Chapter 644: 602 Convergence II
"What is this...!?"
Several people looked at each other, suddenly feeling a bad premonition rise.
"The Rongjing Golden Ears Array!?" The oldest elder’s eyes were solemn. "This was the top-level killing array exclusive to the Sensing Sect!"
"When was it deployed!? Why haven’t we received the slightest hint!?"
"Can Lord Shengwu... manage it?"
Suddenly, a heaviness settled in their hearts, and what should have been a certain situation now brought a bit of doubt.
At this moment, within Lingxiao Hall.
A soft golden light covered all of the walls and the floor, protecting everything from damage.
The Shengwu Golden Bell was surprised at the faint golden lines drifting and emerging in the surrounding air.
These golden lines flickered in midair, weaving into dense, various characters, patterns, and figures.
"You were prepared all along?" She reached out, attempting to touch the golden words floating beside her.
But merely the act of raising her hand consumed several times more energy than usual.
"Since I took over the Jade Void Palace, I have understood that this place is far from ownerless." Jin Yuyan’s face was calm, with a golden line shining brightly on her brow.
She stepped closer to Jinling.
"And ever since Yue Dewen defeated me in one move last time, I have been pondering deeply how to further enhance my current strength."
"Did you succeed? After the Descent of God, logically, your power should have reached its limit, with no further progress possible." Jinling asked with keen interest.
She seemed completely at ease, even having spare time to distinguish the content of the floating text.
"I am just a step away from entering the Extreme Realm." Jin Yuyan said, "Do you understand what this means?"
"What does it mean?" Jinling raised an eyebrow.
"The Extreme Realm represents the ultimate of human will and spirit, the pinnacle belonging to mankind.
And I am just a step away. By performing another Descent of God, it means...." Jin Yuyan paused.
"Without considering the gathering of momentum."
"I am the strongest Spirit General!!!"
Suddenly, she raised her fair hand, and her silhouette bolted toward Jinling like lightning.
’Final Style: Celestial Emperor!!!’
In a trance, countless golden-lit cloud palaces and towers seemed to appear behind Jin Yuyan.
At the center of countless palace groups, a huge emperor radiating golden light with a rising halo slowly took physical form.
The emperor reached out, his palm expanding rapidly from afar to near, until it occupied Jinling’s entire field of vision, as if the whole world was completely filled by that great hand, pressing down with a roar.
Only then did she awaken from her daze, attempting to retreat.
But it was already too late.
The golden hand and Jin Yuyan’s snow-white fair hand overlapped simultaneously, like a shooting star, heavily landing on Jinling’s chest.
BOOM!!!
The entire Lingxiao Hall reverberated with the sound of a massive explosion.
Jinling stood there, her body trembling violently as if bearing an unbearable colossal force.
CRACK!!
In an instant, her whole body exploded into numerous black spiritual lines, scattering in all directions.
But soon, all the black lines reformed in another position, revealing Jinling’s current body.
The blue light in her eyes dimmed slightly, evidently showing she was truly injured.
"Impressive! Just with this move, you’ve reached the power of Yue Dewen before gathering momentum." She lightly clapped in admiration.
"A supreme array paired with the grandmaster’s ultimate attack of mind and spirit. Your will indeed can be called the pinnacle of human achievement.
Combined with the oppressive might of the Celestial Venerable, the power is truly terrifying." Jinling sighed.
"It seems the Golden Rainbow has indeed created a great toy."
"Toy?" Jin Yuyan’s beautiful eyes turned cold, "Who do you think you are!?"
Her figure flickered. After initiating the Final Style, she not only did not use spiritual lines to create armor to protect herself but instead fused them completely into the Celestial Emperor’s phantom behind her.
Under the reinforced coverage of the array, her originally silver spiritual lines had entirely transformed into pure gold.
In an instant, Jin Yuyan struck Jinling with her palms in rapid succession.
Every exchange between the two women made the entire Lingxiao Hall tremble and shake.
Jinling retreating continuously, yet the smile in her eyes grew more profound.
She once saw Yue Dewen before he became National Master; at that time, he was only about as strong as this.
Unexpectedly, after Jin Yuyan’s devastating defeat and injury last time, she could still make such great progress.
Even if much was aided by external forces, strength is strength, and the victor becomes the king. No other justification is needed.
BANG!
Another loud sound.
The two simultaneously unleashed their full force in a palm strike.
The golden Celestial Emperor reached down from above, clapping towards Jinling’s head.
But it was stopped by a sudden appearance of a blue vortex above her.
Their clash emitted the sound of metal colliding.
"Time is up." Jinling smiled slightly. "The game ends now."
"Game??" Jin Yuyan’s heart tightened, suddenly feeling a wave of dread.
"Final Style." Jinling’s body began to expand rapidly.
Three meters.
Five meters.
Seven meters!!
Her upper body sprouted two additional pairs of arms and two heads.
Each of its six arms held silver-blue spikes of light.
Blinding blue light blossomed explosively from its hands.
