Is this… Divine Light?
Qing didn’t know, but under the illumination of this white jade radiance, her frail body and drained Inner Yuan miraculously regained vitality. Her injuries healed, her strength returned, and even the accumulated poison and Demonic Qi from the fierce battles began to steam away, bringing immense relief.
Taoism Divine Skills—Clear Spirit Divine Light!
The Divine Light, like sweet rain with its miraculous method, cleanses the vast world and exorcises the multitude of demons.
Under the universal shine of the Clear Spirit Divine Light, the Demonic Qi dissipated rapidly, and the demon troubles ceased abruptly.
Meng Fuyao’s pupils contracted, and in her ears, heart, and spirit, a profound chant resonated faintly.
The profound chant articulated the scriptures and preached the Tao.
“Within the mysterious gates of Xuanzong, radiant light pierces the void alike. The ultimate way arises from silence; the Three Elements Palace will be seen. The grand path culminates here; as divine sceneries guide the celestial dragons. Bridging the immortal shores, resolve to follow the spirit wind…”
In the sound of the Taoist scriptures, the Demonic Qi steamed away. Even the underlying dangers that the Corpse Resolution Immortality Law couldn’t eliminate were now subsiding.
An unprecedented ease, an unprecedented comfort, not even the lightest moment of demonic poison threat at the initial Corpse Resolution could compare to this sense of relief.
“This is…!?”
“Roar!!!”
Her shock was interrupted once more.
Looking up, she saw the blood clouds churning, a multitude of demons howling, fiercely enveloping the sky, intent on shrouding it again.
Many Demon Infants, abandoning the severely wounded, tottering True spirits of the Five Palaces that were on the verge of collapse, let out furious roars and spread their wings. They rushed through the air, heading straight for the White Jade Immortal City.
Demon Infants, Demon Path Nascent Souls.
Although they were not as formidable as Blood Demons—true seeds of the Demon Path like the Blood God Child—these beings were still extremely terrifying. Just a dozen or so could besiege and kill a Divinity Transformation; even Meng Fuyao, relying on the Immortal Artifact, could not withstand them. That was how Li Qiankun and other Corpse Resolution Cultivators met their demise, with only him barely escaping.
This demonstrates the horror of the Demon Infants, a change in quantity and quality capable of slaying Divinity Transformations.
How much has that quantity transformed now, and what about its quality?
An endless sea of blood, boundless blood clouds.
Nearly a thousand Demon Infants spread their wings, swooping directly toward the White Jade Immortal City.
This is the momentum of the blood sea formed, sweeping across the world—a transformation in quantity and quality of nearly a thousand Demon Infants.
However…
“Boom!”
The thunder roared, shaking heaven and earth.
From within the Immortal City, a giant shadow stepped forth, moving as a mountain relocates, then transforming into flowing light soaring into the infinite blood clouds.
“Boom!”
The flowing light surged, the blood clouds tumbled, revealing a divine general.
A divine general, tens of thousands of feet tall, adorned in golden armor and a red robe, with eyes like golden lamps and hair red as cinnabar reaching towards the heavens. With a mouth as fierce as the wind and teeth like silver, brandishing thunder like a metal whip, and feet that tread on wind and fire as if riding a chariot, his presence is overwhelmingly majestic and awe-inspiring.
Indeed, it is the unsparing fierce official of the Three Realms, the Duotian Supervisor Spirit Officer!
The fierce official of the Three Realms, the All-Heaven Great Spirit Official, stands tens of thousands of feet tall amidst the blood clouds. With an opening of his forehead’s eye, a shock of thunder and fire spreads, his divine light shining and sweeping in all directions.
“Boom!”
The divine light sweeps, thunder and fire roar together, and in an instant, countless Demon Infants and demons turn to ash, even splitting the raging blood clouds.
Below Divinity Transformation, Demon Infants, considered almost invincible, couldn’t withstand this thunder and divine light, neither in exposure nor in a sweep?
