Chapter 298 Rules
The resplendent multicolored rainbow lights bloomed once again in the skies above Northern Sea Star.
Spatial ripples pushed the surrounding spiritual power, forming a tide of spiritual power that continuously diffused in all directions, and would soon lead to violent celestial phenomena.
Various phenomena like lightning and thunder, violent storms would inevitably bring terrifying impact to the creatures living in this region.
This was also why everyone on Northern Sea Star was so eager, unwilling to be outdone by others.
Many people thought they could quietly hide somewhere and cultivate peacefully, not contending or fighting, even if cultivation was slow—it was safe.
But on Northern Sea Star, where battles were so frequent, even if cultivators hid in deep mountains or at the ends of the earth, disaster could still descend from the heavens one day and take them away, along with their loved ones, family, and clan in one fell swoop.
...
"Swoosh!"
Within the spatial ripples, Alkaid's You Long Sword cut through all obstacles, its sharp sword light cleaving the void, tirelessly protecting him as he traversed thousands of miles, avoiding the residual energy shockwave from a Hollow Void War Immortal's Chaos Void collapse.
"Hollow Void War Immortal."
He glanced behind him, "With the advantage of my realm, dealing with Hollow Void War Immortals is indeed easier than dealing with Deep Blue Golden Cores, but... The demise of every Hollow Void War Immortal ends with the collapse of the Chaos Void. Unless they carry Quasi-Dao artifacts, Dao-level materials that can survive the collapse of the Chaos Void, no spoils of war will be left."
If there could be spoils of war, with the fortune of a Hollow Void War Immortal...
Well.
War Immortals are paupers.
Realizing they are cultivators without a "future", these War Immortals either live in drunken stupors, squandering all resources and elixirs upon obtaining them, or choose to cultivate the most outstanding successors, never saving "money" on themselves.
"War Immortals are poor, but... the Xi Family isn't."
Alkaid's figure shifted, and the Dragon Steed Flying Boat appeared in his hand.
As this treasure started to accelerate, spatial ripples rippled in front of him.
In less than ten breaths, the Dragon Steed Flying Boat, having accelerated to a certain extent, had ripped open the void and made a short-distance Void Shuttle.
When Alkaid emerged from the Void Shuttle, the provincial capital of Haizhou was already close at hand.
He put away the Dragon Steed Flying Boat and directly controlled his sword to rise, transforming into a golden sword light, and headed straight for the city.
Since the battle between Alkaid and Xi Lie erupted many miles outside the provincial capital, the phenomenon caused by the collapse of a Hollow Void War Immortal's black hole was clearly visible in the city.
The dazzling rainbow light illuminated the sky, and the celestial signs caused by the downfall of the Hollow Void were affecting the provincial capital.
It was foreseeable that soon, this entire area of tens of thousands of miles would be engulfed by violent storms and other severe weather phenomena caused by the collapse of a Chaos Void.
The fall of such a powerful being outside the city naturally attracted a large number of high-rank cultivators to rise into the sky.
They all gazed at the horizon, their expressions filled with surprise.
"This kind of phenomenon... Has a Hollow Void War Immortal fallen?"
"Who is it? There are three major families and the City Lord's Mansion, four powers in the city, each with a Hollow Void War Immortal in command. Which family's Hollow Void War Immortal has fallen?"
"Perhaps it was a passing Hollow Void War Immortal? Sadly, their time had come, and they couldn't control the Chaos Void within them, leading to their collapse?"
These cultivators speculated freely, but no one dared to interfere at this time.
After all, a Hollow Void War Immortal had fallen.
If that Hollow Void War Immortal fell because they couldn't stabilize their inner Chaos Void, so be it.
But if it was caused by someone else's attack...
Approaching now would be like delivering oneself to be silenced by that person or those capable enough to kill even a Hollow Void War Immortal.
Even though most of the Xi Family's formidable experts had been taken to the Imperial Capital, those who remained in the Province Prefecture were still a testament to this family's profound and formidable power.
From further away, many cultivators saw the commotion here, each looking toward the action continuously.
