Chapter 143 - 172: Destroying the Painting and Breaking the Brush, Immortal Gods Dwell in the Heavens, a Palm Descends to Punish
The three of them stared blankly at the scene, stunned speechless for a long moment.
"It’s him!!"
Among Chancellor Chen’s retinue, a maidservant in red was utterly shocked!
Terror flickered in her eyes.
It felt as if a colossal hand had seized her by the throat!
Hopeless and suffocating!
After an unknown amount of time, Chancellor Chen barked, "Men!"
The guards behind him immediately stepped forward, but before Chancellor Chen could order them to dig up the entire area,
Wang Feng, who was standing nearby, directed his Jade Brush to smash viciously into the ground beneath them!
BOOM!
Silver light erupted from the Jade Brush. The ground quaked as a massive pit was blasted open.
Then, under Wang Feng’s relentless assault,
The pit grew deeper... and deeper...
After an indeterminate amount of time, Wang Feng’s right hand, which was controlling the Jade Brush, suddenly froze. He stared down into the deep pit, completely stunned.
Chancellor Chen and Tao Dian hurried over to look. Their eyes widened instantly, their pupils constricting in shock!
At the bottom of the pit Wang Feng had dug, several heads and arms were exposed.
They were unmistakably the people from the Evil Spirit Pavilion they had just seen in the vision!
Their entire bodies were embedded deep within the earth and stone, as if they had been fused with Dongchan Mountain itself.
A few of the stronger ones had somehow survived. Seeing the light above, they despairingly reached out, pleading for rescue.
The sight was as horrifying as it was absurd.
They looked just like insects trapped in amber!
To tear Dongchan Mountain apart with a single thought, seal people within it, and then seamlessly close the mountain back up again...
Such a display of power was worthy of Immortal Gods, far beyond anything they could comprehend.
The three of them had never seen or heard of anything like it.
They couldn’t possibly imagine what kind of peerless master could accomplish such a feat so effortlessly.
No wonder the Evil Spirit Pavilion members never emerged, no matter how long everyone waited. They had been treated like mere insects and casually sealed within Dongchan Mountain!
Thinking of that tyrannical, boundless Fist Intent!
Tao Dian’s expression shifted, and he subconsciously blurted out, "Could it be the one who recently entered the Saint Realm!?"
’It had to be!’
Besides that individual, who else in the Imperial City could possibly do this?
"Who are you referring to, Lord Tao?"
Hearing Tao Dian’s exclamation, Chancellor Chen quickly inquired.
Tao Dian’s expression was complex. He just shook his head, unwilling to say more.
Chancellor Chen, reading the situation, didn’t dare to press the issue. After a moment of thought, he turned his inquiry elsewhere. "Lord Wang, I wonder, is your Jade Brush capable of sketching the likeness of the one who split this mountain?"
A flicker of curiosity crossed Wang Feng’s face. He nodded. "I’ll give it a try!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Feng channeled his True Qi and once again activated the Jade Brush.
This time, the Jade Brush sketched with incredible speed. A scene materialized, showing a group of people gathered around the Purple Fir Wood, chatting casually.
Then, one person in the image began to stand out!
Wang Feng’s gaze narrowed. He lunged forward and gripped the brush himself!
He began to sketch, stroke by painstaking stroke.
A figure gradually materialized before them.
First the legs of the trousers and the sleeves, then the upper body, and finally the distinct outline...
With every stroke, Wang Feng’s face grew a shade paler. Sweat streamed down his forehead, soaking his robes.
But just as he was about to sketch the person’s face!
The figure in his drawing suddenly looked up. From its blurred, indistinct face, a pair of brilliant golden eyes stared directly at Wang Feng.
In that instant, a sliver of peerlessly sharp Fist Intent erupted from the tiny figure’s body!
BOOM—
An invisible Fist Intent seemed to tear through the heavens!
Wang Feng remained frozen, his hand still clamped around the Jade Brush.
