As soon as Shen Lian said those words, the Golden Light Deity felt a hint of fear. Shen Lian looked to be near and distant, vague and clear as if God was instilling its punishments onto those who offended him.
And it was as if this punishment towards Golden Light Deity was ultimate and irreversible.
Golden Light Deity felt a great sense of fury. It could not believe that he would lose to a junior. It ignored all warning signs from its spiritual sense, all its golden hair stood up like pricks. It used all its might to squeeze out every bit of energy without care that this action might cause this flesh body to dissipate into dust.
As a cultivator who had reached the state of Taiyi, it could not accept the fact it had passed its prime and the fact that Shen Lian was only a junior who stole the imprint of Shang Qing Primordial Spirit. If a true disciple of Shang Qing like itself was defeated, even if no one knew about this, it could never deceive its own heart into forgetting this painful lesson.
It stood motionless in the void. It opened its mouth wide and then a loud roar was heard. The void turned into waves of ocean under the spell of this roar. The sound notes then turned in many fierce creatures, all hopping around the direction and chasing each other.
Many years ago, Shen Lian used to witness a skill of Fairy Tianmeng from Taisu Sect, the Tianyin Transformation Skill. If compared to this Yinyin Transformation by Golden Hair Roar, the former was no match to it.
The dimension was really on the edge of disintegration and losing its stability due to Golden Hair Roar’s growl. Those fierce creatures formed from its voice were seen floating around the dimension, ready to fight and tear down the dimension, no weaker than any incarnation formed by the Daoist cultivations.
Every fierce creature had spine-chilling strength, all charging towards Shen Lian to bite him.
Its entire powerful aura was enough to shake any fairy and god.
At the same time, the roar of Golden Hair Roar never stopped to enhancing the strength of the creatures.
Shen Lian was delighted instead of being fearful. This roar had to be the very well known, highest ranking Lion Roar.
Shen Lian formed a ball in his hands, the ball was filled with two Qi of Yin and Yang, black and red colored. These were the heavenly seeds harvested from the source of Yin and Yang from his red cinnabar. As Shen Lian gestured, the ball of black and red Qi instantly turned into an ever-rotating swirl pool of Yin Yang. The entire rumbling dimension started to calm down as all the creatures were sucked into this swirl pool and vanished.
It was only then Golden Hair Deity realized that its spiritual sense was not mistaken. It had missed the best opportunity. The Swirl Pool of Yin Yang possessed this strong gravitational pull which it could never run away from unless its mana could be restored to its original state.
Actually, this was the first time Shen Lian used this Swirl Pool of Yin Yang, so he had not clearly estimated the magnitude of its power.
However this swirl pool’s ability to absorb everything in view was a copy of how the heavenly seed took in all kinds of energy. But this swirl pool had a large flaw, which was that a high-level cultivator would have the ability to dodge or escape from the suction of this swirl pool.
It was just that the Golden Light Deity had lost the last chance of escape due to its own pride.
The body of Golden Hair Roar kept shrinking until it was forcefully sucked into the Swirl Pool of Yin Yang. Yet, there was still a minor accident. The bones of its entire body let out a big boom like some sort of self-exploding skill, disrupting the energy of the swirl pool, causing the ten thousand feet dimension to cease to exist anymore.
It was at this intense nail-biting instance when Shen Lian went to the well to carry the child away and escaped from the dimension, without any care of the well.
Chang Shengzi, Ah Lian and Jiu Yue who were battling the killing spirits simultaneously felt an intense presence of aura which they could not interpret. At this moment, a water-like bright ray, Qing Guang emerged in front of the trio. Ah Lian felt at ease, so she telepathically said, “Let’s go now.”
She and Jia Yue went into the bright ray without reservation. Chang Shengzi was slightly hesitant when he stepped in. Finally, the nerve wrecking aura finally got to his back, and he felt like the flesh of his body was about to be torn apart. He quickly formed a flower of Qi and put it on his back to resist the aftershock.
The Qing Guang dragged the trio to the sky until they saw Shen Lian in the clouds, staring at the ground with a baby in his hands.
All they could see from the earlier ancient village was a large mushroom-shaped cloud rising from it. It remained for a long time as the Qi of heaven and earth gathered like a storm of dragons and tigers, shaking all lives within ten thousand nautical miles.
Even with Shen Lian’s strong divine thoughts, he could not look into the contents of that mushroom-shaped cloud, so he was unable to capture the remnants of Golden Hair Roar’s soul.
Shen Lian knew that even if Golden Hair Roar was weakened, it still had its foundation of the Taiyi state in it. It would be able to escape as a soul remnant in such circumstances. It could even use this explosion to escape from the barrier set by Bodhisattva and take away what was left in the well too.
To a certain degree, he was the benefactor of Golden Hair Roar, though he would never admit so.
Fortunately, Golden Hair Roar had to pay an almost unbearable price for this, and he would run away every time he saw Shen Lian around.
Shen Lian never felt much regret. As someone reached the state of Taiyi, they could not be killed unless their real spirit was located and destroyed completely. However, it was a shame that he was not able to get any secret information about The Order of Jie from it.
Even though the real spirit of Golden Hair Roar was not in the universe, it was very likely to be in the Investiture of the Gods. Shen Lian would have to locate this Investiture first, which was something he could not do.
Chang Shengzi was extremely petrified. He could care less about his own injury because if this explosion was to happen anywhere near Chaoge or Diqiu, it would pose a serious threat to the authority of Yinshang and Great Xia.
Those of the Taiyi state and Tianxian state could definitely survive this explosion, but the others who were below the ranks of earthly immortals would not be able to do the same. Even if they survived, they would suffer some incurable injuries, not to mention other mortal lives with zero chance of escaping this.
Such technique with this large magnitude of prowess could potentially destruct the world. Evidently, this explosion was closely connected to Shen Lian. If it was released by Shen Lian, Yinshang and Great Xia would not have any scrap left.
However, Shen Lian did not act that nobly as well. He looked at Chang Shengzi and said, “Unless there is another one in the state of Tianxian, with the resolution to sacrifice with me, or else it would be closely impossible for this to happen again.
It would be all by chance for this much damage to be incurred. Firstly, one would need to measure the dimension which Bodhisattva was trapping the person in, and then bring in a Tianxian level character, trap them in the Swirl Pool of Yin Tang to self-explode, then only they could have cause damage of this magnitude.
Shen Lian even got certain enlightenment from this incident. In his past life, on the earth where he stayed, there was an even more horrible and powerful earth destructing weapon which was entirely man-made by mortal humans, easily accessible to anyone. Now that was truly daunting.
Maybe he could meet a similar scholar civilization which could invent such earth destructing weapon or even some instrument that surpassed it. If they had any more mind binding tricks, they might pose quite a big problem for him.
