298: Leading you into a trap

The Golden-Winged Roc was instantly enraged.

It let out a deafening roar that shattered eardrums and charged straight at Chen Tianming.

A terrifying burst of spiritual power erupted instantly.

Its wings were plated with layers of golden light; wherever it passed, clouds were sliced apart and space trembled, a sight that sent shivers down one's spine.

However, just as the Golden-Winged Roc was about to slam into Chen Tianming, Chen Tianming suddenly gave the golden rope in his hand a flick.

The Roc was sent flying like a meteor hammer, its spiritual power instantly scattered.

A golden ripple of light shot up into the sky.

The overbearing spiritual power swept across all directions.

The cultivators present, though standing far away, still had their beards fluttering from the intense spiritual pressure.

However, with a mere thought, they forcibly manifested hard shields in front of them.

The golden spiritual energy dissipated and crashed against the immortals' shields, scattering golden fragments everywhere.

At this moment, the Golden-Winged Roc roared in utter astonishment.

"Why! What kind of magical artifact are you holding that can actually scatter all my spiritual energy!"

Chen Tianming retracted his hand.

"This is the Immortal-Binding Rope. As long as I infuse it with spiritual energy, it can launch an attack targeting your meridians, leaving your entire body weak and powerless!"

"However, this low-level treasure is theoretically only useful for cultivators below the Void Refining Realm when fighting each other. I didn't expect it to actually work on a great cultivator like you, who has already entered the True Immortal Realm. I can only say that your mastery of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is not complete!"

Chen Tianming's condescending attitude only made the Golden-Winged Roc even angrier.

It shrieked violently and gathered all the shattered spiritual energy back into its body, clearly preparing a massive attack.

And this time, the Golden-Winged Roc used every bit of the Great Dao it had comprehended.

It wasn't that Chen Tianming couldn't defeat his opponent.

It was just that there were too many people watching.

Even if he and the Golden-Winged Roc were to both suffer, many cultivators would surely come to pick up the scraps in the end.

Chen Tianming immediately waved his hand and summoned a black cloud from the sky.

Stepping onto the cloud, he quickly flew away to escape.

The Golden-Winged Roc immediately gave chase.

The two of them fell back into a state of chasing and racing side by side.

But this was a small world.

Chen Tianming knew the environment here like the back of his hand.

Whenever the Golden-Winged Roc caught up, Chen Tianming would immediately shake it off.

After a few times back and forth, the Golden-Winged Roc lost sight of Chen Tianming.

It began to spread its divine sense within the small world to search for him.

However, Chen Tianming's mental power had been strengthened by the system, and his realm had long since reached the terrifying level of an Indestructible Golden Immortal.

Furthermore, after taking the Carefree Pill, Chen Tianming could adjust his realm at will.

His current mental power was far stronger than that of the Golden-Winged Roc.

When the divine sense enveloped him, it felt like nothing more than an itch on Chen Tianming's body.

And because of the disparity in mental power, the Golden-Winged Roc couldn't scan Chen Tianming at all.

In the Golden-Winged Roc's sea of consciousness, Chen Tianming appeared to be nothing more than a rock or a pine tree, no different from the surrounding scenery.

The Golden-Winged Roc assumed Chen Tianming had already escaped through the Southern Heavenly Gate.

Thus, it began to dash toward the Southern Heavenly Gate.

Little did it know that Chen Tianming had already projected a primordial spirit avatar outside the Southern Heavenly Gate.

The phantom flashed, forming an appearance completely different from Chen Tianming's true form.

It approached Yin Mo Na with a sanctimonious air.

"Grandmaster! It seems the Golden-Winged Roc is unable to defeat that Daoist Tianming. He's not even as good as a rogue cultivator. Your martial nephew's strength is quite mediocre. How about we take this opportunity to charge in and reap the benefits?"

The Grandmaster immediately clapped his hands.

"Excellent, excellent!"

The reason he had defected and become independent was that he did not want to have any more connection with the Qingtian Sect.

He reached out to fly into the sky, and a lotus flower flew out from his sleeve.

The Grandmaster landed on the lotus flower, sat down slowly, and soon flew to the edge of the Southern Heavenly Gate.

But as luck would have it, the Golden-Winged Roc happened to return just then.

The two generations of master and disciple locked eyes, and the Golden-Winged Roc felt guilty.

If not for Chen Tianming's interference, he wouldn't have wasted all his spiritual energy, forcing him to re-absorb it now, which had caused his strength to drop by ten percent.

Now, even if he had the strength to fight the Grandmaster, the probability of losing was just too high.

Seeing his martial uncle arrive at this moment, his eyes lighting up the moment he saw him, there was no need to think; he was clearly here to pick up the scraps.

The Golden-Winged Roc immediately turned around, soared upward, and fled, abandoning all pretense of dignity.

Yin Mo Na followed closely behind.

At this moment, the avatar projected by Chen Tianming shouted loudly.

"Fellow Daoists! I fear those two master and disciple are about to clash again. Furthermore, today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; they will surely fight to determine a winner! Why don't we take this chance to rush up and reap the benefits?"

As soon as he finished speaking, over a dozen clouds flew down from the sky.

It was clear that a dozen people had reacted and were chasing after them, ready to reap the benefits.

With someone leading the way, those behind became much bolder.

Without needing Chen Tianming's avatar to continue stirring the pot, a huge crowd of cultivators swarmed forward densely.

Soon, they had all entered the small world.

At this moment, the avatar Chen Tianming had projected outside the small world felt the gaze of many eyes.

Although there was no hostility, through his extended perception, he could use the system to identify how many powerful protagonists existed within the crowd.

Just among those who had ascended from mortals, Chen Tianming saw four.

There were also demonic beasts that had cultivated into human form.

There was even a turtle!

Chen Tianming sensed the aura of these various protagonists, and at the same time, mentally categorized and ranked them all.

Recalling his primordial spirit avatar, Chen Tianming began to enter a state of meditation within the small world.

The Qilin bloodline held an innate advantage.

Chen Tianming could control all the spiritual energy of the entire small world.

By now, the small world had already merged with the origin world.

Amidst the blending of spiritual energies, Chen Tianming's power had increased once again.

Under Chen Tianming's control, a transparent seal began to gradually condense around the periphery of the small world.

At this moment, the cultivators who had entered the small world had not yet realized that the seal had changed from blocking entry from the outside to blocking exit from the inside.

They could not get out!

Instead, after rushing into the small world, many people began to feel confused.

The Golden-Winged Roc was locked in a great battle with the Grandmaster Yin Mo Na.

The Buddhist hand seals of the two constantly intersected in the sky, exploding with a roar.

While shaking the heavens and earth, it also caused many people to abandon the idea of picking up scraps.

Rather than waiting for other cultivators to drop loot, it was better to go and search for treasures nearby themselves.

They immediately dispersed and began searching for opportunities within the small world.

Inside the small world, layer upon layer of divine sense fluctuations immediately appeared.

Chen Tianming locked onto one of them.

Holding the Xuanyuan Sword, he stealthily approached the person from behind.
