The first thing the Bifang Grand Sage said upon her appearance made everyone fall silent.
The Tuo Kong Grand Sage, who was currently being suppressed by Wang Lin and in the form of a ray of golden light, trembled even more violently. He sought to break out from the Wangchuan River. In that instant, even Wang Lin seemed unable to control him.
The Bifang Grand Sage looked at the ray of golden light and lowered her head slightly. Then, she said softly, “Tuo Kong, you need to think carefully about what the Golden-Feathered Great Roc Tribe is going to do next.”
Two different light projections shone from her eyes.
The first ball of light projection originated from her own personal experience. Inside, one could see a blurry, but still visible, outline in front of the Bifang Grand Sage.
While one could not see the shape clearly, the terrifying power that it exuded proved that it was the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. Then, everyone watched as the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage opened her palm and in it, a ball of bright, golden light shone.
Inside the ball of golden light was a world made up of light. One could see the presence of numerous runes.
When he saw the rune, the Tuo Kong Grand Sage, who was at the bottom of the Wangchuan River, stopped struggling. He seemed paralyzed with shock. Through the Wangchuan River, Wang Lin knew that he was wracked with disbelief and extreme despair.
Wang Lin looked at the ball of golden light and he suddenly understood what it was. “That’s the Golden Roc Grand Sage’s Divine Original True Spirit Pattern.”
The Bifang Grand Sage in the projection obviously recognized the object for it was. She too was shocked speechless. When she recovered, her gaze flashed non-stop as she fell silent for a long while.
The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage in the projection did not seem anxious. Instead, she flicked her finger and a ball of light floated before the Bifang Grand Sage. The light then expanded and revealed itself to be yet another projection.
The projection was similar to what her other eye projected. The projection from her other eye was something that the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was trying to show.
In the projection, one could see thick fogs that blotted out the very sun. In the thick fog, a golden light flashed non-stop.
However, the golden light seemed impossible of breaking free from the fog.
Wang Lin narrowed his eyes. The golden light in the projection was evidently much stronger than the Tuo Kong Gran Sage. Regardless whether it was in terms of speed or power, it was much higher than the Tuo Kong Grand Sage.
This speed was way beyond the reaction time of most people. It seemed capable of distorting the boundaries between space and time.
A thought flashed through one’s mind in an instant. Yet, this speed was even faster than a thought.
When one’s speed reached a certain level, even if he had weaknesses, and possible counter-measures, he was still a formidable foe. This was because one’s opponent could not easily discover his weakness and counter-attack.
Everything happened in less than an instant. The weakness that was briefly revealed moments ago disappeared in the next instance. It could have turned into something else. However, the moment one sought to take advantage of this weakness, it was gone almost immediately.
Cultivators with powerful supernatural awareness like Wang Lin could sense the presence of these weaknesses and counter-attack accordingly. However, if one did not do anything upon discovering it, all one could do was to watch the opportunity disappear.
At this moment, the ray of golden light was like such. Naturally, that was the Golden Roc Grand Sage.
Those that could match his speed while being in the same cultivation level as him, or lower, could be counted with one hand. The speed he exhibited now was even faster than when he faced off Yan Nanlai and Lin Feng in the black hole.
This type of speed could even challenge a Vipralopa Stage enemy. Some Vipralopa Stage cultivators, or those whose powers had reached the Vipralopa Stage, would find it difficult to capture the Golden Roc Grand Sage.
Hence, one could imagine how powerful and fast this demon would have been had he completed his Cardinal Tribulations.
Yet, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was prepared.
The fog was the manifestation of her powers. After it expanded, it trapped the Golden Roc Grand Sage and prevented him from escaping.
Through careful observation, Wang Lin noticed that the demonic fog was different from the sealed space that the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage used to trap the Tuo Kong Grand Sage. The Rotary Turtle Grand Sage’s sealed space was similar to a wall in space, which limited the Tuo Kong Grand Sage’s movement to a certain area. At the same time, it prevented him from escaping from this dimension into the Void Battleground or void space in the Greater World.
However, the demonic fog that was shown right now was everywhere. No matter where the Golden Roc Grand Sage went, the fog was able to clamp down on him.
From the perspective of Wang Lin and the rest, the ray of golden light that the Golden Roc Grand Sage turned into was still awe-inspiring and impossible to catch onto. His speed appeared unrivaled.
In reality, however, every single step he took in the demonic fog was wracked with difficulties. In the eyes of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, he was not moving about at an extreme speed but instead, his movements were sluggish.
Wang Lin stared at the odd demonic fog and understood that this was only the tip of the iceberg of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage’s powers.
His heart missed a beat slightly. From the corner of his eyes, he looked at Ning Wan’ge. He noticed that she was staring blankly at the ball of fog. One could easily tell that she was confused.
Near the edges of the golden light, one could see a faint tinge of purple. The light turned golden-purple.
