Chapter 911 - 847: Fear Stems From an Inadequate Sea of Consciousness

The Artifact Spirit’s huffing appearance made the old Taoist suddenly pause.

He was incredibly astonished. Han Yu didn’t seem this irritable!

"Master!"

Mu Zili finally spoke with a helpless expression.

Goodness, there were two living people here, one Spirit Body, yet his master looked at the Spirit Body first and missed out on his own disciple.

The old Taoist then indeed turned to look at his two disciples, already astonished, his gaze grew even more bewildered.

"How did you come here?"

"Hurry and leave! If Di Liuxin discovers you, none of you will be able to escape."

The old Taoist hurriedly urged them, and upon seeing the two remain unmoved, his expression grew more urgent.

The Artifact Spirit rolled its eyes and retorted, "You should take care of yourself first! How can someone of your age still get imprisoned?"

It was evidently still holding a grudge against the old Taoist’s earlier words, its tone full of mockery.

Mu Zili showed a headache-inducing expression, thinking that Han Yu was somewhat reliable, yet how could this guy with the same face be so unreliable.

Even here, they could start arguing.

He quickly interjected, "We can explain later, we’re here to rescue you."

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist shook his head and sighed, "You can’t save me, these stone pillars..."

He wanted to say that these stone pillars were infused with power, not easy to destroy, and if they used too much force, it would cause a huge commotion.

In this situation, it’s extremely difficult to rescue him.

It would be better to retreat the way they came before being discovered.

But he never had the chance to finish, because the Artifact Spirit acted.

The three of them only saw it make a gesture of holding something in its hand, the next moment it made a slashing motion at one of the stone pillars.

A silent ripple quickly spread, and the stone pillar visibly began to slightly shake, continuously emitting a buzzing tremor.

The group could even feel the power contained within was continuously dissipating!

Except for the old Taoist, the other two saw this method for the first time, each showing an expression of astonishment.

"Is this an ability or Dharma Aspect?"

Mu Zili couldn’t help but ask.

Precisely because he couldn’t understand what the Artifact Spirit was using, but his intuition told him, this ability was quite terrifying.

Chen Xixi’s eyes gleamed, her insatiable curiosity became intrigued again.

"Can I learn this?"

"You can’t!"

The Artifact Spirit answered without turning its head.

It even rolled its eyes at her, "Wanting to learn everything will only harm you."

It wasn’t as agreeable as Han Yu.

The old Taoist saw at a glance that this was the ability Han Yu used to destroy the grindstone earlier, after his initial surprise, his expression turned peculiar.

This kind of method had almost surpassed the realm of abilities and Dharma Aspects, giving him the feeling it was more of a rule-based power.

Even in terms of power level, it felt higher than words shaping reality!

Yes, the old Taoist determined this method was of a higher tier than words shaping reality.

It’s not boasting; words shaping reality isn’t weak, considering it could replace any of the Four Extremes Hall, how could such a method be weak?

Precisely because it’s not weak and precisely because the old Taoist has delved into words shaping reality for a thousand years, he could ascertain, this was the power of rules.

The reason was simple, words shaping reality was also so.

As the old Taoist was lost in his thoughts, the first stone pillar suddenly exploded into dust, its essence completely stripped away.

The commotion was indeed significant.

In the first moment, four figures rushed in simultaneously. When the two sides saw each other, the other side’s expression first changed.

"You dare come back to rescue!"

One of the cultivators shouted, and after speaking, already acted, a grand momentum surged forward.

"Hurry and leave!"

The Artifact Spirit retrieved West River Slash, with one of the four stone pillars already destroyed, the binding power vanished instantly, the old Taoist regained his freedom, rushing out at the first opportunity.

"No one can leave!"

Another cultivator acted instantly, the door behind them slammed shut!

Qionghua Hall had no way out.

The Artifact Spirit, having just retrieved West River Slash, immediately turned dark-faced, gritting its teeth.

"Damn it, you’re forcing my hand."

Its small body suddenly soared into the air, a blaze of fire enveloped it instantly, the next moment, the overwhelming force flew out toward the front.

...

Di Liuxin was also frantically using various means, having finally managed to damage Han Yu’s Dharma Aspect significantly, he was thinking he could finally deal with Han Yu.

However, Han Yu gave a strange smile, waved his hand, and a new Dharma Aspect emerged.

"Aren’t you afraid of overexerting and dying in my hands!"

Di Liuxin’s chest heaved in anger. Good grief, such a large Dharma Aspect could still come out after damage, just how much power did this guy have?

Hearing this, Han Yu glanced at his Sea of Consciousness, it seemed he could endure until the opponent despaired.

"Then why did you carry the Dharma Aspect and run just now?"

Di Liuxin had a dark face, thinking that Han Yu couldn’t sustain it, otherwise, why would he use various means so recklessly?

"Nonsense, if you weren’t chasing, why would I run?"

Han Yu said as if it was the most logical thing.

He feared Di Liuxin would try to kill him forcefully, but wasn’t afraid of him attacking his Dharma Aspect.

If Di Liuxin had been attacking the Dharma Aspect while chasing, Han Yu would still have had to run with the Dharma Aspect.

That made so much sense.

But it was even more infuriating.

"If it really won’t work, call Jiang Xinyuan over."

Han Yu was still not giving up, continuing to speak.

This wasn’t the first time he tried to provoke him. Di Liuxin wasn’t stupid, after mulling it over, his expression suddenly changed.

