Chapter 974
Chapter 974 Those Several People
There were quite a few floating mountains on the Land of Divine Grace.
Many large sects had set up floating mountains of various sizes in their sects. With the help of the Spiritual Qi tides between heaven and earth, the inscription tactical deployments could make the mountains float eternally in the void. People could also turn the floating mountains into array eyes or defensive centers of the tactical deployments, making the tactical deployments in their sects more three-dimensional and perfect.
The most famous floating mountain was the Colossus God Mountain in the capital of God’s Palace. It was known as the largest floating mountain on the entire continent. It was said that it was tens of thousands of meters wide. It was driven by the Spiritual Qi underground in the Divine Capital and floated high above the Ninth Heaven. Under the operation of the God’s Palace for thousands of years, the Colossus God Mountain had become a mobile fortress. It was known as the sturdiest and safest place on the Eastern Continent and even the entire Land of Divine Grace. Even immortals could not break through it.
However, even the Colossus God Mountain was not as big as the floating mountain in front of Ding Hao and the others.
Compared to this floating mountain range, the Colossus God Mountain was like a piece of breadcrumb beside a boulder.
It was really hard to imagine what kind of force could make such a huge mountain range float in the void. What was more incredible was how this floating mountain range had appeared. 30 minutes ago, there was nothing in the sky, and there was no spatial fluctuation coming out of the chaotic layer of ashes. Therefore, it was impossible for this mountain range to be teleported to this place.
“Could it be…
“Could it be that the power of the rules of creation has created the mountain range in the chaotic layer of ashes?”
At the thought of this, Ding Hao could not help but take a deep breath.
To create such a vast and majestic floating mountain range out of thin air, how terrifying the magical power must be! Even the legendary omnipotent immortals could not do such an amazing miracle that was almost like creation, could they? Moreover, there were lush ancient trees and giant trees reaching into the sky in this mountain range. Birds were singing while beasts were roaring. Spiritual Qi was extremely abundant. It was completely a blessed land that had been developed for tens of thousands of years, which did not seem to have just been created.
Things that happened in the past few days really challenged the limit of Ding Hao’s imagination.
Layers of extremely dense Qi of Immortal Spirits were emitted from this mountain range.
From a distance, it could be seen that in the center of this floating mountain range, there was a strange peak like an immortal pointing the way. Clouds of Chaotic Mists were flickering on the top of this peak. Those were the purest immortal aura. Even the purple Immortal Qi that had spurted out from the caves and the golden Immortal Qi released from the gold thrones could not compare with this kind of immortal aura.
That must be the energy emitted by a real Immortal Artifact.
At this moment, everyone thought so in their hearts.
Suddenly, someone activated the gold throne and turned into a golden light, shooting directly toward the floating mountain range. He wanted to snatch the Immortal Artifact as soon as possible. This action was like pouring a handful of salt into a slightly hot pan filled with oil. Suddenly, the scene became boisterous. All the masters and creatures activated the gold thrones to shoot wildly toward the floating mountain range.
Ding Hao was among them.
He found that with just a stir of his mind, the gold throne seemed to be able to sense his thoughts. It turned into a flowing light and flew rapidly toward the floating mountain range.
Even though he didn’t hold too much hope in obtaining the Immortal Artifact, there was now an opportunity to get it. It was not right not to try hard.
Even if Ding Hao couldn’t get the Immortal Artifact himself, he couldn’t let God’s Palace get it. Otherwise, it would definitely be a disaster for his father Ding Shengtan’s force. It was hard to imagine who in the world could stop him if a master like Ding Tong or the Fake God Emperor had the Immortal Artifact in hand.
The gold throne was extremely fast.
In the blink of an eye, Ding Hao was above the floating mountain range.
There seemed to be a restriction formation in the area of the mountain range. The moment the masters entered this area, they lost control of the gold thrones they were sitting on. In an instant, the gold thrones turned into streams of golden light and disappeared into the void. Many people fell from the sky and immediately steadied themselves in the air.
Ding Hao also activated his Qi and flew toward the strange magnificent peak as soon as possible.
But he soon landed on the ground again.
“What happened?” Ding Hao opened his eyes wide and was extremely shocked.
The moment when he landed on the ground, he was surprised to find that the Qi which had been suppressed in his body was finally completely restored. The weakening force of the suppressive power of the rules between heaven and earth disappeared, and the flame Qi and Hell Ice Qi in his Qi channels roared and surged. His Qi cultivation was instantly restored to the two-apertured Martial Sage Realm.
However, he could not fly in the void anymore.
This was a very self-contradictory phenomenon. His Qi had been restored but he could not fly. There seemed to be a special restriction formation in the void, banning the flying ability of a master. There were exclamations in the sky, and figures fell down one after another. It seemed that this did not happen to Ding Hao alone.
“This is really strange. It should be a kind of restriction formation of the rules, which specifically targets the flying ability.”
Ding Hao thought for a while and rushed toward the strange peak in the distance.
After being transformed by the Jade in Stone, his physical strength was comparable to that of a Semi God Realm Master. The bones and flesh of his legs were not only full of explosive power but also seemed to be able to absorb the energy from the earth with every step he took. His rhythm followed that of the earth. When he ran, he was like a human-shaped fierce beast. With one step, the ground cracked, leaving a gray dust tornado behind him. His speed was as fast as lightning!
