Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 602 - 366: Qiankun_2

"The Heavenly Court truly came prepared!"

The cultivators, shocked and angry, swiftly turned their gaze, furiously fixing it on the Longevity Star Palace Master.

With eyes like arrows and a mixture of shock and rage, the Palace Master had no choice but to pretend not to see.

The Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap is a treasured instrument of the Heavenly Court, renowned in the Earth Immortal’s Domain, and like the Book of Life and Death, it hails from the Heavenly Secret Realm.

Crafted by the great artisans of the Heavenly Court, it can capture the Heavenly Spirits and Earth Veins, severing their very foundation while sealing the heavens and locking the earth, restricting the void.

The former is a powerful tool for breaking arrays.

The latter is the nemesis of escape techniques.

With the precedent set by the Dragon Palace and Netherworld, how could the Jade Emperor not learn from past events when dispatching troops this time?

Therefore, this time the Wuqu Star came prepared, knowing that the Wuzhuang Temple surely hid a Seventh-Order Immortal Spirit Great Formation and casting the Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap directly, first to sever the fundamental energy of the arrays, then to forbid the use of space and escape abilities.

Targeted, are you, Zhen Yuanzi, a Seventh-Rank Array Formation Immortal Master, and your repeatedly escaped Five Elements Great Escape Divine Ability in the face of Calamity Immortals.

The Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap sprung into existence in the blink of an eye.

Within Mount Longevity, there’s still no response, as if it were abandoned and empty.

The Wuqu Star didn’t care, standing on the clouds with a golden whip in hand, he shouted sternly, "Zhen Yuanzi, you’ve stirred up the Southern Sea, disrupted the Dragon Palace, entered the Netherworld, caused an uproar in the Underworld, disrespected the Heavenly Might, and cheated the king’s law below.

You’ve committed boundless sins and yet now, as the Celestial Soldiers have arrived, will you not surrender yourself?"

"Ha!"

Before his voice faded, light laughter was heard.

From within Mount Longevity, within Wuzhuang Temple, disregarding the Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap, and the pursuing troops, a Five-colored Auspicious Cloud soared up, directly entering the high heavens, standing boldly against it.

"Brother Dao!"

"Senior!"

Seeing this, the cultivators were once more startled, with the Longevity Star Palace Master frowning even more deeply.

He... really didn’t leave?

Why won’t he leave, how can he not leave?

On what does he rely, whence comes his confidence?

The Longevity Star Palace Master’s expression was grave, and anxiety in his heart intensified.

"Hmph!"

Above the clouds, in front of the array, the Wuqu Star snorted coldly, uttering a final warning, "Will you come with me of your own accord, or shall I take you?"

"Ha!"

In the face of such language, the Taoist above the auspicious cloud laughed lightly, "I shall make but one move. If you can escape it, then I will not pursue you, and you may return to Heaven!"

"Hmm!?"

The Wuqu Star’s eyes narrowed as he frowned in anger, "How dare such an insolent man be so arrogant?"

Having said that, he raised the golden whip, ready to strike.

Xu Yang shook his head, swept with his horsetail whisk, and strode forth with his hands in his sleeves.

On the cloud he met the wind, with a gesture the universe of his sleeve came to sight.

All saw the Taoist man raise his hand, and immediately, the Five Elements aligned, returning to the Innate principle. The black and white fish circled in pursuit, and the mighty Tai Chi Yin and Yang emerged.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

No sooner had the Tai Chi appeared, there were explosive sounds, tumultuous vibrations, and the eighteen Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap arrays hidden in the void, for some unknown reason’s impact, started to explode, the Heavenly Net shattered, the Earthly Trap crumbled, and the state of sealing heaven and earth vanished like smoke into thin air.

Then, Heavenly Earth Prime Spirit surged forth, following the spread of the Tai Chi Diagram in magnificent waves, resembling neither an array nor a spell.

It was...

"Sleeve Universe!?"

The cultivators’ eyes sharpened, filled with astonishment.

"This is bad!!!"

In front of the array, face to face with his adversary, the Wuqu Star, who bore the brunt of the attack, had his expression drastically change. He lifted the golden whip, stimulated immortal power, like a long rainbow piercing the sun, or a comet assaulting the earth, a single burst of light from the Kaiyang star fight.

As the Wuqu Star Lord, his natural talent was extraordinary, possessing an "Golden Spirit Immortal Body" from birth, which made his cultivation speed extremely fast, like a thousand miles a day, and endowed him with vast Divine Powers and extraordinary combat strength. With a single Kaiyang Star Fight, he had few enemies within the same realm.

But now...

"Boom!!!"

The Kaiyang strike, with the force of the Wuqu Star fight, shattered the Void Boundary in an instant, but failed to break the Yin and Yang Tai Chi, instead being swallowed by the Yin and Yang, assimilated by the Tai Chi.

In the blink of an eye, the sky darkened, the sun and moon lost their light. The mighty Tai Chi emerged, covering the sky and masking the sun, sweeping over everything in its path.

"!!!!!"

The Wuqu Star’s expression changed, the generals were shocked, rapidly arranging their array to resist the force of Tai Chi.

But to their astonishment, as the Tai Chi turned, it created Chaos, and as far as the eye could see, there was void, like the universe at its origin.

"This is..."

"Star Lord?"

The Wuqu troops, ten thousand Celestial Soldiers, were all at a loss, not knowing where they had landed.

Only the Wuqu Star’s expression was grave, "Sleeve Universe Dao, Yin and Yang Cosmic Law, such a formidable Zhen Yuanzi, no wonder he was so audacious, having such a reliance!"

After speaking, he lifted the golden whip and delivered a heaven-supporting strike towards the nothingness above, into the Chaos.

"Boom!!!"

The Wuqu Star’s strike, revealing a flash of Kaiyang, with the power of the Metal Element like a falling star contra-attacking, hit the Chaos and tore open a passage.

"Go!!!"

The Wuqu Star yelled, leaped up, and turned into a flash of golden light making its way through.

The generals who saw this also wanted to follow, but the light of the golden flash quickly dimmed, and the void of Chaos closed once again, not only blocking everyone’s exit but also a strange force, with Yin and Yang working together, left everyone incapacitated with mana instantly emptied from their bodies.

At the same time...

"This..."

"How is this possible?"

Outside Mount Longevity, the cultivators stood petrified, their faces filled with disbelief.

In the sky, at the battlefield, there was no longer any sight of the Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap or the Wuqu divine general, just a Five-colored Auspicious Cloud suspended serenely.

Above the cloud stood one person, with fluttering sleeves and an ethereal presence, whom no one could have imagined was the same person who, moments before, had swept away the Wuqu Star Lord and ten thousand Celestial Soldiers in one swoop.

A Sleeve Universe?

Can it truly do this?

He not only collected ten thousand Celestial Soldiers into his sleeve, but even the Wuqu Star of the Tribulation Realm was unable to...

"Pfft!"

Amidst the crowd’s shock, suddenly a faint sound was heard, the man’s sleeve tore open, and a streak of golden light pierced through, showing once more the shadow of Wuqu’s Kaiyang Attack.

It was the Wuqu Star!

He broke through Chaos, emerging from the Sleeve Universe, faced Xu Yang, and spoke with a mix of shock and rage, "A newly ascended Mahayana, within a thousand years, how could you achieve such a feat? You... who on earth are you?"
