Chapter 760 - Paving the Road for the Seven Dimensions
Chapter 760: Paving the Road for the Seven Dimensions
Ever since he became entangled with the stele in the first dimension, he had often heard the seventh dimension being mentioned. The seventh dimension repeatedly destroyed the Eldritchs’ plan, giving them headaches to no end. As a bystander, he thought that the whole thing was laughable.
However, he never expected that after the Eldritchs, the nightmare of the seventh dimension would descend upon him, foiling his plans repeatedly. He could not believe that the seventh dimension would go as far as chasing him to the sixth dimension.
The Soul Master’s face was solemn. She swung the Chaos Flag with force, and immediately, a majestic force of Wisdom blitzed toward ‘Guhui’s’ attack. However, she was still no match for him even though he was seriously injured. His force blasted through the Soul Master’s attack and sent her reeling back.
The killing intent in ‘Guhui’s’ eyes increased. “Surely you underestimate me by coming here alone! Die!” he said coldly.
He gathered countless Origins in his hand, condensing it into a giant energy claw that extended toward the Soul Master. The sky lost its color under the overwhelming force, annihilating the Wisdom around them. No one would be able to block this attack at all!
Before the attack fell, the Soul Master could already feel the terrifying force pressing down on her. All the colors drained from her face as she spurted out a mouthful of blood.
“With the power of the stars, Yin and Yang reversal!” The Soul Master’s eyes burst with brilliance as she infused the Chao Flag with her power. Immediately, the flag was rejuvenated. It stood up straight in the Chaos, representing the power of the world!
The stars began to spin and the light it gave off transformed into the power of heaven and earth under the command of the Soul Master. Instantly, the starlight swept toward ‘Guhui’ like a tsunami.
However, the Soul Master was trembling and her movement slowed. Every wave of the Chaos Flag seemed to exhaust all her powers and aura. All the power of heaven and earth would be useless if she did not have the energy to use it. It was as if she was only a drop in an ocean, insignificant and weak. Still, she carried on as if she would never fall.
“Huh! Impressive.” ‘Guhui’ nodded approvingly but then his savage smile returned. “But, my power has already far surpassed those of a dimension! You cannot stop me!”
He launched a palm strike again.
Suddenly, a light of destruction shot across from the distance, helping the Soul Master push ‘Guhui’s’ palm strike back.
“Soul Master, I’m willing to let everything be water under the bridge since you’re helping the sixth dimension prevent a catastrophe!” shouted Yanmo. He had brought along his cyclops clan to fight against ‘Guhui’.
Immediately after, countless ultimate spells were bombarded at ‘Guhui’ like thousands of stars. The monks from the sixth dimension had joined in the fight as well!
“How irksome! Die, you ants!” ‘Guhui’ was at the end of his patience. His anger flared up again. He pointed at the void and in a low voice, he said, “Universe annihilation!”
An extremely terrifying power burst from his fingertips at an appalling speed, annihilating everything wherever the power passed! At this moment, time and space were frozen and everyone found that they were unable to move their bodies.
“It’s over…” Everyone sighed in their hearts, calmly waiting for death to come. They had done everything they could and had no regrets.
Abruptly, a crisp ringing echoed through the void. The sound was not loud, but everyone could hear it. They began to tremble as a strange feeling rose from the bottom of their hearts.
The ringing continued. They had no idea where it came from and it seemed to be whirling in every corner of the dimension. Everyone went silent and ‘Guhui’s’ ultimate spell dissipated quietly without a trace.
“This sound… Is someone building a road?” ‘Guhui’s’ eyes widened as if something unbelievable had happened. He began to tremble. He looked around, and finally, his eyes fixed in a particular direction in the void.
There, a road slowly emerged seemingly with no beginning and endpoint in sight. On it, there seemed to be a few people digging.
“Someone’s really building a road for the seventh dimension! Are they planning to connect the road that was originally cut off from the World of Origins?” exclaimed ‘Guhui’ in disbelief.
“This is impossible! How could such mighty power exist in the seven dimensions? This is…this is...” His voice stopped abruptly as his pupils suddenly shrank out of fear. Then, he turned and ran without hesitation.
“No, this power will erase me!” He did not even think about resisting. His very survival depended on running away as fast as he could.
However, the aura was too mysterious, and the speed was even faster than him. In an instant, the aura fell on ‘Guhui’ and he melted like snow under the sun.
“Why do you keep targeting me!? What exactly is going on in the seven dimensions?” ‘Guhui’ roared with frustration while a heavy gray mist evaporated from his body.
The sound of the excavation remained the same and there were no changes from beginning to end.
The sixth dimension people gulped in unison, staring blankly at the place where ‘Guhui’ had disappeared, thinking they must be hallucinating.
“Such a terrifying existence, gone...just like that!”
“It’s so powerful and incredible! What kind of road is that? Who are those people?”
“I sense that some earth-shattering change is about to happen in the sixth dimension.”
“Where does this road lead to?”
Meanwhile, in the fourth dimension, countless monks were looking up at the sky with shock written all over their faces. They, too, saw the road.
A burst of digging noise resounded in every corner, causing the entire fourth dimension to tremble.
“What happened? What does that road represent?”
“I feel the world changing. This will be a brand new world.”
“Have you noticed that the Origins of our dimension seem to be skyrocketing like crazy?”
At this time, a monk flew in from a distance quickly. “The portals between the various dimensions are expanding! They’re about to be connected!” he shouted in shock.
This phenomenon was the same in all of the seven dimensions.
In the seventh dimension, at the four-part architecture, the Elite King and others were paving the road conscientiously. After everyone’s efforts, the road was about to reach the foot of the mountain. They were all drenched in sweat and decided to take a rest.
