Chapter 1978 - 1971: Threatening the World Force
"Almost there!" Zhang Menglong saw that almost all the Alliance warriors had been infected by the enhanced G virus, and directly threw out the third test tube. The liquid in the test tube quickly spread, filling the crowd.
This test tube had no other function, the only effect was to make the G virus lose its infectious ability. This way, in battle, the Alliance warriors wouldn’t have to hold back out of fear of also infecting people from the Divine Profound Hall.
Everyone had almost turned into an Undying Body. On this point, they stood on the level line, but the Alliance warriors’ bodies had been strengthened by the G virus, something the Divine Profound Hall couldn’t compare with. A force surged in everyone’s hearts, and they suddenly became like the War God descending to Earth.
"Back then, just one Lei Poguan senior brother almost swept through the entire Divine Profound Hall. Today, I want to see how you can withstand over 8,000 Lei Poguans!"
The outer sect disciples of the Sunset Sect no longer hid this time. They directly unleashed their full power, using the third level of the Nine Nether Sunset Art. Although their comprehension wasn’t particularly high, not reaching the 1000-fold amplification limit, many had already reached four or five hundred times.
At their peak of Divine Cultivation, under Zhang Menglong’s training, their strength was already comparable to first or second grade Dao Realm warriors. With such amplification, unless they were against the Vice Hall Master of Divine Profound Hall, they could almost kill indiscriminately!
Wherever they went, the bodies of Divine Profound Hall warriors were thrown away like they were mounted on rapidly spinning tops. Warriors in the Divine Cultivation Realm couldn’t even get close to them, and Dao Realm warriors were being taken down with one punch each.
The battle was almost becoming one-sided.
Yet, even in this situation, Ji Ze didn’t seem terribly panicked. He just glanced now and then at a crystal on the ground, something brought out together with the War Soul Sail earlier. Even Zhang Menglong didn’t recognize it; it clearly wasn’t something he had brought out from the Ancient Cave Heaven.
"It seems the people from the Divine Profound Hall have had some sort of encounter these years," Zhang Menglong murmured to himself. That War Soul Sail earlier wasn’t from any current superpower either.
"Could it be he also found a treasure vault of an Ancient Cave Heaven?" Zhang Menglong had found many things in the underground space, but it didn’t necessarily include all the superpower heritages from the era of the Ancient Cave Heaven. If they entered, finding some elsewhere wasn’t impossible.
The Divine Profound Hall’s warriors were retreating steadily. Although they didn’t suffer many casualties with the power of that War Soul Sail, the disparity in strength was obvious. The Alliance warriors had almost reached the doorstep of their mountain gate.
"Everyone, let’s keep pushing and storm in!" The Alliance warriors fought with increasing vigor, as if the dawn of victory was right before their eyes.
"Something’s not right!" Zhang Menglong suddenly looked up at the sky. The weather was clearly clear just now, but at some point, it had become overcast.
Logically, this area constantly radiating energy should have been enough to blow away all the clouds. Clearly, these clouds were not rain, but something else!
Not only Zhang Menglong noticed this, but others also began to pick up on it, looking up at the sky with faces full of confusion.
"Hehehe, now you notice? It’s a bit late!" Ji Ze sneered wickedly, "Now it’s time for you to taste the terror of the World Force!"
A strange glow flashed on that crystal, and ultimately the clouds in the sky descended with thunder, covering all the disciples of the Divine Profound Hall.
However, upon being hit by these thunders, they showed no expression of pain or anguish; rather, they seemed to be enjoying it.
One warrior glanced at a rock on the ground, and that rock floated up, eventually transforming into various shapes like a Rubik’s Cube.
This wasn’t forcibly altering the shape of the rock with some power, but similar to a Creator’s force where God said to let there be light, and there was light; he said this stone should become spherical, and it became a sphere.
Although this was far from the level of a Creator God, it allowed them some control over the world to a certain extent.
"What is this? A trick!" An Alliance warrior, unable to contain himself, struck towards them.
Yet as soon as the energy from the strike left that warrior’s body, it immediately dissipated and astonishingly turned into the Divine Profound Hall’s emblem, floating into the air.
Seeing this scene, the people around Zhang Menglong were getting restless.
"This is... the World Emperor Crystal!"
"What’s that?" Zhang Menglong curiously asked.
"That’s the supreme treasure of an ancient power!" the Valley Master of Shennong Valley said. "I heard from my master about it. Once there was a faction that neither cultivated themselves nor explored martial arts, but rather studied something akin to metaphysics, trying to control the world and thus control everything!"
"Is this the World Force?"
"That’s right. As long as they mastered the World Force, they could alter the world to a certain extent, becoming the world’s rulers. Although they could never surpass this world, as long as they were within it, they were omnipotent."
"Well, a group of metaphysicians exploring the essence of the world? They’ve got something," Zhang Menglong praised, realizing they had indeed uncovered some things.
"Later, they tried to turn this power into a tool, ultimately creating this World Emperor Crystal. It could bestow the World Force upon designated people. Although it’s only a rudimentary World Force, when used cleverly in battle, the power it unleashes is unimaginable."
"World Force, huh?" Zhang Menglong muttered to himself, "Quite daring! You even dare to help the ones I’m up against!"
Lieyang, standing beside Zhang Menglong, glanced at him. What did he mean? What do you mean by daring to help the ones you’re up against? You’re indeed skilled, Gu Xiao, but not to the extent that even the World Force would be wary of you, right?
At that moment, Zhang Menglong searched himself and took out a jade pendant. This was something handed to him casually by Zhang Kai when they last connected, initially used to store things but had no purpose since.
But don’t forget, even if it now only had storage capabilities, it’s something once worn by an Ultimate Life Form, bearing some of its aura to some extent!
When Zhang Menglong brought it out, several people fixated their gaze on the jade pendant, each feeling an indescribable pressure.
"Hey, World Force, I know you’re everywhere, and I know you have your own will. Look at what I’m holding!" Zhang Menglong raised the jade pendant, "Take a good look, and ask yourself if you can afford to provoke the owner of this item. If you know what’s good for you, you’d better take back the World Force you’ve granted those people!"
"Otherwise... I’ll have my elder directly crush you, erase your will. Consider this; I’m giving you ten seconds. You can choose not to believe, or disregard my words as nonsense, but you’ll bear the consequences yourself!"
