Chapter 912: Hunting
This Divine Ship Token fell outside the star domain controlled by the Divine Martial Empire, suspended in midair, emanating a mysterious aura,
brilliantly radiant, its light flowing. A supreme, indistinct figure appeared, wielding a huge ship, protecting those within from cosmic incarnations, manifesting as the master of the other shore, compelling reverence and awe.
Another light and shadow cast forth, introducing a cold figure, the emissary of the other shore.
"Martial Emperor, my lord is merciful. Seeing you extraordinary, he does not wish for you to perish in the cosmic war; thus, he has issued the Divine Ship Token to personally guide you to the Divine Ship's other shore, to enjoy eternal and limitless peace. Accept it, this is your great opportunity, the Divine Ship's other shore welcomes you,"
This figure was merely a projection cast by mana.
He dared not appear directly, fearful that Chu Yuan would annihilate him.
From his words, it seemed that with the issue of the Divine Ship Token and the guidance of the emissary, Chu Yuan was to receive some unimaginable honor from the master of the other shore.
"To actually issue the Divine Ship Token directly!" Bone Deity exclaimed in awe.
It appeared that the Martial Emperor had indeed attracted the attention of the master of the other shore.
Of course, this was not surprising; Chu Yuan had suddenly risen, achieving astounding battle records. Everyone knew he harbored a great secret, yet his powerful strength made him difficult to deal with in ordinary ways.
The rise of the Divine Martial Empire was no secret; after all, an empire that rose from a weak and humble origin could not keep some matters hidden.
Those interested could easily find out.
Especially the battles that brought fame to Chu Yuan, the sword he wielded was recognized as a terrifyingly powerful Divine Artifact.
The master of the other shore wanted to guide him over; obviously, he was interested in Chu Yuan's secret and simply sought to seize it.
"Of course, if you refuse, there will be a great number of emissaries who will come to invite you to the other shore,"
the figure added.
What was called an invitation was actually a threat; it was clear that the will of the master of the other shore was to have Chu Yuan enter the Divine Ship's other shore.
"Accept it, the Divine Ship Token is not something my lord issues lightly; do not defy the will of the Divine Ship's other shore,"
said the emissary coldly.
Chu Yuan did not respond; instead, he waved his hand mightily, and the Divine Ship Token shattered instantly. What other shore? He didn't even need to think about it; owning that small ship made finding them as easy as flipping one's hand.
"You!"
The emissary from the Divine Ship's other shore had not expected Chu Yuan to act so decisively.
He said angrily, "By defying the will of my master, a great number of emissaries will soon descend, and your end will be even more miserable!"
Boom!
With a point of his finger, Chu Yuan shattered his projection as well.
"The Divine Ship's other shore will not give up. A great number of emissaries means a great number of immortals; even if they are mere avatars, their sheer number is terrifying!"
Bone Deity worried.
The Divine Ship's other shore chose this time to manifest, not to contend with the Feathered Divine Dynasty for supremacy in the starry skies, but to subsume the powerful forces within the universe.
"I have never liked being passively struck and prefer to take the initiative, creating opportunities through offense. Now that the other shore has noticed me, coveting my secrets and wealth, it's perfect because I also need a large amount of immortal substances to help break through my cultivation limit,"
Chu Yuan said indifferently, "These emissaries from the other shore are on a path to their own destruction."
He had been refining immortal substances continuously, and his cultivation had reached a kind of limit just before a breakthrough, lacking only a more intense force to completely help him break this limit.
Originally, he had been calculating how to hunt immortals and break through levels.
However, the appearance of the Divine Ship's other shore now presented him with that very opportunity.
Though these avatars were powerful and fearless of death, able to be reborn within the Divine Ship's other shore and slightly weaker than regular immortals, they provided him the perfect opportunity.
Were Chu Yuan to hunt other immortals, it could cause backlash, which was disadvantageous for the empire's current situation.
But slaying these emissaries from the Divine Ship's other shore would surely please those dissatisfied with the Divine Ship's other shore.
"This is an opportunity,"
As Chu Yuan spoke, he had already left the Empire and appeared at the edge of the vast Bitter Sea.
The Bone God hastily followed him.
A rainbow light often burst from the opposite shore of the Divine Ship, forming a guiding rainbow bridge that led some people into it.
Chu Yuan looked at the Divine Ship's other shore, which formed a void for eternal exile, then he sat down, exhibiting great patience, just like a hunter waiting for the appearance of his prey.
One month.
Two months.
He ended up waiting there for a total of three months.
Suddenly, his eyes opened wide, shooting out a frightful light as another rainbow light burst from the giant ship. A splendid rain of light dazzled within which several figures were being led into the Divine Ship's other shore.
"Another immortal has been led to the Divine Ship's other shore and has sided with them!"
"Since the Divine Ship's other shore appeared in this era, two or three immortals have already been led there."
"Yes, the cosmos is in chaos, and rumors say that the cycle of great calamity is about to begin. These are the deaths of immortals, but if you enter the Divine Ship's other shore, you can avoid these calamities. However, entering that shore comes at a cost."
"I am not willing to pay that cost; no matter how good the other shore is, I will not enter."
...
Not everyone is willing to be led to the Divine Ship's other shore, and they know that it is not a true sanctuary.
Yet facing a place that can avoid great calamitous wars, they still feel envious.
"That's the old ancestor of the Tai Xi Sect; he's entering the other shore with a guiding emissary accompanying him."
Many people were watching this place.
This place had become the most watched besides the Immortal Time and Space.
Whoosh!
Just then, a person calmly stood up from the Bitter Sea. He grasped the sword placed beside him, his gaze fixed on the guiding rainbow bridge. Suddenly, a sword slashed out. A supreme sword light directly cut across, severing the guiding path, preventing them from entering.
The sword light illuminated the entire Bitter Sea, fierce beyond imagination.
"Someone is severing the guiding light of the Divine Ship's other shore!"
"Another powerful being has made a move against them, but how could the guiding light possibly be severed? Previous powerful beings have tried to break it, but none succeeded; instead, they encountered a retaliatory attack from the people of the other shore, meeting a heavy fate!"
These people thought that this sword strike couldn't possibly break the rainbow light.
But to their surprise.
The moment the sword light slashed, infinite time and space were torn apart. The Supreme God Artifact was terrifyingly powerful; a shocking scene unfolded as the rainbow light was actually broken, cutting off the guiding force from within the Divine Ship's other shore.
"The rainbow light is broken, the guiding has been interrupted!"
Those who were watching almost swallowed their tongues.
It was incredibly terrifying.
"Who is interfering with the Divine Ship's other shore!"
"Obstructing our Divine Ship's other shore means being our enemy, he deserves death, eternal downfall!"
"Guiding emissaries, kill this person!"
The powerful beings of the Divine Ship's other shore were furious.
They had always been fearless thanks to the mystique of the Divine Ship's other shore, and although the force of guiding had been interrupted before, ancient sovereigns like Heaven Emperors and gods had once exerted power to prevent them from guiding.
"Hiss!"
A figure directly stepped forward, breaking through layers of time and space, appearing within the rainbow light.
