Tower of Heaven

BOOOOOOOOOM!

A battle of Immortals really reached a stage that couldn’t be imagined. When Atlas was technically only two realms away from that benchmark, it was hard to imagine that there would be a massive difference in power, but that was a naive train of thought.

The concept of Heavenly Tribulation was something that would appear after the Law Sea Realm. To form the Realm Heart and solidify the World Core, one had to prove to the Heavens multiple times that one was worthy.

However, the tribulation that stood between the World Core Realm and the very first stage of Immortal Cultivation was an unbelievable thing that killed a sweeping majority of those who attempted it.

And, once a cultivator completed that tribulation, they would find that their world of struggle only began. Moving through stages as an Immortal wasn’t anywhere near as simple as it was in the Mortal Realms, which meant that every single Great Realm breakthrough granted unsurmountable power.

The Elders of the Feng Clan were by no means at the lower end of the Immortal spectrum. The enemies they faced were the same.

When Atlas and Feng Ziran used their full power against the full power of the Kitsune, an entire city and its relative surroundings were destroyed.

On the other hand, after almost an hour of battle from these Immortals…

Well, Atlas was lucky that he was on the complete opposite side of the world.

A quarter of the entirety of Alfros had been burned to shreds and turned into a wasteland. One would believe that the volcanic rock that was the ground in most of the realm couldn’t be easily destroyed, but that wasn’t the case anymore.

There was a crater that big. If one stood on one side, the other side would be far over the horizon. In the middle of this crater was where the battle took place. Anything that was there, including any evidence of who the perpetrators were, had already been destroyed.

Though it was unfortunate, the battle also couldn’t be witnessed by the eyes of just anyone. If an ordinary person got within a few tens of kilometers of the crater, they would be incinerated instantly.

Luckily, nobody fighting had bad eyes.

BOOOOOOOOOM!

A huge burst of flames spread for several hundred kilometers before stopping. It wasn’t an attack, but merely the byproduct of two sides clashing.

There were currently six Feng Clan Elders on the battlefield facing six enemies who stood equal to them. Of them, only two were familiar.

Elder Siyu gritted her teeth. When they received news about what was happening, they already expected it to be like this. They knew that their enemies wouldn’t be just any random people. These people were motivated by a clear thirst for destruction.

But why did they want destruction?

The Elders hoped to learn this before they contacted the enemy, but they didn’t have the chance. Immediately when they arrived in the general area, everything went wrong. A massive explosion consumed thousands of kilometers, trapping them in a formation dome with a very simple function.

The dome would not be released until one side died. The moment the formation was enacted, the Elders lost their chance to search for answers or clues.

Ever since then, they had been fighting and trying their best to learn through battle.

’However, we can only learn so much.’

Their enemies weren’t wearing clothing specific to any specific region of the Tower. They naturally didn’t have any signage on them indicating what Society they worked for. Their qi was mysterious and contained traces of things that they didn’t dare to understand, but because of those same traces, their qi was too volatile to be unrecognizable.

It was preposterous for such cultivators to appear out of nowhere and create a calamity like this.

’To have the resources to create such a large-scale phenomenon

The Feng Clan alone wasn’t enough. Perhaps if two or three of Divine Sanctuary’s ruling clans came together, it would be possible, but that was already the level of strength of a Great Society.

’They are undoubtedly backed by one of the other four.’

If they weren’t, their strength couldn’t be explained.

’If they are truly using the resources of a Great Society for this kind of destruction

Feng Siyu had her own conclusions. It couldn’t be the work of the Den of Mysteries. They were cheeky in denying their involvement in anything their researchers did, but their researchers were also very open about their identities and allegiances.

They bragged because they knew they couldn’t get in trouble. This kind of secretive behavior of hiding everything and threatening death didn’t suit them.

Still, the problem only became more concerning if she was correct.

’As Ars Goetia is being watched closely for their past actions, they have not been scheming anything severe in some time. If it truly is the work of one of the other two

Heaven’s Gate and the Nihility Council. If either side was backing these people, this attack was guaranteed to be part of a much greater scheme.

’Tch.’

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

That twisted and dark qi appeared around her again, forcing Feng Siyu out of her thoughts. The next scene was quite literally a blur.

Massive waves of flame and dark bursts of energy filled the space, joining five other such scenes in the crater. Feng Siyu and the man she was facing both turned into blurs in the sky. They exchanged hundreds of moves with every passing second, causing great damage to their surroundings.

Feng Siyu gritted her teeth as the enemy’s corrosive energy tried to invade her body, but she didn’t lose focus. The battles being fought here were nearing their ends.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Her opponent was the one who re-engaged her first, but she was the one controlling the momentum. Feng Siyu was an Elder of the Feng Clan for a reason, after all.

She was a Phoenix that all other Phoenixes looked up to. She was someone who had rescued and raised many of the young Phoenixes in the Feng Clan.

She didn’t get this position just because she was a kind person. She also had the strength to defend it.

Her opponent was coughing out blood with half of his body turned to a burnt husk. He was holding his arm, trying to stick it back to his stump of a shoulder before it was too late to heal.

Feng Siyu couldn’t say that she was uninjured, but she at least didn’t need to hold her body together.

’This corrosion, however, will take some time to deal with.’

Perhaps that was part of their plan as well. The barrier they set up almost completely guaranteed their deaths, considering their opponents. Was their only goal to destroy evidence and inject foreign qi into the bodies of essential members of the Phoenix Clan?

Feng Siyu put everything aside once more. She could discuss these more crucial matters with her fellow Elders once Alfros was stable.

Right now, not only did they need to defeat the cultivators in front of them, but they also needed to find and destroy the source of the meteor shower.

Now wasn’t anything like the time for aimless pondering.

Feng Siyu raised her hands above her head. A glowing red Phoenix feather mark appeared on her forehead as she called all of the qi in the world to follow her call. Continue your saga on empire

It was an attack whose name was both simple and grandiose at the same time, leaving one to question if it was simple or complex. However, seeing how the world’s qi responded to her call, even the most uneducated observer could make the same conclusion.

Whatever attack she was planning to use, it was going to cause catastrophe.

And catastrophe it caused just moments later when she released it into the world.
