Chapter 475: Catastrophe In The Five Regions, North Sea’s Crisis!
The Sacred Leader Palace was overflowing with lightning, and the sound coming from within was deafening.
After 81 days of tempering, the origin liquid’s impurities had been completely removed.
Sparkling and translucent divine light swirled around the liquid as surging energy surged out like a tidal wave.
Shen Tian waved his hand and stored the Chaotic True Fire into his body.
Then, he changed his hand seals, condensing the endless chaotic divine lightning into a lightning hammer that struck the Lightning Emperor Flags.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Golden spears clashed, sparks flying everywhere.
Under the pounding of the divine lightning hammer, the Lightning Emperor Flags constantly changed shape, becoming similar to the original version.
The Chaotic True Fire converged, and the temperature suddenly dropped. The source liquid also continued to condense and solidify.
Boundless divine light burst forth and spread throughout the entire Sacred Leader Palace.
The light was dazzling and magnificent. It was as bright as the sun.
Wave after wave of powerful pressure swept out, its might boundless and immeasurable, engulfing the world.
In the interior of the Divine Sun Cauldron, endless phenomena burst forth.
The Ten Lightning Beasts avatar roared, and it erupted with a shocking might that shook the heavens and the earth.
Endless lightning radiance shot out, dazzling and colorful as if dazzling fireworks were burning and blooming.
All kinds of lightning attributes were present. They intertwined with each other and erupted with a terrifying aura.
Then, the power completely dissipated and entered the Lightning Emperor Flags.
Six flags appeared in the Divine Sun Cauldron.
A divine light surrounded every flag, and all sorts of divine inscriptions were flowing on them.
A powerful pressure instantly burst forth. The aura was terrifying and overflowing.
These were the six flags that Shen Tian had refined. Moreover, they emitted an intense Sub-Thearch pressure; they were all pseudo-Thearch artifacts.
Shen Tian smiled when he saw such a scene.
It seemed like this refinement was very successful.
These flags looked extremely similar to the original Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags. They could even fuse together.
In other words, the flag that he had created was completely compatible with the original.
If the two of them were to combine their powers, they would be able to become the same weapon as before.
“I’m such a genius to be able to repair a Thearch artifact!”
Shen Tian was very gratified to find that the artifact he refined was even stronger than the original.
This was because the flags had all been tempered by the Chaotic True Fire and the chaotic divine lightning. They now possessed a trace of the characteristics of the primal chaos.
Every flag could release chaotic divine lightning that was ten times stronger than the Mixed Divine Lightning.
...
Thinking of this, Shen Tian once again refined the original flag and the four flags.
In next to no time, these original Lightning Emperor Flags glowed brightly while laws could be seen coiling around them. Numerous silver-colored markings also appeared on them.
Their qualities had all transformed, and their power was several times stronger than before!
Shen Tian smiled when he saw such a scene.
Shen Tian waved his hand, and eleven Lightning Emperor Flags flew into his hand.
Immediately, an incomparably vast aura surged out, filled with an intense Thearch’s might.
Just sensing this pressure was enough to make one’s heart tremble and palpitate.
Up until now, the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags had finally returned to its peak state, and it had even surpassed the original form.
The Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags shone with resplendent light, containing a power that could destroy the world.
Once it erupted, it was as if it could shatter the sun, moon, and stars and even destroy the world.
“As expected of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s inherited Thearch artifact. It’s impressive!”
Shen Tian nodded with satisfaction. With his understanding of the power of the Lightning Emperor Flags, it would be easy for him to kill a Sub-Thearch with this weapon.
If the Lightning Emperor Flags were used to set up the Divine Firmament Divine Sky Lightning Array, even an Immortal Evil Spirit would be forced to retreat.
Of course, this also depended on who was activating it.
If a Thearch controlled it, it would not be impossible to kill a Thearch of the same level!
It could be said that the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags was absolutely a supreme artifact.
At Sacred Leader Mountain...
Zhang Longyuan walked over, his heavenly aura surging around his body.
After sensing the aura coming from the Sacred Leader Palace, his body shook violently.
As the former Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, how could he not know the source of this aura?
It was obvious that the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags was the one emitting the strong Thearch aura.
Only a Thearch artifact could unleash such pressure.
Did that mean that Tian’er had truly repaired the Lightning Emperor Flags?
At the thought of this, even Zhang Longyuan, who had lost all sense of emotion while cultivating, could not help but feel excited.
He originally did not have much hope of repairing the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags. After all, the difficulty involved was indescribable.
