Vol 7 Chapter 46: Foreign Battlefield
The Demonic Race cultivators still hadn't arrived?
Lin Jing sensed something was wrong.
For some time afterward, Lin Jing also remained hidden in the shadows, constantly monitoring the progression of the Heaven's Mandate struggle.
As time passed, the previously unstoppable Glazed Immortal King showed a visible decline in momentum. Even machines couldn't work endlessly without rest, let alone the Glazed Immortal King engaged in such high-intensity combat.
The Glazed Immortal King's deteriorating condition gave Lin Jing the feeling that a storm was brewing, sensing that a group of people would soon make their move!
"Impossible!"
However, to Lin Jing and the other powerhouses' surprise, those who subsequently appeared weren't Demonic Race Immortal Kings at all. Accompanied by an emperor's might that swept across the sky, the Glazed Immortal King in a certain location also revealed a grave expression.
"Demonic Race Immortal Emperor?"
Watching the massive vortex forming in the sky, she felt somewhat indignant. She hadn't expected to be the first to obtain the Heaven's Mandate, but since she had obtained it, she intended to defend it. However, she hadn't anticipated it would be so difficult to protect. It was one thing for Immortal Lords to come snatching, but this Demonic Race Immortal Emperor actually broke the unwritten rules by personally intervening.
Not only the Glazed Immortal King, even Lin Jing had completely misjudged the situation. After all, according to Eastern Glorious Immortal Emperor's assessment, the Demon Lord should currently be recuperating. How could he so frequently utilize the power of the Heavenly Dao's Supreme Treasure? Wasn't he afraid other Immortal Emperors would take advantage of his weakness?
"Demon, you've overstepped your bounds."
Sure enough, the moment the Demon Lord appeared, transcendent power simultaneously emanated from various Immortal Emperor lineages. The pressure of multiple Immortal Emperors enveloped the emerging Demon Lord from vast distances.
"So what?" The Demon Lord, shrouded in black mist with his true form indiscernible, laughed heartily and directly withstood the pressure of numerous Immortal Emperors, attempting to strike at the Glazed Immortal King.
However, even though he wielded the Heavenly Dao's Supreme Treasure, he ultimately couldn't simultaneously confront so many Immortal Emperors, and his advance was halted.
But just then, a situation that even the numerous Immortal Emperors hadn't anticipated occurred. Following the Demon Lord, another Immortal Emperor-level powerhouse appeared, and what's more, it was an Immortal Emperor completely unknown to anyone!!!
"Foreign God Race!"
The moment this Immortal Emperor appeared, the numerous Immortal Emperors immediately discerned his origins, feeling utterly astonished. After all, the Foreign God Race was a major clan from another Ancient Immortal Realm. Their Immortal Emperors, their entire race, should have perished during their entry into the Immortal Realm long ago—they were the defeated party in the invasion war against the Immortal Realm.
The Foreign God Race Immortal Emperor should have long been dead.
"Demonic Race junior, this old man will only help you this much. Remember your promise." The Foreign God Race Immortal Emperor appeared quickly and departed just as swiftly, because not all Immortal Emperors were targeting the Demon Lord. However, the moment the Foreign God Race Immortal Emperor emerged, the reclusive Solitary Immortal Emperor and Prison Suppressing Immortal Emperor, who typically remained aloof from worldly affairs, actually intervened this time.
The instant they made their move, the Foreign God Race Immortal Emperor's body seemed to self-detonate, triggering extraordinary power. The Glazed Immortal King's figure directly vanished from the Northern Frontier under spatial force, transported to an unknown location.
"Don't escape!" Witnessing this, the Master of Heavenly Demon Mountain tore open a spatial rift following the Glazed Immortal King's teleportation fluctuations. Just as his Immortal Emperor power attempted to probe through to rescue the Glazed Immortal King, he abruptly discovered that the other side connected to the Foreign Battlefield.
