Chapter 1278
[Immortal Realm Chapter] The World Shatters, A Vast Black Hand Appears
It was a beam of light coming from an extremely long distance, seemingly just a very thin ray aimed at my head.
It is unclear where it comes from, but the spiritual senses of cultivators are sometimes very accurate.
Lin Shan came to an abrupt stop, then suddenly rolled to the side!
A crimson ripple shot out from the enemy camp in an instant, striking the spot where they had landed. It was incredibly fast and silent, and a hole was punched through the very center, followed by a dense network of cracks spreading outwards.
The entire sky cracked open like a spider web, and a vast expanse of void energy surged in. The powerful suction formed a terrifying wind tunnel, and many things within the Kongtong Realm were about to be sucked away. However, it was faintly visible that there was another layer of light covering the outside, which was a special method to seal off the entire spiritual realm!
Lin Shan gasped. If he hadn't dodged it, he wasn't sure if the Heavenly Dao Spirit Cloud could have blocked it for him.
He opened his Star-Slaying Demon Eyes and scanned the enemy camp once more.
Following the trail, they discovered that hidden within the fleet was a colossal behemoth, square and trapezoidal in shape, with a dark, round tower rotating 360 degrees without any blind spots.
That ripple just now came from this tower.
The huge box below is probably used for energy storage. On both sides are a spectrum analyzer and a nanometer-wave laser radar, which is also known as laser guidance.
If the radar hadn't detected that sneak attack and made Lin Shan's newly cultivated Yuan Tai sense something amiss, his previous Yuan Shen wouldn't have been able to dodge it in advance!
"Hiss, those two old fogies, Yanling and Yuling Ancestor, are clearly sending me to scout ahead, aren't they?"
He couldn't help but curse the two old foxes in his heart.
This thing is clearly a powerful weapon from the Microcosm, capable of posing a fatal threat to those in the Void Transformation stage. The Immortal Remnant Alliance must have known about it over the years, but I, the newcomer, am unaware of it.
Since that's the case, let's turn back, help those two deal with their opponents first, and then consider breaking out together.
Just as I was thinking this, another large fleet descended upon the outside.
Two more Star Martial Emperors have arrived!
The exposure of the Kongtong Realm has reached the upper echelons of the entire Microcosm, and all worlds and countries are sending troops to the scene. The Star Martial Emperor is also trying his best to get there.
One wave subsides only for another to rise, an endless and inexhaustible stream!
"Haha, the four of you have arrived very early, but it seems you haven't taken down these remnants of the immortal path yet. It's just the right time for the two of us to clean up the mess!"
The two Star Martial Emperors, new to the city, were full of vigor and high spirits, and were overjoyed at the sight of the scene.
It's good that there's no result yet; it's perfect for them to come and pick up the scraps.
However, a general in the rear fleet immediately reported the situation. When they learned that two Star Martial Emperors had died tragically ahead, the two men were instantly stunned.
Listening to his subordinate's report, he looked at the unfamiliar faces in the distance.
"Another Void Realm cultivator has emerged in the Immortal Remnant Alliance, and he killed two people in one fell swoop after breaking through?"
When asked why, none of the people present could figure out the reason; they only reminded them that the other party was very powerful and seemed to be a practitioner of both martial arts and immortality.
"Dual cultivation of immortality and martial arts?"
Upon hearing that Xingwuhuang had been beaten to death with fists and kicks, the two men were immediately intimidated before the battle even began. They were unsure whether they could withstand the attack and whether it would be safer to stay in the fleet.
The scattered Star Warriors in front also fled back. Lin Shan did not deal a heavy blow to them, clearly looking down on these lackeys. At this moment, he turned to deal with the opponents of Ancestor Yanling and Ancestor Yuling.
There were four Star Martial Emperors left on the field. Upon seeing this, they were all on high alert, but after actually witnessing it, they found that it was not as powerful as they had expected.
