Chapter 534 - 530: The Core, Winging It!
"What’s your plan?" Wang Yutian’s voice resounded throughout the entire world. Every last living existence on the continent could hear it, causing numerous individuals of all races to search with their already lifted gazes. The apocalyptic scene didn’t cause the world to descend into chaos, but a hopelessness.
Everyone was cultivators, and the world-devastating aura leaking from the numerous cracking fissures that littered the sky only invoked such feelings. There was no way to resist. Death was the only choice.
"Hahaha!" A boisterous laughter resounded alongside Wang Yutian’s voice, filled with excitement and a bit of recklessness. As if loving chaos, the voice playfully responded with: "I’m winging it!"
The voice was familiar to a few individuals. The first to recognize that voice, having heard the playfulness many times before, was Qing Qiumu who was unleashing protective canopies over the children. She was urging her power to protect them, even if it was useless.
"Wei Wuyin?!" She exclaimed, lifting her emerald-colored gaze to see if she could find that figure.
An elven female child next to her tugged her sleeve, "Miss Qing, who’s that?"
Shocked by this abrupt question, Qing Qiumu turned to see the adorable expression of a clueless child before a calamity. The innocence reflected in the little girl’s eyes caused her to feel warmth. She took a knee to lower herself to the girl’s height, "He’s a very good friend of mine. An incredibly awesome cultivator."
The little girl’s eyes lit up, turning to the fractured sky. "Can he stop the sky from doing that?" She asked, turning back to Qing Qiumu with an excited glint. Clearly, she saw the fear in everyone’s eyes and sought hope.
Qing Qiumu felt her heart almost break. She wasn’t certain if Wei Wuyin could do anything, but she replied with a bright smile: "If there’s anyone that can, he could." She hugged the little girl, lifting her up and they watched the sky seemingly about to fall together.
’ Wei Wuyin, what’s happening?
’The other person who immediately noticed this voice was a young man that was on a small island in the Noxious Seas. He wore a black hood that hid his dark, indifferent gaze and face. With a hunched back and bandaged arms, he lifted his gaze with a snarl.
"Wei Wuyin?!"
The next two were Ai Juling and Ai Yin who were situated together, awaiting for Wei Wuyin’s return at the Ai Clan’s Underground Capital in the Desolate Lands. They turned to each other, shocked by the sound of such a voice.
"Winging it?" Wang Yutian’s voice sounded once more. The concept of this eluded him. What did that mean? You destroy the protective layer of the World Realm’s Core with countless pellets and then destroy the World Realm’s Core, and your plan was to wing it? If this wasn’t handled properly, forget about yourself, that’s already a foregone conclusion of death, but the lives of billions were going to follow you.
Zsoom!
Wei Wuyin flapped his Infinite Void Wings, flying through the void like a fish through water, traversing vast distances in the matter of blinks. At the moment, he was trying to find his way back to the Four Extreme Continent.
Who knew that the World Realm’s Core was located in a segregated space that was far, far away from the Four Extreme Continent. After he devastated the World Realm’s Core, Wang Yutian lost his ability to return, and the Elementus Token that allowed free access to the cache simply stopped working altogether.
He was stuck.
Without any other choice, he had to breach the space through Spatial Shift. Yet this did little good as he found himself outside of the Four Extreme Continent. Outside the World Realm’s independent space. He had returned to his own starfield!!!
Cursing inwardly, he had to use his Infinite Void Wings Void Traversal abilities to travel back, but he had never tried to do something like this before. He didn’t realize that his actions had opened a connective tunnel that caused his words to echo throughout the world. As for Wang Yutian? He stayed with him.
Supposedly, the Chandelier, something he had stolen just short of Spatial Shifting away, contained a trace of his will and power. He could communicate through that, but the voice was like an audio device and sent the old ghost’s voice throughout the world as well.
The only benefit was that re-entering the starfield allowed him to send a message.
Zsoom!
POP!!
