The Higan Golden Bridge took the form of a rainbow and pierced through the sky before it landed on top of the whirlpool.
Hit by the Higan Golden Bridge, the whirlpool started to turn slower and slower. The powerful light pillar lost some of its glow.
The whirlpool paused for a while and then started to turn in the opposite direction. The originally humongous whirlpool quickly shrank back to a single point. It turned into a light that was as small as dust and completely not eye-catching as it quickly moved away.
Zhu Yi's Yi Daoist Talisman started to flash even brighter and clearer. The Higan Golden Bridge appeared to be everywhere as it extended in all directions and continued its pursuit of that small dot of light.
Light continued to flash between the heaven and earth. The two sides were in a cat-and-mouse game in the Spirit Sea.
On top of the Origin Golden Cup, the White Tiger Grand Sage was no longer crouching. He looked at the light flas.h.i.+ng in the sky and said, "For Zhu Yi to possess such a cultivation level, it's not surprising. However, I have finally witnessed Lin Daohan's power in real life this time. It is extraordinary indeed."
Yang Qing nodded his head and said, "He can't use his Nether Plague Holy Light against Second Senior, but he can still maneuver around Second Senior's Higan Golden Bridge."
As the Great Void Seal helped to raise his level to one of a Vipralopa Stage cultivator, Lin Daohan's powers could easily rival that of a Vipralopa Stage demon even if he did not have the Great Void Holy Pavilion with him.
Such power was enviable indeed.
When Lin Feng saw this scene, he could not help but to smile. Other than disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Zhu Yi was able to fight against the most powerful new additions to the Immortal Soul Stage of the human cultivation realm.
Zhu Hongwu, who could fight Cardinal Tribulation Beginner Stage demons with his bare hands as an Immortal Soul Third Level cultivator, and Lin Daohan, who could do the same, both fought Zhu Yi.
Looking at the situation, Lin Feng could not help but laugh, "Is this something that they have in common?"
Yang Qing looked at the sky and said, "He could not use his Holy Light of Creation and in the long run, he would be a disadvantage. Second Senior will never give him a chance to turn the table around."
He turned to look at Lin Feng and said, "On the other hand, for Third Senior…"
Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, "Tianhao is helping him. Have some faith in your Third Senior."
Yang Qing said, "I have faith in Third Senior. However, the Emperor of the Dead is full of tricks and one could never prepare the perfect defense against him. However, even if Tianhao is not here, I believe that it will be fine. After all, you injured him just now."
As he said that, Yang Qing looked up in the sky and into the independent gray world. He said, "Master, that is…"
Lin Feng's Avatar of Ares said with a smile, "It's fine."
As he said that, the many streams of light in the Spirit Sea suddenly started to merge together. Together, they formed an extremely eye-catching belt of light that pierced through the heaven and earth.
As the huge ray of light trembled, it was able to stir the winds of all four corners of the earth. Those in mid-battle, such as Zhu Yi, Lin Daohan, Yue Hongyan, the Sirius Grand Sage, the monkey and the Golden Cicada all stopped to look.
The ray of light was extraordinary indeed. While it was formed from light, it was as black as paint.
In the jet-black light, one could see many of the light outlines of many figures rising and falling. Collectively, they represented all creations.
There were powerful dragons, Kun Peng, Tao Tie and other fearsome beasts. There were also ordinary humans, beasts, flowers, fishes, and insects.
There were trees that reached out into the sky as well as extremely short bushes. One could also see vast gra.s.sland and wet grounds.
Life of all forms appeared. Then, they perished almost a second later. All that was left was white bones and desolation.
However, this scene did not strike fear into the hearts of everyone present. Instead, they all felt that it was something natural. They were all calm as they stared at all creations returning to their origins and eternal bliss.
The light shadow appeared once more. In the end, one could even lifeless mountains, rivers, sands, and rocks coming to 'life' and then, peris.h.i.+ng.
Yang Qing's turned serious as he said, "This is the Grand Celestial World. The
His cast his gaze to the other side and there, he saw many large rays of light trembling together. They merged together in a curious fas.h.i.+on and then, they turned into a vast belt of light that appeared milky-white.
In that belt of light, one could see many lives appearing and disappearing once more. In contrast to the scene inside the black belt of light, everything appeared to be in radiant health. They all grew earnest and new lives appeared constantly.
Yang Qing's breathing quickened. He reached out with his right hand and opened his right hand. There, one could see a small grain of sand. It was ordinary, but Yang Qing appeared to be using all his strength as he tried to keep it in the center of his palm.
He took in a deep breath and his gaze became calm once more. He looked at the two thick rays of light, one black and one white, which were trembling in the heaven and said, "Third Senior and the Emperor of the Dead are serious this time."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Tianhao blocked off his escape path and w.a.n.g Lin attacked from the near. For him to escape this time, it is nearly impossible."
If he were given a choice, the Emperor of the Dead had no wish of staying in the Death Sea to battle w.a.n.g Lin.
However, because of the tear in the Death Sea, the situation appeared to be fast-changing. The Emperor of the Dead, who had already been severely injured by Lin Feng, had no intention of continuing the fight.
He had lost control of the situation and this was not in his plan. There was no need for him to take such a risk.
