Chapter 212: Tremors (Part 2)

“It won’t hold much longer. The Phalanx’s energy is rapidly depleting and will collapse naturally,” Jiluo’s crimson eyes were filled with anxiety. “We’ll have no choice but to face them head-on!”

At this level of Phalanx, a demigod-tier transcendent mage or a demigod-tier demon could supply their own power to sustain it. However, within this small transcendent world, there were no demigod-level existences. Jiluo, and even the reincarnators from the Temple of Time and Space, although their cultivation was high, their inner power had not reached the demigod level, thus unable to sustain the Phalanx.

Although this team from the Temple of Time and Space carried some treasures, they had their own plans and would not waste resources on a Phalanx destined to be breached.

Spending more energy would only slightly delay the inevitable.

“What’s the use of talking nonsense? You should seize this opportunity to carefully observe the strength of this Xia Clan transcendent, Dongbo Xueying!” the handsome youth, Liehuo, said coldly. “That way, when we truly face him, we’ll be better prepared!”

Jiluo did not argue but continued to stare outside.

Each streak of Fightqi Shoot out, every strike made his heart tremble. If judging solely by the power of each strike, it was comparable to his own. However, in terms of the subtleties of the rules, Dongbo Xueying’s were clearly far more mysterious.

“My Golden Radiance True Intent was originally inspired when I was young, witnessing the battle between two powerful Demon God, which led to my enlightenment, allowing me to walk this path until today,” Jiluo gritted his teeth, filled with Unwilling to yield. “But how could a human, living in a mortal world, have ever seen a battle at the divine level? How could he master a True Intent deeper than mine?”

Back then, Jiluo was still very young, having just been born not long ago. In that endless crimson wasteland, he was hiding everywhere, barely surviving, fearing being killed and devoured by other demons!

But one day.

Two terrifying Demon God engaged in a fierce battle!

The battle scene was incredibly terrifying, the power spreading in all directions, causing countless demons to perish.

Jiluo, because he was very far away, although the shockwave made him spit blood, it did not pose a life-threatening danger. At that moment, he was deeply shocked.

He saw a black sun!

That black sun, faintly surrounded by countless black lightning bolts entwining and transforming, making it possess an incredibly terrifying power!

That scene… he would never forget!

As he cultivated, he modeled after that terrifying black sun, eventually developing his ‘Golden Radiance True Intent’! This was a powerful third-tier True Intent. However, he felt there was still a significant gap between his True Intent and that ‘black sun’, so he continued to ponder and now mastered the third-tier True Intent ‘Spatial Blade Intent’, desiring to integrate it into his own.

He wanted his True Intent to evolve, drawing closer to that ‘black sun’!

“I had a reference, but he, a human from a mortal world… yet, yet…” Jiluo was truly unwilling, but no matter how much he refused to admit it, he understood that this Xia Clan’s Dongbo Xueying’s ‘Piercing Point True Intent’ was far superior to his own. The ultimate penetrating and destructive subtlety, even from a distance, made him shudder involuntarily!

And at this moment—

The reincarnator team from the Temple of Time and Space, watching this scene, also felt complex emotions.

“I have traversed many worlds, being a key cultivator of the Temple of Time and Space! I have successively mastered four ‘third-tier True Intents’… eventually, through mutual stimulation, I evolved and mastered this second-tier True Intent,” the handsome youth, Liehuo, felt a complex mix of emotions. “How much have I experienced? Divine Secrettechniques are at my disposal! I’ve even observed scenes of battles between great existences. I’ve experienced ‘cultivation scenarios’, and even had divine-level experts personally guiding me… But what about him? What kind of opportunities could a young man from a mortal world have?”

Liehuo’s heart was filled with complexity.

It couldn’t be helped; sometimes, transcendent beings were not all the same. Some possessed terrifying focus and insight in cultivation.

In his travels across many worlds, he had heard of a legend—

Once, there was a very ordinary flyer-level reincarnator, extremely common among countless reincarnators. During his missions, he showed no extraordinary performance, very ordinary.

However, during his fifth mission.

He entered a mortal world, needing to hide his identity to complete the task. At that time, he disguised himself as a woodcutter! And even befriended some other woodcutters. When the mission was about to end, one of the elderly woodcutters… He actually helped him directly.’restored his freedom’! Yes, reincarnators also had the chance to regain their freedom, though the cost was great.

They repeatedly faced deadly dangerous missions, and although their strength grew with each survival, many still wished to regain freedom, but the cost was too high.

Of course, the price for a flyer-level reincarnator to regain freedom was equivalent to the entire wealth of a demigod-level existence. That elderly woodcutter paid it effortlessly.

Moreover—

That reincarnator, having regained freedom, followed that elderly master in cultivation, and within merely thirty years, Unexpectedly mastered the First-Class Truth.’Primordial True Intent’!

It turned out that the elderly woodcutter was a terrifying existence, a great figure in the Divine Realm. That ‘mortal world’ was completely under his control, his private garden! In their simple exchanges while cutting wood, this Divine Realm expert clearly saw the flyer-level reincarnator’s astonishing potential and how suitable he was for his path.

You see, finding a good disciple wasn’t easy! Even if you forcefully set a path for your disciple, even a first-tier True Intent path, the disciple might not even reach the second stage of the Ten thousandwonder Realm!

That Divine Realm expert, over countless eons, had never found a disciple to his satisfaction.

So when he encountered a disciple whose path resonated deeply with his own… naturally, he had to cultivate him, so he immediately helped him regain freedom.

…

An ordinary reincarnator, simply because his potential was discovered by a Divine Realm expert, spent merely thirty years to become a legendary prodigy who mastered a first-tier True Intent!

Therefore, feeling envious or jealous was useless.

The current Xia Clan transcendent, Dongbo Xueying, without the guidance of any great experts, slowly cultivated in the impoverished corners of a mortal world, yet still mastered the terrifying True Intent of Piercing Point. Would jealousy help?

“He has mastered a second-tier True Intent, and so have I! This battle, I am well-prepared, perhaps this impoverished prodigy will perish by my hands.” Liehuo secretly thought, although he longed to slay a genius, he also understood in his heart that since this mission was classified as a ‘Difficult-Level’ mission, Dongbo Xueying was likely more than just what he appeared.

If that were the case.

It made him even more envious! To master a second-tier True Intent, he had spent too much time, finally evolving by combining four third-tier True Intents. How old was Dongbo Xueying? How little experience had he truly had?

“Boom! Boom! Boom—”

At last, one Phalanx crumbled with a thunderous roar.

“It’s almost time, we can’t hold much longer, he’ll be here soon.” Jiluo turned to the Temple of Time and Space reincarnator team beside him. At this moment, he had no hope in the other demons under his command. “Do you have confidence?”

“Don’t worry, we’ve prepared three plans! What’s a Difficult-Level mission? He might still perish in our hands.” the black metallic man said confidently.

“Divine General.” Liehuo, the handsome youth, frowned. “Do not underestimate Dongbo Xueying. Everyone, prepare yourselves! Hongye, the Phalanxwill need your control.”

“Don’t worry.” the red-robed woman nodded slightly.

The handsome youth also nodded. “Proceed with the first plan, ensure a single decisive strike to kill him!”

“Hmph.” the other four companions nodded in agreement.

“Boom~~~~”

As the mighty Phalanx crumbled with an earth-shattering roar, both the demonic hordes and the reincarnators of the Space-Time Temple felt their hearts clench in dread.

From the distant abyss, the Heart Demon frantically relayed its warnings to the Demon General:

“General! The Phalanx has fallen! Dongbo Xueying has begun his assault!”
