A long wait might not necessarily shake one?s beliefs. However, when one could not see a trace of hope and was assailed continuously with trials and tribulations without no sign of improvement, one?s faith would naturally be eroded.
Those with a stronger will would view these tribulations as tests of resolve and a form of cultivation.
However, while the path ahead was not just thorny and perilous, but on the verge of completely breaking apart, even those with a strong will would gradually lose hope.
Normally, Buddhist cultivators were all rather resolute. They were able to see through human nature and discern their true selves. Hence, their resolve would not shake so easily.
Yet, for these people, the moment doubts started appearing in their minds, it was harder to eliminate. If they deviated from the right path, they would easily end up as extremists.
For many Buddhist cultivators, they were in an unprecedented state of confusion and loss.
In the Kunlun Mountains, the Virtuous Zen Master placed his palms together. With a solemn expression, he chanted Buddhist scriptures.
He looked in the direction of the Great Thunderclap Temple with a look of sorrow on his face. However, his state of mind was still rather calm. In his mind, there was a safe place he could retreat into. There, he obtained Nirvana, where no bitterness could enter.
There, a pure, yet arcane, light shone. It appeared small and almost invisible. However, it was able to illuminate his entire mind and even the Kunlun Mountains, bringing about bliss and joy. This infinite amount of light illuminated all his surroundings.
In the location of the former Great Thunderclap Temple, the entire mountain range had been wrecked. The black hole in the sky continued to expand and the sand and gravel from the ground continued to be swept into mid-air and were devoured by the black hole.
Lin Feng flew skyward and his entire body entered the black hole too. Soon, the Golden Roc Grand Sage, Yan Nanlai, and Liang Pan entered the black hole too.
In the black hole, there was nothing but chaos before Lin Feng. He could not discern anything.
Seven-colored light circled around his body and gradually expanded. Stirring the space inside, a vast amount of purple light started to appear.
This purple light was like the ocean, limitless and boundless. It was infinite and yet, it did not touch Lin Feng.
While Lin Feng was surrounded by this purple light, it was clear that he was in a separate world.
Outside the black hole, Lin Feng and the rest could feel the power of purple light inside. While it was dimmer and not as intense as that from the bone just now, it was enough to rattle their hearts. At the same time, it appeared stronger and more vast.
However, when they entered the black hole, this ocean of purple light did not give off any special aura. It was unlike normal demonic spiritual energy, which was violent and brutal, and yet, it was not ethereal. Instead, it resembled the most primal form of energy there was.
This spiritual energy was, however, pure and concentrated. For that short moment, Lin Feng felt as if he had returned to the Spirit Sea.
However, this sea of purple light was left behind after the death of the Hades Emperor. Hence, it was ultimately not as infinite and boundless as the Spirit Sea.
Even so, the amount of energy here was so concentrated and vast that even powerful cultivators like Lin Feng, Yan Nanlai, Liang Pan and the Golden Roc Grand Sage had to look twice.
?Strange, why does the spiritual energy here feel strong on the outside but weaker on the inside?? Lin Feng did not rejoice at this discovery but instead, he felt that something was amiss.
Through careful analysis, Lin Feng felt that the ocean of purple light was not as strong as it seemed from the outside.
This discovery aroused his suspicion. Earlier, this area was lost in void space. The Golden Roc Grand Sage was probably the first to open it.
If it was depleted, where did it go?
?Without any sign of demonic aura, original true spirit, or demon soul, the Hades Emperor is indeed dead. He couldn?t be here, trying to borrow someone else?s body and come back to life, right?? Lin Feng?s gaze darkened. ?If it?s not the Hades Emperor, who is it??
As he thought, he traversed through the sea of purple light. While this area severely impeded his supernatural awareness, Lin Feng was still able to pinpoint the Golden Roc Grand Sage?s location.
At this moment, the Golden Roc Grand Sage was in a sour mood too. An uncertain look crossed his face.
After careful sensing, he felt that the sea of purple light in the black hole was not as perfect as he thought it was. ?Someone came here before me, who can it be?!?
Yan Nanlai stood in the sea of purple light and his gaze flashed too. ?Could it be the hidden Hades Tribe? However, it doesn?t feel like them. I cannot sense any demonic power or any demonic supernatural awareness.?
Liang Pan stood in the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai and said nothing. The Imperial Palace?s mana spread forth and it tried to come into contact with the purple light by breaking the dimensional barrier between them. He wanted to harvest the purple light.
In the black hole, in the sea of purple light, space was still rather chaotic. However, Yan Nanlai quickly discovered that the Golden Roc Grand Sage was not too far from him.
The light around Yan Nanlai flashed and the Great Void Seal on the back of his left hand came alive. Light spread from it and it was as if many rays of light were dancing and flying about in the void.
In a short time, white clouds appeared and golden light flashed. There appeared to be countless human figures in the white clouds and golden light chanting.
Yan Nanlai?s left hand appeared to be holding a raoling (Translator?s Note: A raoling is a string-based instrument Chinese instrument. It looks like a long wooden plank with strings attached to it) and the beautiful music that came from it appeared to have come from the realm of the gods. It was the voice of heaven.
