Chapter 1078: Chapter 729: Hidden Depths
Wu Kaimo’s guess was correct, Xiang Beifei indeed had no way to control the Ruishui River at this time.
The Yu Divine Stele had drained too much of his Spiritual Power, and he hadn’t fully recovered yet. If he were to use the Yu Divine Stele again to control the Ruishui River of the Ancestral Dao Realm, he simply couldn’t do it.
At this moment, the Dayan Jinshou had been triggered, and in the place where Xiang Beifei was, a terrifying yellow light fell from the sky. These lights carried an incomparably formidable devouring force, swallowing any Spiritual Power released.
An attack of the early stage of Ascension Dao!
Xiang Beifei gritted his teeth; in this state, there was absolutely no way to resist—he could only quickly run to another area.
In front of him was a land of frost, everything was frozen white; if he charged in, he might be powerless to escape. Helplessly, he headed towards a safer region.
But just as he reached this corner, suddenly two figures sprang out!
Experts from the later stage of the Dao Palace’s Inquiring Dao!
"He’s here!" the burly man with bushy whiskers shouted.
Xiang Beifei let out a low growl, intending to fight to the death with the burly man when, from the distance, another terrifying pressure descended suddenly, striking him and bringing him down!
Buzz!
Wu Kaimo had already appeared in front of him!
And not just him, seven experts sent by the Dao Palace had all arrived in an instant!
"Finally found you."
Wu Kaimo looked at Xiang Beifei lying on the ground with a cold sneer and flicked his hand again; whoosh! whoosh! Several powerful brown lights formed into a sharp prison, suppressing him!
Xiang Beifei felt as if his entire body was being crushed by a mountain. The power of the later stage of Ascension Dao was simply too strong for him. At this time, he had not fully recovered and could not even muster the strength to move.
"He managed to break into the Dayan Jinshou, using his Eternal Realm strength to kill both Demon Race and Charm Race members, and then, facing my clone, broke through to the Inquiring Dao Realm and destroyed my clone—truly worthy of being the Human King’s son!"
Wu Kaimo gazed at Xiang Beifei with a chilling glare, quickly sneering again: "But you will end here. Every Human Race member looks like pathetic maggots to me, thinking they could contend against us Dao Palace, simply overestimating themselves!"
Even though he knew Xiang Beifei had been forced into a tight spot, Wu Kaimo did not give Xiang Beifei any more opportunities. His clone was too careless earlier and got eradicated by Xiang Beifei; now, his true self had come, and there was no need to delay any further.
He coldly laughed: "To avoid long nights bringing dreams, I might as well cripple you first!"
Buzz!
Brown lights suddenly pressed down on Xiang Beifei. The brown light was extremely terrifying, enough to crush Xiang Beifei into dust!
What Wu Kaimo wanted to do was to create holes in Xiang Beifei’s soul, crippling his Inquiring Dao Realm cultivation, so he would fall to the Heavenly Connection level, making him easier to control!
Xiang Beifei had no chance to resist, only able to watch as the attack fell upon him.
But at this moment, a calm voice suddenly rang out.
"How dare you touch the little guy under my protection?"
Bang!
A huge handprint suddenly appeared in the sky, directly smacking down on Wu Kaimo’s attack. Wu Kaimo’s face changed dramatically; he hadn’t anticipated this strike nor did he know where it had come from!
Pu chi!
Wu Kaimo spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backward and crashing to the ground, even punching a big hole in the solid steel floor!
As the dust settled, a person appeared in front of Xiang Beifei.
Xiang Beifei was slightly stunned too, looking with great surprise at the person standing before him.
It was actually the Diviner!
"You—"
Xiang Beifei looked in shock at the Diviner’s back; at this moment, the aura from the Diviner was nowhere near the later stage of Eternal Realm but rather an extremely terrifying later stage of Ascension Dao, even a hundred times stronger than Wu Kaimo!
But looking at the system interface of the Diviner’s Dao embryo, he again wore a perplexed expression.
[Executor of Dao: Diviner]
[Dao embryo: Divination Dao]
[Realm: Later stage of Eternal Life]
...
The Dao embryo interface of the Diviner still showed the later stage of Eternal Life!
But why did he exude a cultivation far stronger than Wu Kaimo’s?
The Diviner turned his head, still smiling amiably as always, with his two long white brows hanging down, swaying lightly.
"Little guy, you haven’t answered me yet, what do you think I’ll do next?"
The Diviner playfully winked at Xiang Beifei.
Xiang Beifei was speechless; he couldn’t quite understand what was up with the Diviner.
"Haha! I was expecting this reaction from you."
The Diviner laughed and snapped his fingers!
Crack!
The constraints surrounding Xiang Beifei imposed by Wu Kaimo shattered!
Xiang Beifei arduously got up, panting, and stared at the Diviner.
Was the Diviner helping him?
Wasn’t this old man with the Dao Palace?
Was he acting in front of me on purpose? Or—
Xiang Beifei could not determine.
"Who are you?"
Wu Kaimo, both furious and shocked, climbed up, looking at the suddenly appearing old man in front of him!
One must know that he was at the later stage of Ascension Dao, just below the Ancestral Dao Realm, and even now coming as his true self. Yet he hadn’t anticipated, upon first encounter, being smacked away by the opponent in one blow!
The other six from the Dao Palace were also extraordinarily shocked, gathering together to look at the Diviner ahead.
The Diviner remained genial, stroking his beard with a smile: "I didn’t intend to intervene in this matter, but you all insisted on bringing trouble upon yourselves, what else could I do?"
