Chapter 507: Celestial Master's Divine Art Advanced Edition (506) (Part 1)





"Ling Zhao Zhenjun is in trouble?" Chu Kun's expression turned solemn.

In that demon world, the demonic energy and malevolent aura dominated, suppressing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Those who cultivated the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would inevitably face some degree of suppression within it.

However, Zhao Chanya's situation was different. Not only was he the most stable among the Furnace Cauldron Sect cultivators, who relied the least on their environment, but with his exceptional talent, understanding, and current cultivation realm, even in the demon world, he could still fight against enemies and continue his daily cultivation without hindrance.

Moreover, Zhao Chanya's dual-layered primordial spirit was vastly different from other Furnace Cauldron Sect cultivators with dual-layered primordial spirits.

Regarding this, the most knowledgeable person would undoubtedly be Ge Xuanzhi, who was at the same cultivation level.

Not only Ge Xuanzhi, but even facing the Venerable of the Sea of Suffering, Zhao Chanya, though unable to defeat him, could still maneuver with ease.

Even a powerful cultivator at the third level of the Celestial Realm, like Gao Tian Sui and Zheng Baiyu, might find it challenging to pose a threat to Zhao Chanya, who was currently at the second level of the Celestial Realm.

If Zhao Chanya were to encounter trouble, the first thing that came to Chu Kun's mind was the legendary Demon Dragon Emperor in the demon world's heavenly realm.

"It is said to be related to the Demon Dragon Emperor, but the specific situation is unclear."

Lei Jun spoke up, "Little Senior Sister has also lost contact with Zhao Zhenren. However, based on her previous trip to the heavenly realm, all signs indicate that although Zhao Zhenren has encountered some trouble, he is temporarily unharmed."

Chu Kun asked, "What about Tang Xiaotang now?"

Lei Jun replied, "Little Senior Sister's luck is both good and bad. The bad luck is that she couldn't find Zhao Zhenren on this trip to the heavenly realm, and the good luck is that she has recently received news about what she's been looking for."

Chu Kun understood, "A treasure to enhance understanding to the natural level?"

Lei Jun explained, "Little Senior Sister has already accumulated a lot, and she is just one step away from elevating her tranquil understanding to the natural level. It seems that she now has the opportunity to take that final step."

His gaze shifted to the Time Abyss, "According to the message she sent earlier, she hasn't obtained the item yet, and I hope she succeeds soon."

...

The demon world was filled with dangers, so Lei Jun didn't dare to contact Tang Xiaotang casually, as it might disturb her.

In fact, Tang Xiaotang was indeed engaged in a fierce battle with her opponent at that moment.

Although such situations weren't uncommon over the years, the current circumstances were special.

A uniquely shaped spirit flower was floating in the dimly lit abyssal valley.

The flower had seven petals, and its color was not vibrant, but rather, it appeared hazy like chaos. Below the flower, transparent tendrils extended into the distance, as if probing deep into the void.

Near the flower and the tendrils, at the bottom of the abyss, there was a bizarre valley formed by the distortion of time and space, leading to an immeasurable place.

It was clearly the Time Abyss located in this demon world.

At that moment, Tang Xiaotang was above the Time Abyss, facing the spirit flower, and confronting a strange demon with unwavering determination.

The demon, at first glance, appeared massive, suspended in mid-air, occupying an area of several acres, but it had no physical body.

All that Tang Xiaotang could see was a single enormous eye.

The entire body of this demon was just this eye, and within the giant eye, a demonic light flickered.

Upon closer inspection, the massive body seemed illusory, as if it didn't exist in this world, making it difficult to touch or comprehend.

Although it appeared fragile and thin, ordinary cultivators at the first level of the Celestial Realm found it challenging for their attacks to land on that giant eye.

Earlier, Tang Xiaotang's Supreme Vessel had rushed through, as if passing through an illusion, directly penetrating that eye without any contact.

With such a skill, it was indeed not comparable to a Demon Sage of the first level... Tang Xiaotang thought to herself.

Her eyes gleamed, and with an empty grip, the Reverse Yuan Sword, empowered by the inverted Primordial Chaos, immediately slashed down from mid-air.

The giant eye in front of her rippled and swayed in the air, and this time, instead of ignoring her, it automatically disappeared to dodge Tang Xiaotang's sword, causing her strike to miss.

However, when the giant eye reappeared, the void where Tang Xiaotang was standing became extremely distorted.

The entire space twisted and collapsed, threatening to bury Tang Xiaotang within it.

The Supreme Vessel under Tang Xiaotang's feet flashed with light, resonating with the Reverse Yuan Robe formed by the inverted Primordial Chaos on her body. The combination of their spiritual nature and cultivation power created an incredibly powerful defensive force, suppressing the tearing force caused by the collapsing and twisting void.

