Chapter 1144 - 574: Key of the Gate (3)
"Boom!"
Then a loud blast came from the edge of the sky. Chen Xuantian rolled his eyes, glanced sidelong, and could see a vast stretch of radiation clouds blooming at the horizon, lingering along the mountainside like auroras, colorful and gorgeous to look at.
Right after that, countless streaks of light came swooping in like a meteor shower, falling toward him like a rain of stars from the Milky Way. At the same time a wave of Yellow Qi surged, rolling up a sky-covering yellow wind, like a robe wrapping around Chen Xuantian, blocking the starry rain falling on the Cloud Platform.
For a moment it was crackle and bang everywhere, Divine Light exploding in chaos, auroras flashing on all sides, thunder crashing down like mad, filling the sky with countless blooming Plasma fireworks. It was just like New Year’s Eve with glorious golden fireworks pouring down everywhere, ridiculously pretty, making Chen Xuantian grin wide and giggle like an idiot.
"Fuck fuck fuck, still not running!"
With an angry roar from the skyline, Triangular Eyes tunneled over, and with a sudden whoosh rolled up, gathering all the Yellow Qi on his body into a giant hand. Like a Flying Eagle diving for prey, he snatched up the Chen Xuantian who’d fallen into full-on dumbass mode, together with a handful of marsh mud, clenched him in his fist and fled into the sky!
"Whoo whoo whoo"
"Swish swish swish"
"Crash crash crash"
Hot on their heels, the giant fists and palms formed from purple, white, gold, blue, and red, colorful Daoist energy, also swooped in like a sky full of Flying Eagles, lunging straight at them, fighting each other to grab, attacking from all directions at the Yellow Qi giant hand clutching Chen Xuantian.
Yet that Yellow Qi was incomparably thick and solid. Even under the frenzied bombardment and pummeling of the colorful Daoist energy hands, it stayed tightly condensed, refusing to disperse, utterly unafraid of all those hands tearing and besieging it! It just shielded Chen Xuantian while bolting for the horizon!
So those pursuing Hand Seals immediately changed tactics, splitting into two groups: one kept up the relentless pursuit, surround-and-block assault; the other group went "hula-la" and shot out a sky-filling, hundreds-strong barrage of Big Hand Seals!
Once more Array! Once more calamity! For a time the Hand Wind howled with thunder! They directly blasted this sky, this earth, this lake to utter pieces! Stamping huge palm prints and seals everywhere! As if on the canvas of heaven and earth they were madly erasing, smearing, and redrawing, covering and obliterating the entire Qiankun with Hand Seals! In just the blink of an eye they once again sealed heaven and earth, constructing a vast, boundless Great Array of catastrophe, vowing to completely seal and kill that Yellow giant hand and Chen Xuantian, town-suppressing them within!
"This tribulation is over!"
Yet just as this Hand Seal Great Array was about to Sealing Heaven and cover earth, completing the seal, suddenly an angry roar came from afar!
At once countless strands of Divine Sense turned and locked onto it, and saw a Golden Fish Head dwarf suddenly leap out from the clouds, waving in both hands two chunks still attached to braids, with scalp, with brain matter, with bits of flesh clinging on—obviously Heavenly Spirit Covers that had been smashed and ripped straight off someone’s skull, still steaming hot—as he roared with a voice that shook the air,
"Songshan Mountain! Laozi’s taking it!"
Then he wrapped his yellow robe around himself, transformed into a Sword Rainbow, and tore through the sky!
"How dare you!!!"
"Bastard!!!"
"Damn you!!!"
"You beast!!!"
In an instant, thunderous shouts rolled across the sky! Fury filled the wilderness! All the Daoist energy in the heavens went berserk in a heartbeat! Of the five-colored Hand Seals, more than half directly transformed into five-colored thunderous Divine Light! Escape Light Sword Shadow and Thunder Balls jumped wildly all across the sky! The cultivators all charged after that Sword Rainbow to kill it! Half the Sky Dome was scorched into flames by the five-colored Dao Breath fire!
"We’re so screwed! Scatter and run! Every man for himself, kid!!"
So that Yellow Qi Big Hand Seal suddenly threw with all its might, like pitching a softball, hurling the Chen Xuantian who’d been kneaded together with lake mud into a ball, and flinging him hard through a gap in the Great Array’s seal! Then the Hand Wind turned to sword transformation! With a sweep of rainbow light it shredded the surrounding Array to bits and pieces, and bolted for its life!
"Whooo—!"
For a moment heaven and earth spun, and Chen Xuantian could only see a Treasure Ship getting closer and closer. Just as he was about to slam headfirst through the deck, the ball suddenly halted; a hand caught the mud ball and Chen Xuantian steadily, then casually tossed them onto the Treasure Ship’s deck.
Chen Xuantian only had time to catch, out of the corner of his eye, what seemed to be a green robe figure standing at the bow, facing the sword light that was chasing and twisting in from all directions, before his throat surged and he couldn’t help but puke his guts out.
"This child and I are fated. I ask all of you to give me some face."
This—this voice...
Chen Xuantian strained to turn his head, but unfortunately the ball rolled, and his face got pressed straight into his own vomit.
