Zhou Heng completed this series of multiple Fortune Bag activities, which took a considerable amount of time, a full dozen seconds or so.
By this time, the projection of Yan Shouyi had already been outlined and condensed into shape.
When he was previously in Wujiang Prefecture City, he chose to use the Five Colors Divine Light instead of a projection card because the more powerful the character to be projected, the longer it would take.
Projecting a Celestial Man like Yan Shouyi would take about fifteen seconds.
Such a lengthy duration would be enough for Yu Long to kill him countless times.
“However, this time, I’ll make sure you won’t return!” Zhou Heng’s palm once again shimmered with Five Colors Divine Light, as he prepared to have Yan Shouyi’s projection teleport him to Wujiang Prefecture City.
To a Celestial Man, tens of thousands of miles were but an instant away. Wujiang Prefecture City was only a little more than two thousand miles from Huangtong Mansion City and was barely worth mentioning.
Yet just as Zhou Heng was about to leave, he suddenly heard thunderous booms overhead, as if bolts of thunder were continuously exploding.
The elemental chaos had completely devolved into a rampage, causing him to feel his blood churn with merely a slight perception of it, indicating that the two individuals battling possessed extremely high levels of strength.
They were certainly no ordinary martial artists!
Furthermore, Zhou Heng could feel the ground beneath his feet quivering in regular patterns, as if a heart was reviving, as though a terrifying beast was about to rise from below the earth.
An unbounded wave of slaughter, death, and darkness was about to envelop everything!
“What’s going on?” Zhou Heng’s brow furrowed slightly, and he decided to postpone his trip to Wujiang Prefecture City. Instead, he first let Yan Shouyi’s projection teleport him to the home of the Wu Family.
Before, with the Divine Sense Perception of Yan Shouyi’s projection, he confirmed that Wu Zongshan was anxiously looking up at the sky, and Pei Luoling and Pei Luoshu were also at the Wu residence, with equally worried expressions on their faces.
As Yan Shouyi’s projection was currently invisible, Zhou Heng’s sudden appearance in the Wu family’s courtyard frightened Wu Zongshan and the Pei siblings, nearly provoking combat.
It was only after recognising that it was Zhou Heng that they refrained from actually fighting.
“What’s happening, Zhou Heng, why are you here? And how, how did you just appear out of thin air?” Pei Luoshu stared at Zhou Heng in utter amazement, asking in shock.
What just happened was instantaneous teleportation, appearing out of nowhere, something even a peak Fourth Rank martial artist couldn’t accomplish. It was said to be due to the stable rules of this world and the solidity of space, thus only those at the level of a Celestial Man could teleport long distances.
But Zhou Heng was clearly not a Celestial Man, so how did he do it?
“There’s no time to explain that.” Zhou Heng shook his head, looked toward Wu Zongshan, and asked, “Respected Prefectural Governor, who is battling in the sky and what is reviving beneath the earth?”
Since Yan Shouyi’s projection could only last for five minutes, he had to be as concise as possible, hoping to finish his questioning in half a minute to ensure he had enough time to deal with Yu Long.
“It’s Prefectural Governor Pei Hongdao and a… a Loose Immortal of the evil path!” Wu Zongshan glanced at the sky, saying, “This Loose Immortal was chanting incantations outside Huangtong Mansion City, seemingly calling upon something sealed beneath the city.
“Governor Pei sensed that something was amiss and went out to stop the Loose Immortal and then they began to fight. Up until now, they have been evenly matched.”
Evil Loose Immortal?
Zhou Heng detected the unfinished implications in Wuzong Mountain’s words and sensed that the pitch-black radiance intertwined with Pei Hongdao above contained a dense force of malevolence.
This was not some evil Loose Immortal; it was clearly a Ghost Immortal!
Moreover, to fight Pei Hongdao, who was ranked seventh on the prestigious list of great Grandmasters, on equal footing, it must be a Ghost Immortal who had passed through the fire calamity and reached a level close to that of a Loose Immortal.
No ordinary Ghost Immortal could compare.
“What is sealed beneath Huangtong Mansion City?” Zhou Heng frowned and asked; he had never known that something was sealed under Huangtong Mansion City.
“I don’t know. Even the records of the Imperial Court don’t mention anything related to this, but from the phantom shape that is now manifesting…” Wuzong Mountain pointed towards the sky outside and said, “Perhaps it is a segment, no, half a finger?”
