Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

1075 Desperate & Fierce Resistance

"Is it possible to get someone else involved?" asked the Cult Leader stiffly. "For example, a world not affiliated with the Commerce Hub, preferably one with a natural disposition or culture of war and conquest?"

"This idea is only feasible on paper," said Golden Fist. "We are currently completely isolated, and I doubt our enemy would give us the slightest chance to contact any aid. And just the fact that no one had tried to benefit in this conflict is further proof of the people's fear of the First Heavenly Emperor."

Many worlds love to make a profit during times of war. They will sell resources at high prices or exchange for rarer ones, provide manpower in the form of mercenaries or even lend their armies, and sell information. However, none of this has happened. The entire world is watching this war, but everyone is quiet.

Even the Corpse Selling Sect, which is always present in every conflict and collects bodies by any means necessary, did not show up.

"So, are we just going to give up because of the difficulty?" continued the Cult Leader. "In the current situation, foreign aid is our best option."

The room became silent. As much as they hated foreigners, these martial artists understood after this first battle that they desperately needed help.

"Sir Liu Hu, what do you think?" asked Qian Heng.

"We can try to send a signal for aid, but our best choice would be to send emissaries through the Source Qi Space and hope they pass this blockade."

Qian Heng and many people secretly groaned after hearing this. Navigating the Source Qi Space was virtually impossible because of how vast and complex it was. While it's technically possible to use it to travel from one world community to another, what is most likely to happen is someone being lost or ending somewhere in Primordial Chaos. Only Paragons can navigate the Source Qi Space, but only a few.

So, whoever is sent as an emissary has a low chance of succeeding - even if blessed with tremendous luck - or surviving.

"Then, we'll do that," nodded Qian Heng. "If you have more ideas, state them?" The meeting continued for a few more hours, and they discussed many ways to resist, including providing the resources for Lightning Fist to return to her peak. Once everything was discussed and agreed upon, Qian Heng finally had a moment to himself.

He ensured he was alone before raising his hand. Someone appeared before him a few minutes later. "I need you to continue what you started." After setting things here, he rushed to the islands to see the Monster Sovereign and that old turtle.

Outside of the Martial Hegemony World:

Countless powerhouses attacked the world protective shield relentlessly. It was a sight to see as hundreds of Immortal, Dao, and Emperor Artifacts shone with brilliant lights. Array Masters were constantly analyzing the formation to find or create weaknesses.

"Commander, we've intercepted a distress signal," said one of the lead Array Master.

"Distress Signal?"

"Yes. We've blocked the entire world, preventing them from teleporting or communicating with the outside world. However, they used vibration from the World Shield to ask for help. What should we do? Do we just block, or do you have any other plans?"

Tie Gang thought momentarily, "Just block it."

"No, release it," suddenly said Wang Wei. "Let's see if we can bait others into intervening in this conflict."

"As you wish, your majesty."

"No problem."

"Also, I will send the Array Virus and test to see if they are useful," Wang Wei added.

"Excellent," commented Tie Gang. The last time the Array Virus showed a public appearance was during the Heaven Chosen Trial. However, after so many years, the thing has been optimized and further developed by many people, including Miscellaneous One.

Soon, the team received a red disk that somewhat resembled formation disks. After being instructed on what to do, they activated the item. As expected, the speed of breaking through the formation suddenly accelerated. It would have been broken instantly if not for the Martial Arts Wills empowering this shield.

Bang!

Huo Fenghuang's sword was the last attack that broke the shield. The soldiers cheered, but no one rushed. Tie Gang, Ao Shen, and Huo Fenghuang led a small group of soldiers inside as a vanguard.

As soon as they stepped into the world, something exploded. Luckily, these people were at the top of the power ceiling, and this attempt was pointless to them.

"What happened?" asked Tie Gang, who could not see anything around him no matter where he looked.

"We're surrounded by formations," explained Huo Fenghuang with a frown. "More importantly, these formations can even hide from my sight." Not only were these things invisible, but the world was surrounded by a fog that isolated visions and divine sense.

"How is that possible?"

"This world's Heavenly Dao was willing to waste much World Source to aid its people," explained Ao Shen, who noticed the fog and other anomalous things.

"Can you deal with them?" asked Tie Gang.

"Let's just detonate all of them," said Huo Fenghuang before she started attacking everything with her sight. She did not go all out since she needed to preserve this world, but her actions were successful. Most of the hidden formations detonated upon coming into contact with her attacks.

"We should be careful as these people seemed ready," warned Ao Shen, and Tie Gang nodded. He sensed the abnormal temporal energy in the surroundings and had an inkling of what these people did.

"Can our soldiers land?" asked Tie Gang.

"No problem, but there seem to be many hidden things in this world," warned Huo Fenghuang.

"At this point, will conquering this world even be worth it?" asked the dark dragon. After using so much World Source to defend themselves, they might only acquire a shelf of a world.

"You've forgotten they've established a court, so they must have saved a lot of World Source," reminded Huo Fenghuang.

"You're right. Plus, as long as this place is still a Heaven Will World, it should be worth it."

Tie Gang had called the troops to land on this world while warning them of the danger. He plans to settle everyone before sending a scouting regiment to prepare for the unseen. Tie Gang suddenly heard a loud sound while discussing how to proceed with the War Room.

"Watch out," yelled Huo Fenghuang.

Boom!

All the soldiers were engulfed in a firestorm followed by intense poisonous ashes. Luckily, she reacted fast enough and protected everyone.

"Was that a volcano explosion?" asked one of the officers. However, the latter's words did not end as the ground surrounding their location began to tremble and collapse. The soldiers had to stay in the air to prevent them from falling, but then, the gravity in their area suddenly increased a million times. Without the immortal's help, these soldiers would have become meat paste.

"What's going on?"

"It's like the entire world is fighting against us."

"That's because it is," said Huo Fenghuang, looking in the distance. "It's treating us as invading species or parasites." Her words were immediately proven correct as the temperature around them suddenly dropped to an abysmal level. In this weather, even a Quasi-Emperor will freeze to death.

"All Saints and above, deploy your domain and regulate our surroundings," ordered Tie Gang, and the soldiers followed his orders. With billions of domains, their landing spot became a place whose laws or rules of Heaven and Earth were no longer under Heavenly Dao's control.

"I think we should be safe for now," muttered a soldier, and his companion wanted to shush him so as not to jinx things. Unfortunately, it was too late as low-level soldiers began to fall to the ground with dark veins on their necks and bodies.

"What is it this time?" complained Tie Gang as he rushed to check the nearest soldiers, and as expected, he could not see anything.

"Those martial artists are really desperate," commented Ao Shen.

"What happened?" asked Tie Gang.

"They've corrupted the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth," explained Huo Fenghuang. "Anyone who absorbs any energy in this place will be poisoned."

Tie Gan groaned. Only Immortals have genuinely escaped the shackles of Qi. Tier 7 to 9 might have a very low reliance, but they still need it. Meanwhile, anyone of Tier 6 and lower cannot survive long without absorbing Qi to replenish their Origin Essence.

"From now on, all soldiers can only use pills to recuperate their Qi," ordered Tie Gang before pausing. "Wait. The War Room ordered you four to open small breaches in the Source Qi Space to provide energy for the soldiers; that'll be more cost-effective."

"Will that count as part of our military exploits?"

"Yes," nodded Tie Gang, so the Eternal Powerhouses started acting in their order. After adequate rest, enough Qi, and without worrying about mother nature literally killing them, the group advanced inland, further into the fog. Tie Gang decided to gather more information before making an adequate plan.
