Chapter 699 Born of the Heavenly Dao

Although Chen Shi's cultivation level was not as high as Kundulun's, he had a solid foundation and was thoroughly familiar with the Dao patterns of the Green Stele and the Heavenly Dao of the Green Palace.

The Jade Purity Free and Easy Finger is the method found in the Green Stele to break the heretical path of Kundulun. Chen Shi taught the immortals under his command the Reincarnation Life and Death Technique to avoid this heretical path of time, but he did not teach them the method to break it.

His timing was extremely clever, just as Kundulun and Xiao Duan were locked in a fierce battle and had no time to retaliate.

The couple's coordination was absolutely exquisite.

Kundulun was a demonic seed born in the Earthly Immortal Realm. After reaching adulthood, he could grow into a great demon, comparable to a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal. However, he was unearthed in his childhood. When Ning Gongfu brought him to the ancestral court, his cultivation level was not even as high as that of a newly merged immortal.

Having survived the ancestral court's battles, his strength was now approaching that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal. However, he only had time to make one move before he was defeated by Chen Shi and Xiao Duan, leaving him utterly despondent.

Fairy Xiao Duan immediately struck Kundulun on the head with a palm, flames blazing down from her palm and pouring into Kundulun's body.

Chen Shi rushed towards Changbo Zhenren, his body swaying as if he were drunk, dodging the attacks of Changbo Zhenren and the fierce soldiers of Daxia.

Master Changbo was a yellow-haired man with a fierce face and a mouthful of yellow teeth. He carried a banner and a sword. When he shook the banner, it became enormous, sometimes stretching out countless arms, sometimes a huge head poking out from the black banner to bite people.

The sword in his hand appeared and disappeared intermittently; when it disappeared, it flew out of his hand, injuring people invisibly, and when it reappeared, it was in his hand again.

This immortal is already a Golden Immortal, with profound cultivation. Even when the sword in his hand is invisible, it still appears as if he is holding a sword, indicating that he has a set of sword techniques to follow.

Seeing Chen Shi charging towards him, Changbo Zhenren shook his black banner, from which a large head emerged, spewing thick smoke. The demonic sword, however, vanished into the black smoke and headed straight for Chen Shi.

At the same time, Shui Qianyi, the Water Daoist, flashed, and ripples appeared in the air. Shui Qianyi's figure disappeared and reappeared behind Chen Shi the next moment.

He was a master of water escape techniques, having reached a state of perfection. With a thought, water ripples could spread across a radius of a thousand miles. As soon as the water in the air stirred, Shui Qianyi could escape from the water, appearing and disappearing like a ghost.

Shui Qianyi appeared and disappeared around Chen Shi, using water-based techniques to attack him from various parts of his body.

Master Changbo combined the banner with the sword, creating a fighting style that integrated combat and magic, which was very fierce.

The two attacked Chen Shi from both sides, one in front and one behind, using speed to overwhelm him.

Chen Shi abandoned his sword and activated the Daoist techniques on the green stele. The Azure Dragon Roar, the White Tiger Seal, the Dipper Mother Shifting Heaven, and the Purple Star Changing Dipper, all kinds of immortal techniques, under the blessing of his Primordial Chaos Demonic Art, became shrouded in demonic energy, crisscrossing and maneuvering, truly magnificent and awe-inspiring.

Although Master Changbo and Shui Qianyi were facing him, after exchanging blows several times, they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe: "This man is truly a giant of our demonic path, his strength is truly remarkable! If it weren't for Kundulun, the demonic path would surely consider him the leader!"

The two attacked together, but after two moves, they were at a disadvantage. After five moves, they were in grave danger.

In his sixth move, Chen Shi reached into the black banner with his palm. The black banner seemed to contain boundless space, engulfing his arm. But the next moment, Chen Shi's palm pierced through the boundless space within the black banner and struck Changbo Zhenren's head.

Master Changbo's head trembled violently, and with a snap, the back of his head flew off, his body drifting away like a kite.

Shui Qianyi was terrified and was about to flee by water escape when suddenly everything around him froze.

He immediately leaped into the air, only to suddenly see a palm print descending from the sky above him. Unable to dodge in time, he was crushed to pieces.

Chen Shi used the secret techniques inscribed on the green stele to eliminate the two men, then his gaze swept over the last man.

That man, whose Taoist name was Chengxian and who was also a master of the demonic path from the ancestral court, saw Chen Shi as a god of death. He swept through everything in his path, killing several of his fellow Daoists. With no more will to fight, he fled in panic.

However, this place was full of fierce soldiers from the Great Xia Dynasty. He hadn't escaped far when he was suddenly cut in two by a single sword strike.

Chen Shi withdrew his gaze and caught up with Fairy Xiao Duan, only to find that Kundulun was still alive.

"Husband, this person cannot be killed!" Xiao Duan shouted, carrying Kundulun and dodging the attacks of the Great Xia's fierce soldiers.

