Chapter 1156: Descent Of The Battle Into The Abyss

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Rotary Turtle Grand Sage obstructed their path as Wang Lin and the Cang Heaven Blade frowned and turned to the side.

Their hearts sank as they saw what was going on over there. Ning Wan’ge wasn’t being attacked, but neither did she attack the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage.

She was alone inside the void with colorful lights flickering all around here. Even though it seemed messy and disorganized, her eyes were even more chaotic as her eyes no longer had a focal point and was filled with despondence and lostness.

Ever since the appearance of the Bifang Grand Sage and the projection of the Twelve Sages Heavenly Revolving Formation, there was something wrong about her and her perception of the demonic energy coming out from the formation and the waves of consciousness threw her mind off balance and into discord.

When the magic formation was in full operation, it made use of the principles of space and time as harnessed by four different demon tribes to channel the Mythical Time-Space Revolving Formation. The waves of power rippling toward Ning Wan’ge also reached a peak and even though she had already begun experiencing the tribulations, she was unable to maintain her stability of mind.

Ning Wan’ge was adept with illusory spells and the art of dreams. The strength of her soul and her mind was a lot stronger than other cultivators of her level; when she was trapped in the dream world conjured by Wang Lin, she only lost control at the very end. Whether she was inside the dream world or after her escape from it only to realize that she was in the hands of Wang Lin, she was still able to keep her cool.

However, her mana was in a state of disarray and she seemed like she had gone insane.

She had never had an experience such as this in the long years of her life.

And now, she was at the mercy of such an unfortunate circumstance, as if she had gone completely crazy.

However, this change dragged down Wang Lin and the Cang Heaven Blade at the same time.

It was obvious that Ning Wan’ge had lost all will and power to battle, but the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage didn’t take this chance to attack her and repelled a strike from the Cang Heaven Blade on behalf of the Bifang Grand Sage instead.

On the other side, Wang Lin was already injured. Even though the Zhujian Grand Sage stood in his way, he drew the entirety of the Zhujian Grand Sage’s attention and this created an opportunity for the Cang Heaven Blade. The only problem was that this opportunity was just negated by the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage and it meant the Turbid Wave Demonic Arrow he had just eaten was completely wasted.

The situation was dire and Wang Lin couldn’t bother to understand Ning Wan’ge’s sudden change.

Upon the defeat of the Yama Imperial Pavilion, the Ancient and Modern World and the Narakade Bridge and the moment he took a hit from the Turbid Wave Demonic Arrow, lights started to flash above his head as another door opened and the Real And Illusory World Spell was triggered.

Using the Real and Illusory World Spell was a decisive move that allowed Wang Lin to phase in between reality and the virtual world, and he used the spell to forcefully remove that fact that the Turbid Wave Demonic Arrow just pierced right through his arm.

The Zhujian Grand Sage had been locking horns with Wang Lin for quite a while now, and he knew that this white-haired youth was hard to predict and had a deep mastery of reality, the illusory world and of deception.

Therefore, even though the Zhujian Grand Sage was a little sluggish, his consciousness continued to work and the arrow that shot through Wang Lin’s arm started to transform.

The arrow formed by demonic energy immediately detonated and became a chaotic turbulence.

When Wang Lin casted the Real and Illusory World Spell, the body of the arrow began to transform at the same time – the arrow transformed from the current reality into another parallel reality.

The mana from Wang Lin’s Real and Illusory World Spell and the transformation in the demonic arrow of the Zhujian Grand Sage happened at practically the same moment. This caused the obscurity and ambiguity caused by the Real and Illusory World to be affected and limited its effectiveness.

The arrow vanished, but the demonic energies that exploded outward ripped right through Wang Lin’s arm and tore it apart.

Radiant light spiraled around the gaping wound and attempted to heal it, but it was too difficult.

Wang Lin’s current form was the human form of his immortal soul and not material flesh and blood, while the rotating lights over his wound was his very own Dao essence.

Wang Lin was injured by the Zhujian Grand Sage but he opened up his stride and no longer paid any attention to the Zhujian Grand Sage. Instead, he went straight for the Bifang Grand Sage in order to interrupt the channeling of the Mythical Time-Space Revolving Formation.

His expression was as cold as ever, but there was only determination and resilience in his eyes and it felt as if he was completely unaffected by his injuries.

He knew that he wasn’t going to let this injury go to waste.

Even though the Zhujian Grand Sage got to him, it took a great toll on the Zhujian Grand Sage’s energy and even if he wanted to stop Wang Lin he would be a beat slower in movement.

Wang Lin’s target remained true as he pounced straight for the Bifang Grand Sage and the Mythical Time-Space Rotating Formation that was spinning in the sky. Just as he said previously, this magic formation is but a projection of the real one and it wasn’t as secure as it should be – this meant that if it suffered a strike powerful enough, the projection would shatter into pieces.

On the other side, Wang Lin directed the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner as light started to spiral around it.

Xu Anda was the prisoner of the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner and his eyes closed into slits as he glared at Wang Lin. He had no choice but to change his target and lunged for the Bifang Grand Sage and the Mythical Time-Space Rotating Formation as well and completely ignored the assault from the Feiyi Grand Sage.

The Rotary Turtle Grand Sage grunted as he was prone in the void while voluminous numbers of red and black colored runes and glyphs glimmered above his patterned shell.

