Chapter 665 Golden Pitcher (1/2)
Ultimately, Jing Shu did not have the nuanced state of Dao as Shen Lian had. Hence, she was unable to discover this secret. Nonetheless, her Kunpeng demonic form was truly exceptional for it had supported her to this state and it could support her subsequently.
Her tender skin had lost most of its moisture and some parts of her flesh had started to decay. The pain of nails piercing into her flesh was unbearable. Nevertheless, this intensity of pain was not compatible with the Band-tightening Spell.
The heavy mist became denser. Although Jing Shu and Shen Lian were in close proximity, they could not see each other. The mist started to swirl like a gliding gigantic snake and engulfed both of them.
Shen Lian opened his eyes carelessly. Finally, they have reached the last moment.
Internally, Shen Lian lowered his validation of this Yellow River of nine provinces Formation. This was because its dwindling stage caused by extreme thriving had happened too early. Clearly, the person who laid this formation did not understand the Three Spheres sufficiently. If Empress Yun Xiao laid this formation herself, even if it was not complete, he would still be in enormous danger.
However, this did not mean that Shen Lian could belittle this person for he knew that this opponent would not only have a single technique. Of course, everything must wait until he had butchered that snake-like mist.
It was created from the condensation of all Yellow River of nine provinces Formation's mighty force. Despite Shen Lian had concealed his mind and spirit within the seed of heaven and earth, he was still uncontrollably perturbed.
He knew that this indicated the destabilization of his Primordial Spirit. If he extracted his Primordial Spirit from the seed of heaven and earth, the situation would only worsen.
The snake twisted its body and entangled Shen Lian in circles. When viewed afar, it seemed that there was a gigantic snake entwining a young lad amongst black mist. The snake contracted gradually and it seemed that the young lad would ultimately end up as a pool of blood.
Though Jing Shu felt much better, she was still attacked by the pervasive mist. Moreover, her demonic form was severely damaged and had no energy left.
When she saw Shen Lian, she thought, ”Is he someone of no use?”
Shen Lian was completely enveloped by the gigantic snake. The snake's circulating body appeared like levels of the pagoda where the ground level of the nine-storied building had Shen Lian securely suppressed.
Jing Shu was shaken aside. All she could do was to witness Shen Lian being completely engulfed by the gigantic snake.
Given that she originated from the Kunpeng clan, she had occult techniques to survive in desperate circumstances. However, Shen Lian was not worth her help. Moreover, the price she had to pay in order to perform that occult technique was unbearable. Nevertheless, sister Kui Li seemed to have a good relationship with him and Jing Shu did not want Shen Lian to collapse.
When she was in dilemma, Shen Lian was surrounded by complete darkness. His senses only managed to detect darkness.
All sounds had vanished. At the same time, he knew that his Primordial Spirit was weakening at an unprecedented speed. Even the seed of heaven and earth could not protect him from this crisis.
Shen Lian seemed to have fallen into a state alike to the time when the world was first created. A state where karma was unknown, misfortunate trials were hidden and supernatural powers were unfounded. However, his heart of Dao became clearer and the Dao of Yi was churning speedily. Ultimately, this enabled him to 'witness' an image. It was a Golden Pitcher. With a look of the pitcher, he knew that it signified the birth of heaven and earth, everything had begun fresh anew.
It seemed that the seed of heaven and earth was also influenced by this vital force such that it started to bud.
There was a flow of luster between his brows. The image of the Golden Pitcher deeply influenced the seed of heaven and earth. The seed started to change and grew eventually. It ultimately became a smaller version of the Golden Pitcher.
Shen Lian carefully investigated the location of the Golden Pitcher. Without hesitation, he attacked with a punch. That attack comprised all of his useable mana. A hole was blasted out of the snake's body. Given that the last punch landed in emptiness, cracking sounds were heard.
