Chapter 687: Chapter 687: A Battle Shocks the World, Red Moon Hanging High, Prestige Achieved
In the high sky.
Only the Nine Swords Quasi-Saint remained, still watching.
“So… so strong!”
He had witnessed the process of dozens of top experts attacking the Crimson Moon Gate together and seen the situation at the scene.
Apart from Ye Feng, everyone else was injured by the retaliation.
What this meant was very clear to the Nine Swords Quasi-Saint.
“Sect Master Ye is too strong!”
“Not only did he slay the Celestial Clan’s Second Turn Quasi-Saint Xuan Zhong, but he also emerged unscathed from the backlash of the Crimson Moon Gate, while everyone else was injured.”
“This shows that Sect Master Ye’s strength surpasses everyone else’s!”
“Hiss!”
The Nine Swords Quasi-Saint became a “warzone reporter”, recording the entire process of the battle and hurriedly copied this memory to imprint it onto a jade slip.
Then, he flew back to the Nine Swords Empire.
…
Misty Peak.
Ye Feng and Hu Feifei landed at the peak.
Upon returning, Ye Feng had already released Mo Ying, Ancestor of Green-garbed Sword, and the others.
Lifting their heads, everyone could see the huge Crimson Moon in the sky.
The cool breeze blew, carrying strands of hair.
But in this moment that should have been for cooling off and resting, Ye Feng’s mood was very heavy.
Hu Feifei, tilting her head, asked, “Sect Master, why has the moon in the sky turned crimson and become so large? Do you think it will always hang in the sky, never disappearing?”
“Yes,” Ye Feng nodded.
“Oh! What should we do then?” Hu Feifei’s bright eyes widened, “I heard that crops need the sun to survive. If the Crimson Moon hangs in the sky all the time, what will happen to the crops?”
“No, it won’t affect them,” Ye Feng shook his head.
The Hundredfold Crimson Moon is a mutant.
The original Crimson Moon devoured the Sun, expanding a hundredfold, and it also contains the Power of the Sun, following the natural law, sometimes emitting sunlight, sometimes retracting it.
Although one cannot see the sunlight on its surface, it doesn’t greatly affect the plants; they can grow freely.
However…
After being irradiated by the Power of the Crimson Moon, many plants still mutate into demonic plants under the command of the Celestial Clan.
They have no consciousness, only a wild killing intent.
“What a strange energy!”
The Thousand-Year Ancient Pine and the Spirit Consolidating Ancestral Tree both sensed the strange Power of the Crimson Moon. After absorbing this energy, their evolution sped up significantly, but their consciousness could fall into a slight confusion.
However, their profound foundations allowed them to recover quickly.
As for other cultivators or spiritual beasts, they remained unaffected.
Ye Feng noticed this.
“I understand!”
“The Power of the Crimson Moon doesn’t greatly affect animals, but it can cause plants to mutate rapidly.”
“And under the heavens, the most abundant are the plants.”
“The Celestial Clan’s actions are intended to make plants transform into rampant demonic beasts in large numbers, wreaking havoc everywhere and hindering the development of the Shenzhou Continent.”
Realizing this, Ye Feng’s mind became enlightened.
He turned and looked towards the Sect Main Plaza.
At this moment.
Nearly ten thousand elders and disciples of the Misty Sect had gathered in the Sect Main Plaza, looking up at Ye Feng.
“Disciples of the Misty Sect, heed my command!”
“Now, the evil Celestial Clan has revealed its fangs, employing an immense divine skill to make the Crimson Moon devour the Sun, leaving the Shenzhou Continent with no daylight, only endless night, enabling demonic beasts to grow rampantly.”
“To prevent the rampage of these violent demonic beasts, you shall go out and kill enemies, refining yourselves and also strengthening your own power!”
Ye Feng announced loudly.
“Yes!”
All the disciples of the Misty Sect said, bowing.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The disciples accepted their tasks and set out.
They formed groups of seven, each group having at least three higher-ranked individuals from the Element Gathering Realm, and with joint spells, even if confronted with peak Element Gathering Realm adversaries, they could fight.
At the peak of Misty Peak.
Gong Qingqiu bowed to Ye Feng and said, “Sect Master, what exactly is going on?”
The others also looked over.
Nowadays, about half of the disciples had gone out.
The rest either hadn’t taken on a task yet, or their cultivation levels weren’t high enough to meet the requirements for going out.
