That night… Jiang Ming expanded the Saint Province Dao Square to cover the entire sect’s estate, including the nine main peaks and hundreds of other peaks.
He then increased Dao fluctuations in the nine main peaks up to 10-fold and the other peaks up to 3-fold when compared to non-estate areas.
Standing amidst the sky, Jiang Ming looked at the spiritual field, where its spiritual essence’s concentration was at its extreme.
It was due to the infusion of the supreme-grade spiritual fountain in the center of the spiritual field into earth veins that connected the entire Eastern Region, extracting its power and gathering spiritual essence from heaven and earth. Jiang Ming executed a special ability to diverge spiritual essence into eight branches that flowed to the bottom of the eight main peaks, forming spiritual veins. He also sent the majestic spiritual essence out of the spiritual mountain located in the center of the spiritual field, infusing it in them.
In less than two hours, spiritual essence had rapidly diffused out of all eight peaks, forming wisps of vapor that condensed into fogs.
Outside Taiyang Peak’s great hall…
Sect Master Yan was waiting silently. He could not help waiting since Gu Hai left even though the latter had told him that it would take about two to three days.
Meanwhile, he felt very excited, so excited that he seemed to have returned to feverish days in his youth.
‘Ten types of medicinal pills, all of them are extremely valuable that I only heard of them previously. The most valuable ones are the 100 techniques, which not only have given our disciples more choices, but each technique is also strong beyond imagination.
‘And the 1,000 special abilities, each stronger than any special ability available in the sect. All these have further enhanced the sect’s foundation by 100 times. Thus, our Jiuyang Sect has more than enough to rise up soon!
‘Besides, it’s 10,000 pieces of Dao Vessels, among which are some supreme-grade with terrific might! Even now, I feel that I’m still dreaming. It’s so surreal, just like an illusion. ‘If the concentration of Dao fluctuations and spiritual essence further increases… Oh heaven, oh my earth, I’ll have no regrets even if I die now!
‘With the downfall of Eastern Region, it’s time for my Jiuyang to rise up and maybe become a Sacred Land in about 100 or 1,000 years?
‘I think we will. We will definitely be one! By that time, I’ll be the Holy Lord then! Hahaha.’
He became more ecstatic as he thought.
At that moment, he somehow sensed the changes in the surroundings and abruptly lifted his head, gazing into the night sky.
Following that, he closed his eyes and opened them abruptly after a while. “I almost fell into the enlightening state earlier, and the speed of comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth has got faster. Is this the effect of strengthened Dao fluctuations?”
Surprise filled Sect Master Yan’s face, and he was ecstatic as he muttered, “With such additional support, our disciples will be able to improve themselves rapidly. After all, the easier it is to comprehend heaven and earth’s laws, the easier it is to have a breakthrough. This ability is heaven-defying. I don’t think any Sacred Land can do so!”
He was ecstatic.
He then discovered wisps of spiritual vapor surging out of each peak, which gradually got denser.
‘A large amount of spiritual essence is surging everywhere. Is this induced from the earth veins? Oh my, what a holistic strengthening of the sect! I think it’s no longer an extravagant hope for our sect to become a Sacred Land in no time!’ Sect Master Yan shuddered in shock at that thought.
Following that, he took a deep breath to recollect himself, straightened his clothes, and paid his respects in the direction of Chuyang Peak, sincerely from his heart.
In the dark night…
The Submerged Dragon Continent in Shenzhou was a slightly bigger island but a size smaller than Eastern Region. Nevertheless, it was considered big enough. On this continent, there were many sects with many experts too. However, if these experts were to be compared to those in Shenzhou, they were a lot weaker.
At the bottom of a mountain, 18 people appeared out of thin air. Their intimidating auras were incompatible with the world.
As soon as the first one appeared, he pushed upward with his opened palm, and invisible power gushed out, forming a defensive shield that enveloped them. It was removed only when they were assured that their surroundings were safe enough. A strong-looking young man closed his eyes as a mirror emerged from his head, diffusing into the void. He reopened his eyes only after a while.
“My aura is merging into this world. Through the probing of Akasa Mirror, we’re on a lonely continent in the ocean. There are many sects here, but basically they’re in a messy state. Far in the west is an enormous continent. I think it should be the center of this world because it has 70% of the world’s luck and numerous terrific fortunes! Our mission is to destroy the world, but it’s difficult with our current power,” the young man said.
“We have 100 teams here, but I don’t care about the others! Our aim is to loot benefits and get as many points as possible! To get points, we can only hunt and slaughter! And this continent we’re on is just a good start! Chen, you do the planning,” the man said in a simple manner.
Chen nodded. “Destroying the world is to slaughter! Whether it’s looting benefits or gaining points, we still have to slaughter! But what we need to do now is to scout out the exact condition here, identify the number of experts, and find out if we can overbearingly overwhelm them?”
