From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world
Chapter 196: The Final Battle at the Ninth Sky Peak
In the previous chase, Zhu Can fully demonstrated his speed advantage as a golden-winged Roc, making Xu Xing unable to catch up. In just a few breaths, the two of them had reached an altitude of more than thousands of feet.
The clouds here are thin, and the invisible strong wind has turned pure green, like thousands of sharp blades hanging here, constantly colliding with each other, and splashing out purple-blue electric light.
According to the Taoist school, those who have refined their own true talismans and have the ability to fly far away are called "feathered priests." However, the sky at this height is a remote place even for the Taoist feathered priests.
No matter whether it was the strong wind that condensed into a substantial wind blade or the violent burst of lightning, they were beyond their ability to resist. Anyone who was touched by them would end up with no remains left.
Only masters at the level of True Immortal or Great True Immortal are qualified to stay here, but it will also consume a lot of mana and they cannot stay here for a long time.
But when Zhu Can arrived here, he was like a fish in water. He reached another level at an already astonishing speed, like a golden rainbow that tore through the storm and thunder, and disappeared ten miles away in an instant.
Wherever Zhu Can passed, electric snakes rose and fell, interweaving into a vast pool of thunder. The wind whistled like thousands of swords hanging, clanging and clanging, it seemed like a natural wonder formation.
If an old master who has studied formations for decades or even hundreds of years saw this kind of formation arrangement, he would be dumbfounded and ashamed.
But for Zhu Can, it was just instinct.
Xu Xing couldn't control himself and rushed headfirst into the wind and thunder formation. The thunder gathered like powerful arrows, but the scale had reached the level of one hundred thousand or one million arrows. The fierce wind was pervasive and slashed at the man everywhere.
The Asura demon held a sword and a spear in his hands and shouted loudly. His whole body was filled with blazing blood and heat. As the sword and the spear swung, Yin thunder and blood flames burst out, confronting the wind and thunder head-on.
The Vajra Buddha body holds the lotus seal in his hands, and the five secret realms are opened, revealing the five bodies of Tathagata. He sits in the five directions, and based on the Vajra Mandala, he forms the Mandala Dharma Realm.
The wind and thunder bombarding the Dharma Realm could only stir up a burst of glassy light and a series of crisp sounds like jade cups breaking, one continuous line of clear and pleasant sounds.
However, although Xu Xing's body was held back by the formation and he could not catch up, he still had a way. The Dharma body of the True Martial Emperor in the three-faced image shone brightly from between his eyebrows.
The Dharmakaya held up an ancient mirror in its left arm, like a bright moon hanging in the sky. The moonlight fell and penetrated directly into Zhu Can's heart, making his supernatural powers and thoughts inexplicably stagnant, and his body sluggish for a moment.
At the same time, the Dharma body grasped the Ximo Sword tightly in his right arm and slashed at Zhu Can who was a hundred miles away. The sword tip hummed incessantly, making a sonorous dragon roar.
The clear sound of the sword chanted nine times in an instant, transcending several layers of void structures, like a flying sword that was ethereal and invisible, coming and going without a trace, and slashed out from Zhu Can's heart.
Zhu Can had originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity when Xu Xing was held back by the wind and thunder formation to turn around and fight back, but he did not expect that Xu Xing actually had such swordsmanship, and the golden flame in his pupils suddenly dimmed.
At this moment, Xu Xing's whole body shook, and he exerted his strength like a Buddha, stretching out two giant arms that were shining with golden light and had twisted muscles. He clenched and opened his ten fingers, and with the tremendous strength of a diamond, he tore the wind and thunder formation into pieces.
Xu Xing took a step forward and crushed the barrier of the void into pieces. The Asura demon changed his form to the front, holding a blood knife and a thunder spear, and bringing with him strong winds, thunder and fire. He came in front of Zhu Can and attacked him.
Zhu Can smiled coldly, waved his hands, and his sleeves fluttered, revealing behind him two huge wings that were big enough to cover the sky and the sun, like clouds hanging from the sky.
The wings flapped forward, and hundreds of thousands of feathers shone brightly, wrapping Xu Xing up, and then they were about to flap their wings and fly away.
Once Zhu Can used his full strength, he immediately displayed strength that was close to that of an immortal. Even Xu Xing's body, which had been blessed with a number of magical powers such as the "Vajra Dharma Intention" and the "Five Elements Tribulation Evil", could hardly hold on.
He only felt that the sword and spear in his hand were as heavy as mountains, and his whole body was cut by invisible sharp energy. As soon as the hot blood splashed, it was frozen into ice crystals by the strong wind and shattered into pieces.
Because of this, Xu Xing laughed even more wantonly, and whistled:
"As expected of a descendant of Tianpeng, what magical powers!"
When Zhu Can heard this condescending praise, he not only felt angry, but his face also became strange.
——Why do I feel like you care about the identity of this Tianpeng bloodline more than I do?
The whistling sound has not stopped yet, the Buddha's image is formed into a seal, the mandala realm reappears, the gilded scriptures float up, forming chains, and coordinating with the five secret realms. The "Zhenwu Haotian Mirror" also flies up, adding to the power of the seal.
