C1000 Yuan Zun
There were close to a thousand meteors that were more than thirty meters in diameter, and there were also countless smaller meteors. Such a large meteor swarm extended for nearly a hundred kilometers in the starry sky, forming a huge meteor belt that was over ten kilometers in width and several kilometers in thickness. It was being driven forward by two thunder tribulations in the starry sky.
In truth, by now, the two Daofathers had lost complete control of the meteor belt, and so they could only rely on their own inertia to continue moving forward, maintaining a general direction. If they were to encounter another irresistible sniper attack, they probably wouldn't be able to reverse the direction of the meteor belt anymore.
"I should be at the agreed location soon, right?" Daoist Violet Garden was somewhat unsure.
Compared to Daoist Eastflow's fierce killing moves, Daoist Violet Garden's divine ability was mostly her control. Thus, the large amount of meteorites the two of them were driving were mostly controlled by Daoist Zi Yuan, while Daoist Eastflow had more guards by his side. At the same time, he was trying to find the best direction for Daoist Zi Yuan.
"They should be here soon. I just don't know if the others have arrived yet." Daoist Eastflow searched in every direction, but found nothing.
"You and I have no way to control this meteorite, so we can only follow through with it. Once we reunite with others, I'm afraid there will be an accident!" Daoist Violet Garden was extremely worried. She was certain that even if Dao Ancestor Huang Ting was here, she would not be able to control this meteorite belt right now.
Daoist Eastflow laughed. "That's because you haven't seen senior Yuanzun's divine abilities before!"
When Daoist Eastflow looked over, he discovered that the front part of the gigantic meteor belt had suddenly made a sharp turn in the air, silently escaping her control. Following that, the meteorite belt had also turned, and countless of meteors were moving in an orderly manner through it.
Even figures as powerful as Violet Garden and Eastflow had maintained sufficient reverence for the universe. Upon seeing such a strange scene, the Daoist of Purple Garden was somewhat flustered. She naturally knew just how great of a force it took to be able to easily reverse the direction of the gigantic meteorite belt.
After the initial panic, Taoist Dongliu quickly regained his composure and said, "Don't panic, it's the Lord Yuanzun!"
The two of them followed behind the meteorite and fled. After a moment, a huge meteorite community that was ten times bigger than the one they controlled gradually became clear under the duo's stupefied gazes.
The meteorite belt that was no longer under the control of the two of them was like a river flowing into a lake as it slowly began to merge with the large amount of meteorites.
Daoist Violet Garden was still looking at this rarely seen magnificent scene. Suddenly, she felt Daoist Eastflow signal to her.
Daoist Violet Garden's gaze followed the direction of Daoist Eastflow's gaze and saw that there was another meteorite belt converging into this area a few dozen kilometers away. However, this meteorite belt was clearly much faster than theirs and they only had one tail left, so it was impossible to estimate the original size of this meteorite belt.
Above this group of meteorites, there was another meteorite belt converging. This meteorite belt was just halfway in, so it could be roughly seen that it was thinner than the one between Zi Yuan and Dong Liu.
"Let's go up!"
Daoist Dongliu gestured, and the two of them instantly flew up into the sky. They saw an old man with a slightly hunched back, standing in the air with his hands behind his back, with a face full of wrinkles. Only his eyes were still sparkling as he was sizing up the sea of meteorites that was taking shape below him.
Around the old man, there were four cultivators like the Violet Garden and the Eastern Flows who had already returned.
"Greetings Lord Supreme Yuan. It is fortunate that I did not disappoint you!" The two Thunder Calamity Daoists respectfully bowed in front of this ordinary-looking old man.
The old man calmly looked at the two of them and said, "Correct, wait for a moment."
The two of them came to the other four cultivators' side and nodded to the other three. Daoist Dongliu cupped his hands in front of him and smiled, "Senior Zhan Yu, you have returned early!"
Saying this, the Daoist smiled and said, "The two of you are truly impressive. You have obviously just entered the realm of thunder tribulation, yet you can bring back such a huge meteorite belt!"
Daoist Eastflow waved his hand modestly, then laughed. "It seems the two of us aren't too late. The other four Daoists should be arriving soon as well."
As soon as Daoist Dongliu finished speaking, he sensed that the atmosphere had changed. The expressions of the four Daoists before him had become much more solemn.
Daoist Eastflow's heart sank. "What is it?"
Taoist Zhan Yu forced out a smile and said in a deep voice, "Just now, Senior Yuan Zun sensed that Fellow Icemountain and Fellow Xuan Qi might not be able to return."
"How is this possible?"
Daoist Violet Garden, who was at the side, exclaimed in a low voice, "Isn't Senior Icemountain from the Golden Hall Realm? Why is she …"
"Why is it impossible!"
