Chapter 397: Cataclysm (1)

The abnormal phenomena lasted for about ten minutes before slowly dissipating. At the same time, Long Zhen had also successfully broken through his shackles and stepped into the sixth realm of the Great Void Stage.
As everyone knew, the Ten Great Void Stage was divided into upper and lower realms. The first five realms were called the lower realm, and the latter five were called the upper realm.
Therefore, although Long Zhen had only crossed a realm, his strength had increased greatly and was far from what it was before.
However, Long Zhen did not stop and continued to cultivate.
Ever since he had seen Qin Jue’s power, Long Zhen knew that he was still a long way from reaching the true peak. He couldn’t be satisfied just because he had stepped into the sixth realm of the Great Void Stage.
Of course, because Long Zhen did not deliberately hide it, many experts of the Spirit Central World had long noticed that the source of the phenomenon was the Immortal Sacred Land.
It was obvious that it was caused by Long Zhen.
The problem was that Long Zhen had already stepped into the Great Sage Stage thousands of years ago. So what was going on now?
“Could it be that… the Immortal Sacred Master has already surpa.s.sed the Great Sage Stage?” Someone guessed.
“What? Surpa.s.sed the Great Sage Stage?”
“No way?”
“How is that possible?!”
Everyone discussed animatedly and expressed their doubts.
In the eyes of these Spirit Central World cultivators, the Great Sage Stage was already an unreachable existence. With a single move, a Great Sage Stage expert could cause the heavens and the earth to collapse, so how could there be a realm stronger than the Great Sage Stage?
“Hehe, that might not be impossible.”
At this moment, an old man holding a walking stick said, “Don’t forget that the Immortal Sacred Master is the fastest peerless genius to advance to the Great Sage Stage in the Spirit Central World until now.”
The old man looked like he was about to die, but no one dared to underestimate him. The reason was very simple. The old man was the only Saint Stage expert present!
In addition, the old man was right. The fact that the Immortal Sacred Master had advanced to the Great Sage Stage in a hundred years was no longer a secret in the Spirit Central World. It even became a legend that was pa.s.sed around, causing Long Zhen to be wors.h.i.+ped by countless people.
Many cultivators stepped onto the Martial Dao after being inspired by this story.
“If there’s no realm stronger than the Great Sage Stage, do you guys really think that the Immortal Sacred Master has been stagnant for thousands of years?”
The old man continued, “You guys aren’t so naive to think that there’s only one continent in this void, right?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was instantly speechless.
All the cultivators who had come into contact with the Supreme Stage knew that there was still the vast void outside the Spirit Central World. That place was filled with endless danger. Only Grand Saint Stage experts and above could stay there for a long time.
On the other hand, even Great Sage Stage experts would die in the void if they were careless. From this, it could be seen that Great Sage Stage experts were not invincible.
The old man was very satisfied with everyone’s reaction, so he said, “You all saw the phenomenon just now. That didn’t look like a phenomenon caused by a Great Sage Stage expert at all. If there are no accidents, the Immortal Sacred Master might have really surpa.s.sed the Great Sage Stage!”
“…”
Similar conversations occurred in various places in the Central Continent, including the Eight Great Sacred Lands and the Twelve Sacred Clans.
In an instant, the entire Central Continent shook. The Immortal Sacred Land had even become the absolute forbidden land of the various factions.
After all, Long Zhen could already easily kill experts of the same realm when he had just advanced to the Great Sage Stage, let alone now?
Although they still could not confirm if Long Zhen had broken through, no one was willing to take the risk.
This was especially true for the Pure Yang Sacred Master. Because he had been personally warned by Long Zhen, he was so frightened that he almost went into hiding. Fortunately, he had resisted everyone’s objections and let Luo Weiwei go. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been long before Long Zhen would have come knocking on his door.
However, the Pure Yang Sacred Master could not figure out how Luo Weiwei was related to Long Zhen.
