Chapter 366: The Platform Descends?
While the battle was raging below, Lin Wu was enjoying it freely. He had eaten quite a few of the meaty snacks that he had prepared, and he had to say that it was the best decision he had taken before.
“Ah, this is the life! Eat food, watch entertainment while lounging around.” Lin Wu said, feeling pleased.
But while he was watching the battle, he had not forgotten about the formations of the platform. He had asked the system to analyze and see what was going on and he had finally gotten the answer.
~Ding~

ANALYSIS: Competed
NOTIFICATION: The formation array of the platform is synchronizing with the temple below. Exchange signals in the form of spirit Qi waves can be sensed as well. Once the synchronization is complete, the platform will continue its descent.

“Ah, no wonder it looked like that. So it’s just waiting for the ‘airport’ to give it the landing permission.” Lin Wu chuckled.
~boom~
He looked back down and saw the state of the battle, which was now reaching its end. More than half of the participants were now out of commission while two out of the eight Nascent Soul realm cultivators were also dead.
This was quite shocking to the people as Nascent Soul realm rarely ever died, even in large battles such as these. Sure they would be injured but they would be able to escape with their lives with ease if they had to.
This had also flipped the odds of the battle and made it so that the city Mayor was at a disadvantage now. It was now that the people had started to despair about it, but then they saw something shocking once again.
~Weeng~
“Ah? It started to move again.” Lin Wu said, feeling a slight jerk.
~Ding~

SYNCHRONIZATION: Competed

With the system’s input, Lin Wu now knew that it was time for action.
~huu~
“Let’s get to it then shall we… gotta give my best expression.” Lin Wu said to himself as his body glowed and enlarged.
In a few seconds, it had reached the full size of hundred meters and all of his spikes were extended to the limit. Spirit Qi revolved around his body as it alternated between normal spirit Qi and wind attribute spirit Qi.
Lin Wu took a look back at the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle and saw that she was still recovering. Though from the faint fluctuations of spirit Qi coming from her body, Lin Wu could at least tell this much that she was in a much better state than before.
Even if the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle might not be able to fight at her full strength, she would still be able to kill plenty of Nascent Soul realm cultivators. Looking at her, Lin Wu wondered if he should wake her up or not, but then reckoned that it might better to just let her wake up naturally… or as naturally as it could be in a noisy battlefield.

At the ruins of the city, a lot of the people were pointing at the object that was rapidly descending from the sky.
“What is that? Is that a bird?”
“No, it is like a rock.”
The commoners who did not have great vision like the cultivators guessed. But the cultivators were clearly able to see what it was. They recognized the patterns and runes that were around the bottom of the platform.
“Another ruin?” one of the core condensation realm cultivators commented.
“No… not just that. It’s a flying rune too!” his opponent, who had been fighting him just a minute ago, added.
Nearly everyone had stopped fighting once they saw the large platform descending from the sky.
“Wait! It can’t be crashing here, can it?” someone said, feeling a bit afraid.
His words reached the ears of the others, and they all became concerned. If an object like that was truly about to crash into the city here, it was unlikely that anything would be able to survive.
The temple ruins that had just appeared in the city might even be lost to the falling platform. This made them wonder why it was appearing here, but those who were a bit proficient in formations understood the relation between the temple and the falling platform.
“No, while it looks like it is falling, it’s not. It’s actually descending in a controlled manner.” The old man who worked as a waiter in the tea shop spoke.
If one looked at him right now they would see around four core condensation realm cultivators dead around him. He himself was radiating spirit Qi fluctuations of a person that was in the peak stage of the core condensation realm.
“Hahaha! More fortunate encounters for us!” Old Man Tiandi exclaimed before looking at Jiao Fan.
“See that Jiao Fan, even the heavens don’t agree with you and have sent this here.” Old Man Tiandi taunted once again.
He continued staring at Jiao Fan, fully expecting him to snap and retaliate. But even after ten seconds the man did not move his gaze from the platform in the sky. By now it had come over two kilometers Down and the people could roughly estimate its size.
“Cat got your tongue, Jiao Fan? You go nothing to say?” Old Man Tiandi spoke.
Jiao Fan furrowed his brows and finally turned to look at Old Man Tiandi.
“You really have gone senile with age, Old Man Tiandi.” Jiao Fan replied, much to Tiandi’s anger.
The old man was extremely hypocritical. While he liked to taunt and insult others, he himself could not take the same. Jiao Fan saw the change in expression on the old man and shook his head.
“Even talking to you is useless and you saw you are the leader of these men,” Jiao Fan gestured to the other cultivators. “When you can’t even tell the danger that is fast approaching us.” He added.
“Danger? What do you mean?” Old Man Tiandi asked, truly feeling confused.
And just as he asked this, the platform had descended low enough for them to observe its upper side.
Soon they were greeted by two massive beasts, one of which gave them a large toothy grin.
