The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1019 - Heaven And Earth Opening: Graveyard Of The Gods (2)

Chapter 1019

(Unedited)

…

Shin Jiao is traveling as fast as he could, but for some reason, he still has not reached Heaven and Earth City. According to this map tracker, he should have reached the city borders several hours ago.

"Hmm… What is happening?" Shin Jiao thought as he checked his surroundings.

After checking for a while, his expression changed.

"This… Damn… I fell for a dark array… This is beguilement formation." He muttered as he quickly stopped traveling.

Shin Jiao hops out of his hoverbike and quickly stores it. Then, without hesitation, he sat on the ground and spreads his spiritual and absolute senses.

Wheng!!!

After about an hour, he soon feels the restriction around him.

"No wonder I was not able to see or feel it. This is an immortal grade array formation." He thought.

In pill forging there are 10 tiers that would rate the level of a pill, low, middle, high, mortal, spirit, hybrid, sky, heaven, immortal, and deity or god. This same rating applies to formations. Though in crafting there are only 5 tiers, mortal, spirit, soul, Dao, and deity or God.

Shin Jiao did not care about the low to spirit level of pill forging and array formations as they are the most basic and could be seen everywhere. In fact, he is used to it that he could immediately see any flaws in any formation within these levels.

Upon his many experiences like learning the map of galaxies through the lost human race orb artifact, the eye of knowledge, and also learning about more advanced arrays inside Agus' tomb, his knowledge in arrays has reached new heights. Hybrid and sky-tier formations became a little bit easy for him to understand.

As for immortal and deity tier array formations, they would still pose a challenge for him at this time.

"It seems that… this is truly a formidable array to crack." He muttered.

Shin Jiao began analyzing the ground, the sky, and his surroundings. After a while, he still could not find a clue as to how to escape. He gritted his teeth as he only has one last trump card at this time.

He delves into his concentration and quickly combined his two senses and his divine sense spreads out of his body. Although limited due to the constraints of this planet, Shin Jiao's divine senses are still able to see many things he did not while using his spiritual and absolute senses.

Weng!!!

His mind jolted as he felt a pang of pain in his brain.

"Damn these constraints…" Shin Jiao cursed as he suddenly threw out a small knife he took from his dimension.

The knife flew in a straight direction then suddenly vanished in thin air.

Tonk!!!

He then heard a sound and suddenly the whole array collapses.

The knife actually hit a floating and traversing flag which is the actual core of the array. This is the reason why no matter how hard Shin Jiao uses his other senses he could not find the core. It is actually moving around the array.

However, at this time, Shin Jiao has no time to celebrate.

Because right now…

He suddenly found himself facing an army of demons of every kind. He could see that the strongest of these demons is in the high lord realm, the sheer number of them already poses a great threat on Shin Jiao.

"Shit! What bad luck!" Shin Jiao curses as he quickly takes out his hoverbike and hopped on it.

His only way to survive is to flee.

But how could the demons that also discovered him let him escape?

Before Shin Jiao could speed away, he suddenly felt a bad premonition.

Without hesitation, Shin Jiao jumps out of his hoverbike.

Ka-boom!!!

The hoverbike was immediately blasted into pieces. How could a mere hoverbike resist the might of a lord realm demon?

"Do I really need to fight this hopeless battle?" Shin Jiao asked himself.

He already noticed that the light in the sky is already dimming which means that it is almost nighttime. Tomorrow would be the second day, and if he is unable to reach the city, then it would all be too late.

Only he could recognize those two leaders of this group, although he already sent images, he knows that the Shadow Being could hide in anyone. Plus, vampires can actually disguise themselves according to their encounters with their kind.

So he could only recognize them through their auras which he has already memorized.

Shin Jiao has no time to think as he was suddenly assaulted by different kinds of magical attacks using dark energy.

Bang! Bang!

While thinking of a way to escape Shin Jiao did not have a choice but to dodge and at the same time fight back.

Every time he would try to flee, a strong demon would immediately block his path. Then he would be attacked mercilessly. He could even hear some of the demons chuckle at his plight. He suddenly feels that he is like a tiny mouse inside a cage being toyed around by these demons.

Well… traveling on foot for days while under the protection of the beguiling formation, these demons have already felt bored. And upon seeing a small human which seem to have been lost within the beguiling formation, the demons could not help themselves but toy with him.

Shin Jiao did not truly like the feeling of being played around in the palm of another's hand. This is one of the reasons why he left the secret organization of the government.

As he saw the grins and the smirks on the faces of the demons around him, Shin Jiao could not help but feel a strong rage swelling deep down inside his heart. This rage slowly accumulated as his hand began trembling.

His path is limited, as he is already surrounded. He already knew that escaping is futile, as even in the air, he could see the demon high lord watching this scene with folded arms like watching a trapped mouse.

For the first time, in a long time, Shin Jiao felt helpless and overpowered by his foes. He has not felt this way for a long time now. And feeling helpless once again seems to have ignited something deep inside of him. It was like something inside his soul awoken.

Bang!

Having his concentration for a bit, Shin Jiao's figure was not able to dodge an incoming lava ball that was hurled towards him.

His figure flew to the side of the mountain causing the mountain to shake violently.

One should know that the trees and mountains in the immortal land are not like those in any regular world. The trees and mountains in this place are patterned to the higher planes. Although it only resembled around 10% along with their sturdiness, it is still sturdy enough to make a nascent realm expert break every strong bone in their body once they hit a single tree.

And that single attack alone threw Shin Jiao to the side of the mountain making it shake violently. This could attest to how strong that attack was.

The demons began chuckling while shaking their heads in dejection. They thought that the human could last for a while, and were a bit amused as the human was actually very quick a nimble. His speed is something else, along with his agility and dexterity. It was truly fun for them for a while.

As they all turn around to leave thinking that the human is already dead, they heard some cracking sound from within that hole at the side of the mountain.

Rumble! Rumble!

Suddenly the ground began shaking and smoke started to billow out from that hole.

And before the demons could know what is happening. They saw something flying out from that hole. It was too fast that none of them could react immediately.

Then that thing hit a demon from their midst.

Puchi!

The demon has no time to react and just lowered his gaze. Then what he saw made his eyes grew wide in disbelief.

A metal object is actually inserted into his stomach.

Then before he could react, that metal object suddenly retracted showing that it was actually a metal arm.

On the palm of that arm is the demon's core.

With mouth agape, the demon was not able to react before he saw his core being crushed into powder in front of him.

The rest of the demons were startled and alarmed as they all quickly go into a defensive stance. Although they were surprised by the sudden counterattack, all of them are born on the battlefield. In the space above, they have faced countless wars and death is not new to them.

And so this single death of one of them did not deter the demon army. They have seen the birth and death of countless of their comrades and this has already made them not feel anything at all. In fact, some of them found what just happened a bit amusing. At least they knew that their toy is still alive and well. At least they would not be bored in this journey… or so they thought.

That is because… what happened next was out of their expectation.
