Chapter 1153: The Situation Changes in an Instance
When they saw the Cang Heaven Spell Blade and the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner, the Zhujian Grand Sage, the Feiyi Grand Sage, and the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage all frowned.
The power of these two Mahayana level magic treasures was immense. Furthermore, the Cang Heaven Spell Blade had already ascended into the Mahayana level since the Antiquity Age. As he had yet to undergo any major tribulations, he was able to gradually accumulate his powers over the years. Now, few could rival his powers.
The Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner itself did not possess much power, but in it, there were many Immortal Soul Stage cultivators. Among them, the former Hallmaster of the Hall of the Dead, Xu Anda, was the most powerful. Without a magic treasure, he was more than a match for many Undying Demon Soul Third Level demons in their true forms.
Other than these two powerful Mahayana level magic treasures, Wang Lin himself possessed immense strength, much more than when he first ascended into the Immortal Soul Stage. Furthermore, his many attacks were hard to predict and hence, kept the demons on their toes.
However, the person whom they did not predict was Ning Wan'ge. This powerful cultivator, who specialized in dream-type spells and had started to undergo the Cardinal Tribulations, was truly invincible in the Ying Sea. Few could guard against her powers. They even had to be careful for their comrades, for fear that they may be trapped within an illusion.
If they actually fought, the Zhujian Grand Sage realized that the situation was not in their favor. Even if no one from the Celestial Sect of Wonders rendered any assistance to them, their fight against Wang Lin and the rest would not be easy.
Thinking about it, the Zhujian Grand Sage began to waver in his intent. He did not want to fight to the death against Wang Lin, at least not in the Ying Sea.
Wang Lin stared coldly at his opponent and slammed his palms together as he began to use his Supreme Destruction Spell. The gates to the Yama Imperial Pavilion opened and in it, two wheels, one white and one black, spun.
Suddenly, the white wheel disappeared while the black wheel spun even faster. A horrifying black light shot out from it. Strengthened by the Supreme Destruction Spell, it attacked the Zhujian Grand Sage straightaway.
The Zhujian Grand Sage snorted coldly. He prepared another arrow on his bow. Once more, another light arrow shot forth as it struck the black light and blocked Wang Lin's attack.
Who knew that the light above Wang Lin's head then started to flash as a black-and-white door opened.
Half of the door was black as ink. Many elaborate carvings twisted and turned on top of it and it emitted an absurd, impossible aura. However, the other half of the door was white as jade. The carvings on it were simplistic but not coarse. This side felt natural and pure.
This was Wang Lin's Real and Illusory World!
The Real and Illusory World blurred the lines between the real and the illusory. The moment the Zhujian Grand Sage's arrow and the black light from Wang Lin's Yama Imperial Pavilion clashed, it locked the both of them together.
In the next instant, the door to the Real and Illusory World slammed shut. As light flashed, the arrow and the black light went past each other, as if they had never touched in the first place!
The scene where the two of them clashed was like a mirage, a reflection from a bubble. The moment the bubble burst, it ceased to exist as if it had never existed before.
The Zhujian Grand Sage's face turned dark, "Turning reality into illusion?"
Control over the real and illusory depended on the disparity between the powers of the two parties. While the Zhujian Grand Sage did not specialize in this, he must have touched on this portion of cultivation during his many long years of cultivation.
The moment he released his demonic arrow, it was able to shake space and time and fused with many, different sorts of power. It was not easy to simply turn it into an illusion.
Right now, however, this very scene appeared before the Zhujian Grand Sage's eyes!
The Zhujian Grand Sage, who was shocked by Wang Lin's Real and Illusory World, could only block the oncoming black light with his blow.
However, as his bow was struck by this attack, it distorted and was no longer able to preserve its original shape.
The power, destructive aura from the black light shocked the Zhujian Grand Sage too. He could feel the vast power of destruction within, which seemed capable of destroying all living things. The Zhujian Grand Sage snorted coldly as he threw away the bow made by his demonic powers. Then, the muscles in his left arm started to jump.
Like the wings of a bird, two white bones reached out from his left arm and then fixed themselves around his wrist. Then, they extended out in both directions and soon, they resembled two long, bony, white blades. Two powerful destructive auras could be felt from them.
From the two ends of the two white blades, a blood-red line appeared and linked the two sides together. It was like a bowstring tying two ends of a bony, white bow together.
The Zhujian Grand Sage's right arm pulled back on the bowstring and instantly, an arrow formed from the white demonic aura, tinged with a blood-red light, shot out, blocking the black light from Wang Lin.
However, this still caused his action to become slightly slower. On the other side, the Cang Heaven Spell Blade, attacking with his Yuan Heaven Sword, had already turned into a ray of emerald light and was charging towards the Zhujian Grand Sage.
The Zhujian Grand Sage's giant bow, which was placed on his left arm, appeared enormous but under his control, it was extremely flexible too. Instantly, it turned into a ball of white light and soon, it was able to protect him completely, giving the Cang Heaven Spell Blade no chance to attack him.
Wang Lin's face was emotionless as he continued his attack. He attacked the Zhujian Grand Sage together with the Cang Heaven Spell Blade.
The Zhujian Grand Sage suddenly leaped through the void as he tried to create distance.
