257: Fighting against the sky

You consecutively Soul Searched several more Cultivators, but found that everyone's memories were the same.

Qin Shang seemed to already know Fu Cang's purpose for this trip, so he didn't raise any questions.

"Strange..."

You gently shook your head, decided not to think about it anymore, and returned to cultivate in the Central Sacred Domain.

However, not long after, the Void Realm around you suddenly tightened.

They were like frozen currents, instantly locking you in place.

You didn't dare to hesitate at all and immediately activated Celestial Travel in your mind.

But who would have thought that this feeling of being locked down would follow you like a shadow?

No matter where you went, it could always lock you in place, unable to move.

Until the end, all the immortal power in your body was exhausted, yet you still couldn't break free from its restraint!

"Damn it..."

You immediately realized that the person behind this was extremely powerful.

It must be one of Qin Shang or Fu Cang.

And as if to confirm your guess.

The next moment, the Void Realm beside you suddenly shattered, and a white-robed old man walked out from within.

It was Fu Cang!

And after him, another person walked out from the Void Realm!

It was Xiang Ping!

At this moment, his face was as fair as jade, and he wore a hair crown.

The Aura in his every gesture revealed the majesty of a superior.

If it weren't for some similarity in his features, you truly wouldn't believe that the person in front of you had any connection to the former Xiang Ping.

"Master..."

Xiang Ping wanted to step forward, but Fu Cang stopped him.

He gently shook his head and said, "Now is not the time."

"Let your disciple take care of this person for now."

As soon as he finished speaking, you felt your vision go black, and you were instantly dragged into a special space.

You stayed in this space for a very, very long time.

Although the Aura here made you feel oppressed, your Crisis Awareness never sent you a warning.

This indicated that at least for now, Fu Cang had no intention of killing you.

"Hmph, it would be best if I could be confined for twenty thousand years."

You snorted coldly, then began to cultivate in place in this space.

However...

Your thoughts ultimately came to naught.

Just as you had condensed a Fatal Strike, Fu Cang released you.

You swept your Divine Sense around and found that this was the blood-colored altar where you first obtained the Dao Seed.

At this moment, it was filled with many Cultivators.

They all looked nervous, and even Xiang Ping and Fu Cang in the crowd were the same.

And you, were firmly bound at the core of the Formation.

"The time is almost up... Prepare the Formation, sacrifice!"

As soon as the words fell, a Dao Embryo Realm Cultivator stepped forward.

He held a blood-colored great blade and brought it down on your head!

"Clang!!!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and you were not harmed in the slightest.

Instead, the Cultivator holding the blood blade was shaken back repeatedly.

"Wang Teng, what are you doing?!"

"If you delay the sacrifice, how can you bear the responsibility?!"

Wang Teng smiled awkwardly.

Then, he mustered all his Qi and struck out with another blade!

The terrifying power swept away all the surrounding Spiritual Qi, and the condensed blade edge made everyone present tremble with fear!

However...

As this blade light fell, the scene everyone imagined did not appear.

Instead, Wang Teng was once again repelled, flying backward on the spot!

For a moment, everyone was shocked.

They all noticed the anomaly about you.

After all, Wang Teng's performance just now was obvious to all; he showed no mercy at all.

His veins bulged, and he used all his strength.

And you were bound in the core of the Formation, only able to passively defend.

Under these circumstances, even a Cultivator far stronger than Wang Teng could not have remained unharmed!

"Hmph, since this person doesn't want to die peacefully, then let him suffer more."

"Formation, rise! Forcibly refine this person to secure a glimmer of hope for this world!"

Fu Cang waved his hand, immediately instructing his subordinates to activate the grand Formation.

And he himself sat cross-legged behind the grand Formation, continuously injecting immortal power.

In an instant, you only felt yourself enveloped by a burst of light.

A large amount of energy was drawn from your body, instantly surging into the other side of the Formation!

And sitting cross-legged there was Xiang Ping!

At this moment, his Aura had changed again.

Just sitting there, he seemed to have become the master of the world.

The entire world seemed to have been born for him, and all living beings seemed to have become his servants.

"It seems there's no escaping today."

"If that's the case, then I'll kill you!"

You aimed the Fatal Strike at Xiang Ping.

Instantly, you felt a mighty power of heaven and earth imposed upon you.

They injected into your body, controlling your body.

As if trying to stop your movements with this method.

However... it was too late!

The moment the mighty power of heaven and earth appeared, you completely unleashed the Fatal Strike!

A magnificent great seal slowly condensed in the sky.

It continuously drew Spiritual Qi and Dao essence from between heaven and earth.

Continuously refining and compressing.

Even though the mighty power of heaven and earth repeatedly tried to block it, it failed to reduce its power by half!

Finally... the seal was formed!

The brilliant great seal illuminated the entire world.

But the power contained within it made everyone tremble with fear.

Xiang Ping, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly awoke with a start.

A dangerous Aura surged into his heart, making him instantly realize that something was wrong.

"Buzz!!!"

He unleashed a ten-thousand-zhang phantom, but the phantom shattered the moment it touched the great seal!

He released a shield, but in front of the great seal, this top-tier Dao weapon was as fragile as paper.

Finally...

The mighty power of heaven and earth formed a light barrier in front of him, but it only slightly blocked it before being covered in cracks!

"Stop! What are you trying to do?!"

"Without Xiang Ping, how can we contend against the gods of the heavens?!"

Fu Cang roared repeatedly, immediately abandoning his control of the Formation and blocking in front of Xiang Ping!

His Aura surged dramatically, and his blood Qi merged perfectly with the sword in his hand, fusing into one.

"Sword Severance!!!"

With one sword strike, the firmament inverted, and rolling thunder continuously sounded.

The terrifying sword edge even shattered heaven and earth, making the power of heaven and earth pale in comparison before it.

However, compared to the great seal.

It was still like a firefly compared to the bright moon, an ant seeing the clear sky!
