Chapter 329 - 276: The Might of the Great Divine Power User—Expository Teaching United Fails Before a Single Strike! (Part 2)
[One of the Golden Immortals of the Expository Teaching observing the battle saw the fierce might of the two, and his expression slightly changed, eyes filled with dread.]
[At this moment, he had no choice but to take action, or else the grand array would be broken. With a flip of his hand, he gently tossed out a treasure seal that transformed into a flash of golden light, harshly striking towards the Demon Pill Nezha at the forefront.]
["Bang!"]
[Caught off guard, Nezha was struck by the treasure seal, and the overwhelming demonic flames on him instantly scattered, causing him to faint on the spot.]
["Nezha!"]
[Ao Bing turned back, extending his dragon claw to hold Nezha, and his momentum was immediately halted, soon being submerged within a golden sea of people.]
[The golden high wall gathered once more, trapping the three firmly with no chance of escape.]
[The Golden Immortal of the Expository Teaching who knocked Nezha unconscious with the "Treasure Seal" was none other than the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals, Guang Chengzi. His expression was indifferent as he slowly retracted the Heaven-Overturning Treasure Seal in his hand. He looked towards the True Dragon still struggling valiantly within the array but did not take further action.]
[That Spirit Pearl Ao Bing was heavily injured, and although Shen Zhengdao had considerable magical power, he was ultimately just a loose cultivator. Without Nezha, their main force, the two could not break the grand array and were no longer a concern.]
[Roar——]
[Ao Bing carefully cradled the unconscious Nezha in one claw, while the other claw forcefully resisted the all-encompassing golden light.]
[Beside him, Shen Zhengdao continuously followed Ao Bing and Nezha’s impact on the array, but being just an ordinary cultivator, his magical power was long exhausted. With a muffled groan, his left arm was severed by a flash of golden light, spraying blood. His face turned pale as he gritted his teeth, barely holding on.]
["Ding ding ding!"]
[Ao Bing lifted his claw to protect the incapacitated Shen Zhengdao. Lacking one support, he was the only True Dragon sustaining inside the array, the pressure suddenly increased. The golden light slashed fiercely dense as knives against his dragon body, scales shattered, blood flowing.]
[The Dragon Race’s combat instincts and the power of the Spirit Pearl were pushed to the extreme at this moment. Ao Bing swung his dragon claws, the power of the Spirit Pearl surging, repelling the approaching golden light time and again. Despite the dense attacks of the Expository Teaching Sect disciples, they could not completely capture him.]
["You vile creature! Still not surrendering?!"]
[Jealous Sun, one of the attacking Golden Immortals of the Expository Teaching, stood above, glaring coldly at the scene below. Seeing Ao Bing tear open another section of the golden light barrier, his expression turned sour, and he shouted harshly.]
[Ao Bing’s forehead Spirit Pearl emitted a fierce blue light, stirring the vast Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.]
[Above the Jade Void Palace, dark clouds gathered, lightning and thunder rumbled.]
[At that instant, the spiritual qi storm churned the clouds, forming a vortex above the Jade Void Palace, yet suddenly a crisp sound erupted from his dragon body—crack—a visible fissure appeared.]
[That fissure rapidly spread; the lotus body ultimately could not withstand the impact of the Spirit Pearl’s power, nearing collapse.]
["Ah——" Ao Bing’s eyes turned blood red as he suddenly spat out a blue breath.]
[A pillar of light piercing the heavens intertwined with the raging spiritual qi storm. This breath did not smash towards the golden high wall but fiercely bombarded the Jade Void Palace below.]
["Audacious!!"]
[Infinite Immortal Elder watched the tempest akin to the wrath of the heavens crashing towards the Jade Void Palace, his expression changed dramatically, unable to maintain composure. With a violent swing of his staff, it transformed into a towering tree, lush with branches and leaves, yet shattered under the blue light pillar.]
[Simultaneously, he shouted severely, "All junior brothers, act swiftly!"]
[Seeing this, the ten Golden Immortals guarding the array could not let the Jade Void Palace be destroyed, each displaying their own methods. Guang Chengzi took the lead, throwing out the "Heaven-Overturning Treasure Seal"; the seal grew in the wind, morphing into a great mountain, smashing through the blue light pillar. The other Golden Immortals exhibited their divine techniques, magical power surging, resisting the violent spiritual qi storm.]
["Boom!"]
[The two forces clashed fiercely, with tangible shockwaves spreading in all directions, causing the world to tremble. The golden light above the Jade Void Palace was shattered and dispersed, the celestial vault ripped open with a gigantic tear. The fierce wind howled incessantly, with numerous palaces collapsing.]
["A chance!"]
[A glint flashed in Ao Bing’s eyes, seeing the array broken and the Golden Immortals of the Expository Teaching busy fending off the spiritual qi storm, unable to attend to him. He seized this fleeting opportunity, clawing the unconscious Nezha and the heavily injured, exhausted Shen Zhengdao tightly. Transforming into a stream of light amidst the chaos, he shot skyward, racing towards the outside of the Jade Void Palace, fleeing to the distance.]
["Swish!"]
[At this moment, a golden rope, serpentine like a spiritual snake, shot down from the clouds swiftly, too fast to evade. The rope shimmering with golden light was precisely Jealous Sun’s magical treasure, the "Immortal Binding Rope."]
[The rope instantly coiled around Ao Bing’s dragon body, binding him securely.]
["Boom!"]
[Ao Bing’s magical power was cut off, crashing heavily into the mountain below.]
[Jealous Sun stood aloft in the clouds, his robe slightly disheveled, looking coldly at Ao Bing struggling under the "Immortal Binding Rope," saying coldly, "You vile creature, committing heinous crimes, where do you think you can escape to?"]
[Roar!]
[Ao Bing looked up at the overwhelming golden light, his eyes full of reluctance and despair. He glanced down at the unconscious Nezha and the gravely injured Shen Zhengdao in his embrace. Bound by the "Immortal Binding Rope," his dragon body could not move, nor could he summon even a trace of magical power, his strength to struggle gradually dissipating.]
[He had done his best, but he couldn’t escape.]
[Infinite Immortal Elder glanced at the Jade Void Palace, devastated by the shockwaves, then looked again at the half-airborne, some dead, some injured Expository Teaching Sect disciples, his expression as dark as water.]
[He spoke coldly, "Quite the Spirit Pearl! Nearly allowed you to escape in the sky. If it weren’t for our timely action, the Jade Void Palace might have been destroyed today."]
[Guang Chengzi held the Heaven-Overturning Seal, his expression grave, saying solemnly, "The Mixed Element Pearl was split in two by our Master. Only cultivating for three short years yet having such power, truly astonishing. If we weren’t coincidentally at the Jade Void Palace, with the ferocity of both the Spirit Pearl and the Demon Pill... unimaginable!"]
