Chapter 13: Bai Lian Abandoned by the Void Domain
Mount Sanwei is extremely far from the entrance of the Void Domain.
Even if one travels in a straight line without any detours, it still takes three quarters of an hour.
Bai Lian had a profound understanding of the Land of Immortals.
This is a holy place independent of the myriads of worlds, not a planet that can be seen everywhere in the starry sky. No wonder no one has ever explored the boundary of the Land of Immortals for millions of years.
"If only I had mastery over a spell that could expedite my travels at this moment."
Bai Lian frowned.
Although she was already an Immortal Ascension with a physical body, her strength was not weak, but she lacked flexibility.
If it were a person who ascended to Immortal with spirit Qi, maybe they would only need a small spell as a medium to fly to the Void Domain.
However, Bai Lian also has her own advantages.
Her physical strength was deeply reflected when sparring with fellow Martial Sisters, but what’s even more noteworthy is her resilience to attacks.
She was able to defeat enemies far stronger than herself every time, relying not only on their superior imagination but also on her own strong physique!
Other cultivators would have burst and died before they could even leave after rashly swallowing an equal amount of Immortal Spirit Stones as her.
Even if one could survive the battle, they would surely die due to serious injuries afterward.
Upon clashing with Witch Queen, Bai Lian’s slight advantage became apparent.
"Is she not harmed?"
The Witch Queen, who was floating in the sky, glanced with constricted pupils.
Clearly, she saw her summoned witch spirits completely engulfing Bai Lian like a tidal wave.
In the next moment, a white light flickered and all the spirits were defeated. Bai Lian stood in the center of the halo, holding the immortal lance. Her face was as cold as frost and there was not a single trace of injury on her body. Her breath was also completely steady.
"Your strength has increased again."
The Witch Queen slowly closed her eyes.
Along with her eyelids falling was the sky, and in an instant, the whole world fell into darkness.
Bai Lian saw the Witch Queen’s body dissolve into hundreds and thousands of purple-black butterflies.
The butterflies flapped their wings and disappeared into the night in no time.
"Wahh…"
Suddenly, a terrifying storm swept through the dark night.
Bai Lian was astonished to realize that she had lost her sense of direction, as her perception of the world around her became completely distorted.
"Field?"
As she was contemplating, four long lances engulfed in crimson flames were headed straight for her chest.
The wind and thunder were leaping, and the fire flickered intermittently, "evil spirits" with hideous faces everywhere in the dark night.
Witchcraft is mysterious, excelling in being resourceful, carrying out killings in unexpected ways.
Bai Lian waved the immortal lance, but didn’t expect the four long lances that came in aggressively to explode prematurely just before they were about to be extinguished.
The fire rose, and the flames brought not the high temperature that could burn down the world, but a dense and numerous array of spells.
Bai Lian was completely unable to dodge, and could only watch helplessly as those spells poured into her body.
"Hum~"
A bell rang deep within the sea of her divine sense, nearly separating her soul and body.
In the moment of trance, those spell-like words crazily eroded her body.
Suddenly, Bai Lian’s arms, shoulders, chest, abdomen and other places were crawling with oddly shaped patterns.
Under the control of these patterns, her left hand lost control and stabbed directly through her chest.
Because of the blessing of Qianhuan Real Eyes, there was no pain at all, but the bloody scene was still very shocking.
"Is this witchcraft?"
Bai Lian bit her teeth.
She underestimated the Witch Queen a bit.
If the Witch Queen and the Demon Emperor are evenly matched in strength, for her, the Demon Emperor who likes to use brute force would be easier to deal with.
Fortunately, Qing Luan launched a strong attack on her, although the process was a bit shameful and made her extremely embarrassed, at least it made up for her weakness.
Otherwise, she would have become the Witch Queen’s servant as soon as they met.
By then, the Witch Queen would inevitably realize that she is not the real Immortal Heavenly Lord and shift her attention to her master.
"I can’t confront her head-on. Only by rushing to the Void Domain with all our strength can I have a chance to turn things around."
Bai Lian, who had come here cautiously, had a deep awareness of her true abilities. She had only been ignorant in front of An Lan.
In fact, the result was not good.
Bai Lian was never beaten by An Lan because although An Lan shouted fiercely, she always controlled the strength of her attacks just right.
The Witch Queen is not An Lan after all.
Her left eye full of greed, right eye filled with hatred, would she ever side with Bai Lian?
