From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 551 The Fierce and Arrogant Taiyi Sect, the Mysterious and Unpredictable Bai Haichan (Third Update)
Doomsday disaster!

The apocalyptic natural disaster among the three calamities and nine tribulations!

It is an unparalleled divine power derived from the Great Calamity Technique among the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Although Lin Taicang's cultivation level was limited, he could not unleash even a fraction of its power. But the power he displayed at this moment was already terrifying, far surpassing ordinary supernatural abilities!
"Not good! Quickly form the Myriad Stars Protective Formation!" Xing Wuwang's expression changed drastically. He roared and his Yin-Yang Realm power surged out wildly, instantly connecting with the auras of the other Star Sect disciples!

hum!hum!hum!
Several disciples of the Star Gate, also true disciples of the Star Gate, one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, remained calm despite their shock and reacted extremely quickly. Their starlight surged, and countless brilliant starlight burst forth from their bodies, rapidly intertwining and connecting in the air, evolving into the trajectory of the celestial sphere's rotation, instantly forming a profound star array! Countless star runes flickered, forming a thick starlight shield, protecting the group along with the unconscious Bai Haichan in the center!

This Myriad Stars Protective Array is a secret defensive formation passed down by the Starry Sky Sect. It draws upon the power of the stars in the heavens, making it extremely powerful!

However, the next moment——

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, utterly foolish! Break through!"

Lin Taicang's eyes were cold and full of disdain. He pushed his hands, which were forming a hand seal, forward suddenly!
Boom! Crack!
The doomsday catastrophe power brewing in the dark clouds suddenly erupted! A massive, terrifying beam of light, a mixture of dark red, pale green, and dark black, tore through the sky like a spear of divine punishment, carrying a terrifying aura of annihilation, and slammed into the starlight shield of the Myriad Stars Protective Array!
A deafening roar erupted!
The starlight shield trembled violently, its surface covered with countless star runes that flickered and creaked under the strain! It held for less than a moment!
puff!puff!puff!
Xing Wuwang, who was in charge of the formation, and several disciples were simultaneously struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out blood! The formation's operation instantly became sluggish!
It's that slight hesitation!
The pillar of light from the apocalyptic catastrophe was like a torrent that had found a crack, its power suddenly concentrating into a single point!
Tsk-!
The thick starlight shield was actually pierced through, creating a huge hole! The remaining power of the apocalyptic catastrophe surged into the formation like a raging torrent!
"Ah!" "No—!"

A scream rang out instantly!
Two disciples of the Starry Sky Sect, whose cultivation was slightly weaker and who were only at the second level of the True Qi Realm of Divine Power, were the first to be hit. Their protective True Qi and magic treasures were instantly torn apart and corroded by the terrifying power of calamity! Their bodies were as if they had been thrown into strong acid, and they quickly dissolved and decomposed. Even their souls did not have time to escape. They were destroyed in endless pain and fear!

"Junior Brother!" Xing Wuwang's eyes were bloodshot and his heart was in agony, but he could not even save himself! He was struck by a calamity, and half of his robe instantly turned to ashes. His skin was charred and cracked, his meridians were damaged, and his aura instantly weakened!
The other two disciples at the Qi Refining Realm were also in a terrible state. They desperately activated their natal magic treasures and star-based divine abilities to resist the attack and barely managed to save their lives. However, both of them were injured, and the formation was completely broken!
The power of the Taiyi Sect's Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations is truly terrifying! In a single move, it broke through the combined attack formation of the Star Gate, killing two people and severely injuring the rest!
"Hmph, the Starry Sky Sect's paltry tricks dare to flaunt in front of my Taiyi Sect's supreme divine powers? Overestimating yourselves!" The cold-faced man behind Lin Taicang sneered, his tone full of contempt.

"Senior Brother, you are so mighty!" the woman flattered sweetly, looking at Xing Wuwang and the others as if they were dead men.

Lin Taicang remained expressionless, as if he had done something insignificant. His gaze once again locked onto Bai Haichan, who was being desperately protected by Xing Wuwang, and he coldly shouted, "I'll give you one last chance. Hand over the demon and the scroll, or you will be annihilated!"

Blood trickled from the corner of Xing Wuwang's mouth, his eyes filled with rage and despair. He knew that things would not end well today; the Taiyi Sect was clearly trying to kill him and steal his treasure! He gritted his teeth and roared, "Lin Taicang! Your Taiyi Sect's actions will surely be punished by heaven! My Qunxing Sect will never let this go!"

"Stubborn to the end, then die!" Lin Taicang completely lost his patience, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. He raised his hand again, ready to unleash an even more powerful divine ability to completely annihilate Xing Wuwang and the others!

