I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2593 - 1180: Lingxiao Immortal Armor (Part 2)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Chen Mobai pondered this point and fixed his gaze upon the Netherworld Queen, a chill emerging in his eyes.
Even though the Netherworld Queen’s eyes lay hidden beneath a blindfold, Chen Mobai’s murderous intent transmitted clearly to her.
Following that, neither of them spoke another word.
A day and a half afterward, the First Netherworld General rose from the mat. His formerly vibrant and surging vitality abruptly gathered and subdued, as though advancing to a superior realm.
Once his enlightenment concluded, he vanished right from the mat.
Chen Mobai grasped the situation and abruptly turned toward the Netherworld Queen.
Back at the Immortal Gate, after the Purple Cloud Palace’s interrogation, all others disappeared at once, yet the Netherworld Queen remained for an extended duration, even holding a prolonged discussion with him.
"You don’t have much time left before your death."
The Netherworld Queen declared this out of nowhere.
Merging the prior alerts from the Heavenly Blessing, Chen Mobai abruptly conceived a certain notion.
"Have you been cultivating void for ages?"
Chen Mobai questioned solemnly.
"From the instant of my birth, I’ve dwelled within the Life and Death Great Dao."
The Netherworld Queen responded with tranquility.
Right then, Chen Mobai witnessed her silhouette turn ethereal, morphing from human shape to feline form, before ultimately scattering into vapor.
Buzz!
The Purple Cloud Palace commenced quaking; Chen Mobai merely sensed his form steadily elevating, aware that he was exiting Ming Wang Star together with the palace.
He arrived at the doorway, beholding the vista beyond.
The thick black clouds amassed by the King of the Underworld’s undead legions appeared pierced by the sun’s glaring ray, effortlessly breached by the Purple Cloud Palace.
Chen Mobai eyed the King of the Underworld hovering mid-air, his expression furious, beside the elegant Netherworld Queen and the now more enigmatic First Netherworld General, realizing this heralded the most horrifying inaugural battle in Immortal Gate history.
Like a shooting star, the Purple Cloud Palace shattered through successive layers of gloom, as the fearsome Underworld Race trailed in a streak of necrotic glow while the stone edifice kept climbing.
Ultimately, with a thunderous bellow, the endless River of Death encircling Ming Wang Star failed to endure the Great Dao power released by the fleeing Purple Cloud Palace and ripped apart, forming a rift.
Now freed from the River of Death’s shackles, Chen Mobai drew forth Turtle Treasure and pressed the return function.
In a burst of silvery radiance, he crossed the threshold in the final half-second.
The King of the Underworld led the Netherworld Queen and fellow Netherworld Generals in a charge, their visages twisting upon spotting him, unleashing surges of death qi capable of obliterating any Divinity Transformation toward the cosmic emptiness where Chen Mobai stood.
Chen Mobai wished to bid adieu to the King of the Underworld and companions, but recalling the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon meant he wouldn’t meet them anew, he dropped his uplifted hand.
Amid flashing silver glow, he instantly blinked away from the location.
The death qi surge propelled by the King of the Underworld eroded and dissolved that void segment, though he recognized his pursuit proved futile.
"Damn it! Activate every death qi tower right away, and charge toward Earth Element Star at maximum velocity!"
Watching Chen Mobai vanish so effortlessly before the Netherworld Race’s elite masters, the King of the Underworld abandoned all rationality.
The Netherworld Queen and First Netherworld General refrained from restraining him, knowing that failing to eliminate Chen Mobai would doom Ming Wang Star to total annihilation once he advanced further.
Shortly, Ming Wang Star, previously advancing at standard speed toward Earth Element Star, started spewing dark fumes that twisted through the cosmos, resembling a helix accelerating its course.
Chen Mobai had hastened back to Earth Element Star’s outer orbit at the first chance.
Upon reaching the city, he glanced upward at the portal, which stood partially open.
Via the portal, he observed Ming Wang Star hurtling faster in this direction.
"Pure Yang, you’ve returned!"
At that instant, an elated voice rang in Chen Mobai’s ear. He turned to spot Qi Yuheng and the rest unchanged from his departure.