Their hearts were filled with shock. When paving the road, they could naturally feel the changes in the seven dimensions. They were not paving mountain roads, but the roads of the seven dimensions!
The seven dimensions became one and were sublimating at a fearful speed. The road to immortality would definitely become even broader after the completion of the project.
Once again, they were awed by the expert. On the surface, it looked like he had asked them to do a trivial thing, but the meaning behind his action was deeper than they could ever imagine. The expert’s mentality was one they could never aspire to achieve.
“You seem very happy. Care to explain why?” asked Jiang Liu curiously to the stele.
The stele had been coated with a layer of cement by Li Nianfan and the bloody red ‘Suppress’ was replaced by three words—’Fallen Immortal Mountain’. It found its final resting place at the foot of the mountain, serving as a landmark.
Excited fluctuations came from the stele. It laughed and said, “Hahaha, the unknown gray mist tried to absorb the sixth dimension’s Origins, but I’ve managed to wipe him out by borrowing the power from the paving of the roads from the expert. It’s true what they say, revenge is best served cold!”
“Wow! That’s impressive! You actually wiped out the unknown gray mist!” said Jiang Liu.
“The expert went through a lot of trouble to produce the cement for me. Not to mention, he also gave me some new words so I can serve as a landmark for the Fallen Immortal Mountain! Of course, I needed to do something to repay him!” said the stele proudly.
“By the way, what happened in the second dimension in those days? And how is it now?” asked Nanan curiously. These questions had been percolating in their minds since the beginning. Everyone turned to look at the stele expectantly.
The stele was silent for a while. Finally, in a grave voice, it said, “Although we’re the battle spirits transformed by the group of people, we haven’t been able to inherit their memories. Therefore, we don’t know many of the things before our birth. We suppressed the seven dimensions for countless years and that was the first time we heard of things beyond the seven dimensions.”
‘Beyond the seven dimensions?’ Hearing this, everyone’s faces stiffened, waiting for the stele to continue.
The stele paused before continuing, “It turns out that the entire seven dimensions are actually just a battlefield, a battlefield between Heaven and our predecessors. At the same time, it’s also a prison tailored for Heaven!”
‘A battlefield and a prison?’ Everyone looked at the stele in disbelief, lost in thought.
“What happened exactly? Go on!” urged the Elite King.
“Originally, the continent to which the seven dimensions belonged was called the Origins Realm. During the Eternal Years, a group of skilled fighters was born. They rebelled against the heavens, and that battle broke the sky and the earth, causing the Origins Realm to collapse. To protect most of the Origins Realm, the group of skilled fighters deliberately cut off a part of the Origins Realm, making it the main battlefield, and at the same time, imprisoning Heaven in it. To the Origins Realm, our seven dimensions are called the Ancient Forbidden Zone.”
The forbidden area meant that it was forbidden for anyone to enter. They did this to protect the seal!
“So that’s what happened.” Everyone nodded with understanding.
Even they would deliberately create an independent space to protect other places from damage when they were in the heat of battle. However, they found the whole thing a little hard to accept. The seven dimensions were just a little corner of a bigger piece of the realm, a prison in fact. Then, what did it make them?
Nanan pouted her lips in disdain and said, “So what if we’re just an offshoot of the Origins Realm! I bet they don’t even have someone as awesome as the expert!”
Everyone broke out in smiles. She was right!
“So what happened to the second dimension?” asked the Elite King.
“Huh! Some *sshats from the Origins Realm went there.” The stele snorted. It tried to suppress the anger in its heart as it continued, “The Origins Realm was also called the Origins God Realm, on account of its ability to create Origins! The upper limit of cultivation there is much higher than that of the seven dimensions. The countless years of peace gave birth to many skilled fighters.
“Some powerful people became blinded by their ambitions and did bad things with no thoughts of consequences. It was inevitable for them to turn their sights to the seven dimensions, wanting to gain the power left by the people who defied Heaven. They even coveted the power of Heaven, too!”
“So they descended to the second dimension, trying to find everything left on the battlefield, which triggered a series of events that soon followed?” asked Shi Tuqin.
The stele sighed and said, “Yes. Heaven was released by those *sshats. They showed no remorse for what they had done and continued to do whatever they wanted in the seven dimensions. My brothers and I cut off the second dimension to prevent the people from the Origins Realm from ever entering the seven dimensions. Hence, there isn’t a second dimension to speak of in the seven dimensions.”
Qin Manyun laughed coldly and said, “The ancestors used their lives to suppress the unknown gray mist, but after enjoying the fruits of ease, the later generations stepped into the forbidden area in pursuit of power and released the unknown. What a joke this whole thing is!”
“How stupid of them! Because of their intrusion, our seven dimensions have suffered countless years of calamity. They deserve to die a thousand times!” scolded Jiang Liu vehemently.
At this time, Li Nianfan and Daji walked down from the mountain. He was smiling, carrying a box of iced soda in his hands.
“You all must be tired! I’ve brought some soda for you all!” said Li Nianfan.
“Thank you, Lord Saint. We’re happy to do this,” said the Elite King and Jiang Liu.
After that, the sound of popping bottles could be heard. They closed their eyes and sighed in enjoyment as soon as the iced soda hit their throats.
The stele looked at them with green eyes of envy. It kept questioning itself in its heart, ‘Why did I choose to turn into a stele? I’m such a fool. I should’ve become something with a mouth!’
Occasionally, a few drops of soda dripped to the ground which the stele quickly absorbed. After everyone finished their drinks, they felt energized and excitedly said, “Lord Saint, we’re well-rested and will get back to work now!”
Li Nianfan nodded with satisfaction.. “Everyone, give your best! There’s only a little section left. Try to finish it by the end of the day!”