Zhang Longyuan only hoped that he could find a chance to repair it one day with Shen Tian’s supreme luck.
However, he never expected that this day would come so quickly.
It hadn’t even been three months since Zhang Longyuan handed the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags to Shen Tian.
In three months, Shen Tian had completed what the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s predecessors could not do even after 10,000 years.
How could Zhang Longyuan not be shocked?
He stared at the Sacred Leader Palace and couldn’t help but sigh.
I still underestimated Tian’er’s talent!
With Tian’er around, our Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is destined to be invincible!
For some reason, I suddenly feel that those Evil Spirit bastards are going to be in deep shit.
The consequences of those that go against him will be horrifying just thinking about it.
Hehehehehehe~
...
Shen Tian tidied up his tools and walked out of the Sacred Leader Palace.
The moment he stepped out, he saw Zhang Longyuan standing not far away.
Shen Tian walked over with a smile. “Master, I’ve already repaired the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags!”
After he finished his sentence, Shen Tian took out the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags.
The eleven flags extended across the void, erupting with dazzling divine radiance.
A terrifying oppressive might swept forth, covering heaven and earth. Its might was extremely frightening.
“Good, very good!
“Tian’er, you are indeed the son of the Heavenly Dao. You managed to solve a problem the previous generations of Sacred Leaders couldn’t resolve for 10,000 years so quickly.”
Zhang Longyuan’s heavenly aura rippled slightly as he looked at Shen Tian, his heart filled with gratification.
Shen Tian humbly replied, “You’re too kind, Master. I was just lucky!
“However, Master, what do you think of the might of the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags?”
Zhang Longyuan’s gaze shifted slightly as he looked at the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags. He could not help but feel surprised.
It was because he discovered that the main flag of the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags and the original four subsidiary flags had undergone a huge transformation, far surpassing the original strength.
Coupled with the additional six flags, it caused the aura of the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags to become even more terrifying.
Zhang Longyuan’s heavenly aura rippled intensely. “These flags’ power far exceeds what it had been. If I was the one that used it, I could even kill a Perfected Immortal with it!”
This was no joke!
The power of Thearch artifacts was terrifying to begin with, so it was nothing unexpected.
Furthermore, Zhang Longyuan was a top-notch expert, and the Divine Firmament Lightning Imperial Sutra he cultivated was very compatible with the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags.
Given his strength, he could use the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags to set up the Divine Firmament Sky Lightning Array.
Killing Perfected Immortal-level experts was not difficult.
In fact, Zhang Longyuan’s statement was somewhat reserved and humble.
...
Shen Tian’s eyes brightened.
He handed the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags to Zhang Longyuan and said, “Master, you should control the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags then. Only you can unleash the full power of the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags.”
Hearing Shen Tian’s words, Zhang Longyuan froze. “Tian’er, how can this be? The Sacred Leader should control the Lightning Emperor Flags. Furthermore, it was you who restored it. How could you hand it back to your Master?”
Zhang Longyuan didn’t expect Shen Tian to return the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags to him.
Who would give away such a supreme great artifact?
Wouldn’t it be nice to keep it for yourself?
“Master, we’re all members of the same sacred ground. It doesn’t matter who uses it.
“Besides, only with Master in control of it will we be able to better protect the sacred ground.”
Shen Tian said firmly.
Although the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags was a supreme artifact that was extremely precious, Shen Tian didn’t mind and chose to return it to Zhang Longyuan.
This was because he had a lot of treasures on him, and what he had was completely sufficient.
For example, the Divine Sun Cauldron, the Spherical Heaven Chessboard, and the God of War Pagoda. The latter two were even more powerful than the Lightning Emperor Flags.
The most powerful ability of the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags could only be unleashed through setting up formations. It was more suitable for a defensive battle.
On the formation aspect, Shen Tian controlled the even more powerful Heavenly Cycle Star Formation.
The Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor’s Flags thus became dispensable and unimportant to him.
Hence, he might as well hand the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags to Zhang Longyuan. This way, he would be able to protect the sacred ground.
After all, Shen Tian could not stay in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground forever.
While he was gone, if Zhang Longyuan could wield the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags, he could better protect the sacred ground.
...
Zhang Longyuan didn’t say anything else. He knew Shen Tian was thinking about the big picture.
However, he still reminded him. “Tian’er, if you give me the Lightning Emperor Flags, you’ll have no treasure to protect yourself.”