Bai Lian could not escape the wrathful onslaught whenever she revealed a chink in her armor.
It didn’t matter if the person died, as long as their feet were left intact.
Bai Lian carefully executed the Way of Collapse and Destruction, determined to use it to purge the curse of calamity inside her.
But at that moment, mischievous water splashes suddenly appeared in the darkness she saw in her mind’s eye.
"Water splashes?"
The water splashed open like a blooming lotus, then a fair hand reached out from the center.
The five fingers spread out, scattering millions of pale blue dots.
Where those stars had passed, the once fierce and abnormal spells seemed to melt like snow under the sun.
Then, the hand retreated, the lotus dissipated, as if nothing had ever happened.
"!"
Bai Lian looked in astonishment at all of this.
Who could tell her what exactly was going on?
Could it be that there is someone else inside her body?
Or perhaps…
A bone-chilling sensation surged up Bai Lian’s spine, making her suddenly aware that this was not the time to think about such matters.
She tightly grasped the Immortal Lance and, relying solely on a spark of insight, thrust it without reservation towards the right direction.
The tip of the lance disrupted space and tore apart the darkness, heavily piercing into a soft area and, after a brief resistance, smoothly and unhinderedly penetrating through until the end.
"Puff–"
Blood gushed out.
Bai Lian turned around and the Witch Queen’s painful groan rang in her ear.
"How can this be?!"
The Witch Queen stared in disbelief at the wound piercing her abdomen.
The battle process she had anticipated was completely different. In her imagination, she would control Bai Lian’s body through spells and witchcraft, then after reckless oppression, she would return all of the things that the Immortal Heavenly Lord had done to her in the past.
Including having limbs broken from being beaten, having face stomped on by feet, having spine ripped out…
Not only must she do it, but Witch Queen must also repay twice the amount!
Her personality was such that it was well-known throughout the Immortal World’s three thousand realms.
When Immortal Heavenly Lord was in power, she was unable to seek revenge. Now that Immortal Heavenly Lord has fallen to become a lowly ant in the mortal realm, if she doesn’t seek revenge, she would be called the Witch Queen in vain.
The high and mighty Immortal Heavenly Lord was bound by someone else, only able to watch as someone who considered her garbage played with her feet, touching and rubbing them, while being posed in various disgusting positions. It must have been quite amusing, right?
Of course, the reason why Witch Queen did this was not simply to satisfy her desire for revenge.
What if this method had broken the weakened will of the Immortal Heavenly Lord?
Then she would be spared of the effort to search for the soul of a Heavenly Lord.
Unfortunately.
The plan was perfect, but it failed at the very first step of implementation!
She couldn’t control Bai Lian and was instead stabbed by a lance.
"One in five hundred million souls can easily break free from my spell. If a complete Heavenly Lord soul were here…"
[Will die!]
The face of the Witch Queen became extremely gloomy.
She is different from those who have never seen Immortal Heavenly Lord but desperately flatter her, she has indeed fought against Immortal Heavenly Lord!
It was a useless battle, after just one exchange she was already choked by Immortal Heavenly Lord.
Despite her desperate attempts to summon her immortal spirit Qi, to call upon the way of the Great Tao, to try and summon the ancestral witch, she still could not break free from the shackles.
So, the Witch Queen had known for a long time that the Immortal Heavenly Lord was very powerful.
However…
"I never thought you would be so strong."
No wonder some people say that the Immortal Heavenly Lord is the person closest to the other shore in this world.
No wonder the brilliant master of the Way of Wanjie Dharma quietly left after sitting opposite the Immortal Heavenly Lord.
No wonder the Eternal Lord, the first person in the Immortal World, would also show respect to the Immortal Heavenly Lord.
The Witch Queen’s fingers gently touched the wound on her abdomen, and when she moved them away, it became as smooth as a polished jade again.
She sneered, "If it weren’t for Red Dust Heavenly Lord’s sudden betrayal, in another thousand years, it’s likely that the three thousand realms would have submitted to the two of you."
Bai Lian said with indifference, "I am not interested in that kind of thing."
Twelve different shapes of shadows slowly appeared behind Witch Queen.
"Since being humiliated by you, I have been very interested in you. I have worked hard to investigate your past, not letting go of any small rumors…"
Bai Lian interrupted Witch Queen’s words, "If you want to know the secret to get to the other side, give up this idea."