But not a single powerful cultivator came forward to meddle.
After all, if someone dared provoke the Xi Family, they would have to weigh their own abilities carefully; they couldn't afford to joke with their lives.
"Xi Hai, as the Guard Envoy of the Demon Subduing Hall, you greedily misappropriated the 460,000 Pure Yang Great Pills reward I deserved for the eradication of the Black Dragon Thieves, condemning your honor. Now, hand over my 460,000 Pure Yang Great Pills, and I will leave immediately! Otherwise..."
Alkaid's Divine Sense echoed in the night sky.
But before he could finish, he was angrily interrupted by Xi Hai: "Scoundrel! Who gave you the courage! How dare you attack our Xi Family!?"
The terrifying aura of the Deep Blue Golden Core welled out from him: "Let alone that you aren't even a True Disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, even if you were, our Xi Family is not something you can easily provoke. Since you seek your own death..."
"So obstinate! Then, let's just follow the rules of the Northern Sea Star."
Alkaid shook his head.
He looked at Xi Hai, the Guard Envoy of the Demon Subduing Hall: "Xi Hai, your reputation for greed is well known among the Demon Subduing Halls of the neighboring dozen provinces. But why do you think I still came to your Demon Subduing Hall to claim my reward?"
Without waiting for an answer, Alkaid burst out laughing: "There are two reasons. Firstly, comparing my strength to that of the Xi Family's in the Province Prefecture, I am confident enough in my own capabilities! And secondly..."
Suddenly wielding the You Long Sword in his hand, he directly ripped through the void, sending out a visible ripple.
And the direction of the sword light...
Strikingly, it was aimed at another Hollow Void War Immortal of the Xi Family, who was in seclusion.
"Because... the Guard Envoy of Haizhou has gone out in search of pills and isn't in Haizhou!"
"How dare he!"
"Let's attack together!"
Xi Hai and Xi Hong, two great Deep Blue Golden Cores, didn't hesitate for an instant and simultaneously shook their Divine Senses, unleashing their Divine Skills, aiming to capture Alkaid.
But almost as they moved to capture Alkaid, a glint from the Two Realms Ruler flashed by him.
He swiftly executed the Nine Transformations of Heavenly Movement, resembling a Void Walker. He simply traversed through their space-sealing Divine Skills, making his way to another Hollow Void War Immortal, Xi Guang's seclusion spot.
It was only when he reached this Hollow Void War Immortal's place of seclusion that he realized something.
"No wonder such a major event occurred outside and no one inspected it immediately. The Chaos Void is unstable? So he is in seclusion stabilizing the Chaos Void state!"
Alkaid suddenly swung the You Long Sword in his hand, the ripple of the void undulating around the sword's edge.
"Hahaha! It seems I've come at just the right moment!"
The next moment, the undulating void ripple gathered itself and transformed into the Supreme Divine Power, Rip the Sky with One Strike, and thunderously smashed down towards the location of the Hollow Void War Immortal.
Although this Hollow Void War Immortal, Xi Guang, was stabilizing the Chaos Void, he wasn't incapacitated or dead.
Hollow Void War Immortal, after all, experienced such instabilities every few years; he and all other War Immortals were accustomed to it.
Sensing that the Xi Family had been attacked, this War Immortal had already reacted and ceased his cultivation.
Now seeing Alkaid trying to take advantage of the situation, this Hollow Void War Immortal snorted coldly: "Overestimating your abilities!"
He vigorously operated the Chaos Void, and amidst the undulating ripples that twisted the void, he suddenly extended his hand towards Alkaid's direction and grasped forcefully.
The void, centered around him, seemed to rapidly collapse.
"Great Universe Hand? Xi Family, is this the best Great Divine Skill you can muster?"
Alkaid instantly recognized this Hollow Void War Immortal's technique.
The ripple from Rip the Sky with One Strike surged, and before the Great Divine Skill could crush the "void" around him, he traversed out, carrying the might of the Supreme Divine Power, and fiercely smashed into the void where this Hollow Void War Immortal was.