"Are you teaming up with Yama Hall?"

This isn’t him speculating without reason; Han Yu has done this before. This time, he repeatedly tried to draw him and Jiang Xinyuan away.

For a moment, the more Di Liuxin thought about it, the more complex it became; he had already imagined the image of the stone platform being besieged by Yama Hall.

"You’re really calculating!"

Di Liuxin gritted his teeth.

"No, I don’t understand what you’re saying."

Han Yu was instantly puzzled; did the other party discover something or not?

The next moment, Di Liuxin withdrew quickly and hurried towards the direction of the stone platform.

"Wait, you’re not going to kill me anymore?"

Han Yu was anxious; Jiang Xinyuan wasn’t lured out, and Di Liuxin was about to leave.

Mu Zili would be in trouble, and who knows if the Artifact Spirit had sensed Jiang Xinyuan’s presence and stopped its plan.

This guy is smaller than him, probably not so brave.

Thinking of this, Han Yu couldn’t help but feel relieved, but Di Liuxin couldn’t just let him leave.

...

"Is it really so brave?"

Chen Xixi and Mu Zili had already retreated to one side, unable to do anything else.

The Artifact Spirit’s attacks were almost indiscriminate, with a sea of fire swirling around the entire hall; countless stone figures charged at the four, followed by huge explosions.

Golden light shot out continuously; although it wasn’t as sharp as Han Yu’s, it covered a wide range.

Countless thorns appeared out of thin air, whipping at the four repeatedly.

The remaining Water Divine Power transformed into huge ice cones, falling continuously from the dome.

For a time, the Five Elements Divine Techniques intermingled within the vast palace, really blocking the four.

"It isn’t Han Yu!"

The old Daoist suddenly spoke, his face extremely complex, only now recognizing the difference between the Artifact Spirit and Han Yu.

He had dealt with Han Yu many times before, seen his Divine Techniques, none so crude as this.

With such poor casting, they probably didn’t need to do anything but defend and wait for the power to be exhausted to easily kill the opponent.

Coincidentally, this was just what the four had in mind; the Five Elements Divine Techniques seemed powerful, but were too chaotic, without producing effective strikes.

If they wanted to defend, there was little problem.

No need for hard fighting, then.

But after a while, the four’s expressions turned odd, as they saw no signs of fatigue from the small Spirit Body.

Another while passed, and the odd expression intensified.

Doesn’t this guy get tired?

Tired? It’s nonexistent; the Artifact Spirit is thrilled, indeed all fears stem from insufficient Sea of Consciousness power.

Han Yu’s joy it understood; setting aside the drawbacks that almost drove him to life and death before, the vast Sea of Consciousness let it indulge in casting all Divine Techniques to its heart’s content.

The whole palace shook continuously; not every part was imbued with power, and naturally, with Divine Fire burning and other Divine Techniques clashing, this disturbance was enough to ruin parts.

Soon, the outer edges of the Taoist Hall began to show damage, and as the Divine Fire continued burning, the damage increased, eventually rendering the whole hall unrecognizable.

Even so, the Artifact Spirit still didn’t stop; it was too enthusiastic now.

But Mu Zili’s expression gradually turned serious.

The four figures ultimately hadn’t suffered much damage; even the Artifact Spirit’s Divine Techniques merely blocked them without having any effect.

This situation would end unfavorably; thinking of this, he already spoke with Chen Xixi.

"Get ready to act."

Indeed, in the end, they must take matters into their own hands.

The four’s expressions grew extremely perplexed; how long has it been, and it hasn’t stopped?

Does this Spirit Body have endless power?

"No more waiting, break through directly!"

Someone couldn’t hold out anymore, impatiently speaking.

"At most it’ll cost some effort."

Likewise, someone echoed.

"If this Taoist Hall continues to be destroyed, it will be hard to answer for."

Someone couldn’t help reminding, based on Di Liuxin’s temperament, even with such damage they’d likely be held accountable.

It can’t wait anymore.

At the same time, the four acted in unison, revealing four Dharma Aspects twenty zhang tall, charging towards the sea of fire.

Scalding!

Why isn’t it working?

The Artifact Spirit naturally was startled, quickly ramping up its attacks, but the power it could exert was ultimately limited.

If it faced a Divine Platform Realm cultivator, it could indeed wreak havoc.

But when facing opponents of Chang Gen’s level, it suddenly felt insufficient.

Mu Zili shouted explosively, "Act!"

Multicolored light rippled, scattering immediately, complemented by nearby Divine Techniques.

Chen Xixi’s expression instantly turned solemn; once the twin lotus Dharma Aspect appeared, it rapidly bloomed.

Lotus leaves fell off one by one, imitating Mu Zili’s multicolored light and the Artifact Spirit’s Divine Techniques, each leaf harboring a mimicry power, turning the entire scene even more dazzling.

The old Daoist furrowed his brows and also advanced.

His approach was simple; after several dry coughs.

"Fall within seven steps."

"Within twenty breaths suffer unbearable abdominal pain!"

At the same time, the old Daoist used his always-hidden pill ability, surrounding his allies with a mysterious aura.

Fortune, an intangible thing; borrow heavenly fortune for temporary prosperity.

Side effect, three days of misfortune afterward.

This was the only approach the old Daoist could think of.

To escape, it’s left to luck.

And now, he just happened to have luck to borrow.
