Chapter 831

Huang Tian Dafo could not understand how Xiao Jingtian, a mortal of flesh and blood, could survive being compressed to the size of an egg.

Unable to figure it out, he simply decided to stop thinking about it.

Once more he reached out to his true body, and once more drew a stream of power from beyond the realm.

This stream of power was far thicker and more profound than the one before.

It stirred up a great disturbance in the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi of the Dayuan Imperial Court.

"Worthy indeed of one who comes from beyond the realm. Though this power still falls a bit short, it really is not bad!"

Wu Wudi watched this power and could not help but recall the battle at Tianshan, and the power radiating from that Eye of Savagery.

He sensed that the master of this current power was considerably weaker than the master of the Eye of Savagery.

But the present him, if he were to face it, would likely find it very hard to win.

Only…

He had already joined the Qinglong Society!

Once he completed a few more missions, he would be able to obtain a further advancement!

At that time, who would win and who would lose was still unknown!

Huang Tian Dafo naturally did not know that his true strength had already been spied out by Wu Wudi.

Even if he knew, he likely would not have the leisure to care.

Right now he only wanted to gather power and wipe Xiao Jingtian from this world.

At once he focused on everything, pouring every last drop of the power projected from beyond the realm into this egg-sized energy cluster.

As the power from beyond the realm poured in, the energy cluster once again collapsed violently.

From the size of an egg, it gradually shrank to the size of a cherry, then continued to collapse, becoming the size of a peanut.

Still not enough, it continued to collapse, until it gradually shrank to about the size of a grain of sand.

At this point, Huang Tian Dafo finally could no longer detect the vitality of Xiao Jingtian within the core of this energy cluster.

Fully believing Xiao Jingtian was dead, he could not help but happily declare in public,

"Ha ha! It's done! Xiao Jingtian is dead. People of the Qinglong Society, is there anything else you wish to say?"

Yet the people of the Qinglong Society all looked at Huang Tian Dafo as if he were an idiot, and most of the Dayuan officials likewise showed not the slightest hint of joy.

At this, it seemed as if only Huang Tian Dafo alone was happy.

He was happy for a while, but received no response at all.

Huang Tian Dafo also gradually came back to his senses, swept his gaze around, glared viciously at the Dayuan officials below him, then helplessly looked toward Senior Xiaoyaozi,

"You must be one of the four Dragon Heads, yes? With your cultivation, how dare you rank alongside him?

How about this! I see your aptitude is not bad. Why not serve me instead…"

This Huang Tian Dafo openly disparaged the Great Dragon Head Ximen Wudi on one hand, yet on the other hand tried to recruit Senior Xiaoyaozi.

But before his words were finished, a sudden rumble came from the palm of his hand.

A wild, primordial aura continuously seeped out from the palm of Huang Tian Dafo's hand.

The moment that aura seeped out, everyone, including Huang Tian Dafo himself, felt utterly terrified.

"How can this aura be so…?"

Huang Tian Dafo could no longer bother with showing off his might, and stared in utter shock at the energy cluster, collapsed to the size of a grain of sand, in his palm.

The people of the Nine Provinces could at most feel that this aura bore some resemblance to the true form of Pudu Cihang, that primordial centipede.

But Huang Tian Dafo could sense that this aura was something one could only encounter when chaos first split open and the world first took form.

This aura was the aura of the world's beginning!

Yet what Huang Tian Dafo had used to annihilate Xiao Jingtian was clearly a power of suppression and the snuffing out of vitality!

Why would it be like this?

Huang Tian Dafo truly could not understand; with his breadth of experience, he really could not comprehend it.

The course of events also did not proceed in the direction he had understood.

He saw that energy cluster, once this primordial aura appeared, begin to swell violently.

From a grain of sand, it swelled violently to the size of a cherry, then to an egg.

With every layer it expanded, one could feel the vigorous vitality emanating from within the energy cluster, as well as the seemingly real yet elusive aura of Xiao Jingtian!

"Impossible, impossible! How could a mortal of this realm possess such power!

