Chapter 541: Stonemen
The huge, pale-gray rock seemed as if it had plunged into the earth from the depths of the void, leaving only a third of it aboveground.
Standing by the rock, Ye Qin from the Yin Sect and Chen Hao from the Yang Sect were waving their hands, directing their fellow disciples to cut the rock open to search for the veins of spiritual materials within it.
CRACKLE! CRACKLE!
As broken pieces kept rolling down the rock, beams of blindingly bright spiritual light suddenly shot out of the cracks in the stone.
At the same time, intense spatial energy fluctuations spread out from within the rock, which astonished the Greater Heaven Qi warriors from the Yin Sect and the Yang Sect.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely rich life force was born within the rock, which seemed as if it could explode at any moment.
Bewildered, all of the Yin Sect and Yang Sect disciples froze.
CRACK!
A surge of raging energy suddenly burst forth from within the rock, causing the huge rock to break up and explode.
As it did, a pentagonal, triple-layer spell formation that looked like a teleportation portal emerged from the flying rubble and dust.
Extremely pure spirit stones were laid on the bottom deck of the spell formation, spirit jades filled the middle deck, and the top deck was paved with Space Spirit Jades, which were essential materials to build teleportation portals.
After emerging from the exploded rock, the teleportation portal floated quietly in the air, where it continued to emanate dazzling spiritual light, along with intense spatial energy fluctuations.
Before long, the blurry shapes of mysterious, tall beings appeared in the middle of the top layer of the spell formation, and rapidly grew clearer and clearer.
Chen Hao from the Yang Sect was the first to realize what was going on. He snapped out of his bewilderment and exclaimed, “This is not some vein of spiritual materials, but one of the outsider teleportation portals! Destroy it!”
In a split second, his eyes seemed to turn into two burning suns.
One Sunfire Pearl after another, which were filled with concentrated flame power from the sun, shot towards the outsider’s teleportation portal, along with fierce, blazing auras.
BANG! BANG!
The Sunfire Pearls exploded, filling the air with flames, which soon engulfed the whole teleportation portal.
However, the blurry shapes within it seemed unaffected, and continued to grow clearer with every passing second. Not only that, but the tallest of them slowly walked out of the spell formation to the edge of the portal.
Upon seeing this, the other Yin Sect and Yang Sect Qi warriors exerted their means to bombard the mysterious teleportation portal using their most exquisite incantations and most advanced spiritual tools.
However, all of their attacks were redirected by intense spatial fluctuations and deviated from their target before they could cause a shred of damage to the teleportation portal.
The teleportation portal continued to float in the air, spinning slowly and operating perfectly.
Soon, the shape of the tall being that was the first to step out of the teleportation portal finally finished teleporting from some unknown realm and stood before the crowd.
It was a male outsider that was nearly two meters tall, incomparably muscular, and had stony, grayish-brown skin.
After he saw the Yin Sect and Yang Sect disciples, confusion appeared in the depths of his pupils, which were the same color as his skin. Then, in a language no one understood, he muttered, “I can’t believe it’s a bunch of humans...”
With these words, he jumped out of the portal and landed heavily on the ground.
As he wove his hands in the air, numerous rocks that were scattered in the vicinity seemed to answer the summons of his unique bloodline power, and became his weapons.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Rocks that weighed tons were channeled into the air, where they slammed into the spiritual tools of the Yin Sect and Yang Sect Qi warriors’.
After being bombarded by large rocks, their spiritual tools suddenly became uncontrollable and fell from the air like raindrops.
As this happened, the seemingly ancient and dilapidated teleportation portal floating behind the outsider kept working. More and more tall figures gradually became recognizable as they finished their teleportation to this realm.
Just like the first one to arrive, all of the new arrivals also had rocky, solid skin.
Even though they didn’t wear any spiritual armor, their bodies were the shield they could use to contend against their enemies.
Like rock statues, they leapt out of the teleportation portal one after another and landed heavily on the ground. The strong impact even created noticeable cracks on the solid ground as they did.
Each and every one of them gazed up into the sky and cheered in their language, excitement and joy brimming their eyes.
“Our ancestral land... We’re finally back!”
“I can’t believe that we’ve finally come back to our ancestral land after all these years!”
All of them were gazing up into the misty, gray sky, as if the vast continent above that boundless gray mist used to be their beloved homeland until it had been destroyed thousands of years ago.
