Chapter 1019: Chapter 1019
Dozens of micro airships streaked across, striving to catch up with the giant who was running faster and faster ahead.
The legion commander’s airship charged at the forefront.
The domain of [Dragon Annihilation] had already enveloped all the airships, forcibly increasing the fuel efficiency of the micro airship’s energy core to 120%, the push-back sensation reaching the extreme... Even so, they were barely able to keep up with the traveler’s pace.
As for the others, there’s nothing more to be said.
Except for Aluer’s colossal source energy boat, driven by divine power, which was able to continuously follow, all the other lords and generals were vaguely left behind some distance.
"Aluer! Isn’t Her Majesty prepared to take action yet? Up ahead is the Eastern Continent Territory!"
Zhu Xue whispered into the spiritual link.
Releasing a traveller in the North Continent naturally does not require the consent of the East Continent... But if this big guy runs to the Tundra, that would be terrible. Once it crosses the Tundra’s uninhabited area and reaches some northern city of the East Continent, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Her Majesty says..."
Standing atop the giant boat, Aluer, carrying the light curtain containing countless silver swords, had a complex expression. She had just received a message from the second floor of the pavilion: "Watch."
Not only Zhu Xue, but even Purple Rain was shocked by this answer.
Aluer’s voice, through the spiritual link, transmitted to every micro airship.
All the lords and generals looked rather strange.
They would like to watch, but that big guy’s speed was truly too fast... Just accelerating like that, who could still track its silhouette?
"The place it’s headed to might very well be the Tundra Prison..." Purple Rain spoke again: "Are you sure Her Majesty wants us to watch?"
Aluer’s voice was very calm: "What we need to do now is just quietly watch."
Soon, the traveler arrived at the East Continent.
The North Continent’s source energy boat maintained its high-speed advance, and the East Continent’s three institutes’ heavy machinery immediately set out... After the meeting, they exchanged and interfaced intelligence, and due to receiving high-level orders, this exchange was very smooth.
The North Continent Military Department and the East Continent’s three institutes reached a consensus—
Thus, a silent yet spectacular scene unfolded in the sky above the snowfield.
Dozens to hundreds of airships’ heavy machinery, suspended behind the giant, pushed forward with all their might, everyone holding their breath, observing this monster running with all its strength on the ground, to see where it was ultimately heading.
The traveler running across the Tundra indeed resembled the giant from legend that chases the sun.
However, what it eventually crashed into was not the Blazing Sun sinking beneath the horizon.
But rather... Layer upon layer of iron wall wrapping the Heavenly Sheath!
The high-ranking officials of Changye’s three institutes harshly issued the order to observe the traveler, not a single heavy machine fired recklessly to provoke the giant, so it smoothly reached the endpoint calculated by [Deep Sea]. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel⁂fire.net
Tens of thousands of tons of hot mist spread, with the North Continent Military Department and the three institutes proficiently retreating, countless electronic eyes diving beneath the cloud layer... However, unfortunately, the mist released from the traveler’s collision with the iron wall carried a strong burning force, [Deep Sea] could not immediately capture effective images.
In the time the hot mist churned.
The entire world fell silent.
Atop the high spire of the Tundra Prison, stood two figures, one black, one white.
Mr. Ghost and Mr. Xue, the two guardians of the [Snow Cage], were the first to receive the command from Changye... They silently watched the direction of the "Heavenly Sheath" core area.
"A truly astonishing creature of the Old World..."
Mr. Xue, pale all over, rasped: "To shatter the iron wall took only a second, if it wanted to kill a titled individual, it should only take that time, right?"
The impact of this collision was so strong that even the two guardians at the outer edge of the iron wall could feel it... Clearly, the cages within the Heavenly Sheath region already showed signs of loosening.
Yet the two Great Prison Officers expressed no concern up to this point.
The orders they received... Came from the Changye Qingzhong Cemetery.
The Lord of the Battle God Throne was watching over this place!
At such a moment, attempting a "prison break" was undoubtedly foolish... Compared to serving under the [Snow Cage], clearly the giant that smashed through the iron wall and broke in was far more terrifying!
Any titled individual, any high-risk criminal, could be crushed with a single step.
And the situation within the core area at this moment was just as the Ghost and Xue duo had anticipated.
The traveler’s impact against the iron wall caused significant damage to the [Snow Cage], giving many prisoners a chance to escape... However, so far, none of the prisoners had moved an inch, not just out of fear but unable to!
The overwhelming pressure of the Divine force swept across the land like a waterfall!
For miles around, all were immobilized under the traveler’s divine pressure!
Nobody could see clearly what kind of scene was exactly playing out in the Heavenly Sheath core area at this moment... Except for the Tomb Ghost nearest to the traveler.
With a face ashen, the Tomb Ghost had suffered such a severe blow up close that he fell to the ground in fear.
The divine power of that giant was too overwhelming.
