Extreme Almightiest Young Master
Chapter 2273 - 2252: The War Begins—Not a Bad Welcome Gift, Right?
In an instant, the entire Eternal Joy Immortal Realm was set in motion. All the sects knew that a war with Earth was about to begin. Some sects were aligning themselves with the Holy Soul Sect, trying to cling to their big thigh in hopes of gaining some benefits in the upcoming great war. Meanwhile, other smaller sects had no intention of joining, as entering the Holy Soul Sect’s camp would undoubtedly render them cannon fodder. Anyone with sense wouldn’t rashly make that decision.
It wasn’t just the Divine Sword Sect; the Nine Nether Sect was also fully preparing for war. The situation on the Nine Nether Continent was far more complex than on the Holy Soul Continent. Still, even so, the Nine Nether Sect had enlisted many other sects, planning to charge through the space passage to search for the Source of All Immortals on Earth when it opened.
If there was anything strange about the entire Eternal Joy Immortal Realm, it was that the Myriad Saints Continent hadn’t made any preparations for this event and didn’t even show intent to participate in the battle, leaving everyone in the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm puzzled.
...
Half a month later...
On the broad plains behind the Holy Soul Sect’s headquarters, Xiao Ke stood at the formation eye of the Myriad Laws Void Formation, holding a Black Spirit Stone in his hand, a delighted smile on his face. During this period, he and other Formation Masters had finally constructed the Myriad Laws Void Formation. Once he placed the Black Spirit Stone in his hand into the formation eye, the space passage would inevitably open.
Glancing at the Holy Soul Sect members who had gathered around, he also wore an ecstatic smile. Once the space passage opened, the qi connection would allow Earth Immortal Realm Powerhouses, including him, to enter Earth and search for the Source of All Immortals together. Finding the Source of All Immortals would allow him to achieve the Heavenly Immortal Realm, a thought that stirred his emotions uncontrollably.
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Xiao Ke embedded the Black Spirit Stone into the formation eye. The Myriad Laws Void Formation, constructed with over five hundred Black Spirit Stones, began to operate at once.
Runes swayed in the air, brilliantly shimmering, causing space around them to warp. The Black Spirit Stones on the formation continuously released space power, making the surrounding space unstable, even trembling. In just an instant, silver-white light burst from the formation of Black Spirit Stones, followed by the appearance of a silver-white light screen, which transformed before their eyes into a bottomless cave resembling a black hole!
But this was just the beginning. In the gaze of everyone, that cave-like black hole gradually expanded. In just a moment, it reached about a hundred zhang, and with the increasing space power from the Myriad Laws Void Formation, the cave continued to grow.
Suddenly, a light appeared within the black hole cave. Then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the light grew brighter. In just a few breaths, they could see the scenery of Earth through the space cave. For a moment, everyone’s eyes became wet. After years of effort, they had finally opened the space passage!
Especially for the few Earth Immortal Realm Peak Powerhouses standing alongside Xiao Ke, their hearts pounded with excitement. Entering Earth to search for the Source of All Immortals was their dream, and it was on the verge of coming true. Such overwhelming excitement was hard to contain; they couldn’t wait to rush over to Earth!
"First squad, move out!" Xiao Tianrong, wearing a smile, immediately ordered after the space passage stabilized.
In an instant, a force of a hundred Human Immortal Realm individuals stepped forward and nearly simultaneously flew into the space passage. Their task was to seize the other side of the space passage to maintain its stability, ensuring the safety of others as they passed through.
All hundred Human Immortal Realm Powerhouses were immensely excited at this moment. In their view, the cultivators on Earth were weak to the point of impotence. With them going over, they could essentially conquer Earth’s Cultivation World. Once they achieved merit, the sect would inevitably reward them!
It wasn’t just them who thought this way; nearly everyone by the Myriad Laws Void Formation thought similarly. A surprise attack by a hundred Human Immortal Realm individuals was something Earth couldn’t possibly withstand.
But just as they were thinking this, something unexpected happened...
"Boom!"
Suddenly, from the flat plain, dozens of massive objects resembling giant iron pots erupted from the ground. In an instant, everyone was dumbfounded, unable to comprehend what was happening, or what using these large pots against them would achieve.
But just when they were pondering this, those large pots on Earth’s side emitted sharp, squeaking sounds. Almost immediately, the hundred individuals rushing through the space passage hadn’t even covered a hundred zhang before they felt as if their bodies were being roasted, and just as they sensed this, their bodies exploded into masses of blood mist, leaving not even their bones...
