Chapter 722 - The Eldritch Clan’s Plan, Entering the Third Dimension
Chapter 722: The Eldritch Clan’s Plan, Entering the Third Dimension
In the third dimension, the land of the Eldritchs.
Gu Ai was playing host to Gu Debai and the others. Then, in a serious voice, he asked, “How did you guys come here?”
“We came from the seventh dimension. There’s really something weird about the seventh dimension…” Gu Debai told Gu Ai all that he knew about the seventh dimension.
Gu Ai’s expression became more and more solemn before he finally said, “It’s obvious that a powerful existence is running the seventh dimension. If not, there wouldn’t be that many skilled fighters in such a short time. It would also explain how it was possible for Guzhe to perish.”
The most important thing was… How did the seventh dimension open up a portal to the third dimension? It was too illogical and was akin to creating something out of nothing. No ordinary person could possess such strong magical powers. Could it be that some kind of variable had appeared in the seventh and third dimensions?
“I’ll go check out the seventh dimension at the first opportunity,” said Gu Ai leisurely.
“Brother Gu Ai, can you tell us what happened in all the years you’ve been here? Did you get the Origins?”
“Do you think I’ll still be alive if I didn’t get any Origins?” Gu Ai smiled slightly and paused. “The third dimension’s broken. Its Origins have become a torrent that’s overflowing, scattered everywhere. Only those with great chances can get it, and once the Origins is obtained, his power will naturally advance by leaps and bounds. Not only me, but the ancestors of the demons who came with you also got a part of the Origins.”
“If that’s the case, why don’t we just steal it from the others who have gotten it?” asked Gu Debai.
Gu Ai was already at the pinnacle of the second-step Wisdom Elite and he still possessed the Origins. Now, coupled with Gu Debai and Gu Lie, the group was definitely at the pinnacle of combat power in the third dimension. There was no doubt that they could wipe out the rest of the people there.
“It’s not as simple as that.” Gu Ai shook his head. “Us Eldritchs aren’t welcomed among the seven dimensions. We’ll definitely be targeted if we make a move on others. I’ve been trapped in the third dimension for so many years and many of our people have died since then.”
“Do you really plan to let it go just like that? We need to come up with a countermeasure!” said Gu Lie aggressively.
Gu Ai just laughed and said, “Countermeasure? We already set up a trap in the third dimension many years ago. We would’ve succeeded if it wasn’t for the sudden changes in the third dimension.”
“Oh? What’s the trap?” asked Gu Debai and Gu Lie excitedly, their eyes all lit up.
Gu Ai smiled enigmatically and said, “We’re at the tail end of the plan so just wait patiently for it.”
Meanwhile, at the Chaos Three-legged Crows’ territory, the crows from the fourth dimension were crying to the Crow King about the atrocities of the seventh dimension.
“Crow King, the seventh dimension’s really hateful. We Chaos Three-legged Crows are mythical beasts with supreme bloodlines and yet, they see us as game meat and mock us by saying how much they love eating chicken wings! We aren’t chicken wings! We’re crow wings!”
The Crow King’s eyes flashed with cold light and a fierce aura surged in its body. “How can it be! How dare the seventh dimension behave so atrociously? They want us to pay tribute to them as compensation? Where do they even get the confidence to think we’ll let them get away with this?
“Not to mention those two cowards, Lord Angel and Yun Qianshan! They’re the shame of the entire fourth dimension for selling our people out like that. I’ll definitely make them explain themselves once I’m out of the third dimension!”
“All hail the mighty Crow King. Now that the Crow King has seized the opportunity in the third dimension, he’s entered the second-step. Even Lord Angel’s no match for you!” said all the crows in unison.
The Crow King smiled coldly and said, “Send someone to guard the portal to the third dimension. Someone from the seventh dimension will definitely come here and once they do, we’ll then them and make them pay a little first.”
On the other side, the Chaos Divine Sheep clan was also having a similar discussion.
By then, the Heavenly Palace people had gathered at the portal leading to the third dimension. After several rounds of screening, it was finally determined that Cultivator Junjun, Yang Jing, Xiao Chengfeng, and Xing Ya would go to the third dimension while the others would guard the seventh dimension. As for those from the four-part architecture, Shi Tuqin, Qin Manyun, Nanan, Dragin, and Blackie were dispatched.
“It’s really chaotic over in the third dimension. Be careful and don’t act rashly,” reminded the Jade Emperor.
“Don’t worry. When have we ever come back in defeat?” said Nanan with a smile.
