Chapter 386: Annual Calamity! The Immortal Slaying Nine Swords Show Their Might (Part 1)
Chapter 386: Annual Calamity! The Immortal Slaying Nine Swords Show Their Might (Part 1)
Just as Hei Lian was in a daze, He Andown had already gone to various places, scattering countless 'seeds'.
YaYa directly used One Thought Bloom, and the Three Thousand Immortal Flowers bloomed, with each flower transforming into an incarnation that proceeded to their respective locations according to Lin Fan's guidance, waiting in place! Even her true self, under Lin Fan's guidance, arrived early at a certain place, quietly waiting.
Teiana couldn't use One Thought Bloom.
But she had the Blood Sea Indestructible Body!
Within the Blood Sea Indestructible Body, there was a 'skill' called Blood Sea Clone! As long as the blood sea didn't dry up, Teiana wouldn't die, and at the same time, her clones wouldn't weaken, making them virtually endless!
If she didn't care about strength, as long as there was enough 'blood', she could create countless clones.
She was merely absorbing blood energy to cultivate the Blood Sea Indestructible Body. She didn't need much strength; she only needed to conceal herself and avoid being discovered.
In this way, although there were only three of them, their efficiency wasn't much slower than the Buddhist sect's slaughter.
It could even be said that they were 'taking over'!
As a result, Hei Lian could initially enjoy his 'delicacies' leisurely.
But suddenly, he discovered that his 'delicacies' had a problem!
Approximately one-third of them had changed in taste!
They didn't taste as good as before, and they even seemed to have a bit of 'poison'.
Although he didn't care about the 'poison', it still felt a little uncomfortable.
It was as if...
The food had gone bad.
There was a subtle feeling of 'nausea'.
The remaining food, which he hadn't even taken two bites of, was gone, as if someone had intercepted and taken his food.
How could he bear this?!
Hei Lian was furious.
Wasn't this snatching food from the tiger's mouth?
This was simply intolerable!
He immediately sent out a divine soul fluctuation to inform the surrounding Black Buddhas: "Someone is stealing my blood food!"
"What?!"
The Black Buddhas were startled, and their faces changed slightly.
"This is intolerable! They're trying to put us in a deadly situation!"
"This is the last straw!"
"Find them and kill them!!!"
Several Black Buddhas decided to take action personally, disguising themselves and immediately setting off.
It wasn't that they were making a mountain out of a molehill, but...
This truly concerned the life and death of the Buddhist sect, and naturally, their own lives as well.
This was already the last resort, and now someone else was trying to intercept it?
How could they bear this?!
On the way, they communicated with each other: "Who do you think is behind this?"
"I think... it's probably a demon cultivator!"
"Yes, a demon cultivator must have appeared!"
"Among the demon cultivators, there are many cultivation methods that require a large amount of essence and blood, and there are also numerous related secret techniques. It's reasonable for them to eye these 'juicy targets'.
"I also think it's a demon cultivator!"
As they were discussing, suddenly, one of the Buddhas' faces changed slightly.
"No need to guess!"
"We already know who did it!"
"What?"
"One of the squads, led by three Bodhisattvas, was originally tasked with clearing out forces that disrespected our Buddha. They usually wouldn't encounter any accidents, but just now, they were swept away."
"All of them perished, and not a single one survived. The latest news is... they were drained of all their primordial energy!"
"What???"
"It must be this person!"
"Wow, they've even set their sights on us?"
"Change direction immediately and kill them!"
"This person must pay for their crimes with blood!"
"Annihilate their entire clan!!!"
"..."
"Well done, YaYa."
Inside the Moon Embrace Palace, Lin Fan acted as the central hub, using the Eightfold Mirror Technique to monitor the Buddhist sect and constantly communicate with YaYa and the others, providing them with 'navigation'.
"However, there are currently five Buddhas outside, and they've suddenly changed direction and are heading towards you. Take evasive action first."
In the distance, YaYa nodded.
