Rules of Heaven - C28
After the Heavenly Talisman spun for a while, an illusory shadow gradually left Ding Hong’s body. That shadow’s appearance was exactly the same as Ding Hong’s. However, there was still a faint mist on the back of the shadow, so it was hard to tell what it was. The shadow seemed to be on the verge of dissipating after it left Ding Hong’s body. Unexpectedly, after the Heavenly Talisman sensed Ding Hong’s shadow, the eight Yin Yang talismans on its body slowly descended from the Heavenly Talisman and formed a Taiji eight trigram diagram.
As soon as the eight trigram diagram appeared, it began to rotate on its own. Ding Hong’s dissipating shadow suddenly started to condense again. However, looking at its size, it was gradually shrinking. When it was only two or three feet high, the shadow suddenly opened its eyes. As the shadow opened its eyes, the Heavenly Talisman also moved. It shook its body and suddenly entered the shadow’s forehead.
“Ah …” Ding Hong’s real body cried out in pain. Just now, he felt his soul suddenly emerge from his body and was attracted by the eight trigram diagram diagram. After that, when the heavenly talisman entered his forehead, he felt as if tens of thousands of insects were corroding his bones. Unexpectedly, he moved his body and heard a “ding” sound. A part of the shadow shattered.
After the phantom shattered, Ding Hong felt even more pain. Just a moment ago, it was only a bone and flesh pain, but now it was a mental pain.
“Ahhh …” Ding Hong continued wailing in pain. No one could understand his pain. The feeling was akin to the pain of a thousand knives scraping against one’s bones.
At this time, the crystal in the sculpture’s hand suddenly lit up, releasing a powerful white light. However, the white light did not shoot out directly as it usually did. Instead, it transformed into a curved line and entered the shadow. As soon as the white light entered the shadow, the broken parts of the shadow actually started to recover bit by bit. Not long later, it returned to its original appearance. Ding Hong, who was wailing in pain, also felt that the pain from earlier had lessened a lot. Although he still felt that way, he was still able to endure it.
Even so, from time to time, the shadow would shatter, but once it shattered, it would be restored by the white light. After repeating this countless times, the Eight Trigrams Assimilation gradually disappeared, and Ding Hong had long since fainted from the torture. At this moment, Fantasy Star also looked tired. The originally dazzling light was now almost gone.
Suddenly, a white-haired old man came out from Ding Hong’s body. The old man looked at Ding Hong with an expressionless face as he coldly said, “In order to exhaust the power of this illusionary star, I have given you such good fortune for nothing!” “Then he came to the side of the stone statue and looked at the illusionary star.” Hmph, I didn’t think that this Fantasy Star would be placed here. A group of ignorant juniors. ” With a raise of his hand, the illusory star flew into his hand. He seemed to be in a great mood after obtaining Fantasy Star. Laughing loudly, he said, “I didn’t expect that the thing that the Three Great Clans of the Human and Demon Clans risked their lives to obtain would make it so easy for me.”
“Fellow Daoist, why have you come to my Penglai clan but not to the main gate?” Wu Lingdao suddenly appeared from thin air, calmly sitting on a chair.
The old man was not surprised when Wu Lingdao came out. He looked at him coldly and said, “This old man can come as I please, and leave as he pleases. What can you do to me? A mere Penglai is able to stop me? ”
Wu Ling Dao chuckled, “Perhaps a thousand years ago, I wasn’t able to keep you by myself, but now that you have just escaped and your mana is weak, I can naturally keep you.”
Hearing his words, the muscles on the old man’s face twitched slightly before snorting coldly. He suddenly grasped at the star illusion and coldly laughed, “Right now, my mana is indeed extremely weak, but with this star illusion, what can you do to me?” With that, his entire demeanor changed and became as tyrannical as a torrential rain. His body turned into a streak of light, shooting straight into the sky and instantly disappearing into the sky.
Wu Lingdao was not surprised to see him leave. He said, “Junior Qi, carry this young man back to rest. “He just merged with the Heavenly Talisman, so he must be a little weak right now. Take care of him.”
The old woman with the surname ‘Qi’ suddenly walked out from under the tower. She didn’t even bow before directly carrying Ding Hong and leaving. Subsequently, Wu Lingdao took out a handful of dust from the void and gently sprinkled a lot of it. The dust slowly rotated in the air before finally turning into a door. Wu Ling Dao waited for a while longer before standing up and walking through the door.
As soon as he passed through that door, the scenery between the heaven and earth changed. The Penglai Immortal Mountain had disappeared and was replaced by a massive desert. The hot sun was scorching the earth, and it seemed as if the sky and earth had turned hazy.
