Free Web NovelChapter 2427: Chapter 2428: Stirring Winds and Rain
The wind rises gradually, bringing an unbearable chill from the Netherworld deep into the soul. The leading man stared coldly at this group of invaders. Compared to those who massacre cities, although these people are not as brutal, their danger is significant.
Hum, entering their territory alone; do they really think they are like those weaklings from another dimension?
Recalling the experience of infiltrating the Main World, that person sneered dismissively. He did not believe this group could evade their pursuit, let alone confront them head-on at this moment.
"Arrogant fools, let your blood atone for those who have perished!"
The leading man shouted loudly and waved his hand. The Dragonflame Blast Technique gathered and emitted in front of him, making Feng Yuan, who had been waiting for a while, smirk coldly and tightly clenched his right hand while Xiao Ji’s power formed a massive shield in front of him.
The scorching dragon flames were blocked unreasonably by the black giant shield. Even though it was separated only by this shield, Feng Yuan and his companions hiding behind felt no increase in temperature.
Gladys gazed inexplicably at Feng Yuan, not expecting his strength to be much greater than anticipated. The power of the opponent’s Dragonflame Blast was not weak, yet Feng Yuan could easily block the attack.
"It seems I’ve been underestimated."
Feng Yuan snorted coldly, as a ghostly blue flame ignited on Xiao Ji. Letting out a long cry, Xiao Ji slowly ascended. In the sky, a terrifying crack silently opened, and ghostly blue fireballs fell through the rift.
"Petty tricks, watch me..."
The leading man was indifferent to Xiao Ji’s Crimson Judgement, thinking the displayed aura was just superficial. Yet he realized mid-sentence that his technique’s nullifying effect was completely ineffective against Crimson Judgement.
"Interesting, but intercepting this thing isn’t difficult, you only need..."
The light barrier expanded, but against the Divine Beast Technique like Crimson Judgement, even at Legendary Level, the barrier was a formidable ultimate move but still struggled to resist Crimson Judgement’s attack.
With anger, Xiao Ji unleashed its full power without reservation, the Sacred Beast Level aura completely infused into its ultimate move; mere Sacred Beast Level can hardly stop the slowly descending Meteor Flame.
The Crimson Judgement landed, causing immediate losses for the group; had they not been slightly below full extermination due to Xiao Ji’s abilities, while directly resisting was impossible, forcibly avoiding falling meteors wasn’t entirely out of reach for those above Legendary Level.
Without waiting for the aftermath to fade, Agunas snorted coldly and waved a small hand. The Time River’s illusion appeared at its side, the heroic figures recorded in history began to materialize, attacking the embarrassed group.
"Damn it!"
Having suffered from the Crimson Judgement, the leading man realized that this group wasn’t as straightforward as they appeared, and Agunas’ additional attack foiled his escape plan.
The Heroic Spirit Summon, unlike Crimson Judgement, carried a time-lock effect, and lacking the ability to break free from the time lock made evading impossible.
Even for a space-series Divine Beast like Gitalien, evading Heroic Spirit Summon was challenging, relying solely on the Spatial Authority to forcibly erode and escape through endless space.
Conventional evasion techniques were completely ineffective against it.
Facing the full force of Xiao Ji and Agunas, the group couldn’t last long before being utterly exterminated.
"A good plan, but unfortunately, I left quite a few surprises in the forest."
Turning back to the forest behind, Feng Yuan showed a peculiar smile and said. The dead forest suddenly became lively as a strange, evil aura began to spread continuously.
Gladys looked at Feng Yuan in surprise, wondering if he anticipated their rear sneak attack and planned accordingly?
"Let’s go; they’re finished now."
Smiling coldly, Feng Yuan called the group to leave; they deliberately didn’t go far before just to wait for these people, not to mention staying here longer?
It was already late, and Feng Yuan didn’t want to fight all night, moreover his goal wasn’t to empty this area.
Compared to Feng Yuan’s side, Old Wei seemed more reckless as darkness continued to devour East Continent Alliance lands. From their perspective, Old Wei was like a big villain incessantly destroying their territories.
Indeed, it was destruction, not occupation. Although the appearance seemed unchanged, the land swallowed by darkness was utterly dead. No plant or even microorganism could survive on this deceased land.
Thus, the teams initially pursuing both parties gradually focused on surrounded Old Wei, while Feng Yuan’s side was less prioritized despite sending people after him.
Compared to the destruction caused by Old Wei, Feng Yuan and others evidently had less destructive power, which was natural. Even Agunas didn’t plan to create large-scale slaughter, let alone mass extinction like Old Wei.
Agunas didn’t know exactly what Old Wei was doing, or else it might try stopping him, though not out of mercy for people on The Imperial Timeline. For Agunas, whether The Imperial Timeline was destroyed was irrelevant unless it affected the Main World or the stability and safety of the Time River.
But it certainly wouldn’t allow Old Wei to mess around prematurely causing a war between the Empire and the Alliance unprepared.
Therefore, even if Feng Yuan chose not to leave, Agunas would urge him to slow down actions to avoid excessively provoking the Eastern Alliance Empire.
Looking at the group of pursuers, Old Wei snorted coldly, shadows swallowed everything around, and the shadows that originally clung to physical surfaces suddenly gained substance, forming various shadow beasts charging the pursuers.
The power exclusive to shadows shrouded and devoured those Beastmasters; even if they tried their best, they couldn’t stop the shadow’s devouring.
While Old Wei was violently slaughtering, the dark seeds Feng Yuan left in Mao Yue Forest were entirely activated, the terrifying plague ignoring distance and forcefully spreading, severely impacting the whole region under Eastern Alliance Empire control.
Empire Gladys gazed at the Divination Crystal Ball in hand whispering
"It’s just like I saw before; that guy will be our greatest obstacle. Unfortunately, there’s no way to eliminate him."
"Perhaps it’s a problem with your divination?"
"Hmm? I’m all ears."
Turning to glance behind, Empire Gladys showed a curious look. Divination and prophecy methods’ biggest trouble is interpretation. At least, her divination results require riddles-like explanation.
"The greatest obstacle may not appear at the beginning; he’s quite unlikely to be simple, since he invaded our world alone."
Empire Lanadi said, looking at projection screens with real-time reports. On them, alerts from East Continent Alliance refreshed repeatedly, causing Empire Gladys to chuckle lightly, saying
"I don’t know why, but despite intruding on our world equally, that shadowy figure seems to cause far more destruction than him."
"One side restraining, the other reckless. Recklessness doesn’t necessarily translate to immense strength; maybe just because they don’t fear our retaliation."
"Ha, why not call it revenge?"
With a peculiar smile directed at Empire Lanadi, Empire Gladys inquired, coldly snorting, Empire Lanadi didn’t bother explaining, or perhaps the other knew exactly why.
A battle of righteousness? Neither she nor Empire Gladys believed so; it was only about interests of their respective factions.
Revenge? Ha, but they were proactive attackers countered by the opposition, how could it be termed revenge? Empire Lanadi scorned using words to disguise actions, or perhaps the Mordan Clan’s peculiarity made such means unappealing.
Having seen or gained through abilities numerous distorted historical accounts, these artificially twisted histories affected their divination and prophecy outcomes, making the Mordan Clan dislike such action as it complicates divination and prophecy.
"I have a feeling, had we not provoked him, perhaps he wouldn’t have invaded East Continent Alliance territory. But is he warning or venting?"
Empire Lanadi expressed some confusion. She believed Feng Yuan could directly venture into Mordan Empire lands, yet he didn’t but wreaking havoc on East Continent Alliance grounds.
Is he truly warning?
