Chapter 115: Good Boy
Despite pulling with all his might, all Xu Guanwen managed to do was to cause a few small pebbles to skip merrily across the boundless earth. At the same time, dark shadows rippled across the full moon in the sky, and a flash of light flickered across the dead branch sitting next to the jade hill.
For obvious reasons, Xu Guanwen was deeply astonished to find that he had failed to lift Wei Yuan’s Dao Foundation. He immediately mustered his full strength and pulled again!
There was a series of loud cracks, and… all four of his talons snapped in half. As it turned out, he had accidentally overexerted his bird foot Avatar. A cry of pain escaped his lips as blood drained away from his face in an instant.
Suddenly, a beam of light flashed through the sky. It was impossibly fast.
Xu Guanwen’s scream suddenly turned into a full-throated howl as a gigantic, diagonal wound stretched across his bird foot Avatar. The beam of light had sliced his Avatar in two!
An Immortal Lord’s divine thought was beyond even the ability of a veteran Avatar to endure, not to mention that Xu Guanwen wasn’t guarded in the slightest. It was no superficial injury either. He was literally teetering on the brink of death and could pass onto the afterlife at any moment. Forcing down the tearing pain of his primordial spirit temporarily, he wobbly flew into the sky and tried to escape.
It was at this moment his surroundings changed. Qingming had acknowledged a master and become one with the Great Realm. Before, Wei Yuan could only manifest about a hundred zhang of his Dao Foundation. But now, that range had expanded to a thousand li.
With a thought, Wei Yuan manifested a thousand zhang of the Great Realm and applied all of its mighty, worldly force onto Xu Guanwen. He was able to slow down the man’s ascent to a crawl.
Under normal circumstances, one thousand zhang of worldly power was far from enough from being able to shackle an Avatar. However, Qingming was an immortal object, and the Great Realm was a peerless Dao Foundation. One plus one turned out to be greater than two, which was why Xu Guanwen slowed down to the point where it looked like he was trying to swim out of a quicksand.
