Chapter 503: The Deep Sea of All Living Beings

The Primordial Spirit Avatar of the King of Hell was completely dumbfounded this time.

Before coming, he had considered what kind of situation he might encounter and had made many guesses.

Yet he never imagined he would encounter such a situation, facing a great existence beyond the Dark Catastrophe!

In the presence of such a great existence.

The Primordial Spirit Avatar of the King of Hell knelt down without the slightest hesitation.

And he proactively opened his mind, expressing his submission to the Void Sovereign.

The other party's choice made Su Ping slightly surprised, though upon reflection, it was within reason.

This King of Hell was a veteran saint within the Holy Domain.

If he still possessed the will from before he became a saint—the unwillingness to be beneath others and the willingness to sacrifice everything to seek the Great Dao!

This King of Hell would not have persistently refused to take that final step.

Although the Dark Catastrophes had set an example, making the saints realize how terrible the consequences of pursuing the Great Dao could be.

However... giving up because of the dangers would also mean losing one's original self.

The King of Hell paid respects to the Void Sovereign, and from then on, a supreme Void Empress was added to his heart.

After saying everything he knew without reservation.

He returned to the Holy Domain with a pious expression.

As for whether the King of Hell would go back on his word after returning.

Su Ping was not worried.

Being able to obtain intelligence from such a veteran saint of the Holy Domain was already an unexpected joy.

Being able to have an extra secret agent was naturally excellent.

If it failed and the true body of the King of Hell destroyed his own Primordial Spirit Avatar.

Su Ping would not care.

However, the worst-case result did not occur.

Su Ping could feel that after the Primordial Spirit Avatar of the King of Hell returned home, the connection did not disappear.

It was just that the invitation for three days later was rejected by the other side.

In Su Ping's view, this Primordial Spirit Avatar should have been retracted into the body by that true body.

Only in this way could the subjective consciousness of the Primordial Spirit Avatar be prevented from emerging to respond to the invitation.

Yet the other party still kept this connection without cutting it off.

Clearly, this King of Hell was in a state of conflict.

His original heart was likely still inclined toward the Holy Domain.

It was just that after knowing there was an existence beyond the Dark Catastrophe level on the other side.

The true body of the King of Hell clearly also wanted to leave a way out for himself.

…………

Cultivation World, North King Time Domain, Dao Alliance headquarters.

In the Sanshisan Chongtian domain where the Butian Sect was located, the heaven and earth suddenly shook on this day.

The four great Heavenly Gates guarding the Sanshisan Chongtian.

At this moment, they actually split open from the middle at the same time.

The four great Heavenly Gates were one of the Dao Alliance's greatest trump cards in the Dao Realm.

Their status was similar to those Tathagata Bodhi Divine Trees in the Buddha Realm.

At this time, as these four great Heavenly Gates split apart simultaneously, the Dongtian world of the Dao Realm, which had been stable for tens of thousands of years, was actually tottering.

"What is going on!"

The Dao Sect Elders who were cultivating in Yaochi were all awakened, one after another rising into the air with surprised expressions.

"Could it be an attack by the Dark Catastrophe?"

A white-haired Elder who served as a high-ranking official in the Heavenly Court flew over from afar, his body radiating the aura of a senior Heavenly Immortal Realm.

In an instant, he stabilized the hearts of the Cultivators around him.

Seeing this white-haired old man, a middle-aged Daoist soon flew up, and after saluting, said:

"No pollution aura involving the Dark Catastrophe has been detected invading this realm."

"It looks like..."

This middle-aged Daoist hesitated for a moment, and under the stern gaze of the white-haired old man, he smiled bitterly:

"It is more like... a man-made disaster."

"Someone destroyed the core of the Array and used something we do not understand to cause the four great Heavenly Gates to malfunction."

"Outrageous!"

The white-haired old man was furious, opening his mouth to spit out a Green Precious Pearl that flew into the high sky, manifesting a round of green Mingyue to stabilize the tottering space.

Then, as this white-haired old man took out a Precious Sword, intending to preside over the great Array of the entire Dongtian world and attempt to regain the initiative with the help of the remaining power of the Array.

"Master, I am sorry."

A familiar voice suddenly rang in the white-haired old man's ears.

This voice made the white-haired old man shudder all over.

Immediately, the white-haired old man discovered the core of the earth vein deep beneath the Yaochi below him.

The Personal Disciple whom he had arranged to guard that place because of his trust.

Had actually taken out a pitch-black short thorn, piercing through layers of defensive Barriers in one strike, and stabbing into the core of the earth vein.

Causing the entire great Array to collapse once again.

This also caused the white-haired elder who had just chosen to preside over the Array to suffer a backlash from the formation.

In the blink of an eye, his entire body withered, resembling a skeleton wrapped in a layer of skin.

His white hair also fell out completely.

However, he was, after all, a veteran Heavenly Immortal of the Dao Sect.

Even in this state, he remained alive and was still able to urge the Innate Supreme Treasure in his hand to launch a counterattack.

The Precious Sword broke free from the elder's wrist, transformed into a flood dragon composed of green energy, and lunged downward.

