Merging with Demon Spirits-Chapter 453 - 229: Born in the Wrong Era

As soon as Yang Qing finished speaking, everyone seemed to feel a flash of thunder fall on their heads, their brains buzzing.

Everyone present was a King Level warrior without exception.

Though powerful and long accustomed to high positions, they still changed color at the news, showing fear on their faces.

Although they knew the situation was becoming increasingly dire and far from optimistic, it shouldn’t have reached this point yet.

"Is it true? How do you know?"

Even though they knew Yang Qing was unlikely to joke, someone couldn’t help but ask.

They looked at Yang Qing expectantly like children, hoping to see Yang Qing smile and say, "Just kidding!"

But no, facing everyone’s gaze, Yang Qing said coldly:

"I have a Key within me, so I can sense it in advance! Anyone with a Key can sense it; the news should spread soon!"

Yang Qing’s words slowly made the atmosphere on the scene somewhat dead silent.

The last trace of naive fantasy disappeared.

"Is it ahead of schedule?"

Yang Qingtian sighed.

The fusion of Other-dimensional Space Gates is no secret!

The Space Gate suppresses the power of those who enter because the space is unstable.

Based on the degree of suppression on Cultivators, countries worldwide classify Space Gates into ten Star Levels.

One-Star to Ten-Star.

The lower the Star Level, the more unstable the Space Gate is proven to be.

Due to this instability, it becomes extremely sensitive to energy sensing.

If someone entering the space has too much power and energy fluctuations, their strength will be suppressed.

If an attack exceeds the intensity limits of the space, a spatial rift may occur, and the space could even collapse.

Yet this instability and suppression of power are not unchangeable.

When Other-dimensional Space Gates first appeared, they were just tiny cracks, and even when they expanded to accommodate people, they were just One-star Level Space Gates, very unstable.

Even firing a single rocket could cause a spatial rift.

This is also why the Alien Race chose to spy in secret rather than invade directly.

Following the increase of Spiritual Power, the level of appearing Space Gates has gotten higher.

It might be One-Star or Nine-Star.

A One-Star Space Gate does not always remain at the One-star Level.

As time goes on, Space Gates become more stable.

Therefore, after a decade or so, new Demon Beast species emerge within Other-dimensional Space Gates, and these beasts have higher levels.

At this time, the Space Gate’s Star Level will be re-evaluated.

Initially, when Spiritual Power first appeared, advancing a One-star Level Space Gate to Two-star required over a decade.

But now, not only is the frequency of Space Gates appearing higher, but their stabilization speed is also faster.

Some One-Star Space Gates took less than two years to advance to Three-Star, dozens of times faster than before.

This is one of the reasons the situation is becoming more severe.

The higher the Star Level of the Space Gate, the longer it takes to stabilize and rise in Star Level.

A Nine-Star Level Space Gate takes several decades to advance to Ten-Star.

A Ten-Star Level Space Gate is called a "disaster."

This level of Space Gate is already very stable, not only can Kings enter but also Emperors can, although they still experience strength suppression and cannot exert full power.

Currently, Huaxia has seven ’disaster-grade’ Other-dimensional Space Gates.

Many of Huaxia’s Thirteen Emperors have been unseen for years because they must garrison these seven Space Gates to prevent the incursion of Alien Race masters.

This is also the reason for the Sha Mi riots without the appearance of Emperors.

In times of non-emergency, Emperors will not leave the Space Gates they are suppressing easily.

"Didn’t they say it would take at least another decade before a fusion might occur?"

A Guardian grumbled in desperation.

Even though the highest evaluation for Space Gates is only Ten-Star now,

Even a Ten-Star Space Gate continues to stabilize.

In the future, there might be an Eleven-Star Level Space Gate.

By that time, the space within a Space Gate will resemble a Base City.

No one will experience suppression.

Even Emperors could fight freely, without worrying about space collapse.

More terrifying is, based on research and speculation, if reaching Eleven-Star Level, that Space Gate could very likely merge with its region.

This is the most severe consequence.

Fusion means that Space Gate can no longer be forcibly closed.

Previously, if a Space Gate was too far or too dangerous to control, it could be closed by repeated missile bombardment.

If forcibly closed, the spatial region would collapse and vanish.

This is also why the Alien Race dares not truly invade.

But now, if a Space Gate successfully fuses, it means that an Alien Race invasion is imminent.

"Perhaps someone used some means to shorten the stabilization time of the Space Gate, causing a forced fusion!" someone speculated.

"Sha Mi is just a cover; their real goal is to fuse the Elemental Space Gate."

A Guardian looked at Sha Mi, suddenly realizing.

At this moment, everything irrational had an explanation.

Such actions alone could make those cowardly rats emerge.

Everyone’s gaze turned southwest.

There lies Shangjing’s only Ten-Star Space Gate, the ’Land of Chaos.’

Knowing the Alien Race’s purpose, there was no further reason to remain here.

Yang Qingtian said: "Leaving five to watch Sha Mi is enough, we should go to the ’Land of Chaos’ and see..."

Before he could finish, his voice suddenly stopped, the air gently trembled, and a wave of Spiritual Power surged from the southwest like a tide, so dense it suffocated the breath.

