Chapter 1158: You Can't Have It

Under the effects of the Mythical Time-Space Revolving Formation, everybody was brought out of the Ying Sea and into the endless void space outside the Greater World.

Even though the Tuo Kong Grand Sage was severely injured, securing himself inside the turbulence of the void was still achievable.

He unleashed his natural speed in an attempt to break through the giant light pillar. The Bifang Grand Sage, who was originally engaged in battle with him, didn't pursue and gave him a chance to escape instead.

Neither the Zhujian Grand Sage, the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage nor the Feiyi Grand Sage had any intention to stop him as well.

Even though this would leave some future trouble, the current focus and priority of the Zhujian Grand Sage and the Bifang Grand Sage and the others was undoubtedly Wang Lin.

The Tuo Kong Grand Sage no longer had the ring and the ring was now in Wang Lin's hands, so naturally the group of powerful demons would turn their attention towards Wang Lin.

Lifted from the obstruction of the Tuo Kong Grand Sage, the Bifang Grand Sage's hands were freed. This increased their overall strength, heaping more and more pressure on Wang Lin and the others.

Wang Lin and company found themselves in an increasingly precarious situation.

No communication was required as the Bifang Grand Sage blocked a strike from the Cang Heaven Spell Blade for the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage, and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade ended up battling the Bifang Grand Sage.

The Rotary Turtle Grand Sage didn't immediately lend a hand to the Zhujian Grand Sage or the Feiyi Grand Sage. Instead, he extended the barriers in the airs as layer after layer of energy was infused into the inner regions of the Mythical Time-Space Revolving Formation. A dome-like structure was formed, with everybody trapped in the middle.

This was intended to cut off Wang Lin's escape route. The Tuo Kong Grand Sage was allowed to leave, but Wang Lin wasn't - at least not before he gave up the ring.

It wasn't too difficult for Wang Lin and company to break through the barriers, but they were tied down by the continuous onslaught from the Zhujian Grand Sage and the other powerful demons and it was thus impossible for them to divide their attention to open a path out of the dome.

The Zhujian Grand Sage's demonic powers were recovering by the second, and his attacks were getting stronger as well. Strikes after strikes of Turbid Wave Demonic Arrow were fired toward Wang Lin as his body flashed through space in an attempt to close the distance between them.

In the previous battle, it wasn't just Wang Lin's arm that was torn apart by the Turbid Wave Demonic Arrow. Both the Ancient and Modern World Spell and the Narakade Bridge Spell were damaged in their foundations and couldn't be unleashed for a short period of time - all these made his efforts to dodge the Turbid Wave Demonic Arrows even harder.

If not for the seemingly calm but overbearing River Styx Primordial Water spiraling around in the sky around him, he would probably have been put down by yet another Turbid Wave Demonic Arrow by now.

Without the Narakade Bridge, his speed greatly declined, and this allowed the Zhujian Grand Sage to come closer and closer.

Wang Lin's eyes switched between the Zhujian Grand Sage and the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage, who was still extending the Space Ramparts around them. His expression was calm as his eyes started to sparkle.

The Mythical Time-Space Revolving Formation cut off his connection with Lin Feng, but Lin Feng was faintly aware of this fact.

"This feeling - there appears to be a powerful force shaking up the void space above the Ying Sea. I wonder who that may be?" Lin Feng thought to himself as he raised his head towards the far end of the horizon. "The Zhujian Grand Sage and the Sirius Grand Sage aren't this powerful. Could it be him?"

Lin Feng was sitting on top of Mount Yujing at this moment, above the Lingyuan Mountains in the Barren Expanses.

The ancestral ground of the Ancient Ape Demons was right below him as demonic energies flared and entire troupes of ape demons flailed and struggled as they lunged repeatedly toward Mount Yujing.

At this point, something else appeared in the void above Mount Yujing.

Twelve giant pillars of light formed a circle, and seemed to separate the entire region away from the world as they probed out of the heavens above and enveloped Mount Yujing.

