Chapter 439: Void Mark

~15 min read 2,824 words

As a spectator, Su Ping saw the appearance of these three halos, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

As a Second Primordial Spirit Avatar protected by the Jianmu Divine Tree, this avatar of Su Ping still possessed keen insight.

He could see that the Barrier divine abilities unleashed by the three top Ninth Stage Great Abilities of the Three Great Alliances all incorporated the power of multiple Innate Supreme Treasures.

Any one of these barriers should have been able to seal a Ninth Stage Great Ability of the same cultivation realm.

But that was only when the opponent became a Shitai of Decay.

Under the three-layered barrier, the body of this Shitai of Decay suddenly turned into a lump of clay, much like plasticine.

Then its body shape mutated, shockingly transforming from a xenomorph into three spikes covered in barbed fluff.

The first spike crashed into the red light, actually smashing a crack into it.

Afterward, the second spike transformed into a streak of light, escaped through the crack, and immediately returned to its original form to crash into the second barrier.

Following closely, the third barrier, handled in the same manner, was also struck by a spike and inevitably developed cracks.

The three top Great Abilities were not surprised by this; the moment the xenomorph mutated, they had already released their connection to the barriers to avoid being spread to and infected by the power of decay.

And at the moment the barriers were about to shatter.

The Sword Immortal of the Dao Alliance sacrificed a small crimson sword.

The Buddha Venerable of the Buddha Alliance took out a golden leaf.

The True Dragon of the Demon Alliance spat out a Dragon Pearl.

Then, these three Innate Supreme Treasures erupted with dazzling radiance, shooting out three divine lights that struck the spikes within the barriers with lightning speed.

Boom!

A white Sun appeared once again.

Because he was close by, Su Ping could also feel the terrifying pressure and high temperature brought by this newly born Sun.

Judging by the momentum and power, this combined attack already felt like a super-yield nuclear explosion.

And compared to a nuclear explosion where the absolute destruction zone is only a small distance, wasting massive amounts of energy.

This white Sun was constrained by some kind of divine ability, and the entire sphere, over ten thousand miles in diameter, was a zone of nuclear destruction.

Even the body of an Immortal would be ignited and burned to ashes within this zone.

However, under such power, although the aura of the Shitai of Decay weakened, it was protected by the power of decay.

As its body was ignited, new flesh immediately grew to compensate.

Amidst constant destruction and rebirth, it forcibly withstood the power of this white Sun and charged out of the coverage area.

"Amitabha! Fellow Daoists, please strike quickly."

It was at this moment that, while the Duomu Buddha Venerable exerted his full strength to strike out a golden palm print, his voice resounded throughout the surrounding Shikong Haiyu:

"We must not let the Shitai of Decay get close to the Space-Time Torrent or the vicinity of the vortex, otherwise this battle will fall short of success again!"

Hearing this, Su Ping's heart stirred.

It seemed this was not the first time the Three Great Alliances had intercepted this Shitai of Decay, and they had even let it escape.

However, Su Ping, having seen the situation, expressed his understanding.

The abilities of the Shitai of Decay were just as disgusting as evil power.

Normal Cultivators must be wary of being infiltrated and contaminated when encountering it.

Coupled with its powerful vitality, it seemed as if it were cheating, possessing infinite Dharma Power and infinite life.

Those Ninth Stage Great Abilities truly could not exert even seven or eight tenths of their full strength when fighting this guy.

Furthermore, the level of the Dark Catastrophe's power of decay did indeed suppress the power of the divine abilities guided by the Innate Supreme Treasures.

That the Shitai of Decay could perform as it did was indeed unexpected, yet within reason.

The Cultivators of the Xuanling World could be considered fortunate.

Many Cultivators, struck by a flash of inspiration, specifically left the Xuanling World and ran to the port side, calming their minds to perceive the aura fluctuations of the vast battlefield in the distance.

Those were the divine ability fluctuations of beings who were at least Great Vehicle experts.

Even if they were currently clueless about it, they all forced themselves to memorize it as a family heirloom.

Who knew when they or their descendants might be able to comprehend some divine ability or cultivation technique from it?

In the Cultivation World, Cultivators who successfully gained insights from traces left by experts could be recognized by the other party as a successor of a later generation.

Although their status was not as high as a Personal Disciple, they could still leverage the reputation to gain many benefits on their future path of cultivation.

"Daoist, please strike quickly!"

On the battlefield, seeing the Shitai of Decay transform again, its entire body turning into a sphere wrapped in a dark green halo, and then, carrying the impact, it was about to approach the defensive area on Su Ping's side.

Su Ping heard the request of the Duomu Buddha Venerable.

Su Ping no longer remained a bystander, his figure flashing to appear in the path of the Shitai of Decay.

Then.

This Primordial Spirit Avatar of Su Ping suddenly erupted with dazzling Jianmu Divine Light.

A lifelike phantom of the Jianmu Divine Tree, hundreds of thousands of meters tall, appeared in an instant.

