Chapter 633: Method to Activate the World-Shifting Grand Array
Transformation Star Lord was somewhat interested in technological products. For this reason, he specifically requested that Black Dragon Domain Lord leave the technological planets from other worlds near him, so he could explore these technological planets anytime, anywhere.
There were too few survivors on this planet. Gathering them up to sell was troublesome and effort-intensive, not cost-effective at all. It was better to treat them as his personal toys.
He called himself Dragon God, acting recklessly on this planet. Watching people tremble with fear put him in a comfortable mood.
Transformation Star Lord’s favorite thing was giving people a sliver of hope for survival, then destroying that hope.
However, he hadn’t been very interested lately. The technological products on this planet had been almost completely excavated by him, with no remaining value for further exploration.
One last time. If these foolish survivors couldn’t find any more interesting technological products, he might as well destroy the planet and extract its core.
These survivors definitely couldn’t be allowed to live. If Black Dragon Domain Lord found out he was acting like a king here, calling himself Dragon God, he would be in deep trouble.
After discovering the survivors’ traces, he revealed his Flood Dragon True Body, coiling in the air to create a sense of oppression.
“Humans…”
Before he could finish speaking, an unknown force grabbed him by the neck and slammed him to the ground.
“Who!” Transformation Star Lord’s massive flood dragon body lay prostrate on the ground, his snake-like eyes icy cold as he glared at the newcomers.
Black Dragon Domain Lord was the most favored mount of the Eight Desolation Lords. He was Black Dragon Domain Lord’s capable subordinate. With such status, who would dare disrespect him?
Even if other Domain Lords came, they wouldn’t treat him like this out of respect for Black Dragon Domain Lord.
“Your Grandpa Bai!”
Bai Hongtu stepped on Transformation Star Lord’s mouth, causing his upper and lower teeth to collide and shatter throughout his jaw.
Transformation Star Lord couldn’t even roar.
The survivors couldn’t believe it. Such a colossal creature was completely helpless against these three people.
“What perfect timing, truly considerate of you.”
“Who are you people! I’m Black Dragon Domain Lord’s subordinate!” Seeing three unfamiliar faces, Transformation Star Lord felt an inexplicable panic.
“Black Dragon Domain Lord? Even the Eight Desolation Lords wouldn’t dare speak so loudly in my presence.” Jiang Li sneered. His impression of the Eight Desolations was extremely poor.
His intuition told him the Eight Desolations still held secrets.
“You three are the immortal ancestors… no, you’re the Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivators from the Nine Provinces!” Transformation Star Lord immediately realized.
He knew the Eight Desolations had collided with the Nine Provinces, but the Eight Desolation Lords hadn’t invaded the opposing world as they usually would.
Yesterday, Black Dragon Domain Lord had transmitted a message saying each planet should select outstanding talents to represent the Eight Desolations in competitions held in the Nine Provinces World.
Transformation Star Lord had sent his Personal Disciple over. Barring unexpected circumstances, his disciple would be eliminated in the first round of the Eight Desolations internal selection.
The planets he managed simply had no real talents. Worried that his Personal Disciple might surpass him, he had always held back and never taught sincerely.
If even his Personal Disciple was treated this way, other cultivators didn’t need mentioning.
He sent his disciple just for show, not taking the confrontation with the Nine Provinces seriously at all.
He never expected that Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivators from the Nine Provinces would come here, and that he would encounter them.
These three didn’t even bother concealing their killing intent toward him. Given the situation, there was only one option left.
“Please, I beg you, don’t kill me. Whatever you want to know, I’ll tell you everything, just spare my life.”
Transformation Star Lord knew the Eight Desolations were powerful. He knew if the Eight Desolations fought the Nine Provinces, the Eight Desolations would definitely win.
But what did that have to do with him? He was about to die right now. The Eight Desolations’ strength wasn’t his strength.
“Tell me everything? Then tell me, how many worlds has the Eight Desolations collided with over these six thousand years?”