“We’ll definitely reap a bountiful harvest in the third dimension,” said Blackie.
“Alright, it’s time to go!” said Cultivator Junjun. Then, they all entered the portal.
In the third dimension, everyone was suspended above the ruined sky as they emerged from the twisting vortex. All of them frowned at the same time when they sensed the destructive aura in the air.
“Haha! It’s just as the Crow King predicted. More newcomers have arrived!” A hoarse voice was heard, revealing a cold murderous intent that instantly appeared in the void. “Are you people from the seventh dimension?” Behind the voice stood a group of demons with black feathers.
“I’d recognize this bald dog and his leather pants anywhere! It’s definitely them alright!” Another voice was heard as the Chaos Divine Sheep Demons with black horns appeared.
In addition to them, other powers in the third dimension were also eyeing Blackie maliciously.
“I already know that the seventh dimension’s extraordinary after peeking through the others’ souls. Only by catching them and peeking into their souls can I know the secrets of the seventh dimension!”
“He’s right! We have to get to the bottom of the big secret they’re hiding from us!”
“Their powers aren’t bad but they don’t even have a second-step Wisdom Elite amongst them. What a joke!”
Their auras flowed from all directions, trying to suppress Blackie and the others. Blackie was in the center of the storm. He swept his gaze across his enemies and suddenly smiled. “The third dimension’s indeed wondrous. We’ve only just arrived and yet, so many game animals are already offering themselves up to us!”
“Die, you stupid dog!” said a Chaos Divine Sheep Demon coldly. “I haven’t seen the Dog Demon for a long time and I can still remember how tasty its flesh is. I’ll never forgive myself if I don’t turn you into game meat!”
The surrounding demons laughed loudly.
“Well said! Remember to leave the thigh meat for me!”
“I want its head!”
“His p*nis is mine!”
Suddenly, a burst of bright light exploded. Endless stars appeared above their heads, turning into galaxies and igniting the sky. Under the dazzling starlight, a figure slowly walked out, bathed in brilliance. He was wearing a mask and was walking under the stars with his hands folded behind his back.
An empty valley-like voice came from his mouth. “Who’s the one who said he wanted to peek into our soul? Well, I’m standing here! What are you waiting for?” Such a dazzling entrance, coupled with that unpredictable temperament and domineering words, immediately surprised everyone.
However, they almost laughed out loud after taking a closer look, for they discovered that he was only a half-step Wisdom Elite. ‘Who’s he trying to fool?’
“Where did this ant come from? Do you really want to die that much? Well, let me grant you your wish!” A brawny man smiled grimly as he stepped forward. In a blink of an eye, he was already in front of Xing Ya. His fingers turned into claws that grabbed Xing Ya by the skull. “I’ll suck you dry!”
The Power of Wisdom was running in his palm, trying to search through Xing Ya’s memories. However, in the next moment, the expression on the brawny man’s face suddenly stiffened as his body trembled violently and his pupils were filled with extreme fear.
“Ah—! How can this be? Why do I feel an incomparable horror pressing on my body? What in the world is in your head? Those are some terrifying taboos!” He roared desperately, madly.
At a certain moment, he suddenly stopped moving. He then turned into a poof of dust which dissipated with the wind.
Silence blanketed everyone.
The people in the third dimension gasped and were filled with disbelief.
How was it possible for a mighty Wisdom Elite to die by the hands of a half-step Wisdom Elite? They would not have believed it if they did not see it with their own eyes.
A smile broke out of Xing Ya’s face when he sensed that he was at the center of attention. He paced forward and his starlight became even more dazzling. “Who will reach the peak at the end of the immortal road, behold it’s Xing Ya with his immeasurable Wisdom. It’s so lonely at the top.”
His words shocked everyone to the core. He was enjoying the attention. He reflected on it for a long time, always feeling that it was a bit boring to merely utter a slogan whenever he appeared. Then again, he did not have much power to begin with.
It was rare for someone to ask for a soul peek and today, he ran into the perfect opportunity to display his power, making him feel unbelievably overjoyed.
He laughed and asked, “Who else wants to give it a try?”
“What is it with these people? How is it possible to die just by peeking into his soul?”
“It’s so terrifying. Even a Wisdom Elite perished just like that. I’m afraid the secret they’re hiding is unimaginably huge!”
“The bigger it is, the more opportunity there is for us!”
“Take them down so that we can force their secret out of them!”
