Chapter 100 The Naked Witch
Suddenly, a terrifying gust of cold wind swept through, extinguishing all the eternal lamps in the Demon-Subduing Hall. Sand and stones flew everywhere, as if a desert storm had struck.
"Master, all the ancestral tablets..."
Amidst the boy's exclamation, Zhang Tianshi looked at the altar and his expression changed drastically. All the tablets of the past Tianshi seemed to have been set ablaze, burning simultaneously. After a puff of smoke, all the tablets of the past Tianshi had turned to ashes.
"Within the anomaly of the ancestral tablets, there must be a demon that our Tianshi sect cannot resist, coming to overthrow our Tianshi lineage. This is an unprecedented calamity that our Tianshi sect has experienced since our founding ancestor. I fear our Tianshi sect will not be able to survive."
An elder sighed.
"Junior Brother Qiu."
Zhang Tianshi was silent for a moment, then called out with a long sigh.
"Sect Leader Senior Brother."
Qiu Tianshi immediately stepped forward. This middle-aged Tianshi appeared to be the youngest among the elders of the Tianshi sect.
"This is the Dragon-Tiger Manual, a secret text passed down through our sect. I entrust it to Junior Brother Qiu. Although you are young, you are cautious. I entrust you with the important task of preserving the Longhu Mountain lineage. I hope you will lead all the next generation of disciples down the mountain to seek temporary refuge."
Zhang Tianshi took out an ancient book from his robes and handed it to Qiu Tianshi.
"Senior Brother...you..."
Qiu Tianshi looked at Zhang Tianshi with doubt.
"When Master passed on the Longhu Mountain lineage to me, I could not allow evil spirits to invade. You must quickly lead the younger generation of disciples down the mountain. I and the other elders will fight against the demons and swear to protect Longhu Mountain."
Zhang Tianshi looked at the four large characters "Slay Demons and Subdue Evil" at the top of the hall and said firmly.
"Uphold righteousness and ward off evil, slay demons and subdue evil."
The elders of Longhu Mountain recalled the vows they made when they joined the Celestial Masters Sect.
"The demon will return in a moment, Junior Brother. Our lives are of little importance; the continuation of our lineage is paramount. I urge you to ensure the safety of our descendants, for they are the hope for the future of Longhu Mountain,"
Zhang Tianshi said, bowing to Qiu Tianshi.
"Rest assured, Senior Brother, I will not fail your trust,"
Qiu Tianshi replied, bowing to Zhang Tianshi before hurriedly leaving with his junior disciples.
"Fellow disciples, today Longhu Mountain faces a critical juncture. As the sect leader, I grant you permission to summon the powerful demon-subduing artifacts of our ancestors to fight against the demon,"
Zhang Tianshi said, looking at the altar. On this altar were enshrined the demon-subduing treasures of past Celestial Masters, including the Celestial Master's Demon-Subduing Seal. These treasures were usually kept in the hall to receive offerings, only to be used against particularly difficult demons.
Zhang Tianshi slowly removed the Celestial Master's Demon-Subduing Seal, the first Celestial Master's treasure used to suppress demons, truly the most important artifact of the Celestial Masters' sect.
"Hahaha..."
A series of ghostly wails of laughter suddenly rang out, and a massive black cloud abruptly surged from the west, approaching the Celestial Master Palace on Longhu Mountain.
"You audacious demon, how dare you invade my Celestial Master Palace!"
The Celestial Masters, already hovering atop the palace, roared in unison.
"Hahaha, what kind of bullshit Celestial Masters' Way is this? Today, the Demon Ancestor Qi Qiong has arrived at Longhu Mountain! The Celestial Masters' Way must immediately submit to our Demonic Sect, or we will annihilate your Celestial Masters' Way and slaughter all the scoundrels!"
Dozens of hairy figures, clad only in animal hides and wielding magical artifacts crafted from human bones, emerged from the black cloud, riding a swirling black wind.
"Demon Ancestor Qi Qiong..."
The Celestial Masters of the Celestial Masters' Way gasped in shock. Eight thousand years ago, Demon Ancestor Qi Qiong was a peerless demon lord, feared throughout the world, slain by the Yellow Emperor wielding the Xuanyuan Sword. How could this peerless demon god, who should have been dead for eight thousand years, reappear in this world? If it truly is the Demon Ancestor Qi Qiong, then it's not hard to explain why the Celestial Masters Sect has shown so many signs of extermination. The Demon Ancestor Qi Qiong is simply a super being that modern humans cannot contend with.
"You savages of the Primordial Demonic Sect, you must have gained quite a bit of benefits, right?"
Zhang Tianshi coldly looked at the demons before him who seemed to still be living in the primordial era, and let out a cold snort. This Primordial Demonic Sect worships the instinct for blood and flesh, using human bodies to cultivate magic; they are truly vicious and cruel. Each of these demons, to cultivate to such a level, must have killed countless people to cultivate such terrifying demonic power.
"Haha, don't worry, you damned old bastards, we really wish you wouldn't agree, so we could collect your flesh and blood to refine magical treasures, and let your souls suffer forever in the flames of the Demon Realm."
The demons of the Primordial Demonic Sect laughed loudly.
"Their bodies belong to you, but their souls belong to us. Souls cultivated for many years can be used to cultivate magic; they are truly top-quality materials."
A cold voice rang out, and a group of demons draped in black robes, refusing to reveal their true faces, floated out from the black clouds as if they were weightless.
"The Netherworld Demonic Sect, as expected of the Demon Ancestor Qiong, has actually gathered demons from the two great demonic sects of the world. Hmph, since both of your great demonic sects have shown themselves, the Naked Demonic Sect must have arrived as well."
Zhang Tianshi said coldly.
"Hehe, it's rare that Zhang Tianshi still remembers my Naked Demonic Sect. Since fellow Daoists from the Primordial World and the Netherworld have come at the command of the Demon Ancestor, my Naked Sect naturally wants to join in the fun."
A tall, sexy woman, completely naked, with snow-white skin that emanated a grayish-white aura, held nine small gray flags in her hands and led a group of naked male and female demons to appear.
"The Naked Demoness Tie Ji."
Upon seeing this woman, Zhang Tianshi immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He had initially thought only experts from the Primordial and Netherworld Demonic Sects had appeared, but he hadn't expected Tie Ji, the leader of the Naked Demonic Sect, to actually show herself. The three leaders of the Demonic Sect all possessed astonishing magic. Although the Naked Demoness Tie Ji appeared young, she had already been famous for over two hundred years, possessing formidable strength and having slaughtered countless righteous warriors. The previous Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain had fought a great battle against the Naked Demonic Sect, only managing to defeat Tie Ji thanks to the Celestial Master's Demon-Subduing Seal. In that battle, the previous Celestial Master was also severely injured and passed away ten years later. After decades of hiding, Tie Ji's magical power had undoubtedly increased significantly, making her likely unstoppable now.
"It's rare that anyone in the Celestial Masters Sect still remembers their leader. Where is your Celestial Master Demon-Subduing Seal? Bring it out, let me see if, after all these years, your Celestial Master Demon-Subduing Seal can still break my Nine-Soul-Severing Banner."
Tie Ji casually waved her hand, and the nine small gray-white flags in her hand immediately grew in the wind, transforming in no time into nine enormous demonic banners hundreds of meters high. Each banner was embroidered with an incomparably beautiful naked woman in blood-red silk thread. As soon as the nine giant banners appeared, they immediately covered the entire area of the Celestial Masters Palace, and the gray-white aura seemed to be omnipresent.
"Celestial Master Demon-Subduing!"
Facing the Nine-Soul-Severing Banner, which was known as the number one secret treasure of the Naked Body Sect, Zhang Tianshi dared not be careless. With an angry shout, the Celestial Master Demon-Subduing Seal he held in his hands soared into the air, releasing a ball of golden light to protect all the Celestial Masters of the Celestial Masters Sect.
"Demons, cease your arrogance! Behold my Nine-Rank Demon-Suppressing Pagoda!"
Behind Zhang Tianshi, the various Celestial Masters joined forces to lift a nine-story pagoda crafted entirely of pure gold. This was the Nine-Rank Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, the most powerful demon-suppressing treasure of the Celestial Masters sect besides the Celestial Master's Demon-Subduing Seal. Each of the nine stories was inscribed with thousands of talismans, each possessing its own wondrous function. As the Celestial Masters poured their magical power into the Nine-Rank Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, the golden pagoda shone brightly. Countless bolts of lightning shot out from within the pagoda. Iron Maiden's nine demon banners simultaneously flashed with black light, intertwining with the lightning of the golden pagoda, as if engaged in a life-or-death battle.
"Even a grain of rice can shine brightly."
Without a month of Mahayana magic training under the Demon Ancestor, Tie Ji might not have been able to withstand this peerless demon-suppressing artifact, said to be able to suppress even the Heavenly Demons. But now, having mastered the Naked Demon Scripture, her magic surpassed the Celestial Masters' expectations, and the Nine-Soul-Severing Banners could unleash their full power. Seeing the Golden Pagoda unleash its power, Tie Ji sneered, and the nine demon banners shook simultaneously. A dense cloud of grayish-white mist suddenly appeared at the center of the banners.
"Not good! Quickly, retrieve the magic weapon!"
Zhang Tianshi exclaimed.
"Too late."