Indeed, they couldn’t resist!
The ultimate Spiritual Treasure, the trump card Mecha Armor.
Divinity Transformation Heavenly Master, thirty million artifacts.
And the true Taoist Immortal Law, thunder and fire divine powers…
Let alone mere Demon Infants, even Demon Path’s Divinity Transformations couldn’t withstand this thunder and divine light.
In an instant, dozens of Demon Infants and hundreds of demons were reduced to ash and smoke.
But still, some Demon Infants evaded the divine light, carrying the momentum of the blood clouds to approach fiercely, claws and fangs striking at the divine general’s body.
The attack of claws and fangs was not just sharp, but also maliciously venomous.
The evil and the poison of the Demon Path!
Once tainted, it would erode the practitioner’s body and even the Primordial Spirit and soul, like maggots of decay that could not be shaken off. Even the Corpse Resolution method that severed the body for rebirth could leave lingering dangers, becoming a fatal flaw.
This was why the nine Corpse Resolution Sects faced their downfall.
In terms of combat power, they were Nascent Souls not weaker than these demons, but the deeply-rooted Demon Seed was a fatal hidden danger.
The Corpse Resolution Cultivators were like this, but what about this divine general…?
“Boom!”
The thunder boomed, bursts of blinding lightning.
The divine general swung his steel whip, thunder and fire like dragons sweeping through, destroying more than ten Demon Infants.
The giant frame, further bathed in divine light, shone clear and bright with hidden thunder and fire, like an impregnable bulwark, hard as divine iron. Not to mention the claws and fangs of Demon Infants, even the demonic Qi and primordial spirits couldn’t find a crack to infiltrate, causing not the slightest contamination.
Taoism Divine Skills, infinitely wondrous, numerous protective divine spells, how could he fear the invasion of evil demons.
“Boom!”
The Dutian Spirit Official commands the storm with his thunderous whip.
The sky-covering blood clouds thus exploded apart, turning into a field of thunder and fire.
And at this moment, another sight unfolds…
“Whoosh!”
From within the Immortal City, another Spirit Light shot forth, revealing an unfolding scroll.
The scroll unfurled, depicting a figure, severing greed and anger with grand sword gestures — Pure Yang Wuji, the Immortal of Longevity.
As the sword scroll flew out, the Spiritual Treasure took form, thirty million swords crisscrossing, manifesting the towering figure of Pure Yang.
“`
It was none other than the Pure Yang Wonderful Dao Ten Thousand Sword Immortal!
With Pure Yang leading the charge, a single sword strike tore off a piece of the bloody sky canopy, trapping countless demon infants and demon children within the myriad swords. They were crisscrossed and shredded to dust.
Following the Pure Yang sword fairy, two streaks of flowing light shot out from the Immortal City.
They were two majestic divine generals.
One general, with disheveled hair and bare feet, surrounded by six stars, brandishing a sword with furious eyes, intimidated thousands of demons and myriad evil spirits!
The other, clad in golden armor that radiated light, with the aura of black and yellow descending, thunder and lightning roaring, dominated the Three Mountains and Five Peaks.
The Southern Dipper Anti-devil Mysterious Marshal!
The Supernatural General of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks!
The Four Great Celestial Masters, Four Divinity Transformations, Four Spirit-Treasure Mech Armors, and twelve million magic artifacts!
“Boom!”
The Exorcising Demon Marshal and the Heavenly General, each wielding their powerful spiritual treasures, divided the bloody sky canopy.
In an instant, the dense clouds that blocked the sun were split into four chunks, like blood cakes amongst the thunderous sword chants and the pressure of the celestial stars, billowing and shrinking away, countless demon infants and children reduced to ash.
Even so, some slip-throughs, fearless of death, charged against the nine heavens, attempting to shake the Heavenly Palace Immortal City.
However…
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“Rumble!!!”
Above the firmament, suddenly the sound of drums thundered, shaking the heavens.
