Opening the world barrier was not what Chen Yi needed the Earth Spirit to do.
What he needed the Earth Spirit’s help with was locating other worlds.
At present, the time fragments of countless planes were all jumbled together within the spatial turbulence, and Chen Yi could not tell one from another.
Of course, he could simply choose one at random and jump inside. That would allow him to enter another plane.
That had been his original plan.
But now that Chen Yi was a Guardian, he had a better option.
After communicating with the Earth Spirit, Chen Yi gained access to its spiritual sight. He could sense the Earth Spirits of other planes and, through them, lock onto a specific plane amid the spatial turbulence.
“Treefolk, Mudfolk, Oro… They’re all obscure little planes inhabited by minor races. Not safe enough…”
Chen Yi wanted to choose a major plane with a powerful race. Hiding the Five Elements Root Artifacts in such a plane would be safer.
At the same time, the Earth Spirit corresponding to such a plane would be stronger and better able to repair the Five Elements Root Artifacts of the Human Realm.
“Hm? The Wingfolk?”
Chen Yi discovered an excellent target.
The Wingfolk were undoubtedly one of the powerful races among the myriad races of the Void Realm.
At the end of the fifth simulation, five late-stage Qi Transformation experts from the Wingfolk—Martial Gods, in other words—had been able to join forces and open the world barrier, entering the Human Realm in search of the path to ascension.
The regular army of the Wingfolk should be even more formidable, with a greater number of powerful experts.
The stronger the living beings of a plane, the stronger its Earth Spirit would be.
“Let’s go!”
…
Wing Realm.
Alba City.
Today, the city lord, Sotuofeiren, had organized a grand celebration for the entire city.
Tens of thousands of residents had gathered in the central square. This generous city lord had treated everyone to delicious food and fine wine, and they had all danced around a statue of the Furei God.
“My beloved residents of Alba City, do you know why we’re holding today’s celebration?”
“Yes, we do, dear City Lord!”
“That’s right! Just last month, our Wing Realm expeditionary army conquered three planes in one fell swoop! Three! With that, the number of planes conquered by our Wingfolk has entered the top five in the entire Void Realm!”
“Yes, that’s right! Glory to the Furei God!”
“Raise your glasses, everyone, and let us toast the Furei God in Sky City!”
Everyone raised their glasses toward the sky. Their eyes, fixed on the blue sky and white clouds, were filled with reverence.
Just then, a fireball appeared among the blue sky and white clouds.
It was a scorching, blazing, spinning fireball hurtling downward at a terrifying speed!
“Ah!!!”
The joyous celebration instantly descended into chaos as everyone fled for their lives.
The respected Lord Alba, Sotuofeiren, possessed the cultivation of a Wing God—the late stage of Qi Transformation. Fearlessly, he spread open the pair of wings on his back.
“Residents of Alba, don’t be afraid! It’s only a tiny meteorite. Watch as your city lord smashes it to pieces!”
With a sonic boom that shook the ground, Sotuofeiren leaped confidently into the air. He brought both hands together at his waist and abdomen, charging his strength before suddenly thrusting them forward and releasing a destructive beam of light.
“Alba—Destruction Cannon!”
The beam illuminated the entire sky, bathing everything in a deep blue radiance.
Seeing this, the city’s residents felt somewhat reassured.
“That’s the City Lord’s ultimate technique!”
“Even the great Furei God would have to dodge that attack!”
“That’s it! Go, Lord City Lord!”
Sotuofeiren’s ultimate technique collided with the burning meteorite.
Sotuofeiren tossed his head, sending his golden hair flying, and smugly said to himself, “Direct hit!”
It was useless.
The meteorite’s speed did not decrease in the slightest. Sotuofeiren’s attack had not even extinguished a single strand of flame on its surface.
“Uh…”
Because they were too close and the meteorite was moving too fast, Sotuofeiren had no room to dodge.
“Ah!!!”
The meteorite slammed into him.
Although he managed to activate another technique at the critical moment and save his life, he failed to impede the meteorite in the slightest.
“Rumble—!”
The meteorite crashed into the central square of Alba City.
This prosperous metropolis of the Wing Realm was destroyed by half on the spot, reduced to a pitch-black crater.
Amid the smoke and dust of the explosion, a figure slowly emerged.
The flames clung to him without burning him, while the smoke swirled around him without leaving a trace.
He looked like a heavenly god descending to the mortal world, radiating an overwhelming divinity.
Just as the survivors in the city were about to kneel before him, they suddenly realized that he had no wings.
“Oh, great Furei God! Anyone without wings is an outsider. He definitely isn’t a heavenly god.”
“That’s right. He must be a devil from beyond the heavens.”
“I’ve heard the legends of extraterrestrial demons. Could this fellow be one of them?”
The newcomer was Chen Yi.
A minor accident had occurred while he was traversing between planes.
To make his landing safer—primarily for the sake of this plane, not his own—he had used the Flamefolk’s innate ability to wrap himself in fire before entering free fall.
Wherever he landed, he landed.
Chen Yi waved his hand, and a wave of divine power swept across the city, dispersing the smoke and dust and restoring clear visibility.
“Who holds the highest social status here?”
When Chen Yi spoke, he used flawless Wingfolk language, courtesy of the “Barrier-Free Communication” trait.
The surrounding Wingfolk cautiously gathered around him.
“He’s speaking our language.”
“Could he be a Wingfolk too?”
“It looks like he’s only missing his wings. Could they be hidden? Or did someone cut them off?”
Chen Yi listened to the Wingfolk chatter around him, but no one answered his question. His already limited patience vanished in an instant.
He raised a hand and cast the Stellar River Divine Art, displaying absolute control over gravity.
Every feather on the wings of the surrounding Wingfolk was pulled straight to the ground.
They had all been plucked, leaving them bald.
“Ahhh! My wings!”
To the Wingfolk, feathers were sacred. Every day, they cleaned and maintained them, combing them into perfect order, with each feather neatly pressed against the next.
Without their feathers, they would also temporarily lose the ability to fly.
Chen Yi did not raise his voice, but this time, no one dared ignore him.
“Who has the highest social status here?”
Everyone pointed in unison toward Sotuofeiren, who had just been struck by Chen Yi and had yet to recover.
Sotuofeiren lay amid the ruins. He was already unable to stand and could only raise a hand.
“I—I—I’m the city lord here… May I ask who, who you are, honored sir?”
Chen Yi strode toward him.
“Human. Guardian. Chen Yi!”
Chen Yi believed in speaking plainly and fearing nothing.
When he drew closer, Chen Yi discovered that this fellow possessed only the cultivation of the Spirit Condensation Realm.
“Your cultivation is this low? There are plenty of people in this city stronger than you. Are you really the city lord?”
“I—I was a Martial God originally, but you knocked my cultivation apart when you hit me just now. Only this much remains…”
“Oh… I thought I felt something when I was falling. I assumed it was… Never mind. Tell me, who is the supreme ruler of this world? Or do you know any Guardians?”
Sotuofeiren understood just how terrifying Chen Yi was. He did not dare conceal a single thing and told him everything he knew.
“The current ruler of the Wing Realm is the Auspicious God. He’s the ‘highest ruler’ you mentioned, though he doesn’t actually rule over anything. As for the Guardian… I once saw him from afar, but I don’t think we can really say we know each other.”