“This… this I don’t know.”
“Hmm?” Bai Hongtu released his Tribulation Transcendence aura, pressing down on Transformation Star Lord.
Transformation Star Lord immediately spat blood and hurriedly explained: “There have been simply too many collided worlds, impossible to count. Not to mention those that happened before I was even born.”
“Then how do you move worlds?”
“I don’t know much about this. I only know the Eight Desolation Lords established Desolation Lord Palaces on the dimensional barriers according to the Eight Trigrams positions. Each Desolation Lord Palace is responsible for one direction. By activating formations, they can adjust directions and move worlds.”
“Take us to the Desolation Lord Palaces.”
“Yes, yes.” Transformation Star Lord was subservient and didn’t dare resist Bai Hongtu’s command.
Jiang Li extended a finger, shooting out a beam of light that split into hundreds of thousands of strands, flying to all parts of the planet and piercing through the Mutated Beasts.
Jiang Li turned to Qiu Langsha and said: “The Mutated Beasts on your planet have all been eliminated. Stay here for now. When matters are concluded, someone will come to help you.”
Jiang Li and the other two grabbed Transformation Star Lord by the tail and flew toward the dimensional barriers. Qiu Langsha knelt and kowtowed repeatedly, expressing profound gratitude to the three.
He had never imagined he would return here one day.
…
“This is the place, the nearest Desolation Lord Palace – the Dui Position Desolation Lord Palace.”
The Desolation Lord Palace was built on the dimensional barriers. Near the Desolation Lord Palace, there were many life-bearing planets.
Jiang Li scanned these planets with his spiritual sense and found that the human civilization level here was clearly much higher than elsewhere. In martial arts, there were warriors capable of killing Golden Core cultivators. In cultivation, there were Domain Lords stationed here. Cultivation theories were also clearer and easier to understand.
All Eight Desolation Lords were gathered at the Qian Position Desolation Lord Palace, selecting cultivators, so the Dui Desolation Lord wasn’t in his palace.
The Desolation Lord Palace had protective formations. Without the Dui Desolation Lord’s permission, no one could enter.
Originally, Jiang Li wanted to punch through it, but unexpectedly, Bai Hongtu glanced at it and cracked the formation, not giving Jiang Li a chance to demonstrate his power.
Transformation Star Lord wasn’t qualified to enter the Desolation Lord Palace and knew nothing about its layout. Jiang Li expanded his spiritual sense and found the formation for moving worlds.
Bai Hongtu frowned, feeling something was off about this formation, but couldn’t pinpoint what exactly.
He sat cross-legged on the ground and began deducing.
The formation for moving worlds was quite complex. No one in the Nine Provinces had researched this issue, making this essentially a completely new field.
After half an hour, Bai Hongtu opened his eyes, revealing a trace of confusion in his gaze.
“The method to activate this formation doesn’t seem to be by channeling spiritual energy.”
He had figured out all other issues, leaving only this one that troubled him most.
“Senior has excellent discernment.” Transformation Star Lord flattered, “This formation is called the World Shifting Grand Formation. To activate the World Shifting Grand Formation, what’s needed isn’t spiritual energy, but merit.”
“What! You said merit power?” Bai Hongtu’s voice suddenly rose sharply.
Jiang Li and Yu Yin also frowned. Indeed, the Eight Desolations were far more complex than they appeared on the surface.
What Qian Desolation Lord had told them probably contained not a single word of truth.
Transformation Star Lord didn’t understand why Bai Hongtu reacted this way. He spoke what he knew to prove his value.
“I’ve heard from others that the Eight Desolation Lords can obtain merit by killing people. Every time they collide with other worlds, the Eight Desolation Lords go on killing sprees, slaughtering batches of people to obtain merit power, replenishing the merit power consumed by activating the World Shifting Grand Formation. This way, the merit power is never exhausted and even has surplus.”
“However, this should all be rumors. I’ve killed so many people but never obtained any merit power.”
