Chapter 573: Chapter 232: Battle with the Terminal Daoist, Gaining the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device (10,000 Words) _6

At this moment, he finally realized what kind of plan Fan Wubing had been plotting by pretending to be insane before.

It was to attract his attention and then steal the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device!

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen’s sight went black, nearly fainting.

He couldn’t bear the responsibility of losing the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device.

He even more couldn’t bear the responsibility of this innate magical treasure, which is closest to the Destiny Dao, falling into the hands of others.

If one day, White Jade Capital were to face a fatal crisis and could only take two things, the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device would be one of them.

The reason Carefree Ancestor asked him to bring along the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device to explore the Heaven-shaking Thunder Sea was that the ascension celestial thunder of the Thunder Sea was transformed from the thunder before the Ascension Platform collapsed! It contains the secrets of the Path to Immortality! The most coveted secret in the world. Therefore, they risked letting him bring the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device.

But now,

The person who took the celestial thunder wasn’t identified, and the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device was stolen.

As a cultivator, Celestial Venerable Yu Chen’s celestial demeanor and sage-like demeanor crumbled under the pressure of shock, panic, and confusion, like a candidate who failed the imperial examinations staring at Fan Wubing,

"What exactly did you do..."

Fan Wubing looked at him expressionlessly, "In this world, not everything is controlled by White Jade Capital. I think you should understand this better than I. Some people really can stop at nothing to achieve their goals."

"Are you aware that this means you’re standing against the entire Daoist School?"

Fan Wubing slightly lowered his head, "Even if one day you say I’m against the whole world, I am still me."

"Who... exactly are you!"

"Knowing there’s no answer, why bother to ask again?"

Every strand of Celestial Venerable Yu Chen’s beard screamed anger, no longer the elegant Mei Rangong,

"Don’t forget, you’re still under my control!"

A myriad of Daoist mechanisms howled, pressing down the whole space. The orientation fell into utter chaos. Fan Wubing completely lost his sense of space, only feeling the space before him shatter into countless pieces, rotating around like a tornado.

Since direction couldn’t be discerned, just close your eyes.

"Heart’s Furnace" unfolded, letting the heart become the direction.

Fan Wubing held the Moon Pointing, suspended in the air. He once again slashed out Sword Qi.

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen shouted in anger, "It’s useless, useless!" With the orientation in chaos, the Sword Qi couldn’t possibly land on him.

But Fan Wubing still slashed one sword after another, as before.

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen’s countless divine techniques. Various Daoist mechanisms rushed at Fan Wubing from all directions. Missing his sense of orientation left him unable to resist. So, he simply gave up dodging, letting all kinds of Divine Techniques, Daoist methods fall upon him.

Despite having a Thirty Thousand Jing blood bar, under such relentless bombardment, it rapidly dropped to zero.

He entered the "Phoenix Rebirth" state that he hadn’t in a long time;

Entered the "My Body Reaches to Heaven" state that he hadn’t in a long time.

All of Celestial Venerable Yu Chen’s attacks became ineffective.

But Fan Wubing just closed his eyes, continuously slashing out Sword Qi, filling the entire space with Sword Intent.

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen’s scalp tingled. It was only then that he realized Fan Wubing’s strength previously displayed was less than one-tenth, even less than one percent!

Who on earth is this person!

When did such a figure appear in the world!

Why hadn’t White Jade Capital discovered it before!

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen had no time to ponder these questions, for he quickly found that the Sword Qi Fan Wubing slashed had unknowingly covered the entire space he controlled. Then, these Sword Qi simultaneously exploded, unleashing a strange Sword Intent. This Sword Intent was extraordinarily cold, able to freeze even the Great Dao!

The Four Directions Dao, which he had covered in this space, was actually frozen!

However, as the Terminal Daoist of the Four Directions Dao, his Dao Insight was extremely robust and only got frozen for a moment.

But that moment became a deadly flaw.

Fan Wubing seized that instant of a gap, suddenly darted out of the orientation chaotic bind, and disappeared over the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen’s face turned pale with anger, "You won’t escape!"

He immediately activated the Life Dao, opened the Map of All Living Creatures, seeking Fan Wubing’s Fire of Life.

Almost instantaneously, he found Fan Wubing’s Fire of Life, which was darting away rapidly.

"Such speed! Does he have no weaknesses? What a terrifying person!"

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen was even more panicked.

It’s unimaginable what disaster placing the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device in the hands of someone with such strength would cause.

A minor slip would be a disaster for the whole world!

He dared not think further, hastily followed the trajectory of Fan Wubing’s Fire of Life. He used all the traveling treasures, talismans, and body technique divine techniques he had... everything he could use.

Finally,

An hour later, he caught up with Fan Wubing’s Fire of Life.

It was an abandoned island at sea.

Without hesitation, he activated the Four Directions Dao, covering the entire island, while dispersing his soul into every strand of his Dao Insight, to prevent Fan Wubing from employing the same tactic and freezing his Dao again.

After setting up all the precautions, he darted onto the island,

"You won’t escape! Hand over the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device, and there’s still a chance to remedy this! Otherwise, you’ll face the entire White Jade Capital’s pursuit!"

A dead silence reigned on the island.

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen noticed something written on a nearby beach.

He darted over to check—

"Take a good look at what you’re really chasing!"

Suddenly, a person emerged from under the sand, bursting before Celestial Venerable Yu Chen could react. The explosion’s power instantly turned the surrounding thousand miles of sea into dry land. The abandoned island at the explosion’s center cracked into empty rifts with rippling patterns. The void wind howling out devoured half of Celestial Venerable Yu Chen’s body in an instant.

He hastily retreated to avoid being swallowed by the void.

"A clone, it’s a clone!"

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen’s face twisted, his anger nearly becoming a tangible blaze.

"But how is it possible! The Map of All Living Creatures only records the true body’s Fire of Life! How did he manage this!"

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen couldn’t believe that he, who comprehended the Life Dao, could be deceived by a mere clone.

Then,

He suddenly realized a possibility,

"Unless... he also comprehended the Life Dao!"

His face instantly turned incredibly pale.

"So, from the very beginning, I was in his trap..." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The Little Carefree Order in his arms trembled madly, a torrent of messages pouring in from White Jade Capital.

The Great Leisurely Official of the Three Elders Pavilion, along with the Carefree Ancestor, questioned him, "Why did the aura of the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device suddenly vanish?"

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen let out a bitter laugh, not knowing how to reply.