Tie Ji sneered, and the grayish-white mist instantly transformed into a gigantic demon god, over ten zhang tall, completely naked. Its enormous claws slammed down, and the Golden Pagoda, imbued with the Celestial Masters' magic power, was slammed down like a ball by this demon god. The immense force immediately caused the Celestial Masters to lose control of the Ninth-Rank Demon-Suppressing Pagoda.
Chapter 100: The
Nine-Rank Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, forged by the Demonic Fire, was specially crafted by the third-generation Celestial Master to suppress the myriad ferocious demons of the Northern Underworld. The pagoda has nine stories, stands thirteen meters tall, and is made of gold with jade pillars, costing over 3,600 jin of gold and 360 pieces of top-grade jade. It represents the culmination of nine years of painstaking work by three thousand disciples of the Celestial Masters sect, with 360 talismans on each level, 36 divine bodies, and twelve luminous pearls. On the day the pagoda was completed, the myriad ferocious demons of the Northern Underworld were suppressed. After two thousand years of wind and rain, and the blessing of hundreds of Celestial Masters, it became a truly invaluable treasure.
Unfortunately, this invaluable treasure was ruined.
The Nine-Rank Demon-Suppressing Pagoda was repeatedly and violently struck by the demon god. All the Celestial Masters controlling the pagoda suffered a backlash from the demon god's powerful magic, each vomiting blood and suffering severe damage to their vital energy.
"Haha, in the Three Realms, only demons reign supreme! You clowns, why don't you obediently join my Demonic Sect, lest I annihilate your lineage and condemn you to eternal suffering!"
Tie Ji laughed loudly. A month of cultivation in the Demon Palace had increased her magical power by more than tenfold. Since comprehending the Naked Demon Scripture, she had acquired nine-tenths of the magical power of the first leader of the Naked Sect, Jiupanpo. Using the power of ancient demon gods to deal with these contemporary Celestial Masters was naturally a piece of cake.
"Shut up, you fiends! My Celestial Master sect has been suppressing evil on behalf of Heaven for thousands of years. Hundreds of ancestral masters possessed great magical power. Today, although you demons can break my Dragon Tiger, you cannot destroy my Celestial Master lineage. As long as there are still Celestial Master disciples, one day, we will kill all of you demons!"
Zhang Tianshi, seeing all his fellow disciples severely injured and his precious Ninth-Rank Demon-Suppressing Pagoda taken away by the ancient demons driven by Tie Ji, immediately cursed loudly.
"You're courting death!"
A fierce glint flashed in Tie Ji's eyes. The colossal ancient demon god roared deafeningly, its massive demonic claws ignoring the golden light emanating from the Heavenly Master's Demon-Subduing Seal and lunging directly at Zhang Tianshi and the others.
"Demons, prepare to die! Heavenly Master, Subduing Demons!"
Zhang Tianshi's hands formed a magic seal, and the Heavenly Master's Demon-Subduing Seal, the supreme treasure of the Heavenly Master sect, suddenly reversed, unleashing a massive demon-subduing spell with a range of dozens of feet, striking the demon god.
"Roar..."
The ancient demon god roared terrifyingly, its claws slamming down wildly. A tremendous impact resounded as its hands collided with the demon-subduing spell, scattering countless golden rays. The demon-subduing spell, said to suppress all evil spirits in heaven and earth, was shattered by the ancient demon god.
"I've destroyed your broken seal, let's see what you old ghosts can do now."
The demon god shattered the Celestial Master's Demon-Subduing Incantation. Tie Ji snorted coldly, and the demon god, controlled by Tie Ji, continued forward. With a grab, it seized the Celestial Master's Demon-Subduing Seal hanging high in the air. With Tie Ji's angry shout, the demon god roared back, its iron claws pressing down hard. The golden light of the Celestial Master's Demon-Subduing Seal, which was ten feet in diameter, was immediately compressed to only about two feet. However, this two-foot-wide golden light seemed to be substantial, and no matter how hard the demon god tried, it could not be compressed any further.
"This seal is a bit strange. You can't destroy it, so give it to me."
A piercing and unpleasant voice rang out, and a black three-headed monster bird, taller than a person, suddenly flew out from the extremely dense black cloud in the sky and landed directly on Tie Ji's huge demon banner.
"By imperial decree."
The three-headed monster was an ancient demon beast. Although it had not yet attained human form, it possessed terrifying magical power comparable to that of an ancient demon god. Having followed the Demon Ancestor Qi Qiong for thousands of years, it could be considered an elder of the demonic sect elders like Tie Ji in terms of seniority. Faced with such a monster, Tie Ji could only submit.
The monster let out a strange cry and extended a pair of jet-black iron claws to grab the Celestial Master's Demon-Subduing Seal. The ancient demon god released his hands, and the Celestial Master's Demon-Subduing Seal, which had returned to a size of about ten feet in diameter, was covered by the boundless black weapon that the monster's claws had rolled up. The monster flew back into the thick black mist with this golden light.
"Demon, return my magic weapon!"
The Celestial Master's Demon-Subduing Seal was the treasure of Longhu Mountain. How could it be lost? Zhang Tianshi roared angrily, and countless talismans flew through the air, transforming into countless bolts of lightning and flames that shot directly in the direction the monster had fled.
"Longhu Mountain is exterminated from this day forward."
Tie Ji sneered, and the nine demon banners simultaneously spewed out a sky full of gray gas. All the lightning and flames conjured by the talismans were engulfed by the gray gas. Then, the gray gas passed through the protective divine light of Zhang Tianshi and the others, and the essence, blood, and flesh of these celestial masters, which they had painstakingly cultivated for many years, were instantly refined, leaving only more than a dozen skeletons falling from the sky.
"Haha, these bones contain the golden body energy that these old men have cultivated for hundreds of years. We can't waste it."
The followers of the Primordial Demonic Sect rushed to snatch back the skeletons.
"The primordial spirits are of course ours. Haha, these primordial spirits that have cultivated for many years are definitely rare materials."
Outside the nine demon banners, a large gray-white net suddenly appeared. As the net closed, the primordial spirits of Zhang Tianshi and the others, who had used the Corpse Dissolution Technique to become invisible and fly away, all appeared in the net.
"You self-proclaimed righteous bastards, how many of our comrades have you killed? Today, the souls of you old geezers have finally fallen into the hands of our Xuan Yin Sect! Haha, let you old geezers taste what it means to be tempered by demonic fire! Haha, once we catch your little brats, we'll send them to see you..."
The demons of the three major demonic sects laughed loudly. Which of the three sects hadn't lost a member of the Longhu Mountain sect? In the thousand-year-long struggle with the Celestial Masters Sect, the three major demonic sects had always been suppressed by the Celestial Masters Sect with its supreme magical treasures. Now, being able to annihilate the Celestial Masters Sect, they were naturally very happy.
"Fellow Daoists of both sects, please step back. Let this sect leader devise a plan to wipe them out,"
Tie Ji said with a ferocious expression.
"We will watch from here as the Naked Sect Leader displays his immense power."
All the demons withdrew from the range of the nine demonic banners' power.
"I will use demonic fire to refine the mountain, shattering the millennia-old spiritual energy of Dragon Tiger Mountain. Only then can I quell the hatred in my heart."
Tie Ji sneered, pointing her Demonic Finger. The gray-white mist spewed from the nine demonic banners instantly transformed into gray-white flames that fell to the ground. These flames seemed specifically designed to ignite the dense spiritual energy that had accumulated on Dragon Tiger Mountain for thousands of years. Instantly, the denser the spiritual energy on Dragon Tiger Mountain, the larger the gray flames burned. The flames in the Demon Subduing Hall almost pierced through the nine heavens. Countless fierce souls, demons, and blood monsters that had been suppressed on the mountain by the dense spiritual energy broke free after the gray-white flames burned away the spiritual energy. In less than half an hour, the entire Dragon Tiger Mountain became a living hell...
Thick black fog filled the sky, gathering into an enormous black cloud. The outermost layer of this cloud was filled with countless ghosts, demons, strange birds, and bats. These demons fiercely guarded the colossal Demon Palace located within the cloud. The Demon Palace was built on a massive island suspended in mid-air, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, inhabited by countless ancient beasts and primordial demons. At the very center of the island, the Qiqiong Demon Palace, which should have been lurking beneath the Shennongjia earth, was now surrounded by dozens of burning, gigantic stone pillars, all ablaze with black flames. Within the Demon Palace, the Qiqiong Ancestor sat high on the throne, while the three-headed monstrous bird, clutching the Heavenly Master's Demon-Subduing Seal, a treasure of the Heavenly Master Sect, perched at its feet. About ten meters away from Qi Qiong, a tall, savage man with a full head of red hair, long red fur all over his body, a tiger-skin skirt around his waist, and a huge skull hammer in his hand, and a tall, thin man with a grayish-white aura surrounding him, wearing a black robe, and a skull model that looked like a crystal carving around his neck, stood on either side of Qi Qiong.
"Master, can you help me get rid of this broken seal? This thing is very difficult to catch."
The three heads of the three-headed bird pleaded with Qi Qiong in unison.
"Release it."
Qi Qiong's gaze remained fixed on a huge, blood-red bronze mirror at the top of the palace, which was currently displaying the scene of Tie Ji refining Dragon Tiger Mountain with demonic fire.
