TN: I’ve went back and fixed all intances of “Invisible Tianma” with “Formless Tianma” and “Visible Tianma” with “Formed Tianma” in previous chapters, because they sound better. Sorry for all of you who got confused by this
————————-
The Formless Tianma Saint King clasped her hands together and began to make hand seals to cast a spell.
Large ripples appeared in the sky, as if a giant boulder has been dropped into water.
Right as the Tianma began making hand seals, Xuanyuan Tianzun tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a bronze-colored turtle shell as big as his hand, then threw a coin into it.
One of the 6 arts, Divination.
Formless Tianma Saint King is a creature that the three Saints has never faced before, not to mention her cultivation being stronger than themselves, so Xuanyuan Tianzun took the chance to do a Divination and look into the future.
Of course, the price you have to pay to learn the future is exceptionally steep, but it’s still much better than dying.
The coin rolled inside the turtle shell as both of them hit the ground.
“There is a fire, fanned inside the furnace, yet there is only fire without any wind ———–she’s summoning something, when she gets it, we will die” he frowned looking at the turtle shell and quickly said.
Bai Hua Fairy was also counting something with her finger, another two breaths later, she and Xuanyuan Tianzun spoke at the same time: “The ceramic vase!”
As soon as they say that, Formless Tianma Saint King’s spell also finished casting.
A dull-grey color glow broke through space, as a dirty, dusty ceramic vase few out.
This was the demonic treasure that Venerable Xin was using earlier.
The mysterious pot that showed unimaginable power slowly floated above Demon Clouds River.
It appeared in the same place that it left with the three fake Saints and the six Beast Saints before.
“We definitely cannot let it get that demonic treasure, otherwise it’ll be like a tiger that sprouted wings, all of us will die” Xuanyuan Tianzun spoke with an extremely solemn expression.
The three Saints all looked at the sky.
Formless Tianma Saint King’s smile disappeared, staring intently at the three Saints.
?Divination? To peek into the future so arbitrarily, humanity deserves to die?
Saying so, her body shifted, moving towards the vase floating above Demon Clouds River.
She was already standing on Demon Clouds River’s banks, extremely close to the vase, while the three Saints were all standing a few hundred feet away, guarding humanity’s camp, clearly they wouldn’t make it.
Xuanyuan Tianzun yelled out: “I won’t be able to get there in time!”
“I will!” Xie Dao Ling replied.
Suddenly she disappeared without a trace. Already striking Formless Tianma Saint King’s face with her fist when she reappeared.
Martial Thaumaturgy, [Sky Fall]!
With a single strike, her martial prowess overflowed, the pressure feels like it could really break a hole in the sky.
This wasn’t the fake attack that she used to hit Blade Emperor back then with her incarnation, this was the actual Bai Hua Fairy Xie Dao Ling’s full power strike!
Being hit by this attack head-on, the Formless Tianma Saint King was knocked flying. She flew so fast she turned into nothing but a shadow, instantly passing the entire width of Demon Clouds River and straight into the black temple.
Boom!
The sound of the impact reverberated, as half the temple was broken.
Xie Dao Ling stood hovering in the air, scoffing: “You’re only a realm higher, win and loss in a real battle is never so cut and dried”
Then she flew to the vase, lightly slapping out and sent it to the direction of humanity’s camp, squarely landing in Xuanyuan Tianzun’s hands.
Xuanyuan Tianzun breathed out in relief, quickly stowed it away in his Inventory Bag.
The three Saints all stared at the Demon Palace temple cautiously, but Formless Tianma Saint King had yet to appear again.
After waiting for a bit more, something seemed to be moving inside the temple.
“What are you doing? Too scared to get out here?” Xie Dao Ling squints and eyes and provoked her.
But the only reply was a loud chanting from inside the temple
?Bo bei ye, bo bei mian, bo xun yu, bo xun ye?
The sound of chanting quickly spread out everywhere.
Asides from the chanting all other sounds had disappeared.
No matter how the cultivators tried to speak, shout, or even clap their hands, nothing made a sound.
Sound itself has been erased from heaven and earth.
