Longzang

Chapter 731: Take one step at a time

The shadow in the sky grew larger and larger, finally breaking through the critical point. The shadow dissipated, and the two small worlds officially connected under the influence of immortal power.

This time, the two worlds are not parallel, but at an angle. When they look at each other, they are tilted and inserted into their own world, like a V-shaped shape from another world.

The floodwaters also surged into that world, but they didn't submerge much land. They merely pushed the dividing line forward a little bit. Eventually, the surging waves stopped in front of a rocky beach. Waves crashed down and then reluctantly receded, leaving behind only white foam that emitted a strange fishy smell.

A pair of sharp claws landed on the shore, and the waves surged even more wildly, but they couldn't reach the claws; only a little bit of flying foam splashed on them.

Each sharp claw, as sharp as a blade, is about a foot long and covered with gilded cloud patterns as decoration. Above that are dark silver leg armors that extend all the way up to the neck.

This was a creature a full ten feet tall, with fangs on its face, dark silver eyes with black cross-shaped pupils, and long mane flowing down its back, majestic and magnificent.

He looked down at the waves in front of his toes, his pupils shrinking slightly, and said, "How could a lowly world push its boundaries to my claws?"

Behind him stood a woman with pale golden mane, who let out a deep, majestic roar, saying, "This means the area opposite is vast, with a huge number of living beings and an extremely abundant world power. Slaughtering this world will surely bring rewards from the Immortal Venerable!"

The tall, silver-maned, fanged man nodded slowly: "A lowly realm, yet capable of contending with us, they must possess an extraordinary number of Dao foundations. Perhaps a thousand, perhaps three thousand?"

Whether it's a thousand, three thousand, or more, as long as we slaughter them, perhaps—no, the Immortal Venerable will definitely elevate our realm! At that time, you too can become a Yujing, and continue to live. This is our best chance…”

At this point, his voice turned low: "...This is also the last chance."

The golden-maned woman said, "I want to conquer their world! And live there! It must be a vibrant world over there, and I never want to live here again."

"That's not something we can hope for. How to allocate the ownership of heaven and earth is up to the Immortal Venerable. Let's focus on doing what's in front of us first."

The silver-maned man turned around, his voice echoing throughout the heavens and earth: "Prepare for war, slaughter them all!"

A series of deafening roars echoed as one after another, warriors with long manes appeared behind them, covering the entire mountainside.

But when they reached the beach, they all stopped, looking at the boundless sea with a sense of helplessness. Two burly black-maned warriors leaped up, skimming the surface of the sea, and a moment later plunged into the human world. Instantly, their bodies felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds, and they sank sharply, almost plunging into the sea!

They were terrified and struggled to fly upwards, when suddenly countless tentacle-like seaweeds emerged from the water and instantly entangled them. The two warriors at the early stage of the Dharma Aspect realm were pulled directly into the water and disappeared instantly. A moment later, a large amount of blood floated to the surface of the sea.

A violent and fierce aura emanated from the deep sea and shot straight into the sky!
Wei Yuan frowned slightly. Haicao had eaten too much in the past few battles, and it seemed that his Dao heart was unstable, and he had regained some of his fierce and brutal killing instincts.

The seaweed's bloodthirsty instincts awakened, instantly silencing all the immortal plants. But in the blink of an eye, each immortal plant seemed to have awakened something, exuding a dangerous aura from the ancient primordial era.

This is because they are all beginning to awaken their ancient instincts to some extent, and the atmosphere in the mundane world suddenly becomes subtle.

The believers of each of the Xianzhi Churches were all bewildered. Just now, their tacitly accepted doctrines had suddenly changed, removing many of the doctrines of love and peace and adding many of the content about being detached from worldly affairs.

The world is inherently rife with conflict, and at this time, it is necessary to quell all dissent and make the world unable to contend with them; this is what it means to be at peace with the world.

Only the laurel tree looked around blankly, not understanding why the atmosphere had become somewhat eerie. She tried to tighten her bark, but now it was about to burst open again.

Wei Yuan stood in the air, the world's affairs naturally residing in his heart. The opening of the world was 1,800 miles from the central city, with a vast ocean in between. However, the seaweed had been severely injured while slaying the two Dharma forms, large parts of its leaves and branches withered, rendering it powerless to fight again.

Although there are many fierce fish in the water, their individual combat strength is not very good. They only have a chance to bite a few times because they are suppressed by seaweed.

Faced with the current situation, Wei Yuan immediately made a decision and shouted, "Build ships! Form a navy and fight them at sea! Send all those who dare to come in to feed the fish!"