It turns out that when Lin Shan intruded into someone else's domain to help, without the Thunder Pool Domain to back him up, he could only use Heavenly Treasures or Supreme Divine Powers without the support of Void Essence. The fight was ineffective, like scratching an itch, and the real pressure he brought was far less than that of the other two patriarchs.
The four were initially very nervous, but they gradually relaxed and quickly called for reinforcements to join the battle.
The two men, who had been observing from within the fleet for a long time, exchanged a puzzled look.
"This newly appeared Void Realm cultivator seems rather ordinary!"
However, seeing is believing. Many of the warships had recorded the events, and the replay was immediately shown to the two men, who then understood how the people in front of them had died.
Now I'm even more afraid to go out.
Lin Shan was also a bit frustrated at the moment. He was in the domain of Ancestor Yanling, and he could not exert 70% of his strength. He could not use his domain to replace the other party. In addition, he had not yet had time to learn the Void Realm technique to make his combat power take shape, and the luck value of the Misfortune Divine Power was also exhausted. He was unable to deal with these people for the time being!
"No, we can't let this drag on any longer."
After discussing it, the two patriarchs unanimously decided to take out the Xuan Tian spiritual treasure and jointly activate it to take a risky gamble!
"Black Tortoise Spirit Boat, come out!"
The flying magical artifact was thrown into the sky, and then Lin Shan sent the last twenty-odd elite fire seeds of the Immortal Remnant Alliance up there. The two Void Realm cultivators also jumped onto the ship.
The four Star Martial Emperors pursued relentlessly from behind, bombarding the treasure ship with a barrage of attacks. Everyone on board was thrown about, but they clung tightly to the railings.
Master Yanling stood at the bow of the boat, looking around solemnly.
"Ignore them, charge straight at their fleet. The fact that they can jump through the void means the entrance is right there!"
"Wait, are you crazy?!"
The Spirit Master quickly grabbed him.
"Didn't you see that tower just now? That's the most famous doomsday-level ripple ray in the Microcosm. It's one big and one small, one thick and one thin, just like the shore-based artillery. It's a devastating weapon in space warfare. You can only dodge it, not take it head-on!"
"I know."
Master Yanling turned his head and asked him seriously for the first time.
"Then what do you suggest we do? Just stay here and wait to die?"
"."
Both of them fell silent. They both knew that a deadly weapon was hidden ahead, but now they were forced into a corner, and even though they knew there was danger, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
The remaining members of the Immortal Alliance remained silent, leaving the decision entirely to their ancestor, as their cultivation level was simply insufficient.
As the third person to reach the Void Transformation stage, Lin Shan's words carried considerable weight, casting a crucial vote.
"Charge! Whether we can break through or not, trying is better than nothing!"
The Xuanwu Spirit Boat suddenly raised a thick light shield, shrank its hull, and carried everyone forward, rushing towards the vast cosmic fleet ahead!
With the four Star Martial Emperors hot on their heels, orders were given from ahead. All warships opened fire simultaneously, locking onto the spirit vessel, unleashing every weapon imaginable!
dong dong dong dong!
Da da da da da.
The spirit boat shook violently, and the crackling sounds outside hit the light shield in a cacophony. The people on board poured out spirit stones, which were the supplies collected in the Kongtong Realm over the years, to help the spirit boat in critical moments.
However, as a major consumer of spiritual energy, the Xuan Tian Ling Bao consumes a massive amount of spiritual energy with every breath, so even Lin Shan has to pay out of his own pocket to continuously add spirit stones into it.
He didn't yet possess the Void Essence, so he couldn't activate the Profound Heaven Spiritual Treasure and could only watch helplessly from the rear.
Braving the barrage of fire, Ancestor Yanling and Ancestor Yuling worked together, enduring the bombardment and charging towards the enemy with unwavering resolve. The scene was incredibly tragic and heroic, a testament to the unwavering courage of the Yixian Alliance accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years, finally blossoming in this final moment!