Shen Tian shook his head with a smile. “Master, I still have many supreme treasures on me! Look!”
With that, Shen Tian took out a chess piece and threw it toward a nearby mountain.
In an instant, the chess piece turned into a deep black light that shot into the sky like a falling star.
Boom!
A loud explosion could be heard!
The mountain that was thousands of feet wide instantly exploded into nothingness.
Dust filled the air, and not a single stone could be seen. Everything was demolished to dust by this chess piece.
Zhang Longyuan’s eyes narrowed. He could feel that this chess piece was extremely powerful, even comparable to a pseudo-Thearch artifact.
However, in terms of might, it was still inferior to the Lightning Emperor Flags.
Shen Tian guessed what Zhang Longyuan was thinking and took out the board. “Master, I have tens of thousands of such chess pieces!”
Zhang Longyuan, “...”
A single chess piece possessed such terrifying power. Tens of thousands...
If he were to unleash them all, wouldn’t he be able to destroy the world?
Gosh... this was too exaggerated!
Zhang Longyuan’s heavenly aura shook violently, almost collapsing.
Who would have thought that the clown was actually himself...
I’m thinking too much. Tian’er has so many treasures with him. Why would he need the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags?
Tian’er is truly worthy of being the Son of Providence!
With the sacred ground in his hands, I can finally be at ease.
...
At that moment, an alarm sounded from within the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
The ear-piercing sound lingered as it resounded throughout the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, attracting everyone’s attention.
“What’s going on? What had just happened?”
“Why are the Five Regions Messaging Tokens ringing? Is the Evil Spirit race attacking again?”
“Which faction has been attacked?”
Everyone was shocked and started to panic.
The Five Regions Messaging Token was left behind by the experts of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty. They were responsible for contacting the various great powers of the five regions.
If any power encountered an attack from the Evil Spirit race, they would immediately send a message to the dynasty to request reinforcements.
The Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty would then immediately make arrangements to inform the nearby powers to rush over to help.
When one side was in trouble, all sides would help.
It was because of the Five Regions Messaging Token that the forces of the five regions were tightly tied together.
But in recent years, few forces used the Five Regions Messaging Token.
Even though there were still Evil Spirits wreaking havoc in the outside world, few dared to attack the five regions’ forces on a large scale.
During this period, everything had been peaceful.
Just as everyone thought that they would be able to steadily develop and strengthen their foundation, the Evil Spirit race began to stir up trouble again.
For the Five Regions Messaging Token to suddenly ring today, something big must have happened.
Shen Tian and Zhang Longyuan looked at each other and immediately rushed over.
...
Soon, the two of them arrived at the location of the token.
The other Elders of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had also rushed over.
All of them had solemn expressions on their faces as if they had encountered something extremely troublesome.
“What happened?”
Shen Tian and Zhang Longyuan went forward to inquire about the situation.
“Greetings, Sacred Leader, Elder Longyuan!”
Upon seeing the two of them, the surrounding elders bowed.
Elder White Lotus walked over, took a deep breath, and explained with a grave expression, “Sacred Leader, Senior Brother Longyuan, we just received a message from the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty.
“Many regions in the five regions have huge wormholes that connect to outer space.
“Countless Evil Spirits from the outer realm have charged into the wormholes and brought calamity to the world.”
This matter was extremely troublesome.
Back then, it was the Evil Spirit Sect that had been causing chaos in the five regions.
Although the Evil Spirit race from the outer realm was behind them, there were not many Evil Spirits that participated in the battle back then. It was not a huge threat to the five regions, so the major factions could still deal with it.
With the appearance of the wormhole, the Evil Spirit army had a pathway to enter the five regions continuously.
All the forces were in danger.
Zhang Longyuan’s heavenly aura rippled as he said indifferently, “Is no one stopping the wormhole?”
The Evil Spirit Sect must have sacrificed a large number of living beings and worked together with the Evil Spirits from the outer realm to create so many wormholes.
But as long as the wormhole was destroyed, the Evil Spirits from the outer realm would not be able to enter the five regions.
“It’s different this time. The Evil Spirits from the outer realm are extremely arrogant.”
“A Great Sage tried to destroy the wormhole!
“In the end, he was easily killed by powerful Evil Spirit experts!
“This time, the Evil Spirit race has sent a supreme powerhouse into this world. There are even many Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits.”
Elder White Lotus’ tone was extremely grave. This was news from the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty, so there couldn’t be any mistake.
The current situation was extremely dangerous.
Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits were not something ordinary factions could fight against.
