Free Web NovelChapter 608: Chapter 406: Apocalypse Rift, Salvation_2
Others naturally had their own methods, but they were considerably troublesome. To the Immortals, if there was an issue with an ant, they would simply squash it.
"I assure you, there will be no problem."
The Five Elements True Immortal remained expressionless.
Zhong Heng stood behind the Five Elements True Immortal, feeling a bit stiff all over at this moment.
For a True Immortal, with just a thought, Zhong Heng could feel an overwhelming killing intent.
The giant black crack, or rather the Apocalypse Rift as referred to by the Void Whale Immortal, was surrounded by a fair number of Immortals, though not overwhelming in number.
They watched the two, but did not speak.
The Five Elements True Immortal had a significant background, with true Dao Practice surpassing most of the Immortals present.
As a result, after Immortal Venerable Huihuang, the Five Elements True Immortal took over dealing with the Apocalypse Rift.
If the Five Elements True Immortal believed there was no issue, then most likely there would be none.
Even so, the Void Whale could not fault this, for the Apocalypse Rift concerned the entire Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm.
The two actually confronted each other in the void.
Were the present crowd to choose, most, unfamiliar with Zhong Heng, would naturally lean towards the Void Whale.
However, in this confrontation, those present did not wish to comment.
Perhaps because there was private enmity between the two.
"Kong Xuan! Will you disregard all beings?"
"Void Whale, it’s not your place to rule here."
The Five Elements True Immortal was actually the reincarnated body of the Peacock Great Saint; this was no longer a secret.
This returned powerful figure even served as the origin of the Peacock Race’s bloodline.
There were several Peacock Great Saints, but the origin was only one, Jiuzhou’s first peacock, Kong Xuan.
The origins of the Void Whale were also remarkable, being an extremely rare void creature that attained the Dao.
It had also survived the Ancient Wilderness Era and had conflicts with Kong Xuan, only recently reawakening.
Patching the Apocalypse Rift bore great risks, but success would yield great merit.
Kong Xuan might truly return from the River of Time, achieving genuine revival. Should the Void Whale attain such merit, it could also refine a region of void, advancing its Dao Practice.
Their enmity was extensive.
Immortals naturally prioritized the bigger picture.
The Void Whale’s eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly detecting the importance the Five Elements True Immortal placed on Zhong Heng.
Its form suddenly shifted, striking a palm toward Zhong Heng.
The Five Elements True Immortal instinctively expanded its domain.
The domains of two True Immortals collided and compressed against each other.
Seen from Jiuzhou, it appeared as if an additional brilliant star had emerged in the sky.
Intangible ripples undulated in the space, seemingly causing the surrounding stars to tremble. The aftermath of the battle spread like ripples, distorting the void where it reached.
"Damn it!"
Zhong Heng’s heart echoed with alarm bells.
"Old Turtle, is this what you deduced as no problem..."
The old turtle within the River Map had specially assured Zhong Heng earlier that there would be no danger on this journey.
Yet, at this moment, even trying to invoke the backup plan within the Five Elements Qiankun Gourd was too late.
Though powerful, Immortal Artifacts without equal existence to wield them could not prevail before true Immortals.
Zhong Heng could sense his cultivation seemingly rendered ineffective.
Before a true Immortal, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator dubbed a Land Immortal was but an ant.
"Void Whale!!"
"If I escape, I will surely kill you!" Zhong Heng roared angrily in his heart.
Zhong Heng controlled his body.
Using all his strength, he lifted his head.
Meeting the eyes of the Void Whale Immortal.
Zhong Heng’s gaze was full of reluctance.
Yet in the Immortal’s eyes, there was no emotion, as if looking down on an ant.
But in the next second, a streak of dazzling light met both their gazes.
"Boom——————"
Looking up from Jiuzhou, the original star became even more brilliant.
Zhong Heng widened his eyes.
It was an Immortal Sword.
On the sword’s blade, characters flowed in an graceful style.
"Star River"
Those two words, yet Zhong Heng felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity from them.
"Pei Xinghe! You intend to stop me as well?"
The Void Whale found it somewhat unbelievable.
A mere Nascent Soul actually rallying two Immortals against each other sparked a spark of unfounded anger in its heart.
