773: Rebellion, surprise attack, and loss of inspiration
"Linggan disciples, follow this Holy Lord forward to slay the enemy!"
The Linggan Holy Lord's figure vanished from the central divine boat.
In an instant, he had already arrived at the more than ten spirit boats on the left side of the warship fleet, flying the banner of the Linggan Holy Land.
These more than ten spirit boats were all filled with elite Disciples of the Linggan Holy Land.
Even Dao Lords numbered several.
Even the Linggan Holy Land Old Ancestor, Linggan Celestial Venerable, was stationed on these more than ten spirit boats.
With a command from the Linggan Holy Lord, the immense Aura of his Dao Integration Realm exploded forth.
In a flash, these more than ten spirit boats violently shook, their speed suddenly increasing.
They bypassed the warship fleet and headed straight north.
As the Linggan Holy Lord revealed his Aura, several Dao Lords of He Dao within the Linggan Holy Land also displayed their Auras, signaling their arrival.
Inside a secret chamber on the main spirit boat of the Linggan Holy Land.
A figure clad in a five-colored treasure robe, with skin as smooth as an infant's and a physique like a child, sat upright.
Between his brows, a speck of spiritual light continuously emitted five-colored radiance.
"Strange... I can't detect Mo Xuan's Aura..."
"Be careful..."
The Five-Colored Child was precisely the Linggan Holy Land Old Ancestor, Linggan Celestial Venerable.
Linggan Celestial Venerable's eyes held a hint of caution amidst his confusion.
He took 'Linggan' (Spiritual Perception) as his title, and his spiritual sensitivity was paramount.
No disturbance could escape his Spiritual Perception.
Therefore, he dared to volunteer himself, letting the Linggan Holy Lord personally request to serve as the vanguard.
He relied on his Spiritual Perception; if there was danger, he could immediately lead his Disciples to retreat.
If Mo Xuan or a Cultivator from the Qingyang Zhou Clan pursued them, that would be even better.
At that time, it could be called 'luring the snake out of its hole'.
Linggan Celestial Venerable's mind was solemn, and he did not dare to be careless.
Between his brows, his wondrous spiritual perception continuously sensed the heavens and earth.
Several immense Auras of the Dao Integration Realm, accompanied by spirit boats, swiftly traversed the Void Realm.
They rapidly approached the northern part of the Chaotic Sea.
"If Mo Xuan can be lured out this time, perhaps I can request a secret of Undergoing Tribulation from the Dao Court..."
"By then, this Venerable can also step onto the path to Immortal Ascension, with hope of reaching the Immortal Realm..."
Linggan Celestial Venerable continuously probed the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, attempting to find Mo Xuan's location.
Yet, various thoughts flashed through his mind.
These thoughts grew more and more numerous.
Soon, they silently took over Linggan Celestial Venerable's mind.
"Immortal Ascension..."
"Hehehe..."
On the main spirit boat, inside the secret chamber, the Five-Colored Child, Linggan Celestial Venerable, couldn't help but chuckle softly.
The spiritual light between his brows still radiated.
But he was completely unaware that the surrounding heavens and earth were becoming increasingly silent.
The spirit boat grew lighter and lighter.
Even the various Auras of the Dao Integration Realm that had been released seemed to have vanished.
"Longevity..."
"Hmm?"
"No!"
Just then.
On the main spirit boat, inside the secret chamber.
The Five-Colored Child's heart suddenly jolted.
Within his Spiritual Perception, three inexplicable malicious intents had already approached within a thousand zhang of him.
Yet, he only discovered a slight clue at this moment.
"Gloomy Fire!"
Just as the Five-Colored Child suddenly awoke.
"Bang!"
With a soft whisper, a ball of Gloomy Fire exploded with a 'bang'.
The gloomy flames seemed to be born from the Great Dao.
"Ah!"
"My Spiritual Perception!"
The Five-Colored Child's mind was suddenly pierced with pain.
His Spiritual Perception was too strong.
But that ball of Gloomy Fire seemed capable of scorching Spiritual Perception.
Within his Spiritual Perception, his true spirit, and his Great Dao, Gloomy Fire ignited one after another.
This sudden change was too abrupt.
It left him no time to feel dread or alarm.
He was clearly perceiving the heavens and earth, so how could he fail to notice malice approaching him?
Moreover... the other Cultivators of the Linggan Holy Land seemed to have long vanished from his perception, yet he hadn't noticed.
Linggan Celestial Venerable had no time to ponder.
It was only an instant.
The moment the Gloomy Fire ignited.
The spiritual light between the Five-Colored Child's brows extinguished.
The power of the Great Dao spread around him, forming a light of the Great Dao to protect his body, while his figure rapidly merged into the heavens and earth.