The southwestern sky was painted in colors.

Without further ado, everyone swiftly flew toward that sky.

"It’s really starting."

Someone looked at that splendid sky and murmured.

At this moment, there was no need for doubt; the tide of Spiritual Power told them the Space Gate had begun to fuse.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a flux of Spiritual Power.

This fluctuation is a hundred times stronger than when a new Space Gate appears.

"Heh heh, your good days are over; the nightmare begins."

As a Demon Beast from the Divine Martial Continent, Sha Mi apparently knew more; it didn’t continue attacking the cage but laughed proudly, the sound extremely shrill.

At this moment, not only many strong ones but everyone could feel the strong wave of Spiritual Power.

Lin Feng was also looking at the colorful sky with confusion and fear in his eyes.

This scene seemed familiar.

In memory, when Jiang City was slaughtered, the Spiritual Power fluctuations were also significant, and a similar colorful sky appeared.

But the City Slaughtering in White happened during the day; now it’s night, making it more prominent and shocking.

Could a disaster like Jiang City’s be about to happen again?

Some were puzzled, not knowing what was happening, but others instantly turned pale, feeling the sky was about to fall.

"The end of the world is coming!"

An old man murmured, eyes filled with endless despair.

Even Bu Zheng seemed bewildered and at a loss now.

"What’s wrong?"

Although not knowing exactly what had happened, Lin Feng knew it was very serious.

Far more serious than the appearance of Sha Mi.

"The Space Gate has begun to fuse."

Bu Zheng came back to his senses, looked at Lin Feng, and said.

A single sentence turned Lin Feng’s face pale, his body slightly trembling, with bloody and horrific images flashing in his mind.

"Has it come early?"

Lin Feng clenched his fists, forcefully suppressing his inner fear.

Once facing the annihilation of Jiang City and the slaughter nightmare of billions, Lin Feng knew that the day of Alien Race invasion would inevitably arrive.

Originally, it was thought to be seven or eight years later, but it hadn’t been anticipated to come early.

"You were born in the wrong era!"

Looking at Lin Feng and others in front, Bu Zheng sighed, a hint of sadness looming.

These young men and women were all heavenly talents, possessing Ancestral Demonization, Divine Level Demon Spirits, Divine Level Soul Skills; each could become a King Level warrior.

And Lin Feng was a Demon Fiend among Demon Fiends.

He was someone even Bu Zheng couldn’t understand.

Lin Feng’s future was unpredictable to him.

Perhaps in less than ten years, he would shake the world.

These super geniuses, gifted, diligent, and resource-rich, lacked only time.

But now, time seemed to have run out.

With the fusion of Space Gates, the time for Alien Race invasion seems to be dawning.

"Perhaps someone has used some means to shorten the stabilization time of this Space Gate, forcing fusion!" someone speculated.

"Sha Mi’s uproar was just a distraction; their real aim is to fuse the Elemental Space Gate."

This dawned on a Guardian as he looked at Sha Mi with a flash of realization.

At that moment, all previous illogicalities found an explanation.

Only somewhat drastic actions could make those cowardly rats surface.

Everyone turned their eyes towards the southwest.

There lied Shangjing’s only Ten-Star Space Gate, the ’Land of Chaos.’

Since they knew the Alien Race’s goal, it was no longer necessary to stay here any longer.

Yang Qingtian spoke: "Leaving five to keep an eye on Sha Mi is enough, we should head to the ’Land of Chaos’ to see..."

Before he finished speaking, his voice was abruptly cut off, the air slightly vibrating, a wave of Spiritual Power gushed like a tide from the southwest, so thick it was almost suffocating to breathe.

The sky in the southwest was painted in colors.

Without delay, everyone swiftly flew towards that sky.

"It’s really begun."

Someone looked at the spectacular sky, muttering.

At this moment, there was no need for doubt; the Spiritual Power tide revealed that the Space Gate had started to fuse.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such an energy fluctuation.

"Perhaps someone used some method to shorten the stabilization of this Space Gate, forcing fusion!" someone guessed.

"Sha Mi is just a smokescreen; their true purpose is to fuse the Elemental Space Gate."

A Guardian looked at Sha Mi, suddenly understanding.

At that moment, everything unreasonable was explained.

Only such actions could cause those cowardly rats to appear.

The crowd turned toward the southwest.

There is Shangjing’s only Ten-Star Space Gate, the ’Land of Chaos.’

Since they knew the Alien Race’s purpose, there was no longer a need to stay here.

Yang Qingtian began to speak: "Leaving five to keep an eye on Sha Mi is enough, let’s go to the ’Land of Chaos’ to see..."

Before finishing his words, the voice abruptly stopped, the air trembled slightly, and a wave of Spiritual Power surged like a tide from the southwest, so dense that it felt stifling to breathe.

The southwestern sky was rendered in colors.

Without further words, everyone quickly flew towards that part of the sky.

"It’s really started."

Someone looked at the magnificent sky, murmuring to themselves.

In that moment, there was no use in doubt; the Spiritual Tide evidenced that the Space Gate had already begun to merge.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a Spiritual Power fluctuation.
