Chapter 219: My Master is Definitely Stronger than Your Master!
Chapter 219: My Master is Definitely Stronger than Your Master!
After Li Ya disappeared, Zhang Biku panicked. He took to the skies, and from high above, the temple seemed boundless. Countless interconnected courtyards stretched as far as the eye could see, dizzying in their expanse. He scanned the area but couldn't spot Li Ya anywhere.
Not only was Li Ya missing, but he couldn't see any living creature at all!
He was truly alarmed now and began flying around in search of Li Ya.
"Brother Li!" he called out loudly, but his voice echoed back to him with no response.
The eerie and chilling feeling intensified, making him sense that danger was drawing near.
No matter where he flew, he saw no one, nor could he find any clues as to what was happening. Gradually, he even began to feel that he was passing through the same courtyards again and again, and his consciousness started to blur.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, he slowly descended into one of the courtyards.
The world spun around him, and his eyelids felt heavy.
Zhang Biku struggled against the overwhelming sensation, kneeling on the ground with his hands supporting him as he felt on the verge of passing out.
"Damn... no... I can't collapse here..."
Zhang Biku struggled to maintain his last shred of consciousness.
He vaguely heard footsteps approaching from the side and forced himself to turn his head, catching sight of a blurred figure—an old monk wearing a kasaya.
The old monk squatted down in front of him, and before Zhang Biku could see his face, he only saw the monk's hands—thin and bony, like a pair of ghostly claws, with long fingernails.
Those hands seemed to taunt Zhang Biku, evoking an instinctive fear within him.
A faint chirping sound came from a distance, causing him to daze as he felt he had heard that sound somewhere before.
The old monk beside him stood up and turned toward the sound, his body trembling as if scolding something.
Suddenly, the old monk's figure vanished, and Zhang Biku felt something land on his shoulder.
His consciousness cleared instantly, and the world before his eyes stabilized, no longer shaking.
Once he was fully alert, he quickly stood up and turned to see a sparrow perched on his shoulder.
"It's you!" Zhang Biku exclaimed in surprise. This was the same sparrow that had led him to the cave where he obtained the demonic pellet, and he would never forget it.
His first instinct was to grab the sparrow, but it suddenly flew away and perched on the wall, chirping incessantly.
Zhang Biku couldn't understand what it was saying, but he saw the sparrow turning its head, and he immediately understood. He followed the sparrow's gaze and walked in that direction.
The sparrow took flight, and Zhang Biku hurried after it.
After a while, the sparrow landed on a stone statue in a courtyard. As Zhang Biku approached, he was astonished to see that the face of the statue resembled Li Ya.
The body of the statue was that of a Buddha, draped in a kasaya, but with Li Ya's features, creating a strange juxtaposition.
Zhang Biku began calling out to Li Ya, but no matter how much he shouted, there was no response.
Gu An, transformed into a sparrow, sighed inwardly as he watched Zhang Biku.
This young man had a good physique and cultivation, but his spiritual sense lagged, and he needed more training.
Gu An, in the form of the sparrow, took flight and began repeatedly ramming into the stone statue of Li Ya, guiding Zhang Biku.
Understanding his intent, Zhang Biku pushed the statue over, but nothing happened.
Gu An landed on the statue's head and pecked at its face with his beak, then looked up at Zhang Biku.
"I understand! Get out of the way!" Zhang Biku walked to the side and said in a low voice, and Gu An immediately flew away.
Without hesitation, Zhang Biku swung his fist and smashed the statue's head to pieces.
Rumble!
The ground trembled, and spatial fluctuations appeared above the temple, displaying various colors. Soon, blood-red spots of light appeared, quickly replacing the clear sky.
In less than three breaths, the temple was enveloped in a night of blood, a terrifying and chilling sight.
Zhang Biku focused his gaze and saw that the stone statues had all turned into white bones, their appearances hideous and frightening.
He leaped into the air, and from his vantage point, he noticed that the once infinite temple had shrunk to a mere hundred zhang in diameter. In front of a cluster of temples, Li Ya was tied to an old tree. A ghostly claw covered his mouth, and a ghostly hand pressed against his chest, preventing him from escaping.
The arms of these ghostly hands extended behind the tree, hinting at the terrifying true form of their owner.
"Brother Li!" Zhang Biku roared in anger and leaped forward, a stone axe appearing in his hand. Just as he flew into the courtyard, the temple door suddenly opened.
"I never expected that you could see through my formation! Impressive, descendant of humanity!" A hoarse voice emerged from the darkness within the door, followed by the appearance of a old monk wearing a kasaya. His body was thin, his skin dark and covered in corpse spots, his irises devoid of color, and his face deathly pale.
Without wasting a moment, Zhang Biku swung his axe.
Mountain Severer!
With a single strike, the heavens and earth shook. The old monk vanished from his original spot, and the temple was split in two. The walls behind the temple were also severed, the destruction extending all the way outside.
Gu An, in the form of the sparrow, perched on a distant roof and watched the battle unfold.
Zhang Biku was no match for the old monk, but Gu An could assist him with his spiritual sense.
A fierce battle erupted!
Soon, the temple was reduced to rubble, and more and more evil spirits crawled out from underground, rushing toward Zhang Biku.
Surrounded, Zhang Biku fought with increasing bravery.
"Who is it? Show yourself!" the old monk suddenly roared. Every time he was about to kill Zhang Biku, a powerful spiritual sense would strike him, causing him to stumble and fall into a daze.
No one answered him, and Zhang Biku was already in a killing frenzy.
