Chapter 117: Chapter 117 [Finding the Fragments of the Immortal Heaven Ladder]

Translator: 549690339

For efficiency’s sake, the Tower of Brahma created a space, stuffed the Level 4, 5, and 6 zombies into it, and traveled with this space to other planets.

Just as it had anticipated, copious life-bearing planets have already fallen victim to the Level 6 zombie. Every one of them was completely overrun with zombies, with no life left.

The Tower of Brahma continually journeyed across the universe, pursuing the escaped Level 6 zombie. It found out that the zombie virus was already spreading throughout the universe, as Level 6 zombies were constantly being born and moving on to other worlds.

It had visited dozens of life-bearing planets, and all were infested with zombies – a truly disheartening sight.

During its travels, several times it felt a pull of force trying to drag it back to Jiuzhou. It deployed its spatial abilities and fled at rapid speed.

It couldn’t allow a fall in Jiuzhou before completing its great endeavor.

The Tower of Brahma also encountered a planet where the technological advancement had reached a stage where it was possible to mine energy from a constant star. Yet, that still couldn’t stand up against the devastation of the Level 6 zombie. The planet itself, along with its colonies, all became zombie nests.

The inhabitants of the planet constructed an enormous spaceship that could fit millions of people. They tried to flee their homeland and were seeking a livable planet, however, a noble snuck their infected daughter on board which led to the entire spaceship becoming a zombie nest.

Upon hearing of an infected individual who, whilst still conscious, drove an escape spaceship away from the zombie nest, the Tower of Brahma followed the spaceship’s track and arrived above Luo Ying’s planet.

It sensed that, despite the hordes of zombies on the planet, there were still survivors of the human race, instantly bringing a sense of elation.

Finally. After facing zombies every single day, actual living humans were found at last.

“Hm?” The Tower of Brahma suddenly felt a pang of unease. “My master, what seems to be the issue?” a Level 6 zombie questioned.

“I have a sudden dreadful premonition,” the Tower of Brahma answered hesitantly. Having been imbued with consciousness, it had never experienced a feeling like this before.

“Could there be something on this planet that threatens me? That’s not plausible…” it murmured to itself. Being an Immortal Artifact, there was hardly anything that could pose a threat to it. Even Level 7 or 8 zombies weren’t a cause for concern.

“I’ve found you!”

A horrifying voice emerged from below. The Tower of Brahma, feeling a chill run down its fell, twisted its structure to look down, and nearly lost its soul in fright.

The Human Emperor of Jiuzhou was hurtling out from the planet’s surface, heading directly towards it with an imposing aura!

Run!

Instantly, the Tower of Brahma made its decision. It ripped the space open and ducked in. As for the zombies it brought along…they could wait. The immediate priority was to escape.

The group of zombies looked at each other in consternation as they saw the Tower of Brahma vanish before their eyes, struggling to comprehend its actions.

“Buddha bless, our master must have a plan,” said one of them.

Jiang Li flew to where the Tower of Brahma had just been and cast a glance over the group of zombies bathed in the Buddha’s light. He quickly understood what the Tower of Brahma had done on this world and revealed a faint smile.

The space ripped open by the Tower of Brahma was already mending itself, only to be ripped open again by Jiang Li.

“It should, it should be safe now…” The Tower of Brahma murmured to itself uneasily as it arrived at a constant star, far from its previous location.

It was dozens of light-years away from where it had been. Even the exceptional Human Emperor of Jiuzhou couldn’t possibly exceed the speed of light to reach it.

Having heard that the Human Emperor was not adept in spatial manipulation, the Tower of Brahma was even more confident that it wouldn’t be caught.

To its shock, the space it had just ripped was torn open again with Jiang Li’s head poking out while his body remained in a different dimension, looking down at it.

The Tower of Brahma swore in its mind, accusing the emperor, all the while tearing the space apart with its hands again.

Jiang Li may not have been adept in manipulating space, but if anyone dared to rip apart the space to escape, he could do the same and follow the trajectory to catch up!

“Run again!”

The Tower of Brahma once again warped through the space, only to be followed by Jiang Li quickly after.

