Chapter 14551 Breaking the Boundary Mountain of the Forbidden Realm of Immortality
Chapter 14551 Breaking the Boundary Mountain of the Forbidden Realm of Immortality
"How could that be!" Dao Sha's tone suddenly turned serious, and his hoarse voice rose sharply. "Although the Holy Hall is strong, it is by no means the only overlord. As far as I know, there are at least two other forces whose foundations are no less than itss. One is the 'Longevity Forbidden Domain,' which is located in the deepest part of the Sea of Life and Death. The lord of that forbidden domain has twice forcibly knocked open the gate to the Realm of Annihilation. Wherever he went, the laws of heaven and earth trembled. His cultivation... has probably reached an inconceivable level."
Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes: "How does it compare to my Moon Maiden sister?"
Dao Sha frowned, pondered for a long time, and then hesitated before saying, "The two... are not comparable. Although that Lord of the Forbidden Domain is strong, he is still within the constraints of the realm, while your Sister Moon Maiden is more like an existence that transcends this world."
"And the second one?" Ling Xiao pressed, his understanding of the structure of the Nirvana Realm growing clearer.
"Mount Breaking Boundaries." Dao Sha's voice grew more solemn, as if each of those three words carried immense weight. "That is the gathering place of the peak experts of the Silent Extinction Realm. Everyone in the mountain aims directly at the outside world. Throughout history, countless powerful figures have rushed forward, attempting to forcibly break through the boundary with their own cultivation... Few succeed, while the fallen have long since left behind mountains of corpses, staining the entire mountain dark red. The one you are about to meet is the Breaking Boundary Realm expert who failed to break through the boundary back then, whose physical body was severely damaged by spatial turbulence, and who has been imprisoned by the ancient killing formation in the mountain ever since."
Ling Xiao's gaze sharpened: "Could it be that once one reaches the Breaking Boundary Realm, one can attempt to break through to the outer realms?"
Dao Sha chuckled softly, his voice tinged with a hint of pride: "Life is a constant climb. If one doesn't push oneself to the brink, one will never know the limits of one's potential. Although the Breaking Boundary Realm can tear through space, it doesn't guarantee survival in the world beyond. This is a high-stakes gamble."
Ling Xiao wholeheartedly agreed. Desperate situations are often the best opportunity for potential to be unleashed; his achievements today were largely the result of struggling on the brink of life and death.
Dao Sha suddenly looked at him, his gaze sweeping over his young face from beneath his black robe, with a hint of approval: "Young friend, you are still so young, yet you already possess such cultivation and wisdom, which is truly rare."
Ling Xiao smiled frankly, a hint of warmth flashing in his eyes: "I owe a great debt to the help of benefactors. If it weren't for Sister Yue Nu guiding me and Grandpa Hong Qi protecting me, I would have perished in some crisis long ago."
Dao Sha shook his head: "The Holy Temple is too powerful for someone your age to contend with. But with your talent, given time, even without anyone's help, the Holy Temple will eventually be helpless against you."
"That depends on whether they give me the time." Ling Xiao chuckled, his tone tinged with helplessness, but even more so with determination.
“Not bad.” Dao Sha nodded, his tone becoming serious. “If I were the Holy Temple headquarters, I would never allow you to continue to grow. The road ahead is fraught with danger and peril. Young friend, you must continue to forge ahead and not slacken in the slightest.”
“That’s only right,” Ling Xiao replied, then looked at the increasingly dark sky ahead. “What is the temperament of this senior at the Breaking Realm? I still have some concerns.”
Dao Sha pondered for a moment: "In the past, he may have been arrogant and conceited, but after a thousand years of imprisonment, his edges have been worn away. Now... he should not dare to have the slightest ill intentions towards you."
"I possess a rare treasure and am possessed by a mysterious being. If I were to rescue a troublesome person who doesn't know when to back down..." Ling Xiao said frankly, his tone tinged with caution.
Dao Sha replied confidently, "Don't worry, he won't. He's been trapped for a thousand years, only seeking to escape. He would never provoke a junior as unfathomable as you for a moment of anger."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed ahead and said, "We're here."
Ling Xiao looked up and saw a figure hovering in the air amidst the endless, desolate, broken mountain range. The figure was wrapped in dark gold inscribed bandages, which shimmered with a cold, eerie light, like ancient runes that had come to life, locking his aura firmly within his body.
What is most unsettling is the dense network of holy runes surrounding him... Hundreds of millions of silver-white holy runes intertwine in the air, transforming into a giant array that covers hundreds of miles. The array's core is radiant with light, yet it exudes a chilling power of confinement, even shattering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Beneath the bandages, a pair of deep, ancient eyes pierced through the void and landed on Ling Xiao. His voice was weathered yet peaceful, like an ancient bell that had weathered a thousand years of wind and rain, slowly echoing: "Young friend, you have come from afar. Thank you for your trouble."
Ling Xiao moved swiftly, transforming into a streak of dark light and flying close by. He cupped his hands and asked, "Senior, how should we break this formation?"
"This is the 'Locking Sacred Rune Array.' The way to break the array is to find the core of the array and reverse its path with the power of the same-origin sacred runes." Lin Ruhai's voice remained calm. "Young friend, you only need to use your own mastery of sacred runes to activate the power of the laws flowing within the array to break it."
Ling Xiao nodded, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
A wisp of pale golden holy rune condensed at his fingertips and slowly emerged... This holy rune was something he comprehended after fusing with the mysterious power within his body, containing an ancient and majestic aura of law.
As his fingertips danced, countless sacred runes surged from his body, like dragons soaring into the God-Locking Array, intertwining and colliding with the sacred runes within the array.
The formation trembled violently, the silver-white and golden sacred runes intertwining and devouring each other, and thunderous roars echoed throughout the heavens and earth. Ling Xiao focused intently, manipulating the sacred runes to precisely locate the formation's core, sometimes dismantling it, sometimes reassembling it, each movement subtly in harmony with the rhythm of the heavens.
About three days and three nights later...
"Om..."
A deafening roar resounded throughout the universe, and a vast aura, like the revival of a starry sea, suddenly emanated from the center of the formation. Wherever it passed, shattered mountains trembled, and ripples spread across the void.
However, when this terrifying aura touched Ling Xiao, it obediently flowed away as if it had met its master, without harming him in the slightest.
A moment later, the dark gold bandages wrapped around Lin Ruhai shattered inch by inch, turning into countless specks of light and dissipating.
A refined middle-aged man in a blue robe appeared, with a handsome face and a hint of vicissitude between his brows, yet he could not hide his extraordinary demeanor. His body was filled with Taoist charm, as if he were one with heaven and earth.
He scrutinized Ling Xiao closely, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes before turning into admiration: "Young friend, you are so young, yet your mastery of Saint Runes has already reached such a level. You are truly a genius! I have been trapped for a thousand years and have seen countless talents, but none of them can compare to you in the slightest."
Ling Xiao smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Senior, you flatter me. I only know a little bit about it."
The man in the blue robe nodded slightly, his tone sincere: "In any case, I will remember this kindness of being rescued. I am Lin Ruhai, and the world has undeservedly called me 'King Ruhai.' If you ever need my help in the future, please feel free to ask."
"You're too kind, senior." Ling Xiao cupped his hands again, his tone indifferent. "Now that you're free, senior, I'll take my leave."
He had his own considerations. Lin Ruhai was a Breakthrough Realm expert, far surpassing him in strength. Deliberately trying to curry favor with him at this moment would be inappropriate. Goodwill naturally arises in people's hearts. When there is a disparity in strength, maintaining a respectful distance is far more valuable than forcing a relationship.