Not far ahead of Wu Ling Road, the mysterious white haired old man stood there motionlessly. In front of the mysterious old man was a white-haired old man. However, not only was the old man’s hair white, even his clothes were white. This old man was the one who spoke to Wu Ling Dao that day, Zimo. Zimo’s back was facing the old man, but his aura was overflowing with confidence. It was as if he didn’t care about anything in the world.
At this moment, the mysterious old man had an unprecedented look of seriousness on his face. He suddenly realized that Wu Lingdao had also come, and he suddenly realized something as he said, “So it turns out that all of you had planned this out!”
Wu Ling replied, “I originally wanted to borrow the youth’s Heavenly Talisman and Fuxi’s arm bone to awaken the Black Turtle, but who would’ve thought that you would appear here.” He sighed, “Originally, the tiny remnant soul that was searching for you ran for hundreds of years. However, today, your entire soul has come out.”
The mysterious old man opened his eyes and said, “Hmph, that Black Tortoise was an unyielding lord during the ancient times. Afterwards, for some unknown reason, it fell asleep today, only sliding on the ground with its consciousness. If you wake it up, don’t you know what the consequences will be! ”
“Hmph.” It was Zi Mo who snorted coldly and said, “Now that the seal on the Demon World has been loosened, the Ghost Clan is ready to go, and the Monster Race is hiding in the Mirror World to harass the human world. Only by waking up this Black Turtle can they save the world.
The mysterious old man glanced at Zimo coldly and said, “So that’s what you think. But now, human thoughts are rotten, and the actions you take are corrupt. I am the only one who can destroy the world and inflict more damage to humanity. What do you two know?”
Wu Lingdao shook his head and said calmly: “Benefactor, your words are a bit extreme. Humanity is always like this. If there is joy, there is weakness. Why do you have to ruin it?”
The mysterious old man coldly snorted and didn’t bother to talk anymore. He raised the hand that held Fantasy Star and said, “Then let’s see whether it’s your dao or mine that’s correct.” He suddenly raised his right hand and shouted with a ferocious expression, “Open the sky!”
With a rumble, a large, pitch-black hole suddenly appeared on the mysterious old man’s head. Lightning and thunder rumbled within the hole, and the sounds of explosions could be heard incessantly. In the blink of an eye, the black hole had risen to a hundred feet above the mysterious old man’s head. Then, the black hole quickly expanded to over a hundred miles in radius.
The mysterious old man lowered his arm. Perhaps it was because this move consumed too much mana, to the point where sweat appeared on his forehead and his breathing became rapid. He said coldly: “If you guys have the ability to break my opening, then that means you’re right. With that, he flew into the black hole!
The moment he entered the black hole, the sound of thunder from inside became even louder!
Zi Mo and Wu Ling Dao looked at each other before quickly retreating. Just as they retreated, a huge black monster emerged from the black hole and pounced on the place where they were. The monster’s body felt like it was a black hole. Wherever its body passed by, it would be directly sucked in and torn to shreds.
Wu Ling Dao retreated to the back. With a wave of his hand, a thirty meter tall transparent ice wall suddenly appeared in front of him. The black monster reached out its hand to grab him, but the moment it touched the ice wall, it appeared on the other side. It let out a loud roar, and suddenly, another huge black monster appeared from its waist. It jumped over the ice wall and flew straight towards the Wu Ling Road.
But halfway through the flight, a golden light flashed and struck the body of the monster. The golden light, however, was not swallowed by the monster’s black hole, but was directly cut off by the golden light. After the monster was cut in half, the part of it that was not connected to the gigantic black hole in the sky instantly disappeared without a trace.
Turning his gaze back to Zimo, he saw that his left hand was holding a large green seal while his right hand was holding a gigantic golden sword. He looked at the huge black hole in the sky and said, “A mere Nirvana Realm technique dares to show off!”
Hearing Zimo’s words, a huge face suddenly appeared in the black hole, it looked at him and said, “Then let’s see what you can do, how many moves can you take from me!” Once he finished speaking, the giant face suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a lightning as thick as a well. The moment the lightning was spat out, it transformed into two bolts that went straight for Zimo and Lingdao.
And when Wu Lingdao saw the giant face opening its mouth, his hand drew a circle of light in front of his chest. When the lightning arrived, it directly shot into the ring of light and disappeared, as if it had been swallowed. On the other hand, Zimo lifted the green seal and directly blocked the lightning, but he wasn’t as carefree as Formless Dao. After receiving the lightning, a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he had suffered in secret.
The giant face inside the black hole saw that it did not cause too much harm to the two of them and could not help but open its mouth to scream out. Even the heavens felt that this aura was too tragic. The sky above the desert suddenly became overcast with dark clouds. In the next moment, heavy rain began to fall!
