The Geared Immortal

Chapter 649

(Unedited)

…

The slowly rising energy inside the chamber is a bit suffocating making all the people inside it show fear in their expressions. No one dares move due to the imposing aura and the invisible feeling that bounds each of the people's feet on the ground.

No one could say anything and no one could react. All they can do is watch as the single tall figure in front of them all slowly gathers his strength.

With the already bad premonition in his heart, Shin Jiao wanted to act and stop the process. However, for some unknown reason, he could not move. He can only watch helplessly as that figure slowly became stronger.

"This is bad… I have to stop this…"

He tried to focus his strength and spin the energy inside his core to counteract the stifling force holding his body. But everything he is doing is to no avail. He could not move at all.

Suddenly an idea struck Shin Jiao.

"How about… I try that skill… It might be possible... Let's do it then."

Shin Jiao did not hesitate and immediately uses his psychokinesis to control the objects around him. He felt ecstatic that his psychokinesis could still work even though he is being suppressed. He didn't hesitate and immediately gather his will and mind power.

This careful movement did not attract anyone. However, it didn't escape the eyes of the tall figure.

When he turns his gaze towards Shin Jiao's direction the figure could only see sharp flying objects heading his direction.

This startled the figure and the pressure was immediately released from everyone.

The Li'ang scientist who thought that he would surely die at that time suddenly felt relieved. He didn't know what happened, but he didn't want to stay near the figure that he thought was their god. In fact, he now knew that this person is already not the figure in the legends. This is not the god of their hope, but the god of death which they just brought to life.

And so he immediately scurries to run.

The figure of Gaeus Ro just raises his hand to block those flying objects, and then shifted his gaze to the running scientist. Without a single word, he suddenly waves his hand, and those sharp objects he stopped mid-air flew towards the running figure.

Blood splatter all around as the body of the Li'ang scientist was immediately riddled with holes.

Everyone was aghast upon seeing this scene. With the pressure already gone, they all tried to run away. However, they soon discover that their body suddenly was unable to move.

Shin Jiao also felt another invisible pressure covering his body. And in one glance he already knew what it was. Upon feeling that pressure, his heart heaves a sigh of relief. Then he just calmly stood on his spot and watches.

The figure of Gaeus Ro suddenly began to rampage. It was as if killing those Li'ang people, his people, are nothing to him. He just expressionlessly slaughtered those frantically escaping figures.

The humans were all dumbfounded at this scene. They are a bit of a distance that's why they were spared. But the scope of the pressure has also enveloped them.

There are around twenty humans from the Vermillion Gem Town inside this room. From the looks of it, they are all elders and heads of the clans and schools in the town.

Shin Jiao could identify them from the insignia on their robes. Out of these twenty humans, he saw four old men with the aura of a nascent realm cultivator. They are not in a panic just like the others but watch this scene with a knitted brow.

In fact, these four were the ones who colluded with the Li'ang people and device a plan to resurrect the fallen god. The plan is to let the Li'ang resurrect their fallen god and then with the use of the black and white stone, they would extract the fallen god's power and use it to power the portal on the side.

Once that happens, they would be able to leave this place. But now, they discovered that those black and white crystals which could weaken them are actually not working. They could see that the fallen god is not a Li'ang as he didn't have a tail.

And that was their biggest mistake.

It didn't take long for Gaeus Ro to slaughter the Li'angs in the chamber.

The strong stench of blood permeated the whole area and those who are left standing, especially those below the nascent realm, began shaking.

Suddenly, an elder body from the Xian clan glowed for a bit, and the invisible pressure holding everyone vanished in an instant.

When Shin Jiao saw this, he was surprised and became curious. He didn't know it was but that slight ripple seems to have broken the basic area domain exerted by Gaeus Ro in his surroundings.

An elder from one of the schools standing with the group suddenly sneered. He was one of the people who planned this thing and he is proficient in an array formation. He is confident that with the power of the people inside this room, they would be able to subdue this 'being', and then use the being's body as a power supply for the portal.

"Haha… It seems that you have the power of an Earth Nascent Realm. Not bad, not bad at all… just the thing that we needed."

Suddenly some of the humans in the chamber jump around Gaeus Ro and created a formation around him.

Then as they activated their Qi, they created a seal in the air and on the ground. The seal suddenly spread everywhere encasing the figure of Gaeus Ro inside.

The same person who activated that slight ripple suddenly took out a piece of paper and then after infusing his Qi in it sent it towards the seal.

The paper directly flew inside and then landed on the unmoving figure of Gaeus Ro. When this happens, everyone saw the eyes of the figure slowly closes. Then it stopped moving.

An old man wearing a Xian clan logo on his blue robe suddenly smiled. The aura around him is that of a nascent realm cultivator and from the way the ripple shows, Shin Jiao knew that this person is at the peak of the nascent realm.

"Humph! This is just a mere mindless puppet. I knew that those blundering idiots were too stupid to know this… They did not understand that the separation of the body and spirit. Now this powerful empty husk will be ours… Hahaha…"

With the old man's chuckling, everyone also began to laugh. They all heave a sigh of relief as they knew that the plan to subdue this tall being is a success.

However, their cheering and jubilation were suddenly interrupted by a nonchalant voice coming from the side near the entrance of the chamber.

"You guys should be careful… you've just angered someone you should not have."

Everyone immediately shifted their attention towards Shin Jiao's location.

When they saw the young man, they were all surprised as they didn't notice this person coming in. Plus, they soon discover that the barrier protecting the whole chamber is now gone.

"Who are you? What audacity do you have to be here?" shouted one of the middle-aged men in the group.

Shin Jiao did not answer him and just leisurely folded his hand on his chest as if wanting to watch a good show. His reaction made everyone feel a bit confused, and as they followed his line of sight they were all immediately covered in a cold sweat.

This is because everyone discovers that the being standing inside the seal already has his eyes open.

"What? No, don't let that guy escape! Strengthen the seal now!" shouted another middle-aged man as he jumps in the formation and immediately joins with those that are suppressing the being inside it.

The person, who threw the paper seal, immediately took out more and then threw three of them at the same time.

The paper seal enters the circular incasing array and flew towards Gaeus Ro's forehead. However, for some unknown reason, the paper talisman did not stick to his head. Instead, they were all stopped mid-air.

Then something that made everyone despair happened. The paper talismans were suddenly burned into a crisp and a strong explosive aura suddenly erupted from Gaeus Ro's body which destroyed the array seal around him. Then the people forming the array seal were all throw everywhere.

"Damn it! Don't let him escape! Everyone, let's form the array seal now!" this time the old man from the Xian clan shouted as his figure dash towards Gaeus Ro who is still standing in the middle of the destroyed array seal.

Then those who are standing on the side followed suit. Now around 19 people are already forming the array seal which is now stronger than before.

"Use all of the talismans and seal him, now!" shouted the old man.

Shin Jiao just shook his head at this scene. He knew how strong that figure is and knew that no matter how they try, this figure would not be sealed just like that. Luckily for them, Gaeus Ro was not able to accumulate enough Qi because he was able to interrupt him in that crucial moment.

If Gaeus Ro was able to reach the heavenly nascent realm at that time, then all of them inside this room would have already died. And for that, he already did these guys a favor.

Shin Jiao did not wait and began his own preparation for this battle. He didn't know how strong this resurrected Gaeus Ro is, but he has no choice but to fight him. Of course, he would not help those idiots who are doing this for their own selfish reason.

Who knew if they would bite him in the back while fighting? If he did not know the cultivator's attitude in this world, then he might be trusting towards them. However, he has already experienced too much to be a fool.

So, he would just stand here and wait in line for his turn.
