Chapter 1122: The Perilous Situation of the Great Void Sect

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Before the light from the ancient formation vanished completely, the bright mirror light was already before them.

The Tai Yi Holy Man, whose eyes were closed, stepped out. Above his head, there was a circular mirror.

The mirror had no frame nor support. It only dazzled with a light as bright as the moon and sun.

Even with Lin Feng’s current supernatural awareness, he found it difficult to sense the size of the mirror and its full powers. Superficially, it appeared to be only a few inches wide and was extremely small. However, one felt as if it was as vast as the heavens and could envelop the entire world.

The mirror hung in mid-air and looked ordinary. However, it was like the center of the universe. All creations are revolving around it, which served as the center.

Lin Feng could see a light shining out from the void, which lightly touched the edge of the mirror light.

The mirror light flashed suddenly and the other light trembled. Lin Feng could feel that the secrets of the universe were all begging to be heard at this very moment.

In the mirror light, all creations manifested. Everything was there.

This mystic and awe-inspiring power felt as if the entire Greater World was exerting a pressure on a target. Even a Vipralopa stage cultivator would submit.

Lin Feng could feel his Crucible of the Divine Lands trembling non-stop.

Zhu Yi could too feel his Higan Golden Bridge reacting to the Supreme Heavenly Mirror.

When Lin Feng saw the mirror, he nodded his head and said, “The Supreme Heavenly Mirror. Today, I finally see it with my own eyes. No account of its prowess can match up to a glimpse of it.”

“On my way here, I can feel the heaven and earth trembling. Is that caused by the Supreme Heavenly Mirror leaving Mount Baiyun? You, Tai Yi Holy Man, sensed that something was wrong and hence, left Mount Baiyun first. You are only slower than me by a step.”

However, the difference of this a step was huge.

The Tai Yi Holy Man looked at the ancient formation and the all-destructing light, which was about to blow up and disappear. There was nothing he and the Supreme Heavenly Mirror could do.

As the light faded, the scene appeared slightly lackluster and yet, it shook everyone who saw it.

In an instant, a radius of around ten thousand miles in the Barren Expanses disappeared completely. There was a deep canyon in the earth. Looking at it, it was all black.

Even the sand and granite there were completely gone, much less the living things that had been there. No one could see what lie in the heart of the canyon.

There was only a pitch-black canyon left in the earth. With the supernatural awareness of Lin Feng, the Tai Yi Holy Man and the Zheng Yi Holy Man, they could sense what was its bottom, which was the shattered pieces of space and time.

Void space at its bottom was still being destroyed.

However, in this giant canyon, there was not even a speck of dust left.

Above the canyon, the sky was shattered too. The blue sky and white clouds were completely gone and all one could see was the pitch-black void. There, one could see the constantly turning and twisting scars of space and time.

Heaven and earth were reduced to nothing by the formation. This scene was terrifying.

Zhu Yi and Wang Lin furrowed their brows tightly. If they were in the formation, even with the Higan Golden Bridge, they would be unable to escape it because the Qing Yi Holy Woman was controlling it. They would most likely be sent to the Black Sea.

Lin Feng’s gaze followed the destroyed void space. He could feel that there was a path that led from the place where the ancient formation formerly was.

This was not a real path. On that ‘path’, void space was constantly being destroyed. Entire chunks of it were carved out. It would take a long time to recover.

As one looked down the ‘path’, Lin Feng, with his control and understanding over the changes in space and time, could sense a boundless and flashing golden sea giving off a black light.

The Tai Yi Holy Man’s two eyes were closed. He too ‘looked’ in that direction. His face was expressionless, and he said nothing.

The Supreme Heavenly Mirror above his head shone brighter and brighter.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man’s face turned green. Other than the battle against the Ancient Satanic Sect in the Middle Ages, the Great Void Sect had never suffered such huge losses in a battle against another human sect.

“Go immediately, there may still be hope,” said Lin Feng calmly, “I am in no rush.”

He placed his hands behind his back. Other than Mount Yujing, the Two Elements of Creation, the Thunder Dragon Avatar and the Crucible of the Divine Lands, the thing that made the Great Void Sect and the Supreme Heavenly Mirror fear him was above his head.

There, in the black void space, there was a black and white Qi pillar. It faded in and out of sight and emitted a heavy feel.

While one could not even tell if it was present, both the Tai Yi Holy Man and the Zheng Yi Holy Man frowned upon looking at it.

The Supreme Heavenly Mirror above the Tai Yi Holy Man’s head gave off a mystic light. The light appeared more concentrated as it shone on the black and white Qi pillar in the void.

Lin Feng arched his eyebrows and said plainly, “If you lose one person, then there’s still hope. If you lose people at once, do you even have enough Immortal Soul Third Level cultivators to cast your sect’s Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation?”

The Tai Yi Holy Man and the Zheng Yi Holy Man fell silent.

