Chapter 1368: Peak of the Cloud Sea, The Transformation of Heaven Defying! (Second Update)

The moment the Vermilion Bird underwent its Fourth Awakening, the flames in the Local Realm paused, gathering together. In just an instant, they surged frantically from all directions, sweeping across the land and immediately merging into the Vermilion Bird's entire body.

In particular, the fragments of the Nine-Colored Fire Lotus formed a Nine-Colored Armor around the Vermilion Bird's body. After encircling its entire form, the surrounding sea of fire arrived. In a moment, not a single trace remained; all of it was absorbed into the Vermilion Bird's body.

Seen from afar, this was no longer a Vermilion Bird; it was clearly an Undying Fire Spirit of Heaven and Earth! The fire permeating its body, both inside and out, had reached the Peak of Solid Fire. One step further, and it could enter the Void Fire Realm!

This Vermilion Bird Fire Spirit seemed distorted, the flames within roaring as it underwent its final transformation. This process could be long or short, and absolutely could not be disturbed. Once disturbed, this once-in-a-millennium opportunity would vanish, the Vermilion Bird's Fourth Awakening would regress, and it would never again have the chance for a Fourth Awakening in its lifetime!

This moment was extremely crucial for Wang Lin!

But right at this moment, a world-shaking change occurred that Wang Lin could not have predicted!

Outside the Local Realm, on the Great Emperor Star, tens of thousands of Cultivators in the Arena were watching intently. Few noticed that outside the Great Emperor Star, the mist formed by the surrounding Magnetic Tears was rapidly surging, and muffled rumbling sounds were emanating from within the churning clouds.

The Great Emperor Star was elongated in shape, and its rotation speed should have been imperceptible. But at this moment, the entire Great Emperor Star violently shook, the world changed color, winds rose, and clouds surged. The tens of thousands of Cultivators around the Arena immediately felt a tremor that seemed to shake the mountains and tear the sky!

It turned out that the Great Emperor Star was actually rotating slowly!

Starting from an imperceptible subtle movement, it grew faster and faster. In just a moment, the Great Emperor Star began spinning wildly, like the pointer on a Compass!

This sudden change instantly caused the surrounding Cultivators' expressions to drastically change. Si Mozi's eyes revealed shock as he suddenly looked up.

Beside him, Great Master Yun Luo was performing Hand Seals with her right hand when, with a bang, her right hand became a mangled mess of flesh and blood. She stumbled backward, her face instantly turning pale, and she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"The Falling Emperor Star has undergone a massive change, and the Primordial Calamity is about to begin!!" Great Master Yun Luo retreated, her body trembling, her eyes filled with fear, muttering to herself.

Her calculations had just reached the point of figuring out everything, but at that very moment, a force of unknown origin descended, causing her entire right hand to explode.

Yet, in the instant her calculation was interrupted and her right hand was destroyed, she saw an illusory image in her mind.

In that image, a blurred silhouette had a bead revolving outside its body. Outside the bead was an object like a Compass pointer. Behind him were the Primordial Stars, monstrous bloody light, and endless corpses!

The entire Primordial Stars region was dyed crimson!

She saw Daoist Miaoyin's Physical Body collapse and his Primordial Spirit die, and she saw one Third Step mighty expert after another from the Primordial Stars perish miserably.

She also saw the collapse of the Sealed Realm Grand Array!

She even saw herself, screaming as the blurred figure struck her with one hand, causing intense pain throughout her body. Her Physical Body turned to ash, and her Primordial Spirit instantly perished. In the moment her Primordial Spirit died, the image of her let out a mournful shriek.

Amidst the shriek, in the instant of her death, the blurred silhouette turned around and seemed to glance at her.

That single glance became her nightmare!

Spitting out blood again, Great Master Yun Luo retreated several yards, her expression filled with unprecedented terror.

Daoist Miaoyin leaped up, the clouds beneath his feet dissipating and transforming into a Fan which he grasped in his hand. In mid-air, he swept out his Divine Sense, and his expression immediately changed.

Not only him, but Daoist Blue Dream also narrowed his eyes. With a wave of his right hand, blue light flashed all over his body, enveloping his daughter. His gaze was like lightning as he looked up at the already chaotic sky.

The sky was now replaced by patches of mist. This mist was filled with Magnetic Force, and endless tears flashed within it! It was the Magnetic Tears outside the Great Emperor Star, which had surged back due to the sudden rotation of the star!

The Old Vermilion Bird's expression was extremely solemn; he looked up without speaking.

Even the Old Man in Beast Hide, who had been sitting cross-legged on the Lizard Beast with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, revealing shock.

If they were like this, there was no need to mention the tens of thousands of Cultivators around them. These Cultivators burst into an uproar, scattering in unison, their minds filled with fear. At this moment, they felt as if the heavens and earth were shaking, clearly sensing that the Great Emperor Star was rapidly spinning, and they, being on the Great Emperor Star, were naturally spinning along with it.

Furthermore, the Giant Turtle on the Arena raised its head and let out a sharp, long hiss toward the sky.

More mist formed by Magnetic Tears appeared in the sky, spinning into a Vortex under everyone's gaze, descending violently and heading straight for the Giant Turtle in the Arena!

The tens of thousands of Cultivators scattered in an uproar, each one showing unconcealed fear.

Only the Old Vermilion Bird and the others remained motionless, staring intently at the rapidly approaching Magnetic Vortex.

