Chapter 647 - 640: Transfer
In less than half a minute, Chen Qingmu’s injured body had completely recovered.
SWOOSH!
He moved lightly, leaping up from the ground. As he looked at Zhou Yuanjue, an expression of utter disbelief filled his eyes.
Normally, an injury like this would have taken him months to recover from, but now...
’Just what level have his abilities reached? It’s completely beyond imagination. Even a full-fledged Ancestral Level being is no match for him.’
"What in the world happened during these past three years?"
The Chief Commissioner took a deep breath and asked Zhou Yuanjue.
He was incredibly curious about what Zhou Yuanjue could have possibly experienced to undergo such a heaven-and-earth-shattering transformation in power in just three years.
"So, I was in the True Realm for three years?"
"For you to have held out this long, you must have paid a heavy price."
Zhou Yuanjue remarked with a sigh, finally getting the timeline straight.
For the human Martial Artists to have survived for three years and still retain so much of their strength, given their power level back then, was a truly remarkable feat.
Just then, Zhou Yuanjue’s brow twitched. He turned his head, looking toward the northwest of Donghua.
A powerful wave of Energy rippled outward. When a full-power Ancestral Level being completely unleashed its strength, the disturbance was impossible to conceal.
The faces of the Chief Commissioner and the others changed slightly. They knew the battle at Kunlun Immortal Palace to the northwest had begun.
Although Zhou Yuanjue had ended the battle on the eastern front with overwhelming power, at this very moment, battles were erupting in the northwest and even in multiple regions across the globe. The assault of a full-power Ancestral Level being would be nearly impossible to stop.
And Zhou Yuanjue, no matter how strong he was, was still only one person.
If multiple Primordial Ancestors were to gather, even Zhou Yuanjue would likely feel the pressure.
"Everyone, this is no time for idle chit-chat. I have to get to the next battlefield."
Zhou Yuanjue said, turning to the Chief Commissioner and the others.
"But... we’re at least several thousand kilometers from the Kunlun Mountain Range... Even if you leave now, I’m afraid it’ll be too late to help."
The Chief Commissioner said with a wry smile.
"A distance of several thousand kilometers... That would certainly be a massive drain on energy."
Zhou Yuanjue nodded. He reached for the tactical satchel made from his own cells, pulled out a small handful of new-model Energy Crystals, and popped them into his mouth.
He appeared relaxed on the surface, but in truth, both using the Sacred Lotus Structure to channel the Rebirth Ability of the two realms to neutralize enemy attacks and proliferating massive numbers of cells that contained the essence of the Sacred Lotus Structure and possessed the properties of the True Realm required immense amounts of Energy.
Even the Celestial Demon Ancestors had to pay a steep price to mobilize the Power of the True Realm to such an extent.
The drain on Zhou Yuanjue’s internal Energy was naturally substantial, but he still had ample reserves.
The journey from this battlefield to Kunlun Immortal Palace spanned nearly the entirety of Donghua, a distance of several thousand kilometers. Even if a True Realm Jump could negate distance to some degree, it still required an immense expenditure of one’s own power.
Even for someone like Zhou Yuanjue, crossing such a vast distance would incur a massive cost.
However, such a cost was well within his means.
"Everyone, we’ll talk more when I get back."
Zhou Yuanjue said with a smile.
VMMMM!!
Then, a vast power that the Chief Commissioner and the others could neither perceive nor comprehend began to emanate from his body. The space around him seemed to twist, gradually forming a vortex like a black hole.
Zhou Yuanjue took a single step into the vortex, his figure vanishing completely into the darkness.
Then, the vortex vanished. Space returned to its tranquil state, without a single ripple.
It was as if Zhou Yuanjue had never been there at all.
’Is this...’
’Can he really use this method to cross thousands of kilometers of space in an instant?!’
They immediately recalled Zhou Yuanjue’s initial arrival. Back then, they had assumed it was just some other ability he possessed. Now it seemed he had just used a similar method to instantly traverse a vast distance, allowing him to reach the battlefield at such a critical moment.
"An ability that can even traverse space... I can’t even begin to imagine it."
Chen Qingmu shook his head with a wry smile.
"To cross such a vast distance in an instant... I wonder what the energy cost is. If the cost is manageable, does that mean he could even use this method to traverse the vastness of outer space and journey into the depths of the universe..."
Zhang Zhizhen speculated aloud, his expression somewhat complicated.
The others fell silent at his words, suddenly recalling the origin of the Celestial Demons. ’The Celestial Demons of old... they probably used a similar method to descend upon Earth, didn’t they?’
Now, Zhou Yuanjue had already reached, or perhaps even surpassed, the realm of the Celestial Demon Ancestors. His power was beginning to transcend this tiny planet, reaching out into the boundless expanse of the cosmos.
It was truly mind-boggling.
...
...
「Meanwhile, in the northwest of Donghua, at Kunlun Immortal Palace.」
Inside the Sealing Realm Image, Tu Junshan, the Northwest Guardian, was resisting the Celestial Demon’s assault. He wielded the Misty Moon Treasure Mirror, a Holy Artifact of the Moon Race, and held a longsword forged from the flesh of Zhou Yuanjue. With his own power immersed in the Far East Earth Vein, he combined his terrifying strength with that of the Sealing Realm Image.
Surrounding him were numerous Spirit Guardians and Martial Artists from Donghua, all continuously channeling their power into him to maintain the Sealing Realm Image.
Outside the Sealing Realm Image, Ji stood clad in a qipao that perfectly outlined her flawless figure. Her pristine, perfect face was turned toward the Sealing Realm Image, her expression grave.
On the other side, a colossal black shadow stretching for thousands of meters connected the heavens and the earth. It resembled a writhing serpent, with two enormous wings unfurled from a vital point on its serpentine body.
This entity, like a primeval behemoth, seemed capable of dominating the very souls of mortals. Wreathed in immense power, it relentlessly battered the Sealing Realm Image. The pressure on those within was immense; people were constantly coughing up blood, some even collapsing, unable to rise.
But despite this seemingly advantageous position, the grave expression on Ji’s face did not change in the slightest.
Because, just moments ago, she had received a message sent across a great distance from the Master of Nightmares.
The contents of the message sent an uncontrollable chill down her spine.
Zhou Yuanjue had escaped the True Realm and appeared on the eastern battlefield. He seemed to wield the formidable Power of the True Realm and had single-handedly turned the tide of the battle. The full-power Master of Desolation was suspected to have been sealed by him using some special method.
Not even a full-power Primordial Ancestor could stop him. Even if the Master of Desolation was on the weaker side, he was still a being who wielded the Power of the True Realm. For him to meet such a miserable end... she couldn’t imagine just how terrifying that man had become.
’Damn it, why is he so persistent?!’
’I have to break the Seal as quickly as possible, retrieve my power, and leave immediately. We can regroup and strategize later.’
’Fortunately, we’re a long way from the eastern front. After that battle, he probably won’t be able to... ’
Ji muttered to herself. But before she could finish her thought, her perfect body, clad in its qipao, suddenly went rigid.
A vortex, imperceptible to ordinary people, had appeared behind her.
