Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1443 - 782: Returning to Void Perfection, Entering the Beast Path

Thunder spears rained down fiercely, their dazzling glare stabbing at the eyes, unleashing a fearsome force intent on obliterating all in its path, crashing downward at breakneck speed.

Atop the blood lotus, the Red-bearded Elder held his calm in the face of peril, abruptly slamming his palm onto the lotus seat under him, which triggered a massive surge of crimson radiance from the lotus.

The crimson radiance morphed right away into a horde of blood swords, smashing straight into the downpour of thunder spears, like two deadly blades clashing together.

Boom, boom, boom...

In a flash, the crimson glow fragmented, bolts of lightning raged chaotically, and a huge cloud of bloody mist ballooned outward, with endless sparks of electricity and blood rays twisting around each other, devouring and annihilating one another as they rushed in every direction.

Zhao Sheng advanced a single step, materializing high above the Red-bearded Elder, stretching out his right arm with fingers splayed open, and shoving downward toward the area below.

The motion looked sluggish, but in truth, it struck as quick as a bolt of lightning.

The Red-bearded Elder’s face twisted in alarm, sensing the air around him harden into an unyielding cage, while the massive "hand" looming above grew endlessly larger, eclipsing the heavens and blotting out the light, filling his whole field of view.

"Blood Lotus Dharma Aspect, twelve layers unite!"

With doom closing in, the Red-bearded Elder’s soul quaked fiercely, and he bellowed out in wild desperation.

In that split second, the blood lotus curled inward rapidly, its petals layering up one after another, condensing into a scarlet sphere that hung motionless in the emptiness, shining with intense luster.

Wherever the crimson rays swept, the space hardened a thousandfold on the spot, tougher than steel barriers by a billion times over.

Boom...

A pale, delicate hand "gently" pierced the barrier of space, landing on the crimson orb without a hint of flair or fury.

Right then, an inconceivable burst of might erupted from the palm, smashing through the twelve layers of Will Barriers in one strike, with the leftover energy drilling straight in and slamming into the Red-bearded Elder’s frame.

Crack!

The Red-bearded Elder’s form cracked like fragile china, instantly riddled with myriad fissures. From those splits, bizarre crimson beams burst forth.

Zhao Sheng’s gaze shifted faintly, and in a blink, a colossal thunder spirit with three heads and six arms materialized behind him, its limbs whipping about as the six palms extended toward various points in the void, drawing in bolts of lightning.

What had appeared as barren emptiness abruptly unveiled a cluster of crimson glow, from which the Red-bearded Elder’s terrified visage surfaced amid the light, his lips parting to beg for his life.

Zhao Sheng offered no pity, the six palms clamping down hard, instantly pulverizing the Red-bearded Elder’s primordial spirit into oblivion.

At this instant, a clear, many-sided crystal dropped from the sky, only to be snagged by a sweep of will and pulled straight into Zhao Sheng’s grasp.

At the same time, the Will Dharma Form at his back thrust out another limb, shoving toward a different battleground.

The limb elongated without end, swelling hugely, the hand resembling a towering peak as it descended upon the One-eyed Giant’s skull, seeming leisurely but striking in a flash.

The One-eyed Giant’s essence fractured, its lone eye firing a brilliant ray at the enormous hand, but it couldn’t even scratch a whisker.

Ah!

The One-eyed Giant managed just a piercing wail of agony before getting smashed into mush.

A ripple of will swept by, dissolving the mush into vapor at once, leaving behind only a warped and crooked massive axe on the earth.

Qi Wu Yan froze in place, his features contorted with astonishment.

Kuimu Xiao subtly repositioned himself, looking frightened too.

Qi Wu Yan had known Senior Zhao’s cultivation ran deep, yet he never imagined his strength would prove this overwhelming.

Within mere heartbeats, two mighty adversaries lay defeated—how could terror not grip the heart?

Zhao Sheng descended gradually to the ground, eyeing the many-sided strange crystal in his palm, his look pensive.

He never could have guessed the Red-bearded Elder belonged to the Alien Demon clan; he’d failed to pierce the disguise earlier.

Thinking back on Senior Wu Hua’s warnings, a chill truly crept in upon deeper reflection!

Qi Wu Yan drew in a heavy breath, advanced a pace, cupped his hands at his chest, and bowed low: "Senior Zhao, your divine might has vanquished two enemies! This junior stands in awe."

Zhao Sheng snapped out of his reverie at these words, responding steadily: "This is a minor thing, not worthy of mention."

With that, he shifted topics, inquiring: "Taoist Qi, which portal should we choose next, it’s up to you."

Qi Wu Yan heard this, glanced around, pacing between the two portals, apparently torn.

After a short pause, Qi Wu Yan’s face set with resolve, and he indicated the northern portal: "Let’s choose the ’Victorious Entry’ portal, for good fortune."

Zhao Sheng gave a nod, raising no issues.

As for Kuimu Xiao, he stayed utterly quiet, allowing Qi Wu Yan to decide.

Qi Wu Yan was on the verge of stepping off, when Zhao Sheng halted him abruptly: "Wait, let Taoist Kuimu go first."

Hearing this, Kuimu Xiao’s face tightened, but he inclined his head gradually, replying: "Alright, I’ll go first!"

With those words, he lumbered his enormous frame forward, striding toward the northern portal.

A handful of steps in, Kuimu Xiao plunged into the portal without a second thought, vanishing from view.

Witnessing this, Zhao Sheng faced Qi Wu Yan and stated: "I go second, you be last."

No sooner had he spoken than he turned into a streak of light, slipping into the portal.

Qi Wu Yan’s look flickered, sensing profoundly that his long years of effort and patience had paid off,

Senior Zhao truly is someone one can trust!

...

A burst of brightness filled his sight, and Zhao Sheng found himself once more in a stark white realm.

Hmm?

As the Will Field unfurled, he abruptly detected an oddity in the space, like the atmosphere brimmed with an enigmatic energy.

The very moment the Will Field spread out, threads of that enigmatic energy slipped effortlessly into the Will Field, racing along the pulses of will and flooding wildly into the Purple Mansion Soul Sea.

The shift hit without warning, Zhao Sheng’s mind raced at full tilt, promptly locking the void tight with the Will Field in a bid to halt the enigmatic energy’s advance.