Since the magical power of opening the void was unleashed, the world within a radius of ten miles around the two of them was completely trapped. This time, Zhu Can also felt what it meant to be carrying mountains, and more than one mountain!
The mandala's Dharma realm condensed, and Zhu Can's figure, which had originally soared into the sky, was pressed down again.
Zhu Can himself was actually a man who had learned Taoism, Buddhism, and magic. He was stunned at first, then laughed and said:
"I am an expert at using the Buddha's Word Shackles, but I have never tried to use them together with my own Void-Breaking Divine Power. What a feeling!"
As he spoke, Zhu Can flapped his wings, causing them to collide with the criss-crossing chains of scriptures that formed a dense web of heaven and earth. The friction produced a sharp and harsh sound, and countless sparks flew, creating an extremely brilliant scene.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu threw away the Ximo Sword, closed his eyes and meditated, concentrating on controlling the sword, while the magnificent scenery of the North Star Region and the Seven Stars of Xuanwu appeared above his head.
The Ximo Sword seemed to have lost its form and melted into the starlight, becoming vague and ethereal, leaving only Gao Miao's sword intent without a trace.
After absorbing the star power of March in the Seven Star Well, Xu Xing was finally able to form the "Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation" again, using the power of the Northern Black Tortoise to increase his might to destroy demons.
Although this star power is difficult to replenish, once it is formed into a formation and coordinated with the "Sounds from the Sky of the Twelve Jade Towers", its power is terrifying.
Even Zhu Can, who had experienced two lifetimes, reincarnated through catastrophes, and whose cultivation was close to that of an immortal, still felt his hair stand on end when he was illuminated by the sword light.
The sword chanted nine times, and the sharp golden light was completely destroyed, turning into tiny gold flakes that floated in the void, decorating this place with golden splendor, which did not seem like a scene from the human world.
In Zhu Can's opinion, although Xu Xing's Buddhist teachings are profound, he is only good at defense and not good at attack, so he does not pose much of a threat. Although Asura's swords and spears are sharp, they cannot hurt his tough body.
However, the sword energy and sword intent are extremely dangerous and must be handled with extreme caution.
After feeling this sense of crisis, Zhu Can's expression became solemn for the first time.
Before this, the reason why Zhu Can had tried every means to test Xu Xing and was unwilling to confront him head-on was that he wanted to kill Xu Xing without paying any price.
But when he truly realized Xu Xing's strength, this thought was immediately destroyed.
Zhu Can's body shook, and his robes fluttered up, as if he was in the wings behind him. The golden light was brilliant and dazzling, making it difficult to look directly at it, as if the sun had returned.
Beyond the golden light, there is a Tai Chi diagram that is interwoven with black and white and rotates endlessly. Although it only has two colors, it seems to be all-encompassing and contains everything.
The blood flames and dark thunder of Asura's demon body were completely swallowed up as soon as they rushed into it, and the Nine Transformations Clear Sound also became blurred and hoarse, making it difficult to hear clearly.
——It can even affect the purified sword intent that transcends the void structure and directly acts on the laws of heaven and earth?
Although he had known that Zhu Can was unfathomable and an enemy worthy of his all-out efforts, Xu Xing was still surprised to see him display such means.
Zhu Can has fully manifested his Taoist body, which is a divine being that is ninety-nine feet tall, with wings drooping, shining golden armor, and stepping on a black and white Tai Chi diagram.
The golden light condensed into a line, like a line dividing the heaven and earth and judging the clear and turbid. It was the most upright and the most straight. Xu Xing recognized that this was not the golden body of Sima Chengzhen, which was condensed from the primordial energy and controlled by the primordial spirit. Instead, it was a body derived from the body's physical body like himself and An Lushan.
Looking at it this way, Xu Xing suddenly felt that his and Zhu Can's paths did have a lot in common.
However, the aura emanating from Zhu Can now is indeed closer to the unique rhythm of Sima Chengzhen and Li Yunxian than his own.
——Is this the secret of the true immortal realm in this world?
However, compared with the two senior True Immortals, Zhu Can, who is now a little immature and has not yet fully taken that step, is more suitable for Xu Xing to discuss.
In this world, the practice from visualization and contemplation all the way to the realm of great immortal is to cultivate the foundation of the Tao step by step. Only when one reaches the stage of ascension to heaven can one achieve a complete transformation.
Only when practitioners break free from the constraints of the laws of heaven and earth and reach a peculiar level that transcends the material level, can they touch the guiding spiritual light in the dark and ascend into the sky.
Xu Xing also had a vague understanding that the so-called "upper world" in this world did not seem to exist in the form of the void structure he was familiar with, but was something else mysterious.
In the past, there were Heavenly Talismans as a reference, so if one wanted to reach this point, there was always a method to rely on and a path to follow. But now, if one wants to become a true immortal, the cultivator must blaze his own trail.