The opponent was a fleet from all over the universe. They just stood there motionless, like live targets, and fired at them. The trapezoidal tower rotated again, locked onto this side, and charged with powerful energy. Once charged, it immediately emitted a black hole!
The Doomsday Ripple Ray struck again, hitting the Xuanwu Spirit Ship hard.
"Bang!!!"
An intense explosion lit up the bow of the ship, and the Xuanwu Spirit Boat flew backward uncontrollably, tumbling hundreds of times in the air. Everyone inside was left dizzy and shaken.
Ancestor Yanling, with the highest cultivation level, was the first to react. After straightening the ship, he stood firm and roared.
"Again!"
As expected of a Xuanwu Spirit Boat, it withstood the opponent's trump card without suffering much damage. The light shield remained unbroken, and it blocked the fatal blow!
As equipment of the Immortal Expeditionary Force back then, this ship was used to fight against extraterrestrial demons and charge through thousands of troops. It was certainly not a shoddy vessel and could easily withstand small-scale battles like the shimmering universe.
The members of the Immortal Alliance regained their confidence and silently prayed that this time they would succeed!
Black birds cried out on both sides of the flying boat, and strange phenomena appeared. The boat was covered with flowing light and clouds. The flapping of its wings propelled the spirit boat into the air, and it turned into a stream of light that shot towards the opposite side.
But it still couldn't break through the endless firepower and was slammed back by the continuous kinetic energy!
The four Star Martial Emperors behind them stopped chasing and gathered together to watch this scene, marveling at the ruthlessness of these cultivators.
They wouldn't dare to charge directly into the fleet's firepower either. The power of technology lies in its mass production; how can manpower compare to a vast amount of artillery fire?
After eight unsuccessful attempts, three more Star Martial Emperors descended from the void on the other side!
These individuals are reclusive powerhouses in the universe, secretly controlling one to several worlds. Upon hearing that the Kongtong Realm had been exposed, they disregarded everything and brought their troops here to witness this historic moment!
As the number of Star Martial Emperors increased and their fleet grew larger, the entire Immortal Remnant Alliance was filled with despair.
At this point, Ancestor Yanling and Ancestor Yuling stopped mentioning a one-on-one duel. No matter how powerful the three of them were, they were no match for the Nine Star Martial Emperors. They could only try to escape!
After numerous unsuccessful attempts, a sense of pessimism spread, and as the situation continued to deteriorate, he eventually took his own life.
"Gentlemen, we have done our best."
After saying this, Ancestor Yanling looked dejected and his eyes reddened, as if he had the idea of mutual destruction!
"We, the remnants of the immortal path, will fight against the heavens and against man, preferring death to surrender. We come from the lofty realm of immortals and will never become prisoners of others. Let us sacrifice ourselves for righteousness at this moment, and embrace the flames that consume us!"
"and many more!"
Lin Shan quickly stopped him, telling him not to act impulsively.
"There's another way. We don't need to be fixated on breaking through the blockade; as long as we can break through the Kongtong Realm, that's enough!"
This world is already on the verge of collapse. With a little more effort, it will collapse completely, at which point the blockade will break down on its own.
If you want to hasten the destruction of the Spirit Realm, then start by destroying it from within; there's still a glimmer of hope.
Upon hearing this, everyone snapped out of their daze and hurriedly followed Lin Shan, launching a frenzied attack on the land beneath their feet!
Master Yanling understood and steered the Xuanwu Spirit Boat to turn around and flee, wandering around the Kongtong Realm and playing a game of cat and mouse with his opponent.
With the support of the nine Star Martial Emperors, the outer fleet finally grew bolder and began to advance, relentlessly bombarding the spirit ship with endless artillery fire, sending up lava tens of meters high as it struck the earth's tectonic plates.
The Kongtong Realm was already in dire straits, and now, after being destroyed by both sides, it finally couldn't withstand the damage and began to collapse from the inside!
The earth sank, space collapsed, rivers evaporated, and the sky cracked.
