Chapter 814: Void Mirror (Extra Chapter for Subscription)
"Hm?"
Fang Xi was about to activate the phantom of the Progenitor Demonic Tree to use the "Supreme Pole Star Life-Ending Divine Light" to obliterate Five Elements Child, but with a slight shift of his Divine Consciousness, he instantly changed his hand seals.
The Black Wood Seal burst forth with the power fluctuations of a Seventh-rank Void Amalgamation treasure, transforming into a towering black mountain that blocked his path.
This "Life and Death Seal" was originally his Life-Bound Artifact, and after his advancement to the Void Amalgamation stage, it had smoothly ascended to the Seventh-rank as well.
At this moment, Fang Xi also saw a layer of golden barrier appear before him.
Upon the barrier, golden Sanskrit characters flowed, jointly forming Buddhist secret incantations such as "Prajñāpāramitā".
Boom!
A massive golden axe heavily cleaved down upon the barrier, and countless Sanskrit characters shattered instantly.
The crisp sound of the Five Elements Bell spread across a radius of ten thousand li.
Subsequently, it was suppressed by a Buddhist chant.
"Amitābha."
A golden light flashed, and beside Fang Xi, a small monk with red lips and white teeth, clad in a moon-white monastic robe, appeared seemingly out of nowhere.
He held a golden alms bowl, and his aura reached the mid-stage Void Amalgamation, truly the avatar of Jin Gangzi!
After all, his true body was said to be severely injured and had been in secluded cultivation.
Only his avatar could move freely outside.
"Jin Gangzi. . . are you here to stop me? " Five Elements Child raised a hand, and the Five Elements Bell flew back, landing above his head, continuously emitting crisp chimes.
"Fellow Daoist Five Elements Child, this humble monk has no intention of fighting you. It's just that the matter of Mangque Arhat involves a great deal, and he is, after all, a Buddhist cultivator under this humble monk's jurisdiction. . ."
Jin Gangzi smiled, "For Fellow Daoist to intervene now, isn't it a bit presumptuous?"
"Hmph, this old man merely couldn't stand this person's savage arrogance, brazenly killing others. . ."
Five Elements Child snorted, "Since you, Jin Gangzi, want this murky water, then take it. . ."
Before his words faded, a five-colored light of escape flashed, and Five Elements Child vanished.
"This fellow certainly fled quickly!"
Fang Xi sighed with emotion.
"Five Elements Child's 'Five Elements Great Escape' is a divine ability born from pushing the 'Five Elements Body' to its extreme. If his true body were to use it, it is said he could escape even from under a Mahayana cultivator's hands. . . His retreat now clearly shows he fears us two joining forces to keep him here. . . Although a Five Elements avatar can be re-cultivated, that 'Five Elements Bell' is Five Elements Child's prized possession."
Jin Gangzi explained with a chuckle.
"Fellow Daoist Jin Gangzi, it was a hurried farewell last time. I didn't expect to meet again under such circumstances. . ."
Fang Xi bowed to Jin Gangzi.
"Fellow Daoist possesses noble character, guarding Tianfan City for Fellow Daoist Luo and rooting out spies, for which you have rendered great service."
Jin Gangzi pressed his palms together, replying very kindly.
"Speaking of spies. . ."
Fang Xi immediately released the Sixth-rank 'Yin Puppet Worm' and Mangque Arhat's Nascent Soul. "These two, I ask Fellow Daoist Jin Gangzi to personally oversee. . ."
"No worries."
Jin Gangzi smiled slightly, and two golden lights shot from the alms bowl in his palm, drawing both the Yin Puppet Worm and the Nascent Soul completely into it.
"This worm race is extremely difficult to soul-search. I have a secret art here that I can bestow upon Fellow Daoist."
Fang Xi tossed a jade slip to Jin Gangzi; it was the original copy of that worm race's secret art.
Jin Gangzi accepted it, his expression turning somewhat solemn. "The frequent prying of alien races into our human race is not a good sign."
"Actually. . ."
Fang Xi pondered for a moment, then still spoke of the alien alliance. "This war is peculiar. If our human race's Mahayana cultivators have already all been deployed, it would be best for Fellow Daoist to notify them, as vigilance is needed. . ."
