Chapter 521 - 272: Earth’s Great Migration
As Yue Huazhang and Yue Gubai stared in shock.
VMM!
A figure suddenly stepped forth from upon the lotus leaf shimmering with purple light.
He wore a white robe, his hair was cut short and neat, and his face was handsome.
It was as if myriads of starry skies shimmered in his eyes.
Within them.
A River of Destiny also flowed, filled with profundity and mystery!
But upon a second glance, he appeared utterly ordinary, as if no different from a common person.
The newcomer was, of course, Wang Xiao, who had rushed back from the Starry Sky Sea where Wuji Mountain was located.
By constantly urging the Chaos Cyan Lotus onward, combined with his own Cultivation, he had managed to return in just a few months of Earth time.
He had also learned from his clone that Earth had been attacked by Yue Huazhang and Yue Gubai.
Furthermore, he knew his clone had been killed by Yue Huazhang.
That was why he had attacked without hesitation the moment he returned.
He looked at the two of them, his expression indifferent:
"I smell the stench of fear on you. So, you can feel fear after all?!"
Yue Huazhang narrowed his eyes:
"I never would have thought that someone from a minor, backwater planet could have such a heaven-defying opportunity to obtain an Immortal Object!"
"Hongmeng Star already knows that you possess an Immortal Object. Even if you kill us, you cannot escape your doom!"
At his side.
Yue Gubai spoke up:
"Fellow cultivator, if you let us go, we can give you two top-tier Marvels."
"If you kill us, we will shatter these Marvels even if it’s the last thing we do. You won’t get a thing!"
"Besides, a Tier Thirteen Life can pull us out of the River of Time and resurrect us. Killing us is pointless!"
Naturally, what he said was half-truth, half-lie.
The true part was that a Tier Thirteen Life could indeed utilize a portion of the River of Time’s power.
For example, they could pull someone from the past out of the River of Time, returning them to the moment before their death!
However, this came at a great cost.
The Tier Thirteen Life would suffer a backlash from the River of Time.
The higher the Tier of the life form they pulled out, the more severe the backlash.
Therefore, unless the person was extremely close to the Tier Thirteen Life, or had performed a great service for them.
It was practically impossible for a Tier Thirteen Life to use this ability.
He and Yue Huazhang were not important enough for a Tier Thirteen Life to rescue them.
He was only saying this to make Wang Xiao hesitate.
Of course.
They could indeed use the avatars they had left on Hongmeng Star to leak the news that the man before them possessed an Immortal Object.
When that time came.
Tier Twelve Life beings would undoubtedly come to this part of the Starry Sky!
Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes:
"Destroy the Marvels? You think too highly of yourself!"
He knew that the power contained within a Marvel was no less than that of a Tier Eleven Life.
It was nearly impossible for a Tier Eleven Life to destroy a Marvel in a short amount of time.
Even if they could.
Wang Xiao could instantly stop them with the Chaos Cyan Lotus!
He spoke no more. The Power of Destiny inside him surged violently.
The surrounding Starry Sky trembled, and even the Chaos Cyan Lotus erupted with a piercing purple light.
RUMBLE!
Countless purple lotus leaves suddenly swirled, then rapidly closed in, crushing down upon Yue Huazhang and Yue Gubai.
Naturally, the two would not just sit there and wait for death.
A blazing moon-like radiance erupted from both of them, illuminating the entire Starry Sky in a desperate, last-ditch struggle.
However.
Wang Xiao had broken through to his current level of a Tier Eleven Life using the utmost limits of his power.
On top of that.
He had also received personal guidance from a Tier Thirteen Life.
This was a tremendous stroke of luck, its value no less than that of a top-tier Marvel.
Based on these two points alone.
Even though Wang Xiao had only just broken through to become a Tier Eleven Life, he was far beyond what Yue Huazhang and Yue Gubai could compare to!
What’s more.
Wang Xiao also had the Immortal Object, the Chaos Cyan Lotus, to assist him, giving him an overwhelmingly crushing power!
VMMMM—
In a near instant.
The endless lotus leaves, which seemed to stretch through eternity, crushed the moon-like radiance of Yue Huazhang and his companion.
Then, with extreme force, it annihilated their physical bodies, Divine Souls, and even their True Spirits.
Furthermore, following the aura of their true bodies, the power spread across the endless Starry Sky, exterminating all of their clones as well!
