Chapter 222: Immortal Artifact: Sun–Moon Wheel
"No……"
The elders of the Sacred Land of Qinglan had never expected that once the grand formation was activated, what awaited them would instead be a terrifying backlash.
That was right—backlash.
Before their eyes, the manifestation behind Li Tianwei, carrying an aura capable of annihilating everything, slammed heavily into the formation.
Even the radiance of the great sun in the heavens was absorbed by that manifestation, let alone the grand formation of Qinglan Jade.
With merely a single contact, the formation was already covered in cracks.
“Pu, pu……”
The Sacred Lord of Qinglan was the first to spit out blood, followed by those Union Realm Ancestors, and then the disciples.
It was as if half of their spirit had been shaved away; their entire bodies looked utterly listless and drained of vitality.
“This power, this might—could it be that he has already become an Immortal? Otherwise, how could he possess such terrifying strength?”
Feeling this dreadful offensive, everyone was left with only one thought: run. Preserving their lives was what mattered most. That person was simply unbeatable.
Unfortunately, there was no opportunity for them to escape.
Under the influence of the grand formation, it was not something they could flee from just because they wished to.
At this moment, the formation cracked open, and a cruel smile appeared on Li Tianwei’s face.
All of a sudden, by the time everyone came back to their senses, a Saint Soul Banner had already appeared in Li Tianwei’s hand, gently swaying there.
Black-green dim light shone forth, accompanied by intermittent shrill wails of fierce ghosts coming from within the banner.
This made the disciples and elders of the Sacred Land of Qinglan feel their scalps go numb. Before they could even react—
With a single wave of Li Tianwei’s hand, the soul banner erupted as one shadow after another howled out from within.
“Freedom! Another chance to look for old companions—where is this time?”
Within those excited shouts was also a trace of tearful gratitude, as though this was exactly what they had struggled for.
Dense masses of fierce ghosts and evil souls appeared, and immediately began charging toward the grand formation.
When the disciples and elders of the Sacred Land of Qinglan saw those figures continuously surging out of the banner, terror flooded their hearts.
“Isn’t that Ancestor Tingxuan? How was he refined?”
“And that’s the Heavenly Blood Demon Ancestor, and Daoist Wang Xuan of the Sacred Land of Baiyuan— and that one is……”
Watching one familiar figure after another emerge, along with the auras erupting from their bodies—
From Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Out-of-Body, Union, and finally Tribulation Transcendence……
Countless evil souls of powerful experts appeared, making one’s scalp tingle just from looking at them.
Under such overwhelming attacks, people within the Sacred Land of Qinglan had already begun to collapse.
“What is going on? How could his evil soul banner refine and command so many people?”
“All these ancestors are dead!”
They screamed in panic.
Boom, boom……
At this moment, the grand formation of the Sacred Land of Qinglan was already showing signs of imminent collapse.
The formation that was originally thought capable of holding for a while had instead turned into a death talisman that bound the cultivators of the Sacred Land of Qinglan in place.
“Too fast, it’s too fast……”
“Sacred Lord, we can’t hold on any longer!”
“Save me, quickly save me!”
At this moment, some unleashed tremendous power to resist Li Tianwei’s assault, only to suffer backlash and explode on the spot.
The crisis of death caused disciples and elders who still had some confidence left to begin fleeing in secret.
Seeing this, even the Sacred Lord of Qinglan had not expected Li Tianwei to be terrifying to such an extent.
Not only did he possess overwhelming strength, he had even refined the cultivators who had attacked the Sacred Land of Lingxu and could now command them at will.
How long had it even been? After just a few exchanges, the formation was already about to break.
“No, this absolutely cannot continue like this.”
“We can only use the Immortal Artifact.”
“Otherwise, there will be nothing left for us but annihilation.”
The Sacred Lord of Qinglan had already made his decision and immediately turned to look at the two Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ancestors beside him.
At this moment, they were just like everyone else, fully invested in maintaining the formation. Their faces were pale, clearly showing how enormous the consumption was.
“Ancestors, please activate the Immortal Artifact!”
“If this continues, we truly won’t be able to hold on!”
The Sacred Lord of Qinglan shouted toward the two Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ancestors without hesitation.
Because of the terrifying nature of the Immortal Artifact, after obtaining it, the Sacred Land of Qinglan had sealed it away and continuously nourished it with various resources.
The Sacred Land of Qinglan was not ruled solely by the Sacred Lord. To summon this Immortal Artifact required not only the Sacred Lord’s command, but also the authorization of two Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ancestors.
But now, the Sacred Lord of Qinglan could no longer care about any of that.
The two Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ancestors nodded deeply upon seeing this, then turned their gazes toward Li Tianwei, their eyes filled with fear and wariness.
Unfortunately, there was no time left for them to compose their emotions. In their view, if they wanted to live, they had to fight with everything they had.
“Where Heaven and Earth reach, sun and moon lose their light……”
“As time revolves, sun and moon illuminate all……”
“Sun–Moon Wheel……”
The two Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ancestors began chanting incantations without hesitation, forming hand seals simultaneously.
Boundless immortal light radiated from their bodies.
A five-colored radiance, breaking free from the pull of Li Tianwei’s manifestation, shone out from the center of the Sacred Land of Qinglan. A majestic power entirely different from this world revealed itself.
Seeing this change, Li Tianwei also showed a trace of surprise.
“It can actually break free from the pull of my four fundamental forces……”
“Is this the power of immortals?”
Li Tianwei looked toward the center of the Sacred Land of Qinglan, thinking this to himself.
The incantations of the two Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ancestors continued unabated.
At this time, the Sacred Lord of Qinglan also joined in.
Not long after, the Immortal Artifact at the center of the five-colored immortal light finally revealed its true form.
A massive dharma wheel dozens of meters wide appeared, engraved with countless inscriptions. One side was black, with a bright moon hanging in the heavens; the other side was white, with a great sun shining upon the earth.
Sun and moon hung together, heaven and earth revolving.
Immortal Artifact: Sun–Moon Wheel.
As the Immortal Artifact emerged, the terrifying Dao intent of Li Tianwei’s manifestation—which had been pulling and dominating half the sky—was actually restrained at this very moment.
An eerie aura from within the Sun–Moon Wheel began an invisible contest with it.
Seeing the appearance of the Sun–Moon Wheel, Tian Gang Superior, who was standing guard beside Li Tianwei and was well-informed, naturally recognized it at once.
“That is an Immortal Artifact.”
“An Immortal Artifact?”
Hearing Tian Gang Superior’s words, Li Tianwei’s expression also became solemn.
After all, in Li Tianwei’s understanding, immortals represented supreme greatness and omnipotence. Any artifact tainted with the word “immortal” was bound to be extremely terrifying.
The appearance of the Sun–Moon Wheel invisibly checked the collapsing momentum of the Sacred Land of Qinglan.
As for the Sacred Lord of Qinglan, upon seeing the Immortal Artifact appear, he finally let out a breath of relief and immediately regained some confidence.
When he looked at Li Tianwei again, there was a hint of smugness in his gaze, as if he wanted to reclaim some dignity from this situation.
“I didn’t expect the Sacred Land of Qinglan to be hiding an Immortal Artifact.”
“No wonder you were so arrogant.”
The evil souls that had emerged from the Saint Soul Banner also saw this scene and immediately turned to look at the evil souls of the Sacred Land of Qinglan that Li Tianwei had previously refined into the banner.
As for those souls, their faces were full of confusion—it was obvious that even they had no idea that the Sacred Land of Qinglan possessed such a treasure.
