Chapter 856 480: The Hidden Mastermind Manipulating the Reincarnation Forbidden Land (Part 2)

At the very center of the whirlpool, a pitch-black entrance appeared, as if it led to the next star realm and time.

Opportunities like this were certainly not something Taiyue Divine Venerable could waste; his journey had been in pursuit of a new world.

Ending up here was merely an accidental arrival in the Desolate Ancient Wilderness Star Realm, and the Reincarnation Forbidden Land was too strange—the longer the stay, the greater the danger. Through the starry altar, Taiyue Divine Venerable realized hope was right before him—not something he could give up on.

"Go!"

Focusing on the increasingly massive whirlpool in the sky, Taiyue Divine Venerable directly issued the command. Instantly, the Creation Divine Ship stationed in the void began moving, like an arrow leaving the bowstring, rushing deeper into the whirlpool.

For a moment, the Creation Divine Ship accelerated to its maximum speed, and the enormous ship, with incredible acceleration, penetrated through the space barrier, plunging headlong into the giant whirlpool entrance.

Boom boom!

At the instant the Creation Divine Ship vanished into the whirlpool entrance, the dormant Reincarnation Continent seemingly came alive, and the entire continent began to quake.

It started with a powerful aura that soared, and the ancient will from the Ancient Era awoke.

The violent tremors, as if the Reincarnation Continent buried some terrifying ancient creature, were awakened—its dreadful aura incessantly battering the space.

Buzz buzz!

Alongside the terrifying aura stirring the heavens, the flesh blocks that originally emitted eerie vibes all around suddenly merged together, quickly congregating to the center, growing as one, ultimately forming a giant hand.

Boom!

The giant hand formed from these eerie flesh blocks flew up from the ground, driven by the resurrecting ancient aura, heading towards the enormous whirlpool deep in the starry altar.

Perhaps because Zheng Yi seized the Reincarnation Immortal Embryo and activated the starry altar, leaving this Reincarnation Continent—causing the fail-safe left by the ancient great power nurturing the Reincarnation Immortal Embryo to completely malfunction.

The residual ancient will awoke and gathered the eerie flesh blocks into a gigantic hand, directly reaching for the "escaping" Creation Divine Ship.

...

Boom!

As Taiyue Divine Venerable drove the Creation Divine Ship, rushing towards the deeper cosmic space gateway, he suddenly felt a terrifying aura, like a tidal wave, surging from behind.

Turning around, he saw an enormous hand, nearly obscuring half the starry sky, forming a giant shadow across the skies, reaching towards the Creation Divine Ship.

"I didn't expect to still attract the attention of the ancient great power?!"

Taiyue Divine Venerable clearly understood; setting up such a vast project to nurture the Reincarnation Immortal Embryo—such a being was certainly not ordinary.

Therefore, he hurriedly fled with the body possessing the Reincarnation Immortal Embryo, rapidly escaping from that bizarre Reincarnation Continent; yet still, couldn't leave easily, being discovered by the other party.

Trailing closely behind, the colossal flesh hand—both eerie and alarming in its gathered aura.

Merely the aura emitted from the hand already transcended Taiyue Divine Venerable's level; if caught, it couldn't withstand the forceful grasp—potentially causing the collapse of the Nine Provinces Divine Kingdom.

Gazing at the all-encompassing hand, Taiyue Divine Venerable fully activated the preserved Power of Incense, regardless of the risk of high-speed flight damaging the Creation Divine Ship—he directly piloted the ship, using the Power of Incense as fuel, accelerating relentlessly.

Like a bolt of lightning, it flashed through one cosmic gateway after another, aided by the starry altar's teleportation ability, rapidly escaping outward.

However, the colossal hand closely followed, its speed still not inferior to the Creation Divine Ship—instead, even faster, closing the distance between them, inching closer to the ship.

"Still can't shake it off?!"

Even after passing through several star realms, he couldn't evade the pursuit of the all-encompassing hand. Taiyue Divine Venerable had no good solutions.

Speed has already been maximized; the Creation Divine Ship couldn't accelerate further—already at its maximum speed. Moreover, after rushing such a long distance, the consumption of Power of Incense was enormous.

If this continues, in one or two more star realms, the all-encompassing hand would completely envelop the ship.

Just as Taiyue Divine Venerable's expression fluctuated, the distant whirlpool in flight suddenly ceased spinning; the entrance gradually shrank, seemingly on the verge of closing entirely.

This instead brought a smile to Taiyue Divine Venerable's face—after all, the starry altar had been dormant too long with insufficient bearing capacity, even ignited by Power of Incense, the energy rapidly depleted—the space-jumping gateway was about to close.

Suddenly, the all-encompassing hand shivered, and the resurrected ancient great power's will apparently sensed something amiss—the relentless pursuing hand sought to retract.

"After chasing for so long, leaving something behind—how can that not count as reciprocation?!"

Watching the retreating hand, Taiyue Divine Venerable's eyes became ruthless, not only redirecting the Creation Divine Ship's bow in pursuit of the hand's retraction direction.

Moreover, he sat atop the Creation Divine Ship, chaotic air flow swirling around, tossing a hand upward, four differently colored sword lights shot out.

The Four Immortal Slaying Swords!

The soaring Four Immortal Slaying Swords radiated four distinct colors, slicing the void, manifesting four portals of light.

These four portals stood suspended, as rattling tremors formed four differently colored chains, one end plunging deep into the void.

While the other end swiftly coiled around the retreating giant hand.

The starry altar's spatial jumping gateway was about to close, the enormous hand sensed the crisis and sought retraction, yet now, securely bound by four chains, both sides locked in a mid-air stalemate.

Roar roar!

A sky-shaking roar suddenly reverberated from the whirlpool's opposite side, seemingly angering the leftover will of the awakened ancient great power—the all-encompassing hand sought retraction back through the gate with increasing tugging force.

Even the chains entwined around the fingers couldn't prevent its retreat; the Sword Array suspended in the sky, four Sword Gates deeply embedded within the space, began to distort and deform under the formidable pull.

At the moment, the erupting force was far too terrifying—even the Four Immortal Slaying Swords gradually deformed under the strain, indicating imminent collapse.

"Having come this far, you still wish to depart so easily? Leave it behind!"

Even facing the residual will of the ancient great power, Taiyue Divine Venerable's indifferent voice echoed across the heavens.

He remained unafraid of the resurrected ancient great power's residual will.

Actually, there was indeed no need for fear.

At least temporarily, the transmission was blocked—the residual will wouldn't easily traverse the star realm and catch up.

Moreover, the star map began to crumble—without the star map's guidance, finding this place amidst the boundless cosmos was merely a foolish dream.

Seeing Taiyue Divine Venerable raise both hands directly, an immense burst of spiritual power of belief erupted from the Power of Incense, transforming into burning flames, covering the chains, spreading up to the all-encompassing hand.

Leveraging this surging power of incense, the four differently colored chains transformed into four fiery dragons—the pulling force grew even more formidable.

Despite the continuous struggle of the all-encompassing hand, it couldn't completely retreat in a short time.