The origins of the Foreign Battlefield were already untraceable, and the method to enter had been lost for a long time. However, according to records, the Foreign Battlefield was an "Emperor Forbidden Land"—Immortal Emperors fundamentally couldn't enter, its rules overwhelmingly powerful. Thus, many Immortal Emperors suspected that the Foreign Battlefield might have been created by a certain Dao Lord.
Therefore, the Demon Lord and Foreign God Race Immortal Emperor's intention in sending the Glazed Immortal King into the Foreign Battlefield was self-evident.
Successfully isolating her, making it impossible for her to receive Immortal Emperor-level protection, while others fundamentally lacked means to enter the Foreign Battlefield. The solitary Glazed Immortal King would likely face continuous assaults from Demonic Race Immortal Kings.
Under such circumstances, the Glazed Immortal King fundamentally couldn't possibly defend the Heaven's Mandate.
"Understood, old fellow." While the other Immortal Emperors all attempted to prevent the Foreign Battlefield from closing, the Demon Lord broke free from the pressure.
However, aside from the Foreign God Race Immortal Emperor, the other Immortal Emperors fundamentally couldn't control the Foreign Battlefield. Soon, the Foreign Battlefield's passage closed at extreme speed.
..........
"What... what's happening?" Lin Jing, who had been hiding in the shadows the entire time, changed expression, helplessly watching as the Glazed Immortal King was teleported away.
Even the numerous Immortal Emperors were powerless to do anything, so naturally he could only watch.
Foreign God Race Immortal Emperor?
Foreign Battlefield?
Where did this unknown Immortal Emperor emerge from, becoming the Demon Lord's ally!
The Immortal Realm was in an uproar.
"Lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own feet." Among the Immortal Emperors, Exquisite Immortal Emperor snorted coldly. They clearly knew the Demonic Race might seize the Heaven's Mandate, yet they allowed the Heaven's Mandate to remain with a junior, believing they could restrain the Demon Lord. And the result?
An unknown Immortal Emperor appeared, directly disrupting the situation.
The other Immortal Emperors also wore cold expressions, having no choice but to continue attacking the Demon Lord. The Demon Lord indeed had significant prior consumption, directly vomiting blood and fleeing, but relying on the Heavenly Dao's Supreme Treasure, the Immortal Emperors couldn't stop him.
Meanwhile, Lin Jing, who had somewhat figured out what happened, felt anxious.
In the Foreign Battlefield, the Glazed Immortal King was isolated without support, surrounded by numerous Demonic Race Immortal Kings. She absolutely couldn't withstand this.
If her Heaven's Mandate was seized, it would be better if the Demonic Race wanted to cultivate a second Immortal Emperor. But if they cultivated a Heaven's Mandate demonic cultivator to descend to the Lower Realm, his Main Body over there wouldn't have certain victory, because his Main Body's greatest advantage in dominating the Lower Realm was his Heaven's Mandate body.
"Indeed, there are still reclusive Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Realm. It's a Foreign Immortal Emperor who should have died in the Immortal Emperor war long ago. However, even if he barely survived, why would he help the Demon Lord..."
"Wait!" Lin Jing suddenly thought of something. Helping the Demon Lord necessarily meant having requests of the Demon Lord. Knowing the Demon Lord's ambitions yet still having requests of him...
"This Immortal Emperor, could he be from the same race as one of the four mysterious Immortal Emperors who invaded Earth's Heavenly Court back then? The Demonic Race wants to retrieve the Demon Ancestor's bones and their race's imperial artifact. Then he might also want something, hence cooperating with the Demon Lord."
Realizing this, Lin Jing felt it was absolutely necessary to inform the Imperial Consorts.
Additionally.
These Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Realm seemed unaware of how to enter the Foreign Battlefield. Lin Jing planned to ask the Imperial Consorts—the Ancient Heavenly Court might know. If they hurried, they might still have a chance to support the Glazed Immortal King, preventing her Heaven's Mandate from being seized.
