Chapter 1116 Home Invasion

1116 Home Invasion

w.a.n.g Wei first checked the Star Beast Battlefield. Everything was proceeding smoothly. Although their troops were facing a catastrophic defeat, the battle between powerhouses was in their favor - especially the confrontations between Eternals.

His eyes s.h.i.+fted to an odd group on the battlefield. They were invisible to everyone else except w.a.n.g Wei, but they were not fighting or a.s.sa.s.sinating people. Their purpose was one thing: gathering dead bodies. w.a.n.g Wei smiled before s.h.i.+fting his eyes.

The Commerce Hub"s military advisor, Deng Qiang, oversaw the battlefield while gritting her teeth. It was obvious that things were not proceeding as smoothly as she expected, which was causing her frustration. However, w.a.n.g Wei"s gaze was not on her but on the people she was secretly communicating with.

As he told the monkey, some people were already suspicious of his disappearance. The true rulers of the Commerce Hub started to freak out with this possibility, so many people called for a retreat. Unfortunately, it was too late for such a decision; it would be catastrophic if the troops were suddenly ordered to retreat.

So, the president calmed everyone by proposing to prepare a secret squad of Array Masters to truly exile w.a.n.g Wei to the upper dimension if he ever showed up. Although many people knew this action would be futile if w.a.n.g Wei were still in the lower dimension, it still soothed many people"s nerves.

w.a.n.g Wei"s gaze moved to the Martial Hegemony Battlefield. Ao Shen, Huo Fenghuang, his mother, and the Dao Opening Sect"s Eternals were on this battlefield. w.a.n.g Wei checked on them, and they had killed a few Eternals but were still outnumbered.

"They should have no issue holding on," he thought before focusing on his grandfather. He saw a smirk on the corner of the old man"s mouth as he battled an Eternal Emperor. w.a.n.g Wei could tell he was not only enjoying the battle but also learning from it. With his 74 Infant FiendG.o.d Force, he was fighting a relatively weak Eternal, but it was an Eternal nonetheless.

"It might not be a bad idea for him to try to condense a Primordial Law before his battle with Nine Suns," thought w.a.n.g Wei. He decided to suggest this to the old man. Although he knew he might not be happy since that would further delay his revenge battle with Emperor Nine Suns, it was better to be prepared than be sorry.

w.a.n.g Wei finished his check with Xu s.h.i.+ and Yan Liling. Then, he wondered whether to reveal the two Eternal Cla.s.s Puppets he acquired from the Qin"s Treasury. However, he chose otherwise after mulling it over briefly; it was not good for the Dao Opening Sect to reveal all its hidden cards.

Void, Myriad Emperor World:

The Fist Saint Emperor frowned as he looked at the world before him. The large group behind him remained quiet, leaving him to his thoughts. This was not the first time he"d traveled to this place, so where did his hesitation originate from? Did he detect something the others did not?

"It"s too easy," thought the Fist Saint Emperor. Their journey to this world community was too smooth; it was as if no one cared whether or not they attacked this world. It could even be said they were tempting people to invade.

"What made these people so confident? Was it a lie that the First Heavenly Emperor was exiled?" Fist Saint frowned. He had sent an infiltrating squad with a potent talisman that would detect w.a.n.g Wei"s existence. The president personally ordered me to hand over the talisman to him to ensure the news was correct, and as of now, the squad has returned and brought positive news.

"All signs showed nothing was wrong, but the more normal things look, the more suspicious I am," thought Fist Saint, his brow deeply furrowed.

"Commander, what"s the order?"

These words woke him up from his thoughts, and he exhaled. "Yin."

"Yes," said a hooded figure that suddenly appeared behind him.

"What information did you gather?"

"Nothing, sir," replied Yin. "I only did my task: enter, use the talisman, and bring back the result."

The Fist Saint Emperor was briefly silent. He could not blame the latter since the upper echelons directly ordered their task. "Do you want to try again?"

"I"m afraid that"s impossible, commander," replied Yin.

"And why is that?"

