Chapter 840 Don’t Block My Way, Guys!
“Open the shrine; cast the spell!”
Looking down from the Connate Cliff, the world below looked like a pitch-black ocean. It looked as if many nameless ocean beasts were tumbling and roaring in the ink-colored black ocean of clouds among the occasional blinding lightning flashes.
The high platform on the cliff was about 1,000 meters high. On the platform was a three-legged cauldron with engraved dragon patterns, and a coiled dragon incense stick was burning with thick black smoke gushing out.
The smoke that was as black as ink turned the whole ocean of clouds below the cliff into black, and a big black flag embroidered with complicated bright yellow runes flapped in the gust like a black dragon.
-In the mortal world-
The rain poured down even harder as if the heavenly river was falling. In the storm which the raindrops were falling like a waterfall, the cultivator cities were intact while the small mortal nations were flooded by surging water. Outside Jiuhua City, a thunderbolt suddenly flashed, looking as if it cut the whole sky into two parts!
The array patterns on the city walls lit up for one instant and then quickly dimmed!
In the horrifying catastrophe, the river outside the city roared like a black furious dragon, startling countless demon beasts which swarmed toward the city like mindless animals!
The river water in the city surged over the banks and spread to the whole city through the streets, looking as if the whole city would be devoured by the flood.
“Ah!” Shen Qingqing shrieked when she put one foot out of the threshold. The quick currents outside the door almost swept her away!
During the night, urgent shouts sounded, “The city gate is lost! The city gate is lost!”
“The river is pouring in! Be careful of water demons! Be careful of water demons!”
“Where is the Jiuhua Army?!”
Jiuhua City had been peaceful for countless years and had never witnessed the level of chaos that was present tonight.
Gong He, the Deputy Commander of Jiuhua Army, got offline in a hurry with a few middle-aged men dressed in military uniforms and ran out.
In the Jiuhua City Shop, Half City Shop, Yuanyang City Shop… in the shops, different factions, and big families, the players faced the same situation.
This was definitely a sleepless night!
The Daoist finished casting spells and swaying the Rain Flag, wiping the sweat off his forehead and bowing to the man who was wearing an ancient-looking robe, a gold belt, and a jade headpiece.
In the gust, the man laughed wildly like a demonic god.
“Mr. Gui, I’ve cast spells for seven days continuously. I’m sure that the mortal world is already flooded. The mountains are turned into flat ground while the hills must have become swamps!” the black-robed man snickered.
“Very good!” Wearing in a blue immortal robe with embroidered silver Kirin, a gold belt, and a jade headpiece, the man said in satisfaction, “Rain Officer, well done.”
“From the beginning of time, the Gui Family has been allocated a streak of Dao essence, which gave us the honor where the world would listen to our commands. Breaking the rules made by the ancient families is equal to rebelling against the Heavens! Many years have passed, and I’m afraid that the mortals have long forgotten our power. This time, we’ll make them remember who the master of this world is!” the man said while laughing.
“It’s time!” With a mild word from him, tens of thousands of immortal soldiers behind him soared into the sky!
-Outside the Jiuhua City Shop-
Mr. Fang was fighting off large groups of demon beasts and rescuing people who had fallen into the water with the soldiers of the Jiuhua Army, but the thunder suddenly intensified in the sky with dancing lightning bolts, illuminating the whole world with bright white!
Everyone seemed to have sensed something and looked up at the sky involuntarily.
“Look at the sky!”
“What’s that?!”
“What’s happening?!”
Subconsciously, many people stopped battling and looked up at the sky in which countless lightning dragons and snakes seemed to be pulled by an unknown force and gathered in one spot.
Boundless thunderbolts gradually solidified and condensed into an extremely huge face, looking like a demonic god!
In front of godly power, everyone was like an ant. These cultivators and warriors had never seen such a scene before!
Some low-level cultivators and warriors panicked and yelled in alarm.
“Is… that a god?!”