The mortal realm was in an uproar. Aside from the seaweed, which strongly supported the idea, all the other divine plants vehemently opposed it. With so much food, why feed it only to the fish? What contribution had the fish made? Even by seniority, it wasn't the fish's turn!
Wei Yuan was extremely troubled. He had finally managed to appease the immortal plants, but the mortals had already begun to take action: several research institutes were opening their doors, including institutes for ship propulsion systems, hull structures, and so on. Wei Yuan was both amused and exasperated. He simply pulled out a few warship designs from Xu Wenwu's data and started building them based on the drawings.

At this moment, another early-stage Dharma Aspect warrior flew in from the world entrance. It was incredibly fast, flying almost skimming the clouds. The seaweed tried several times, but couldn't reach it at all.

The black-maned warrior was extremely arrogant. He circled in the air before flying towards the center of the sea. But after flying only a few dozen miles, a huge dragon head suddenly emerged from the clouds, its massive teeth bared, and it bit the warrior, dragging him back into the clouds.

The clouds immediately surged wildly, indicating the intensity of the battle within. After a moment, they quieted down, and a giant dragon head emerged, furtively looking around.

The dragon had several obvious wounds on its face, and a faint black mist was still emanating from them, but it let out a burp, and some blood that was clearly not its own involuntarily dribbled from the corner of its mouth. It stuck out its tongue and licked it back.

Having killed three Dharma Aspects on the opposing side, it was considered a victory in the first battle. However, the opposing Yu Jing had not yet made a move, so even if all the Dharma Aspects and Dao Foundations were killed, it would be useless.

Moreover, this battle was completely unpredictable; they had no idea what kind of creature the opponent was or what its special abilities were, so they could only proceed one step at a time.

Wei Yuan dared not be careless in the slightest, resolutely refusing to enter the other party's territory, instead guarding the mortal world and slowly wearing down the opponent.

He had already grasped the situation in the Immortal Realm. The blue world, even if it was only light blue, was not abundant in the overall world. As long as this world was held back, it would be equivalent to easing the burden on Immortal Lord Yan Shi.

At this moment, the first world that had been crushed cracked again, releasing even more primal power. Meanwhile, the second world was completely submerged by seawater, and its destruction was imminent.

At that moment, the two realms suddenly detached from the mundane world and plummeted into the void.

Wei Yuan was greatly surprised. He had only taken two small bites and hadn't even had a bite of the second world yet. How could he have left already?

It's obvious without even thinking that it was the two immortals from the Liao tribe who were behind it. The Left Wise King and the Junior Grand Preceptor certainly couldn't stand idly by and watch Wei Yuan devour their mental world.

Wei Yuan felt regretful, but could only shake his head and then focus all his energy on dealing with this newly acquired small world. At the central city dock, speedboat-like ships were being pushed into the sea. The mortals temporarily selected on the shore were lined up neatly, listening to the Dao Foundation cultivators at the front of the line explain the essentials of sailing, precautions for naval battles, and so on.

Then came the distribution of equipment. This so-called equipment was actually made from stones found in the mortal world; its essence was a bit of Wei Yuan's true spirit protecting mortals with his own Dao power.

Since it wasn't a physical object, the design of the armor was free to be creative. So, adhering to the principle of making an appearance everywhere, the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix Chick designed a rather spectacular suit of armor.

This suit of armor is very form-fitting, with dark silver as the main color and black as the secondary color, complemented by a few dark blue lines. It looks quite stunning and pleasing to the eye, but its style is quite strange and out of step with the current era.

The moment Wei Yuan saw the new armor, he immediately knew the source of its design inspiration. Wasn't this the futuristic mecha warrior described in Xu Wenwu's file?

However, this was not the time to concern themselves with such things. At Wei Yuan's command, the numerous mortal warriors boarded the speedboats. One after another, the speedboats sped across the sea, leaving long, complex, interwoven contrails in their wake.

Amidst the bustling city life, these speedboats traveled at incredible speeds without ever capsizing. On the lead speedboats stood Han Li, Jun Weizhi, Long Wushuang, and Dugu Cangqiong, respectively.

Apart from Dugu Cangqiong, the other three remained remarkably calm, as if they were merely handling a minor matter. Dugu Cangqiong, however, displayed a constantly shifting expression, sometimes excited, sometimes nervous, and occasionally asking the other three, "Do you think there's any chance of lifting the heavenly restriction this time? Why are you all so quiet?"

The other three simply stared ahead, seemingly oblivious to Dugu Cangqiong's words. In reality, they had a separate, clandestine communication system, where they were discussing the battle situation and their next move.

Long Wushuang suddenly said, "Do you think the Creator Immortal Venerable might be listening to us right now?"

Han Li and Jun Weizhi remained silent, but Wei Yuan was startled.
