing and evolving rapidly in the midst of battle. Their cultivation was also increasing swiftly.

With the older generation of Heavenly Venerables taking on the highest-level enemies at the forefront, all they needed to do was use this opportunity to hone themselves and grow rapidly.

Feng Panjun, Wei Ning, Jiu Se Divine Lord, Four Seas Immortal Mountains’ Monk Donglai, Heavenly Demon Eyes of the Demon Race, and so on.

Outside, the winds surged and new talents emerged.

In the Ghost Realm, however, Lin Xin had already re-entered the second world, searching for the world’s origin.

*****************

The Second Minor World.

Hiss....

Lin Xin slowly stepped out from the gate of illusion.

Many disciples were waiting in front, having already received the message through transmission.

All the hundred or so fifth-rank Immortals of Lake Mountain Sect were now in front of him.

Lu Li and Wang Kongyan Zhao Wumian stood at the forefront.

"Honored Master, we can start at any time."

Lu Li was clad in heavy armor, with the faint silhouette of a phoenix circling around him for protection.

Lin Xin nodded.

"Has the third seal point been located?"

"It’s confirmed, within a small barbarian nation across the ocean," Lu Li replied succinctly.

"Let’s depart immediately, utilize all core melt hearts and all the Spirit Jade Spiritual Marrow, we must stabilize this place as soon as possible and find the origin.

You’ve also seen the scenes of the great calamity via transmission, as a teacher, I too wished to slowly explore the world, alas, time waits for no one."

Lin Xin sighed.

"We disciples must alleviate our master’s worries!"

Lu Li and the other disciples bowed and said in unison.

Lin Xin nodded and glanced at the sky.

"Lu Li lead the way, let’s set off!"

Buzz...

In an instant, numerous pieces of Spirit Jade were crushed, Spiritual Energy swept out, and a huge battleship powered by the core melt hearts was released, slowly hovering into the sky.

The cultivators flew onto it one after another.

The battleship, hundreds of meters long, slowly closed its entrance, resembling a huge green oval disc.

A pair of transparent wings extended from both sides of the disc, gently unfurled, and swiftly soared into the distant sky.

In the blink of an eye, it vanished into the clouds.

The nearby populace, even if they saw it, would mostly think it was a trick of the eye and would not cause much of an uproar.

Even if they truly saw it and talked about it, no one would believe them.

*********************

Void Spirit Tower One.

In the dark void, dozens of beams of Primordial Spirit Holy Light, like planetary orbits, circled around the largest Void Spirit Tower and flickered.

Red, white, gold, silver, all the Primordial Spirit Holy Lights flowed slowly like liquid.

The Void Spirit Tower stood alone in the void, surrounded by countless Void Demon Spirits like black flowing water, cascading towards the Primordial Spirit Holy Light.

But before they could get close, they were naturally obliterated by the radiating fluctuations of the Holy Light, leaving not even ashes behind.

From afar, it looked like endless black water continuously rushing toward the colorful bands of light, being devoured and disappearing instantly.

Inside the tower.

Long Snake was flipping through a small booklet in his hands, frowning slightly.

Click, the door opened, Jiu Se Immortal Elder and another serene female immortal entered.

"Why have you secluded yourself here during the rest period?" Jiu Se sighed and plopped down into the chair across from Long Snake.

"Sit down, Long Snake is my close friend, no need to be formal," he instructed the female immortal, unceremoniously picking up and drinking from the teapot on Long Snake’s desk.

"What’s wrong?" Long Snake smiled, sat down, and gestured for the female to sit as well.

"Ah... it’s a long story." Recently, Jiu Se was completely frustrated from searching for an Earth Immortal with more than ten points of Immortal Light.

After asking countless people and receiving the same answer, even though he was patient, the pressing calamity and tight timeframe made it impossible to find a solution quickly.

He came over, somewhat disheartened, to drink and relieve his melancholy with Long Snake.

Although he was an old Heavenly Venerable and had held a celestial position for over ten thousand years, his personality remained direct: he became close to those he liked and ignored those he didn’t, no matter how high their cultivation level.

That’s exactly how it was with Long Snake; as soon as they met, they instantly felt a strong kinship.

"If it’s hard to explain in a few words, then take your time and explain it thoroughly," Long Snake set down the book and said with a smile.

Jiu Se looked at him, then shook his head.

"It’s all because of the revelation left by the Taoist Ancestor."

The adjacent female immortal couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle softly.

"This is my junior, the thirty-fifth generation of our clan, currently being trained by my side. By the way, why haven’t you brought your disciple close to you?"

"Land for God Worship," Long Snake stated simply, his mind however, recalled the many disciples he had taught who now one by one sought to reconcile with him.

Aside from Song Ran and a few other disciples who hadn’t gone too far, he had Oro send the rest away.

After his celestial position was elevated, he could feel his power growing every moment.

His lifespan had also significantly increased.

After so many years of nurturing, his desire to take on new disciples had somewhat faded.

"That’s true... there are benefits to lower cultivation as well," Jiu Se expressed.

"Right, you haven’t said yet, what revelation did our lineage’s Taoist Ancestor give you?" Long Snake asked, coming back to his senses.

Jiu Se raised his cup, took a sip with a troubled look on his face.

"Forget it, let’s not talk about that, let’s drink!" He had sought so many people and channels that he was now somewhat desolate, and couldn’t be bothered to discuss it anymore.

"We don’t have wine here, only tea."

Long Snake smilingly picked up his tea cup, the two clinked cups and drained them in one gulp.

The adjacent female immortal respectfully refilled their cups.

After drinking tea for a while, they chatted casually about recent affairs.

Suddenly, Jiu Se thought of something, softly took out an item from his sleeve, and placed it on the table.

"This is a new Magic Artifact I’ve acquired, take a look."

As he took out the Magic Artifact, his mood noticeably improved, his expression vaguely triumphant.

Long Snake looked curiously at him, then carefully examined the Magic Artifact placed on the table.

On the black table surface, there lay a statue of a ten-armed wrathful Vajra.

This sculpture was no taller than a palm but was carved exceedingly intricately, almost as if it could come to life at any moment.

Moreover, it was entirely gray with tiny diamonds-like objects embedded on its back.
