Chapter 1337: Destination: First Heaven! (2/2)
1,000 little suns, absorbing Heaven and Earth, sucking in all the light of the starry sky. They rapidly grew larger and more dazzling, until Meng Hao himself actually looked like a sun!
Majestic light shone out, to the point where the cultivators of the Third and Fifth Mountains and Seas could look up into the sky and see a new sun!
The cultivators in the Third Mountain and Sea were in the midst of fighting the Outsiders, and yet everyone looked up in shock.
“What’s that...?”
“A sun? That’s not possible. But it really does look like an actual sun or moon....”
At the same time, cultivators in the Fifth Mountain and Sea looked up and gasped in disbelief.
“Wait, no.... there’s a person inside!!”
“Impossible!”
The Outsiders were equally taken aback.
Up in the starry sky, down beneath the 1st Heaven, Meng Hao was surrounded by 1,000 spheres of light. His expression was one of unswerving determination as he came to the conclusion that 1,000 little suns wasn’t enough. He needed more. He threw his head back and roared, pushing onward with greater speed and yet simultaneously waving his hand, causing another 1,000 little suns to appear!
2,000 little suns were shining radiantly. They were now densely packed together, each one of them emanating blinding light. However, from a distance away, the light of those 2,000 small suns merged together... to make them look like the glow of one enormous sun!
Rumbling sounds echoed out as the 2,000 little suns swirled around Meng Hao. He flew higher and higher, away from the Mountain and Sea Realm, growing ever closer to the 1st Heaven. Soon, the cultivators in the Second and Sixth Mountains and Seas could see the brightly shining sun up above.
Although it currently looked like little more than a dot of light, within the pitch blackness, it was extremely conspicuous!
In the Second Mountain and Sea, the cultivators and Outsiders were fighting a particularly bloody battle, and the reek of gore had permeated the entire Mountain and Sea. The vast army of cultivators had suffered setback after setback, and the roars of the Outsiders filled the entire starry sky above them.
However, even as despair wrought at the hearts of the cultivators, in the moment when they had no hope, and were bitterly convinced that they were going to lose the battle, all of a sudden, a bright dot of light appeared up above. That light became the only thing the cultivators of the Second Mountain and Sea looked at.
“That’s...”
“That dot of light. Heavens! Considering how far away we are, that dot of light must actually be enormous!”
“What's going on...?” The cultivators of the Second Mountain and Sea were completely abuzz!
Although they couldn't actually see Meng Hao, somehow they could all sense that within that light was someone emanating an incredible willpower, and utter determination!
The Sixth Mountain and Sea was equally in an uproar.
“That light is heading in the direction of... the 1st Heaven!!”
“Considering how far it is away, the fact that we can see it moving up means that its true speed... must be mind-boggling!!”
Although the Lord of the Sixth Mountain and Sea had been killed, the violet-robed Lord Wu of the Fifth Mountain and Sea was now fighting in the battle, and at long last, the cultivators were able to launch successful counter-attacks against the Outsiders.
Lord Wu was the first one to look up into the starry sky. His jaw dropped, and he instantly began to tremble.
“It's him.... He’s going... to destroy the 1st Heaven?” His eyes began to shine, and suddenly a surge of indescribable excitement rose up within him.
Soon the other cultivators of the Sixth Mountain and Sea caught sight of the light up above, and they were completely shaken. Although not everyone could immediately discern where that dot of light was heading, people quickly began to deduce the truth.
“He’s heading toward the 1st Heaven?”
Even as the cultivators in the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Mountains and Seas were staring fixedly at the dot of light, it suddenly grew twice as bright as before!!
Along with the eruption of brightness, the light also grew in size. That was because the number of little suns surrounding Meng Hao had increased from 2,000 to 4,000!
“There’s a person inside that light!!” By now, virtually all of the experts in the great Mountains and Seas were able to discern what was happening. Their hoarse exclamations were heard by those around them, and soon everyone's minds were spinning.
It was at this point that the cultivators in even further Mountains and Seas could see that high up above the Nine Mountains and Seas, there in the starry sky... was a sun!
Although it wasn’t the true sun, by now, everyone could see it....
A sun above the Mountain and Sea Realm!
In the Seventh Mountain and Sea, Yuwen Jian suddenly opened his eyes. He had been sitting there in meditation, but when he heard the exclamations ringing out, he looked up into the sky and then suddenly felt as if he were being struck by lightning.
He couldn’t quite see who it was inside that light, but… his intuition told him exactly who it was! “It's Meng Hao. It's definitely him! He’s going to lift the spirits of an entire people by destroying the 1st Heaven!!”
Shaking, he shot to his feet, panting excitedly, eyes burning with anticipation.
