Chapter 1086: Swallowed by the Vortex

If Master Lian were to face a tribulation here, it would undoubtedly be disastrous.

"We can’t wait any longer. Look above—there seems to be a tribulation forming. If it fully materializes, Master Lian will have no way to escape," Gor’kan said as he adjusted the Sky Viewing Mirror to focus on the sky.

Sure enough, a gray cloud loomed in the distance and slowly expanding.

Even through the Sky Viewing Mirror, they could feel a sliver of the destructive, apocalyptic pressure emanating from it.

"There might be a way," Kenny Lin suddenly said.

"What way?" Amalia asked immediately, a hint of urgency in her voice.

Kenny Lin squinted. "Since the appearance of that crimson blade, I’ve felt an unusual pull. Only later did I realize it was the Yin-Yang Pearl reacting."

"You’re thinking of using the Yin-Yang Pearl?" Amalia frowned slightly.

"It’s worth a try. After all, he is my master. As his disciple, I can’t just stand by and watch him be forced into undergoing a tribulation. The old man has it hard enough." Kenny Lin spoke in a seemingly lighthearted tone.

However, using the Yin-Yang Pearl meant its secret could no longer be kept.

This thought flickered through Amalia’s mind but was quickly extinguished.

If the secret had to be exposed to ensure Kenny Lin’s master’s safety, then so be it.

The trade-off was more than worthwhile.

"Let’s try it, then," Amalia said, taking a deep breath.

Kenny Lin curved his lips into a smile and opened his palm.

The unassuming but radiant Yin-Yang Pearl appeared, resting silently in his hand.

"Go."

The Yin-Yang Pearl shot forth like an arrow, piercing through the Sky Viewing Mirror in an instant and appearing directly above the battlefield—right above Master Lian.

Sensing something, Master Lian’s divine sense swept upward, noticing a peculiar bead now floating above his head.

The bead lingered for only a moment before it darted toward the descending Sacrificial Blood of Devil Blade.

Its small form was quickly engulfed by the vast sea of black mist.

"Is that... the Yin-Yang Pearl?"

For the first time, a ripple of emotion appeared in Master Lian’s usually serene eyes.

The mysterious and elusive aura emanating from the pearl made even him feel a faint sense of threat.

Although he had never seen the Yin-Yang Pearl with his own eyes, he had heard tales of it.

Master Lian immediately recognized it for what it was.

Such a treasure—long rumored to have vanished in ancient times—was thought to be lost to the ages.

To see it here today was a truly shocking turn of events.

His thoughts flickered momentarily.

Perhaps this pearl could aid him.

Master Lian loosened his grip on the black sword in his hand, easing its pressure by half.

With a deafening boom, the Sacrificial Blood of Devil Blade erupted into a storm of blood-red light and devil energy.

The turbulent evil winds howled as strange energies mixed with black and crimson hues surged wildly.

The sky split into two: half black and half blood-red.

The roaring gale deepened the crater in the ground by hundreds of meters.

Amid this chaos of raging darkness, Master Lian spotted the Yin-Yang Pearl.

Wherever it passed, the wild energies were drawn into it as though consumed by an insatiable black hole, its gaping maw devouring every ounce of dark energy without hesitation.

The Sacrificial Blood of Devil Blade fell faster, its vortex expanding as more energy was sucked into the Yin-Yang Pearl.

As this continued, the blade’s power visibly diminished.

The two Emperor level Devils coughed up their final mouthful of blood.

Sensing the tribulation clouds above slowly solidifying, they believed Master Lian was doomed this time.

They awaited his inevitable end—either consumed by the Sacrificial Blood of Devil Blade or obliterated by the tribulation lightning overhead.

Regardless of the outcome, their objective would be achieved.

The two devils wore sinister smiles, but in the next moment, those smiles froze.

"What’s going on? Why hasn’t the Sacrificial Blood of Devil Blade fallen yet?" one devil asked, looking up in disbelief.

The Sacrificial Blood of Devil Blade should have already struck, and the center of the battlefield should have erupted with an even more formidable collision force.

"Could the opponent have used some method to resist the blade?" the other devil said hesitantly.

"Impossible! This blade was forged with our combined essence blood. Even if it was him, he couldn’t easily neutralize it," the first devil declared with conviction.

They firmly believed their Sacrificial Blood of Devil Blade wasn’t so easily countered.

Sacrificing the essence blood of two Emperor level Devils, its power might not reach ten-tenths of a Tribulation stage cultivator, but it was at least at sixty percent of that level.

Although both of them sensed something was amiss, there was nothing they could do.

The sacrifice for this blade had drained almost all their strength.

It wasn’t just the devils who were stunned; at the edge of the battlefield, Taipai Wuying and the other four cultivators also showed signs of confusion.

They hadn’t sensed any powerful collision at the center of the battle, and the massive blade seemed to have halted midway.

"What’s going on with those two devils?" Taipai Wuying muttered.

He didn’t want the devils’ plan to fail—after all, they had gone to great lengths to create this opportunity.

Losing it now would only increase the risks.

"Look at the storm’s center. Doesn’t it seem strange? It feels like there’s a massive vortex there," Daehan Zhang said gravely.

At this point, he, like Taipai Wuying, hoped that Lian Qinglan would die here.

They had already crossed the line, and once they obtained the treasure, they could escape far and wide.

There was no need to fear the Green Lotus Sect after that.

No matter how strong the Green Lotus Sect was, their Tribulation stage elders wouldn’t chase them across the ends of the world.

"There is a vortex. Wait... this is bad. The blade’s energy seems to be getting absorbed by it. Is it a spatial rift?"