She grasped Kundulun in her palm, and the sacred fire of the Black Bird, capable of incinerating everything, poured into Kundulun's body. Kundulun's skull was burned crimson, and his flesh resembled a red lantern, radiant and translucent inside and out.

Such powerful refining ability was something even Chen Shi knew he couldn't withstand; he would be refined into ashes in just a few breaths.

Even after being refined to this state, Kundulun still did not die.

Strangely enough, even though his flesh and blood were burned away, there were still strange external forces within his body reconstructing his physical form. The chains of these forces were naturally formed and could not be broken by burning.

Xiao Duan summoned Kundulun again to meet the weapons wielded by the fierce soldiers of Da Xia. Even if he was beaten until his skin was torn and flesh was torn, or even split in two, Kundulun could still regenerate!

Chen Shi had never seen anything like this before, and immediately said, "I'll give it a try."

Xiao Duan stopped and helped Chen Shi resist the attack of the fierce soldiers of Da Xia.

Chen Shi unleashed the Xuanhuang Sword Qi, activating the ninth form of the Hunyuan Sword Scripture.

The primordial chaos was divided, and the universe was separated!
This move is the strongest move in the Hunyuan Sword Scripture, and it is also the ultimate skill created by the Master. Even the primordial chaos must be opened up, and even the primordial energy must be divided into two opposing sides!
The Xuanhuang sword energy pierced into Kundulun's body, tearing his flesh apart with a hiss. Amidst the shockwave of the sword light, Kundulun was shattered to pieces!

Within the sword light, strange chains of Dao intertwined, forming the outline of a human body. As the sword light dissipated, flesh, bones, and internal organs grew from those strange chains.

Soon, Kundulun was revived.

“I am born of the Heavenly Dao, who can kill me?” Kundulun laughed.

Chen Shi tried using the Taoist magic on the green stele, but the green stele's magic could only suppress the strange Taoist chains and could not destroy them.

He also tried the Dark Sea Heavenly Path recorded in the Green Palace, but he still couldn't kill Kundulun.

Kundulun laughed loudly: "Heaven gave me life, and if you can destroy Heaven, then you can kill me!"

Chen Shi frowned slightly. Xiao Duan was fighting fiercely with the Great Xia soldiers. He looked over hurriedly and asked in doubt, "Is this demon really unkillable?"

More and more fierce soldiers from the Great Xia were surging in from all sides, leaving her flustered and overwhelmed.

Chen Shi said, “In my godmother’s Houde Heavenly Palace, I saw a Demon-Suppressing Well. Inside the well was another world, containing countless skeletons of great demons. Outside the well were the Eight Trigrams of Emperor Fuxi, as well as the divine patterns of other ancient deities. Since the creation of the Earthly Immortal Realm, the gods have used their own Daoist methods to refine these great demons, but these great demons do not die but remain alive. Given the opportunity, they will take the chance to climb out of the Demon-Suppressing Well.”

Emperor Fuxi, Empress Houtu, and the Antarctic Longevity Emperor—these beings are incredibly powerful, capable of easily slaying great demons. However, all they can do is suppress the demons' remains to prevent their resurrection. "In the Immortal Realm, there are also places with relics left by the Three Pure Ones, mostly Demon-Suppressing Wells. These wells also suppress great demons."

Chen Shi speculated, "Perhaps the Three Pure Ones also discovered that the Great Demon could not be killed, so they had no choice but to build the Demon-Suppressing Well to suppress it."

He looked at Kundulun and asked doubtfully, "Are there really celestial beings in this world?"

Kundulun laughed heartily, "I am born of the Heavenly Dao, I cannot be killed or refined! As long as the Heavenly Dao exists, I will not perish; as long as darkness exists, I will exist!"

Chen Shi pondered, "This person has great fortune... perhaps we can throw him into my godmother's Demon-Suppressing Well."

Kundulun's smile froze.

Chen Shi lifted him up, activated the Xuanhuang Sword Qi, and went to help Xiao Duan.

With his help, Xiao Duan's pressure was greatly reduced, and the two broke through the encirclement and headed straight for the distant Qing Palace.

In the distance, the Great Xia warrior with blue smoke rising from his head flicked his wrist and shot his giant sword at them. The unparalleled ferocity contained within the bronze giant sword erupted, suppressing the two men until they could hardly breathe.

This ferocious power was so strong that it even affected their consciousness, attempting to imprison their sea of ​​consciousness.

If their consciousness is imprisoned, the two of them will probably be unable to even move their minds!
Such ferocity is beyond the power of Taoist magic to counter!
Without hesitation, Chen Shi flung Kundulun towards the bronze giant sword, shouting, "Sacrifice!"

