Chapter 106: Chapter 64: Heaven and Earth Xuan Sect (3rd update, asking for monthly tickets)

Qianyang Mountain, in an unnamed village, was where Chen Shi and the others disguised themselves as porcelain to hide from the Evil Bodhisattva. At this moment, in the center of the village, the Evil Bodhisattva sat erect and alert, gathering the energy from all eight directions, as the life force of all living beings within a hundred miles surged into its body.

The demonic nature spread from its body into the world, influencing the few remaining human survivors and evil spirits in the Demon Domain.

Most of the village had already been destroyed by it; various spiritual beasts and mountain spirits had also been turned into porcelain. Now, there were not many surviving humans in the Demon Domain.

Its intention was to completely demonize this territory, using its own body as a cocoon, to undergo a transformation.

It was a demon, but after its birth, its consciousness wasn’t actually that strong—most of its actions were driven by a kind of bodily instinct. It instinctively wanted to snatch all life force and pollute everything within its reach, until everything was remade into the image it desired.

In fact, it had been born a long time ago.

That was an event from over six thousand years ago, just as it was born and about to act on its instincts, it was captured by that powerful man.

That man sealed it within the body of porcelain that it inhabits now, merging it with the porcelain to become one living being.

This method filled it with fear.

It had always been bound within this body, suffering damage when the body was broken, becoming crippled when the body was crippled.

He treated it as a treasured object, as a core of a formation, placed in a kiln, turning the mighty demon into a tool for utilization.

But fortunately, wave after wave of foolish humans intruded into the kiln, allowing it to absorb their life force and gradually become stronger.

Until that day not long ago, when many people came to the kiln, including humans who had cultivated their Primordial Spirits, which were the most delectable nourishment for it, sending it into ecstatic frenzy.

It felt like a seed about to sprout roots and shoot up, breaking through the soil at this moment.

More than six thousand years of waiting, all for this day!

It released its own Demon Domain, turning this slice of time and space into a fertile ground to nourish itself. Once it completely demonized this place and fully absorbed the life force of the land, it would undergo transformation, ascending to another life form!

An even more powerful, more perfect life form!

It sensed that the transformation was getting closer—within a hundred days at most, it would complete the metamorphosis.

It was looking forward to this transformation.

Just then, the four faces of the Evil Bodhisattva slowly opened their eyes, looking in four different directions.

Carrying the aura of an aristocrat, Xiao Wangsun with a long sword hanging by his fine waist, hilt pointing downward, stepped forward.

On the other hand, the little old granny carrying the Sheep Horn Heavenly Spirit Lamp shined a bright light onto its demon soul hidden within the porcelain, first suppressing its strength.

And from the other two directions, Jin Hongying with her tall and proud figure, and Li Jindou who was sitting in a carriage, his porcelain legs slightly shaking.

The Evil Bodhisattva slowly rose to its feet, the four faces showing happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. In its hands, the Sun Pearl, Moon Pearl, Soul-shaking Bell, Demon-Subduing Pestle, Palm Leaf Fan, bow, arrow, and golden bricks—eight treasures slowly lit up. The treasures were inscribed with various talisman patterns, glittering with golden light, showing no hint of demonic nature.

But the moment one’s vision fell upon these treasures, or one was illuminated by the golden light, a feeling of spiritual madness and distortion would ensue, involuntarily giving rise to all sorts of demonic thoughts, losing one’s senses.

Fortunately, Granny Sha had activated the Sheep Horn Heavenly Spirit Lamp to suppress the Demon Soul and demonic nature of the Evil Bodhisattva, preventing it from affecting their spirits.

Without the Sheep Horn Heavenly Spirit Lamp, the four of them wouldn’t even have had the chance to fight.

However, the lamp couldn’t suppress the ceramic transformation.

Xiao Wangsun, Jin Hongying, Li Jindou, and Granny Sha all noticed that their wounds had started to itch, hardening like porcelain, as the blood and parts of the flesh began to turn ceramic.

Their wounds were their weak spots, the first to be influenced by the Evil Bodhisattva.

Especially Li Jindou, who had once transformed into a ceramic doll and still had both of his lower legs in the midst of ceramic transformation, not yet fully refined, thus suffering the greatest impact.

He could feel the ceramic transformation spreading upwards along his lower legs.

But he remained silent, focusing completely, preparing for a deadly strike.

There was no need for words when enemies met!

