Chapter 654: Chapter 348 Don't Panic, We Have Experts in the Spiritual Realm_2
The masters of Yuling Mansion and Lord Leiyun had already thought to open the Divine Bridge, inviting a venerable descent, but opening the Divine Bridge is not something that could be done overnight.
It required a certain amount of time for preparation, and right now, the Heavenly Venerable was fighting a great battle with the enemy and had ordered the sealing of Ice State. If they were to rashly leave, they would offend this Heavenly Venerable, and without the backing of a Heavenly Venerable to support them, they might be in a terrible situation when the time came.
"Something's not right!"
Emperor Da Zhou's eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
He cast a sidelong glance at Wu Tianan and Xin Mengrou, noting their grave expressions and apparent readiness to retreat, which gave him a sinking feeling.
He then turned his gaze to Fu Tianhai, who also sensed that something was amiss at this time.
The Heavenly Venerable seemed as overwhelmingly powerful as ever, with each strike containing the might of Heaven and Earth, as if to suppress the Seductive Witch completely.
But it was vaguely visible that pink light seemed to have penetrated within the Heavenly Venerable's defenses.
Pink lotuses surrounded the Heavenly Venerable's attacks, continuously invading and sealing, restricting the Heavenly Venerable's paths of retreat, making it impossible for the Heavenly Venerable to escape.
"My dear prey, after consuming you, my strength will rise again."
The coquettish laugh of the Seductive Witch came through.
Boom!
The Heavenly Venerable struck with his spear, and his figure instantly swelled, with the power of the Domain Laws pouring forth. The battlefield stirred with wind and cloud, and a great spear traversed the sky, aiming at the encircling pink radiance.
Whoosh!
Lotus flowers swirled out in pink, twining along the spear like chains, seeking to lock it in place, while the Seductive Witch's slender form pressed closer.
Her pale hands reached back, plunging directly into the Heavenly Grotto, and from within, she extracted a pink pitchfork.
The pitchfork broke through the layers of defense and stabbed into the Heavenly Venerable, causing cracks to appear in his black armor.
"Flee quickly, and open the Divine Bridge, call upon the True King to descend to the Spiritual Realm and suppress the Seductive Witch's Heavenly Grotto!"
The Heavenly Venerable roared at this moment.
The Thousand Martial Lord and others were stunned.
The Heavenly Venerable was defeated by the Seductive Witch?
"Flee now!"
The Thousand Martial Lord was the first to turn and flee. His back was drenched in cold sweat—the Heavenly Venerable was actually no match!
It was too terrifying!
"The Spiritual Realm is doomed."
"Hurry to Hongzhou, the Divine Bridge is not yet closed, quickly call for reinforcements!"
"It's too late, judging by the time, the Divine Bridge has already closed!"
"Yuling Mansion and Leiyun Mountain Manor, open the Divine Bridge quickly, invite the Venerable to descend!"
"It's too late, it can't be opened overnight!"
A group of mighty individuals panicked, fleeing desperately.
"Prey, you cannot escape from my Seductive Witch's hunting ground."
The voice of the Seductive Witch echoed from afar.
In that instant, all the mighty ones broke into a cold sweat.
"What do we do? What do we do? The Spiritual Realm is likely finished; we can only wait for the Divine Bridge to be opened and for the Heavenly Venerables to descend to resolve this crisis!"
"By the time the Divine Bridge is opened, we'll all be dead!"
"To the Inner Domain!"
"Yes, to the Inner Domain!"
Some of the strong ones suggested in panic.
"The Inner Domain... we can't go, the gate to the Spiritual Realm has disappeared!"
The Thousand Martial Lord lamented.
"What?"
All the strong ones were greatly alarmed—could the disappearance of the Spiritual Realm Gate be related to the appearance of the Heavenly Grotto?
"Escape as long as we can."
Emperor Da Zhou lamented.
"Everyone, don't panic, our Spiritual Realm has experts in hiding!"
Wu Tianan suddenly spoke in a heavy voice.
"Experts?"
"Where are these experts?"
Everyone was taken aback.
"Yes, experts, peerless experts. Our Spiritual Realm has hidden experts. Only by asking these experts to act can our Spiritual Realm be saved from this devastating calamity."
Xin Mengrou's eyes also shone brightly as she spoke.
How could they have forgotten that senior?
Emperor Da Zhou and others felt reassured. If even Xin Mengrou said so, then surely, it must be an unimaginably powerful expert, right?
But deep down, they weren't entirely confident.
"Can experts compare to the Heavenly Venerable? Even the Heavenly Venerable has perished. Moreover, after the Seductive Witch consumes the Heavenly Venerable, her strength will become even greater!"
The Thousand Martial Lord said with little confidence.
"He is a true peerless expert, how could he be compared to a Heavenly Venerable?"
Wu Tianan, however, spoke with confidence.
That senior, he is an existence that transcends Heaven and Earth. Can a Heavenly Venerable transcend Heaven and Earth?
"Where is this expert?"
The Lord of Yuling Mansion asked anxiously.
"Evergreen Pavilion!"
