I’m Really Not A Supreme Master! - Chapter 156: Life Alienation? !
In the vast expanse of the Void Sea Domain, where cultivators swarmed like tides and warships crisscrossed the sky just moments before.
But now, the hundreds of thousands of allied forces from the Diming Realm had suddenly vanished.
Not a single one remained.
Whether they were Profound Immortals or Heavenly Immortals.
Or even Perfect Level Golden Immortals.
Even the sudden emergence of the hidden hands behind the curtain, the Nine Great Taiyi Golden Immortals, disappeared in an instant.
The entire Void Sea Domain now seemed so vast, so empty.
Only the armies of the Heavenly Realm remained.
At this moment, everyone from the Heavenly Realm was stunned, shocked.
They all looked on, agape and speechless, at the purple-dressed young girl above!
She moved gracefully, ethereal as a fairy, her purple gown billowing and lively in the air.
With a pen in one hand, and a painting in the other.
The pen was a Phoenix Feather Pen, emanating terrifying flames of energy; a mere swish synced with some ancient Dao.
The painting depicted the Terrifying Daoist Painting, where the rules of reality and illusion intertwined, with true and false spaces overlapping; within a single piece of Xuan paper, the Nine Great Taiyi Golden Immortals, hundreds of Golden Immortals, and the hundreds of thousands from the Diming Realm’s allied forces were vividly depicted.
“Heavens, what just happened? I feel like my soul is trembling, as if it touched upon some secret!”
“Too terrifying, that painting… that painting… it’s like an endless black hole!”
“Could it be, could it be that the hundreds of thousands of the army, and the Nine Taiyi Golden Immortals, were all engulfed by that painting…”
The crowd spoke up, their eyes filled with disbelief.
This scene had surpassed their understanding!
“Too terrifying, that brush, that painting… truly worthy of being Senior Li’s disciple!”
Saint Teacher Kongming spoke tremulously, unable to hold back his admiration!
“Brother Dugu was right, Senior Li’s disciples are all destined to defy the heavens. Before, Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing startled the Heavenly Realm; now, Ziling Maiden has wiped out a million enemies with a single painting…” Saint Lord Lingchao was full of emotion!
“Is this the Supreme Art of Painting? When the painting is complete, anything depicted in it gets absorbed by the painting… Eerie and mysterious… Senior Li, too terrifying.”
Yuanyang Holy Lord muttered in shock!
Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit, too, were extremely shocked at this moment.
“I never expected Maiden Ziling to be so formidable…”
Fire Spirit spoke up.
Since the beginning, she knew this grand battle was nothing to fear, for if Senior Li had sent his disciples, then Ziling must be their trump card, and with her move, she believed everything would turn around.
But she hadn’t expected it to be such a total, such a direct turnaround.
This method of annihilating the enemy was too terrifying, too spine-chilling.
“I always knew, as long as Senior Li is here, no one can invade the Heavenly Realm!”
Mu Qianning was excited to no end, her cheeks flushed as she said, “I’m so envious of Sister Ziling, to be able to learn such a powerful Dao…”
Even Ziling herself, now holding the scroll in her hand, was still somewhat dazed.
“Am I, am I that powerful??”
She felt somewhat unsure within her heart.
Could this scroll… really have absorbed tens of thousands from the army?
Even the Nine Taiyi Golden Immortals?
“All I did was draw the battlefield in the way Teacher told me to, as if drawing a sunset, and I never expected it to have such a miraculous effect… and actually, painting the battlefield felt even easier than painting a sunset!”
“So it turns out… I’ve become this strong?”
She felt a surge of excitement!
Normally, learning by Li Fan’s side, looking up at the high mountains, she always felt inadequate.
Like a droplet in the face of a vast river!
Now, she realized that through continuous learning, this droplet had long accumulated the strength of a great river, which just seemed insignificant in comparison to the Teacher’s boundless ocean…
She put away the scroll and brush and immediately descended to join Fire Spirit and the others on their warship.
“Thank you, Maiden Ziling!”
The crowd voiced their gratitude!
If not for Ziling, the Heavenly Realm, despite having established the Hall of Celestial Generals, would have lost.
The gap in strength was too great.
Ziling said, “No need for thanks, I was simply carrying out orders. Sister Ling’er, Sister Qianning, let’s go report back to Teacher—”
Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning nodded immediately, and ordered the retreat at once.
Yue Poshan and others then led the Heavenly Realm’s army back, while Fire Spirit, Mu Qianning, and the rest followed Ziling directly towards the Southern Small Mountain Village!
At this moment.
In the Diming Realm.
“What’s going on? Why have we suddenly lost contact with the front lines?”
In the Xuanming Dynasty, many senior experts left in charge of the allied forces spoke apprehensively!
“Our Jingguang Sect has also lost contact with the front lines. Looking through the Transmission Crystal… it seems like they have disappeared?!”
Several elders from the Jingguang Sect immediately stood up in shock.
“No, how come nobody from our Chen Imperial Dynasty can be reached?”
An imperial uncle of the Chen Imperial Dynasty voiced his anxiety!
