Chapter 2057 - 2056: War Erupts, Faith Confrontation

The people of Death Ancient City began to gather.

Apart from several superpowers, countless Loose Cultivators also joined in.

In just a short hour, everyone was gathered.

There were about tens of thousands of people.

This number is neither too many nor too few.

Why is that?

Because although there are many cultivators on Immortal Island, most are mere cannon fodder, too weak in strength.

Only a portion has any real power.

This time, the fact that Death Ancient City could gather so many people is already quite impressive.

Xu Zimei, the Human Emperor, and the Mountain-Controlling River Emperor led the way, taking the frontmost position.

Behind them were the Three Flowers experts, like those from Starry Sky Valley, Hidden Dragon Temple, Purple Sun Sect, Blue Water Mansion, including the Nine Heavens Alliance Leader, and other renowned Loose Cultivators.

As long as one was a Three Flowers expert, they would be in the second tier.

At this moment, the Vast Marsh was spreading towards Death Ancient City, getting closer and closer.

Wherever the swamp passed, not a blade of grass grew.

It was as if the entire world was being corroded.

No one has ever truly stopped the spread of the swamp.

Others are merely trying to stop a carriage with their arms.

The Human Emperor exchanged glances with a few others, then said, "Use the Faith Curse Seal, gather the Power of Faith to form a barrier, and then enter the depths of the swamp."

You must know the swamp is full of hidden dangers. Without the protection of the Faith Curse Seal, there's a fear that once entered, a third of these people would die.

The Human Emperor can't take that risk.

Everyone agreed.

As the central figure for the Power of Faith, the Human Emperor should initiate this curse seal.

The Human Emperor slightly closed his eyes as if sensing something.

His hands began to form seals simultaneously.

He was even muttering something under his breath, his expression devout, his voice not loud.

It was more like murmuring to himself.

But for some reason, these voices flowed clearly into everyone's ears.

The average person couldn't understand the meaning of these sounds; it was like chanting scriptures, everyone only felt grand and solemn.

But they couldn't understand the scriptures.

Behind the Human Emperor, a Wheel of Faith appeared.

This Wheel of Faith was circular, seemingly absorbing and gathering something.

Xu Zimei's gaze was fixed around him.

He saw faint traces of golden light floating out from around.

These golden lights were faint, even small.

Most people couldn't even see them, but as these tiny golden lights gathered together.

It was like water dripping through stone, like grains of sand forming a tower.

Gradually, they began to gleam brilliantly.

And the Wheel of Faith began to solidify into a tangible form, even slowly starting to rotate.

The Power of Faith was like a stream, while the Wheel of Faith was like a small sapling.

It needed the nourishment of the stream to grow.

"There is already a lot of Power of Faith, but it's still not enough," Xu Zimei said, frowning.

Although there were only tens of thousands of people present, the scale was still not sufficient.

"Don't worry, a few days ago, I spread the Faith Curse Seal throughout the entire Immortal Island.

If needed, the entire Immortal Island's natives can provide us with faith," the Nine Heavens Alliance Leader explained.

Some people were fearful of battle, afraid to fight.

But they could still provide the Power of Faith.

As others have said, everything in this world has its use, even a sheet of toilet paper.

Xu Zimei began to look further away.

Indeed, as the Human Emperor activated the Faith Curse Seal, it seemed like all the natives on Immortal Island were being summoned.

Countless dense points of faith light began to gather.

At this moment, the Human Emperor seemed to be wrapped in golden light, like a blazing sun, so dazzlingly bright that no one could look directly.

Behind the Human Emperor, the Wheel of Faith was operating at its limit.

A phantom of the Human Emperor again condensed behind him, this phantom was enormous, just like when Xu Zimei had performed the Law of Heaven and Earth.

The phantom was gathered by thousands of faiths, its body radiating golden light, covering everyone in its path.

"Onwards," the Human Emperor said calmly.

He led the first step towards the Death Swamp, followed by tens of thousands following behind him simultaneously.

The faith embodiment was their ultimate means to counter the swamp curse.

Tens of thousands exited Death Ancient City, marching less than two kilometers before they were face-to-face with the spreading swamp, less than a hundred meters away.

Many felt a bit nervous.

This was the decisive moment.

"Attack," at that moment, everyone drew their weapons, and under the protection of the Human Emperor's faith embodiment, charged into the depths of the swamp.

In the depths of the swamp, many swamp creatures were also ready and waiting.

They seemed to see food, each one appearing ravenous.

Finally, accompanied by a resounding "boom".

The swamp and the Power of Faith collided.

"Boom, boom."

The curse power within the swamp seemed frenzied, wanting to devour the Power of Faith.

The two were like water and fire, unable to coexist.

Everyone felt a bit tense, but as the Power of Faith continuously gathered, they realized the curse power couldn't harm them.

"Succeeded," the Nine Heavens Alliance Leader exclaimed joyfully.

They had worked so hard for this moment, and finally, they succeeded.

"Attack," at this moment, without the nuisance of the curse power, everyone began to battle the swamp creatures in high spirits.

Although the Power of Faith blocked the curse power, the creatures in the Death Swamp still posed a considerable threat.

The chaotic battle began quickly.

However, these swamp creatures weren't strong enough to warrant Xu Zimei and the others to take action.

Xu Zimei and the others headed straight toward the deeper part of the swamp.

On the outskirts of this swamp, there were natives present.

Xu Zimei didn't know how the natives lived during the spread of the swamp.

However, Xu Zimei had previously promised Song Yuanshan that he would protect Sun Chasing Village.

In this catastrophe, for the natives, it wasn't just the swamp creatures; there were also the humans outside.

The human race would also act against the natives.

They were caught between a rock and a hard place.

Xu Zimei informed the Human Emperor and the others about the situation with Sun Chasing Village, saying they shouldn't take action against it.

As he walked forward, Xu Zimei finally saw Sun Chasing Village.

Actually, on the outskirts of the Death Swamp, there were many native villages, with Sun Chasing Village being just one of them.

But Xu Zimei didn't bother with the others.

When he arrived at Sun Chasing Village, he discovered that the place where the natives lived was not covered by the swamp.

This was certainly strange.

It seemed the Death Swamp was being controlled by someone, deliberately avoiding certain areas.

Song Yuanshan led a village of natives to welcome Xu Zimei at the entrance.

"Master," seeing the arrival of Xu Zimei and his party, Song Yuanshan quickly kneeled to welcome them.

"Find a place to hide; this matter doesn't concern your Sun Chasing Village," Xu Zimei said.

"Does Master need me to guide you?" Song Yuanshan asked eagerly.

"No, it's uncertain inside, I promised to keep you safe," Xu Zimei shook his head.
