Chapter 815: Shatter, Shatter! (1/2)
The nine stone statues marched out from the Seven-star Blue Sea like a vast and mighty army.
As they did, the eight stone statues surrounded the largest one like guards and servants.
Soon, they vanished from the Seven-star Blue Sea.
However, they continued to let out deafening calls, which seemed to form some kind of magnetic field that covered a large area around them. “Shatter... Shatter...”
The eight dead juniors’ true souls were still twisting on the eight stone statues’ faces, as if they were still not dead, but suffering incomparable pain.
The stone statue in the middle looked like a god. It had a human’s figure, but was hundreds of times larger.
Its face was blurry, with countless strands of blood-colored light wiggling on it.
The stone statues gradually approached a dead star.
By the dead star was berthed the Pure Heaven Sect’s ancient starship, on which quite a few Pure Heaven Sect disciples were stationed.
Those Qi warriors’ expressions flickered drastically upon seeing the stone statues coming near them, and hastily started the ancient starship and sailed away at full speed.
However, the stone statues didn’t seem to pay any attention to their unusual movements. Instead, they continued to sail in their set direction.
With a speed much faster than most ancient starships, they shot past like a streak of lightning.
“Shatter... Shatter...” Carrying a mysterious force, their resounding calls spread to the star, which had been dead for a long time.
CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE!
The vast dead star seemed to be cut by numerous invisible sharp blades as it fell apart at a rate that was visible to the naked eye.
RUMBLE!
The dead star suddenly exploded into countless pieces of different sizes.
The powerful shockwave sent some of the pieces shooting into the distance, turning them into falling stars that were commonly seen in the void. Who knew where they would fly and eventually crash?
The Pure Heaven Sect Qi warriors on that ancient starship were overwhelmed with fear as they saw the dead star exploding in such a peculiar manner, as if they had seen ghosts in broad daylight.
Now, they wondered what would happen to them if they hadn’t evacuated at the first possible moment, but been reached by those statues’ blasting calls.
Even if their bodies hadn’t been shattered by the calls, the dashing pieces created by the exploding dead star would have most likely killed them.
They were still in a state of shock as they watched the stone statues fly farther and farther away. They didn’t make a sound long after they vanished from their sight.
The stone statues, however, didn’t pay attention to them at all as they sped away, sending out resounding calls.
After some time, Zhou Shang and the other Void domain experts arrived at the area where the dead star had exploded.
Spinning pieces from the dead star could be seen everywhere.
The Pure Heaven Sect’s ancient starship was in the distance, shifting between locations to avoid the large pieces.
A hint of blood could be seen at the corner of Yue Yanxi’s reddened face as he said, “From the look of it, they don’t intend to start a massacre in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries.”
Each and every Void domain expert looked in sore straits, as they all seemed to have suffered injuries to differing extents.
All of their injuries had been caused by the eight stone statues’ call of the word ‘Shatter’ when the ninth stone statue had risen out of the Seven-star Blue Sea.
Their calls seemed to carry the profound truths of the word ‘Shatter’, which were so powerful that they had nearly burst the experts’ private domains.
However, the stone statues hadn’t followed their victory with pursuit, as if they hadn’t been interested in destroying the experts’ private domains and slaughtering them.
Instead, they had only called ‘Shatter’ repeatedly as they flew away in their set direction like they were searching for something.
Dou Tengshan from the Beast-controlling Sect was crouching on the back of a large bird with golden feathers, as if he was healing himself with the bird’s flesh aura.
“The ninth stone statue is far too powerful,” he said. “I think it’s safe to say that no one throughout the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries can beat that ninth stone statue in battle.
“Even if Patriarch Pure Heaven came here himself, he wouldn’t be able to stop it either.”
As an elder of the Pure Heaven Sect, Zhou Shang wouldn’t have allowed anyone to belittle Patriarch Pure Heaven if it were before.
But now, he remained silent after hearing Dou Tengshan’s words.
The eight smaller stone statues’ calls with the word ‘Shatter’ alone had almost shattered their private domains. This was the kind of strength even Patriarchs didn’t have.
The ninth stone statue, which the other eight treated as their leader or master, would be more powerful than Patriarch Pure Heaven. This was beyond doubt.
He knew that everything Dou Tengshan had just said was true.
Yue Yanxi wet his lips, and said with slight pain and difficulty, “Luckily for us, they don’t seem to have any interest in fighting us or taking the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries. Even though we don’t know where those stone statues came from, I have a feeling that they’re heading towards the Shatter Battlefield.
“Those powerful calls they sent out seemed to carry some profound force that can help them find their way.
“The way I see it, they must have their unique method to enter the Shatter Battlefield.”
Taken aback, Zhou Shang asked, “The Shatter Battlefield is their destination?”
