Chapter 851: Chapter 846 Emergency 4
Feng Panjun fell silent.
"I will go personally."
Although he had not yet broken through to the rank of Heavenly Venerable, in various techniques, he was already nearly equivalent to one.
The Great Saint was indeed the favored child of the great calamity. Over the past few years, Feng Panjun had achieved successive breakthroughs, and his cultivation had advanced to a terrifying degree.
Now he was but a narrow margin away from breaking through to Heavenly Venerable, rising to the stars.
It’s unfortunate that with the outbreak of the great calamity, chances of rising to the stars seemed increasingly unlikely.
"The Far Light Scale Armor I refined, combined with five Three Soul Stones, should be enough for a round trip," the Great Roc Heavenly Venerable said solemnly. He had been the most powerful Artifact Refining Grandmaster in Green Lake Mountain prior to this, his expertise naturally exceptional, and his refined treasures numerous.
To withstand the great calamity, the key was to optimally release energy to form a Spiritual Light Shield, allowing the white mist to deplete it without harming the body within, until the reserves were exhausted.
"If anything unexpected happens, return immediately. We’re not sure if the Great Saint Wei Ning is still alive."
The Great Roc Heavenly Venerable said seriously.
"I understand,"
Feng Panjun stood up.
"There is no time to lose, I will start preparing right away."
The Wind Saint nodded.
"It is a hard task, dear nephew. In times of great family crisis, we can only stand united and work together."
"It is my duty,"
Feng Panjun replied nonchalantly.
Then the Wind Saint began calculating the specific damage to the port and how long they could sustain it, continually dispatching new personnel to supplement the True Yuan of the formation, as relying solely on resources was becoming insufficient.
Just after issuing a few decrees, a piercing alarm sounded abruptly over the port.
Honk!!! Honk!!!
"Someone has breached the formation!"
The Wind Saint’s expression changed.
The Great Roc Heavenly Venerable and Void Heavenly Venerable Jiuyin disappeared instantly, and when they reappeared, they were inside the formation’s defensive shield over the port, looking out.
Feng Panjun arrived slightly late, but not by much, followed by the Earth Immortal and the other elders.
Everyone looked up to see a blue meteor bursting through the white mist of the calamity gas, heading directly towards the Feng Family port.
Within the blue meteor, a faint figure of an old man in blue robes could be seen, laughing maniacally as he sat on a throne.
"Feng Family, heed my command! Hand over Feng Panjun, or face annihilation!"
A sharp, piercing sound wave instantly penetrated the formation, reaching inside the port.
The sound wave created a tangible ripple in the air, spreading in all directions.
Boom!
A palace caught by the sound wave collapsed, as if struck by a massive hammer.
Several patrolling cultivators and Dao soldiers did not have time to evade and were caught in the ripple, instantly exploding, their blood vaporizing without a trace.
"Who are you...!?"
The Wind Saint’s expression darkened, about to ask more.
Swish!
A blue blade light descended from the sky in an instant, striking the Protective Shield with a thunderous crash, depleting more than half of its energy.
"You are the Hall Master of the Myriad Stars!?"
The Void Heavenly Venerable Jiuyin recognized the blade light at once, his face pale with shock.
The name "Hall Master of the Myriad Stars" caused everyone’s expressions to change instantly.
As one of the more active seekers of the Dao, the Hall Master of the Myriad Stars had gained some notoriety over the past hundreds of thousands of years.
By coincidence, the Feng Family, with its long history, had many surviving old monsters, most of whom had heard of this fearsomely powerful Hall Master of the Myriad Stars.
Feng Panjun’s expression shifted slightly. He turned and darted into the sky, trying to escape the protective shield.
Whoosh!
A blue blade light enveloped him, forming a web-like cage that pulled him into the sky.
Feng Panjun trembled, countless green sword lights, mixed with the void shadows of Realm Artifacts, slowly emerged around him, and a green Spiritual Pattern Formation lit up at his feet.
"Kai!!!"
He knew that life and death hinged on this moment, so he summoned all his strength and True Yuan, compressing it in one place, and slashed out fiercely.
Swish!
Between life and death, Feng Panjun’s mind cleared, as if he had comprehended something mysterious.
The drawn sword blade carried inexplicably strange markings, curving gently and tracing a profound arc. It seemed to faintly resonate with some law of the void.
A terrifying green sword light far surpassing the Heavenly Venerable level bloomed like flowers, tens of thousands of swords flashing in an instant, striking the surrounding blade web.
"Die!"
The Hall Master of the Myriad Stars shouted sternly.
His voice carried a peculiar rhythm.
The blade web shrank violently inwards.
All the sword lights Feng Panjun had released shattered completely.
The gap was too vast, even if Feng Panjun temporarily broke through, he was still far from matching the Hall Master of the Myriad Stars.
In the blink of an eye, Feng Panjun’s once perfect form was riddled with thousands of bloody holes.
His face froze, disbelief in his wide eyes as he gazed at the myriad bloody holes on his body.
Bang!
