The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1023

(Unedited)

…

Shin Jiao could not think of anything else and just floated in the air while looking at the portals. According to the dragon king, the enemy is going to open one of these portals and through that, they would act on their plans.

When Shin Jiao learned of the enemy's plans, he already knew of the danger that the planet would be facing. It's like the genocide of a whole planet and that is not what Shin Jiao would want to see.

And so, he floated in the air while his senses are spread all over the place. According to the dragon emperor, the portal they are targeting would be opening real soon, within the area that Shin Jiao is in right now.

With the coordination from the Heaven and Earth city, Shin Jiao was able to traverse the huge and vast field with precision from their instructions.

…

While Shin Jiao is inside the Heaven and Earth Valley, Demon Emperor Yol-gar is already approaching the opened city gates.

"The humans have made many fascinating changes in this place… I think we should try and conquer a human planet next time…" the Shadow Being Yol-gar said in Yol-gar's mind.

"Hmm… Out of the many planets that have humans in them, there are not many who have reached this kind of crafting ability… I think they are rare. Most human planets with powerful beings are like the ones in the other worlds. They prefer to strengthen themselves with power than waste their time with these sorts of stuff…"

"Anyway, we only have an hour left. We have to find that dark elf."

Yol-gar was able to enter the city without any qualms and soon arrive in front of a tall building. However, he dare not enter as he could feel the strong barrier energy covering that building.

"This is the place… But this place is covered with a holy barrier. If we enter then we would be surely exposed."

"What should we do then?"

From the side, Yol-gar noticed a figure clad in a dark cloak. With just one glance he knew that it was the dark elf.

"My lord, these are the things you need to enter the tournament…" she said as she handed him a storage pouch.

After checking everything, Yol-gar waved his hand and the dark elf quickly left that place.

"Should we kill that woman?" the Shadow Being Yol-gar said with killing intent.

"Control your aura… I do not want to be exposed in the middle of the city."

"Hah! What are you afraid of? I can already feel that a part of our army is already near us."

"I am not afraid but I feel that creating a commotion at this time would surely hinder our plan."

"You worry too much, there is nothing those saint rulers could do. I already have enough control of the valley. With this… only you can enter the valley without hinder. If only I have full control of the valley, then we did not have to go through this way… But my control is already enough to stop others from entering…"

Yol-gar then walks out in the dark alley with his figure already morphed into that of the female dark elf.

He directly went to the quarters of the elven race.

…

Shin Jiao at this time did not idle while waiting inside the Heaven and Earth Valley. He busied himself in his preparation in entering 'that world' that would be the stage where the demons would make their killing. He can only trust in the words of the dragon emperor.

The dragon emperor told him that since his body came from the immortal land and is already in its demi-god form, the natural restriction of the world would stop him. And so, he can only send his soul in that world. This is because the universe is filled with laws and there is no exemption to those laws. Even the deities, the demons, the shadow beings, and any other creature that exists below the higher plane would follow the law imposed in the universe. It is the irrevocable law of the universe.

But what the demons are doing is actually not against the law, but is a very dangerous way around it. If they succeed, then they would open the portal to the higher realm, and the demons could enter the universe and could conquer it by force.

But if they fail, then their existence would be wiped out from the face of the universe. They would be imprisoned in the dark abyss of the higher realms for eternity.

"So if only my soul could enter it, I guess that goes the same way for that demon, right?" Shin Jiao muttered.

But he still could not put his guard down. He knew how tricky those demons and shadow beings are.

And so, he began to busy himself in crafting a unique artifact for his soul.

…

Inside the Heaven and Earth city

The semifinals are about to begin and everyone is already excited. All of the contestants are now gearing to begin the new part of the contest.

This next part is the maze…

The contestants would be entering a maze in the middle of the large stadium and those who would be able to go through the maze will find themselves at the main entrance of the Heaven and Earth Valley.

When the MC told everyone about the maze and what would be happening next, everyone knew that those who are able to go through the maze would be the people to enter the Heaven and Earth valley and would be the ones to enter the portals.

Many wanted to get this chance to once again return to their old world and resolve their hidden regrets. But those that have been in the immortal land for more than a thousand years would not be able to gain something from this. Hence those younger ones are the only ones who wished this especially those that are not born in the immortal land.

But what the viewers wanted to see is the process of how these talented individuals would be able to show their own prowess in the maze. The maze might look small, but in truth, it is inside another dimension. The titans like dragons and giants are able to use their own bodies in this maze. However, the problem is that the bigger they are, the harder would it be for them.

As the contest begins, the semifinalist quickly enters the maze and found themselves in another world. But the hard part in this maze is that, after they enter this new dimensional world, everyone is immediately separated.

Some of the dragons used their true bodies and were thrown in a place that suited to challenge their physique. Others did not change and continue the challenge suing their smaller form.

And so the large stadium erupts in a cacophony of cheers as the semifinalist go through the maze and showcase their strength for everyone to see.

…

Meanwhile on the stand where the rest of the saint rulers who are commanding this event are seated a messenger suddenly arrives.

After hearing the message the room turned gloomy.

"The High Elves have finally lost their mind… after failing to conquer the forest elves, they are now setting their eyes on the other elven clans…" the dragon emperor said in a deep tone.

"Should we help?" a dwarf asked while stroking his long beard.

"No… this is the elven race's problem…" the dragon emperor said in a serious tone.

"But… The humans have already offered us, the forest elves a hand, right?" a tall elf said with a worried expression.

"Yes, but that is because you captured them without a choice." The Gigantes king said with a frown.

The room turned silent.

Suddenly another messenger reported something which turned the room silent once again.

"What do you think is the real purpose of those High Elves? Why are they doing these suicide attacks?"

"I think this is a distraction. Remember, their goal is this place. If we did not discover their plan ahead of time, we would already be going to those places… but their plan is futile now."

"Then should we just let the Zith'ra race fall under their rule. If the Zith'ra fully demonized then that would be a big problem in the immortal land."

The people inside the room turned silent and the dragon emperor shifted his gaze to the Zith'ra race saint ruler who is showing a worried expression on his face.

In fact, not all of them are aware of this scheme. They just fell in the hands of those demons. And because of their pride as warriors, it became their downfall as immortals.

"Alright, sent a few forces from the dragon race to the Zith'ra race. Along with some of the humans… we should quell their forces first and prevent more from being forcefully demonized…" the dragon emperor said with a frown.

He then shifted his gaze to his communicator.

"Our hope is in your hands now, little human… do not let us down." He thought.
