Chapter 1273: Chapter 1048: Northern Continent Collapses (Part 2)

Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu, thoroughly investigate the spatial nodes within the borders!

Sky Patrol Department... once again enter a state of war!

"Yes, Red Emperor!" The various Imperial Thrones responded in unison.

With a command from the Red Emperor, the Four Imperials of the Sky Patrol Department immediately went into action.

The Azure Dragon and White Tiger Imperials are responsible for scouting the northern situation, while the Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu Imperials are tasked with investigating and clearing the numerous Gray Realm entrances from before.

At the first moment, the information was communicated to other departments such as the Military Supervision Department and the Education Bureau.

The Gray Realm has arrived, and this matter is extraordinary; the armies in various regions have already taken action nearby!

...

Outside East Pole City, near Great Flame and one of the largest spatial nodes with the Gray Realm.

At this moment, Admiral Zheng Hao, who received urgent orders, has already entered a state of alert, and has conscripted the City Guard from East Pole City to guard this place.

In an instant, there gathered no less than five generals!

Everyone is fully prepared, although the majority of soldiers at the school level and below do not know the specifics, they are aware that something seems to have changed in the Gray Realm.

At this moment, a figure suddenly arrived from the horizon, appearing in the midst of the army in just a moment.

Zheng Hao immediately stood up, recognizing the ring on the newcomer’s hand, knowing this was a Royal Envoy from the Sky Patrol Department.

Although the newcomer is quite young, King-level powerhouses’ appearance cannot be used as a standard for old or young.

Because anyone easily could be a powerhouse who has lived for hundreds of years, except for a New King emerging during Earth Tribulation.

However, this person is not only young but also seems very familiar...

"Royal Envoy... Su Zhen, Envoy Su?!"

Recognizing this person’s appearance, Zheng Hao first froze, then his face broke into a delighted expression.

The surrounding soldiers also glanced at the newcomer, equally surprised and excitingly respectful, is this not the Vermilion Bird True Monarch who earned the first merit in Earth Tribulation!

"Ninth Corps of the Eastern Military District, Admiral Zheng Hao, greets Envoy Su." Zheng Hao immediately gave a heavy salute.

The crowd followed suit saying, "Greetings, Envoy Su!"

Su Yuan nodded slightly and directly asked: "General Zheng, what’s the situation with this node?"

This spatial node is one of the largest. Not far inside lies a Royal Court, so Su Yuan rushed over using spatial techniques.

Zheng Hao respectfully said: "Envoy Su, according to the Spirit Exploration Barrier, the energy on the other side of the node is roughly the same as before, likely still guarded by a Burning Sun Level Demon Beast army without much change."

Over the years, although the barrier between the world of the Gray Realm and Great Flame has grown weaker, it has become easier to explore.

Through the Spirit Exploration Barrier, one can roughly understand the situation behind the node without risking venturing deep inside.

Su Yuan nodded slightly, raising his hand to tear open a spatial fissure.

"Everyone guard this place; I’ll go in and investigate."

After speaking, Su Yuan flickered and broke into the spatial node, disappearing in an instant.

Only when the spatial ripples slowly closed did Zheng Hao and the other officers finally withdrew their gaze.

"It... really is Su Zhen... Envoy Su?!"

Beside him, another burly man with a face full of black beard glowed with eyes full of admiration.

"It really is Envoy Su!"

"Damn, being able to see this legendary figure in person, it’s worth been stationed here for half a year!"

"..."

Many officers were filled with excitement, and in the Gray Realm, a flash of silver light revealed Su Yuan’s arrival.

The sky was dim, a desolate landscape, indistinguishable from previous impressions of the Gray Realm...

"Human!"

Seeing Su Yuan appear, the Gray Realm Demon Beast inside reacted immediately.

Unable to sense Su Yuan’s strength, a Burning Sun level giant directly roared and transformed into its true form, Bull Demon, wielding a huge mace, stepping forward to strike at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan casually raised his finger to easily block the Bull Demon’s mace, raising his eyes to look at the opponent.

He saw the angry eyes of the Bull Demon glaring with a faint dark hue, as if something unusual was swirling within.

"Roar, damn it!"

The Bull Demon roared in anger, its blood surged and strength increased.

But Su Yuan had no interest in playing further, flicking his finger, sending the Bull Demon flying back from a heavy impact, "bang!" crashing into the distant sandy ground, fainting instantly!

"Kill!!"

From all sides, thousands of demon beasts charged densely from all directions, seeming fearless.

Silver light flashed in Su Yuan’s eyes, and all the charging Star Beasts were blocked by a surge of spatial power.

Su Yuan activated One Heart Dustless, raising his gaze to the numerous Star Beasts, noticing that all their eyes carried a faint dark hue.

"Spiritual Enchantment... pawns, huh?"

Su Yuan’s eyes shifted slightly, realizing the circumstances, and with a wave of his hand, the invisible spatial barrier expanded rapidly.

"Poof poof poof...!"

Limbs flew, blood splashed, all the Star Beasts were shattered instantly by the violently expanding spatial barrier!

Su Yuan did not look further, immediately proceeding forward.

After half an hour, Su Yuan suddenly stopped.

"Ahead, there should be a King-level territory, but now... has transformed into a sheer stone wall?"

Facing the blocked path ahead, Su Yuan raised his right hand and pressed against the stone wall.

A wave of spatial power emanated from his palm, causing the wall to tremble then collapse, revealing a large hole!

In the next instant, black wind howled, void trembled, countless spatial turbulences bombarded Su Yuan.

But the spatial power around Su Yuan slightly fluctuated, effortlessly fending off the turbulence.

Su Yuan peered ahead, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Because before him lay a boundless black void!

Su Yuan raised his hand, casting an Imperial Decree, then flickered into the outer void.

A surge of "suffocation" rushed at him; in this void devoid of Earth Qi, rootless and unanchored, no Star Power could be found.

For cultivators, including Kings, it’s exceedingly perilous.

Even Kings, starting to learn the Laws, cannot yet leave Star Power.

Being long trapped in the void is like fish out of water, even Kings would eventually exhaust their Star Power.

However, Su Yuan had the Qingming Realm reserve, not fearing the void short-term.

Su Yuan’s form constantly flickered, his eyes gleaming with silver light, "Thousand-Mile Eye" scanning the void all around.

After a long while, Su Yuan finally detected something, raising his hand to grab, catching a dimly lit broken branch.

"Spiritualized Divine Tree..." Su Yuan looked further north, "Heading northward, seems they plan to turn the Northern Continent into a stronghold."

Su Yuan gazed at the branch in hand, pondering.

The Gray Realm occupying the Northern Continent in such a manner, not fearing attack from the three continents?

Not knowing if brazen overconfidence, or possessing inherent capability.

"Gray Realm..."

After briefly contemplating, Su Yuan issued a Transmission Decree and returned to the shattered stone wall, immediately exiting this node continuing towards the next...
