Chapter 1216: Are You Serious?
A tempest wind blasted out of the massive rift that had been torn open in the starry sky. It was as if a huge hand had ripped it open.
The entire void around the Helioterran imperial palace was shaking.
Cultivator after cultivator arrived, all of them pulsing with baleful auras. All of them had benefited to varying degrees thanks to ringsource. Clearly, Xu Qing wasn’t the only one to have made progress recently. The other cultivators had clearly done well. All of them had improved their cultivation bases since arriving. As a group, their battle prowess was far beyond anything from before.
That was especially true of Sir Vilespirit and Zhou Zhengli, both of whom had previously been at the peak of Imperial Sovereign, and were now just a breath away from a breakthrough. Li Mengtu wasn’t quite on that level, but he had still advanced significantly compared to before. Hordeslayer and Rampart were both in high spirits.
However, the person whose cultivation base had improved the most was Yuanshan Su. It was hard to say where she had gone to do it, but her immortal embryo was far stronger than before.
Because of all that, this group of cultivators was definitely capable of shifting the tide of this battle. Considering that all of them were ascendees, they had all survived countless deadly fights to get to this point. Even when acting as lone wolves, they were still dangerous. Now that they were here, their auras surged, and they were clearly ready for ruthless combat. They were a force no one would dare to take lightly.
Their gazes flitted to take in the Helioterran emperor... and the Quasi-Immortal cultivator!
All of the other Helioterrans were shaken, and suddenly got very uneasy feelings. The emperor scowled. This was the exact worst-case scenario he had wanted to avoid. Normally speaking, the chances of something like this were slim to none. Considering the emperor had an exemption medallion, he wasn’t worried about Acquisitioners showing up. At the very worst, he might have to pay them off to avoid trouble. That was why he had initially acted so fearlessly.
Yet none of his countless calculations could have prompted him to predict that Xu Qing would be on a mission for the Immortal Lord. That was the key to everything. Furthermore... his battle prowess was shocking, and he didn’t even seem scared of this emissary! In fact, he had seemed just on the verge of killing him!
What’s more, every single one of the people who just showed up, whether in terms of aura or just the sense I get from them, are obviously chosen.... This squadron of Acquisitioners is full of extraordinary individuals!
