BXBX NOVEL Chapter 473: Unfulfilled Love!
Chapter 473: Unfulfilled Love!
Shi Tianzi erupted once more. Divine light appeared on the surface of his body, forming mystical runes that circulated around his body.
Dazzling divine light flourished with mist. Endless divine force erupted, merging with heaven and earth.
He took a step forward, and the void shattered, causing the laws of the world to shatter.
“Brother Shen, I’m going all out!”
Shi Tianzi took a deep breath. His movements were like lightning, vigorous like a dragon.
It was as if a great star had fallen, its aura terrifyingly fierce!
A huge phenomenon of creation appeared behind him.
The power of Yin and Yang circulated and interweaved, finally forming an incomparably magnificent embryonic world!
Within it, the energy of earth, water, fire, and wind interweaved and coiled about. The laws of the Heavenly Dao crisscrossed, and it was like the world of chaos was pressing down!
Shi Tianzi swung his fist down. The fist light was like a desolate dragon rampaging down on Shen Tian.
This strike seemed to carry the power of heaven and earth, carrying endless divine might and the power to shatter mountains and rivers!
Shen Tian’s eyes narrowed. Endless starlight blossomed around him, drawing in the power of stars from outer space!
A terrifying avatar appeared behind him.
A dragon’s roar pierced the heavens, and a phoenix’s cry resonated in the air. Countless divine lights shot into the sky.
A pair of phoenix wings then appeared behind his back.
The phoenix wings were spread and created a hurricane!
Flames filled the sky and illuminated the world.
Shen Tian’s five fingers closed together, and multicolored mists surged, carrying a matchless aura and striking forward.
In an instant, the two of them collided.
In an instant, 1,352 Heavenly Divine Fists were blasted out, and the terrifying might seemed to cause heaven and the earth to collapse!
A vast expanse of space collapsed and caved in before shattering into ruins.
Space was obliterated while the laws fell into disorder.
Terrifying spatial turbulence swept out, swallowing the two of them.
However, they did not care. They continued fighting in the boundless space turbulence.
The surroundings flickered with dark light, and its might shook the heavens.
The pitch-black turbulence was terrifying, emitting a soul-stirring power.
Two figures interweaved continuously, colliding into dazzling divine light and illuminating heaven and earth.
Auspicious multicolored light was surging.
Shi Tianzi’s entire body shone as his dicoria appeared, and his Thearch Bone activated. He then erupted with astonishing power, simply about to shatter the heavens.
His aura was too domineering as if an unmatched deity was attacking the world, making all living beings bow down before him!
Space shattered, and stars fell with a wave of his hand, causing the laws of heaven and earth to tremble as if they were about to be completely severed and obliterated here.
On the other side, Shen Tian’s heroic appearance was matchless. His white clothes were otherworldly, fluttering in the wind, not tainted in the slightest. He stood in the chaotic space, as steady as Mount Tai. No matter how Shen Tianzi attacked, he would shatter the attack with a single fist!
The two continuously fought, every fist piercing through the void and shattering the heavens. Their auras were terrifying beyond understanding!
Even the turbulent space couldn’t withstand their power, and countless cracks appeared on it.
Terrifying black turbulence swept over 10,000 kilometers, terrifying to the extreme, containing tremendous power.
Everywhere it passed, everything was annihilated.
This battlefield was filled with world-destroying power. It was as if this entire world was going to be wiped out.
Just a casual punch could severely injure an ordinary True Sage and kill a Sage.
The terrifying clash would cause a Great Sage to feel as if their liver and gallbladder were about to split apart. Even Great Sages would tremble in fear!
The two of them fought without end, and they fought until heaven and earth dimmed in comparison. Their ferocious might seemed to pierce through heaven and earth.
The void around them exploded. Heaven and earth resonated and were destroyed into ruins.
The two of them were like unmatched deities, slaughtering their way into the nine heavens’ clouds, moving unhindered through the sea of clouds!
...
After a long time, a figure finally fell, retreating several tens of thousands of kilometers.
Every single step he took crushed space into powder, causing heaven and earth to resonate.
This person was none other than Shi Tianzi.
After exchanging nearly 10,000 blows with Shen Tian, he finally couldn’t resist and retreated in defeat.
Shi Tianzi’s breathing was heavy and chaotic. Traces of blood seeped out of his fist.
His hands were trembling, and the avatar behind him dimmed.
