Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 1337 - 16: Target—South Heavenly Gate (Part 2)
Earth is clearly not a "Small Thousand World"—it’s not merely under the Great Thousand World. However, there is some connection between the two, which allows the "Drought Spirit Disaster" to transfer to Earth’s plane.
This is quite magical.
"Maybe," Xiao Jie said, with a hint of expectation that even he couldn’t quite explain.
The two stood shoulder to shoulder, watching the magnificent and eerie spectacle in the sky, and the "deathly beauty" of the apocalyptic wasteland outside Embers City in the distance—a landscape of shattered mountains, cracked earth, slowly moving black storms, and twisted plants glowing faintly in the night.
Until, in the distance, that crimson sun rose slowly on the horizon, casting its dim and oppressive light through the Spiritual Energy Shield of Embers City, falling on the two of them, drawing long shadows.
"Let’s get ready to set off!" Xiao Jie patted Heavenly Venerate on the shoulder.
He turned and walked towards the interior of the fortress.
Half an hour later, the two bid farewell to the Full-time Expert and flew towards the enormous square in the center of Embers City.
The president didn’t have any special expression about their actions, just nodded lightly and said, "Be careful, remember to bring back the map."
Standing on the deck of Heavenly Venerate’s "Calamity Crossing Flying Boat," Xiao Jie opened his backpack one last time to tally up the supplies for this trip.
After much hesitation, Xiao Jie finally decided—to go all out fully equipped.
As "Heavenly Destiny," the more perilous the situation, the more he could turn calamities into blessings. Since that was the case, there was no need to be conservative. If he was going to gamble, he’d gamble big!
Not only did he bring all his Magic Treasure Equipment, but he also spent over ten thousand spirit stones he had saved up in the past few days to buy an Immortal Artifact level Magic Treasure at an internal price from the Iron Blood Immortal Alliance’s equipment library.
He also received a large number of talismans and elixirs from the logistics department of the Iron Blood Immortal Alliance—after all, with his "Immune to Celestial Punishment" privilege, he didn’t care about "not over-receiving." Laozi couldn’t care less!
After all, this trip was also for "saving the world," Laozi had a clear conscience! And if it succeeded, it would also "help" the Immortal Alliance!
Somehow, this "celestial punishment" also seemed to be idealistic; Xiao Jie took a whole lot of things without triggering any sign of celestial punishment.
Seven Stars Gathering Spirit Pill × 100: This is an essential means of recovering Spiritual Energy. Immortals rely on "mana" in battles. In this Drought Spirit World, Spiritual Energy recovery is extremely slow, so elixirs are the lifeline.
Infinite Golden Pill × 10: Known as the "invincible medicine" among immortal players. Once consumed, it grants nearly invincible protection for 5 seconds, a top-grade life-saving item.
Rejuvenation Pill × 10: As long as the body isn’t completely destroyed (at least 30% integrity remains), it can rapidly heal all injuries in 10 seconds, regenerating even cut limbs. Truly a "revival of the dead, flesh to bones."
Dragon Tiger Bursting Essence Pill × 10: Greatly boosts spell power and all basic attributes for a short time.
There was no shortage of talismans either.
Nine Heavens Thunder Talisman × 10: Summons Nine Heavens Divine Thunder to strike the target area, with a large range, high damage, and paralysis effect.
Xuanbing Prison Talisman × 10: Creates an extremely cold domain, significantly slowing enemies within the range and having a chance to freeze them.
Five Elements Escape Armor Talisman × 10 sets (5 talismans per set): One talisman for each of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Activating them greatly enhances the defensive capabilities of Five Elements Magic.
Taiyi Golden Light Talisman × 10: Creates a defensive shield with 10,000 durability points (blocking all physical and spell attacks).
Illusionary Phantom Talisman × 10: Creates numerous phantom avatars to confuse enemies, while the real body can enter an invisible state.
These talismans were all crafted by Mystic Gate Immortals of the Iron Blood Immortal Alliance, and their power is astounding. Outside, one talisman could sell for hundreds of spirit stones, but Xiao Jie took dozens at once.
With such ample preparation, Xiao Jie was quite confident about this operation.
"Are you planning to gamble on a big adventure, or ’run naked’?" Xiao Jie asked Heavenly Venerate, who was piloting the flying boat ahead.
’Running naked’ is a game term, meaning to go into a dangerous area with only the most basic weapons and supplies, without any valuable equipment—so it doesn’t matter if you die.
"Nonsense!" Heavenly Venerate patted the sides of the flying boat, "I’ve already got the flying boat out, how can I ’run naked’? I’ve been cautious for over a year, endured being looked down upon, I must earn back with interest on this trip!"
As they spoke, the flying boat had arrived above the Central Square.
At this moment, hundreds or even thousands of immortals were gathered here.
The entire square was densely packed, bustling with activity. Some in groups of three or five whispered, some meditated alone with eyes closed, while others checked equipment and replenished elixirs. The sky was continually filled with arriving flying boats, flying swords, and colorful clouds, joining this ever-growing team. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
In the most central high platform, there stood Emperor Shitian and his "Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance" immortals.
It was clear that this time, the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance had come out in full force—with at least two to three hundred people, all of whom were finely equipped and imposing. Among them, there were more than a dozen "Heavenly Immortal" level powerhouses, each surrounded by Law Aura, forming a domain of their own just by standing there.
"Emperor Shitian’s ambitions are not small," Xiao Jie marveled.
"Nonsense," Heavenly Venerate chuckled, "otherwise why bother to gather so many ’cannon fodder’?"
Xiao Jie wasn’t surprised at Heavenly Venerate’s straightforward expose of the key point.
