Chapter 561: Chapter 560. Ten Immortals of the Celestial Master Manor, Slaying the Great Sage Lei Zhongyun (Part 2)

This time, the hammer came down with great force, and the Demon Lord Ao Lie struggled to resist.

But the result was not just one hammer.

Instead... there were many hammers.

Large and small, they had everything, like a torrential downpour.

The smallest was the Starry Sky Golden Hammer, with a fixed size but the most in number, countless like the stars in the sky, impossible to count.

The medium-sized was the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Hammer, with a size that changed unpredictably, and there were also hundreds and thousands of them.

The largest was the Wish-Fulfilling Primal Chaos Hammer, with the fewest in number but the greatest power. This treasure was not just one!

Over the years, especially recently, with the unexpected discovery of rich Wish-Fulfilling Golden Iron ore in the Pure Land, Han Xiao Fei had accumulated a fortune.

And at this moment, her years of accumulation burst forth within her Mystic Barrier of the Dao Realm, the Wild of Wishes, instantly overwhelming Ao Lie.

The Great Yi Shaman Sovereign's lineage of Youwai Tianmo had a strong regenerative ability.

But now, within the Wild of Wishes, no matter how many times the Demon Lord Ao Lie was reborn and struggled, he was pounded into powder by this continuous and impenetrable "rainstorm" and eventually turned to ashes, ceasing to exist!

However, with no way out, the demons fought desperately, unleashing astonishing destructive power.

Battles raged everywhere, and casualties quickly emerged among the human cultivators.

While Chi Haifeng and Han Xiao Fei encountered Wang Dianchen and Ao Lie, the top-notch Youwai Tianmo, Yunxuzhu, who was even more powerful than Ao Lie, was fighting against the top scholar, Shao Bowen, who had also reached the second level of the immortal realm.

Both were high-level experts, just one step away from reaching the third level of the immortal realm, and they were highly anticipated in the Tai Yi Great Thousand World and the Scholar Forest World. In the past, they had been regarded as the most likely to attain the third level of the immortal realm in recent years.

However, before that could happen, the Great Thousand World Unification Cataclysm erupted, shaking the entire universe. They were all drawn into it, and in their narrow encounter, Yunxuzhu emerged victorious, while Shao Bowen's stele shattered, leaving no hope for resurrection. He perished in the battle to stop the demons from destroying the sealing formation.

But Yunxuzhu also had a difficult time. Before he could move forward, a purple-clothed Daoist, who had just finished killing other demons, approached at high speed.

Just as Han Xiao Fei had encountered Ao Lie earlier, Yunxuzhu now faced an opponent he had met once before.

When he had covered Ao Lie's retreat, he had encountered Chu Kun.

However, at that time, Chu Kun was still at the first level of the immortal realm, but with numbers on his side, and with Yunxuzhu and the other demons focused on retreating back to the Tai Yi Great Thousand World, the two sides only had a brief clash.

Yunxuzhu was a third-level immortal realm demon who had already perished at the hands of Yan Ao Yun, surpassing other Youwai Tianmo in recent years. He possessed the wisdom of the Shaman Sovereign and the root bone of the Spirit Lord.

In terms of talent and foundation, he was even superior to Chu Kun in the past.

And now, Chu Kun's cultivation had successfully reached the second level of the immortal realm, and through the opportunity of the Seven Treasures Pillars, he had further enhanced his wisdom, reaching the same level as Yunxuzhu.

Yunxuzhu, on the other hand, was only about ten years away from achieving the third level of the immortal realm. If he could survive this crisis and find a chance to rest and recuperate, he might attain the third level of the immortal realm within the next few years.

In this narrow encounter, Yunxuzhu's eyes were cold and calm, revealing no emotions, resembling the Great Yi Shaman Sovereign.

Although the aftermath of his battle with Shao Bowen was not light, Yunxuzhu showed no hesitation. Even though he was trying to break through the encirclement, he took the initiative to attack Chu Kun first.

Chu Kun, the elder of Longhu Mountain, instead of taking the initiative, chose to adopt a defensive stance from the moment he encountered his opponent, even though the opponent was already injured.