"Alien alliance? Jiuchi race?"
Jin Gangzi's face changed drastically. "Currently, our human race's three Mahayana cultivators—Bu, Che, and Meng—are already confronting numerous Demon Ancestors in Demon Heaven City, with war on the verge of breaking out. . ."
"Hm?"
Fang Xi hadn't expected things to have reached such an urgent stage.
He thought for a moment and said, "Among our human race, there should be other Loose Immortals. I wonder if they can rush to provide support?"
"Alas. . . those seniors have long ceased to concern themselves with worldly affairs. This humble monk can only do his best. . . I hope one or two of them can receive the message."
Jin Gangzi gave a bitter smile.
Those long-standing Mahayana Loose Immortals had either long ignored worldly affairs, focusing solely on secluded cultivation, just waiting to pass their tribulation and ascend.
Or they were roaming the world, searching for secret arts to overcome tribulations.
One type wouldn't care even if the human race faced a crisis of life and death.
The other type, even if one searched with all their might, might not find any trace of them.
...
Several days later.
Demon Heaven City.
As the last city of the "Twelve Netherworld World-Ending Demonic Array," if this stronghold were breached, this super formation would undoubtedly lose its effect, allowing the human army to penetrate deep into the demon race's territory.
Every time this situation occurred in history, it resulted in the slaughter of the demon race and their decline into weakness.
Rip!
Above the sky, dark clouds gathered densely, and five-colored lightning danced wildly.
The Mahayana cultivator surnamed Bu, in the guise of a sword-wielding Daoist, had sword qi fluttering around him as he looked at the broad-shouldered, black-robed Mahayana cultivator surnamed Che: "Fellow Daoist Xuan Yuan, your injuries have not yet healed. Why push yourself so?"
Che Xuanyuan smiled calmly, "I have suppressed my injuries with a secret art. Within forty-nine days, there should be no major issues. . . Now that the demon race has gained a Mahayana opportunity and moreover, taken the chance to injure Jin Gangzi, I simply had to come."
"Old Ghost Bu, Old Ghost Che. . . enough nonsense. " The five-colored lightning condensed, forming a giant human face.
"Old Ghost Meng, it seems you suffered a significant loss last time you encountered the two Demon Ancestors, Azure-faced and Blood Dragon. . ."
Old Ghost Bu’s face showed a hint of playful mockery.
In truth, the relationship between the human race's Mahayana Loose Immortals was not particularly good.
Ever since the junior from the Fang Xian Dao Palace whom he favored had inexplicably perished in a duel with Five Elements Child, Mahayana Bu had felt that Old Ghost Meng had some issues.
But in the end, he had let it go.
After all, making an enemy of a fellow cultivator of the same realm for a dead person was not worth it!
"Enough nonsense."
The face made of five-colored lightning roared, and demonic thunderbolts exploded one after another, landing on Demon Heaven City's protective grand array.
"Five Elements Demonic Thunder. . . Old Ghost Meng's comprehension of the Five Elements laws is truly profound."
Seeing this, Che Xuanyuan also muttered inwardly, "This person has a rather close relationship with that Five Elements Child, and it truly isn't without reason."
Between heaven and earth, an endless stream of azure demonic qi suddenly converged, forming a monstrous demon race face.
A giant dragon, seemingly flowing with fresh blood at all times, appeared.
Subsequently, a violet light flickered, astonishingly making even Mahayana cultivators feel as if in a dream, as if heaven and earth instantly transformed into a purple crystal space.
"Azure-faced, Blood Dragon, Purple Dazzle. . ."
Che Xuanyuan murmured, and his figure vanished in an instant.
The next moment, the six Mahayana cultivators engaged each other, and the sky itself seemed to be torn apart. . .
After reaching the Mahayana stage, whether human, demon, or monster, their cultivation had reached perfection, with no distinction of early, mid, or late stages.
The number of Immortal Lightning Tribulations passed only indicated a step closer to becoming an immortal, and would not significantly increase their strength.
Furthermore, every Mahayana cultivator was a peerless genius with astonishing destiny, so their strengths were actually similar, making it difficult to determine victory.
Even if victory was determined, it was extremely difficult to determine life and death.
