Chapter 459: Devour
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
The arrival of the comet was miraculous!
Fang Yuan finally understood how the destruction of a realm tasted like.
"Poof!"
The moment the Spiritual King Comet crashed into the East Sea, almost every cultivator turned unconscious momentarily. They then immediately spat out a mouthful of blood due to the interference from the chaotic surge in spiritual energy.
"Kababoom!"
The earth cracked while the mountains and rivers roared!
Under the starry skies, one could see a gigantic white hole appearing far in the ocean. Land submerged for an extremely long time was uncovered and it was even expanding outwards continuously.
The resultant mega-earthquakes and tsunamis impacted the entire realm mercilessly and all big three continents were affected.
'In actual fact... with Planet Earth's endurance, a mere 10 kilometres wide comet would be nothing much. But to the ecology on its surface, it would be a catastrophe...'
"Kacha!"
The array cracked immediately. Fang Yuan stood firmly but did not do anything. As he felt the tremendous changes in the spiritual droplets in the surroundings, he sighed, "With this surge, I'm afraid there would definitely be great changes to the ecology and environment of the entire realm. The chances of normal people surviving this are extremely low..."
Long Lizi and Venerable Moonchaser felt slightly alarmed.
Previously, they thought Fang Yuan would have malicious intentions and would obstruct their grand scheme. But now, Fang Yuan did not even stop them nor did he appear exasperated too, which made them felt rather suspicious.
"Nevermind... haha! We have succeeded!"
Long Lizi suddenly exclaimed in a deafening voice.
As long as the Spiritual Realm could be connected, the amount of spiritual energy in Planet Earth would remain high. A mere otherworldly demon would then be of no threat!
However, Farquhar's face was solemn and the holy light on his body quivered.
Farquhar's life relied on religious faith. Faced with such a catastrophe, many of his believers were praying and there were even more believers who died. All these were like weapons which damaged the faith.
"Of course!"
Venerable Moonchaser replied and waved his magical weapon. A light screen then appeared which depicted the model of Planet Earth.
Through this model, the nodes of the array in the three big continents could be seen shining brightly. They kept converging in the vast ocean and with the Spiritual King Comet as their main body, they emitted a dazzling yet blinding light.
Within it, the slender silhouette of a blue dragon could be seen swimming around it. It had the purpose of mediating it.
"Now's the time!"
Long Lizi suddenly said that odd line.
"Such an array isn't even necessary to bring over the Spiritual King Comet..."
Fang Yuan stood up with his hands behind his back and exclaimed, "What's next is your real motive, am I right?"
"That's right!"
At the next moment, Long Lizi, Venerable Moonchaser, Evil Killing Dhuta and several other high-tiered cultivators suddenly bit the tip of their tongues to activate the array with their blood.
"Sacrificing the natural source to connect with the Spiritual Realm!"
"Kacha! Kacha!"
The moment after they spoke, grey clouds loomed in the sky. Thunder and lightning flashed rapidly, the purple coloured storm eye of heavenly tribulations appeared and brought about violet lightning bolts!
This was the heavenly punishment! It was from the anger of the natural source of this realm! It was enraged as it was betrayed by its own people!
"I... Farquhar!"
"I... Curtly! Jon!"
The powerful beings at 4th tier from all over the East Continent and West Continent swore their oath, "With our holy names, we sacrifice the natural source of the East and West Continent to contact the Spiritual Realm!"
"Rumble!"
Under the influence of the array, earthquakes kept happening in the three big continents.
The numerous nodes formed a giant network which was like a giant invisible net that enveloped everything. It then suddenly condensed and dove deep into the earth and began extracting streaks of that mysterious natural source of the realm. The streaks of energy then gathered atop the Spiritual King Comet.
By making use of the large impact caused by the crash of the comet, the will of Planet Earth was severely damaged. Furthermore, by sacrificing its natural source, the lightning in the skies became weaker at once and was barely striking down.
"How ruthless indeed! They first severely damaged the will of the realm before extracting its natural source! They are so familiar with their ploy!"
Fang Yuan's eyes widened as he saw such and he was also continuously collecting data from the surroundings.
It would be very foolish for Fang Yuan to strike back against all these powerful beings who joined hands. Thus, it was wiser for him to silently observe first.
"Kacha!"
"Kaboom!"
Nevertheless, although the realm's will was already severely damaged and weakened, a few heavenly punishments still struck down mercilessly.
However, it was no longer the violet coloured lightning just now! It was now the purple-gold thunderbolt of heavenly punishment!
Although the lightning's grade was now slightly lower than before, even Long Lizi still fearfully whipped out his magical equipment and scapegoats as he began to cautiously tide through the tribulation.
"Crackle! Kaboom!"
This time, they had certainly crossed the line and enraged the realm. Purple-gold coloured thunderbolts struck continuously and it even struck nine times in a row at the start. The weakest 4th tier cultivator was severely injured and blood gushed out from his orifices.
"Great opportunity!"
Fang Yuan's eyes lit up and he immediately turned into a stream of light before arriving in front of this cultivator at once. Fang Yuan's giant Pangu Eagle Body appeared behind his back as he violently punched this cultivator.
"Bang!"
A giant mist of blood erupted in mid-air. This unfamiliar 4th tier cultivator turned into dust at once as its body and soul ceased to exist after being attacked by the lightning and Fang Yuan's fist.
"You are courting death!"
Long Lizi and others were furious. However, they had a more important task on hand and obviously had no time to kill Fang Yuan!
