High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 695

Chapter 695: Chapter 374: Two Major Calamities
 

“Is the Alliance Leader truly dead?”

Li Yuan was shaken to the core. Even though he had heard it straight from Fang Hai’s mouth, he still found it hard to believe.

That man who led the rise of a civilization and stood undefeated for over a century, enigmatic even to the likes of Gu You and Qiu Bingzun, could he really have fallen so suddenly, without a sound?

Even with a power almost at the Semi-Divine Peak, Li Yuan still felt he was far inferior to Dongfang Ji and had to strive harder.

Although the path of cultivation is unpredictable, in the “Inheritance Crystal Stone” given by Qiu Bingzun, it often described how some supreme beings fell silently into terrifying dangerous lands.

But Li Yuan’s heart still struggled to accept it.

“Fang Hai,” the Bai Shan Semi-Divine’s eyes were filled with urgency, “how could Dongfang have been in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?”

The urgency in the Bai Shan Semi-Divine was palpable; he was past caring about formal titles. Among those present, if one were to talk about emotional ties with Dongfang Ji, aside from Fang Hai, it would be him.

The faces of the others were also filled with shocked urgency, and they couldn’t help but turn to Fang Hai.

Panic seized them!

Among these powerful individuals present, none were without a sense of alarm.

“Many secrets are not known by Second Class Star Masters, hence I did not announce them openly,” Fang Hai said gravely. “But everyone present here is at the core of the Seven Star Civilization, and you should all be somewhat familiar with the Nine Mountains World in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.”

“In fact, at the end of the 51st year, our teacher had already gone to the Nine Mountains World,” said Fang Hai.

The crowd felt a slight shock.

Apart from Li Yuan, Fang Hai, and the Lant Semi-Divine, no one else present knew of this news.

“In other words, you didn’t actually witness the fall of Dongfang?” the Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked urgently, as if grasping at a lifeline.

“Indeed, I did not.”

“Our teacher went to the core area of the Nine Mountains World, a place beyond our strength to tread,” said Fang Hai with bitterness. “According to what the teacher said before, even if there were some dangers, there should still have been a great hope of survival. But I never imagined…”

The core area of the Nine Mountains World? Both the Blood Cloth Semi-Divine and Bai Shan Semi-Divine were inexplicably shocked.

In fact,

Most of the demigods present had ventured into the Nine Mountains World and had obtained various benefits… but none had the strength to venture deep into the core area.

“Alliance Leader,” the Snow Dragon Demigod, dressed in white, inquired, “Was it with the Life Crystal that you confirmed Dongfang Alliance Leader’s death?”

The Life Crystal, the Semi-Divines of the Seven Star Alliance had almost each refined one.

“It wasn’t the Life Crystal.”

“The place where our teacher went is beyond where the Life Crystal can confirm life or death,” Fang Hai shook his head. “It was the Soul Lamp, a contingency left by our teacher before he left, which is a higher level tool for confirming life and death… Just today, our teacher’s Soul Lamp went out.”

A Soul Lamp? Others might not understand well,

But Li Yuan knew its mystery because he too had refined a Soul Lamp and knew its value.

As long as one is within this Dimensional Domain, the Soul Lamp can confirm life and death.

“The Soul Lamp is only a part of it.”

Fang Hai continued gravely, “Additionally, our teacher had built many special bases on Feixing, one of which held many Alien Race Semi-Divines captive; among them, two had already been under the Soul Control of our teacher.”

“Many Alien Race Semi-Divines?”

“I’ve never heard of such a base.”

“There’s a base like that on Feixing?” The First Rank Star Masters were all somewhat astonished, unable to resist asking questions.

Even Li Yuan was surprised, captive demigods? Where were they captured from?

“That is not the point.”

“Dongfang Alliance Leader’s strength far surpasses ours; the palace he built for the whole civilization is unimaginable by us, and there is no point in making too many people aware of many matters,” said the Lant Semi-Divine coldly. “Let’s continue listening to the Alliance Leader.”

Everyone quieted down and continued to watch Li Yuan.

“Today, when the Soul Lamp went out, those two Semi-Divines who had been controlled by our teacher’s Soul also regained their freedom,” said Fang Hai darkly. “Of course, their souls had suffered heavy damage, so they were easily recaptured by us.”

“But numerous signs have already suggested that our teacher, indeed, has fallen,” Fang Hai said.

Silence fell.

If it were only the so-called ‘Soul Lamp’ that went out, there could be a mistake, but if the Soul Servants who were under Soul Control regained normalcy?

Then it’s unlikely to be a mistake.

The Semi-Divines present had almost no experience with Soul Control techniques, but were more or less familiar with this legendary soul secret technique.

Soul Servants, once their master dies, the Soul Imprint will also fade and they will regain their freedom… The process of regaining freedom is painful, and the servant’s soul will suffer heavy damage, even possibly ending in a perpetual slumber, but they are mostly likely to survive.

A soul-related connection is very special.

“Everyone.”

“The teacher’s death is something none of us wants to see, but it is a fact, and no matter how reluctant we are to believe it, we must accept reality,” Fang Hai, with reddened eyes and a solemn voice, said, “If we were just an ordinary civilization, it would not be a big deal, because our teacher left many methods behind, and our Seven Star Civilization also has so many demigods, we won’t be easily bullied… but we are situated next to the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.”

“It has prompted our Seven Star Civilization to rise quickly.”

“But it is also the origin of all misfortunes.”

The expressions of everyone present were stern.

The Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, which caused a divine war tens of thousands of years ago, had countless strong beings fall… Even if many civilizations did not know that the Seven Star Civilization had a shortcut to enter the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains Star Realm.

But just from the rapid rise of the Seven Star Civilization, one could infer that there were secrets within the Seven Star Civilization.

Only with great strength can one keep a treasure.

“If the Myriad Demons Civilization gets wind of our teachers passing, it might go completely mad, and reenact the struggle of the Feixing war, or even a more intense battle,” said Fang Hai gravely. “By then, it might be a hundred, two hundred, or even more demigods invading.”