Once one cultivated to become a Tier Eleven Life, if their true body was destroyed, their clones could absolutely not survive.
This was because...
...a Tier Eleven Life’s attacks targeted the opponent’s fortune, Destiny, and other such profound and mysterious auras!
Once their fortune was severed, it meant that all traces of that person’s past and future in this Cosmos were erased.
Naturally, that person’s clones could no longer exist.
Moreover.
Some people with lower Realms would no longer even remember anything about that person.
"AHH, you’ll regret this! You’ll die sooner or later too!"
"I can’t accept this!"
Yue Huazhang and Yue Gubai let out blood-curdling screams.
Then, they were swiftly annihilated beneath the leaves of the Chaos Cyan Lotus.
All that remained were their Marvels and Curiosities, which were gathered up by the Chaos Cyan Lotus.
Under the illumination of the Chaos Cyan Lotus’s purple light.
The auras upon them were instantly erased.
This was a unique ability of the Chaos Cyan Lotus, capable of erasing the aura attached to any item.
’Four Marvels, six Curiosities... these two Tier Eleven Life beings weren’t too wealthy.’
’However, these Marvels and Curiosities are all top-tier.’
Wang Xiao raised his hand and beckoned, drawing the Marvels and Curiosities into his grasp.
He knew that Tier Eleven Life beings generally didn’t carry too many treasures with them.
Those they did carry were typically ones that were of great help to them.
Just like him, he only had the Chaos Cyan Lotus and the Book of Space-Time on his person.
A Marvel like the Celestial Observation Cauldron was already useless to him.
’The Star Wheel... it can travel to any one of over a hundred star systems. This is a pretty good life-saving Magical Treasure.’
’No wonder this Yue Huazhang was so brazen. If I hadn’t sealed this region of space with the Chaos Cyan Lotus...’
’...I might not have been able to keep him here on my own!’
Wang Xiao planned to keep this Star Wheel for himself.
As for the rest, he could give them to Gu Tiandu and the others, or hand them over to the Book of Space-Time to be refined.
After refining the Door of All Wonders, the Book of Space-Time no longer reacted much to ordinary Curiosities and Marvels.
Giving it these Marvels and Curiosities to refine probably wouldn’t cause it to transform again.
Therefore.
Wang Xiao was more inclined to give the Marvels and Curiosities to Gu Tiandu and the others.
After all—
He had to participate in the great trial of the Myriad Realms later on, and someone had to guard Earth.
If Gu Tiandu and the others had a few more top-tier Marvels, their ability to protect themselves would be greatly enhanced.
Without thinking any further.
Wang Xiao took a step and quickly arrived in the star system where Earth was located.
His Divine Thought swept out, and looking at the devastated Earth, he let out a soft sigh.
The next moment.
He activated the Chaos Cyan Lotus and gently waved his hand!
VMMMM—
An endless stream of fortune suddenly surged forth, transforming into motes of power that descended upon Earth.
Immediately.
On Earth, the destroyed buildings, land, mountains, and rivers were all restored to their original state.
There was no difference from before.
Wang Xiao had now mastered the power of Creation from Nothingness and could preliminarily mobilize the core energy of the Starry Sky.
Restoring Earth to its original appearance was not too difficult a task.
He could even.
Use his own power to transform Earth into the most habitable environment possible.
There would be no more need to worry about Earth changing along with its external environment.
At this moment.
Gu Tiandu and the others, seeing Wang Xiao’s return, all flew out from Earth to his side.
"Wang Xiao, you returned just in time! If you had been a moment later, I’m afraid all of us, along with everyone on Earth, would have been reduced to ashes!"
Gu Tiandu said.
He had just felt the terrifying energy contained within that moon-like radiance.
Even his Chaos Sect would not have been able to escape!
If they had been hit by that radiance, they all would have been instantly vaporized.
"What about those two from the Outer Starry Sky?!"
"Wang Xiao, you didn’t... kill them both, did you?!"
The other Tier Nine Life beings also looked at Wang Xiao with curiosity.
Wang Xiao nodded:
"Yes. On my trip, I had a fortunate encounter and broke through to become a Tier Eleven Life. Those two from the Outer Starry Sky were also just Tier Eleven Life beings, so naturally, they were no match for me!"
He paused for a moment.
Then he continued:
"However, I revealed some secrets during my fight with them."
"I’m afraid we’ll have to carry out a great migration of Earth this time!"