Wang Lin and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade continued to pursue him. Suddenly, they noticed the Zhujian Grand Sage suddenly turning around. The bone bow on his left arm expanded and his right arm pulled back at a bowstring on the bow as numerous arrows of light shot out.
Faced with the sudden attack from the Zhujian Grand Sage, Wang Lin and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade did not dare to move slowly too. If they were struck by the arrow, the result would be horrific
Wang Lin took in a deep breath as gurgling River Styx Primordial Water turned into the River of Forgetfulness. A huge, black stone bridge appeared on top of the river. It was the Narakade Bridge.
The black wheel in the Yama Imperial Pavilion disappeared too and the white wheel appeared. A white light descended upon the Narakade Bridge, and after it helped Wang Lin avoid the oncoming arrow, he continued his pursuit of the Zhujian Grand Sage without any trace of slowing.
Looking at the situation, the Zhujian Grand Sage frowned. His spine started to twist.
However, right when Wang Lin was taking care of his arrow, his gaze flashed as he felt his own mana becoming uncomfortable.
The Tuo Kong Grand Sage, who was keeping a low-profile all this while, was trying to break free.
Not only did the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage place great emphasis on the ring, the Golden Roc Grand Sage cared a lot about it too. The Tuo Kong Grand Sage would try his best to protect it and he would never compromise before his opponent. However, now that the ring was already taken away by Wang Lin, the Tuo Kong Grand Sage would not waste his effort on such a fruitless endeavor. Right now, as he was heavily injured too, all he could try and do was to escape.
He should already count his lucky stars if he could escape unscathed.
However, as he no longer had the ring, neither Wang Lin nor the Zhujian Grand Sage would devote all their attention to him.
No matter how unwilling he was, the Tuo Kong Grand Sage still gave up the ring with the intention of escaping.
The Tuo Kong Grand Sage thrashed about as he took up the shape of a ray of gold light underneath the Wangchuan River. He sought to break free from the suppression by the River Styx Primordial Water and break out.
Wang Lin looked emotionlessly at the golden light and said nothing. Suddenly, the Pearl of Styx appeared and dropped into the Wangchuan River. The river in the Wangchuan River surged and yet, despite the massive energy from the water, no sound came out.
The golden light at the bottom of the Wangchuan River flashed slower and slower. It was evidently not as active as before.
Here, the Zhujian Grand Sage notched another arrow into his bow. Another white arrow, tinged with red light, shot towards Wang Lin. Compared to before, the red light was more intense here.
Wang Lin had no choice but to stop as he took care of that arrow. However, his heart trembled slightly as he felt that the battle between the others was raging intensely too.
Part of the void suddenly turned red. In the next instant, the entire area started to collapse. The red light flashed non-stop and even without a fire in the distance, one could feel a searing heat. It was like a premonition for a massive wildfire.
A giant bird flew out from it. It had the head of a crane but only one leg. Its entire body was blue and there were red spots on it. Its long beak was white.
When he saw this demon, Wang Lin was slightly shocked. "Bifang?"
This one-legged crane was Bifang. Furthermore, it was the leader of the Bifang Tribe, the Undying Demon Soul Third Level Bifang Grand Sage.
She was a famed general under the Golden Roc Grand Sage. Hence, her sudden appearance here was shocking.
The Zhujian Grand Sage, the Feiyi Grand Sage, and the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage did not stop what they were doing. However, they turned their attention to the Bifang Grand Sage.
The Feiyi Grand Sage was fighting with Xu Anda, the Hallmaster of the Dead. He too stared curiously at the Bifang Grand Sage. Earlier, the Zhujian Grand Sage and the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage was supposed to take care of the Tuo Kong Grand Sage while the Feiyi Grand Sage was supposed to take care of the Bifang Grand Sage. No one knew how she suddenly appeared here.
"Did the Golden Roc Lei Yuan escape from the Charms Empress? Is he coming to rescue the Golden Roc Tuo Kong with him? No, that's impossible. The Golden Roc lost that bone and the Charms Empress could now control him. He only has 10% chance of escaping." The Feiyi Grand Sage stared at the Bifang Grand Sage.
When the Feiyi Grand Sage appeared, a drought would follow. When the Bifang Grand Sage appeared, wildfires would appear. The snake and the crane had fought many times. When the Feiyi Grand Sage looked at the Bifang Grand Sage's expressionless face, his heart missed a beat. "If she is not with the Golden Roc Grand Sage, this means..."
As he thought about it, the Bifang Grand Sage looked at her surroundings, said nothing. Suddenly, she opened her mouth and from her mouth, rays after rays of light flew out and illuminated the world.
Mid-air, the light suddenly expanded and turned into 12 streams of light, circling around everyone.
Then, the 12 streams of light turned into 12 pillars of light. Standing firmly between the heaven and earth, the Ying Sea appeared to have been sealed off into an independent world by itself.
Shadows appeared in the Ying Sea. There were dragons, phoenix, Qilin, Xuanwu, True Hou, the Heavenly Demon Ape, the Extreme Spiritual Divine Monkey and other powerful demons. each of them occupied a single pillar and together, they surrounded all within.
When the Zhujian Grand Sage saw this, he smiled. The Feiyi Grand Sage looked at the Bifang Grand Sage and said, "If even you have submitted to the Charms Empress, this means..."
The Bifang Grand Sage opened her mouth and said slowly, "The Golden Roc Grand Sage has been killed by the Charms Empress."
