Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 712: Chapter 431: Shrink Thousands of Mountains, Take the Sun and the Moon_2

“`

The disciples of Earth Profound Sect breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Oliver Bennett protected everyone, their safety was assured. They wouldn’t have to worry about being implicated by the ripples of the Land Fathom Sea’s actions.

Although Oliver Bennett had not yet taken a stance, at least Blackwood City Master was one of the top three strong ones in the Immortal Realm. Oliver Bennett had to give face to Blackwood City Master and wouldn’t likely start a war over such a trivial matter.

Even if one took ten thousand steps back, the fact that Land Fathom Sea had just attempted to ambush Oliver Bennett meant that Oliver Bennett would be sure to retaliate later on. And with Oliver Bennett’s strength, he would easily overpower Land Fathom Sea alone. If he also offended the Blackwood City Master and had to fight both at the same time, he certainly wouldn’t stand a chance.

“To have such a Sect Leader, how tragic!” the disciples of Earth Profound Sect sighed deeply. They could not understand why their Sect Leader suddenly ambushed Oliver Bennett. To have been so carefreely among the two powerful forces of the Immortal Realm, why seek death where there was not a shred of benefit, successful or not?

On the other hand, Logan had woven a vast Law’s Net over the crack, working step by step to neutralize it and restore Cloud Valley to its former state. At this critical moment, when more of the Law’s Force was needed, the Laws within the top-grade Spirit Stones had been exhausted, and now it all depended on Oliver Bennett alone.

But as time passed, Oliver Bennett couldn’t hold on any longer, “Every Sanctuary Powerhouse present, converge your cultivation’s Law’s Force onto me!”

Upon this shout, the few thousand people present took action. Although Sanctuary Powerhouses were few in number, Quasi-Saints could somewhat match them, right?

Another ten minutes passed, and everything was accomplished. Logan also showed a hint of a smile, just as he was ready to withdraw his hands, a vortex suddenly appeared above and it grew larger and larger, seemingly about to create another crack. This caused Logan’s expression to stiffen on the spot.

He had expended a tremendous effort to repair everything, only for troubles to arise again so suddenly. What exactly was going on?

Unwilling to see his efforts come to naught and desperate, Logan struck the vortex with the Thunder and Lightning Laws, even if it exhausted him and severely damaged his Dantian. But he didn’t care about that anymore.

Oliver Bennett was also stunned; he too thought the matter was successfully resolved, but in the blink of an eye, it happened again. Being unfamiliar with arrays, he could only anxiously watch Logan.

The vortex expanded rapidly, growing to dozens of meters in size within moments. Powers of immense devouring emerged, as if ready to destroy everyone present. People, not understanding, retreated. Logan was the most anxious of them all. What exactly went wrong?

Suddenly, Logan came to a realization, “We lack Laws; everyone, pour your Laws into it, and throw in any unused Divine Artifacts and such, to compensate for Cloud Valley’s recent losses. If we have enough strength to support it, everything will return to normal, right?”

These past few days, because of that crack, this space had suffered serious losses. Not only had the Laws dissipated, but also the Spiritual Energy and the Great Law of heaven and earth. So, although Logan had stopped everything, making the crack vanish, he was essentially treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

With Logan’s reminder, a group of people hastily got to work. Was there anyone present that was not at least a Quasi-Saint? Just pulling out a single Space Storage Bag, one would have thousands of divine weapons. For the safety of the entire Immortal Realm, no one was stingy; they threw out their divine weapons without hesitation.

The Law’s Force generated by several thousand people, combined with the power of tens of thousands of divine weapons, drew the vortex to keep devouring until it turned a bloody red.

This scene made everyone’s heart tremble. Could it be that Logan made the wrong judgment? The vortex grew more and more terrifying, and if it exploded, the entire Immortal Realm would cease to exist.

Even Logan doubted himself, but apart from this, he could think of no other possibility. He had already restored the crack, so why did a vortex appear?

At a loss after much pondering, the bloody vortex suddenly disappeared. Then, a golden, dazzling light sparkled, and in the next moment, the laws of Cloud Valley swirled around. This sight stunned everyone, and at the same time, smiles emerged on their faces as they realized that the crisis had truly been resolved.

Oliver Bennett took a breath of relief and approached, “Logan, you are a savior of the Immortal Realm. I believe no Array Master in this world can compare to you.”

“It’s nothing to speak of!” Logan waved his hand. He couldn’t consider it his sole accomplishment; he also owes much to Oliver Bennett and the others for their help. Without their Laws infused into it, relying only on Logan himself, even if he stayed here for a year and a half, it wouldn’t work.

