Imperial God Emperor

Chapter 619, Spectacle

In the vortex formed by the yuan qi sea, there were more and more yuan qi-formed sea water flowing back towards the feet of the yuan qi giant, and gradually condensing at the foot of the giant.

Thousands of meters high, the seawater at the foot of the yuan qi giant was as though it was solidified. The waves unceasingly continued to gather there, like it had instantly frozen into ice crystals.

As more and more waves converged at the foot of the yuan qi giant, the ice crystal-like yuan qi, at a speed visible to the naked eye, were constantly spreading around the two sides of the yuan qi giant, forming a one-hundred-meter-wide, one-thousand-meter-long crystal platform steps.

Ye Qingyu issued the command for the yuan qi giant to step its right foot onto the platform steps.

The yuan qi giant slowly lifted his right foot, steadily stepping onto the embryonic platform steps.

At that moment.

In the outside of Ye Qingyu's dantian world there was a momentary stillness.

The yuan qi sea was as though it had been frozen. The sea ceased to tumble, and the waves stayed still in the sky. After a moment, the sea resumed its flow, and the monstrous waves continued lifting into the sky.

"Immortal Step."

Ye Qingyu stared dazedly at the platform steps formed by the yuan qi waves at the giant's feet, inexplicable thoughts emerging in his mind.

He knew that when the other foot of the giant also steps onto the platform, he really would be stepping into the Immortal Step boundary, the first level of the Immortal Step boundary!

As long as he continues to practice, the first level of steps will form into a second, and then a third level, up to the ninth level!

Only when his yuan qi cultivation reaches to a certain extent will it form the next step.

The yuan qi giant in the yuan qi sea will climb the platform steps one by one, until the day he reaches onto the ninth step. At that time, he will be able to become a legendary nine-level Immortal Step boundary expert!

And now, his yuan qi true-self doppelganger was already in the embryonic stage and the first level of the Immortal Step had appeared. Everything was developing in the direction he wanted it to develop, but he did not anticipate that this day would come so suddenly.

He suppressed the joy in his heart and his mind, and continued to refine the spiritual qi within the [Blood Drinker Sword].

More seawater in the yuan qi sea formed pillars of water in the vortex, pouring into the platform step above.

The platform step gradually condensed and solidified.

The contours were gradually becoming clear, like an ice sculpture.

On the platform step there was a faint, strange pattern which, upon a closer look, was as though there was a hint of purple, a pure chill spreading out from the platform step.

Ye Qingyu carefully observed the immortal step in the sky, when he suddenly exclaimed, "It seems that my power of thunder and lightning had integrated into my yuan qi, and is also appearing on the immortal step. The ice yuan qi also seemed to be progressing."

As time went on, the other foot of the mighty giant slowly lifted up, stepping towards the platform steps.

……

……

In the skies of Flowing Light City.

Strange great changes suddenly appeared.

The clouds in the sky, as though drawn by strange forces, were violently and swiftly converging over of Flowing Light City like mountain beasts.

The wind also changed. The originally leisurely breeze suddenly began to rise, howling like a spiritual beast, as it surged in an orderly manner towards one particular direction.

The first to notice this strangeness were the ones sitting in the south building discussing the next step of the plan to defend the city - Hu Bugui, Chen Zhengliang, Ling Xiaoran and the others.

The several people had almost at the same time felt the turbulent tides of yuan qi in the city.

It was as though a basin of boiling water was slowing being poured down over Flowing Light City, the steam and mist hanging in the air were tumbling like water-formed yuan qi rolling across.

This sudden surge of yuan qi was like a tremendous pulling force, absorbing the spiritual qi of all living things towards one direction.

The several people's eyes flashed a look of astonishment, exchanging glances with one another, understanding the situation, then slightly nodded to each other, before they turned around and disappeared where they stood.

The next moment, they all reappeared in the air above the south building.

And the experts who were scattered throughout the city at this moment were suddenly stiffened with fear, a horrified look on their faces, with both suspicion and shock in their mind, as they all simultaneously looked to that direction.

The yuan qi tidal waves, which had converged from all sides, twisted and rotated the clouds, and a giant cloud vortex suddenly emerged above Flowing Light City.

In the skies of Flowing Light City there began to appear an earth-shaking spectacle.

In the blink of the eye, the entire Flowing Light City was as though it was enveloped by a tremendous upside down dome, and what covered the sky was a thick fog-like yuan qi vortex.

On the streets.

"What's going on?"

"Are demons invading?"

"No, it seems like a spectacle within the city."

"Could it be that senior Tianhang has finished his training?"

"Haha, has senior Tianhang made a breakthrough to an even higher stage!"

More and more onlookers rushed out, standing on the streets looking at one direction while looking at each other to inquire about what happened. Their eyes flickering with a glimmer of anticipation and excitement.