How could this be!
How did these...these people die!
...
Having witnessed these events, including Xiao Ke, all were stunned. They never imagined encountering such a scenario. In just an instant, a hundred Human Immortal Realm disciples silently exploded and perished. What was going on?
Even Xiao Ke, among the Earth Immortal Realm Powerhouses, couldn’t figure out where the problem lied. To them, the entire situation seemed incredibly bizarre. Staring at the space passage, they were all in a daze.
"No..."
Xiao Tianrong never anticipated such an outcome. A hundred Human Immortal Realm powerhouses just vanished, causing an almost unbearable sense of loss that made his head feel like exploding. As the Sect Master of the Holy Soul Sect, witnessing such a scene shattered him, truly a catastrophic disaster for his sect’s grand formation! At this moment, he genuinely didn’t dare to send anyone else over. If he dispatched more sect disciples and this happened again, what then? 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Xiao Ke, upon regaining his composure, gazed through the space passage with an exceptionally cold expression, unable to figure out what had occurred. Fortunately, he had sent the hundred to scout first; otherwise, if he faced such a situation, he might not have survived or would have been injured if not dead.
After earnestly studying the massive pots outside the space passage, instinct told him these colossal pots were likely the culprits for swallowing the hundred Human Immortal Realm Powerhouses. If his assumptions were correct, this was undoubtedly Earth’s technological product. He hadn’t expected Earth’s side had prepared such a trap, and he wondered how they knew the positioning of the space passage’s opening?
But now, he didn’t want to dwell on these matters. Staring at the many large pots on Earth’s side, he drew a longsword glowing faintly blue. Instantly, a Sword Gang shot out, heading through the space passage at the giant pots on the other side.
But to Xiao Ke and everyone’s surprise, just as the Sword Gang entered the space passage, a figure suddenly appeared on the other side, casually waving and shattering the Sword Gang sent by Xiao Tianrong...
Lin Feng stood in mid-air, looking at the members of the Holy Soul Sect opposite, calmly saying, "How about it? The grand gift we’ve prepared on Earth’s side is pretty good, isn’t it?"
"Lin Feng, how dare you ambush us?" Hearing Lin Feng’s teasing words, Xiao Ke’s face turned beet red with rage, growling through gritted teeth. He wished he could rush over and tear Lin Feng apart, but now the space passage was full of killing intent, and he didn’t want to risk his life due to negligence!
At this moment, he finally understood Lin Feng had everything arranged long ago, waiting for them to open the space passage and fall into their trap. However, he couldn’t figure out how Lin Feng knew their space passage’s method of opening or its timing. This puzzled him to no end!
Upon hearing Xiao Ke’s words, Lin Feng immediately laughed, gazing at him and saying, "Ancestor Xiao Ke, you’re invading Earth. Why would it be wrong for me to ambush you? You plan to invade Earth with murder and arson, but forbid Earth’s side from resisting? Where in the world could you find such a favorable circumstance?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ke was rendered speechless. Lin Feng wasn’t wrong. Since the opening of the space passage, Eternal Joy Immortal Realm had appeared as invaders, so Earth’s counterattack was normal. If he were Lin Feng, he’d certainly act the same way.
But for the sake of the entire Eternal Joy Immortal Realm, for the Holy Soul Sect, and for himself, he wouldn’t admit these things. Staring at Lin Feng, Ancestor Xiao Ke coldly said, "Lin Feng, do you think this can truly stop us?"
"Whether it can or can’t be only known after trying. At least the effect now is good; taking down a hundred Human Immortal Realm individuals is pretty satisfactory. I’m delighted, hahaha..." Lin Feng responded with laughter, seeing Xiao Ke’s words. He hadn’t anticipated Sound Demon One to be so effective, eliminating so many Human Immortal Realm individuals in such a short time, greatly easing Earth’s defensive pressure.
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s response, Xiao Ke almost had his beard fly off in anger. He no longer wished to waste words with Lin Feng. Staring at Lin Feng coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent, he then erupted in Gang Qi, his figure like a flash of lightning, shooting through the space passage!
In an instant, Ancestor Xiao Ke transformed into what seemed to be a sword, a terrifying Longsword of Heavens, threatening to tear through space as he charged at terrifying speed through the open space passage. With his Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm power, crossing the hundred zhang of the space passage was an easy task. Even if those large pots outside could kill Human Immortal Realm individuals in an instant, he didn’t believe they could do anything to him!
