Chapter 1721: Nine Revolutions Realm
After Xiang Shaoyun and company went through the spatial tornado, they moved ahead rapidly.
"We can now move at our top speed," said Xiang Shaoyun.
Purple Lightning Marquis took over the warship's control and utilized all his God Realm energy, causing the warship to surge in speed. Ling Ziruo and Song Tiandao also increased their speed. They both rejoiced in their choice of taking the gamble with Xiang Shaoyun. Otherwise, they would have missed this chance to take the lead from the other competitors.
"Xiang Shaoyun is truly impressive. His cultivation might still be low, but if he continues to grow, he will eventually become the dominion's strongest individual.," muttered Ling Ziruo as she gazed at Xiang Shaoyun from afar.
Her eyes flickered brightly, as though Xiang Shaoyun was a work of art she was trying to etch into her memories. Ling Ziruo had been an exceptional cultivator since young, so it was unsurprising that she had extremely high standards. Only the likes of Qin Jiu, Gongsun Sanyang, Ji Feixian, and Mo Du were qualified to capture her attention. Now, an additional person had caught her attention—Xiang Shaoyun.
Xiang Shaoyun was an individual who could easily cause one to lose oneself, as though he was a magnet that would attract everyone unknowingly. Ling Ziruo's many fellow disciples also found themselves attracted by Xiang Shaoyun. They wished for nothing more than to throw themselves into his arms. Among them, Yue Xi had the strongest feelings for Xiang Shaoyun since he had saved her once.
On the other warship, Song Tiandao smiled as he said, "I knew that fellow was a freak."
All along, he had believed that he was exceptional among his peers. Only after meeting Xiang Shaoyun and Ximen Xue did he realize that there was always a taller mountain out there. As a result, his motivation for cultivating had intensified in recent years.
"Young master, he will be a formidable competitor," said an old man beside Song Tiandao.
"Hehe, I'm still not his match for now," said Song Tiandao with a smile. "No matter. We still have 100 years. I can definitely surpass him."
"Yes. You're incredibly talented. The outside domain battlefield will be your stage," said the old man.
"Yes. My blade is already thirsting for blood," said Song Tiandao as his eyes shone with a sharp light.
Suddenly, Ximen Xue's figure flashed through his mind, causing him to sigh inwardly, I wonder where you are. Without you in this competition, it will get quite lonely.
He and Ximen Xue were destined rivals, yet there was also a sort of connection between the two, one that others would find hard to understand. The group was able to travel without any danger for several days. Finally, they arrived at the outside domain battlefield.
The so-called outside domain battlefield was merely an area of space far from the dominion. Ge Yi had blockaded the entire area, making it extremely difficult for the aliens to get through the battlefield. Only experts stronger than Ge Yi would be able to easily traverse the battlefield.
Of course, with the aliens resuming their invasion, they naturally wouldn't allow regular Gods to become their commanders. In fact, their commanders were experts beyond the God Realm.
Beyond the Rebirth Realm was the Reincarnation Realm. Through Rebirth, one entered the cycle of Reincarnation. The Reincarnation Realm was a fabled realm, and it was rumored that the first guild master of the Guardians Guild was at that realm. That was why he had been able to defeat the aliens during the previous invasion.
To reach the Reincarnation Realm, one needed to undergo the nine revolutions and form the Nine Revolutions Seal, mastering the Nine Revolutions Realm. Each advancement upon reaching the God Realm was extremely difficult. Only the most talented ones would be able to grow faster than the others. Even so, of the countless Gods, very few could reach ninth-stage Rebirth Realm. And it was even harder to go beyond that.
In the dominion, only the nine powerhouses and a few other hermit experts had taken half a step toward that fabled realm. Even the likes of Ge Yi, Huang Tian, Qin Yanhong, and Gongsun Yingxiong were stuck at that step. It was too difficult to enter the Reincarnation Realm.
Not only was incredible talent required, but one also needed an incomparably impressive comprehension capability. Thus, even the aliens found it hard to send an expert of that level to the dominion. Their only choice was to send an expert at the level of Ge Yi, a level known as the Nine Revolutions Realm.
Only upon completion of the nine revolutions would one truly enter the Reincarnation Realm. There were millions of aliens in the invading army. The army was separated into batches, with the vanguard being the current attackers, whereas the stronger ones waited behind them.
In the alien army were two Nine Revolutions Realm experts. These two were in charge of attacking Ge Yi. The two came from noble alien races: the celestial soul race and the phantasma race.
The celestial soul race was a race specializing in soul cultivation. They had the physical appearance of the dwarf race, with the only difference being their massive head and their powerful soul power. Their soul control techniques were terrifyingly powerful and almost unstoppable. At the Nine Revolutions Realm, one only needed a mere thought to place a life form under one's control.
As for the phantasma race, they were among the strongest alien races. Their renowned illusory abilities were capable of easily sinking anyone into an illusion. The two aliens unleashed their astonishing abilities upon Ge Yi, resolutely aiming to kill him.
The celestial soul expert sent countless blades of soul power toward Ge Yi's head. The attacks were formless, piercing through layer upon layer of space in a manner almost impossible to guard against. They also carried a terrifying level of destructive power.
Such an attack was powerful enough to instantly kill any God in existence. As for the phantasma expert, he crafted an incomparably vivid illusion targeting Ge Yi's soul and mind. Not even someone with the divine dao eyes could escape his illusion.
"Human expert, become my slave. If you agree, I will allow you to become the manager of the dominion in the future," offered the celestial soul expert, as though defeating Ge Yi was an easy feat for him.
The phantasma expert said, "If he can escape our control, we can probably start writing our name backward in shame."
The two were respectively known as Hun Lachuan and Huan Kuang, and they were among the strongest of the invaders.
Ge Yi stood still in the midst of nothingness, and his empty eyes suddenly shone brightly. It was as though he could see through a river of stars and end all lives with a mere gaze. The soul and illusory attacks were nothing before his eyes.
Just as the two attacks reached him, his eyes burst with boundless radiance. It was as though a river of stars was erupting from his eyes. The sun and the moon swirled around him, causing the two attacks to instantly fall apart.
Hun Lachuan and Huan Kuang raised their eyebrows as they put more strength into their attacks. However, they failed to withstand the two terrifying beams coming from Ge Yi's eyes. Ultimately, they were forced to dodge aside in a sorry manner.
"Aliens, you shouldn't have provoked the dominion. This is not your place," said Ge Yi. He then lashed out at the two with both his hands.
And that was the sight Xiang Shaoyun was greeted with upon his arrival to the battlefield.
