Everlasting Chapter 111: Surrounded (1/2)
The two purple-clothed figures floated silently in the sky as they chatted. Occasionally some cultivators would fly past them. Strangely enough, none of them noticed the two purple-clothed figures. They were practically empty air to the cultivators.
”These cultivators are too weak. I can kill off ten who are on the same level as me.” One of them, a youngster with a slightly devilish and purple-coloured face licked his tongue with a smile. His eyes glowed with a faint purple hue. A detailed look revealed that the two figures did not have any pupils on their eyes. There was only the colour of faint purple on their eyes.
”Don't be reckless. There are still experts here. Right now, I am concerned whether the immortal dao sects can break open this Driftcloud Immortal Mountain. If they can break a hole, we will be able to enter.” The other purple-clothed man appeared more mature.
”Just wait and see. There should not be an issue. Every time the Driftcloud Immortal Mountain appears, some cultivators will be able to enter. This time should be no exception. What I worry about is being unable to escape after entering. If we have to lose our lives inside, that would not be worth it.”
”Don't worry about that. Did you forget? We have the array map on us. With the array map, we will be like fish in water inside. We will certainly be capable of retrieving that item out.”
”I hope so.”
A dragon-like roar rang out to shock every corner of the place. Next, a forest of sword beams shot into the sky, causing the air to vibrate. The beams were seemingly desirous of tearing a hole in the sky.
Next, the rising sword beams abruptly turned to slash down upon the top part of the Driftcloud Immortal Mountain, seemingly wanting to directly cut the mountain down.
”The cultivators from Sword Hall have begun as well. The one attacking must surely be a cultivator at the Sky Human stage. I wonder. Will Immortal Humans appear?” said Ye Ziming with a smile.
”According to the old man, the stronger the attack, the more powerful the rebound. I think the chances of Immortal Humans appearing should be small,” said Chen Feng after a.n.a.lysing the matter.
”The attacks from sword cultivators are the strongest amongst all the cultivators. Now, let's see what Sword Hall has up their sleeves.” Ye Ziming smiled.
Bwong! Guang! Boom!
The power of the sword attack surpa.s.sed the ones unleashed by the Shadowless Skysoar Earthslip Shuttle. Although the sword beam failed to cut the mountain peak, it triggered a tidal wave-like ripple. The Driftcloud Immortal Light had s.h.i.+ned out once again. This time, the power behind its attack was even stronger. A tangible stream of light swept out towards the one who had launched the earlier attack.
”True Martial Slas.h.!.+” All the cultivators from Sword Hall bellowed out as sword beams with unparalleled sharpness shot forth. They wanted to cut the ray of Driftcloud Immortal Light into pieces.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
The sounds of sword beams shattering rang out as the overbearingly powerful cultivator from Sword Hall failed to stop the attack of the Driftcloud Immortal Light. He was struck by the Driftcloud Immortal Light and tears spread through his whole body. Blood flowed profusely from his body. If it were not for the a.s.sistance from his fellow sect members earlier, he would have ended up getting torn into pieces.
”Fellow cultivators from Sword Hall, let's join forces and attack.” A solemn voice suddenly rang out from the Shadowless Skysoar Earthslip Shuttle.
”Fine! Let's join forces to break this mountain!” The cultivators from Sword Hall knew that their strength alone was insufficient to break the Driftcloud Immortal Mountain.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Beam after beam of power bombarded the various corners of the Driftcloud Immortal Mountain as they attempted to find a flaw in the Driftcloud Immortal Light. The bombardment lasted for half a month. The cultivators from Sword Hall and Jade Talisman Sect had given their all, but the Driftcloud Immortal Mountain remained standing. They had failed to tear open even a needle-sized opening. Countless cultivators had also tried to jump in to attack in their search of immortal serendipity. Unfortunately, throughout the half month duration, the thousand plus cultivators hovering around Driftcloud Immortal Mountain ended up achieving nothing for their troubles.
Finally, cultivators from the other eight great immortal dao sects arrived. With the Ten Great Immortal Dao Sects gathered together, the power they possessed became incredibly high. However, they did not directly attack the Driftcloud Immortal Mountain. Instead, they gathered together and began discussing how to work together and concentrate their power for the sake of opening up a small hole.
While the Ten Great Immortal Dao Sects were calmly discussing the issue, the other loose cultivators and even the cultivators from some smaller sects kept besieging the Driftcloud Immortal Mountain. They bombarded it ceaselessly as they searched for a flaw.
…
Within a cool forest just beyond the Blackwind Marshes, Chen Feng, Ye Ziming and Lu Ta were seated before a stone table. There were some wine placed on the table and they would sip a few cups of wine from time to time. It almost appeared as though they were some young masters out on some leisurely trip.
”It's been half a month now. I can't wait anymore. Let's just leave. Staying behind is useless.” After saying that, Lu Ta gulped down the wine within his wine cup.
”No rush. Can't you see that Nine Firmaments Palace and the other immortal dao sects have arrived? Now is when things will get merry. At any rate, we don't have much to do right now. Might as well stay here and take part in this,” said Ye Ziming with a smile as he held up his own cup of wine.
”It's too chaotic here. I keep getting this uneasy feeling; it feels as though something is about to happen,” said Chen Feng after a moment of silence.
”I am also getting that feeling. It seems some people have set their sights on us. There are indeed quite a number of cultivators around, but I cannot sense anyone harbouring ill intentions towards us,” said Ye Ziming as he looked around.
Although the stretch of forest they were in was not too large, the vegetation there flourished and the air was fresh. Compared to the chaotic Blackwind Marshes, some cultivators preferred settling within the forest.
”Someone is rus.h.i.+ng towards us,” Chen Feng suddenly whispered out.
”Ha ha ha ha! I did not expect to meet you three here!” Even before the figure arrived, the mighty soundwaves had descended upon them.
