CHAPTER 349: CHAPTER 239 UNEXPECTED CHANGES_2

The little world, like breathing, absorbs the Qi of Chaos from the void outside, digesting and transforming it into Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, slowly enhancing the foundation of this world.

Unfortunately, the methods of the Five Elements Sword Sect plundered it, turning it into energy for the Five Elements Void Battleship, preventing the little world from enhancing its foundation.

Now, a terrifying thing has occurred: the lines surrounding the entire world, or rather, the formidable grand array, have come into play.

As the Master of the World, Small Knife feels the Spiritual Qi and Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi of the entire world being drawn away.

Warning, warning, the mysterious grand array is intensifying the devouring of the world origin.

Warning, warning, the world level is decreasing, spirit veins’ growth has halted, and the spiritual eyes have started to dissipate due to insufficient Spiritual Qi.

Warning, warning...!

Small Knife fully operates the power of the Master of the World.

The core Earth God’s radiance greatly increases, and the four great barracks at the Four Extremes emit light to suppress the entire world in conjunction with the earth veins.

The effect is noticeable, the grand array’s suction covering the entire world is resisted by thirty percent, slowing down the decrease in the little world’s level.

But that is all.

As time passes, Small Knife can’t help but smile bitterly.

His fists clenched tightly, helpless.

The strange patterns in the sky slowly dissipated, the suction disappeared, reduced to the lowest level, and now the little world, absorbing the Qi of Chaos from the Outer Realm void, generates enough energy foundation to sustain this minimum suction, reaching a balance of income and expenditure.

However, the little world has been reduced to its original state, the upper limit reverted to Level 200, capable of supporting only the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment of the Second Realm.

This infuriated Small Knife, but he was helpless.

After paying so much of a price, allowing tens of thousands of otherworldly invasions, the hard-earned gains were entirely absorbed by the Five Elements Void Battleship.

Having suffered so much for nothing feels like a return to before liberation after one battle.

...!

Ha ha!

Cheerful laughter rang out.

After enduring so long, it’s a rare piece of good news.

This is a meeting among the higher-ups within the Five Elements Void Battleship.

Unexpectedly, the little world experienced an outburst, providing a great deal of energy to the void battleship, allowing us to last at least another century.

Indeed, with this century, reinforcements will definitely arrive.

Otherwise, exploiting the little world’s origin to sustain the Five Elements Void Battleship is like killing the chicken to keep warm.

"The mysteries of the world are endless; who would have thought that after being absorbed for so long, a little world would still have an outburst," an elder among the higher-ups sighed.

"But we must not be careless. The appearance and disappearance of over ten thousand void passages, they can bypass the grand array’s blockade, and we have yet to find out their nature."

"Indeed! The methods are strange, but for now, it seems they can only enter lesser levels anyway; they should not be able to fully break through the array’s limits."

"It would be impolite not to reciprocate; since we can’t fully analyze these void passages for now, we can launch a counterattack."

"I second that. Having obtained a considerable amount of origin this time, we can indeed make a counterattack as a supplement to our defense."

Seconded!

Approved!

...!

While Small Knife was fuming, an order came from above.

It was a forced mission, requiring all disciples of the Five Elements Swordsmanship Sect to participate, with each allowed to bring no more than a thousand Daoist Soldiers.

But this time, it’s a forced mission, no exemption possible, and sect contribution points are doubled.

After checking it, Small Knife cursed under his breath but had no choice but to ride his flying sword.

Being late would result in serious charges of betraying the sect.

The market price of Daoist Soldiers skyrocketed, and there wasn’t enough time for adequate coordination.

His underlings were not yet proficient in battle arrays.

Contemplating this, Small Knife decided to go alone.

The enormous Five Elements Void Battleship floated in the void, surrounded by infinite chaotic Qi.

This is the endless void between worlds where Chaos can dissolve all things, and even Immortals cannot linger for long.

Those below the Immortal level, upon contact, would be assimilated into the void by the Qi of Chaos.

The Five Elements Void Battleship’s ability to navigate the void relies on a supreme treasure refined with the world’s shell and protective Heaven and Earth Embryonic Membrane as its core.

The grand array set with this supreme treasure as the core is the Nine Bends Five Elements Celestial Net.

