Chapter 1860 - 1861: The Semi-Saints Assemble!
"Ling Feng, your aura has become stronger, but it seems unstable, fluctuating up and down. What’s going on?"Lee Bufan, who is usually quite calm and collected, scrutinized Ling Feng and couldn’t help but ask.
Ling Feng sighed lightly and slowly said, "Just a failed breakthrough attempt."
Looking back over the past month, relying on the Emperor’s Eye’s abilities, he almost effortlessly mastered the Five Emperor Seal Technique completely.
Next, it would be about opening the Emperor’s Gate and breaking through to the Emperor Realm.
It’s a pity that, during this time, he has attempted to break through three times, each time triggering a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, seemingly about to succeed, but in the end, all were deserted, failing to achieve the final breakthrough.
Failing three attempts in a row at breaking through the Great Emperor is perhaps unprecedented and will never be surpassed in the future.
Moreover, the most frustrating thing for Ling Feng is that with each breakthrough failure, the realm barrier becomes even more solidified, making it increasingly challenging to open the Emperor’s Gate.
Ling Feng only then realized that although the Five Emperor Seal Technique claimed to have a fifty percent success rate, it might barely have even a ten percent chance for himself.
"Hmph!"
Yeu Junyao on the side finally found an opportunity to mockingly say, "You brat, practicing three paths at once, yet dreaming of breaking through to the Emperor Realm? Unless a miracle happens, you won’t break through in this lifetime!"
Indeed, upon learning that Ling Feng was practicing three paths simultaneously, even Yeu Junyao was shocked. After all, even within their Jiuli Divine Race, few dared to practice three paths at once, and those who did eventually focused on one, not daring to easily form three Emperor’s Gates; otherwise, they might get stuck at the Limitless Emperor Realm.
Since Ling Feng has already formed three Emperor’s Gates, he has no turning back; he either breaks through or remains stuck at the Limitless Emperor Realm forever.
Alternatively, if he has the resolve, Ling Feng could abolish his cultivation and start anew.
But, he might be destined to have no fate with Mu Qianxue.
Even now, Yeu Junyao doesn’t think Ling Feng has a chance to compare with Mu Qianxue’s fiancé.
"Lady Yeu, which step of Brother Ling’s journey hasn’t been a miracle?"
Feeng Yan couldn’t help but argue, Ling Feng has always been a man who creates miracles.
"Big Brother, I also believe you can definitely break through successfully!"
Jiang Xiaofan was equally confident about this.
"Haha, let’s not talk about this for now, Xiao Fan, Bu Fan, since you’ve come from afar, I’ll throw a banquet to welcome and honor you!"
With brothers reunited, the sense of despair forming in Ling Feng’s heart due to repeated breakthrough failures dissipated quite a bit.
All the way, he has mostly had smooth sailing, rarely failing, and failing three times in a row to break through the Great Emperor somewhat planted seeds of self-doubt in Ling Feng.
Yet, he knew even more clearly that his journey was destined to resist the heavens!
He must contend with the heavens and set himself against the myriad immortal gods, destined to accomplish what ordinary people cannot!
...
While Ling Feng was consumed with excitement from reuniting with his brothers, meanwhile, outside the East Spirit Immortal Pond, a group of uninvited guests had arrived.
A middle-aged man cloaked in gray stood on the back of a Roc several dozen feet wide, followed by a dense crowd of black-clad martial artists. On their left shoulders, there was a blood insignia, indicating their identity, clearly members of the Blood Shadow Alliance.
Every member of the Blood Shadow Alliance was riding a Roc, with more than a hundred suddenly appearing above the East Spirit Immortal Pond, looking spectacular.
Cries!——
The piercing screeches shook the Sky Dome, almost instantly stirring the entire East Spirit Immortal Pond.
Countless Outer Sect disciples from the Earth Realm hurriedly rushed out from their residences, looking amazed at the figures riding Rocs in the sky; these people were identically Emperor-level powerhouses!
Moreover, the mounts they rode were clearly Demon Emperor-level!
"Holy crap, what’s happening here? So many Emperor-level powerhouses?"
"Mother, the East Spirit Immortal Pond is probably going to change!"
"..."
Whizzes!
Subsequently, from the eight Floating Immortal Islands, figures flew out, all ready and waiting.
The eight Hall Masters, each leading the Emperor-level powerhouses from their halls, formed a Great Formation, completely blocking any paths to the Immortal Pond.
They already knew that the Blood Shadow Alliance Leader’s goal was to seize the Immortal Pond and advance to the Saint Realm. Given this, they mustn’t let the Blood Shadow Alliance Leader succeed; otherwise, once he breaks through to the Saint Realm, no one will be able to stop him.
"Brother Anxue, you’ve finally come!"
A sigh echoed, followed by a rainbow-like light soaring into the sky from deep within the East Spirit Immortal Pond.
In the next moment, the Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor’s figure appeared before the eight Hall Masters, and at his feet was a Phoenix Divine Bird of seven-colored brilliance, facing the Blood Shadow Alliance Leader from afar.
The sharp screeches resounded as, from behind the Immortal Pond, one after another Qingluan and Colorful Phoenix soared out from the mountain peaks, and the Phoenix Clan’s powerhouses also emerged entirely.
"Feathered Phoenix! Long time no see!"
The Roc beneath the Blood Shadow Alliance Leader saw the Phoenix Divine Bird ridden by the Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor and immediately roared, "Hmph, today I will surely unify the Phoenix Clan!"
"Heavenly Peng, you still refuse to wake up!"
The Phoenix Venerate screeched angrily; it was Peng Venerate’s selfishness that caused the Phoenix Clan’s fragmentation in the first place.
And today, regardless of victory or defeat, the Phoenix Clan will reunify.
"Junior Brother Heavenly Origin, it’s been over a hundred years since we last met, you seem to have improved quite a bit."
The Blood Shadow Alliance Leader squinted his eyes, coldly scrutinizing Junior Brother Heavenly Origin, and coldly laughed, "You’ve been the Sect Leader of the East Spirit Immortal Pond long enough, today, it’s time for me to take back what’s rightfully mine!"
"All of this, originally you could have protected! Yet, you betrayed us and slew the master; how could the East Spirit Immortal Pond be entrusted to you?"
The Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor fixed his gaze on the Blood Shadow Alliance Leader, radiating with divine brilliance like a god, coldly stating, "Brother, repent now, there’s still time!"
"Victors are kings, losers are bandits, if you defeat me today, naturally everything will be as you say!"
The Blood Shadow Alliance Leader’s eyes flickered with fervor as he laughed out loud, shouting towards the void, "What’s the matter? Have the Three Quasi-Saints turned into three shrinking tortoises? I’m here personally, yet none come to see me? Hahaha!"
"How dare you!"
A furious roar, like thunderclap, exploded from the clear sky.
Accompanying a loud dragon roar, the sky unleashed a golden dragon, which quickly transformed into human form, becoming an elder with golden hair.
This man was Long Daoren, one of the three Half-Saint strong people of the East Spirit Immortal Pond.
A hundred years ago, it was Long Daoren who spotted the Blood Shadow Alliance Leader, intending to kill him but ended up being beaten back, suffering severe injuries that took a hundred years to heal before finally returning to his peak.
"Alas!"
Following that, two more sighs came from the high heavens, as one green and one blue light appeared like a sky-spanning curtain, and slowly revealed two figures.
One was Elder Turtle, and the last was Elder Jing.
Thus, the three Half-Saint strong people of the East Spirit Immortal Pond had all appeared!