With a flash of the Supreme Vessel, Tang Xiaotang managed to break free from the influence of the one-eyed demon sage's demonic power.

In the giant eye of the one-eyed demon sage, there was calmness without any visible emotion.

But the light flickering in the eye was intensely agitated, revealing a wild and unrestrained demeanor, causing those around to feel a sense of restlessness.

However, Tang Xiaotang remained exceptionally calm.

As the Supreme Vessel, which had merged with the mysteries of her Heaven-Eye Technique, trembled slightly, it also hinted to her that there was another threat approaching from a different direction.

Tang Xiaotang's eyebrows furrowed, and both she and the seemingly massive Supreme Vessel beneath her feet became incredibly agile, disappearing from their original positions.

Almost simultaneously, a huge black shadow emerged from the abyss and swiftly passed by.

Its speed was so fast that even if one noticed it, there would be no time to react.

A colossal black Kun, as vast as the land itself, leaped out of the abyss and transformed into an Azure Feathered Peng, soaring into the sky.

In that single leap, the Kun's majestic power and the Peng's swiftness and agility were perfectly combined.

This was not a demon from the demon world but the Celestial Peng, a demon sage from the same Nine Heavens and Ten Earths as Tang Xiaotang.

The Celestial Peng's target was also that peculiar spirit flower.

The flower was currently leaning towards Tang Xiaotang, but due to the presence of the one-eyed demon sage, Tang Xiaotang couldn't move it away while evading.

The Celestial Peng wasn't surprised that its attack had missed.

The first time they fought over the Empty Mulberry, he had already encountered Tang Xiaotang.

Back then, Tang Xiaotang hadn't even ascended to the Celestial Realm, but even when facing Celestial Realm experts, she often displayed an uncanny ability to avoid danger, as if she had foreknowledge.

Although the Celestial Peng's cultivation had improved since then, Tang Xiaotang had also reached the second level of the Celestial Realm, and her cultivation and power had skyrocketed.

However, as she evaded the Celestial Peng's attack, she inevitably loosened her control over the peculiar spirit flower.

The Celestial Peng, in the form of the Azure Feathered Peng, opened its mouth and let out a long cry.

The spirit flower paused in mid-air but it wasn't sucked into the Celestial Peng's mouth. Instead, it drifted away.

As the Celestial Peng prepared to pursue, the void beside it rippled, and a massive divine ship reappeared—it was Tang Xiaotang, stepping on the Supreme Vessel, returning to the scene.

The equally enormous divine ship collided with the Celestial Peng's massive body.

The abyss trembled with a deafening roar, and large sections collapsed and disintegrated.

Tang Xiaotang's Reverse Yuan Sword immediately slashed towards the Celestial Peng.

Azure Feathered Peng's body continued its rapid flight forward.

With its speed fully unleashed, Tang Xiaotang, who was slightly inferior in cultivation realm, still seemed to pale in comparison.

But before the Celestial Peng Demon Saint could gain any distance, Tang Xiaotang's sword had already descended upon it.

In the eyes of the Celestial Peng Demon Saint, it was as if the sun and moon were rising together, alternating continuously.

The transformation of Yin and Yang, the reunion of the Two Primordial Forces, and the mysterious power of the ancient chaos reappeared.

With its cultivation realm elevated to the second level of the Demon Saint realm, the Celestial Peng Demon Saint's formidable Demon Energy also improved, giving birth to an even more powerful innate ability.

A chaotic cloud enveloped the surroundings, covering the massive body of the Celestial Peng Demon Saint.

With a single slash of the Reverse Yuan Sword, the contradictions and paradoxes of the chaos were revealed, and instead of blocking the attack, the chaos began to expand, making it difficult to shield the Celestial Peng Demon Saint.

However, with this block, the Celestial Peng Demon Saint successfully intercepted Tang Xiaotang's sword.

But its body also froze slightly in mid-air, no longer displaying the previous swift and fierce momentum.

Tang Xiaotang held the sword in one hand, while the other reached out towards a Spirit Flower in the distant sky.

With the Reverse Primordial Chaos transformed into the Reverse Yuan Seal, it enveloped the Spirit Flower.

However, the Reverse Yuan Seal immediately shook, causing the surrounding void to violently distort and collapse.

In the distance, the enormous eye of the One-Eyed Demon Sage shone with a strange demonic glow, and instead of destroying the Spirit Flower, it warped space to transfer it closer to itself.

"Where do you think you're going!" Tang Xiaotang pressed her palm down again.

As the Reverse Yuan Seal and the Demon Energy of the One-Eyed Demon Sage clashed, the void truly distorted.

The peculiar Spirit Flower was shattered by the struggle between the two forces.

The strange flower itself transformed into a stream of light, soaring into the sky and flying towards the distance.