Wu Tianan and Xin Mengrou responded simultaneously.
...
The Evergreen Pavilion's Flying Boat had already reached Yun State. Looking down from above, the vast Yun State was reduced to only mountain peaks poking out of the water while the cities had long disappeared.
"There's something strange about these waters."
Su Lingxiu frowned slightly as she spoke.
"The erosion of a special aura. Just cut off the source and everything will go back to normal."
Xu Yan pondered for a moment before speaking.
The source lay within the Heavenly Grotto in Ice State.
Li Xuan was holding the Book of Taicang in his hands, having reached the thirteenth page.
As his cultivation level increased, so too did the speed at which he memorized the Dao Principles.
Suddenly.
The Daoist Golden Book opened, and golden light surged forth.
"Great Wilderness Warriors breakthrough reaches ten million; you have obtained the Great Wilderness Physiognomy!"
The number of warriors cultivating the Great Wilderness Martial Arts in the Inner Domain had broken through ten million!
The speed was incredibly fast.
Moreover, as the number of Great Wilderness Warriors continued to grow, the rate of increase would accelerate even more.
"This Great Wilderness Physiognomy is quite impressive!"
Li Xuan felt elated within. The Great Wilderness Physiognomy would grow increasingly powerful and vast as the number of warriors increased.
"The Great Wilderness is like the beginning of the domain, a vision of Chaos first opening..."
Once the Great Wilderness Physiognomy was deployed, the image of an unparalleled expert would become even more awe-inspiring, making people look up to it as unfathomable.
"Not bad. Combined with the mysterious aura, even a martial artist stronger than me would feel their legs go weak at the sight," Li Xuan muttered to himself.
Great Wilderness Physiognomy + mysterious aura would scare even those who were more powerful than himself into submission!
"Who knows what's really happening at the Heavenly Grotto in Ice State. I hope it won't require me to suppress everything by hand," Li Xuan looked towards Ice State, his thoughts deepening.
"That Heavenly Venerable has already gone to Ice State. I wonder how the situation is now and whether the problem can be resolved."
The warrior that the Thousand Martial Hall had invited should have decent strength. With the might of the Domain, he should be able to suppress the Heavenly Grotto, right?
The Evergreen Pavilion's Flying Boat continued towards Ice State at a moderate speed.
Swish!
Two figures rushed through the sky in haste.
Fang Hao and Moon Changming.
"Junior brother, what's the situation?" Su Lingxiu asked curiously.
"Things are dire!" Fang Hao said with a grave expression, "A gigantic cavern has appeared in Ice State, and the cavern seems a bit peculiar, as if it's a hole that has formed between heaven and earth.
"Inside the Heavenly Grotto, there's a powerful woman called the Seductive Witch, who actually devours divine souls, seemingly preying on the divine souls of martial artists.
"Her strength is immense. Even when senior martial artists like Wu joined hands, they were no match. I used a Great Formation to catch her by surprise and managed to restrain her for a moment, but she quickly escaped and gave chase.
"However, right now, that Heavenly Venerable is engaged in battle with the Seductive Witch. I'm not sure what the outcome will be."
Fang Hao recounted the events in detail.
All present were shocked.
Feeding on divine souls?
"What kind of sorceress is this? The Spiritual Realm has actually produced such a bizarre person," Xu Yan expressed his astonishment.
Then, eager to face her, he declared, "Allow me to meet her myself!"
Fang Hao shook his head with a serious expression, "Big brother, even if our fellow disciples joined forces, we would be no match for her. I have a feeling that the Heavenly Venerable might be defeated!
"Moreover, once she devours the Heavenly Venerable, her power might grow even stronger!
"That Heavenly Grotto is very special, and it's unclear what its emergence truly signifies."
Xu Yan and the others turned to look at their master.
Li Xuan remained unperturbed, focusing on the Book of Taicang in his hands, seemingly indifferent to the Heavenly Grotto in Ice State and the mysterious Seductive Witch.
In reality, he was somewhat astonished, "Devouring divine souls? The Heavenly Venerable is no match? If he is defeated, who in the entire Spiritual Realm could be her opponent?
"Ultimately, I suppose I will have to take action. What if the Seductive Witch's strength is beyond imagination? Wouldn't that pose some danger?"
Li Xuan reassessed his own strength once again, contemplating how many Heavenly Venerables he could handle on his own.
"With my cultivation level at the Physiognomy Realm, the Great Sun Stellar Indestructible Body, various divine skills, the Great Wilderness Physiognomy, the true form of the Primeval Ancestor... One against a hundred Heavenly Venerables wouldn't be a problem.
"Considering this, the Heavenly Venerable should be capable of fighting her for a while even if he gets devoured and her power increases. It looks like I could still suppress her.
"However, does the Heavenly Grotto hold even stronger enemies?
"I must be cautious. I can't afford to capsize in the gutter."
Li Xuan felt somewhat helpless inside, as he had wanted to lay low and avoid taking action if possible. Now, it appeared it was time for him to step in once again!
Fortunately, his strength was sufficiently formidable.