The Crucible of the Divine Lands, which was anchoring down the Two Elements of Creation Formation, shifted and repositioned itself above Mount Yujing to block the twelve pillars of light to prevent them from touching the mountain.

Lin Feng watched on with a plain look and muttered, "The Twelve Sages Heavenly Revolving Formation?"

This was no longer a projection - this was the real deal. A vast surge of energy rippled from within as the light shadows of twelve powerful demon tribes glimmered in their respective light pillars.

The skies above separated and revealed the darkness of void space. Inside this void space, a single individual looked down upon Lin Feng and Mount Yujing from the vantage point.

This figure appeared to emanate chaotic energies all over. It appeared human, but it was impossible to distinguish the physical characteristics - it was the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage.

This was no longer her mana projection as well; the original body of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was present. She directed the Twelve Sages Heavenly Revolving Formation and arrived before Lin Feng.

She clapped her hands lightly as a single dark cloud shimmered above her head. It was about six-hundred square meters, but emanated seemingly boundless energy.

The dark cloud flickered as rays of light surged around inside. The scene was similar to that of lightning strikes thundering between the thunderclouds in a rainstorm, except it was soundless and completely silent. Still, it was far more horrifying than lightning and thunderclouds and instilled a haze of terror over all others.

These rays of light burst out of the dark cloud and were infused into the twelve pillars of light surrounding Mount Yujing, and these pillars of light immediately grew even more blindingly brilliant.

Light patterns drifted into the center of the light pillars and started condensing together to form a sparkling patch of light that resembled radiant sea of clouds. These light patterns charged the skies as uncountable rays of light rolled around between the heavens.

Four of the twelve pillars of light grew ever brighter and even the light pillar itself became thicker.

The light shadows of demon tribes shimmering in the middle of these four light pillars represented the Immemorial Celestial Dragons, the Heavenly Demon Apes, the ancient Xuanwu and the Kun Peng!

A golden dragon was obscured behind auspicious clouds that gleamed with draconic supremacy. The legendary dragon was barely visible, but the vast essence of its power could be felt, as if a single swipe of its claw and a single flail of its tail could shatter heaven and earth.

A black ape that resembled a tiny mountain was staring ahead with a pair of blood-red eyes. It released an ear-splitting howl into the air, as if its physical strength could annihilate everything around it.

A giant turtle was just prone in the air and was dense and weighty like the earth beneath. It was colossal, and neither the Rotary Turtles, the Zang Turtles nor the Xuanming demons could compare. It was only a light shadow inside the pillar, and if its size wasn't minimized and its true form was released from the pillar of light, its enormity could no longer be compared to an island or to a mountain - it was as large as a mainland hovering between Heaven and Earth.

This was the pure-blood Xuanwu, which were long extinct. However, their essences were absorbed and assimilated by the demonic formation, and this was the reason for its existence inside the Twelve Sages Heavenly Revolving Formation.

Inside the last pillar of light was a Kun Peng, which was just drifting within the barren universe.

It could take the form of a fish. The fish's entire body was pitch black, and its size was so huge that the exact length of its body was incalculable.

It could also take the form of a bird. The bird had green feathers and a golden beak with white fur on the top of its head. When fully extended, its wings were at least several thousand kilometers long.

At this point, the Kun Peng shuddered and no longer phased between the two forms and fixed itself as a fish. The density of its physical strength and blood essence expanded and rivaled the aura from the other three powerful demons.

Besides the Heaven-Carrying Ants and the Immemorial Divine Elephants, and demon races with the strongest physical strength were congregated here.

The deep and hoarse voice of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage resonated between the heavens. Her voice was strange, and it was clearly not human.

"The Earth-Shattering Revolving Formation."

The other eight pillars of light gradually dissipated and the previous four light pillars remained. They radiated as they came together and fused into a single giant pillar of light that cruised down towards the Two Elements of Creation Formation and Mount Yujing.

