14 Nethersky Divine World (1/2)
Chapter 1526: Nethersky Divine World
”Be careful!”
The middle-aged scholar exclaimed. He could sense the terrifying energies contained within the black star. At the instant the explosion happened, the world went silent. The mist that blanketed the Frost Ice Sandsea's sky perennially was swept away by the terrifying energies. The skies turned clear for thousands of kilometers out!
Even the black winds that filled the Frost Ice Sandsea all year round were blown away by the terrifying energy surge!
”Everyone come near me! Don't go far! Thousand Ice Array!” The middle-aged scholar shouted.
He expended his vital potential and, in a second, condensed infinite black ice crystals around his body, forming a huge crystal barrier in front of him! His strength increased by more than ten times!
”Ka-cha!”
The middle-aged scholar expended his strength to keep the barrier up while withstanding the blast, but it began to shatter. Infinite fine cracks began to appear on its surface!
”Puah!”
The middle-aged scholar spat out a mouthful of blood as his entire person knelt down on the ground.
He held himself up with both hands, his eyes filled with blood strands. He heaved heavily. Heavens, what sort of power was this? He was only withstanding a tiny aftershock from an explosion five hundred kilometers away. It was such a terrifying blast! It felt like the Apocalypse.
”Martial Uncle! Are you alright!? Martial Uncle!”
All the young disciples present ran over and helped him up. The eyes of a girl dressed in pale yellow clothes were welling with tears. Although she was young and had a weak cultivation level, she knew that those few seconds had damaged the middle-aged scholar greatly. If he did not encounter any huge opportunities, he would probably never make a breakthrough to the next realm.
He had given it up to protect them. If he had been alone, he would not have suffered so much.
”Martial Uncle, quickly dispel the barrier. The black winds are gone!” a young man said hurriedly.
As the black winds had been swept away by the blast, there was indeed no need for them to use the barrier. But now, they were situated very far from Frost Sand Valley. Typically, their trials were led by an Elder. Now that their Martial Uncle who was leading them was so heavily injured, how were they to return?
”What was that thing!?”
As the young man spoke, he looked into the distance with both horror and bafflement. He saw that most of the vast icy sand had melted as a result of the huge explosion. From afar, he could see a stormy sea.
The Frost Ice Sandsea which had been still for ten thousand years had turned into this?
Could it be that it was the appearance of some rare treasure? But in this present situation, were they able to seek it even if there was one?
”Return… We return to the valley! Quick! These icy sand storms have only been temporarily blown away by the blast… They will reform sooner or later… If that happens, we will not be able to escape…”
The middle-aged scholar struggled to speak. And at that moment, he could already see a blurry gray fog forming far into the horizon. The gray fog looked like a horde of locusts that was swarming towards them.
It was the Frost Ice Sandsea's black winds making a resurgence.
”We are doomed…”
The middle-aged scholar smiled wryly. In his present situation, how was he to continue protecting these juniors?
”Martial Uncle, I'll carry you!”
The young man carried the middle-aged scholar. The other disciples rushed over as they hurriedly raised a barrier. However, when they saw the black winds surge over, together with thunderous rumbling, the expressions on their faces changed.
The might of the black winds was far stronger than before!
The black winds prior to this had turned violent because of the injection of spatial storm's energies. And now, the black winds had been compressed by the explosion's blast, concentrated into a deadly force. It contained the explosion's energy and was now releasing all the explosions energy. It was a roaring tsunami, and they were like simple boats in the line of that tsunami!
”Frost Sand Valley, Thousand Ice Array!”
Although they were in a perilous situation, the young man roared again. He expended his vital potential and barely raised up an ice crystal barrier, but at that moment, something inexplicable happened. The roaring black winds seemed to have a mind of their own, splitting up and going around them. It was as though a wall had been erected, causing the black winds to make way for the Frost Sand Valley disciples.
”What's going on?”
The young man, who had expended his potential and planned to risk his life to use the Thousand Ice Array again, had already gathered his energy. He was about to release it, as if he had raised a giant hammer that was beyond his strength to carry. By not being able to deliver the strike, he immediately knelt down to the ground.