"Thank you, Master."
The three-headed bird cheered happily and immediately released the Heavenly Master Subduing Demon Seal that it had been suppressing with its own demonic power. As soon as it was freed from the bird's suppression, the Heavenly Master Subduing Demon Seal immediately took to the air, spun around, and attempted to escape from the Demon Palace.
"Come back."
Qi Qiong's gaze remained fixed on the bronze mirror. The magic weapon that subdued the demons, the Celestial Master's Demon-Subduing Seal, immediately submitted to Qi Qiong like an obedient child with a casual gesture.
"This is made from ancient divine willow wood struck by lightning a hundred thousand years ago. I'll reforge it for you."
Qi Qiong's gaze never left the bronze mirror, but his hands moved swiftly. With a rub, the Celestial Master's Demon-Subduing Seal immediately lost its golden light, turning into thirteen identical black beads, emitting a thick black mist.
Chapter 101 Siege of Maoshan
"Here you go."
Qi Qiong casually tossed the thirteen identical black beads to the three-headed monster bird, which immediately swallowed them all at once with delight.
"Demon Ancestor, the Celestial Masters Sect has been destroyed, but we only killed the elders and leaders of the Celestial Masters Sect. We didn't find a single one of the other disciples..."
A man with a gray aura, wearing a black robe and a crystal skull around his neck, said in a gloomy voice.
"It's alright... The little guys released here should keep them busy enough. Let's go to Maoshan."
Qi Qiong looked at the huge blood-red bronze mirror and saw that Tie Ji had already retrieved her demon banner and led the disciples of the three sects back to the Black Cloud.
"Yes..."
All the demonic disciples cheered in unison.
The huge Black Cloud changed its direction and began to slowly move towards Maoshan, another holy land of Taoism.
If the Celestial Masters Sect were cultivators who took it upon themselves to subdue demons and monsters, then Maoshan was a group of ordinary people who had mastered special techniques. Maoshan did not have professional cultivation methods and could not recruit believers as widely as other Taoist sects.
Most members of Maoshan are ordinary, unassuming people scattered throughout the world in areas with Chinese communities. They work as fortune tellers, perform burials, or have their own professions. All their magical abilities are passed down from master to disciple, helping ordinary people exorcise evil and avert disasters.
Compared to the elders and masters of other Taoist sects, who often live for hundreds of years, Maoshan disciples have the lifespan of ordinary people. Even the elders only reach sixty or seventy years old. However, Maoshan's position as one of the four great Taoist sects is no accident.
"Good and evil are opposed, a lifelong struggle."
This is Maoshan's first precept. Every disciple who joins Maoshan upholds this creed. On the vast earth, these ordinary disciples use their magical powers to subdue ghosts and monsters.
Ordinary people don't possess the terrifying magical power of Taoist cultivators; they can't kill from afar with flying swords or unleash powerful magical weapons to kill enemies. Naturally, the magical techniques ordinary people can use are far more sophisticated. The magical artifacts used by the Maoshan sect are mostly common items from everyday life. They use willow leaves to rub their eyes to perceive yin and yang, willow branches to ward off ghosts, peach wood to exorcise evil spirits, and cinnabar to draw talismans and inkstones to suppress corpses. However, when facing powerful demons, ordinary items become ineffective, and these Maoshan disciples will use the power of legendary deities. This is the ultimate power that allows the Maoshan sect to contend with other major cultivation sects.
The four great generals of Maoshan are the battle gods who protect the ultimate holy land of the Maoshan sect. These generals, along with their divine weapons
, have made a pact with Maoshan, using their divine power to protect Maoshan. When the dark clouds of the Qiqiong Demon Palace arrived at Maoshan, unlike the deserted Longhu Mountain, thousands of people had gathered on Maoshan. Most of these Maoshan disciples had received the summons from Maoshan and hurriedly arrived with their tools. Through the efforts of these Maoshan disciples, the entire peak of Maoshan was completely covered with talismans, and the entire peak radiated immense power. This power transformed into a huge protective barrier, protecting Maoshan.
"Good and evil are locked in a lifelong struggle."
Summoned by the first commandment of Maoshan, these Maoshan disciples showed no concern for facing ancient demons and the founders of the demonic path. Even as the black clouds representing death and destruction reached the summit of Maoshan, they merely glanced at the dark clouds before continuing to draw talismans with their cinnabar brushes, as if their entire lives had merged into them.
"Maoshan disciples, your end has come! Surrender now!"
A man emanating a faint gray aura, dressed in a black robe with a crystal skull hanging on his chest, floated in the void like a ghost, his slightly blue eyes fixed on the Maoshan disciples below who were still diligently drawing talismans.
"Good and evil are locked in a lifelong struggle. Under the Maoshan sect, there are only heroes who die in battle, not traitors who surrender."
An elderly man with gray hair and a sharp suit coldly looked at the man floating in the sky and spoke calmly.
"Good and evil are opposed, a lifelong struggle!"
All the Maoshan disciples roared out the first oath they had taken upon joining the Maoshan sect.
"You ignorant fools!"
The black-clad man's eyes blazed with murderous intent.
"Azure-Eyed Lord, your Netherworld Demonic Sect hastily imprisoned souls to cultivate demonic arts, already violating the laws of nature. Now you've even colluded with the old demon Qiqiong to invade my Maoshan. Be careful, the cycle of karma will bring retribution, and one day your entire sect will suffer the torment of soul refining."
The Maoshan sect leader coldly advised the black-clad man.
"Bold Maoshan demons! Today, the venerable Qiqiong Ancestor has graced us with his presence, yet you still dare to utter such arrogant words! I'll show you the power of this divine lord!"
The Netherworld Sect Leader, Azure-Eyed Lord, roared angrily. The Netherworld Sect Leader, Azure-Eyed Lord, was several hundred years older than the Naked Sect Leader, Iron Maiden. He was a person from the late Song Dynasty, and even Iron Maiden had to address him as a senior. Faced with such a rebuke from the Maoshan Sect Master, who was only a few decades old, the Azure-Eyed Divine Lord was naturally enraged. Dozens of black-clad demons appeared behind him, already prepared for battle. Countless fierce spirits and vengeful souls gathered around their bodies, and in no time, countless ghosts blotted out the sky, swirling and dancing in the air.
"You have created these vengeful ghosts, harming countless lives. They cannot be allowed to live! Maoshan disciples, all of you, attack! Subdue the demons and slay the monsters!"
At the Maoshan Sect Master's command, all the Maoshan disciples sprang into action.
Faced with countless ghosts, the Maoshan disciples each had their own methods. Most of them threw out talismans, and in an instant, countless talismans transformed into fireballs that pelted the ghosts.
"Haha, protected by the Qiqiong Ancestor, what effect do your ghostly talismans have?"
The Azure-Eyed Lord laughed wildly. The cinnabar talismans these Maoshan disciples used to deal with ghosts were clearly useless; the ghosts continued their fierce charge.
Soon, the ghosts crashed into the protective talisman layer covering Maoshan, where the energy of countless talismans gathered together, stubbornly blocking the ghosts.
"Shoot them with coin swords!"
Someone shouted, and instantly thousands of coin swords made of ancient coins shot into the sky, piercing through the golden light and inflicting considerable damage on the ghosts in front.
"Kill them! I've gathered a million ghost soldiers; I don't believe I can't destroy Maoshan!"
The Azure-Eyed Lord sneered, and more and more ghosts filled the sky. Those wounded by the coin swords seemed oblivious, continuing to charge against the talisman circle.
"Please help, Ancestor!"
With their usual methods of dealing with ghosts proving ineffective, many Maoshan disciples formed hand seals, stomped their left feet on the ground, and chanted incantations incessantly.
"Kill..."
A deafening roar suddenly rang out. Those disciples who had borrowed the power of Maoshan all grabbed their weapons, leaped into the air, and charged towards the Maoshan disciples as if their power had increased a hundredfold.
"Kill all these Maoshan demons!"
The Azure-Eyed Lord sneered, issuing the order. His demonic followers chanted incantations, instantly increasing the power of the ghosts, who began to charge at the Maoshan disciples. These magically enhanced ghosts were clearly stronger than ordinary Maoshan disciples. Within minutes, many Maoshan disciples were pierced through by these ghosts, their souls injured, and their bodies falling to the ground.
"Qi Qiong's magic is too strong. If this continues, these disciples will suffer heavy casualties. Let the Maoshan generals be dispatched,"
an old man in a gray Taoist robe said to the Maoshan sect leader.
"Xiao You,"
the Maoshan sect leader gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Present!"
A voluptuous woman in white appeared before the Maoshan sect leader.
"Summon the Four Great Generals immediately!"
the Maoshan sect leader shouted.
"By the decree of the Three Mao Gods of Maoshan, the Four Guardian Generals shall appear immediately!"
The beautiful woman made a hand seal and shouted.
"Understood!"
Four powerful golden lights suddenly rose from the four corners of Maoshan. The night sky, which had been covered by dark clouds, suddenly shone with stars, and the Twenty-Eight Mansions of the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger suddenly appeared in the sky. Then, four incomparably handsome young generals, wearing four suits of armor made of gold, silver, bronze, and iron, and holding silver spears, appeared in the sky at the same time. Four powerful responses were heard, and four silver spears flashed simultaneously. Instantly, four souls were pierced through the heart by the spears and then disappeared into the air.
