Chapter 889: Fortune and misfortune (1)

''SCRAM!!!''

Little Black's voice boomed like a peal of thunder, as it entered Shun Long's spiritual sea with terrifyingly strong momentum, its killing intent soaring into the skies!

Surprisingly, even the figure of the heavenly roc shook momentarily after hearing the dragon's roar that was filled with uncontrollable fury and killing intent, causing even its actions to pause for a moment.

It seemed that Little Black was no longer holding back right now, as his own spiritual strength entered Shun Long's spiritual sea without any hesitation, heading straight for the figure of the massive lightning roc!

And yet, despite its initial surprise, the 'heavenly roc' completely ignored the black dragon's rage, as well as the overwhelming amount of spiritual strength that was surging towards it, as it set its sights back on Shun Long's soul.

It was obvious that in the heavenly roc's eyes, nothing was more important than the ethereal, translucent wisp of flame that was hovering in front of it.

As for Little Black's overwhelming amount of spiritual strength that was rapidly approaching it from behind... it didn't even seem to enter the heavenly roc's eyes at all!

Opening its enormous mouth, the heavenly roc then bit down on Shun Long's soul without any hesitation, as the sparks of white lightning in its eyes intensified to the extreme.

Even against the soul of an early rank 3 Dao King, it was obvious that the 'heavenly roc' wasn't holding back in the slightest, aiming to exterminate his soul with a single attack!

Even Shun Long couldn't help but narrow his eyes, as the sensation of imminent death gripped his heart for the first time in a long while.

His entire body was already in immense pain after the 'heavenly roc's' initial attack earlier, but compared to his current situation, the physical pain he was feeling was actually nothing in comparison.

Staring at the 'heavenly roc' that was about to bite down on his soul, Shun Long could clearly tell that even if he survived this attack, his soul would still be on the verge of collapse.

At the same time, it was obvious that the heavenly roc had barely expended any of its energy by now, and it had more than enough strength left to destroy his soul many times over.

This was undoubtedly the most perilous situation Shun Long had found himself in since he stepped foot into the world of cultivation!

Even when he had faced that single bolt of red lightning back in the 'King's Palace' during his breakthrough to the Dao King realm, he still hadn't felt as much danger as he was feeling right now!

''I guess this is the only way left...'' After a moment of silence, Shun Long muttered to himself with a resolute voice, before turning his attention to the triangular-shaped stone in his spiritual sea.

Staring at the 'Stone of Time', Shun Long still remembered how the little stone had acted on its own against the red bolt of heavenly tribulation back then, obliterating it in an instant!

However, regardless of how much Shun Long had tried to probe it since then or what methods he tried to use, the 'Stone of Time' didn't react in the slightest.

It simply remained dormant inside his spiritual space, hovering calmly and silently in the space above his soul.

Shaking his head, Shun Long cast all of the useless thoughts aside, and turned his attention back towards the 'heavenly roc' that was now only a few inches away from his soul!

Although he believed that the 'Stone of Time' could deal with this 'heavenly roc' in his spiritual sea, in the end, he wasn't willing to gamble his life on whether the 'Stone of Time' would really 'wake up' or not.

Ultimately, he chose to grit his teeth as he came to a decision!

Then, the blood essence in his heart that was already being burned was suddenly set aflame, as a terrifying power began to awaken inside him!

Although this scene took a while to describe, less than a moment had actually passed since Little Black's furious roar, before Shun Long gathered his thoughts and instantly came to a decision.

In the next moment, the 'heavenly roc's' entire body was covered by a greyish-black light as the enormous bird fiercely chomped down on Shun Long's soul without any hesitation!

Although the massive lightning bird seemed to be lacking any teeth, the greyish-black light around its body gave Shun Long an extreme sense of foreboding, while the sharpness of its beak and claws were more than enough to tear the soul of a middle-stage Dao Emperor apart in an instant!

With just a glance, Shun Long could tell that the grayish-black light around the 'heavenly roc' was actually no weaker than the lightning of the heavenly tribulation itself, and that it clearly originated from the heavenly roc's race 'Dao of Devourment'.

It was obvious that the heavenly roc was really going all-out at this moment, and that its power was truly enough to cause chaos in the spiritual seas of even late-stage Dao Emperors!

At the same time, just as the heavenly roc opened its beak and bit down on Shun Long's soul, Little Black's waves of overwhelming spiritual energy smashed into the roc's body from behind with terrifying force, immediately submerging the massive bird under its bombardment.

Little Black's target was clearly the figure of the golden roc, and yet, Shun Long's entire spiritual space shook all over, as the power of the black dragon swept over the place!

Clearly, Little Black hadn't held back this time either, letting his overbearing spiritual strength on full display!

However, despite Little Black's overwhelming soul power, the moment that the waves of his spiritual strength made contact with the 'heavenly roc', a low hum that sounded like the indistinct chant of immortals suddenly sounded from the depths of the roc's body, before Little Black's spiritual energy was instantly dispersed into nothingness!

Little Black's expression darkened as he stared at the complex diagram that had appeared around the heavenly roc, almost out of thin air, blocking his spiritual attack!

With just a glance, Little Black could tell that this power came directly from the Grand Dao and it was part of the heavenly tribulation itself. No matter what, nobody was allowed to meddle with another person's heavenly tribulation... and this rule applied to both mortals and immortals without exception! Even Little Black inside the 'Stone of Time' wasn't exempt from this rule.

Whether it was in this mortal world or in the vastness of the 'Immortal Dimension', this was a rule that couldn't be broken no matter what!
