Chapter 569: Chapter 387: Vast Mist! Immortal Venerable Face-to-Face! (Part 2)
He holds his head high compared to such entities.
"Could it be that I expect you to defeat the Immortal Venerable?"
Elder Hu’s voice arrived with disdain.
"Although you possess commendable talents in the path of arrays, in other aspects you are merely average; how could you compare to the Immortal Venerable?"
"It must be known that the Immortal Venerable is also a legendary Alchemist and Talisman Master, having ascended to the pinnacle of both Alchemy Dao and Talisman Dao."
"Even if my master were at your stage of cultivation, he definitely wouldn’t be a match for him."
"I ask you to hold out for a while longer, perhaps it may lead to an opportunity..."
During the conversation.
A pristine hand tore through the Triple Array.
A youth clad in white walked nonchalantly before Zhong Heng.
Zhong Heng’s pupils contracted, and several talismans and artifacts were unleashed from him, all of which were the masterpieces of the Celestial Rainbow Alliance’s Artifact Refining Masters and Alchemy Masters, enough to serve as the ace for any Nascent Soul Cultivator.
However, these meant nothing before the youth in white.
Zhong Heng merely felt a whirlwind, then he was sent flying backward.
Zhong Heng barely adjusted his breath and steadied his form.
"Is this the true Celestial Pride... terrifying to the extreme..."
Zhong Heng’s heart sank slightly.
Any pride he had in wielding the River Map Illusion and overseeing the Celestial Rainbow was thoroughly quashed.
Zhong Heng waved his hand.
The array originally shattered by the youth in white turned into light spots and astonishingly recomposed beside him.
"Come, I want to see just how strong you really are!"
The array rotated layer by layer.
It surprisingly withstood the youth’s attacks time and again.
Though every defense was passive.
But the shock from the first array breach.
Zhong Heng seemed to have some peculiar insights during the battle.
The array’s defense vastly strengthened.
The three-layered array rotated continuously, astonishingly deflecting the youth’s divine techniques again and again.
If anyone here knew the background of both sides, they would certainly marvel at Zhong Heng’s array skills.
Yet regrettably...
No matter how long he lasted, Zhong Heng was inevitably heading towards defeat.
"Forget it."
"I shall intervene."
"Though the opponent’s means are arranged by Immortal Venerable Huihuang, their essence remains the Vast Mist, aiming to take your life."
"But by vanquishing him, you could gain gifts from the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm."
Filaments of Qi of the Five Elements appeared around Zhong Heng.
Yet in the next second.
The youth in white abruptly turned.
With one hand, he astonishingly grasped a Bladeless Longsword.
A familiar figure clad in Sword Qi Light Armor appeared.
It was Yunmiao!
The youth in white showed a hint of expression on his face, seemingly finding the opponent interesting.
His fair palm thus gripped the sword body of the Bladeless Longsword.
"Hmm? This little girl is quite intriguing."
"She managed to swiftly defeat the self-illusion fabricated by the Vast Mist..."
The Qi of the Five Elements around Zhong Heng withdrew, and in his mind echoed Elder Hu’s voice.
"If you join forces with someone to defeat him, you might receive even more..."
"But... that seems unlikely..."
As Elder Hu’s words fell.
In the next instant, Zhong Heng’s view was overwhelmed by ferocious and sharp Sword Qi.
A hint of irritation appeared on Yunmiao’s face, yet she was more overwhelmed by excitement.
"No one has ever managed to withstand my strike like this."
"Ha ha ha! Good, again!"
The Sword Qi Light Armor on Yunmiao began to violently exhale and swallow vast Sword Qi like the boundless sea.
In an instant, the Sword Qi seemed to flood the whole sky like a tsunami.
The Sword Qi lacked the extraordinary sharpness typical of ordinary Sword Cultivators.
Its essence was no less than the strongest Sword Qi slashed by mighty Sword Cultivators, yet what impressed was the vitality of this sea of Sword Qi.
Dense to the extreme!
Yet this sea of Sword Qi was halted three inches before the youth in white.
Yunmiao rotated her longsword.
The palm of the youth in white was astonishingly grazed to leave a trace of blood.
The youth in white showed not anger but delight, interest flickering in his eyes.
"Yunmiao, she..."
"Is actually so strong..."
Zhong Heng muttered.
He knew Yunmiao was incredibly formidable, previously in a stalemated battle with Zhu Xing.
Yet Zhong Heng had battled Zhu Xing.
