Chapter 987: Central Continent Must Respond

Chapter 987: Chapter 923: Central Continent Must Respond

“I knew it was this damned thing leading me astray.”

With every point made by the Artifact Spirit, a mysterious aura shot out like lightning.

The Dharma Aspect that was struck suddenly froze, as if trapped in endless chaos.

“What is going on?”

Dragging his weary body, Xia Wuyou gathered with the other six and hid behind the Artifact Spirit, hesitating while looking at those Dharma Aspects in an odd state.

The reaction shouldn’t be like this even if hit.

The next moment, the frozen Dharma Aspect shattered into light spots and scattered.

The Artifact Spirit instinctively reached into its pocket but came up empty-handed.

What the hell?

Nothing given?

This thing doesn’t count as a living being?

Seems like it, just a Dharma Aspect monster!

This technique of the Artifact Spirit was like fire cooking oil, sweeping away those few Dharma Aspects and instantly aroused the anger of all the Dharma Aspects.

So much so, the Dharma Aspects moved in unison, Mu Zili’s Five Qi couldn’t even pull them.

Nearly eighty Dharma Aspects attacked simultaneously, destructive thunder flashed, transforming into a Thunder Pool that emerged, filling a void with lightning.

In an instant, it covered the sky and earth, leaving no gap.

“Resist with all your might.”

Mu Zili didn’t expect the Artifact Spirit’s move to cause such great hatred, immediately the Five Qi spanned the sky, continuously hitting the thunder, swiftly entangled by rules.

But this time, he had no chance to collect them one by one; such a large Thunder Pool barely touched, only to collect a part before being destroyed.

The Artifact Spirit’s fingers kept pointing, but were blocked by lightning, causing a disturbance in the rules against the Thunder Pool.

Although a hole was broken, it quickly repaired itself.

As for Xia Wuyou and the others, they had already acted independently.

The Three Curses were released, visibly making the Dharma Aspect’s form tremble, yet no pain was seen, the restraint sunk like a stone in the ocean.

Wang Ye spit endless heartburn, intersecting with the Thunder Pool, but instantly torn apart.

The remaining few kept attacking, but it was just a drop in the ocean.

Even resisting for a moment was difficult.

“If this damn guy dares to appear last in an old fashion, I swear I’ll curse him to death.”

The Artifact Spirit kept resisting, even using Divine Techniques simultaneously, throwing out various techniques without a thought.

The entire sky was turned upside down.

After cursing, the sea of fire suddenly changed, a phoenix rose within the Fire Domain, soared to the sky, and flew.

The next moment, it swooped down towards the Artifact Spirit, engulfed everyone swiftly, and took them away.

The heavens roared and exploded, rows of ancient trees arranged in the void, in a blink sealing this realm completely.

“This damned thing finally arrived.”

Inside the Fire Phoenix Dharma Aspect, the Artifact Spirit finally released a long breath.

The moment the Fire Phoenix appeared, it knew Han Yu had arrived.

Therefore, when the Fire Phoenix rushed in, it instructed everyone not to resist, just let it deploy its power.

Sure enough, the Fire Phoenix merely brought them a mile away and then quickly returned to the battlefield.

Within the ancient wood, the Fire Phoenix descended from the sky, flames and high temperatures, explosions continued.

Han Yu’s figure appeared atop the Fire Phoenix, breaking through the Dharma Aspect’s interception, wielded the West River Slash, scattering golden raindrops.

In just a moment, dozens of Dharma Aspects collapsed first, the remaining half already intended to escape.

“If Yama Hall can run, how can I let you escape?”

Han Yu suffered at the hands of the Faceless One before, not daring to underestimate these ghostly beings, waved his hand and let countless ancient trees fall again.

In an instant, the entire void became a cage, completely sealing off the area, blocking the monsters’ routes.

In the cage, the earth-shaking sound boomed, but after a moment, the ancient trees dispersed, revealing Han Yu’s figure.

With the Faceless Ones here first, how could he not be on guard against their escape?

Thus, the Celestial Dao Sect’s backup was instead swiftly eliminated by Han Yu.

After the reunion, the Artifact Spirit strangely reached into its pocket again, still empty.

“What’s going on? Why don’t these Dharma Aspects drop any pills.”

No cultivation given and even rules aren’t provided.

“Probably because Dharma Aspects aren’t living beings, right? The rules are distributed among them, not owned by them, likely impossible.”

Han Yu speculated.

“Earlier, I cut down some Divine Technique monsters, did you receive any pills there?”

