Chapter 898: Revival
Under the shroud of Dao An Xianzun's Jiugu Jinlian, all the cultivators, disciples, and immortals on-site flickered slightly and appeared several kilometers away, evading the attack of the Golden Light Trapping Sky Banner.
Realizing they had been translocated several kilometers away, none of Dao An Xianzun's disciples showed any panic. This wasn't the first time they had been moved into Dao An Xianzun's Luotian Realm by Jiugu Jinlian, moving together with him.
This large-scale space translocation is a capability that requires a Dao transformation degree of over 150% to achieve. Dao An Xianzun's Jiugu Jinlian further optimizes this ability.
Yet, there was little joy on their faces because everyone knew that Dao An Xianzun had fallen into a disadvantage in the exchange just now. Otherwise, there would have been no need to translocate and retreat.
'He actually repelled my master?' Song Baiyi was extremely shaken in his heart: 'Who exactly is this person? Could it be another Xianzun? Or perhaps a Celestial Lord from the Four Divisions who ascended over ten thousand years ago? His recovery speed might exceed that of my master.'
Beside him, Ling Xiu couldn't help but feel a shock in her heart as she communicated her thoughts to Immortal Qin and Wu Wei Immortal nearby, sighing: 'This Ming Ri is so strong? Even Dao An Xianzun was defeated in one move by him. He must also have a Dao transformation degree of over 150%.'
Immortal Qin calmly analyzed, "The key is that this person is using Ming Yue's aberrant weapon, so he certainly hasn't displayed his true strength. It's unclear which great deity he is and why he is pretending to be a mortal, accompanying Ming Yue."
Zhou Bai watched the sight of the Jiugu Jinlian moving people away, with a serious expression, thought to himself: 'This Dao An Xianzun might be even more formidable than Xiang Tiandi on the Heavenly Arena last time. To be able to translocate such a large number of people over such a distance.'
Christina said, "He moved everyone into the Luotian Realm with him. But to instantly move so many people into the Luotian Realm without even opening a realm gate, without a trace of fireworks, he surely must have a Dao transformation degree above 150%."
Zhou Bai: 'It's a good thing it was a straightforward clash; if it had been an all-out fight, this twisted shadow of mine might have been smashed. I'd need the main body and mechanical followers to stand a chance.'
Beside him, Ming Yue looked at Zhou Bai with surprise and joy, transmitting her voice: "Zhou Bai! You actually defeated Dao An Xianzun in one move?"
Zhou Bai smiled and said, "This Dao An Xianzun is something, if it had come to a real fight, it wouldn't have been easy for me to win."
After witnessing the scene just now, Zhou Bai gave Ming Yue a significant sense of security, causing her to instinctively feel reliant on Zhou Bai while facing Dao An Xianzun at this moment.
On the other side, though he knew his avatar could not defeat the opponent, Zhou Bai showed no sign of backing down on the surface, looking at Dao An Xianzun in the distance and shouting: "Dao An, you lost."
Dao An Xianzun snorted coldly, and boundless Dutian Xuanming True Water once again appeared in the sky, like a vast ocean.
Ribbons of Dutian Xuanming True Water weaved through the high sky, often traversing spaces directly, as if a serpent weaving through space, breaking into pieces but not interrupting the flow of water.
At the same time, Dao An Xianzun slightly opened his palm, and a black serpent-shaped statue appeared in his palm, his aberrant weapon.
Evidently, Dao An Xianzun wanted to continue the battle and win back the move he lost just now.
Everyone else watched this scene with tense expressions. In their eyes, both Dao An Xianzun and the mysterious Ming Ri were already peerless powerhouses of the world today. The intensity of the upcoming battle would likely exceed everyone's imagination.
Just as this great battle was about to begin, a flash of white light suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes. When Zhou Bai realized, he and Ming Yue were already standing hand in hand in their courtyard.
Dao An Xianzun stood not far in front of them, frowning as he looked at the two: "Heavenly Venerate, what is going on?"
Zhou Bai was slightly taken aback in his heart, Heavenly Venerate? Did the Supreme Heavenly Venerate intervene again? Was that white light just now?
Zhou Bai pondered: "How did the Supreme Heavenly Venerate intervene? Exactly what Dao technique did he use?" He looked up to the sky, yet there was no longer any Dutian Xuanming True Water, nor were any of Dao An Xianzun's followers visible.
The entire sky and earth seemed to have reverted to a state of calm, as if returning to the state before the battle began.
Zhou Bai was even curious why, with such grandiose combat between him and Dao An Xianzun, no other immortals intervened. Could this be the handiwork of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate?
Christina pondered, "I don't know what Dao technique this is either... But it looks really familiar, truly familiar." She sat on a scratching post, scratching her head, yet no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't recall where she had seen this scene before.
Meanwhile, an aged voice began to resonate in everyone's ears: "Dao An, before you is Zhou Bai, a pureblood human, and also Ming Yue's future husband."
Hearing the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's words, the three present were all startled. Zhou Bai and Ming Yue did not expect him to reveal it openly.
Dao An Xianzun also looked at Zhou Bai in disbelief: "Impossible, Zhou Bai is just an ordinary mortal, how could he withstand my Dao technique head-on."
The Supreme Heavenly Venerate calmly said, "He also defeated the ghost god Tu and Xiang Tiandi as a mortal."
Dao An Xianzun felt that his lesser brothers, Tu Ghost God and Xiang Tiandi, could hardly be compared to him, still finding it hard to believe this Zhou Bai was the person in front of him.
Over the past thousands, even tens of thousands of years, there had never existed a mortal displaying the kind of combat power Zhou Bai just showed, shattering Dao An Xianzun's established beliefs.
The Supreme Heavenly Venerate continued, "Zhou Bai and Ming Yue will marry, establish a name, gather fortune, and thereafter perform the Yin-Yang Divine Union Technique to propagate a new generation of pureblood humans, reincorporating them into the Heavenly Dao cycle."
"This is the revival plan for the human race, with us aiding them to reclaim dominance over the world and increase the number of immortals, strengthening the celestial court."
Zhou Bai Wisdom-15
Zhou Bai Wisdom-10
Zhou Bai thought to himself: 'This old liar is indeed lying.'
Christina worriedly said: "Zhou Bai! Did you fall for it again? Didn't you already know not to trust what the Supreme Heavenly Venerate says?"
"Of course, it's intentional." Zhou Bai said, "Just to test whether this old trickster was lying; it seems now that his goal might not be the new generation of humans or the revival of humanity."
On the other side, Dao An Xianzun was initially a bit surprised, but after listening to the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, he seemed to gradually accept the situation before him, looking at Zhou Bai and Ming Yue and saying: "If it truly will revive the human race, I will naturally support it wholeheartedly.
But can it be confirmed that Zhou Bai is a pureblood human? The Renhuang Sword is merely a creation of the Great Xia royal family, unable to measure certain things."
Dao An Xianzun looked at Zhou Bai with a scrutinizing gaze: "Why not allow me to personally check?"
