Chapter 522: The Master's Joy (Part 2)
His speed subtly suppressed Wujiehan, the riding martial saint.
The purple-robed youth lifted his Taoist robe, and talismans with a dark red glow flickered, resembling rust or dried blood.
The iron-blooded, solemn aura emanating from the talismans caused Wujiehan, who had spent half his life on the battlefield, to feel a chill in his heart.
Numerous dark red talismans appeared, and from within, the iron-blooded glow condensed into various divine weapons such as swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks. In an instant, the weapons filled the air like a forest, as if numerous experts were attacking Wujiehan simultaneously.
Amidst the roars of the Azure Dragon Gale Beast, Wujiehan managed to defend and retreat at the same time.
Despite their swift retreat, they were still hit by the divine weapons.
Fortunately, although Wujiehan was a light cavalry, his physique as a Martial Saint was still robust.
His body radiated with layers of golden light, revealing a precious armor that protected him and his Azure Dragon Gale Beast.
However, as Yuan Mo Bai's Nine Transformations Nine Refinements Armament Talisman manifested countless divine weapons, Wujiehan felt a sudden sense of danger.
The purple-robed Taoist had just forced him back without launching a further attack, but Wujiehan felt an overwhelming sense of crisis.
As expected, in the next moment, a dark starry sky enveloped him.
...The Great Enlightenment Divine Scene of the Talisman Sect! Yuan Mo Bai and Chu Kun, master and disciple, were in perfect harmony, understanding each other without the need for words.
As Wujiehan was forced back by Yuan Mo Bai, he was immediately captured by Chu Kun's Great Enlightenment Divine Scene of Heaven and Earth Divine Realm.
Wujiehan tried to break free from the Heaven and Earth Divine Realm, but the boundless starlight had already overwhelmed him.
After capturing Wujiehan with his Great Enlightenment Divine Scene, Yuan Mo Bai did not stop. He said, "Regarding the ritual ceremony, thank you, Elder Chen."
"Elder Yuan, you're too kind," replied Chen Lingfeng, the Northern Peak Sect Leader of the Shu Mountain Sect, who had come with them.
Although he had not summoned the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Scale from the central peak, his personal treasure was extraordinary.
The Radiant Sun Robe, primarily used for defense, manifested layers of sunlight, protecting Chen Lingfeng as he approached the Ink Pool, which was about to erupt.
Despite the churning pool water constantly eroding the light of the Radiant Sun Robe, Chen Lingfeng remained calm and composed. He summoned his other treasure, the Star Locking Ring.
Using the Radiant Sun Robe to block the threats from the turbulent Ink Pool, he then utilized the Star Locking Ring to suppress its turbulence, forcing the pool not to self-destruct.
On the other side, after intercepting Wujiehan, Yuan Mo Bai stepped onto the Bridge to the Profound and flashed towards Jadilo, the Karmic Wheel Division leader, who was fleeing in another direction.
Having intercepted Wujiehan, Jadilo had the advantage. With a shift of his body, he had already left the snowy mountain.
Jadilo was a high-level Buddhist monk who had achieved the Five-Phase Union Body in the Nine Heavens and mastered the Buddhist Mudra. Not only was his spiritual cultivation profound, but his physical body was also extraordinary. With the empowerment of the Great Vajra Wheel Seal, his speed and agility were exceptional.
However, compared to when he intercepted Wujiehan, Yuan Mo Bai's speed seemed to have increased even further! This time, he did not maintain his human form but directly transformed into his true form—a black and white giant bear, towering like a mountain. He caught up with Jadilo, the Karmic Wheel Division leader.
Countless talismans, resembling stars, surrounded the giant bear, shining as bright as a galaxy.
Despite his massive body, his movements were incredibly swift, and in a flash, he reached Jadilo, slamming his giant palm down.
Jadilo, caught off guard, lost the initiative and was struck by the giant bear's claw, causing his body to tilt to one side.
The seemingly massive body of the black and white giant bear was surprisingly agile and nimble. With incredible speed, it struck again with its claw, and Jadilo, unable to block in time, found his Vajra Body violently shaking.
The green Buddhist light on his body flickered, transforming into a golden color. The purity was gone, and his Vajra Body was no longer as perfect and invulnerable as before.
Regarding Yuan Mo Bai, although he rarely ventured out in recent years, as the Grandmaster Lei's esteemed disciple in the Daoist Sect, news about him was still a priority for all sides, regardless of affiliation.
Jadilo had long known that Yuan Mo Bai excelled in physical cultivation.
However, after achieving the Nine Heavens and ascending the Bridge to the Profound, his strength still exceeded Jadilo's expectations.
His speed surpassed not only that of Wujiehan, the Martial Saint of the Nine Heavens.
