Chapter 734 - 78: Ambush

Void Battlefield, a place where an ancient battle once occurred.

This place is called the ’Void Divine Realm’, originally a world invaded by the Void, and even a great war took place here.

Now shattered into three gigantic, crack-ridden floating islands, like solitary boats in a raging sea, they rise and fall in the violent Void Storm.

Chonghe Xuan Immortal stands at the center of the floating island, his expression solemn, his hands forming intricate spells, surrounded by Yuqing Immortal Light surging like the sea.

Before him, a simple and heavy bronze disc is suspended.

This is exactly the treasured artifact of the Yuqing Guangcheng Dao Lineage, the Space Stabilizing Disc!

The surface of the disc is engraved with star trajectories and space solidification runes, now shining with blinding blue light.

"Heaven and Earth positioning, Void eternity! Set!"

With an order from Chonghe Xuan Immortal, he bites his tongue tip, spraying a mouthful of essence blood onto the core of the Space Stabilizing Disc.

Buzz——!

The Space Stabilizing Disc trembles violently, emitting a heavy reverberating buzz seemingly from ancient times.

A condensed beam of blue light ascends to the sky, then transforms into countless fine blue light threads, like a spider web shooting out from the center of the Space Stabilizing Disc towards all directions!

Where the light threads pass, the violent spatial turbulence seems to be forcibly smoothed and straightened by an invisible giant hand.

The Star Shards, which were violently shaking and were about to disintegrate, are forcibly fixed in place.

The dark spatial cracks that continuously open and devour everything suddenly slow down drastically, their edges covered with a resilient blue crystalline light, resembling a frozen glacier.

As if forcibly transformed into a giant, solidified space amber!

"The Space Stabilizing Disc is running at full capacity, the Void shackles are formed! Within billions of miles around this place, the art of Spatial Shifting is now impossible! Even a Golden Immortal cannot escape through the void!"

Chonghe Xuan Immortal’s face is pale, his breathing slightly hurried.

He looks towards the edge of the floating island.

There, a patch of "gravel" wriggling like a living creature, constantly dripping viscous black-purple liquid, emits a foreboding aura, known as Time Abyss Sand.

Controlling it are two terrifying beings radiating Profound Immortal Level Abyssal pressure.

On the left, a giant tumor conglomerate, constantly expanding and contracting, its surface covered with oozing orifice-pockets.

The "Lord of Decay," Agemon. Within the orifice-pockets, the aura of universal decay emanates.

On the right, an uncanny humanoid composed of countless shifting shadows.

The "Chaotic Time Shadow," Sargeras.

Its body constantly shifts between light and shadow, surrounded by shadows moving at varied speeds, and where its gaze falls, even the light becomes fragmented.

"This Exotic Treasure is truly powerful."

Agemon emits a windy hiss, with a huge orifice-pocket aimed at Time Abyss Sand, spewing a black-purple light beam filled with corrosive origin.

Sargeras silently dances its shadow-formed arms, with numerous spectral shadow duplicates rotating around Time Abyss Sand like phantoms at high speed, stirring chaotic time ripples.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

The Time Abyss Sand boils violently as if thrown into hot oil, with dense black-purple mist surging and spreading.

Where the mist passes, the flow of time here is utterly disrupted, sliced, and inverted.

Combined with the absolute spatial coagulation created by the Space Stabilizing Disc, it forms a despair-inducing "Space-Time Anchor" net!

"Space-Time Anchoring... Completed!"

Chonghe Xuan Immortal senses the deadweight of space being thoroughly locked down.

And those omnipresent, mind-maddening, thought-distorting reverse time flow and fragments, a triumphant smile appears on his face.

He sends a divine thought towards the abyssal chaos: "Bait unleashed!"

...

At the edge of the Void Divine Realm, the violent time-space turbulence, like an unending meat grinder, shreds everything attempting to approach.

However, beyond this curtain of death.

At a piece of relatively "stable" shattered floating land, several thousand miles from the true annihilation array "Space-Time Anchor."

In the center of the floating land, a region emitting an intense emerald green glow stands prominently.

Within the glow, plants of peculiar form with astonishing life fluctuations are faintly visible.

There is "Star Dome Grass," with a body like jade, its leaves adorned with patterns of sun, moon, and stars; there is "Nirvana Phoenix Flame Flower," rooted in the void, its blossoms like burning nine-colored flames.

There’s also "Ten Thousand Years Sky Blue Vine," its branches twisted like dragons, with dew-like droplets condensing on its leaves.

The rich medicinal fragrance ignores the barriers of space, drifting in strands and wisps, enough to drive any Alchemy Grandmaster mad.

Since it’s bait, it must be real, or if fake, many wouldn’t be fooled easily; even a Human Immortal could discern the difference.

The two baits complement each other, the medicinal fragrance blends with space fluctuations, forming a peculiar and deadly tempting "treasure land" at the edge of the Void Divine Realm.

In Fuxi City, a dim chamber reserved for outer realm affairs handlers.

The candlelight flickers, illuminating the slightly excited and greedy face of a middle-aged handler. His name is Zhou Tong, his cultivation only at Returning to Void, yet he secured a lucrative position in charge of external intelligence due to family connections.

At this moment, he is fondling an ancient jade talisman recently discovered among a batch of "unexpected" confiscated Abyssal resources. The jade talisman material is ordinary, but inside it is inscribed with ancient secret runes containing a piece of information:

"At the edge of the Void Divine Realm, there appears the suspected relic of an Ancient Medicine Garden, with medicinal fragrance soaring to the skies, suspected appearances of the Star Dome Grass and Nirvana Phoenix Flame Flower."

"Additionally, there are Grotto Heaven Fragments, likely a top-notch Grotto Heaven Fragment akin to a top-tier bounty within the Human Emperor Palace, the Agricultural Time Grotto Heaven."

"Star Dome Grass, Nirvana Phoenix Flame Flower, Grotto Heaven Fragments?" Zhou Tong’s hands tremble.

These divine objects, only found in legends, acquiring any of them would allow him to rise instantly.

The ’Agricultural Time Fragment’ is still a bounty task of a major figure within the Human Emperor Palace; he certainly can’t break through to True Immortal, not to mention even if breaking through, the Fire Cloud Grotto would host him.

If he can benefit from this, even connect with that major figure, he would be hugely profited.

At the same time, within a corner of a loose cultivator tavern in Fuxi City, a boisterous gathering.

A loose cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage, reeking of alcohol, is boasting to a few table companions: "Hey, you haven’t seen it! At the edge of the Void Divine Realm, treasure light soars! The medicinal fragrance can be smelled from far away, probably an Ancient Divine Medicine maturing.

And those Grotto Heaven Fragments, tsk tsk, look just like top-tier Grotto Heaven Fragments, seemingly related to Healing."

His voice is loud, quickly drawing discreet glances from spies of different factions.

This loose cultivator is one of the "mouthpieces" secretly controlled by the Yuqing Dao Lineage.

The Yuqing Dao Lineage naturally wants Shen Fei to know this information, and for this bait, they made numerous preparations to gather things Shen Fei wants.

They even paid a great price for some rather secret information.