Looking up, around the Immortal City, dark clouds gathered densely, with fierce lightning scurrying about, as if the heavens were enraged.
Above the clouds, silhouettes were barely discernible, some dignified and neatly dressed, some disheveled, some topless, like valiant strongmen fiercely beating the thunder drums.
The thunder drums, drums of thunder and lightning, were furiously pounded by strongmen, causing the dark clouds to roar mightily, truly a sign of the anger of heaven and earth, an execution by gods and men alike.
Beyond the thunder drums there were electric mirrors, standing upon the clouds, casting thousands of electrical bolts, as if golden snakes were frenziedly dancing.
It was as if the Celestial Soldiers of the Thunder Department descended to the world, the Taoism of Shenxiao to exterminate the evil demons!
The Duotian Altar!
The Shenxiao Great Array!
Indeed, it was the Taoists of Mingxiao!
“Heavenly spirit, earthly spirit, we respectfully summon the reverence of the Nine Heavens Primordial Sovereign, today we build an iron fortress, Shenxiao’s command establishes a thunder prison, invisible from all sides, with copper walls and iron ramparts thousands of yards deep, golden light dazzles the eyes with thunder and lightning, Yang Yun clouds cover the top with thunder descending, demons and evil spirits cannot stand firm, evil spirits are startled and souls are frightened, I serve the supreme king, the Jade Pure Divine Soldiers as urgent as a decree!”
“Boom!”
The strongmen beat the drums, the Taoists chanted in unison, and instantly lightning flashed and thunder roared, wind startled and clouds scattered, a thunder prison was manifested, with iron walls and copper ramparts thousands of yards deep, Yang Yun clouds covered the top with thunderous explosions, no way out to the heavens, no gate into the ground, only within the thunder did they turn to ash.
The few remaining slip-throughs, demon children and demon infants, were again mostly exterminated in an instant.
Those few who were lucky enough to survive, before they could make any further moves, saw…
“Hum!”
The void stirred, sword currents arose, vast and mighty, surging out of White Jade Immortal City, rushing towards the few remaining slip-throughs.
In the blink of an eye, the situation drastically changed.
The White Jade Immortal City stood firm in the ninth heaven, towering and unmovable.
The boundless bloody clouds, fragmented and shattered, war raging all around.
“…”
“…”
“…”
Above, the chaos of battle, beneath, a deadly silence.
The disciples of the Five Palaces, the masters of the Twelve Towers, all the survivors looked up to the sky in a daze, utterly spellbound.
Meanwhile, within the sea of blood.
“Heaven! Above! White! Jade! Capital!”
Each word bitten off, enunciated through clenched teeth.
The Blood Demon looked at Xu Yang, eyes twitching with shock and fury, “Is this what you rely on?”
To this, the cultivator remained silent, ignoring the question, as the Five Colors Divine Light rose high, heading straight for the Immortal City.
“Hmph!”
“Just an Immortal Artifact, how can it harm me?!”
Seeing this, the Blood Demon grew even more enraged, immediately raising a defiant clamor as the sea of blood surged towards the Immortal City.
However…
A ray of golden light descended, and a figure stepped down.
The sea of blood trembled, and the waves crashed, sinking away.
The Blood Demon was startled, halting abruptly in terror.
Before him stood a person, hair pinned with a black jade hairpin, gathering three thousand strands, wearing a cyan garment hiding myriad laws, with temples of still-black hair flowing, a jade face without whiskers resembles the seas of time, eyebrows stern and proud in the wind, eyes bright and penetrating as if scrutinizing the divine, truly a genuine cultivator from the human realm, an Immortal of the Righteous Path across myriad miles of red dust.
Outstanding, outstanding, utterly outstanding!
Extreme, extreme, utterly extreme!
“You…!”
The Blood Demon’s pupils constricted, uncertain and fearful.
“I…?”
The cultivator’s expression remained normal, undisturbed and tranquil, “I am none other than Xuanyuan, the lord of the White Jade Capital!”
