Chapter 564: Drifting Cloud Region

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

The trip out of the Serenity Plains was smooth because the area they were at was remote. It belonged to the territory of a fifth rank family which only had two Noble Lord Realm warriors. Lu Li and the others were not easy target for average warriors.

The Serene Cloud Sea was not large, being only a continental sea. Legend had it that the Serenity Plains and the Clouds Plains were connected. When some supreme warrior was fighting against a hated enemy, he cut off the two plains in a move. Water poured into the sunken area in the middle, which later turned to be the Serene Cloud Sea.

The legend must be exaggerating. Lu Li laughed, not convinced by Third Patriarch's story. Small as it was, it would take them more than a day to go across the Serene Cloud Sea. Granted, they were not traveling fast, but the overall distance still amounted to ten million nautical miles.

A continental sea with a length of ten million nautical miles was created in one move?

Not even god could do that. Naturally, Lu Li wouldn't buy it.

"Actually… the legend is likely to be true!

"

God of Meng suddenly added,

"I don't know if others could do this, but I know Emperor of Heaven Reverse has the ability!

"

"How is that possible?

"

Both Lu Li and Ke Mang opened their eyes in disbelief. Could a human being have this capacity? On second thought, Lu Li remembered Emperor of Heaven Reverse had ascended to heaven and become immortal. He was not a human being for sure. Now that he had become an immortal, it was possible that he had such amazing abilities.

"Do you know what level Emperor of Heaven Reverse's abilities were at?

"

God of Meng said with ardent admiration,

"Many powerful warriors survived the three wars between the 10,000 races. As far as I know, at least 1000 warriors could be at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm from the 10,000 races back then, and there were nine Progenitors of the races that were more powerful than those at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm.

"

"But!

"

God of Meng's glared as he continued in a voice filled with excitement,

"Powerful warriors of the 10,000 races formed an alliance to fight against the rising human kind. While they were breaching into the territory of the human race, Emperor of Heaven Reverse came out alone. In one move, he killed more than half of the 1000 peak warriors and six of the nine Progenitors. That fight sealed the victory for the humans. Lu Li… can you imagine Emperor of Heaven Reverse's powers?

"

"What…

"

Lu Li was stunned. More than 1000 powerful warriors of the 10,000 races that could be at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, each with their individual skills, and half were slayed by the Emperor of Heaven Reverse. Six out of nine Progenitors died.

Which realm was Emperor of Heaven Reverse at? Was there higher realms than the Earth Immortal Realm? Lu Li did not know nor could he figure this out. But this didn't stop him from feeling astonished. Human Sovereign Realm warriors were powerful already. They could make the mountains fall and the earth split with a wave and level a city in one move. Earth Immortal Realm warriors were even more horrifying. But half of the 1000 warriors at the peak of this realm died in the hands of Emperor of Heaven Reverse…

Lu Li was not the only one exclaiming. Ye Cha and others had the same feeling. For them, Emperor of Heaven Reverse was an enemy because he was the culprit that had buried the glory of the 10,000 races, but he had earned admiration with his powers, be as an enemy or a friend.

Lu Li posed his question after a pause,

"God of Meng, there are realms above the Earth Immortal Realm?

"

"Yes?

"

God of Meng answered with certainty,

"Every chosen warrior of the human race can best the Barbarian Race, the Asmodians, the Feather Race, and the Voodoo Race. Those chosen warriors clearly are above the Earth Immortal Realm. In the Titan Race, we call them Progenitors. Maybe there are different names out there, but they all indicate warriors with abilities of such levels.

"

"It is certain—Emperor of Heaven Reverse is stronger than the chosen warriors so he has ascended to the heaven and become an immortal. It has been a very long time, but no human or anyone from any race has ever done that because nobody reached the realm Emperor of Heaven Reverse was at.

"

"Oh, I see!

"

Lu Li had a clearer idea now. If a warrior could reach a realm higher than the Earth Immortal Realm, the warrior would be a chosen warrior or a Progenitor. If the warrior could make further progress and reach the realm Emperor of Heaven Reverse was at, he or she could be qualified to ascend to the heaven and become an immortal.