This was the eighth spell of the Great Void Nine Heavenly Spells, the Shen Heaven Holy Paradise!
This Holy Paradise conjured up a powerful energy and split the sea of purple light apart. Then, it crushed toward the Golden Roc Grand Sage.
When he saw the situation, the Golden Roc Grand Sage snorted but he dared not dally. He flapped his two wings and as he extended his wings, which seemed big enough to shroud the skies, a torrential rain of golden light came straight for Yan Nanlai.
As the light flashed, the Golden Roc Grand Sage?s already humongous form became even bigger. His fearsome energy was revealed as he revealed his true form.
The two types light clashed and Yan Nanlai thought, ?While this demon?s progress in crossing the tribulations is slower than the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, it is still very fast. The last I heard in the Ying Sea, he has only crossed the Cardinal Tribulations once or twice.?
?When Lin Feng went to the Barren Expanses to battle with the Earth Celestial Dragon and the Golden Cicada, after the Golden Cicada was crippled by the Ten Thousand Mantra Ape, this demon pursued the Golden Cicada with the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. It appears that he had benefitted much from that, which helped him cross the tribulations and the weak phase afterward.?
As he thought about it, Yan Nanlai did not dare slow down. The Golden Roc Grand Sage?s speed was the fastest among demons of his level, especially after he had revealed his true form. All Yan Nanlai could see was a ray of golden light flashing.
This speed transcended space itself, making the difference in space meaningless.
Among the demons, the Golden Roc Grand Sage was universally recognized as being able to travel at godspeed. Against humans, his advantage was maximized.
However, the teleportation spells of the Great Void Sect were extraordinary too. Yan Nanlai revealed his Heaven-Ascending Spell and his Flow of Light and Space and used them creatively. Soon, he was battling with the Golden Roc Grand Sage.
The unpredictable and indescribable Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light around him activated once more. While it looked ordinary, the Golden Roc Grand Sage took great precautions around it.
As long as the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light touched him, the Golden Roc Grand Sage?s speed would massively slow down. It was akin to being caught in mud.
In terms of physical strength and demonic spells, the Golden Roc Tribe could hold its own. They were fiercer than most demons, but once they lost their speed, the effectiveness of their other attacks would drop too. Hence, how would the Golden Roc Grand Sage be willing to forgo this advantage of his?
Every time the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light almost touched him and got a grip on him, the Golden Roc Grand Sage?s golden feathers would flash violently purple.
As the purple light flashed, it was able to instantly block off Yan Nanlai?s Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light, preventing it from getting a hold on the Golden Roc Grand Sage.
However, with the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light protecting him, it was hard for the Golden Roc Grand Sage to attack Yan Nanlai.
The Golden Roc Grand Sage?s icy-cold eyes shone with a demonic light. His talons started to get cloaked by a layer of purple light. In the purple light, countless ancient runes could be seen, completely enveloping his talons. A horrifying power that seemed capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart could be felt.
At that moment, the sea of purple light split open and as a seven-colored light flashed, Lin Feng appeared.
He raised his head to look at the intense battle between Yan Nanlai and the Golden Roc Grand Sage and shook his head, ?Cultivating the Hades? Dark Mantra made you much more powerful than ordinary Golden Rocs who survived the Cardinal Tribulations. However, without that bone, there isn?t much to you.?
As he said that, Lin Feng too attacked with no mercy. He pushed his palm forward and with his own mana, he activated the Change of Infinite Two Elements of his Two Elements of Creation Formation. An infinite amount of light turned into a giant palm bigger than the Golden Roc Grand Sage?s true form and grabbed at him.
The Golden Roc Grand Sage flapped his wings and tried to escape as fast as he could.
However, Lin Feng?s giant palm flashed with halos of seven-colored light. Then, he revealed his Celestial Sect Teleportation Technique. The five fingers of his palms were then able to trap the Golden Roc Grand Sage.
No matter how fast he flew, he was unable to escape from the zone-of-control imposed by Lin Feng.
However, the Golden Roc Tribe was famous for their speed. While he was affected by Lin Feng?s Celestial Sect Teleportation Technique, they were still fast and hard-to-catch. Like flashing golden light in the void, no one could trace his exact location.
However, in the center of Lin Feng?s giant palm, there was a blurred light. Where the light touched, time appeared to have stopped. Everything there turned white and gray.
Covered by the Horizon Universal Light, the Golden Roc Grand Sage?s form became clearer.
As he looked at Lin Feng?s palms crashing down toward him, the Golden Roc Grand Sage cawed sharply, and he expanded his two wings. He revealed his talons and forcibly grabbed at void space and then tearing at it.
The void space was instantly torn apart and a huge tear appeared. The space that was torn apart was reduced to nothing.
Yet, at the very moment he did that, Lin Feng slammed his palms together and he was caught by Lin Feng?s Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell.
The Golden Roc Grand Sage?s eyes shone with an eye-piercing light. The golden feathers around his body became cloaked with a purple light, turning him purple.
At the same time, the sea of purple light where everyone was lost its calm. Gradually, it became more and more turbulent.