Then briefly talked about the Faceless One situation.

The Artifact Spirit shook its head heartily, truly nothing, if Han Yu hadn’t mentioned, it wouldn’t even know about it.

So, the Faceless One also isn’t a living being?

Mu Zili at this moment didn’t focus on the pills, rather more on the methods on both sides.

“Did you say the Yama Hall has made its move?”

It’s the Faceless Ones.

“The Celestial Dao Sect is also starting to vie for the rules.”

“Both sides have begun to act, so we must speed up our progress. I have to return to the Endless Sea Domain.”

The situation can’t be explained in a few words; he needs to communicate face-to-face with Quan Xiaotong to figure out what to do next.

Han Yu naturally had no objections. There’s no way he could compete against so many things alone, even if he could kill them, there were just too many of these ghostly things!

To speak shamelessly, right now, he truly was one man against two sides.

Or rather, the Central Continent is now truly facing two forces head-on.

There’s no way to retreat.

Nor can they retreat.

If they retreat, the Central Continent would really be finished.

“Then you all should return as well.”

“And you, help bring the pills back.”

Han Yu spoke to the Artifact Spirit, realizing he couldn’t possibly rush back himself.

Having wandered the Central Continent for about six days, Ping silently gave him the pills.

However, he was too busy to bother with them.

These pills might defy the heavens, but they were still inadequate for the current situation.

Ping could not provide a pill for Ascension in One Step, only potential.

But there obviously wasn’t enough time for slow development now, so his expectations for these pills weren’t high.

If they were given enough time, perhaps these pills could slowly cultivate a group of heaven-defying cultivators.

But not now; Ping’s pills couldn’t adapt to the current grand situation.

Instead, the pills refined from the cultivation seized through the West River Slash proved more useful.

“Have Quan Xiaotong distribute them; there’s probably no time for every cultivator to get Ping’s pills.”

Han Yu advised.

The best method is to take the elite route, making the most out of these scarce pills.

The Artifact Spirit reluctantly plunged into the Sea of Consciousness, then quickly emerged and fled towards the Endless Sea Domain with Mu Zili and others.

After completing these tasks, Han Yu’s token sounded again.

“Han Yu, hurry!”

…

When Ye Hei sent the message, he and the others were in the vicinity of Shuzhou Prefecture.

They didn’t possess great strength, so the range of their Heart Mirror Illusion Realm wasn’t extensive.

Progress was slow along the search route,

but it wasn’t entirely fruitless. Like now, in a certain valley, they found a rule hidden.

Luck was also on their side, for there were no signs of other cultivators here, nor any dangers.

By the time Han Yu hurriedly arrived, the group was still quietly watching the place.

He rushed all the way, fearing the group might casually encounter any one of the two sides’ backups.

Whether it be the Faceless Ones or the Dharma Aspect creatures, they were clearly beyond what these cultivators could handle.

If they were encountered, the danger would be immense.

After a silent sigh of relief, Han Yu descended swiftly, and Ye Hei quickly approached, getting straight to the point without unnecessary pleasantries.

“There’s a rule found here. Collect it quickly, so we can move on to other places to continue our search.”

Ye Hei and the others were also worried that Han Yu might not find the right spot, and since he was there, they decided to leave.

“You should all return once; Mu Zili and Quan Xiaotong will explain the details to you.”

Whether it’s enhancing strength or future arrangements, these people all need to return once.

He briefly mentioned the matter of the Faceless Ones and Dharma Aspect creatures, which the Central Continent surely needs to address too.

Continuing the search meant it was too easy to run into either side’s tricks.

The Central Continent would surely be at a disadvantage.

Even if the Faceless Ones and Dharma Aspect creatures were weak, they still had the strength of the Divine Dao Realm, which these Spirit Platform cultivators couldn’t possibly contend with.

Moreover, the Faceless Ones compared to the former Divine Technique creatures are even more disgusting and difficult, not to mention, each Dharma Aspect creature carried destructive rules of thunder.

Even if Xia Wuyou and their group encountered them, it would be just as deadly.

They had just gained the ability to refine pills through the West River Slash and were about to seize the momentum.

They hadn’t expected the Celestial Beings from both sides to hold this card in reserve.

It was never-ending.

“Or maybe it’s already at the point where the dagger meets the cloak; it’s time for motives to be exposed!”

Right now, it’s merely about seizing rules, waiting for that profligate Heavenly Dao to jump out and clean up the mess.

The most deceitful is still that profligate.

Damn, never shows up from start to end, huh!