Fang Yuan moved backwards and slowly appreciated the feeling he was currently feeling.
Originally, when the heavenly punishments struck, since Fang Yuan was an otherworldly demon, he felt numbness on his head and skin as though he was stared intently by the will of this realm.
However, since Fang Yuan had never harmed this realm before and even killed its enemy which displayed his loyalty to this realm, he was let off by the lightning at last.
...
Deep within the seas.
The blue dragon king's body was surrounded by glowing light. His body had already expanded to over 1000 yards long.
At that moment, the waters nearby him had already become a sea of blood. Broken limbs and bones could be seen everywhere.
These were all the dragon king's loyal subordinates. As their cultivation was insufficient, they were killed by the collision of the Spiritual King Comet forcefully brought about by the array.
"Giant tsunamis are crashing onto the continents, I guess not even 10% of living things can survive?"
As the blue dragon king pondered, he did not seem very bothered by it and instead, he rushed towards the Spiritual King Comet.
"Has it succeeded?"
A bizarre spiritual aura suddenly appeared on that spot. It brought about an indescribable sense of attraction that made the dragon king want to go after it even if it risked its life.
The closer he got to the crater, the spiritual energy in the surroundings became even denser. It almost became a liquid that filled the entire ocean.
Just by submerging in it, the Sea Dragon King felt as though it could break through the bottleneck of his water dragon body and begin transforming into a true dragon. He was excited. "Indeed... only the Spiritual Realm is the real home for us!"
As the dragon king hollered, it went to the core of the giant crater like a piercing arrow.
At that spot, the strange position of the Spiritual King Comet could be seen. Half of it was above the ground and streaks of green coloured vessels extended from it which fused with the gigantic array of the three big continents. It was like humans' blood vessel systems as it continuously pulsed and absorbed energy.
The space surrounding the comet became misty. This was the aftereffects of such a powerful impact, whereby the space surrounding was on the brink of collapsing.
"Kacha!"
At last.
After absorbing an unknown amount of energy from the natural source, a stream of green coloured light appeared on top of the Spiritual King Comet. The stream of light then shot up the skies and broke through space like an extremely sharp sword.
The sound of glass shattering could be heard.
Lots of cracks appeared in the surroundings and they suddenly shattered at once. It was as though a funnel was broken and large amounts of spiritual energy surged over.
"This is... breaking the boundaries of a higher dimension!"
Tears began to well in the blue dragon king's eyes as it watched, "Spiritual Realm! The Spiritual Realm... is arriving!"
In the shattered space, the image of a world appeared.
This was a vast and blue-green coloured world. Its sun, moon, stars, mountains, valleys, grass and trees all had spiritual properties. Suddenly, a corner appeared and extended from this image which then connected with this realm.
"Rumble!"
Rocks and soil appeared out of thin air and with the Spiritual King Comet as its core, an island was formed in this realm. The island was continuously expanding and becoming larger as time passes.
In this realm, even a 5th Tier Divine Refining Grade powerful being could only create a prosperous land at most.
To be able to appear in this realm and create the intersecting points of this two realm was already way beyond the Sea Dragon King's imagination.
"Kacha!"
The moment this island appeared, Planet Earth Realm was livid.
The surroundings stagnated at once and hundreds of purple-gold coloured lightning struck at the same time. It was as though it was trying to annihilate this entire island.
"It's too late!"
A mighty and horrifying thought emerged from the Spiritual King Island. Accompanied by a holler, large amounts of green coloured lightning appeared on top of the island and struck together with the purple-gold lightning bolts. At last, they even spread to the outsides of the island.
"The might of the heavenly tribulation is weakened..."
The Sea Dragon King was elated. "Indeed, once the two worlds coincide, the will of the Spiritual Realm will have an overwhelming advantage! Thus, we are not traitors but pioneers of new land!"
The dragon king did not hesitate any longer and charged towards the island, "The Sea Dragon King pays his respects to the Spiritual Realm's will! We obeyed the will of the heavens and spent a thousand year planning for it! It has finally succeeded today..."
"Kacha!"
What answered the dragon king was a blue-green coloured bolt of lightning.
Under this flash of lightning, even the Sea Dragon King could not dodge it. The dragon corpse was severed into two halves and landed on the island with blood gushing out. It was then immediately devoured by the island.
"Why... I'm a... pioneer..."
A soul appeared and the Sea Dragon King's dumbfounded expression could be seen.
However, at the next moment, another bolt of lightning struck mercilessly and turned the soul into ashes.
After it devoured the Sea Dragon King, it was as though the Spiritual King Island just ate an extremely nourishing pill as it began to expand.
The humongous island devoured the seawaters, space and everything in this Planet Earth Realm as it rapidly expanded outwards.
"Impossible!"
"How could it be?"
High above the skies of Huiming City, after the Spiritual King Realm really appeared and severely injured the will of Planet Earth, the heavenly tribulations were greatly weakened and slowly disappeared.
As Long Lizi and others watched the scene where the Sea Dragon King died, they all had the same stunned expression on their faces. There was no grief as great as despair.
"Just as I expected. In order to take, one must first give..."
On the other hand, Fang Yuan's eyes sparkled as he appeared cheery, "No matter how abundant spiritual energy is inside the Spiritual Realm, it would not easily give it to others nor allow others to take it easily. By providing this realm with spiritual energy, it was merely casting a bait. Now that the bait is taken up, it would obviously harvest it all! The natural source and powerful beings of this realm are merely just... food in the eyes of this Spiritual Realm!!!"
