Chereads / Heaven Smiting God Emperor / Chapter 44 - Northern Border

Chapter 44 - Northern Border

Whoosh...

After everyone entered the ark, the flying ark immediately flew out of the capital of the Qin kingdom.

Even though the flight speed was still much slower when compared to the golden eagle's flight speed, yet it still reached the flying speed of the first layer Transcendent expert.

Unlike the outer appearance that looks like an ancient ship, the inside of the ark actually looks very luxurious.

There is a hall in the ark with rows of chairs and tables neatly arranged, complete with drinks and fruits on the table.

There are even many rooms devoted to passengers to rest and cultivate on their way.

In the ark, all the royal warriors were already seated in the seats reserved for them.

According to the aura they emitted, Qin Tian could tell that there were at least thirty-five people who had reached the Semi-Transcendent realm. Four people have reached the late stage while ten people have reached the middle stage, and the rest are in the early stages.

As for the Spiritual realm? There are more than two hundred of them.

Regardless of where they sat, they were all currently staring at Qin Tian who was sitting at the same table as the Semi-Transcendent level warriors.

Right now they were discussing about spiritual beasts that were attacking the border.

"According to information, there are about fifty Semi-Transcendent-level spiritual beasts and almost four hundred Spiritual levels. There are no Transcendent-level spiritual beasts in sight at this time." One of the warriors wearing gold armor explained to Qin Tian.

His name is Shi Tu. He is the strongest among the four late stages of the Semi-Transcendent level. And he is also the captain of the Thunder Protector Squad.

"Mn." Qin Tian nodded before speaking. "Then what about the spiritual monsters that control them, is there information?" He asked.

Shi Tu shook his head as he answered. "There is no information yet. But there is a high possibility that the monster is hiding among the hordes of spiritual beasts!" He told Qin Tian the information he had received from the superintendents of the Qin kingdom guarding the border.

"Mn, as long as there are no Transcendent-level spiritual beasts, everything will be fine." Qin Tian spoke to himself.

Even if there were far more spiritual beasts, they were only animals that had no intelligence in the end.

With the formation built by the Thunder Protection Squad, they could definitely suppress them even if they were far more numerous.

That was because, when the formation was formed, the strength of the Thunder Protection Squad would increase until it surpassed the power of the late stage Semi-Transcendent realm, equivalent to the strength of Qin Tian.

The strongest of the hordes of spiritual beasts after all, was only at the late stage of the Semi-Transcendent realm.

Even if they were twice as many, it was still far from enough to suppress the power that was one level above them.

Whoosh...

The flying ark continued to fly towards the north of the Qin kingdom.

Even at the speed of the first layer of Transcendent experts, it still needed more than half an hour for them to arrive at the border.

The spiritual continent has a vast territory.

Besides the four regions, the place where humans live, there is a middle region called the Deserted Land, where spiritual monsters and spiritual beasts live.

In the Alasta world, the number of spiritual monsters is so small when compared to humans that they can only live in remote places.

And Deserted Land is one of the few places in the Alasta world that is home to spiritual monsters and spiritual beasts.

Because there are more spiritual beasts than spiritual monsters there, Deserted Land is basically a chaotic place.

Although the area of โ€‹โ€‹the middle region was vast, on par with other regions, yet due to the chaos there, even the emperor of the Great Empire did not dare to enter there alone.

If any humans dare to enter the Deserted Land, they will definitely be targeted by spiritual monsters and spiritual beasts there.

Without enough power to dominate them, entering their realm is practically no different from seeking death.

Even if some people choose to enter to practice or look for certain cultivation resources, they are, at best, only daring to enter the periphery.

The area where Transcendent-level spiritual monsters lived, even a Transcendent-level expert didn't dare to run there.

Of course, as with humans, spritual monsters and spiritual beasts there also did not dare to step outside and enter human territory.

If they dare to come out, their fate might not be different from humans entering their territory.

For spiritual beasts that do not have intelligence, maybe there is no problem with that. However, for spiritual monsters that are basically no different from humans, they are naturally dissatisfied with only being in one place.

Because of this, some young spiritual monsters usually try to invade human territory, hoping they can expand their territory, and rule the world to build their own civilization.

For their actions, the older spiritual monsters just laughed at them behind.

They know, with their huge differences in numbers, trying to fight humans is basically no different from grasshoppers trying to stop a train.

Of course that only applies to the Alasta world and other worlds where there are very few spiritual monsters.

If you look at the entire Galaxy, there are many worlds where monsters rule. Even in certain regions of the Galaxy, there is a place that becomes a paradise for spiritual monsters. It was a place where even legendary divine monsters could be found.

On the border between the southern region and the Deserted Land, there are towering mountain ranges, which are natural fortresses for both regions.

Compared to other places, the mountains there are so much higher that those who cannot fly cannot reach the top of the mountain.

In fact, those who have reached the spiritual level will find it difficult to fly when they are on a mountain top.

The higher a person goes, the greater the pressure they feel.

No mention of those in the Spiritual realm, even an expert at the Transcendent level, had a height limit when they flew.

To fly through the sky and go to outer space, only Demigods can do it.

The height of the mountains on the Deserted Land border was enough to suppress those still in the Spiritual realm.

When are on top of that mountain, a Spiritual realm expert would rather walk on the ground than fly in the sky. That's because the energy they need to fly there is too big.

Even those at the Semi-Transcendent level cannot fly too long when they cross the mountains.

Only a Transcendent, who can pass through the area with ease.

When the flying ark arrived there, it immediately landed in one of the open areas on the top of the mountain.

In that place, there was a fortress created by the Qin kingdom to oversee the border.

Due to the pressure there, even spiritual beasts that tried to attack the Qin kingdom preferred to pass through mountains by walking on the ground.

However, not all places can be passed because there are many rows of trees and dangerous areas there.

Because of this, they can only pass through more open areas.

But, in every open area on the border, there will always be a fortress guarding it.

And in each of the fortresses, there are also defense formations that can withstand spiritual beast attacks for some time.

The formation is very large and covers a very large area. It even covered the area in the sky to the flight height limit, a semi-transcendent peak.

To enter the territory of the Qin kingdom, they could only destroy the defense formation before they could continue their attack.

Boom Boom Boom

When Qin Tian and the others came out of the ark, they could feel terrible vibrations on the ground as if there was an earthquake there.

Qin Tian could not help but look north as he felt the ground tremble.

There, he could see many spiritual beasts with enormous body sizes releasing many attacks on the energy barrier which was now filled with cracks.