This Venerable One must absolutely suppress and slay you!"

Huang Tian Dafo truly could not accept it; even beyond the realm, not many could achieve this step.

He had paid such a great price, and time and again projected power from beyond the realm.

How could he end up looking so disheveled before these frogs at the bottom of a well?

If it went on like this, what face would he have left to stand on beyond the realm.

At once, hardening his heart, he cast aside everything and once more reached out to his true body, preparing to continue projecting power from beyond the realm.

The moment he hardened his heart thus, his whole body radiated a thick, golden brilliance.

The Dayuan officials, who had originally been bathed in this golden brilliance, felt only their bodies relax and their minds grow calm.

But the golden brilliance at this moment actually contained a thread of hard-to-detect spiritual power.

Wherever this spiritual power reached, the Dayuan officials, who had still been clear-headed, suddenly found their consciousness growing fuzzy.

They rose to their feet, loudly reciting the Huang Tian scriptures over and over.

This recitation was somewhat different from the previous chanting of the Huang Tian scriptures.

The previous chanting had been like a monk reciting sutras, a spontaneous sort of thing.

The recitation at this moment was not only loud and resonant, but carried a few shades of fervent, restless fervor.

At first the people of the Qinglong Society only felt it was strange, but as a Great Yuan palace guard recited Buddhist scriptures, he suddenly began coughing blood uncontrollably.

The more he coughed blood, the more forcefully he recited.

Xiao Aoshi, who primarily cultivated the path of the spirit, reacted at once,

"Not good. The Buddha-light of this Huang Tian Evil Buddha is vastly different from before.

Mr. Xu, you and I shall join hands and cast Jingmu Jie · Sen Luo Hell to resist this Buddha-light!"

Although Di Shitian did not primarily cultivate the path of the spirit, his Jingmu Jie was also a form of spiritual attack.

Reminded by Xiao Aoshi, he briefly extended his perception.

He clearly sensed that this golden radiance was vastly different from before.

He nodded at once, and together with Xiao Aoshi, urged his true essence, drew upon the world's primordial force, and directly began casting Jingmu Jie · Sen Luo Hell.

Jingmu Jie was one of Di Shitian's Four Holy Heart Calamities, and Sen Luo Hell originated from Xiao Aoshi's Wan Dao Sen Luo.

It was a unique divine art the two of them had inadvertently co-developed through their long daily companionship.

Once this art emerged, the spreading golden radiance was blocked by streams of black qi rising from the earth.

Soon this black qi gradually took shape into terrifying, stern pavilions and towers, mountains, rivers, and fortified passes.

Countless ghosts of strange appearance wandered through this world shrouded in black qi.

As this Sen Luo Hell took form, the golden radiance could no longer spread even half an inch toward the people of the Qinglong Society.

"Eh? You can actually summon a hell? No, no, this isn't a hell… then what is this?"

The Huang Tian Great Buddha, who had been preparing to channel more power from his outer-domain true body, felt his Buddha-light obstructed and, seeing Sen Luo Hell manifest in the world, could not help muttering.

Then he sensed once more the vigorous vitality seeping out from the energy cluster in his palm.

He could only gather his mind at once, no longer bother with this Sen Luo Hell, and instead continue urging the golden radiance to brush across the bodies of the Great Yuan court officials.

Each time the golden radiance brushed them, the Great Yuan court officials and palace guards grew one degree more fanatical.

With each added degree of fanaticism, they would shed more fresh blood, and the sound of their chanting of the Huang Tian scriptures grew louder.

In the end, one palace guard was drenched in blood, looking almost like a man made of blood.

Then with a boom, he exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

After the golden radiance absorbed this blood mist, a translucent figure appeared on the spot.

Judging by appearance, it was precisely the figure of that palace guard from before.

Once this phantom of the palace guard appeared, the Huang Tian Great Buddha gave a great beckoning with his hand and drew this phantom away.

As more and more phantoms appeared, the Huang Tian Great Buddha's methods grew swifter.

Before long, he was finally satisfied, and flung his palm upward toward the sky.