Wu Ling Dao and Zimo’s face changed when they heard this, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Wu Lingdao shouted loudly, “This is bad, he’s going to be bedeviled!”
Zimo snorted coldly, suddenly dropping to the ground from the sky. He put away the green seal and the golden sword, formed a seal with his hand, and shouted, “Four soul seals, open!”
“Ao! Ao! Ao!” “Roar!” “Ah!” Four different cries resounded through the air. The figures of the Vermillion Bird, the White Tiger, the Azure Dragon, and the Black Tortoise all flew towards the black hole, emitting bursts of light. A moment later, the rainy sky was clear again.
Seeing that Zi Mo had used four soul imprints, Wu Ling also didn’t hesitate. He drew a few lines in the air and shouted, “God of Heaven, descend!”
Dong, dong, dong! A three hundred foot tall golden armored giant with a spear suddenly walked out from the void. As soon as the golden-armored giant appeared, it leapt forward, stabbing its spear into the black hole. “Ah…” With a cry of pain, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the black hole. Following that, an enormous bolt of lightning shot out and struck the golden armored giant’s spear. The gun turned into dust in the blink of an eye.
As for the golden-armored giant, when he saw the lightning strike towards the spear, he immediately loosened his grip to avoid the lightning’s spread. Next, the golden-armored giant jumped with all its might, actually rising six to seven hundred feet into the air. He raised a pair of huge fists and prepared to punch them in. Unexpectedly, just as his fist was halfway done, a black stone person about his height suddenly drilled out of the black hole and met his fist.
With a “hong” sound, the golden-armored giant’s fist lit up with sparks the size of a normal house. Afterwards, with a clang, the golden-armored giant’s arm was actually split in two and it was about to fall down as well. The stone golem saw that the golden-armored giant had retreated, but it didn’t pursue it. However, the golden-armored giant suddenly stretched out his left hand and grabbed the stone golem’s neck. Immediately afterwards, the golden-armored giant used all its strength and slammed its head against the stone golem.
With a loud ‘boom’, the stone man’s head was split into pieces, and the man in golden armor seemed to have lost all of his strength. His hands loosened for a moment before falling to the ground. With a “dong” sound, it fell onto the ground, creating a huge crater in the soft desert.
Wu Lingdao spat out a mouthful of blood after the golden-armored giant smashed the stone head into pieces. He half knelt on the ground for a short while, and blood slowly flowed out of his remaining six orifices.
The stone man, who had lost its head, struggled in the air for a while before falling down from the black hole. It crashed into the golden-armored giant’s body, producing a loud dang sound. After this battle, the black hole had shrunk by 50 to 60 miles.
Zi Mo looked at Wu Ling Dao. He knew that Wu Ling Dao had sustained severe injuries. If he didn’t treat his injuries, his cultivation base would definitely be forced to retreat! Without any more hesitation, he took out the golden sword in his right hand and threw it towards the sky, shouting: “Watch me break you open the sky!” “Dragon Transformation skill!” As soon as the three words “Dragon Transformation skill” came out of his mouth, the golden sword released a dragon roar and transformed into a giant golden dragon, directly entering the black hole. The moment the golden dragon entered the black hole, its large face appeared, as if it was struggling with itself. After a while, a violent dragon roar came from the black hole, followed by a “puchi” sound. The golden dragon actually pierced through the back of the black hole. After the golden dragon emerged from the black hole, the gigantic face could no longer maintain its circular shape.
Then Zimo looked at the black hole in the sky and shouted, “Four soul imprints, absolute!”
Another four roars, one of the black hole’s four sides suddenly released green, red, white and black beams. With a “whoosh” sound, the black hole instantly turned into a white crystal and fell from the sky. Zimo jumped into the air to catch the white crystal. Seeing this, Zimo let out a long sigh of relief.
After that, he turned around and walked to Wu Ling Dao’s side. After taking a few breaths, Wu Ling Dao’s complexion had obviously improved a little, he said: “I never thought that this person’s cultivation would be so strong when he’s weak. If he recovers his cultivation in the future, he would truly be an impressive person!”
Zimo nodded, handing the illusion star to Wu Lingdao, saying, “This is over, now I have to hurry back to the Heavenly Palace to prepare for the meeting in five years.”
Now that Wu Lingdao had recovered, he nodded in agreement. He stood up and said, “Let’s leave here. I also want to use these few years to wake up the Black Turtle.”
Seeing him say this, Zimo didn’t force himself to express his wish to send it back. “That’s good too.” And then, the two of them used their divine abilities and disappeared.
After they left, a worm slowly crawled out of the desert. That worm came to the place where Wu Ling Dao and Zimo spat out blood, added a bit each, and disappeared into the sand.
