Chapter 311 A Deadly Situation
"This is definitely not the work of the Purple Mansion..."
"It was done by a Golden Core True Monarch! Perhaps even a True Monarch who wields power over the Great Void!"
Fang Qing pondered to himself, "But these Purple Mansions are all acting like madmen, showing no reverence for this matter... or rather, they are forced to selectively ignore it in the face of Metal... such methods, such methods..."
He calmed his mind, and Sangji, who was in the blessed land of the East Sea, seemed to sense something. He reached out and tucked a piece of the broken wall next to him, which was covered with dew, into his sleeve...
choke!
Just then, Master Guangmu thrust out with his sword.
The "Crushing Edge" [Horn Wood] divine power in his hands was completely different from the Wood Virtue sword cultivator that Qian Qing had seen before.
Only the sound of a sword echoed between heaven and earth, and then the three-headed, six-armed golden body was split in two.
A sword mark appeared between Kumarajiva's brows, and his mortal body, tempered by countless trials, could not withstand it, splitting in two.
Splash!
From within the flesh and blood, another 'Kumarakara' emerged, his aura slightly weak, but he had not suffered any serious injury.
It is the [Female Earth] divine power – "Washing Away Worldly Ties"!
"Master Guangmu's swordsmanship is superb... This old monk is impressed."
Kumarajiva spread his hands and returned to the side of Sangji and the other Dharma Kings and Tara, clearly indicating that he was no longer prepared to compete with this cultivator who had reached the Purple Mansion Perfection stage.
Grand Master Guangmu reached out and grabbed, and illusory images of trees appeared in the void. The [Horn Wood] metal element immediately disappeared into the illusory images of trees like a bird flying into the forest, and was drawn into his arms.
This is the supernatural power of [Horn Wood] – 'Broad Forest Wood'!
"well……"
Upon seeing this scene, Yao Chen, who was locked in combat with Master Le Shui, couldn't help but sigh and put down the magic jade tablet in his hand.
[Jiaomu] The metal element has fallen into the hands of Guangmu. Trying to snatch it back from this great cultivator at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm is just as difficult as killing this great cultivator!
This is different from before, where as long as you were one step ahead, you could easily acquire the gold.
"The old master's methods are superb; Yao Chen is in awe..."
Yao Chen had no choice but to accept his fate.
He was about to leave when he saw the swaying trees, like a maze, blocking his way.
"What does the old master mean by this?"
Yao Chen suddenly turned around and stared at the jade-crowned youth who was approaching with a sword. He saw that there was no joy on the other's face as he had successfully competed for the Golden Nature, only calmness, complete calmness!
"【Corner Wood】Holding the proper position of wood, it not only receives the support of other trees, standing out from the crowd, sheltering birds and beasts, and gathering insects... but also has the merit of destroying all soil!"
Master Guangmu sighed, "Good and evil cannot coexist... I beg the Great Master to bestow your head upon me, so that I may prove my Dao!"
"You want to kill me? You dare kill me!"
Master Yaochen felt a chill in his heart as he recalled the ominous premonition when the blessed land opened.
Ever since I started preparing to open the blessed land, everything seems to be going wrong for me.
Not only did the search for the Fate Seed encounter obstacles, but the Dragon Palace also missed its appointed time, and the struggle for the Metal element was also unsuccessful...
Upon realizing this, he shuddered, as if an endless stream of cold water had been poured over his mind, and instantly understood: "Well... well, Guangmu! You intend to imitate the deeds of a certain True Lord Mude? This is beyond your knowledge, so... you have a True Lord guiding you? Your 'Heavenly Horn Gate' is hiding its true nature very well!"
Yao Chen was skilled at calculation; he could predict many things based on just a few clues.
The fact that the "Heavenly Horn Gate" is guided by a True Lord, yet doesn't call itself the "Heavenly Horn Sect," is incredibly underhanded...
At least, Yao Chen now knows that the other party is determined to kill him!
Even one's own family background is useless now, because others also have powerful figures behind them!
Unfortunately, Wood element restrains Earth element, and he only possesses three supernatural powers.
This blessed land of the East Sea has turned out to be Yao Chen's dead end!
"Haha... I never imagined that the blessed land of the East Sea that I longed for in my later years would become the place where I died."