"The Four Guardian Generals of Maoshan..."
Having fought with Maoshan for a hundred years, the Azure-Eyed God-King naturally knew the four guardian generals of Maoshan. Seeing these four generals appear together, the Azure-Eyed God-King showed no surprise. Instead, a cruel smile appeared on his lips.
Chapter 101 Gao Chong, Commander of the Yue Family Army:
"Those who offend Maoshan shall die!"
The four divine generals, like demons stirring up the sea, unleashed their power. With their attack, nearly ten thousand divine soldiers surged from the void—the ultimate force guarding Maoshan: the Maoshan Divine Soldiers.
The divine generals and soldiers clearly had a master-servant relationship, each soldier chasing after their respective general. The number of soldiers behind each general varied, but one general, clad in iron armor, rode alone, wielding a long spear with unadorned thrusts. With each thrust, a ghost was pierced and vanished into the wind. His black iron armor was simple and unadorned, yet exuded a chilling ruthlessness, making him particularly strange compared to the other generals with thousands of soldiers behind them.
"The Maoshan generals are all reincarnations of incredibly powerful battle spirits. If these battle spirits hadn't been unlucky and hadn't achieved great things in life, they would probably have become celestial gods long ago after death. How could Maoshan have used secret techniques to transform them into divine bodies?"
The Azure-Eyed God-King coldly said, looking at the four Maoshan generals who were invincible among the ghosts.
"Azure-Eyed God-King, since you know how powerful my Maoshan guardian generals are, why don't you retreat quickly..."
the Maoshan sect leader said coldly.
"Hehe, I wonder who is stronger in a battle between the Maoshan generals..."
the Azure-Eyed God-King laughed wildly.
"Why aren't you making your move? When are you going to do it?"
the Azure-Eyed God-King suddenly shouted.
"Kill..."
The Golden-Armored God-King and the Bronze-Armored God-King suddenly let out a deafening roar, turned around abruptly, and directly entered the Maoshan talisman circle. Their two long spears were pointed directly at the beautiful woman who was controlling the Maoshan generals and the Maoshan sect leader, while their divine weapons also turned their spears to stab at the Maoshan disciples.
"How dare you..."
The Maoshan Sect Master never expected that at this crucial moment, one of the Maoshan generals would betray him. With a roar, the talismans on his body were activated simultaneously. He then pulled the beautiful woman standing in front of him back sharply, and his own body rushed forward. Instantly, the two silver spears wielded by the two generals in golden and bronze armor pierced through the Maoshan Sect Master's body, and blood splattered everywhere.
"Grandpa..."
The Maoshan generals were all peerless warriors who were invincible on the battlefield in their youth. The power of their two spears was astonishing; after piercing through the Maoshan Sect Master's body, they also pierced into the beautiful woman's body.
"Liu Hua, Zhang Xian, you two bastards!"
Stunned by the sudden betrayal, the Silver General Sun Hai saw the Maoshan Sect Master and the beautiful woman fall to the ground simultaneously. He suddenly roared, and the curved silver spear in his hand, completely different from the others, suddenly emitted thousands of golden points of light, directly rushing towards the two Maoshan traitors.
"Sun Hai, others may fear you, but I don't."
Golden General Liu Hua sneered, fearlessly turning to meet Sun Hai with his spear. The two generals, one silver and one gold, clashed in mid-air, their soldiers also embroiled in battle.
"Get lost!"
Just as Bronze General Zhang Xian was about to deliver another blow to the fallen Maoshan Sect Master, a young general in black iron armor roared like thunder. His spear seemed to transcend time and space, blocking Zhang Xian's attack. The sound of metal clashing rang out, and Bronze General Zhang Xian, horse and all, was sent flying by the black iron general's spear.
"Liu Hua, Zhang Xian, Maoshan has treated you well, yet you betrayed us..."
Betrayal by Maoshan generals was unprecedented. The heavily wounded Maoshan Sect Master, supporting himself with his peach wood sword, struggled to his feet and cried out in anguish.
"As generals of the Overlord, we naturally obey his commands. Today, the Overlord commands us two to take your life!"
The Golden General and the Bronze General, now joined together, roared simultaneously.
"Overlord? Xiang Yu has been dead for two thousand years. What kind of Overlord of Western Chu is this?"
the Maoshan clan member retorted angrily.
"Haha, you can recruit two of the Overlord's generals as your guardian generals, so why can't I recruit Xiang Yu as the guardian demon of my Netherworld Demon Sect?"
The Netherworld Sect Master, the Azure-Eyed God, laughed wildly. Suddenly, a headless shadow appeared behind him, riding a jet-black warhorse, wielding a black gold spear, wearing golden armor, and with a bowl-sized black hole in his neck.
"Give me back my head..."
A boundless roar, seemingly from the depths of the earth, surged with endless resentment. As the headless general appeared, the Golden and Bronze Generals, who had betrayed Maoshan, knelt down in salute.
"Overlord... Overlord..."
All the divine soldiers following the Golden Bronze Divine General cheered simultaneously.
"Overlord... Overlord..."
Amidst the cheers, thousands of black-horse knights suddenly emerged from behind the headless general Xiang Yu. As soon as these knights appeared, they burst into a unified and powerful cheer, raising their weapons in salute to their great king before them.
"Destroy Maoshan!"
The crystal skull on the chest of the Azure-Eyed Divine Lord suddenly lit up.
"Kill..."
The headless general Xiang Yu took the lead, wielding his black gold spear and charging towards Maoshan. The Maoshan traitors and the eight thousand Jiangdong disciples behind Xiang Yu attacked together, and the strong protective talisman surrounding Maoshan burst forth with dazzling golden light under these frenzied attacks.
"Sun Hai, Gao Chong, immediately protect the young lady and leave. My old bones will be buried here today."
The Maoshan sect leader instructed the two divine generals who were channeling their divine power into the Maoshan sect leader and the beautiful woman to suppress their injuries.
"Can you withstand the attack of Xiang Yu and the two great generals?"
Black Iron General Gao Chong coldly retorted.
"..."
The Maoshan Sect Master naturally knew that his strength was no match for the magic power of the generals, not to mention the invincible overlord Xiang Yu from two thousand years ago...
"Sun Hai, the sect master and young lady are in your hands. Take them away."
Black Iron General Gao Chong raised his silver spear and mounted his warhorse.
"Gao Chong... you take the young lady and the sect master away, I'll hold them off..."
Seeing Gao Chong's posture, Sun Hai immediately knew that Gao Chong was prepared to hold off two traitorous generals and the world-renowned overlord Xiang Yu of Western Chu single-handedly. Gao Chong was the only one of the four great generals of Maoshan without a divine weapon. Facing so many enemies, Sun Hai was really worried about whether Gao Chong could withstand so many enemy troops.
"Enough nonsense, hurry up and leave, or I'll kill you first."
Gao Chong's silver spear pointed directly at Sun Hai.
"General Gao, take care."
Sun Hai, seeing the resolute look in Gao Chong's eyes, gritted his teeth, reached out and helped the beautiful woman onto his horse. Behind him, divine soldiers naturally carried the Maoshan Sect Master.
"Let's go."
Sun Hai, with his divine soldiers, transformed into a whirlwind and disappeared before Gao Chong's eyes.
"With lofty ambitions, I'll feast on the flesh of the barbarians; laughing, I'll drink the blood of the Huns. I'll start anew, reclaim our lost lands, and face the imperial court."
Gao Chong, spear in hand, calmly closed his eyes, softly humming a familiar melody. It seemed he had returned to eight hundred years ago, to the epic battle to defend his homeland; it seemed he had returned to the familiar military camp, to see his most respected marshal, standing tall and commanding, his heroic figure commanding armies with ease.
"Boom..."
A deafening roar erupted. The Maoshan talisman circle could no longer withstand such immense power. The entire talisman circle turned to ashes. On Maoshan, besides the Black Iron Divine General Gao Chong, there was no one else.
"Kill..."
Countless ghosts and divine soldiers rushed towards Gao Chong.
"Gao Chong, Commander-in-Chief of the Yue Family Army, is here! Those who stand in my way shall die!"
With the final word "die," Gao Chong instantly merged with his horse, charging towards the swarming divine soldiers and generals. His silver spear seemed to transform into a massive bolt of lightning, piercing the hearts of hundreds of ghosts and divine soldiers with a single thrust, vanishing into thin air.
"Truly worthy of being the foremost general of the Yue Family Army, Gao Chong. Even after eight hundred years as the guardian deity of Maoshan, he still retains his former prowess."
The Azure-Eyed Lord watched as Gao Chong displayed his unparalleled spearmanship before the army of ghosts and divine soldiers as if they were nothing, and couldn't help but admire him. Having also been born in the Song Dynasty, the Azure-Eyed Lord naturally knew the terrifying power of the invincible army led by that unparalleled loyal marshal, who had fought for the nation and its people for ten years with unwavering loyalty and courage.
Gao Chong, a super general who seemed to flash like a meteor in Yue Fei's army, single-handedly charged into the camp of 500,000 Jin soldiers, fighting from dawn till dusk, leaving the Jin camp a river of blood and mountains of corpses. The lives of tens of thousands of Jin soldiers and thousands of generals cemented his reputation as a brilliant general, like a meteor.
