#283 - The third heaven's opportunity
The boundless desert stretched before their eyes, golden sand covering the ground, and a scorching heat assaulting them.
Even the gloomy clouds in the sky had dissipated, and there was no sign of blood-colored lightning or black mist.
Above the firmament, there was only endless emptiness and darkness.
Such an environment seemed truly eerie and inexplicable.
Su Chen continued forward, piloting the Void Shuttle.
"Hiss!!"
"This is—"
Soon, Qing Ling, Nan Yin, and the others were all greatly shocked, unable to help but gasp, rendered speechless by the scene before them.
In the boundless desert, massive stars were scattered everywhere, each impact having created huge craters in the vast earth!
Most of these stars were already dilapidated, their luster dim, and incomplete.
But there were simply too many of them!
Looking out, there was a dense, vast expanse, numbering in the tens of thousands!
The crowd raised their heads to look at the empty, dark sky, and couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Could it be… that the stars above the firmament had all been intercepted by someone with great divine power?
A scene couldn't help but appear in everyone's minds: a peerless powerhouse standing in the firmament, and with a wave of his hand, countless stars crashed down, covering the sky and earth, forming a world-destroying killing move!
"Could this be the work of the Frost Emperor?"
Chen Lezhang muttered to himself, truly shocked.
Although it was said that Emperor Realm experts could pluck stars and seize the moon.
But generally speaking, Emperor Realm experts could only pluck a few stars at a time, and it was quite strenuous.
Ordinary Emperor Realm experts found it difficult to use plucked stars as weapons; plucking stars was a thankless task.
But the number of stars before them was simply too great, numbering in the tens of thousands, completely sweeping away a piece of the starry sky!
Moreover, these stars were all shattered.
One could imagine how terrifying the battle that had once erupted here was.
Su Chen piloted the Void Shuttle forward, and soon, amidst the stars scattered across the ground, he found his target.
Amidst the surrounding stars, there was a dense cloud of black mist, emanating an astonishing baleful aura.
Within the black mist, there was a dazzling starlight, brilliant and eye-catching, actually able to contend with the black mist.
Even the black mist could not conceal its radiance.
"You all stay here and don't move; I'll be right back."
Su Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked towards the black mist.
"This guy has found another opportunity…"
Chen Lezhang was somewhat envious.
This place was so unique, presumably the opportunity within the black mist was absolutely amazing.
However, envy aside, Chen Lezhang's character was quite upright, and he didn't intend to compete with Su Chen for the opportunity.
This place was discovered by Su Chen, so the opportunity naturally belonged to him.
But other sect forces didn't think so.
Soon.
The martial artists from the sect forces who had been following behind arrived at this place.
When they saw the black mist surrounded by the vast stars, and the brilliant starlight within the black mist, their eyes widened in surprise and joy!
"So many stars have fallen here, and there is a piece of brilliant starlight in the black mist; this must be some kind of opportunity or treasure!"
"Charge, charge, charge!"
The martial artists from all sides of the sect forces couldn't hold back any longer and immediately rushed towards the black mist.
"Stop!"
Chen Lezhang shouted in a deep voice, his voice like thunder, and the powerful pressure of a quasi-Emperor level erupted, sweeping across the heavens and the earth!
"Hiss!!"
"Quasi-Emperor expert??"
The martial artists from the various sect forces were all startled and quickly stopped, their faces revealing a look of fear.
But there was one sect that was an exception.
A cloud ship didn't slow down and still rushed towards the black mist like lightning, not stopping because of Chen Lezhang's words.
"How dare you!"
Chen Lezhang's face darkened; he didn't expect the other party to be so disrespectful.
His eyes suddenly bloomed with white light, and he cast the divine power of the Heavenly Fox Clan; a terrifying soul power spread, constantly interweaving, enveloping the cloud ship.
Clang!!
At this moment, a sharp sword aura erupted from the cloud ship, peerlessly sharp, and actually cut open Chen Lezhang's soul attack, preventing him from fully displaying his divine power.
"Another quasi-Emperor!"
"And there's an expert?"
The other sect forces were even more surprised and became increasingly fearful.
"You say stop, and we stop?"
"Is this your territory?"
On the cloud ship, an old man wearing a purple robe appeared, glancing at Chen Lezhang indifferently.
"He is… the old leader of the Purple Feather Sect!"
"I didn't expect even this kind of expert to appear!"
Some sharp-eyed martial artists from the sect forces saw the badge on the purple-robed old man's clothes and keenly guessed his identity, and were immediately somewhat surprised.
Purple Feather Sect, this was a very powerful and ancient sect, once an Emperor-Lineage Dao Sect!
It was a pity.
In the war thousands of years ago, the Purple Feather Sect's Emperor Realm expert fell, the sect's vitality was greatly damaged, and it could not maintain the title of Emperor-Lineage Dao Sect, and was reduced to a Sacred Ground.
But looking at Qingzhou, the Purple Feather Sect was definitely the strongest Sacred Ground, without exception!
This was because the Purple Feather Sect had quasi-Emperor experts sitting in town, and more than one!
This was something that other Sacred Grounds could not compare with.
Moreover, the Purple Feather Sect was once an Emperor-Lineage Dao Sect, and its foundation was far beyond that of other Sacred Grounds.
With the foundation of the Purple Feather Sect, perhaps a new Emperor Realm expert could soon be born, returning to the ranks of Emperor-Lineage Dao Sects.
This was a powerful existence that all the Sacred Grounds were unwilling to provoke!
Chen Lezhang said: "Everything should be done in order; we discovered this opportunity first, and we are collecting it; Your Excellency should not interfere."
The old leader of the Purple Feather Sect did not argue, but said quite forcefully and domineeringly: "What if this old man insists on interfering? What will you do?"
"Then don't blame me for being impolite!"
Chen Lezhang snorted coldly and slowly grasped the ancient sword at his waist.
"Fight if you want to fight!"
The old leader of the Purple Feather Sect was quite strong, and took a step forward, actively attacking Chen Lezhang!
And the other Purple Feather Sect experts on the cloud ship rushed towards the black mist.
