BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1492: Stress
Without light, nothing could be seen. Even the extension of people’s souls became intermittent.
The transmission and connection of sound also slowly became problematic.
The evil gods of fear and despair didn’t need to do anything; fear and despair already began filling the Realm of Looming Shadow, lingering in the depths of everyone’s hearts.
On the first day of darkness, many Qi warriors of the Shadow Society instinctively approached the Shadow Palace. They wanted to evacuate the Realm of Looming Shadow through teleportation portals, and go to the realms closely related to the Shadow Society to avoid this disaster.
Unfortunately, the teleportation formations set up in the Shadow Palace couldn’t operate properly.
“Pei Qiqi!” In the dark, Shangguan Zhi’s voice appeared to be extremely deep and cold. “Her Space Boundaries Crystal has been getting stronger and stronger after refining the fragments of the Phantasms’ Wheel of Time and Space. Its power makes the Realm of Looming Shadow’s space fluctuations deviate. We’re stuck for now.”
As Pei Qiqi had cut off one of Grand Monarch Remote Demon’s arms and displayed her outstanding battle prowess time and again, her Space Boundaries Crystal gradually became famous for its strength.
People like Ji Yuanquan in the Void Spirit Society believed that one day the Space Boundaries Crystal would become a divine tool, just like the Void Mirror.
Since it was wielded by Pei Qiqi, whose incantations and bloodline were experiencing explosive growth and whose strength was unfathomable, it was very easy for such an invaluable spatial treasure that had repeatedly increased its power to influence the Realm of Looming Shadow.
They couldn’t use teleportation portals, so none of the Realm of Looming Shadow’s Qi warriors could escape the darkness, unless they charged through the Wall of Shadows.
People were scared and restless in the dark. Many of them began to collapse.
On the second day, some experts attempted to leave through the Wall of Shadows.
However, due to Dong Li’s Dark Aureole, all the Qi warriors who rushed out of the Realm of Looming Shadow and fell into the darkness lost their lives.
It was dark outside, as if a sea of ink had drowned the Realm of Looming Shadow.
Beams of electric light came from Pei Qiqi’s fingertips from time to time and penetrated the Space Boundaries Crystal.
The Realm of Looming Shadow’s reflection on one facet of the Space Boundaries Crystal was pure black.
Nie Tian was very curious. “Are all the teleportation portals of the Realm of Looming Shadow limited by the Space Boundaries Crystal and no longer working? It’s clear that you’re outside the realm, but your strength and Space Boundaries Crystal can influence the space fluctuations in the Realm of Looming Shadow?”
Pei Qiqi nodded.
As the Realm of Looming Shadow was drowned by the darkness, the Saint domain humans originally scattered elsewhere emboldened themselves, and moved closer to her.
Upon hearing their conversation, the Saint domain Qi warriors looked astonished.
“Nie Tian, Dong Li, Pei Qiqi.”
These three names carried such weight that they felt pressured.
For many of them, this was the first time they had witnessed the power of the three. They found that these three youngsters who had risen abruptly from the Domain of the Falling Stars had already become the pioneers of this new era.
Facing their power, even the powerful Shadow Society was in a dilemma.
Dong Li used her darkness to drown the Realm of Looming Shadow, Pei Qiqi used her Space Boundaries Crystal to seal its teleportation portals, and Nie Tian waited for any Shadow Society members who tried to escape.
In fact, all the Shadow Society members who had charged out of the Realm of Looming Shadow and entered the darkness under the pressure of fear and despair had perished without making a sound.
There was no need for Nie Tian to do anything.
The pressure that the three could bring to bear was almost suffocating.
The other people secretly wondered how long Shangguan Zhi of the Shadow Society could endure. Would You Qimiao of the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect and Xuan Guangyu, who had betrayed the Void Spirit Society, show up in time?
Judging from the current situation, even if the Wall of Shadows couldn’t be broken, Shangguan Zhi wouldn’t be able to hole up in the Realm of Looming Shadow forever.
If he didn’t make changes, the Shadow Society was bound to perish.
“The power of the Shadow Society is outmatched only by the four ancient sects. It’s well-established, but now it has no power to fight back. Ah, it seems that it’s been on the decline since Jiang Yuanchi left.”
“On the decline? It’s uncertain whether it can even survive or not.”
“How long has it been? I remember how overbearing the Shadow Society was when it joined hands with the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect and the Jade Heaven Sect in an attempt to replace the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace. In a twinkling, now it’s so suppressed by Nie Tian that its disciples can’t even go out.”
“Will Shangguan Zhi surrender?”
“Maybe.”
...
A huge mountain floated in a boundless sea of clouds.
The Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect sat on the top of the mountain, as if floating in a sea of clouds.
A Saint domain elder knelt down in front of You Qimiao and said in a sincere tone, “Sectmaster! Old Duan has made great contributions to our sect! Even though he didn’t inform the sect before he attacked Master Blood Spirit for the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir, he’s still a member of our sect! Sectmaster, after your breakthrough, you are invincible in the human world. Do you really want to watch him get bullied by those brats like Nie Tian?”
On the mountaintop, You Qimiao stood in front of the palaces with his hands behind his back, gazing at the ever-changing sea of clouds.
His Yin Yang Chaos Mirror had taken the form of into two giant yin-yang fish, playing happily in the sea of clouds, as if it were swallowing the power of the sea of clouds, so that the realm where the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect was located could gather more abundant spiritual power of heaven and earth.
It seemed his dimly discernible and faintly ethereal voice didn’t come from himself, but from the sea of clouds as he said, “The Realm of Looming Shadow hasn’t been broken yet, has it? With Duan Hongwen’s aptitude and cultivation base, even if I gave him some Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir, he still wouldn’t have been able to succeed in breaking through. He spent a great deal of effort in advancing to the God domain back in the day. It was me who helped him at that time. How can I not know his potential?
“Only with another thousand years of concentrated cultivation can he possibly break through to the late God domain with the help of the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir.
“Because the youths like Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi have been quickly breaking through their cultivation bases, his cultivation mentality has gone wrong. He has the illusion that he can overcome the barrier of his cultivation base off the beaten track in a short time, like Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi.
“He doesn’t know that unusual people like Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi have been unprecedented miracles in the human race since ancient times.
“In my opinion, if he drinks the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir now, it’ll be wasted.”
Hearing You Qimiao’s explanation, the elder kneeling down was sincerely convinced, and said, “Sectmaster, even if Old Duan has misunderstood you and is dissatisfied with you, it’s our internal affair. As you are usually in secluded meditation, it’s him who has been in charge of the internal affairs of the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect. I think you should know he has worked hard, and made very positive contributions to the sect over the years.”
You Qimiao pondered for a moment, then said, “Rest assured, I won’t let him die.”
The elder, who was Duan Hongwen’s close friend, heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I’m relieved to hear that. Sectmaster, do you think it is possible for Xuan Guangyu to break through with the help of Xie Qian’s Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir and reach the same level as you in a short time?”
“No way,” You Qimiao replied in an indifferent air.
“Why?”
“Because he dreads facing Qu Yi. He is always worried that Qu Yi will return, so he is very anxious, and wants to break through to the late God domain as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the more anxious he is, the harder it’ll be for him to break through.”
“Understood.”
