Chapter 970: The Raging Tide
The moment the last pattern on the earth chakra of King Roc Sutra was filled with earth elements, the entire earth chakra of Zhang Tie had uttered a thunder-like sound, "Ka..."
The blare spread over all the surging points of Zhang Tie and resonated all the surging points. At the same time, Zhang Tie’s body quivered a second.
Closely after this blare, a strong wave swept over the entire space of Castle of Black Iron centered by Zhang Tie. As a result, all the living beings in this space sensed the terrifying strength from the top of the main peak of the immortal mountain, humans or animals.
This blare was similar to that when the last component of a set of a powerful machine was assembled.
After the last component was assembled, the entire earth chakra rocked a bit before radiating a dazzling golden light and starting to rotate slowly...
The earth chakra and the black iron chakra then started to rotate in a coordinated way like two gears of a machine, one outside, one inside.
As the earth chakra started to rotate, a wholly new and strong strength was spread over Zhang Tie from the chakra in terms of waves. It started to reorganize Zhang Tie’s strength system. Zhang Tie felt being pushed by an overwhelming strength while his awareness started to rise like a rocket physically and spiritually...
...
Under the gaze of everyone else, an overbearing virtual image of golden king roc started to appear on the top of the main peak of the immortal mountain in Castle of Black Iron.
It was a 4-wing king roc. Over its golden body, each feather was radiating brilliant golden light like gold. Its eyes were as hot as two suns. When they opened and closed, they were like sunrise and sunset. The moment the two pairs of wings stretched out, the entire immortal mountain was covered under it.
With another blare "Ka...", the entire Castle of Black Iron rocked again while everybody found it was uttered by the king roc.
When the virtual image of king roc flapped its wings for the first time, it rushed into the heavens right away. When it flapped its wings for the second time, its entire virtual image started to fly across Castle of Black Iron like the ruler of the sky while its huge shadow covered the land below...
As for this virtual image, Castle of Black Iron was so small that the king roc could fly across this space several rounds as fast as lightning bolts only by flapping its wings one time...
Many residents in Castle of Black Iron were shocked by this scene. When the virtual image of king roc covered the land, an old man in a robe screamed, "It’s the incarnation of the God...". Closely after him, all the others started to kneel down towards this enormous virtual image piously.
These people in Castle of Black Iron were all commoners from Waii Subcontinent. There was no earth knight across the Waii Subcontinent. Of course, they didn’t know about the virtual images of earth knights. Even if some of them knew that, they must have not witnessed the abnormal phenomenon when the emperor-level virtual image appeared in the sky. Facing such a scene, all of them could only attribute everything in front of them to their God.
"Ka...", with another blare, the virtual image of king roc ascended while the colorful clouds in the entire space of Castle of Black Iron started to roll.
When the rolling colorful clouds brought the king roc a higher and broader air territory, they also started to suppress the virtual image so that the king roc could only fly in the limited air territory of Castle of Black Iron...
The virtual image of king roc was furious as it felt its dignity was being challenged. "Ka...", with the third blare, the king roc’s two pairs of wings stabbed into the colorful clouds like a sharp sword. It seemed that it was going to tear apart the heavens and invisible barrier in front of its eyes...
’Nothing could stop me from being free; if the land stops me, I will break the land and lowest location; if the sky stops me, I will tear apart the sky and break the void!
’Free! Free! Free!’
It was what the rocs were pursuing for in their whole lives.
...
At the same time...
When the virtual image of king roc flapped its wings for the first time, the surging elements in the elements realm outside Castle of Black Iron became restless in a split second, causing powerful elements to tide which rolled over the entire elements realm like a tsunami which could not even be met in 10,000 years. Those black iron knights’ spiritual tentacles which were catching up with elements in the elements realm were instantly torn apart by the powerful elements tide like dinghies in the tsunami. As a result, all the black iron knights were forced to exit the elements realm...
Although earth knights and those above earth knights stayed in the elements realm, they were also greatly impacted by the elements tide. As the chaotic and surging element crystals were hard to catch, they had to stop what they were doing.
"Ahh, what’s happening..."
All the gates of the knights’ towers in the Lion Fortress were opened while all the knights exited their towers and exchanged glances with each other with confused looks...
As it was the first time for almost all the black iron knights to experience such a change in the elements realm. They didn’t even know what was happening at all.
In the highest knight’s tower in the center of the Lion Fortress, an old man with a white beard and eyebrows opened his eyes which were as brilliant as stars in the sky. He then looked at the ground with a dubious look...
...
Wu Guanhai the team leader of Black Armor Army in Lion Fortress who had also been forced to exit the elements realm spiritually also walked out of his room. With heavy dense eyebrows, he exchanged a confused look with the other knights of Black Armor Army who had also walked out of their room almost at the same time.
