Chapter 954: The Sharpest Weapon (1/2)
In the Realm of Maelstrom...
Saint domain, Void domain, and Soul realm experts from the Domain of Heaven Python, the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, and the Domain of the Falling Stars were now gathered in this realm.
They had already waited here for quite some time.
The exploration of a brand new domain had lit the passion of every major sect in these three domains. Even those who had practiced secluded cultivation year-round had ended their secluded cultivation ahead of time just to join this expedition.
Huang Jinnan’s enormous golden starship was still berthed by a huge spatial rift in the watery curtain high in the sky.
Jing Feiyang flew over once again to ask Huang Yan in an earnest manner, “When will we march into that domain, Brother Huang?”
“They haven’t returned yet,” The late Void domain Huang Yan said with a warm smile. “But it’s about time that they returned.”
After a moment of pondering, he added, “How about this: I’ll teleport over there to ask them about it?”
Jing Feiyang clasped his hands. “That’d be great. Many thanks!”
The experts from the Divine Seal Sect, the Thousandsword Mountain Sect, the Golden Vast Sect, and the other sects were getting somewhat impatient from the long wait.
He was afraid that everyone’s passion would wear off as time passed.
Huang Yan then walked into the main cabin. However, he rushed back out in a few moments.
Looking very worried and anxious, he said, “Something has gone wrong!”
Quan Zixuan and Qu Mingde were waiting nearby. They overheard him, and flew over in a flash.
“What is it?” Qu Mingde asked, looking concerned.
Huang Yan seemed insecure and uneasy as he answered, “I couldn’t teleport to that domain because I couldn’t lock down the coordinates for the teleportation portal they had established there. There are only two possibilities. Someone has either turned off that teleportation portal, or destroyed it.
“They know that they need to keep that teleportation portal open at all times. There’s no way that they shut it down themselves.
“So I guess what happened is that the inhabitants of that domain destroyed that teleportation portal.”
Shocked expressions appeared on everyone’s faces.
Jing Feiyang took a deep breath and said, “That teleportation portal is of great importance. They must have arranged for powerful experts to guard it. From the look of it, they’ve run into trouble in that domain. And it must be some serious trouble. Otherwise, that teleportation portal should have been secured, at the very least.”
Huang Yan’s expression flickered. “Dammit! I’ve got to inform my sect of this. Our Divine Son and Divine Daughter are at stake. Should something happen to them, our sect’s vital energy would suffer. Even the foundation of our future would be shaken!”
With these words, he hastily flew into the spatial rift to report this newest information to the Five Elements Sect.
“Nie Tian is going to be okay, right?” Quan Zixuan asked, looking worried.
Jing Feiyang also looked worried as he said, “That’s the hope.”
“As the seventh Son of the Stars, he has just silenced the different voices in the three domains,” Qu Mingde said somewhat anxiously. “If he gets trapped in a foreign domain for a long time, it’ll definitely hurt the reputation he has just built up.”
In fact, he hadn’t cared this much about Nie Tian before joining him.
But now that he had attached the Golden Vast Sect to Nie Tian, this running war chariot, the future of the Golden Vast Sect had been bound with Nie Tian.
If Nie Tian grew stronger and his status in the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace rose, the Golden Vast Sect would benefit from his success.
Similarly, if Nie Tian got into trouble, all of his subordinate forces would be implicated.
Therefore, they definitely didn’t want anything to happen to him.
“There’s no need to worry,” Jing Feiyang said, trying to calm them. “Nie Tian is far stronger than you think, not to mention that he’s with a Divine Son and a Divine Daughter of the Five Elements Sect. After the Five Elements Sect learns about this, they’ll definitely think of every possible way to build another teleportation portal or sail directly to that domain.”
Only after hearing these words did Quan Zixuan and Qu Mingde feel slightly relieved.
In the unidentified domain...
The battle was still burning like a raging fire.
Even though the Lizardmen had the numbers, they weren’t as strong as their human equivalents individually.
The Saint and Void domain Qi warriors had exquisite incantations, domains with profound uses, Spirit Channeling grade spiritual tools, and medicinal pills that would allow them to recover their battle prowess within a short period of time.
As far as the development of civilizations, the Qi warriors from the Five Elements Sect had an absolute advantage over the local Lizardmen.
For this reason, even though the Qi warriors were outnumbered by the Lizardmen by a great margin, the two sides were actually evenly-matched.