Severing his burning Spiritual Perception, using the power of the Great Dao for protection, and transforming his Dao body into the heavens and earth to escape.
This series of actions was undeniably decisive and swift.
However, just as the Five-Colored Child's figure was about to turn into nothingness.
A hand radiating cold light, as if it controlled the ultimate sharpness in the world, brought its fingers together and thrust forward.
Clang!
It was like a sharp sword being unsheathed.
The ultimate sharpness pierced through the five-colored light, piercing through the Five-Colored Child's protective Great Dao.
It emerged from the body of the Five-Colored Child, who was about to turn into nothingness.
"Hoo..."
The Five-Colored Child's figure suddenly solidified.
Bang!
The next instant, he directly exploded, turning into a mist of blood.
The Five-Colored Child did not perish just yet.
The blood mist scattered.
It detached from the arm enveloped in sharp cold light and the figure that resembled a drawn blade.
Appearing in another location.
And reformed into a human shape.
"Hehehe! Broken Halberd, you're nothing more than this!"
"Behold this Venerable's Divine Ability, White Bone Divine Mountain!"
A white bone giant grinned sinisterly, emerging from nothingness.
Within its eye sockets, azure ghost fire danced wildly.
Boom!
Between heaven and earth.
Bones formed a mountain, descending from the sky.
As the blood mist transformed into a human figure, it was fiercely suppressed by the blood mist figure.
Each of these white bones contained an extraordinary power, embodying the Dao of Hua Gu Celestial Venerable.
Under this extraordinary power, the blood mist was unable to fully form.
"Bang!"
While the blood mist was suppressed and frozen by the white bones.
A ball of Gloomy Fire suddenly flared up from beneath the white bones.
"Ahhh!"
"No!"
"You all..."
"Who are you...?"
Beneath the White Bone Divine Mountain.
The blood mist was confined, continuously scorched by the rising Gloomy Fire.
The Five-Colored Child's face twisted in agony within the blood mist.
But he had lost too much initiative.
Being ambushed by these three old schemers.
One step slow, every step slow.
At this point, he was already unable to escape.
"Ah!"
"How could this be..."
Within the Gloomy Fire, the blood mist continuously evaporated.
And the White Bone Divine Mountain revealed its extraordinary power.
Continuously tormenting the figure that had yet to fully form within it.
The Five-Colored Child roared in pain.
But he couldn't understand when exactly he had fallen into the trap.
It was like a barrier that had reversed his Spiritual Perception and twisted his thoughts.
Leaving him bewildered by his own thoughts.
Step by step, he only suddenly awoke when malice approached within a thousand zhang.
However, for a Celestial Venerable.
A distance of a thousand zhang was simply too short.
Boom!
Beneath the White Bone Divine Mountain, the Gloomy Fire suddenly surged.
Within it.
The blood mist completely turned into nothingness, vanishing.
"Dead?"
"No... escaped."
A phantom shadow emerged from nothingness, lightly beckoning, and retrieved the ball of Gloomy Fire burning beneath the White Bone Divine Mountain.
"Hiss... truly marvelous, what a pity..."
Celestial Venerables are not so easily killed.
Despite the assistance of the barrier formed by the Divine Ability of that individual in the Undersea Profound Palace, and their combined sneak attack to severely wound Linggan Celestial Venerable in an instant.
Still, Celestial Venerables imprint the heavens, and he managed to escape at the last moment.
"That individual's Divine Ability..."
"Truly terrifying..."
You Hun Celestial Venerable swallowed the ball of Gloomy Fire into his belly.
This area, spanning a million li, had all been enveloped by the Realm of Reversal.
The Realm of Reversal was traceless and imperceptible.
Even Linggan Celestial Venerable, known for his Spiritual Perception, was easily deceived.
At the same time.
In a Small World an unknown distance from the Chaofeng Ancient Realm.
Buzz!
The heavens and earth suddenly trembled, as if an extremely painful and weak phantom figure manifested in the sky.
Causing the beings in this Small World to prostrate themselves.
This phantom figure's eyes were filled with extreme terror.
He had almost perished... "I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."
The phantom figure trembled, muttering incessantly. The next instant, its Aura retracted, and it hid itself tightly within the Great Dao of this world, with no intention of returning to the Chaofeng Ancient Realm.
Chaofeng Ancient Realm.
East of the Eastern Desolation, Chaotic Sea, Void Realm.
"Stop!"
In the center of the traversing warship fleet, on the divine boat, the Dao Court Dao Master cried out, his voice echoing throughout the Void Realm.
The Dao Court Dao Master's eyes were extremely solemn; the spirit boats of the Linggan Holy Land had completely lost contact.
