Gou Dao Changsheng: Starting from the Reincarnation of a Demon Cultivator

Chapter 853 The battle intensifies, the Jade Abyss Dao fades away.

"receive!"

Yang Xu's expression hardened, and his fingertips rapidly changed their hand seals, unleashing a chilling magic seal.

"Frosty Flame, Ice Condensation Technique!"

Beneath the crimson aura surrounding the giant axe, icy blue flames swirled, and layers of icy ice froze the puppet threads encircling the axe.

The mighty axe that Chao Yuyuanzi swung down was momentarily halted.

"call!"

Yang Xu, his body radiating magical power, exhaled a breath of turbid air, still shaken.

"Fortunately, I obtained a Frost Spirit Flame in the vast icy plains, which I used to seal the magic weapon; otherwise, Fang Yi's scheme would have succeeded."
"Yu Yuanzi himself is unharmed, but he was injured by me. If he returns to the sect, won't those scoundrels laugh at him for sixty years?"

Deep within the Jade Water Pavilion, misty vapors rise, and the solemnity of the laws and regulations pervades the secluded cave.

Ruan Yuxi held the Nether Spring Pearl in her hand and stepped barefoot on the water. Seeing that the Ice Flame Axe had been frozen solid by the Xuanbing ice, she felt a little relieved.

"Master's scheme has indeed succeeded!"

"You dare to ambush my master outside my Jade Water Pavilion?"

"Wow!"

Within the spiritual spring, a fierce and savage aura calmed down, and a corner of a dark armor plate could be vaguely seen flashing by.

Ruan Yuxi's eyes sparkled with spring water, her aura flowing gently like a spring on a rock, nourishing things silently.

She will definitely intervene if things go wrong.

Whoosh!

The Overturning Sea and Sky Banner billowed, casting wisps of blue light that transformed into layers of water curtains, stopping the Jade Ruler and the Azure Wood Whip, whose momentum was undiminished.

Yu Yuanzi was certain that her risking her life had not been in vain; once Yang Xu made his move, the Fire Worship Cult would surely follow suit.

Her gaze shifted and landed on Fang Yi.

Fang Yi slightly closed his eyes, and the Three Lives Stone in his soul shone brightly. The Corpse God Child with silver hair fell into his sea of ​​consciousness, and his soul had already broken through to the ninth level of Core Formation without him even realizing it.

As the cycle of life, death, decay, and prosperity circulated, I sensed the barely perceptible energy within the Azure Water Pavilion, which subtly posed a threat.

'Indeed, the lineage is well-established, and it also has the support of Zoroastrianism.'
A top-tier sect that has been passed down for eight hundred years cannot possibly lack any profound foundation.

Fang Yi's gaze swept over Yang Xu, sensing the collision between the Azure Water Pavilion and the Xuan Yang Qi. A crimson sun suppressed all directions, and the Azure Water Spirit Spring transformed into a black-armored spirit tortoise.

In the dim light, a method caused the illusory figure to shine brightly, blessing the black-armored spirit turtle.

The already intense clash of energies will reach new heights.

He murmured to himself, 'True cultivators from the Nascent Soul sect are truly troublesome.'
A top-grade magic weapon refined with cold-attribute spiritual flames—no cultivator in the Great Cloud Realm could possess such wealth.

Tian Quezi summoned me to join forces with Zhang Hengyi and You Xishan. Regardless of the outcome, our objective has been achieved.
As for Yu Yuanzi's life or death, it doesn't affect the overall situation; it only affects our gains.

Fortunately, we had planned ahead.

Feeling the yeast in the Guiyuan Gourd at his waist, Fang Yi slightly closed his eyes. Among spiritual objects that can benefit mid-stage Core Formation cultivators without damaging their foundation, Guiyuan Blood Wine is the only one he has ever seen since he began cultivating in the Great Cloud.

With a flick of his finger, the invisible puppet threads shattered instantly, and a wisp of blood-red light shone from within them.

'Heavenly Craftsmanship Method: Worrying.'

'Secret Techniques of the Demon: Shared Soul'

"A wondrous technique: The Art of Poisoning Through a Mechanism."

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The puppet threads surrounding the Azure Water Pavilion, like snakes flicking their tongues, were all coiled around the Ice Flame Giant Axe.

"change!"

'Green bones transform into poisonous miasma'

'Dissolve poison.'

'Destruction of the ban.'

Fang Yi murmured to himself, then lightly clapped his five fingers together. From within the Ice Flame Giant Axe and the puppet silk, a colorful poisonous aura spread upwards, seeping into the axe with each breath.

"It's the Poison Master's innate poison essence!"
"How could such a profound lineage of poison cultivation exist in this remote and impoverished place like Dayun?"

Yang Xu, who was about to unleash the Ice Flame Axe to shatter the puppet silk, had a solemn expression and could not care about anything else.

"town!"

He waved his hand and threw out a precious pearl. Crimson spiritual light cascaded down like a waterfall, constantly cleansing the gray miasma and dissipating the sweet, cloying energy.