Nobody could say for sure if a chosen warrior or a Progenitor could make a sea in one move, but God of Meng had spoken with certainty that Emperor of Heaven Reverse could. In that case, the Serene Cloud Sea might be created by him or else there wouldn't be such a legend.

While they were talking, they could faintly see the land ahead. God of Meng suddenly said,

"Don't talk anymore. There are scouts up front. We need to go around.

"

They went with God of Meng and took a detour. They even dived in and moved on in a low key. Whether they could save Lu Ling or not all depended on if they would be exposed. If yes, then the endeavor might fall short.

Taking a detour for an hour, God of Meng went ashore with the others. Pointing to the northeast, Third Patriarch said,

"Let's go this way. The Clouds Plains is very big, and we still have a long way to go. Because of the ongoing war, the Teleportation Formations are closed. To take them will be too obvious. People will notice.

"

"Okay!

"

It would cost them a couple more days, which they didn't mind. Remaining in a low key would guarantee their safety. With Third Patriarch showing the way, Ye Cha took the lead and went forward. Lu Li had asked Ye Cha to come so that he could be the scout. Cyan Phoenix Race had the best scouts in the world. With Ye Cha exploring the way, they didn't have to worry about being exposed.

God of Meng stopped inspecting with psychic power after Ye Cha began to explore the way. God of Meng had no doubt of the abilities of the Cyan Phoenix Race, not to mention that it was their Clan Leader.

Ye Cha left marks behind along the way. Third Patriarch followed the marks and it had proven to be a safe journey. They were on the road for half a day without seeing any warrior.

The path Ye Cha showed them was out of the way. He led them to the wild, which wasn't difficult for the team. They traveled on easily as if they were on firm earth. With one casual leap, they could go from one mountain to another.

Ke Mang had been maintaining a low profile. He rarely spoke and was respectful all the time. He didn't dare to be careless, not with God of Meng around. For Ke Mang, to be on a mission with God of Meng was a privilege.

Ke Mang had never been out of the Deserted World before. He was curious about the outside. His eyes brimmed with radiating vigor. He kept looking at the surroundings, taking everything in without feeling tired.

They marched on in silence. Eager and excited as Lu Li was, he didn't intend to engage in more conversation. He only sped up a bit so that they could arrive at the Drifting Cloud Region sooner.

Five days later, Lu Li decided that taking Ye Cha with them was the best decision. For the past five days, by following Ye Cha's mark, never once did they encounter any warrior. It seemed that there were too few warriors at the Clouds Plains for them to meet.

Lu Li could not tell how long they had traveled in five days. Even though they weren't at the top of their speed, they were fast already, being at the speed comparable to the Eternal Realm at least. They didn't take any rest for five days. By calculation, they would have crossed the entire Northern Desert.

"Whoosh~

"

Suddenly, Ye Cha came back. He cupped his fists and said to Lu Li,

"We will be arriving at the Drifting Cloud Region in one day. Ahead of us is the battleground. There are more than 10 million warriors in total from both sides of the fight and there are more scouts. So, our journey onward will be harder. Saint Lord, rest for half a day. We must conserve strength and store up energy so we can reach the Drifting Cloud Region in one fling.

"

"Alright!

"

Lu Li didn't feel tired but it was best for them to take some rest so their bodies and minds could be at the best state in case they had to deal with emergencies.

They found a valley. Third Patriarch went on a patrol nearby while Ye Cha stayed and fell asleep soon.

Both God of Meng and Ke Mang were sitting in meditation with their eyes closed to recharge. But Lu Li could not calm down. He kept looking toward the northeast, his eyes glaring.

He had been away from Lu Ling for far too long. In his head, Lu Ling's image was both clear and fuzzy. It was the first time after they were apart that he was in a place so close to her. His mind was boiling and he found it difficult to calm it down…

"Sister, wait for me. We will meet soon!

"

Lu Li murmured and forced himself into mediation and rest.