He even managed to kill twelve heavy chariots, each weighing a thousand pounds, which exhausted the horses. This peerless warrior, in his battle of fame, also met a splendid end, leaving behind a legacy of unparalleled bravery that his comrades in Yue Fei's army admired.
Chapter 102: The Battle Between Gao Chong and Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu.
"Gao Chong..."
A low groan escaped from the headless body of Xiang Yu.
"Gao Chong, don't be so arrogant."
Facing Gao Chong's almost supernatural spear technique, Zhang Xian, the Bronze General, one of the Four Great Generals, charged forward on horseback, his long spear aimed straight for Gao Chong's throat.
"Traitor."
Gao Chong coldly snorted, his silver spear swiftly withdrawing and releasing, his warhorse continuing its relentless advance, dozens more ghosts vanishing beneath the spear.
"I..."
Zhang Xian only managed to utter one word before a deep spear wound appeared between his brows, his entire body then dissipating into thin air. Gao Chong was indeed incredibly powerful. In that instant, Liu Hua, the Golden General who was about to pounce, immediately retreated, not daring to launch a rash attack.
"I am Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu! Gao Chong, to die by the hand of this Hegemon-King is a glorious death!"
With a long, furious roar, all the ghosts and divine soldiers retreated like a tide. The headless general, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, rode his prized horse, Wuzhui, before Gao Chong. His unpleasant voice emanated from his headless body, sounding exceptionally grating.
"Xiang Yu, you headless scoundrel, you monkey in a crown, how dare you show your face and disgrace yourself!"
Facing the once-renowned Hegemon-King of two thousand years ago, Gao Chong coldly roared. This self-proclaimed invincible hero, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, had turned two great generals against him and severely injured the leader of the Maoshan Sect. Naturally, Gao Chong showed him no kindness.
"How dare you!"
The Hegemon-King of Western Chu's voice boomed like thunder. The Hegemon-King of Western Chu had swept across the land, his eight thousand Jiangdong followers conquering half the country, none daring to challenge his might. But under Gao Chong's furious curse, the Hegemon-King's imposing aura returned, his immense power soaring into the sky, pressing down on Gao Chong.
"Headless scoundrel!"
Gao Chong, who had never met his match, roared under the oppressive aura of Xiang Yu, pointing his spear, showing no fear of the Hegemon-King's pressure. In a narrow encounter, the brave prevail; a peerless general would rather die on the spot than retreat a single step.
As Xiang Yu and Gao Chong clashed in aura, all the ghostly soldiers, including the Golden General Liu Hua, retreated. Liu Hua, seeing Gao Chong confront his invincible idol, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, with neither side gaining the upper hand, was immediately filled with jealousy. Both were guardian generals of Maoshan, and Liu Hua was the head of the four great generals. Why did this guy, who had only recently become a general, possess such terrifying power? Even the Bronze General, whose martial arts and divine strength were no less than his own, was instantly killed by Gao Chong's spear. Liu Hua was constantly retreating under Gao Chong's aura.
"Good lad, in the past two thousand years, only you have been able to fight me with your aura!"
The Hegemon-King of Western Chu let out a deafening laugh, roaring as he thrust his spear towards Gao Chong's throat. The once-mighty Hegemon-King Spear had finally reappeared on earth.
"The Hegemon of Western Chu is nothing more than this."
The two spears clashed, and the mounts of the Hegemon of Western Chu and Gao Chong retreated continuously. Their terrifying auras rose again. Gao Chong's face was filled with excitement. He had never met a worthy opponent since his birth. No strong enemy could withstand his deadly spear. He had never met a general who could even exchange blows. He never expected that the Hegemon of Western Chu, who was the bravest in the world, would be born and fight against Gao Chong. The powerful fighting spirit of a warrior within Gao Chong began to reawaken.
"His strength could uproot mountains, his spirit could cover the world..."
A sweet, ethereal song rang out, filled with reverence for heroes and a tender, poignant emotion. Although the woman singing was not revealed, one could tell from her presence that she was an absolutely stunning beauty.
"Yu Ji..."
A groan escaped from the body of Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, as his immense aura slowly dissipated, finally vanishing without a trace. If it weren't for the Hegemon-King's massive figure still looming in the distance, Gao Chong would have almost thought he was dreaming. Facing the strange Hegemon-King of Western Chu, Gao Chong felt an extreme sense of danger creeping into his heart.
"Kill...kill...kill..."
Suddenly, a soaring killing intent erupted, a hundred times stronger than the Hegemon-King's aura before. If the Hegemon-King was a general who had just conquered the world, he had now completely transformed into a demon who slaughtered the world.
"This is Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu..."
Gao Chong's expression changed. At this moment, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu seemed like a demon god standing on a chariot made of countless white bones. The immense killing intent was something that a traditional general like Gao Chong could never possess. Back then, Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, slaughtered Xianyang and burned down the Epang Palace. His hands were stained with the blood of millions, and it was this slaughter that became the secret to his invincible bravery.
"Kill..."
Xiang Yu roared, his Overlord Spear thrusting out once more. Despite facing the invincible pressure of Xiang Yu, Gao Chong showed no fear. A terrifying battle erupted between the two invincible spears.
"These two are quite interesting."
In the Demon Palace, the Demon Ancestor Qi Qiong's lips curled into a faint smile.
One was the Xiang Yu, known for his strength to uproot mountains and rivers, and the other was the number one expert of the Yue Family Army, whose iron cavalry was invincible. The energy unleashed by their battle forced all the ghostly divine weapons to retreat. Every collision of the two spears produced a deafening roar, perfectly demonstrating the power of the long weapon in their hands.
"As expected of the former number one expert of the Yue Family Army, he can actually fight Xiang Yu to a draw."
The Azure-Eyed God's eyes flashed with a ghostly green light, and the crystal skull on his chest began to flicker with strange light.
"Give me a share."
The Azure-Eyed Lord sneered, gripping the crystal skull with both hands. Suddenly, two beams of red light shone from the skull's eyes, striking the Western Chu Overlord and Gao Chong in their battle. Gao Chong's seemingly fluid movements abruptly slowed, and the Western Chu Overlord, whose strength had also surged, deflected his spear. Then, the Western Chu Overlord's iron fist slammed into Gao Chong's chest.
"Bastard..."
The Western Chu Overlord's punch was incredibly powerful; Gao Chong was immediately blasted off his horse. The Azure-Eyed Lord's two beams of red light concentrated on Gao Chong, who felt his divine power bound by a strange aura, making it incredibly difficult to even move a finger.
"Stop..."
Seeing that the Western Chu Overlord's spear was about to pierce Gao Chong's body, the Azure-Eyed Lord gave an order, halting the Western Chu Overlord's attack.
"This Gao Chong is truly a top-tier battle spirit. With a little magical retraining, he can become the number one general of my Netherworld Demon Army."
The Azure-Eyed Lord chuckled strangely. The crystal skull flickered, and the two red lights trapping Gao Chong simultaneously contracted, pulling him back into the crystal skull.
"Drain Maoshan's spiritual energy! Drain Maoshan's spiritual energy! Let's see what Maoshan can do to reforge its divine generals!"
The Azure-Eyed Lord roared with laughter. Led by the Western Chu Overlord, these ghosts and divine soldiers rushed towards Maoshan, absorbing the spiritual energy that greatly replenished the power of ghosts. It was this spiritual energy that enabled Maoshan to forge invincible divine generals.
"Next, it's Kunlun's turn."
Qi Qiong revealed a smug smile, and the black clouds began to move towards Kunlun.
Kunlun, hailed as the foremost sacred mountain under heaven, is the legendary source of all dragon veins and the fundamental birthplace of Taoism. The Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain was originally the cave dwelling of Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the three founders of Taoism. Later, Yuanshi Tianzun led twelve of his true immortals to ascend to heaven, transferring the Kunlun lineage to Jiang Ziya, who helped the Great Zhou Dynasty establish its eight-hundred-year reign. From then on, Kunlun became the center of Taoism.
At this moment, only Danxiazi, the current head of Kunlun Mountain, remains in the most mysterious Jade Void Palace.
The Demon Ancestor Qiqiong, imprisoned for eight thousand years, has re-emerged, his unparalleled demonic power unmatched. Taoism is destined to face calamity. To preserve the Kunlun lineage, Danxiazi has already arranged for all his disciples to hide in the most mysterious and unpredictable Fengshen Platform on Kunlun Mountain.
The Fengshen Platform itself is an ancient altar, its mysteries beyond anyone's comprehension. Kunlun Mountain has only used it once before, when Yuanshi Tianzun was still alive—the legendary Investiture of the Gods, the war that brought about the rise of the Zhou and the fall of the Shang.
At this moment, the entire Jade Void Palace was empty except for Danxiazi. Danxiazi sat quietly on the Jade Void Platform where the Primordial Celestial Venerable once preached, holding the God-Slaying Whip, the sacred weapon of Kunlun Mountain. He seemed completely in deep meditation, unaware of the rolling dark clouds and demonic aura covering the entire Kunlun Mountains.
Chapter 102 First Destroy Kunlun, Then Destroy Shu Mountain
"Old Demon Danxia, come out here!"