Given the others’ dumbfounded looks, Wu Guanhai knew that the other team members also didn’t know what was happening.
"Is it aroused by demons?" A black armored knight asked out of curiosity.
"F**t, if demons could drive us out of the elements realm, what are we here for?" Wu Guanhai swore at once.
"What’s happening then?"
"Who knows?"
Right then, a logistical personnel who was responsible for taking care of those underground dragons hurriedly ran over here, sweating all over his forehead.
"Ahh, emergency, something is wrong with those underground dragons."
As these knights treasured those underground dragons so much, the moment they heard this, they immediately ran towards the stable of the underground dragons.
In the stable, the most bad-tempered underground dragons which had just been captured a few days ago were kneeling down on the ground and quivering like chicks. Meanwhile, they were burying their heads under their bellies...
The underground dragon was a sub-dragon, which had the bloodlines of dragons in far-ancient times. That explained why underground dragons were so powerful.
...
In the endless dark of the first abyss, numerous demon knights were becoming flurried too...
Because the elements tide would drive any alien species out of the elements realm, humans or demons.
...
The third abyss of the earth-element realm which was abundant in underground dragons became as silent as a dead region. The irritable roars of underground dragons completely disappeared in the third abyss...
...
Youzhou Province, Taixia Country, on the earth’ surface...
Elder Muyuan, who was cultivating, walked out of the shrine palace in Embracing Tiger City. Frowning, he looked up at the stars over the sky.
In the dark, a weird, brilliant, twisting polar light appeared in the sky.
Such a polar light should only be seen in the north polar or the south polar instead of appearing in the air territory of Taixia Country. However, at this moment, the brilliant polar light was like a fantastic veil in the night sky. With a bizarre sense of beauty, it appeared in front of the eyes of Elder Muyuan and shared the brilliance with the sky and the ground.
The influence of the elements tide in the elements realm also presented in the material world.
The entire Embracing Bear City was filled with exclamations; many commoners who had fallen asleep woke up and walked out of their doors or stood in their balconies or on the roof, watching such a weird and brilliant scenery.
...
In Xuanyuan Hill, being hundreds of thousands of miles away from Youzhou Province...
In an average courtyard, beside the same pond, the old man who was feeding golden fish looked up at the polar light above Xuanyuan Hill with changing eye lights.
Being different from others’ dumbfounded looks, when this old man watched the polar light, he kept twiddling his right fingers rapidly in his long sleeve and practicing an extremely profound divination.
Wise men would know the precise season through a leaf, not to mention such a wide-range abnormal astronomical phenomenon.
Perhaps commoners didn’t know that, but in the eyes of this old man, the extremely surging elements tide in the elements realm indicated that someone was cultivating an emperor-level method and had just promoted to an earth knight.
The same thing happened over 7 decades ago. However, that elements tide in the elements realm was not as fierce as this one and there was not such an abnormal phenomenon in the sky at that time.
After twiddling his fingers for a while in his long sleeve, when his thumb touched one finger, he felt a great resistance like an invisible mountain between the two fingers. He could not press down his thumb anymore.
Even though it was a mountain, the old man could lay it flat by one palm; therefore, the old man pressed his thumb down forcefully...
When a breeze blew, his right sleeve suddenly exploded into pieces and fell onto the ground. The old man felt like vomiting, but he controlled it and finally recovered his look in half a minute.
The old man shook his head and let out a sigh while his face turned a bit pale.
"If the crown prince dispatches someone to ask what happened. Just tell him there’s a powerful item which could cover the heavenly fortunes on the stranger’s body. It’s out of my ability!"
After saying that, the old man turned around and returned to his room.
Before entering his room, he threw a glance at the east palace of Xuanyuan Hill.
...
After a while, someone indeed came to the outside of this courtyard with a question, "Who’s that?"
A servant in the courtyard retold the old man’s words to the arriver.
The arriver came back with the answer.
...
On a gold platform of hundreds of meters in height, a broad-foreheaded people in a robe with dragon patterns were holding the jade handrail of the gold platform and watching the changing polar light in the sky with a complex eye light.
"Third brother, is that you? or ninth brother? You’re still thinking about taking my place. You formed the earth chakra of Xuanyuan Celestial Being Sutra so fast! It seems that you have a wonderful experience!" That man murmured.
After a short while, a servant in the primitive high crown and dark black clothes came to the back of the man and lowered his body before uttering.
"Your majesty, your teacher said this man has a powerful item which could cover heavenly fortunes. It’s out of his ability!"
"Pah..." the jade rail was broken into ash in a split second while the face of the man in the robe with dragon patterns turned ghastly pale...