"Although I was there briefly, I still felt a great threat."

"So, there are still powerhouses left to protect the world," summarized Fist Saint."

"Very likely."

"Then, why haven"t they established some form of protection around their world?" He asked, pointing at the Myriad Emperor World. "They are basically inviting us in."

"The enemy is likely very confident in their strength, or they have a powerful hidden trump card."

"No s.h.i.+t, Dao Overlord," sneered Fist Saint. "The question is what?" Yin lowered his head, not daring to utter another word or look the commander in the eyes. The Fist Saint Emperor exhaled deeply to calm down. He did not like failure; as such, his previous experience in this world was affecting his current mission.

"I can"t be too cautious to the point of indecisiveness," he thought. "This is a perfect window to attack, and I should take it before something truly unexpected occurs."

"Tell the troops to enter. Prepare for an ambush," he ordered calmly. The Fist Saint led by example by being the first to charge into the Myriad Emperor World. He raised his senses to the extreme, preparing for any changes - which did happen. He first noticed most of his troops were immediately teleported to distant places, and the Saint Fist Emperor frowned when his divine sense noticed the anomaly in the first area.

The aura of all the mortal cultivators in that area dramatically decreased, and it was swift and sudden. Their attack potency stopped at Tier 4, and no one was an exception. Myriad portals opened up in that domain to teleport countless puppets and constructs.

"Mortals? Is this the power of Mortal Civilization?" The Commerce Hub heard the news but did not expect mortals to play a role in such a large-scale war involving Great Emperors. The Fist Saint Emperor turned his focus to another domain. He frowned because his other troops-which still retained their powers-were surrounded by another group of mortals using something akin to this world"s Dharma Body.

These mortals immediately started singing the song he heard the last time he was here, which boosted their powers and abilities. Then, they began to slaughter his troops with paintings, poetry, calligraphy, and instruments.

The third thing the Fist Saint Emperor noticed was that a few of his Immortal Tier Soldiers-the weakest ones-were in an isolated domain protected by formation, but the top-tier powerhouses had disappeared. He immediately concluded they were teleported to the Void Battlefield, just like what had happened to him before.

Many thoughts flashed in his mind as soon as he acquired the information through his divine sense. After processing it, the Fist Saint Emperor made his move. He decided to attack the Order-Disorder Array or technique that allowed these mortals to partake in this war.

"We will have the number advantage as long as they regain their powers and these mortals become weak and useless," he thought, but a voice echoed in the void before he could move.

"I"m your opponent."

The Fist Saint Emperor heard that sweet and angelic voice, and before he could react, his surroundings had changed; he was now in that vast emptiness with a power that was so dangerous yet tempting-nothingness. He looked at the person before him, and his heart skipped a beat.

"What a beauty!" he instinctively exclaimed. Although he had seen Xu s.h.i.+, he felt the latter was the unapproachable kind of beauty. However, the woman before him was different: she was graceful and ethereal due to a sage-like aura. Her body released a mesmerizing scent that was a combination of flowers and sweet-smelling medicine.

"What!" exclaimed the Fist Saint Emperor in his mind as his body involuntarily trembled. He just felt a terrifying killing intent locked on him, so intense that his legs lost control and wobbled. Although the thing appeared for less than a nanosecond, he knew he was not mistaken. He knew for a fact this killing desire did not originate from her, so he was on guard.

The Fist Saint Emperor controlled his body to relax, "How may I address you?"

Yan Liling frowned. She did not like this man"s eyes. Although she was used to being stared at by men, most of them hid their desires well due to her strength and status. But this man only controlled his desires, not hid them.

"I"m the Pill Sage Empress." Despite her feelings, she still respected her opponent because he"s an Eternal.

"I am -"

"I know who you are," she said. "I don"t have the time or patience for your nonsense. You"re an intruder, and I"m here to slaughter you. So, prepare yourself for battle."

"Rude," he thought, but why did he find her even more attractive? The Fist Saint Emperor exhaled before activating his [Awaken]. He would not let his emotions affect this mission.