Afterwards, the purple in the light turned stronger and stronger and at last, the entire ray of light was completely purple. It was unbelievably eye-catching, and one could not help but feel fear upon seeing it. The moment everyone saw the light, they could feel their hearts turning heavier.
However, the demonic fog that surrounded him did not dissipate. Instead, one could see many smaller rays of light moving through the fog as if they were part of a giant net.
The net shone with a blurry light, trapping the purple light and making it unable to escape or struggle. It was akin to a bug caught in a spider’s web.
Suddenly, a layer of purple light appeared on the net made up of light. It was not eye-catching but instead, faint. Yet, it seemed to come from the same source as the purple light from the Golden Roc Grand Sage.
The light flashed and disappeared. However, the light on the Golden Roc Grand Sage’s body started to shine brightly.
In the center of the purple light, one could see a golden light flashing. Thousands of rays of the golden light shot out, like a golden tempest.
On top of this tempest of light, one could see a layer of purple light that was spreading out in all four directions.
The net of light in the demonic fog started to break apart as they were ripped by the golden tempest. They were no longer capable of taking a corporeal form and could only fade away.
Looking at this scene, the Zhujian Grand Sage, the Feiyi Grand Sage, and the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage did not despair, but instead looked at each other and started laughing. All of them were joyous beyond words.
However, the Bifang Grand Sage was silent. The Tuo Kong Grand Sage, who was still being suppressed under the Wangchuan River, started to tremble violently. One could easily sense his hopelessness and despair.
In the light projection, all of the demonic fog faded away and two figures appeared, one big and one small.
The bigger figure was like a mountain. Standing in between the heaven and earth, every single one of his feathers shone brightly. On his forehead, one could see a clump of three, black feathers. His two eyes were jet-black and in his pupils, one could see an odd, demonic golden light. That was the Golden Roc Grand Sage.
The smaller figure appeared no bigger than an ordinary human. Compared to him, it was small beyond belief.
The figure was blurry and one could only see an outline. This was the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage.
Unlike before, she now possessed a shattered bunch of clouds above her head. Right now, the clouds were in the midst of re-forming themselves. The fog that was fading around her was reforming and concentrating above her head, turning into a black cloud.
The Golden Roc Grand Sage’s body showed no sign of injuries. He still gave off a heavy, steady aura and his gaze was still sharp. In the depths of his gaze, however, one could see regret.
“You have won, Heavenly Charms,” said the Golden Roc Grand Sage quietly.
In the next instant, his body suddenly flashed with even more golden light as his entire form turned into a huge ball of light shadow. Then, the light shadow slowly shattered and scattered into the nearby void.
The Golden Roc Grand Sage’s entire form appeared to have turned into a huge sculpture of sand. As the wind blew, it gradually faded away, faster and faster.
His surroundings turned once more into a tempest of light.
The Golden Roc Grand Sage’s gaze was calm, and it was still as cruel and sharp as ever. There was no anger but only regret.
While he and other Golden Feathered Great Rocs were famous in the Barren Expanses, they were not the most powerful tribe. Sometimes, they were even mocked by other demons because of his ancestor’s, the Great Enlightened Roc King, submission to the Buddha.
Now, in the Golden Roc Grand Sage’s generation, they were able to achieve a renaissance thanks to his planning and efforts. Other than the Phoenix Tribe and the Kun Peng, which was protected by the Phoenix, every other bird-type demon joined his legions and within the Golden-Feathered Great Roc Tribe itself, many powerful demons emerged.
He was eventually able to make the Hades’ Dark Mantra re-appear in the world.
The bone of the Hades was something that even other Vipralopa Stage demons feared, which prevented them from attacking him.
He also obtained a portion of the Golden Cicada’s flesh, allowing him and his subordinates to become stronger.
Through many years of hard work, the Golden Roc Grand Sage was able to achieve his current status and power. Now, all of this was turning into dust.
The main force of the Great Void Sect and the Supreme Heavenly Mirror left the Divine Lands to enter the Black Sea. Lin Feng himself descended onto the Lingyuan Mountains to confront the apes. The Divine Lands was unguarded and he took this chance to open the black hole above the Great Thunderclap Temple to obtain the pure essence of the Hades Emperor. This was supposed to further strengthen him.
However, he did not expect Lin Feng to return so quickly to the Divine Lands. If not for Lin Feng’s special methods, which neutralized the bone, and if not for the Buddha’s ceremony, which depleted much of the pure essence there, the Golden Roc Grand Sage’s powers would have improved by leaps and bounds.
However, it was all but a hypothetical situation.
One wrong step and then, many more wrong steps, caused a chain reaction to happen. This was eventually beyond everyone’s predictions.
In the War of the Two Worlds, the most powerful cultivators gathered and everyone devoted their attention to everyone else. The moment anyone revealed weakness, he would invite destruction.
Not long after it commenced, a major power withdrew from this war. The Golden Roc Grand Sage and his troops soon fell completely apart.