A terrifying roar shook the heavens and the earth. A tall man with a full head of red hair and long red fur all over his body, wearing only a tiger-skin skirt around his waist, who looked like a red gorilla, brandished a white bone hammer and led the disciples of the three sects to the top of Kunlun Mountain, roaring angrily.
"Red-Haired Ancestor, how have you been?"
Danxiazi, the Kunlun Sect leader, who was startled by the terrifying roar of the Red-Haired Ancestor, held the God-Slaying Whip and slowly rose on a cloud to face the Red-Haired Ancestor, speaking with a smile.
"Danxia, you old demon, your good days in Kunlun are over. If you know what's good for you, quickly join the ranks of Ancestor Qiqiong. Not only will you save your life, but you can also live a carefree and happy life from now on. Otherwise, I will overthrow the Jade
Void Palace today and destroy your three-thousand-year-old lineage of Kunlun." The red-haired ancestor, the leader of the Primordial Demonic Sect, was in high spirits. For three thousand years, Kunlun Mountain had been dominated by a single sect, especially after the Investiture of the Gods, when it was hailed as the orthodox sect of the Xuanmen. When had anyone ever been able to storm Kunlun Mountain and threaten the Kunlun leader?
"Amitabha, your Primordial Demonic Sect, eating raw meat and drinking blood, what difference is there between you and wild beasts? Such carefree happiness is not suitable for me. Compared to your carefree happiness, I still think human life is more suitable for me."
Danxiazi showed no anger at all.
"Danxia the Old Demon, prepare to die!"
The Red-Haired Ancestor was known for his violent temper, and now that Danxiazi had mocked his life in the sect, he was immediately enraged. He swung his white bone hammer, and a hundred-foot-long demonic fire and boundless demonic light burst forth from it, directly blasting towards the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain.
"Evil heretics, how dare you offend the orthodox Kunlun sect!"
Danxiazi's God-Slaying Whip released ten thousand whip shadows, striking the demonic fire and light with astonishing force. It was indeed worthy of being the treasure of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, a renowned divine artifact of the Investiture of the Gods.
"Even the God-Slaying Whip can't protect you today."
Compared to the God-Slaying Whip that the Primordial Celestial Venerable forged three thousand years ago, the Chaos White Bone Hammer, the sect-protecting demonic treasure of the Primordial Demonic Sect in the hands of the Red-Haired Ancestor, was an unparalleled demonic treasure bestowed upon the Primordial Demonic Sect by the Demon Ancestor Qi Qiong eight thousand years ago. After being reforged by the Demon Ancestor Qi Qiong, it has now fully unleashed its terrifying power from eight thousand years ago. The Red-Haired Ancestor let out a sinister laugh, and the White Bone Hammer shook. Suddenly, an ancient demon god appeared amidst demonic fire and light.
This ancient demon god, devoid of any flesh, consisting only of an armored skeleton, possessed terrifying demonic power. Countless demonic flames spread across his body. As the red-haired patriarch swung his bone hammer, this ancient demon god charged towards Danxiazi, who wielded the God-Slaying Whip, as if desperate. It continuously spewed forth earth, water, fire, and wind, with countless demonic lights pressing down. Under the pressure of this ancient demon god, the Kunlun treasure, the God-Slaying Whip, retreated continuously. Of the ten thousand whip shadows, only a few hundred remained, barely protecting Danxiazi's body.
"Evil demons and heretics! Today, I will risk all my life's power to protect the Dharma and subdue this demon!"
Facing the boundless power of the bone hammer, Danxiazi roared, his fingers forming a blade as he slashed his wrist. Pale golden blood immediately gushed out. As soon as this blood touched the God-Slaying Whip, the divine treasure, the God-Slaying Whip, burst forth with intense golden light, and the ten thousand whip shadows reappeared.
"Kunlun Mountain, today we shall annihilate the sect!"
Seeing Danxiazi begin to fight desperately, the red-haired patriarch let out a strange laugh and suddenly threw out the white bone hammer. The white bone hammer suddenly transformed into a size of tens of feet, stirring up thousands of miles of demonic fire and smashing directly towards Danxiazi. Under the terrifying pressure of the huge white bone hammer, the God-Sealing Treasure, the God-Slaying Whip, emitted a crisp cracking sound. Countless cracks immediately appeared on the wooden whip body, and then it shattered like glass.
"Amitabha!"
Having lost the protection of the God-Slaying Whip, the ancient demon god suddenly rushed in front of Danxiazi. Before Danxiazi could even utter a Daoist invocation, the demon god's demonic fire had already invaded her body. With a terrifying laugh, pale golden blood gushed from Danxiazi's body, instantly draining her three-hundred-year-old cultivation body into a dried corpse…
"Three days ago, Demon Ancestor Qiqiong destroyed Longhu Mountain; two days ago, Demon Ancestor Qiqiong destroyed Maoshan; last night, Demon Ancestor Qiqiong again annihilated Kunlun Mountain. Today, it's my Emei's turn. Of the four great Daoist sects in the world, only my Emei lineage remains. And my Emei sect is now dwindling in number, with only you and me left. Therefore, tonight, I, your master, will sacrifice myself to protect the Dao, and the inheritance of the Emei sect's lineage will fall into your hands." On
the Biyun Cliff of Mount Emei, the ethereal True Man, dressed as an ancient Confucian scholar, spoke to his only disciple, Li Aidan.
“Master…”
Li Aidan looked at his mentor who had raised him for twenty years, his heart filled with sorrow.
“You should hurry down the mountain. I will naturally bear this great calamity for the Daoist sect.”
Piaomiao Zhenren said kindly.
“Master, I will not leave. I swear to live and die with Mount Shu.”
How could Li Aidan abandon his master and flee alone at this moment?
“Foolish child, if we both perish here, what will become of the thousand-year-old lineage of Emei? Go down the mountain quickly.”
Piaomiao Zhenren gently patted Li Aidan’s head, and suddenly a golden light covered Li Aidan’s entire body.
“Master… I won’t leave…”
Li Aidan struggled incessantly in the golden light.
“Go.”
Piaomiao Zhenren waved his hand, and Li Aidan immediately disappeared into the golden light.
“Old Demon Qiong, come on, see how my Emei Life and Death Obscurity Two Elements Micro Dust Array protects the Dharma and subdues demons.”
Piaomiao Zhenren stood on the top of Biyun Cliff, twelve huge flag gates floating in the air, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing. Piaomiao Zhenren held a golden longsword, coldly watching the dark clouds gradually approaching on the horizon.
"Of the four great Daoist sects under heaven, three have been destroyed, leaving only your Emei sect. Master Piaomiao, as the foremost Daoist of today, why don't you follow the will of heaven and quickly submit to Ancestor Qiqiong, lest the people of Shu Mountain suffer further devastation?"
From within the dark clouds, the three leaders of the Demonic Sect simultaneously appeared, shouting at Master Piaomiao.
"Iron Maiden, Green Eyes, Red Hair, you three lackeys are not even worth my attention! Quickly summon Old Demon Qiqiong to face his death!"
Master Piaomiao pointed his longsword, and instantly, twelve flag gates simultaneously erupted with thunderous roars. An immense Daoist killing intent burst forth from the flag gates. The three Demonic Sect leaders simultaneously released their protective magic treasures, barely managing to withstand this boundless Daoist killing intent.
The world's number one formation, the Life and Death Obscurity Two Elements Microcosmic Dust Formation, its thousand-year reputation was not undeserved, and the one presiding over this number one Daoist killing formation was none other than the current foremost Daoist, the Emei Sect Leader, Master Piaomiao.
"You old dog, you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! You don't know what's good for you!"
The Naked Cult Leader, Tie Ji, roared, and nine demonic banners appeared in the air, protecting the three demonic cult leaders. The power of the nine demonic banners and the twelve flag gates intertwined, each banner displaying a gigantic demon god, roaring and emitting deafening cries against the killing intent emanating from the flag gates.
"You heretic demons, today I'll show you the methods of Emei!"
The Misty Immortal, who had been hailed as the greatest Taoist master in the world for hundreds of years, was no stranger to challenge them. With a roar, he soared into the air, his longsword transforming into a streak of golden light that swept towards Tie Ji's nine demonic banners. With the help of the twelve flag gates, the chilling sword light instantly suppressed all the demon gods on Tie Ji's banners.
"You old dog, don't be so arrogant!"
Facing the formidable strength of the Misty Immortal, the Azure-Eyed God-King sneered. Suddenly, the crystal skull on his chest released a blinding light, which shone on Iron Maiden's nine demonic banners. The gods and demons on the banners instantly gained immense power, and the Misty Immortal's sword light and banners were simultaneously suppressed by the demonic forces.
"Taiyi Divine Thunder!"
the Misty Immortal roared, his hands striking wildly. Clusters of terrifying lightning and fire erupted from his palms, amplifying the power of his banners and flying swords. The Misty Immortal, exerting all his strength, barely managed to hold his own against Iron Maiden's nine demonic banners.
"You old dog, Misty Immortal, watch me take your life!"
Seeing both the Azure-Eyed God-King and Iron Maiden attack simultaneously, the Red-Haired Ancestor could no longer restrain himself. With a roar, he unleashed an ancient god-demon from his white bone hammer, lunging towards the Misty Immortal. The ethereal True Person, who was barely holding on, was instantly defeated by the powerful demonic fire and light of the ancient gods and demons. The twelve flag gates dimmed, and the golden sword light was seized by the ancient gods and demons. With a single blow, the massive white bone hammer completely shattered the spiritual energy attached to the sword.