Xing Wuwang's starlight dimmed to its lowest point, and he seemed destined to follow in his fellow disciples' footsteps. Despair and resentment flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth, burned his life essence, and roared, "Starfall Escape Technique!"

With a whoosh, the remaining starlight around him suddenly compressed to an extreme degree, then exploded with a bang, transforming into an extremely dim but incredibly fast meteor that fled desperately towards the distant horizon. Its speed was so great that even Lin Taicang had no time to stop it.

"Hmph, a stray dog, not worth worrying about!" Lin Taicang snorted coldly, not giving chase, as his target was not Xing Wuwang. He raised his hand and easily broke the starlight that imprisoned Bai Haichan, and the unconscious Bai Haichan fell into his hands.

"Search!" Lin Taicang's divine sense swept into Bai Haichan's body without any hesitation, and instantly sensed a scroll in his arms that was neither silk nor cloth and exuded an ancient and ghostly aura!

"It really is the 'Dragon Subduing in the Yellow Springs' painting!" Zhao Yang's face lit up with wild joy. "Hahaha! Heaven is on my side! Obtaining this painting is a great achievement!"

However, at that very moment, something unexpected happened!
Bai Haichan, who had been imprisoned and unconscious by Xing Wuwang's remaining starlight, suddenly shuddered without warning!
hum!
An extremely subtle yet seemingly timeless and all-encompassing fluctuation suddenly emanated from his body!

This fluctuation is so peculiar. It is not powerful, but it carries an indescribable inevitability and regularity, as if its appearance is itself part of the operation of the laws of the universe!

Crack... Crack... The starlight that had been confining him was silently and rapidly melting away, just like ice and snow under the sun, under the impact of this inexplicable fluctuation!
The next moment, Bai Haichan's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened!

Those eyes had no pupils, no whites, only an endless chaos and emptiness, as if they contained all the mysteries of the universe's birth and death, or as if they contained nothing at all!

He glanced at Lin Taicang, who was standing close by and startled by the sudden change, and then at the man and woman behind him. A subtle, indescribable, and utterly indifferent smile appeared on his lips.

Then, under everyone's gaze, his body began to blur and become transparent, like a reflection in water!

"what?!"

"what happened?!"

"Stop him!"

Lin Taicang's expression changed drastically for the first time. Although he didn't understand what had happened, an extremely ominous feeling instantly welled up in his heart!

He roared and unleashed his terrifying power at the Celestial Realm, transforming it into a giant, fiery hand that blotted out the sky and contained terrifying heat capable of refining everything. It fiercely grabbed at Bai Haichan, who was in the process of fading away!

At the same time, the two Taiyi Sect disciples beside him also reacted and roared in unison. A fierce river of sword energy and a white, icy tide that froze the void simultaneously blasted towards Bai Haichan!

The combined full force of the three masters from the Divine Realm instantly engulfed, tore apart, and shattered that space!
however--

Useless!

All the attacks, whether it was the giant hand of flame, the long river of sword energy, or the extreme cold ice tide, seemed to pass through a non-existent phantom when they came into contact with Bai Haichan's illusory body. They struck the empty space behind him directly, unleashing a deafening roar that blasted up towering waves in the sea!

Bai Haichan's figure was at the center of this violent energy storm. Like a ghost, he completely transformed from reality into illusion, as if he had merged into the laws of heaven and earth. With a slight sway, he disappeared without a trace!

It left no spatial fluctuations, no residual aura!
It was as if he had never existed there at all!
On the sea, only the dumbfounded, survivor Xing Wuwang and two seriously injured disciples of the Qunxing Sect remained, along with three true disciples of the Taiyi Sect, Lin Taicang, whose faces were ashen and extremely ugly, as if they had swallowed flies.

The sea breeze howled, dispersing the residual energy, but it could not dispel the eeriness and deathly silence that permeated the air.

The cooked duck flew away! And in such an unbelievable way!

"Senior brother... what... what exactly is going on?" The female disciple's voice trembled slightly, her face filled with bewilderment and horror.

Lin Taicang's face was terribly grim. He gritted his teeth and said, "This person is definitely not simple! He must have secrets we don't know about! Quick! Immediately send a message to the sect to issue a warrant for Bai Haichan's arrest! He can't have gone far!"

His handsome face was contorted with extreme rage, his eyes filled with a terrifyingly sinister glint as he stared intently at the spot where Bai Haichan had vanished. "How dare you to toy with my Taiyi Sect! No matter where you flee to, I will make sure you are annihilated, body and soul!"