With the crisis of the Immortal Realm resolved, the hanging heart of Blackwood City Master was at ease. Compared to that, the ambush by Land Fathom Sea was nothing—a mere buffoon.

Looking at the Blackwood City Master, Oliver Bennett said earnestly, “Prepare yourself, gather the military might of Blackwood City and follow me to Earth Profound Sect, to make Land Fathom Sea pay the price.”

“`

“Understood,” replied the Blackwood City Master, his heart heavy with the weight of Oliver Bennett’s words; it was clear that a fatal move was intended against the Abyss of the Earth.

Yet, he dared not interfere, for who in the Immortal Realm would dare go against the orders of Oliver Bennett? The power of the Half-step Saint Emperor Realm was no bluff.

At this moment, one person stood up, “Sect Leader Tian, this cannot be done. The Earth Profound Sect, as one of the two major forces in the Immortal Realm, should not be underestimated. If we battle them, the entire Immortal Realm could suffer a disaster of extinction!”

“Just now, the Earth Abyss attempted an assassination on me and admitted that the crack in Cloud Valley was his doing. He wants to destroy the Immortal Realm. Should such a person be spared?”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Oliver Bennett snorted coldly, “Not a single one from the Earth Profound Sect shall be spared. Only then can the Immortal Realm be safe. Otherwise, what shall we do if the Earth Abyss creates another crack someday?”

Upon these words, everyone fell silent. Indeed, if the Earth Abyss could create a crack once, he could do it ten times, a hundred times. Would Logan intervene again next time? Or, even assuming Logan could always resolve it, would that be certain?

“Although the Immortal Celestial Gate is the number one sect in the Immortal Realm and can suppress the Earth Profound Sect, plus the various powerhouses of Blackwood City, we have a great chance of winning the battle. However, the Earth Profound Sect is not without its means; should even one person escape, it could pose a threat to the Immortal Realm in the future.”

In such a situation, that person still urged caution, “The error lies with the Earth Abyss alone. Why not send someone to negotiate with the Earth Profound Sect? Perhaps they will choose justice over kin and join us against the Earth Abyss! This way, it is the more prudent course both emotionally and logically.”

“I disagree. What if the Earth Profound Sect doesn’t agree and instead takes the time to prepare for war and escape? Sending someone to negotiate would just give them time!”

Many others sneered, deeming the idea naïve. With the Earth Abyss as the Sect Leader of Earth Profound Sect, how could they dare to disregard his commands?

Even if the Earth Profound Sect wished to betray him, under the coercion of the Earth Abyss, they had no other choice; thus, a direct approach might be better.

“Do not measure the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a scoundrel. After all, the Earth Profound Sect still resides within the Immortal Realm, where can they flee? If we just guard the advanced exits first, wouldn’t that ensure our safety?”

“Giving the Earth Profound Sect a chance to mend their ways also considers the safety of the Immortal Realm. As fellow beings of the Immortal Realm, if we don’t even grant others a single way out, what if one day it’s us who are in the same predicament? You’re only thinking about destroying the Earth Profound Sect, not considering the consequences at all.”

Watching a row of people arguing, Oliver Bennett waved his hand decisively, “No more words. My mind is set. Prepare for three hours, then we move out to the Earth Profound Sect.”

Holy Daoist listened to the side, heart pounding, not caring what happened to the Immortal Realm itself, but knowing full well that if the Immortal Realm was struck by calamity, it would definitely affect the outside world.

A battle between Oliver Bennett and the Earth Profound Sect would turn heaven and earth upside down. If the Immortal Realm and Cloud Valley were endangered just like before, what should be done if another crack appeared?

Although Holy Daoist was anxious, he understood that his words carried no weight; he could only walk over to Logan’s side, hoping Logan would speak up to stop Oliver Bennett and the others.

Logan was incredibly astute; with just a glance, he already understood what Holy Daoist intended. However, Logan did not plan to prevent Oliver Bennett from settling the score with the Earth Abyss.

Logan himself had repaired the Cloud Valley when the Earth Abyss took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack. How should that score be settled? It was only thanks to the intervention of the Blackwood City Master that Logan had been spared. If the City Master had been overpowered, Logan would have been annihilated.

Facing the might of the ninth layer of the Holy See, Logan was currently no match. If Oliver Bennett was willing to take action, it would be a good thing for Logan; how could he possibly object?

He could just use the Spiritual Stone Formation to envelop the entire Earth Profound Sect, preventing anyone from escaping. The worries of Holy Daoist were understandable but excessive.

Because if they did not act against the Earth Profound Sect, would that mean they would behave? Clearly not, they would continue to trouble the Immortal Realm. It was better to take decisive action once and for all.