Shi Tianzi didn’t seem to mind. On the contrary, he was delighted.
At this time, Shen Tian’s white clothes fluttered, and he floated down. Not a single wound could be seen on his body, and even his aura was incomparably calm.
“Brother Tianzi’s battle prowess is indeed formidable!”
Shen Tian sighed. Given Shi Tianzi’s battle prowess, even some veteran Great Sages might not be his match.
Shi Tianzi, who had dicoria and possessed the Thearch Bone, had also grasped the Creation Divine Skill. He was destined to become unmatched, dominating the universe.
Shi Tianzi let out a bitter laugh when he heard Shen Tian’s words. “I’m still far inferior to Brother Shen! I lost this battle!”
Shi Tianzi was extremely shocked. Even if he used all his strength, he still couldn’t shake Shen Tian.
As their two fists collided, he felt as if he was striking the immortal metal from beyond the heavens. It was indestructible, making his hands go numb instead.
One had to know that he was a peak Six Tribulation True Sage while Shen Tian was only half a step away from transcending a tribulation.
If Shen Tian’s cultivation level was the same as his, he could probably destroy him with a flip of his hand.
Thinking of this, Shi Tianzi couldn’t help but sigh.
Brother Shen’s talent was indeed peerless. With such combat strength, he would definitely dominate the world and suppress all enemies!
Compared to him, the gap between them was simply too great.
However, Shi Tianzi seemed to see a glimmer of hope in Brother Shen.
He could be the one who had the strength to save this world.
With Brother Shen’s talent and battle strength, he will definitely bring hope to the five regions when he matures!
The five regions are saved!
...
Shi Tianzi stared fixedly at Shen Tian, the light in his eyes becoming increasingly bright and profound.
After a long while, he finally shook his head with a bitter smile. “Brother Shen, if you have time, then go and see that girl Linglong!
“When you disappeared, that girl started making a fuss. She was sad for many years.
“She even ran in front of the Imperial Lord, crying and making a fuss. She wanted the Imperial Lord to take action and bring you out!
“Fortunately, the girl calmed down when she learned that you were safe. Otherwise, the entire dynasty would be in chaos because of her!”
Shi Tianzi also had a helpless expression. He could already tell that Princess Linglong was lost in love with Shen Tian and couldn’t extricate herself.
However, she could not be blamed for this. After all, Brother Shen’s heroic bearing and charisma were unparalleled!
Even if he was a woman, he would also fall for Brother Shen’s unparalleled elegance!
However, she was still his favorite royal sister.
If he could fight for her, he would do his best to fight for her!
Shen Tian, “...”
He looked a little awkward and did not know what to say.
Why is there another marriage proposal!?
To be honest, I really didn’t do anything to them!
Why are so many people talking about marriage? I am very tired of this!
Seeing Shen Tian remain silent, Shi Tianzi sighed and shook his head. “The first time she met you in North Sea’s tomb, you already caused her to fall for you.
“Brother Shen, take care of yourself!”
Shi Tianzi then turned around and left, leaving Shen Tian alone with a blank expression.
After a long time, Shen Tian sighed and said, “This is a troublesome matter. We have to find a time to resolve it!”
When he thought of this, he also left, flying toward the outside world.
Copper Sparrow Pavilion...
At this moment, there were few people inside the Copper Sparrow Pavilion, and it was extremely quiet.
Because it was the recruitment period of Jixia Academy, most of the prodigies had rushed to Jixia Academy to register.
Thus, the Copper Sparrow Pavilion had temporarily become a little deserted.
Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this.
He had not thought of how to handle this matter yet. He needed more time.
As for Zhang Yunting and the others, they were still waiting at the Golden Phoenix Pavilion.
Everyone was overjoyed to see Shen Tian return.
Zhang Yunting stepped forward and asked, “Junior Brother, what did you do just now?”
Everyone was puzzled. They didn’t know why Shen Tian had left without saying anything.
Shen Tian paused for a moment and said, “Erm, the Imperial Lord had something to discuss with me just now. I had to go find him for a while first.”
He couldn’t possibly say that it was because of those brats!
Everyone nodded slightly without any doubt.
Zhang Yunting continued. “Junior Brother, Father sent a message just now, asking Junior Brother to return to the sacred ground as soon as possible to attend the sacred leader handover ceremony.”
Eighty years ago, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had already announced to the public that Shen Tian was the current Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
Now that Shen Tian had returned, there were still some procedures to go through although there wasn’t a Sacred Leader Succession Ceremony.