Unless, those Seventh-Tribulation or even Eighth-Tribulation Mahayana cultivators made their move!
But those Eighth-Tribulation Mahayana cultivators did not possess the strength to crush ordinary Mahayana cultivators simply because they had passed eight Immortal Lightning Tribulations!
On the contrary, it was because they possessed the strength to crush ordinary Mahayana cultivators that they could reach the Seventh-Tribulation and even Eighth-Tribulation levels!
And these three human Mahayana cultivators and three Demon Ancestors actually possessed relatively balanced strength.
After reaching Mahayana, divine abilities and spells were almost useless; it was solely about the depth of one's comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth.
Among Mahayana cultivators, a Semi-Immortal Artifact could only be considered standard equipment.
But if one could obtain an Immortal Abode Rare Treasure that could borrow the power of heaven and earth's laws, it would be enough to create a significant gap with ordinary Mahayana cultivators!
In Che Xuanyuan's hand, a silver-white ancient mirror appeared.
The surrounding void subtly rippled, and his figure vanished instantly.
The next moment, silver Heavenly Flowers drifted down from the Nine Heavens, and the laws between heaven and earth subtly fluctuated.
The purple light was shattered first, followed by the bleeding giant dragon, which roared involuntarily: "Void Mirror! ?"
"Indeed, it is the Void Mirror."
Che Xuanyuan's expression remained unchanged. If not for wielding this Immortal Abode Rare Treasure, he might have already died in the last self-destructive attack of that True Spirit Phoenix.
And a Mahayana Loose Immortal possessing an Immortal Abode Rare Treasure was a completely different concept from an ordinary Mahayana cultivator.
The three human Mahayana cultivators had the confidence to suppress the three Demon Ancestors precisely because of the existence of the Immortal Abode Rare Treasure.
Although the demon race also possessed Immortal Abode Rare Treasures, they were in the hands of those ancient demon lords.
After all, demonic nature was more selfish; even when involving the rise and fall of their race, it was not as important as passing a few more Immortal Lightning Tribulations themselves!
In the blink of an eye, the situation became very favorable for the human side.
"Go!"
Old Ghost Meng roared, and the Five Elements Demonic Thunder suddenly fused, transforming into a chaotic, primordial-colored immortal secret thunder.
The astonishing lightning swept across the void, clearing away countless azure demonic qi, and landed on the true body of the Azure-faced Demon Ancestor.
Seeing this, Che Xuanyuan immediately inverted the "Void Mirror"!
Silver Heavenly Flowers fell in sheets, seemingly melting the Azure-faced Demon Ancestor's divine demon body. . .
In a flash, the Azure-faced Demon Ancestor was heavily wounded!
He furiously spat out a mouthful of demonic blood and retreated back into Demon Heaven City.
Seeing this, the Blood Dragon and Purple Dazzle Demon Ancestors also had thoughts of retreating.
Although they would act for the demon race, it didn't mean they would die for the demon race.
After all, even if the demon race were exterminated, as long as they hid in the wilderness of the Earthly Immortal World, they might still have a day to ascend!
"Don't you dare flee!"
The Mahayana cultivator surnamed Bu drew the long sword from his back. A silver light flashed on the Semi-Immortal Artifact-grade magic sword, and instantly, magic swords filled the void.
An inexplicable Dao charm was stirred, and the entire world became steeped in killing intent.
"Old Ghost Bu, do you want to fight to the death?"
The Blood Dragon Demon Ancestor roared, blood light flickering around its body. Countless human and demon cultivators shrieked, blood flowing profusely from their bodies.
The Mahayana cultivator surnamed Bu clearly hesitated a little.
The human Mahayana cultivators had gathered only to force the demon race and reduce their active strength as much as possible.
If they were to engage in full-scale conflict, or even massively slaughter each other's lower-level cultivators, it would definitely be a net loss, a lose-lose situation.
"Why are you still standing there?"
Just then, Old Ghost Meng roared, and two chaotic, primordial-colored demonic thunderballs appeared in his hands.
The thunder rumbled!
The two chaotic demonic thunderballs landed on Demon Heaven City's grand array, and its countless restriction formations instantly dissolved. . .
The Twelve Netherworld World-Ending Demonic Array was completely breached!
