Chapter 834 834: Have Him Bathe and Burn Incense, Await My Arrival with a Ritual Welcoming!
Mars has been destroyed; such a significant disturbance would naturally not be known solely by Beijing's Purple Gold Mountain Observatory.
At the same moment, nearly every country worldwide that has observations of the Solar System received the news. Even ordinary people could see the dazzling light in the sky, incredibly bright.
Global shock!
An unknown flying object tens of thousands of times larger than Mars broke into the Solar System, crashing into Mars without warning and shattering it!!
For the countries on Earth, this is akin to a bolt from the blue, leaving the leaders of the great nations completely dumbfounded, not knowing what to do at all.
Not only secular countries were shocked, but the Martial Dao world was also extremely astonished.
Martial Artists at the Saint level have extremely powerful spiritual senses. With Mars suddenly shattered, their perception is even sharper than that of many astronomical observatories, especially the Saints of the Encompass Starry Pavilion, who felt as if their heads would split from the shock, descending into madness!
Mars is too close to Earth; in the meaning of cultivation, it is the ancient star Yinghuo. The Star Power it emits also belongs to a kind of Heavenly Essence. Many Martial Artists of the Encompass Starry Pavilion absorb the Star Power emitted by Mars for cultivation.
This sudden event has severely damaged their Yuan Qi!
...
Jade Pool at Tianshan.
Amid the icy snow, Lu Ziyi's white robes surpass the snow, cold and noble, like a goddess and celestial maiden untouched by earthly dust.
However, at this moment, she was staring at the sky in shock, looking at the indescribable dazzling brilliance, and murmured, "How can it be? Mars shattered, or is my perception wrong? It's impossible, in this era, who has the ability to destroy a star?"
Although Mars is only less than half the size of Earth, it is, after all, a legitimate planet and intricately linked with the real star Yinghuo, quite mystical. To shatter such a planet, at least a Saint King peak strong person is needed!
Yet, in this era, there aren't even any strong people at the Great Saint level, so how could suddenly a Saint King appear?
What on earth is happening?
"Ziyi, come to the Golden Emperor Hall!"
A gentle yet commanding female voice sounded directly beside Lu Ziyi's ear, the voice belonging to the Sect Master of the Jade Pool Holy Sect and Lu Ziyi's master.
"Yes, Master!" Lu Ziyi nodded, her expression solemn as she headed toward the Golden Emperor Hall.
...
Sun Temple.
In the midst of blazing golden sun flames, suddenly a tremor was felt, flames spreading out, nearly burning holes in the void. The Palace Master of the Sun Temple, manifesting the image of a Three-legged Golden Crow, was comprehending the mysteries of the Great Saint Realm when suddenly he felt a collapse of Star Power above the void. Mars had been destroyed, which immediately shocked his mind, causing the Sun God's Fire, not yet mastered, to scatter slightly.
"How can it be, the Mars projected and manifested by Yinghuo star has been shattered? Moreover, this aura, the fluctuation caused by this power, how come it somewhat resembles... Wasn't Wu Yi colluding with Zhu Jie back then to drive them out of the eighteen thousand great realms?"
"Is the Xuan Bird God Clan returning?!"
...
Boundless Vajra Sect.
The Sect Master Watanabe, in a yellow monk's robe with a Ritual Blade at his waist, showed no hint of aggression, more of compassion and peace. In contrast to the sharpness shown when he battled Qin Heng before, Watanabe clearly restrained himself, appearing more composed now.
After that battle, although the Boundless Vajra Sect was defeated and even had to submit to Qin Heng for five hundred years, Watanabe himself gained invaluable insights from that battle. Just by recalling the trajectory and flavor of Qin Heng's moves, he successfully perfected his domain of phenomena, truly stepping into the Saint level.
Hence, Watanabe's feelings towards Qin Heng are quite complex. Qin Heng, who defeated the Boundless Vajra Sect, forced submission, and ruined the sect's reputation, is also the benefactor who guided him to truly step into the Saint level.