They looked towards Ye Feng with faces full of confusion.
They were all in a panic over the sudden arrival of the Hundredfold Crimson Moon.
“This matter is related to the mysterious Celestial Clan!”
Ye Feng spoke slowly.
…
On the Shenzhou Continent.
All the powerful forces’ cultivators were watching the crimson moon in the sky.
No one knew what had happened.
Some felt it was a bizarre phenomenon, worrying it might be a disaster sent from the heavens; others found the crimson moon romantic, thinking it would dissipate soon, unaware of the danger.
Before they knew it, several days had passed.
People found that the Hundredfold Crimson Moon was still shining in the sky.
It hung aloft at the greatest height, like a huge, indifferent pupil, constantly overlooking the earth, instilling fear in those who gazed upon it.
“Heavens!”
“Why doesn’t the Hundredfold Crimson Moon dissipate?”
“Where is the sun, the sun?”
Hearts were trembling with fear all across the Shenzhou Continent.
And just then, rumors about the Hundredfold Crimson Moon, the ins and outs of the battle in the Cangqing Forbidden Zone, the appearance of the Crimson Moon Gate, and the backlash suffered by dozens of top fighters when they bombarded the Crimson Moon Gate… such news spread rapidly throughout the Shenzhou Continent at an astonishing speed.
“The crimson moon was actually created by a spell from the Celestial Clan; what kind of terrifying race is this?”
“It turns out we have been misunderstanding the Five Great Forbidden Zones all along.”
“Yes!”
“Who would have thought that the wildly chaotic ancient beings, who caused disorder every thousand years, weren’t local creatures of the Forbidden Areas but members of the Celestial Clan who came through the Crimson Moon Gate!”
“I also heard that Sect Master Ye of the Misty Sect is terrifying; he managed to emerge unscathed from the backlash of the Crimson Moon Gate. Besides him, even the mighty One-Turn Quasi-Saint Xiao Cangtian was cut in half.”
“Sect Master Ye truly is a divine being!”
“My son, set your mind at ease. Even if I have to pawn everything, I’ll raise the transmission fee to the Mystique Kingdom!”
News about the Crimson Moon crazily spread out.
Thanks to the stir caused by the Nine Swords Quasi-Saint, a gossip lover, such news wildly propagated and completely spread out in just a few days.
Suddenly, Ye Feng’s name was known to everyone!
At the summit of Misty Peak.
[Sect Prestige Value +98272663]
…
[Sect Prestige Value +100028731]
Ye Feng, while listening to the notification sound, was stunned.
“Pfft!”
After a long while, he suddenly spat out the tea in his mouth, shockingly said, “What’s going on? In just a day or two, the prestige points have been skyrocketing, billions a day, is this a glitch?”
Ye Feng couldn’t understand it.
Quickly, he took out the Wind Spirit Pearl and used the Wind Element Spirit Energy to divine fate, finally learning the truth.
“It was actually Nine Swords Quasi-Saint who spread the news!”
“This guy is pretty chill, with no enemies, many acquaintances, all on good terms, and his only fault is enjoying bragging to his friends, so he casually spread what happened in the Cangqing Forbidden Zone.”
“Of course, the majority of the prestige points now come from the Nine Swords Empire, since, after all, I blew up Xuan Zhong in the sky above Du City, and I am seen as the lifesaver of the Nine Swords Empire.”
“However, these prestige points have increased way too fiercely!”
Ye Feng, looking at the nearly two billion prestige points, licked his lips and felt a wave of dryness in his mouth.
But upon thinking that over ten billion prestige points were needed to unlock the ninth-tier Spirit Beast Pavilion, Ye Feng no longer found the two billion prestige points so enticing.
Sitting in his seat, he opened the system panel.
[Disciple Prestige: 8.39 million/100 million]
[Elder Prestige: 37.23 million/300 million]
[Third Generation Disciples Number: 4566/10000]
Since the arrival of the Hundredfold Crimson Moon, odd plants had gradually transformed into rampant plant-based Demonic Beasts on the earth.
They acted recklessly, causing harm everywhere.
The elders and disciples of the Misty Sect went out to perform hunting tasks, slaying these demons and monsters, and earned a huge amount of prestige points in the process.
“With this pace, Sect Leader’s sixth-stage task’s sub-tasks can be completed very soon.”
“As for the Third Generation Disciples item…”
Ye Feng lowered his head, gazing towards Whitefloat City.
