Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 1589 - 856: The Unpredictability of the Human Heart (Part 3)

Tong Xin, without hesitation, soared into the sky and in an instant flew out of the valley.

At that moment, another person appeared out of thin air in the center of the valley, and this time it was Zhao Sheng who had been following them.

With a thundering boom, the valley shook violently. One by one, ebony array pillars erupted with dazzling light, and from the valley floor, countless thick bolts of lightning surged up as if electrified.

Numerous bolts of lightning struck Zhao Sheng simultaneously, instantly engulfing him.

At the same moment, the entire valley was enveloped by a triple-layered enchantment barrier. The barrier was dazzlingly bright, and various law fluctuations spread throughout the valley, temporarily altering the laws of space and gravity in this place.

"Heavenly Venerable and Earthly Elder, Yin God and Yang Evil, assist me in vanquishing demons and suppressing evil, urgently by divine order!"

The cultivators all shouted the incantation in unison, bending their sword fingers and pointing remotely at the figure swallowed by the electric light.

In a flash, countless colorful flowing lights descended from the sky, transforming instantly into layers of light webs, which rapidly contracted from all directions toward the valley floor.

Tong Xin landed above the barrier, looking down at the valley below with a detached expression, already plotting in his mind how to pry open the mouth of the person below to find out his secret of freely traversing all realms.

Boom!

However, the next second, a roar abruptly shattered his daydream.

Tong Xin’s face changed slightly, and he quickly looked toward the valley floor, only to be horrified to see the sea of lightning suddenly explode. A young man, naked from the waist up and incomparably handsome, slowly rose, his body rapidly "ballooning" in size.

One zhang,

Three zhang,

Nine zhang,

...

In the blink of an eye, an imposing figure of forty-nine zhang high, surrounded by radiant light, appeared in the center of the valley. His body seemed to be cast in gold, exuding an unmatched aura of power, making anyone who saw him tremble in fear.

"Not good, everyone, attack with full force! Don’t let it break free!" Tong Xin’s face drastically changed as he urgently transmitted a message to his fellow disciples.

The cultivators, looking pale, hastily activated the Demon Path Yuan Unsealing Technique, pouring all their mana, divine thought, and even primordial qi into the array pillars beneath their feet.

The layers of colorful light webs suddenly expanded dozens of times, quickly converging toward the center.

Crack, crack.

The ground shook, the void trembled, and the mirror-like surface cracked inch by inch, with the air surging like "raging waves" over water.

More terrifyingly, as Zhao Sheng walked forward step by step, the void slightly crumbled along his path, countless time-space rifts opening and closing in succession, tearing the layers of light webs into shreds.

Tong Xin, terrified, could no longer care about expending his Life Span. He immediately pressed a finger to the vertical mark on his forehead.

With a ripping sound, the vertical mark cracked open, and a green, ghostly eye emerged.

The eye blinked, and a thick green beam shot out from the pupil, instantly piercing through the void and landing on Zhao Sheng’s forehead.

Boom, the beam dispersed on impact, leaving only a faint bruise on Zhao Sheng’s forehead, which vanished in an instant.

"Not good, is he... Late-stage returning to emptiness?... No, no, his power is still rising... Run!"

Seeing the Heavenly Demon Soul Merging Divine Light having no effect, Tong Xin was terrified beyond measure, instinctively sending a warning to his fellow disciples.

At this moment, the cultivators were engrossed in their struggles and could not hear his cries.

Zhao Sheng slowly walked to the edge of the valley, and with a gentle wave of his right hand, dozens of ebony array pillars broke in unison, and over half the valley collapsed with a rumble.

Dozens of divinity transformation elders from the Heavenly Demon Sect were so scared they turned and fled, only to be caught by an immense suction force that pulled them back, one by one, into a flawless, giant hand akin to white jade and sheep’s fat.

Zhao Sheng gently squeezed, and the cultivators instantaneously turned into a pile of flesh.