In an instant, all the plants withered, the hundred-mile-long spirit fish in the lake were completely destroyed, and the shimmering lake water turned into a black swamp with a pungent stench.

Watching the Black Prison Pearl suppress the poisonous miasma from the Ice Flame Axe, Yang Yu exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"Fortunately, it wasn't the Poison Master himself who made the move; he only borrowed a wisp of poison essence. Otherwise, contaminating the magic weapon's origin would have been a huge problem."
Now all it takes is a little effort to force out the poisonous miasma.

"Green Bone Poisonous Mist? Is it Chi Mingzi's innate poisonous essence?"
Fortunately, Master Yang Xu was wealthy; otherwise, he would have been struck by the Ice Flame Axe, which was infused with his own poisonous essence.

Sensing the familiar aura, Yu Yuanzi murmured softly, his sharp gaze sweeping over Fang Yi, Zhang Hengyi, and You Xishan.

"One Grand Master and two Sect Masters—Xuan Yang Mountain's scheme against me is truly extravagant."
Unfortunately, their skills were slightly inferior.

As he watched the poisonous miasma gradually being suppressed on the Ice Flame Axe, Yu Yuanzi's eyes flashed with killing intent.

"Stay here for me!"

"Boom!"

Under the restrictions of the Azure Water Pavilion, the three islands trembled, and beams of azure spiritual light shot into the sky, transforming into a spring.

Yu Yuanzi extended his jade-like index finger and pointed, and an ancient water ripple appeared in the spring.

This book, Canglang Spring, has been refined by successive generations of immortals from Biyue Pavilion, and possesses the power to purify, restore vitality, and heal.

Its defensive capabilities are no less than those of a high-grade magic weapon.

It was her biggest backup plan to guard against a Xuan Yang ambush, so as to prevent Xuan Yang Mountain from using any underhanded tactics.

But now, looking at Fang Yi and Tian Quezi's gloomy faces, she chuckled softly.

Yang Xu was born into the Zoroastrian sect and was wealthy. He was a top-tier Grand Master and was even superior to her in terms of magical combat.

In at most ten more breaths, the poisonous miasma will be suppressed; all that's needed is to hold back Fang Yi, Tian Quezi, and the other two.
"Now that you three fellow Daoists have arrived, don't leave!"

From the source of the Canglang Spring, gurgling water flows out, meandering through nine bends and eighteen turns, accompanied by the sound of the clear spring flowing, turning the surrounding area of ​​a hundred miles into a swamp.

"Wonderful Method: Canglan Marsh"

"Brother Yang Xu, please help me!"

"good!"

Yang Xu's fingertips changed into hand seals, his eyes revealing dissatisfaction; the Ice Flame Axe was a top-grade magic weapon.

Although the Great Yu is richer in resources than the Great Yun, its top-grade magic treasures are also rare and precious. If he were even a moment too slow in his actions, the essence of the magic treasure would be corrupted by this poisonous miasma.

"Slay a sect leader."

A murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and his divine sense locked onto Fang Yi from afar.

"Regarding the demon clan in the Ten Thousand Mountains, a Grand Master is sufficient to oversee things at Xuan Yang Mountain."
"You brat, die!"

"boom!"

The Ice Flame Axe emitted a brilliant crimson light, its fierce aura soaring into the sky.

"The last breath."

Watching the Ice Flame Axe being trapped by the poisonous miasma, forced to the size of a thumb at the axe handle, Yu Yuanzi's robes fluttered, and he waved the Overturning Heaven and Sea Banner in his hand once more.

"Wonderful Technique: Thousand Waves!"

"This is the moment!"

Fang Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp light. The Great Master had used all his skills and had no more tricks up his sleeve.

"Senior Brother Xishan, make your move!"

He never believed that a covert attack could severely injure or even kill Yu Yuanzi.

This wary, self-reliant master emerged from the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, and confronted Huang Guangsheng and Tian Quezi for a long time.

Even if Xuan Yang Mountain has its reservations, if Yu Yuanzi is incompetent, why wouldn't Tian Quezi be willing to support one or two puppets?
Gazing at Yang Xu, whose aura was fierce and surrounded by flames, his gaze swept over Yu Yuanzi, who held the Canglan Spring in his hand, protecting himself impenetrably.
You Xishan murmured to himself.

Hopefully, things will turn out as Junior Brother Fang predicted; otherwise, the two of them working together would be far too troublesome.
Moreover, the Jade Water Pavilion.

His eyes sparkled, and his peripheral vision swept over the magical barriers of the Azure Water Pavilion.

How could a third-tier superior-grade Heavenly Mystery Dao master, who had blocked the road at Thousand Lakes for ten years, have remained completely unaware?
"Crash!"

Runes flowed across the Zhou Tian Star Chart, the Twenty-Eight Mansions dimmed, and the illusory image of Xuanwu dissipated.

A layer of hazy starlight emerged, outlining a handsome cultivator with silver hair and flowing robes.

"A contingency plan left behind by Wugengzi!"

Yang Xu gazed at the poisonous creatures that had been more than half expelled, his eyes falling on the Zhou Tian Bagua diagram, his expression grave.

