High Martial: I Grind Professions

Chapter 510: Chapter 320: Immortal Almighty

Its sheer size far surpassed any star Li Wen had ever seen.

The planet’s surface was not the usual azure or ochre.

Instead, it was woven from countless brilliant bands of light and deep planetary rings.

They formed an utterly magnificent and spectacular cosmic vista.

The planet’s gravitational field was so strong it was unnerving.

Li Wen could clearly feel the circulation of his True Essence slow, his body tugged downward as if by an invisible, giant hand.

The surrounding space was astonishingly stable, far beyond what Blue Star or even the Seventh Base could compare to.

He tried to extend his divine sense, but its range was compressed by a factor of thousands, making it as difficult to extend as if it were stuck in a quagmire.

The planet’s low orbit was breathtakingly busy.

Countless Starships of all shapes and sizes—some as small as darts, others as massive as mountains—traversed the space and docked in an orderly fashion at the massive interstellar port.

What made Li Wen’s pupils shrink was the sight of figures exuding powerful auras, crossing the River of Time with their physical bodies!

They continuously emerged from the River of Time, or simply tore through space to arrive.

Leo expertly maneuvered the Starship into the port’s traffic lane.

As the two of them stepped off the Starship and onto the vast, boundless interstellar port, the visceral shock of it all crested.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Several figures shrouded in a suffocating pressure shot past them like streaks of light.

They were, shockingly, several experts whose auras far surpassed Leo Lieyang’s—Tier Nine Star Lords!

Merely the energy ripples stirred up by their high-speed passage made Li Wen’s skin tingle and his breath catch in his throat.

However, an even more shocking scene followed immediately.

BOOM!

Not far away, space-time itself seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and the waters of the River of Time rippled outward.

Immediately after, a colossal figure that seemed to touch the heavens and stand upon the earth stepped out from within!

It was a giant tens of thousands of meters tall, glowing with a dark golden luster!

Its towering body seemed capable of splitting the Star River, and the pressure emanating from it swept over the entire port area like a physical tide.

On the port, countless individuals with weaker Cultivations turned pale and swayed on their feet. Some Venerables even dropped to one knee, unable to resist the terrifying, all-pervasive might.

The giant took a step, ignoring the massive interstellar port, its incomparably huge foot stepping directly toward Alka Planet’s atmosphere.

But just as its body was about to touch the planet’s atmosphere, something strange happened.

The terrifyingly massive body contracted rapidly like an illusion, vanishing in a flash of light.

In its place was a man of normal size, clad in dark gold armor.

With a calm expression, he took a single step and merged into the light and shadows of the planet below, as if the Star River-shaking giant from a moment ago had never existed.

”Is that an Immortal?” Li Wen murmured, staring blankly at the stunning scene. Even after the figure had vanished, he could feel the lingering pressure in the air, a remnant powerful enough to freeze his very soul.

Just a distant glimpse of that aura made his soul tremble to its core.

”Yes. An Immortal, a being above the Star Lords. A truly supreme existence standing at the pinnacle of the universe.”

Beside him, Leo Lieyang, a Tier Five Slaughter Centurion revered in any mid-level empire, spoke with a tone filled with deep reverence and longing.

”Their very life essence has undergone a transformation. They can change the size of their Divine Body at will, and their power pierces through all the realms of the Star River.”

”So strong... that aura,” Li Wen said, still shaken. His voice was laced with an almost imperceptible rasp.

Despite the immense distance, he could still feel a pressure powerful enough to crush anything with ease.

’If I got any closer, would that intangible aura have crushed me to dust?’

An Immortal probably only needed a single thought, and their stray aura would be enough to completely obliterate a low-tier Star Lord like him!

”Let’s go. Now that we’re on Alka Planet, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to witness the grandeur of the Immortals. They’re rare, but not completely out of reach here.”

Leo Lieyang clapped Li Wen on the shoulder.

Li Wen took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and nodded. He then followed Leo, flying toward the port’s exit.

The powerful gravity of Alka Star was like an invisible shackle, causing his flight speed to plummet.

He was nowhere near as fast or agile as he was in the void of space; it felt as if he were trying to move with a heavy mountain on his back.

As they flew, Li Wen’s gaze continuously swept over the planet’s surface below.

Everywhere he looked revealed the imperial planet’s extreme prosperity and splendor.

Cloud-piercing clusters of buildings shimmered with multicolored spiritual light.

The sky was crisscrossed by countless flying vehicles and the streaking lights of Cultivators, forming a dense and orderly three-dimensional traffic network.

On the ground, mountains and rivers had been meticulously sculpted, dotted with magnificent palace complexes and strange, beautiful ecosystems.

The entire planet was a super-metropolis and a sacred land for Cultivation, so vast it defied imagination.

What shocked Li Wen even more was that the weakest aura he could sense from any living being here was at the Venerable Realm.

The top experts from Blue Star seemed to be the most ordinary ”commoners” here.

Those in the Venerable Realm flew, worked, and traded here, appearing utterly unremarkable.

Auras of the Saint Realm were everywhere, some hurrying along, others strolling leisurely.

Li Wen even saw a burly man, whose aura was roughly that of a Tier Three Star Lord, sweating profusely as he hammered a piece of red-hot metal in a massive forge, his expression as focused as an ordinary blacksmith’s.

”Here, even Venerables seem like mere mortals...” Li Wen couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.
