Chapter 921: The Goddess Appears Again [Ten More Chapters]
"Elder brother, the Great Emperor Shenwu is too powerful; standing by his side, I could only tremble incessantly!"
The second Golden Crow was extremely close to the Undying realm, and at this moment, it felt an overwhelming terror that made it hard to breathe.
"Indeed, incredibly powerful. I am not his match."
The Golden Crow God Emperor said, "The fifth brother mentioned that back during the time at the Divine Tomb, the Great Emperor Shenwu was only at the realm of a Cosmic God. Now he has reached Immortality, and I feel suppressed by his presence. He is a Great Emperor with grand ambition and formidable strength!"
"Such an existence should not be offended, but there's also no need to get too close; maintaining a friendly relationship should suffice."
The Golden Crow God Emperor sighed, "I have never harbored any ambition to dominate the universe. I merely hope to lead my nine younger brothers through this era of chaos and have you all advance to Immortality before this cycle of the universe ends, to accompany me through each cosmic cycle."
"Elder brother."
They knew.
If it weren't for the Undying Divine Light, the Golden Crow God Emperor would not have come to the Land of the Undead. Their bond was too deep.
"It has begun!"
After several days had passed, the immortals from the Feathered Divine Dynasty launched the first strike from afar.
Their power bombarded the Land of the Undead, a formidable force attempting to tear apart the divine light that enveloped it.
The divine light surged, power boiling over.
"Humph! The Feathered Divine Dynasty wants to seize the greatest treasure of the Land of the Undead, but we will not agree!"
Seeing the Feathered Divine Dynasty make a move, other powerhouses naturally did not sit idly by; they, too, launched their attacks, sending their power forth, but they were cautious, only striking from a distance and not allowing themselves to enter.
Many powerhouses took action, everything verging on chaos, but the hundred-mile expanse of the Land of the Undead still did not collapse.
"Great Emperor, shall we not make a move?" the Enlightenment Book asked.
"I have said, this time we are just watching the spectacle," Chu Yuan declared.
"Elder brother, look at how domineering the Great Emperor Shenwu is, yet even he is only observing from the sidelines. What should we do? Elder brother, you should also be on the verge of breaking through to the third level of Immortality," said the nine Golden Crows, surrounding the Golden Crow God Emperor with anxious expressions.
"Do not act for now; Immortal Time and Space is unpredictable. So many immortals have used so much time to fight their way here. We shall watch silently," the Golden Crow God Emperor responded, his gaze persistently drifting towards Chu Yuan.
Although some immortals chose to watch silently, many more took action, knowing that there was great terror within the Land of the Undead. Even so, as long as they did not enter, they were not so fearful.
"Boom!"
A moment after these immortals commenced their bombardment,
suddenly, the immortals of the Feathered Divine Dynasty fiercely directed their power in one direction, immediately triggering a strong reaction. Two dark hands emerged, one reaching toward the Feathered Divine Dynasty and the other toward a different direction.
"Feathered Ascension!"
The immortal of the Feathered Divine Dynasty condensed their power and repelled the giant hand back.
However, the immortals on the other side, although numerous, were not united. They scattered like a flock of chickens and dogs at the first sign of trouble. The deathly gray hand charged directly into their midst, resulting in a bloody massacre.
"No!"
An Undying of the first level was suddenly seized by the deathly gray hand, struggling fiercely until being dragged into the Land of the Undead, emitting a shrill and pitiful scream that made one's hair stand on end.
"Lord of the Undead!"
Merely by stretching out a hand, it captured an Undying. Who else but the Lord of the Undead could possess such power?
"Feathered Divine Dynasty!"
The immortals were outraged.
They had long known the location of the Lord of the Undead, and by drawing a counterattack, they had plotted the death of one of their own Undyings. This scheme filled them with anger while at the same time a tremendous chill sprouted in their hearts.
They would rather fight against a Heaven Emperor or a God who could overpower them directly than battle with the Feathered Divine Dynasty.
"A bunch of lowly chickens and dogs daring to challenge my Feathered Divine Dynasty,"
the immortal arrogantly looked down upon this rabble, convinced that the Feathered Divine Dynasty was destined to become the supreme ruler of the universe.
"If you have the guts, fight me openly and honorably instead of playing these underhanded tricks. Haha, you are nothing compared to the Heavenly Emperor, the truly invincible one, unlike you lot of petty creatures!"
The immortals were retorting with sarcasm.
"Strength determines everything, when the time of your death comes, you won't be able to say a word," the immortal from the Feathered Divine Dynasty said coldly.
"Do not attack the Immortal Divine Land carelessly, lest you fall into the schemes of the Feathered Divine Dynasty."
An immortal voiced this reminder.
The standoff once again reached a deadlock.
"This stalemate won't last long."
Chu Yuan knew that as time passed, more and more immortals would gather, making it difficult for the Feathered Great Emperor to act. Even elusive ancient emperors of such caliber were watching him, not allowing him to kill at will.
Apart from the Feathered Divine Dynasty itself, everyone else hoped for its collapse so they could divide its wealth.
Chu Yuan also shared this sentiment.
However, the next scene that unfolded surprised him.
Above the Immortal Divine Emperor, a woman suddenly appeared, her aura beyond the mundane, breathtakingly beautiful as she slowly stepped into this place.
"It's her again!"
Chu Yuan was astonished.
Indeed, it was the divine maiden. The last time he saw her was on the Divine Calamity Star; this time she appeared in the Immortal Time and Space.
What was she planning to do? Could it be that she aimed to seize the Immortal Divine Land?
The stronger his cultivation, the more Chu Yuan could sense the terror of the divine maiden, and he speculated that she might well be a being not inferior to the level of the Feathered Great Emperor.
"What a mysterious woman."
Chu Yuan sighed.
No one knew where this divine maiden had come from, where her home was, and her name was unknown; her appearances were always abrupt.
In Chu Yuan's eyes, she was far more mysterious than the divine ferry beyond.
Yet, he seemed to have quite a fate with her; this was the third time he encountered the divine maiden.
"The divine maiden again?"
The Enlightenment Book was beside Chu Yuan, and although the maiden did not deliberately suppress him, he felt that, even though he was immortal, if she simply slapped him, he would be snuffed out.
As the divine maiden approached, her gaze lingered on Chu Yuan for a moment, seemingly curious about his presence there.
If before Chu Yuan was a mere ant in her eyes, now he was an existence that could not be ignored.
"The divine maiden again!"
The divine maiden had left a deep impression on many when she appeared on the Divine Calamity Star and effortlessly defeated the immortals.
The divine maiden paid no heed to these exclamations; they were as if non-existent in her eyes. Her jade-like palm struck out directly at the Immortal Divine Land, and a palm imprint gently descended.
"One person trying to challenge the Immortal Divine Land? The Lord of Immortality is not easy to provoke!"
The immortals of the Feathered Divine Dynasty were unconcerned.
However, after the maiden's palm landed, divine light surged, the enveloping haze incrementally erased, growing fainter.
Boom! Two enormous dark hands reached out again to counter the divine maiden.
But the divine maiden simply lifted her hand, casually repelling the dark hands back, and then her power shook once more, the enveloping Immortal Divine Light crumbled, fully revealing the true face of the Immortal Divine Lord.
