Chapter 60: Water Floods the Spirit Hall
Although Qian Daoliu had summoned the other six High Priests, they did not know what exactly had happened either.
Jin E, who was in the air, looked at Zhou Yi and said to Qian Daoliu:
"Big Brother, don't tell me you summoned us here just to deal with a little brat."
"Don't underestimate him. This kid has plenty of tricks up his sleeve; if you show even the slightest slack, he will play you. Besides, you saw it just now—with his speed, most Title Douluo wouldn't be able to catch him. If you hadn't intercepted him in advance, he would have vanished long ago."
Of course, while he said that, Qian Daoliu had already concluded in his heart that Zhou Yi was at his wit's end, and now he was no longer in a hurry.
"Kid, it's time for you to accept your fate. Honestly explain why you suddenly appeared in front of the Angel Statue."
"You're asking me? I want to know too. I already said before, I took the wrong turn. Why won't you believe me?"
Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Qian Daoliu thought he still hadn't grasped the reality of the situation. However, surrounded by the seven top Title Douluo of the Continent, he couldn't escape even with wings, so he stopped acting.
"Sigh, it seems you still won't give up. Since that's the case, we have no choice but to take you down first."
The six High Priests on the side, listening to the exchange between the two, finally understood why the High Priest had summoned everyone. Indeed, matters concerning the Angel God could not be taken lightly.
Seeing the seven Title Douluo closing in on him in a surrounding formation, Zhou Yi hurriedly shouted:
"Hey—! Don't come over! If you come any closer, I'm going to activate my backup hidden energy, and no one will have a good time then!"
Seeing this, Qian Daoliu only thought he was stalling for time and putting on a show, so he said to the others:
"Ignore him. This kid is extremely cunning and doesn't have a single word of truth in his mouth. Let's take him down first."
Everyone agreed completely after hearing this, little knowing that Zhou Yi was waiting for them to get closer.
"Don't come over! If you force me, I'm really going to use my trump card!"
As he said this, Zhou Yi even revealed an anxious and embarrassed expression.
Seeing Zhou Yi's expression, the group was even more disdainful, and Qianjun Douluo even began to provoke him.
"Hah! Stop trying to scare people. Kid, if you have the ability, use it~"
Finally, watching the distance between them continue to shrink, Zhou Yi felt certain in his heart—the time had come.
He suddenly pulled out a huge scroll and threw it into the sky. After the scroll flew into the sky, it unfolded naturally and turned into a painting spanning hundreds of square meters, hanging across the firmament.
Only one thing was painted on the scroll: water.
Countless river waters and turbulent currents, and one could even see wave after wave of high crests within it.
And on the far right side of the painting, two lines of text were written vertically:
North of Kunlun there is water, its strength cannot support a mustard seed, hence it is called Weak Water.
——"Classic of Mountains and Seas"
The crowd was also startled by this sudden change, staring fixedly at Zhou Yi while paying attention to the movement in the sky.
Suddenly, Zhou Yi pinched several hand seals, and at the same time, the Moon Divine Pattern in his left Taiyin Pupil shone brilliantly, the silver light stinging everyone's eyes.
"Hmm?... What!!! This is the power of a god!!! Everyone, quickly stop him!!!!"
Qian Daoliu, as someone who had been in contact with divine power for years, sensed the change in an instant and shouted anxiously, issuing orders to everyone.
Boom—boom—boom—boom—boom—boom—boom—
In an instant,
everyone released their martial souls and reached out toward Zhou Yi in unison.
At the same time, inside the Pope Palace hundreds of meters away, Bibi Dong, who had been resting with her eyes closed, suddenly stood up, her pupils shrinking as she erupted with an astonishing aura.
"How is this possible!! How could a divine inheritance other than the Angel God appear within the Spirit Hall!?
And that location... is it the Gongfeng Dian? No, I must go and see!"
Thinking this, Bibi Dong flew toward the Gongfeng Dian at an extremely high speed, while also calling out to the two Title Douluo, Ghost and Chrysanthemum.
"Elder Ghost, Elder Chrysanthemum, something seems to have happened at the Gongfeng Dian. You two come with me immediately to investigate the situation."
"Yes! Your Holiness the Pope!" ×2
After speaking, the group flew at full speed toward the Gongfeng Dian, one after another.
The scene shifts back to Zhou Yi.
Seeing the seven Title Douluo rushing toward him with their martial souls released, the anxiety on Zhou Yi's face vanished, replaced by a confident, domineering, and arrogant expression.
"Hah! It's already too late. Watch this,
The waters of the Yellow River come from the sky, rushing to the sea, never to return!"
As these words were finished, the scroll in the sky acted as if a dam had burst; the surging river water poured down directly from the sky, as if the water of the Celestial River were flowing into the human world—it was truly shocking.