“How dare a weak chicken like you speak such big words! I’ll eliminate you first!”
Everyone’s thoughts turned sharply. Their momentum was turbulent, and at the same time, they raised their hands as they unanimously moved forward to suppress Xing Ya!
Xing Ya’s face turned pale instantly. The hair on his body stood up as he backed away in a panic. “Aren’t you guys going to do a soul peek? Why did you suddenly change your mind? Help me, Blackie!”
“Grr, how dare you lousy game animals turn against your masters!” Blackie took a step forward and lifted his paw, condensing a huge phantom that covered the sky and the sun, blocking all attacks.
“How many times have we told you not to act all cool when you don’t have enough power?” Xiao Chengfeng glanced at Xing Ya contemptuously. Then, with a sword in his hand, he shouted, “God wouldn’t accept the birth of Xiao Chengfeng, but my sword cultivation is still historical like the long night!”
The endless sword aura surged up, and though it looked astonishing, Xiao Chengfeng maintained his position behind Blackie’s back.
“Let’s work together to take them down!” The people of the third dimension stared at Blackie and others as they exerted a mighty force to seal the surroundings, wanting to suppress them!
“The sound of the music comes and goes like the tide, waking up, we realized everything was just a dream.” Qin Manyun played her Guqin with both hands. Wisdom swam around her like a dragon. It was as if she had put herself in an independent, special place where she could override everything in the world.
The sound of the Guqin condensed into sharp blades. The endless tunes swept out of her instrument, mobilizing the power of Wisdom as they turned into countless terrifying wind blades!
The group of people entered into a trance. They felt as if they were drunk as soon as the sound of her Guqin drifted into their ears. Then, they saw a phantom of themselves in front of them. The phantom overlapped reality, charging at them.
In the void, Wisdom manifested. Countless people fought against their own phantoms while being immersed in the sound of the Guqin, unable to extricate themselves.
Shi Tuqin was holding a brush as she smiled at the people who rushed over. She then began to sketch. “Painting eggs is my strong point. You can all take your time to incubate!”
She waved at a demon and an egg was drawn in the void. The body of that person was suddenly squeezed by Wisdom and trapped in the egg!
“One egg, two eggs, three eggs…” Soon, countless eggs were floating in the void.
“Do you really think we’re that easy to bully?” Nanan scoffed and with a step, her small body appeared in the center of the sky. She was surrounded by a black aura, making her look like a big black sun.
“There’s no trace of time as I devour time itself!” A frightening aura poured out from her body and the intense pressure was a hundred times more terrifying than the wrath of Heaven, suppressing them to the point that they could not breathe. The black light fell on everyone.
“Ah—! What the heck is this spell? It can even devour time itself!”
“A hundred years of my cultivation was devoured in an instant!”
“This is the work of the devil!”
“How are they real? Their ultimate spells aren’t of the average first-step Wisdom Elite!”
“Their talents are too terrifying. Their combat power’s the same as a second-step Wisdom Elite even though they’re only in the first-step!”
“Quick, go get our ancestor!”
On the other side, the Eldritchs were solemnly watching the battlefield.
“Their Wisdom has returned to the source and their ultimate spells are imbued with the Origins aura. I find this really amazing!” said Gu Ai with shock.
Gu Debai and Gu Lie were even more shocked than him and their faces were pale.
“Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! This group of people weren’t this strong yesterday. How did they break through their realms in just one night?” asked Gu Debai in a trembling voice.
Gu Lie was shocked to the point that his worldview had shattered. “This can’t be real! This is madness. We just fought them yesterday and only the fox and the phoenix were second-step Wisdom Elites. The way they’re leveling up will be the death of me!”
“If it’s as you say, then the seventh dimension is really too mysterious!” Gu Ai’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He solemnly said, “The only thing that can help them advance that quickly are the Origins! What exactly is the seventh dimension hiding?”
“We can’t let them leave this place alive. Should we join the battle?” asked Gu Debai.
Gu Ai smiled slightly and said, “Patience. The plan’s already been put into motion. We only need to wait and see.”
Several more figures came from a distance. Their momentums distorted time and space, and Wisdom knelt before them. It was the Crow King and the ancestor of the Chaos Divine Sheep!
“Let’s see just how strong you people from the seventh dimension are!” said the Crow King.
They cast their ultimate spells at Blackie and the others as soon as they arrived. However, a sudden change occurred. A wisp of gray aura suddenly rose from a distance and there was a roaring sound that shook the sky, making everyone distraught.