After all, the sacred leader handover process could not be settled in a few words.
Shen Tian nodded. “Let’s hurry back then!”
After not returning to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground for so many years, a trace of longing rose in Shen Tian’s heart.
This was his home after all, and it had always been of great help to him.
Thus, Shen Tian still had deep feelings for the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
“Alright, let’s set off now!”
Everyone answered before leaving the Copper Sparrow Pavilion together, rushing toward the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
A few days later, at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground...
Because the Evil Spirits from the outer realm had invaded the five regions and launched a full-scale attack, the great forces of the five regions had started to construct teleportation formations, which connected to each other.
When the Evil Spirit race invaded a certain place, the various large factions would be able to rush over to help as soon as possible.
This basically combined all the forces of the five regions into one.
With the help of various teleportation formations, it did not take long for everyone to rush back to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground from Middle Ground.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had changed greatly from 180 ago.
Walls rose from the outskirts of the sacred ground, surrounding and protecting the central grounds.
The walls towered into the clouds, looking majestic. The light lingered on them as they shone brightly, emitting a powerful spiritual pressure.
The walls were made of extremely precious Spirit Gold and were indestructible.
The walls of the city were engraved with gorgeous divine patterns that intertwined with each other, emitting a boundless aura.
These were formations that specialized in trapping and killing enemies. They were filled with a terrifying killing aura that enveloped the entire Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, making it impregnable.
Even Sages were unable to enter easily.
If one dared to force their way in, they would definitely be surrounded and killed by the countless formations.
Massive mechas were stationed at the back of the city walls. They were in charge of guarding the area and guarding against the invasion of the Evil Spirit army.
The mechas were shining with a metallic luster. They looked like giants that could hold up the sky and the earth.
Their auras were extremely powerful. Basically, every mecha was comparable to a Heavenly Venerable.
These mechas were Qin Yundi’s creations.
The mechas only needed one to reach the Golden Core stage to operate. Once they mastered using the mecha, they could erupt with power comparable to a Heavenly Venerable.
These mechas could also work together to form a battle formation, allowing them to unleash 10 or 100 times the power.
For example, this area was filled with hundreds of metallic White Tiger mechas. If they were to join forces, the power they could unleash could easily kill a Sage.
There were also many areas where different mechas were stationed—Green Dragon mechas, Vermilion Bird mechas, Black Tortoise mechas, etc.
These mechas of different attributes were used by disciples who cultivated different types of lightning.
Additionally, the previous problems with the mechas had basically been resolved. Furthermore, their power had also increased. They could now use military formations to fight their enemies.
If it was truly a matter of life and death, they could still combine thousands of mechas and construct the Lightning Beast Array.
At that time, even if they were faced with a Great Sage powerhouse, they would still have the strength to fight against them.
This was a terrifying thing.
How big was the gap between a Great Sage and a Golden Core or Nascent Soul cultivator?
This gap was simply so big that the weaker cultivators could be destroyed with a flick of a finger. Furthermore, a Great Sage could obliterate a large area of Golden Core cultivators as if they were ants in one go.
Let alone thousands of Golden Core cultivators, even tens of thousands or even a hundred thousand Golden Core cultivators would not be a match for a single Great Sage!
Their strengths were on completely different levels. No matter how many people there were, there was no way they could resist.
However, these cultivators could contend against a Great Sage with the help of some mechas.
One could see how terrifying the power of these mechas was.
...
Seeing this scene, Shen Tian couldn’t help sighing. “I didn’t expect the sacred ground to change so much after not returning for so many years!”
It could be said that given the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s defensive strength, it was definitely a peak existence in the Eastern Wilderness. It was strong enough to look down on all other factions nearby.
Even if the Evil Spirit race were to invade, it would not be that easy to breach this defensive formation.
Zhang Yunting smiled and explained, “Other than the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is probably the safest place in the five regions.”
At the same time, Zhang Yunting sighed in his heart.
It was all thanks to Junior Brother’s guidance that they could create such a strong foundation in such a short period.
Shen Tian had contributed greatly to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!
...
Everyone continued forward and soon arrived near the God of War Pagoda.
This place has changed dramatically.
The small town had already expanded into a huge city. It was grand and imposing.
This place was packed with people, and the atmosphere was extremely bustling.
Not only were there Divine Firmament disciples but there were also disciples from other factions and sacred grounds.