It must be said, it was worthy of the Weak Water that Zhou Yi had painstakingly saved for half a year. Although it was all gone now, the effect was good, and the scene was spectacular. If one had to describe it, besides the poem Zhou Yi recited, there was another line particularly suited to describe the scene before them:
Flying down three thousand feet, suspected to be the Milky Way falling from the nine heavens.
By now, everyone in the entire Spirit Hall had noticed this scene, and the arriving Bibi Dong and the other two saw the specific process of the Celestial River falling even more clearly.
Bibi Dong hurriedly issued orders, and upon seeing elders and guards on the way, she signaled for a portion of them to go with her to help.
As for the Golden Trio in the Training Ground further away, they were not affected.
"Nana, Xie Yue, look over there. Did something happen?"
The sycophant Yan was the first to discover the anomaly and pointed it out to the other two.
"Hmm... it is indeed very strange. We've been in the Spirit Hall for so many years and have never seen such a thing. Which elder is using a soul skill?" Xie Yue looked into the distance, somewhat puzzled.
"How is that possible? Even if an elder uses a soul skill, they wouldn't use it inside the Spirit Hall. This situation can only mean that something has indeed happened. However, don't worry; even if there is an enemy invasion, Teacher will handle everything."
Hu Liena's reaction was quite fast, though she was perhaps a bit too blindly trusting of her teacher.
The two beside her felt it made sense after hearing this and stopped worrying, though all three felt a trace of curiosity about today's incident.
On the other side,
after Zhou Yi released the Weak Water, everyone above the Weak Water lost their ability to fly and fell one after another into the small river formed by the Weak Water. They couldn't even float in the Weak Water and sank directly to the bottom, even Zhou Yi included.
And the seven High Priests submerged in the Weak Water all felt a slow, erosive force corroding their bodies.
Zhou Yi was fine; although he was also affected by the Weak Water, he could at least control it, so he used his Taiyin Pupil to quickly part the Weak Water and form a path.
However, Zhou Yi could not be said to be resting easy at this moment; once the Weak Water ran dry and dispersed completely, the water level would drop until it became a thin layer, and if they sensed something to accelerate this process, they would likely break free even faster.
Therefore, having left the Weak Water domain, Zhou Yi and Jin Ling exchanged a glance and immediately unleashed that long-unused move.
"Golden Light of Earth-Crossing!"
Jin Ling transformed, grabbing Zhou Yi to use her innate skill, Ten Thousand Li Peng Journey, while Zhou Yi simultaneously used the wind and thunder power of his first and second soul skills to accelerate her; in an instant, the man and the bird turned into a golden light that soared into the sky, charging directly out of the Gongfeng Dian.
It must be said that as the move with the fastest burst speed, unless they were surrounded, once it was used, they were the current fastest legend in the Douluo world, and it was impossible for anyone to catch up.
Not far away, Qian Daoliu, who was still struggling on the Weak Water, saw this scene and was consumed by rage; this brat's speed was clearly several times faster than when he was fleeing just now, and this sight made Qian Daoliu want to curse—good grief, even in that situation earlier, this little brat had actually been holding back, he had truly been played, having spent years catching eagles only to have his eyes pecked by one today.
If Zhou Yi knew what Qian Daoliu was thinking, he would surely mock him; since it was a trump card, it had to be used in a situation where it could secure a one-hit kill—there was no way he would expose his trump card while both sides were still trading blows.
Seeing the golden light that Zhou Yi had turned into getting further and further away, Qian Daoliu made a prompt decision, directly pulling out something unknown and crushing it.
In an instant, Qian Daoliu's voice resounded throughout the entire Wuhun City:
"An unidentified enemy has invaded the Spirit Hall; to capture the enemy, from this moment on, the entire Wuhun City will be sealed for three days."
Following the sounding of these words, a sealed Array appeared at the edges of the entire Wuhun City, including in the air and underground.
At this, everyone in Wuhun City knew what had happened.
And in the distance, Zhou Yi also saw this scene, and could not help but curse a standard "Grass!"
With no other choice, he concealed his figure and hid in a corner of Wuhun City, intending to lay low for these three days; there was no help for it, Wuhun City was a quarter the size of the Tiandou Dalu, and no matter how fast he and Jin Ling were, it was impossible to instantly cross such a distance.
Fortunately, the energy accumulated by the Spirit Hall could not be that vast; such a massive sealing Array could only be maintained for three days.
Actually, he had wanted to create a gap at the edge of the Array, but upon careful thought, once he touched the Array, Qian Daoliu and the others would surely detect his position, and he could not break a gap open instantly, so the best method was still to wait for these three days to pass before leaving.