..........
The smuggling secret path opened again, information crossing realms. The incarnation saw the information and immediately entered the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb with a serious expression, reporting everything in detail.
"Foreign God Race?!" The Imperial Consorts were furious, feeling this was highly possible.
"We don't know how to open the Foreign Battlefield, but among the Emperor's Tomb burial artifacts, there are secret keys to the Foreign Battlefield that can be used for round trips. However, there are only two, and with Earth's rules incomplete, it's probably difficult to connect to the Foreign Battlefield from Earth right now."
"That's good enough. Two are sufficient—they were originally meant to be sent to the Immortal Realm for the Third Incarnation and the others to use." Lin Jing breathed a sigh of relief. "Have the Third Incarnation support the Glazed Immortal King. We absolutely cannot let the Heaven's Mandate fall into the Demonic Race's hands, or the consequences would be unimaginable."
Having a method to enter the Foreign Battlefield was good. This place only allowed those below Immortal Emperor to enter. Since that was the case, two keys meant both he and the Mechanized Turtle could enter. The Holy Clan Power carried by the Mechanized Turtle could definitely help the Glazed Immortal King.
However, the Holy Clan Power wasn't abundant—whether it could reverse the crisis remained uncertain.
Lin Jing himself also had significant usefulness because he had fused with the Heaven's Mandate and had some understanding of it. Although his strength was far inferior to the Glazed Immortal King's, he might help the Glazed Immortal King deepen her utilization of the Heaven's Mandate, thereby allowing the Glazed Immortal King to greatly increase her own strength and find a way to confront all the Demonic Race Immortal Kings alone.
"Among the Demonic Race, the powerful Immortal Kings include the Nine Heavenly Demon Children. However, the most terrifying should be the current Demon Lord's master, the Grand Elder Demon Master who has reached Quasi-Emperor realm."
Immortal Realm.
After the Third Incarnation obtained the Foreign Battlefield secret keys, he took a deep breath and said to the Mechanized Turtle and Ice Soul Gu beside him: "There's no contract between you and me. I don't know if we can be teleported together relying on just one key. If we can, that would be better. If not, the Mechanized Turtle and I will go to the Foreign Battlefield. Ice Soul Gu, you stay and wait."
"Ah?" The Ice Soul Gu looked worried.
"Be good."
"Received!"
Foreign Battlefield.
A long time had passed since the Glazed Immortal King was forcibly teleported here. By now, the Glazed Immortal King was indeed suffering joint encirclement and attacks from the Demonic Race Immortal Kings.
Eight Immortal Kings in total!
They were precisely the Demon Lord's most outstanding descendants, the Nine Heavenly Demon Children. However, one of them, the One-Eyed King, had already perished, leaving only eight remaining.
These eight were completely different from those who had besieged the Glazed Immortal King earlier—each possessed extraordinary strength, having originated from an Immortal Emperor lineage. Despite the Glazed Immortal King's formidable power, she was now steadily retreating, growing increasingly weaker.
"Glazed Immortal King, be sensible and voluntarily surrender the Heaven's Mandate. We might spare your life." Among the Nine Heavenly Demon Children, Mo Feng at the Ninth Heaven of Immortal King realm spoke indifferently.
The Glazed Immortal King's nine-colored glazed robes were now covered in dust and bloodstains. Facing the eight Demonic Race Immortal Kings before her, her expression remained impassive.
"Sensible? I've never known those two words."
"If you want what belongs to this king, come take it yourselves."
"Even if this king cannot keep it, today, at least four of you eight must die!"
"Stubbornly clinging to ignorance." The Absolute Sword Immortal King swung her sword. In this Foreign Battlefield, the Glazed Immortal King was already a turtle in a jar. However, just then, something that surprised both the Eight Heavenly Demon Children and the Glazed Immortal King occurred—under the sword light, as a figure appeared, a turtle shell-shaped Holy Clan Power shield blocked this strike for the Glazed Immortal King.
