Chapter 2025: Completely Surrounded
Wang Chen forced the female living being back in a graceful manner, giving him the air of an exceptional sword immortal.
Whoosh!
A dazzling sword projection broke through the female living being’s defenses in an extremely intricate manner before inflicting a gash on her arm, from which white blood spurted forth.
Wang Chen stood proudly in the air and said in an indifferent voice, “You’re no match for me.”
This woman was indeed very powerful, but there was still a clear gap between the two of them.
Through this battle, he was able to verify that he was still one of the most powerful beings in this world.
Thinking back, Immortal King An Lin of the past was about on par with this woman’s power. When An Lin had arrived on the Divine Source Continent, he had been revered by countless immortal and built an extraordinary legacy. However, in his heart, An Lin’s era was a thing of the distant past, and the new Immortal Kings were the true rulers of the Divine Source Continent.
Wang Chen was just about to finish this battle and slay his opponent when he suddenly sensed several extremely powerful auras approaching them.
“Hmm? What’s this…” He looked at the dense groups of black dots flying over from all directions, and his calm facade finally cracked a little. “How are there so many of these powerful beings?!”
He discovered that there were now five more beings emanating auras that were comparable to his current opponent!
The other hundred or so Exalted Immortals were no slouches either, and they had also discovered this.
As such, their disdain and arrogance toward the living beings of this world had completely disappeared and were replaced by shock and incredulity.
“How is this possible?! How could there be so many more Immortal King Stage powerful beings?!” Shi Zhen let loose a cry of surprise.
“There are only three Immortal King Stage powerful beings on our entire Divine Source Continent, but there are six here already? Even though they’re slightly weaker than our Immortal Kings, we might not be able to hold them off if they attack all at once… And then there’s their army of several million powerful beings…” Ouyang Tai was trembling with fear.
The two Immortal King Stage cultivators, He Shen and Yan Ji, also wore extremely grave expressions. Things had clearly progressed beyond their expectations.
“A white sea and a massive divine tree… We must have emerged in the core of this world’s power, which explains why there are so many top-rate powerful beings here…” Yan Ji analyzed in a grim voice.
“We can’t keep fighting like this. We have to negotiate a truce with them. If things continue like this, both sides will suffer severe casualties.” He Shen’s brows were tightly furrowed.
He didn’t think that they would fall prey to such a terrifying force as soon as they appeared in this new world.
He Shen made his way over to the five oncoming, powerful winged humans and announced in a voice as loud as the strike of a gong, “Fellow cultivators, we did not intentionally trespass on this place. We are feeling very apologetic about our intrusion, and we’re willing to provide compensation, so I hope we can let bygones be bygones…”
“Let bygones be bygones?” The approaching winged living beings were baffled by this offer.
“Sure, we can do that.” One of the tall and handsome winged living beings smiled. The other powerful beings also flew toward He Shen with friendly expressions.
He Shen put on a friendly smile of his own. He had already unleashed his aura just then, so these winged beings were presumably intimidated by his power. Furthermore, there was no need for a battle to the death over something as insignificant as this, and a peaceful ending would be ideal for both sides.
The winged living beings began to approach He Shen.
All of them wore smiles on their faces and surreptitiously formed a triangular formation.
The three most powerful winged living beings suddenly adopted sinister smiles as their auras surged forth in a frenzy. Their energy converged in a special structure, thereby creating a devastating force.
“Do you think we’re retarded?”
“Die, lowly humans!”
A fierce roar erupted, and an extremely formidable power of the heavens crashed down upon He Shen in the form of a cylindrical pillar of energy.
He Shen managed to unleash his divine water defensive barrier just in the nick of time, but that pillar of energy was simply unstoppable, and it tore through the divine water barrier before crashing heavily into his body, causing his chest to cave in and tear open.
“Pfff…” He Shen threw up a mouthful of blood and was severely wounded as his body shot back like a cannonball.
The three powerful winged beings immediately gave chase.
“Die die die!”
“Kill all of the humans!”
All of the immortals were shocked.
“He Shen!” Yan Ji rose into the sky amid a storm of scorching flames. She swept a hand through the air toward the oncoming winged living beings, and balls of fire flew toward them before exploding in the air like a series of nuclear bombs.
Boom boom boom!
Earth-shattering explosions of fire erupted.
An Immortal King Stage immortal was still very powerful and managed to keep the three winged living beings at bay with that attack.
However, Wang Chen was in a much less fortunate situation.
Two of the winged powerful beings joined the woman that he had been fighting, and together, they formed a special three-person battle formation. Thus, their combat prowess swelled drastically, and they were beating the crap out of Wang Chen.
White light imbued with the power of the heavens fell like the sharpest sabers and swords that were able to pierce through all power. Wang Chen’s calm facade had completely shattered now, and he could no longer maintain his poise and composure. The pillars of white light were striking and puncturing his body relentlessly, and he soon sustained severe wounds.
“Hurry up and get into formation! Set up the Hundred Immortal Formation!” He Shen yelled.
All of the Exalted Immortals’ eyes lit up upon hearing this, and all of them got into position as a peculiar black and white formation began to appear in the air. Each Return to Void Stage Exalted Immortal was positioned on a node on the formation while the three Dao Integration Stage Immortal Kings were positioned at the core of the formation. At the same time, a burst of boundless immortal might began to surge forth.
Boom boom boom!
The attacks from the winged powerful beings fell upon the formation, but they were all kept at bay.
A formation created by over a hundred Return to Void Stage Exalted Immortals and three Dao Integration Stage Immortal Kings was not that easy to break open. This was the trump card they had prepared specifically for their trip to this new world!
The confidence of the Exalted Immortals was finally restored somewhat.
These winged living beings had almost beaten them senseless.
“What do they have against us? Why do they insist on killing us?” Yan Ji’s gorgeous features were filled with confusion and fury.
“Our top priority now is to escape and find An Lin as soon as possible. An Lin is the sect leader of the Four Nine Immortal Sect in this world. We’ll be safe once we find him,” Yang Lingqian suggested.
“An Lin?” Shi Zhen chuckled. “Are you kidding me? An Lin is only a weaker Immortal King Stage cultivator at most. We have three Immortal King Stage powerful beings and over a hundred Exalted Immortals here, but we’re still no match for this force. How is he going to be able to protect us?”
Ouyang Tai also shook his head. “Furthermore, this is most likely not the extent of the true power of these winged living beings. How is An Lin going to stand against them? Ms. Yang Lingqian, I understand that you revere An Lin, but please be more logical…”
However, He Shen offered a different opinion, “In any case, it’s always a good thing to have more allies. After we escape from this place, we should seek out An Lin and ask him about this world.”
“Let’s focus on getting out of here first!” Yan Ji was getting quite concerned at the sight of more and more winged living beings gathering to bombard their formation.
Thus, the Exalted Immortals controlled the Hundred Immortal Formation and quickly fled toward the north.
This formation was indeed quite a powerful one. There were six Immortal King Stage enemies, but they were still unable to break the formation. All they could do was continue to exert pressure upon them in order to slow them down.
Right at this moment, a voice imbued with the might of the gods erupted in the heavens. Just hearing that voice struck all of the immortals with a sense of fear.
“You want to get away after coming to the Central Heavenly Gate? You can all stay here!”