The numerous vines connected to the Spirit Flower quickly retracted, drawn by the Time Abyss at the bottom of the deep valley, and began to flow into the Time Abyss.

The enormous eye of the One-Eyed Demon Sage continued to emit a strange demonic glow.

Surrounding it were other demons and monsters under its command, who had previously been hesitant to approach due to the confrontation between the three Celestial Realm experts, but now they rushed into the Time Abyss.

The One-Eyed Demon Sage's massive yet illusory body disappeared into the void, heading towards the distant Spirit Flower.

The Celestial Peng Demon Saint saw that the Spirit Flower and the vines had separated, and although they were both supreme treasures, after comparing the two, it ultimately chose the vines that were being drawn into the Time Abyss.

But before it could make any move, the Supreme Vessel beneath Tang Xiaotang's feet collided with its massive body once again, causing both sides to tremble.

The Celestial Peng Demon Saint's body transformed, changing from the Azure Feathered Peng back into the black giant Kun.

Among the second-tier Great Demons in the Celestial Realm, its formidable physical strength was exceptional, and it unleashed its power without restraint.

At this moment, Tang Xiaotang retracted her Reverse Yuan Seal and Reverse Yuan Robe.

With the Reverse Primordial Chaos technique, she infused her entire body with the Primordial Energy of Tai Yi, transforming it all into the Reverse Yuan Sword, concentrating her formidable power into a single point to attack the Celestial Peng Demon Saint.

Even though the black giant Kun, the transformed form of the Celestial Peng Demon Saint, also possessed formidable defense, it was still slashed by Tang Xiaotang's sword.

However, this Great Demon was truly ferocious, and between the blinking of its eyes, it extinguished Yin and Yang, revealing the form of chaos, but instead of using it to protect itself, it concentrated all its power, as if an underwater storm was erupting towards the sky.

As Tang Xiaotang focused her power on the attack, her defense weakened, and the Supreme Vessel was also damaged by the underwater storm, appearing as if it might sink at any moment, and her body also sustained injuries.

With the separation of chaos, Tang Xiaotang felt for a moment that her divine abilities seemed to have vanished, and her mortal body was thrown into the universe.

Then, Yin and Yang reappeared, and extreme heat and cold intertwined, as if she were simultaneously enduring the cold of deep space and the scorching heat of the stars.

Tang Xiaotang's body seemed to suffer both burns and frostbite at the same time.

She did not retreat in the slightest.

The invisible sword in her hand continued forward, and wherever it went, chaos reversed, creation turned upside down, and extreme distortion formed a terrifying force.

The chaotic cloud protecting the Celestial Peng Demon Saint was also unable to withstand the attack, and a huge and mournful wound opened up, as if its body had been gutted.

The two figures crossed paths in mid-air.

The Celestial Peng Demon Saint had no intention of further entanglement with Tang Xiaotang, as the Spirit Flower was already beyond hope, and it was determined to obtain the vines that were being drawn into the Time Abyss.

The One-Eyed Demon Sage had already ordered its subordinates to act, and they rushed into the Time Abyss ahead of it.

Within the Time Abyss, time and space were not uniform, and there was a possibility of later arrivals reaching their destination first.

However, it was also possible that those who entered later would experience slower time.

At this moment, the Celestial Peng Demon Saint dared not delay, even though it had been heavily injured by Tang Xiaotang's sword. It transformed back into the black giant Kun, spreading its wings and traversing the void to plunge into the Time Abyss.

Tang Xiaotang glared at the Celestial Peng Demon Saint, but for once, she did not recklessly pursue it.

In comparison, the Spirit Flower was more important to her.

While suppressing her injuries, she restored the Supreme Vessel to its original state and pursued the Spirit Flower and the One-Eyed Demon Sage, who were flying away in the distance.

However, while pursuing them, she first sent a message to Lei Jun and the others in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands of the Demon Megaverse.

The Time Abyss was in turmoil and might lead to more than one Demon Megaverse.

Tang Xiaotang was not certain that the vines would flow towards Lei Jun and the others.

Although this object was more important to the Demon Race, Tang Xiaotang thought of Lei Jun's preparations and speculated that it could also be of use.

............................................................

On the other side of the Time Abyss, within the Guizang.

Lei Jun was quietly cultivating and practicing his arts.

Suddenly, his heart stirred, and he looked towards the Time Abyss.

Also by the side of the Time Abyss was his third senior brother, Chu Kun.

Chu Kun, while cultivating, was still pondering the possible connections between the Time Abyss and himself.

Therefore, he also vaguely sensed that the Time Abyss seemed to emit an unusual sound.

"Senior Brother?" Chu Kun called out.

Lei Jun nodded slightly, indicating that his perception was not mistaken.

Then, as the Time Abyss rippled, a strange stream of light poured out.

When the stream of light became clear and stable, it was revealed to be transparent vines.

