Chapter 764: You Must Die Here Today
Chapter 764: You Must Die Here Today
A loud rumbling filled the air, but it wasn't thunder; it was the White Deer's increasingly heavy breathing.
The two humans' almost playful actions made the scar on its face twitch even more violently.
"Is this amusing?"
The White Deer sensed Nan Huang's attempt to quietly retreat. Without turning back, it stared straight ahead at the young man, its lips curling into a cruel smile.
"How about we make a bet?"
"I'll bet that I can kill you before it finds the next demon, and then catch up to it."
As the words left its mouth, the figure in the yellow robe vanished from sight.
In an instant, Shen Yi's pupils reflected the gruesome face that suddenly loomed close.
The White Deer, carrying a surging tide of demonic power, crashed into him like a massive wave, sweeping his slender figure into the vast rift in the world.
As a great demon of the Northern Continent, it knew exactly what the Gray Mist was and showed no fear.
The crimson demonic power surged out, easily dispersing the Gray Mist, like sharp claws tearing apart the illusory fog.
"You seem to know the rules of the Northern Continent quite well."
The White Deer advanced step by step, tightly gripping Shen Yi's arms and pushing him toward the endless void, its eyes mocking as it said,
"But you forgot that you don't deserve to enjoy these rules."
The disciples of the San Xian Sect restrained each other not out of any sense of righteousness, but because of the Golden Immortals who stood behind them.
These beings that transcended both realms were the reason the rules existed.
But behind this opponent, there was only an endless void, the Grand Emptiness.
So while other cultivators could return safely after losing a contest over a dao site by submitting, this Grand Emptiness True Lord could not.
"You must die here today."
The White Deer felt the massive rift behind it close completely, revealing its true nature as a great demon. It retracted its smile, its fingers tightening, and a powerful demonic aura enveloped Shen Yi's body, cutting off any chance of merging with the Gray Mist.
In the next moment, it exerted its strength with both arms!
Unfortunately, the sound of a dao body being torn apart did not echo through the Void Reality.
The White Deer's frenzied push came to an abrupt halt.
Shen Yi's pristine long boots were firmly planted in the infinite Gray Mist, and his slender figure stood steady.
"..."
The White Deer gazed down at the young man, feeling the force that matched its own transmitted through its grip, slightly stunned.
Then, it slowly raised its head and looked behind the young man.
In the once-empty Grand Emptiness, a majestic, boundless dharmic body had appeared, sitting cross-legged. The turbulent Gray Mist seemed to transform into heavy clouds in the sky, and this golden figure towered above.
Dense black clouds formed a kasaya, obscuring its golden glow, making it appear like an evil Buddha.
Four thick arms came together, holding severe magical instruments, and a dark golden wheel slowly rose behind it, forming an unbreakable prison.
The moment this eerie dharmic body appeared, the White Deer sensed Shen Yi's aura rapidly rising, quickly reaching perfection from the minor Six-Six Transformation Realm, matching its own.
Only then did it realize that these two were not toying with it or trying to anger it by using the Void Reality to trap it.
This young man truly possessed the strength to govern a dao site!
Unfortunately, this strength could not be revealed.
"You have many secrets, don't you?"
The White Deer had not expected that what should have been a simple task to reclaim a dao site would lead it to the root of the recent chaos in the Northern Continent.
The monks of the Bodhi Sect were so bold, operating both openly and covertly, causing trouble outside and infiltrating the San Xian Sect.
If it could bring this news back to You Yao... no, if it could capture this demon alive and present it to the Pure Light Great Immortal, not only would its brother's future be secured, but it would also have the chance to wash away its demonic name and join the ranks of the immortals!
"I was wrong before."
"You don't have to die today."
The White Deer suddenly burst into a long, trembling laugh, a sign of extreme excitement.
In an instant, it released Shen Yi's arms and its figure shot upward, rising like a mountain from the ground, quickly reaching the height of the golden dharmic body.
This was not the form of an ordinary demon.
A demon as large as a Bodhisattva's dharmic body was something Shen Yi had only seen once before, in Nan Huang, who had transformed from a fleshy toad. Other demons, even dragons soaring in the sky, were like eels in the hands of a dharmic body. How could the White Deer's true form be so imposing?
Moreover, the White Deer, which had previously exuded a surging aura of demonic energy, maintained its humanoid form even after growing to such a colossal size. It was enveloped in ethereal immortal energy, with white clouds swirling around it, making even the scars on its face seem less menacing.
