Chapter 962: Chapter 28: Sacrifice and Deceiving the Heavens (2)

“Even if we all enter the Newborn Land, we are unlikely to compete with the Shattered Star Sacred Land.”

“Ha, if there’s an opportunity, are you going in or not?”

“…”

The few talking Saint Emperors fell into silence.

If there’s a chance, not go in?

Is that possible?

If they could enter the Newborn Land, they would follow without hesitation.

Even if they can’t get to the meat, such a big opportunity, even sipping soup is good.

So, they speak of giving up, but if there’s a real chance, each would be faster than the next; for now, they’re just waiting and watching.

But those like the Deep Sea Saint Emperor, who were involved in the early planning, still held different views.

“We better not get involved, the Shattered Star Sacred Land has plotted against us for so long, they will definitely have a backup this time.”

“Those people are taking chances, but more likely, it will end up as a futile effort.”

“Let’s just wait for the opening of the Xuan Yuan Palace’s inheritance…” The Boundless Saint Emperor made a decision, not believing he could snatch food from the tiger.

The Lord of Light shared the same thought.

He and the Boundless Saint Emperor, over the years, found a way to obtain the Inheritance Jade Plate of the Xuan Yuan Palace.

They just wanted to wait patiently.

However, the Deep Sea Saint Emperor was thinking of something else.

‘Did that lord know about the Shattered Star Sacred Land’s actions?’

He was asked by Wang Sheng to report immediately if there was any change in the Xuan Yuan Star Domain.

‘With such a big matter, that lord should be aware by now… oh well, it’s safer to notify.’

The Deep Sea Saint Emperor found an excuse to leave, planning to notify Wang Sheng.

Soon, he was alone, taking out the communication jade token given by Wang Sheng.

“My lord, there is a change in the Xuan Yuan Star Domain, the Shattered Star Sacred Land has sealed off a part, seemingly intending to enter the Newborn Land.”

Before long, he received a reply.

“I know!”

After that, there were no more words, and the Deep Sea Saint Emperor felt at ease.

On the other side, Wang Sheng was actually already aware of this matter.

He had already made preparations.

He directly monitored all places he could, and any significant energy fluctuation within the monitored area would not escape him.

He himself had also come to the “pathway” leading to the Newborn Land.

“According to Xing Yuan, the position where one emerges from the pathway is not fixed. However, the method used by the Shattered Star Sacred Land likely differs from Xing Yuan and his group’s method, and they might come out directly from here, so key precautions are needed. It’s uncertain whether the Shattered Star Sacred Land can successfully pass through the pathway… ”

He knew that the current pathway was not peaceful; it was quite chaotic.

A wave passing through, ordinary Twelve Realm Saint Emperors couldn’t withstand it.

If the Shattered Star Sacred Land had bad luck, Wang Sheng might not even have to make a move, and they would perish entirely in the pathway.

Of course, he was prepared for the best and worst scenarios.

“Come, if you manage to arrive successfully, let’s see if you can handle this surprise… ”

If possible, he did not plan to let the battlefield extend to the Newborn Land’s starry sky.

He would ambush at the entrance of the pathway.

On the other side, the Shattered Star Sacred Land was also taking action.

“Not sure if it will work, the success rate of this plan is much lower than the previous one and it’s easier to cause a backlash, otherwise, they really wouldn’t want to use it…” Hong Yun manipulated the corpses of three Saint Emperors to perform a sacrifice according to procedure.

If not for problems in their first plan, they would never have wanted to resort to this one.

Unfortunately, they now had no retreat.

Quickly, he placed the three Saint Emperor corpses in the array and looked towards Yuanhua.

“Holy Master, everything is ready!”

“Good!” Yuanhua nodded, then flew above the array, “Deceiving Heaven Array, rise!”

Following him, other Saint Emperors of the Shattered Star Sacred Land also moved.

Three Saint Emperors guarded, while other Saint Emperors each stood at different positions.