A cultivator behind Daoist Zhan said in a cold voice, "Who knows how many great existences were hiding in this boundless space. The ice lotus and Xuan Qi have probably offended this cultivator, and even at that time, they probably wouldn't be much better than ants. We were just lucky and didn't encounter any real danger."
If there was a hidden meaning behind these words, Zi Yuan and Dong Liu both didn't dare to answer.
Daoist Zhan Yu reprimanded, "Fellow Daoist Pei Yu, please say less!"
Daoist Pei Yu was still indignant, but he looked into the distance as if he hadn't noticed their Senior Elder at all. In the end, he still didn't bring out his full wave of resentment.
Just when the other two asteroid belts had already returned to the meteor communities, and when most of the asteroid belts that Zi Yuan and Dong Liu brought back had already converged, another asteroid belt was quickly flying over.
"It's Brass Xu and Fellow Daoist Ban!" Daoist Pei Yu said to the distance.
"Fellow Daoists, you don't seem to have many gains. This meteorite belt doesn't look like much!" The person who spoke was Daoist Baihua, who was together with Daoist Pei Yu.
"No, these two are from the Golden Hall Realm. In terms of cultivation level, they are the best amongst the five pairs. How could they only bring so few meteorites back?"
Daoist Qiu was Daoist Master Zhuan's Dao-companion. The two had joined hands only after they had gone through their own tribulation of thunder.
Daoist Eastflow had noticed this as well. Puzzled, he asked, "Why do I see that you are the only one here?"
At this time, the Spirit Master Zhan's expression had already changed. "No, this is not right. The meteor that Fellow Daoist Bronze Beard was driven far too fast. He was basically running towards us. Fellow Bronze Beard is being chased down!"
As soon as Taoist Zhan Tian finished his sentence, he suddenly heard a roar that resonated in his mind, "Impudent!"
At the same time, at an extremely far place behind the meteorite that the bronze bearded Taoist had driven away, a small light source suddenly appeared. The light source quickly expanded, and in front of everyone's eyes, it expanded until it was like a ball of sunlight.
The front light source expanded until it condensed and disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, everyone was still unable to see anything in the distance because of the bright white light that filled their eyes.
By the time everyone had gotten rid of the dazzling brilliance, Supreme Yuan had already returned to his original position with his hands behind his back, giving off the illusion that he had never left before.
When the crowd's gaze turned to the Bronze-bearded Daoist, who had returned from the starry sky, they were all taken aback. They discovered that the meteorite that they had chased away was being blown away by the wind, while the Daoist was currently riding a flying light as he moved around, gathering together the scattered meteorite belt.
Just when everyone was considering whether they should lend a helping hand to Daoist Copper Whisker, they saw that the Lord Yuanzun only stretched out a hand. The scattered meteorites that were hundreds of miles away all seemed to be attracted and converged towards this large meteorite field.
Due to the fact that the Meteor Belt belonging to Priest Copper Xu was already sparse, and it had just been affected by the aftereffects of the battle between Supreme Yuan and an unknown existence, it was clearly much rarer. As a result, when these scattered meteorites returned to the Meteor Belt, Zi Yuan and the Eastern Flows had yet to fully integrate with it.
The bronze bearded man did not look like he was in a good situation. However, he first thanked the Supreme Yuan for saving his life before walking towards him.
"Fellow Daoist Bronze beard, Fellow Daoist Ban, he …." Daoist Qiu couldn't help but ask.
The bronze bearded man's expression was dejected as his eyes revealed a trace of fear. He shook his head and said, "Fellow cultivator Ban has already fallen!"
Even though everyone had expected this, hearing the death of a Taoist Huang Ting still shocked everyone present, especially existences like the Violet Garden and Eastflow who had just entered the Lightning Calamity Realm. The impact they felt was especially intense.
"What's going on?" Daoist Pei Yu seemed to be an impatient person and immediately asked.
Bronze Whiskered Daoist shook his head and said, "From start to finish, I don't know what happened. Fellow Daoist Ban just died not too far away from me without any forewarning."
At this point, Daoist Copper Haired still felt his heart palpitating. With a trembling voice, he said, "It must be the presence of the Immortal Realm. Otherwise, how could Fellow Bangwan, a dignified Daoist Huang Ting, die so silently? The reason why I am left alive is likely because I want to follow this lead and find this place. It is likely that I will implicate everyone this time around. "
Everyone fell silent as soon as Daoist Copper Whisker finished speaking.
Daoist Bai Hua forced a smile and said, "I believe that with Lord Supreme Yuan here, even fairyland beings would not dare to act rashly. Didn't Lord Yuan already chase after the existence behind Fellow Tong?"
Everyone smiled. They seemed to be more relaxed, but in reality, they were all thinking about something.
A moment later, the voice of the Lord Yuanzun rang out, "Alright, prepare to leave!"
The huge asteroid community was like a rolling but silent sea in the boundless starry sky, majestically spreading forward in the void.
