Chapter 1017: Blown Into Smithereens!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Lin Feng scrutinized the light projection of Emperor Xia and studied his injury.
Under this circumstance, unlike when he was still alive, he wasn't too particular about masking or covering anything up and there was a lot of information to be obtained.
The new information was a little surprising from Lin Feng's perspective.
Lin Feng watched on as Emperor Xia's eyes sparkled and he straightened his back. The infirmity and feebleness from before vanished entirely and he regained the impenetrable aura of a supreme emperor as he grabbed the Crucible of the Divine Lands and flew towards the battleground in the distance.
Over there, the powerful Buddhist cultivator had just contained the Bastille Black Dragon inside his Nirvana World Palm.
The light projections ended there, as what happened afterwards had already been reflected by the series of images projected before.
Lin Feng blinked a few times as he raised his eyes toward the Zheng Yi Holy Man and noticed that the latter was also looking at him.
Mystical lights continued to flicker around the Zheng Yi Holy Man's body, but Lin Feng completely disregarded them and continued using the Avatar of Ares to channel his mana into the Crucible of the Divine Lands. On the inside, within the core of the Crucible of the Divine Lands, Zhu Yi was also putting in effort to coordinate with Lin Feng on the outside.
The Crucible of the Divine Lands buzzed as the trembling became increasingly vigorous. That intense willpower became even more discernible, and the sense of rejection against the Zheng Yi Holy Man grew stronger as it felt the mystical light around his body.
The top of the giant crucible erupted with dense light that was blinding to the eye, yet appeared incredibly thick and weighty.
Mountains and rivers, snow plains and vast deserts amongst other geographical scenes flashed by and glimmered within the rays of light. The boundlessness of the world was embodied, and it felt as if the entire Divine Lands blasted forward.
This light clashed with the mystical light rays circling the Zheng Yi Holy Man's body. The Zheng Yi Holy Man reached out to stop the Crucible of the Divine Lands while the Great Void Holy Pavilion pressurized the Crucible from the top.
However, Lin Feng was not about to sit back and watch as the Avatar of Ares directed the Two Elements of Creation Formation and channeled the change of the Polar Reversal as it wrapped around the Great Void Holy Pavilion once again.
The Thunder Dragon Avatar channeled the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell once more as the spell covered the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Great Void Holy Pavilion.
The power of heaven and earth followed the movements of this mystical world as streaks of mana cut down toward the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Great Void Holy Pavilion.
The Great Void Holy Pavilion started to tremble.
"Eh?" The Zheng Yi Holy Man shook his head lightly. The combination of the Formation-Bursting Drum and the Void Yin-Yang bell was only a temporary endeavor, and once they were dissolved back into their original forms they couldn't be pieced together immediately after.
When the Great Void Holy Pavilion wasn't engaged in battle, the Zheng Yi Holy Man used his immortal soul to nurture the magic item and ensured that the Great Void Holy Pavilion could continue to exist. However, using it repeatedly to battle beyond the stipulated shelf life or if the magic item was damaged, it would separate back into its components.
Unless it was severely damaged, the shelf life of the Great Void Holy Pavilion was pretty much fixed and this duration wouldn't be affected by pressure from the battle. Yet, everything had an exception and the Great Void Holy Pavilion encountered such an exception today - in the long years of its existence, and never before seen in the Grand Celestial World until five thousand years ago when Lin Feng first invented the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell.
The continuous resistance against the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell caused the Great Void Holy Pavilion to destabilize and its lifespan was drastically shortened - it felt like it was about to fall apart at any moment.
The Zheng Yi Holy Man's eyebrows tied into a knot. However, he refused to let go of the Crucible of the Divine Lands. Between the flashes of the mystical light, Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar and the Crucible of the Divine Lands shuddered before the vast layers of light from the Crucible of the Divine Lands turned around and bore down on the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell.
Even Lin Feng's Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell had that moment of unbalance.