His cautious demeanor made it seem as if he, the elder, was the one who had sustained injuries.

Yunxuzhu unleashed his demonic technique, Demon Battle, and launched an attack on Chu Kun.

Chu Kun's current display of divine abilities went beyond the descriptions of Star Coffin and Star Tomb. Amidst the alternating light and darkness, the entity blocking Yunxuzhu resembled an immense starry mausoleum.

As the Star Mausoleum blocked Yunxuzhu, Chu Kun quietly unfolded his Dao Realm Mystic Barrier, Galaxy Divine State.

However, Yunxuzhu was prepared, and his Demon Diagram, Ten Thousand Demon Diagram, also unfolded. The transformed stars, following an evil, cold, yet uniquely wondrous orbital path, formed an array that subtly merged the traditions of the Witchcraft Sect and the Taoist School, not only stopping Chu Kun's Galaxy Divine State but also attempting to erode it.

Unexpectedly, Chu Kun's Star Mausoleum, which appeared sturdy, crumbled under Yunxuzhu's assault in the blink of an eye.

Yunxuzhu, sensing something amiss, halted his advance.

But it was too late.

At the center of the shattered Star Mausoleum, a nine-colored radiance soared into the sky. At the source of the radiance stood a palace that seemed to embody both solidity and intricacy.

The palace wasn't particularly large, but its seven pillars, aligned with the principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, were extraordinarily profound. The carvings of mountains, rivers, the sun, the moon, the earth, and the netherworld adorned it, a masterpiece of craftsmanship that seemed capable of nurturing life and supporting the universe, giving birth to all things and phenomena.

At the very center of the palace stood Chu Kun's Nine-Flower Kunyuan Cauldron.

The palace itself was the restored Seven Treasures Mother Dao Palace, which Chu Kun had repaired.

Previously, when it existed independently, the Nine-Flower Kunyuan Cauldron's function leaned more towards assistance and daily cultivation.

Now, combined with the Seven Treasures Mother Dao Palace, it revealed a formidable power rarely seen before.

The Seven Treasures Imperial Chamber of the Earthly Empress of the Past reappeared in the mortal realm.

The nine-colored radiance emanating from it was awe-inspiring.

Yunxuzhu, though alert, was enveloped by the radiance.

Within this boundless radiance, an illusory image of the Earthly Realm's Underworld appeared.

In the Underworld, a figure resembling the Earthly Empress of the Past sat with dignity, but it was Lei Jun's true body of the Earthly Empress.

The complete true body of the Earthly Empress originated from one of the six true bodies of the Immortal Realm's triple-heaven Taoist Celestial Lord Lei Jun. At this moment, it was as if the Celestial Lord Lei Jun himself had descended and manifested the true body of the Earthly Empress, capable of a formidable display of power, even if only for a brief period.

Such a situation was extremely rare, akin to Lei Jun's Jade Clarity Cyclic Law Mirror, which, after undergoing multiple refinements, could reflect the Jiazi Immortal City.

Even rarer was the ability to accommodate the true body of the Earthly Empress.

Chu Kun's restoration of the Seven Treasures Imperial Chamber had already made it one of the most valuable treasures in the mortal realm, with astonishing power. With Lei Jun's assistance, even though Yunxuzhu was drawn into the Earthly Realm's Underworld, he had no means of escape.

Although it wasn't as domineering as the Celestial Emperor's true body, the Earthly Empress's true body was formidable, heavy, and omnipresent. With a clap of her palms, she trapped Yunxuzhu within!

Under the immense pressure of boundless power, the numerous demon stars of the Ten Thousand Demon Diagram were as fragile as eggs, shattering one after another.

The projection of the Seven Treasures Imperial Chamber in the Earthly Realm's Underworld, distorted by time and space, also affected Yunxuzhu, twisting and tearing at his soul.

Elder Chu had carefully concealed this powerful move within his Star Mausoleum, but when the time came to unleash it, he held nothing back.

Although he seemed capable of challenging Yunxuzhu in various aspects, Chu Kun never considered engaging in a prolonged battle to test his opponent's abilities.

