203: A "surprise" for Meng Bi

Buzz—!

The space vibrated violently! A massive light gate, ten zhang high and about five zhang wide,

slowly condensed into shape in the center of the plaza, watched by countless stunned gazes!

Inside the light gate was a twisting, dark vortex, emitting an ancient, desolate aura mixed with hints of blood and deathly silence!

“Enter!”

Following the command of Venerable Ziyang, the hundred Disciples transformed into streaks of light,

and rushed into the dark light gate without hesitation!

Yao Delong's figure flickered, and he was the first to disappear inside, as if teleporting!

An extremely subtle, almost imperceptible spatial fluctuation swept over his body like ripples.

The next moment, the world spun!

The next moment, the world spun!

Above the plaza, a gigantic Light Screen covering the entire area suddenly lit up!

The Light Screen was evenly divided into one hundred squares of the same size. In each square,

the figure of a Disciple who had entered the Secret Realm, along with their surrounding environment, was clearly reflected!

“Look quickly! It's Senior Brother Yao! He's in a desolate area!”

“That's Senior Brother Lei Qianjun! What powerful lightning! He just struck down a sneak-attacking Yao Beast!”

“Senior Sister Liu Ruyan is by a blood river! She's so beautiful!”

“That guy Meng Bi... looks like he fell into a swamp? Haha, serves him right!”

The audience instantly erupted, everyone excitedly searching for the people they were following and discussing animatedly.

On the high platform, Sect Head White Cloud Master, Grand Elder Venerable Ziyang, and the various Peak Masters also fixed their solemn gazes upon the Light Screen.

This hundred-square Light Screen could not only monitor in real-time but also sense through the jade talismans,

allowing them to roughly determine the status and location of the Disciples, making it an important method for the Sect to control the situation in the Secret Realm.

The Netherworld Secret Realm.

The sky was a suppressive dark red, like congealed, filthy blood.

The air was filled with a faint smell of sulfur and decay,

and the Spiritual Qi was impure and violent, causing a slight burning sensation when inhaled.

Yao Delong's figure appeared in a desolate mountain valley filled with strange, jagged rocks and gnarled dead trees.

Beneath his feet was hard, dark red earth where not a blade of grass grew.

In the distance, the outlines of twisted black mountains were faintly visible,

and even further away, there seemed to be poisonous marshes bubbling with air, emitting a foul, nauseating stench.

His Divine Sense instantly spread out!

The massive and boundless power of his Divine Sense poured forth without reservation, like a bursting dam!

It instantly covered every inch of land within a radius of one hundred and fifty li!

The grain of the dead trees, the cracks in the rocks, the bubbles churning in the poisonous marsh,

and even the several Fourth-Tier Yao Beasts lurking deep in the mud, emitting ferocious auras... everything was revealed in minute detail and reflected entirely within his Sea of Consciousness!

“Hm?!”

About a hundred li away from Yao Delong, in a pile of strange, jagged rocks,

a Disciple dressed in Tuyao Peak robes, whose aura had reached the Late Golden Core Stage, was cautiously concealing his presence,

preparing to ambush any opponent who might pass by.

The moment Yao Delong's incomparably tyrannical Divine Sense swept past, the hairs on his entire body stood on end,

as if he had been targeted by a primordial behemoth. A deep terror originating from his Soul instantly turned his face deathly pale!

“Who?! What powerful Divine Sense!”

Terrified, he violently looked up toward the source of the Divine Sense, his eyes filled with disbelief,

“A maniac! How dare someone expose their position so recklessly?!”

He subconsciously gathered his Divine Sense, attempting to probe the source of this Divine Sense in reverse.

However, his Divine Sense was like hitting an invisible yet indestructible copper wall and iron barrier!

Not only could he not advance an inch, but the vast and mighty flood of Divine Sense rebounded, causing a sharp pain in his Sea of Consciousness!

What was even more heart-shattering was that he couldn't perceive the opponent's exact location at all!

This meant that the opponent's Divine Sense coverage far exceeded his own probing limit!

“Hiss...” The Disciple sucked in a cold breath, his back instantly drenched in cold sweat.

“What terrifying Divine Sense! The range is so vast, and the level of refinement is unbelievable!