Countless spatial rifts opened up all around, cold winds whistled and escaped, and countless sources of gravity sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
Riddled with holes and leaking air, this last pure land in the faint universe is coming to an end, bursting out with an echo of unwillingness!
Rumble rumble rumble~~~~
The entire spiritual realm collapsed, and pieces of the sky crashed down, revealing the cold void like a shattered mirror. Turbulent spatial currents were still surging. This spiritual realm was like a large ship on a river, and now it was about to face destruction and death!
The members of the Yixian Alliance stared intently at the outside, where there was a layer of mottled light pollution membrane, which was the blockade imposed on them by the Cosmic Alliance outside of Kongtong.
However, on the eve of the collapse of this spiritual realm, it began to change color and thin out, with large patches of light moving around, rushing to wherever there was a crack, much like the five-colored stones used to patch the sky, robbing Peter to pay Paul, and the holes could not be completely plugged.
The commanders of all the major fleets inside panicked. If the Kongtong Realm were to collapse, wouldn't they be buried with it if they stayed inside?
The Xuan Tian Spirit Boat, belonging to the remnants of the immortal path, can withstand the force of collapse, but these broken copper and scrap iron may not be able to. If the other party leaves unscathed, leaving them here to perish, the thought alone is enough to make one anxious.
"Let's go, forget about them, jump out first, or we'll all die."
A large number of the fleet mutinied, and everyone had their own ideas. They all advocated jumping out first, and no one wanted to die.
But the nine Star Martial Emperors were surprisingly in unison at this moment!
"All fleets, listen to my command! Do not retreat even a step! Pursue and kill the Immortal Legacy Alliance with all your might! Anyone who dares to flee will be killed without mercy!"
So what if the spiritual realm collapses?
The Star Emperor possesses the power of space and is confident that he can survive the apocalypse. The fleet is merely a tool for these powerful figures, and they will naturally sacrifice themselves for him in critical moments.
They brutally killed a group of disobedient generals, and then ordered numerous fleets to surround and annihilate the Immortal Remnant Alliance, risking everything!
At a certain moment, the outer seal could no longer fill the hole in this world, and the power of repair could not keep up with the speed of collapse. The Kongtong Realm finally ushered in its own swan song.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amidst countless explosions, the world collapsed completely from the outside in, the spiritual realm shattered, the central divine mountain was lifted high by the earth dragon, and the Fengjian Stele, like a sharp sword piercing into outer space, flew up and suddenly broke through the outer blockade!
"Now!"
The members of the Yixian Alliance shouted excitedly. At the bow of the ship, Ancestor Yanling seized the opportunity and suddenly activated the Xuantian Spiritual Treasure. He transformed into a stream of light, turning around the fragments of space and soaring into the outer void!
The space fleet behind them kept exploding, swept up by the power of heaven and earth, unable to control their own destiny, like clumsy steel toys, helplessly watching the space in front of them roll like falling rocks, their cries of pain mixed with anger, as the nine Star Martial Emperors transformed into nine meteorites and chased after them.
But they could only sigh in vain, unable to even grasp the tail of the Xuanwu Spirit Ship.
"With the extinction of the laws of heaven and earth and the destruction of Kongtong, the remnants of the immortal path have nowhere to hide. Where can you go if you flee?"
Hearing the unwilling roars from behind, the members of the Remnant Immortal Alliance burst into laughter:
"That's none of your concern!"
Following the sacred mountain stele, they broke free from the shackles of the world and finally found a way out of their desperate situation, once again turning the tide and surviving.
Although the future is bleak, there is still a glimmer of hope; we'll deal with the future later.
But in the next moment, a colossal hand suddenly appeared from the sky, stretching out from outside, larger than the entire world, and pressed down hard.
Its powerful aura was in no way inferior to that of a true immortal in the mortal world, and the star-refining power it contained was earth-shattering!
"A mere ant, dead yet not fallen, has finally been found by this monitor. It's time to end this long-cherished wish of hundreds of thousands of years and allow me to complete my mission and return home." (End of Chapter)
