Chapter 714 - 518: Void Refining Fourteenth Tribulation? (Part 2)
But this sting didn’t make them show fear; instead, it was replaced by an extreme delight.
"The thought is extinguished!"
On the left, a cultivator in a cyan robe, with an ancient face, slapped the stone table abruptly, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement and ecstasy:
"The person from Bai Ze’s Grotto Heaven has finally come out! Our efforts weren’t in vain after all!"
"Let’s go!"
The two exchanged a glance and saw determination in each other’s eyes.
They had laid in ambush here, plotting for ten thousand years.
Ever since they discovered Bai Ze’s Grotto Heaven, they’ve been waiting for the day the sacred restriction would weaken and the people inside would emerge.
Now, they’ve finally seized the opportunity.
One of them practiced with a legacy from the Tianming Immortal Mountain’s Yuanmiao Loose Immortal.
Among their skills was a mystical treasure technique capable of breaking through the void barrier, distinguishing treasured auras, and deducing heavenly trajectory.
It was with this treasure technique that they pierced through Chongli Heaven’s chaotic currents and uncovered the essence of the grotto suspended in chaos.
Though incomplete, it was genuinely a seventh-ranked Heaven-Reaching Ancient Treasure!
Their calculations had been run a million times, and every detail was meticulously considered.
If not for worrying that the palace was sentient and might escape if surrounded by an array formation, they would’ve already deployed the Heaven and Earth Net.
At the moment, their greed and ambition were already uncontrollable.
"This is our path! Even if we only dismantle the Holy Seal for materials, it could fetch us a thousand eight hundred contribution points from the Immortal Mountains."
"It’s enough to acquire Yuanmiao Qingyang Stone and Taesu Xuan Guang. With these supreme materials, our cultivation could soar to new heights!"
"Indeed!"
"Big brother’s Yin Yang Two Rites Boundary Setting Divine Technique and my Yuanmiao Mohua Divine Wind could both be cultivated to Great Success, advancing to the Void Refining Fourteenth Tribulation."
"Moreover, with both divine techniques perfected, we might leverage their transformation to comprehend the Dharma Seed prototype..."
"Then, we might break free of constraints, transcend the Void Refining realm, achieving the dignity of a Dharma Master!"
"Longevity equal to heaven and earth, brilliance akin to sun and moon!"
As the words fell, both figures flickered simultaneously, transforming into two streams of light, bursting through the grotto’s dome, stirring the winds and clouds, dimming sun, moon, and stars.
...
In the chaos of the Southwest skies of Chongli Heaven.
Chaos surged, divine winds howled, billions of stars fragments rushed in the currents, seemingly ready to tear everything apart.
Qin Ping’an stood upon the void, ready to activate the Enlightened Holy Seal to discern direction and head to the Spirit Realm.
Suddenly, he heard a loud Dao chant from the chaos ahead, causing the void to tremble slightly.
"Hold your steps, Daoist Friend!"
As the voice fell, a figure in a cyan robe strode out of the void, stepping on Yin Yang clouds, with clouds surging and sun and moon manifesting, stars revolving, Dao power towering like the sea.
He stood on Qin Ping’an’s path, hands behind his back, slowly chanting an esoteric Dao incantation, his voice resonating throughout the void:
"One sleeve harboring countless tribulations, Two Rites driving illusory dust, Birth and death never ceasing, One original true Qi filling the vastness."
"I am the Ancient Daoist!"
"Daoist friend, you just extinguished my Divine Thought, so today I shall resolve this karma with your life!"
With that, he flicked his sleeve!
Boom——
A deafening sound echoed across the cosmos!
The Ancient Daoist’s Dao power exploded within, Yin Yang Two Rites Dao instantly sweeping the surroundings.
A sleeve flicked out, heavens and earth formed a domain!
Within his sleeve, a rolling "galaxy" suddenly spanned the stars.
Flowing neither water nor stars!
It was millions of black and white Yin Yang Qi strands, akin to hair strands, and numerous vibrating particles embodying the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.
These particles stretched and contracted, opened and closed, occasionally merging into Yang, occasionally transforming into Yin, interchanging continually, numerous tributaries forming a grand river.
Yin Yang Qi entwined and interwove, forming a vast Heaven and Earth Array pattern, spawning countless miniature pocket worlds within the sleeve.
Each realm harbored the utmost Dao Rhyme of creation and destruction, whose life and death could trigger void tremors, primeval Qi agitation.
"Vast is the world within the sleeve, long is the sun and moon in the jar!"
"Capture!"
The Ancient Daoist’s sleeve, like a bottomless abyss, instantly enveloped the limitless space-time, terrifying suction from the sleeve wrapped Qin Ping’an tight within that vast killing realm.
The surrounding chaotic void was torn and distorted by this suction, turning into nothingness.
Bang—— Bang—— Bang——!
Continuous blasts resounded, echoing throughout the Southwest void of Chongli Heaven, even more violent than billions of stars crashing simultaneously.
Countless miniature pocket worlds within the sleeve erupted, each burst wielding power enough to annihilate ordinary Void Refining cultivators.
Yin Yang Qi scattered and surged, particles from the Two Rites violently splashed, piercing the void wherever they went.
A great calamity!
A great calamity!
Qin Ping’an’s Divine Soul rang alarm bells fiercely, a lethal sense of crisis stabbing his perception sea, causing his Dao Heart to quiver.
"Such strong Yin Yang Two Rites power! Such domineering world within the sleeve!"
"It appears to be an invincible Void Refining!"
In the critical moment, Qin Ping’an was guarded by Bai Ze’s power, and his Heart Spirit instantly calmed.
"Born from illusion, returning to illusion, illusion in heart hold myriad laws, roaming between real and illusion at will!"
With his thought moving, his true form burst into a stream of light, then scattered into a hundred eighty thousand illusions...
Each illusion identical to the true form, ethereal like smoke and mist, seemingly real and unreal.
Illusion could turn to true form, true form could hide in illusion flow!
Countless illusions intertwined, transforming into a vast illusion mist, navigating through the killing realm within the sleeve, evading the destructive power of the exploding pocket worlds.
