Chapter 283 Die On The Spot?
Chapter 283: Death on the Spot?
For a moment, the situation became extremely dangerous.
Qin Muling's expression became serious as he quickly pondered a way to deal with the situation. With the barrier of the Good Fortune Heavenly Palace, even the three Emperor Sovereigns couldn't directly come over to help. He could only find a way to get through this himself.
His divine sense once again focused on the bone-like talisman in his inner space. It was shining brightly and could break through the void and fly away at any moment. Once it broke free, it would sweep away everything within dozens of miles, including Qin Muling himself.
"I don't believe that your methods can really take me away!"
Qin Muling gritted his teeth and said, his aura suddenly changed. With the activation of his innate divine ability, a chaotic and indescribable light flame burst out from his body, burning fiercely.
Beside him, Mu Yinghua looked at him in disbelief. Qin Muling's oppressive aura kept rising, quickly breaking through the peak of the Origin Immortal realm, stepping into the True Immortal realm, and then breaking through the Profound Immortal realm. After that, he reached the Golden Immortal realm... until he finally stabilized at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.
This was the innate divine ability of the Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus. By sacrificing and offering 8,000 years of lifespan, he could temporarily gain a cultivation level three realms higher than his own, which could last for up to an hour.
"What... what ability is this?"
Mu Yinghua asked incredulously. She vaguely knew that Qin Muling had some special divine abilities, but she had never seen him use them before, hence her question.
"It's just sacrificing lifespan to exchange for cultivation. I can't explain the specifics for now. I'll explain it to you and Master slowly in the future."
Qin Muling said, and as his cultivation soared, he didn't have time to adapt to the power of the Golden Immortal realm's divine ability. He immediately exerted all his strength to suppress the restless talisman.
As his cultivation realm increased, the inner space of the Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus expanded. Especially the spatial laws became more intricate and strict, and its power to shield and isolate was more than a hundred times stronger than before. It effectively blocked the erosion and infiltration of external forces.
Within a few breaths, the talisman quieted down again, and the brilliance on its surface noticeably dimmed.
However, before Qin Muling could catch his breath, the pulling force from the unknown source suddenly increased significantly. The bone-like talisman erupted with dazzling light, struggling and jumping incessantly, accompanied by the faint sound of wind and thunder.
"I knew it!"
Qin Muling felt a wave of fear. If he hadn't made a decisive move and sacrificed his lifespan to increase his cultivation, he was afraid that he would have fallen into the enemy's hands by now.
Fortunately, it wasn't too late. Qin Muling raised his hand and cast a series of spiritual techniques. The Good Fortune Heavenly Palace trembled violently, and brilliant starlights, resembling Flood Dragons, appeared in the sky, interweaving into a dazzling and mysterious light net on the dome. With the power of the Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus, it further weakened and shielded the pulling force from the unknown source.
Outside the Good Fortune Heavenly Palace, three graceful and beautiful figures, with slender and voluptuous bodies, arrived on clouds at the same time.
"This... seems to be the work of the Palace of Calamitous Fate? They really never stop, do they?"
Emperor Xin Yu glanced briefly and understood about seventy to eighty percent.
"Yes, there should be a presence at the level of Quasi-Saint Emperor on the other side, and there are two of them."
Emperor Qing Huan's face became solemn, and a hint of killing intent could be seen in her crystal-clear eyes. This sect just couldn't stop causing trouble. It was said that there had been a major incident within the sect recently, and the former sect master, Yun Miaozhi, and his descendants were not only expelled from the sect but also wanted as rebels. It was unclear what exactly had happened.
Even so, this sect still refused to stay quiet. Now they dared to target Qin Muling, attempting to disrupt the plans of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance. How could they tolerate this?
"What should we do now? Should we join forces and counterattack?"
Emperor Tong Yin, with a cold voice and a murderous look on her face, said that plotting against Qin Muling meant trying to seize their chance for enlightenment. It would be strange if she had a good expression.
Emperor Xin Yu looked around and said, "The Good Fortune Heavenly Palace is currently sealed off, so we can't enter. Let's first use our power to block the space and isolate the force of spatial distortion! We can deal with their plans once we have thwarted them."
"Very well."
The three empresses agreed in unison and joined forces to shield and separate the surrounding void. Emperor Xin Yu also activated the sect's protective mountain formation, causing a burst of golden light and countless rainbows to traverse the sky. The majestic power sealed the entire land firmly.
In the main hall of the Palace of Calamitous Fate.
The dark altar emitted a groaning sound under the heavy burden. Sinister blood-colored flames rose hundreds of feet high, and within the flames, the piercing screams and cries became even more ear-piercing. Countless twisted and agonized faces faintly appeared in the flames, and the suffocating pressure forced Ling Xi and Zi Huang to completely withdraw from the hall to avoid being affected.
Apart from the Great Principle-level powerhouses, even Taiyi Golden Immortals dared not stand in this hall at this moment.
"Sister, do you think we will succeed this time?"
Zi Huang, with her enchanting and cold demeanor, asked softly. On her fair and beautiful face, her black eyebrows slightly furrowed, unable to shake off the uneasiness in her heart.
Ling Xi, with a touch of innocence and beauty, pondered for a moment before saying, "I'm not too sure either. That talisman was just a little trinket I casually refined. The materials used were ordinary, and I didn't put much effort into the formation and restrictions inside. Using it as a medium for casting spells is a bit of a stretch."