He could barely move... Even if he exerted all his strength to escape now, it was a staggering, stumbling effort.
Another round of high-pitched roaring.
The Tomb Ghost instinctively turned back, watching the giant suddenly crouch, both hands brushing over the rough surface of the Heavenly Sheath, nearly a hundred meters of searing light fire sparked from its palms against the stone sword, and finally its ten fingers gripped the base of the Heavenly Sheath, trying with all its might to pull it out!
The Heavenly Sheath did not move an inch, this stone sword was firmly embedded in the ground!
For six hundred years, Changye had already tried countless methods.
The traveler’s power is indeed great...
But the "Battle" of East Continent is not inferior in comparison!
Back then, Mr. Gu Changzhi, after becoming a Divine Throne, had come to [Snow Cage] and tried to hold this stone sword with his own hands, but the final outcome...was also a failure to pull it out.
No matter how the traveler exerted force, all that happened around the Heavenly Sheath was the violent sound of tremors, with no other movement.
The Tomb Ghost wasn’t sure if he was imagining things.
He always felt that the ugly, clumsy face seemed to be staring at him, even when pulling the sword.
That big guy seemed to want to convey something to him.
The Tomb Ghost fell beside Gu Nanfeng, who picked him up with a weak voice saying, "Run fast!"
Gu Nanfeng’s expression was also deathly pale.
He was enveloped by the Divine Power of the Fire Seed...his movements became extremely slow.
The traveler maintained this posture, looking up at the sky and roaring with anger, uttering a deep, obscure syllable that shook the heavens.
The entire Tundra Prison was swept by the sound waves!
Finally reuniting with Gu Nanfeng, the Tomb Ghost was blasted away by the sound waves, landing heavily in a snow pit. As he lifted his head, he felt warmth on his forehead, as hot blood trickled down...but he did not feel the pain.
The Tomb Ghost staggered to his feet, supporting himself on a slender, waist-high stone.
It was then he realized...the Heavenly Sheath had been shaken, countless shattered "stone chips" had been crushed and swept away by the big guy, and this flying stone beside him was chipped off from the surface of the Heavenly Sheath.
He was indeed cursed with misfortune.
After a long journey without accidents, upon reaching the destination, he encountered this incomprehensible phenomenon of catastrophe.
However...it seemed someone else was even unluckier than him.
The Tomb Ghost looked to the nearby iron cage, where a Transcendent was pierced in the chest by a flying "Heavenly Sheath Fragment," and only managed to hold onto the fragment for a few seconds before his hands weakened, with a stream of blood flowing out from the bars, forming a crimson creek...this unluckier soul than himself just died like that.
He was just scratched, perhaps this was considered good luck?
He laughed self-deprecatingly, then coldly gazed at the monster pulling the sword.
The traveler, who was desperately trying to pull out the Heavenly Sheath, suddenly became quiet. It was burning with fierce flames in the center of the frenzied storm of sound waves again, uttering obscure and complex syllables that no one could understand.
Except for the Tomb Ghost.
Xing Yun stood in a daze.
The obscure ancient language entered his Spirit Sea...and without any thought, the corresponding meaning emerged.
That guy was calling him Master.
The ugly, menacing face of the big guy seemed to turn gentle at this moment.
"Finally...we meet again."
I don’t even know this guy...
Engulfed in the heat wave, Xing Yun suddenly felt a baseless sadness welling up from his heart.
In the depths of the dark Spirit Sea, there seemed to be a light trying to ignite...
The giant’s voice also became familiar.
"Please...pull it out."
Sharp sounds pierced the Skytop clouds, Aluer, holding the Empress’s Token, finally stopped silently watching...countless North Continent Cold Swords broke through the silver veil in her palm, crashing towards the flaming "traveler."
Silver swords filled the sky, penetrating the traveler’s chest, shoulders, and head.
The giant’s head struck heavily against the hard shell of the Heavenly Sheath.
It withstood the Empress’s sword strikes, desperately using its forehead to knock against the indestructible stone sword!
What seemed like frantic roaring to others was, in the Tomb Ghost’s ears, a humble plea.
Debris flew in all directions.
The entire Snow Cage was enveloped in the gray rubble of the Heavenly Sheath, as the Transcendents overseeing the Tundra Prison had begun an emergency evacuation. The recovered Gu Nanfeng hurriedly rushed over, dragging the Tomb Ghost to safety.
Xing Yun looked in a daze at the giant continuously striking the scabbard of the stone sword.
He only felt sadness, but didn’t know its source, as if an ancient memory was about to awaken, but unfortunately, the impending light in the Spirit Sea eventually extinguished silently...
Finally, this world returned to silence.
Countless strands of silver light densely pierced the back of the traveler.
The "God" from the Old World knelt before the Heavenly Sheath.
It was unable to pull out the fallen "stone sword."
Nor could it awaken the true "Sword Puller."