“It’d be quite difficult to overwhelm them overbearingly, I think. I just sensed that there are at least five Level 10 experts. They have location advantages and may unite to suppress us if we overwhelm them overbearingly. Also, don’t forget that our real strength is suppressed.”
“Boss, what about we devastate a force to induce doubts and even internal power struggle among them? After all, 100 teams are descending to this world, and we have no idea how many of them will be sent to this continent. If there’re many of them, the benefits we can gain will be greatly reduced,” Che suggested.
“Great, let’s do it as soon as possible. Let’s start scouting out the conditions and scheming against the others!” The young man made a decision.
Not long after that, they found a sect called Shenshui Sect. It was a Sacred Land with an Imminent Immortal Supreme Elder.
As soon as they got there, they did not trespass the sect. Instead, they took out 108 nuclear bombs and buried them around the sect.
“Elder Brother, isn’t it a waste to take out all of them?”
“No, it’s not. We can completely destroy this sect and wipe out a few cities in its surroundings to earn some points with just a blast. Moreover, we can see if we can kill the Imminent Immortal expert too.”
“Alright!”
After setting up the bombs, they immediately retreated.
Another tram appeared in East Sea, 14 of them. They were at least Paradis experts, very powerful.
“Destroy a world means wiping out all living things. Most worlds have ocean areas larger than land, hence a greater number of living things. Since we’ve descended here, shall we start from here?”
“Are we going to sweep across them overwhelmingly or kill only strong experts?”
“Since a perfect planar world allows 100 teams to descend simultaneously, many great forces and numerous Level 10 experts must be here. We might be besieged if we sweep across them, so it’s too dangerous for us. Taking our personal safety as a prerequisite, we shall take meticulous steps and attack without anyone knowing.”
“How are we going to earn lots of points then?”
“Virus!”
“Elder Brother, won’t it be too cruel if we do that?”
“Since it’s a world-annihilating mission, the fate of this world is decided. If we don’t do it, the other teams will do it anyway. Disperse, spill the virus, and come back. We’ll head to the land together!” “Got it!”
After an hour, they gathered again, heading toward the land.
At that moment, a blazing ray of light abruptly surged from the eastern part of East Sea into the sky, brightening the night sky.
After a while, a rumbling sound was heard.
It stirred up a 1,000-meter high wave and shook the void, creating a scene like the end of the world.
“D*rn, who’s so cruel to detonate nuclear bombs? They denoted at least 100 of them!”
“Such a thing can only kill mortals and destroy the sects’ formations. It’s almost impossible to kill Level 9 and Level 10 experts. Moreover, it’s not only expensive and ineffective but purely a waste as well. It also easily attracts attention, stupid!”
At the edge of Western Region, a team appeared.
One of them brandished a scepter and opened up a pitch-black passage. Many black coffins flew out of it and released a zombie each, forming a great army dispersing to all directions. Meanwhile, a great number of Zerg fighters appeared in Southern Region.
The world that night was in total chaos.
In Eastern Region…
A flag appeared above Black Wind City, enveloping it. The scarlet light burst out, and in just a few moments, the large city of nearly a million people was dead silent.
Eight people were standing on a peak about 1,000 miles away. They were gazing in the direction of Black Wind City, their faces betraying their shock.
“Who’s this? Why are they slaughtering a mortal city? Are they not afraid of creating public anger? Fortunately, our mission is merely to devastate the Jiuyang Sect!”
“Crazy, whoever did it must have gone nuts! No way! Look at the devastative light at the sea in the east! It looks like the nuclear bomb from the technological world, isn’t it?”
“There is also a large amount of dead aura over the ocean. What is going on?” “D*rn, would it be that gang which doesn’t have any bottom line?”
“If it is, this world is terribly unlucky.”
“Let’s just ignore them and focus on devastating the Jiuyang Sect! Since we have 10 teams in this mission, the Jiuyang Sect must be very dangerous, comparable to a forbidden area. We shall not take any risk but shall first infiltrate the sect from its periphery.”
This team was very meticulous.
On Chuyang Peak…
After Jiang Ming was done setting up what he had to, he was planning to start evolving his internal world. But he abruptly sensed something and squinted his eyes as he gazed into the east.
Five Elemental Linlong came closer to Jiang Ming and asked, “Senior Brother, what’s going on? Why is the atmosphere filled with so much death aura? It’s like the end of the world.”
“I’ve got a strong feeling of restlessness!” Xi Yao said.
“It’s a disaster affecting the whole world. Girl, notify the Sect Master so that he can call back all disciples, must act quickly! Xi Yao, notify your Master that foreign sky devils have descended on our world. Meanwhile, both of you stay here in the mountains. Don’t go anywhere else,” Jiang Ming said as he frowned.
“I’ll go to Northern Region and will come back in a short while!” Jiang Ming said as he tore the space to enter it.
