Chapter 471: Foundations
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Since ancient times, humans have never stopped their pursuit of a longer life . No matter if it was a rich businessman, a dominant ruler, or small tradesmen and menial servants, everybody wished to live a little longer .
Of course, those who had lost all hope in life and sought their own death did not count .
If one asked a billionaire who was on the verge of death whether they would be willing to give up all their assets for an extra 10 years of life, probably 90 percent of people would be willing to do the trade .
Ordinary humans were the most condemned bunch . No matter how healthily they lived, their lifespan was at the most slightly over 100 . But cultivators were different; refining essence into Qi, and Qi into spirit, every breakthrough in cultivation would open a shackle on the mortal body, allowing the body to evolve to a higher level of lifeform, granting a longer lifespan and stronger powers .
After tasting the sweet benefits just once, nobody would be willing to give up this kind of opportunity . That was the reason that cultivators from all over the world had gathered together no matter their race and nationality .
On this day, the representatives of every country were having a meeting when the Hangu Pass started shaking .
This tremor was accompanied by a dragon's roar, and felt like a dragon flipping its body . The evening sunset glow disappeared, and a thick layer of purple mist that covered the sky surged over!
This scene caused everyone to look up in shock before a great excitement seized them .
"Purple Qi from the East!"
"The legends are real!"
Seeing the boundless Purple Qi surging over, the entire Chinese group grew excited .
A terrifying suppresive pressure appeared as the Hangu Pass began to change . With rapid speed visible to the naked eye, it began to grow taller suddenly, to a point where the crowd could not even see its top!
Numerous fine cracks appeared in the sky above Hangu Pass . At this time, the space looked a cracked mirror .
In the moment that the transformation began, the satallites lost their signal . Nothing could be seen in the area of 20 li around Hangu Pass .
All the major powers of the world were keeping watch over the area . At the same time, large numbers of elite soldiers surrounded the area .
But although they could not wait to see the cancerous bunch go as soon as possible, everyone's thoughts were still extremely complicated .
The world was huge, but Earth was only a tiny planet . There were simply too many people, and if these experts really left, did that mean that they could do the same as well?
At this time, Hangu Pass was already over several tens of thousand zhang tall . An all-suppressing aura hung around it as though it was a divine city!
"My calculations weren't wrong! This is the place! Haha!
"Although my cultivation talent is poor, if this old one claims number two in terms of formation knowledge, no one alive would dare to claim first! It's been 70 years, a full 70 years! As expected, this old one has not calculated wrongly!"
An old man with his head wreathed in white hair was sobbing and laughing like a little child . The old man's cultivation was not high, only at the Evolved Jing realm . He was already over a hundred years old, and from the looks of it, if he didn't break through to the Xiantian realm soon, he would only have a few years left to live .
This person was a real formation genius . Although his cultivation talent was extremely poor, his skill in formations was incredibly powerful!
Everyone looked upwards with expectant gazes .
Bei Feng was also extremely amazed by this sight . The countless cracks in the space as well as the thumb-sized lightning bolts dashing through the sky were enough to cause even him to feel a deadly threat .
"What a grand stroke by Qin Shihuang!"
Wang Wuyou looked at the sky with a dark light in his eyes as if he could see the world behind the cracks .
The ground had already stopped rumbling, but the transformation hadn't ended . The spatial crack also began to grow bigger suddenly!
The shadow of the corner of a huge landmass appeared, causing everyone to instantly grow excited .
"That's the Qin Emperor Mausoleum! So it actually exists like this!"
The crowd was extremely astonished .
Everyone felt shocked to the core; such a phenomenon was simply too terrifying! It'd been several thousand years, but this formation was still so powerful!
The number of experts that'd come here from the Vatican numbered over 500, and they were the undisputed number one power present . Only after they arrived did the world finally know just how deep their foundations were!
Of the 500 people, over a third were experts in the Controlled Dan realm, or had strength similar to that . Before this, it was said that the victory against the vampire race was a hard fought one . But from the looks of it now, it seemed more like they'd merely been toying with the other party .
At this time, the person behind the Pope passed over a scepter . The scepter was incredibly intricate and beautiful, and a milky white gem floated at the top of it . A terrifying energy radiated constantly from the scepter .
The other powerful factions also took out their own treasures, and the might emanating from them directly caused the entire area of 20 li to sink a few meters!
The large numbers of powerful treasures shone with all sorts of colors; the energy produced by them was incredibly frightening, and was not something that the Controlled Dan level of strength could block .
'All crows under the sky are black, who says that only China has deep foundations? These foreigners are also not inferior!'
Bei Feng's mouth twitched lightly as he looked at the scene . These old fellows . . . each one had hidden their strength deeper than the other . Out of everyone, Bei Feng's attention was mainly focused on the experts of the Vatican .
He did not believe that these people would only have a single powerful treasure . Their strength was too great, and during the years when their crusades swept across half the world, countless treasures had been gathered into their coffers .
Among the various factions and powers, the number of Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts was only counted by single digits, while the experts from the Vatican were counted at least by double digits .
"Boom!"
Waves of terrifying tremors surged over, and everybody grew serious as if they were facing a great enemy .
High up in the sky, huge pieces of mud and stone rained down from the landmass, smashing numerous large holes in the ground .