Above the Lingyuan Mountains, the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage and the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage watched on with plain expressions. Their eyes were fixated upon the Heavenly Demon Ape and the Extreme Spiritual Divine Monkey inside the light pillars. They were not upset about this, yet they didn't seem all too happy about the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage coming to their aid.

However, while the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was channeling her demonic formation, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage didn't hold back as they continued to direct the strength of Mount Lingyuan to hold Lin Feng down in an effort to buy time for the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage to set up her magic formation fully.

When the Earth-Shattering Revolving Formation started to take effect, the brutal strength that came out appeared like it could break the entire Greater World with sheer force and both the Crucible of the Divine Lands and the Two Elements of Creation Formation trembled under the pressure.

Such was the scene in the void. A single pillar of light was pulverizing a giant magic formation that formed an independent world. The borders of this tiny world were being pressed down, and the world itself was pushed lower and lower, and descended gradually towards Mount Yujing below.

"It must have taken great effort to find the remains of the pure-blooded Xuanwu." Lin Feng remained calm as he placed his hands together. He pointed his index finger and the Two Elements of Creation Formation's Heaven and Earth Change started working in reverse. The extreme density of the Crucible of the Divine Lands that anchored down everything was redirected upwards into a force that was unwavering and impregnable. This force resembled the impenetrable heavens as it forcefully withstood the pressure of the light pillar from above it.

The point of contact seemed to reverse the positions of heaven and earth - Earth was above, and the heavens were beneath it - and the space all around were as distorted as they could be.

The dark cloud above the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage in the demonic formation started to dissipate and bore down towards Mount Yujing as well. The Two Elements of Creation Formation was suppressed by the Earth-Shattering Revolving Formation and there was no way it could intercept the incoming missile. It seemed as if nothing could be done as the dark cloud drifted down towards Mount Yujing with unstoppable force.

Lin Feng's eyes grew slightly cold. "Heavenly Charms Grand Sage - you really with to have a showdown with me today?" Lin Feng closed his middle finger and his index finger in the shape of a sword and channeled the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation as he slashed towards the dark cloud.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage lowered her voice and replied, "The Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is all-powerful. Now is not that time for us to fight to the death - however, the ring of the Golden Roc Grand Sage is worth my efforts to contest you for it."

As she spoke, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage didn't strengthen her downward pressure but the upward force from Mount Lingyuan against Mount Yujing from below became stronger and caused Mount Yujing to destabilize a little. Both the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage were fearful of Lin Feng's Heaven-Destroying Sword, and even though they didn't give their all, they formed some sort of pincer-like assault with the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and trapped Lin Feng in between.

A strange scene appeared in the Barren Expanses. The Lingyuan Mountains were on the surface on the ground, and a giant pillar of light extended from the heavens right through the void. Both entities were on the opposite ends of Mount Yujing as they exerted pressure from both sides.

Lin Feng sat on the mountain as his expression grew solemn. Still, his eyes were as calm as ever when he suddenly directed a question towards the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage that seemed totally unrelated to what was happening. "According to my knowledge, the Sirius Grand Sage is still in the Barren Expanses and he didn't venture into the Ying Sea."

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage didn't respond, but her eyes started to sparkle.

Lin Feng continued quietly, "You murdered the Golden Roc Grand Sage, and the Peacock Grand Sage is nowhere to be found. I have eliminated the Qiongqi Grand Sage long ago, and the Tuo Kong Grand Sage won't be so easily tamed. Even if you absorbed the influence of the Golden Roc Grand Sage, your strength inside the Ying Sea should include the Zhujian, Rotary Turtle, Feiyi and the Bifang Grand Sage, eh?"

He shot a look at the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. "If there are no other powerful individuals under your command, then you will never get the ring."

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage's eyes closed into slits. Lin Feng continued plainly, "The reason is because the item is now in Wang Lin's hands."
