Chapter 1395: Unpredictable Situation
Peace ensued in the Spirit Sea, but it was a weird situation. After the initial peace, waves were created again.
After the waves settled, peace ensued once again. The Cosmic Marble Buddha, Illusory Sun Hades, Monkey, Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the rest looked at the golden lake in front of them quietly. They were also watching Lin Feng, who was sitting on the Origin Golden Cup under the Sky-Shielding Umbrella, as well as the Supreme Heavenly Mirror that was sinking into the lake.
Everyone was patiently waiting at this moment. As time passed, they became more and more anxious.
The unpredictable changes in the Spirit Sea caused the Greater World to descend into chaos too.
Due to the War of the Two Worlds, there was a huge portion of the Barren Expanses that was occupied by humans. The humans used various treasures and spiritual formations to alter the flow of spiritual energy and made it a suitable place for cultivation.
The region that was closed to the passageway between the two worlds was also occupied by the humans.
However, a storm seemed to be brewing in the Barren Expanses right now.
The two pillars of the human cultivation world, the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Great Void Sect, were in the Spirit Sea, battling for the control of it.
As they left together, the human cultivation world became vulnerable. The demons seemed to be planning on doing something as a result of this.
Although they couldn't be certain when the Great Void Sect and Celestial Sect of Wonders left the Greater World and knew that the Heaven-Destroying Sword had remained behind, they were still tempted to attack the Divine Lands.
The human cultivation world was also prepared to resist the demons if they tried to attack.
Although they didn't solely focus on defense, they temporarily gave up their occupation of the outer regions. The weaker sects and powers also recalled their disciples back to the Divine Lands, for fear that they couldn't adapt in time if anything happened.
In the region of the Barren Expanses that was connected to the Southern Territories of the Divine Lands, the situation was much more stable.
That region was controlled by the Celestial Sect of Wonders' Wasteland Valley. It was the alternative residence of Shi Tianhao, the Huangtian Emperor.
Furthermore, Shi Tianhao was holding the fort in his own Huangtian Residence.
Shi Tianhao's cultivation and abilities were so powerful that the demons had to think twice before thinking of launching an attack against him.
The Great Qin Emperor Shi Zongmao publicized Shi Tianhao's battle against the Dragons in the Void Battleground. This informed the entire Grand Celestial World that the Immortal Soul Second Level Huangtian Emperor was able to challenge a Vipralopa Stage cultivator with his powers.
After inheriting the Heaven's Gate City in the Sky and the incomplete Celestial Sky Formation, he was able to fight a Vipralopa Stage demon.
Besides Shi Tianhao, Lin Feng's eldest disciple, Xiao Yan, had also briefly appeared in the Inferno Emperor City.
Xiao Yan could summon the powers of the Netherworld Sea. If he disregarded boundaries, the destruction that he could possibly bring was immense.
Lin Feng had many talented disciples, especially the Four Heroes of the Celestial Sect - Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao. They were especially astonishing and outstanding. The progress that they made in such a short period of time was unparalleled.
With the two of them holding the fort, the demons in the Barren Expanses were still deterred even though they were tempted to attack.
The demons were also afraid of being ambushed by the humans. They were also worried about the frightening Heaven-Destroying Sword.
The tense atmosphere lasted for some time. However, the demons and humans could sense the change in aura of the Heavens and Earth as time passed.
Whether it was the Barren Expanses or the Divine Lands, time and space would experience strange changes occasionally. They would suddenly distort before returning to normal.
The flow of spiritual energy also became very well. It was as if something from somewhere else was causing disruption.
That disruption wasn't from the Greater World, but somewhere out of the Grater Worlds. This kind of changes didn't just occur in a particular region or area; they seemed to be omnipresent.
The battle for the Spirit Sea was the most crucial event that happened in recent years. Everyone monitored the situation. Even if they might not have sufficient powers or abilities to be part of the battle, they still tried their best to gather news about the situation. This was to aid themselves in keeping abreast and possibly averting a crisis.
The Spirit Sea seemed to be everywhere and was closely connected to the Greater World. Its presence couldn't be detected, but every time and spatial dimension in the Greater World perfectly overlapped one another.
Everyone recalled such a unique characteristic and quickly understood why there were those changes.
Something must have had happened in the Spirit Sea, which affected the Greater World that they were all in.
For such tremendous changes to affect the Greater World, the conflict in the Spirit Sea must be very intense.
It was different from the time when the Hades Emperor conflicted against the Spirit Sea on his own, or the actions targeted towards the Spirit Sea when Lin Feng, the Great Void Sect and the hades tribe tore a hole in the Spirit Sea.