Pei Xinghe did not speak, her figure suddenly appearing behind the Star River Immortal Sword.
Her slender hand grasped the sword hilt.
In the next moment, as if one, as if countless streaks of sword light glittered.
Sword Intent transformed into an extreme shadow falling upon the Void Whale.
In an instant, the Void Whale felt countless sword lights glittering.
Within those countless sword lights were countless worlds.
Pei Xinghe had achieved the realm of one sword generating ten thousand swords, every sword encompassing the Cosmos.
It was a realm extremely difficult even for Sword Immortals who cultivated for millennia to achieve.
"Hmph." Ultimately, the Void Whale snorted and reluctantly retreated.
Despite its profound experience, it had slumbered for too long to not retreat before the blade of a later generation.
Zhong Heng blankly looked at the Immortal Fairy who saved him.
Zhong Heng reacted and hastily bowed in thanks.
"Thank you, senior."
Pei Xinghe, however, gazed at Zhong Heng with complexity.
"So similar..."
Pei Xinghe approached, and her hand actually touched Zhong Heng’s cheek.
In that moment, Zhong Heng dared not move.
The Five Elements True Immortal merely raised a brow at this, saying nothing.
Zhong Heng could see countless worlds, countless emotions in Pei Xinghe’s eyes.
Yet what he could see most clearly were the tears in those eyes.
"No... he clearly perished body and soul..."
Pei Xinghe’s hands caressed Zhong Heng’s face, cold and soft, rendering Zhong Heng extremely rigid.
He searched through all his memories, finding no trace of the woman before him.
Except earlier, he had somehow taken note of this Immortal having spoken that name.
"Even if it’s reincarnation, so what..."
"You are ultimately not him..."
A sigh reached Zhong Heng’s ear.
Pei Xinghe’s hand had already left Zhong Heng’s face. She turned away from him, her silhouette somewhat desolate.
"This is the Star River Sword Order; with it, you can instantly teleport to the Star River Grotto Heaven in Jiuzhou anytime, enjoying the privileges of a Direct Disciple of the Star River Sword Sect. You can also use it to contact me."
The Five Elements True Immortal observed the pair with a hint of thought.
Then cupped his hands to the surrounding Immortals, and the scene around them shifted again.
Zhong Heng found himself instantly returned to the Five Elements Grotto Heaven.
Zhong Heng glanced at the Five Elements Qiankun Gourd in his hands, still not retracted, feeling slightly bewildered.
Beside Zhong Heng.
Kong Hong and Kong Ling, one large and one small, were still in a confused state.
Kong Hong and Kong Ling, just recovering from their daze, attempted to speak, only to see Zhong Heng’s figure beside them.
Zhong Heng’s voice drew their gaze, and the two looked at Zhong Heng, stupefied, sheer bewilderment in their eyes.
The three of them exchanged looks, bewilderment evident in their gazes.
"What exactly happened?"
The same thought surfaced in all three minds.
Though much was described, actually only a dozen or so breaths passed during Zhong Heng’s ordeal.
"Where’s the Immortal?"
Kong Hong broke the silence.
"Yeah, where’s the Immortal?" Zhong Heng replied.
[You encountered the Five Elements True Immortal and learned the truth behind the legend of the Five Elements True Immortal.]
[Under the urging of the River Map Illusion, you finally followed the Five Elements True Immortal to the Realm of the End.]
[The Realm of the End, the location of the Apocalypse Rift, its existence surpasses the concept of ordinary space. It is both within Jiuzhou and the void.]
[Under the influence of the Qi of the Five Elements you offered, the sealing of the Apocalypse Rift accelerated once again.]
[In the Realm of the End, you saw the Five Spirits Immortal Venerable, Immortal Venerable Huihuang, and the legendary God-Demon List.]
[And your Vast Mist drew the attention of the Void Whale Immortal, who desired to kill you, yet a Sword Immortal emerged to save you, speaking words you did not understand; you felt bewildered.]
[After the Five Elements True Immortal brought you back to the True Immortal Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, he began seclusion, not even addressing you.]
[You originally wanted to ask about the Luo Book, yet now had no choice.]