A man-sized black spherical orb appeared directly above the Desolate Lands. With a boom, it expanded from its original size to roughly two hundred meters in circumference. Then, a figure clad in grey-colored hexagonal scales and silver eyes exited the sphere, accompanied by his two eighty-one meters long wings.
With a twist of his draconic body, Wei Wuyin didn’t halt his swift speed but shot downwards in an explosive descent. With a crashing slam, he impacted the grey sand and hard earth with his legs. The entire Desolate Lands quaked, sending panic to all the underground cities below.
Boom!
He didn’t hesitate as he turned his two claw-like hands into spears, thrusting them into the ground with a vicious light in his eyes. He ignored the continuous cracks and annihilation-like aura emanating from the fissures above.
Wang Yutian commented, "Fortunately the distance between the World Realm’s Core and the landmass is extremely segregated by several folds of space. If not, it wouldn’t last longer than a few seconds. The power from the explosion would’ve swept this landmass. Not even a speck of dust would remain."
Wei Wuyin ignored Wang Yutian’s commentary, his silver eyes were glowing as bright as two silver suns and his void wings expelled endless silvery light from every scale. The wings unfurled to their utter limits!
"Are you sure you should be here? You have roughly 12 seconds before the force reaches here." Wang Yutian estimated. He had no fear of Wei Wuyin dying after learning that he could leave at will. There were very few cultivators that could Spatial Shift. To add, his ability to do so was beyond even Ascended. His unique body and bloodline allowed him to shift through the folds of space with absolutely no resistance or risk of being drawn into spatial storms.
Even a Mystic Realm Cultivator at the First Stage would find this impossible. They couldn’t even Spatial Shift to begin with, and using Spatial Force was not even close to allowing such means.
Wei Wuyin’s arms dug into the earth until almost his entire arms were submerged, leaving a small fraction left. His forehead was almost touching the grey sand, and his knees were causing endless cracks to appear beneath him. At the sides of his arms, the scaled arms couldn’t hide the pulsating veins carrying ferocious True Dragon blood.
Wei Wuyin viciously roared, "I told you!"
The entire world trembled as the annihilation power from the World Realm’s Core neared. It was only a few seconds ahead. At this point, the perpetual Solar Star that once hung above the sky had winked out of existence, but the light hadn’t faded! The leaking power provided a source of extremely bright light!!
The delay was only just noticed by everyone who was so far away. The fear in their eyes only increased. Was this the moment of their deaths? The end of it all?
At this point, Wei Wuyin’s neck was filled with pulsating veins. His legs dug deep into the ground.
WOOSH!
Wei Wuyin’s wings closed, flapping once before reaching their maximum unfurled length once more. The action seemed to trigger something within his bloodline!
"ARGH!" Wei Wuyin shouted with gritted teeth. With a forced smile, silver eyes that were bloodshot, and a grunt, he screamed: "I’M WINGING IT!"
The eighty-one meter wings exploded into bright, silver light, instantly enlarging tens of thousands of times their size!!!
In the blink of an eye, the void wings covered the entire continent! Then, they moved!
Wang Yutian was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. "I get it now! I get it now!"
But Wei Wuyin had no time to indulge in his joke with time constraints at hand. With his thirty-two centimeter-sized World Sea, all four of them, he linked them together as the three fueled his Draconic Void Core!
Void Force surged out endlessly from his Void Wings, pouring the entire continent, drenching every individual, every speck of air particle, every iota of mass in its power!
"MOVE! MOVE! FUCKING MOVE!"
The enlarged wings slowly prepared to flap downwards.
Their sheer sizes made it extremely difficult to control!
BOOOOOOOOM!! SHATTER!!!
The final explosion took place, the pieces of the artificial sky finally shattered as the power reached it. The sky, at this moment, was literally falling. But alongside it, the world-ending power surged through like a catastrophic flood of biblical proportions. Their first target?
Wei Wuyin’s Void Wings!