With such powerful treasures, it was best to use them without hesitation, preferably defeating the enemy with the first move.

Yunxuzhu was no ordinary opponent, capable of competing with some of the strongest cultivators in the Immortal Realm's triple heaven.

However, being injured and then falling into Chu Kun's trap had sealed his fate. At best, he could only prolong his resistance, forcing his opponent to pay a higher price.

In the distance, another great battle within the sealing formation was drawing to a close.

Thirty years ago, during the encounter triggered by Han Xiao Fei and the Demon Capital's Ao Lie, two other participants, Yuan Mo Bai and the Demon Capital's Li Mo, were both at the first level of the Immortal Realm.

This wasn't their first encounter; they had clashed in previous battles against the Demon Capital.

Now, as they fought again, both had reached higher realms.

Li Mo's attacking speed was extraordinary. Possessing the Witchcraft Sect's Spirit Lord root bone, he shared similarities with the Taoist School's Universe Light Immortal Body, giving him an advantage over most cultivators of the same level from the Talisman School.

However, his opponent, Yuan Mo Bai, had a formidable physical body and life-preserving techniques, allowing him to move with ease as if teleporting through space.

Even a powerful cultivator like Li Mo found it challenging to break through Yuan Mo Bai's sealing formation.

Wherever Yuan Mo Bai stood, starlight shone brilliantly, and countless weapons surrounded him, as if summoning an army to charge and surround the enemy, constantly squeezing Li Mo's space for retreat.

In the end, Li Mo had nowhere to retreat.

The majestic city of the Dao Realm Mystic Barrier, Galaxy Divine State, not only moved towards the enemy but also surrounded and blocked him from all directions.

Li Mo, in addition to his Spirit Lord-level root bone, possessed the Witchcraft Sect's Dragon-level wisdom.

He countered each of Yuan Mo Bai's moves, maintaining his position without losing ground. However, his space for action continued to shrink, and he was about to be captured by Yuan Mo Bai's Dao Realm Mystic Barrier.

...Something was amiss.

Li Mo's expression remained unchanged, but his thoughts raced. Although he wasn't a Taoist cultivator, he quickly understood the reason:

After Yuan Mo Bai's cultivation reached the second level of the Immortal Realm's Profound Mystery, Taiwei, his Taiwei Celestial Region had undergone a significant change compared to his time in the Celestial Market. It could now harmonize with the Divine Palace Universes and Dao Realms of other cultivators from the Talisman School.

Normally, this ability would only work on cultivators of the same or lower level.

What made Yuan Mo Bai special was his personal disciple from the Purple Tenuity Celestial Region.

It wasn't uncommon for a disciple to surpass their master.

However, it was less common for a Taoist cultivator from the Taiwei Celestial Region to have a disciple from the Purple Tenuity Celestial Region.

With their exceptional wisdom, Lei Jun, Yuan Mo Bai, and others carefully studied this phenomenon, leading to an unprecedented transformation rarely seen in history.

By resonating with the Dao Realm Mystic Barriers of other cultivators from the Talisman School, Yuan Mo Bai could benefit from the triple-heaven cultivator Lei Jun, manifesting strength beyond theoretical levels.

In his own words:

"There are many ways to prepare for old age, and disciples can be helpful even when not by your side."

As the starlight flickered, Li Mo, with his superior root bone and cultivation, could only watch helplessly as he was captured by Yuan Mo Bai's Dao Realm Mystic Barrier, Galaxy Divine State.

Besides Lei Jun, Xu Yuan Zhen, and Tang Xiaotang, seven Taoist cultivators from the same sect—Yuan Mo Bai, Chu Kun, Zhuo Baojie, Han Xiao Fei, Chi Haifeng, Qin Ca Wei, and Cheng Rongrong—joined the battle, sweeping away the demons.

The ten immortals from the Celestial Master Manor shook the heavens.

Even Wang Guiyuan, who had manifested the golden body of the Law-abiding Venerable, and Kang Ming, the head of the Huatian Dao's Talisman School, joined the battle.

Additionally, Lian Feng was killed by Zhang Wantong, and Ruan Qiao was slain by Shen Xi of the Shu Mountain Sect.