"No," Witch Queen laughed, "I will personally come to get that thing. What interests me, even more, is why the Path Master of the Path of Wanjie Dharma wants to kill you?"
"?"
Bai Lian stood there silently.
From her appearance, nothing unusual can be detected, but her heart has already stirred up waves and storms.
Does the Path Master of the Path of Wanjie Dharma want to kill her Master?
This is the first time she has ever heard of such a thing!
Considering the Witch Queen mistook her for the Master, it is highly likely that these words are true.
Thus, she had to contemplate the true purpose of Dao Xingyuan and the others’ trip to the Land of Immortals.
Are they truly here to find the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl?
It’s not that Bai Lian is suspicious, but rather she is forced to be.
The consecutive appearance of Demon Emperor and Witch Queen made her nerves taut, and she suspected that even a stranger had sinister intentions towards her.
"You need not know!"
Saying the last word coldly, Bai Lian didn’t plan to cover up anymore. She seized the opportunity she had found when standing still, and thrust her lance forward.
Dark clouds surged, finally torn open.
Without hesitation, Bai Lian squeezed through as soon as she could.
The Witch Queen was slightly startled.
That’s right.
It seems that Immortal Heavenly Lord is not so stubborn and has a good sense of self-awareness. She knows she can’t win and wants to escape.
"Do you think you can escape?"
The Witch Queen laughed heartily.
"Xuanming."
With a flourish of her right arm, a black figure with the head of a person and the body of a bird flew out from behind her.
Afterwards, her body dissolved into the darkness like ink, disappearing into nothingness.
Although Bai Lian sensed something amiss, she didn’t pay much attention to it.
The immediate priority was still to quickly run to the Void Domain.
She didn’t have the energy to bother with anything else.
Initially, everything went smoothly. She quickly flew over the unmanned sea area to the west of the East Divine Land, and on the way, she even met Master Turtle who was sunbathing on the sea.
"White Emperor Bai Lian."
Master Turtle stretched his head out and greeted Bai Lian.
Without looking back, Bai Lian said, "Master Turtle, please hide quickly to avoid encountering any misfortune."
"Ah?"
Master Turtle looked at Bai Lian’s quickly disappearing figure with confusion.
Before it could contemplate further, a strange beast suddenly flew in the sky.
The strange beast, with a human’s face and a bird’s body, flew over the sea, causing a mighty rainstorm. As soon as the raindrops touched the ocean, they suddenly froze into ice.
Master Turtle felt as though his blood was nearly frozen, and dared not even take a breath.
Fortunately, though the savage beast was usually ruthless, it was too preoccupied to pay any attention today. What was done was done, and Master Turtle had thus recovered his life.
"This is not good!"
Master Turtle shattered the surrounding ice blocks.
In a hurry, it wanted to find someone to help Bai Lian, but looking around, it couldn’t think of anyone who could be of help.
Undoubtedly, Bai Lian who can kill the Demon Emperor has already attained the level of an Immortal in her cultivation.
Only when fully prepared, can the major sects of the East Divine Land rely on the power of immortal tools to balance themselves against the immortal powers.
Calling them to the boundless sea is not to save Bai Lian, but to commit suicide.
After much deliberation, Master Turtle finally focused on An Lan.
Although several years have passed, it still remembers every detail of how An Lan wiped away the black kelp that inhabited it in a single stroke.
Its strength has already reached the level of immortals, yet it is still helpless against the black kelp.
However, An Lan’s effortless stab with a lance completely annihilated the black kelp, and no one would believe such power was not at least that of a heavenly being.
Actions speak louder than words.
Master Turtle immediately contacted the Duxian sect, only to learn that An Lan was out on a mission.
It had no choice but to resort to divination to predict An Lan’s movements, but the prediction failed and its shell shattered completely.
Although the divination failed, it still vaguely sensed the general location of that terrifying aura.
Master Turtle promptly mobilized the marine creatures in the boundless sea to help locate An Lan’s whereabouts.
It also went with the idea of finding a needle in the ocean, but there were too many "people" looking for it. After half an hour of fussing around, it really found out about An Lan’s whereabouts.
"I will go quickly!"
Master Turtle plunged into the huge vortex that suddenly formed on the boundless sea.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace.
On the other side.
After running for a quarter of an hour, Bai Lian was still caught up by the bird-beast with a human face.
After temporarily driving back the monster with a strategy of mutual destruction that she didn’t intend to entangle herself in, she began her escape route once again.