Without caring about the emotional aspects of things, the damage brought to the Great Void Sect from the imprisonment of the Qing Yi Holy Woman and company in the Black Sea was greater than the damage brought to Celestial Sect of Wonders had Zhu Yi and the rest been sent there.

Other than losing one-fourth of their top cultivators, another problem for the Great Void Sect was that they no longer had enough cultivators to cast the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation.

While they could ask weaker cultivators to stand in, it would affect the formation’s overall power.

Speaking from the heart, if 12 Immortal Soul First Level cultivators controlled the formation, the Great Void Sect’s Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation was still the most powerful formation in the entire Divine Lands.

However, as Mount Baiyun faced such a huge threat, there was an objective difference between having the Qing Yi Holy Woman and company around and if they were absent. This difference could shake up the equilibrium.

Furthermore, losing one-fourth of their most powerful cultivators was never acceptable to the Great Void Sect. Its powers were greatly reduced.

Just like how they were merciless when dealing with Zhu Yi and company, the dragons, who had a history of animosity with the Great Void Sect, would show no compassion when dealing with them.

Lin Feng started listing names, “Heaven’s Gate, the Ancient Satanic Sect, the Samsara Sect, the Yellow Springs Satanic Sect, the White Skeleton Sect, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect...”

“Oh right, there’s still the Ancient Longevity World. I don’t know what are your views on the Ancient Longevity World now? Are they an ally, or an ‘unstable power’?”

The Zheng Yi Holy Man slowly closed his eyes and said, “He is really Miao Shihao.”

The Great Void Sect could be said to be caught between a rock and a hard place.

If they did not enter the Black Sea with the Supreme Heavenly Mirror, the Qing Yi Holy Woman and company were doomed.

If they entered and Lin Feng went to Mount Baiyun, then they would be caught with their pants down.

“You don’t think this is the end, right?” Lin Feng said plainly.

“What do you want?” The Zheng Yi Holy Man asked.

Lin Feng pointed at the canyon in the Barren Expanses, formed from the destruction of the ancient formation, and said, “Don’t you want my sect to battle to the death against the dragons and trigger the next War of the Two Worlds?”

The Tai Yi Holy Man and the Zheng Yi Holy Man fell silent for a short while.

They understood Lin Feng perfectly. If the Great Void Sect did not want trouble from him, then they should carry on with their plan. However, the dragons would slay Great Void Sect cultivators instead of Celestial Sect cultivators.

Regardless whether it was the Great Void Sect or the Celestial Sect of Wonders, both were extremely powerful in the Divine Lands. A battle to the death against the dragons by members of either sect would surely trigger the next War of the Two Worlds. It would surely attract the attention of all-powerful cultivators in the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses and involve the entire Grand Celestial World.

Even though the Barren Expanses had not yet elected their new Holy Demonic Emperor and was not yet unified, the humans were not one monolithic bloc either. However, under threat, every human cultivator would take part to maximize their chances of survival.

The Great Void Sect did not want to be the sacrifices for the next war. However, a full-blown war between the dragons and the Great Void Sect would cripple them even further, causing them to lose control of the situation. They would be sucked into the vortex of war and they would lose control over the war’s developments.

After he understood the mentality of the Great Void Sect’s Ultraconservative Faction, Lin Feng knew that it was a possibility.

Standing between the heaven and earth, the black-and-white pillar of Qi above him was like a sword above the heads of the Tai Yi Holy Man and the Zheng Yi Holy Man.

“The Qing Yi Holy Woman and company deserve what they get. However, this is not an independent action by them but instead, part of our sect’s overall strategy, right?” Lin Feng said calmly. “In the next War of the Two Worlds, I can take into consideration the overall situation. If you care about the overall situation too, then we shall end it here. I won’t raise this issue after the war.”

“If not, there’s no need to return to Mount Baiyun. We can fight it out here. If demons wish to spectate our fight, I won’t mind.”

The Two Elements of Creation Formation expanded and enveloped Mount Yujing. At the same time, the Crucible of the Divine Lands started to expand ceaselessly and enveloped everywhere.

The black-and-white Qi pillar started to twist about. It looked as if it was able to disintegrate and a heaven-destroying killing aura could be felt.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Tai Yi Holy Man both trembled slightly. Now that there was only the two of them left and the Supreme Heavenly Mirror was not at its peak condition, they would be at a disadvantage should Lin Feng release the seal on his Heaven-Destroying Sword, his Bell of Destiny and Primal Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation.

A battle here would be worse than a battle in the Black Sea.

Without enough power, the Tai Yi Holy Man could not even launch a suicide attack with the Great Calamity.

However, if the Qing Yi Holy Woman and the rest perished in the Black Sea, that would bring about problems too.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man’s face turned black.

How long had it been since his Great Void Sect last encountered such a difficult situation?
