The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1028

(Unedited)

…

The dark and dreary space is an unforgiving and harsh environment. It is not a place where any living would want to find themselves. The space vacuum and freezing cold temperature itself would quickly kill a normal living organism. But in the vast space, there are still those that are able to survive. And those are being that has attained strength and unimaginable physique.

As of this moment, a figure of a man is currently floating in the dark void.

Shin Jiao has been traveling through the wormhole for some time. He has been following the looping tunnel of the wormhole for some time now. He is not aware of the time, as all he could see are the distorted lines on his side and the chaotic energy all around him.

The energy seems to be trying to rip his body apart, but it is not powerful enough to cause him some damage.

When he was sent to this place, the dragon emperor seems to be a bit confused. However, he was already informed by the latter about this, so he is not that surprised. He truly could not fathom how that emperor\'s mind works.

In fact, that being is the mastermind of all of these plans. He has been manipulating everything that has happened. He even predicted the 30 years span of time for Shin Jiao to find and kill the demon emperor. If he is not successful by that time, then everything would be lost.

The Heaven Samsara planet would be destroyed and once the tunnel to the higher plane appears, this would claim the lives of the immortals in the immortal land as fuel for the tunnel.

The dragon emperor has predicted such an event and has done everything he could to prevent this from happening. He even gave Shin Jiao some artifacts just in case. What he did not predict is the planet that the demons would be destroying.

When they discovered that the planet is the Heaven Samsara planet, Shin Jiao immediately knew that the artifacts that the dragon emperor has given would be useless in that place.

But of course, it is not that utterly useless in his return.

Suddenly, Shin Jiao noticed that the speed he is flying inside the space tunnel is starting to slow down.

Without warning, he found himself starring at a huge glowing formation in front of him.

"So this is the Heavenly Samsara gate…" he thought while looking at the huge formation.

When he shifted his gaze to the side, he noticed strange objects floating in that part of the void. When his eyes focused on one of those objects, he suddenly discovered that those huge stone-like objects are actually frozen bodies of giant beings. Those beings are as big as a mountain.

"Those are… the… the bodies of the deities…" he muttered to himself.

Shin Jiao knew that if he enters through the array in front of him, his soul will be stripped out of his physical body and would be sent to the Heavenly Samsara planet.

Shin Jiao calms himself down and then looks at his dimension. He is not sure if his dimension is in his soul or his body, but somehow he could feel that it is actually linked to both.

He then remembers that he has to check that thing that he has put in his soul if it would work or not. However, before he could do anything, he suddenly noticed the array formation in front of him that is floating in the void suddenly began moving.

"What… what is happening?" Shin Jiao suddenly feels a slight panic in his heart.

But before he could think, he suddenly felt a strong painful pull from some unknown place. It was like his consciousness was suddenly being dragged into the Dark Abyss by unknown power that he could not see or control.

Arrgghh!!!

Shin Jiao began to struggle as his soul is being drag out of his body. But the more he resist the more he could feel the pain.

"Resist not!" a voice suddenly enters Shin Jiao\'s mind.

He shifted his gaze and from the side, he saw a small speck of light floating towards him.

"Resist not!" the voice seems to come from that spec of light.

Upon hearing this, Shin Jiao was a bit skeptical. But still, he has no choice but to obey. He knew that his soul will be separated from his body; he just did not expect the pain.

As he lets go of his inhibition and resistance, the pain slowly subsided and he could feel his soul being taken out from his physical body. Then he saw his body slowly closing his eyes and lifelessly floating in the space.

The light then landed on his physical body and he noticed frost began forming as it covered him whole in no time.

While this is happening, Shin Jiao\'s soul is being dragged towards the large formation gate.

Shin Jiao could not help but feel helpless in his heart. Though he is aware that such a thing would happen and it needed to happen, no amount of preparation and experience could make him get ready for such a thing.

As his soul enters the formation, his head suddenly felt a strong jolt.

His soul froze on the spot and began to tremble and one memory after another was extracted from his mind.

He did not know what happened next as at that time, his consciousness is already starting to leave him before everything went black.

…

The Immortal land, Heaven and Earth city

At this time, the city is being attacked by a large number of demons and demonized beasts.

Their strength and power exceed that of the people in the city. This is because more than hundreds of them are in the lord and in the High Lord\'s realm.

With the presence of the vortex in the sky above the valley, the saint rulers are unable to help with the defenses as they need to control the rampaging energy from the vortex.

Ever since Shin Jiao enters the portals and the portals have closed, the vortex suddenly became chaotic. However, they could not go out and gain control of it as they could not even go near the valley now.

The fighting intensified in the city as the demons began to rampage on its walls. But they are unable to enter Heaven and Earth city because of its strong defenses set up.

Right at this moment, a few high-ranking demons and Shadow Being are heading towards the valley secretly.

They have already taken down a few of the guards guarding the valley and have now entered its vicinity.

"We should set up the portals… the masters have said that the emperor has failed was instead fell in his own trap." A Shadow Being said.

"So it is up to us to fix their mistake?…" a demon said.

"Stop talking and move quickly…" a tall figure berated the two.

This tall figure is the lich that has been hunting Shin Jiao. He and the succubus were called to assist the army. They failed to lay their traps or enter the town because of the holy barrier protecting it. But they were still able to demonize some of the beasts in the surroundings and commanded them to attack the town.

"Hey, lich… Should we also enter the portal once it is opened?" the succubus on his side said with a sly smile on her face.

"Are you stupid? The portal is not stable and would rip apart those that enter it. We would use the demons to test out the stability until we are able to control it properly." The lich said with his expressionless skull face.

"After the demon emperor stabilizes the portal on their side, that\'s the time when we can enter it." The lich added.

While the two are talking, the group has already reached the side of the valley where the Shadow Being Yol-gar was when he took control of the valley\'s formation.

They walk to the place where the Shadow Being was previously controlling the formation and quickly began to set up another formation in that part.

"We have the coordinates now…" the lich suddenly said after a while.

After that, the array they formed was suddenly destroyed by an unknown force which they the group by the strong blast.

Some of the demons even died in that single blast while the rest limply walks out of that place.

The group soon retreated from the valley. Along with their retreat is the strange phenomenon where the demonized beasts began to lessen.

The city also noticed that the demons commanding the rampaging beasts has suddenly disappeared and are now not in the area.

The immortals were a bit confused at this scene, but they did not lower their vigilance.

This same event is happening in the whole of immortal land. After causing such ruckus which resulted in far too many deaths and destruction, the demons seem to once again disappear in the face of the land. And this has caused everyone to feel wary and on the edge.

No one knows when those demons would once again emerge and attack.