This round of changes originated from inside the Spirit Sea. The clash between the various parties shook the Spirit Sea, but they also tried their best to prevent tearing another hole in the Spirit Sea, which would cause everyone to be discriminated by the Spirit Sea.
As they tried to overcome their opponents while restricting the impact of their attacks, they didn't sense anything in the Spirit Sea. However, those who weren't in the Spirit Sea could sense that the Spirit Sea was rippling with movements.
This rippling effect wasn't very intense, but it persisted.
After realizing this point, everyone in the Greater World slowly understood that intense clashes must have ensued between the various parties in the Spirit Sea.
In addition, the rippling effect seemed to be getting more and more intense.
The clashes over in the Spirit Sea also impacted the Greater World. The tense atmosphere in the Spirit Sea slowly experienced changes too.
At the border between the human and demon territories above the Barren Expanses, there was a majestic city that was adapted and built from a spiritual mountain. On a cliff at one side of this mountain city, the words 'Inferno Emperor City' could be seen. This was Xiao Yan's alternative residence.
In the Inferno Emperor City right now, Xiao Yan wasn't present. His First Disciple, the Tian Cang Holy Man Tang Jun also remained in the Inferno Precipice on Mount Yujing.
The person who remained here was the third-generation First Disciple of the Inferno Precipice, the Yuan Mi Master Duan Muhong.
However, Duan Muhong was responsible for settling day-to-day matters. It was the Mahayana level treasure, the Holy Dragon Heavenly Armor, that was holding the fort in the Inferno Emperor City.
In a side pavilion beside the central pavilion of the Inferno Emperor City, there was a tall and mighty middle-aged man seated cross-legged on the floor. His eyes were shut as he regulated his breathing.
This middle-aged man's skin had scaly dragon patterns. Although he wore an ordinary robe, an indestructible aura was exuded from his body.
This man was the original soul of the Holy Dragon Heavenly Armor, Long Shenke. He revealed his form and cultivated in the Inferno Emperor City.
Although the flow of spiritual energy over here wasn't as good as that on Mount Yujing, it was still quite extraordinary after years of alteration.
Although Long Shenke was cultivating now, he was also closely monitoring the situation in the Greater World. Since he stood guard in the Inferno Emperor City, he naturally understood the current situation.
The Inferno Emperor City was in a very sensitive position as it was located at the border between the human and demon territories. It was also a very special position.
If the demons wanted to test the humans, the Inferno Emperor City would undoubtedly be a good choice. They could test out the situation in the Divine Lands by observing the reaction of the Celestial Sect of Wonders' reaction.
The Spirit Sea caused changes in the Greater World. Long Shenke also reacted quickly. He stood up and his gaze transcended void space. He was observing the regions that the demons controlled.
He placed his hands behind his back and his aura slowly soared. He heated up and even caused the temperature in the Inferno Emperor City to rise.
His clothing disappeared and what replaced them was the Holy Dragon Heavenly Armor.
His entire body was now covered by the armor, though he didn't put on his helmet. Besides the aura of indestructibility that he revealed, he also revealed a ferocious strength that was filled with attacking intent.
As Long Shenke stood there, he was like a dominant true dragon that caused changes in the weather.
A youth who wore a purple robe that had Taiji Diagram patterns on them and a flame logo on his sleeves appeared behind him.
This youth didn't appear as bold and free as the other Inferno Precipice disciples. He wasn't like a burning flame, but he still gave a sense of warmth. He was Duan Muhong.
Duan Muhong bowed to Long Shenke, "Elder, the distortion of space and flow of spiritual energy were caused by the conflicts in the Spirit Sea?"
He was very respectful towards Long Shenke not just because Long Shenke was a Mahayana level magic treasure. It was also because he was a magic treasure that was personally cultivated by Lin Feng and was one of the earliest magic treasures of the sect.
Before the Holy Dragon Heavenly Armor was given to the Inferno Precipice, it followed Lin Feng's Avatar of Ares. It was a magic treasure that had followed Lin Feng for a long time.
Long Shenke didn't turn back and continued to look towards void space in the distance. He replied, "It's likely the case."
"Have the junior disciples returned to the sect in the Divine Lands?"
Duan Muhong nodded his head and replied, "Yes, those who are in the Nascent Soul Stage and below have returned to Mount Yujing."
Long Shenke nodded his head after hearing his reply, "That's good. Let's see whether the demons will come and attack us."
As he spoke, he furrowed his brows and a burning look appeared in his eyes as he peered faraway.
In the distance, the sky suddenly turned gloomy. As demonic aura engulfed, sunlight also dimmed. A frightening aura was targeted towards the Inferno Emperor City.