Wang Dianchen perished due to Chi Haifeng.

Some call it fate, and now, except for Gao Tian Sui, whose situation remains unclear, all the old members of the Celestial Palace have perished, their bones buried in the void.

However, as numerous demons and former members of the Celestial Palace struggled to break free from the sealing formation, there were other entities that went against the flow, not fleeing into the void but instead, penetrating into a great world within.

The shamanic formation of Taiyi Shaman Sovereign was countered by Lei Jun and others, trapping the numerous demons who had set up the formation with him. From the very beginning, the Demon Dragon Emperor and the Great Annihilation Bodhisattva tried to retreat and stay out of the matter.

Although they were also affected by the fusion of several great worlds, they had relatively more freedom.

The Great Annihilation Bodhisattva remained still, coldly observing the situation.

On the other hand, the Demon Dragon Emperor rushed towards the human realm within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths World.

It could sense that Tai Xuan Qing Ping was currently there.

Moreover, faintly, there seemed to be something related to Tai Xuan Qing Ping in that world.

It might also be pointing towards the Taoist Wuji opportunity.

Seeing that Lei Jun and others were temporarily stalemated with the Imperial Garden World they wanted to unseal, the Demon Dragon Emperor took a risk and did not retreat immediately. Instead, he went to search for treasures like Tai Xuan Qing Ping.

If he could successfully obtain them, even if the Imperial Garden truly broke free from its seal, he could continue to hide and wait for future changes.

Accompanying the Demon Dragon Emperor into the human realm of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths World were some of the great demons who had previously been under his command in the Jingtu World's heavenly realm.

When the Demon Dragon Emperor was forced to leave the Jingtu World, other great demons also found it difficult to maintain their presence in that great world. Some were exterminated by Xu Yuan Zhen, Tang Xiaotang, Wang Guiyuan, and Venerable Hui Yin, while others followed the Demon Dragon Emperor out of the Jingtu World.

Among them were top-tier powerful beings from the demon race who, despite outwardly submitting, inwardly did not truly respect the Demon Dragon Emperor, including the Heaven-Defying Tiger King, a Triple-Realm Demon Saint.

Even now, the ambitious Heaven-Defying Tiger King did not fully trust the Demon Dragon Emperor.

However, the situation was extremely perilous, and they needed to cooperate to survive.

On the other hand, the Heaven-Defying Tiger King was also interested in the opportunities within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths World.

Therefore, it followed the Demon Dragon Emperor and other great demons into that world.

Upon their arrival, they were naturally met with resistance from the local top cultivators.

While the Heaven-Defying Tiger King eyed everything before him with malicious intent, it also remained cautious, constantly monitoring the Demon Dragon Emperor's movements.

Suddenly, it felt that it had lost track of the Demon Dragon Emperor's whereabouts.

This was not surprising given the Demon Dragon Emperor's superior cultivation. The Heaven-Defying Tiger King calmed down and headed in the direction where the Demon Dragon Emperor had disappeared.

But as soon as it approached that area, a bright light like the rising sun illuminated its surroundings, and amidst the colorful glow, a six-foot-tall golden phoenix appeared in the Heaven-Defying Tiger King's perception.

The newcomer also noticed the Heaven-Defying Tiger King.

Zhao Chanyang needed to prepare an alternative plan to assist Lei Jun and Xu Yuan Zhen, so Phoenix Fengming remained on the outskirts to guard against other unforeseen events.

At this moment, the encounter between a triple-realm immortal and a triple-realm demon, both non-human experts, was unexpected, but without hesitation, they immediately clashed fiercely.

Compared to the phoenix Fengming, who resembled the rising sun, the Heaven-Defying Tiger King's entire body was engulfed in a surge of malevolent demonic energy and icy starlight, like the descent of the Seven Kill Star from the heavens, exuding a chilling aura of iron and blood that shattered the formation.

However, it was instantly dispelled by the warm sunlight.

In the heavenly realm of the Jingtu World, the Heaven-Defying Tiger King was known as the second most powerful demon after the Demon Dragon Emperor.

