861 Unparalleled Fierceness and Migh (2/2)
These gods were confronting each other, and the gods of River Tomb Academy were being overwhelmed by them; it was a huge blow to the morale of those in River Tomb Academy.
Some of the scholars in River Tomb Academy were also looking dejected, perhaps due to the blockade of the half-gods from the northern heavens. They had also lost more than they won against them, so their morale was on the decline.
On the basis of divine arts, these scholars were naturally exceptional, but there was too wide a difference in innate advantage. As a result, it would be difficult for the scholars of the human race to win when they fought in the same realm.
Geniuses like Qin Mu, Xu Shenghua, and Zhe Huali, who walked at the forefront of their era and led the advancements of the era, wouldn't be able to sense the gap between the human race and the half-gods. However, to the other divine arts practitioners, this difference was only too apparent.
Moreover, River Tomb Academy had sent a scholar from the academy to go up against the cream of the crop from the hundreds of heavens from the north!
One could only imagine how much stress the River Tomb Academy was put under.
Qin Mu's heart wavered slightly, and he walked towards the River Tomb Academy.
Beside him, the river slowly rose up, and portions of water floated in the air, rising higher and higher. Gradually, the river surface that was almost a dozen miles wide had flown up and floated into the air.
Before River Tomb Academy, the River Tomb scholars and the northern heavens half-gods, gods, and devils all raised their heads up to look towards the magnificent sight before their eyes with dazed expressions.
The Gold River had flown into the air, and within the river were numerous enormous fish several yards in length that were swimming in the air; they were lifted up by an invisible force as they swam towards the air.
There were also sinister and fierce-looking river monsters and water demons who were now waving their limbs around, following the Gold River, and flying into the air.
The huge cargo ships that were sailing on the Gold River were now also flying in the air; they continued to sail on the river's surface, the pill furnaces in the boats were still in operation, the turbines still turning. The divine arts practitioners who guarded the ships all came to the side of the ships, sticking their heads out to look downwards; clearly, they also didn't know what had just happened.
The four-armed half-god and the academician who were in combat previously were also lifted up by this force. The two of them were rolled up by the force and rendered immobile. They could only watch as the force restrained them, and they floated on the river surface involuntarily.
The Gold River levitated at several hundred feet in the air, flying above the mountain peaks of the surrounding mountains of River Tomb Academy and to a distance of several miles beyond. It drew an arc in the sky and then finally returned to the river path of Gold River, continuing to surge forwards.
This sight made everyone feel their hearts palpitate.
”Is the god of Eternal Peace here?”
One of the gods from the heavens of the north raised his head to look at the sky, sneering. ”He has some abilities, but he's just a show-off.”
He retracted his gaze and looked forward. At the bottom of this breath-taking river, a youth was stepping on the air and walking towards River Tomb Academy in a leisurely manner.
Behind this youth was a dragon qilin and a water qilin, and there was another youth with a chubby face who was looking around curiously.
The sound of the waves and water flowing from the air could be heard distinctly.
Although the footsteps of the youth walking in the front were slow, his speed wasn't slow. As he walked towards River Tomb Academy, the skies suddenly darkened ominously, and it continued to grow even darker.
An imposing gate appeared behind the youth, growing more distinct. The huge gate of darkness then opened up, and the devil qi of Youdu surged outwards, dyeing the skies black.
”Disciples from the heavens of the north.”
The gate was like an enormous mouth that could swallow up heaven and earth, and from it came a blood-curdling voice that reverberated from heaven to earth. The sound waves crashed forwards, and the skin on the faces of the half-god divine arts practitioners from the northern heavens, who had stood at the front of the mountain gates, were creased up and blown backwards.
”There's not a single one who can fight!”
The sound waves surged forward again, everyone's hair flew about messily, and their clothes fluttered backwards.
A few half-gods with lower levels of cultivation couldn't hold their ground and were flung into the air by the sound waves, falling backwards like windmills.
The voice was filled with demonic aura, it was as if it could bring out the most terrifying feeling within one's heart. When the voice emerged, it made one feel like they had fallen into Youdu and were continuously sinking into the darkness!
The half-gods of the northern heavens were now sweating profusely, their legs trembling in fear.
Suddenly, the apparition disappeared, and the Gold River split into two streams and descended gradually, flowing by the two sides of the River Tomb Academy.
The darkness in the sky retreated in an instant and disappeared into the towering gate. The gate became faint and then disappeared completely. Very soon, the skies became bright again.
The youth had already reached the mountain gate before River Tomb Academy. He was all smiles, and he looked at the half-god divine arts practitioners by the mountain gate who had yet to recover from their shock with a small smile.
A half-god god with a radiance in his eyes looked at the youth and shouted with rage, ”A god coming here and inciting trouble, intimidating the divine arts practitioners from the heavens of the north, is this how Eternal Peace treats their guests?”
At this very moment, world-shaking laughter erupted from within River Tomb Academy. ”Scholars, follow me out of the academy to greet Eternal Peace's Overlord Body Qin!”
There was a commotion within the academy, and a white-haired old god with a radiant face led the thousands of scholars of River Tomb Academy out of the academy. The old god bowed, and his voice was like thunder, causing violent tremors in the Gold River as he said, ”Substitute Grand Chancellor of River Tomb, Duke Wei, along with the scholars, are here to welcome Eternal Peace's Overlord Body Qin's arrival!”
The voices of the thousands of scholars were even louder than Duke Wei as they cried out in a world-shaking voice, ”We welcome Eternal Peace's Overlord Body Qin's arrival!”
Everyone straightened up, and Duke Wei bowed again, smiling. ”Heavenly Saint Cult's Heavenly King Wei pays my respects to Cult Master Sacred Teacher!”
Qin Mu laughed out loud, holding onto his arms. His voice was a lot lower than Duke Wei's as he smiled and said, ”What Saint Woodcutter did, he didn't inform me of. That's why I have arrived a few days late. Duke, these few days must have inconvenienced you. From the heavens of the north, who are the ones who want to challenge me?”
Qin Mu looked around him, his gaze like lightning, and light emerged from his eyes. In this split second, the several miles around River Tomb Academy were lit up brightly. Only when Qin Mu retracted his gaze did everyone's vision return to normal.
There was a sea of silence, and only the sounds of heavy breathing and teeth clattering could be heard. Not a single half-god divine arts practitioner dared to speak up.