These runes sparkled together as they expanded in all directions explosively to form a giant dome of light, which felt as if it blanketed over everyone present. Firstly, it blocked off the venomous strike from the Cang Heaven Spell Blade, and then it blocked off Xu Anda’s attack before the dome itself was blown to smithereens.

Uncountable streaks of flowing black light and sword radiances smashed repeatedly upon the body of the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage as he retracted all his limbs and focused on protecting himself against the onslaught from two powerful cultivators.

He was a master of the principles of space, and his protective mechanisms were extremely powerful as well but he was battered and his small cracks started to appear on his turtle shell.

However, all it took was that single obstruction for the Feiyi Grand Sage’s strike to land upon Xu Anda’s body. The previous owner of the Hall of the Dead was instantly smacked down with a relatively heavy injury and this frustrated Xu Anda to the bottom of his heart.

Wang Lin himself continued on his path towards the Bifang Grand Sage and the Twelve Sages Heavenly Revolving Formation. However, a single arrow tore through the void to intercept Wang Lin – the Zhujian Grand Sage’s Turbid Wave Demonic Arrow.

When he crossed paths with the Celestial Sect of Wonders inside the Ancient Desolate Galaxy, using the arrow once sapped the entirety of the Zhujian Grand Sage’s energy. However, he was much more powerful compared to that time and even though he was quite frail and weak at this point, he still had enough in him to intercept Wang Lin.

Wang Lin was acutely aware that the Zhujian Grand Sage was gradually regenerating and he even fired another shot of the Turbid Wave Demonic Arrow, it wouldn’t affect his recovery process.

Wang Lin knew from the start of the battle that the Zhujian Grand Sage had become stronger. However, the rise in power of the Turbid Wave Demonic Arrow wasn’t obvious and it was only now that Wang Lin realized the Zhujian Grand Sage’s improvements over the years were in his regenerative abilities and the density of his foundations.

The explosive and aggressive powers of the Zhujian Grand Sage wasn’t that different from before, but his stamina in battle and his ability to keep up were a lot better.

If Wang Lin extrapolated his rate of recovery, he would realize that the Zhujian Grand Sage wouldn’t have much trouble battling Wang Lin as long as he took the ‘guerilla warfare’ approach, and the weakness in his body would fade not before long.

Ning Wan’ge’s situation was also giving Wang Lin a headache.

Lin Feng and Wang Lin had a theory that Ning Wan’ge was probably in touch with the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. However, neither Lin Feng or Wang Lin could ever guess that Ning Wan’ge would have such an enormous reaction the moment she came into contact with the energies and consciousness that originated from the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage.

This was an outcome so detrimental to their cause that Wang Lin’s battle was about to descend into the abyss.

The circumstance was precarious, but Wang Lin remained as calm as he could. A thought crossed his mind as the River of Forgetfulness and the Pearl of Styx, which were holding down the Tuo Kong Grand Sage, immediately released their iron grip.

The strange lights on the riverbed of grew solemn and tranquil, before they erupted from the surface after a miniscule moment and surged towards the Bifang Grand Sage with dazzling speed.

The River of Forgetfulness itself was deathly quiet even though the waters were flowing continuously. Following the sudden burst of light, the river waters spewed towards the Bifang Grand Sage as well.

The Mythical Time-Space Revolving Formation didn’t need much time to be operational, and that single obstruction gave it enough time to be fully functional.

Four thick light pillars were fused together to form an even larger light pillar that enveloped everybody within. This gargantuan pillar connected the skies to the earth, and acted like a tunnel as it sent everybody into the void in the outer regions of the Ying Sea.

The Tuo Kong Grand Sage radiated with golden light as his movements never stopped and he lunged ferociously at the Bifang Grand Sage.

Even though he was injured by the demonic arrow of the Zhujian Grand Sage, the fearsome aura displayed by the Tuo Kong Grand Sage was terrifying.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage was gone, and the Bifang Grand Sage remarked that the future of the Golden-Feathered Great Rocs was a real question that needed serious emphasis and consideration.

This was especially so for the most powerful demon after the Golden Roc Grand Sage from the tribe of Golden-Feathered Great Rocs – the Tuo Kong Grand Sage himself – and it was a question that he couldn’t escape.

The Tuo Kong Grand Sage was infuriated as he exploded and went straight for the most powerful individual under the command of the Golden Roc Grand Sage, the same person who ended up deserting him for the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage.

The Bifang Grand Sage howled into the sky as fiery red lights radiated all around her body. These lights weren’t real flames, but the redness of it all released a haze of fear and felt even hotter than if they were real fire.

The Mythical Time-Space Revolving Formation was already triggered and no longer needed her direction while the Bifang Grand Sage herself regained full autonomy and power.

She was originally a powerful demon in the third-level undying demon soul stage, and had reached the third-level undying demon soul stage before the Tuo Kong Grand Sage did. In normal days, she was countered by the natural and unrivaled speed of the Golden-Feathered Great Rocs and she wasn’t able to obtain much of an advantage. However, the Tuo Kong Grand Sage was heavily injured at this point and she was entirely unafraid of her opponent.

At the same time, she was now under the command of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage when facing the Tuo Kong Grand Sage in front of the Zhujian Grand Sage, the Feiyi Grand Sage and the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage, she wasn’t going to let them down.

However, the Zhujian Grand Sage could no longer bother about the Bifang Grand Sage and the Tuo Kong Grand Sage.

The magic formation had officially begun and Wang Lin gave up on his current target as tuned the entirety of his concentration onto the Zhujian Grand Sage.