Could it be that Long Zhen liked younger girls and had taken a fancy to a descendant like Luo Weiwei?
The Pure Yang Sacred Master pondered.
…
Divine Realm, Crimson Star Sea.
The so-called Crimson Star Sea was actually a boundless starry sky that was formed by countless continents and planets. However, the spirit qi had already been severed, and there were no signs of life.
In the ancient era, there had been an extremely prosperous civilization here. However, after the ancient era ended, the civilization here had also disappeared, as if it had never existed.
Until now, no one knew what was going on.
At this moment, the Crimson Star Sea had already been reduced to ruins after experiencing the battle between the Myriad Divine Court and the Heavenly G.o.d Race.
A divine light as dazzling as a sun enveloped an area of several million kilometers.
Under the divine light, two huge main s.h.i.+ps faced each other from afar. They were like huge beasts that occupied the void, sinister and terrifying.
Near the main s.h.i.+p were all kinds of small battles.h.i.+ps and air-transportation spirit artifacts. The atmosphere was tense, as if a fight would break out at any moment.
“Old Man Tian, are you really going to start a war with my Myriad Divine Court?”
Sun Wukong was wearing a golden chainmail and helmet. The phoenix wings behind his back were revealed as he walked on a silky cloud. He held a heavenly pillar in his hand and looked like a G.o.d from the nine heavens as he stared straight at the old man opposite him and said in an unfriendly tone.
“Hehe, Sun Wukong, don’t you think that your Myriad Divine Court has been expanding too quickly recently?” The old man placed his hands behind his back and said coldly.
Compared to Sun Wukong, the old man undoubtedly looked somewhat thin and weak. However, his aura was not weak at all. The two of them only stood there, but s.p.a.ce could not withstand the distortion and started collapsing.
“This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with your Heavenly G.o.d Race, right?”
Sun Wukong sneered.
“Have you forgotten that our Heavenly G.o.d Race is the guardian of the G.o.d Realm?”
The old man answered with a question.
Sun Wukong was stunned and had a strange expression. “You mean you want to go against me?”
“That’s right.”
The old man said righteously, “In just a few months, dozens of factions have already been destroyed by your Myriad Divine Court. Today, I will avenge those innocent people who have lost their lives!”
After hearing the old man’s generous words, Sun Wukong smiled and said, “If you have the time, why don’t you go and help those worlds that were plundered by your Heavenly G.o.d Race va.s.sal forces?”
“How dare you!”
The old man shouted angrily.
“Hmph, if you want to condemn someone, you can always find excuses. Since you want to fight, my Myriad Divine Court will accompany you!”
Sun Wukong sneered.
In the past, because of the Heavenly Palace, no one dared to act rashly.
But now that the Heavenly Palace was destroyed, the originally stable situation was immediately broken. It was inevitable for conflicts to arise.
In addition, in order to compete for the territory of the Heavenly Palace, the Myriad Divine Court had clashed with the Heavenly G.o.d Race many times. How could the Heavenly G.o.d Race, who had always bragged about being the “protectors” of the G.o.d Realm, tolerate this? Therefore, they directly declared war on the Myriad Divine Court!
“Very good. I’ve long wanted to experience your staff technique.”
The old man wiped his palm lightly, and divine light bloomed. It quickly condensed into a sword that emitted boundless killing intent!
“Hehe, in that case, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Sun Wukong threw his head back and laughed without any fear.
In terms of combat, Sun Wukong had never been afraid of anyone!
Just as the battle was about to begin, intense spatial fluctuations suddenly came from the distance, cras.h.i.+ng down like a wave!
Boom!
Some small battles.h.i.+ps immediately could not withstand the explosion. Fortunately, the cultivators inside were strong enough and all of them successfully escaped without any casualties.
“What happened?”
Sun Wukong and the old man were slightly shocked and turned their heads.
At the same time, a second spatial fluctuation swept over with a vast force!