Coincidentally, Zhu Can felt the same way when he saw Xu Xing's three-headed, six-armed body. He chose to stop attacking for the time being and said:
"Since we are fellow Taoists, if you are willing to become sworn brothers with me and acknowledge me as your elder brother, I will teach you the Dharma and help you achieve the status of a true immortal."
Zhu Can knew that the man in front of him was extremely difficult to deal with. Among the enemies he had ever encountered in his life, he was probably only inferior to the former demon.
Therefore, he did not mention anything like kneeling and kowtowing, but his tone was still as arrogant as ever, fully displaying the arrogance of a powerful leader.
Xu Xing just smiled calmly when he heard this, but he keenly sensed the other meaning in Zhu Can's words and laughed loudly:
"No wonder you are willing to hide here and remain in seclusion for decades without coming out. It turns out that you are trying to prove the way to true immortality."
Although the demon sect's heavenly demon position and the true immortals have their own expertise, their ways of seeking enlightenment are not the same.
The path to transcendence for a true immortal is to constantly purify one's own Taoist foundation, achieve all kinds of immortal light and immortal spirit, seek resonance with the upper realm, and ascend into the sky.
The path to transcendence for the Heavenly Demon is to continuously spread out his own nature, forming a demon realm, a demon kingdom, and eventually contaminating the entire world.
This is also why the vast starry sky of this world has become a paradise for demons.
However, the devil's way was not designed for the cultivators to transcend, it was just a way to imitate the demon clan. Therefore, the powerful demons who made it to the end of this world ended up with no way to go any further.
If you want to infect the whole world with evil, let's not talk about how the "upper realm" will react. Just look at the vast starry sky, among the demon lords who are eyeing this world covetously, which one of them is a good person?
Therefore, they are vying with each other to stand out.
However, the magic system is strictly hierarchical, and it is not easy to enter but difficult to exit. You are not allowed to leave at all.
Even someone like Xu Xing, who used his second soul to split the laws of the Demon Sect, had to constantly be contaminated by the demonic energy. Over time, there would always be a moment when he could no longer hold on.
Especially those who are at the level of Heavenly Demon, this world has existed for thousands of years, and no one has been able to transcend it.
Zhu Can was a creature created by the magic of the Eastern and Northern branches of the Demon Sect. He was born with the mark of the Demon Sect, which was deeply rooted in his bones and was extremely difficult to break free of.
Zhu Can heard this without refutation. He stared at Xu Xing with his sharp eyes and said naturally:
"You are also carrying the legacy of the Demon Sect. Even if you have other means to temporarily avoid the influence, can you hide forever?
This king's pursuit of true immortal status will naturally attract the covetousness of the demons. If I have the help of a fellow practitioner like you, I will have an additional 30% chance of overcoming the calamity and becoming an immortal.
You can take this opportunity to get a glimpse of the Heavenly Demon's means of seizing the Dao, and you can also get this kind of help from the King. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
Xu Xing responded calmly:
"In terms of the ability to seize the Dao, King Dapeng is not necessarily weaker than those Heavenly Demons."
Zhu Can naturally knew that Xu Xing was talking about the incident of taking away Nangong Hen's Yin and Yang Qi in the past, but he didn't care at all and laughed loudly:
"I have defeated others by force and wisdom, so what is shameful about that? If you are worried about my reputation because of this, it is understandable.
But everything I, Zhu Can, have done in this life is for the sake of the four words "Dao Changsheng". I will never do anything meaningless. If I kill you, I can get such a resource, and I will not be stingy. "
Zhu Can's words were full of sense of rightness and reasonableness.
In his opinion, with Xu Xing's qualifications, and his willingness to waste his time on many unorthodox methods, he must be restricted by the magic system.
Zhu Can was most familiar with this kind of depression and frustration that I felt was as vast as the sky, and he also felt that he could understand Xu Xing's thoughts.
For people like them, as long as they can break free from it and fight for a way to transcend, what is the difficulty? !
Upon hearing this, Xu Xing was silent for a moment.
Zhu Can's expression became more and more satisfied, thinking that he had touched the deepest part of this person's heart.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand if you think about it. People like them who are well-versed in all schools of thought are rare in the world.
Now I have a fellow practitioner and we can confirm what we have learned with each other. The benefits I have gained are beyond my imagination.
But after a moment, Zhu Can did not receive Xu Xing's reply, but only saw a skeleton of white bones breaking out of the Dharma body, stepping into the crack of the void, and disappearing in an instant.
Although his muscles and bones were stripped off, Xu Xing's aura became even stronger. He looked arrogant, took a step forward, and laughed loudly:
"Stop talking nonsense. I just want to know the quality of your golden-winged roc!"
Zhu Can screamed:
"You dare to be distracted when fighting me? You are courting death!"
"What, you don't accept it?"
Xu Xing once again broke through the barrier of the void and came in front of Zhu Can. He waved his three heads and six arms together, and displayed all his magical powers of Buddhism, Taoism, and magic.
For a moment, the entire sky was filled with lightning and thunder, heroic laughter shook the sky, and the earth, water, fire and wind moved together.
"Then I will beat you until you surrender!" (End of this chapter)