Too conflicted!
But at this moment, Watanabe had no mind to dwell on these matters.
On the back mountain of Boundless Vajra Sect, Watanabe's expression was incredibly serious, one hand resting on the Ritual Blade, looking at the sky with eyes full of shock, simultaneously filled with vigilance. The dazzling light signified the destruction of Mars.
Martial artists of the Buddha Gate generally focus on spiritual cultivation, and as the Sect Master of Boundless Vajra Sect, Watanabe is no exception. Hence, his spiritual sense is much stronger compared to other martial artists newly entering the Saint level, so he can clearly feel how Mars was destroyed.
He could even envision the specific situation of Mars's destruction in his sea of consciousness.
But precisely because of this, Watanabe was deeply frightened.
"My heavens, isn't this thing recorded in the sect's classics as the Black Yao God Armor Boat?" Watanabe looked pale, his face full of disbelief, "This is a large weapon used by the Xuan Bird God Clan to conquer the starry sky, at least having the power of a Saint King peak, no wonder it could shatter the Mars projected and manifested by Yinghuo star.
But the Xuan Bird God Clan had already left the eighteen thousand great realms, reportedly permanently banished to the distant cosmic void, never to return. Why suddenly does the Black Yao God Armor Boat of the Xuan Bird God Clan invade the Solar System, and so brazenly shatter Mars!?
Something major seems to be happening, I must inform Mr. Qin..."
...
Beijing, Forbidden City.
At the Myth Organization headquarters, the West Emperor was not present, leaving only the Prince East to lead the situation.
Nine Heavens Profound Maiden and Heavenly Venerable of Thunder Sound Universal Nirvana were there; both had stepped into the Saint level, truly becoming one of the leaders of the Myth Organization. They were now facing large screens showing the detection data and images sent earlier by Purple Gold Mountain Observatory.
"The Black Yao God Armor Boat of the Xuan Bird God Clan shattered Mars, and it seems aggressive." Nine Heavens Profound Maiden, Xue Qinan, lightly furrowed her brows, saying, "However, three thousand years ago, Wu Yi secretly collaborated with powerhouses from various realms, attacked the Divine Realm, attempting to sever the connection between the Yin Shang bloodline and the Xuan Bird God Clan.
That battle affected multitude of realms, even some heavenly beings intervened. In the end, the Divine Emperor of the Xuan Bird God Clan was besieged by many Saint Emperors of Yin Shang, leaving few Deities, and the entire clan was exiled to the cosmic void several billion light-years away, supposedly never to return."
"The universe is vast, now the Central Heavenly Domain is silent, yet the cosmic starry sky might still offer encounters." Heavenly Venerable of Thunder Sound Universal Nirvana said in a deep voice, "Based on the current situation, this Black Yao God Armor Boat of the Xuan Bird God Clan is obviously heading for Earth, we must be ready."
Prince East was slightly silent, after a long pause, said, "Profound Maiden, you go find Qin Xuantian, I earlier calculated an omen, unless he takes action, we are doomed."
...
In the Secret Realm of Time-Space Seal, during the era of Yin Shang Wu Yi.
In Guanghan Palace, Qin Heng had initially completed the restoration of the Flowing Moon Sword, and understood the conditions of this era. At this time, Shao Ying suddenly came running to him.
This girl had already left the Dark Moon Organization and returned to Guanghan Palace as the direct disciple of the Palace Master.
"Mr. Qin, something's wrong." Shao Ying came running hurriedly, her face flushed, looking somewhat panicked, clearly with Semi-Saint level cultivation, yet panting heavily when she reached Qin Heng, saying, "Wu Yi has arrived! King of Shang Wu Yi has come to see you!"
She instinctively feared Wu Yi, even forgetting that it was Qin Heng who had Wu Yi come to look for him.
"Wu Yi wants to see me, there's no problem," Qin Heng smiled faintly, "You instruct him to bathe, burn incense, and with the ritual of worship, welcome me for three hours, then I shall descend and meet him."