The bodies of the three Saint Emperors, like the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor, were placed at the center of the array, surrounded tightly by runes, while the Saint Emperors of the Shattered Star Sacred Land chanted loudly beside it. Gradually, the array began to emit a faint glow.

As the chanting ended, the corpses started to dissolve slowly, each containing immense power, which enabled the array to reach its peak effectiveness.

Almost instantly, the array became enormously large, several times larger than the star cloud of the pathway, and with the control of Yuanhua and others, enveloped the star cloud.

The array seemed to sway with a deep soul, existing quietly, causing an innate fear in anyone watching from afar, making all the Saint Emperors shiver with a strange force continuously merging into the star cloud.

“What kind of array is this, how bizarre is the power…”

“It requires the bodies of three Saint Emperors, what exactly is this array doing, something bad seems to be happening.”

Many Saint Emperors felt the oddness of the array, but none stepped forward.

And the star cloud covered by the array began to change gradually.

As the bizarre power of the array merged in, the mist of the star cloud was eroded, dissipating bit by bit, seemingly revealing its true form.

“Indeed, this star cloud is actually part of the Starry Sky Rules; the Starry Sky Rules separate the old land and the Newborn Land, but essentially the two star fields are one, impossible to be completely separate. If the star cloud is dispersed, it will naturally connect…”

Yuanhua watched the eroding star cloud, muttering to himself.

Watching the slow erosion, he continued:

“It’s more difficult than I imagined, but the previous plan wasn’t a waste. If we hadn’t sent so many things into the Newborn Land, the array may not have even worked, and even so, the channel opened this way won’t be long…”

If not for having eroded part of the Newborn Land, this plan might not work well.

Though slow now, at least it was slowly progressing without any accidents.

Time passed little by little, and the star cloud hiding the pathway was mostly eroded.

The Shattered Star Sacred Land was close to success.

The Saint Emperors lurking in the dark, intending to take advantage of the stir, were also prepared.

They knew there was only one chance.

If they failed, they would completely miss the opportunity.

Yet another half-day passed, and only a little bit of the star cloud remained.

The Shattered Star Sacred Land exerted force again, and the star cloud disappeared completely. In an instant, a pitch-black universe starry sky appeared without a single star.

“Now’s the time!”

With Yuanhua as the leader, the Shattered Star Sacred Land dashed into the dark starry sky in an instant.

The hidden Saint Emperors didn’t hesitate either, using their full strength to rush towards the pathway.

But at this moment, a terrifying explosion suddenly erupted.

The explosion’s affected range wasn’t broad, but its power was extremely terrifying.

The few Saint Emperors charging quickest bore the brunt of it, struck directly by the explosion, their auras plummeting by seventy percent in an instant, their injuries terrifying, their bodies incomplete, seemingly about to fall at any moment.

Instantly, all the Human Saints halted.

The injured Saint Emperors turned and left without any reluctance.

They didn’t know if this kind of explosion would occur again.

It might not, but they didn’t dare to gamble.

If hit by an explosion twice, even a Saint Emperor would perish.

While they hesitated, the star cloud also slowly recovered.

Even the Shattered Star Sacred Land could only maintain its erosion for a period of time.

No Saint Emperors dared to act rashly, while the Shattered Star Sacred Land People hurried with all their might, hoping to pass through the starless sky quickly.

“Don’t hold back at all, accelerate fully; we must reach before the star cloud recovers, then we will face the backlash.” Yuanhua led the way, charging at the forefront.

Their method deceived the Starry Sky Rules, and they would likely encounter backlash thereafter.

If they encountered backlash in this place, no one knew what would happen.

Entering the normal starry sky, at least they would feel more confident.

At these words, the Saint Emperors of the Shattered Star Sacred Land sped up even more.

Soon they saw another slowly recovering star cloud.

Everyone’s hearts rejoiced, knowing they were about to arrive.

But just then, a sense of crisis emerged in each of their hearts before they could even react, a terrifying force struck…

With the appearance of this force, there was also an ethereal voice.

“Finally, I’ve been waiting for you…”
