Chapter 1919 - 1923: Confidence
The Heavenly Lord initiated the Heavenly Lord’s Horn, leading the islands of Thirty-Three Heavens in a grand assault towards Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng’s location.
One could say that along the way, they would kill gods if gods stand in the path, kill Buddhas if Buddhas block the path!
The islands without a core were not even dodged by the Heavenly Lord’s island group; a single cannonball took care of them, allowing unobstructed passage.
Meanwhile, similarly, Gourd Island, Sword Island, and Blood Continent were all actively preparing for war.
Having completely mastered the core of Gourd Island, Lu Xiaobu also possessed the ability to move islands.
However, he chose not to move and instead opted for normal pre-war preparations.
"Young Master, according to your hypothesis, this time the Heavenly Lord will surely mobilize fully. How should we organize our defenses?"
Liang Lan frowned while pondering over the scant amount of information.
They received very little information, most of which came from Iron Axe.
Nonetheless, from this information, they learned of the existence of Thirty-Three Heavens and the Heavenly Lord’s Horn.
This power was extremely formidable, so mighty that it brought a sense of suffocation!
𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
And that did not even account for the islands being gradually absorbed into the outer forces!
This force definitely possessed the power to engulf the world.
"No, no rush! Our next task is not to handle Thirty-Three Heavens but to gather the islands deployed by the ten thousand Iron Cavalry!"
Lu Xiaobu shook his head, eyes sparkling with ongoing contemplation.
"What?!"
Liang Lan was stunned upon hearing this news.
Not continuing to counterattack Thirty-Three Heavens, but rather taking initiative to conquer islands?
Not just Liang Lan, everyone participating in the discussion was bewildered.
"Lord Lu, why is this? Our strength is already insufficient to counter Thirty-Three Heavens, let alone dispersing our forces would make it even harder." Xin Lifeng asked incredulously.
"Yes, not only that, once we attack other islands, our location will be completely exposed!"
Dawa also frowned, advising, "Currently, the only island capable of position movement is Gourd Island. If detected, it will be problematic!"
"No, we actually have quite a bit of time." Lu Xiaobu squinted and said, "If there are no surprises, the Heavenly Lord’s first choice for attack will surely be Lin Feng. The more we develop, the less attention the Heavenly Lord will give us!"
"Huh? Why would the Heavenly Lord first attack Lin Feng?!" Everyone looked at Lu Xiaobu in disbelief.
"That’s incorrect, Lord Lu." Xin Lifeng was the first to object. "We plundered a layer of Spirit Realm, which is outright slapping the Heavenly Lord’s face and damaging his foundation!"
"As the Heavenly Lord, his primary concern should be us!"
"After all, if our method is spread, the Heavenly Lord’s possible outcome would be a fatal attack destroying his millennia-long foundation!"
"In contrast, Lin Feng is different. He merely controlled number five and injured number two. Although it’s a slap in the face, it’s not a loss to his great enterprise!"
Xin Lifeng’s viewpoint gained unanimous approval on the spot.
"I think Island Master Xin’s words make sense!" Sao Bao the Local Snake nodded, "Although I don’t know what happened specifically in the Spirit Realm, based on destructiveness, we pose a greater threat!"
"No! You’re neglecting one thing!" Lu Xiaobu shook his head.
"What thing?" Everyone was puzzled.
"What is Lin Feng’s basis for daring to declare war?!" Lu Xiaobu’s eyes revealed an investigative look.
"I dare to declare war because I’ve mastered a layer of the Spirit Realm, which carries one of the core powers of this world. That’s my basis!"
"Certainly, this is also the Heavenly Lord’s foundation for laying out the heavens!"
"So although the Heavenly Lord would be angry at what I did, wanting to kill me, but..."
Lu Xiaobu smiled as he observed everyone’s reactions.
"Young Master, are you saying that while the Heavenly Lord is angry with us, he understands our basis, can prepare against it, and may even potentially counter it!" Liang Lan seemed to understand, her eyes becoming brighter.
"However, Lin Feng is different. His basis is not this core power but something unknown to the Heavenly Lord, which even controlled number five and harmed number two!" Dawa muttered, deep in thought.
"Fear arises from the unknown. As the high and mighty Heavenly Lord, laying out the heavens, the last thing he’d want to see is something beyond his control! So, even if he’s angry, he’ll attack Lin Feng first, at least to probe what Lin Feng’s basis is!" Sao Bai the Local Snake also seemed to understand.
"And we can utilize the time difference as much as possible to develop ourselves! Because the Heavenly Lord won’t send the main forces to attack us, at most, he’ll send peripheral forces to invade us!" Xin Lifeng clenched his fist, "And if they’re just small fry, we have nothing to fear of them!"
"So, act quickly!" Lu Xiaobu commanded. "Although the main forces won’t come, the massive peripheral forces will surely choose to besiege us step by step."
"And the more resources we acquire during this time, the more robust our development will be, which could be advantageous for the future situation!"
"As for the main forces, let’s leave them to Lin Feng to handle! Moreover, it’s not just the Heavenly Lord wanting to attack Lin Feng; Lin Feng is probably planning to attack as well!"
"After all, Lin Feng is not the type to be content with stability. From his words, I roughly guess he’s following a plunder-style development mode, which is unsustainable and must be maintained through battles!"
"So even if the Heavenly Lord doesn’t proactively attack Lin Feng, Lin Feng would probably take initiative against the Heavenly Lord!"
After hearing Lu Xiaobu’s arrangement, everyone understood what needed to be done next and hurriedly dispersed.
Lu Xiaobu remained seated, fingers gently tapping his head: "Lin Feng, oh Lin Feng, not only is the Heavenly Lord curious, but I am also curious. What exactly is your basis?"
At this level of battle, one must control core-level power!
Yet both Lu Xiaobu and the Heavenly Lord knew Lin Feng hadn’t done much in the Spirit Realm!
Without utilizing the Spirit Realm, how does he wield power comparable to a core?!
Suddenly, a flash of insight came to Lu Xiaobu’s mind, as a matter emerged into his thinking!
That is the formation of Blood Continent!
It’s known that Blood Continent isn’t in this world, but was relocated by Bai Qi into a small space through special means!
Since Bai Qi could move an entire island using this method, does it mean that a similar method could sever contact from reality rather than through Spirit Realm?!
Blood! The red glow from the explosion of number five in the Spirit Realm?!
Lu Xiaobu instantly understood, but then he chuckled bitterly: "Lin Feng, have you been preparing for this over two years? Unbelievable how much life you actually ended! Or how many small worlds you annihilated?!"
