Chapter 350: Chapter 233: Demon Refining_2

Five Elements and Five Spirits, five directions and five arrays, have now become the Bloody Demon Dreadful Place.

Not only to seal but also to refine.

Xu Yang’s sleeve swept out, and he rose into the sky as the Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor instantaneously disassembled, transforming into five torrents that flowed into the array.

These were the one hundred thousand Five Elements Magic Artifacts that constituted the foundation of the Mech Armor’s form.

Only one hundred thousand?

Only one hundred thousand!

Ten years’ time was far too short, and constrained by Demonic Qi, he could not recruit many disciples, and furthermore, he had to spend a great deal of time and energy purifying the Demonic Qi within the materials.

Under such conditions, how many Magic Artifacts could be refined in ten years?

For ordinary people, let alone one hundred thousand, even one thousand would be difficult.

It was only because Xu Yang was a Refinement Grandmaster, had certain Skill Traits, and the Heavenly Mechanics Methods, that he could mass produce Magic Artifacts like a flowing stream, thus managing to create a Mech Armor of one hundred thousand Artifact-level Spiritual Treasures in just ten short years.

It was quite difficult, a very arduous process.

But effort yields rewards, and hard work brings harvest.

One hundred thousand Magic Artifacts, each divided among the Five Elements, giving twenty thousand for each direction, to serve as the foundation of the array’s footholds and nodes, integrating into the Five Directions Formation.

Instantly…

“Roar!!!”

The Azure Dragon roared, its azure light greatly intensified, the power of the Yimu element further urged, extinguishing the waves of the bloody sea.

Just as with the Azure Dragon, the other four Spirits were the same.

Using the body as an array, the treasure as an array, the Mech Armor as an array.

The art of Tiangong, the wonders of creation, all revealed.

Within such an array, under such a force…

“Gurgle gurgle!”

The bloody sea churned, boiling like soup, quickly condensing at a speed visible to the naked eye, with a face vaguely visible within, distorted by agony and wailing piteously, yet soundlessly, as all noise was blocked by the power of the array.

Seal, seal, seal!

Supress, suppress, suppress!

The Five Spirits seal the demon, refining the bloody sea.

Although having converted to the Demon Ancestor, transformed into the Real Seed of Boxun, even the Blood Sea Asura and the Nether River Blood God Child would find themselves lamenting without any recourse in the face of this Heavenly Secret Five Elements True Spirit Demon Sealing Great Array.

Even as the Five Elements True Spirits sealed and refined the bloody sea…

“The world has its upright Qi, endowed to all forms!”

“Supreme Haoqi endures, benefiting the world and aiding the people!”

“Slash!!!”

With a thunderous shout, the Haoqi surged again, transforming into a dazzling Sword Qi, slashing directly towards oneself.

Indeed, oneself, slicing at oneself.

The Haoqi Sword struck into oneself.

Meng Fuyao’s body trembled, and the agony on his face vanished suddenly.

In his mind, the blood-soaked pages of the “Transformative Freedom Boxun Heart Sutra” were struck by the Haoqi Sword, immediately cracked open, then disintegrated, like maggots and tadpoles, drilling into an invisible unknown place.

Self-cleaving the demon within, the poison waned!

Meng Fuyao awoke with a start, his Corpse Resolution body drenched in sweat, his face somewhat pale, all signs of having survived a calamity.

A mighty Corpse Resolution into Divinity Transformation, Supreme Haoqi, yet so frail?

Indeed, that frail.

Because what he faced was none other than the Transformative Freedom Boxun Mara.

In the presence of such an entity, what was Divinity Transformation? Merely an ant!

Even if it wasn’t the true body or an incarnation, but merely a transmission of power, it was enough to make Divinity-Transformed Cultivators shiver in fear.

Before such overwhelming power, both Divinity-Transformed Cultivators and common folk were the same, equally insignificant, equally humble.

Had it not been for the Supreme Haoqi Long breath and the power of the Immortal Sword to self-cleave the demon within him, his chances this time would have been slim.

Even so, what he saw and heard, the Boxun Heart Sutra, still moved restlessly in his mind.

He had cut down himself with the sword, forgotten all that had just happened, and even the words “Boxun Heart Sutra” had been removed from his mind, leaving no memory whatsoever.

But even so, deep within his mind, deep in his heart, there remained a force restless and eager to emerge, wishing to revive the teachings of the Boxun, the doctrine of the Mara.

Terrifying, truly terrifying!

Yet, Meng Fuyao had no time for other concerns, holding the Hao sword, he turned back and slashed towards Li Qiankun, whose face was twisted with extreme pain.

If even he, a divinity-transformed Corpse Resolution, had been tested by the Boxun Heart Sutra, then Li Qiankun and the others of merely Nascent Soul cultivation didn’t need to be mentioned, similarly trapped and unable to extricate themselves.

Fortunately, their lower cultivation meant that the demonic toxin was relatively mild; otherwise, even if they did not fall into the Demon Path, their foundations would be tainted, and millennia of cultivation could be destroyed.

Meng Fuyao could not allow this, so the Haoqi Sword struck into Li Qiankun’s brain.

“Ugh!!”

Li Qiankun’s body shook, the pain on his face dissipating, and the bloodshot haze in his eyes cleared somewhat.

Meng Fuyao did not say much more, the Haoqi surged once again, slashing towards the three Buddhist monks.

Transformative freedom, where Buddha and Mara are one, the three monks’ situation was even more concerning.

