Chapter 1194 The Invader’s Plan　　The invader didn’t just need raw power to get into the world, but to also adapt to it. After all, even if it could brute force his way into the world, the world would also not just wait idly.

In dire straits, a world could conjure a power that was beyond what any immortal could comprehend. It could call down storms that would blast apart an immortal, or even spew the flames of its core, burning down everything.

But this was only when its baseline laws were violated. The Invader overcame them all by becoming a part of a being that was originally a resident of the world. Now, even if the world wanted to expel the invader by any means, it couldn’t.

As it would mean harming one of its residents, which it could not do. This was a natural law that it was born with and simply could not be violated at all.

~CRACK~

~CRACK~

The three Immortal Ascension realm ancestors of the top sects attacked while Jing Wei slashed at the Invader. But the attacks didn’t reach the invader at all. I stopped the attacks of the three ancestors before they even reached the invader by the spatial lock, while Jing Wei’s attack barely went a few inches deep before being stopped as well.

”Humph! you think being a mere immortal Ascension realm expert is enough to go against my master? You are all fools!” Gu Yao said before waving his hand.

~SHUA~

A dark red aura spread out from his body and expanded past the limits of the spatial lock.

”Retreat!” Lin Mu ordered everyone.

The experts of the alliance that were still there all flew back and avoided the dark red aura. Lin Mu didn’t know what it exactly was, but could tell that it was not good. Surprisingly though, the dark red aura didn’t seem to be targeting the alliance members.

”What is he doing?” Lin Mu wondered as he saw the red aura spread over the ground.

But he couldn’t pay attention to it for long as the Invader was still tearing open the space. 

”What are you doing?” Lin Mu questioned.

”You’ll see soon.” Gu Yao said and turned back to face the spatial crack that was being expanded.

Lin Mu didn’t stand there and moved towards Gu Yao and the invader fearlessly. If there was anyone who could battle against spatial abilities, then it was him.

Lin Mu’s eyes twitched as spatial perception activated at full power. He could now see the spatial lock around the invader, Gu Yao, and the entire Ancestral Bell. It was like a dense net that was directly embedded into the fabric of space.

He came to stand next to it and placed his hand on it, trying to sense any flaws in it. 

Not finding any of them outright, Lin Mu tried to use his own abilities. Blink simply didn’t work as the two spaces were technically separated and neither did Phase. Lin Mu even tried Fade and went further according to the distance there was, but when he deactivated it, he found himself on the other side of the spatial lock instead.

”Those abilities won’t work since the Spatial lock has essentially isolated the two spaces.” Xukong explained.

Hearing this, Lin Mu tried to use the ring’s ability to open a portal, but even that didn’t work. 

’While it is separated, it’s not actually in the void… I can’t use the portal to access it… then how…?’ Lin Mu racked his brains to figure out a method while the invader continued its work.

The crack had now expanded to become over a hundred meters tall and a smile was on Gu Yao’s face. 

’Won’t be long now..’ Gu Yao thought.

~WOONG~

Soon the crack started to widen and its inside could now be seen. Upon seeing it, Lin Mu found it to be different than the void he had seen so many times now. Instead of just the darkness of shimmering spatial energy inside it, this spatial portal was different.

There was an eerie green haze flickering inside it along with the darkness and streaks of green lightning also pulsed by. This green haze even came out of the portal like an aura. And when it did, the spatial crack expanded as if it were some acid that was corroding it all.

A few moments later, a large presence was felt inside the portal. 

~SLICK~

The sound of something sticky wiggling and moving was heard which Lin Mu first thought was the invader. But it was actually coming from the spatial portal.

”What in the…” Soon, the appearance of the presence could be seen inside the spatial portal.

It looked similar to the invader that was in front of them, but it was many times bigger. In addition to black tar, there were also masses of flesh and thick blood mixed in it, along with many kinds of bones and skulls.

The bones and skulls didn’t seem to belong to just humans either, and there were many other creatures mixed in it.

”That was not the invader?” Lin Mu finally realized.

”It’s Summoning its true body!” Jing Wei and the Sky Precepts Ancestor said in unison.

Lin Mu had thought that the invader was already here, but this turned out to be a mere avatar in the end. Even though it was strong, he was unable to tell just how strong it exactly was.

After all, his spirit sense was unable to get near it.

”Shit!” but when Lin Mu felt the aura of tree being appearing from the spatial crack, he knew it was beyond anything he had felt before.

”An immortal… we are doomed…” Patriarch Hua muttered in disbelief.

…

While this was happening on the northern part of the Great Zhou Continent, another chain of events had been triggered far to the East of the continent. Deep in the great ocean, where the storms churned endlessly, there was a dark hole.

At the bottom of this dark hole, there was a coffin that was chained to the ocean bed.

Upon the intrusion of the Invader and its aura spreading, this coffin started to tremble!
