Chapter 1076: Defeat and retreat!

Bai, lecturing is useless; broken bones are the best lesson. Let's attack!

The voice fell!

The Yin Vein Elder struck first, his sleeve flicking out as if endless gloomy matter drifted forth, then gathered into a vast ocean pouring down.

The Void became extremely dark.

The dark force evolved into an indescribable heaven‑earth phenomenon, lacking form, lying between illusion and substance, profoundly strange.

Like quicksand, it wrapped toward the Xuanji Holy Lord's feet.

The Xuanji Holy Lord lightly stomped her foot, endless black light divine splendor fell, directly condensing into an abyss phenomenon.

Crack!

As if heaven and earth split open a great maw, faintly resembling the true Shadow Abyss on her body, the two resonated and began devouring this dark force.

Abyss phenomenon, swallowing heaven and earth!

Seeing this, everyone was stunned.

Isn't this Luo Jin Laozi's divine ability?

How did Bai grasp a hint of its essence!

The Yin Vein Elder faintly marveled, coldly snorting at Luo Sheng in the distance: 'No wonder—this is your trump card. I never expected Luo Jin Laozi to actually teach his signature divine ability to Bai.'

Luo Sheng likewise looked shocked: 'No. Luo Jin Laozi didn't teach Bai; he figured it out himself.'

The Yin Vein Elder coldly said: 'Impossible! How could a mere Wen Dao realm cultivator comprehend such a phenomenon, and even resonate with the Shadow Abyss?'

Luo Sheng suddenly said: 'Look carefully—Bai's phenomenon differs from Luo Jin Laozi's!'

Many elders examined closely and indeed found that the Xuanji Holy Lord's abyss phenomenon took a different path.

Yet it can likewise devour the Grand Dao!

They didn't know that the Xuanji Holy Lord possessed the Dao Subtle Scripture; this art can probe the source of the Guile Dao and pierce its root.

And the Shadow Abyss is actually a material manifestation of Luo Jin Laozi's Grand Dao of the Deep Abyss!

She had cultivated there for years, naturally using the Dao Subtle Scripture to glimpse a hint of truth.

But she remodeled the Grand Dao of the Deep Abyss.

It can likewise devour power, but she infused it with the Xuanji Method and Annihilating Power.

This abyss excels in both offense and defense!

Truly a monster!

The Yin Vein Elder increasingly felt the Xuanji Holy Lord was heaven‑defying!

The Xuanji Holy Lord remained silent, her crystal‑clear jade palm continually moving, drawing the strange power from the starry sky; the heavenly stars instantly emitted black light, with a thunderous boom, terrifying slaughter‑force coiled around her fingertips.

Boom—!

The Xuanji Holy Lord's aura kept surging!

She lightly said: 'Elders, be careful!'

Saying this, her jade hand continuously formed seals; a huge black longbow condensed above the abyss, using the myriad stars as a guide and the starry sky as the string, immeasurably vast, like a bridge forged between heaven and earth.

The Yin Vein Elder frowned: 'Another heaven‑defying method!'

At that moment, the Xuanji Holy Lord's jade hand sealed again; the endless strange power contained in the abyss surged upward like a black dragon.

Hiss!

Draw the bow, shoot the arrow!

The whole motion was done in one breath!

Everyone was utterly shocked.

This bow, this arrow are no mundane objects; their Dao patterns are densely packed, some even leaving the Yin Vein Elder and others unable to see through them at first glance.

Instantly, streaks of black dragons shot straight at the Yin Vein Elder and the others.

Boom!

Five elders were instantly blown back thousands of zhang.

Then more long arrows fell, like black meteors, momentum greater, killing intent suddenly surging.

Dao Resonance Suppression!

The Yin Vein Elder coldly snorted, raising his hand; dark matter of the Grand Dao surged out again, but this time different—he poured all his Dao Resonance onto it.

But it was useless!

The long arrows turned into dragons, instantly annihilating that dark matter.

The Yin Vein Elder let out a muffled groan, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth!

The other elders' situations were no better.

Fighting peers, they actually felt the Xuanji Holy Lord was invincible!

This slaughter‑force isn't something she ought to possess at her level!

Next, the Xuanji Holy Lord pressed step by step, directly suppressing the five elders.

They suffered successive defeats!

Everyone just stared dumbfounded.

This Bai is simply too fierce; they had never heard of such a fierce fighting style in the Strange Hall!

The Yin Vein Elder and company felt some resentment, but having agreed to lower their cultivation to fight Bai, they truly are no match now.

Moreover, even if the other elders lowered their cultivation and surrounded the Xuanji Holy Lord, they would still be no match!

Above the Void in the distance, Luo Sheng burst into laughter: 'You've lost. I still remember someone's promise.'

The Yin Vein Elder's face turned somewhat unsightly.

Not long after.

The Yin Meridian Elders and others really could not bear it; they finally leaked out a trace of majestic pressure and said coldly, "Enough! Bai, I admit you do have the qualifications for the Sequence Struggle! But that's only qualifications! Your cultivation is too weak now."

The Xuanji Holy Lord's jade foot halted above the void, "Since you elders have lost, then withdraw from this starry space."

"Impossible!"

The Yin Meridian Elder's face turned dark.

Face? He can do without, but this Shadow Abyss they must occupy.

Their most important mission this time is the Shadow Abyss!

This is the Luo Meridian's greatest opportunity!

Suddenly.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

Void Rending!

Space Distortion!

A tremendously terrifying aura poured out from the void rift, condensing into a blurry phantom; the Dao Resonance unique to the Dark Calamity Ancestor made many elders startle.

I never expected the Dark Calamity Ancestor to actually descend as a projection!

Everyone immediately bowed respectfully toward the depths of the void.

"Welcome the Dark Calamity Ancestor!"

"Welcome the Dark Calamity Ancestor!"

"……"

That phantom was extremely blurry, facing away from the crowd and lightly waving its hand, "A few High Star Dao Void Realm cultivators joining forces are no match for a Questioning Dao Realm cultivator. Has my Deceit Palace really fallen?"

This voice carried a reproachful tone.

In an instant, the Yin Meridian Elders and others lowered their heads, "Ancestor, this matter…"

That phantom let out a cold snort, extended its divine sense to continually probe the Xuanji Holy Lord, then asked the Xuanji Holy Lord, "Bai? I never expected Luo Jin to have taken in such a heaven-defying monster as you. You blocked them from seizing the Shadow Abyss—what were you thinking?"

Upon hearing that, the Xuanji Holy Lord realized that before the Dark Calamity Ancestor, she only needed to voice her true thoughts.

It would be best to let the Dark Calamity Ancestor think she was very naive.

On the contrary, that is the truth!

Thinking thus, the Xuanji Holy Lord pointed at the many elders who had already defected and said, "Now many elders of my Luo Meridian have been recruited by the other seven meridians; few strong ones remain in the Luo Meridian. If this Shadow Abyss remains in my Luo Meridian's hands, each person would actually gain more benefit."

The Dark Calamity Ancestor continued to ask, "Then what do you think—who would be suitable to control the Shadow Abyss if it remains?"

The Xuanji Holy Lord said, "Junior is willing to take charge!"

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone was stunned!

Even the Dark Calamity Ancestor didn't expect Bai would answer like that.

Luo Sheng, who had been smiling all over his face, twitched.

Ah, Bai!

How can this child be so absent‑minded!

How did they end up saying what's in their heart?
