Chapter 1245: 10 Honored Prisoners Trap the False Heaven
"Haotian Golden Imperial Supreme Exalted Naturally Wonderful Profound Genuine Jade Emperor... (spell)..." The same trick, Shi Zhongqing once again tossed out the yellow talisman paper, and once again a gap was opened in the void by the burning talisman paper, and the finger that crushed Ouyang Yudu reappeared.
At this moment, the fear of the Great Divine Official reached an extreme among all heavens and worlds.
A Great Divine Official capable of summoning the Great Emperor was undoubtedly the most powerful existence in the cosmic realm. And there were five such Great Divine Officials.
The divine beings, who initially had some thoughts rising in their minds due to Lin Shen and his group's battle with the Star God Palace, had those thoughts forcibly extinguished.
The sky finger pressed towards Di Esi, seemingly intending to crush Di Esi to death with a single finger, just like it did with Ouyang Yudu.
Di Esi looked at the giant finger descending from the sky, yet his face showed no special expression. He simply absorbed the starlight power from all heavens, and with a slight movement, stretched out his hand to grab the enfeebled Heavenly Venerate, who was drawn before him helplessly. The light contracted until it turned into a miniature version of the Heavenly Venerate, falling into Di Esi's palm.
Di Esi tightened his grip, gathering the energy of the entire universe like specks of starlight into his hand.
The seven Heavenly Venerates battling Lin Shen suddenly transformed into streaks of light, disappearing and converging into Di Esi's hand.
Even more unbelievably, as the light in Di Esi's hand gathered, the light from the Ten Directions Suffering Scripture held by the East Region Great Divine Official dimmed. One by one, the pages turned into fly ash, and finally, the entire book scattered like dim ash, impossible to grab hold of.
"What... what is happening..." The East Region Great Divine Official tried desperately to hold on, but in the end grasped nothing, his face full of despair. Without the Great Emperor's divine artifact, what qualifications did he have to stand above beings?
"In his hand..." Ji Shisan looked in horror at the radiant hand of Di Esi.
In his hand, the light had already condensed into a book, a book radiant as if it were the scripture of myriad gods.
The name on the book was remarkably "Ten Directions Relief Sufferings Scripture."
The next second, people saw that book unfold before Di Esi, its pages turning over one by one. Each page revealed saw a deity rushing skyward, with divine voices flourishing in the starry sky.
"I am the Jade Treasure Emperor Heavenly Venerate, residing in Zhen Palace, commanding the east realm, ruling wind and thunder, and presiding over the Eastern Pure Land of compassion, guarding the First Hall of the Netherworld." Lightning pierced the sky and earth, transforming into a deity, glaring at the finger in the void angrily.
"I am from the Xuanzhen Wanfu Heavenly Realm, residing in Li Palace, presiding over the western realm, wielding the flames of life, and presiding over the Western Pure Land World of Rite and Education, guarding the Second Hall of the Netherworld." Flames representing life broke through the void, similarly transforming into a deity towering to the heavens, glaring at the giant finger coming through the void.
"I am the Mystic Supreme Heavenly Venerate..."
Rays of divine light burst through the void, transforming into supreme divine true bodies, godly beings that seemed to support the sky, standing on myriad stars, staring angrily at the void.
Even the two Heavenly Venerates already killed took shape again, bursting through the void once more.
The ten Heavenly Venerates spread across the five directions, their divine light merging into boundless pure land, turning into hells of ten merits, confronting the godly finger.
Boom!
The divine finger clashed head-on with the netherhells, and for a moment, the starry sky twisted, stars shifted, and the heavens changed color. The Great Cycle Star Plate combined with the Purple Micro Wanxiang Pearl's boundless starry sky almost shattered under this strike.
Faint cracks appeared on the Great Cycle Star Plate and the Purple Micro Wanxiang Pearl, as if unable to withstand the internal surge of power any longer.
"He withstood the Great Emperor's attack!" Everyone's eyes were filled with astonishment.
Di Esi actually snatched the divine artifact from the East Region Great Divine Official and used it to block the Great Emperor's strike in return.