Xie Dao Ling’s face became serious, her hands quickly made some hand seals.
Since the beginning of her cultivation until now, never has she faced such a sight and such a strange incantation.
Xuanyuan Tianzun once again threw another coin into his turtle shell.
The coin rolled around the turtle shell, flipped then stopped.
“Great peril” he sent his voice to the other two Saints, “if we don’t deal with that as soon as possible, we might be able to live, but this world will face a great catastrophe”
Hearing that, Bai Hua Fairy raised her brows.
She has never been afraid of Tianma, but this was the first time she met such a strange creature like the Formless Tianma Saint King, as well as her first time dealing with the Tianma incantation.
If that’s the case, she could only ———
A bright green glow emits from her body, then her hands started to make the hand seals necessary.
This Divine Skill needs a few dozen hand seals to activate, so it’ll take time.
She spoke: “Buy some time for me”
Seeing her use this spell, Xuanyuan Tianzun felt goosebumps all over his body.
He opened his mouth, but said nothing and went to shield Xie Dao Ling in front of her.
“Benefactor Xie, this spell of yours takes too much life span to use, please stop your hands” the Great Monk of Sorrow suddenly sighed and sent his voice.
“Why?” Bai Hua Fairy was surprised.
The Great Monk of Sorrow sent his voice: “According to our ancient Buddhist scriptures, what they are using is a type of Tianma Divine Skill”
“Tianma doesn’t know how to fight, but they have the ability to summon countless Tianma from other worlds”
“A Tianma’s nature loves to eat human souls, even if they don’t have any way to kill us right away, they would still hide in plain sight, waiting for any human cultivators to slip up even once and kill them”
“The more Tianma there are in a world , the less people there will be, the less intelligent they’ll be, finally indistinguishable from beasts and cattle”
“And if that continues on, the world will be destroyed”
As Bai Hua Fairy and Xuanyuan Tianzun heard the Great Monk of Sorrow, they finally understood just how serious the situation was.
“The wretched Tianma are our Buddhist sworn enemies, and only the compassion of Buddha will be able to suppress these demonic beings”
“This battle, as fate has it, is my role to play”
Saying so, the Great Monk of Sorrow walked forward one step at a time, crossing the Demon Clouds River and headed towards the Demon Palace temple.
“Monk…” Xie Dao Ling muttered.
Xuanyuan Tianzun also spoke: “Buddhists does hold the authority for dealing with demonic beings, you and I should back him up, we’ll change the plan if needs be”
Xie Dao Ling slowly nodded, undoing her hand seals.
While the Great Monk of Sorrow was halfway there, countless brilliantly beautiful enchantresses flew out from the temple and headed towards him, laughing.
Wearing scantily clad veil-like clothes, their faces were tempting to the mind, each of their gestures and expressions tempted the body.
?Te li xi na, luo di na, luo jia ye?
The enchantresses’ soft voice softly chanted, they showed off their alluring bodies, wildly dancing as they surrounded Sorrow.
Each and every Tianma Enchantress is a female of absolute beauty by humanity’s standards, able to lead any cultivator’s Dao heart astray.
15 kinds of string emit from their bodies, tying Sorrow up.
All sorts of unsightly images appeared around him, each of them seems to be shrouded in a living mist, pushing, pulling, racing to envelop the Great Monk of Sorrow.
The originally calm and gentle Great Monk of Sorrow suddenly opened his eyes wide, as he chanted in a thunderous voice
“Ohm, bo luo mo lin tuo ning, suo po he!”
“Ohm, qin xi re zha hong, weng, pa la ma ni, da zha, hong pa suo ha!”
This was the Buddha’s Dalani, specially created to counter Tianma.
As soon as the Dalani appeared, space itself seemed like it was hit by a sledge hammer, the newly erected cage of thread was broken into pieces.
Heaven and earth itself was shaken nonstop, the thick black clouds were swept away by the fierce winds, revealing the moon and stars far above the dark blue sky.
The beautiful enchantresses let out an ear-piercing screech, falling from the clouds, struggling to fly back into the temple.