Under the roar, the earth split open of its own accord, revealing the Personal Disciple deep underground.

Roar!

The green dragon opened its mouth wide, and just as it was about to swallow this disgrace to the sect in one gulp—

Immortal scripts emerged on the Personal Disciple's body.

Following that, a projection wearing the attire of an Emperor appeared in front of the Personal Disciple, meeting the lunging green dragon.

With a disdainful smile, this Emperor projection actually opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing the entire green dragon into his belly in one go!

"Hmm, a Supreme Treasure refined from the souls of twelve Great Vehicle flood dragons?"

"The technique is not bad, but unfortunately the quality of the raw materials is poor, and the taste is therefore a bit lacking."

The moment after the Emperor projection finished his evaluation, he appeared beside the elder.

He looked at the elder's expression of astonishment and uncertainty.

This Emperor looked around and sighed softly:

"Speaking of which, the Sanshisan Chongtian was actually planned and designed by me back when I helped your Emperor."

"This place can be considered a bit of my own hard work."

"Sigh, if only things hadn't changed."

"I had intended to let this Sanshisan Chongtian evolve for another few thousand or ten thousand years."

"After all, this place had a tiny seed of possibility to evolve into a Forbidden Land."

"But now, I am forced to harvest it early."

As the Emperor's phantom said this, he spread his hands wide.

In an instant, the entire realm turned dark and gloomy; amidst lightning and thunder, there were constant winds, hail, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

Even red lightning appeared, specifically to harvest the Divine Souls and lives of cultivators above the Golden Core stage.

The Green Precious Pearl that the white-haired elder had originally taken out to stabilize space—

Was also struck by a bolt of red lightning, instantly knocked back to its original form, and then sucked into the belly of the Emperor projection.

As for the other Dao Sect Elders and Great Abilities—

They wanted to join forces to strike, but discovered that as the white-haired elder lost his combat power, the remaining power of the Array in this Dongtian world had turned to target them instead.

This filled them with great alarm; one by one they turned to self-preservation, yet they still fell one after another.

Under the disaster, space also began to collapse.

From time to time, Space Cracks would appear, instantly sucking in any cultivators who could not dodge in time.

The entire Sanshisan Chongtian gradually transformed into a blood-colored space.

A Dao Sect Spirit Transformation cultivator desperately fled to the location of the Heavenly Gate amidst the natural disaster.

He saw that the crossbeam of the Heavenly Gate, which served as the entrance and exit, had snapped in the middle.

The space-time tunnel that had always existed had disappeared.

This cultivator, like the other cultivators who had rushed over, revealed an expression of despair.

Just at this moment.

Suddenly, a young cultivator shouted loudly:

"Wait, don't give up, we still have Hope!"

"I am the Sect Master of the Liuyun Sect; I have a Dharma Artifact bestowed by the Salvation Lineage on me that might be able to contact the Salvation Lineage!"

The Salvation Lineage was known to everyone in the North King Time Domain.

Upon learning that this young Sect Master had a way to make contact, the people around him revealed a glimmer of hope.

Some cultivators even impatiently took out their most prized treasures to protect him.

This young Sect Master took a deep breath.

In his heart, he actually had no certainty.

He had only followed the crowd to the Xuanling World to participate in an auction, and then met cultivators who claimed to be from the Salvation Lineage in a teahouse.

Then he participated in the Saviour Society with them and bowed to the statue of the Savior Heavenly Venerable.

He had also received a Wooden Tablet whose origins he could not discern.

As a Sect Master of a small sect within the Dao Alliance, he had actively chosen not to investigate it, thinking of it as finding a backup plan for himself.

Yet he did not expect that it would be time to use it so soon.

At this moment, the Liuyun Sect Master only hoped that this thing was truly useful, and that he hadn't encountered a clever swindler.

He channeled his Dharma Power and spoke the password according to his memory.

The Wooden Tablet was activated, emitting a fluctuation known as a Gravitational Wave.

These Wooden Tablets were miniaturized products that Su Ping had created after becoming the Galaxy Emperor, using Black Technology Gravitational Wave equipment as a prototype and incorporating supernatural techniques.

Su Ping had set up a large receiving station in the Xuanling World.

He had one of his Avatars stationed there at all times.

At this moment, he immediately detected the distress call from the Liuyun Sect Master.

Very quickly, Su Ping learned of the plight of the Dao Sect's Dongtian world.

At almost the same time, Su Ping also received a message from Tian Rulai.

It turned out that the Buddha Alliance was also experiencing sudden problems in such large Dongtian worlds and even in parts of the Buddha Realm itself, with internal and external communications cut off; it was feared that the situation was dire.

The Dao Alliance and the Buddha Alliance were both having problems at the same time.

The Demon Alliance would likely not fare well either.

And to be able to strike at the three strongest forces of the North King Time Domain simultaneously.

Su Ping did not need to guess to know that it must have something to do with the Holy Domain.

It was just that he had not expected them to act so quickly, and so ruthlessly and accurately.

Inside the Sanshisan Chongtian.

The body of the Emperor projection was now nearly physical.