It’s so horrifying that one tiny trace of this presence is more than what an average person can withstand.
“Are they… really here?!” At this moment, people like An Huwei, Nalan Hongwu, and Shen Qingqing in the Jiuhua City Shop took a step back subconsciously after seeing this and exchanged a look of horror.
They finally came.
Despite their previous proud words, it was impossible not to feel a bit uneasy and fear when the gods finally came.
“Have you made your final decision?” In the sky, the extremely huge head completely made of
thunderbolts said slowly.
The thunderous voice sounded like a roar from a prehistoric demonic god, hurting people’s ears.
Wild gusts swept around as if they would break everything that they touched, and heavy rain poured down as if it would devour everything in its sight!
Frightened by this presence, the countless demon beasts which had gone crazy fled to hide behind the rocks and shivered.
The mortals were even more frightened when hearing the words from an existence that looked like a demonic god under the night sky.
“What decision?!” Despite their fear, some people yelled in fury, “Here, we’ve learned how to be a cultivator, understood the meaning of life, and comprehended the meaning of Dao. We owe it to the shop owner, and do you think that we’d be so ungrateful as to back off at this moment?!”
“No!” At this moment, all the cultivators and warriors yelled furiously.
An Huwei shouted, “What did we do wrong?! What did this shop do wrong?! What made you make such a big move!?”
“Even if it’s a big deal, it’s only a small shop!” Nalan Hongwu looked at the ruined city and said with a shaky voice, “Why did you… do this?!”
“Why did I… do this?” In the sky, the huge face formed by thunderbolts said in a cold voice.
“But… I can tell you!” he said with a snicker, “The Innumerable-Immortal Sea isn’t something that you mortals could imagine. The Green Sky Immortal had warned you, but you are stubborn in your old ways. You only have yourselves to blame.
“Then…” His eyes looked fierce. “Where’s Fang Qi?!”
“Sir!” Shen Qingqing looked at the silent Mr. Fang beside her.
Everyone looked over.
At this moment, Mr. Fang deeply inhaled and walked out. “He’s right. This is the private business
concerning the shop, and you’d better stay out of it. You should back off now.”
“No!” Shen Qingqing yelled immediately.
Su Tianji also said angrily, “Kid Fang, what kind of people do you think we are?! Are we the kind of people who will take all the benefits and flee at the first sign of danger?!”
“She’s right!” Everyone gathered around Mr. Fang, surrounding him in the center to guard him. “This shop is the best shop that we’ve ever seen. We’ll guard it together!”
“If we must die, we’ll die together!”
“It seems like you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin! You can only blame yourselves for following the wrong man. Remember to reincarnate as a better being in your next lifetime.”
Gradually, dark clouds surged behind the huge face in the sky, and countless figures appeared on the clouds. The thronging crowds were all… immortals!
A huge eye appeared in the dense clouds in the sky.
In the eye of the clouds, endless tribulation
thunderbolts gathered. The horrifying thunderbolts could turn any ordinary people into dust.
With countless immortals casting spells together, the Heaven and Earth instantly changed color, and the mountain and land shook!
“You can only blame yourselves for touching the things that you’re not supposed to touch. Today, I’ll show you the difference between immortals and mortals!”
At this moment, everyone saw a huge rainbow-like light pillar shooting down from the Heaven!
Facing such a catastrophe, almost no one could rouse any hope. No one could block such an attack, not even a god. As to Mr. Fang…
Regardless of how powerful he was, he was not a god! Even if he was a god, what could an average god do at this moment?
With weapons in their hands, they stood firmly before Mr. Fang.
In this instant, they remembered the catastrophes that Qi Tiandi caused when he descended to the mortal world and when Carloso destroyed the Arad
Continent. Such a catastrophe was beginning now!
“You guys…” Mr. Fang pushed out of the crowd with great efforts, sweating profusely. Then, he said impatiently, “Don’t block my way, guys!”
