Su Ping also noticed the Prison Bull Tourmaline and the Three-legged Small Tripod that caused spatial ripples.
And he felt the desire for these spatial Divine Artifacts emanating from the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map.
"It’s not a good idea to make a move, after all, I’m a righteous character,"
"Besides, the other party seems to come from a notable background, probably a core member of one of the Three Alliances."
"And they must be using these Divine Artifacts in connection with the resurgence of the Rotten."
"Regarding the Dark Calamity, I should at least not add to the trouble, even if I can’t contribute."
Su Ping suppressed the craving of the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map.
However, the Dwarf Taoist beside him suddenly cried out in alarm:
"Something’s not right! This is very wrong!"
"My lord! Please make a move quickly to warn them!"
"Once the Rotten emerge, it’s inevitable that there will be a massacre of living beings!"
Su Ping looked at the Dwarf Taoist, and a flash of Golden Light flickered in his eyes.
Even with his Dharma Eye, he hadn’t noticed the problem, yet this Dwarf Taoist, who seemed to be at the Nascent Soul Realm at best, had sensed something amiss.
Heh! And he dared to call himself an ordinary, unlucky merchant.
The Dwarf Taoist, aware of Su Ping’s skepticism, said through clenched teeth:
"The situation is urgent. I beg you to take action...afterwards, I will hide nothing and tell you everything."
Su Ping took out a Purple Talisman, and after infusing it with Mana and igniting it,
a highly concentrated Divine Soul flew out from the talisman and, in the blink of an eye, traveled millions of miles away, nearing the opposing Immortal Boat Fleet.
The Taoists aboard sensed the arrival of this Divine Soul immediately.
The Leading Taoist learned of the message brought by the messenger through the disciples left aboard the Immortal Boats.
"Something’s not right?"
The Leading Taoist frowned slightly. He didn’t want to pay it much attention, but he thought of the repeated reminders of his master and the Sect Master.
He retrieved the Prison Bull Tourmaline to his side, then clasped the tourmaline to his chest with both hands.
With the help of the Divine Artifact,
the Leading Taoist’s eyes flickered with a faint green light.
His perceptions also began to change.
But as he saw the true state of the surrounding space,
the Leading Taoist was taken aback, almost crying out in alarm.
With the aid of the Divine Artifact, the Leading Taoist saw that the Time-Space Sea Domain they were in had, at some unknown time, been shrouded by a green Illusion that was difficult to see clearly but felt terrifying and horrible subconsciously.
Be it the brothers and sisters beside him or the disciples left deep within the grand palaces behind,
behind all of them, there loomed a twisted green Illusion crouching over their bodies.
And yet, everyone, including himself, was completely unaware.
"When did it happen..."
Thinking of the various speculations about the Dark Calamity Corrosion made by his sect,
the Leading Taoist, amidst his sorrow, resolved to face death.
He didn’t just want to act as if he knew nothing, hurry to complete the sealing, and then escape from the scene.
What if nothing was wrong?
But as a True Inheritor carefully cultivated by his sect,
his friends and family were all living and cultivating under the sect.
Plus, with the teachings received over a thousand years,
in this critical moment, the brother that everyone looked up to stood the test and didn’t choose to flee.
Instead, he decided to sacrifice himself, ready to use the Divine Artifact to seal everyone present, including his junior brothers and sisters, along with the space itself.
He resolutely could not let the corruption of the Rotten truly spread and escalate into a disaster.
As for the strange power that reminded him,
the Leading Taoist conveyed a message: "Thank you."
Then he added: "I’m sorry, but you too might be contaminated by the Rotten, I cannot let you go..."
At the command of the Leading Taoist,
a palace-like Immortal Boat emitted a white light, followed by a dazzling beam aimed straight at the Biyuan Realm!
The Dwarf Taoist first showed a look of astonishment, but then his expression turned to one of relief.
"This disciple knows what’s right."
Su Ping, however, chuckled lightly and released the Five-Colored Divine Light toward the front.
As soon as the beam got close to the Biyuan Realm, it was struck by the Five-Colored Divine Light.
Instantly, the front end was broken by the Divine Light and it penetrated deeper.
Then, in just a few breaths, the seemingly powerful beam completely dissipated into the void.
"That is...Five-Colored Divine Light?"
Seeing this, the Leading Taoist showed a look of surprise.
Several junior brothers and sisters, still unaware of the severity of the situation, gathered around him,
their eyes gleaming with greed:
"Brother, we could tell at a glance that those people from the Small World are up to no good!"
"They are either Evil Cultivators or disguised Demons!"
"Why don’t we send a couple of Immortal Boats to capture them and then bring them back to the sect for disposal!"
The Leading Taoist snorted coldly and did not dare to inform his junior brothers and sisters of the truth.
He simply ordered the deployment of the fleet’s trump card.
In the blink of an eye, a Great Sword composed of white light was conjured and then thrust forward!
This white Light Sword was also bolstered by the powers of the Divine Artifact Prison Bull Tourmaline.
In an instant, it crossed the vast distance and appeared just a hundred kilometers outside the Biyuan Realm.
This was the Heavenly Star Sect’s special technique of the Tao Alliance—the Heavenly Light God-slaying Sword.
Using the Immortal Boat as a base, with the support of tens of thousands of Golden Core level and higher disciples,
this Heavenly Light God-slaying Sword could pierce through the main Earth Veins of a Small World.
Then it would destroy that Small World entirely.
However, Su Ping also had Divine Artifacts at his disposal.
He didn’t even activate the Divine Light of the Jianmu Divine Tree to give the opposition a revelation.
Su Ping simply threw out the Sky Flipping Seal and the Taixu Wheel.
Divine Artifacts from the Great World, even placed in the Time-Space Sea Domain, were still top quality.
No sooner had the white Light Sword emerged than it was hit by the two artifacts at the blade tip and handle,
causing the entire sword to collapse and explode.
The shockwave from the explosion headed towards the Biyuan Realm, but it was completely absorbed by the Taixu Wheel with a single sweep.