Behind the shield was a youth dressed in white robes, also carrying a turtle shell on his back.
His appearance surprised both sides.
"Who?!"
"This is... Holy Clan Power? Holy Clan Power that can affect Demonic Race power, and moreover advanced Holy Clan Power... You're the turtle demon who killed Mo Yuan!"
After a brief exchange, the Eight Heavenly Demon Children's expressions changed, though they didn't understand how Lin Jing had entered the Foreign Battlefield.
Weren't they told that currently only the Foreign God Race Immortal Emperor possessed the method to open the Foreign Battlefield?
"Let's go." The Third Incarnation's appearance wasn't Lin Jing's, since Lin Jing's portraits were everywhere in the Immortal Realm. Currently, he was Lin Qi. Upon seeing the Glazed Immortal King, Lin Jing didn't waste words, immediately pulling her to begin fleeing. The Glazed Immortal King didn't resist because...
When Lin Jing turned to look at her, she clearly saw flickering in Lin Jing's eyes... the Glazed Immortal Eye.
Utilizing the Mechanized Turtle's spatial escape technique, the two rapidly traversed through the Foreign Battlefield. Behind them, the Eight Heavenly Demon Children's expressions shifted, and they pursued together.
The Glazed Immortal King said: "I didn't expect support to..."
Lin Jing said: "Senior, next, I'll transmit a secret technique to you. This technique concerns advanced utilization of the Heaven's Mandate. During the process of learning this technique, your understanding of the Heaven's Mandate will definitely reach a higher level. At that time, below Immortal Emperor, you'll have no match."
"However, time is urgent. When I learned it, it took considerable time. But you must master it within an extremely short period now."
Lin Jing wasn't worried about whether the Glazed Immortal King had the aptitude to learn the Heavenly Emperor's Seven Dominions. During the Heaven's Mandate struggle, the Glazed Immortal King had perfectly demonstrated her Control Dao talent in commanding synthesized creatures to kill enemies.
"Don't worry." The Glazed Immortal King nodded.
Simultaneously, through contact, the Heaven's Mandate secret technique named "Heavenly Emperor's Seven Dominions" transmitted into the Glazed Immortal King's mind. Regarding teaching this technique, Lin Jing had obtained the Imperial Consorts' permission. Having the Glazed Immortal King obtain powerful strength through Heaven's Mandate power was the only method to break the situation that Lin Jing could think of.
Heavenly Emperor's Seven Dominions...
The Glazed Immortal King allowed Lin Jing to pull her along as they fled, wholeheartedly comprehending the mysteries of the Heaven's Mandate within the Heavenly Emperor's Seven Dominions. She directly consumed an imperial-grade immortal medicine she had synthesized herself that temporarily increased comprehension. Since obtaining the Heaven's Mandate, she had been constantly fighting, with no time to contemplate the Heaven's Mandate power. Now, this Heavenly Emperor's Seven Dominions containing Heaven's Mandate utilization gave her immense enlightenment.
"So that's how it is. I can use my Immortal Pupil power to synthesize seven Immortal King puppets, then bestow them with the Heavenly Emperor's Seven Dominions. This way, dealing with these Nine Heavenly Demon Children wouldn't be difficult." The Glazed Immortal King's Immortal Pupil flickered as she spoke:
"Lin Jing, right? When I achieve Immortal Emperor status, I will definitely repay this favor."
After speaking, seven monsters synthesized from Immortal King skeletal remains, souls, organs, and some top-tier immortal materials manifested before the Glazed Immortal King.
These monsters appeared to have only early Immortal King cultivation, very weak, unable to withstand a single strike from any Demon Child. However, as the Glazed Immortal King divided the Heaven's Mandate power into seven portions and utilized the Heaven's Mandate power, these seven monsters immediately underwent unbelievable evolution.
Seven synthesized beings evolved to the extreme in different domains directly intercepted the Eight Great Demon Children ahead.