"The Chang Heaven Great Void Celestial Light!" Lin Feng's eyes sparkled as the Thunder Dragon roared into the sky and stretched out his right claw ferociously and slashed down toward the Zheng Yi Holy Man.
The claw of the thunder dragon initially flickered with four-colored lightning, but the silver-white dragon claw abruptly turned golden with the four-colored lightning streaks still circling it as it slashed down upon the layers of light surrounding the Zheng Yi Holy Man. The Zheng Yi Holy Man's face remained unchanged as the flickering of lights around him was unpredictable and inexplicable, and its sophistication was at a highest possible level.
The mystical light flashed once and the Thunder Dragon Avatar's claw ended up slashing toward the Crucible of the Divine Lands!
There was a revelation in Lin Feng's mind. He was slightly taken aback and harbored his own doubts but reconciled with his suspicions in the end as he chuckled, "So this is the Chang Heaven Great Void Celestial Light..."
On top of Mount Yujing, Lin Feng's original body laughed faintly as well and muttered, "That's a fantastic coincidence. The mantras of the world are indeed baffling and mystical."
The Thunder Dragon Avatar howled as his entire body dissipated into light shadows, and subsequently phased to and from the physical dragon form and the light shadows.
At this point, the stars in the Ancient Desolate Galaxy sparkled incessantly as the countless stars in the sky appeared to be triggered by an unknown power. The stars that had been existing in the universe for all of eternity started to change.
It wasn't just the stars in the Starry Sea - it felt as if the stars above the entire Greater World began to quiver.
The trails of the eternal stars in the sky and the incredible power of their movement became unstable as something was about to happen.
Every change was miniscule and discreet, but the foundations were comparatively substantial and every tiny change led to a drastic and world-changing transformation.
The Zheng Yi Holy Man could naturally feel this transformation. He could feel that the immense power projected from this massive transformation was charged onto Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar.
The giant form of the Thunder Dragon twisted in the sky, and the Zheng Yi Holy Man suddenly realized that the golden claw that was redirected toward the Crucible of the Divine Lands was slashing at him and the Great Void Holy Pavilion once more.
The Crucible of the Divine Lands, which was supposed to be slamming against the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World, abruptly switched directions and crashed toward the Great Void Holy Pavilion instead. The Two Elements of Creation Formation, which was holding off against the Great Void Holy Pavilion, changed targets as well and came straight for the Zheng Yi Holy Man.
The Two Elements of Creation Formation expanded explosively and directed the changes of the Polar Reversal and followed the dragon claw as it slashed down toward the Zheng Yi Holy Man.
The Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell contracted in the blink of an eye and instantly severed the connection between the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Great Void Holy Pavilion, while the Crucible of the Divine Lands clashed head-on with the Great Void Holy Pavilion!
The Crucible of the Divine Lands appeared to have been triggered by the use of the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light by the Zheng Yi Holy Man, and the Crucible was already subtly antagonistic toward the Zheng Yi Holy Man from the start. Its powers grew exponentially as the layers of light that reflected the image of the world materialized on the body of the Crucible.
A giant crucible appeared to transform into the entire Divine Lands as it crashed heavily onto the body of the Great Void Holy Pavilion!
In normal times, the Great Void Holy Pavilion would have been able to take this hit. However, it had already resisted two consecutive blows from the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell and was destabilized as result. Faced with the sharp pressure from the Crucible of the Divine Lands in its weakened state, the Great Void Holy Pavilion was blown into smithereens!
Layers and layers of white cloud energy permeated the entire area and blanketed the heavens. Rays of golden light peeked through the disorganized white clouds as they shot out in all directions; it resembled a shower of shooting stars in the Starry Sea.
The golden lights condensed as the clouds folded and undulated - the Formation Bursting Drum and the Void Yin-Yang Bell reappeared in the sky as the Drum Fairy and the Yin-Yang Elder shimmered in the void as the two of them stared straight at the Crucible of the Divine Lands.
The Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light radiated around the Zheng Yi Holy Man's body. Under the effects of these lights, Lin Feng's Two Elements of Creation Formation was redirected toward the Thunder Dragon Avatar while the dragon claw from the Thunder Dragon slashed toward the Crucible of the Divine Lands yet again.
Lin Feng grinned and thought to himself, "Even though the effects on strength can be countered, it can't be sustained like the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light, and it can't continue to take effect."
"More work is required to perfect this new spell."
While thoughts spun around in his head, the Thunder Dragon Avatar surged with immense power again while the mystical light around the Zheng Yi Holy Man grew dim for a second.
"Eh?" The Zheng Yi Holy Man's pupils contracted a little as he continued to channel the Cheng Heaven Great Void Divine Light. Lin Feng's Two Elements of Creation Formation had a new target, and formidable power bore down from the top of the Zheng Yi Holy Man's head with a force that resembled an entire independent world.
The Zheng Yi Holy Man raised his hands and white clouds concentrated in the middle of his palms and transformed into a towering peak that was as wide as the heavens and as dense the earth. This conjured mountain felt like an entire world by itself!
The moment this looming mountain took its form, it clashed violently with the Two Elements of Creation Formation. The Two Elements of Creation Formation was forced backwards, but a crack appeared at the top of the mountain peak and started to crumble.
Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar's tail whipped up streaks of Four Appearances Two Elements Divine Thunder, and a single swing seemed like it had the force to knock over the entire world and instantly smashed the mountain into pieces.
Its right claw slashed forward with lightning speed and cut on the right shoulder of the Zheng Yi Holy Man and left a bloody five-fingered scar.
The essence of Dao resembled golden-colored blood as it oozed out from the wound and the Zheng Yi Holy Man retreated immediately. His left hand tapped on the surface of the Formation Bursting Drum and released a golden light wave that shook the entire Two Elements of Creation Formation.
In the next moment, the Zheng Yi Holy Man flicked a finger and a single streak of white cloud energy landed upon the Void Yin-Yang Bell. The bell swept him along with the two magic items, and phased through space to place a considerable distance between the Thunder Dragon Avatar and the Crucible of the Divine Lands and himself.
The Thunder Dragon Avatar didn't pursue his retreat and instead remained on the spot to pacify its flaring demonic energy. The Two Elements of Creation Formation returned to the top of the Avatar of Ares' head and both avatars returned to the side of the Crucible of the Divine Lands.
Lin Feng placed his hands upon the Crucible as the purple energy continued to roll inside and completely dispelled the remaining white energy.
Beside them, Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade was still locking horns with the Xuan Lin Holy Man. The typically plain eyes of the Xuan Lin Holy Man betrayed a tinge of astonishment at this point.
"What exactly happened with the sudden explosion of energy from the dragon avatar?" The Xuan Lin Holy Man took a deep breath."Even though it's only a temporary thing, it seems to counter the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light on a fundamental level!'
The Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light was the final spell of the Great Void Nine Heavenly Spells, and was extremely sophisticated and intricate. Before Lin Feng's Celestial Sect Teleportation Spell and before the first Extreme Spiritual Divine Monkey of the current generation reached the stage of tribulations, the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light was the only spell in the entire Grand Celestial World that could dodge an instance of the Power-Destroying Catastrophe.
Besides that, the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light had other uses, and had always been considered to be one of most powerful spells in the entire Divine Lands.
When unleashed by someone like the Zheng Yi Holy Man, even immensely powerful forces like the Crucible of the Divine Lands and the Two Elements of Creation temporarily lost control and were manipulated by the mystical light.
However, this spell seemed like it had been broken by its adversary.
What sent shivers down the spines of both the Xuan Lin Holy Man and the Zheng Yi Holy Man was that the method Lin Feng used to counter the power of the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light wasn't brute force, but another kind of spell that had a similar concept of power as the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light yet was drastically different at the same time.
"What can it be..." Even elders like the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Xuan Lin Holy Man from the Great Void Sect watched Lin Feng with eyes that revealed a sense of disbelief, and Lin Feng became even more cryptic and unfathomable.
