Chapter 460 - Truth
Chapter 460: Truth
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
“This so-called resurgence in spiritual energy is actually the invasion of a lower dimension realm by a higher dimension realm!”
Fang Yuan looked at the lifeless expression on the faces of Long Lizi, Farquhar and others, it was as though their parents had just died. Whereas, Fang Yuan had a sudden realisation.
Even if the Spiritual Realm had boundless amounts of spiritual energy, it was still brought about by its natural source, so why would it give them away for no apparent reason?
This was what the phrase “in order to take, one must first give” meant.
That Spiritual King Comet might have been a powerful invader at first, but after it was counteracted and repelled by Planet Earth, it could only adopt a more indirect method. Every millennium, it would increase its investments on Planet Earth by increasing the spiritual energy in Planet Earth and thus, attracted the “Leading Party”.
Due to the unique and rigid nature of Planet Earth’s will, it could not reject such great foreign benefits. Hence, Planet Earth was successfully changed peacefully.
After a few cycles, a large number of members were accumulated into the Leading Party before the heavenly will announced its “truth”. As they sought after longevity or breakthroughs or simply because they wanted to continue to satiate their desires of being high above everyone else, naturally, these people willingly betrayed this realm!
“This is the truth behind why the Spiritual Realm is invading this realm!”
Fang Yuan was enlightened at once. He then felt a chilly and ominous feeling, “If Planet Earth Realm is like this, what about Da Qian?”
This was similar to the transmission of dream master’s energy and how it cultivated the powerful dream masters.
Furthermore, how would the high-tiered dream masters’ ideas be any different from Long Lizi’s bunch’s ideas?
At most, the dream masters were stronger, had wilder ambitions and more experienced.
Or perhaps, the dream masters had long guessed it and they did not mind if Da Qian World were to be devoured by the dream master’s source world. However, they would definitely care about their own life and death!
But, from how the Spiritual King Realm was looking like now, the outcomes of these Leading Party members would be tragic!
“Kill!”
“The Lord of Heaven commands to kill every single living thing in this world! Don’t leave even a single one!”
“This is a battle between worlds, devour their everything!”
At that moment, changes occurred yet again on Spiritual King Island.
Several white jade doors appeared out of thin air and it was as though they were conveying arrays.
Accompanied by shining lights, numerous divine and sage-like immortal cultivators emerged and swarmed the surroundings like a swarm of locust.
“In order to hook this world up as a bait, the Spiritual Realm had already lost 10% of its natural source. It must be recovered!”
“How could these low-class pariahs enjoy the purest spiritual energy from the superior spiritual meridian?”
“Pillage them! Massacre them! Plunder this world’s everything! Their powerful beings devoured large amounts of spiritual energy, they would make great tonics! Make all of them into human-like spiritual pills using demonic pill-making techniques!”
……
Lots of spiritual wills and shouts could be heard which made everywhere felt uneasy.
“Why is this happening?”
Long Lizi’s face turned ashen and all his thoughts disappeared. It was as though he was going crazy, “We sacrificed the entire world, shouldn’t we become the heroes of the Spiritual Realm?”
These powerful beings present had already expected the destruction of Planet Earth.
However, they would have never imagined that even they themselves would be the Spiritual Realm’s targets.
The locust-like army of immortal cultivators were all elites that were at the 3rd Tier or above. The ones leading them all had 4th Tier cultivations and the generals all had the power of an area. Ling Lizi’s bunch were totally no match to them.
“Haha… no wonder I can’t find the two pieces of land, it is here!”
Moments later, the dull noise of thunder crackled.
A red cloud floated up at lightning speed from the depths of the oceans and quickly covered the entire sky above Huiming City.
The red cloud’s scary and deep spiritual aura along with the vague sight of a small plane in the depths of it brought about an overbearing might. It immediately obliterated everyone’s power of the arena below it.
“I am Ancestor Red Cloud! You all should be honoured to die by my hand and become my food!”
Within the red clouds, a red-haired elder sat with his legs crossed and calmly made his move.
“Rumble!”
A giant scarlet coloured palm extended from the red clouds and its target was evidently the Evil Killing Dhuta.
The Dhuta shouted and whipped out his magical weapon. A swastika symbol facing the giant palm immediately appeared.
“Bam!”
The moment the giant palm swiped, cracks appeared on the black-coloured swastika. It then grabbed the Evil Killing Dhuta with no hesitation.
“The kind of people I hate the most are donkey monks like you!”
Ancestor Red Cloud chuckled strangely and streaks of scarlet red spiritual aura entered the Evil Killing Dhuta’s body which began to continuously extract something.
After three breaths, lots of blood red streaks finally dispersed, revealing an extremely old and feeble Evil Killing Dhuta.
“You…”
All of the Evil Killing Dhuta’s divine techniques and magical powers disappeared. Even his Essence, Spirit and Magic were sucked dry too. He was now incredibly aged and weak, and if not for the red cloud below his feet, he would have collapsed and died.
The Evil Killing Dhuta then raised his trembling right hand and pointed at Ancestor Red Cloud. Suddenly, his eyes dilated as he stared at Ancestor Red Cloud and his breath stopped.
“A 5th Tier Divine Refining Grade immortal cultivator?”
Long Lizi closed his eyes, he already knew how frightening Ancestor Red Cloud was.
“What a powerful Essence Theft Technique to be able to suck this Dhuta dry and cause him to die from old age!”
Whereas, Fang Yuan saw another side of Ancestor Red Cloud.
Fang Yuan was very sure that this Evil Killing Dhuta had died from an old age. Even if his body was checked again, it would still be the same pile of useless bones and rotten flesh.
