Chapter 567: Great Savior An Lin

Celestial Maiden He continued to retreat, and the lotus in her hands released a pink water vapor that formed into a path in the void.

The Heavenly Void Beast’s head was completely enveloped within the pink water vapor. Its colossal body wriggled about, and it appeared as though it was really going to follow after the trail of pink water vapor.

In the next instant, however, the Heavenly Void Beast opened its humongous mouth. A boundless and profound darkness formed into a gigantic swirl that looked as though it could swallow all matter. This gigantic swirl continuously tugged at the four fleeing figures.

The void started to distort as airstreams generated by the gigantic swirl swarmed about violently. All the surrounding matter started funneling into the Heavenly Void Beast’s mouth.

The four cultivators seemed prepared for this, and one of the monks tapped his Buddhist staff toward the void. Four golden bells that possessed the power of Mahesvara radiated with brilliant divine might as they enveloped Celestial Maiden He and the Night Patrol God as well as the two monks. These bells acted as protective barriers that kept out the suction power of the gigantic swirl.

In this instant, Xiao Ze’s expression changed drastically. “Hang on, this isn’t merely the Heavenly Void Vortex ability! There’s also the Realm Displacement ability! Be careful guys!”

He stamped his feet, and a black dragon projection enveloped An Lin and the others.

The next instant, the galaxies reversed, heaven and earth collapsed, and the void warped.

All living beings within a radius of one hundred and fifty kilometers were enveloped by a mysterious spatial ability. Then, they all vanished.

Before he could even react, An Lin had arrived in a murky grey continent. Immediately afterward, an overwhelming spatial compression crushed down upon him. Fortunately, the black dragon projection enveloped around him blocked out this pressure. Otherwise, his body would’ve been flattened instantly.

His eyes darted toward where Celestial Maiden He and her group was. He found that their golden bells had already fractured, and the monk who had cast these golden bells had already gone pale under the crippling effects of the crushing compressive pressure. It was clear that he couldn’t hold on for much longer.

Celestial Maiden He and the others cast several defensive spell techniques in succession, yet this was to no avail. Faced with the devastating effects of the boundless spatial compression, they would succumb sooner rather than later.

“Little Xiao, what should we do?” An Lin asked in a panic.

Xiao Ze glanced around the grey land. Some mutant beasts that had been mysteriously sucked into this realm had already been crushed into pulp. Their life essence started to flow into the void.

His brows knitted into a frown as he said, “We’ve already been sucked into the Heavenly Void Beast’s body. This space is one hundred and fifty kilometers in radius, and the edges of this space are vast expanses of empty areas. No matter where we run, we won’t be able to reach an end. All we can do is to wait for the Heavenly Void Beast to use its Heavenly Void Vortex again. At that time, we can use the spatial passageway that it creates to escape this place.”

An Lin’s face turned pale, and his body swayed slightly. “There’s no other way?”

Who the hell would know when this Heavenly Void Beast would use its Heavenly Void Vortex ability for a second time?! Under the crushing effects of the spatial compression, they were going to be flattened into meat pulp in no time!

Xiao Ze shook his head. “There might be other methods, but this is the only one that I know of.”

Boom!

The space suddenly tremored. Immediately afterward, a jet-black whale with golden eyes started to materialize before them.

Its body was only dozens of feet in length, yet its aura was petrifying. It appeared as though its body was formed from the darkest and most chaotic of matter. The sight of it caused one to tremble with fear.

“Huh… This is the Heavenly Void Spirit? Who would’ve thought that this would exist within the Heavenly Void Beast’s body!” Xiao Ze’s eyes lit up, and a rare hint of excitement spread across his face.

“Heavenly Void Spirit?” An Lin repeated curiously. “What’s that?”

“It’s a type of chaotic essence that is born within the bodies of Heavenly Void Beasts. You can view it as the Heavenly Void Beast’s alternative body of energy. Such chaotic essence can only be born after the Heavenly Void Beast swallows and digests the energy of enough high-caliber lifeforms. The divine weapon wielded by the Xiao Tribe’s ancient ancestor was forged from Heavenly Void Spirits. It was insanely powerful and terrorizing…”

The jet-black whale was currently glowering at Celestial Maiden He and her group. It was evidently furious about their sudden attacks just then.

Whoosh!

Its tail suddenly swayed, and its body became a streak of black afterimages. It instantly crashed into a nearby monk. Looking closely, that monk was the one who had stabbed its eye with his Buddhist staff!

The monk’s expression changed drastically, and he only had time to release a thick coil of golden vine from his Buddhist staff.

