The Geared Immortal

Chapter 498

/*unedited*/

A huge shadow looms over a group of warships while frantic people can be seen scrambling roundabout not knowing what to do in their panic and fear. There are some who just stood in their place and look at the gigantic creature high up in the sky.

"This is bad! This is a 6th level Wyvern!" shouted a soldier among the group of soldiers that are currently shivering in fright while looking at the huge thing in the sky.

With its size, they would not be enough to even pick its teeth after if finished devouring everything in this place.

"Why is there no nascent realm expert in this place right now? If only the general was not called back we could have a chance to fight against that thing." said one of the soldiers.

"It's too late now, we should just give it all we've got and hoped that it would retreat once it felt fear… those beast are simple-minded, once they got hurt then they would run."

"What if we angered it? It would turn berserk and destroy everything, what then?"

"This is bad, should we just escape with our lives?"

"You fool; do you think you still can escape?"

The soldiers and the people began to discuss the situation they are in and many are very afraid right at this moment. 6th level beast are like nascent realm cultivators but stronger. As the beast have innate abilities, to fight one, humans need at least 3 to 6 team of nascent realm experts, or a single nascent realm plus an army behind him.

This is the only way to defeat such strong creatures. Though most of these creatures can only be found deep in the Daemon forest, in the outside world, some also existed and would reign with terror on its territory.

While this is happening outside, Shin Jiao is currently fighting for his life as he tries his best to control his rampaging spiritual sense. It has already taken almost all of his will just to get it under control and now, another wave of rampaging spiritual sense came over him who made him grit his teeth and focus in controlling the waves of spiritual sense bombardment while the pain in his head is increasing.

Suddenly, in the middle of his struggle, an idea came to him. It is to use his absolute sense and try to physically wrap his spiritual sense. Since he can almost manifest his absolute sense and can already feel its presence, he may be able to use it to control his spiritual sense wave.

"It… all… or… nothing…" he mutters as if saying these words can give him strength and power to overcome this trial.

Unknown to him, while he is struggling a beautiful woman has already entered his room and looks at his figure on the ground with a concerned expression.

"Master…. Master Ji… What happened?" Yao Mai said as she suddenly rushes towards Shin Jiao's side and tried to help him.

However, before she can approach his figure, she suddenly felt a terrifying presence which made her stop from her action and jumped back. But it was all too late; Yao Mai felt her whole body becoming stiff. She was unable to move and just watches in horror as a very strong wave of spiritual sense assaulted her mind directly.

"No!" she wanted to scream but could only say this in her mind as she suddenly felt her consciousness fading.

This is because she felt the strong bombardment of spiritual sense which assaulted her brain with severe pain. She felt her mind in disarray along with the pain. But she also felt something strange deep within her consciousness. It was like a sleeping power that was jolted to awakening when the strong wave of spiritual sense assaulted her mind.

As it awakens the pain she felt slowly faded and was replaced by a soothing and comfortable feeling. Plus it seems that the awakened power seems to feed on the strong wave of spiritual sense as it also grew.

She watches in disbelief as the strange power in her consciousness began to form a shape. And the shape it is forming is her.

"Huh!... What… what happened?" she said as she was suddenly jolted to awakening after that episode.

Then she found herself lying on the bed.

"How did I..." she thought but found something is amiss.

This is because right now she felt something in her body… it was a very strong aura pulsating deep within her dantian.

"You're awake…" a familiar voice echoed near her ears.

"Ugh… Master Ji? What… what happened to me? Why am I in… in your bed?" she asked but then suddenly blushed upon realizing that she is inside Shin Jiao's room.

"Umm… before that, I just wanted to say thank you. If not for you absorbing a large amount of my spiritual sense outburst I would have been in big trouble." Shin Jiao sincerely said.

This is because, at that time, Shin Jiao was really struggling. Although he could hold on and has already used his compressed absolute sense to control the rampaging spiritual waves it was already too late. However, he discovered that something happened and a large amount of the spiritual wave coming from him is being absorbed.

After he successfully controlled the rampaging wave and combined it with his absolute sense, Shin Jiao was happy.

This is because he finally succeeded in forming a physical projection of his absolute sense. When he opened his eyes, he was stunned to see a beautiful woman lying beside him.

He carefully put her in bed and sense that she might be breaking through to the late stages of the infant soul realm. Plus there is a cold power deep within her dantian which seems to be eating the residual spiritual power deep in her body and outside.

"Congratulations on breaking through to the 8th level of the infant soul realm."

When Yao Mai heard Shin Jiao's words, she was stunned. She then immediately checked her dantian and true to what he said, she truly advanced to the 8th level.

"How… how did this happen? I skipped 7 levels in one go?"

"Well, I think it has something to do with that strong power sleeping inside your body, its cold aura and domineering presence is even making the hairs in my skin stand up…" Shin Jiao replied.

"Anyway, I think we have to go out… there is huge trouble happening outside." Shin Jiao said as he stood up and walked to the door.

"Oh, by the way… I think you can use your domain now without the worry of backlash…" he said with a smile as he walked out.

Shin Jiao is truly jealous of the woman's ability. Her power to use domain at such an early stage in her realm is truly terrifying. He could not imagine what would happen in the future. He is sure that, this woman can even fight against a nascent realm expert with the use of her domain.

As he walks out of the lower decks of the ship, he was greeted by a chaotic situation.

Right now, hundreds of people are at the deck of the ship and most of them are not a part of their group. Outside he can see many destroyed ships and many of the platforms on the wall are also in ruins. And flying in the sky is a huge beast that's attacking everything under it.

Then suddenly Shin Jiao squinted his eyes as he noticed something sticking behind its neck.

Although it is not visible, Shin Jiao can clearly see it.

"Even my senses have improved upon forming my domain." He muttered.

"Master Ji! We… we're in trouble! That… that thing has already destroyed almost half of the ships in here, what should we do?" suddenly Song Xie arrived next to Shin Jiao and said in a panic.

Before Shin Jiao can answer, a beautiful figure walks out from the lower deck. This time, Yao Mai is wearing a blue flowing gown inside a thing silver armor that fits her body perfectly. Her figure is like a warrior princess ready to go to a battle.

"I will distract it, and tell the rest of the people here to get ready to fight back." She said confidently.

"Master… You're still hurt, right? Please don't go…" Song Xie asked in concern.

"Silly child, I already recovered thank to Master Ji." Yao Mai said with a tinge of red in her face as she didn't dare to look at Shin Jiao.

Seemingly understanding the situation and had an idea of what happened between the two at the lower deck, Song Xie suddenly looks at Shin Jiao with a complicated gaze.

"Ma… Master Ji, you… you have to be responsible for my master's… ahem... Well, I hate those men who do not take responsibility after doing... that…"

Those people who heard her words turn towards their location. Some even had a look of anger in their faces. This is because these people have been fighting for many hours now. They did not expect that while they are fighting two people are having fun on their ship.

"Ow…" suddenly Song Xie cried in disbelief.

This is because Yao Mai suddenly hit her at the back of her head. Yao Mai's face is now crimson red upon hearing her disciple's comment. So how could she face master Ji now?

"You silly child…" Yao Mai said as she turns around and immediately floated towards the skies.

Shin Jiao was also a bit dumbfounded but decided to follow behind Yao Mai as he could not just stand by and watch a woman fight on her own.

"What? What did I do? Is master angry now?" Song Xie muttered in confusion.

"Sigh… Junior sister… you should not have said that aloud… You're still too naïve." Deming Er said while heaving a helpless sigh.

But his words, made the guards beside him rolled their eyes towards the crown prince. Didn't he know that he just added oil to the fire?
