89: Skyshattered Realm Battle

After an intense wave of pain, Xiuyuan felt the hazy will of the Ling Tian Pagoda gradually cooperate with him. The pain lessened, and the soul stabilizing pearl occasionally emitted a cool aura. Each time the cool aura appeared, Xiuyuan felt the pain greatly diminish.

It could be said that if Xiuyuan didn't have the soul stabilizing pearl, or if his spiritual power hadn't reached 14,000, the success rate of him becoming the master of the Ling Tian Pagoda would have been less than ten percent.

In fact, the Ling Tian Pagoda was merely an attempt. Since it was so difficult for the current Xiuyuan to become its master, it was clear that for an ordinary Immaculate Realm cultivator, becoming its master would almost certainly lead to death.

Grandpa Xuan saw the pained expression on Xiuyuan's face gradually lessen, and his own expression relaxed. After all, it had been hundreds of years since such an outstanding human junior had appeared, and he naturally didn't want him to fail.

After two days like this, Xiuyuan opened his eyes and looked at Grandpa Xuan.

"Did I succeed?"

Grandpa Xuan smiled and nodded, "I'll call you Xiao Yuan from now on. Although you are nominally my master, I haven't completely acknowledged you yet."

Xiuyuan was completely indifferent to the address, "Okay, then I'll call you Grandpa Xuan."

Grandpa Xuan spoke again, "If you want to summon me in the future, just use a mental message. Now that you've successfully become its master, the Ling Tian Pagoda can be stored in your Sea of Consciousness, and I will also be there."

Now that Xiuyuan had successfully become its master, he understood most of the wondrous uses of the Ling Tian Pagoda. Its greatest function was to allow him to comprehend the Law of Space and the Law of Time.

However, this point didn't seem to be of much use to Xiuyuan, as his own comprehension effect was almost zero.

Secondly, Xiuyuan himself could enter the Ling Tian Pagoda to withstand highly damaging attacks, but Xiuyuan couldn't do that yet, because entering the Ling Tian Pagoda with one's physical body required at least the Po Kong Realm.

Furthermore, the Ling Tian Pagoda could be used as a weapon. Due to its snail-like shape, with one sharp end, and its ability to change size, it was also excellent for surprise attacks.

Grandpa Xuan saw that Xiuyuan had no more questions and said, "Now that you've successfully become its master, you can store the Ling Tian Pagoda in your Sea of Consciousness at any time. When you do, the external teleportation light gate and the ranking list will disappear simultaneously, and you will reappear at the location where you first entered."

Xiuyuan nodded, indicating he understood. Because the process of becoming its master had consumed too much of his spiritual power, Xiuyuan's condition was not very good, so he sat down again to recover. He would leave as soon as he recovered.

Xiuyuan had already planned it. The first thing he would do after leaving was to use a teleportation talisman and move in the direction of the human race.

Xie An and all the other Shattering Void Realm cultivators waited for another three days outside. This opening of the Lingtian Relic was the longest in history. Previously, it would end in three days, but this time, because of Xiuyuan, it was already the eighth day.

The Shattering Void Realm powerhouses of the human race and the Shattering Void Realm powerhouses of the Exotic Beast Clan had already had two minor skirmishes.

It was always the powerhouses of the Alien Beast Clan who mocked Xiuyuan for dying in the remains. The atmosphere was already tense, and everyone needed a proper outlet, so battles were even more suitable.

The first time Mu Ying mocked, Xie An unhesitatingly attacked Mu Ying, then dueled him for nearly half an hour.

The second time Xiong Lie mocked, Wen Ruyu went out and fought a great battle with him for half an hour.

In fact, neither side used their full strength. Both were trying to relieve their own pressure. After all, nearly five days of high-tension anxiety and waiting, even Shattering Void Realm powerhouses felt very stifled.

Xie An saw the time dragging on, and the expression on his face grew increasingly anxious.

Li Jun calmly said, "Old Xie, don't rush. I feel it should be soon. Don't be impatient."

Li Jun actually had no feeling whatsoever; he just felt that Xie An's anxious state would affect others.