Clearly, although the San Xian Sect and the Bodhi Sect had a long-standing friendship, they had long been wary of each other behind closed doors. The ability to transform into a giant form, as seen in this great demon, was most likely prepared for the Bodhisattvas.
"I may not bear the name of an immortal disciple, but thanks to my younger brother, I have long possessed the essence of one."
The entire world shook violently as the White Deer took huge strides forward, its movements growing faster and faster, like a giant chasing the sun. Even the Void Reality could not impede its advance.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Finally, it stood before the golden statue, leaped into the air, and with a sky-blocking, sun-shielding body, pounced down.
The arms behind the statue swung sharply, and a sharp cry rang out as the Vermilion Bird Sword unleashed a towering wave of flames, slicing directly at the White Deer's neck.
Snap.
The White Deer grasped the statue's wrist in advance and pushed it forcefully. The massive sword, along with the crimson flames, was sent recoiling backward.
With a low growl, it used its left hand to grab the statue's shoulder, halting the action of summoning the Dragon Coiling Whip. Then, with a frenzied burst of strength, it pressed the enormous golden statue backward.
Using its demonic form to forcibly suppress the Bodhi Sect's statue!
This was the first time Shen Yi, after achieving the Ninth Ninth Perfect Fruit Position, had been at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation.
"Soul Stabilizing Seal!"
Although the White Deer, as a demon from the Northern Continent, had likely never seen a Bodhisattva, its actions were decisive and clearly well-informed.
It had seemed like a raging beast, but when it formed the seals, it exuded a semblance of an immortal.
Temporarily restraining the statue, it raised its right palm, and streams of clear light formed Dao symbols at its fingertips. It then pointed like a sword and thrust directly toward the statue's vital points!
Despite being at the same cultivation level, the White Deer had from the start intended to capture its opponent alive, showing its confidence.
The direction of the Dao symbol's impact was precisely the vital point where the statue's order and essence flowed.
Shen Yi's Fruit Position created its own realm, and the White Deer had seen through its weak point at a glance.
Swoosh!
Its sword finger pierced through the black clouds and penetrated the statue's golden body.
But a look of surprise appeared on the White Deer's face.
The Dao symbol had missed.
Its arm emerged from behind the statue, but there was no actual contact.
"Your immortal cultivation is not an illusion?"
The White Deer had thought this person was using some kind of Bodhi Sect Buddhist treasure to fake the aura of a Dao Fruit, but the current situation seemed different from what it had imagined.
The black cloud Kasaya surrounding the statue was clearly of the same origin as the Gray Mist in the Void Reality, a genuine technique of the San Xian Sect.
"Are you here to chat with me?"
Shen Yi stood amidst the void, his aura of radiance growing stronger.
As he activated the Disaster Force, the massive statue slowly rose, and under the impact of the Golden River, the White Deer began to feel the strain.
A hint of shock flashed across its eyes.
After all, it had used the immortal sect's magical techniques, and the other side had not employed any means, relying solely on the statue itself to turn the tide.
This Fruit Position was truly formidable.
It seemed the Bodhi Sect had made a significant investment to send such a talented individual to the Northern Continent, with grand ambitions...
But the greater the stakes, the greater the merit it could earn.
"Five Emperors Unite, Mountains and Rivers Subdue the Demon!"
Enticed by this, the White Deer finally hesitated no longer. It didn't care that this was a technique secretly taught by its younger brother, which could cause significant trouble if it were to be revealed. It was willing to risk its future to capture this foe.
It suddenly released its hold on the statue and clapped its hands together.
In an instant, clear light surged through the vast expanse of Gray Mist, and the outlines of five mountains and rivers appeared, transforming the desolate Grand Emptiness into a splendid earthly paradise.
These five mountains were the celestial palaces of the Five Emperors.
Now, the White Deer had one mountain atop its head, two on its shoulders, and one in each hand. The five mountains together represented the cycle of this realm.
It hurled the five mountains, and the entire Void Reality suddenly ceased its turmoil, even the drifting Gray Mist coming to a halt.
"Soul Stabilizing Seal!"
The White Deer formed another Dao symbol, grinning wickedly as it looked down at the statue: "Try to dodge this!"
At that moment, Shen Yi, protected by the radiance, suddenly took a step forward. He walked out of the light, his pace quickening until he was sprinting like the White Deer had done earlier.
His face was not fierce; only the slight twitching of his pupils revealed the cold light within.