This Magnetic Vortex arrived suddenly, but it did not attack the Giant Turtle; instead, it headed straight for the second stick of incense on its back: the Local Incense! In an instant, the Vortex, with a loud bang, merged into the Local Incense at an extreme speed.

Seen from afar, this scene was astonishing, as if the Local Incense had become a Black Hole, devouring all the Magnetic Mist in the sky of this place.

Shock appeared in the Old Vermilion Bird's eyes, and he subconsciously gasped.

"This…" Si Mozi looked horrified, completely unaware of what change had occurred inside the Local Incense!

As for Great Master Yun Luo, whose face was pale, the look of fear in her eyes intensified upon seeing the Magnetic Mist rush into the Local Incense!

"Could it be… could that blurred silhouette be him!!!"

And Daoist Miaoyin stared intently at the Local Incense, his mind shaken, roaring frantically internally: "Heaven Defying, this is definitely the power of Heaven Defying, Heaven Defying!!!"

Inside the Local Incense, Wang Lin was at the critical juncture of Solid Fire transforming into the Void Realm. But suddenly, the hidden Heaven Defying Bead outside his body abruptly erupted with a power of Heaven and Earth within him.

Wang Lin's expression changed. He instantly felt the Local Realm violently shake, as if it were rotating rapidly, though it was difficult to clearly judge since he was inside it.

Moreover, at this moment, the sky of the Local Realm was suddenly replaced by a patch of mist. This mist was filled with an extremely powerful Magnetic Force, covering the sky and earth, heading straight for Wang Lin!

Wang Lin had no time to dodge. The endless Magnetic Mist violently approached, surging into his body and drilling into the Heaven Defying! Inside Wang Lin's chest, the Heaven Defying Bead materialized, appearing like a Qi Vortex, continuously devouring the incoming Magnetic Force.

Light flashed rapidly on it. With every flash, more of the Magnetic Mist was sucked in.

All of this happened in a flash. Instantly, Wang Lin felt a roar inside his body. As the Heaven Defying absorbed the Magnetic Force, it simultaneously released a force that rushed into his Soul, and images suddenly flashed within his consciousness!

In these images, there was only one type of object!

It was a massive Compass!

This Compass was large enough to rival the starry sky! On the Compass, there was a huge Pointer, which was slowly rotating. Eerie Light flashed on it, occasionally flowing out as the Pointer turned, its destination unknown.

Furthermore, embedded in the very center of the Compass was a massive bead, and that bead was precisely… Heaven Defying!

At the same time these images appeared in Wang Lin's Soul, outside the Great Emperor Star, within the Land of Falling in the Primordial Stars, an illusory scene appeared that shocked the minds of everyone who saw it!

Outside the Great Emperor Star, the vast starry sky flashed with endless light, gradually revealing a massive circular object, shaped like a Compass! This object appeared illusorily, with the Great Emperor Star in its center, looking exactly like the Pointer!

At this moment, the Great Emperor Star was rapidly spinning, just like a Compass Pointer rotating!

In the very center of the Compass, a blurred bead was flickering. The bead was murky, and faintly revealed the figure of a person within. This person was none other than Wang Lin!

After spinning rapidly in circles, the Great Emperor Star, which acted as the Pointer, suddenly trembled and stopped rotating. The direction its Pointer indicated was the Southwest Direction!

The moment it stopped rotating, a streak of Eerie Light flashed on the Great Emperor Star, which resembled a Pointer, and then shot out rapidly, whistling toward the starry sky in the Southwest Direction!

It was unclear what the Eerie Light was, but it instantly left the Land of Falling, flashing away at an indescribable speed. Everything that stood in its way—whether Cultivators or Cultivation Planets—silently disintegrated the moment they encountered the Eerie Light.

In the blink of an eye, the Eerie Light reached the end of the Southwest Direction, which was precisely where the Sealed Realm Grand Array was located! Outside the Sealed Realm Grand Array, Cultivators had been stationed for ages. At this moment, these hundreds, nearly a thousand Cultivators, only felt a blur before their eyes, as if an Eerie Light flashed, and their bodies trembled and disintegrated one after another.

The Eerie Light directly struck the Sealed Realm Grand Array. The Grand Array immediately seemed to boil, and all the Artifact Spirits within it materialized. Amidst ten thousand rays of light, the Eerie Light dissipated, its destination unknown—whether it merged into the Grand Array or broke through it and left.

The illusory Compass outside the Great Emperor Star slowly dissipated, and the Great Emperor Star also stopped rotating, seemingly returning to its original state. Inside the Local Realm, after the Heaven Defying Bead in Wang Lin's body finished absorbing the last wisp of Magnetic Mist, an infinite Magnetic Force suddenly burst forth, seemingly spitting out everything it had just swallowed.

Wang Lin's body was like a sieve; a large amount of Magnetic Mist suddenly erupted from within him. The Vermilion Bird beside him, which was at the critical moment of transforming from Solid Fire to Void Fire, bore the brunt of the impact from this Magnetic Mist.

The instant the Magnetic Mist swept past, the Vermilion Bird's body violently shook. All of its Solid Fire collapsed, and it completely transformed into Void Fire. However, because this Void Fire was swept by the Magnetic Force, an extremely bizarre change occurred within it!

This change would shock even the First Generation Vermilion Bird Old Ancestor if he were to see it!
