Chapter 552: The Demon Clan's Supreme Sage Halts at the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Great Thousand W
Chapter 552: The Demon Clan's Supreme Sage Halts at the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Great Thousand World (Part 1)
Zhang Wantong, Lei Jun, and the others currently remain in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Great Thousand World, not venturing into the Scholar Forest Great Thousand World.
Although Yan Ao Yun has temporarily sealed off the Time Abyss in the Scholar Forest Great Thousand World, Lei Jun is still in contact with Xu Yuan Zhen, Tang Xiaotang, Zhang Wantong, and Yan Ao Yun, Jiao Fei Yang, and the others.
Relatively simple information can still be conveyed smoothly.
So, through brief exchanges, Lei Jun learns that Xu Yuan Zhen and Tang Xiaotang, on one hand, assist Yan Ao Yun in guarding against further changes in the Scholar Forest Great Thousand World, and on the other, keep an eye on the Demon Capital's progress.
Yan Ao Yun forcefully breaks through the Demon Capital.
There, a vast and wondrous world unfolds.
The environment resembles the temporary cave abode that Chu Kun created within the Time Abyss, but on a much larger scale.
As the Three Realms and the Heavenly Realm re-emerge in the Scholar Forest Great Thousand World, the Demon Capital becomes severely distorted, showing signs of being unable to withstand the strain.
Yan Ao Yun's attack on the Demon Capital is not solely to restore face for the former Sage Cheng Zi or to vent his anger.
Instead of hastily destroying the entire Demon Capital, he stabilizes the realm and prevents its complete collapse while pacifying the external demons within.
His intention is to use the Demon Capital to investigate the true cause and source of the external demons.
Indeed, the Demon Capital is not an independent existence, nor is it the birthplace of the external demons.
It is more like a nest or a bridgehead where they contact the Scholar Forest Great Thousand World.
The Demon Capital, distorted by the influence of the Heavenly Realm in the Scholar Forest Great Thousand World, now benefits Yan Ao Yun in pacifying the external demons within, ensuring that none escape.
Furthermore, he successfully opens a path from the Demon Capital to the opposite side.
Over there, another Great Thousand World awaits.
As Xu Yuan Zhen and Tang Xiaotang send messages, Yan Ao Yun has already set foot in that Great Thousand World.
According to the information they possess, the name of that Great Thousand World is somewhat special.
Upon hearing this, Lei Jun is unsure whether to be surprised or to admit that he had some prior knowledge.
That world is called... the Tai Yi Great Thousand World.
"Tai Yi?" Zhao Chanyang repeats the two words, unable to hold back his surprise upon hearing Lei Jun mention them.
Tai Yi.
Throughout most of history, both before and after the ancient calamity, this term has been closely related to Daoism.
"Over there, there is a being who calls himself the Tai Yi Venerable, or the Six Heavens Tai Yi Venerable."
Lei Jun explains, "Yan Zi is currently dealing with them."
In the history of Daoism, there is the existence of the Tai Yi Great Compassion Venerable, also known as the Dongji Qinghua Emperor.
Hearing the term "Tai Yi," the group can't help but make associations.
After his initial surprise, Zhao Chanyang quickly recovers, "Tai Yi... Tai Yi?"
Zhao Chanyang is also aware of the existence of the Luofu Mountain lineage.
It is precisely because of this that he knows about the external demons' contact with Luofu Mountain and the "pollution" of its Daoist lineage.
However, according to Lei Jun, Xu Yuan Zhen, Tang Xiaotang, and others' speculations, while the other party does have some connection to the Daoist lineage, they are more closely related to the Wu Gate.
As time goes on, Xu Yuan Zhen, Tang Xiaotang, and Zhang Wantong, who have personally fought against the external demons in the Scholar Forest Great Thousand World, can better understand that the other party not only involves the Dao and Wu lineages but also carries an evil atmosphere of demonic energy.
Many strange changes occur, sparking curiosity.
