356: Chapter 83: Multicolored_2 356: Chapter 83: Multicolored_2 Ao Ying’s long hair whipped about as she injected all of her essence blood into Feng Mou.
The secret treasure emitted a crimson blood light, wrapping the demoness within.
Buzz!
After a violent trembling!
The space before Xie Xuanyi shattered instantly, and Ao Ying disappeared amid the wind and sand.
“This strike pierced through at least a hundred li of the void.”
Xie Xuanyi gazed at the slowly resealing wind and sand, muttering softly, “A hundred li…
she should be able to escape, right?”
Ao Ying had already left.
With her Divine Soul Realm, she could not see within this wind and sand—the Power of Dao that lingered was not of one kind alone.
Besides Ruyi Dao,
There was also an extremely faint Power of Dao… clinging to the sand and dust.
This Power of Dao was hard to detect.
Yet with the tremors of the sand, as time passed, it became more and more abundant.
Individuals of the Yang God Realm would often perfectly meld their own Dao with their Lifebound Cave Heaven, giving rise to an entire world.
When such a person of this realm travels with their Tao Realm!
Then the Power of Dao,
Would naturally spread, covering a radius of several li.
Of course, the extent of the Dao’s coverage moved with the master’s thoughts.
“Rustle rustle…”
Xie Xuanyi stretched out his palm, gently grasping a handful of shattered sand.
The grains of sand that fell from the crevices of his palm were no longer grey-white, but tinted with the dreamy hues of colored glaze.
This scene signified one fact.
Peacock Venerable.
Had already arrived near the Lilan Mountain Range.
The Dayue Secret Realm was situated deep beneath Snow Mountain and was extremely well-hidden.
This Venerable had traveled a long way from Demon Country, and even with the guidance of “Prince” before entering the secret realm, it would presumably take some time to discern this realm amidst the wrappings of Black Evil and Illusion.
“No matter what…
at least the most difficult one to send away has gone,”
Xie Xuanyi slightly lowered his gaze, looking to the south.
He murmured quietly, “What follows will be a matter of everyone’s fate.”
…
…
“Speed up!”
“Faster!”
The wind and sand surged as two figures dashed at the forefront.
Shang Yi used the Zhao Rong Mirror to forge a path forward, employing the last of his Sword Qi to tear through the wind and sand, forcibly revealing a direction within the world enveloped by Ruyi Dao.
While Yu Wenzhong summoned the Panxuan Mirror to fiercely protect all those behind him!
Due to the issue of “Evil Smog,” a rift had formed between Qiantian Palace and Tai Shang House.
Chen Li had ordered the Qiantian Palace disciples not to stay too close to those of Tai Shang House.
But the Panxuan Mirror…
Did not exclude a single person.
Yu Wenzhong expended extra effort to save these Tai Shang House disciples…
in his view, asking these people for an explanation was a consideration for after they had survived and returned to Great Chu.
The urgency was to stay alive.
The wild wind howled as, on their journey, they were chased by Iron Cavalry and loose cultivators attempted to join the group.
At first,
Yu Wenzhong did not object, thinking to save one if he could.
However, these loose cultivators were indeed peculiar; their pupils seemed to flash with an odd light.
Cultivators of the stature of Yu Wenzhong and Shang Yi, when facing a significant crisis, their Heart Lake would ripple with premonitions.
Thus, when those loose cultivators got a bit closer,
Shang Yi immediately drew his sword, chopping down one of them—
In the moment he drew his sword,
The loose cultivator ignited themselves, choosing to self-destruct without hesitation!
Afterward,
More and more loose cultivators appeared within the wind and sand.
These individuals seemed to be afflicted by Gu Poison, akin to moths to a flame, launching attacks towards them.
Bursts of self-destruction sounded throughout the world; Shang Yi’s Zhao Rong Mirror’s Sword Qi was all used to slay these mind-lost “human counterparts.”
“These people have been influenced in their minds.”
“They are no longer ‘people,’ if encountered, one must not hesitate, but immediately slay them!”
Shang Yi realized that this secret realm was unstable due to the awakening of some ancient powerful force from a millennium ago!
Any cultivator harboring greed, wishing to seize fortunes within Great Yue Kingdom,
Had their Heart Lakes seized by this mysterious power.
These human race loose cultivators had become beings just like the Great Yue Iron Cavalry!
“Walking corpses, mere shells without souls.”
A fierce battle ensued.
Disciples from the Taoist sect and Qiantian Palace fought valiantly, unleashing their signature skills amidst the Iron Cavalry to carve out a bloody path, at last glimpsing the first light of dawn.