The vines shimmered with flowing light, emitting a dense and evil demonic aura.

Lei Jun's eyes flashed slightly, and some thoughts emerged in his mind.

Chu Kun stared at the Time Abyss and saw that as the vines extended, another figure began to emerge from the chaotic spacetime abyss.

This figure had one hand on the vine, and its appearance was peculiar—it had the head of a dragon and the body of a human, but only the upper half was human, while the lower half remained like a dragon or snake.

It had two arms but no legs, and its entire body was covered in black scales that emitted a faint glow, exuding a powerful and evil demonic aura. Its eyes did not show any signs of madness, but they were filled with a cold and bloodthirsty gaze.

Chu Kun deliberately scanned the figure's neck and wrists, and he saw that the demon's neck also had a bead that had turned completely black.

"Since it hasn't reached the Demon Saint realm, you can handle it. I'll take a look at those demon vines first," Lei Jun said.

Chu Kun replied, "Alright."

Just as he had realized when communicating with Lei Jun and the others, some divine abilities and techniques required actual combat to perfect and deduce.

Below the Thunder Emperor City, Lei Jun was present, allowing Chu Kun to act without hesitation.

Without a moment's hesitation, Chu Kun immediately approached the Demon.

The Demon, originally dragging the vines, sensed its arrival in another Demon Megaverse, and amidst its cold cruelty, it revealed a vigilant stance.

As soon as Chu Kun moved, the Demon became aware.

Without hesitation, the Demon abandoned the vines it had not yet managed to suppress and tried to retreat back to the Time Abyss.

Its speed was not slow.

However, Chu Kun's movements were faster than it had anticipated.

Having trained together with Lei Jun under Yuan Mo Bai, they shared common traits despite their different paths.

For instance, both possessed formidable physical strength and life-force cultivation.

Chu Kun couldn't surpass Lei Jun's dominance over martial artists of the same realm, nor could he overlook opponents from other Dao traditions with higher cultivation levels.

But from the life-force talismans like the Self-Strike Talisman and Ride Wind Talisman, to the life-force techniques like the Stepping on the Trigrams and Heaven and Earth Shift Talisman, and finally to the life-force divine abilities like the Doumu Star Deity Formation.

Through consistent diligent practice, Chu Kun instantly shortened the distance between himself and the Demon, and before the Demon could retreat to the Time Abyss, he raised his hand.

In an instant, darkness enveloped the surroundings, and the stars and moon lost their light.

Chu Kun had a treasure that he had been constantly improving and perfecting, known as the Star and Moon Light-Extinguishing Banner.

Internally, it could protect him and conceal his movements.

Externally, it could trap and capture enemies.

However, the half-human, half-dragon Demon seemed to have sensed Chu Kun's intentions beforehand and avoided being caught in the Star and Moon Light-Extinguishing Banner.

But in doing so, it also moved away from the Time Abyss.

Outside the Time Abyss, Chu Kun, as a high-level Daoist Talisman Sect cultivator, unleashed his Supreme Dao View.

The dazzling Supreme Dao View enveloped the half-human, half-dragon Demon.

Chu Kun wondered if this was a Demon transformed from a Buddhist monk who had fallen into demonic ways...

The Demon seemed to have perceived his intentions.

The intricacies of this situation were similar to the "Yi" of Confucian classics and the mind-reading abilities of Buddhist monks.

However, Chu Kun was also a Ninth Heaven cultivator, and with their similar cultivation levels, the Demon couldn't sense all his thoughts and every new idea. So, although it avoided the Star and Moon Light-Extinguishing Banner, it was still captured by Chu Kun's Supreme Dao View.

At this moment, combining the Demon's formidable physical attack and defense with its speed, Chu Kun gradually understood its strength.

Once the Dragon Demon entered Chu Kun's Supreme Dao View, the surrounding dark void was filled with vast and brilliant starlight, as if countless stars had gathered before his eyes, forming a ring of encirclement.

Chu Kun's Life Star Deity stood tall in the center of the starry river, like the master of the universe.

With the situation at hand, the Dragon Demon's gaze became even calmer.

And even colder and crueler.

As its figure suddenly flashed, it took the initiative to charge towards Chu Kun.

Both sides engaged in close combat within Chu Kun's Supreme Dao View.

The Demon, instead of retreating, attacked, and Chu Kun immediately felt the difference from before.

Its agile figure, coupled with formidable physical attack and defense, made it a formidable opponent.

Especially the black scales covering its body, which not only withstood Chu Kun's Life Star Deity attacks but also endured the bombardment from the surrounding stars."

Within Chu Kun's Supreme Dao View, each bright and large star contained blazing flames.

In the flames, numerous talismans accumulated.

As the power of these talismans erupted, stars fell like rain, as if the Milky Way was swirling, attacking the Demon alongside Chu Kun's Life Star Deity.