All the vital elemental energy, spiritual energy and such that used to be inside the Dhuta’s body had all been sucked out and used up by Ancestor Red Cloud. Ancestor Red Cloud left the Dhuta with a measly life, which meant that he would not trigger a killer tribulation nor bring about attention from the heaven! It was such an ingenious trick!
“Sir!”
Seeing how the Evil Killing Dhuta’s life got sucked away so easily by Ancestor Red Cloud, Venerable Moonchaser lost his composure too.
“We followed the heavenly will and opened up the world! We are meritorious! Meritorious!”
“Venerable Red Cloud, all of us are elites of this world, we are willing to submit to you!”
Long Lizi immediately shouted as his thought changed immediately when he saw a glimmer of hope for survival.
“Submit to me? Hehe!”
Ancestor Red Cloud sniggered coldly. The red clouds in the surrounding kept on expanding. Suddenly, the red clouds swept the two of them to the side and devoured them as they tried to flee.
“Such a pity… I can’t leave you all alive, this is the heavenly will too!’
Ancestor Red Cloud pointed to the skies and the smile on his face turned sinister.
“Firstly, you all are the elites of this world and are Energy Souls, but all of you have traces of this world! Even if your blood is changed, such traces cannot be erased!”
“Secondly, after you all devoured large amounts of spiritual energy, you are all extremely nourishing spiritual pills in my eyes!”
“Thirdly, you all are indeed meritorious for sacrificing one entire world, but, the natural source of the Spiritual Realm is precious, how could it be shared with others so easily? Now that the two worlds coincide, the heavenly will is not around and it is the perfect time to clean up you all!”
“See, with all these reasons, how could I keep you all?”
Ancestor Red Cloud’s gaze turned extremely savage.
Actually, there was something he did not mention.
The outcomes of the members of such Leading Party would usually not be good. Unless they had an agreement with the powerful forces in the Spiritual Realm beforehand, even if they were favoured by the realm’s will, they would still be annihilated by the Spiritual Realm’s powerful beings during the special period when the two realms were merging whereby the Spiritual Realm’s will was in chaos.
Nevertheless, there was one point which was well said.
Such a Leading Party comprised of the elites of this entire realm and they possessed great fate energy in them. Their qualifications would be above anyone else and they could become powerful beings even in the new realm.
If the natural source of the Spiritual Realm could not even supply sufficient spiritual energy to the sects and powerful beings of its own realm, how could it supply it to others so easily?
Hence, those who conquered other realms would definitely kill such powerful beings they face in the other realm in order to remove any possible future threats.
However, if these powerful beings could survive this period of time and wait for its realm to be entirely devoured by the Spiritual Realm, they could become immortal cultivators and receive rewards from the Spiritual Realm’s heaven.
In the Spiritual Realm, there were a few such powerful beings. They way they rose up were through numerous victories in bloody battles.
At this stage, all the powerful beings in the Spiritual Realm already had a common agreement to work together and attack other realms. Furthermore, they agreed to maintain the stability of the upper management and would not easily allow others to vie for their authority.
“Since that’s the case…”
Fang Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and spoke, “The natural source of the Spiritual Realm is deficient too? This explains why it must devour other realms to nourish it? Furthermore, the normal people at your side cannot easily absorb spiritual energy too? Is this just the privilege of sect members?”
“You are rather smart, eh? Even if it’s true, so what?”
Ancestor Red Cloud answered in a slightly surprised tone as he stared at Fang Yuan.
Even the Spiritual Realm would be short of spiritual energy?
Although it sounded absurd, it was actually reasonable.
After all, the sects and powerful beings it supplied to were very horrifying, they were like swarms of locusts and it was a heavy burden.
Thus, the Spiritual Realm had to devour Planet Earth Realm’s rich natural source to replenish its own elemental energy.
All the spiritual energy the Spiritual Realm supplied over to this realm were heavy expenditures that were painfully squeezed out from the big sects and the elders.
“Sigh…”
After Fang Yuan received the answer, he sighed and was rather desolated. “I can’t believe even the deities and divine beings of a higher dimension Spiritual Realm cannot achieve immortality and live forever!”
“Little kid, you are smart! If you are from the Spiritual Realm, I would not mind accepting you as my disciple, but unfortunately…”
Ancestor Red Cloud waved his arm and a small world pressed down from the red cloud.
All the powerful beings in this realm felt as though there was a 1000 ton thing crushing them at once. Under the suppression of such a high-tiered power, they could not use any of their techniques.
Just with his own power, he could suppress numerous 4th Tiers; this was the mighty and ferocious power a 5th Tier powerful being! The difference between one tier was worlds apart!
“Slow down, Ancestor Red Cloud!”
“How could such great benefits be reaped by you yourself only?”
…
Loud noises came from two other sides. It was obvious that other Divine Refining Grade powerful beings were rushing over quickly.
“I’m so dead!”
At this stage, even Long Lizi gave up on the hope of resisting and closed his eyes.
“Cough cough! Everybody!”
Suddenly, a whisper could be heard in their ears. The source of the whisper was Fang Yuan.
Even under the area, Fang Yuan still stood firmly and stared at Ancestor Red Cloud, who was on top of the clouds, with no fear.
“If you don’t want to die, immediately hand over the command of the arrays of the entire Planet Earth to me!”
Fang Yuan secretly sent out his spiritual will to urge them.
“There’s no use!”
Long Lizi smiled miserably, “Once the array is activated, there’s no possibility of turning back…… Also, those array eyes have already automatically combined together, no one can destroy it…”
“Who says… I am going to stop the array?”
Fang Yuan returned a surreptitious smile.