However, this time, Yan Ao Yun personally enters the Tai Yi Great Thousand World through the Demon Capital, and he will surely uncover the other party's true nature.
While Lei Jun and the others contemplate the news from the Scholar Forest Great Thousand World, they continue with their own tasks.
"Activate!" Lei Jun commands.
The Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man in this Great Thousand World tremble in response.
In the Heavenly Realm, Penglai Sea hangs on the outskirts, but within the Sanqing Sanbao Fairy Land, a brilliant light shines.
At its center, a giant Taiji diagram with alternating black and white stripes unfolds, instantly seeming to envelop the entire Heavenly Realm.
In the Human Realm, a second massive black and white Taiji diagram unfolds, centered on Dragon Tiger Mountain.
In the Earth Realm, a third equally vast black and white Taiji diagram unfolds, centered on Wudu.
At this moment, the Three Caverns Three Heavens Supreme Dragon Tiger Immortal Array is activated, surpassing the scale of the previous Human-Heavenly convergence when Lei Jun faced Gao Tian in the Without Interval.
At that time, he harnessed the power of the Human and Six Heavens and Six Earths.
Now, he successfully channels the combined power of the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Great Thousand World.
The current mysterious power appears calm and peaceful, without a sense of vastness or ferocity.
Only strands of pure energy permeate the four directions, converging near Lei Jun, Zhang Wantong, and Zhao Chanyang in the Time Abyss.
Lei Jun sits calmly.
Zhang Wantong and Zhao Chanyang also exude peaceful and serene auras.
The latter two cannot manipulate the grand array, but they adapt to Lei Jun's array.
White light flickers around Zhang Wantong, resembling both a mirror and a book, enhancing her with the profoundness of a Daoist top expert, giving her a sense of being in her element even within the Daoist array.
Zhao Chanyang feels even more at ease.
The white clouds that usually surround him have dissipated, leaving only the pure energy currents of the array to conceal his figure, making him seem to have completely vanished.
...
The Demon Capital is breached.
The Tai Yi Great Thousand World is in turmoil.
The previously incessant conflicts and killings in the Demon World suddenly subside.
The battles among the three great demons temporarily cease.
However, they did not have the leisure to relax.
First was the frenzied Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree, which once again left the Demon World, seemingly disregarding the threat of its former arch-nemesis, the Great Annihilation Bodhisattva, and charging into the Time Abyss.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree's target was the Scholar Forest World.
It was as if the events of seventy years ago were repeating themselves, as the Demon Clan's Supreme Sage attempted to infiltrate the Scholar Forest World once more. But this time, there was no Zhen Baiyu inside the Scholar Forest World to link up with, nor was there the presence of their arch-nemesis, the Great Annihilation Bodhisattva.
The already frenzied Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree seemed to be acting even more illogically at this moment.
But it was only on the surface.
Whether it was Yan Ao Yun, Xu Yuan Zhen, Tang Xiaotang, and others in the Scholar Forest World, or Lei Jun and his group in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths World, they all had a clear understanding in their hearts:
The Demon Tree was indeed closely related to the extra-dimensional Demon.
To be precise, it should be considered as related to the Tai Yi World and the Tai Yi Venerable.
In the past, the Thousand-Handed Thousand-Eyed Great Sage had fallen into madness and transformed into the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree, perhaps due to the influence of the so-called Tai Yi Venerable.
Currently, the Scholar Forest World had broken through the Demon Capital, and was counterattacking the Tai Yi World.
The originally frenzied Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree seemed to have instantly gained a clear goal, attacking the Scholar Forest World and demonstrating a strategy of surrounding Wei to save Zhao.
Unfortunately, Yan Ao Yun had prepared for this.
The entrance to the Time Abyss in the Scholar Forest World was temporarily sealed and frozen by him.
Just as he had arranged in advance when he entered the Demon World, he blocked the Great Annihilation Bodhisattva from attacking at that time.