Chapter 103 The Loss of the Upper Xuanyuan
Sword The ethereal True Person spat out a mouthful of golden blood and fell to the ground.
"Master..."
A strong red light flashed, and a beautiful woman rode an unimaginably massive sword light to rescue the ethereal True Person who was falling to the ground.
"Dan'er..."
The ethereal True Person did not expect that Li Aidan, whom he had sent away with the Taiyi Spiritual Light Escape Technique, would actually return and rescue him by riding the sword light.
"Master, this disciple is also a member of the Emei Sect, and swears to live and die with Mount Shu."
Li Aidan's expression was firm.
"You brat, where do you think you're going?"
Tie Ji shouted angrily, and the nine demonic banners unfurled at the same time, and nine demon gods pounced on Li Aidan who was riding the red sword light.
"You demons and heretics, I'll fight you to the death!"
Li Aidan shouted, and the red sword light beneath her feet suddenly broke free from her control, directly engulfing the nine demon gods.
"Even a grain of rice can shine brightly."
Tie Ji sneered coldly. Her demon banners were ancient demonic treasures, even the Misty Immortal couldn't destroy them, so why should she fear this woman? Before Tie Ji could finish speaking, the red light had already enveloped the nine demon gods. In the instant it enveloped them, the red light suddenly expanded a hundredfold, and the nine demon gods let out a mournful cry, disappearing without a trace in the golden light.
"What..."
Tie Ji looked in astonishment as her nine demon banners simultaneously contracted, returning to their original form, the nine banners tattered and incomplete.
"Little demoness, prepare to die."
Seeing Tie Ji's demon banner injured, the Red-Haired Ancestor roared in anger. The ancient god-demon pounced on Li Aidan, preparing to repeat his old trick of breaking the spiritual energy on Li Aidan's sword. Unexpectedly, Li Aidan didn't need to control it at all. The red light had already rushed towards the ancient god-demon. As soon as the ancient god-demon approached the red light, it seemed to be dumbfounded, hovering in mid-air without knowing how to dodge. It allowed the red light to wrap around its head, and then with a flick of its wrist, the huge skull instantly disappeared into the air.
"It hurts so much..."
The White Bone Hammer was the Red-Haired Ancestor's life-saving treasure. Now that it was broken, the Red-Haired Ancestor immediately let out a miserable cry, and his whole body became weak and listless.
"Go..."
Facing that strange red light, the Azure-Eyed God-King dared not be reckless. He could only spread his sleeves and retreat with Tie Ji and the Red-Haired Ancestor in a flash. Countless ghosts were driven by the Azure-Eyed God-King to entangle the red light.
Faced with the surging tide of countless ghosts, the red light, now free from Li Aidan's control, suddenly transformed into countless thin red threads, rushing towards the ghosts. In the blink of an eye, all the ghosts vanished within the red light.
"The Xuanyuan Sword..."
Demon Ancestor Qi Qiong gazed at the red light reflected in the mirror, murmured, and stood up for the first time.
"Three-Headed Owl, guard the Demon Palace for me. I'm going there myself."
Qi Qiong casually waved his hand, and the bronze cauldron in front of the Demon Palace flew off the ground, landing in Qi Qiong's hand. Before Qi Qiong's voice had faded, he disappeared before the three-headed owl.
The countless red threads, after annihilating the ghosts, instantly merged again, transforming into a massive red sword light that fell towards the three leaders of the Demonic Sect.
"Retreat."
Qi Qiong's deep voice rang out, and the massive bronze cauldron suddenly appeared before the red sword light. The red sword light struck the bronze cauldron, creating a tremendous roar.
"Little girl, where did you get that Xuanyuan Sword? Has that Xuanyuan guy been reincarnated?"
Qi Qiong glanced at the Xuanyuan Sword that had returned to Li Aidan's side, then shifted his gaze to Li Aidan.
"You heretic! Since you know the fame of the Xuanyuan Sword, why don't you retreat quickly, lest the divine sword manifest its power and cut off your dog's head?"
Li Aidan shouted angrily at Qi Qiong.
"Cut off my head? Haha, little girl, even if the Xuanyuan Sword was in that Xuanyuan guy's hands, I, Qi Qiong, was never afraid, let alone a little girl like you with little magic power. Tell me Xuanyuan's whereabouts obediently, and I'll spare your life."
Qi Qiong laughed wildly.
"You are Qi Qiong..."
The Misty Immortal, having regained his composure, quickly pulled Li Aidan behind him. Qi Qiong, the Demon Ancestor, wasn't boasting. As a Demon Ancestor of the same generation as the Xuanyuan Holy Emperor, he had definitely fought the Xuanyuan Holy Emperor. Since even the Xuanyuan Holy Emperor, wielding the Xuanyuan Sword, couldn't kill this Demon Ancestor, Li Aidan, despite possessing the Xuanyuan Sword , might not be a match for him.
"That's right, I am the Demon Ancestor Qi Qiong. Quickly tell me, where is that Xuanyuan fellow?"
Qi Qiong roared impatiently.
"Qi Qiong, my Emei sect is still a Taoist lineage. How could we betray the Xuanyuan Holy Emperor? Forget about it!" The
Misty Immortal forcefully gathered his true energy, and suddenly the twelve flag gates floating in the sky erupted with powerful killing intent once more.
"A mere trick."
Qi Qiong sneered. The seemingly invincible Taoist killing intent had no effect on Qi Qiong, as if it were a gentle breeze.
"Behold my Xuanyuan Sword!"
Seeing that even the most powerful formation of Mount Shu, the Yin-Yang Dust Array of Life and Death, had no effect on this monster, Li Aidan shouted and released her Xuanyuan Sword once more. Instantly, a blinding red light swept towards Qi Qiong.
"Xuanyuan Sword..."
Faced with the divine power of the Xuanyuan Sword, even the mighty Demon Ancestor Qi Qiong dared not be careless. With a deep thought, he released the bronze cauldron in front of him. The tiger-bodied, bull-horned, winged monster on the cauldron seemed to come alive in an instant, its terrifying eyes glaring as it charged towards the Xuanyuan Sword. In an instant, the pair of huge bull horns collided with the Xuanyuan Sword, and for the first time, the all-powerful Xuanyuan Sword was deflected.
"Slash again..."
Although the Xuanyuan Sword had failed in its first attack, Li Aidan still commanded it to slash at Qi Qiong again, after all, it was currently the only thing that could threaten Qi Qiong.
"Haha, little girl, remember how powerful the Xuanyuan Sword was in the hands of Xuanyuan? You can't even unleash one percent of its power, yet you dare to try and deal with this old ancestor? Take it away!"
After two encounters, Qi Qiong had already realized that Li Aidan's magic power was too weak, and she couldn't unleash the boundless, earth-shattering power of the Xuanyuan Sword in the hands of the Xuanyuan Holy Emperor. With a wild laugh, the monster coiled on the bronze cauldron suddenly pounced out, its huge jaws biting into the red light. The red light immediately began to writhe like a giant snake, trying to break free from the monster's jaws. However, the monster seemed completely unafraid of the Xuanyuan Sword's light, holding on tightly and refusing to let go, continuously dragging the red sword light into the bronze cauldron.
The moment the red sword light touched the cauldron, it seemed to have met its nemesis, ceasing its struggle. The red sword light reverted to an ancient-style sword, quietly resting in the monster's mouth.
"My Xuanyuan Sword..."
Seeing his precious sword taken by the monster, Li Aidan panicked and unleashed several bolts of divine lightning, ready to fight Qi Qiong to the death.
"You're courting death."
A fierce glint flashed in Qi Qiong's eyes, and he spat out a ball of black lightning that slammed directly at Li Aidan. Li Aidan's preemptive Taiyi Divine Lightning seemed to have no power at all, vanishing without a trace before the black lightning, which then struck Li Aidan.
"Reversing life and death, turning dust into light and shadow."
Watching his beloved disciple die before his eyes, the Misty Immortal could only roar. The twelve flag gates once again displayed their divine power, meeting the black lightning and fire. The moment the black lightning and fire touched the twelve flag gates, they simultaneously emitted a tremendous roar. Then, an immense Daoist killing intent erupted from the flag gates like a bomb exploding, plunging the entire world into darkness…
"They escaped? It doesn't matter. As long as the Xuanyuan Sword is in my hands, that Xuanyuan fellow is like a toothless tiger, nothing to fear."
Qi Qiong looked at the Xuanyuan Sword sleeping quietly within his strange cauldron, a cruel smile appearing on his face.
"Destroy Mount Shu!"
Qi Qiong said to the three Demon Sect leaders as he returned to the Demon Palace with the strange cauldron.
"Yes..."
The three demonic sect leaders, still furious with Misty Immortal and Li Aidan, simultaneously agreed, each leading their followers into action. With various demonic treasures crisscrossing the area, demonic fire and light instantly filled the Bi Ning Cliff. As the spiritual energy of Mount Emei was drained, the Bi Ning Cliff, suspended in the sky, slowly sank into the vast ocean below. The
Emei Mountain lineage, which had dominated the world for a thousand years, completely vanished from the mortal realm.
