Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1419: 762: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, While the Cicada Flies and the Egg Breaks

One single punch shattered the dimensional barrier again, creating a massive “hole”.

As soon as the hole formed, a flurry of screams echoed for a brief instant before falling silent completely!

The horde of Demon Thought Subbodies that Jiu Luo Demon Elder had meticulously concealed were utterly wiped out by that lone strike.

Just a handful of those subbodies remaining at the Demon Clan’s headquarters barely survived the catastrophic event!!

“Boom boom boom”

A barrage of deep, thunder-like rumbles exploded fiercely, with endless shards of space entangled in turbulent space-time currents exploding outward in every direction, shattering the ocean surface down to the seafloor, vaporizing enormous volumes of water, and causing Demon Rising Island to crumble under the dimensional collapse, plunging into the depths with a thunderous crash.

High in the sky, a silhouette materialized from nowhere.

Zhao Sheng’s complexion looked somewhat ashen, gripping a plain yet enormous ancient axe, as he gazed downward at the ravaged and chaotic waters below.

Right now, the ocean was alive with crackling bolts and roaring thunder, while thick mists surged outward rapidly, swiftly enveloping the vibrant Light Ball hovering in the air.

The countless expressions etched on the Light Ball’s exterior had dwindled by over half, yet they appeared utterly unaffected.

Upon witnessing this, Zhao Sheng exhaled in relief, his form blurring as he teleported back to the summit of the colorful Light Ball.

Next, a beam of tunneling light streaked toward him, unveiling Wu Yue’s form in an instant.

Wu Yue stared at Zhao Sheng nearby with an expression brimming with reverence, intending to offer a grin in greeting, but his throat felt parched all of a sudden, prompting him to moisten his lips involuntarily, leaving him momentarily at a loss for words.

“Clouds arise, thunder come!”

In an abrupt shout, Zhao Sheng unleashed his majestic will like a torrent, summoning swirling dark clouds from every corner, which in moments linked the entire Heavenly Sea together, blanketing the heavens and earth in heavy gloom, with bolts of lightning and peals of thunder crackling everywhere.

Right then, Zhao Sheng was encircled by brilliant electric arcs, resembling a blazing golden sun that no one could behold directly.

“Boom boom boom”

Thunder boomed fiercely, as a colossal bolt several meters wide slammed into the sea, with innumerable electric serpents and thunder dragons plunging wildly from the clouds, evoking the chaos of doomsday.

Across a vast expanse of sea spanning thousands of miles, billions of lightning strikes rampaged unchecked, utterly scattering the swirling demonic qi vortex, while every creature in that area became prey to the thunderbolts, reduced to heaps of scorched debris.

“This… how is it possible… wait a minute!”

Disbelief twisted Wu Yue’s features, and he hastily unsealed the Corpse Dissection Bag, darting about in a frenzy to recover the formidable corpse monsters he had deployed.

Observing this, Zhao Sheng’s thoughts shifted subtly, causing the descending thunder from the clouds to spare those mighty corpse monsters, though some frailer zombies were unavoidably incinerated to dust by the strikes.

The clash against Jiu Luo Demon Elder had been brief in duration, yet the spectacle it generated was staggering, rousing half of Dome Sea Star with the far-off celestial disturbances, and drawing a swarm of self-styled mighty fiends racing toward Fallen Immortal Sea.

Yet, shortly after, the majority of those fiends were terrified away by the immense thunder sea that blanketed Fallen Immortal Sea, fleeing in panic without ever revealing themselves once more.

All of this entered Zhao Sheng’s “sight.” But he paid no heed to the insignificant “insects” that were the foreign demons of the nearby seas, concentrating instead on patrolling the perimeter of the colorful Light Ball, anticipating Xue Susu’s return.

After gathering up the dispersed corpse monsters, Wu Yue finally let out a relieved breath, dabbing the sweat from his brow with his sleeve, and drifting back slowly.

“Senior Zhao, you truly startled me back there! But with your presence, I’m certain our task this round is as good as done!”

Still, Zhao Sheng lacked such assurance: “No telling when Mr. Xue will complete the process and come out. Should it drag on too much, I fear we might not escape even if we tried.”

“Ah, how come?” At these words, Wu Yue’s pulse quickened, and he pressed for details at once.

With a grave tone, Zhao Sheng replied: “I’ve just discovered that a Cave Void Demon Emperor is heading this way. A bit more delay, and that demon will reach us for sure, at which point our end is all too clear!”

“This… this… what should we do!” On hearing this, fresh beads of sweat erupted on Wu Yue’s forehead, and he nearly leaped in distress.

It wasn’t due to any weakness on his part, but the vast gap between Unification Realm and Returning to Void Realm powers was simply too immense. Even with Zhao Sheng’s present might, he wouldn’t claim victory over the lowliest Unification Realm expert. Holding even to a stalemate would be an achievement!

Ultimately, Unification Realm experts were horrifying beings who forged their own Grotto Heavens, their very “scale” dwarfing that of Returning to Void Realm by at least tens of thousands of times, rendering the disparity beyond words.

The deeper Wu Yue pondered, the more frantic he grew, flicking repeated looks at the colorful Light Ball, easing a touch whenever a face vanished, only to tighten with dread soon after.

The span of time it takes to sip a cup of tea flew by in a flash!

As the endless thunder kept crashing down, the colorful Light Ball finally held just one enormous face, bearing a sorrowful and merciful expression, its gaze abruptly firing two piercing beams of Divine Light straight into the emptiness.

Right away, an immense, majestic, and otherworldly presence flowed out from the Light Ball’s core, followed by the vivid colors fading bit by bit.

In that instant, the face with its sorrowful and merciful visage grew sharper and more lifelike, as though it had awakened to life.

Upon beholding this, Zhao Sheng’s spirit quickened, sensing that Xue Susu’s breakthrough was near at hand, marking the pivotal juncture now.

He flicked his hand abruptly, retracting his Will Field into himself in a rush, halting the sky’s myriad thunders briefly before their count dwindled sharply, thinning out progressively.

Joy lit up Wu Yue’s countenance, his eyes locking onto the Light Ball without wavering, as the Mystic Light around him flared intensely, releasing waves of enigmatic Law Fluctuations.

“Part of Yunqing Venerable’s remains are indeed here, judging by the current situation, Senior Sister Xue has already inherited part of the Great Venerable’s legacy, and is likely able to successfully return to Yunqing Cave Heaven.” Wu Yue’s gaze blazed as he fixed on the Light Ball, sending a hurried voice transmission to Zhao Sheng simultaneously.