Next, a figure, tiny in comparison to the two behemoths, leaped up. A jade-green vine sprang from his sleeve, clutched firmly in his hand.
The green vine swung wildly, growing rapidly in the storm until it transformed back into the massive python it once was.
Suddenly, it lunged forward, tightly wrapping around the White Deer's neck.
Boom!
Shen Yi wrapped the thinner end of the vine around his hand and yanked hard, managing to pull the great beast back a few steps.
The White Deer held a talisman in one hand and the vine around its neck in the other, slowly turning its head. "Azure Water Green Vine?"
Recognizing the familiar magical tool, it muttered, "Tsk, You Yao's senses are as sharp as ever. You haven’t been wronged, then."
Unfortunately, though this item is rare, it doesn't quite qualify as a true spiritual treasure.
At this moment, the White Deer's gaze toward Shen Yi was much like Shen Yi's earlier look at Shu Yu.
Without sufficient cultivation, relying on this item alone is far from enough to challenge a higher realm opponent.
"Feeling brave enough to come out now that I said I won't kill you?"
The White Deer suddenly laughed, full of mockery. Then, the large hand gripping the green vine suddenly exerted force, trying to drag Shen Yi to its face.
However, its hand failed to budge the vine at all.
Under its puzzled gaze, the young man's Dao Fruit aura began to surge, rising steadily from the six transformations, crossing the threshold of ninety, though it hadn't yet reached the pinnacle.
The vast gap between the two realms finally narrowed to a point where the Azure Water Green Vine could bridge it.
"..."
Shen Yi coldly swept his gaze over the White Deer, then unleashed the Disaster Force without reservation, channeling it entirely into the vine.
While the other party was entangled with the magical manifestation, Nan Huang had swiftly dealt with the other great beasts. The 30,000 years of Vast Beastly Lifespan had long been absorbed into the Divine Void Dao Fruit through the panel calculations.
Now, only the White Deer stood between him and perfection.
In an instant, Shen Yi swung his arm with force, like a mountain collapsing. The White Deer, caught off guard, fell backward into the thick Gray Mist.
The Azure Water Green Vine could, at most, restrain it for a short while, far from being enough to take its life.
But for the first time, the White Deer's eyes showed panic. It looked up to see the golden manifestation standing before it, their positions reversed.
"Five Emperors' Mountains, protect me!"
The White Deer stared at the slowly raised sword, a sense of unease growing in its heart. In the face of the great temptation, it finally remembered its own life.
The five immortal mountains that sealed the Void Reality once again suspended in the air, swiftly heading toward it.
At that moment, a crack appeared on the forehead of the golden manifestation, a blinding golden light bursting forth.
This was its third eye, the final transformation of Shen Yi's Bodhisattva fruit.
If the four magical tools and the golden wheel formed a stable world, then the opening of this eye represented the awakening of the world's consciousness.
Though it was only a Third Grade Dao path, it already had the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao.
The golden manifestation slowly lifted the four magical tools, the dark golden wheel rising to the sky, slowly rotating and pouring down a golden light like sunlight, forming a light barrier around them.
The five imperial mountain avatars were actually stopped outside.
Under the gaze of the third golden eye, the White Deer felt a burning sensation all over its body, with nowhere to hide. Its massive form began to shrink, returning to its original size, its supernatural abilities quietly stripped away.
Its eyes filled with terror, it struggled to stand and escape, but the vine around its neck tightened again.
The White Deer turned its head sharply to see the young man standing quietly behind it, the two of them almost touching. The golden manifestation had become a shadow around him.
"This is not their world."
Shen Yi tightened the vine inch by inch, choking the White Deer until it began to suffocate and lose strength.
He stared into the void, whispering in its ear, "This is mine."
"..."
The White Deer fell into fear, struggling with all its might.
The four-armed shadow behind Shen Yi descended together, driving the various magical tools into its chest and abdomen.
The beast's blood splattered onto the steady, rock-solid hand.
The White Deer's body twitched slightly, watching helplessly as Shen Yi used the vine to snap its neck. In the next moment, the Disaster Force contained within the four magical tools brutally tore through its internal organs.
"Phew."
Shen Yi breathed heavily, transforming the vine back into a seed and storing it in his ring.
The shadows of the five immortal mountains slowly dissipated, and the surroundings returned to a lifeless gray.
He silently wiped the scorching beast blood from his hand.
Without Mount Sumeru's intervention, the waters of the Northern Continent were indeed deeper than those of the Southern Continent, but they weren't as difficult to handle as he had imagined.