The Evil Bodhisattva’s body lit up with talismans, indeed originating from its eight eyes, then spreading like flowing light through its veins to its eight arms!

At the moment it swung its eight weapons, a fine streak of light raced forward, with a "ding" piercing through the wrist of the arm holding the Sun Pearl, instantly severing most of the talismanic power coursing through that meridian!

That was a small sword, extremely fine, only three to four inches in length, piercing through its wrist, fluttering like a sparrow amidst its seven other arms, dinging and donging, striking eight times in a flash!

Each of the eight impacts was ingeniously targeted at the crucial points where the power through its arms connected to the treasures!

Suddenly, the power of the Evil Bodhisattva’s eight weapons was greatly diminished, failing to manifest even a third of their usual strength!

In that moment, behind Li Jindou appeared a towering Primordial Spirit, merging with the body to activate the Six Yin Jade Wheel, unleashing six colossal Sword Wheels that roared into action and instantly reached the Evil Bodhisattva!

The six Jade Wheels sliced through the air, whirling above and below, clashing with the Sun and Moon Pearls in the sky, "dinging" and "donging," as water and fire burst forth and Mana surged.

Behind Jin Hongying loomed a towering Primordial Spirit, gathering Qi into a sword, and with Jin Hongying’s Sword Technique, the towering Primordial Spirit simultaneously unleashed a crimson Sword Qi as it slashed down!

She wasn’t born into a noble family; her practice was the Evil Slaying Red Talisman Technique of the Divine Mechanism Camp, a general cultivation technique of the camp, which this woman had refined to profound mastery.

Alongside this Sword Qi, hundreds more sword energies followed from behind, one after another, when the front Sword Qi was obstructed, the following ones would merge with it, greatly amplifying the power of the Sword Technique.

The Evil Bodhisattva confronted this sword slash with the Demon-Subduing Pestle, managing to easily withstand the first sword’s energy, but as each wave of Sword Qi merged with the initial strike, the Demon-Subduing Pestle started to crack, nearly getting cleaved by the Sword Qi!

At the same time, the ground beneath Granny Sha’s feet trembled, as black mud churned up, entrapping the Evil Bodhisattva, preventing it from leveraging any force.

Immediately afterwards, eight Trigrams of water, fire, marsh, mountain, wind, and thunder roared into life, the mountain pressed down, thunder poured like rain, water and fire intertwined, drowning the Evil Bodhisattva!

The Evil Bodhisattva activated the Soul-shaking Bell, resisting Granny Sha’s onslaught, and simultaneously threw a gold brick, transforming it into a Golden Mountain that pressed down towards Granny Sha.

Just as it seemed about to succeed, suddenly a sword light came flying, knocking the gold brick away.

Xiao Wangsun’s longsword slipped out of its sheath and flew out, hitting the gold brick and immediately turning, stabbing towards the Evil Bodhisattva’s eyes!

The Evil Bodhisattva intended to unleash the power of the eight treasure artifacts, but every time the artifacts’ power was about to be activated, Xiao Wangsun’s Bolao Sword would accurately pierce their core nodes, causing their rampant energy to suddenly dissipate by sixty to seventy percent.

The Six Yin Jade Wheel flung open the Sun and Moon pearls, striking the Evil Bodhisattva’s body and instantly shattering it like broken celadon flying!

On another front, Jin Hongying’s red Sword Qi severed the Demon-Subduing Pestle, cutting through the Evil Bodhisattva’s shoulder and severing an arm!

Granny Sha’s unpredictable changes in trigram patterns hit the Evil Bodhisattva one after another.

Meanwhile, the Bolao Sword, along with another sword, pierced through the Evil Bodhisattva’s eyes!

"Got it!"

Everyone rejoiced in their hearts, only to see the Evil Bodhisattva’s huge body suddenly come to a halt, standing still on the spot.

Then, with a clatter, like shattered porcelain, the Evil Bodhisattva’s body broke apart, and countless pieces of broken porcelain fell to the ground with a tinkling sound.

Li Jindou laughed heartily, "Good, good! Worthy of my wise grandchild, your ideas are truly effective! We’ve indeed killed this thing!"

Granny Sha also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "We also owe a lot to Little Ten, for breaking the talisman on its body."

Jin Hongying also relaxed, her last sword strike had almost depleted all her Mana, leaving her feeling somewhat weakened.

Xiao Wangsun slightly furrowed his brows, not withdrawing the two swords, which still hung over the pile of porcelain fragments.

