Chapter 717 - 518: Void Refining Fourteenth Tribulation?
The Ancient Daoist and Daoist Qiong Ming followed closely behind, their figures like lightning, unleashing their Dao Power without reservation.
The Yin Yang Qi and the Decaying Divine Wind intertwined, transforming into two terrifying torrents, relentlessly striking the defensive barriers of the Divine Ark.
Bam—Bam—Bam—!
The cacophony of violent impacts echoed non-stop, causing the Divine Ark to tremble fiercely. The Dao Patterns on the vessel’s body showed signs of dimming.
Qin Ping’an’s breath was heavy, and his internal Dao Power was severely depleted.
Yet he dared not pause for a moment, exerting all his strength to propel the Divine Ark, his mind fixated on a single thought.
Escape from Chongli Heaven!
He must escape from Chongli Heaven!
He knew well that Chongli Heaven was the boundary between two Grand Thousand Worlds.
The rules were unique, prohibiting the entry of a Dharma Master.
Only those like the two Void Refining invincibles pursuing him could act with such wanton abandon.
But once he steps out of Chongli Heaven and into the core area of the Grand Thousand World, the rules of heaven and earth are complete, and the dignity of a Dharma Master is inviolable. These two would never dare act so brazenly.
As long as he can escape, he will be completely safe.
"You can’t escape!"
The furious roar of the Ancient Daoist pierced through the chaotic currents, reaching Qin Ping’an’s ears, full of anxiety and killing intent.
"Today, even if it means suffering backlash, I must leave you here!"
Daoist Qiong Ming’s voice followed, cold and ruthless:
"Indeed!"
"If you are wise, hand over the Holy Seal voluntarily,"
Qin Ping’an paid no heed, only striving with all his might to drive the Divine Ark.
He knew that the calculations in the hearts of these two were exactly the same as his own.
Once he escapes from Chongli Heaven, their plans will utterly collapse.
Not only would they fail to obtain the Holy Seal of Enlightenment, but they might also provoke the retaliation of a Dharma Master, leading to their demise.
Thus, they would certainly do everything in their power at the edge of Chongli Heaven, grappling with him to prevent him from taking a single step out.
Their apprehension was crystal clear in Qin Ping’an’s eyes.
But he was equally aware that his situation remained perilous in the extreme.
The Ancient Daoist and Daoist Qiong Ming were both invincible Void Refining experts, and their combined efforts were immensely powerful.
If not for the protection of the Divine Ark, he would have perished long ago.
Rumble——!
The void ahead suddenly erupted in intense turbulence, and the chaotic currents grew ever more violent.
The rules of heaven and earth became increasingly obscure, and there seemed to be an invisible barrier stretching across the void.
That was the edge of Chongli Heaven; once through this barrier, the Spirit Realm awaited, and therein lay his chance at survival!
"It’s there!"
Qin Ping’an’s eyes flickered with a hint of wild joy as he once again channeled his Dao Power into the Divine Ark. The vessel shone brilliantly, its speed increasing by another three parts, charging toward the invisible barrier.
"No! He’s about to break through! Quick! Stop him!"
The Ancient Daoist’s expression shifted dramatically as he shouted sharply, accelerating once more and rapidly forming a seal with his hands.
The Yin Yang Boundary Talisman in his palm burst forth with radiant light, smashing toward the stern of the Divine Ark.
Daoist Qiong Ming’s face also changed, and he no longer held back. With a fierce shake of the Primordial Decay Divine Banner, countless currents of Decaying Divine Wind erupted again, more violent than before.
A jet-black torrent wrapped around the body of the Divine Ark, attempting to slow its pace and drag it back.
Hiss——
The Decaying Divine Wind wrapped around the vessel, producing a piercing friction sound as the breaking illusions Dao Patterns on the hull grew dimmer and dimmer.
Qin Ping’an felt immense resistance, and the speed of the Divine Ark suddenly slowed. He was just a step away from the invisible barrier, yet unable to inch forward.
"Hahaha!"
"You still can’t escape!"
"Our Great Dao is within reach!"
With a flash, he appeared in front of the Divine Ark, forming seals with both hands. The path of Yin Yang Two Elements exploded once more, transforming into a massive Yin Yang screen that completely enveloped the vessel, cutting off Qin Ping’an’s retreat.
Daoist Qiong Ming stood at the stern, continuously summoning the Decaying Divine Wind, corroding the vessel’s defenses.
The two surrounded Qin Ping’an from front and back, entangling him tightly, giving no chance of escape.
Qin Ping’an’s face was pale as a hint of despair arose in his heart, with the defense of the Divine Ark on the verge of shattering.
Could it be that today he would truly fall here at the edge of Chongli Heaven, paving the way to the Death Dao?
At this moment of life-and-death crisis, the chaotic currents suddenly stilled!
A somewhat familiar aura slowly emanated from the depths of the void, initially as weak as a thread, then in a flash, it surged by millions of times, like a tsunami swallowing the heavens or thunder striking the earth, sweeping across the universe!
This aura carried an endless power of tribulations, with thunder echoing loudly, shaking the minds of the Ancient Daoist and Daoist Qiong Ming, and their Dao Hearts trembled.
Across the sky, tribulation clouds gathered in response, lightning danced like dragons and snakes, instantly shrouding the entire void.
Buzz——!
A resounding hum reverberated through the universe, as countless tiny cracks spread through the void.
A gray-gold figure broke through the void, slowly appearing beneath the tribulation clouds.
This person wore a profound Daoist Robe, on which seemed to flicker the calamity thunder of heaven and earth, with myriad winds of tribulation howling, his aura solid as mountains, overwhelmingly domineering.
His features were stern, his eyes swirling with tribulation light, seeming to penetrate the tribulations of heaven and earth, discerning the rise and fall of all things, exuding a majestic aura that suppressed eternity merely by standing in the void.
It was Qiyang!
His gaze swept over the Ancient Daoist and Daoist Qiong Ming like a cold blade, and the aura of tribulation around him surged profoundly, erupting like a volcanic explosion.
"Extinguish the Tribulation!"
Boom——!
A thunderous explosion resounded, changing the color of the heavens and earth.
The tribulation clouds gathered in response, transforming into an infinite Tribulation Dao Domain, enveloping the Ancient Daoist, Daoist Qiong Ming, and even Qin Ping’an’s Divine Ark.