"Over there!"

Suddenly someone screamed in the crowd, and almost at the same time, everyone looked over at the center of the vortex.

The center of the vortex was like a huge waterfall pouring down, and the place that the waterfall gushed towards was precisely the peak of the stone tower that Ye Qingyu was training at.

In the air.

"This spectacle..."

The scene fixed in the eyes of Chen Zhengliang was the giant tornado-like mist moving towards the top of the stone tower.

Like hundreds of rivers coming together, the yuan qi and spiritual qi were like the streams of a waterfall coming from the vast expanse of sea, and the stone tower was like a whale madly inhaling all the qi of Heaven and earth.

As though he had suffered the greatest shock, Chen Zhengliang felt that his heart was being suppressed by some sort of heavy object, there was a tight feeling in his throat.

"In the past, there are a lot of human experts in Flowing Light City that had made a breakthrough, and I remember one hundred years ago there was an elder in Flowing Light City who had broken through the Immortal Step boundary... But compared to today, with such earth-shattering imposing manner, that even the law of Heaven and earth is impacted, it really is unheard of, unseen..."

The others all nodded silently, their gaze fixed firmly at the source of the changes——

Stone tower.

"Look! In the middle of the mist..." Ling Xiaoran's eye flashed a very shocked expression.

The crowd immediately followed the direction of his finger.

Above the Stone tower.

Like a rapidly spinning tornado, the mist vortex began to form countless floating ice crystals. There were increasingly more and it was increasingly crowded. The countless ice crystals, like wandering fish in the ocean, surrounded and spun around the giant mist vortex.

And within the layers of mist, faintly discernible streams of violet light currents, as though drawn from the peak of the ninth heaven, were like purple light dragons dancing toward the summit of the stone tower.

The originally dull ice crystals, after being illuminated by the violet light currents, began to become crystal clear and sparkling with multicoloured lights. The originally dense fog-like mist grew more dazzling and increasingly bright, and the entire vortex reflected a colourful brilliance towards the peripheries of Flowing Light City.

On the streets of the city.

"Wow! Mother, mother, quickly look! There are gems in the clouds!"

A round-faced girl in pigtails tugged at her mother's hand, excitedly pointing at the rapidly swirling vortex.

"Lord Tianhang is about to come out of training!" A middle-aged man beside them, who looked to be a martial artist, after being taken aback for a moment, immediately said in a pleasantly surprised tone, while brushing his black beard and smilingly looking at the little girl.

"Do you think Lord Tianhang is going to be even more stronger when he comes out?"

"Yes, no more demons will dare to bully us!"

"Lord Tianhang will help us deal with them!"

"I'm going to find Lord Tianhang to teach me sword skills!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

Several teenage boys who stood at the front of the crowd were waving their fists excitedly, their eyes glistening and their faces beaming with spirited smiles.

……

Fifty miles outside of Flowing Light City.

Inside the Demon Spider Race's camp.

The tens of thousands of soldiers of Devouring Heaven Camp who were resting and recuperating at this time all took on an abrupt change of expression. That vast imposing manner was like the tentacles of a living creature stretching in all directions.

Where the tentacle passed by, there was a mountain-like oppressive feeling.

Standing outside the tent, the Demon Spider Race generals were all aghast at the sight, casting fearful looks at the spectacle in the skies of the distant Flowing Light City.

In the distance, that mist vortex that blotted out the sky, was like a tremendous pillar that propped up the sky, connecting the sky and earth, and covering the whole Flowing Light City to protect it within...

At this moment, the sudden earth-shaking spectacle was one that they had never seen before.

There was obviously no threat or dangerous aura, but under the tyrannical imposing manner, the soldiers of the Demon Spider Race camp all felt an unprecedented repression.

It seemed that the pressure of this strange power did not come from one person, but from Heaven and earth...

"Your highness..." Tong Wen looked at the hurricane funnel in the sky that shrouded Flowing Light City with a shocking look on his face, as he stood in the open space outside the tent.

At this time, there was also a hint of unconcealable shock in the round-faced Prince's eyes.

He stood in front of Tong Wen with a pondering expression, lightly shaking the slingshot that he casually made from a branch that he picked up.

"Your Highness, this spectacle of Flowing Light City is most likely linked to that chubby man..." Tong Wen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, relieving the dryness of his throat from the shock and nervousness.

"Yes... maybe, haha, interesting, I think, I am certain who that guy is," Mojin said thoughtfully and did not turn around as usual. With an imperceptible smile on his indifferent face, he continued to fiddle with the slingshot in his hand.

But if Tong Wen had leaned a little to one side, he will find that on the seemingly frivolous Prince's chubby face was a strange expression. In his eyes, there was unprecedented seriousness, which was seemingly mingled with a trace of envy and suspicion——