"Yes, Master!"
She glanced at the direction Lin Fan indicated, frowned slightly, and whispered, "It's not the right time yet."
"Give me some more time..."
"You won't escape, not a single one of you!"
She clenched her fist.
It was evident that her strength was rapidly increasing! The Heaven Devouring Demon Art was powerful because it could devour anything in the heavens and earth. It could even devour the primordial energy of the universe, swallowing any energy it encountered without discrimination.
It could even devour others' 'innate talent'! In fact...
This was the most abnormal ability!
If there were no limits, and if YaYa set aside all her concerns and wasn't killed by someone in the middle of her cultivation, then relying on the Heaven Devouring Demon Art, she could become one of the strongest beings in the heavens and earth, if not the strongest.
For example, if YaYa went crazy and devoured Xiao Ling'er, Shi Hao, and others...
After all, the current YaYa was even stronger than Shi Hao!
If she directly devoured the innate talents of Shi Hao and other protagonist templates, it would be as if YaYa possessed these 'protagonist templates' herself, even if their fates were different. Relying on these templates, she could dominate countless eras.
Of course...
She wouldn't do such a thing.
Even if they were 'outsiders', she couldn't act without restraint.
Otherwise, she would truly become a super demon god.
Moreover...
Currently, Lin Fan and the eleven holy lands were targeting Hei Lian.
But if YaYa devoured without restraint, she would become a 'human-shaped Black Lotus'!
That's why YaYa had always been very restrained.
The most she had used the Heaven Devouring Demon Art was during the Sun and Moon Immortal Dynasty, when she unleashed her full power for revenge. But even then, she was selective in what she devoured.
At least she didn't indiscriminately devour everything without distinction.
But now...
Emmmm...
She still couldn't let go completely.
She couldn't indiscriminately devour everything without distinction.
However, the Buddhist sect was slaughtering indiscriminately!
Since these people had already been killed, if she didn't devour them, other entities would. There was no need to hesitate!
Psychological burden?
Absolutely not!
Even though YaYa wasn't the ruthless Empress in her youth and had a relatively less tragic childhood, with Master Lin Fan and companions like Xiao Ling'er, she was still modeled after the ruthless Empress.
At her core, she was no gentle and indecisive Holy Mother!
Moreover, she could genuinely feel something 'competing' with her for nourishment!
"Just what is that thing?"
"I can sense that my flesh and Primordial Energy are being taken, but I can't determine what exactly is doing the taking."
"However..."
"You're suppressing yourself too much, don't you want others to notice?"
"Given your speed..."
"You only deserve to drink a small sip of the soup."
Boom!!! YaYa increased her strength, her speed skyrocketing as she headed to the next location.
...
"Good, all three of them are on track."
Lin Fan coordinated and guided the three of them from a central position.
Although the Eightfold Mirror Technique was far inferior to the Heaven-Watching Mirror, it was still capable of monitoring three people and guiding them.
"Buddhist Sect..."
"I see you're truly desperate."
"But with me around, you won't succeed!"
"Everything will become a stepping stone for our Moon Embrace Palace's growth."
...
...
"This?!"
"Bold indeed!"
"How dare someone be so cold-blooded and profit from this 'war'?!"
"Too much!"
"Quick, Holy Mother Gu, let us see who these people are!"
The eleven Holy Sovereigns and Holy Mothers gathered together, all observing the situation through the Heaven-Watching Mirror.
They soon discovered that groups of people were emerging in the areas where the Buddhist Sect's monks had carried out massacres, absorbing the blood and all Primordial Energy to 'cultivate' madly...
This left them quite displeased.
But...
Gu Xing Lian sighed, "I've already tried, but it's not possible."
"Not possible?"
Duanmu didn't believe it, "Holy Mother Gu, this is the Heaven-Watching Mirror. Who in the entire Immortal Martial Continent can block it? If you say you can't identify them, who would believe you?"
"That was in the past."
