Chapter 2898: Chapter 44: Defying the Heavens! Wang Baosheng’s ”Fatal Moment”_4

”Huh? Tree of Fortune?” The elder of Tian Yuan noticed this scene and couldn’t help but be slightly surprised, ”There’s still a Tree of Fortune in this world, could it be that the Sky-stealing Sect has returned to the world?”

At this moment, King Baofu, who had transformed into his true form, began to take the opportunity to vigorously slap the branches, with streams of the intangible and immaterial Fortune Power cascading onto Wang Baosheng from afar.

He slapped desperately, slapped desperately, slapped desperately...

Just after about ten breaths, he transformed back into a human shape, and then collapsed onto the ground in a large, spread-eagle position.

His originally jade-like chubby face was now completely pale, as if his body had been emptied in a very short time.

”Brother Bao Sheng, your Brother Bao Fu has done his best.” King Baofu lay on his back looking at the sky, moaning weakly, ”I hope you’ll turn peril into safety and get through this tribulation~”

The Tian Yuan elder witnessed all these changes but didn’t stop him.

The combat power of the Tree of Fortune is rather poor, its function is just to add Fortune to people, and having good Fortune is not necessarily a bad thing.

But in just this little delay, Crystal Thirty-Nine, who was guarding the Marrow Washing Pool above, was already getting impatient and loudly urged, ”Tian Yuan, hurry up. The Cycle Heaven Dao has gone mad and is continuously depleting me! I can’t hold the field much longer.”

”I know, don’t I have to get in close with him?” The elder of Tian Yuan mumbled, but he moved swiftly.

His God Sense stirred, and a ripple of space appeared in the Chaos Marrow Washing Pool.

A black and red coffin inscribed with secret patterns fell out, exuding a strangely mysterious and extremely dangerous aura.

”This is... [Sky-stealing Coffin]!” Old Hui, after all, was the Direct Disciple of Taoist Master Taichu and was well-informed,

Seeing the coffin, his complexion immediately changed dramatically, ”Why are items associated with Sky-stealing Dao appearing one after another? Everyone, attack quickly, don’t let the opponent’s conspiracy succeed.”

The Sky-stealing Dao was considered a crooked path during the Immortal Alliance Era, and because it was continuously suppressed and hounded, they didn’t even have a specific Sect location and could only go into hiding by changing their names, yet their legacy never ceased in the face of the alliance’s suppression.

Their specialty was deceiving the Heavenly Dao, attempting to steal a sliver of life from it, and thereby achieving eternal life.

This Sky-stealing Coffin is said to be crafted from a rare Level Seventeen time-series divine wood. Once any creature lies within the Coffin of Dao, their own time will be sealed and frozen, no matter ten thousand or a hundred thousand years pass, they will remain as they were at the moment of entrance.

Theoretically, this is also a rather unique Taoism, though their numbers were always few, they are truly strong in certain unique fields.

It’s a pity that they encountered the Crystal Ancient Tribe, who were very interested, and then were wiped out, and the entire inheritance of the Sky-stealing Dao, along with a series of relics, became one of the research projects of the Crystal Ancient Tribe.

At the time when the Crystal Ancient Tribe had not yet perished, Crystal Thirty-Nine applied for many treasures from the Supreme Council’s central warehouse to complete his experiment projects, and the Sky-stealing Coffin was one of them.

The elder of Tian Yuan did not waste time. With one finger pointing over, the lid of the coffin sealed for a million years opened, and a comatose Crystal Ancient Tribe girl fell out, landing beside Wang Baosheng.

The girl’s figure was slender and fragile, weak yet beautiful, with her eyes closed at the moment, resembling a porcelain doll asleep.

”Wait!”

Seeing the girl’s appearance, the elder of Tian Yuan was about to take action when his heart skipped a beat, and his expression suddenly turned extremely peculiar, ”Crystal Thirty-Nine, I have seen this girl. She accompanied [Crystal Five], your leader of the Crystal Ancient Tribe, when he inspected your experiment base! Are you crazy? How could you have kidnapped her!”

”She is Crystal Five’s cherished Bright Pearl, her genetic bloodline is naturally extremely excellent.” Crystal Thirty-Nine said coldly while resisting attacks from various parties, ”Don’t you think she is the best test subject?”

”You’re too crazy.” The soul of the elder of Tian Yuan trembled.

The fearfulness of Crystal Five was something he had witnessed firsthand. Crystal Thirty-Nine was daring enough to kidnap even Crystal Five’s cherished Bright Pearl for experimentation.