The sole difference lay in the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon’s progress bar hitting 49%.
Evidently, his communiqué held sway, prompting the Immortal Gate’s swift compliance.
"Ming Wang Star’s power and heritage vastly exceed our Immortal Gate. Apart from the Death God, suspicions arise of others pursuing void cultivation..."
Chen Mobai succinctly summarized his dozens of days on Ming Wang Star, focusing chiefly on the revived King of the Underworld, the enigmatic Netherworld Queen, and the formidable First Netherworld General.
Hearing this account, Qi Yuheng and the others broke out in cold sweats on his behalf.
"Pure Yang, how exactly did you slip past the King of the Underworld and others on Ming Wang Star?"
"I discovered a method to merge once more with the Purple Cloud Palace; specifics can wait. With the foe accelerating here, it must be at prime firing distance now, correct?"
Chen Mobai skillfully shifted focus, gesturing toward Ming Wang Star’s view through the portal’s slit, then addressing distant Mei Hua and Yuan Xu. The pair promptly joined forces to compute the stellar path, affirming the result.
"Pure Yang, this blast embodies at least five millennia of Immortal Gate’s amassed reserves!"
Qi Yuheng expressed with evident reluctance.
Not from unwillingness, but contemplating the arduously gathered spirit resources from successive Divinity Transformations and Dragon God Star conflict spoils, over seventy percent of which this single discharge would expend, stirring profound remorse.
"Survival grants us the chance to ponder all else."
Chen Mobai voiced this candidly; he strode directly to the Lingxiao Palace-formed cannon barrel, nodding to Cheng Xuan who commanded this pinnacle Immortal Gate war relic.
"Pure Yang, this firing bears grave karma; shall I take your place?"
Cheng Xuan wavered at this juncture, proposing an alternative.
Though the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon functioned fully, triggering it demanded a Deity Transformation True Monarch to wear the Lingxiao Immortal Armor for activation.
The Lingxiao Palace and Lingxiao Immortal Armor represented Dance Tool Dao Academy’s supreme masterpieces, their ignition relying on "The Union of Differences".
Beyond Chen Mobai, Cheng Xuan could force it if compelled.
"Senior brother, this assault decides our Immortal Gate’s fate. Your realm falls short for control; it must be me!"
Chen Mobai stated firmly.
Cheng Xuan felt deeply touched upon hearing this.
The Chaos Primal Energy Cannon’s second phase stood as the Immortal Gate’s ultimate ace, an unprecedented supreme assault never fired.
This exceeded Deity Transformation might.
Thus, uncertainty loomed over whether the Lingxiao Immortal Armor wearer firing it would emerge unscathed.
Yet facing this peril, Chen Mobai displayed zero doubt.
With "The Union of Differences" engaging, a suit of immaculate white Immortal Armor emerged, enveloping his limbs, torso, and cranium completely.
In this instant, Chen Mobai remembered Dragon God Star’s opening war scenes.
Back then, Bai Guang had donned this very armor to shield Earth Element Star.
Now fell his turn.
Chen Mobai stayed utterly composed, for the Heavenly Blessing’s mild caution lacked true life-or-death urgency.
He initiated fusion with the Lingxiao Immortal Armor’s Artifact Spirit through "The Union of Differences," which responded seamlessly to his known presence.
Instantly, boundless spiritual energy akin to a vast sea flooded into him. His Pure Yang Scroll realm surged to Middle Stage Deity Transformation peak, then shattered through effortlessly.
Yet this marked merely the onset!
Post Late Stage Deity Transformation and Spirit Transmutation Perfection, it kept ascending.
Chen Mobai never realized the gulf between Pure Yang Scroll’s Spirit Transmutation Perfection and void cultivation dwarfed the span from Qi Cultivation to Divinity Transformation.
Building upon Spirit Transmutation Perfection as base, he pressed onward, but despite mana and true qi amplifications, he couldn’t breach that final barrier.
Precisely here, Chen Mobai comprehended.
Cultivating void’s domain defied ascent via brute power escalation.
One needed to locate the gateway and stride across.
This constituted treading the Great Dao!
