Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 982 - 67: Clash Once Again [4]

[Additional Updates for Last Month's Voting]

The gods and dragons are engaged in battle.

Holy Emperor Venerable sacrificed divine power, resulting in the bodies of several main battle divine spirits being as large as mountains. The Great Wilderness God is wild, the Longevity Heaven is lofty, Qingfu True God is mysterious, Tianjiang Mansion Lord is mighty, Kunlun Mountain Master is ancient... Various different auras intertwine, weaving together the belief accumulated by the Shenzhou People Clan over eighty thousand years, the essence of humanity accumulated over eighty thousand years.

Meanwhile, the dragons manifested by Mi using Tengling Riddle technique are no less formidable than the gods of Holy Emperor Venerable. The spirit bodies, stretching for miles, twist and turn like true dragons practicing martial arts, colliding ferociously against the gods' defensive line in the most direct and savage manner.

It is as if the power of nature and life beings collides with the power of human civilization, producing the most powerful sound.

The suddenly appearing gigantic spirit body, like a mountain range, blocks the sunlight. The mortals on Spirit Phoenix Island look on in terror at the "cliff" suddenly emerging miles away, their hearts filled with fear.

The waves splashed by the battle occasionally fly thousands of feet into the air, crossing the divine barrier of divine power, and the suddenly appearing "mountains", landing on Spirit Phoenix Island.

To the mortals, these waves are like torrential rain, plunging the entire island into a flood disaster. Like a dam-breaking flood, rain pours down, causing numerous compacted earth houses on Spirit Phoenix Island to collapse, turning into muddy ground. On the island, visibility is less than half a meter. People cry and shout, desperately trying to grab onto something around them. The whole island is almost barren; what could they possibly hold onto?

Those fortunate enough to survive roll up their sleeves, braving thigh-high currents, and head toward higher ground on the island.

As for the sea water, which would cause all the land to become saline and alkaline... no one is even considering that now.

This is the result of both Mi and Holy Emperor Venerable consciously controlling the battlefield. They haven't completely unleashed their full might and are intentionally steering aftershocks away from Spirit Phoenix Island.

In despair, the citizens feel a torrent of strength surging within them, enabling them to exert unimaginable strength and walk upstream to higher places.

Little do they know, this is the power bestowed by Holy Emperor Venerable. To Holy Emperor Venerable, they are also "sacrificial victims" needing protection.

And the individuals swept into the sea, almost impossible to return to the island by their own power, mysteriously disappear one by one. Holy Emperor Venerable vaguely perceives the emerald spirit light encircle the submerged ones, and they seem to be drawn into a grotto heaven.

"Prepared grotto heaven treasure in advance? To plunder my people?"

Holy Emperor Venerable is both shocked and furious, increasingly certain that this mysterious adversary came with preparation. What he doesn't know is that the grotto heaven is merely a product of Mi's technique.

The so-called grotto heaven is simply powerful spiritual power causing gravitational anomalies and spatial warping closures. The spiritual power required to warp space to this extent must be immense and unbearable for ordinary life beings, requiring a large mountain vein. However, Mi's body already stretches for a thousand miles, akin to a large mountain vein. Hence, maintaining an ordinary grotto heaven is not difficult. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

With someone else working in coordination on the Shenzhou Continent, those drowned refugees can be transported to Shenzhou.

However, Holy Emperor Venerable has a very stable foundation. His power spreads like a plant's root system across every inch of this space. Only when those victims are dragged several meters underwater does Mi intervene to capture them into the grotto heaven.

Beneath the sea surface, Mi's spiritual power can surpass Holy Emperor Venerable's divine power. Otherwise, awaiting her would be Holy Emperor Venerable's thunderous attack!

Confronting this level of battle, even the Mahayana Cultivator Zhen Chan can only express astonishment. Both Mi and Holy Emperor Venerable now possess power levels beyond his peak period. Not to mention, the Great Wilderness God could punch a mountain into a basin, permanently altering the map. The sect protection array of Spirit Phoenix Island's sects altogether couldn't withstand even a punch from this giant god.

Yet neither Mi nor Holy Emperor Venerable has resorted to their strongest trump cards. Holy Emperor Venerable's Divine Country remains incomplete, and Mi's current body is less than one percent of its peak.

"A world this small is ultimately too limited..."

—Only the vast universe and endless galaxy can nurture truly powerful life beings.

This ancient powerhouse from ten thousand years ago can only sigh.

Now he is entrusted in a ring, brought by Wang Qi into Mi's area of protection. If not, even ten thousand years ago, he might not have had the privilege to witness this battle!

Wang Qi is completely enveloped by emerald spirit light. The light flows like a reverse spiral, like a fountain, like a tsunami, expanding outward in circles, like endless Taiji Cloud Hands constantly clearing away the incoming external force for Wang Qi.

Compared to the ten-mile long Dragon Form spirit body stirring the wind and cloud and dominating the heavenly phenomena, Wang Qi is undoubtedly insignificant. He seems like an ant merely caught between the two opposing armies.

However, this ant is not only the core of the confrontation but also possesses the power to influence the outcome of the battle.

Wang Qi's consciousness once again connected to a mysterious place. The last time his consciousness entered here, he found it indescribably chaotic. However, this time, based on his previous experience, he identified the interaction protocol between himself, the Heart Demon Mysterious Net, and the Divine Tao System, deciphering the model of this Divine Tao Kingdom and recognizing the power within. With Senior Sister Mi drawing the Holy Emperor Venerable's attention, Wang Qi boldly invaded and harvested information.