Feng Panjun exploded completely, the terrifying power of his self-destruction being blocked by the blade web. Yet, a green spirit soul shot into the sky, bypassing the blade web and bursting through the formation into the sea of white calamity gas outside.
Strangely, his spirit soul was completely unaffected by the calamity gas, flying unimpeded into the mist.
"Trying to run!?"
The Hall Master of the Myriad Stars laughed loudly, slapped his throne, and chased after Feng Panjun’s escaping spirit, quickly disappearing.
None of the Feng Family members, including the Great Roc Heavenly Venerable and the Void Heavenly Venerable Jiuyin, made a move to help.
All the elders remained as quiet as cicadas in winter.
Feng Panjun was being pursued and slaughtered, and not a single person stepped in; they could only watch as he was destroyed.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to help, but they feared that angering the Hall Master of the Myriad Stars would doom them all.
The Great Roc Heavenly Venerable’s face darkened, gripping and releasing the silver feather magic artifact in his hand repeatedly.
Several times he wanted to act, but rationality held him back.
"Panjun....!!"
His heart was as if being cut by a knife.
Feng Panjun was his biological grandson, and to see him destroyed, even his spirit fleeing into the calamity gas, was severing his bloodline!
But he had no choice but to endure...
It wasn’t just him; it was the same for the others.
The Wind Saint didn’t even dare exchange glances with other elders, lowering his head, his body trembling.
********************
Lin Xin flew rapidly through the white mist.
He tried to use the black hole in his chest to absorb some of the calamity gas, but it didn’t work well.
The calamity gas could not be absorbed or digested, and instead, consumed his devouring power aggressively.
Helpless, he spat it out.
He flew rapidly along the predetermined direction, unable to sense the exact location of his Holy Land, the Netherworld. He could only faintly detect a sliver of connection.
Fortunately, his Honored Master Long-she had a Heart Crystal Twin that allowed short-term observation of his clone’s condition in the calamity gas, though it was hugely consuming.
After briefly confirming the situation, he saw that both Long-she and the Immortal Elder Jiuqu were not faring well.
Lin Xin decisively set out to rescue them in their location.
Holding the Heart Crystal Twin, its tremendous power was evident, reportedly containing the origins of the world during its refinement, providing endless terrifying energy.
Yet the previously pristine Heart Crystal Twin, after confirming the clone’s situation twice, had consumed nearly half its energy.
It showed how much the calamity gas depleted signals.
Ahead lay an endless dense mist, obscuring sight, sound, and smell.
Only its damp touch could be felt on the skin.
"I’ll confirm the direction once more."
He flew swiftly forward for an unknown distance before stopping quickly.
"At my current speed, even the most advanced battleships are far inferior. Even among Heavenly Venerables, few can match this. Overrunning a bit would be troublesome."
Lin Xin extended his hand, a white spiny sea urchin-like crystal ball floating gently in his palm.
Gently tapping it, he sent countless Divine Thought Seals into it in an instant from his fingertip.
The spiny crystal ball lit up slightly, turning slowly.
From the middle of the spikes, a golden thread flew out, growing longer and weaving a golden bird in front of Lin Xin.
Swish!
The bird disappeared in an instant.
Lin Xin knew this wasn’t vanishing, but moving too fast, creating an illusion of teleportation.
"Go!" He slashed his hands back.
The tremendous power of moving the surrounding calamity gas propelled him, making him instantaneously disappear as well.
He followed the golden bird ahead.
**********************
Long-she barely stabilized the flying battleship, narrowly skimming past the edge of the white mist.
This was their fifth course correction.
The dense white mist grew thicker and more prevalent, and their escape routes dwindled.
"Where are we now?"
Jiuqu’s voice was dry.
"Unclear," Long-she looked at the chaotic scene outside, the dead silent void, and sighed deeply.
"We should be near the Star Domain."
The Star Domain, the final core of the void, and also a vast area the calamity gas was bound to reach. When this was overrun, it marked the complete collapse of the void and the subsequent post-calamity great doom.
"If the calamity gas enters the Star Domain, what will happen to our star bodies?"
Jiuqu paused, raising a crucial question.
"Who knows,"
Long-she chuckled.
"Life and death are left to fate. Perhaps I now understand why the Taoist Ancestor said that only Earth Immortals with more than ten points of Immortal Light truly hold a chance of survival in the great calamity."
"You mean...?" Jiuqu suddenly understood.
"Only the Holy Land and the Land for God Worship of the Earth Immortals are at their most secure and stable during these times.
Upon ascending to Heavenly Venerable and raising the stars, the star bodies’ transformation and connection with the Myriad Realms strengthen their defenses, but also increase the areas to be guarded. The challenge becomes even greater." Long-she explained.
"That’s not quite accurate. Although the Earth Immortals’ Holy Land is small, they are less prepared than us and may likely perish in the initial wave of the great calamity’s most powerful assault,"
Before Jiuqu could finish, laughter was heard outside the ship.
"Run! I dare you to run! Hahaha! If you escape my grasp, it would show your true ability!"
