Chapter 277: Unexpected Guest
As soon as Bai Han decided to become serious, the tide of the battle turned in his favor. He instantly appeared in front of Wang Wei, this time holding the golden brush that had shrunk its size to a normal one.
He waved his brush, creating a black ink slash similar to a sword slash. Without the ability to react in time, Wang Wei was sent crashing on the ground, creating a massive shockwave thousand of kilometers after landing.
However, he quickly got up without a scratch on his body. He wanted to take the initiative and attack, unfortunately, this was not possible. As soon as Wang Wei got up, his step faltered, and he groan as he held his head.
He looked around to see a bunch of illusory golden scholars reading and reciting scriptures to him. Their voices had a weird power that seemed to directly attack his spirit and will.
Suddenly, Wang Wei felt like his mind was full of these scriptures, and that was the only thing there; all his thoughts and memories were slowly being replaced by these scriptures.
He knew that if he did not do something, he would turn into a mindless idiot that only know how to recite these scriptures; he would slowly lose his will and sense of self.
’This Bai Han is strange. Although he is only in the Saint Realm, his soul power is unimaginably powerful, surpassing most of the True Monarchs that I have met. No, it’s even more powerful than my grandfather.’
Wang Wei then bit his tongue to regain clarity, then used his Soul Power to guard his mind. However, he was not out of trouble yet.
The Glass underneath his feet turned back into golden sands, then they started entangling him. They controlled his arms, legs, head, and torso. He even noticed that some sands tried to enter the pores of his skin.
More ever, he could tell that these were not ordinary sands as they had the power to slowly weaken his fleshly body and rapidly draining his origin essence.
’Is this what it feels like to fight a Saint in their Domain? The entire world seems against me.’
Wang Wei expanded the Innate Field that was surrounding his skin, thus pushing the sand away and blocking them away from him. Turning into a grey light, he rushed towards Bai Han again. This time, his speed reached at least 3 times the speed of light.
Unfortunately, it was futile. Before he could even reach his destination, Bai Han appeared behind him and placed his hand on his back. A golden light flashed from his hand, and Wang Wei’s Innate Field was broken.
Coughing a big mouthful of blood, Wang Wei was sent flying and crashing on the floor. What’s more, the sand started to attack him again. Having little time to think of a better plan, a white flame appeared around his body, trying to purify Bai Han’s [Rightiousness Law] from the sand.
Of course, Wang Wei failed, but he did manage to stop the advance of the sand. With a little time to breathe, he began to inspect his body.
’My spine is broken, all the muscles in my back are destroyed, my liver, kidney, and lungs are completely gone. Luckily, I manage to protect my heart and spleen.
’On top of that, the power of Law still remains in my body, preventing me from healing.’
A bunch of strange runes flashed across Wang Wei’s eyes for a brief moment before disappearing; he activated one of his Innate Talent. Unlike in the Supernatural Realm, activating the Innate Talent no longer showed these tattoos and symbols in the Divine Body Realm.
A black and white wheel appeared in Wang Wei’s Divine Sea and absorbed half of his origin essence. Immediately afterward, all his injuries instantly healed: whether it was the broken spine, destroyed muscles, or missing organs.
However, by the time Wang Wei got back on his feet, Bai Han was already attacking.
Raising his head, Wang Wei saw that Bai Han wrote the character "Kill" in the sky, then a massive golden spear rushed from it with unmatched speed towards him.
Without much time left for him, he reorganized his Innate Shield, surrounded himself with another shield made of origin essence and spiritual qi between Heaven and Earth.
On top of that, he created two additional layers of shields made of the Cleansing-Purifying Flame and the Heavenly Destruction Flame.
Despite all these defensive measures, Wang Wei was still sent flying away, though he did block the attack. In the process of flying away, he clenched his right hand and made a yanking movement.
Soon afterward, a transparent body appeared from Bai Han’s head. With an ugly look on his face, Bai Han realized that his Primordial Spirit was being forcefully pulled out of his body.
Looking around, he saw a white string attack to his soul with the other end on Wang Wei’s hand. He mobilized the power of law to cut that thread, but he was unable to do so.
So, he controlled his Primordial Spirit and yanked Wang Wei who was flying away. In the end, he had to let go of the Primordial Spirit as he was being dragged towards his opponent.
Bai Han looked deeply at Wang Wei; five minutes passed by and he still has not killed him. Realizing that this younger generation was even more of a threat than he could imagine, he decided to end all of this.
He controlled his Domain, condensed it into the form of a hand, then patted Wang Wei. Looking at the very condensed Law Power, Wang Wei was truly helpless. So, his body and soul were instantly annihilated.
Looking at this result, Bai Han sighed in relief as he muttered to himself: "I had to use the strength of Quasi-Supreme to kill him. How shameful!"
"Not quite," suddenly ringed a voice behind Bai Han. Instinctively, he dodge to the side, but it was still a little too late. A white string flashed rushed from his back, cutting his right arm off.
He looked at his missing arm with a frown. Bai Han could feel his regenerative power hindered. To be precise, it was like the fate of his arm was severed from his own body.
After quick calculations, Bai Han realized that it would take him hundreds if not thousands of years to regrow that arm. And even if he broke through the Supreme Realm, the time would nearly decrease.
’If this kid had even the tiniest of Law Power, this arm would be severed for good. Unless someone on the level of my father intervened, I would never be able to regrow this arm.
’No matter how much I overestimate him, it seems that I still underestimate his capabilities."
"I’m curious," said Bai Han. "I saw you die, so how can you be alive?"
Wang Wei merely smiled. Of course, he would not tell him about his Bone Substitution Ability. With it, he has a few lives, so the fewer people who know, the better.
Meanwhile, after his failed sneak-attacked, Wang Wei thought to himself:
’It seems that my strength is on par with middle-level Saints, could fight ordinary Peak Saints, but I’m no match for these Heaven Chosens Peak Saints. Nevertheless, they cannot easily kill me as well.’
"Alright, this little test is over."
"What do you mean?" asked Bai Han with a bad premonition.
"I said at the beginning of the battle that I expected to encounter danger. Do you really think that I would not be prepared?"
Bai Han’s face changed as he looked upward. He saw Yan Chen holding a sword and a massive Dharma Body behind him. Without hesitation, Yan Chen swung his sword and the Dharma Body followed.
Bai Han concentrated his Domain in the shape of a shield. A massive explosion occurred, shaking the entire formation.
"Hmmm?" muttered Yan Chen, looking at the translucent Bai Han that was holding a golden brush. "He actually has a Supreme Tier Proven Dao Artifact that saved his Primordial Spirit. However, let’s see how many attacks he can withstand."
So, Yan Chen made another attack, and Bai Han’s translucent body began to fade. Knowing that he has few other options, he made a drastic decision.
Bai Han tried to use his understanding of the Supreme Realm to forcefully open the Supreme Path and reach that realm.
For a moment, clouds started appearing in the sky in the area of the formation. However, they only lasted a brief moment before Bai Han spit out a big mouthful of soul blood, further weaken him.
As for Yan Chen, he was relentless in his attacks. On his 9th attack, Bai Han’s Proven Dao Artifact was destroyed. Taking advantage of this situation, Yan Chen went for the kill.
As Bai Han watched that powerful flash rushing towards him, he sighed internally. Then, memories of his life flashed across his mind, thinking of all the regrets he had.
Right before Bai Han was annihilated, a golden light came from his body and blocked the attack. Then, the golden light slowly turned into a middle-aged man with a long beard wearing Confucian-style clothes.
"Fa...Father?"
