Rumble…A rumble occurred from the huge whirlpool.
Within the whirlpool, the sealed star was revolving and floating up slower and slower, almost like it was being stopped by something.
"So many sealed stars!"
"There's got to be thousands of them."
"Wow!"
Shocked voices.
Around the huge whirlpool, revolving sealed stars were floating about. Every one of them with diameters of 9,000 km to 90,000 km. With one glance, there were thousands of them all moving gradually within, they were all revolving about the center of the whirlpool. The one sealed star that had floated out was the most glaring of the group…this scene immediately made the over 100,000 undyings there go crazy.
"Many of them already cannot wait." Luo Feng glanced.
"Yang."
Tian Chen called out to him beside, "Do you want the sealed star, don't tell me you don't want it."
Luo Feng glanced at him beside and smiled. "Who would come risk their life if they didn't want it? However, our chances of getting it are very low. There are over 100,000 undyings here, of which there's Nan Chen, Black Tomb, Da Long etc, a total of nine terrifying beings…"
"They are strong, but there are over 100,000 undyings here. Their individual strengths have been diminished, who would dare go against a group? Even the knights, if hit by a combined attack of over 100,000 emperors would die from the attack!" Tian Chen said, "I've already contacted the emperor limits, forming an alliance with about 1,000 allies around. We'll attack together and get the treasure."
"Over 1,000 allies forming an alliance?" Luo Feng was shocked.
"Hm." Tian Chen said. "I've already sent a request via the virtual universe system to have a meeting, allowing all those with access to enter."
This temporary meeting room, whether it was in the outer region wars or secret regions, undyings could frequently set them up under dire circumstances. The moment the request was approved, undyings invited could immediately enter and they could make quick decisions…naturally the cost wasn't small.
However it wasn't much to an emperor.
"I've sent mass mail out to remind them, we have to hurry and make a move to have a chance." Tian Chen said.
"Attention, I am Tian Chen emperor and I've sent out mail to you all. After reading it, please immediately head to the meeting room." Tian Chen communicated, making over 1,000 undying allies in the human camp exchange glances, all sending their consciousness into the virtual universe to check their mails.
…
Virtual universe, within a special space, there were many islands there with several others floating in the sky. Every island had a magnificent meeting room. Anyone who requested to use these rooms could use them at any time.
Within the room, there was a huge round table, there were stone carved thrones about, a total of 1,000 of them.
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
Silhouettes appeared around on the thrones, as the number of warriors grew. Luo Feng and Tian Chen appeared on thrones too. Within ten seconds, the 1,000 thrones were filled, almost all of them emperors.
"Attention all."
Tian Chen spoke, "According to the rules from before about the sealed star falling, from the time it appears to the time it falls, it has to slowly break through the barriers about it to finally fall. This would take quite some time. We still have time to plan now! However, the fight for the sealed star has attracted many warriors about, even Black tomb and Da Long and others have appeared…if we don't team up, we have no hope at all!"
"Right, we all came here not to watch them get the treasure." An undying with powerful energy covered in heavy armor said.
"There are a huge number of warriors. The moment the star falls, it'll be an all out war. A team that is too big will be hard to control, 1,000 undyings is just nice." Tian Chen continued. "We may not be a match for Black Tomb if we are alone, but with 1,000 of us, with almost all at emperor level, we won't have to worry too much. Also, there are eleven emperor limits and eight pinnacle emperor's proficient in soul attacks.
Luo Feng was shocked.
The percentage was really high. Among normal emperors…it was hard for even one out of hundred to hit emperor limit level! The main thing was that many of the weaker warriors had left early, leaving only the strong. Hence, the percentage was so high.
"There are over 1,000 emperors!"
"With our forces combined, even Da Long or Black Tomb wouldn't dare pick a fight with us alone." Tian Chen said, "With 1,000 of us…we have a chance."
"Tian Chen, who will the sealed star go to?" A distant other race undying immediately shouted.
"Very simple, when it first begins, we will combine forces." He smiled, "As to who gets the sealed star, that'll depend on luck. Whoever gets it…our alliance will automatically disband then! At least we are all allies in the army system, and we cannot kill each other. As for the one that gets the sealed star, he'll have to depend on his own fleeing ability. To expect others to help him after getting the treasure, even if I say it, I doubt anybody will do it."
"Haha…"
"Cackle…"
All sorts of laughter came from the group of undyings, they resounded throughout the meeting room.
