A white-robed cultivator appeared in the arena with the voice, exuding an air of grace and refinement, yet his face was etched with murderous intent!
Mo Qi felt a great sense of relief, as if a massive problem had been solved!
"Thank you!" Mo Qi said.
Peeking stealthily, he realized this person's cultivation was unfathomably deep, likely far surpassing Fu Tian and Hua Xianfu.
Just by standing there, he exuded a terrifying oppressive aura.
"Who goes there?" Mo Qi asked.
"Gui Ba Wan!" the newcomer replied coldly.
Huh? Mo Qi was perplexed.
Didn't the larger the number, the more foolish one became?
Gui Si was dumber than Gui San, and Gui Wu was dumber than Gui Si. How had it reversed by the time it reached him?
"You are covered in blood, you killed so many of my people. Today is your retribution," Gui Ba Wan declared.
"Likewise," Mo Qi stated calmly. "If we're talking about killing, your Divine Turtle Island wreaks havoc everywhere, killing far more people than I could ever hope to."
"What does it matter to you who I kill?" Gui Ba Wan retorted.
"It doesn't matter," Mo Qi shrugged. "I'm just saying, we're going to fight anyway."
"Fight?" Gui Ba Wan sneered. "You think too highly of yourself. It's I who will be fighting you!"
"Eight Directions Wind!" As he spoke, Gui Ba Wan formed a hand seal. The wind and clouds shifted, and the surrounding space abruptly changed its environment, as if Mo Qi and he had suddenly moved to another dimension.
The entire space began to spin rapidly, and Mo Qi felt dizzy and disoriented, almost collapsing to the ground.
What kind of sorcery was this? Da Feng Novel Network
Mo Qi felt helpless and utterly lost!
As the space spun, it began to contract at an alarming rate!
Mo Qi felt pressure from all directions, as if his body were about to be crushed.
The feeling of suffocation intensified with each passing moment!
He attempted to break free from the space, employing his Golden Light Shrinking Ground Technique, transforming into a point of light and colliding with the barrier.
As the barrier spun, it forcefully repelled him, sending him back to the center.
This was the result of several attempts.
Furthermore, no matter where he moved, he was pushed back to the center.
While he struggled to break free, the space continued to shrink, relentlessly squeezing his body.
He felt as if his internal organs were about to burst!
In this confined space, he dared not experiment with his Bursting Pill.
After much thought, he retrieved his Qiankun Ring and flung it out. The ring spun and returned, as if it hadn't touched the barrier at all.
He tried again, with the same result!
His heart grew increasingly panicked!
The pressure of impending death loomed closer.
It was like a drowning person struggling desperately in the water.
Mo Qi took out his Xuanyuan Sword and slashed it through the air. A dazzling beam of light flashed and vanished, accompanied by a popping sound in the air!
Immediately, the entire space began to spin even faster, and the rate of contraction became even more pronounced!
Mo Qi was greatly alarmed, his mind filled with a buzzing sound.
It seemed as if everything was about to end!
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him. In this situation, could he try to deploy the Qian Yuan Golden Light Formation?
With a flick of his right hand, he tapped his storage bag. Four formation flags flew out like streaks of lightning, shooting towards the four directions and disappearing into the air.
He placed the formation eye artifact in the appropriate position, then sat down quietly, channeling his spiritual power.
Tendrils of light energy emanated from the four formation flags, flowing and connecting end-to-end in the air, forming a circular shape.
As the space compressed to the position of the light ring, its contraction rate gradually slowed.
A creaking sound arose, like two forces tearing and grinding against each other.
Sporadic flashes of light appeared at the location of the light ring, sparks flying, and colorful lights began to orbit the space.
The external space's compression trend gradually halted!
Mo Qi, sitting in the center, was no longer passively spinning, and his dizziness and blurred vision subsided.
Gui Ba Wan, outside, was greatly astonished!
What… what kind of formation was this?
This was the first time he had encountered someone who used a formation to counter his Eight Directions Wind!
I don't care what your formation is. After all, your cultivation is limited. Let's see how long you can last.
Gui Ba Wan changed his hand seals and pointed sharply. The invisible barrier suddenly lit up, and the creaking sound intensified, becoming more violent and frequent.
Mo Qi consumed several potentiality pills, and the spiritual energy within him surged like a colossal dragon, churning and crashing.
Under his hand seals and guidance, the spiritual energy flowed like water, slowly entering the formation, gradually strengthening and reinforcing it.
The surrounding light ring became even more brilliant. Although fragments of light energy were peeled away from time to time, like peeling wallpaper, the overall light ring remained unaffected.
The barrier could not be compressed any further.
Gui Ba Wan was enraged!
As a True Immortal, how could he not handle a cultivator in the Tribulation Stage?