In the battle 10,000 years ago, the foundations of the various sacred grounds had suffered heavy losses and had yet to recover.
With the current foundation of the various sacred grounds, they would still be able to gather some True Sages and Great Sages to fight together.
However, cultivators at the Sub-Immortal realm and above were extremely rare.
Most people who reached this realm would choose to ascend to the Celestial World, and thus there were not many experts of this level left in the five regions.
Furthermore, the number of Sub-Immortals the Evil Spirit race had sent down this time was extremely high, and they were extremely powerful.
To the forces of the five regions, this was a destructive threat.
...
Elder White Lotus continued. “The Evil Spirits from the outer realm have already launched an all-out attack on the five regions. The Evil Spirit army is attacking many places.
“The most dangerous and tense place is North Sea!
“Countless Evil Spirit armies have appeared near the Chaotic Star Island to engage in wanton slaughter.
“Many forces in North Sea have already perished. Blood has dyed the endless sea red, and corpses are strewn everywhere!
“It is said that the number of Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits appearing in North Sea is no less than five, and the number is still increasing!
“Right now, Black Dragon Island and the Great Void Kun race are organizing their forces and mobilizing all the forces in North Sea to defend the area. However, they are also stretched out, and their defensive line may collapse at any moment.”
Shen Tian and Zhang Longyuan frowned when they heard this. “The Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty’s reinforcements haven’t been dispatched?”
The invasion of these Evil Spirits was not something that ordinary powers could withstand.
Only the reinforcements from the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty could help resolve this problem.
After all, the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty was publicly acknowledged as the strongest power in the five regions. There were countless experts in it, and there was no lack of Sub-Immortal level existences.
Elder White Lotus’s eyes dimmed. “The Evil Spirit race is also attacking the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty. Many experts are being held back.
“Even Imperial Lord Huang Shi is restrained by the supreme Evil Spirit experts, and he’s unable to provide assistance!”
The five regions were in great danger now.
The Evil Spirit race had long planned to send out an Evil Spirit army to hold back the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty experts, preventing them from supporting North Sea.
As long as the Evil Spirits from the outer realm captured North Sea, they could use it as their base.
At that time, there would be an endless stream of Evil Spirits appearing in North Sea, slowly devouring the entire five regions.
Before long, the Evil Spirit race’s forces would become so powerful that no one would be able to defeat them. At that time, it would be the end for the five regions!
...
“So now, the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty has sent a message to the other forces in the five regions, asking us to reinforce the powers in North Sea as much as possible.”
Elder White Lotus sighed. The current situation was too dangerous for the various forces.
Even if some forces had yet to be besieged by the Evil Spirit race, they did not dare to rashly provide support.
After all, if there was a crisis, it was basically impossible to return to provide support.
But if one didn’t go and North Sea was taken over by the Evil Spirit race, the consequences would be too dire.
Given Black Dragon Island and the Great Void Kun race’s foundation, they probably could not withstand the Evil Spirits’ invasion.
Shen Tian frowned.
He took a step forward. “In that case, I’ll make a trip over!”
Shen Tian had many close friends in North Sea, especially Ao Bing and Shen Aoxue.
That alone meant he had to go.
Shen Tian couldn’t just stand by and watch the mother and daughter fall into danger.
Elder White Lotus immediately stopped him. “No, this is too dangerous! Tian’er, you should stay in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground! We’ll arrange for other reinforcements to go to the North Sea.”
This time, a large number of Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits had appeared. It was not so easy to deal with them.
Although Shen Tian was extremely talented, he had only cultivated for 180 years, and his foundation was not deep enough.
Elder White Lotus didn’t understand Shen Tian’s true combat strength and didn’t want him to fall into danger.
Shen Tian shook his head and firmly said, “Aunt-Master, I have to go.”
“Since that’s the case, I’ll go with you.”
Zhang Longyuan spoke indifferently as the heavenly aura around his body surged violently.
He wasn’t worried about Shen Tian’s safety. Given his providence, how could he encounter danger?
Moreover, Zhang Longyuan had just seen Shen Tian’s trump card.
With so many chess pieces, not to mention Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits, even Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits would bleed.
As for why Zhang Longyuan proposed to follow along?
Of course, it was to express his attitude!
...
Even though he knew Shen Tian wasn’t in danger, as his Master, he had to show concern so that he could gain a favorable impression.
At the thought of this, Zhang Longyuan’s heavenly aura rippled.
As expected of me!
I’m really too smart!
Hehehehehehe~
