Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1616: 870: The Spiritual Realm Has a Master
Previously on Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension...
Within this concealed true realm, the entire scene morphs into the splendid domain of “Silk Strings.” The “Vortex” relentlessly emits thick curved strings.
With a shift in his mind, Zhao Sheng's form erupted in dazzling hues, merging and shifting in a flash to form an inky-black Magic Domain.
This dark Magic Domain swallowed the spacetime across miles, presenting a serene and deep vista, akin to a still pond.
However, under that deceptive tranquility, it harbored the might to annihilate all.
Evolved from the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light, the Great Five Elements Extinction Realm had advanced naturally for Zhao Sheng once he grasped the essence of Mixed Element Qi.
Truth be told, the Great Five Elements Extinction Realm remains imperfect, embodying merely the “Yin” aspect of the Five Elements while missing the “Yang” counterpart.
Hence, the saying goes: extreme Yin begets Yang!
The moment Zhao Sheng fully grasps the Great Dao principle of rebirth from demise.
He shall transmute the Great Five Elements Extinction Realm into the Creation Domain.
Mastering the “Five Elements Reverse Yin Yang” path to perfection will render crossing the Six Nine Tribulations effortless, paving the way smoothly to the Unification Realm.
After a few breaths, the Magic Domain tore through spacetime barriers, allowing Zhao Sheng to slip through the rift into the First Dark Heaven.
Entering this empty domain, he immediately detected the eerie “stillness” pervading the area.
Yet quickly, he realized this void lay right at the vortex's core, surrounded by a spacetime storm of indeterminate width.
Zhao Sheng ramped up his alertness sharply, contracting his outer Magic Domain by half as his physique silently swelled to double, becoming a towering six-zhang figure.
Buzz, buzz, buzz…
Scarcely had he entered this void domain when myriad peculiar buzzes erupted from the encircling emptiness.
The humming swelled from faint to thunderous, reaching ear-splitting intensity in moments.
Though his outer Magic Domain blocked the sound, Zhao Sheng felt unease stirring, an inexplicable rage igniting deep within.
Abruptly, Zhao Sheng's face twitched, as he “saw” innumerable golden gleams materialize from the pitch-black void.
The following instant?
No—quicker than multiple blinks!
Nearly the very moment he “spotted” those golden lights, they smashed into the Great Five Elements Extinction Realm at impossible velocity.
Bang, bang, bang…
In a flash, Zhao Sheng felt hordes of golden needles stabbing through the Extinction Realm, the deepest ones stopping short of a foot from him.
Right then, another shift unfolded!
Myriad golden needles morphed instantly into the strangest beings.
Each bore a human face—aged or youthful, male or female—all twisted in madness.
Below the heads stretched slender ant-like bodies, fully golden with flawless aerodynamic forms.
Even more horrifying, six limbs of assorted girth protruded from each side of their ant torsos.
Human-headed ants?!
Zhao Sheng's heart jolted fiercely, memories flooding back of his harrowing ordeal in the Gray Mountain labyrinth from his previous life.
Encounters with such grotesque “beings” sear into memory eternally!
Bang, bang, bang!
Under the Great Five Elements Extinction Realm's force, the human-headed gold ants exploded sequentially, dissolving into golden clusters that fled the domain at inconceivable speeds.
Zhao Sheng's eyes narrowed to pinpoints, his face turning profoundly solemn.
The next moment, five Divine Lights burst from his frame.
These Divine Lights orbited him, promptly forming five-sided treasure mirrors.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Right then, the odd buzzing rang out anew, with endless golden lights flashing into existence in the adjacent void.
These golden lights slammed into the Extinction Realm at unimaginable pace, fracturing its structure.
At once, surges of human-headed gold ants surged from the shadows, battering the Great Five Elements Extinction Realm.
Bang, bang, bang…
The Great Five Elements Extinction Realm endured just one breath before shattering apart.
As the proverb states, among all heaven's martial techniques, none unbreakable save speed invincible!
The human-headed gold ants boasted incredibly tough frames and blistering swiftness.
Their sheer bodily collisions matched full-powered strikes from most early Reversal Cultivators.
Though Zhao Sheng wielded supreme strength, he found himself briefly unprepared.
Bang, bang, bang…
Zhao Sheng unleashed Mana like a flood, rebuilding the Extinction Realm over and over, only for it to get blasted repeatedly!
One breath,
Two breaths,
After two breaths, Zhao Sheng seized a brief respite, having pinpointed a key vulnerability in the human-headed gold ants.
Suddenly, he bellowed: “Five Elements… Five Directions… Treasure Mirror, open for me!”
Instantly, boundless radiance exploded from the Five Directions Treasure Mirror, ballooning thousands of times to form a colossal “Light Mirror” spanning hundreds of zhāng.
In the following instant, the Light Mirror's face generated endless pulling force.
Across miles, myriad human-headed gold ants, taken aback, got drawn into the mirror.
In moments, tens of thousands of those bizarre human-headed gold ants vanished completely inside.
One breath on, three additional waves of human-headed gold ants fell victim consecutively to the five-sided treasure mirrors.
These human-headed gold ants weren't true lifeforms; they fused Gold Element and Wind Element Laws.
They inherently wielded gold's unyielding toughness and wind's velocity, yielding devastating prowess.
Crucially, their blinding speed proved tough even for Zhao Sheng to counter.
One must note that post-Reversal breakthrough, Zhao Sheng's awareness hit True Time tier.
True Time signifies the precise segmentation of time's passage.
