Chapter 604: Chapter 344: Who Says Might Cannot Bend?
Wings descended upon the mortal realm.
It landed in the Koli’er Valley, far on the other side of the planet.
It was a famous scenic spot.
Surrounded by mountain ranges that stretched for thousands of kilometers, it looked like a massive dragon lying down, with no end in sight.
In the middle was a vast forest, boasting natural beauty.
In the past, many adventurers and survival enthusiasts would visit the valley each year.
But after the battle that took place today,
Such beauty would likely be lost forever.
The only fortune in this misfortune was,
Due to its remoteness, it was rarely frequented by humans.
Even the fiercest battles that happened here would have minimal impact on human habitats.
At least,
That’s what Li Wuji had thought not long ago.
When Wings unleashed its full strength.
The powerful shockwaves it generated had already sent Li Wuji’s body flying far away.
Fortunately,
At the time, Wings focused all its attention on Chen Sheng, ignoring Li Wuji, which allowed him to escape.
At the very first moment after adjusting his position,
Li Wuji saw Wings, its aura continuously ascending.
Just looking at its distorted, swollen muscles made it difficult for him to breathe.
It was only at this moment that,
Li Wuji realized something: this Heavenly Person had been toying with him all along and had never used its true strength.
Not until Chen Sheng’s arrival.
Next,
A fierce battle would likely ensue.
Knowing that he couldn’t intervene, Li Wuji pushed off the ground and quickly distanced himself from the battlefield.
Then, when he looked back at the scene for just an instant.
Wings,
Disappeared directly from his line of sight.
So fast!
Li Wuji’s pupils constricted.
With his eyes,
He couldn’t make out Wings’ trajectory at all.
He instinctively wanted to warn Chen Sheng.
However,
The thought had barely surfaced in his mind before something happened.
A dark shadow flashed in front of Chen Sheng, and something seemed to fly out diagonally.
Following its trajectory,
It seemed to be heading towards the mountain peak on the right.
Before Li Wuji could even react to what had happened,
The next second,
Boom!!!
The sudden explosion made his eardrums tremble.
The sky.
The ground.
They shook violently as never before.
Dense smoke immediately filled the area, obscuring everything in its surroundings.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Li Wuji hadn’t had a chance to think,
When the piercing sound of breaking air rapidly approached.
He dodged left and right,
As huge rocks flew past him at breathtaking speeds.
The rumbling noise grew more and more distant,
Finally showing signs of subsiding after several seconds.
Inside the thick smoke,
Li Wuji’s heart raced.
What was this apocalyptic scene? Whose attack had caused it?
Was it Chen Sheng’s?
Or…
With a mix of curiosity and trepidation, Li Wuji kept his aura low as he tried to sense the situation on the battlefield.
When he felt that Chen Sheng’s aura had not changed and was still in the same spot,
His suspended heart finally relaxed a bit.
Phew-
As an unknown breeze blew in, the dust and smoke slowly dispersed.
The scenery around him gradually revealed itself to Li Wuji.
Then,
His body froze in place.
To the right of the battlefield, a mountain peak thousands of meters high had vanished into thin air.
Standing inside the valley,
He could clearly see the world outside.
A mountain range stretching thousands of kilometers had been cut in half.
Moreover,
Starting from Chen Sheng’s position.
A gigantic chasm appeared before Li Wuji’s eyes.
Its length and depth could not be discerned.
Looking ahead, there was no end in sight.
Looking down, he only saw darkness.
It was as if a colossal giant had used its finger to carve a clear divide across the planet’s surface.
With this stroke,
The landscape had been forever changed.
With this stroke,
The ground had been split in two.
Li Wuji could even hear the sound of seawater pouring in from tens of kilometers away.
Gulp.
His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.
Looking at Chen Sheng not too far away,
For the first time in his life, Li Wuji felt fear towards a human.
Even though Chen Sheng had shifted the continent several centimeters with a single punch two days ago,
Back then, he had been deep inside the Slumbering Land, and his perception of everything was far less vivid and shocking than what he saw now.
“Wait for me.”
At this point,
Chen Sheng, who was not far away, looked at Li Wuji and gestured towards the direction where Wings had fled.
“I’ll go bring it back.”
“You hold onto these first.”
Chen Sheng threw a large snakeskin bag to Li Wuji.
“…”
Li Wuji hadn’t recovered from his shock, but he instinctively caught the bundle.
What’s in here?
The bag was not small, but it was filled to the brim with ball-shaped objects.
As soon as Li Wuji caught it,
A strong smell of blood assaulted his senses, making his face change color.
Previously focused on the intense battle, he’d only noticed that Chen Sheng had been carrying something, but he hadn’t paid much attention to it.
It was only now,
That he noticed the snakeskin bag.
Thinking back to what Chen Sheng had said before,
Could it be that inside were- ”
With a trembling heart, Li Wuji slowly unzipped the bag.
Sure enough,
Before him were countless decapitated heads.
Some were deformed.
Some were damaged.
Each had a different shape.
But the one thing they all had in common was that every head had the same expression,
A mix of fear, shock, and disbelief.
Without exception,
At the center of their eyebrows, each head had a rhombic crystal embedded.
These… these were all Heavenly People!
And,
Li Wuji carefully counted,
There were exactly twenty Heavenly People heads inside.
And there were twenty-one fluctuations in energy readings.
