Deities: Starting From Goblins - Chapter 710

Chapter 710: Chapter 430: Every Human Has a Set Lifespan, All for…_2

There was one other person in the room who was exceedingly anxious, and that was the Holy Daoist who had come with Logan. Logan was here to obtain the Immortal Fruit; if something unforeseen happened in the Immortal Realm, what would he do?

An intricate net was already half woven, but Logan’s spiritual power had reached its limit. Unlike physical strength, spiritual power couldn’t be replenished in a moment; it required at least ten days to half a month of recuperation. Yet, if Logan left now, all would be in vain.

What should be done in such a situation? Logan himself was fraught with headache. Although Oliver Bennett had array masters at his disposal, their lackluster skills meant they could only manage to weave ordinary Spiritual Power nets. Anything related to the Great Law Principles was out of the question—they certainly wouldn’t be of any help.

Must he rely solely on himself? Logan questioned internally, convinced there must be a solution if only he had enough time. Suddenly, he turned his gaze towards Oliver Bennett. After all, Oliver Bennett had achieved the Half-step Saint Emperor Realm and might be able to assist him.

“My spiritual power is insufficient; it must be replenished, or my spiritual power must be amplified!” Logan exclaimed loudly, which gave Oliver Bennett a headache. If Logan’s physical energy was low, that could be solved, but what about his spiritual power?

“City Lord, there’s a solution. We simply need to channel the Law’s Force into Logan, so he won’t need to expend so much spiritual power in weaving the net. Wouldn’t that make things much easier?”

Seeing that Oliver Bennett was at a loss, the Blackwood City Master spoke up, “Logan has already woven much of it, and he’s our only hope at present. We can’t let him fail, can we?”

“I have no objection to that; the problem is, if the two of us assist him, who here could prevent Di Luan Hai from causing sabatoge should he take the opportunity to do so?”

Oliver Bennett exhaled deeply. From Di Luan Hai’s recent behavior, it was apparent that he had ulterior motives, and he perhaps didn’t even wish for the restoration of the Immortal Realm.

The Blackwood City Master nodded in agreement. Oliver Bennett’s words made a lot of sense. When Di Luan Hai falsely accused him earlier, he felt utterly baffled, which possibly indicated that Oliver Bennett’s suspicions were correct.

Although the Sanctuary Powerhouses were present in numbers, Di Luan Hai was after all a ninth-tier Sanctuary Powerhouse; truly unmatched. Should he decide to strike while the others were vulnerable, both he and Oliver Bennett could perish.

“Let’s do this: you infuse the Law’s Force, and I’ll keep my eyes on Di Luan Hai. If he so much as twitches suspiciously, I’ll immediately prevent him from acting.”

After much consideration, the Blackwood City Master could only come up with a compromise. Even though it only reduced half of Logan’s burden, there was no other way.

Oliver Bennett agreed and flew to Logan’s side. With the powerful Law’s Force pouring in, Logan, who initially needed a massive amount of spiritual power to weave the Law’s Force, now found it much effortless with Oliver Bennett’s pure Great Law Principles aiding him. The weaving seemed almost naturally perfected.

“Fantastic, with Logan and Oliver Bennett working together, I believe the Immortal Realm will certainly be restored to peace, and we won’t have to live in unease like these past few days!”

“The reputation of the Grandmaster Array Master is well deserved. I underestimated Logan yesterday; it was indeed inexcusable. Once this is over, I must certainly apologize to him!”

“With such a great favor bestowed upon the Immortal Realm by Logan, we must reward him handsomely. Not to mention the two hundred top-grade Spirit Stones he spent, even if it were ten times that amount, it would not be excessive!”

Over a thousand people chattered back and forth as if the rift had already been sealed, but there was one person on site with a darkened countenance—Di Luan Hai, who had just then walked to a side.

Cold sweat dripped down Logan’s forehead. Now, the net was nearly finished, but the pressure remained substantial. Not a single mistake could be afforded at this moment, or everything would fall apart.

Just then, while out of sight, Di Luan Hai concocted a Divine Skill attack, covertly glancing around to ensure no one noticed him before suddenly launching it toward Oliver Bennett.

This moment shocked everyone; no one had expected Di Luan Hai to strike so abruptly. What was he trying to accomplish? Did he wish to destroy the entire Immortal Realm?

The disciples of the Immortal Celestial Gate immediately tried to block him, but Di Luan Hai was too powerful; they simply couldn’t stop him, and could only watch as he accomplished his goal.

However, at the critical moment, the Blackwood City Master launched an attack that preempted the other, dispelling the assault and sending Di Xuanhai reeling back by over ten meters.

