Capítulo 2350: Chapter 185: Hocoming
Outside the Cloud Sky Realm, neither near nor far.
In the deep void, faint glimrs of Domains were visible, sparse as morning stars.
The Chaos Origin Substance, appearing and disappearing like a thin mist, spread through the vision, obscuring the collision of distant lights and concealing the cultivators hiding here.
Yet at this mont, these indistinct shadows all bore expressions of extre gravity, the atmosphere growing even heavier to the point of stagnation.
“The latest news… the Cloud Sky Realm, has been defeated!”
“Over there at the Supre True Buddha’s lair, the Xiahou Demon was defeated and killed on the spot, True Man Gai and the Master of Quiet Cave who went to support, both fled in defeat…”
“On our side of the Cloud Sky Realm, Heavenly Monarch Chao has also fallen… We must make a decision!”
The speaker’s voice carried with it an irrepressible shock, suppression, and disbelief.
All around fell silent.
After a brief silence, soone muttered angrily in a low voice:
“What decisions can be made?”
“The Cloud Sky Realm arranged such a grand sche this ti, thinking even if they couldn’t annihilate the Supre True Buddha’s people completely, they could at least drive them away. But the outco, the outco is like this!”
“Three Mahayana masters, two dead, one escaped!”
“Relying only on us scattered soldiers, can we possibly defy fate?”
Upon hearing these words, the many shadows gazed towards the end of the sight line at the colliding lights, all remaining silent in their hearts.
Even those cultivators who initially did not support this, at this mont felt incredibly heavy-hearted.
The principle of ‘lips gone, teeth cold,’ everyone understands. Despite considering their own factions’ interests, they held back this ti, yet deep down, they hoped the Cloud Sky Realm could eliminate the Supre True Buddha.
Even if not eliminated, at least drive the Supre True Buddha back.
However, this simplest wish ultimately could not be realized.
“The Cloud Sky Realm has failed, our good days are probably at an end… Once the Supre True Buddha finishes here, he’ll conquer the Eastern Luli Buddha Realm, then around Duanhai Cliff, no forces can oppose him. Next, it’ll be us at Zhang’s Ruins… Zhang’s Ruins cannot remain.”
A crowd of shadows felt deep concern, soone shook their head and said:
“Zhang’s Ruins can’t stay, but where can we go?”
“Though the Realm Sea is vast, it seems we have countless choices, but actually, we have no choices!”
At this mont, soone spoke up:
“Why not unite and push Zhang’s Ruins into uninhabited territory?”
But this solution was imdiately refuted by others:
“Uninhabited places are easy to find, but what about the Chaos Origin Substance?”
“Without Chaos Origin Substance, Zhang’s Ruins would be a Dead Land, and in the Realm Sea, any place abundant in Chaos Origin Substance is already claid. Must we burn, kill, and loot our way?”
Hearing this, many had been previously tempted, but now fell silent again.
The abundance of Chaos Origin Substance implies its ruler is a formidable entity, and to so cultivators, pillaging would not be ntally burdenso, but this path surely leads to powerful adversaries, with little chance of victory.
Not to ntion the chaotic factions within Zhang’s Ruins, discord abounds, and unity is absent. Facing a formidable enemy, these associates might not be reliable and could betray one ruthlessly.
Soone stubbornly said:
“I’ve heard that in the direction opposite Duanhai Cliff, at the end of the Realm Sea, there the Chaos Origin Substance is even more abundant than around Duanhai Cliff and the four Great Realms…”
Before finishing, they were directly interrupted:
“Heh, then your information is not comprehensive. The end of the Realm Sea is called ‘Jicang Abyss,’ which is the junction of the Third Realm Sea and Second Realm Sea. Crossing this abyss, it is said, lies the Second Realm Sea.”
“The Chaos Origin Substance there is indeed abundant, likely unmatched in the entire Realm Sea, but it is inhabited by top-tier Innate Divine Demons, ancient Demonic Beasts, and reportedly Immortal Remains. To seize Chaos Origin Substance from such fearso creatures, we may as well think about defeating the Supre True Buddha!”
Upon hearing this, the surrounding cultivators fell silent again.
Yet all felt a sense of helplessness.
It was an overwhelming powerlessness, watching oneself sinking into a mire, heading towards death with no ans of resistance.
Clearly, the number of Crossing Tribulation cultivators in Zhang’s Ruins far exceeds any single Great Realm, and if they could unite, even if unable to compare to a Great Realm like the Cloud Sky Realm, they could certainly influence part of the Realm Sea’s situation, gleaning substantial benefits.
Yet they were constrained by mutual checks and balances, consud by conflicts, unable to extricate themselves. Anyone trying to climb out of this mire would be pulled back by countless hands reaching from the muck.
Until a sigh broke the eerie silence:
“The Cloud Sky Realm has been defeated, the situation is settled. We have no advantage staying here; let’s return to Zhang’s Ruins and deliberate long term.”
“Good.”
“Let’s go back.”
“Deliberate long term.”
The crowd echoed in agreent. Despite so feeling unwilling, the words transford into a helpless sigh.
With the Cloud Sky Realm’s defeat, they indeed had no reason to remain here. Returning to Zhang’s Ruins earlier might yield another ans.
Imdiately, the cultivators ceased to linger, flicking their sleeves, all flying in the direction of Zhang’s Ruins…
The Ancestor of the Yin Family, Yin Tianzhi turned his gaze to the end of his sight.
There, the dense Chaos Origin Substance subtly enveloped two Domains.
One white, one black.
Outside the white Domain, a vague humanoid silhouette was visible, colliding with it.
