External Incarnation, Nine-Lives Cat, a Thrown Whisk Sweeping into the Cluster of Characters
Upon hearing this voice, the four cultivators in the Black Hole had drastically changed expressions, each with a different demeanor, but all felt a tremor from the depths of their souls and immediately recognized the voice's owner.
"It's the Dao Ancestor! The Dao Ancestor has actually returned from his divine journey!"
These four supreme cultivators, who were considered legendary figures in the eyes of the Zhou Rao, were all filled with panic and fear at this moment. This was not only because they had failed to quell the crisis at hand, but also because during the time that the Dao Ancestral Gods was on his divine journey, they had taken the opportunity to ostensibly protect Zhou Rao, but in reality, they had all been developing their own power in various ways.
The four of them were aware of these things, but they would never bring them up openly. However, in the mind of that Dao Lord, things were naturally different.
However, before they could respond, the five-colored lightning struck down, hitting the Black Hole directly, and then a grand will merged into it.
"The four of you, after this, ascend to heaven. Don't stay in the mortal realm any longer."
The Black Hole changed rapidly, with Earthfire, wind, and water flowing and quickly merging and evolving, forming a world within it.
All around, countless eyeballs scattered across the sky were shattered when the five-colored lightning struck, and the Star Lord's will contained within them couldn't help but sigh.
"So it was a Dao Ancestor. It seems he forcibly returned from his spiritual journey, but it wasn't complete. He wanted to use this half-finished Spirit Land to manifest. But in doing so, it seems he's given that new god kid another chance. I wonder if this was also part of his plan. If he had already foreseen it, then it's rather frightening."
Upon observing the situation, the Eye-Bearing Star Lord, with his clear and penetrating Divine Eye, immediately understood the reasons behind it and knew that the situation had changed again.
He was already far from the sacrificial site, so he couldn't get much replenishment. Moreover, the Continent's suppressive power kept gods of the Third Grade and above out, so his full combat strength was already diminished. Facing the likes of the Dao Ancestor, he was bound to be at a disadvantage.
"Fortunately, it's just External Incarnation born from another body..."
Before his thoughts could even settle, the Black Hole on the other side suddenly trembled. The Earthfire, and water elements, along with the entire Black Hole, rapidly contracted, finally condensing into a single point. It released surging ripples that swept across the surrounding area!
Thousands of eyes exploded one after another after being swept away!
In an instant, the entire world was filled with fire and sparks.
The Star Lord's consciousness contained within dissipated, but not long after, a Divine Body re-formed within the Red Sun sun—who else could it be but the Eye-Bearing Star Lord?
As the Black Hole condensed into a single point, the Red Sun was also freed from the stalemate and quickly shrank back, merging back into the Eye-Bearing Star Lord, causing his aura to surge dramatically.
"It has been weakened considerably. Fortunately, there was no way to escape before, so we had to minimize our losses. Now that we have seen the Netherworld, we can have fewer worries and unleash our Divine Ability more," the Star Lord shook his head. "Although the consciousness that was previously split off did not possess most of its power, and its combat strength was only equivalent to the Third Realm of cultivators, the thousands of Divine Eye that were split off each contained the divine power of the Domain of Law and were protected by Karma, yet they were all destroyed. The External Incarnation that returned to consciousness and condensed was at least at the Sixth Realm Supreme Sage level."
The Sixth Realm of Life Cultivation is called the Supreme Sage. Cultivators who achieve this realm are also known as the Perfected Person.
Then, the Eye-Bearing Star Lord flew about, carried by the airflow, drifting towards the point where the Black Hole had condensed. The surrounding air, the tiny particles, and even the chaotic Spiritual Qi and the disordered Order containing the meaning of the survival of the fittest were all drawn together and merged into that point.
"The gaps and bottlenecks between the three levels of the Supreme Sage are even greater than those between the Third Realm and Fourth Realm. The combat power of the first level is comparable to Star Lord, the second level is comparable to Heaven Lord, and after achieving the third level, one enters a completely new realm, a new beginning with each step, known as Fleshly Sainthood. The terms Supreme Sage and Perfected Person originate from this. It is said that even the Five Emperor Lord would be wary of someone at such a level. However, it is unknown which level of the Sixth Realm the Dao Ancestor behind this Continent is at..."
While the Eye-Bearing Star Lord was pondering, he also cast several beams of light, trying to merge with the point that the Black Hole had condensed, but none of them succeeded. Similarly, the word blocks controlled by Qiu Yan also made similar attempts, but still failed.
Whether it's a gaze or a block of text, as it gets closer to the Black Hole, it will gradually melt away and eventually disappear without a trace.
Suddenly, the situation changed. That point vanished abruptly, transforming into Five Elements of light. As they intertwined, four figures flew out from within and fell silently to the ground. Then, Five Elements five elements of light turned and twisted into a phantom figure, which turned out to be an old man wearing a five-colored Daoist robe.
The old Daoist priest shuddered, and the Five Elements Earthfire, wind, and water swirled within his chest, forming a world within, but without sun or moon.
"Inner Heaven and Earth? This is the First Layer of the Sixth Realm. If an External Incarnation is already like this, then the person's true body is likely at a higher realm. In that case, I wouldn't be a match for them. But wait..." The Eye-Bearing Star Lord narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the four who had fallen. "This return of consciousness is also a result of taking advantage of the situation, and it relies on the chaos of Order and Spiritual Qi. This External Incarnation may not be much weaker than the true body. Otherwise, at this level, let alone staying in the lower realm for long, it wouldn't even be able to appear..."
Across from him, the old Daoist waved his sleeve, and Spiritual Qi gathered there, transforming into a whisk. He casually raised it, and instantly unleashed a violent aura!
