Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill-Chapter 572 - 12: Spatial Passage, Open!
Chapter 572 -12: Spatial Passage, Open!
Thirty years into the new era, due to the need to contend with the invasion from the Chaotic Realm, Wang Sheng, aside from handling some minor matters, had spent the majority of his time in cultivation.
Nearly seven years had passed, and many aspects had improved. Nevertheless, beyond the Undying Nirvana Body, there hadn’t been many qualitative changes.
Even so, his strength had still increased considerably.
Not to mention the Nirvana Body, which contributed the most to the surge in power. According to his own estimation, the Undying Nirvana Body alone had propelled him from a strong Eighth Realm contender to invincible within the Eighth Realm.
Besides the Undying Nirvana Body, there was the matter of cultivation realms.
His progress in the “Qi Refining God, Primordial Spirit” stage had reached over forty percent, nearing halfway. This halfway milestone alone had brought him a significant boost in strength, mainly manifested in the Five Elements Sword Formation, summoning winds and calling forth rains, and other areas.
As for the enhancement of Qi-Blood, naturally, it had benefited techniques like the Six Harmonies Spear and the Eight Extremes Fist.
There was also a variety of auxiliary knowledge and skills. Although they didn’t increase his strength, they were nonetheless very helpful.
These elements combined contributed significantly to the overall enhancement of his abilities.
Of course, this was his own assessment, referring only to realm cultivation. Real combat capability would still need to be tested in battle.
Real combat was always the best criterion for assessing true strength.
He believed himself invincible in the Eighth Realm, but without actual combat experience, it was merely a belief.
However, he would soon have the opportunity!
With these thoughts in mind, he suddenly asked, “How is the situation with the interdimensional gateway?”
These words were naturally addressed to the World Will.
The invasion was imminent, and the World Will had kept a close watch on the interdimensional gateway, maintaining tight communication with him so as to notify him at the earliest opportunity.
[The fluctuations at the interdimensional gateway are becoming increasingly distinct. It will definitely open within a year.]
“I’ll go take a look!”
Wang Sheng didn’t hesitate and immediately headed towards the location of the interdimensional gateway in the Extreme North.
Hundreds of miles away, Wang Sheng already felt an extremely powerful spatial fluctuation.
On his previous visits, he could only sense it when he was close to the gateway, but now he could detect it from this distance. Even without explanation, he understood the implication.
Sure enough, upon arrival, he saw that the gateway, which had previously been only slightly ajar, was now wide open. Only the rule chains bound around the circular portal were struggling to hold it back, but it seemed that even they wouldn’t last much longer.
“Once the chains break, it’s time for the Chaotic Realm’s invasion, right?”
[Correct. Once they break, it will be time to confront the enemy. The arrivals will be at least from the Eighth Realm, and considering the strength of the Chaotic Realm, there might even be Ninth Realm tactics involved. The pressure on you will be immense.]
The Planet Will was well aware that of all the adversities, only Wang Sheng was truly equipped to face this particular one.
But even it understood the difficulty of this situation.
“Eighth Realm… Ninth Realm…”
Wang Sheng said no more.
He wasn’t particularly afraid of beings from the Eighth Realm; it was the entities from the Ninth Realm he had to be most cautious of.
Once more, he glanced at the interdimensional gateway pulsating with powerful spatial fluctuations. This time, he had no intention of leaving. Instead, he planned to stay hidden at a distance, ready to strike a heavy blow to the incoming enemies.
The Eighth Realm, however many come, that many shall perish!
The Planet Will did not leave either. This moment would determine its very survival.
It knew full well that no world would spare it once discovered.
If other powerful worlds might initially spare some remnants when invading weaker ones, a world with a World Will would have no chance of leaving any living beings behind.
A World Will was simply too important.
…
While Wang Sheng awaited the enemy, all of Datong sprang into action.
Datong authorities had already announced the world invasion. About a year and a half ago, the timing of this invasion had been revealed, and they had since begun to move people and initiate defense plans.
Of course, the defense plans had undergone several changes due to Wang Sheng rooting out the traitors.
Now, inside the National Hall, the highest council chamber in Datong Capital, all strong individuals from the Fourth Realm and even the Fifth Realm had arrived.
Yes, the Fifth Realm. Over the years, Fifth Realm cultivators had emerged.
As expected, it was Zhu Xiao.
Zhu Xiao had long been at the front of the pack, and this time was no different.
The first to become a Fifth Realm cultivator.
But in such a disaster, even the Fifth Realm couldn’t play a very significant role. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Thus, he participated in the meeting quietly, abiding by the arrangements.
It was a global crisis. To increase the chances of survival, banding together was the best option.
“Gentlemen, you are all aware of the crisis facing Datong. All aspects of the defense plan have been made clear. The purpose of gathering everyone here today isn’t to discuss further matters, but rather to begin planning and to wish everyone survival!”
Huangtian still presided over the meeting, which was fraught with a very somber atmosphere.
Everyone understood that if things went poorly, no one would survive.
And so, no one spoke.
After a long silence, Huangtian continued, “Let me say one last thing; I do not insist on adherence to the defense plan. Should you encounter an invincible enemy, then save yourself. Perhaps the invaders will not slaughter the common people…”
Still, no one spoke.
Datong was powerful, but it seemed the only thing they could do in the face of the enemy was to pray.
Finally, someone spoke up, trying to lighten the mood, “Hahaha, what if it’s just us being anxious? What if there aren’t actually any invaders, or if they turn out to be weak? In that case, we could easily resolve the problem!”
“Haha, indeed, what if it’s just our capital being nervous?”