Especially in terms of offensive capabilities, it lived up to its reputation as one of the top beings among the three great demons in the entire Jingtu World.

But at this moment, the gale force that tore through the sky amidst the twinkling stars landed beside Phoenix Fengming without causing any harm.

With the Five Virtues and Five Talents in his name, his defense surpassed that of many Golden Body Triple-Realm Buddhist cultivators, making him almost invincible at this stage.

Even the ferocious Heaven-Defying Tiger King could only sigh in frustration.

Instead, Phoenix Fengming's radiant glow transformed into dazzling sunlight, and countless needle-like rays of the Rising Sun Feather Blades forced the Heaven-Defying Tiger King to dodge immediately.

The ferocious tiger's roar could not conceal the clear and melodious sound of the phoenix's cry.

The phoenix's cry shook the heavens and earth, causing them to twist and trap the Heaven-Defying Tiger King's body in mid-air.

Then, countless Rising Sun Feather Blades merged into one and shot towards the tiger demon!

The Heaven-Defying Tiger King's eyes widened, and its killing intent surged.

Its entire body seemed to shed its tiger-like appearance and transform into a bright, cold, and sinister star.

Although it was just a single star, the ferocious and ruthless killing intent emanating from it was equally formidable, shaking the four directions.

The Heaven-Defying Tiger King countered with offense, clashing fiercely with Phoenix Fengming's countless Rising Sun Feather Blades.

The two collided in mid-air, and the harmonious golden light and fierce silver light continuously burst towards the four directions.

At the same time, a bright flame ignited.

The flame was colorless, but the white light it emitted seemed even more dazzling than the sun, and within it, the Five Virtues and Five Talents faintly appeared.

It was the Five Virtues True Fire, an innate secret technique created by Phoenix Fengming after reaching the Triple-Realm of Immortality.

He was known for his calm temperament, aversion to killing, and lack of desire to compete with others.

Whether in the Celestial Sphere or after leaving it, although he occasionally clashed with enemies, he had never taken a life.

The Rising Sun Feather Blades had formidable offensive power, but Phoenix Fengming was renowned for his formidable defense and rapid recovery.

However, this did not mean he would never take a life.

If it was for protecting the good, then eliminating evil was also a virtuous act.

Eliminating evil required the right means.

And that was the Five Virtues True Fire.

As the flames spread, the Heaven-Defying Tiger King, who had transformed into a malevolent star to counter the Rising Sun Feather Blades, suddenly felt himself burning both inside and out.

The fire of the Five Virtues True Fire did not appear intense at first glance, but it neither grew nor diminished, neither fast nor slow, as if it would never extinguish or cease, and it surrounded the Heaven-Defying Tiger King, giving him no chance to escape.

The fire spread slowly, but the Heaven-Defying Tiger King could only watch helplessly as the colorless fire gradually burned the starlight gale around his body, inch by inch, until it finally ignited his own body.

Although it took some time, Phoenix Fengming successfully killed the Heaven-Defying Tiger King, who was also at the Triple-Realm of Immortality.

The Five Virtues True Fire consumed a significant amount of Phoenix Fengming's spiritual power.

However, as time passed and he continued to search for the Demon Dragon Emperor, his spiritual power quickly recovered.

He soon found the Demon Dragon Emperor.

Unlike before, when it had hidden its presence, the Demon Dragon Emperor was now revealed.

It was trying to pluck the Tai Xuan Qing Ping that Lei Jun had left in the human realm.

Although the formation had been distorted by Taiyi Shaman Sovereign, causing Tai Xuan Qing Ping and Xuan Yuan Zi Qi to temporarily act independently and no longer affect the formation, there were still restrictions from magical power.

Without Lei Jun present to obstruct him, the Demon Dragon Emperor, as a great demon saint, quickly broke through the magical power restrictions, but he had to be cautious not to be drawn into the formation like Taiyi Shaman Sovereign and others.

Chapter 560. _EXTRAORDINARY Opportunity, Double Good Fortune!

The Demon Dragon Emperor, with its massive body, seemed to occupy the entire sky when it descended to the mortal realm.