In that instant, Kundulun felt all the seals that had been suppressing his Daoist magic being released, and a surge of powerful Daoist energy flowed into his body, making him feel refreshed. However, the approaching bronze giant sword chilled him to the bone.

He roared incessantly, exerting all his strength and activating his magic to meet the sword strike head-on.

"Moro Tensei!"

Kundulun unleashed his power to its fullest extent, and with Chen Shi's combined power, this attack was comparable to that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

He activated his supernatural powers, causing his physical body to swell and transform into a colossal demon ten thousand feet tall, its muscles and body grotesque, its surface covered with strange Dao patterns, as it met the bronze sword.

With a loud bang, Kundulun's hands were severed, his arms exploded with flesh and blood, and half of his body evaporated, almost turning him into a skeleton!
But his desperate strike also deflected the bronze greatsword, sending it flying past him.

Kundulun, surging with his remaining cultivation, turned around in mid-air, his face contorted with rage, knowing this was the perfect moment for him to turn the tables.

However, the moment he turned around, Xiao Duan had already flown over and launched a powerful attack from all directions.

Kundulun had no choice but to take the blow head-on. Just as he received Xiao Duan's divine power, Chen Shi flashed past him like a ghost and appeared behind him. He quickly pointed out the Jade Purity Free and Easy Finger and pressed all the major acupoints around Kundulun's body.

Kundulun was frozen in place, then laughed in fury: "You two adulterers!"

Chen Shi ignored him, grabbed him, and rushed forward, bypassing the Great Xia soldier.

Xiao Duan followed behind him, waiting for an opportunity to act.

The couple worked together seamlessly. When the Xia soldiers attacked, Chen Shi summoned Kundulun and broke the seal. Kundulun had no choice but to fight back. After being injured, he was suppressed by Xiao Duan for a moment. Chen Shi then used the Jade Purity Free and Easy Finger to seal him again.

The two of them fought their way through the encirclement and finally arrived at the Green Palace.

Before the Azure Palace, a group of imposing bronze-armored warriors stood tall, their bodies even more robust and their ferocity even greater. Their flesh and blood showed no signs of decay, their bodies were intact, clearly indicating that they were extremely powerful in life and were the strongest in the Great Xia era!
"Even if Kundulun is shattered, we still can't break in!"

The two were secretly worried.

Kundulun was even more worried: "Those two scoundrels will probably try to torment me again!"

He felt a deep sorrow in his heart. He was a great demon seed, and these two were old demons!
Just then, the gates of the Azure Palace suddenly opened, and nine towering streams of resentment emanated from them, mixed with incredibly intense flames. The flames, amplified by the resentment, transformed into demonic fire capable of incinerating everything, and swept towards the Great Xia soldiers!

The soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty unleashed their fierce auras, fighting against the resentful demonic fire. The two sides were locked in a stalemate, neither gaining the upper hand.

Seeing that the demonic fire spewing from the gates of the Azure Palace was incredibly fierce, but there was a passage more than a meter high in the middle that was completely free of flames, Chen Shi hurriedly said, "Let's rush through!"

The two immediately rushed forward, disappearing into the Green Palace one after the other.

Kundulun, captured by Chen Shi, also entered the Green Palace. His heart pounded, and he thought to himself, "These nine emperors of the Great Shang Dynasty have been suppressed for so many years, filled with resentment towards heaven and earth, their demonic nature deeply ingrained. They harbor hatred for the destruction of their kingdoms, their clans, and their lineages; they are the strongest demon gods in the world! Yet, they have no physical bodies. If I can seize this opportunity to absorb them, I will become a Great Luo Demon Immortal!"

Suddenly, a loud boom came from behind, and the gates of the Azure Palace closed, cutting off the demonic fire and the malevolent energy.

The previous commotion vanished, replaced by silence.

Utterly quiet.

Chen Shi put down Kundulun and looked around.

This Green Palace was different from the one he had seen underground in Penglai. The underground Green Palace had a courtyard and was divided into a front hall and a rear hall, forming a U-shape. This Green Palace, however, was in the form of a small temple, with a gate tower in the front, a small courtyard in the middle, and a main hall in the back.

The place is solemn and dignified; one wonders what purpose the cultivators of the Dark Sea had in building the Azure Palace back then.

Chen Shi looked at the wall, where there were some blurry characters, but they had been scraped off, leaving only a few scattered patterns, which were quite mysterious.

"Who scraped the writing off the wall?" he wondered to himself.

He tried to find a complete piece of writing, but unfortunately he couldn't.

In the main hall of the Azure Palace ahead, there were rows of golden coffins, each one roughly the size of three rooms.

There were nine golden coffins in total.

Xiao Duan was filled with excitement and quickly walked to the front of the Qing Palace Hall, where he respectfully kowtowed to the nine golden coffins.

"Ziqi's bloodline has finally returned, seeking the inheritance of his ancestors." An ancient and weathered voice echoed in the Qing Palace Hall.
