At this moment, heaven and earth trembled!
Below the ninth layer of the Celestial Court, the ground cracked, rivers flowed backward. A clearly visible and extremely treacherous human face appeared above the dome of the sky.
Only because it had no five senses.
Looking at it, it was just a sheet of skin. However, boundless divine sense roared within it, turning into a voice that only perfected lord could hear, echoing out—
"Return."
Rumble!
The voice spread inside and outside the Celestial Court, affecting the eighth layer almost immediately.
In an instant, towering figures connecting heaven and earth emerged.
They were the only four surviving mid-stage Immortal Lords of the Celestial Court. The leader, Immortal Lord Duxuan, had visible fear on his face: "Is this... Sisui reviving? How is that possible! The Immortal Venerable sits in Sisui's spiritual platform, suppressing the Dao Lord's divine will. How could Sisui be allowed to revive?"
In the next second, blood light appeared suddenly.
Immortal Lord Mingtang, responsible for suppressing the [Spirit Mechanism Hall], was the first to explode. The entire Spirit Mechanism Hall quickly became illusory, merging into the Celestial Court—merging into that human face.
"Not good!"
Seeing this, Immortal Lord Duxuan looked even more horrified. Almost simultaneously, the first organ finally appeared on the face overlooking heaven and earth—a nose.
Whoosh!
Having a nose, the face seemed to finally gain the power to interfere with the Celestial Court. Then he did only one thing—took a deep breath.
Instantly, throughout the entire Celestial Court, everywhere from the lowest first layer to the eighth layer, all spiritual qi, mineral veins, spiritual treasures, medicinal pills... everything based on spiritual qi was shattering madly, turning into a boundless tide surging towards the direction of the human face!
He is reclaiming the spiritual qi of the Celestial Court!
The nose is the portal of qi, hence the name [Spirit Mechanism Hall]. Therefore, the spiritual qi maintained inside and outside the Celestial Court for countless years was itself the product of Sisui's breathing.
It's just that before, Sisui only exhaled without inhaling.
But now, he recovered a bit of vitality and began to inhale, reclaiming the spiritual qi once spread to the entire Celestial Court to fill his own deficit!
At this moment, wailing shook the Celestial Court!
At the same time, Lu Yang, witnessing this scene, was equally shocked.
How big is the Celestial Court?
In terms of volume, it far exceeded the Seven Luminaries Heaven and Myriad Martial World Realm he had been to, almost the same as the Immortal Nexus. Yet now it was trembling under Sisui's will!
This isn't even a living Dao Lord!
The half-dead Sisui, with just one breath, almost exterminated the Celestial Court.
Only Foundation Establishment and Golden Core could barely survive.
Spiritual qi extinction, cultivation vanished!
Cultivators below Foundation Establishment couldn't even keep their cultivation base, watching helplessly as their painstakingly refined spiritual power constantly drained away, turning into nothingness in an instant!
As for mortals, they couldn't even keep their lives, aging and decaying on the spot. All vitality was completely sucked by the human face manifested by Sisui.
However, just then.
"Impudent!"
On the ninth layer of the Celestial Court, that high-hanging bright moon finally reacted. A towering cold and beautiful figure manifested in the bright moonlight.
She was on the ninth layer, three thousand strands of black hair fluttering, like a fairy descending to the mortal world— inviolable.
More importantly, at this moment, she was even above the human face manifested by Sisui. While scolding, a beam of moonlight shone down.
Under the moonlight, large patches of soil appeared on the human face. The originally illusory face gradually revealed real flesh and blood under the cover of this soil, then shattered inch by inch—withering. What met the eye was surprisingly a massive graveyard with no end in sight.
[Taiyin Damp Earth]!
The Supreme Taiyin Dao Fruit, separating Yin and Yang, burying all things, even containing a bit of Netherworld concept within, instantly suppressing Sisui's movements.
But soon, Sisui moved again.
"Want to bury me alive?"
Huge divine sense howled between heaven and earth, carrying intense resentment and anger. Immediately, the face turned over, facing directly at that cold and beautiful figure on the ninth layer.
"Using my things to bury me alive?"
