Under the attack of the nine sky venerables, the assault team from the central region fell to a great disadvantage. The imperial protectors around them did nothing, they just watched coldly. In fact, they were also shocked.
Most imperial protectors were recruited from the wandering warriors of the Impermanence Realm. They’ve seen the power of the earth venerables. According to the rumors, the difference between a sky venerable and an earth venerable was just as their name suggested, like heaven and earth. However, it was ultimately a rumor and none of them had seen a sky venerable take action.
Until now.
The power of the sky venerables shocked them. From the first clash, the venerables of the central region were immediately suppressed. Granted, they had fewer numbers, but judging from the sky venerables’ expressions and bearings, they did not exert much effort.
The imperial protectors originally thought the Grand Sky Venerable had made a mistake. They thought that no matter how powerful the sky venerables were, they could not defend against everything and should station more imperial protectors. As it turned out, they were in the wrong. They would win and earn a large amount of contribution points without doing anything!
In complete contrast to the relaxed atmosphere of the imperial protectors, Mo Ling and his allies were facing one of the greatest crises of their lives. If the sky venerables were trying to kill them, the casualties would have risen exponentially. The only good thing was that the sky venerables looked down on them and were only trying to capture them.
No matter what Mo Ling and his allies did, they could not stop their eventual fate. At this time, Mo Ling hesitated. He still had his greatest reliance, but if he exposed it, not only would Emperor Hall chase him even more fervently, but his so-called allies may turn on him. For organizations, there were no eternal friends, only benefits.
...or he could escape by himself.
However, Mo Ling didn’t want to escape before rescuing Xuan Queling and Chou Nu. They were the entire reason he broke into Emperor Hall’s base in the first place. How could he leave without taking them with him?
His emotions did not allow him to escape, but his cold reasoning told him it was impossible. Unless he exposed himself.
Mo Ling took a deep breath. He had already made a decision. Since he was going to expose himself, he had to secure an escape route. To his surprise, escaping was much harder than he expected. The base was like another world. Unless he passed through the gate he first entered, it was impossible to teleport away.
He took a deep breath. ‘In that case, I’ll have to kill them first.’
“I have a technique that can reverse the situation, cover me!” Mo Ling said, using his spiritual sense.
None of his allies knew he possessed spiritual sense. It shocked them that Mo Ling possessed it as an early venerable warrior, but it gave them more confidence. So, they surrounded him and protected him as he prepared his technique. The sky venerables also sensed it, but they didn’t care. They could already tell that Mo Ling followed the martial path, so it didn’t surprise them.
Mo Ling held his hands in front of him once more. Wind gathered and formed a luminous green sphere. He was preparing his Spiraling Demon Sphere, but none of the sky venerables took it seriously. Refining powerful elements was shocking in the Impermanence Realm, but it was normal in the Primordial Realm.
Unknown to them, the Spiraling Demon Sphere was nothing more than a diversion. Mo Ling’s eyes took on a silver hue as a vast amount of soul energy filled his body.
With Mo Ling leaving the defensive line, the pressure instantly soured, and the suppression increased.
“Mo Ling, how much longer!” one of his allies shouted. He was gritting his teeth and defending with all his might, but it was akin to an ant trying to stop a car. No matter what he did, the web was slowly, but surely, tightening around them.
Mo Ling said nothing and concentrated fully on his technique.
His allies could no longer hold on. Their bodies froze in the air, akin to someone encasing them in amber. The sky venerables showed a disdainful look. They felt like they had just used a hammer to squash a mosquito, but at least they could fulfill Tianyi’s orders.
Even with victory at hand, they did not lower their guard. Various colors of qi leaked from their sleeves and surrounded the invaders in a mist. The mist slowly condensed, forming a sphere.
“I guess I was too optimistic,” Mo Ling muttered. His eyes turned pure silver, as did the Spiraling Demon Sphere. No longer was it green, but an ethereal hue. Anyone who gazed upon it would feel like someone was whispering into their ears. Not quite like a specter, but akin to an echo of themselves from past and future. “This is the first time I used this technique outside.”
Mo Ling released his control of the technique. The spiraling silver sphere unraveled and unleashed a hurricane of silver. The venerables and grandmasters of the central region felt their souls refresh and their minds cleansed, but the same could not be said for the members of Emperor Hall.
The first to be affected were the imperial protectors. Their eyes glazed over and soon, they fell over, dead. Their souls had disappeared from their bodies. Then, it was the sky venerables. Even the strongest Grand Sky Venerable was affected. His eyes glazed over and he lost sense of the outside world.
Without the sky venerable’s control, the spherical cage collapsed, freeing Mo Ling and his allies.
“Hurry, we shouldn’t have much time!” Mo Ling shouted. “Grandmasters, release the prisoners. Venerables, attack and kill the sky venerables while they’re still defenceless!”