Before the others could process what was happening, they saw it.
CRACK!
The century-old Purple Fir Wood beside them let out a crisp sound!
The massive trunk of the Purple Fir Wood abruptly exploded from its center, sending wood fragments flying everywhere!
A clear Fist Seal was visible on the sundered ends.
As if someone had obliterated it with a single punch!
Shattering along with the Purple Fir Wood were the Jade Brush in Wang Feng’s hand and even a few strands of hair at his temples.
Wang Feng stared blankly at the dissipating figure, looking stupefied. He kept muttering a single word, "Fist... Fist..."
He couldn’t bring himself to utter the final word: "Saint."
"I can’t believe it... It really is him..."
Wang Feng muttered to himself.
As the tide of horror in his heart slowly receded,
he finally noticed that the Jade Brush in his hand had snapped in two, its light completely extinguished.
He let out a pained wail, his heart aching with regret!
The Wang Family had two great heirlooms: the Realm Seal and the Gathering Truth Brush.
The former had been destroyed last time, outside the Imperial City.
It was unfortunately caught in the crossfire when two Great Powers of the Dao Palace Realm clashed and was shattered into pieces.
Now, their only remaining heirloom, the Gathering Truth Brush,
had also been broken!
’What kind of damn luck is this?!’
Wang Feng felt like crying but had no tears. He was in no mood to exchange pleasantries with Chancellor Chen and the others.
He gave a cursory salute, flicked his sleeves, and vanished.
...
’This is bad! I have to get out of here!’
Dozens of miles from Dongchan Mountain,
a maidservant in red clothes was fleeing in a panic!
She had already changed her appearance.
It was the red-eyed woman who had been at Chaos’s side!
Ever since she saw that sliver of tyrannical, boundless Fist Intent in the vision,
the red-eyed woman had recognized him at a glance. It was the mysterious Dao Palace Realm Great Power who had severely wounded her leader.
Now, only a few days later, his power seemed even greater!
During this time, she had used her Divine Techniques to infiltrate the Prime Minister’s Mansion and had already uncovered some information about the True Dragon Blood Bead.
She was just about to execute the next phase of her plan.
But she never expected to run into him again!
’Run! I have to run!’
The thought branded itself into her mind like an ancient, tyrannical curse, impossible to erase.
ROAR!
The next moment, consumed by terror, she let out a frightening roar and transformed into an exceptionally terrifying Fierce Beast!
She had revealed her True Body.
This Fierce Beast resembled a tiger the size of an ox, with a pair of wings and Dragon Horns sprouting from its head.
Its eyes were crimson, its expression savage.
It was none other than the Fierce Beast of ancient legend—the Qiongqi!
"Stay."
Just as she had fled for hundreds of miles and was about to breathe a sigh of relief,
a voice descended from the depths of the heavens!
A golden hand, like one plucking an insect,
descended from the sky!
The Qiongqi’s face filled with despair!
But no matter how it struggled, it could not escape the golden hand’s grasp.
Finally, it was caught in that single grasp.
All that remained was the brilliant, golden imprint of a palm—a Palm Seal spanning dozens of miles across the sky!
The aura it radiated...
was majestic, boundless, sublime, and inviolable!
From that day on, a legend was passed down through generations of the surrounding residents.
That an Immortal God dwelt in the heavens, and upon seeing an Evil Beast devouring mortals, reached down a hand to deliver judgment, restoring peace and clarity to the world.
...
After returning to the prison, Su Bai carried the Seventh Sequence in one hand and a Qiongqi in the other, swiftly heading into the prison’s depths.
In the blink of an eye, Su Bai arrived at the mysterious cavern.
’Keeping them in the outer cells was a bit too conspicuous.’ After a moment’s thought, Su Bai had already come up with a better place for these two.
He entered the depths of the cavern and searched for a moment.
He then found two black chains that he found passable and casually shackled them.
"There! From now on, this will be your new home!"
Su Bai said with narrowed eyes and a gentle smile.
