Chapter 202
As he was calmly cultivating, Arthur suddenly opened his eyes and activated [Eyes of The Noble Sea] only to see a surge of Nether Energy rising from the ground, the energy seemed to be dragged by a formless object which then turned it into something else .
Like raging tidal waves, the Nether Energy swirled and winds howled as a numbingly gigantic bronze gate appeared above the city .
Within his room, Arthur stared at the gate using his skill but could only see gray, almost colorless fog enveloping the gate . He instantly knew that the time was right and the gate was opening .
Actually, although it is called opening, the Kang Family cannot open it whenever they want, it’s just doable when the gate, which is the portal between this world and the other small realm, becomes weakened .
As he came out of his room and flew to the sky, he could see hundreds, or perhaps, thousands of people flying towards the gate . Soon enough, a crowd of ten thousand people of various races was floating above the city, it was like a dark curtain that blocked the sun rays .
The crowd was soon divided into several large groups, each was a faction of its own or several hundred sect disciples which came for this event from outside the wall .
Arthur, disguising as the usual youth with white, long sleeves, robe, joined a neutral group of rogue cultivators and silently glanced at each of the factions before setting his eyes on the gate, which was still tightly closed .
There was a group belonging to the Pigolo Race with Ti Fuer, one of the two Gods under Ti Eru, the leader of the tribe . Ti Fuer brought a few dozen young disciples who were talented and intended to send them in . Amongst this group, Arthur noticed a familiar figure with an arm missing . She was wearing a green metal armor and a sword on her back . She was Rose, the general who he possessed and forced to cooperate with him .
Ehrendil from the Desert Gargoyles also brought a group and the two powers were glaring at each other, not hiding the hate or killing intent but despite being archenemies, they didn’t dare fight it out here as they were not the big bosses this time around .
There were a lot more factions coming from outside of the wall but there were only three that stood out from the rest . The first was a bit strange since it was only a lonely figure floating by herself as everyone stayed away from her . It was the same black-haired girl that tried to steal Arthur’s food then unsuccessfully tracked him . She had big power behind her and it was by no means inferior to the powers behind the prodigies of the Green-Leaf Middle Realm .
The second distinguishable power was a bunch of blue-robed juniors with three old men leading them . Just in front of the three elders stood a scholarly young man with an azure robe with a dragon twirling around it . He had handsome facial features and a peaceful look . The young man exuded a unique charm that attracted the gazes towards him and made him shine even more .
This was, without doubt, Kai Min, the person who a lot of people were talking about the last few weeks .
’If that’s the Water Cloud Sect then . . . . ’
Arthur’s eyes narrowed as he fixated his gaze on that group of people and saw an almost invisible figure that couldn’t be seen by anyone . It seemed as if it was shrouded with space, or simply blended with it . Arthur didn’t spread his sense and activated Appraisal .
Although at the first stages, Appraisal couldn’t appraise things from within a limited range, the more he leveled the bigger the range . Basically, the range is as big as the map and he could appraise anything within his eyesight, of course .
Qualu Bahl (Race: Human): 8th Grade (Peak) God Realm .
Age: 3,200 .
Unique Title : ’Space Bender’
Arthur was surprised to see the true strength of the Spatial Master . Gutcha told him that the Spatial Master invited by the Water Cloud Sect is a peak Small God, at most, he expected him to be at the 6th Grade . But now the reality presented itself to him .
His gaze landed on the three old men behind Kai Min and with a ’ting’ sound, three blue windows popped in front of him .
Teltish Coldrest (Race : Human) : 6th Grade (Middle) God Realm .
Age : 1,024
Krores Glareforce (Race : Human) : 7th Grade (Peak) God Realm .
Age : 1,894
Sorrosh Keenfold (Race : Human) : 6th Grade (Initial) God Realm .
Age: 1,551
Seeing the power of the three Gods, Arthur took a deep breath and calmed his mind . Although the plan was extremely difficult, it was not impossible . He had, at least, expected these protectors to be this strong but the Spatial Master was on another level . Not only was he an 8th Grade, he can also control space and is the first person Arthur encountered who has a unique title . Not only that, it’s the oldest being he saw since his reincarnation .
His thoughts deviated for a bit before he closed his eyes for a few seconds and went through the plan a few times while changing a few things . Unlike these youngsters, his goal was not the tomb but the Spatial Master, and with his current identity, he won’t be able to get close without raising suspicion .
He must attacks at the most unexpected moment, the most perfect one . Just when the enemy is wholly unprepared to be ambushed, it must be decisive and there has to be no room for a long fight, one blow to finish it all or it’s a failure . To fight four Gods is suicide, even for Arthur with all his arsenal of skills and his high stats .
He had confidence in fighting two gods on a standstill or perhaps even killing one, but once it becomes three against one then he could only block, dodge, or flee .
As for four against one, he could only escape desperately . As his plan was corrected, Arthur’s eyes shifted to the handsome young man, who was the closest to the invisible figure .
’From the looks of it, the Spatial Master is acting like a hidden guardian of some sort so it means that there will be a time when the kid will need of this hidden guy, but since he is always near him . . . . it’ll be difficult to possess him . However . . . I could always rely on someone else, after all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend!’
Arthur’s eyes focused on the third group . They wore tight red clothes made from special silk and stood arrogantly, taking more space than needed . At the center of this group were two elderly figures, one old woman and the other is a short old man . Just in front of those two was a red-haired youth with a woman standing just inches behind him . The young man proudly stood there with a haughty expression and an oppressive demeanor .
Seeing the look on the young man’s face, Arthur laughed inside as he imagined what’s about to come . [Sneak] was activated to reduce his presence even more and his figure turned a bit blurry . Unless someone focuses on that spot then no one would notice him, he merged with the crowd of rogue cultivators who took a spot of their own and waited there patiently .