The resulting Yuanling of divine light caused the surrounding Cultivators to retreat, either voluntarily or involuntarily.

"So strong!"

"Is this the Yuanling power that a Dao Integration Cultivator can unleash?"

"What Dao Integration? This is clearly that divine tree acting through this person's body!"

"Hiss... This divine tree is much friendlier than the sacred objects of our sects; it is actually willing to help without waiting for a life-or-death crisis!"

Seeing the might of the Jianmu Divine Light eruption, many Cultivators of the Three Great Alliances felt envious, jealous, and hateful.

At the same time, under the illumination of the Jianmu Divine Light, a Mark appeared on Su Ping's forehead.

This was a divine Seal condensed from the essence of the Jianmu Divine Light.

Although there was the blessing of Jupiter, limited by the realm of the main body, it originally could not cause damage to the Ninth Stage realm.

But as a wisp of Divine Power from the Void Sovereign of the Xukong Shengdian entered the Mark.

Hum!

This "&"-shaped Mark emitted a translucent white light.

And after leaving the center of Su Ping's brows, it tore through the Void, crossing hundreds of thousands of miles of space in an instant.

It appeared right in front of the speeding Shitai of Decay, and instantly imprinted itself onto its body.

Causing the spherical Shitai of Decay to come to a sudden halt.

Then, ignoring the pursuit and attacks coming from all directions, it transformed back into its alien form.

Sharp-eyed Great Abilities immediately discovered that a silver-white "&" Mark had emerged on the forehead of the Shitai of Decay.

This Mark emitted a faint light, appearing inconspicuous on the hundred-meter-tall alien body.

Yet it exerted an effect far more useful than the Secret Techniques and divine abilities unleashed by the Great Ability cultivators of the Great Vehicle and Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Causing the Shitai of Decay to clutch its head with both hands, revealing feelings of pain in front of the cultivators for the first time.

Hum!

The Shitai of Decay shook violently, green lines overflowing from its body in an attempt to drill into the location of the brow Mark.

A blurry, oval-shaped phantom even emerged upon its body.

The moment this phantom appeared, the incoming attacks all suddenly stagnated and slowed down.

At this instant, the Mark suddenly trembled.

The approaching green lines suddenly stopped.

The decaying gaze that looked over saw the Void Sovereign within the silver-white Mark.

Then, with a "Crack!", the surrounding space appeared to have exaggerated traces, as if a mirror had shattered.

The phantom and the green lines vanished together, as if they had never been seen at all!

Following closely, under the eyes of everyone, the Jianmu Divine Light was swallowed like a whale, sinking into the Mark from Su Ping's Primordial Spirit Avatar.

Then, the moment those external Secret Techniques were about to approach, it flashed along with a certain ripple.

Regardless of whether it was an attack launched by a Great Vehicle or a Heavenly Immortal, it was shockingly sucked into the Mark as well.

It was as if that tiny Mark contained a black hole!

Buddha light, Daoist arts, demonic arts, and divine light unleashed by various Innate Supreme Treasures.

Were all actually taken into the Mark.

Then, in the eyes of the dumbfounded cultivators.

The Mark suddenly bloomed with a blinding white light.

The next instant!

This Void Mark exploded completely.

Creating a patch of twisted, pitch-black Void in its place.

That was a pitch-black space where not a single bit of light or Spirit Qi would appear.

Just by glancing at it, it caused cracks to appear in the mental states of some cultivators whose foundations were not so stable.

They had no choice but to lower their heads and continuously recite cultivation scriptures.

The twisted Void lasted for about seven or eight breaths of time.

The scope involved was relatively small.

It was only a sphere with a diameter of one thousand meters.

Far inferior to the range affected by a casual strike from the Great Abilities.

However, no one dared to underestimate this move because of that.

Because after the influence of this twisted Void disappeared.

The aura of the Shitai of Decay also completely dissipated.

Even the pollution vanished into thin air, with no need for the High Monks of Fomen to come and clean up.

Su Ping himself also felt at this instant that as the Shitai of Decay was killed by him.

He had suddenly received the favor of this world.

His intuition told him that he had gained the status of being blessed by fortune.

As long as he was in this North King Time Domain, whatever he did would be smoother than before.

"This..."

"This kind of method is not a Secret Technique of yours, Daoist, is it?"

Buddha Venerable Duomu recited an Amitabha, looked at Su Ping, and took the initiative to ask.

He did not use the Secret Language.

Su Ping also understood the meaning behind it; this question from the other party was also the doubt held by most cultivators of the Three Great Alliances.

Su Ping did not mind pulling on the tiger's skin a bit more for himself.

He nodded and generously admitted:

"That Mark was formed by a wisp of Divine Power bestowed by a certain Sovereign of my Salvation Lineage."

"To be honest, even I did not know that after absorbing enough Jianmu Divine Light and the divine abilities of you Daoists, this Mark could erupt with such power."