Gu Xing Lian said calmly, "I used to think the Heaven-Watching Mirror could see everything, but now it seems there are many limitations. It's all just hype."
"For example, the core of the Bodhi Jewel Forest."
"For example, those few people, right?"
"Can't see them, can we?"
"All I can say is that their transformation techniques are extraordinary. At such a long distance, even the Heaven-Watching Mirror is powerless."
"So, everyone shouldn't place too much importance on the Heaven-Watching Mirror."
"In the end, it's just a bronze mirror. It's not that impressive."
Everyone: "..."
We don't believe you for a second!
Whoever believes you must be brain-dead!
Are you trying to make us underestimate the Heaven-Watching Mirror?
Do we look like fools to you?
They all rolled their eyes.
As for whether the Heaven-Watching Mirror could see through these people's true identities, they believed it could, but for some reason, Gu Xing Lian insisted on keeping their identities hidden.
Perhaps...
These people were connected to Gu Xing Lian and the Myriad Flowers Holy Land?
They exchanged glances, communicating silently for a moment, and ultimately decided not to pursue the matter further.
After all, in the grand scheme of things, this wasn't a big deal.
They just found such 'profiteering' behavior distasteful.
But to say it harmed their interests, that wasn't the case.
It wasn't worth it to argue with Gu Xing Lian over this minor annoyance.
...
"This feeling of rapidly increasing strength is truly exhilarating."
On the third day, at dawn.
With the 'final ultimatum' issued three days ago, less than one hour remained.
Lin Fan hummed contentedly.
"This feeling is truly great."
"YaYa and Teiana's strength is increasing at a rate that seems almost cheated."
"Double experience? It's more like ten times or more!"
"Especially YaYa, not only is her cultivation increasing, but her talents are also improving..."
"In just a few days, YaYa's combat power has increased several times over."
"So..."
"It's time for some training."
"YaYa!"
Lin Fan immediately gave an order, "About 280,000 miles southwest of here, there is a force."
"In about an incense stick's time, a group of monks will arrive. If you're interested, you can go and engage them."
"Yes, Master!"
YaYa accepted the mission.
She stood up, her eyes already tinged with a layer of blood.
"It's time!"
She immediately set off.
"As for Teiana."
Lin Fan stroked his chin, "She is mainly improving her Blood Sea Indestructible Body, which enhances her survival ability. She doesn't need to face the enemy head-on, after all, if the Blood Sea is damaged, it will need to be replenished later."
In the Eightfold Mirror Technique's view.
The Blood Sea had already 'covered the sky'!
At least visually, it looked that way.
Lin Fan estimated that it was far from being an ocean, but it was certainly comparable to a vast lake, no question about it.
"Even He Andown can't see much of the reason behind it."
"After all, as a 'biologist,' his main technique is 'microorganisms.'"
"His own realm, on the other hand, is less important."
"But I imagine he has also made significant improvements."
"Then..."
Lin Fan stood up.
Instantly, his bones crackled.
"I should stretch my muscles."
"By the way, today happens to be the day of a minor tribulation every year."
The three views from the Eightfold Mirror Technique merged into one.
In the scene, a group of monks was crossing the void, entering the southwestern domain, and rushing toward the Moon Embrace Palace.
"So..."
"It seems the Buddhist Sect is indeed 'petty.'"
"I can guess that you plan to start by targeting those who have a grudge against the Buddhist Sect and those you find annoying. However, between the Moon Embrace Palace and the Buddhist Sect, ignoring the Little Western Heaven incident, from beginning to end, it has been the Buddhist Sect causing trouble, and we have been passively enduring.
"As a result, you've set your sights on the Moon Holding Sect."
"Really..." Lin Fan sighed.
It wasn't that he wanted to ignore the facts, but from the perspective of the Little Western Heaven, the Tang Wu had always been the ones causing trouble. What did the Moon Holding Sect have to do with it?