Yao Chen glanced at Kumarajiva one last time.
If there is any chance of survival in this situation, it lies with this Great Dharma King.
Ordinary Purple Mansion True Persons are simply unable to participate in the great battle between the late-stage and perfect Purple Mansion realms.
Kumarajiva's expression changed repeatedly, clearly showing his shock.
Even their own families had a vague feeling that something was amiss.
After all... he cultivated the [Female Earth] element, which belongs to the Earth virtue, while the [Horn Wood] element has the merit of destroying all earth elements!
This shows that... even Grandmaster Guangmu could accumulate a certain aura by killing him!
"No... Behind this old monk lies the Secret Realm, whose radiance far surpasses that of the one behind 'Moyun Cliff'... Could this Guangmu be so insane? Offending one demonic Golden Core cultivator is bad enough, but does he intend to offend so many at once? Isn't he afraid that when he proves his Golden Core, we will all turn into external demons and obstruct his path?"
"But the 'sword maniac' who's risked everything on the securities firm... it's hard to say."
Kumarajiva forced a smile: "This is a matter between the Heavenly Horn Gate and the Cloud-Piercing Cliff; this old monk will not interfere... Farewell!"
Splash!
Amidst the scene of all rivers flowing into the sea, a water ape's Dharma body stood blocking his way—it was none other than the Great Master of Joyful Water!
"Is the Canghai Sect determined to align itself with the Tianjiao Sect?"
Sangji's expression changed, and he demanded an explanation.
"We are all of the same righteous path, and it is only right that we help and support each other."
Master Le Shui answered.
In fact, the connection between the Canghai Sect and the Tianjiao Sect is closer than outsiders think.
Even after this, the Canghai Sect will continue to support Guangmu Zhengjin!
After all, only family members know their own affairs. Although the Canghai Sect is known as the Golden Core Immortal Sect, the True Monarch above its head has not responded for many years.
Supporting Tianjiaomen, even if Guangmu fails to secure gold, will at least earn the favor of the person behind Guangmu...
From the perspective of factions, both the Secret Realm and the Cloud-Moving Cliff belong to the demonic path, while the Canghai Sect and the Heavenly Horn Gate are both orthodox sects of the Taiyi Xuanmen. Righteousness and evil cannot coexist!
"In ancient times, there was a great tree called Chun, whose spring lasted eight thousand years, and whose autumn lasted eight thousand years..."
Suddenly, a long cry rang out from among the countless trees.
A large ailanthus tree grows far away, with thousands of branches hanging down, overflowing with the spiritual radiance of the [hornwood].
Under the big ailanthus tree, Master Yaochen looked like a tiny insect.
As for Master Tanfeng, he had already approached Duzi and Dumu, and loudly proclaimed, "We are of the same ilk, bound by the same breath, and I beg you to save me..."
Upon witnessing this scene, the Black Tara, the demon-subduing goddess, felt a strange urge to laugh.
She knew all too well how arrogant this Purple Mansion True Man from the cliff was, looking down on them, the disciples and nuns of salvation, yet now he was wagging his tail and begging for mercy.
Really...
But then the situation changed again.
Yao Chen's face was covered by a bronze mask, on which countless talisman-like patterns meandered, resembling wriggling insects.
Holding a jet-black jade tablet, he performed a savage, sacrificial dance, with radiant circles of [Di Tu] light emanating from him, clearly indicating that he was fully engaged in witchcraft!
The radiance of the three great supernatural powers, "Twilight Sinking," "Xu Yuan Kun," and "Gravine Warmth," was fully amplified on the witchcraft, beginning to brew unimaginable terror.
The writhing, swirling script had reached a level where it could easily curse and kill a cultivator in the early stages of the Purple Mansion realm.
Even Fu Mo Hei and Tan Feng Zhenren, with just a glance, felt their lives were cursed and their Purple Mansions damaged...
"A great calamity is imminent!"
Kumarajiva's expression turned sorrowful as he looked at the Tara and Tara he had brought with him: "When the time comes to use you, I will offer your flesh and blood as a sacrifice to release your true spirits into the cycle of reincarnation..."
As he spoke, this great Dharma King of the Secret Realm had already manifested the "appearance of death," his body rotting and oozing foul-smelling bodily fluids, while in his hand he held a Dharma knife.