Jadilo had been operating in the Great Ming human realm for a long time, and the Karmic Wheel Division had also merged with the northern border tribes.
The former tribal khan, Wujiehan's father, had cultivation and strength surpassing Wujiehan. He was a Martial Immortal of the Nine Heavens.
Although the Great Ming Dynasty had fallen, the northern border tribes were forced to retreat, but they still had many powerful experts. If not for this, they would not have been considered the number one external threat by the Great Ming's rulers and ministers for so many years.
In the clash between the two sides, the northern border tribes suffered significant losses.
Later, when Wujiehan ascended the throne, although the Great Ming Dynasty became history, the northern border tribes still had a difficult time.
Wujiehan devoted himself to cultivation, hoping to achieve the Martial Saint's Immortal Realm like his father as soon as possible, but there was still a gap to be bridged.
However, at this moment, Jadilo seemed to see the Martial Immortal reappearing.
But this was a Taoist from the Talisman Sect.
A genuine Taoist from the Talisman Sect, who excelled in physical cultivation.
After Yuan Mo Bai ascended the Bridge to the Profound, his speed became even more astonishing.
First, he forced Wujiehan into his disciple Chu Kun's Great Enlightenment Divine Scene, and then, with his speed advantage, he intercepted Jadilo. Up close, he directly struck his Vajra Body, causing it to become unstable.
Yuan Mo Bai usually kept a low profile, but he was experienced in combat. With the advantage, he showed no mercy.
His relentless attacks continued without pause, and even though Jadilo's Vajra Body was sturdy, at this moment, Yuan Mo Bai's storm of rapid and continuous strikes shattered his golden light, revealing a white Vajra Body retreating to the Circular Bright Moon Wheel.
Jadilo's reaction was not slow, and although he had lost the initiative and was struck by Yuan Mo Bai, he remained composed.
In his hand, golden light flickered, holding the Karmic Wheel Division's most precious treasure, the Cross Vajra Pestle.
This Vajra Pestle was one of the Five Vajra Pestles of the Vajra Realm, alongside the Five-Cobala Vajra Pestle of the Vajra Division and the Single Cobala Vajra Pestle of the Lotus Division.
As Jadilo used the Cross Vajra Pestle to counter and block Yuan Mo Bai's Nine Transformations Nine Refinements Armament Talisman and its myriad divine weapons, green light shone beneath his feet.
Amidst the earth-shaking roar, the colossal divine bird lifted Jadilo, avoiding Yuan Mo Bai.
This was another treasure of the Vajra Realm's Karmic Wheel Division, known as the Unborn Accomplishment Garuda Seat, alongside the Aksobhya Elephant Seat and the Amitabha Peacock Seat.
With the protection of the Unborn Accomplishment Garuda Seat, Jadilo seized the opportunity to first restore his Inner Lion Seal, healing his injuries, and then forming the Fearless Seal.
This seal was meant to instill a sense of peace and fearlessness.
As Jadilo formed the Fearless Seal, his Buddhist spiritual body instantly transformed into a Vajra Body, and under the golden light, it further changed into the unique green light of the Karmic Wheel Division.
Whether in battle or retreat, Jadilo had to ensure his own condition.
But before he could make his next move, the Unborn Accomplishment Garuda Seat shook violently, and the Garuda's light and shadow emitted a mournful wail.
The Bridge to the Profound lifted Yuan Mo Bai, quickly catching up to his opponent, and amidst the burning starlight, black and white intertwined.
In addition to the Life-Prolonging Talisman and the Nine Transformations Nine Refinements Palm Armament Talisman, Yuan Mo Bai also used the Yin-Yang Disaster-Relieving Talisman.
The Yin-Yang Bear appeared, with water and fire, yin and yang intertwining, forming a power akin to the annihilation of stars, standing in black and white, and then shattering.
The Unborn Accomplishment Garuda Seat was blasted open by Yuan Mo Bai's strike!
Jadilo steadied his mind, and without hesitation, he countered with the Great Ming King Divine Saber.
Yuan Mo Bai showed no fear, and the black and white giant bear-like Yin-Yang Star Lord Incarnation clashed head-on with the saber.
The two extremely destructive and lethal Buddhist and Daoist powers annihilated each other, neither giving way.
But with a single step forward, Yuan Mo Bai had already closed the distance to Jadilo. With the support of the Nine Transformations Nine Refinements Palm Armament Talisman and the Life-Prolonging Talisman, in close combat, Yuan Mo Bai's physical strength and life-prolonging techniques far surpassed Jadilo.
This time, without the help of the Unborn Accomplishment Garuda Seat, Yuan Mo Bai quickly overwhelmed his opponent.