Countless pieces of intelligence regarding the Holy Emperor Venerable's Divine Country Technique flowed into Wang Qi's mind, and were subsequently recorded into his calculator. Numerous secrets were uncovered by him. Core technologies of a particular Divine Tao civilization from certain heavens and earths in the cosmos were unveiled before his eyes. Inspired, he turned his hand and took out the Immortal Dao Burning Book List.

The fragments of the Immortal Dao Burning Book List in Wang Qi's hand mostly recorded matters related to the Divine Tao. The divine technology of Shenzhou was still in its initial, primitive stage, and even the Modern Immortal Path couldn't rival the true Divine Tao civilization in the application of the Power of Human Dao. However, the principles of both sides are invariably the same.

This is akin to the periodic table. As long as human physics is not entirely disconnected from reality, the periodic table is universally applicable across the universe.

The Immortal Dao Burning Book List in Wang Qi's hand had been organized by the Holy Infant Sect thousands of years ago, and later systematically archived by a program Wang Qi wrote, forming a clear and complete system. Whatever new insights he glimpsed from the Holy Emperor Venerable's divine kingdom could be categorized under this development lineage of the Divine Tao. By comparing the two, he could comprehend more quickly.

Yet he was unaware that he had indeed provoked someone.

Initially, the Holy Emperor Venerable was solely focused on subduing this mysterious foe before him. Although he sensed the opponent running amok in his cultivated Human Dao Country, he still chose to deal with the immediate adversary first. To be cautious, he specially released several divine spirits, almost forming a besieging formation.

However, the moment the Immortal Dao Burning Book List appeared, his expression finally changed.

"That...the Divine Tao Scroll! I've long sought for this Divine Tao Scroll!"

"There were rumors it had fallen into the hands of a Banished Immortal... is it him?"

The Divine Tao Scroll of the Immortal Dao Burning Book List contains all faith-related material from Shenzhou spanning tens of thousands of years. To ordinary people, this information is worthless, but to the Holy Emperor Venerable, it's nothing short of foundational in becoming Dao. At this moment, he even relinquished the notion of sparing the mortals.

This guy must die!

The fragments of the Immortal Dao Burning Book List must belong to me!

The Holy Emperor Venerable had originally been miles away on the battlefield, with no intention to personally engage. The clash between such gigantic divine bodies of a thousand zhang tall with spiritual forms spanning miles seemed unfit for an ordinary human being less than eight feet tall like him. Yet, in the next moment, he demonstrated with action that battles between cultivators are not to be judged by mortal standards.

He reached out in Wang Qi's direction, stretching his fingers. The three concentric circles on his brow flashed briefly, and then a pupil-shaped mark appeared on the Laogong Acupoint of his palm. Pure white divine light spread out, forming seven concentric rings of varying sizes around him.

"Sevenfold Holy War, Human Dao Heavenly Country!"

The first halo lit up, and the enormous ring, three hundred zhang in diameter, now seemed like a tiny aperture on a high-pressure water tank, connecting to a spacetime containing infinite power. The internal strength rushed eagerly towards this side, yet seemed inexhaustible.

The emerald waves began collapsing.

This white light was not simply divine power. It more resembled a materialized divine kingdom's impact, containing thousands of arrays and divine skills, with endless marvelous applications.

Under the torrent of white light, Mi's technique of borrowing power for leverage suddenly became ineffective. The spirit light that seemed as soft as superior water was now like a dam of wood and stone, easily breached and destroyed.

"That guy suddenly went crazy, couldn't hold on." Despite the critical situation, Mi's voice remained calm and steady. Countless magic seals unfolded around Wang Qi, combining to form a Teleportation Array. Simultaneously, the Holy Emperor Venerable sensed a mysterious fluctuation in the void, as if something enormous was being sent far away.

"Trying to escape? You underestimate me."

With his words, the second ring lit up. It was as if a heavenly palace were crashing into the mortal world, the materialized divine country suddenly pressing down, as if intending to suppress everything here altogether.

The dragon form spirit bodies created by the Tengling Riddle wailed in unison and scattered. The entire sea seemed to ignite, as the invisible and intangible spirit light turned into a cloud holding up the heaven, resisting the Holy Emperor Venerable's divine country suppression.

"Is it that easy?"

The third and fourth rings lit up simultaneously. The white torrent was still intensifying. Wang Qi suddenly felt the trembling of the Immortal Dao Burning Book List in his hand. He realized, "This divine skill belongs to the Holy Infant Sect! His refining of the merciful father and pure child Wind King has reached a new level! The Immortal Dao Burning Book List is originally a treasure of the Holy Infant Sect. This white light seems like pure force impact, but inside there's a lot of wonderful law gates. The Immortal Dao Burning Book List resonating with Holy Infant Sect's power will never be destroyed."

"The Holy Emperor Venerable's target is the Immortal Dao Burning Book List?"

No time to think more, Wang Qi exerted his mana, in conjunction with the artificial intelligence artifact spirit Huang Shuyin, swiftly subduing the Immortal Dao Burning Book List in his hand.

When the seventh halo lit up, it was as if a true divine kingdom appeared on the sea surface.
