LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 90: The Barrier Breaks!
The terrifying sound, as if coming from the distant ninth heaven!
The entire Southern Territory’s sky, at this moment, was visibly undulating!
It was as if a great terror was unfolding!
The disturbance was so violent that almost everyone from cultivators to mortals in the Southern Territory, and even the entire Xuantian Realm, sensed it!
For a time, the whole world was shocked, and all cultivators were looking towards the sky of the Southern Territory!
The wind and clouds churned, and space was shrieking!
The sky was like a sheet of paper, and some kind of sharp instrument seemed poised to pierce through it!
"The retribution has arrived… That young man really is from the Immortal Domain, and now beings of the Immortal Domain are attempting to cross realms…”
In Taiyan Holy Land, Saint Lord Lingchao’s old wounds had yet to heal, and his expression was ugly!
"Throughout the long river of history, beings from the Immortal Domain crossing realms have been few and far between, yet this time they have mobilized such a grand force… Do they intend to bring about the end of the world?”Yuan Yang felt heavy-hearted, experiencing waves of helplessness!
Even as Almost Immortals, even as the two of them represented the most formidable combat power in the Xuantian Realm, any Immortal from the Immortal Domain could simply press down and crush them!
The only hope was Senior Li…
Both of them couldn’t help but look in the direction of the Cangli Mountain Range, their eyes filled with a mix of anticipation and worry…
"What is going on? Why… Why is someone crossing realms?! A powerful existence from above the Immortal Domain is coming to the Xuantian Realm…”
In the Southern Territory, at the location of Kongming Temple, Saint Teacher Kongming’s old eyes were full of shock!
"The arrival of beings from above the Immortal Domain in the Southern Territory… I fear a great chaos will ensue. If they come, they will be the masters of the Xuantian Realm, and no one will be able to contend against them!”
In the Dugu Family, Dugu Chenlu murmured, his eyes intensely grave!
Countless ordinary cultivators and sects were all abuzz with various speculations!
Some say a devil is about to break free!
Some say immortals are about to descend!
Panic has spread among the people!
The Secret Place, Xuanhuang Mist Sea!
At this moment, the Xuanhuang Mist Sea was nearly boiling over!
In the center of the misty sea, one could see a terrifying tree shadow, its branches turning into chains of order, connecting the heavens; its trunk becoming the laws, guarding the barriers between realms!
The shadow of the tree thrashed wildly!
It was struggling valiantly against the invaders from the Immortal Domain!
"Heh, Sect of the Heavenly Soul in Saint Cloud City still has some strength. It seems they’ve used a good amount of Primitive Realm Stones. Even the World Tree exerting all of its power is barely holding them back.”
At the edge of the Xuanhuang Mist Sea, the Black Robed Figure Wang Chuan sneered with a look that seemed to enjoy the show.
"It was only a matter of time. Once the beings above the Immortal Domain are determined to cross realms, relying on the World Tree of the Lower World alone, there is no stopping them!”
Yu Chenbing spoke indifferently, saying,
“It’s perfect, let the Sect of the Heavenly Soul drain the World Tree for a bit. After this battle is over, we can directly take what’s left of the weakened World Tree!”
Why had they slaughtered so widely in the Xuantian Realm? It was to break the World Tree’s defenses, to drain its energy.
– The World Tree of each realm had its roots in the life force of that realm’s beings. When the powerful creatures all die, the World Tree becomes weak. Then they would have their opportunity.
However, the mysterious existence in the Southern Territory had prevented them from completing this strategy.
Now, as the sect gates of the Immortal Domain sought to cross realms, countless Primitive Realm Stones were tearing the barriers apart whilst simultaneously draining the World Tree’s energy!
This inadvertently helped them tremendously!
The entire world watched with rapt attention!
The Xuantian Realm trembled greatly.
The people of the Southern Territory were terrified!
Within a small courtyard, Nan Feng, Zi Ling, and many other disciples all had a sudden change in expression!
"What’s happening? Why do I feel like… something is about to burst through the sky?!”
Long Zixuan felt a terror that sent shivers down his spine.
"Could it be… Could it be the legendary crossing of realms? Is someone crossing realms?!”
Nan Feng was taken aback!
Fire Spirit and Zi Ling were likewise stunned, but they quickly realized — this… could it be that people from the Immortal Domain were descending to the Lower World?!
