A Year of Great Undertakings - Book 6, Chapter 83: Targe (1/2)

Because the sky was dark, the soldiers of Owl Country’s vision was liroup of cultivators flying across the night sky They had no idea how many cultivators there were, but they could tell that these flying cultivators loomed over thehty, and solemn aura bore down on the soldiers below

One of the cultivators flying overhead glanced down at the ground as he flew by

This casual glance caused the soldiers to feel as if a ferocious beast had laid its eyes upon thein Qi Scholar can actually possess that h the soldier was quite weak, he had a decent aainst the Astrals, he was actually quite familiar with consciousness power

“Lower your head and shut your mouth!” one of the nearby officers hissed at hi cultivators were, their sheer number made it abundantly clear that it was not the cole one of those flying Origin Qi Scholars wastheroup of those ht Shaking Realm cultivators were there exactly?

Why was there still no end to them?

The soldiers watched on from below, all dumbfounded

Was this an illusion technique?

Was it even appropriate to call all these Origin Qi Scholars experts? With so many of them here, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to refer to them as ordinary?

As the procession continued overhead, the soldiers’ amazement reached a point where it could increase no further

They were not just ordinary — they were basically cabbages!

Finally, all of the “cabbages” finished passing by overhead

The night returned to its silent, peaceful state, but the soldiers were all in a quiet daze

After a long ti is about to happen!”

“Then what should we do, Commander?” solared “What should we do? What do you think we can do? Eat, sleep, and repeat!”

“Past Demonic Wind Altar is Old Crow’s Nest And past that is the Scorched Lightning Region,” Lin Shaoxuan said to Su Chen

The Scprched Lightning Region was another forbidden no- and fire, turning it into a region of death Even Ultimate Emperor Realh there

“That place is too dangerous to travel through, so it leaves us with o around it, which will take us a nuround, but there are eighteen different entrances and quite a few erous, and there are also Astrals hiding down there that we ainst Sect Master, what should we……” Lin Shaoxuan turned to glance at Su Chen

Su Chen calhter the Astrals, so let’s just charge right on through”

“Hey, we came here to take the Immortal’s Soul,” Lin Shaoxuan re the Astrals, the Immortal’s Soul will naturally fall into our hands”

Unlike the Oceanids, Su Chen only held a single attitude towards the Astrals: slaughter theainst the Astrals was partly due to their vastly different physiques The Astrals had given their consciousness physical for them a kind of spiritual entity at their core This was a vast departure fro creature with a natural body of flesh and blood; in some sense, they were actually even more distinct from humans than the Beasts

As such, ent Races

Actually, this was mostly due to how the Astrals preferred to carry out their objectives They always hid in the dark, utilizing their ability to manipulate other creatures to accos from behind the scenes

Typically, most people viewed the Astrals with a healthy ahosts, always leaving behind a shadow in the hearts of men

Su Chen had encountered the Astrals a total of three times The first had been at Clear River, where he had personally met a human who had been enslaved by an Astral The second was on Forever Clear Island, where an Astral had infiltrated the ranks of the Boundless Sect and was planning on stirring up trouble The third hen he ht up lied to his face multiple tis towards the Astrals

More ih that they didn’t need to rely on negotiations to successfully get what they wanted

They wanted the Immortal’s Soul?

Easy

They just needed to kill all of the Astrals and take it

This was Su Chen’s thought process and his boldness More i like that

This wasn’t only because of the Boundless Sect’s strength; it was also due to Su Chen’s powerful research prowess He held the unique advantage of being able to develop a technique that specifically targeted his opponents’ weaknesses

Why had the Oceanids placed so much trust in Su Chen? It was because they were confident that Su Chen could develop soainst the Deep Sea Sorrow And Su Chen had in fact done precisely that — without his special medicine, the Boundless Sect wouldn’t have been able to withstand the attacks of hundreds of Sovereigns

And now that Su Chen was planning on dealing with the Astrals, it was only natural that he would develop a counter to theed to develop a prototype all the way back on Forever Clear Island Any Astrals who approached their base would be immediately discovered However, because Su Chen’s primary focus at the time had been the Deep Sea Sorrow, he hadn’t treated the Astrals as a real threat

But after the Abyss was destroyed, it was now tihtening ability was consciousness enslavement, which allowed theent lifeform and use them as they saw fit

However, consciousness enslaveet’s consciousness Su Chen’s consciousness was so powerful that he was impossible to enslave Zhu Xianyao and anybody proficient in similar techniques were also impossible to enslave

Even so, the Astrals often had a wide range of targets to pick fro considered nightmares

As a result, Su Chen had chosen to focus on this area for his research