Although the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree was in a state of frenzy, constantly crashing and causing destruction, it was unable to infiltrate the Scholar Forest World in a short period of time and could only repeatedly bang on the "door."
In the abyss of time and space, two colors, purple and black, condensed and stabilized, becoming clear and distinct.
The black-colored Great Buddha was staring at the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree in the distance, which appeared even more frenzied than before, but it did not take the opportunity to sneak attack its former arch-nemesis.
At least, it did not immediately decide to do so.
Although it was cruel and violent, its power and aura could destroy all things and phenomena, it was much more rational compared to the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree.
Especially after witnessing Yan Ao Yun's entry into the Demon World and his subsequent safe return, although the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree was deeply hated, the Great Annihilation Bodhisattva did not rush to take action at this time, instead coldly observing from the sidelines.
For the Demon-Buddha lineage, due to the relationship with Kongmo Yu, the Scholar Forest World also held great attraction for them.
Even if the Great Annihilation Bodhisattva himself did not need to, his numerous disciples could potentially be of use.
At the same time, the Great Annihilation Bodhisattva was also observing the Demon Dragon Emperor on the other side.
That strange and magnificent purple starlight, instead of paying attention to the Scholar Forest World, was focusing on the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths World.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree was difficult to communicate with effectively, and the Demon Dragon Emperor was unaware of the current situation in the Scholar Forest World and the Tai Yi World.
However, Yan Ao Yun's proactive sealing of the entrance to the Time Abyss in the Scholar Forest World clearly indicated that the other party was busy with other matters, or dealing with other powerful enemies, and was unable to spare any additional resources.
Under these circumstances, the Demon Dragon Emperor naturally began to pay attention to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths World.
The Imperial Furnace, where treasures were refined, had been abandoned, nearly causing the Demon Dragon Emperor to fall into despair.
However, after years of rest and calming his mind, he was unwilling to sit and wait for his demise.
Even if it was just a faint glimmer of hope, he wanted to seize it.
But first, he needed to retrieve the Imperial Furnace.
At this moment, Yan Ao Yun seemed to be busy elsewhere, and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree's attempt to invade the Scholar Forest World was drawing his attention. The Demon Dragon Emperor saw this as an opportunity and decided to test his luck in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths World.
Due to limited information, he also lacked understanding of the current situation in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths World.
Perhaps, Yan Ao Yun might be on this side instead? Therefore, although the Demon Dragon Emperor had made up his mind, he did not immediately rush into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths World.
As the scales on his body opened and closed, countless stars shone.
The Time Abyss, which was originally chaotic and turbulent, became much calmer at this moment.
As the starlight flowed and transformed into a vast starry sea, surrounding the Demon Dragon Emperor, he seemed to be the master of the starry sky.
And as the stars shifted and moved, numerous starlights converged and gradually condensed, forming another massive purple-lighted Azure Dragon.
The Demon Dragon Emperor himself remained in the Time Abyss, and only sent this dragon-shaped avatar into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths World.
Even before the dragon avatar officially entered the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths World, it already sensed that something was amiss.
But since it had come to investigate, it decided to formally make contact with Lei Jun's Three Caverns Three Heavens Supreme Dragon Tiger Immortal Array.
The black and white Taiji Diagram rotated, engulfing the massive Azure Dragon within.
Seated within the array, Lei Jun clasped his hands in a gesture of incantation, holding it before his chest.
Zhang Wantong wielded her brush with powerful strokes.
The scene within the array distorted and changed.
As the light and shadows flickered, it seemed to recreate the initial tremors of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths reuniting as one, drawing the Demon World's Demon Dragon Emperor into the scene.
Lei Jun, having experienced the "dragon-baiting" before, left Zhao Chanyang to deal with the rebellious dragon avatar while he cooperated with Zhang Wantong to operate the array to its fullest.
Thus, with the dragon avatar as the bait, the array's rotation seemed to mimic the action of a fisherman reeling in his catch, shaking the Time Abyss.