”No more nonsense, our time is running out.” Crystal Thirty-Nine reprimanded, ”Cycle Heaven Dao is getting crazier.”

And just at this moment.

Within the Chaos Marrow Washing Pool, the space suddenly trembled, and a human girl’s figure appeared out of nowhere inside it.

The girl’s brows were serene, her demeanor graceful, with an immortal and elegant beauty; it was Ling Zhu!

It turned out she had been hiding her presence and quietly lurking in the shadows all this while, waiting for an opportunity to rush into the Chaos Marrow Washing Pool to rescue someone.

Ling Zhu understood well that the Crystal Ancient Tribe had gone to great lengths to entice Wang Baosheng into the Marrow Washing Pool, obviously connected to their subsequent plans involving the pool. As long as she rescued Wang Baosheng, the enemy’s entire plan would naturally collapse.

Upon entering the Marrow Washing Pool, Ling Zhu immediately picked up Wang Baosheng, ready to leave without another word.

However, in just that split second, the elder of Tian Yuan had already come to his senses from the shock of realizing the Crystal Ancient Tribe girl’s identity, his expression changed, and he quickly exerted a spiritual pressure to restrain Ling Zhu.

Ling Zhu was instantly locked in place, unable to move.

”Crystal Thirty-Nine, how are you controlling the field? I can’t restrain the two of them with my spiritual pressure!” the elder of Tian Yuan said anxiously, ”Take this girl quickly.”

If it were a true Taoist Master, naturally he wouldn’t be unable to suppress two Transcendent Void Realm individuals. But the elder of Tian Yuan was just a Spirit Remnant, and his soul was significantly fragmented, lacking the battle armor of Crystal Thirty-Nine, thus his strength was greatly reduced.

In the urgency of the moment, Crystal Thirty-Nine quickly unleashed a powerful technique to force back the encroaching Sacred Supremes, simultaneously gathering a claw to seize Ling Zhu in the Marrow Washing Pool.

However, observing all this, the Eldest Princess of Jade River immediately flashed in between Crystal Thirty-Nine and Ling Zhu, using all her strength to shatter the claw of Crystal Thirty-Nine.

Amidst a massive energy impact, the Eldest Princess of Jade River was directly spat out blood by the shock and fell back into the Marrow Washing Pool.

Due to severe injuries, her entire body was momentarily paralyzed and incapable of moving.

”Another one?”

The elder of Tian Yuan felt a bit of a headache.

Why are they coming one after another, without end?

He glanced up at Crystal Thirty-Nine above, noting her increasing struggle under the relentless suppression of the Cycle River, and a bit of anxiety arose in his heart.

The longer this drags on, the more troublesome it becomes.

Forget it~ Three, then three~ Three can also continue with the experiment.

He made a decision in his heart, immediately causing another God Sense action, and a fist-sized Mysterious Female Saint Pearl dropped out of the space once again.

As soon as the pearl entered the Marrow Washing Pool, it burst with a ”pop,” releasing obscure and eerie scents and energies that instantly merged with the chaotic energy essence roiling within the Chaos Marrow Washing Pool.

Seeing this, the elder of Tian Yuan immediately retreated out of the Chaos Marrow Washing Pool’s range, then activated a Formation, and a thick, plain, opaque Energy Shield instantly enveloped the entire Chaos Marrow Washing Pool.

He mumbled to himself, ”Kid, no, Wang Baosheng, I’m doing this for your own good, so don’t use it as an excuse to hit me later!”

”I know you’re embarrassed, but this Mysterious Female Saint Pearl will help you dispel all embarrassing situations. Three of them~ I can imagine how hard it is for you.”

And also, as the elder of Tian Yuan was speaking, the ancient crystal instruments reserved by Crystal Thirty-Nine began to activate.

Amidst tremors shaking heaven and earth, the Heavenly Abode and landscape were torn asunder, and one enormous perfect Crystal Stone after another emerged from the ground, hovering in the air.

In the brilliance, each of these perfect Crystal Stones emitted a translucent and radiant glow, with powerful energy fields emanating from each crystal, stirring into waves of energy ripples in the air.

Their positions were evidently meticulously designed. The vast and refined energy flowed within the massive crystals, converging and ultimately coalescing into a massive beam of light, fiercely projecting toward the Cycle River.

”Boom!”

The Cycle River seemed to be stimulated by something, writhing violently.