So, from the Buddhist perspective, the Moon Holding Sect had never actively provoked them. Instead, it was the Great Vehicle Buddhism that came to rob Suyuan, and another time, they even wanted to eliminate Xiao Ling Er and the other direct disciples in one fell swoop.
And now...
They actually wanted to take the initiative to annihilate the Moon Holding Sect.
What kind of good people are they? Lin Fan turned his head, his neck cracking.
With a single step, he found himself outside the protective array of the Moon Holding Sect.
Without waiting for his command, one figure after another appeared in rapid succession.
The Great Demon God Shi Zhongtian, Hai Dongpo, Ji Haoyue, Chen An, Li Chunge, Deng Tai'a... a group of 9th Stage experts hovered on either side of Lin Fan.
At the same time, Xiao Ling Er, Wang Teng, Yuyu, Xu Fenglai, and other direct disciples lined up behind Lin Fan.
The scene was incredibly awe-inspiring!
Especially Xiao Ling Er, who was not hiding her strength at all.
The Heaven's Pride List shone with a dazzling golden light, illuminating the sky!
This momentum...
Instantly, the numerous elders and disciples of the Moon Holding Sect held their breath.
Lin Fan slapped his forehead, "Everyone, let's keep a low profile, a low profile."
"Put away your auras."
"Otherwise..."
"They probably wouldn't dare to come."
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately suppressed their auras.
Chen An blinked and followed suit.
To be honest...
Chen An wasn't too keen on getting involved. After all, strictly speaking, this matter had nothing to do with him; he was just here to teach.
But he couldn't resist Li Chunge and Deng Tai'a's auras.
"Hey, old man, you better not be reluctant. I'm telling you, it's best if you take the initiative later."
"Why do you suggest that?" Chen An asked, puzzled by Li Chunge's proposal.
"Why?"
"Hey, don't ask so many questions. Just do as I say, old man, and you'll benefit from it!"
Li Chunge whispered something to Chen An through sound transmission.
Chen An: "..."
...
"The Moon Holding Sect is ahead!"
"Eh? They've already noticed us?"
"So many people, are they waiting for us?"
"Hmph, how dare they discover us? It's probably because they know that many forces have been annihilated, and some smart people have guessed it, or it's just a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse!"
"Makes sense!"
"No need to pay attention, kill!"
"The Moon Holding Sect must be destroyed!"
"..."
A group of bald monks charged forward.
There were at least ten of them, and the weakest was at the peak of the 8th Stage.
The strongest was even a 7th-level 9th Stage Buddha!
This Buddha didn't put the Moon Holding Sect in his eyes. He naturally knew that the direct disciples of the Moon Holding Sect were powerful, almost possessing 9th Stage combat power. He was also aware that the Moon Holding Sect had several 9th Stage guest elders and friends.
But...
So what?
Ji Haoyue was merely at the initial stage of the 9th Stage.
Shi Zhongtian was the same! Hai Dongpo was a long-standing 9th Stage expert, but at most, he had the strength of the early to mid-stage. How could he possibly match up against someone in the late stage?
Not to mention, even if there were a few more 9th Stage experts, he could easily suppress them!
A mere Moon Holding Sect...
Annihilation was as easy as turning one's palm!
He chuckled and waved his hand lightly, "Let's go."
"Annihilate the Moon Holding Sect."
Soon, they approached.
Both sides confronted each other in the sky.
"You bald monks, you sure know how to pick your timing."
Lin Fan crossed his arms.
He had been wondering what this year's annual crisis would be, but he hadn't had any clues until now. But now...
There was no need for further speculation.
Obviously, these bald monks were the ones.
However, sensing their strength, Lin Fan couldn't help but twitch at the corners of his mouth.
"One small crisis every year."
"You're telling me this is a small crisis?"
"But..."
"Speaking of which..."
"If we compare the current strength of both sides, it can't really be considered a major crisis."
"Hmm..."
"After all, it doesn't seem that big a deal."
Thinking of this, Lin Fan felt relieved.