The Demon Dragon Emperor, within the Time Abyss, felt an invisible pulling force, and despite his resistance, he was being dragged into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths World.
The Demon Dragon Emperor's purple eyes flashed, and his massive body demonstrated astonishing physical strength, counterbalancing the power of Lei Jun's array, stabilizing his form within the Time Abyss and preventing him from slipping into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths World.
As Zhang Wantong and Lei Jun worked together, a white light flashed and condensed around them, forming an exceptionally large body clad in ancient robes, enveloping the surroundings.
Although the face was not entirely clear, the silhouette of this towering figure already faintly revealed the image of the former Confucian Supreme Sage, the Ultimate Teacher.
The moment this image appeared, although not complete, it shook the heavens and the earth. Even Lei Jun's Three Caverns Three Heavens Supreme Dragon Tiger Immortal Array trembled in response.
Fortunately, both sides had communicated and practiced together many times, and their mutual understanding allowed them to adjust and avoid internal conflicts.
Earlier, when Zheng Baiyu faced Zhang Wantong's tactics, his first choice was to use the Confucian Spring and Autumn Brush, immediately interfering and restraining the Ultimate Teacher's light, making it increasingly clear.
Lei Jun, being in his own grand array, allowed Zhang Wantong to act freely.
After Lei Jun controlled the array and stalemated the Demon Dragon Emperor for a while, Zhang Wantong finally made her move.
The Ultimate Teacher's light had become quite substantial, and she directly extended a palm radiating white light, reaching into the Time Abyss.
Then, as Lei Jun's Three Caverns Three Heavens Supreme Dragon Tiger Immortal Array grappled with the Demon Dragon Emperor, the latter was directly pulled into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Grand Thousand World.
Unlike its initial position in the Demon World's Heavenly Realm within the Celestial Palace, now separated by two Grand Thousand Worlds and the complete Time Abyss.
Right at the "entrance" of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Grand Thousand World, one misstep, and Lei Jun and the others successfully "hooked the dragon."
But seeing Lei Jun and the others so well-prepared, the Demon Dragon Emperor's worries diminished.
Yan Aoyun, even in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Grand Thousand World, also struggled to maintain his clone.
"The Imperial Furnace, in your hands."
The Demon Dragon Emperor's gaze immediately locked onto Lei Jun, without much conversation, countless stars burst forth from his body, raining down like a starry shower.
Lei Jun wasted no time, pulling the Demon Dragon Emperor into the array, and the Three Caverns Five Tribulations Supreme Mystic Sword struck down upon him.
The power of the array, stronger than when facing the High Heaven's Sui, caused the Supreme Mystic Sword's might to surge accordingly, and its blade was unstoppable.
However, the Demon Dragon Emperor's body shifted unpredictably, and with a swift movement, he avoided Lei Jun's sword, which was formed from the pure and vast spiritual energy. Lei Jun's heart exclaimed in admiration at the sight.
The Demon Dragon Emperor, despite being inferior to Yan Aoyun, was far beyond the capabilities of any ordinary Immortal Plane Third Level cultivator.
As the Three Caverns Three Heavens Supreme Dragon Tiger Immortal Array unfolded, the pure energy spread, and normally, the space and time within the array would distort, restricting the actions of Martial Immortal Emperors and other high-level cultivators from various Daoist traditions.
Although the Demon Dragon Emperor was temporarily sealed within the array and couldn't retreat back to the Time Abyss, his movements within the array were still relatively unrestricted.
Not only did he evade Lei Jun's sword, but as his body's scales opened and closed, countless specks of light fell, scattering and forming a massive star cloud.
This star cloud faintly formed a small maze, intending to counter Lei Jun's array from within.
Although the Demon Dragon Emperor was currently suppressed by Lei Jun's array, it still provided him with a larger space to maneuver.
As Lei Jun's sword slashed through the star cloud, his sword's edge turned, and he effortlessly eliminated a large portion of the star cloud's light and dust!