“So fast!”
“Who is that?”
“Ahahaha, my Qi power has finally been restored. It has finally been restored. I don’t have to worry about it anymore. Let’s see which bastard dares to rely on his physical cultivation to continue to bully others…” Someone soon found that the Qi in his body was active. He shouted excitedly.
For many masters with Qi cultivation, these days were simply a combination of nightmares and grievances.
When their Qi power, which they were proud of, was being suppressed and they could not exert their usual combat strength, they had to keep their tails between their legs. They nearly died in the Battle of the Chosen on the golden fighting rings. But now, as soon as they entered the floating mountain range, the suppressive power disappeared and they could exert their mighty power again. Many masters instantly regained their confidence and had more confidence in obtaining the Immortal Artifact.
The only pity was that it was impossible to fly in this floating mountain range. Everyone had to walk.
It might be a special kind of suppression by the rules.
After a short period of shock and acclimatization, everyone rushed toward the towering strange peak in the distance. Even in the green mountains, they could still clearly see the strange peak piercing into the clouds like a divine sword and clearly feel layers of chaotic Spiritual Qi!
Ding Hao was like a human-shaped tyrannosaurus, leaping forward in the mountains.
With a bang, he landed on the ground, and the rocks cracked. Countless cracks appeared under his feet like a spider web, and a deep pit was formed. The next moment, he jumped up again. Although he couldn’t fly, there was no restriction on jumping. The strong explosive power of his legs allowed him to jump thousands of meters with each jump, which was comparable to flying close to the ground.
“The suppression of Qi power has been removed, which means that those masters with powerful Qi cultivation have restored their combat capability. Even if they can’t fly, their combat strength will still increase sharply. This is definitely bad news for the Beast Clan and the people who practice physical cultivation…” Ding Hao was a little worried.
Fortunately, something like this only occurred in the floating mountain range, and the suppressive power of the rules still existed between heaven and earth outside the mountain range. Therefore, he didn’t have to worry that the people, who practiced physical cultivation in the Vast Ocean, would encounter any danger.
Boom!
Rocks were shattered. Ding Hao rose into the air and landed on a stone peak. He looked into the distance.
“Well? No, what’s that…” He suddenly opened his eyes wide. Inconceivably, he saw that in the vast mountain ridge over five kilometers away from him, there were more than ten clusters of bright lights of different colors with long tails. Like meteors flying close to the ground, they plowed the ground and the forest and flew toward the highest peak like arrows.
They were figures.
They were figures flying at high speed close to the ground.
Ding Hao was greatly shocked.
“There are people ahead of me?
“That’s not right. According to the situation just now, I should be among the first ones to set off. Even if some people are ahead of me, it’s absolutely impossible for them to get so far away. Moreover, these figures can fly close to the ground in the floating mountain range and resist the power of the restriction formation of the rules…
“What sort of strength is required to achieve this?”
Ding Hao was shocked and immediately ran his Martial Arts Third Eye to have a look.
Now he could see everything five kilometers away.
Then, Ding Hao’s expression changed in an instant.
It turned out to be those people!
They had not appeared before, not because they were not in the area of the Saint-alighting Mountain Range, nor were they not interested in the Immortal Artifact, but because they had used some magical power to avoid their imprisonment by the Gold Divine Halls and the Battle of the Chosen. They were also the first ones to appear here.
This was unexpected, but it also seemed reasonable.
Even Ding Hao had to admit that with the strength of these people, it was not impossible to do this even if it was difficult.
Ding Hao even thought of something else.
Ding Hao’s Mind Essential intuition told him that these people seemed to have long known something. They should have been prepared for what had happened before, so they not only avoided the imprisonment by the Gold Divine Halls but also came here before everyone else. Everything seemed to be under their control.
It could be seen that most people were only trying their luck when they competed for the Immortal Artifact. Only a few people in the large forces and super sects with powerful backgrounds knew the inside information.
After seeing a few people among those figures, Ding Hao was a little relieved.
As expected, his father had made his move.
In this way, he only needed to follow other people in the dark and find a suitable opportunity to help his father’s people. Then, in the competition for the Immortal Artifact, they could definitely make the God’s Palace suffer a loss, just like the last time when they did it in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. This was better than revealing himself at the beginning.
Thinking of this, Ding Hao slightly exerted strength in his legs and jumped down from the stone peak. After he landed, he took the time to move forward as if using Star Pellet Jumping.
However, right at this moment, something unexpected occurred—
Suddenly, a stream of flowing light rushed out from one side without warning. With thunderous momentum, it was like a fierce and poisonous thorn suddenly bursting out. It tried to knock Ding Hao hard.
Boom!
Ding Hao reacted instantly and made a move in a backhand manner. The two sides fought fiercely in the air.
The huge force knocked him to the air obliquely and he hit a stone forest fiercely. Crushed stones flew in all directions. Ding Hao barely stopped after breaking an unknown number of stone pillars with a diameter of several meters. Before the smoke and dust fell in front of him, the figure which was like a poisonous thorn continued to chase after him like a shadow.
“Go away!” Ding Hao shouted furiously, and the divine sword Sky Attack was already in his hand.