However, the destructive power possessed by the black figure instantly pulverized the golden vine. Then, the figure smashed into the monk’s body.

Boom!

The tremendous force of the impact caused the monk’s body to distort unnaturally, and countless bloody veins appeared on his skin. It looked as if his body had been shredded by innumerable sabers, and clouds of blood exploded from his wounded body.

“Chang Zang!” The other monk swatted at the whale ferociously, and a gigantic golden palm surged over with a boundless Buddhist might. Everything in its path was annihilated into nothingness.

To the monk’s surprise, the whale was as nimble as ghosts. It instantly dashed out a thousand meters and dodged his attack.

Meanwhile, the lotus in Celestial Maiden He’s hands shone brilliantly. A white lotus enveloped the injured Chang Zang within it and started healing his severe wounds.

With just a single strike, the Heavenly Void Spirit was able to critically wound Chang Zang, who was of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage. Seeing this, grave expressions appeared on the faces of Celestial Maiden He and the others.

“Celestial Maiden He, Chang He, this whale is far too powerful. It’s impossible for us to defeat it. Let’s use a combined defensive spell formation to hold off its attacks first. We’ll wait until the next time that the Heavenly Void Beast opens up a spatial passageway before making our escape.”

The three of them stood in different positions, and a large, semi-transparent golden Buddha slowly enveloped them. The golden Buddha was sitting on a holy white lotus, and its body was surrounded by several coils of black chain. The power of destructive containment froze the surrounding air into an impregnable barrier.

After seeing the three cultivators’ combined-defensive-spell formation, an even more terrifying aura was unleashed from the whale’s jet-black body. This destructive aura transformed into countless black wisps as the whale swooped toward the spell formation viciously.

Boom!

The collision between the whale and the defensive spell formation resulted in a monstrous explosion of energy that caused hundreds of square kilometers of land to fracture and cave in. The spell formation quaked violently, and the blood of the three cultivators churned uncontrollably.

The whale started distancing itself from the spell formation. Then, it turned back around and transformed into a black streak as it crashed toward the spell formation once again.

Boom!

The spell formation started quaking violently again. Blood seeped from the corner of Celestial Maiden He’s mouth.

The three cultivators all wore grave expressions. They knew that they were likely going to die here.

The whale wasn’t going to stop ramming into the spell formation. If the Heavenly Void Beast didn’t use its Heavenly Void Vortex ability anytime soon, then it would only be a matter of time before they died.

After the third collision, Monk Chang He’s body started swaying slightly. He was also starting to show signs of collapsing.

Meanwhile, the jet-black whale was still full of vigor, and a look of greed flashed across its golden eyes. As it retreated, its aura started climbing once again. Soon after, it became a black streak and aggressively crashed into the spell formation again.

Right at this instant, an overwhelming blood blade pierced through the air and viciously stabbed toward the whale!

Moving in a strange yet elusive manner, the whale drew out a curved path in the air and dodged this sudden attack.

Who is it?!

Celestial Maiden He, Night Patrol God, and Chang He’s faces lit up in delight. They never imagined that an ally would come to their rescue at this moment. Flames of hope flickered to life in their despairing hearts.

However, their expressions froze when they saw where the attack had come from.

“B-Blood Tribe?” A deathly chill gripped at Chang He’s heart when he saw the three golden-haired and crimson-eyed Return to Void Stage cultivators.

Celestial Maiden He and the Night Patrol God were stunned into silence. They didn’t expect that the attack from earlier had come from members of the Blood Tribe. Were these Blood Tribe cultivators here to kick them while they were down?

Then, Celestial Maiden He’s gaze focused on a handsome youth. Her eyes widened in shock. “Night Patrol God, look over there! That person looks so familiar!”

“If I’m not hallucinating, that’s An Lin…” The corners of the Night Patrol God’s mouth twitched. He clearly found it absurd that a cultivator of the Soul Formation Stage had come here. More importantly, that cultivator had brought a group of Blood Tribe cultivators along with him! The sight of that was even more bizarre…

“Celestial Maiden He, Night Patrol God, they’re all my people! There’s no need to worry! I’ve come to rescue you guys!” An Lin waved toward the two cultivators in the distance.

Celestial Maiden He and the Night Patrol God were both slightly dazed. An indescribable feeling churned in their hearts. They were stupefied, all kinds of stupefied…

Was the army in front of them really here to rescue them? That was three supreme beings of the Blood Tribe!

However, An Lin’s positioning amid them appeared as though he was being protected rather than being held as a hostage. It looked as though he was the leader of the group.

So… An Lin was here to rescue them? Their savior was An Lin?