All four major Daoist sects in the world were annihilated by the Demon Ancestor Qi Qiong. Across the land, demonic energy permeated the air, and demons danced wildly.
Chapter 103: The Origin of Qi Qiong
. The ocean is mysterious. The area of the Earth covered by oceans far exceeds that of land. Even in this technologically advanced modern era, humanity still harbors lingering fear of the ocean's mysteries. All ships only travel along predetermined routes; once they deviate from the course, no one can predict what dangers await them.
At this moment, on the vast ocean, a cruise ship, having deviated from its course, was speeding along a straight line. Outside the ship, numerous Taoist priests, each wielding their magical implements, were patrolling. In the ship's enormous banquet hall, elders of the Central Plains Taoist sect, leading their followers, were intently watching a middle-aged scholar in ancient Confucian robes, trapped within a mysterious array in the center of the hall. This scholar was none other than the Misty Immortal who had escaped from Mount Shu.
"Master, how are your injuries?" The
Misty Immortal slowly finished his practice and opened his eyes.
"The power of the Old Demon Qiong is truly astonishing. My cultivation is reduced to only seventy percent; I don't know when I will recover," the
Misty Immortal sighed.
"The Maoshan Sect Master is already critically injured and beyond saving… Your esteemed disciple Li Aidan and the new Maoshan Sect Master Mao Xiaoyou are also critically injured and beyond saving. Although our sects' elixirs have protected their lives, if this continues…"
An old man dressed in the robes of the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master sighed.
"Don't worry, everyone. Although this is a great calamity for our Daoist sect, the Demon Ancestor
Qi Qiong is not invincible. As long as we find the reincarnation of the Yellow Emperor, we can eliminate Qi Qiong and restore the glory of our Daoist sect," Master Piaomiao comforted them.
"Seniors, according to the nautical chart, we will soon arrive at the Hawaiian Islands,"
a young Daoist hurriedly informed them.
"Great..."
The old Daoists, who had been adrift on the vast ocean for half a month, exclaimed with joy.
"Without delay, let's immediately take the wounded to see the Dragon's Descendant, the reincarnation of the Yellow Emperor,"
Master Piaomiao said.
"Yes..."
Master Piaomiao, known as the number one master in the Daoist sect, naturally held immense prestige within the sect. His words were obeyed by all the major sects.
Hawaii is a small island in the central Pacific Ocean occupied by the United States. It is not only an important US naval base in the Pacific but also one of the world's most famous resort destinations.
Beach, sunshine, swimsuit beauties, hula dancing…
Yang Yan has been completely decadent here for a month, spending his days eating, drinking, and having fun with the beauties, thoroughly enjoying himself.
His head is resting on Yu Li's plump thighs, eating chopped fruit from the Shiranui sisters, drinking the vampire clan's centuries-old treasured red wine, and listening to Xiao Xin playing classical music.
Yang Yan is currently in a completely lazy state.
“Who goes there? Show yourself…”
Ba, who was half-asleep behind Yang Yan, suddenly raised her head, and a massive divine power erupted from her body, immediately followed by several screams.
“Mr. Yang Yan, you seem quite relaxed.”
Faced with Ba's terrifying strength, Piaomiao Zhenren had no choice but to reveal herself.
“Piaomiao Zhenren, what can I do for you?”
Seeing Piaomiao Zhenren, Yang Yan patted Ba's head. Ba withdrew her divine power, then snuggled into Yang Yan's arms to continue sleeping. Yang Yan asked with a smile.
"This humble Daoist, Piaomiao, along with elders from various Daoist sects, greets the Descendant of the Dragon."
Although Piaomiao Zhenren and the others were older and of higher seniority, they dared not show any disrespect to Yang Yan, a man with the Eye of Desire who inherited the power of the Yellow Emperor.
"No need for such formalities. You cultivators should be resting in the deep mountains. Why do you have time to come here?"
Yang Yan found it very strange. In the past month or so, although Yang Yan had been resting, the vast intelligence system of the Shiranui family had been operating at full capacity. According to the intelligence they had received, nothing major seemed to have happened domestically, and the world was at peace. Russia and China's armies had clashed, and the Chinese army had driven Russia back to its homeland. In addition, the newly established provinces of Japan and Korea were under reconstruction. Apart from that, there seemed to be nothing special.
"Mr. Yang Yan, the Demon Ancestor Qiqiong has emerged from seclusion, threatening the common people and has already destroyed the four major Daoist sects of our Central Plains..."
Piaomiao Zhenren said.
"Demon Ancestor Qiqiong?"
Yang Yan frowned. Although he had never heard of this name before, it sounded very familiar.
"Qiqiong is the name of an ancient magical beast. This beast is the size of an ox, the body of a tiger, with wings on its back. It is ferocious and feeds on monsters and humans. At the end of the primordial era, Qiqiong cultivated into human form, possessing boundless magic and slaughtering countless gods. Later, it offended the Holy Emperor by attacking the Dragon Clan. The Holy Emperor Xuanyuan severely injured Qiqiong with the Xuanyuan Sword, and Qiqiong fled, hiding its whereabouts ever since."
Lilith, also an ancient demon, naturally had a more comprehensive understanding of Qiqiong's information and said.
"Qiqiong became the ancestor of the Demonic Sect, gathering the three major Demonic Sects in the world. Its ferocity was unparalleled, and almost no one could rival it. Half a month ago, it invaded my Shu Mountain, broke my Life and Death Darkness Two Elements Micro Dust Array, and forcibly seized the Xuanyuan Sword. Even my little disciple, Li Aidan, was severely injured by Qiqiong and remains unconscious to this day."
Piaomiao Zhenren added.
"How is Li Aidan now?"
Yang Yan was clearly more concerned about the beautiful Li Aidan.
"My disciple was severely injured by the Qiong magic. I wonder if the Holy Emperor has any way to heal him?"
Although Piaomiao Zhenren didn't know the extent of Yang Yan's magical power, he knew that Yang Yan was the reincarnation of the Xuanyuan Holy Emperor and possessed the immortal body of a divine dragon.
"Let me see."
Yang Yan nodded.
"Bring her in."
Piaomiao Zhenren called out. Several young Taoist priests immediately carried in two injured and stunningly beautiful women. One was Li Aidan from Mount Emei, and the other was Mao Xiaoyou, the newly appointed sect leader of Mount Mao.
"Who is this?"
With such a beautiful woman as Mao Xiaoyou appearing before Yang Yan, he naturally wanted to find out.
"She is Mao Xiaoyou, the newly appointed sect leader of Mount Mao."
Piaomiao Zhenren introduced.
"Oh."
Yang Yan came to the two women, and the red light of his Eye of Desire flashed, instantly revealing the injuries of the two women to him.
“Li Aidan was injured because her magic weapon was stolen, which damaged her vital energy. She was also invaded by demonic energy. If someone hadn’t used a lot of true energy to suppress the demonic energy, she would probably have died many days ago. As for this Maoshan sect leader, she was injured by a kind of spiritual weapon, which is a Netherworld wound. Although the wound has healed on the surface, this kind of spiritual energy with three parts Yin and seven parts Yang still remains in her body. If it weren’t for a spiritual energy of the same nature suppressing it in her body, she would probably…”
Yang Yan described the injuries of the two women without any discernible difference.
“I was also seriously injured by Qi Qiong. I really don’t have enough true energy to help Dan’er completely suppress the spiritual energy.”
Piaomiao Zhenren sighed.
“The sect leader was injured by the traitors of Maoshan. If I capture these two traitors, I will definitely smash their souls into hell and condemn them to eternal damnation.”
Sun Hai, the only divine general of Maoshan, who is a trendy young man, said hatefully.
“You don’t seem to be human…”
Under the gaze of desire, everything is exposed. Yang Yan looked at Sun Hai and said.
"I am the guardian deity of Maoshan,"
the exceptionally handsome Sun Hai said coldly.
"Guardian deity? If you were useful, Maoshan wouldn't have fallen, and this beautiful woman wouldn't have been injured,"
Yang Yan said, seemingly displeased with Sun Hai.
"..."
Sun Hai, as the guardian deity, seemed speechless.
"So beautiful... Wu, take them inside. I'll heal their wounds later."
Yang Yan waved his hand and said to Wu.
"Yes."
Under Wu's command, several female ninjas carried the two beautiful cultivators inside.
"You didn't come here just to have me heal these two girls, did you?"
Yang Yan said, looking at the group of old Taoist priests.
"Sir, you are the founder of my Taoist school, the reincarnation of the Yellow Emperor. Now the Taoist sects of the world are suffering from this demonic calamity. We hope you will have pity on our Taoist lineage and help subdue the demon."
Piaomiao Zhenren bowed to Yang Yan. As the reincarnation of the Yellow Emperor, the founder of Taoism, Yang Yan held a supreme position in Taoism. Even the sect leaders could only plead with him.
"Qi Qiong is an ancient demon king, whose strength is no less than any god or demon of that time. Even the Yellow Emperor, wielding the Yellow Emperor's sword, could not kill Qi Qiong. Now that you, Master, do not have the Yellow Emperor's sword, I'm afraid..."
Lilith said with some worry.
"And who is this?"
Sensing the enormous energy within Lilith's body, Piaomiao Zhenren asked.
"This is our vampire goddess, Queen Lilith,"
Yuri introduced, as she was quite familiar with the ethereal immortal.