Wouldn't he be laughed at if this got out?
In reality, Gui Ba Wan could have easily vaporized Mo Qi with a simple palm strike, but to prevent Mo Qi from escaping, he employed his ultimate technique.
This divine ability could turn a person to ashes!
As long as he could defeat them, once they entered his attack range, no one could escape!
But this Mo Qi stubbornly refused to die obediently!
It was infuriating.
Gui Ba Wan, so angry he felt like spitting blood, formed another hand seal and pointed sharply. With a deafening roar, the barrier ignited.
Flames instantly surged dozens of feet high, and the space in the center transformed into a blazing fireball.
Within the confined space, it instantly became a furnace, theoretically capable of turning anything inside into ashes in an instant.
At this moment, Linghu Xiaoxian, who was observing from a distance, saw the sky-piercing flames and surmised that something had happened. She intended to disengage and fly over to investigate, but Gui Shi San blocked her.
Linghu Xiaoxian, both angry and anxious, struck Gui Shi San with her Golden Cudgel, which glowed with a golden light. Gui Shi San cried out, "Xuantian Turtle Shell," and conjured an object, displaying it in the air.
The object resembled a turtle shell, with turtle patterns on its raised portions. Red light emanated from these patterns, forming a framed light, which then transformed into a swirling mass of light and surged forward. With a sweep, it struck the Golden Cudgel, causing it to wobble and nearly fall.
Linghu Xiaoxian hastily formed hand seals, channeling her spiritual power and responding with utmost seriousness, no longer daring to be distracted.
After consuming some medicinal herbs, Mo Qi began refining pills within the sea of flames.
His entire body gradually turned red, almost blending into the fiery expanse.
Gui Ba Wan, using his Heavenly Eye divine ability, observed the situation within and was greatly astonished.
His anger intensified, strengthening his resolve to eliminate the opponent, while also solidifying his conviction that he could destroy him.
Since I've already trapped you and you can't escape, I'll play with you slowly, and eventually, I'll wear you down.
At this moment, swarms of turtles began to land on a large scale.
With no obstacles in their path, it seemed they would soon occupy the entire island.
Just then, the wind and clouds over the sea shifted, and the waves churned. Layers of colossal waves, like a hundred thousand galloping horses, roared forward, their deafening sound echoing through the heavens. The sound of each cresting wave struck directly at the heart, making one's heart pound as if it were about to shatter.
Gui Ba Wan, channeling his spiritual power, couldn't help but turn to look, only to see the monstrous waves rolling in.
The swarms of turtles were instantly submerged in a vast expanse of water. Many heads emerged from the sea, gradually rising, and then, treading on the water as if walking on land.
They possessed human-like outlines, yet retained some characteristics of marine species. For instance, some had shells on their backs, some had two pincers for hands, and some retained the shape of fish mouths.
Having resided in the sea for a long time, Gui Ba Wan naturally recognized these as the Dragon Palace's army.
Those figures suddenly dove back into the sea, the water churning. Moments later, many turtle corpses began to float to the surface.
The beach was once again empty!
The Divine Turtle Island had wreaked havoc at sea, and the Dragon Palace had never intervened directly, always turning a blind eye. But this time, what did their actions signify? Were they intending to declare war?
While Gui Ba Wan was still in a daze, a white dragon emerged from the sea with its head held high. After circling briefly in the air, it suddenly charged towards Gui Ba Wan.
It unleashed a breath of dragon's breath, "Vibration Wave!"
The air rippled like a breeze on a calm lake, creating shimmering water waves!
The ripples enveloped Gui Ba Wan, as if he were wearing a water-colored garment.
Gui Ba Wan was forced to cease channeling his spiritual power to maintain the barrier and retreated rapidly.
However, the ripples followed him like a shadow, clinging to him until they firmly locked on. From these ripples, they began to spread outwards, as if intending to tear him apart.
But Gui Ba Wan paid it no mind. Such power could not tear apart his nearly indestructible body, so he allowed it to spread.
As a result, his form began to expand infinitely, and in an instant, he floated upwards, almost becoming spherical, completely losing his human form.
Moments later, his entire body covered nearly half of the island.
The people fighting on the other side of the island, locked in a fierce battle, all stopped fighting and looked up in unison, witnessing this bizarre spectacle.
"What is that? Is someone ascending?"
"How is that possible? I've never seen such an ugly ascension."
At this moment, Mo Qi, within the barrier, discovered that without Gui Ba Wan's spiritual power reinforcement, the barrier had weakened considerably, seeming as if it would shatter at the slightest touch. He then took out his Xuanyuan Sword and slashed it through the air. With a thunderous roar, sparks flew in all directions.
The light energy shattered like broken glass, dissipating into the air.
Sparks and fragments shot out in all directions, towards the sky and the ground.