These people were all attracted by the God of War Pagoda and wanted to enter it to train and improve their strength.
Thus, it could be said that there were a lot of experts present.
Golden Core and Nascent Soul experts were everywhere, and there were also many Heavenly Venerables.
Zhang Yunting continued. “The God of War Pagoda is one of the main sources of revenue for the sacred ground.
“Numerous cultivators are coming here to train every day. They are all elite disciples of the various factions who have sufficient funds.
“Additionally, there are teleportation formations set up here to facilitate the passage of cultivators.”
Because the God of War Pagoda was located here, many people came in droves, wanting to enter the trial.
Therefore, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground could open up other establishments here.
For example, after one went to the God of War Pagoda and fought hard for a day, shouldn’t they come out for a meal, drink, and rest?
Therefore, they needed somewhere where they could get such services.
As such, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had long arranged all services there.
During one’s free time, one could relax here without traveling anywhere else.
These were all revenue sources for the sacred ground.
Furthermore, the teleportation formation also required a certain amount of Spirit Stones for one to use.
This was also a huge revenue source.
After all, the crowd here was unimaginably large.
There was also a series of tourist attractions, photography, and small local specialties... The sacred ground could make a fortune within minutes.
It was through the development of this service chain that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground could develop so rapidly, allowing it to have the money to forge so many mechas and city walls!
Shen Tian nodded slightly. He had expected this outcome.
Back when the God of War Pagoda was situated here, the reason the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had not wanted to split the revenue of the God of War Pagoda itself was because of the industrial chain’s development.
The speed of earning Spirit Stones was on par with the speed of the God of War Pagoda!
Shen Tian couldn’t help but sigh.
His Master was indeed his Master.
Indeed, it was useful to read more books!
...
At that moment, an extremely vast aura suddenly erupted above the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
Dazzling divine light swept over from all directions, illuminating the heavens.
Endless rain of light scattered down, surrounding heaven and earth.
Everyone looked over and saw a dozen figures walking over.
They rode on divine rainbows; their figures were ethereal, and their auras boundless. They were peak experts.
The surrounding cultivators were shocked since so many people appeared.
They hurriedly bowed and said respectfully, “Greetings, Grand Elders!”
These people were the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Grand Elders.
Of course, they were not the most senior elders, the Supreme Elders. They were Elder White Lotus, Elder Golden Lotus, Elder Crimson Lotus, and the other elders.
As 100 years had passed and the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had changed, their current generation of elders had taken the opportunity to be promoted to Grand Elders, and their status had greatly increased.
Moreover, given their strength, they could indeed hold the position of Grand Elder.
Elder White Lotus, Elder Golden Lotus, Elder Crimson Lotus, and the rest had all reached the True Sage level.
But that was not the main point.
In front of these supreme elders, there were two incomparably robust figures that stretched across the void, their might imposing and majestic!
One of them was covered in lightning. His aura was as vast as the ocean, unfathomable.
Just a trace of lightning that leaked out from his body was enough to shatter space.
This person stood in the void like a supreme monarch that wielded lightning. He could control endless lightning to destroy the world with a wave of his hand!
Beside this person was an old Taoist who wore a Violet Ribbon Immortal Robe, and he had a sage-like bearing.
He looked a bit old, but his body contained endless power, terrifying to the extreme.
Once his power erupted, it seemed as if he could overturn heaven and earth.
...
Upon seeing these two people, admiration and respect appeared on everyone’s faces.
These two people were the previous Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Zhang Longyuan, and Azure Lotus, Chu Longhe!
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was able to develop in such a manner only because of the two of them.
Only by continuously improving would a sacred ground with such a deep foundation appear.
As such, Zhang Longyuan and Chu Longhe’s prestige even surpassed that of many previous sacred leaders.
At this time, Zhang Longyuan and Chu Longhe appeared before Shen Tian.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader looked at Shen Tian as his body rippled with heavenly aura. “Tian’er, you’re finally back!”
Zhang Longyuan could sense that Shen Tian’s temperament had undergone a massive transformation as if he had been reborn.
There seemed to be some type of unmatched supreme treasure on his body, making his aura seem boundless and immeasurable.
...
Thinking of this, Zhang Longyuan couldn’t help but sigh.
After disappearing for so many years, he had indeed chanced upon another fortuitous opportunity!
If he became the sacred leader, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was destined to look down on the five regions!
Hehe~