This... this is definitely not something an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator can achieve!

Could it be those Senior Brothers from Talisman Peak or Pill Cloud Peak who specialize in the Dao of Divine Soul?”

Several names flashed through his mind instantly, and each one made his heart pound.

A strong sense of crisis surged up, and he dared not stay any longer.

His figure turned into a streak of light, and he fled frantically in the direction away from Yao Delong without looking back!

Facing such a profound and unfathomable existence, retreat was the only option!

Main Peak Plaza, in front of the massive hundred-square Light Screen.

“Huh? What happened to Senior Brother Wang from Tuyao Peak? Why did he suddenly run away like he saw a ghost?”

“Yeah, he was hiding perfectly just now, preparing to ambush someone!”

“Look! On the edge of his square, there seemed to be traces of an extremely faint Divine Sense fluctuation flashing past!”

In the audience, sharp-eyed Disciples immediately noticed the abnormal actions of the Disciple surnamed Wang from Tuyao Peak and began discussing it heatedly.

On the high platform, the perceptions of the Peak Masters and Elders were even sharper.

“Hm?” Zhuàn Zhèn Peak Master Peak Master Han Yunzhou raised an eyebrow, a sharp light bursting forth from his eyes,

staring intently at the square representing Yao Delong's location.

He primarily cultivated the Dao of Divine Soul and Formations, making him most sensitive to Divine Sense fluctuations.

“This boy... what incredibly powerful Divine Sense!

It is refined like substance, and the coverage area... I fear it far surpasses ordinary Golden Core Perfection!

It might even... have reached the Nascent Soul Stage!”

His voice carried a hint of incredible astonishment.

“What? A Divine Sense range approaching the Early Nascent Soul Stage?”

Hearing this, the expressions of the surrounding Elders all changed, and their gazes simultaneously focused on Yao Delong's square.

They saw Yao Delong's figure moving rapidly through the desolate valley in the image, and that

profound, invisible aura, which made hearts tremble, seemed to transmit itself through the Light Screen.

The Dan Chenzi stroked his beard, a sharp light flickering in his eyes, showing both pride,

and a trace of imperceptible worry. This boy was too attention-grabbing!

Inside the Secret Realm.

Yao Delong paid no attention to the Late Golden Core Stage Disciple who had been scared away; his target was clear and singular—Meng Bi!

As he moved, more and more terrain, Yao Beasts,

and the auras of dozens of Disciples scattered everywhere like fireflies,

were instantly and clearly mapped within his Sea of Consciousness, every detail revealed!

“Found him!” A cruel arc hooked up the corners of Yao Delong's cold mouth.

In his Divine Sense perception, about one hundred and twenty li away from him,

on the edge of a poisonous marsh bubbling with dark green air and emitting a pungent stench,

was a figure dressed in luxurious brocade robes, miserably trying to pull his leg out of the sticky mud. Who could it be but Meng Bi?

“Great Young Master Meng, your good days are over.”

Yao Delong's gaze sharpened, and the Nine Yang Heaven Burning Art roared into operation within his body!

The Golden Core within his Dantian spun frantically, and pure, majestic Blazing Sun Yuan Power surged out like a volcanic eruption, flooding his entire body!

“Instantaneous Body Sword Art!”

Swish!

His figure suddenly blurred and vanished from the spot!

There was no sound of air being breached, no afterimage; it was as if he had directly merged into space!

The next moment, like a phantom, he appeared out of thin air above the foul-smelling poisonous marsh,

perfectly blocking the path of Meng Bi, who had just pulled out his leg and was about to flee in panic!

“Wh—what?!”

The panic on Meng Bi's face instantly froze, turning into extreme terror and disbelief!

He stared as if he had seen a ghost, his eyeballs nearly popping out of their sockets,

fixed intensely on the figure before him, whose white robes surpassed snow and whose aura was as profound as an abyss!

“Tele... Teleportation?! Impossible! You... you broke through to Nascent Soul?!”

Meng Bi's voice became sharp and distorted due to extreme fear,

the hairs on his entire body stood up, and a wave of coldness shot straight from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head!

Teleportation is only mastered by a Nascent Soul Cultivator! How could this boy possibly do it?!
