Chapter 2108 - Ascendants All Around
"Wow.... Every single one of these trees are as tall as the Azurecloud Divine Tree...." Tianming was quite awestruck when he saw the dense forest. It was a world of giants; everything seemed far too out of scale! Trees like the Azurecloud Divine Tree were rare on the sun, but all over the place here. There were hundreds and thousands of them everywhere the eye could see.
The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb's descent was completely obscured by the trees around them. Some trees in the distance even reached as far up as the clouds, a distance that had taken close to two days for the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb to cross. "Is this a world of giants, or what a real ancient world really looks like?"
When the ship finally landed on the ground, Tianming couldn't help but smile. "We're finally here!"
The girls weren't too worried since Tianming was there with them. The doors of the ship finally opened, allowing the four of them to finally step on the soil of Ebonia. Almost immediately, he planned to send tens of millions of invisible cockroaches in all directions to scout the place out. However, something completely incomprehensible happened.
The fist-sized silver eggs leaped out of the lifebound space, turned into invisible cockroaches, and plastered themselves on the ground, unable to move! Something similar had happened before during the Astralium Seeking in the wondersky realm.
"Huh? The gravity is really powerful, Big Brother," Feiling said, furrowing her brow as she walked a few steps.
Tianming also noticed the force of the nova source coming from beneath his body. It felt quite unnerving and disorienting.
Moran seemed to fare the worst among them. Her face was completely pale and she couldn't even properly stand. While she was rather weak, she wasn't too far off from becoming a solarian.
"Even though this isn't a supergravity star, the gravity here is stronger than that of the Astralium Seeking." What was worse was that the entire world was under this gravitational field. There was nowhere on Ebonia where they would feel less heavy. Even newborn babies would have to endure this kind of gravity, not to mention insects!
"Anyone without an astral physique would be crushed by this kind of gravity, right?"
"Possibly. Even if they aren’t crushed in an instant, there's no way anyone can last in the long term, especially children," Moran said.
"That sounds a little much. Could every single living being in Ebonia be on the level of ascendants and above? Even newborn infants and wildbeasts?"
"It sounds likely."
"Ascendants at birth? That doesn't seem possible. I recall that while the children of the sun emperor had heavenly wills at birth, they still started at the Saint stages. Those of us from Flameyellow started at the Beast Vein stage," Xiaoxiao said. The Samsara stage was quite a long one, too, and one had to grow past that to reach Ascension and beyond.
"We'll find out once we scope the place out. One thing's for sure: anyone that isn’t an ascendant would find it hard to get anywhere in this world," Tianming said. It was a world ten thousand times the size of a heliacal-class world! He picked up a rock from the ground and gave it a squeeze, but it didn't turn into dust. "Even the rocks here are hard. There must be some trace of cosmic impulse in everything around us...." Tianming was beyond surprised. "I'm sure it wouldn't be odd if this kind of world gives birth to monsters...."
He gave it a try and noticed that the nova source of Ebonia was far better than that of the sun. It could be directly compressed and converted within his astral discs. "Once I replace my astralforce with the astralforce generated here, I might become more powerful."
From the traces of cosmic impulse, to the strong gravity, to the high-quality nova source, all of it showed how much more superior Ebonia was. They were currently exploring one small corner in this world like blind people, as Yin Chen's cockroach form was too small and couldn't move around in this world. It would first have to fuse into larger silver eggs, which would turn into larger invisible cockroaches before spreading out, but that would greatly reduce the number of bodies it could have at the same time and make them much easier to discover. As long as the problematic gravity persisted, Yin Chen's effectiveness would be greatly curbed. "Well, it's still better than nothing. Go." The ten million Yin Chens spread out with much more difficulty than usual.
Tianming hid the ship as best he could and awaited Yin Chen's news. While that would take quite some time, time was a commodity Tianming had plenty of at the moment.
"Is it better?" Tianming asked Moran after a while.
"Much better. I managed to find a way to offset the force of gravity with my divine wonder. While it drains me quite a bit, the nova source of this world is of much higher quality, allowing me to replenish myself much easier. It's good news, since that means I'll be able to use my divine wonders more often," she said.
"Very well."
All that remained was to wait. Tianming went about, exploring the trees, the large blades of grass, and even the rocks and minerals around them. Given that Yin Chen's speed had also been affected, none of its bodies had run into anyone yet.
"Watch out!" Divine astralship... approaching you!" Yin Chen reported while Tianming was messing around with some blade-like black gravel.
"A divine astralship?" He hurriedly called out to Feiling and the rest. While he wasn't sure that the ship was coming for him, he decided to remain cautious. Little did he know that a ship would arrive so quickly.
Right as he stood up, a gigantic black ball appeared in the black fog ahead of him! The whole world shook. The spherical divine astralship was about the size of the Eye of the Blood Abyss, but it was much larger than the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, being a skypiercer-class ship! The only reason it would zip over so quickly was because it had locked on to the tomb, though the time Tianming had to react was much less, given Yin Chen's lowered efficiency. Had it been on the sun, it would have been able to notice it much sooner.
The sphere left a crater right in front of Tianming as it landed, causing gravel to shoot toward the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. The trees of the ancient forest began shaking from the sudden storm of dark winds.
A deep, bestial voice came ringing from the ship. "What kind of thief dares trespass on the private estate of the Gongshu Clan?!"