After speaking, Su Ping's Primordial Spirit Avatar extended his right hand with a calm expression.

After the fair palm gently opened.

A wisp of formless and traceless Divine Power sat in his palm, emitting a faint white light.

Those who were curious observed that Su Ping had no dissatisfied reaction and cautiously used their divine sense to sense that wisp of Divine Power.

Suddenly, a burst of coughing and low exclamations spread through the groups of the Three Great Alliances.

"Dominator Divine Power?"

"So profound, so vast..."

"From it, one seems to see a vast heaven and earth far, far broader than the North King Time Domain."

"The previous guess was wrong; is the other party not an Avatar of some old fogey from the Dao Alliance, but someone from another Time Domain?"

"Or perhaps an existence even more powerful than the North King Time Domain?"

Some Great Abilities who knew a thing or two also had stunned expressions.

Muttering to themselves:

"It's actually true? This Salvation Lineage really comes from the outer domains?"

"I had thought this was just some excuse the other party used to hide their identity."

Some Great Abilities also vaguely discerned the shadow of this Salvation Lineage behind various major events from before.

But having just seen the Decay Shitai, who had them at their wits' end, taken down by the other party in a single strike.

And with it being clear that he still had trump cards remaining in his hand.

They all wisely chose to remain silent now.

…………

After Su Ping's Primordial Spirit Avatar brought out a strand of accumulated Void Divine Power.

The Cultivators of the Three Great Alliances all began to celebrate the smooth conclusion of this operation.

The top Great Abilities of the Three Great Alliances also proactively came to show goodwill and presented gifts of immense value.

Buddha Venerable Duomu even went beyond reimbursing the Spirit Stones Su Ping requested, gifting an extra large package of Spirit Stones.

Su Ping naturally accepted this with a smile.

And reached an agreement with the other party.

Opposing the Dark Catastrophe is everyone's responsibility; if they encounter a Shitai again, Su Ping can also help.

After all, Su Ping does not mind having more luck.

With more luck, there are benefits for his own subsequent breakthroughs.

Of course, the Spirit Stones that are due cannot be missing.

About an incense stick of time later.

The Immortal Boat Fleets of the Three Great Alliances dispersed.

However, some Great Abilities without urgent matters did come to the Xuanling World.

They were all interested in the Salvation Lineage.

And after arriving in the Xuanling World.

Seeing the good items in the Auction, they naturally would not be stingy with Spirit Stones.

Even those who were short on funds would immediately contact their own sects or family disciples to have Spirit Stones sent over.

And with these Great Abilities acting as living advertisements.

More and more cultivation sects and families outside the Xiayu learned the news of the Xuanling World.

Regardless of their various motives, as long as they came to the Xuanling World, they would more or less spend quite a bit, leaving behind a large amount of Spirit Stones.

Then these Spirit Stones were taken by Su Ping and used in more useful places, allowing more and more planets in the Water Blue Star World to have artificial Spirit Veins, becoming Small Worlds that came alive with Spirit Qi.

And then becoming a part of Su Ping's Dao Integration.

Every period of time, a small planet would be successfully devoured, becoming a star in the shining constellation pattern within the Sun Moon Star Chart.

One month after Su Ping's Second Primordial Spirit Avatar revealed his trump card and intimidated the Three Great Alliances.

Buddha Venerable Duomu appeared in the Xuanling World once again.

Having restrained his divine abilities and Dharma Power, Buddha Venerable Duomu looked just like an ordinary High Monk.

Except for the multiple pairs of tightly closed eyes on his head.

He was welcomed by Deacon Xiahou and brought to a guest room to wait.

Buddha Venerable Duomu took a sip of the served Spirit Tea, feeling the various flavors mixed into the tea.

This was a mixed Spirit Tea that had become popular in the Xuanling World, using many strange mundane items to concoct all sorts of peculiar tastes.

Buddha Venerable Duomu only took one sip before losing interest, turning instead to close his eyes and wait quietly.

Yet, in his heart, he was full of curiosity about the Salvation Lineage of the Xuanling World.

During this month.

The Three Great Alliances had all investigated the other party's background.

The results could not be called empty-handed, but they could only be called meager.

The divination arts that each house excelled in all failed when encountering this Salvation Lineage.

Some Daoists even nearly suffered a Qi deviation.

By now, more than a month had passed, and all they could discover was that the other party should have clashed with the Supreme Mother God.

Additionally, the appearance of the Abyss was suspected to be related to the other party's appearance.

After all, the timing was truly too coincidental.

It was hard not to suspect whether the Abyss had chased the other party all the way to this North King Time Domain.

Unfortunately, the other party had been speaking in riddles with the Three Great Alliances, responding to every probe with all sorts of riddles.

Leaving them with strength they had nowhere to exert.

"Hmm?"

Buddha Venerable Duomu was just calculating various possibilities.

Suddenly, he felt a familiar aura appear once again.

He could not help but open his eyes and stand up.
