Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1196 555: Above the Moon

Just as Skull Chen Shi arrived at the Xinxiang Imperial City, he saw countless bloody tentacles flying in the sky, attacking downward; it was the Heavenly Venerate manipulating the Primordial Worm in the underworld, attempting to strangle him.

"Swish—"

Skull Chen Shi moved nimbly, darting up and down, flying through the encirclement of tentacles, then racing swiftly across one of the bloody tentacles. Behind him, there was a squishing sound, as finer tentacles emerged from the larger one, like wormy hairy protrusions, fluttering as they curled towards him.

Skull Chen Shi dodged repeatedly, chanting the Blood Lake Scripture, wielding no blade but executing the sword technique of the Blood Transformation Divine Saber, severing the tentacles that got close.

On that extremely large tentacle, the flesh squirmed, growing humanoid figures out of the flesh, initially without limbs, gradually sprouting them, without facial features, gradually developing them.

The faces of those humanoid figures were exactly like that of the Heavenly Venerate.

They detached from the Primordial Worm, moving swiftly and nimbly, pursuing Chen Shi from all directions.

Skull Chen Shi had already cultivated to the extent of the Immortal Dao Primordial Spirit and Immortal Body, only lacking Harmonization. When he encountered the first Heavenly Venerate, they sped along the tentacle, exchanging two or three moves, and that Heavenly Venerate was shaved off half a head, tumbling down.

Other Heavenly Venerates rushed over like fleas in pursuit.

Skull Chen Shi fought and moved, often only meeting face to face, exchanging one or two moves, and then breaking away.

Those Heavenly Venerates were transformed from the blood and flesh of the Primordial Worm, their powers extremely superior, close to Demi Immortal level. If surrounded and blocked by them, death was almost certain!

As the Heavenly Venerates made of flesh increased, Skull Chen Shi leaped up, raised the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence, and with a sound, the world inside the bottle transformed into rosy clouds pouring down, enveloping thousands of Heavenly Venerates.

He inverted the bottle in his palm, lifting the Jade Bottle, and that world rose with those Heavenly Venerates, drawing them into the bottle.

Skull Chen Shi shook the bottle once, and the thousands of Heavenly Venerates inside were refined, the sound of water splashing coming from the bottle.

Numerous tentacles interlaced before him, as if an invisible giant was weaving a bloody net of flesh with them.

Skull Chen Shi raised the Jade Bottle, letting out water and fire from it, burning fiercely all around, but the tentacles only hissed as they burned, never fully pierced by the flames.

He tried to change his path but found the tentacles were weaving a net around him, trapping him regardless of direction.

Suddenly, with a loud boom, the net was torn open, Wu Qi charged into the net.

Seizing the opportunity, Skull Chen Shi activated the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence, and its world poured out, covering those severed tentacles, and with a sharp lift, drew the severed tentacles into the bottle.

At once, those tentacles severed their own portions falling into the bottle world, withdrawing quickly.

Skull Chen Shi sighed with relief, tossing the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence to Wu Qi, quickly saying, "Wu Qi, Xun Jiangmu under the name of Heavenly Venerate is presently in the underworld, besieging Lady Houtu. Take this flask, hurry and assist!"

Wu Qi replied, "Thank you."

Skull Chen Shi intended to speak further, but Wu Qi stepped forward, entering the underworld.

"Yet, even Wu Qi can't withstand the Heavenly Venerate. Though the Heavenly Venerate has not exerted full force, I only hope Wu Qi can diminish their strength."

Just as Skull Chen Shi intended to return to the underworld, he inadvertently saw the Imperial Palace Garden, where the Purple Heaven Vine and the trees had vanished without a trace!

On the ground, only a large pit remained!

"What is this..."

He was startled, "Wu Qi discovered the clue? Then this favor..."

At this moment, above Wu Qi's head, the Void Overbalance Heaven floated, and behind this Dao Realm heavenly barrier, was planted a purple tree, with the Purple Heaven Vine climbing it, and on the old vine another Wu Qi had emerged, swaying atop.

Wu Qi raised the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence, charging at the Heavenly Venerate.

Seeing his return, the Heavenly Venerate was unsurprised, and doing battle only over ten rounds, Wu Qi again fell at the Heavenly Venerate's hand.

Just as the Heavenly Venerate was about to seize the flask, suddenly another Wu Qi flew out from the Void Overbalance Heaven, activated the flask, nearly dragging the Heavenly Venerate inside.

The Heavenly Venerate was shocked and angry: "What Evil Skills has Wu Qi cultivated to be unkillable! Has his Undying Immortal Method surpassed the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill of the Earth Immortal Realm?"

He hastily activated the Primordial Worm to block the bottle's opening, narrowly escaping.

Their clash more intense than before, the Heavenly Venerate was struck with fear, thinking, "Wu Qi lives and dies—is it endless? If so, he will exhaust me sooner or later!"

Above the garden, Skull Chen Shi's eyes flared with flames: "Wu Qi doesn't yet realize, his resurrections are limited, I must warn him!"

Just as he intended to delve into the underworld, he saw gigantic eyeballs growing from the bloody clouds in the sky, rolling over, beams of divine and demonic light shining down, searching for his whereabouts.

He quickly concealed himself, thinking, "The Heavenly Venerate still has strength left."

The Heavenly Venerate's control over the Primordial Worm was astonishing, and the eyes scanned around, suddenly hearing a 'Dangdang' sound, the strange eyes promptly looked towards the source, where tentacles descended from the sky, seemingly besieging someone!

Skull Chen Shi looked over, seeing countless tendrils hanging from the sky, flying towards one place.

"Who is the Heavenly Venerate attacking?"

Just as he thought of this, a loud sound of 'Dang' resounded, Chen Yindou transformed into a giant of thousand feet, bare-chested, carrying a massive furnace, breaking through and charging into the distance.