Fortunately, the ancient Immortal Sword was extraordinary, and Upright and Righteous Qi could also restrain evil demons; one slash later, the three monks also settled down.

Seeing this, Meng Fuyao finally took a breath of relief but quickly tensed up again, turning back to the Demon sealing battlefield.

He saw the Five Elements and Five Spirits, sealing heaven and earth, utterly refining the crimson bloody sea.

“This…”

“Five Elements True Spirits?”

“The Demon Sealing Array?”

Meng Fuyao had not yet spoken when Li Qiankun, standing beside her, recovered. His face was pale, and he was drenched in cold sweat, but he didn’t care about that as his eyes were fixed on the Demon Sealing Array.

“Five Colors Divine Light, Five Elements Spiritual Treasure!”

“Five Elements True Spirits, Five Elements Great Array!”

“Such divine skills, such methods…”

“Who in the world is this sacred being!?”

The words were full of shock and questions.

Li Qiankun was thus perplexed, and so was Meng Fuyao, with furrowed brows that could not relax.

White Jade Capital?

Though it had risen abruptly, creating unexpected changes, it was just like Zheng Yin; she hadn’t taken this mysterious force, which exhibited no more than Golden Core strength, too seriously. She thought it was just Snow God Mountain staging a farce, merely a deceptive tactic.

But unexpectedly…

Who is this person?

The master of White Jade Capital?

But who exactly is the master of White Jade Capital?

Could there still be a hidden master in this world?

No, no, no, with the way the world is, what use is there in hiding? If it’s possible, who wouldn’t want Ascension? Would they want to end up like the ancient immortals who remained behind and became one with the earth?

Unsolvable, completely unsolvable.

But at this crucial juncture, even if it’s unsolvable, one cannot intervene.

The enemy of an enemy is a friend.

Regardless of who this person is, as long as they are not from the Demon Path, they can share a common goal driven by mutual hatred—especially since at this moment, he is in the midst of sealing and refining demons.

The Blood Demon is the key at present.

Meng Fuyao remained silent with a grave voice, while Li Qiankun and the three recovered Buddhists also prepared for battle, ready to take over at any moment.

“The blood sea is unceasing, the Blood Demon is undying!”

“Despite the array’s strength, the consumption is also huge.”

“If exhaustion sets in, the Blood Demon will find an opportunity…”

“This array is exquisite, Five Elements in harmony, creating and restraining one another, like a separate world. It’s comparable to Taoist Friend Li’s ‘Cloud Dragon Hiding the Moon’ technique in its ingenuity. It has completely isolated the Blood Demon from the blood moon. With such refinement, even if the True Seed of the Blood Demon can’t be destroyed, sealing it shouldn’t pose a great problem.”

“This person is a Grandmaster of the Array Path. My ‘Cloud Dragon Hiding the Moon’ technique is far inferior!”

“Since when has there been such a person in this world?”

The group spoke one after another, filled with astonishment and uncertainty.

Looking back at the battlefield, the tide of the blood sea had reached its end.

Five Elements and Five Spirits, sealing and refining demons, the surging blood sea had disappeared, leaving only a mass of flesh and blood.

This mass of flesh and blood represented the Blood Seed, the source of the Bloody Sea Spring Eye.

Now, the spring eye no longer had blood flowing from it, and the outer layer of the flesh and blood had dried up, all bearing scars of the Five Elements’ Qi.

In the final moment, without hesitation, the figure of the cultivator reappeared within the array, connecting with the Five Elements True Spirits, raising the Five Colors Divine Light once again.

Only this time, the Divine Light had changed—it was no longer in the form of Sword Qi.

Instead…

“Rumble rumble!”

The Five Colors condensed, lightning flashed, shocking heaven and earth, grieving ghosts and gods.

“Five Elements Divine Thunder!”

“This…!!”

Upon witnessing this scene, even the Grand Cultivator undergoing Corpse Resolution was dumbstruck, his face filled with horror.

The practice of arts is difficult, cultivating Thunder Series is even more so.

This person based on the Five Elements, had cultivated the Five Elements Divine Light, Five Elements Spiritual Treasures, and the Five Elements Array Path, already astonishing and shocking.

An ordinary cultivator could spend their entire life without achieving one of these.

Yet he managed to encompass all of these, progressing simultaneously.

In the end, he also performed the Five Elements Divine Thunder technique.

Is this the result within reach for mortals of the Lower Realm?

In the midst of the shock…

“Rumble rumble!”

The Five Thunders manifested, and the palm technique transformed, representing both divine Taoist skills and physical spiritual ability.

Regardless of the system, Thunder Series is Thunder Series, thus earning the assistance of the “Heavenly Master.”

The Heavenly Master Being in Position, Five Elements in harmony, the Five Thunders united into a single bolt, and the five colors congealed into one. It became the ultimate destructive force.

At the final moment, with a palm strike, along with the momentum of the Five Elements Array, the destructive force of the thunderbolt struck the Bloody Sea Spring Eye.

“BOOM!!!”

A thunderous explosion shook the heavens and the earth; the Destruction Thunderbolt devoured the Bloody Sea Spring Eye. The extreme collision created shockwaves, turning into terrifying waves that swept in all directions.

“Not good!”

Meng Fuyao’s eyes tightened as she immediately shielded those in front of her.

Li Qiankun and the four others also changed color, urging their mana quickly, protecting themselves.

“Rumble rumble!”

The aftershock of the impact rumbled forth, destruction ensued in ten directions, and chaos was unending.
