Chapter 1358: The Immortal Array Traps the Celestial Doctor (7K)_4
Upon receiving Li Fan's promise, Mo Rubing no longer suppressed himself.
"Demon Heart, Immortal Will!"
He chanted in a low voice.
In an instant, countless faces, like massive clouds gathering before a storm, surged forth from within Mo Rubing's body.
Each bore a different expression.
Like moths to a flame, they rushed towards the golden threads left by the Celestial Doctor.
And under the cover of the myriad Demonic Souls, Mo Rubing's true body quietly approached the High Wall.
"Hum..."
A sound like the vibration of a guitar string suddenly resonated in the Star Sea.
Before the army of Demonic Souls could get close to the Celestial Doctor's golden threads, a large number were melted away, as if in direct sunlight, leaving behind only a faint silhouette.
On closer inspection, within these silhouettes, thin lines of golden threads remained.
The golden threads connected these Demonic Souls, which then instantaneously turned traitor.
They clashed against the Demonic Souls controlled by Mo Rubing.
"These mere mortal tricks dare to compete with Immortal Law?"
Mo Rubing let out a low chant.
His eyes, in a flash, plunged into a silent and eerie darkness.
An invisible mirror appeared quietly under his gaze, reflecting all the Demonic Souls controlled by the Celestial Doctor's golden threads within it.
The mirror erupted with a burst of Dark Light, turning from ethereal to tangible.
Then, once again, the faces of Mo Rubing himself were manifested in the reflections of those Demonic Souls!
Even though they were still manipulated by the golden threads, they were forcibly possessed by Mo Rubing!
In this manner, relying on the immortal and indestructible Demonic Souls for protection, Mo Rubing successfully breached the outer layer of protection left by the Celestial Doctor.
As the breach in the High Wall appeared to be within reach, Mo Rubing suddenly found himself unable to move.
Transparent fine needles, unbeknownst to him, were now piercing his body.
At first there was only one.
Then one became two, and two became four.
As if with a self-aware will, they propagated naturally, quickly filling Mo Rubing's body with needles at all meridian points.
The ferocious expression on Mo Rubing's face seemed to gradually freeze as well.
Li Fan, who had been laying out the battle array while observing, was contemplating whether to intervene and help.
But soon realized he had underestimated Mo Rubing, the Law King of the Ancient Xuan Tian Sect.
In the moment of stillness, all invisible fine needles began to stealthily be tainted with a trace of dark black.
Like a muddy swamp, it continually eroded upwards.
If one were to observe at a magnified level, they would see that the blackness was the manifestation of Mo Rubing's Demonic Souls!
These, however, were more irrational than those Mo Rubing had released before, their eyes only held a frenzied urge to destroy, incessantly gnawing at the sealing needles.
When one of the needles was devoured by a Demonic Soul, it was thus pulled out of the body.
Continuing to fly towards the other needles, helping to corrode them.
As a result, the speed at which the sealing needles disintegrated accelerated.
In just a few breaths, all were broken by Mo Rubing.
"The Sky Extermination Demon Heart Immortal Technique, chosen personally by the King of Mystic Sky for Mo Rubing, truly lives up to its reputation!" Li Fan, who had witnessed Mo Rubing's charge through the battle array, couldn't help but silently admire him.
Having repelled the sealing needles, what stood before Mo Rubing was the last protection left by the Celestial Doctor.
And Li Fan, having successfully arranged his battle array, now sensed the Celestial Doctor's presence not far away.
"No matter how strong you are in the Star Sea, you must still pass through my [XuanHuang Living Beings Array]!"
Fierce brilliance erupted from Li Fan's eyes.
Looking at the figure with white hair and a vast presence in the distance, Li Fan seemed to reminisce about the first time he had met this peerless strongman from the Heavenly Law Realm.
The Essence of Source Power was being extracted continuously, while the Final Separation Disk operated at its peak.