Below him, that Personal Disciple and dozens of black-clad Cultivators were all half-kneeling on the ground, waiting for the Emperor projection to finish the harvest.

"What a pity, it was just a little bit away from producing a result."

At this moment, a grayish-white heart appeared in the hands of the Emperor projection.

This heart was also the core of the great array of this realm.

At this moment, the aura of the grayish-white heart was incomparably eerie.

Around the heart, one could seemingly see countless phantoms of wronged souls entwined, emitting silent howls.

Looking closely, those phantoms were all the Primordial Spirits of the Cultivators harvested in the Sanshisan Chongtian.

Among them was that white-haired Heavenly Immortal elder.

"Hmm?"

The Emperor projection put away the grayish-white heart, intending to end this feast.

He first noticed that a message had seemingly broken through the restrictions of the realm using a method he could not see through.

Following that, a certain premonition of crisis suddenly appeared.

This caused the Emperor projection to immediately let out a cold snort, and the aura on his body surged again.

It was as if one Avatar after another had been teleported over, strengthening the power of this clone.

Immediately following, the space in front of the Emperor projection suddenly shattered into a huge black hole.

And then, from within the black hole, Su Ping, in white robes and with an extraordinary bearing, stepped out.

Looking at the person before him.

White light flashed in the eyes of the Emperor projection.

He immediately hesitated for a moment, only to discover that the opponent was not the original body, but a Primordial Spirit Avatar.

He could not help but sneer:

"To be so arrogant as to send only a Primordial Spirit Avatar to try and stop this seat?"

"Hehehe."

The Su Ping Avatar smiled in the face of the enemy's questioning, and he swept a glance at the Sanshisan Chongtian, which was already on the verge of collapse.

He immediately knew that this Dongtian world was beyond saving.

The most important source object had already been taken away, and trying to continue to maintain stability would only result in losses exceeding gains.

As for the person who struck, Su Ping had also found the corresponding individual from the information provided by the black-clad men and that King of Hell Avatar.

It was one of the Sages qualified to reside in the Holy Palace within the Holy Domain, Longevity Immeasurable Venerable.

It was rumored that this Venerable was also one of the pioneers of the Daoist lineage, leaving behind a massive amount of Daoist heritage.

However, when it involved the interests of the Holy Domain, this sentiment of heritage became instead an opportunity for him to exploit.

"Arrogant!"

Longevity Immeasurable Venerable scolded, and with a wave of his large hand, tentacles of grayish-white light appeared all around.

In the blink of an eye, these tentacles crossed the long distance and rushed toward the Su Ping Avatar in the center of the black hole.

However, as soon as these tentacles approached the black hole, they were subjected to a tremendous attractive force, and not only their bodies, but even the time and space around their bodies were twisted and deformed by that attractive force, and then turned into fine, long strips that spiraled and disappeared into the black hole.

"A Holy Item?"

Seeing this scene, Longevity Immeasurable Venerable guessed the reason why the Su Ping Avatar was so confident.

Yet he laughed even more.

And then, the grayish-white heart, the source of this place which had originally disappeared, was summoned back by him.

After this grayish-white heart appeared, this Dongtian world immediately became blurry and illusory.

The Su Ping Avatar's heart stirred, and he perceived what the other party was doing, but he did not stop it.

Instead, he watched as the grayish-white heart cracked and turned into a ray of light that swept across the surroundings.

The next instant, the Su Ping Avatar, Longevity Immeasurable Venerable, and those surviving Cultivators.

All discovered at once that they had disappeared from where they were and appeared in a bizarre and kaleidoscopic space.

At first glance, this space seemed very similar to the Void of the Shikong Haiyu.

Likewise, there was no distinction between up, down, left, or right.

Only by sensing carefully could one discover that this region was enveloped by various halos.

There was no Time-Space Turbulence; in its place were long rivers composed of halos of various colors.

Cultivators above Dao Integration looked at those long rivers, and in the dark, they could feel that those long rivers were each a huge Time Domain.

Their hometown, the North King Time Domain, was also among these countless long rivers.

Some Dao Integration Cultivators felt their hearts stir at this, and sensing a great opportunity, they could not help but want to take another look.

Yet at this moment, their consciousness suddenly dimmed, and immediately their minds became chaotic, and their entire bodies transformed into Heavenly Demons of various shapes.

This scene caused the surrounding Cultivators to be shocked, but fortunately, the voice of the Su Ping Avatar rang out in their ears in time.

"This place is the Sea of All Living Beings, which transcends all Shikong Haiyu."

"Here, the slightest mishap will cause one to be eroded by their own desires and turned into a pure slave of desire."

"Gather your focus, close your eyes, and silently recite the Saviour Heavenly Venerable Heart-Clearing Mantra to receive the protection of the Heavenly Venerable."

After Su Ping's Avatar warned those Cultivators.

He looked toward Longevity Immeasurable Venerable.

He discovered that the Saint was stunned on the spot and had not taken the opportunity to launch a sneak attack after dragging him into this exotic realm.

What is going on?

Su Ping's Avatar was startled for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at the Neutron Battle Star beside him, and revealed a smile:

"So that's how it is; then it's fine."