"Beast occupying the magpie's nest!"
In the next second, another Middle Stage Immortal Lord exploded, blood light splashing. It was exactly Immortal Lord Yanxiu suppressing the [Dharma Teaching Land]. Obviously, he couldn't suppress it either.
[Dharma Teaching Land] merged into heaven and earth.
Immediately following, a mouth also appeared on Sisui's face. With red lips and white teeth, as it opened and closed, a loud Dao voice roared and echoed inside and outside the Celestial Court:
"Get lost!"
As his voice fell, an indescribable dispelling force was generated, shaking off all the large patches of soil covering the human face. Along with it, that boundless graveyard was also forced back. Obviously, Sisui was reclaiming his own mighty power step by step!
Seeing this scene, Immortal Venerable Taiyin frowned slightly.
Immediately, she looked at Lu Yang in the Heaven and Earth Immortal Bank, parting her vermilion lips lightly: "Little Junior Brother... you really caused a big trouble for me."
"Senior Sister, i am innocent."
Lu Yang spread his hands, looking pitiful: "This is that Dao Lord plotting against me. Inexplicably, I know nothing."
Immortal Venerable Taiyin frowned slightly upon hearing this and snorted softly.
Know nothing?
Who would believe you!
Ancestor... I thought the Junior Brother you found for me was already very capable, but I didn't expect him to be even more capable than I imagined.
She thought he was just a brat she could manipulate easily.
Unexpectedly, his style was quite tough, and his abilities were great.
The key isn't this human face, but the trigger he achieved through vood attainment...
Immortal Venerable Taiyin knew the records in the [Dao Opening Diagram] well. The dao fruit attained through void attainment using the method in the diagram was essentially just a bait.
A bait used to draw out the true Great Dao!
With that dao fruit attained through void attainment, Sisui could draw out his true Great Dao from the [Sea of Bitterness], and then gradually revive!
And according to her original plan, while achieving void attainment, Lu Yang would also be tainted by her [Money] dao fruit, thereby being controlled by her regarding the attained dao fruit. In this way, she could borrow his hand to replace the attained dao fruit with the [Money] dao fruit, and occupy that Great Dao she had coveted for a long time!
However now, all ruined.
The only fortunate thing was the ninth layer. The Dao Lord Spiritual Platform created by the World Honored One back then was still under her control, so there was still a chance to redeem everything.
Dealing with it in reality is meaningless.
Immortal Venerable Taiyin looked indifferent, her thoughts remaining calm:
To suppress this mutation, the best way is for my true body to go to the [Sea of Bitterness] and stop that void attainment dao fruit from drawing out the Dao Lord's Great Dao.
But if my true body goes, who will sit in charge of the ninth layer?
The ninth layer of the Celestial Court is the most critical layer because it was not transformed from Sisui's corpse, but a seal created by the World Honored One's hand!
Without someone suppressing the seal, Sisui will wake up faster!
Leave it to the other four Middle Stage Immortal Lords?
Immortal Venerable Taiyin thought for a moment and gave up this choice. Under these circumstances, who knows if Immortal Lord Duxuan and others will still stand on her side?
After all, the Dao Lord's thigh is much more appealing than hers.
Therefore, thinking it over, the only reliable manpower was surprisingly only one.
"...Hehe."
In the next second, Immortal Venerable Taiyin suddenly smiled, with a bit of approval in her smile: "It seems you really are my Saint Sect's Junior Brother!"
Yes, she recognized Lu Yang!
Although this life's Lu Yang actually had no relationship with the Saint Sect and only owed a favor to the Saint Sect Ancestor, he wasn't strictly speaking a disciple of the Saint Sect.
The Taiyin Immortal Venerable had previously thought this way too.
But now, she changed her mind.
Fishing in troubled waters, daring to the extreme, shameless... He's someone capable of achieving great things. If not my Saint Sect disciple, then a Sword Seed of the Sword Pavilion. He's capable!
Immediately after, she looked at Lu Yang again:
"Junior Brother... Senior Sister is about to go to the [Sea of Bitterness] to suppress Sisui. You come to the ninth layer to guard it for me. If you're lucky, you might have a great opportunity!"