"As to the plan, there's no need. When I send out the message, we will all help each other out later. I believe no emperor is that stupid!" Tian Chen said. "When we combine forces later, we only have one goal…when the sealed star falls, we will all get as close as possible. Whoever gets it will be up to luck and skill."
"Does everybody agree with my suggestion?" He looked around. "If there are any objection, please speak up."
The entire room was silent, no one said anything.
To be able to reach emperor level, they would all naturally be clear about the plan. Such an alliance…had to be naturally formed against beings like Da Long and Nan Cheng. Afterall, with over 100,000 emperors here, no one was here to play around, every body had ambition.
"Very good!" Tian Chen smiled.
"Our alliance is formed." A distant human warrior smiled too. It was a pinnacle emperor Cang Qi emperor. Normally, such alliances had humans as the core.
"We'll work together, as to who gets the sealed star and whether he can keep it, it'll depend on his own skill."
"Good!"
"Howl!"
"Battle!"
All sorts of noises were heard. Even other race languages could be heard, it was obvious the group was excited and filled with anticipation.
Actually, there was hope to flee with the sealed star. Like if Luo Feng or some others got it, he could immediately flee into their group of allies. While they may not be too happy about it, they wouldn't dare betray him. And the other enemies would have no way to do combined attacks either. If they did, it would hit the other human warriors and they would naturally block it together.
In such a mess, having allies as shields definitely gave one the hope of surviving.
Of course…
The chances of falling was much higher!
However for the sealed star, the undyings here were all willing to take the gamble!
*******
Luo Feng stood in mid air and looked around, clearly seeing the many undyings floating above the peaks, naturally forming their own groups and moving. It was obvious that they were secretly forming their alliances. Many of the warriors here didn't have the strength to match up to Da Long or Black Tomb or Seven Blade…however no one was willing to simply let them get away with it!
Even Luo Feng…
Even though he was on alert about everything within star tower, he too wanted to try and get the sealed star.
"Yang, Can Yu emperor." Tian Chen said, "We nine are all humans, we'll definitely be more united."
"Hm." Luo Feng nodded.
"But of course." A distant short white haired man with a white beard said.
Tian Chen, Luo Feng and Can Yu were the strongest of the nine humans.
What followed them were the pinnacle emperors and high emperors. The nine humans didn't have any low emperors or officials.
"It's a pity that Seven Blade won't help us." Cang Qi communicated, "If he joins us…we…"
"We would become cannon fodder!" Tian Chen roared. "Do you know how strong he is, and with his high position? Haven't you realized that there are many warriors that he's already bought over beside him? He is the disciple of a universe master, his wealth must be insane, buying these warriors over. These warriors know their chances of getting the sealed star are very low. But, to get some benefit and make allies with Seven Blade, there are many would be willing."
"If it was me, I'd be willing too." Cang Qi muttered.
"You punk." Tian Chen couldn't even force a smile.
"Stop messing about, look below." Can Yu shouted.
Luo Feng and the group of nine humans all looked down. That sealed star within the whirlpool was floating upwards…however it fought hard against a formless pressure. As it floated, Luo Feng could visibly see ripples, countless ripples holding the star back.
Whether it was that sealed star that was about to fall or the other thousands revolving about, they were all held back by the same ripples.
"That's the energy of star tower, it holds back the countless sealed stars!"
"We cannot get close." Tian Chen said softly. "If we forcefully pierce through that barrier, we will definitely fall. No warrior here has the guts to do that, and they are all waiting for the sealed star to fall itself, everybody is being careful. When the star breaks through later, even though the barrier will be broken and there'll be no energy holding back the thousands of stars, we'll be able to actually fly to the countless stars. However, don't ever do that, unless a star falls on its own, even a universe master is unable to forcefully take it away, the result of such greed is only one…death!"
Minutes and seconds passed as the sealed star rushing upwards got stronger and stronger.
Weng weng weng…that formless pressure around created a ripple that was visible to all.
Almost like a soap bubble, above a sewing needle, no matter how solid and sturdy the bubble was…as long as the needle reached the bubble, it would pop.
…
Time passed and the blur of warriors all looked down, all patiently waiting.
Rumble…an explosion shook the space about.
Xiu!
The sealed star that was rushing upwards immediately shot up, becoming a glaring light and rushing into the sky.
The sealed star…had emerged!
