CHAPTER 1197: CHAPTER 788: TIME STOPPED

The powerful divine pattern of the litian spear completely restrained Xiang Beifei, a strong aura enveloped Xiang Beifei’s entire body, and a powerful devouring force surged towards him!

This was the powerful devouring aura from the Ancestral artifact, almost dispersing Xiang Beifei entirely and considering him as a divine pattern!

Xiang Beifei’s soul felt as if it were being melted, and blue light shone all over him, as if he were about to be transformed into a divine pattern.

Heavenly Dao’s divine pattern!

By devouring the Heavenly Thunder divine pattern, Xiang Beifei now equates to the existence of the Heavenly Thunder Venerable, also considered an Ancestral artifact.

Moreover, a complete Ancestral artifact!

The Heavenly Thunder Venerable could not resist the litian spear, so neither could he!

Xiang Beifei felt as if he was about to be transformed into strands of power and be devoured by the litian spear; this transformation process was something he couldn’t resist. His perception even gradually became blurred, as the litian spear forcefully tried to fuse him.

But soon, a strange rejection force came from the litian spear. Without Xiang Beifei doing anything, the aura of the litian spear became unstable, and the fusion power seemed to be forcibly interrupted!

On the contrary, Xiang Beifei’s soul gradually stabilized; his torn body slowly recovered, his consciousness returned to normal, as if he had walked past the gates of hell.

Buzz!

The power of the litian spear suddenly bounced off him!

Wu Duankong’s triumphant smile immediately froze.

"What’s going on? Why not devour him!"

Wu Duankong shouted at the litian spear.

In his view, after Xiang Beifei had fused with the Thunder divine pattern, Xiang Beifei became an Ancestral artifact, a complete Ancestral artifact. A complete Ancestral artifact should be devourable!

But unexpectedly, the litian spear failed to devour!

A vibration appeared on the litian spear, with fluctuations resonating, seemingly in response to Wu Duankong.

Listening to the litian spear’s response, Wu Duankong’s eyes showed shock as he turned to look at Xiang Beifei.

"An incomplete Ancestral artifact? What does that mean?"

Wu Duankong stared at Xiang Beifei, unclear about the litian spear’s meaning.

But this was the only response from the litian spear.

"He’s a person, who openly sealed the Thunder divine pattern! How can it be incomplete?" Wu Duankong murmured.

Yet the litian spear still vibrated, seemingly doubting something as well.

On the other side, Xiang Beifei had slowly recovered.

He rubbed his forehead, gradually regaining his mobility.

"Strange, what was that feeling?"

Xiang Beifei carefully recalled the events he had just experienced.

While the litian spear was invading his body, he distinctly felt as if he was being torn away. But just as he was about to fuse with the litian spear, the litian spear found it couldn’t completely devour him and instead separated him.

However, he didn’t think too much about it now because the crisis hadn’t passed. The litian spear couldn’t devour him, but that didn’t mean it couldn’t capture him. Wu Duankong could still strike to kill!

Xiang Beifei immediately retreated.

"Xiao Bei, are you alright!"

Li Qianluo hurriedly flew over. The level of conflict just now was beyond her ability to intervene, she was blocked outside, and when she saw Xiang Beifei being restrained, she was greatly alarmed.

"I’m fine." Xiang Beifei replied.

"The litian spear is too powerful—we need to leave quickly." Li Qianluo called out.

Their intent was merely to prevent the Thunder divine pattern from being devoured by the litian spear. Now with the Thunder divine pattern on Xiang Beifei, there’s no point in lingering.

Xiang Beifei understood this too. Without hesitation, he said, "Let’s go!"

But he still glanced at the Thunder Dao Race members trapped in the corner and severely injured.

Although Lei Tianze possessed the strength of the Inquiry Dao Realm, the battle here was far beyond his reach. They had hidden far away, yet even the slightest wave from the Ancestral Dao Realm clash had severely wounded them, leaving them unable to move.

Gritting his teeth, Xiang Beifei changed direction, rushing toward Lei Tianze and his companion. He had promised the Heavenly Thunder Venerable to support the Thunder Dao Race, so he couldn’t leave them to die.

Swish!

He grabbed Lei Tianze and his companion, threw them to Xiaohei, who immediately enveloped them in his space, then carried them towards the edge of the red mist.

"Trying to escape? You won’t get away today!"

Wu Duankong, realizing what was happening, shouted and once again wielded the litian spear to attack Xiang Beifei.

He must capture Xiang Beifei and investigate thoroughly why Xiang Beifei wasn’t devoured by the litian spear.

The chilling spear swept towards Xiang Beifei Like a Shadow.

Xiang Beifei could only turn to defend, holding Wufeng, which was filled with thunder power, to meet the spear.

But the divine pattern of the litian spear, "undefeatable," was invincible—nothing could withstand this attack!

Though the sword light from Wufeng was unusual, able to ignore spiritual power, it was ultimately incomplete; facing the litian spear, it was far too weak, and the thunder sword light was suppressed.

Boom!

The powerful attack blasted Xiang Beifei over a thousand zhang away, crashing him into a mountain, shattering the thousand-meter-tall peak.

Breathing heavily, he climbed out of the rubble with difficulty. Before being hit by the litian spear, he had pushed Li Qianluo and Youmeng, Erha, and the others aside; only Xiaohei followed him. This battle was too tough, with Youmeng and Erha staying on him, they were not safe.
