226: Black Lotus Illusion Appears

Current accumulated collapse value—

580!

“Still not enough.”

On Tianyun Mountain in the Ten Thousand Beasts Holy Land, East Heaven Domain.

The light screen in front of him was already closed.

Lin Sheng looked at the '580' collapse value, a trace of anxiety surfacing in his heart.

The Wan Ding God Domain was about to border the East Heaven Domain.

And due to the Collapsing Heavenly Dao's active appearance in the Wan Ding God Domain just now, as well as the series of effects from Li Changsheng and others exposing their identities as Heavenly Mandated Protagonists.

The cultivators in the Wan Ding God Domain would only pay more attention to the East Heaven Domain!

He believed.

Today, there would definitely be people from the Wan Ding God Domain coming to the East Heaven Domain!

Whether out of curiosity about the protagonist group's experiences, family background, or other reasons, there would definitely be some!

He wanted to step into the Hong Meng Second Tribulation before that.

Only then could he claim to be invincible!

Outside the house.

The rain intensified rapidly.

Lin Sheng closed his eyes, his mind seemingly braving the rain, traversing back and forth between heaven and earth dozens of times in a single thought.

His divine sense extended.

Even the distant Wan Ding God Domain was within his perception.

He saw places where the sun shone brightly, and places where the starry night filled the sky; saw mountain people herding on the grasslands, and Great Emperors fighting to the death on skeletal dragons; saw people striding through the Star Sea, and others struggling for survival in a sea of blood...

The Hong Meng First Tribulation was called Minor Ruler.

Lin Sheng now deeply understood this.

With just a gentle breath, he could easily stir up horrific world-destroying storms in the scenes he had just perceived!

Another half an incense stick's time passed.

He withdrew his divine sense that had flown beyond the heavens, opened his eyes, and looked ahead.

Su Yuyao was sitting properly before him again, her face flushed.

Two strands of glossy black hair fell before her graceful and charming face, but she didn't have time to brush them away, instead busily starting to brew a cup of tea for him.

During the moments she had free while waiting, she occasionally noticed Lin Sheng's gaze.

She would lower her head, her face and ears blushing fiercely.

Lin Sheng felt slightly surprised.

He said directly: “What? Your previous performance made me think you were from the Joyful Union Sect, why do you look like a respectable woman now?”

“It’s... different.”

Su Yuyao quickly glanced at Lin Sheng, then lowered her head and replied softly: “This situation now... is different from before.”

“Understood, you act according to the situation.”

“......”

She nodded slightly, her gaze fixed intently on the tea table.

Lin Sheng was originally planning to tease his maidservant during this free time, but a sudden tremor flashed through his heart!

Hmm!?

What is this feeling!?

The sky...?

In his divine sense perception, the entire sky was blurry at this moment!

His divine sense could not penetrate it, and he couldn't even determine how large the blurry area was!

‘What's going on!?’

Lin Sheng flashed to the window and looked up at the sky.

Sheng Long'er followed closely behind him.

The two of them saw.

At this moment, the entire sky flickered between bright and dark, white and black, as if two forces were battling in the sky, intending to make the sky the color favored by one of them.

“Master, what's wrong? Why is the sky...”

“There are two forces overhead.”

“Are they very strong?”

“Yes, I feel... they are even stronger than the Five Heavenly Emperors of the Hong Meng Second Tribulation.”

“Hiss—is that not the Supreme Realm?”

Throughout the original book.

Only the Truth Black Lotus was explicitly a 'Supreme Realm' existence; there were no other Supremes besides it.

Therefore, at this moment.

Such a strange phenomenon in the sky truly made him feel quite puzzled.

“Could it be the Collapsing Heavenly Dao and the Truth Black Lotus?”

“But how could the Heavenly Dao compete with Truth?”

Perhaps echoing his words.

The darkness in the sky ultimately triumphed over the light; those rays were dispersed, and the sky was once again gloomy.

Pitter-patter...

The rain gradually slowed.

“Huh? It's normal now, looks like that Collapsing Heavenly Dao isn't that great?”

Sheng Long'er followed her Master's words, covering her mouth with a smile: “It was taken down by Truth in just a moment, looks like it's nothing special.”

“Heh.”

Lin Sheng smiled: “Rather, being able to contend with Truth for this long is already quite impressive.”

He originally wanted to say that these were ultimately just his guesses.

Unexpectedly, he saw the clouds above the sky disperse, revealing a colossal black lotus that covered the entire firmament and flowed with endless divine light.

“Master, look! The black lotus!”

“No, that is its illusion.”

Lin Sheng stepped out of the house, stood on the ground, and looked up, gazing at the black lotus.

The black lotus seemed to be watching him as well.

It stopped the rain, took out the moon and clouds, and then gradually hid itself among the clouds again, like a shy young girl.

Lin Sheng's face showed contemplation.

“First the Heavenly Dao appeared, then the black lotus manifested.”

“It seems.”

“Its struggle with the Collapsing Heavenly Dao is becoming more direct and more intense.”

Upon hearing this, Sheng Long'er nodded solemnly and followed up by saying: “I know, I know, we are on the black lotus's side!”

Lin Sheng smiled gently and patted Sheng Long'er's head.

The black lotus in the sky did not appear for too long; it gradually faded away after a short while.

Moonlight spilled down.

Lin Sheng and Sheng Long'er returned to the courtyard, and only then did Sheng Long'er realize and say: “Huh? Master, did the black lotus just protect you?”

“Hmm? How do you say that?”

“Aren't you opposing the Collapsing Heavenly Dao? That white light just now was the Collapsing Heavenly Dao; did it want to directly eliminate you? Is it just because you have the Truth Black Lotus protecting you that you're fine?”

“That makes a lot of sense.”

Lin Sheng actually felt the same way.

However, in that case.

That meant his confrontation with the Heavenly Dao was becoming increasingly heated, and improving his cultivation was still an urgent matter!

In his field of vision, the icon for the Chat Group for Protagonist was flashing frequently.

This indicated frequent chatting within the group, perhaps something big was happening.

Lin Sheng immediately clicked into it.

[Chu Tianze: Heavens! Did you guys see that? The sky in the Wan Ding God Domain is flashing on and off, it's terrifying! Who is up there, I've never felt this aura before!]

Hmm?

They were also competing in the Wan Ding God Domain?

[Li Changsheng: If I'm not mistaken, the Collapsing Heavenly Dao has encountered an enemy!]

[Lan Ao (Lost Soul): It might not be it... right?]

[Duan Wenxian: Just now we saw Duan Lianxin try to go up and investigate, and she was struck down directly! Who else could be stronger than a Heavenly Emperor, we can only guess it's the Collapsing Heavenly Dao.]

[Fang Yuan (Lost Soul): So what's the situation like? We can't see anything at all in the Nine Nether Hell!]

[Li Changsheng: I don't know, but anyway, I'm seeing a super huge black lotus now.]

[Ye Liufeng (Group Owner): Strange, we also saw such a phenomenon in the East Heaven Domain just now, and finally saw a huge black lotus as well.]

[Wang Xuanba: The two disabled old men on my side are like crazy, frantically kowtowing to this black lotus, saying something about something truly existing.]

[Li Changsheng: Holy crap! I saw the Li Family Head who's been following me also bow down!]

[The Zhao Family patriarch also bowed down!]

[They are all kowtowing to this black lotus!!]