As the starlight flowed, a massive city wall took shape, slowly expanding in all directions.
This was Yuan Mo Bai's Great Enlightenment Divine Scene - Milky Way Heavenly Gateway.
Its strength did not lie in capturing, especially against agile opponents.
But at this moment, Jadilo was already suppressed by Yuan Mo Bai himself.
Once he entered the Milky Way Heavenly Gateway, there would be no chance of escape.
Jadilo let out a low growl.
In addition to the Ming King's Fury, a peculiar green flame appeared.
Among the five divisions of the Vajra Realm, the Karmic Wheel Division's inheritors were not as skilled in direct offense and defense as the Vajra Division, nor were they as adept in spiritual cultivation as the Lotus Division.
But they had their own strengths.
The Karmic Wheel Division was also known as the Karma Division.
The green flame unleashed by Jadilo at this moment became the Karma Fire.
Like the Ming King's Fury, the Karma Fire harmed both the user and the target, and Jadilo would not use it lightly.
But facing Yuan Mo Bai's Milky Way Heavenly Gateway, he had no choice.
However, the dancing green flame had a unique effect, temporarily halting the trend of the starlight-transformed city wall from closing in.
Jadilo held the Cross Vajra Pestle and first formed the Single Cobala Seal to stabilize his body, then the Outer Lion Seal, counterattacking with all his might.
Yuan Mo Bai remained fearless, and as the Yin-Yang Bear clashed with the Great Ming King Divine Saber, the dark red light condensed, and all ninety-nine of the Nine Transformations Nine Refinements Palm Armament Talismans merged into one.
The dark red talismans became more refined than ever, gathering in Yuan Mo Bai's palm.
Thus, the original true form of the giant black and white bear manifested, and in its hand appeared a massive divine weapon, a thousand zhang long, capable of splitting the heavens and the earth, resembling an axe or halberd.
With Yuan Mo Bai's full-force slash, he instantly severed Jadilo's Cross Vajra Pestle!
Jadilo sighed inwardly at this sight.
The Ming King's Fury and Karma Fire simultaneously burned the already damaged Unborn Accomplishment Garuda Seat.
As Yuan Mo Bai's palm shattered Jadilo's Vajra Body, the damaged Unborn Accomplishment Garuda Seat exploded amidst the intertwining Fury and Karma Fire.
Taking advantage of this explosion to block Yuan Mo Bai, Jadilo exerted all his strength to display the Great Vajra Wheel Seal and fled into the distance.
But just as he was about to move, a purple light flashed in the distant sky, as if the Central Purple Palace Star hung in the firmament.
The purple light flashed and vanished.
The next time it appeared, it had already reached Jadilo's front!
A Daoist flying sword... from the Alchemy School or the Talisman School?!
Jadilo's eyes widened in shock, but his opponent's timing was impeccable, leaving him no chance to dodge.
Without the protection of his Vajra Body, he could only use the Circular Bright Moon Wheel to desperately defend himself.
However, the incoming sword's power was astonishing, and the Karmic Wheel Division leader Jadilo's Circular Bright Moon Wheel was shattered on the spot!
Even his spiritual body was pierced by the purple sword light.
The radiant light continued its trajectory, landing in the snowy mountains behind, causing half of the mountain to collapse.
Dust and snow flew together, and after the dust settled, a three-foot-long purple magic sword could be seen, slanted in the valley.
It was not the Purple Micro Sword of the Shu Mountain Sect.
This was Jadilo's last thought.
Severely wounded by the sword, he was then finished off by Yuan Mo Bai's palm strike.
Yuan Mo Bai didn't mind someone interfering in his battle with Jadilo; instead, he looked towards the direction from which the sword light had come, smiling and nodding:
"Perfect timing, you've captured the Grand Master's style."
After dealing with Jadilo, he wasted no time and immediately went to find the others.
In the distance, another snowy mountain had also collapsed.
It wasn't due to an attack but rather the result of the highly concentrated and refined massive amount of magnetic force accumulated here.
Countless Dual Principle Heavenly Origin Talismans were shattering.
In the collapsed valley stood a giant bear with black and white fur, slightly smaller than Yuan Mo Bai, also in its original true form, its power pushed to the extreme—Zhu Baojie.
Seizing the opportunity when Jadilo was restricted by Yuan Mo Bai, Zhu Baojie unleashed his Midheaven Sword, and with a single strike, he hit his target!
In response to Yuan Mo Bai's praise, Zhu Baojie respectfully said, "Master, your praise is too much. I dare not accept it."
He looked at the collapsed snowy mountains on both sides and the distant Jadilo, the last top-tier expert of the Western Buddhist Sect, now a lifeless body, and sighed in his heart:
Master, I can now understand some of the joy you felt.