Although Chen Shi and Li Tianqing’s strategy was solid, and they understood the various forces within the Evil Bodhisattva like the back of their hand, having effectively destroyed its body, it seemed too easy to Xiao Wangsun, making him feel something was not quite right.

"Moreover, the Demon Domain has not dissipated."

He remained extremely vigilant.

Suddenly, the porcelain pieces clattered, and a grating sound emerged from within them, sounding like a human voice mixed with the calls of birds.

"It hurts so much, you all hurt me so badly!"

Xiao Wangsun’s complexion changed dramatically, and the two swords immediately thrust into the pile of porcelain pieces!

Suddenly, the two swords halted; one was grasped by a bloodied hand, and the Bolao was pinched between two blood-soaked fingers!

Xiao Wangsun immediately sensed the wails of the two swords, a powerful and evil force was invading them, threatening to erode their spirits!

"Clatter!"

From the pile of porcelain, a bloodied figure slowly rose, much shorter than the Evil Bodhisattva but still about fifteen to sixteen cubits tall, akin to a miniature version of the Evil Bodhisattva.

But it was made of flesh and blood, merely without skin.

The shell of the Evil Bodhisattva was its skin.

Now that the Evil Bodhisattva had been shattered, it was as though it had been skinned!

An intangible thought entered the minds of Xiao Wangsun, Jin Hongying, and the others, eroding their spirits and altering their perception of the world. The environment seemed to spin and distort around them, mountains stretched like noodles, quivering back and forth.

"Head adorned with the Big Dipper, governed by the Lawful Heavenly Battle. The power of life gives me years, the power of fate protects my life!"

Granny Sha stepped forward, holding the lamp high and marching with the stride of constellations, her presence peaking, her white hair flying wild.

"The Nine Talismans of the Elixir Scripture, dispelling calamity and misfortune. White runes for talismans, eradicating harm. Yu the Great paves the way, Chi You evades the combat!"

With a flick of her finger and a sword technique, she touched the air sharply.

"Hurry like a law decree! Go—"

The blood-covered Evil Bodhisattva’s body trembled. Xiao Wangsun, Jin Hongying, and Li Jindou snapped out of the illusion. The two divine swords took the opportunity to fly out, though they too were significantly weakened.

The blood-drenched Evil Bodhisattva suddenly opened its eyes and glared at Granny Sha, who staggered as if struck, a muffled groan escaping her lips as blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

Her heart instantly chilled.

The Evil Bodhisattva, now without its shell, was stronger than before!

Suddenly, the Evil Bodhisattva began frantically scratching at its own body, tearing off chunks of flesh in immense pain.

Strangely, pieces of porcelain grew from its flesh as if they were its skin. Even as the Evil Bodhisattva scratched in agony, a new layer of celadon skin quickly regrew.

"Why can’t I still break free? Why am I still unable to escape your shackles!"

The Evil Bodhisattva cried out, then glared venomously at the four, "You ruined my transformation and ascendance, trapping me still in this cage. Today, you will all become my nourishment!"

In the distance atop Xuan Shan, Great Snake Xuan Shan noted this scene and sighed, "After all, they are not up to the task."

"Dao brother, I am departing," Chen Yindou bowed to the Great Snake.

The spirit of Xuan Shan paid him respect in return, watching him as he approached the Evil Bodhisattva.

But between the mountains and the heaven, an ancient voice arose.

"Heaven and Earth Xuan Sect, the root of all Qi. Cultivating through countless calamities, manifesting my Divine Skills. Within and beyond the Three Realms, I alone am supreme!"

The departing figure grew larger, as if truly surrounded by the Qi of heaven and earth, having withstood countless calamities to prove his Divine Skills.

"The body glows golden, reflecting upon my form. Invisible to the eyes, inaudible to the ears. Embracing heaven and earth, nurturing all living beings. After ten thousand recitations, the body glows with light!"

He was protected by golden light, his body radiantly bright, illuminating the Demon Domain.

"Guards of the Three Realms, the Five Emperors await. Ten thousand deities pay homage, wielding the thunder. Evil spirits are dispelled, the spectral vanishes. Within lies sudden thunder, the names of Thunder Gods are hidden. Wisdom and joy intertwine, the five delights soar!"

"Golden light, appear swiftly, shelter my body!"

Within the golden light, myriad talismans emerged, and in the vague mist, it seemed as if countless Divine Beings of China were carrying glimmering lights, floating through the clouds towards that dense Demon Qi.