In the endless cycles of Reincarnation, all the various knowledge about the Heavenly Law Realm collected over hundreds of lifetimes flashed through his Spirit Consciousness.
"Let me introduce you to the wonderful world I've crafted just for you!"
"Array, activate!"
Amidst Li Fan's explosive shout,
An invisible fluctuation instantly enveloped the fleeing Celestial Doctor.
A hint of astonishment flickered across his face.
And then, the Celestial Doctor felt darkness before his eyes and lost consciousness.
When he regained clarity, he was at first disoriented.
Next, a voice of utmost naivety awakened him.
"Esteemed one! Esteemed one!"
The Celestial Doctor looked toward the source of the voice.
It was a lovely little girl with a cute appearance. She looked no more than a dozen years old, yet she was already at the Nascent Soul Stage.
"Su Xiaomei."
Information about the little girl instantly flashed through the Celestial Doctor's mind.
"Two worlds merged, with the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao residing in mother and daughter respectively."
"Born with extraordinary talent, naturally free from the trouble of Immortal-Ordinary Miasma, possessing the perfect physique that countless living beings dream of."
"Immortal-Ordinary Miasma?"
The Celestial Doctor felt a sudden sense of disharmony.
However, after a brief bout of dizziness, he remembered what had happened over the past ten thousand years.
During the life-and-death battle between Heavenly Law Realm and Xuanhuang World, in the end, the Heavenly Law Realm narrowly clinched the final victory.
The Heavenly Law Realm successfully devoured Xuanhuang World, gaining an entire Immortal Cultivation World's resources, and temporarily escaped from the Immortal Ruins.
However, the price paid was extremely brutal.
All the revered ones from the Heavenly Law Realm, except for him, Sky Extermination, Tian Yin, Tian Yu, and the rest perished in battle.
And the cultivators of Xuanhuang World, in their final moments of despair, used Xuanhuang World itself as a sacrifice to deliver a fatal blow.
Immortal-Ordinary Miasma, Incompatible Cultivation, and other Heaven-Earth Principles, like poison, were subtly induced into Xuanhuang World.
Even the fundamental rationale behind cultivators' cultivation was surreptitiously altered.
Because he was in a coma due to severe injuries, he had failed to notice in time.
When he awoke from his stupor, the Heavenly Law Realm had already undergone earth-shattering changes.
Due to Incompatible Cultivation, cultivators fought and slaughtered each other.
Following the great war, an already withered Heavenly Law Realm nearly lost its legacy.
Fortunately, after a period of strife, the surviving cultivators managed to have enough techniques to practice.
The slaughter ceased, but the cultivators had lost trust in each other.
On top of a wasteland, they existed in isolation and vigilance.
During this period, the surviving cultivators in the Star Sea also discovered this remnant land of the Heavenly Law Realm.
Their original homelands had been destroyed in the great calamity of the Star Sea. Thus, they came to settle here one after another.
Over ten thousand years, the entire Star Sea was also changing.
The suction force of the Ruins of Immortality was incessantly drawing in everything from the Star Sea.
The Heavenly Law Realm, by a stroke of luck that had escaped destruction, now as the last surviving land in the Star Sea, also inevitably reached the edge of the Immortal Ruins.
Teetering on the brink, at any moment, there was the risk of complete annihilation.
When the Celestial Doctor woke up, this was the scene he was met with.
Though he was greatly shaken, he immediately took remedial actions.
Through various methods, he eventually persuaded several immortal experts of the Heavenly Law Realm to temporarily band together.
A loose alliance was formed.
Gathering cultivators from the Heavenly Law Realm, supporting mortals in their cultivation.
Slowly, life began to flourish again in the Heavenly Law Realm, but those immortal experts harbored their own schemes.
Facing the Heavenly Law Realm's sinking ship, they had already started pondering their own escapes.
The Celestial Doctor was resolved to save such a Heavenly Law Realm.