For reasons unknown, the Iron Cavalry and the sweeping sandstorm suddenly slowed in their pursuit!
Emperor Qi, who had released his Lifebound Cave Heaven, had intended to transform the Great Yue Kingdom into a battlefield between heaven and man.
Hence, when these Tao Rules fully enveloped the Great Yue Kingdom, they greatly reduced their pace.
“Wu brother!”
Yu Wenzhong’s eyes lit up.
Beyond the sandstorm, he spotted familiar figures awaiting him!
The great senior brother of Martial Sect Wu Yue, along with those Human Race cultivators who had chosen to stop just outside the borders of the Great Yue Kingdom, had constructed a formation beyond the sand.
At this moment, Primordial Energy whirled about, with swords flying in circles above the formation, evidently waiting for the “returnees” amidst the sands…
Pursued by Ruyi Dao, hunted by the Iron Cavalry, and hindered by soulless self-detonating attackers.
Their journey thus far had been most disheveled.
Yu Wenzhong and Shang Yi exchanged glances and let out a long, turbid breath.
Wu Yue saw the figures emerging from the sandstorm and also heaved a sigh of relief.
The desolate mountain where they took refuge was located in the extreme south of the Great Yue Kingdom, which the sandstorm hadn’t engulfed.
Being so out of the way and far from the core battlefield, the Ruyi Dao Rules spread here, but just managed to hold on.
Now it seemed that the advice given by Xie Zhen in that bamboo slip truly showed “profound insight.”
Everyone who took it seriously managed to avoid the murderous spread of the Great Yue Kingdom’s Tao Rules!
They also avoided the calamity of having their Heart Lakes taken and becoming puppets!
“Yu Wen Saint, Shang Fairy, you’ve finally returned.”
Wu Yue looked at the disheveled group and sighed softly, “Had it been a little later, the formation would have been activated.”
“This is the ‘Void-breaking Array’…”
Shang Yi took off her wind-and-sand-eroded hat and boldly showed her true face, instantly recognizing the transmission formation that was being constructed!
“Indeed.”
“After you two left, I began seeking a way to depart,” said Wu Yue gravely.
“It wasn’t long before the Secret Realm began to shake, and the voids in all directions were no longer secure.
Although Martial Sect is not adept at formations, with the cultivators from Yuqing Pavilion and Baihua Valley present, this ‘Void-breaking Array’ was successfully laid out.
Once the formation takes shape, we will soon be able to leave this perilous place.”
Shang Yi and Yu Wenzhong looked at each other.
They said as much.
But their hearts were still tense, far from relaxed.
“There’s more good news.”
Wu Yue took out the Martial Sect Token and smiled, “Perhaps due to the Shattering Void, I received a message from our sect…
The news of the northern hunt being attacked was transmitted to Great Chu immediately, and the sect master took off right away.
He should arrive here soon!”
The second piece of good news spread.
Everyone who had just escaped from the sands took a deep breath of relief.
Especially the disciples of Qiantian Palace and Tai Shang House, who had just escaped from a deadly situation and were unclear about their future direction.
But upon hearing the words “sect master” from Wu Yue’s lips.
Everyone breathed easier.
The sect master of Martial Sect was none other than the most prominent Yang God of the Great Chu dynasty in this sixtieth year cycle, Wu Zhexian!
“Alright!
The formation is set!”
At that moment, an excited voice from a Yuqing Pavilion disciple rang out above the formation.
Dozens of formation-setting cultivators all stepped back.
The Void-breaking Array, with talismans flying about, shrouded the entire desolate mountain.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please step into the formation.”
Wu Yue looked up and said solemnly, “Together we will exert our Primordial Energy and activate the Void-breaking Array to leave this Secret Realm!”
“If so…
we’ll be considered ‘alive’…”
Shang Yi’s gaze revealed fatigue.
Yu Wenzhong too exhaled a pent-up breath.
One by one, they stepped into the formation, with Primordial Energy pouring into the core of the formation.
Grains of broken sand were blown away by the wind.
This long journey of survival was drawing to a close.
The void trembled, the rainbow light of the Void-breaking Array shot toward the sky, and in just an instant, the dome of the sky in the Dayue Secret Realm was torn apart, torrential streams of void carried the talismans, and everyone felt a wave of dizziness.
This was the symbol of Void-breaking transmission…
Just as every cultivator held their breath, preparing to await transport.
In that Shattering Void.
Suddenly, a dazzling, eerie riot of colors burst forth!
A full cascade of Tao Rules plummeted from the sky, filling the void left by the “Ruyi Dao.”
Like colored glaze.
Like a dream.
Captivating the mind and shattering hearts and guts.
