Chapter 215: Chapter 157: Alien Creatures, Burial of the Empty Realm

The current state of the Cangyun Realm had already begun to exhibit some signs of chaos.Many Loose Cultivators as well as medium and small Sects were aligning themselves with the major Holy Lands or large Immortal Sects.

Only these Holy Lands, which had been established for ten thousand years, possessed sufficiently powerful Formations capable of resisting external enemies.

If the battlefield at the other end of the spatial gateway were to spiral out of control, the various Holy Lands and Immortal Sects could still rely on their grand Formations and draw on their internal reserves to hold out for a while.

Regarding this, the major Holy Lands and many Sects possessing grand Formations did not refuse; they did not feel very confident about the battle, and having more Cultivators to maintain the Formation was a good thing.

To save time, Chu Zheng utilized the Star-shatter Shuttle. Following the directions given by Fu Quanliang, he traveled rapidly and arrived at the Rift Valley Sea in less than a day.

This place was swarming with the Sea Clan, and the deep sea hid many giant demons, who did not consider themselves part of the Demon Race and mostly had low intelligence, having little involvement with either humans or demons.

After delving into the Rift Valley Sea for more than two million miles, Chu Zheng discovered a Flying Boat flying the Song Clan's battle flag.

Chu Zheng did not conceal his presence and directly stepped onto the Flying Boat.

There were only two members of the Song Clan on the Flying Boat, sibling brothers, both in their early twenties and looking remarkably similar. Both were Cultivators of the Soul Condensation Realm, named Song Pingshan and Song Pinghai.

When traveling to the Southern Region, the Song Clan members always took the same route to ensure their safety, to prevent any anomalies.

It was indeed these two who, while crossing the Rift Valley Sea with their clan, noticed abnormalities in the space and after several confirmations, finally verified the aura of the spatial gateway.

This news had not yet spread widely, and currently, only a few members of the Song Clan, along with Fu Quanliang and Chu Zheng, were aware of it.

Now, with no Elder of the Song Clan present in the realm, the only person they could truly rely on was Chu Zheng.

"How has the situation been these few days?" Chu Zheng activated his Spiritual Eye and scanned the surrounding void, quickly spotting a crack thousands of miles away.

However, due to the distance, the panel could not provide any information.

"Saint Heir, we haven't approached too closely. As of now, we haven't detected any beings from the Alien Realm. The spatial gateway seems to have not completely opened yet," Song Pingshan respectfully replied. "However, based on the aura projected in space these past few days, the fluctuations from this spatial gateway have grown stronger by the day."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng's brow slightly furrowed, and he immediately left the Flying Boat, heading toward the direction of the spatial gateway.

A distance of several thousand miles was covered in an instant.

As he drew closer, the entire appearance of the spatial gateway came into Chu Zheng's view, spanning not more than a few dozen miles.

Compared to the spatial gateway at the border of the Northern and Southern Regions, the one before him was undoubtedly much smaller.

Information from the panel quickly entered Chu Zheng's mind.

[Spatial Gateway (Sixth Order): A temporarily established spatial gateway, not stable, estimated to need about two more months to fully open. It can only accommodate beings of about Sixth Order, and there is a risk of collapse. (Detail)]

[Detailed Information: The spatial gateway faintly exudes demonic aura. The being that opened the gateway likely belongs to the Demon Race with a ninety percent probability.]

Demon Race...

Looking at the information provided by the panel, Chu Zheng fell into contemplation. The spatial gateway still had two months before it would be fully operational, leaving him not much time.

Logically, the Demon Race was considered an affiliate group of the Immortal Alliance. Why would they initiate such an action at this critical juncture?

Or could it be that the Demon Race in the Great Universe, like the Human Race, also had divisions within it?

Chu Zheng did not ponder this further; it would only be a waste of time. He could not afford to waste the two months of preparation time.

He immediately sent a message, ordering the Song brothers to head to the Southern Region as quickly as possible, to disseminate the news and notify all major Holy Lands to initiate their defensive Formations.

Having confirmed the level of this spatial gateway, Chu Zheng immediately dismissed the idea of gathering more people.

Facing beings of Fifth Order up to Sixth Order, Soul Condensation Cultivators, no matter how many, would simply be sending themselves to death; it was completely unnecessary to attempt this.

If dealing only with Sixth Order, the Lihuo Spear could still manage to cope somewhat.

What he could do now was to prepare the Sword Array in advance to see what kind of being would emerge from the other end of the spatial gateway and then rely on the Lihuo Spear to strike them back.

Afterward, he would retreat to Taixuan, holding out with the Formation and waiting for news from the battlefield on Geng Yiyang's side.

If it came to it, he would have to consider the last resort Geng Yiyang had prepared for Taixuan.

The stars were profoundly unpredictable, and with his current level of Cultivation, Chu Zheng genuinely felt unconfident about facing the myriad unpredictable elements of the universe.

With changes on the scale of stars occurring frequently in the universe, a slight misstep could lead to his death en route, turning into unremarkable cosmic debris.

By then, the Cangyun Realm might no longer exist, and no one would remember that he had once been there, nor would anyone know who he was.

This outcome was unacceptable to Chu Zheng.

After a moment of reflection, Chu Zheng, using the Five Elements directions, concealed the gathered Heavenly Aura Swords into the void, actively plunged into the deep sea, and began hunting Sea Demons.

The only method he could think of to quickly enhance his physical strength was the Slaughter Blood Descending Dragon Technique, which he had acquired from the Xuan Tian Martial Barrier.

[Slaughter Blood Descending Dragon Technique (Sixth Order): A Martial Dao Divine Ability that consumes demons to supplement oneself, accumulates Blood Fiend for Body Refinement, and upon reaching complete mastery, one can capture dragons with a single hand.]

He had never had the time to practice this Divine Ability since acquiring it, and now, he finally had the opportunity. Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