But just as Li Jun's words fell, the entrance light gate and the ranking list of the Lingtian Relic instantly disappeared, replaced by a young human.

It was Xiuyuan.

The moment Xiuyuan appeared, he immediately took out a teleportation talisman and prepared to activate it. But after pouring his qi and blood into it, the talisman burned up.

Xiuyuan still stood in place, looking utterly bewildered.

Grandpa Xuan's voice came, "Is that a teleportation talisman? The space here has been sealed by a group of Shattering Void Realm cultivators. Let alone talismans, even these Shattering Void Realm cultivators would find it incredibly difficult to teleport."

Xiuyuan secretly cursed, "Damn it! I wasted a teleportation talisman."

At this moment, the Exotic Beast Clan had already reacted. The four Shattering Void Realm cultivators in the open quickly flew over, launching long-range attacks at Xiuyuan.

Apart from Wang Yonghua, Li Jun, Xie An, and Wen Ruyu quickly met the four's attacks, not allowing a single trace of attack to reach Xiuyuan.

At this moment, Xiuyuan was a treasure a hundred times more precious than a giant panda.

Just as Xiuyuan was in a daze, a hand suddenly reached out from the void and grabbed him. Xiuyuan was just about to dodge.

An old voice sounded in his ear, "I am Chen Yuan. Don't dodge, don't resist. The space here is sealed. I'll try to see if I can bring you back to Qiulong City."

Xiuyuan actually couldn't dodge a Shattering Void Realm cultivator's grab at all, and he was immediately picked up by that hand, entering the void and disappearing.

However, Xiuyuan only felt that he and Chen Yuan had been in and out of the void for less than a second.

Six Shattering Void Realm exotic beasts stood before them, laughing, "Old Ghost Chen, we know your mastery of the Law of Space is very high, but with the spatial blockade we've jointly set up, you won't be able to escape."

There were a total of thirteen Shattering Void Realm exotic beasts from the Exotic Beast Clan. At this moment, six were intercepting Chen Yuan, while the other seven were struggling to resist on the other side.

It seemed they were determined to get Xiuyuan.

Chen Yuan saw the six exotic beasts blocking his way and was surprised, "How did they know I would be taking Xiuyuan back, and why are they intercepting so precisely here?"

He didn't think much further and tried to take Xiuyuan through, but with six against one, there was no escaping.

At this time, ten Shattering Void Realm cultivators of the human race were already on the field. Except for Old Ancestor Cui, all the other Shattering Void Realm cultivators were present.

Wen Ruyu glanced over, saw Chen Yuan's situation, and shouted, "Oldest Li, you go support Chen Yuan. There's no pressure here."

Then she turned to Wang Yonghua, "You, surnamed Wang, can you be any more perfunctory? Even slacking off shouldn't be like this, right?"

At this moment, Wang Yonghua was fighting Gui Li alongside Old Ancestor Lu. Two against one, yet it was a stalemate.

Old Ancestor Lu also looked at Wang Yonghua with a disgusted expression.

Li Jun analyzed the situation on the field and unhesitatingly flew to Chen Yuan's battlefield.

Instantly, Li Jun arrived. The two strongest humans were fighting six Shattering Void Realm exotic beasts.

Two against six. Although their combat power was strong, they were unable to effectively advance towards Qiulong City. What would normally be a mere few tens of kilometers, for a Shattering Void Realm cultivator, could be covered with a single teleportation.

Chen Yuan looked at the situation on the field, his expression changing from hesitation to unwillingness, and then from unwillingness to determination.

Xie An suddenly received a message from Chen Yuan, "Brother Xie, we've been old brothers for hundreds of years. You must take seriously what Xuan Feng discussed with you."

Upon hearing Chen Yuan's words, Xie An immediately sensed something and looked towards the battlefield of Chen Yuan and Li Jun.

He wanted to break free and go to support, but was immediately blocked by the exotic beasts. Although it was eight humans against seven, with the slacking Wang Yonghua, the Alien Beast Clan successfully held back the eight Shattering Void Realm powerhouses of the human race.