“Aren’t you being a bit too hasty? I’ve been watching you since earlier, and you’re not quite right. And now you’ve gone so far as to try a sneak attack? What deep hatred do you harbor against the Immortal Realm?”

The Blackwood City Master let out a cold laugh. He didn’t understand—Di Xuanhai could resent him or be unhappy with outsiders like Logan, but why would he now target Oliver Bennett?

The over a thousand people present quickly surrounded Di Xuanhai, and the several hundred disciples from his sect were at a loss about what to do.

Since he had been exposed, Di Xuanhai gave up pretending: “I have been in the Immortal Realm for so many years, working so hard. Why can I only be the Sect Leader of the second biggest sect? Why is Oliver Bennett the strongest? Why is the Immortal Celestial Gate the biggest? Is any of this fair?”

“I’m not satisfied. I’m the one who has the most hope of breaking through to the Saint Emperor. But since I can’t have it, then let the entire Immortal Realm be destroyed. Once we lose the Great Law fate of the Immortal Realm, I don’t believe Oliver Bennett will still be the strongest one. Perhaps everything could change in my favor!”

“I admit that seven days ago, during my training in Cloud Valley, I took actions that caused a crack, leading to the situation we face today. But what if I am the culprit? I am still the Sect Leader of Earth Profound Sect. Who among you dares to fight me to the death?”

Di Xuanhai looked disdainful. The Earth Profound Sect was one of the two major powers of the Immortal Realm. If they chose to fight him, it would eventually lead to a struggle within the Immortal Realm. Could the entire realm withstand it?

“Blaming heaven and others for your lesser talent? Besides, as the second strongest in the Immortal Realm, you have already surpassed what many cultivators in a myriad of worlds can achieve. What more could you want?”

The Blackwood City Master scoffed, full of disdain. “Also, have you not considered, if I joined forces with Oliver Bennett, would your Earth Profound Sect surely be our match?”

Njust the Immortal Celestial Gate alone would be enough to crush the Earth Profound Sect. If he were to bring along the strong ones from Blackwood City as well, Di Xuanhai probably wouldn’t last three days.

The most critical point was that Di Xuanhai underestimated Oliver Bennett. There’s a huge gap between the nine levels of Sanctuary Powerhouse and being a half-step away from the Saint Emperor. If Di Xuanhai insisted on fighting Oliver Bennett, how many would dare to help Di Xuanhai? It was likely that even his own sect members would disagree.

A large net has already been woven; the next step was to place the Law’s net over the crack, and using array techniques, seamlessly integrate the two, which is the last and most vital step.

Oliver Bennett was well aware of all that was happening outside, yet frustratingly, he could not move even half a step. He could only hope that the Blackwood City Master could hold off Di Xuanhai from causing trouble at this crucial time.

Logan placed the large net onto the maelstrom, and immediately a surge of immense force burst forth, met with resistance from the Immortal Realm, as if heaven and earth were on the brink of collapse.

The array was now operating on its own, swallowing the excessive force of the Law while countless runes were being cast out, continuously blending the repulsive forces of the two, and shaping the net’s Law to match the maelstrom. For this, Logan used twenty Top-Grade Spirit Stones to stabilize the situation.

His spiritual power was at its limit, but at this final stage, Logan had to endure. This scene made Oliver Bennett feel solemn; even if Logan had asked for ten Immortal Fruits instead of just one, wouldn’t it have been justified? For such a service to the Immortal Realm, he deserved it all.

Di Xuanhai, unwilling to allow the Immortal Realm to recover, attempted another sneak attack while confronting the Blackwood City Master. However, this time, not only was the Blackwood City Master prepared, but the thousands surrounding Di Xuanhai also struck together, thwarting his attack entirely and preventing him from moving even half a step.

“All of you back off, or I’ll start a massacre!” Di Xuanhai threatened, but of the thousands present, no one retreated.

Everyone present was at least at the Quasi-Saint level. Even though Di Xuanhai was a formidable nine-level Sanctuary Powerhouse, the idea of him slaying a lower-tier Sanctuary Powerhouse within a few rounds was as difficult as reaching the heavens. The gap between Sanctuary Powerhouses was not vast, especially when the discrepancy in their numbers was so large.

“Di Xuanhai, are you still so obstinate?” The Blackwood City Master shook his head—he had been patient again and again, but Di Xuanhai still didn’t get it, insisting on making enemies with everyone.

Seeing no alternative, Di Xuanhai had no choice but to engage in combat. From the moment he launched a sneak attack on Oliver Bennett, he knew there was no turning back.