Gu An divided his attention, using his spiritual sense to aid Zhang Biku while observing the miniature worlds within the Divine Wonder City.
The powerful restrictions of the Divine Wonder City couldn't stop his Unlimited Self Walk. As long as he locked onto the auras of Zhang Biku and Li Ya, he could step into their world with a single step.
At this moment, he could enter and exit the Divine Wonder City as he pleased, unhindered by any restrictions.
Only after entering the Divine Wonder City did Fang Cang truly sense its power. This miniature world was at least a thousand units in size, and some of these worlds were even larger than the Great Azure Imperial Court. When combined, the internal space of the Divine Wonder City was probably more vast than the entire continent.
Gu An spotted Chi Jiuxiao and An Hao being pursued. Their pursuers likely came from the Seven Star Spirit Realm, led by a scattered immortal.
He also saw the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord fighting against an endless army of gods and ghosts in one of the worlds, continuously displaying divine abilities with grand and sweeping movements, exuding an unparalleled dominance.
Gu An tried to slay one of the surrounding evil ghosts, but he didn't obtain any lifespan from it.
He immediately abandoned the idea of venturing through the Divine Wonder City.
These evil ghosts seemed to originate from the same power, a power that even Gu An couldn't see through.
The existence that created the Divine Wonder City must have had a realm far beyond the Heaven-Defying Immortal.
Time passed quickly.
Half an hour later, Zhang Biku finally managed to slay the old monk with great difficulty. In reality, it was Gu An's magic power that eradicated the old monk first, followed closely by Zhang Biku's axe.
After slaying the old monk, Gu An still didn't obtain any lifespan.
Zhang Biku landed and panted heavily. He rushed to the old tree, chopped off the two ghostly hands, and caught Li Ya as he fell.
He subconsciously turned back, but the sparrow was nowhere to be seen.
He didn't have time to think about that and focused on tending to Li Ya first.
"Brother Li! Brother Li!" Zhang Biku called out softly while using his spiritual power to heal Li Ya's injuries.
At the same time, Gu An had already returned to the Mysterious Valley.
For Zhang Biku and Li Ya, the Divine Wonder City was incredibly distant from the Tai Xuan Gate. However, for Gu An, it was just a step away.
He arrived in front of the pill furnace inside the house and prepared to refine pills.
Today, not only did Li Ya and Zhang Biku encounter trouble, but so did several other acquaintances. Therefore, Gu An decided to stay in the Mysterious Valley and wait.
"Divine Wonder City's Celestial Spirits..."
Gu An seemed to have caught onto something. He stood in front of the pill furnace, deep in thought, while simultaneously beginning to feed medicinal ingredients into the furnace.
...
In a dimly lit palace corridor, An Hao and Chi Jiuxiao were hurrying along.
Chi Jiuxiao suddenly stopped and leaned against the wall, lowering his voice, "We can stop here."
An Hao looked around and asked, "Where are we?"
They had just flown out of a miniature world and ended up in this palace corridor. After walking for a long time and passing by numerous intersections, they had lost their sense of direction.
They couldn't break through the walls or even penetrate them with their spiritual sense, which made An Hao very anxious.
Chi Jiuxiao sat down and took out a small cauldron, placing it in front of him. He then took out two incense candles and lit them.
Watching him light the incense, An Hao frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Black blood oozed from the corners of Chi Jiuxiao's mouth as he forced a smile, "Those scoundrels from the Seven Star Spirit Realm are dishonorable, actually calling in two scattered immortals to deal with me. I truly can't defeat them, but if Qin Xunyi can call for help, so can I!"
An Hao's eyes widened as he asked hastily, "Aren't you from overseas? Who can you call for?"
"Hehe, my master is a existence beyond scattered immortals. As long as I light this incense, he will sense it and come to save us..." Chi Jiuxiao grinned.
Beyond scattered immortals!
An Hao was stunned.
He sat down as well and said, "Since you're calling your master, I'll call mine too!"
He began calling out to his master in his heart.
Previously, he had also called out to his master in his heart, and his master had come to his rescue.
However, he wasn't sure if his master would come. Before, when he wanted his master to save Xuantianyi, his master hadn't appeared, although his master had taken action later. But An Hao couldn't pinpoint the exact circumstances that would prompt his master to intervene.
"Your master? Don't be ridiculous. What powerful cultivator could Tai Xuan Gate possibly have?" Chi Jiuxiao couldn't help but laugh.
An Hao said, "My master is definitely more powerful than your master."
"Kid, don't you dare be disrespectful to my master!" Chi Jiuxiao glared at him.
An Hao was just about to say that Chi Jiuxiao was being disrespectful to his master.
Suddenly, the palace corridor began to tremble, and a powerful killing intent assaulted them from the darkness.
"Damn it! They caught up so quickly!"
Chi Jiuxiao immediately stood up, holding the small cauldron with the lit incense. With his other hand, he grabbed An Hao and started flying at low altitude.
Even with his strength as a Ninth Layer of the Nirvana Realm, he couldn't directly break through the walls and ceiling, so he could only fly close to the ground.
"Chi Jiuxiao, you can't escape!"
Qin Xunyi's voice rang out from behind them, filled with manic excitement.
At the same time.
Outside the Divine Wonder City.
Lu Baitian and a group of Tai Xuan Gate cultivators gazed at the city gate, discussing their plan of action once they entered.
Suddenly!
A terrifyingly powerful aura emanated from the distance, startling everyone outside the city.
They could only see a stream of light piercing through the sky, disappearing into the Divine Wonder City in the blink of an eye. It was so fast that no one could make out what was within the stream of light.
Third Watch!