This seemed to pique the Witch Queen’s sadistic tendencies as she continuously sent her own concocted creatures to disrupt Bai Lian.
She didn’t use excessive force, but instead constantly depleted Bai Lian’s stamina.
This human-faced bird-like monster had no vitality, and thus Bai Lian’s Snow Spiritual Root was of no use.
Even if she leaped into a different dimension, she could not escape the monster’s pursuit in the end.
"Immortal Heavenly Lord, struggling is pointless. If you realize it early, I will spare you some pain because of your obedience."
"The magic beast relies on the way of the Great Tao passed down from my ancestors. No matter how heroic you are, you are just wasting your time now."
"My tolerance towards you has its limits. If you kneel down and lick my feet, I might forgive your nasty attitude."
Bai Lian completely ignored the continuous chatter of the Witch Queen in her mind, and all she could see was the Void Domain.
"Despite repeated persuasion, it seems that you are determined to resist until the end. In order to prevent any more nightmares in the long night, I have no choice but to disable you now!"
Near the North Luzhou sea area.
The Witch Queen, who suddenly appeared in front of Bai Lian, raised her right hand and countless gray-brown vines fell from the sky above.
The twelve beast like creatures, seemingly formed by the shadows, each occupied a position and surrounded her and Bai Lian.
The world suddenly changed.
Bai Lian realized that everything she had seen had changed.
This is no longer the sea, but an endless wasteland.
Standing beside the woodpile was a woman dressed in strange clothes. It wasn’t until she looked closely that she realized it wasn’t Yue Wuyang.
Bai Lian immediately understood that this must be the true appearance of the Witch Queen!
In terms of beauty, Bai Lian cannot distinguish who is superior between the Witch Queen and Yue Wuyang, but in terms of physique, Yue Wuyang is definitely the winner, and by a wide margin.
However, compared to the always tense-faced Yue Wuyang, Witch Queen’s appearance is much softer, even with a hint of coquettishness.
But upon closer inspection, her eyes reveal only coldness, as if all things in the world are lifeless in her eyes.
Suddenly, a strange sound like a chanting arose in the night sky, followed by the Witch Queen starting to dance near the fire pit.
The graceful dance revealed an exotic and mysterious beauty.
One dance enchanted the city, and another the nation.
However, as the dance continued, the desolate land began to change.
The world twisted and countless monsters and demons emerged from the cracks. Bai Lian, despite being well-traveled, couldn’t help but feel a chill at the sight of such a bizarre scene.
If an ordinary person were to see this, their soul would be stolen away at a glance.
"I must leave here as soon as possible."
Clearly, this was a display of great power.
Bai Lian stepped forward with her lance and stabbed fiercely.
Unexpectedly, the lance missed its mark completely and the dancing Witch Queen appeared behind her.
"This is the Dance of Witch God, even Heavenly Lords with two ways of the Great Tao may not be able to withstand it."
The voice of the Witch Queen echoed faintly.
I don’t care about you!
Bai Lian stared at the Witch Queen intently.
There is no other way, she must take action now without any hesitation!
She resolutely burned her soul again, even if she would die afterwards, she had to figure out a way to take the Witch Queen away before her death.
Now she is not far from her destination. As long as she rushes out of here and rushes into the Void Domain in one breath, all the advantages of the Witch Queen will become disadvantages.
Bai Lian’s plan was perfect and the first step was successful!
With the power erupting from her burning soul, she tore apart the Witch Queen’s condensed witchcraft world in one fell swoop.
The moment she saw the light of day, she flew towards the Void Domain with incredible speed.
The Witch Queen was stupefied on the spot, "Did you willingly burn your soul just to avoid being caught by me? I like this arrogance."
She was looking forward more to the scene of catching Bai Lian later.
The Witch Queen chased after at a steady pace.
Half an hour later.
She found that Bai Lian, who was running ahead, had stopped.
Bai Lian stopped in front of a black gate.
Not long ago, her body was still burning with dazzling soul fire, but now she had changed greatly, becoming colder than the ice and snow of North Luzhou.
"Why did you stop running?"
Yes.
Why did she stop running?
Bai Lian tightly held on to the lance in her hand.
She came here with high expectations, but what she didn’t expect was that the Void Domain would refuse her entry!
"Why, am I not the Blank Tao?"
Bai Lian’s lips turned pale.
She couldn’t understand it at all.
Now she was in a deadlock, unable to advance or retreat.