It seemed that the Great Emperor's divine artifact, Ten Directions Relief Sufferings Scripture, was even more powerful in Di Esi's hand than in that of the East Region Great Divine Official.
The divine finger continued to press down, and under the oppression of the divine finger, the netherhells of ten merits shifted through countless light and shadows. The divine light from the ten direction Heavenly Venerates burst forth, glaring at the sky, fully resisting the finger.
The divine finger remained locked in a deadlock with the ten direction Heavenly Venerates, neither able to overcome the other. Di Esi, holding the suffering scripture, continuously channeled light into the scripture, invoking the power of the ten direction Heavenly Venerates to fend off the finger.
This deadlock of two divine powers had already caused the surrounding void to collapse terrifyingly, space fractured, phenomena sprang up, making it impossible for anyone to approach that part of the starry sky.
The expressions on the faces of numerous Star Divine Officials and several Great Divine Officials grew more complex. Ouyang Yudu's possession of the First Immortal's capabilities was already incredibly daunting. That Di Esi could seize the Great Emperor's divine artifact and employ it to defy the Great Emperor's true body's power; such a terrifying existence was beyond comprehension.
Not even Great Divine Officials possessed such prowess, given that the Ten Directions Suffering Scripture's power was not as great in the hands of the East Region Great Divine Official as it was in Di Esi's.
"What kind of beings are these guys even..." Countless speculations arose in the hearts of people, for those who fought the Celestial Court to this extent today would be forever remembered.
Lin Shen was trapped in a yellow mud embryo, unable to extricate himself, even without the attack from the seven Heavenly Venerates. He could not pull himself out of the yellow mud embryo, not even able to stand.
The yellow mud embryo had turned his body into mud, and the foot and lower leg connected to the yellow mud earth had already turned into clay sculptures.
Lin Shen wished to summon Xiaoye and Xiaona with great divine artifacts to aid in his escape, but he didn't even summon the Chaos Bell because it would be futile.
He observed the yellow mud embryo with micro-vision, finding no flaws. Rather than the Void Line being unrelated to the yellow mud embryo, it was too related.
All the Void Lines in the universe were ultimately component with the yellow mud embryo as if it was the foundation of the cosmic entirety.
Though Lin Shen had the Hundred Percent Hit Formula, against this foundation of the universe, unless he could obliterate the universe in one strike, it'd be impossible to break the yellow mud embryo with any forceful measure.
Even more terrifying, the stronger Lin Shen's force grew, the thicker the yellow mud embryo became, with gravity increasing proportionally.
The greater Lin Shen's power erupted, the thicker and more hefty the yellow mud embryo became, rendering Lin Shen completely incapable of freeing himself.
At this moment, summoning any aid or divine artifact would result in them being crushed by the terrifying gravity of the yellow mud embryo and, like Lin Shen, gradually being eroded into mud.
"The Great Emperor's divine artifact... truly lives up to its name..." Lin Shen directed his Finger Sand at the yellow mud earth.
The omnipotent Finger Sand power, dug into the earth, yet could never penetrate the yellow mud earth.
Finger Sand continued to advance, but the earth kept thickening, seemingly never to be penetrated, instead making the gravity of the yellow mud earth more horrific.
In Lin Shen's eyes, the gravity of the yellow mud earth had already become an endless number. He couldn't even count how many digits there were.
The Scrap Sword, clasped as a support by Lin Shen, bent under the pressure of gravity and his power, curving like a crescent moon, appearing as if it might break at any moment.
"I shall vanquish the root of calamity first!" The Divine Official Houtu recited the secret language of the Great Emperor's divine artifact: "Heaven high and earth thick, bury ghosts and gods, through time eternal, all turns to dust..."
Before Houtu could finish the incantation, a figure astonishingly traversed the void, crossing the space, like a ghostly phantom stepping through the sky.
"Deng Xian... what are you here for..." Ji Shisan questioned the figure traveling through the void from his elevated position.
"To kill." Deng Xian strode through the void, his clothes billowing, as an immortal visiting the world, instantly crossed through the countless Star Divine Officials obstructing the perimeter, like an illusion, rushing into the starry sky fashioned by the Great Cycle Star Plate, heading directly towards several Great Divine Officials.
