Chapter 1980 - 1979: Elites of the Upper Realm

Qi Ling knew about Qin Feng’s plan.

Qin Feng told her that he wanted to "surround Wei to rescue Zhao," but she was still worried.

"Are you leading the Heavenly King Team, along with those 200,000 from the Inner World?"

Qi Ling asked.

Currently, the Heavenly King Team and those 200,000 people from the Inner World have been undergoing devilish special training in the Desolate World ever since the Upperworld Immortals began their invasion, and although a continuous week of training could indeed enhance their strength.

But with just this number of people heading to the Upper Realm, how could it be enough?

I’m afraid that they would be annihilated before even passing through the Space-time Tunnel.

"But how will you bring so many people through the Space-time Tunnel? You know, once the tunnel is opened, there would be a large presence of Upperworld Immortals in both the Upper Realm and the Lower Realm." Qi Ling said.

"I know, but don’t I have the Taiji Spaceship?"

Qin Feng replied.

Returning to Vine Dragon Mountain, this time everyone saw Qin Feng come back, unlike the past few days when he returned unconscious, their eyes filled with joy.

As long as Qin Feng was there, they felt hope remained!

If Qin Feng were absent.

The entire world would collapse!

"They can come out now."

Qin Feng said to Qi Ling.

Qi Ling promptly arranged for people to go to the Desolate World and summon the Heavenly King Team and all 200,000 from the Inner World who were undergoing special training there.

When they appeared before everyone, each was amazed!

After a consecutive week of special training, their cultivation had significantly progressed, with over half of them reaching the Great Power Level!!

In other words, now over 100,000 people were at the Great Power Level!

This number was incredibly daunting!

Previously, among the five million plus people, those at the Great Power Level were only a few dozen.

Now, surprisingly, over 100,000 were at the Great Power Level!

Especially those from the Inner World families, who originally were a tier higher than those from the Heavenly King Palace in cultivation, after this special training, those like the Forbidden Woman from the Sand River World, Zangtian from the Volcano Inner World, Sakura Meizi from the Sakura Secret World, etc., had all become Great Powers!

On the Heavenly King Team side, figures such as the Empress of the Big Snake Clan, Ning Tingxue, Ni Chang, and others also successfully became Great Powers!!

One could say.

This was a truly formidable force!!

"This, this... is wonderful!"

Dragon Commander and others exclaimed in surprise.

They never anticipated that in just a week, these people would undergo such a great transformation.

But upon careful thought, it made sense.

Previously, during the three months of cultivating in the Desolate World, their cultivation enhanced significantly, with many who were only Spirit Kings or even below that level reaching the Immortal Realm.

Moreover, although three months might seem long, the actual time spent cultivating inside was relatively short, due to the large numbers—amounting to over five million—where each person entered in alternations, adding up to merely two weeks of cultivation time in total.

Therefore, their tremendous improvement in just one week was not inexplicable!

"Very good!"

Qin Feng felt very gratified to see their cultivation improve so greatly.

Others were more excitedly saying, "There is finally hope! Just these 100,000 Great Powers can hold out for some time!"

"Yes! I estimate we can last at least three days!"

"Fantastic!"

"..."

Inner World figures like the Forbidden Woman, Zangtian, and others asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by holding out for three days?"

They hadn’t joined the battle from the beginning and weren’t aware of the situation.

"Of course, it means holding off the Upperworld Immortals’ attack!"

"Every day, three million Upperworld Immortals emerge from the Space-time Tunnel, it’s truly exhausting!"

"Yes!"

"..."

Everyone started talking at once.

The Forbidden Woman, Ni Chang, Ning Tingxue and others listened in confusion and exclaimed, "Do you mean to say that you’ve been dealing with three million Upperworld Immortals daily, and you’ve held on for an entire week?!!"

"Yes!" the crowd replied.

"But, but... you seem to have lost only over two million people... yet you slaughtered over twenty-one million enemies!" the Forbidden Woman said incredulously.

"Oh, it’s a long story; altogether, thanks to Lord Qin, otherwise this place would have been overtaken by the Upperworld Immortals long ago..."

Everyone sighed.

After hearing them briefly recount the events of the past seven days, Ni Chang, Red Moon, and others were even more astonished.

They hadn’t realized the brutality of the battles they had been through in those seven days, nor did they anticipate that Qin Feng and Qi Ling had together single-handedly slain Upperworld Immortals for three days—killing nine million of them!

Just thinking about it was an immensely terrifying number!

"In any case, now that you all are here, with your presence, we can definitely continue to hold the ground!"

"Yes, we certainly can!!"

"..."

The eyes of the rest of the crowd grew excited too.

At this moment, Qin Feng raised his hand and said, "No."

"Oh? No??"

Everyone grew puzzled.

Qin Feng continued, "The Upper Realm is far from being this simple. If you were the Upper Realm ruler and had your subordinates attacking an insignificant small place, would you send your elite forces?"

"Of course not, just send a few random people," someone replied.

"Exactly."

Qin Feng’s expression grew serious and he said, "Now, the ones we eradicated were just some they ’randomly arranged’."

"This..."

The crowd exchanged glances, feeling it might make sense.

"Seems reasonable too. I remember hearing from the forebears that Great Powers roam everywhere in the Upper Realm," someone contemplated. "And judging from the Immortals we’ve encountered these days, not many Great Powers have been seen; we’ve even met several only at Saint Level."

"So, does this mean the Upperworld Immortals’ ’elite’ hasn’t started yet?"

"..."

While everyone discussed it, Qin Feng nodded and said, "Indeed, their ’elite’ hasn’t started the attack yet, as they feel there’s no need to deploy them."

"But it’s been a week now; they’ve lost quite a few people. Why haven’t they sent the ’elite’ yet?" Someone wondered.

"It’s because of their arrogance, which has led to their delay," Qin Feng explained. "Their arrogance is engraved in their bones, firmly believing we are mere ants, believing that randomly arranging some people will wipe us out. This very belief has made our week of fighting relatively smooth."

"Makes sense..." Dragon Commander reflected for a while, then asked, "How powerful are their ’elite’? When will they schedule an attack against us?"

"Seven is an ’extreme’ number."

Qin Feng said, "Seven days should mark their limit. Now that seven days have passed, their arrogance has been struck back by us, and they will inevitably become furious. That is to say, if I’m not mistaken, tomorrow will be when their ’elite’ begins! Of course, how strong their ’elite’ is, I don’t know.

"Alright, we await tomorrow then!"

Dragon Commander clenched his fist and said.