Suddenly, all the major powers realized the same thing.
Just at that instant, their connection with the front lines… was directly severed! “What on earth happened at the front line? Even if the situation was unfavorable, we shouldn’t have lost all contact, should we?!”
A Golden Immortal left behind spoke out, a look of astonishment and suspicion in their eyes!
“Unless, unless at the very same moment, hundreds of thousands of allied forces… all became immobile, or even… all at the same time…”
Another Golden Immortal muttered under their breath, yet the last two words, he simply dared not speak out loud!
“This is impossible, dispatch someone to investigate immediately! Immediately!”
Even the forces of the Xuanming Dynasty were unable to sit tight anymore, because they discovered that the soul lamp of Xuanning Emperor Zhao Chenxing had fallen into a bizarre state!
It hadn’t gone out, but the flame… had turned into a strange blue color!
At this moment, within a hidden space inside the Xuanming Imperial Palace. Senluo Branch Hall.
“What’s happening?!”
The two Taiyi Golden Immortals left in charge were similarly staring dumbfounded at the nine soul lamps before them!
Above the nine soul lamps, the flames had, in an instant, turned into a sinister blue color…
“No, no… how is this possible? Does this mean that the hall masters… their lives are being metamorphosed?”
One of them spoke, thinking of a certain terrifying possibility, his face filled with horror!
Life metamorphosis!
This phenomenon, even within the Immortal Domain, was something that existed only in forbidden legends.
It was said that in the Immortal Domain, there were some who ventured into the forbidden zones, but after entering, their lives were metamorphosed, turning them into slaves of the forbidden zone, living in a different manner.
Although they were undying, they… were no longer their former selves!
The other Taiyi Golden Immortal also had his pupils shrink, saying:
“No, life metamorphosis… unless they were absorbed by the legendary forbidden zone, becoming Forbidden Zone Slaves… Quick, report to Sen Ming Immortal General immediately!”
This kind of matter was simply not something that their mere branch hall could handle.
It had to be reported to the sect, indeed, even an Immortal General… might not be able to handle it!
In the Diming Realm, panic swiftly took hold, because more and more people found that the souls of those who had gone to participate in the battle… had all turned into a sinister blue color!
“That new major world… is simply a devil’s den!”
“It’s over, we’re completely done for…”
“We’ve sent hundreds of thousands of our most elite forces… all to their graves!”
People were in a state of panic, numerous powers were spitting blood in anger!
This time… the overall strength of the Diming Realm might setback by thousands of years!
At the same time, many ancient powers began attempting to summon those ancestors of theirs who had entered the Immortal Domain.
“Ancestral Spirit, the Diming Realm may have encountered an incident of life metamorphosis, the entire Lower World is nearly finished, please respond, Ancestral Spirit!”
In the Chen Imperial Dynasty, a middle-aged man lit a stick of colored glaze incense, making contact with the Immortal Domain!
“Ancestor, the sect has encountered a disaster, there may be a forbidden object in the Lower World, please take action, Ancestor!”
At the Jingguang Sect, the remaining group of elders sacrificed their essence blood to activate a certain communicative item.
And at this moment.
Zi Ling and the others finally returned to the small mountain village.
“Master, we’re back—”
Zi Ling pushed open the door, bouncing in cheerfully, obviously very happy.
Seeing her return, many disciples all looked over.
“Sister returned so soon? Did the boundary war end that quickly?”
Dugu Yuqing was somewhat surprised!
“Zi Ling and Miss Qianning and the others look well, it seems we won.”
Nan Feng also smiled faintly, she had been somewhat worried before, after all, Zi Ling had hardly experienced actual combat.
Li Fan also smiled and asked:
“It’s good you’re back, but how did it end?”
Zi Ling immediately smiled and took out a painting she had made.
The many disciples also gathered around, and when they saw the contents of the painting, they were all somewhat surprised!
“Such a vast battlefield, is this what the Void Sea Domain looks like? It truly captures the imagination!”
“Zi Ling’s artistry is truly powerful, the battlefield is vividly portrayed, each person in full detail… I feel as though they are real people!”
“These nine people look exceptionally remarkable, huh? Why do I feel like their expressions seem somewhat painful and unwilling?”
Qing Chen, Long Zixuan, and others all spoke in surprise.
And Nan Feng’s heart trembled slightly, she immediately transmitted a message to ask:
“Zi Ling, what exactly happened?”
The many fellow disciples all looked at Zi Ling, making her feel a bit nervous as she said in a weak voice:
“I, I might have drawn the hundreds of thousands of the allied forces from the Diming Realm, as well as the Taiyi Golden Immortals… into the painting… The ones inside, they should really be living people…”
Nan Feng’s face changed drastically. She had personally seen how the teacher, with a simple stroke, could make something from the outside world disappear into the painting!
Long Zixuan and the others were equally shocked!
Previously, with a single painting, the master was able to kill a clone of the Immortal King, and now, Zi Ling managed to repress hundreds of thousands of a great army… as well as Nine Taiyi Golden Immortals with a single painting?! They were all flabbergasted!