Lin Feng remained in the Spirit Sea. Even if he managed to get the upper hand in his fight against w.a.n.g Lin, it did not mean much for him.
Furthermore, he had already been injured by Lin Feng and his powers were severely weakened. He could not fight for long.
However, s.h.i.+ Tianhao was circling the perimeter with his Great Heavenly Wheels, blocking his escape. When he left the Nether Sea then, he did not expect s.h.i.+ Tianhao to tail him all the way here.
He was momentarily slowed by s.h.i.+ Tianhao. In that time, however, w.a.n.g Lin had already caught up to him.
s.h.i.+ Tianhao used his Celestial Sky Formation and City in the Sky to suppress him. The Great Heavenly Wheels were high up in the air. It separated the s.p.a.ce before him and hence, blocked the Emperor of the Dead's escape path.
While his face was pale and he was extremely weak, the Emperor of the Dead was still regal. Just now, when he saw that the sky was sealed, he realized that even if he could defeat w.a.n.g Lin, there was no way for him to escape. Hence, he stopped and stood in mid-air.
He looked around him and noticed that everything had turned into a green world. He did not say anything, but his gaze fell onto w.a.n.g Lin.
w.a.n.g Lin's expression was calm. Clad in purple robes with his white hair behind him, his gaze betrayed no emotion.
The Emperor of the Dead looked at w.a.n.g Lin and suddenly smiled as he said, "Anda and the Samsara Sect disciples are right to view you as a thorn in their eyes."
w.a.n.g Lin did not say anything. However, the area around him started to change.
The sky formed from the Celestial Sky Formation instantly turned dusky yellow. A strong stench of death started to spread in all four directions. The w.a.n.gchuan River flowed quietly and the Narakade Bridge was planted on top of it. The pitch-black Yama Imperial Pavilion appeared and its doors opened. Two wheels of light, one black and one white, emerged.
In the depths of the pavilion, there was a rock that looked like a mirror. It reflected many unimaginable scenes.
On top of the Three Life Stone, one could see a light shadow. It flitted in and out of existence and it brimmed with a mysterious and powerful energy.
The Emperor of the Dead's gaze swept across the Road to the River Styx, the w.a.n.gchuan River, the Narakade Bridge and the Yama Imperial Pavilion. It swept past the Three Life Stone and finally landed on the blurry light that covered the stone.
When he saw that ball of light, the Emperor of the Dead's gaze trembled slightly. He nodded his head and said, "You have a good master."
He was relaxed as he stood mid-air in the void. He slowly stepped forward as if he was strolling. Soon, he entered w.a.n.g Lin's area.
For others, this was a place of death of destruction. For the Emperor of the Dead, this was like a stroll in the park.
The bones on the Road to the River Styx reached out and tried to grab the Emperor of the Dead. However, they gave up halfway.
The River Styx Primordial Water, capable of cleansing everything, fell silent before the Emperor of the Dead. The entire w.a.n.gchuan River appeared to have frozen over.
The Emperor of the Dead did not step across the frozen w.a.n.gchuan River. Instead, he slowly made his way up the Narakade Bridge. With each step he took, the green and black stone bridge was completely silent. It did not react at all.
When he was before the Yama Imperial Pavilion, his eyes flashed with black and white.
The two light wheels in the Yama Imperial Pavilion that were spinning rapidly slowed down before coming to a stop.
The Emperor of the Dead walked through the Yama Imperial Pavilion and appeared before the Three Life Stone. He looked at it and said, "Is it mainly the same as the Ru Lai Daoist?"
He performed spell gestures quickly with his hands and then opened them. A ray of white light flew out and then, it turned into different, vibrant colors.
In the vibrant colors, one could see countless shadows changing and crisscrossing. It revealed a notion similar to the change in the Greater World. Among the many patterns, one could clearly see cities, villages and the wilderness. The many emotions of mankind, happiness, sadness, etc., could all be felt from it too.
Hundreds of thousands of Karmic lines appeared and enveloped the Three Life Stone. Instantly, it prevented its divination abilities.
If this was the Cosmic Marble Buddha's Three Lifetimes Karmic Curse, the Emperor of the Dead could not simply cover it. A slight hesitation would cause the present to become the past and the future to become the past.
After he covered the Three Life Stone, the Emperor of the Dead lifted his head to look at the blurred light. A pensive thought appeared on his face.
At that moment, his heart trembled slightly. He retracted his gaze and looked behind the Three Life Stone.
There, a figure sat on a high throne. He was clad in black dragon robes and he wore a high crown. He looked like the ruler of the underworld but his features resembled w.a.n.g Lin's perfectly. He was cold, austere and regal as he looked down on all creations.
He resembled the Emperor of the Dead.
When he saw him, the Emperor of the Dead felt that something appeared amiss too.
He smiled slightly and said, "Come down." With that, w.a.n.g Lin's body started to become unstable as he was about to descend from the top.
The scene appeared extremely comical. It was a puppet emperor meeting the real emperor.
However, after his telepathic powers came into contact with those of w.a.n.g Lin's body, the Emperor of the Dead could not laugh anymore.
At that moment, the Yama Imperial Pavilion trembled violently. The black and white wheels started to spin again!