Zi Huang instantly understood. Even if the two empresses forcefully acted, sacrificing part of their own lifespan as a price, the effect might not be as expected because the talisman couldn't bear too much power.
"It seems that the possibility of failure is not small,"
Zi Huang sighed softly, "To pay such an extravagant price, but in the end... Could it be that the luck of the Extreme Void Starry Sky is truly unrelated to our Heavenly Human Race?"
Ling Xi looked around and whispered, "For this vast and boundless world, we are just unwelcome guests. It is only natural for the heavenly path to reject and oppose us. The difficulty of achieving success is far beyond imagination."
As members of the prestigious Heavenly Human Race with a destined bright future, the two women were well aware of the plans of their clan's high-ranking officials. If they couldn't obtain the luck of the Extreme Void Starry Sky, the severe consequences would be unbearable for them.
The Heavenly Human Race in the Illusory Mist Secret Realm, to be precise, were the descendants of the first generation of heavenly beings who committed great crimes and were exiled. Therefore, the cultivators in the Extreme Void Starry Sky preferred to call them remnants of the Heavenly Human Race.
The Illusory Mist Secret Realm was the prison that confined the first generation of heavenly beings. It was said to be a fragment of the collapsed heavenly realm, which was not just a rumor but a fact.
Inside the Bronze Hall.
In front of the pitch-black altar, the blurry figure of the young man only briefly became clear before returning to its elusive state. No matter how much the two Emperor Kings exerted their power, it was in vain.
"What the hell... is going on?"
Emperor Yu Xi gritted his teeth and felt a wave of weakness. He sacrificed a whole Yuanhui of his lifespan, but still couldn't see any effect. On the contrary, Qin Muling's figure became even more blurred, adding to his frustration and helplessness.
"It should be the Emperor King from the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace interfering, and there may be other helpers as well."
Emperor Yan Yu's expression was equally unpleasant. Engaging in a battle across such a vast space, they were already at a disadvantage. Their only hope was to catch the enemy off guard. If the opponent reacted in time and had an equal number of powerful beings to intervene and disrupt, the chances of success would be slim.
However, the importance of Qin Muling was beyond doubt. If they couldn't control him, the success of the Heavenly Human Race's grand plan would become an unknown variable. So this was a battle they simply couldn't afford to lose.
"There's no other way, we can only give it our all!"
Emperor Yan Yu gritted his teeth and consecutively sprayed three mouthfuls of his own essence blood, which fell onto the pitch-black altar in front of him. In an instant, the blood-colored flames that were constantly surging and rolling surged again, and the deadly demonic cries became even sharper and more terrifying.
Seeing this, Emperor Yu Xi no longer hesitated. He also sprayed three mouthfuls of his essence blood, which meant that three more Yuanhui of his lifespan were burned and consumed.
The body of the altar trembled violently, emitting a painful roar like an injured beast. Countless cracks appeared faintly, indicating that it had exceeded its limit and could collapse and disintegrate at any moment.
On Imperial Dao Peak.
"What a powerful force. They must have temporarily exhausted their lifespan to obtain it. They really are willing to pay a high price!"
Feeling the sudden increase in the pulling force from the void, Emperor Xin Yu said in surprise.
Emperor Tong Yin smirked slightly, "No matter how they struggle, as long as we're here, they won't succeed today!"
Emperor Qing Huan nodded. With the combined power of the three empresses, it would be a big joke if they could still capture anyone.
"Let them waste their energy! I don't believe they can hold on much longer!"
Emperor Xin Yu snorted. The power obtained by sacrificing lifespan was indeed fierce and terrifying, but it couldn't last for too long. Once the time passed, the opponent would inevitably enter a period of weakness.
Sure enough, after only three hundred breaths, the pulling force that came from the unknown weakened suddenly and then rapidly declined.
The three empresses remained cautious and alert, focusing their attention for a while. Seeing that there was no more movement on the other side, they confirmed their victory.
A subtle message entered Emperor Xin Yu's mind, and he showed a slight joy on his face, immediately saying, "It's fine now. Let's go down and see that little guy."
At this moment, in the Good Fortune Heavenly Palace, Qin Muling breathed a sigh of relief and took out a piece of talisman stone from the space within her body. The stone was almost crushed into powder.
In the previous battle, this item finally shattered due to the repeated pulling force from the void, causing the two emperors on the other side to suffer a crushing defeat.
"So it was this thing?"
Mu Yinghua's expression relaxed, but then she put on a stern face and reprimanded with some fear, "How did you bring this unknown thing with you? Fortunately, there were three emperors here today. Otherwise, I wonder what would have happened to you? If you were captured by them, would there be a good outcome?"
"I was wrong!"
Qin Muling didn't defend herself this time. Ling Xi had given her this thing, and she had never used it, but she also didn't throw it away. She had always kept it with her, but she never expected such a big hidden danger.
"Alright, how many things are hidden in the space within your body? Take them all out and let us inspect them. Not a single thing can be left behind!"
The figures of the three empresses appeared quietly by her side, and Emperor Tong Yin spoke.
"Well..."
Qin Muling couldn't help but hesitate. There were many things stored in the space within her body. The others were fine, but those indescribable items of interest, as well as various limited edition illustrated art books, would they all be exposed to their gaze?
If it were a male emperor, it would be fine, but in front of the three empresses, these things were truly embarrassing. The feeling of being socially dead on the spot was not pleasant.