"To come this swiftly… With such a commotion… Heavens, what kind of terrifying presence is arriving this time?”
Fire Spirit murmured.
"We’ve really provoked a powerful figure from the Immortal Domain…”
Mu Qianning also seemed somewhat stunned!
Meanwhile, Xinning glanced at the sky, blinked her large eyes, and a hint of worry flitted across.
She suddenly stepped in front of Li Fan and said,
“Big Brother… I’m scared, are the bad people coming to catch me now?”
Upon hearing this, Li Fan just smiled, ruffled Xinning’s hair, and said,
“Don’t worry, it’s just thunder.”
As he spoke, he glanced over at the many disciples and noticed that they all had a look of fear on their faces.
These disciples were really too timid, especially Long Zixuan and the others, grown men scared of thunder, really…
He then looked towards Nan Feng and said,
“Nan Feng, everyone is disturbed by the celestial phenomena, play a piece on your zither to calm everyone’s nerves—”
Li Fan spoke.
A pleasant zither piece would naturally distract everyone and bring about silence.
Upon hearing this, Nan Feng was taken aback.
Have her play the zither?
Was her master suggesting she counter those beings about to cross over from the next world?
She was surprised, for those coming from the Immortal Domain must be far more powerful than the Immortals… Could she do it?
But seeing Li Fan confident and indifferent, she suddenly realized.
Right, with the master present, what could there be to fear? There must be a profound reason behind the master’s instruction!
She immediately said,
“Yes, Nan Feng will play the zither— ”
Having said that, she promptly sat down, arranged the Three Absolute Strings, and began to play.
She took a deep breath to calm herself.
Then, her slender jade fingers touched the strings, gently plucking them!
The sound of the zither began, circulating with the aura of the Immortal Path!
Seeing this, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning were both shocked, finding it incredible.
"Has Lady Nanfeng achieved immortality?”
Fire Spirit could not believe it!
"It seems like Sister Nan Feng has only been with Senior Li for less than two months… To become an Immortal in such a short time, it’s unimaginable…
Mu Qianning’s mouth was already agape.
Soon, Nan Feng found her rhythm in the zither playing, and the tune reached a charming peak.
Long Zixuan and his fellow disciples felt their spirits lifted upon hearing the zither, the panic and fear that they had felt moments ago seemed to be pressed down instantly!
"I must confront those beings crossing into our sky…”
As Nan Feng played the zither, her fingers moved continuously, and immediately, waves of Immortal Path sound waves kept emanating from her hands, passing through the courtyard, across the village, turning into a gentle stream, heading towards the violently fluctuating sky above the Southern Territory!
At this moment.
The boundary walls above the Southern Territory trembled immensely!
They were about to break!
The countless chains of order, extending from some unknown place, and resembling the branches of a large tree, were desperately trying to maintain the boundary walls, but now they were swaying in the storm!
However, a slight stream carrying the power of the Immortal Path suddenly infused into those chains of order!
Strengthened by this immortal power, the countless chains of order suddenly emitted intense light, starting to close the cracks on the walls of the border!
Behind the boundary walls, there was instantly a chorus of roars!
"The World Tree of this realm was clearly unable to hold the boundary walls, why has it suddenly gained divine strength?”
"There must be a power almost as strong as a Profound Immortal aiding that World Tree… The tree itself has the ‘amplification’ principle, just a bit of external force, once through the World Tree, becomes immense!”
"It definitely can’t be from that Demon Cultivator, as an outsider, he can’t gain the recognition of the World Tree… The natives of Xuan Tian are obstructing us!”
Angry voices rang out!
After a long time, an almost roaring ancient voice burst out angrily:
"Pour in all the Primitive Realm Stones, our sect must descend to the Lower World!”
"After descending, slaughter this realm, cut down the World Tree!”
"This is the fate they deserve for defying our Sect of the Heavenly Soul!”
Immediately, on the other side of the boundary walls, a terrifying force of the original realm burst forth!
The boundary walls that were barely starting to recover were once again violently shaken!
Like a deluge breaking through a dam, the invisible walls were torn apart the next instant!
Even the World Tree could not stop it!
An ancient and vast immortal aura burst through the gap between the two worlds, flooding into the sky above the Southern Territory of the Xuan Tian Realm!
The Immortal Domain… had breached the boundary!
