Chapter 2701: Chapter 2701: Invaders Approaching
In the icy and desolate expanse of the boundless space, a figure surged through like light and lightning.
The figure, clad in white, stood in stark contrast to the surrounding infinite darkness.
The fierce astral winds and immense pressure of the endless space were such that any ordinary Emperor Realm expert entering would have to circulate Immortal Law to form a Defense Qi Shield just to linger for a brief moment.
Flying for a single breath in the endless space equated to moving ten thousand miles in the outside world.
Thus, Emperor Realm experts preferred to tear through the void, traversing the endless space to reach distant destinations quickly.
The white-clad figure was none other than Fang Bai.
Previously, Fang Bai had obtained some Starshine Stones from the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor’s Spatial Demon Ring; however, upon returning to the Emperor’s Palace, he distributed those stones to the Hundred Flowers Empress, the Great Luo Immortal Emperor, and some other Immortal Emperors.
Starshine Stones could only be found in the depths of the endless space and were extremely difficult to obtain. For Emperor Realm experts, they were as essential as Immortal Stones and Immortal Elixirs are for Immortals — indispensable cultivation resources.
Fang Bai was now an Emperor Realm expert, and his unique physique made him a one-of-a-kind existence in the Immortal Realm. He could linger in the endless space relying solely on his formidable physical body, without needing to form a Defense Qi Shield for protection.
This was something no other Emperor Realm expert could accomplish.
Hence, Fang Bai decided to share his Starshine Stones with other Emperor Realm experts in the Emperor’s Palace and enter the endless space himself to seek more.
For Emperor Realm experts, the depths of endless space harbored many unknowns.
Throughout history, numerous Emperor Realm experts had ventured into the depths of endless space, seeking to discover just what kind of world it was and what treasures it might hold, yet almost all went and never returned.
Thus, Emperor Realm experts deemed the depths of endless space exceedingly perilous and dared not enter lightly.
Upon learning that the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor had once reached the Divine Realm, Fang Bai speculated that the endless space was not boundless. Perhaps its far shore was the Divine Realm, the dream of Emperor Realm experts.
However, what the Divine Realm truly looked like, or how it differed from the Immortal Realm, Fang Bai did not know.
Perhaps only the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor, reborn from the Divine Realm, could explain it clearly.
Fang Bai’s yearning for the Divine Realm stemmed from the tales that cultivating within it could lead to the realm of immortality.
Throughout the Immortal Realm, which Immortal did not wish for limitless life and undying eternity?
Fang Bai once pondered whether those Great Emperor Level Experts who had vanished among the three realms eons ago had indeed reached the far side of endless space and found the Divine Realm.
In his previous life, at his peak power, Fang Bai attempted to delve into the endless space. However, after just flying for a hundred breaths, he had to retreat because he couldn’t withstand the fierce astral winds and terrifying pressure inside.
In this life, after interacting with the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor several times, Fang Bai realized that without reaching the Great Emperor Realm, seeking the far shore of endless space was likely impossible.
So, this time, he entered the endless space solely to find Starshine Stones for future cultivation and not to explore the deeper parts of the Endless Abyss.
Fang Bai traversed the endless space for several dozen breaths, gathering over a hundred Starshine Stones, before returning to the Emperor’s Palace in the Immortal Realm.
"I’ve noticed that the current Starshine Stones in endless space are becoming scarcer. If this continues, future Emperor Realm experts will find it increasingly difficult to become a Great Emperor."
Fang Bai said with a wry smile to the Hundred Flowers Empress and the other Emperor Realm experts.
Upon entering the endless space, for every additional breath an Emperor Realm expert lingers, a large amount of Immortal Qi is consumed; yet to search for Starshine Stones, they must linger for a while.
Thus, any Emperor Realm expert who enters the endless space to search for Starshine Stones, upon their return to the Immortal Realm, will find their Immortal Qi nearly depleted and will need to focus on recovery for some time.
Fang Bai was no exception.
However, thanks to his unique physique, Fang Bai’s recovery of Immortal Qi after returning from searching for Starshine Stones in endless space was several times faster than that of other Emperor Realm experts.
Originally, Fang Bai had the World Tree to provide an endless supply of Immortal Qi, but upon entering the endless space, some Immortal Trees and Immortal Fruits, including the World Tree, seemed to wither and no longer emitted Immortal Qi.
"It seems the World Tree belongs to the Immortal Realm. Now that immortal cultivation resources are scarce in the Immortal Realm, significantly limiting Immortal cultivation, if I become a Great Emperor, I hope to traverse the boundless stars and reach the Divine Realm, leaving the World Tree in the Immortal Realm to benefit the Immortals."
Fang Bai secretly made this decision.
Under Fang Bai’s leadership and the guidance of several Immortal Emperors, the entire Emperor’s Palace operated in a tense yet orderly manner.
Almost a hundred thousand immortals were assigned around the Emperor’s Palace, relying on multiple Emperor Rank Formations set up by Fang Bai to prepare for the impending attack from six top-tier forces.
In Fang Bai’s words, the Emperor’s Palace was now ready for anything, just waiting for the six top-tier forces to arrive.
The disciples of the Emperor’s Palace and those fighting alongside the palace were constantly motivated and inspired by Lightning Mink, Wu De, Ghost Hand, and other lower realm immortals, spending their days in an exhilarating state, eager to clash with the six top-tier forces immediately.
On this day, a few immortal birds subdued by the Qilin Immortal Emperor and Bixie Immortal Emperor flew over the Emperor’s Palace, shrieking loudly.
These immortal birds had been patrolling and surveying thousands of miles away from the Emperor’s Palace, providing early warnings for the palace disciples to prevent a surprise attack from the six top-tier forces.
"They’ve finally come!"
Fang Bai, leading several Immortal Emperors, stepped out of the Palace Master Hall, gazing at the immortal birds hovering in the sky, muttering to himself.
As he spoke, his expression was calm, and his tone was indifferent.
Before returning to the Immortal Realm and advancing to an Emperor Realm expert, Fang Bai constantly thought about rebuilding the Emperor’s Palace and waging a revenge war against the eight top-tier forces.
However, as his power recovered and he had several interactions with the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor, Fang Bai’s mindset underwent a significant change.
This change in mindset did not mean he no longer wished for revenge, but possessing immense strength and confidence, the matter of revenge seemed assured to him, without needing to expend much mental energy on it.
Now, he was more concerned about the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor who had escaped during the barrier battle.
Although the six top-tier Immortal Emperors posed a significant threat, they were out in the open, and for such threats, one could just meet them head-on.
But after the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor escaped, he vanished without a trace and never reappeared, which worried Fang Bai.
In Fang Bai’s eyes, compared to the six top-tier Immortal Emperors, the threat posed by the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor was far greater.
If one day the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor regained his Great Emperor Realm cultivation, it would herald great calamity for the Immortal Realm when he reappeared.
Fang Bai certainly did not want the order he re-established in the Immortal Realm after defeating the six top-tier forces to be disrupted by the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor.
Therefore, upon learning that the six top-tier forces were heading toward the Emperor’s Palace, while the other palace disciples were tense yet excited, his thoughts had already drifted far away.
