Chapter 477: Chapter 10: Breakthrough Opportunity?
The Spirit World of the First Dynasty was the only remaining Spirit World of the Destiny Dynasty and the most tenacious one.
Wang Sheng had no good way to erase it without affecting others.
But the unknown force seemed to be able to do so.
From Qingshan Village to the location of the First Dynasty’s Spirit World, it took less than a quarter of an hour; but by the time Wang Sheng arrived, the Spirit World had already begun to collapse.
That was a true skyfall!
The vast world seemed to be disintegrating, slowly vanishing bit by bit.
And the Five Internal Gods that he had intentionally left on the way also sent back a message: neither ordinary people nor Martial Artists were encountering any problems due to the collapse of the Spirit World.
“How exactly did this unknown force manage to eliminate the Spirit World of the Destiny Dynasty without affecting any living beings?”
According to the intelligence he had received before, this was an impossible feat.
Wang Sheng tried to approach the Spirit World of the First Dynasty, wanting to get a closer look at how the unknown force operated.
However, he was very cautious, fearing that he might be affected as well.
Soon, he drew near to the collapsing Spirit World using his Spiritual Body, expecting danger, but nothing happened.
“Not only is there no danger, but this unknown force actually gives me a sense of kinship!”
Wang Sheng became even more wary inside; kinship was not what he had anticipated.
“An unknown force that suddenly appeared and indiscriminately struck down Spirit Worlds is one thing, but why would a force that nearly dealt a heavy blow to my own Spirit World make me feel close to it?”
He allowed his Divine Thought to probe, seeking to reach the unknown force.
This time, too, everything went smoothly.
At the same time, he sensed a very mechanical consciousness.
“Eliminate… vermin… eradicate, eradicate, virus!”
The unknown force only expressed itself; the words were his own translation.
“The Spirit World of the Destiny Dynasty is a virus, and the unknown force is there to eradicate it. This reasoning is much like how human cells operate. Combined with the unexplained feeling of kinship, it suggests that this force comes from the world itself, or perhaps from the planet itself!”
“The Destiny Dynasty is harmful to any world, as it likely suppresses the world itself, a virus that hinders growth, which is why such a force has appeared to eliminate the Spirit World of the Destiny Dynasty.”
“I feel kinship because I serve the beings of this world.”
“…”
Wang Sheng fell into deep thought.
This was the only possibility; however, he still harbored many doubts in his heart.
“What has caused the world, or the planet itself, to produce such a force?”
Prior to this, no such force had been present; clearly, some change had occurred for this force to emerge.
Wang Sheng couldn’t figure it out for the moment.
But one thing he was sure of was that all the restrictions would be lifted entirely.
All Martial Artists would return to a normal pace of cultivation.
“If I’m not mistaken, after this, all newly born Spiritual Bodies should be just like Zhu Xiao’s disciple, Ye Sheng, becoming truly normal people.”
Zhu Xiao’s young disciple had a complete Spiritual Body, but those born after that had reverted to their prior state.
Wang Sheng wasn’t surprised, as the Spirit World of the Destiny Dynasty hadn’t been fully released yet.
But after this, the situation would be completely different.
The collapse of the last Spirit World of the Destiny Dynasty continued.
This was the final and most severe restriction on the world; every bit of liberation brought about a colossal change.
As before, it was the strongest beings who felt the change.
All the Great Grandmasters who had stepped into the unknown were inspired.
“Inspired, it seems to be the best opportunity. Is a breakthrough needed?”
“Is this a sign from the heavens? The last sign allowed me to nearly reach a higher level; is this another opportunity?”
“The bottleneck seems to have vanished… is this good?”
Many people hesitated, but even more did not want to miss this excellent opportunity.
They sought to make a breakthrough.
Zhu Xiao, being a Martial Saint, also naturally sensed the difference.
But she was unlike the others.
“A breakthrough is possible? No, it’s not right. I’ve only ascended to Martial Saint less than a decade ago; I haven’t even fully understood this realm, so how could I possibly break through again? No, this feeling is wrong!”
“Did others sense it too? If they did, big problems could arise.”
Zhu Xiao envisioned a host of strong beings lamenting.
After some thought, she ended her seclusion and went to find Wang Sheng.
As one of the most powerful beings, he should know much more than she did.
Unfortunately, Wang Sheng was not there.
“Something must have happened…”
Zhu Xiao pondered for a moment, summoned someone, and then instructed, “Use the channels of the Yuelai Inn to notify everyone; if you’re not certain, don’t break through, or it will lead to serious trouble.”
Her subordinates, though puzzled, offered no objection.
Watching her subordinate leave, Zhu Xiao’s expression was not good.
She was well aware; her actions were likely futile, the temptation to breakthrough was too great.
She sighed after a long while, “Let’s consider it a test then. If they can’t resist this, it would be difficult for them to follow the great path in the future.”
She also knew about the invasions from other worlds, which was why she wanted to act conservatively.
But this time, the event was too abrupt; there was no stopping it.
“Who knows what really happened…”
Wang Sheng, too, was unaware of what had happened and continued to observe the collapse of the Spirit World.
Because he noticed that the world’s method of eradication seemed to have some effect on him as well.
While it might not solve the problem, it was not without its benefits.
However, he did not take any additional action, very aware that the Kui Tian Monarch was likely watching.
This might be their last monitoring point.
And indeed, the figure of Wang Sheng was observed by the Kui Tian Monarch.
“It’s a pity, Wang Sheng was not affected,” Kui Tian Monarch lamented.
The cosmos was in turmoil, causing a massive impact.
They were acutely aware that this was an opportunity to affect that world, and so they did not hesitate to take action.
“Going with the flow, that world cannot resist. While it has lifted all restrictions this time, it will also lose many leading figures—perhaps suffering even greater losses.”
“The Heavenly Demon True Monarch’s art of deception has improved once again.”
“Even though it has not affected the most critical person, it is enough!”
As long as they could weaken that world, it was a gain.
Clearly, he had succeeded this time!
Finally, Kui Tian Monarch said, “Unless there’s a surprise, this is the last time we’ll see that world before the connection. Gentlemen, take a good look at the world that will soon be ours. The next time will be in twenty or thirty years…”