A pure divinity akin to gods spread alongside the blue light.
No emotions, high above, looking down upon all living beings equally, like a statue of god.
"Reincarnate."
The sound made by the three heads simultaneously, and Shengwu Golden Bell swung its arms simultaneously.
Six blue electric beams shot out from the hand, emitting crackling thunderous sounds.
The speed of the blue electric beams was terrifying, as fast as light.
In an instant, it struck Yu Yan.
Yu Yan was reaching out with her hand, her right arm pulling back the Celestial Emperor golden statue behind her, grabbing at Shengwu Golden Bell.
But compared to the speed of light, she was far too slow.
Crack....
In an instant, all parts of her body exposed to the light changed color, turned gray, and petrified into stone-like material.
"Descent....!" The Celestial Emperor golden statue behind Yu Yan suddenly radiated profusely.
She tried to perform the Great Descent of the Divine, but.... everything was a step too late.
In the blink of an eye, petrification covered her entire body, engulfed her chest, neck, head, and even all her clothing were entirely transformed into stone.
"The Descent is useless." Shengwu Golden Bell smiled, "Gods have their wars. And we.... decide for ourselves."
She looked at the thoroughly petrified Yu Yan, with the blue light on her body shining brightly again.
Instantly, the entire Lingxiao Hall, starting from her feet, rapidly spread petrification outwards.
In a flash, the entire grand hall turned into a dark gray.
"It’s over." Shengwu Golden Bell withdrew the final move, returned to her original form, and gently touched Yu Yan’s cheek.
"Next, wait until the few other places are finished. Everything will return to the starting point."

Taoyuan.
Amidst the mist.
Zhang Rongfang heightened his vigilance, watching the mysterious figure slowly approaching.
In the mist to the left, the outline of the figure could vaguely be seen.
About two meters tall, slender, with hair hanging down to the waist.
Soon, when the distance between them was five meters, the person stopped.
Zhang Rongfang has night vision, allowing him to see the other from this distance.
The other also seemed to have enhanced perception, aware of Zhang Rongfang’s location.
"No living person has come here for many years." The voice was very hoarse but still recognizable as male, using the Great Spirit language, albeit in an older style.
"Who are you?" Zhang Rongfang asked again.
"I am..." the other answered.
But at the critical point of the name, suddenly there was no sound.
"I can’t hear you." Zhang Rongfang frowned.
"Yes, you really can’t hear." The other smiled, "Everyone that comes here can’t hear. We are at the forgotten edge, unable to say our names externally."
Zhang Rongfang was silent for a moment. This person seemed quite familiar with the place nearby.
"How long have you been here?" he asked.
"Can’t remember. There’s no day or night here. It’s impossible to tell time." the other replied.
"Why don’t you leave?" Zhang Rongfang inquired.
"No one remembers me, so I can’t leave." the man answered.
"Then as another question.... what’s below here?" Zhang Rongfang asked again.
"Haven’t you been there? Whatever you saw, that’s what it is." The other replied indifferently.
"You’ve never been?" Zhang Rongfang asked.
"I climbed up from below. What do you think?" The man smiled, tugging at his long hair.
"Do you have any food? Can you spare me some?"
Zhang Rongfang found a bottle of Fasting Pill on his body and tossed it over.
"Eat it if you’re not afraid."
"Heh, what is there to fear, I’ve already rushed out of the Sea of Oblivion below, there’s nothing to fear." He opened the stopper, poured out a pill, and sniffed it.
"Good stuff! All top-quality medicinal herbs! Tsk tsk...." After taking a Fasting Pill, he carefully tied the bottle with his hair and hid it in his clothing.
"What’s in the Sea of Oblivion?" Zhang Rongfang asked again.
"What’s in the Sea of Oblivion? Forgotten ones. Countless forgotten ones fall down.
Most of them are decomposed and digested by the Sea of Oblivion, becoming part of it. The rare gods and deities stay silent, perhaps after hundreds or thousands of years, even longer, they too will be slowly digested."
Zhang Rongfang had countless questions in his mind, but at this moment, he quickly organized them, pulling the one he most wanted to ask to the forefront.
"I’m looking for a deity named Spirit Flying Heaven. Do you know its location?" he asked directly.
"Spirit Flying Heaven?" The man’s movements halted. "You should move upward. The stronger the living gods, the higher their position."
He simply introduced.
"This is Taoyuan, the root of all memory and oblivion. Here, going downward is easy, but going upward is increasingly difficult. In total, there are nine heavenly layers. At the bottom is the Sea of Oblivion, and as you go upward, each breakthrough in boundaries represents the essence of your mind reaching a new level."
"The Spirit Flying Heaven you mentioned is the strongest God Lord of the Spirit Flying Church, so strong that it has surpassed the level of God Lord, so at least its strength is beyond the fifth layer."
"That level of strength means if you find it, you also can reach the same level.
It implies that you wouldn’t be much weaker than it. Do you think a ninth-layer person like you can achieve that?"
