I Attained Invincibility In The Real World-Chapter 686 - 378: Arrival and Sudden Change

Chapter 686: Chapter 378: Arrival and Sudden Change

Dark,

boundless.

In the field of vision, there was naught but floating debris of star bodies and cosmic dust.

Far from the usual space.

It was more like a garbage dump without the constraint of gravity.

“What is… this situation?”

He stared at the scene before his eyes.

The Thunder Envoy, Shi Jian, had his pupils constrict.

He was just over one thousand years old.

Perhaps for mortals,

such an age would allow them to witness all the vicissitudes of life.

But as a genius from the Wuchao Family, Shi Jian had been clothed in silk and fed with jade from birth, never worrying about livelihood. freewёbnoνel.com

Over thousands of years,

he had spent almost all his time enhancing his strength and fighting.

Therefore,

compared to the other three,

he truly could be described as young and ignorant.

This time,

it was also his first time leaving the Spiritual Martial World to explore other universes.

At first glance at the strange phenomenon before him, his heart couldn’t help but tremble.

“Stay calm,”

By comparison,

out of the group of five, only Lie Yan had followed the Spiritual Martial King across many worlds and was relatively experienced.

Therefore,

when he spoke, even Chen Sheng turned his gaze to him.

Lie Yan frowned slightly, showing a contemplative expression.

“If my guess is correct, this place is probably a dead world.”

A dead world?

As soon as these words were spoken,

everyone was stunned.

A dead world usually means that sentient life has been wiped out, World Consciousness has dissipated, unable to congeal again.

There’s only one prerequisite for such a thing to happen.

That is being eroded by Subordinates, forcibly drained of all their Origin Power.

And a universe that has birthed a World Consciousness, once lost, often becomes utterly devoid of life.

The universe no longer expands.

Energy no longer accumulates.

The destruction of all star bodies accelerates continuously until this universe completely perishes.

But at present,

the universe witnessed by everyone was evidently in a state of stasis, looking as if it was dying but not yet dead.

Why is that so?

“When I followed the King through the heavens and universes, I also witnessed such methods.”

“With the World Consciousness gone and the universe collapsing, forcibly intervening in this process to cause stasis, and weaving new laws according to one’s own will to keep it running normally.”

“Although such an act inevitably requires a long-term expenditure of strength to maintain, and with the passage of time, the required strength will only increase.”

“But some powerhouses can’t face the destruction of their homeland and make such a choice it’s not unheard of.”

Forcefully interrupting the demise of the universe.

Weaving new laws to extend the world’s life.

Such acts, which could be called feats of great strength, could it not be…

“That’s right.”

“It must be at least Universe Level, and among them, only a senior powerhouse could do such a thing.”

Upon hearing this,

Chen Sheng and the silent Black Envoy You Ren didn’t react much.

The other two Martial Gods, however, changed their expression drastically.

“Doesn’t that mean Aotian is—”

“And we are—”

One worrying about the safety of Long Aotian.

The other about their own safety.

But before they could finish their sentence,

they were cut off by Lie Yan’s stern look.

“Enough.”

“Before setting out, the King already made thorough preparations.”

With that,

he closed his eyes and focused.

Light bloomed from his chest, gradually converging into an orb of light.

From the orb as the center,

Invisible Fluctuation had already enveloped those around him.

About this,

Chen Sheng had already sensed it back in the Spiritual Martial World.

“The King already prepared a spell.”

“As long as we don’t make a big fuss, it is enough to cover our auras.”

“If it weren’t for this spell, we might have been detected as soon as we entered this universe.”

While speaking,

Lie Yan drew the orb of light back into his body and took out a Crescent Pendant.

This was used to discern the location of Long Aotian, with one of each for a pair.

The other one was with Long Aotian.

Previously,

perhaps because a Universe Level Powerhouse was isolating the inside from the outside of the universe,

the pendant had always been unresponsive.

Only now that they had arrived in this universe,

the pendant finally showed light and could guide their direction.

“Let’s go.”

As his words fell,

Lie Yan turned his gaze to Chen Sheng.

“Chen Sheng, the King said before we set off that you would lead the mission in every aspect.”

“Take charge of this jade pendant and—”

“No way!”

The words were not yet complete,

when a stern rebuke rang out in everyone’s minds.

Chang Mu Envoy Qing He, who was standing by, quickly interjected.

Seeing everyone look at her,

the hasty Chang Mu, realizing her eagerness, quickly adjusted her expression.

She first apologized to Chen Sheng,

“Sorry, Qing He did not intend to offend the honored guest.”

Then,

without waiting for Chen Sheng to respond,

Chang Mu looked at Lie Yan with a serious face.

“This mission is of great importance.”

“Whether we can successfully rescue Aotian directly affects whether the Spiritual Martial World can ascend to High Martial smoothly.”

“Although the King always plans without fault,”

“no matter how I think about it, compared to outsiders who do not understand the situation, it is better for you, Lie Yan, to take charge.”

“As Martial Gods, we can’t always think about relying on the King. Occasionally we need to make our own decisions based on the situation, right?”

“I propose that Lie Yan lead this mission.”

“Who agrees, who opposes?”

The pendant was but a pretext.

Qing He’s heart ached for Long Aotian.

She could be said to be the most concerned about the success of this mission.

Thus,

she was not like the other three Martial Gods,

even if they didn’t understand why the Spiritual Martial King would let Chen Sheng, an outsider, lead the mission, they did not dare object to this decision.

If it’s unreasonable,

it should be voiced.

That also was Chang Mu’s consistent personality.

As soon as she finished,

Lie Yan glared furiously, ready to berate.

“I think what Chang Mu sister said is indeed reasonable.”
