1547 The News Travels Far
Far from the Desolate Blood Battlefield, or even the Holy Topaz Empire, an old man was having a relaxing time. He was resting on the balcony of a large residence that was built entirely from wood and rocks.
The large residence stood on top of a mountain that was surrounded by a vast forest. Two waterfalls could even be seen on the sides of the mountains, adding several points to its beauty.
The fine mist spreading from the waterfalls merged into the surroundings, giving it an unfathomable appearance.
Inside this residence though,though, a man was walking with a pensive appearance. He walked past several groups of servants before appearing on the topmost floor. He opened the door, revealing the elegantly decorated room that stood behind it.
And at the very back of the room, one could see the open balcony at which the old man was sitting.
“My Lord! It’s an emergency! A Transcendent has been born!” The man said out loud.
“What do you mean, a Transcendent has been born?” Old Man Lao almost dropped the cup that he was holding in his hand.
“There is confirmed news that a Transcendent Immortal Tribulation has appeared in the Desolate Blood Battlefield.” The man that seemed to be dressed as a steward replied.
“Impossible! Any Transcendent Immortal Tribulation will cause a great phenomenon and its energy cannot be hidden. All experts on the Rust Sky world should have known about it the moment it started, including me.” Old Man Lao said, feeling doubtful.
“This is true, my lord. There isn’t just one, but thousands of live witnesses of the event.” The steward affirmed before taking out a crystal disk. “Please take a look, this was sent though our people form the Desolate Blood Battlefield.” He stated.
~SHUA~
He released the crystal disk, which floated up and created a formation screen in the air. On it, the scene of the Desolate Blood Battlefield appeared. The bloody lands were hard to forget, after all.
But that wasn’t all, as a few moments later, the appearance of dark clouds was seen.
~CRACK~
“This…” The old man let go of his cup, which fell and cracked.
Thankfully, it hadn’t fallen from a high place, or it might have shattered entirely.
~RUMBLE~
The sound of thunder could be felt from the formation screen, still being able to inspire the fear that the live witnesses of it had felt back then. Pure White lightning streaked across the dark clouds, showing its might.
“Extreme Yang Lightning Immortal Tribulation?” But after seeing its appearance, old man Lao was once more in doubt. “This isn’t a transcendent Immortal Tribulation, this is just a Variant Lightning Immortal Tribulation.” He spoke.
“It isn’t over yet, my lord. There’s more…” The steward seemed to be quite shaken too.
Old Man Lao continued to watch and soon saw the second Immortal Tribulation.
Black winds seethed and ripped across the terrain, rising up into the sky as if announcing its presence. The change on the old man’s face confirmed that the man had identified the tribulation.
“Extreme Yin Wind Immortal Tribulation… how can there be two?!” The old man was stunned.
He watched as the two Immortal Tribulations merged together before transforming into a form he had never seen before. In his thousands of years of life, Old Man Lao had actually seen tens of Transcendent Immortal Tribulations. Some he had seen in the Rust Sky world, while the rest he had seen in the myriad of worlds that were spread across the universe.
Thus, he knew just how many kinds of Transcendent Tribulations there could be, and even then, this was his first time seeing a Transcendent Immortal Tribulation that was like this.
pAn,D a-n0ve1,c-o-m “It cannot be… this cannot be…” Old Man Lao was shaking.
~THUD~
The arrest of the chair he was sitting on was directly shattered due to his crushing grip. The composed Old Man Lao had lost control of his strength!
If the top level experts of the Rust Sky world were to know this, they would be quite stunned. They would have a hard time believing the sly old man would break his composure like this.
Still, it was certainly something that was worth him acting like this. Perhaps they would act similarly too.
“I need to speak to the Emperors! Right away!” Old Man Lao said before standing up.
He directly shoved the table away and jumped off the balcony!
“SHA’ER! COME THERE’S NO TIME TO LOSE!” Old Man Lao shouted.
~PIII!~
Just a moment later, the melodious cry of a bird was heard.
~WHOOSH~
A strong wind blew as a large bird beast rose from the vast forest. It had six wings of of a great span, and looked to be rather regal.
It was none other than the Six Winged Bloom Tail Crane!
The beast seemed to have recovered from the threat of the Saintess from back then.
~PII~
The beast flapped its wings and appeared under the old man.
“Fly to the Huiqing Capital, right now!” The old man said firmly.
~PIII!~
Letting out a cry in acknowledgment, the Six Winged Bloom Tail Crane gathered powers within its wings and flapped them hard.
~BOOM~
The beast directly broke the sound barrier and turned into a blur that disappeared over the horizon. Its speed was great and could compare to that of Little Shrubby too.
It flew past thousand of mountains before appearing on top of a massive city. This was none other than the Capital City of the Huiqing Empire. And at its center stood its royal place that was inhabited by the Emperor.
Of course, being the residence of the emperor, it had high security and hundreds of defensive arrays covered it. And yet, the Six Winged Bloom Tail Crane passed through them as if they were nothing.
It arrived at the garden behind the palace and let the Old man land.
~shua~
The old man took a step and was directly teleported to inside the castle. He appeared in the grand hall where two men were pensively looking at a formation screen.