This supreme treasure is both a supreme treasure and a grand array and also serves as the Five Elements Void Battleship’s exterior shield, protecting against Immortals and the erosion of chaotic Qi.

This grand array constantly suffers from invaders numbering in billions and has been restricted in this part of the void for over a century.

The invaders are primarily vast Immortal Cities; even when covered by the Nine Bends Five Elements Celestial Net, it’s not easy to eradicate them.

In a battle of this magnitude, a century is only the blink of an eye.

But in reality, countless cultivators fall every minute, every second.

Suddenly, 360 points of light appeared in the void, transforming instantly into 360 stars, suddenly expanding.

The Nine Bends Five Elements Celestial Net abruptly expanded more than a hundred times, encompassing a vaster cosmos.

In a flash, 359 stars disappeared.

The last one instead brightened, broke apart, turning into a sky full of stars, roaring past like a meteor shower.

They blasted towards the massive Immortal City.

The floating Immortal City immediately lit up with various protective light shields, while different array lights lit up.

Each star getting destroyed,

but quite a few hit the city’s protective shield.

Clearly, these arrays forming protective shields are extraordinarily powerful, difficult to breach, but they still pushed the Immortal City back millions of miles.

These Immortal Cities evidently formed a grand array as well, but the sudden attack caused many to crash into the void.

Lost within the Nine Bends Five Elements Celestial Net, their tracks vanished.

Small Knife was standing on the Flying Ship, watching all of this.

It’s clear that some Great Power was casting spells, enabling Small Knife and the Outer Sect disciples to see clearly.

Like a three-dimensional projection covering the sky, a strong figure provides explanations.

This Flying Ship doesn’t look big, but it carries over ten thousand Outer Sect disciples, a thousand Inner Sect disciples, with ten Core disciples taking the lead.

More than a few such Flying Ships.

And each disciple, even if they are just Outer Sect disciples, comes with a large number of Daoist Soldiers, the level of warfare far exceeds what Small Island could imagine.

The scene shifts to reveal a giant floating Immortal City.

Perhaps due to the distance, it becomes clearer, and its size is even more overwhelming.

Countless meteors emerge from the void, transforming into colossal illusory flying swords, each seemingly over a hundred miles long, crashing down like a meteor shower.

Inside the anti-air light shield on the Immortal City is Hongji.

The light shield’s surface distorts, turning into enormous beast mouths, devouring the incoming flying swords.

Amazingly, they swallowed them all.

But more bladestorms appear around.

According to the guide, these are the effects of arrays, and this Immortal City is their current target.

Ready!

The order came from above.

Small Knife noticed the Flying Ship he was on transformed into a sword shape, charging towards the empty city.

In other directions, some groups of flying swords merged into larger ones, some morphed into beast forms, and others spun rapidly.

The attacks became more fierce.

The Flying Ship carrying Small Knife transformed into a sword shape, speeding ahead, its pace quickening.

This made the Immortal City in Small Knife’s vision grow larger, as its various ant-like structures became clearer.

Getting closer to the light shield.

Boom, boom...!

The bombarding flying swords appeared ahead at some point, striking consecutively at one location.

They tore open a fissure.

The fissure rapidly healed.

But Small Knife and others’ Flying Ship, taking the shape of a sword, swiftly pierced through it.

Damn!

Inside the light shield, naturally closer, Small Knife saw clearly, that the numerous structures in the Immortal City were all sorts of massive, strange Mechanical Beasts.

Some long-range attacks fired from these Mechanical Beasts.

Many mechanical structures even took to the skies.

As for other Mechanical Puppet Beasts, they were densely packed, countless in number.

Fortunately, the target wasn’t solely their own flying sword-shaped Flying Ship.

Giant flying swords whizzed past, limitless in number.

Explosions echoed everywhere.

Other flying swords landing and exploding caused enormous destruction.

Nobody knows when Small Knife’s flying sword-shaped Flying Ship landed.

"Quick, follow!" called out an Inner Sect disciple in front, piloting his sword forward without hesitation.

Being part of the same squad, Small Knife immediately followed, alongside over a hundred Outer Sect disciples.

Puppet Beasts came attacking from all directions, and these Outer Sect disciples immediately took out their Soldier Tokens, summoning Daoist Soldiers.
