Chapter 520 - 272: The Great Earth Migration
In the silent starry sky.
ZWING!
A beam of sword light tore through the boundless void, suddenly slashing toward Yue Huazhang and his companion!
Within this sword light was a long river that flowed through past and present, shimmering with a verdant glow.
As Yue Huazhang and his companion watched the sword light slash toward them, their pupils constricted.
They could feel the immense Power of Qi emanating from it, a force that seemed poised to erase their past, present, and future entirely!
"Moonlight Celestial Wheel!"
"Moon Concealed in the Mists!"
Yue Huazhang and his companion were both great titans who had lived for tens of billions of years.
Although they were utterly astonished by the sudden appearance of the sword light, they both reacted in an instant.
Yue Huazhang waved his hand, and the crescent-shaped object in his grasp, which resembled a piece of fractured jade, suddenly erupted with a blazing light.
The next moment.
The light coalesced into a lustrous Bright Moon.
Within the Bright Moon, it seemed all of history, from antiquity to the present, was contained.
A myriad of phenomena vied for brilliance within, illuminating the starry sky.
It actually manifested a long river of its own, one that flowed with the aura of time, and slammed it violently into the beam of sword light!
At the same moment.
The middle-aged man beside Yue Huazhang, who appeared to be in his fifties, formed a seal with his hands.
Instantly, countless phantoms emerged, overlapping one another as they pierced through the past, present, and future!
Each figure emanated an aura powerful enough to crush any Tier Ten Life.
These figures strode out from infinite spacetime, seemingly wielding the power of an entire starry sky as they blasted toward the incoming sword light!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Bright Moon and the infinite figures appeared at almost the same time!
Both collided with the sword light that pierced the starry sky in an instant!
Tens of billions of Space Layers roiled violently before being torn asunder.
An expanse of space hundreds of light-years across seemed to plunge into Silent Extinction.
Countless meteoroids and planets were torn apart, letting out a sky-shaking roar before being instantly pulverized into dust.
The next moment.
The endless Bright Moon and the infinite figures were ground down by the sword light and dissipated completely.
The river flowing with the aura of time within it was cleaved in two by the sword.
The expressions on Yue Huazhang and the middle-aged man in his fifties changed drastically, and they instantly retreated several thousand light-years!
They could only feel that the power contained within this sword strike far surpassed the power of the River of Destiny they could control.
In a mere instant, it had almost annihilated their True Spirits.
Fortunately, they reacted quickly enough to escape and avoid the full impact.
Even so, the brief exchange still caused them to lose a portion of their Origin.
It would likely take a hundred million years to recover.
"This person’s strength is extraordinary. Although he hasn’t reached the level of a Tier Twelve Life, he can already sense the aura of the River of Time. His River of Destiny has even transformed three times. Combined with his Magic Techniques, the two of us are no match for him."
The middle-aged man, who appeared to be in his fifties, said with a grim expression.
His name was Yue Gubai, and he was Yue Huazhang’s great-uncle.
He was also Yue Huazhang’s Guardian.
As one of the top two geniuses in their clan, Yue Huazhang had a high probability of achieving Tier Twelve in the future.
Therefore, if necessary, he would have to sacrifice himself to allow Yue Huazhang to escape.
Yue Huazhang narrowed his eyes and said,
"I never would have thought this person would be only a step away from becoming a Tier Twelve Life. Is he also a being from the Outer Starry Sky? Why is he attacking us?!"
Yue Gubai spoke,
"The aura he just revealed was somewhat similar to the avatar from that native planet we just killed. This must be the avatar’s true self."
"The two of us have made an enemy of this person. A peaceful resolution is impossible now. I’ll hold him off in a moment. You use the Moon Wheel and leave this starry sky immediately."
The two of them finished their exchange in an instant.
Yue Huazhang didn’t say anything more. He took out the crescent-shaped object and fiercely activated it.
In a flash.
The crescent-shaped object shone with pure moonlight, and within it, an unfamiliar starry sky appeared, about to envelop Yue Huazhang.
This Moon Wheel was a peak-grade Marvel.
Not only could it tear through the barriers between starry skies, but it could also transport him to any adjacent one.
Of course.
The distance between this starry sky and his destination could not exceed one hundred starry skies.
He knew from the recent exchange that he was no match for their attacker, so he decisively chose to retreat!
Having lived for so many years, he had long since learned not to engage in blind, pointless battles.
If he was going to fight, he had to win!
Otherwise, it was just asking for humiliation.
However, just as he was about to leave—
BUZZ!
A lotus leaf, shimmering with purple light, appeared in the surrounding void.
This purple lotus leaf pulsed with a unique aura.
This aura permeated the universe, pierced through past and present, and completely sealed off the entire starry sky.
It even caused the Moon Wheel in Yue Huazhang’s hand to dim until it lost all its luster.
"How is this possible?! My Moon Wheel is a peak-grade Marvel! Not even a Tier Twelve Life could necessarily stop it! How did he do this!"
Yue Huazhang’s expression changed drastically.
He felt as if his connection to all other starry skies had been severed in an instant.
He was completely trapped!
Yue Gubai’s face also turned extremely grim as he said with great solemnity,
"It’s... It’s an Immortal Object! This person actually possesses an Immortal Object! How is that possible? How could a remote starry sky possibly contain an Immortal Object!"
Immortal Objects held immense appeal even for Tier Twelve Life.
Even a Cosmic Level power like theirs possessed only a few Immortal Objects.
To think that a native from a remote starry sky would actually have one!