"Not good! The formation is still active, and the portion of the mausoleum that's being revealed is not enough to grant us passage through!
"Everyone, do not hesitate, use all your attacks on the spatial crack above!"
The old formation master's face changed drastically as he looked at the massive transformations . The laymen only saw the outer appearance of things, while the experts saw the details . The formation was still capable of supporting the mausoleum for a period of time; however, the bit of shadow was disappearing soon!
If the mausoleum disappeared this time, the old man did not dare to say that he would be able to find the next location where it would appear!
Everyone grew anxious as the large group of Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts directly flew upwards and attacked together!
Countless dazzling attacks of different colors continuously smashed against the spatial rift, causing it to grow bigger slowly . As it expanded, the Qin Emperor's mausoleum began to grow more and more temporal and realistic!
But as the mausoleum started to turn illusory again, everyone attacked with all their might!
The originally stable formation began to waver under the bombardment of one to almost two thousand Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts, and the spatial rift also grew wider and wider .
The combined full force attacks of nearly 2,000 Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts was terrifying to an extreme level, to the point where everyone was gasping with astonishment .
"Hurry up and use the Dragon Imprisoning Chains! The mausoleum is about to move soon!" the over one hundred years old formation master cried out in a panicked voice .
"Dragon Imprisoning Chains, seal the Heavens and lock the Earth!"
Ling Xu took out a piece of five-colored stone from his sleeves . The stone emanated a terrifying energy, far surpassing even top grade spirit stones!
In his other hand was a metal chain that seemed as if it would dissipate into nothingness at any moment due to the flow of time . Ling Xu placed the five-colored stone on the chain, and immediately, it seemed to truly awaken!
Numerous huge, heaven-encompassing chains stretched out from his hands, directly appearing beside the mausoleum as though they had teleported through space, and locked it in place .
Ling Xu's expression was pale as he shouted, "Don't hold back anymore! Otherwise, none of us will make it through!"
Everyone's attacks paused as their trump cards were taken out . The attack power of each treasure was actually comparable to a strike by a Transcendent realm expert!
Four, five hundred powerful weapons were unleased, and large-scale attacks that covered several kilometers appeared!
The most terrifying attack came from the holy scepter in the pope's hand . An eight-winged angel burst out of the scepter, hacking swiftly towards the spatial rift!
This attack had even surpassed the Transcendent realm, and was incomparably frightening!
Everyone looked upwards nervously . Success or defeat all depended on this one strike!
"Kcha!"
A splintering sound rang out, like a mirror being shattered .
A hundred meter wide black-colored hole appeared in the sky, as though a portion of the sky had been forcefully cut out!
Under the expectant eyes of the crowd, a bright white light appeared behind the black-colored hole, growing nearer and larger with rapid speed!
"Incredible!"
"What a mystical east region . "
"What a grand scene, even the holy medicinal garden that existed during the Vatican's most glorious period was not as spectacular as this—it was not even one percent of the scale of this mausoleum!"
As the light grew nearer and nearer, the shock in everyone's eyes grew more pronounced .
At this moment, even the lofty Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts each felt like a bumpkin when looking at a magnificent palace . Their expressions were frozen as they looked upwards with shock .
An obscure energy ripple seeped out of the black hole, growing stronger and stronger through the huge landmass .
Everyone could feel how powerful the energy would be if it burst forth, enough to overturn the skies and shake the earth!
"Boom!"
A huge collision sound rang out, and a great many Xiantian Lords felt their bodies jolt as blood flowed out of their ears . Some people's brains directly burst from the pressure, and a large number of people's eyeballs exploded!
The Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts were much better off, but their blood and Qi still violently shook .
The huge landmass approached the black hole, colliding together with it . The colliding sound had come from that . In that moment, the air seemed to have solidified like solid steel, and was incomparably tough .
However, when the collision happened, the space was still directly torn apart, tearing a ghastly rift over 10,000 zhang long in the air!
The space was like a piece of cloth; with such a large tear in it, tiny cracks began to spready outwards from it!
The huge landmass that was flickering between illusory and solid was suddenly stuck in the ever-mending spatial crack .
A shocking energy surged out, suppressing the world . The Xiantian Lords in the area felt like their movements had been restricted greatly . While the Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts were much better off, they, too, seemed to have been burdened with a great mountain on their backs .
Ling Xu looked towards the Vatican group and said in a gruff voice, "The rest will depend on you all . "
The pope nodded his head in return . Although he looked extremely old now, his eyes still carried a bright gleam in them .
With a wave of his hand, a golden chalice-shaped treasure appeared . In the instant it appeared, everyone felt their minds shake .
A grim look hung on the pope's aged face, and his eyes revealed a pained expression .
Following that, he muttered a few strange syllables with his mouth . Each syllable directly materialized into reality, turning into a lustrous white light that fell into the chalice .
A layer of dense golden-yellow light burst into the sky, and numerous cracks appeared on the chalice . A short moment later, the treasured chalice burst apart abruptly!
The golden-yellow light condensed and an infant fist-sized golden-yellow liquid appeared in its place, giving off a faint fragrance .
Following that, it evaporated and turned into a ray of light which surged outwards in all directions, enveloping everyone in a faint golden radiance!