With the Five Elements Sacred Beast Array, he could defeat Zhu Xing, and his awe for Yunmiao considerably waned.
But now it seems that Yunmiao is clearly hiding something!
Zhong Heng’s mouth slightly opened, his Divine Sense forming lines, conveying everything he knew about the replicated figure of Immortal Venerable Huihuang in front of them to Yunmiao.
Originally, Zhong Heng thought Yunmiao would be shocked.
However, after Yunmiao heard the news, her eyes showed even more battle intent and excitement.
"Hahaha, good!"
"Immortal Venerable? Junior Yunmiao, please instruct me, Immortal Venerable!"
The Sword Qi Light Armor crashed to the ground, the earth rumbling like an earthquake.
Yunmiao’s aura surged once more.
Yunmiao had actually been suppressing her own cultivation all this time!
At this moment, even though Yunmiao was still at the Early-Stage Nascent Soul, even a Mid-Stage Nascent Soul expert would not be her match.
Zhong Heng swallowed several restorative pills and stepped forward again.
"Array of Ten Thousand Transformations!"
"Five Elements Sacred Beast Array!"
The two arrays were rearranged.
But now they mainly served to assist Yunmiao.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
"You two, what trouble have you gotten into again?"
The sound of coughing echoed.
Zhong Heng was somewhat astonished; Zhu Xing had also arrived here!
It was expected by Zhong Heng that Yunmiao could overcome her own shadow.
After all, back when he first used the River Map to analyze Yunmiao, Zhong Heng saw something special.
But Zhu Xing?
Zhu Xing’s expression was complicated, but his face was mostly pale.
"My Celestial Secret Skill told me there was a fleeting opportunity waiting for me..."
"So I spared no expense to exhaust my life force to break through the shadow..."
"No, you two chose to battle at this time..."
Zhu Xing’s face grew extremely pale.
Yet the next second, a pill was fed into Zhu Xing’s mouth.
A hand grasped Zhu Xing’s shoulder.
An array opened once more.
Heaven and Earth Three Talents Array!
Zhu Xing was forcibly pulled into the array.
"Huh?"
The next second, the pressure on Yunmiao suddenly reduced, shared by Zhong Heng and Zhu Xing.
"Ah!!"
Zhu Xing spat blood, finally understanding what pressure Yunmiao had been bearing.
Zhu Xing quickly swallowed several more pills to stabilize his aura.
He looked somewhat pale at the white-clothed youth, hearing Zhong Heng’s brief introduction.
He glanced at Yunmiao again, feeling a bit of lingering fear; fortunately, he had always treated Yunmiao courteously.
Now, with the three joining forces, the Heaven and Earth Three Talents Array properly formed.
The majority of the power from the Three Paths array was transmitted to Yunmiao.
This gave Yunmiao enough resources to confront Immortal Venerable Huihuang.
One wielded a sword, a long skirt like water swirling fiercely in the wind.
One in white robes, hands forming continuous divine seals.
The surrounding black mist was all dispersed.
Yet within the black mist, dark energy surged in.
It seemed that Vast Mist sensed the cooperation of the three.
Now trying to imbue power into Immortal Venerable Huihuang, enhancing the Immortal Venerable’s cultivation.
Or perhaps summoning the youth shadow of Immortal Venerable Huihuang at the Mid-Late Nascent Soul cultivation.
Yet the white-clothed youth flipped his hand, surprisingly suppressing the black mist.
"This seat is unrivaled in the world, how can I coerce others with force?"
"You, very good!"
Clearly Vast Mist transformed into the shadow of Immortal Venerable Huihuang.
Even replicating a strand of Divine Sense from Immortal Venerable Huihuang in this world to create this incarnation.
Yet Immortal Venerable Huihuang surprisingly suppressed Vast Mist!
Yunmiao’s blue dress gradually tattered, revealing the inner armor beneath.
Yunmiao’s eyes shone ever brighter.
The Sword Intent from her body soared to the sky, seemingly resonating with heaven and earth.
Zhong Heng controlled the arrays with full concentration, assisting Yunmiao along with Zhu Xing.
At this moment, he suddenly looked at Yunmiao.
The ability of the River Map’s analysis was deployed.
At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to pause, Yunmiao’s figure transformed into countless black and white threads.
Zhong Heng saw through each individual black and white thread.
The black and white threads dissipated, revealing the hidden thing within...
A longsword, the blade rusted.
On the edge of the blade were traces of blackened blood.
"What is that..."