Although Jiang Li could keep up with the pace of the Brahma Sky Tower, the speed at which the tower’s space-jumped was too fast, nearly without any pause, which caused him significant trouble.

The Brahma Sky Tower kept fleeing through the universe, sometimes reaching the asteroid belt, sometimes delving deep into the heart of planets, with Jiang Li relentlessly pursuing it from behind.

The tower even threw many spatial cubes at Jiang Li. He brought his fingers together, flicked them to the side, and all the dimensional cubes flew past him, blasting countless planets into oblivion.

“Take this!”

The Brahma Sky Tower shouted, cutting the space where Jiang Li stood into pieces, like tearing a piece of paper into seven or eight fragments, and naturally, the figures on the paper would be separated along with the torn paper.

Head, four limbs, two segments of the torso, Jiang Li’s body was moved to seven different spaces.

Jiang Li could see his back with his own eyes, which felt absolutely strange.

He could control every part of his body, as if his body had just been separated from the superficial space, but at a deeper space level, his body was still connected.

Jiang Li cried out loudly, putting his body back together and continued to pursue the Brahma Sky Tower.

A man and a tower chasing all over the universe, reaching heaven and earth, nowhere was left untouched. After several days’ relentless chase, the Brahma Sky Tower finally fled this world, tearing the space apart and heading toward the void. Jiang Li followed suit, entering the void and delivering a punch to the tower.

The several layers of spatial protection, encircling the Brahma Sky Tower, shattered one by one, the remaining energy impacted the tower, making its body tremble and momentarily disconcerted. In this opportunity, Jiang Li reached out his hand to grab the tower.

The Brahma Sky Tower tried to use its spatial powers to escape from Jiang Li’s hand, but it was horrified to find that Jiang Li’s hand was like forbidden zone, it could not use its spatial powers at all.

“Hahaha, finally, I’ve caught you. Be proud, you’re the penultimate one that I’ve caught.” Jiang Li laughed menacingly, like a villain.

“Who else have you not caught?” The Brahma Sky Tower asked despondently.

“Past and Present Sword.”

“Bringing you back to Jiuzhou doesn’t mean that I will kill you, why are you running?”

“We immortal artifacts are free!” The Brahma Sky Tower clamored, “Your human race is oppressing immortal artifacts, we must resist.”

“Mount Sumeru’s old Buddha died, and Wu Zhi became the new Buddha.” Jiang Li suddenly said.

“What?” The Brahma Sky Tower was taken aback, “Mount Sumeru was invaded by the heavenly demon, and the old Buddha died.”

Jiang Li shook his head, “The old Buddha was bewitched by the Demon, and he was killed by me…”

Jiang Li stopped in mid-sentence, and the Brahma Sky Tower understood what he meant, it anxiously said, “But Wu Zhi is only at the Nascent Soul Stage, how can he command respect, what if others bully him?”

Although Mount Sumeru’s status is determined by the Buddhist law, that only applies to those monks with high attainment in Buddhism. Those ordinary monks definitely think that Wu Zhi is unworthy of his position and would marginalize him.

Jiang Li knew he had guessed correctly, the Brahma Sky Tower recognized Wu Zhi’s Buddhist nature and cared about him, otherwise, Wu Zhi wouldn’t have possessed the genuine Brahma Sky Tower, rather than a knock-off.

Even if the old Buddha had handed over the Brahma Sky Tower to Wu Zhi to protect him, due to the dignity of an immortal artifact, the tower would not allow a Nascent Soul Stage to own it.

Bringing the Brahma Sky Tower back to Jiuzhou forcefully was just a temporary measure, if he wanted the tower to truly stay in Jiuzhou, he needed to rely on emotions.

“Alright, I’ll go back with you,” the Brahma Sky Tower said. It felt a natural kinship with Wu Zhi, even before it had attained sentience, and this feeling intensified after it did.

It knew that with the old Buddha present, Wu Zhi could grow smoothly, so it left without worry. Now that the old Buddha had died, it felt the duty to fulfill its role as a Buddhist treasure and protect Wu Zhi.

“But first, we need to go back and deal with the zombie issue.” The Brahma Sky Tower said.

Exactly what Jiang Li wanted.

Both man and tower returned to the zombie world.