"Outsiders, now that you're here, don't even think about leaving. The Daoist Sect and the Heavenly Court have long agreed that in a Continent that one side controls, the other cannot easily invade. Only in a Chaos and undefined Continent, where no one has left their mark, can multiple factions be allowed to make their moves. My Zhou Rao Continent has been the sole domain of the Daoist Sect for many years. The gods here are all at my disposal! No one is an exception! You are no exception either!" His gaze swept over the Eye-Bearing Star Lord and Qiu Yan, a hint of surprise and solemnity appearing in his eyes.
"My apologies, so you are a Dao Ancestor. In that case, this Continent is the foundation for your ascension to the Dao? No wonder..." The Eye-Bearing Star Lord smiled faintly, cupped his hands in greeting, but as he spoke, he suddenly looked up and his eyes shot out Divine Radiance, pointing directly at the illusory old Daoist!
Without any apparent effort, the old Daoist priest flicked his whisk, causing the Five Elements to circulate and block the view.
Call!
But the next moment, a dark shadow rose up behind him. It was the black cat that had moved there at some point, swelled up, and pounced on the old Daoist like a tiger!
"A puppet Guardian Deity at the Star Lord level?" The old Daoist remained unperturbed, glancing at the black cat. "It's a pity it was created. It's ultimately inferior to a true Star Lord! However, it'll be perfect as a gatekeeper for this humble Daoist!" With that, he flicked his whisk, unleashing the radiance of the Five Elements, instantly transforming the world. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, under his control, gathered together, advancing and retreating in unison, mutually generating and restraining each other!
For a moment, the Star Lord Black Cat was abruptly stopped, and the Five Elements radiance seemed to have a life of its own, spreading towards it, entangling, eroding, and assimilating it, trying to pull it into the small world in the old Daoist's chest.
"A fine tactic, but unfortunately you've forgotten..." Eye-Bearing Star Lord grinned as he spoke, "Cats have nine lives!"
"Hmm?" The old Daoist was taken aback. With a "snap," the Star Lord Black Cat shattered completely, turning into thick blood that fell down with a "whoosh," staining the Five-Colored Divine Light and dimming its brilliance considerably.
"You 'Will Descent, which shows your urgency. Perhaps you've also noticed that brat's threat. If that's the case, why make an enemy of me? However, it's too late to say all this now. If I severely injure your half-returned consciousness, I might mold you into another Guardian Deity of mine." The Eye-Bearing Star Lord a regretful expression, then raised his hand and grabbed.
Whoosh!
A figure flew through the air and landed in his hand; who else could it be but Zhao Wu?
Zhao Wu was originally Eye-Bearing Star Lord. He once went to Nine Spirits Mountain to deliver a message to Qiu Yan. Later, he was also entangled in Karma and crossed the starry sky to come here. He was on guard outside, but he did not know why the Eye-Bearing Star Lord suddenly attracted him.
"Divine Lord..." Zhao Wu was startled and was about to speak when the Eye-Bearing Star Lord grabbed his neck. The Star Lord gave him a smile, then bent his five fingers and crushed his neck!
The Divine Body was rapidly decomposed into pure divine power.
"This..." Zhao Wu's eyes widened, his face full of confusion.
"Zhao Wu, I'm sorry, but there's a reason I've kept this card until now. Before, most of my divine power was tied up by the nascent Embryonic Spirit Land, making it impossible to secure your capture. Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited until now; I would have used it to suppress Min Yuan long ago. I hope you can understand me."
After saying this, the Star Lord of the Eyes turned the light in his hand, and the divine light instantly engulfed Zhao Wu's divine body, causing him to lose his human form and transform into a bead. With a flick of his finger, he sent it flying to the old Daoist's side!
"This is...?" The old Daoist's Divine Radiance was stained with cat blood. He immediately turned his whisk and flashed out of the blood-red five-colored light, coming face to face with the bead!
He had seen what the Eye-Bearing Star Lord done, but he did not know the reason behind it.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The bead trembled, emitting twenty-three rays of light that shot out in different directions, instantly transcending the boundaries of the Continent and heading into the depths of the universe.
Then, the old Daoist felt a sudden heaviness, realizing that his strength and spirit were being imprisoned by a powerful force!
Certainly!
"Hmm? Could it be Divine Path Law Treasure? There aren't many Law Treasure that can trap me!" His expression suddenly darkened.
Eye-Bearing Star Lord shook his head and walked slowly over. "This is not Law Treasure can compare to. Do you know how much effort I put into finding this person? After this ordeal, it will take who knows how many years to raise him to maturity and for the next generation to take shape. But if I can gain a Guardian Deity in return, it will all be worth it!"
"Coming this way, does the Star Lord think he has this me cornered?" A cold glint flashed in the old Daoist's eyes as he watched the approaching Eye-Bearing Star Lord. Then, the small world in his chest suddenly expanded, enveloping him completely, and the binding force instantly disappeared.
The surrounding space shattered, and the earth shook violently!
Eye-Bearing Star Lord shook his head again. "No, no, the reason I came here is because the place I was Original Edition in was too dangerous." Before he finished speaking, pieces of characters flew through the air and passed right through the place where he was originally.
"Oh?" The old Daoist raised an eyebrow. "So it was that god who disturbed this world who made the move. He really doesn't know what's good for him. I was fighting with the Star Lord, how could someone of his level interfere? Very well, I originally wanted to leave him until the end to find out his methods, but since this god has sought his own death, I can't stop him!"
Having said that, he threw his whisk, which landed inside the layers of stacked word blocks and chains, suddenly expanding and crashing towards the Divine Spirit Body!