It was the very same ritual knife used to perform the 'sky burial' ceremony!
The knife was incredibly swift, and he pierced the chest of a Tara.
The Tara, however, wore a look of great joy and clasped her hands together, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Great Dharma King..."
She seemed to have ascended to paradise, her blood and bones dissipating on the spot, as if she had been completely devoured by an inexplicable terror...
Then came another group of Taras and Tara...
Sangji clasped his hands together: "Demon-Subduing Black..."
"I will obey the decree!"
Black Tara, the demon-subduing goddess, also stepped forward, ready to offer up all her flesh, blood, and spiritual power...
"You don't need to go."
Sangji replied, "The flesh and blood under the command of the Great Dharma King are enough to attract many terrifying beings. You will lead the way then..."
He thought to himself, 'Those Tara and his followers, they actually believed it... If they were outside, there would still be a chance for their true spirits to return to the Great Snow Mountain, but this time they are within this blessed land...'
"But the Great Dharma King has given the order: what else can we do but face death with a smile?"
Now that Kumarajiva is facing a dead end, he is naturally hysterical and has resorted to all sorts of means.
Click!
Click!
Darkness descended, and in the void, ghostly figures seemed to appear, transforming into numerous terrifying forms that devoured the disciples and goddesses. Then, they turned their gaze upon the living people present...
"The Great Dharma King truly possesses remarkable methods, using a blood sacrifice to attract numerous hidden spirits and deities associated with the Earth element... Coincidentally, the Great Master Yaochen is also conducting a shamanistic ritual nearby... Although the two sides haven't explicitly stated their intention to join forces, they have effectively formed an alliance!"
"But these terrifying beings...they'll devour people!"
Sangji formed hand seals, and the white bone relic flew out. He shouted fiercely, "Subduing Demon Black..."
"what!"
The Black Tara who subdued demons immediately formed hand seals, transforming into a patch of darkness, yet also resembling an umbrella of flesh and blood, a prayer flag... which Sangji held above his head.
Click!Click!
Before Master Tanfeng could react, his head was bitten off by a terrifying figure in the void.
"These ghosts and spirits are indiscriminate in their dealings with friend and foe... Only by cultivating the 'Deathly Terror Appearance' can one be ignored by them..."
Sangji, holding the black banner that had been transformed into the Demon-Subduing Black, led the darkness ahead toward the water ape.
With every step, one could hear the mournful wails of the Black Tara who subdues demons.
It was as if those terrifying figures winding through the darkness were slowly savoring her flesh and blood.
When the Demon-Subduing Black is completely devoured, it will naturally be Sangji's turn...
Kumarajiva, however, mingled in the darkness, as if he himself had transformed into a terrifying figure, blending in with the light and dust...
"Earthly rituals, ghosts and spirits, and all manner of terrors..."
The water ape avatar of the Great Master Le Shui looked at the dense darkness surging towards him, knowing that it contained countless dangers, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
at last……
With a swift movement, he scooped the Leshan Master into his arms, leaped aside, and bypassed the path of the terrifying beings…
Whoosh!
Sangji took a step forward and left the secret place, arriving in the blessed land of the East Sea in the outside world.
Splash!
The waves surged, and the surrounding atmosphere was peaceful.
The darkness had vanished sometime during the night, and the many terrifying sights had also disappeared...
He looked at his hand and saw that the original "black umbrella" had been reduced to just a handle, which was half a spine...
"Venerable One, this object is indeed a fine prototype for a Buddhist artifact..."
The Black Tara who subdued demons still has a breath left. Once she leaves the blessed land, her true spirit can be reincarnated.
The remaining piece of bone is naturally an excellent material for secretly refining weapons.
The remaining piece of bone is naturally an excellent material for secretly refining weapons.
"Great Dharma King?"
Sangji carefully collected the bones and then quickly looked at Kumarajiva beside him.
Such methods of guiding people through terrifying phenomena using witchcraft are rare in the history of Wuxiang Temple; most of the time, these methods were used when people were about to perish together.
Kumarajiva swallowed a Flesh Lotus Pill, and the 'terrified look' on his face disappeared. He glanced at the raging fire appearing on the horizon and said, "A trap! This blessed land of the East Sea is nothing but a trap for the righteous path... Go away! Go away!"