Just half a finger?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng’s expression turned solemn and he looked towards the finger’s phantom in the sky with astonishment, feeling dizzy and almost as if that half a finger was going to collapse the space itself!
Immediately afterward, he suddenly saw black clouds forming layer upon layer above the phantom of the half finger in the firmament, pressing down towards Huangtong Mansion City. The negative aura that had already been spreading suddenly intensified by more than tenfold!
The malevolent energy surged!
The void echoed with wailing!
Zhou Heng’s keen spiritual perception told him that the space here was on the verge of collapse, the laws of the Great Path here were being eroded, as if a door to an unknown world of terror was about to be opened.
And this eroding power seemed to have the same origin as the negative aura on that half finger.
Did this mean that if that finger truly broke free from the Seal, the “gateway” might indeed open, and Huangtong Mansion City, at the epicenter of this dramatic change, would instantly turn into a city of death?
The only solution was to suppress that half finger immediately, ensuring it could not break free from the Seal. Only then could they save Huangtong Mansion City entirely.
But now, the only person capable of suppressing it—
Seemed to be the projection of Yan Shouyi.
Therefore, two choices now lay before Zhou Heng.
He could either take Yan Shouyi’s projection to Wujiang Prefecture City to kill Yu Long or have Yan Shouyi’s projection stay in Huangtong Mansion City to exert all efforts to suppress that half of the finger.
“Damn it!” Zhou Heng clenched his teeth, about to make a firm decision when suddenly he perceived something stir—a familiar and dangerous aura coming from outside Huangtong Mansion City.
“Yu Long!!”
Zhou Heng bellowed in rage, then raised his right hand and made a grabbing motion in the air, using a special skill card: Five-Colored Divine Light[Copper].
The Five-Colored Divine Light immediately converged!
Booming loudly!
As if the peal of thousands of thunders resounded together, at the moment when the Five-Colored Divine Light evolved the true meaning of the Five Elements Path, the harmony of heaven and earth stirred, the winds and clouds over mountains and rivers changed color, and everything in the world came to a halt!
Red, White, Azure, Black, Yellow!!
This ray of Five-Colored Divine Light spanned the universe, heading straight for Yu Long, the Loose Immortal, who had just arrived outside Huangtong Mansion City, laughing triumphantly as he stroked his palms—to strike him down!
At the same time, the projection of Yan Shouyi stepped through the void, instantly arriving before Yu Long.
The Celestial Man projection slightly swayed, and suddenly a vast Pure Yang golden light bloomed, dispersing the malevolent shades for thousands of miles. His figure expanded countless times over and transformed into a huge Sun of Pure Yang looming in the sky!
Crashing down on Loose Immortal Yu Long!
The Five-Colored Divine Light reached first, instantly engulfing Loose Immortal Yu Long. The shine that symbolizes the true intent of the Five Elements Path gleamed intermittently, nearly occupying half the sky, complementing the Sun that Yan Shouyi’s projection had become.
The terrorizing power of the Five Elements bore down on Loose Immortal Yu Long, who was caught in its swipe, instantly grinding anything related to the Five Elements on him into pure elemental energy.
But in the next moment, Loose Immortal Yu Long shook and transformed into a Green Jade Dragon, smashing through the Five-Colored Divine Light and breaking free, then reverted to human form.
“Hahaha! Did you think I didn’t know you possessed the Five Elements True Intent Divine Light? Yet I dared to come and slay you—not because I arrogantly believed you couldn’t use that light, but because my dwelling is simply not of the Five Elements,” Yu Long the Loose Immortal laughed heartily. His mana might have been damaged, but he remained largely unharmed, “You can destroy everything of the Five Elements on me, yet alone you cannot destroy me!”
“Then what about the might of that Celestial Man?” Zhou Heng gritted his teeth and said.
The strength of Loose Immortal Yu Long far exceeded his expectations; it was almost inconceivable that not even the Five-Colored Divine Light could handle him.
At that moment, the Sun of Pure Yang that Yan Shouyi’s projection had become was already crashing down.
This was a real sun, capable of incinerating stars and obliterating the void if placed in space, its power incredibly vast and boundless!
Yet Loose Immortal Yu Long, unperturbed, revealed a smirk on his face, took out an object with a flip of his palm, and laughed, “I could counter your Five Elements True Intent Divine Light, how could I not be prepared for your Celestial Man projection?”
