Chapter 146 - 143: Saint’s Divine Skills are Unfathomably Deep
The tale tells of an arm severed by Hongjun Daozu since ancient times and sealed within Mount Shu. Utilizing the projections of the various heavens, it had nearly escaped—despite the Three Pure Ones’ calculations, they were still a step too late.
Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch had long predicted the existence of the projections of the heavens, and this very arm was the key to drawing him out. Indeed, the assembly at Mount Shu held true to expectations, managing to detain the arm and almost resealing it, which in turn triggered the arrival of the heavenly projections.
Upon the appearance of this projection, it startled the Black Coffin resting within the Dragon Eye of Mount Shu, where a person quickly emerged, reaching the Three Pure Ones in an instant.
"It’s you!" The cold eyes of the heavenly projection shone with an unusual light.
The onlookers, all Daoists, looked up to see this being enveloped in a strange radiance, obscuring their face and making it unclear whether they were human or demon, mortal or immortal—seemingly just chaos and nothingness.
The newcomer did not speak but said, "This projection of yours is just the tonic I need! Recovering with the dragon vein is too slow!"
The Three Pure Ones, upon seeing this person, remained silent; even the Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch sheathed the Four Swords of Celestial Slaying and said indifferently, "Come forth!"
The crowd heard only a thunderous breath, then saw an arm stretch out from the radiance. This arm, withered and frail, looked like that of a hundred-year-old elder, as if all its flesh had been drained!
They watched as this dry arm pressed down fiercely upon the black hole, causing a loud rumble; the earth shook truly from the Thirty-Three Heavens down to the Eighteen Layers of Hell, as countless Law Divine Chains descended like divine dragons or thunder, swiftly mobilizing millions of Heavenly Dao Laws Divine Chains.
The heavenly projection snorted coldly and extended a hand, forming a spell. A minute speck of cold light was released, tiny as a particle of dust, yet the brilliance was striking, causing one’s whole body to tremble!
"Divine Retribution!" A voice cold to the bone sounded, issued by the person who emerged from the coffin. Their hand pressed on the black hole, and the law chains immediately threaded through.