If Da Yun is someone he still fears, then there's Wu Gengzi, the founder of the Xuan Yang Mountain sect. He's a powerful figure whom even the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Fire Worship Sect admires.

You Xishan's expression was solemn, his five fingers trembling slightly as he cast the final incantation.

The handsome cultivator's eyes were cold and ruthless, like a machine, as his slender, white fingers extended out seemingly slowly but actually quickly.

As the stars illuminate, they evolve into the Big Dipper, a dipper-shaped constellation.

"The stars are the handle, and the condensed energy is the sword."

The sounds of sacrifice echoed in the darkness, and figures of ancestors in feathered robes and tall hats appeared, holding dove-shaped staffs and ancient tripods, bowing their heads in worship.

The faint sounds of sacrificial rites echoed.

"The Southern Dipper governs life, the Northern Dipper governs death, and the constellation Orion governs life and death; this is called the 'Sword of Death from the Northern Dipper'."

You Xishan's face was contorted with rage, veins bulging at his temples, as he roared.

"cut!"

The aura of the Starlight Ancient Sword receded, transforming into a seven-foot-long ancient sword, with the seven stars of Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, Tian Quan, Yu Heng, Kai Yang, and Yao Guang lighting up one by one.

"Zheng!"

"Brother Yang!" Yu Yuanzi's hair stood on end, and he hurriedly spoke. Cultivating Daoist supernatural powers was difficult and also the most troublesome, and impossible to guard against.

"Fellow Daoist Yu Yuan, rest assured, no matter how outstanding Wu Gengzi's talent may be, he is still not a Nascent Soul True Monarch."
They can't cause any big waves!

Yang Xu's cloud-like robes fluttered in the wind as he reached out and pulled out a crimson treasure mirror that rose from the altar of Nine Rivers Peak.

"Wonderful Method: The Burning of Crystal!"

'As expected, the Zoroastrianism had a backup plan, specifically targeting the Big Dipper Death Sword.'

As You Xishan gazed at the rising crystal mirror, he sighed inwardly, his body shimmering with starlight as he tried to escape.

'Now that things have come to this, a protracted fight will suffice.'

'Brother Xishan, don't be anxious.'

'Junior Brother Fang?' A hint of anticipation rose in You Xishan's eyes. If he could kill Yu Yuanzi, it would be of great benefit to him and his sect.

"Wonderful method: Puppet Dao Tongling."

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

A geometric seal, neither round nor flat, appeared between Fang Yi's brows, its sound echoing as gears turned.

The puppet threads within the Iceflame Axe twitched, and a dark golden poisonous essence was activated, transforming into a ferocious golden cicada phantom.

"boom!"

The phantom of the golden cicada, surrounded by poisonous energy, split in two and, passing through the treasure barrier, burrowed into the Ice Flame Axe and the Black Prison Pearl, attempting to corrupt and taint their source.

"Ah!

How could I be unprepared!

Yang Xu sneered, his divine sense surging. On the two high-grade magic treasures, the Ice Flame Axe and the Black Prison Pearl, seven magical barriers each emitted spiritual light.

"Wow!"

Two beams of light, one black and one white, rose up and swept towards the golden cicada.

Fang Yi's index finger twitched, and the phantom of the golden cicada spat out a beam of gilded fire, while the phantom of half a furnace of heaven and earth flashed away.

"boom!"

The black and white flames were split open, and the golden cicada phantom transformed into poisonous energy, entangling the essence of the magic weapon.

"Brother Yang Xu, the failure of our sect's decree to carry out its mission is not as serious as the loss of a high-grade magic treasure."

Yang Xu's expression changed slightly, and he hesitated in his heart.

If the Ice Flame Axe and Black Prison Pearl are corrupted in their essence, even if they do not lose their rank, it will be very detrimental to their future opportunities in the vast ice plains.

The Zoroastrian sect was a powerful force in the Great Yu Dynasty, and he wasn't the only Grand Master.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he made up his mind. Then, amidst Yu Yuanzi's gloomy expression, he activated the power of the Burning Heart Glazed Mirror to retract.

Three breaths!
Fellow Daoist Lao Yuyuanzi delayed for three breaths.

"Senior Brother Hengyi!" Fang Yi called out softly, his eyes cold.

Everything was going according to plan. How could a cultivator like Yang Xu, born into a great sect, possibly sacrifice himself for others and his own interests for Yu Yuanzi of the Biyue Pavilion?

"good!"

After waiting for a long time, Zhang Heng exhaled a breath of turbid air. A wisp of azure light faded from his body, and in an instant, his energy broke through to the seventh level of Core Formation.

The Great Void Shaking Cloud Boat emerged from his sleeve, his eyes filled with ruthlessness, and he spat out three mouthfuls of his natal essence.

"Boom!"

The wooden ship, carved from green wood, was surrounded by purple light, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring. A Taotie image appeared on the bow, and purple and blue lightning gathered in its deep, gaping maw.

"Azure Thunder Cannon!"

"boom!"

A divine lightning bolt, its body a deep purple-blue, struck out and, in an instant, pierced through layers of water curtains.

"The Technique Seal of the Pivot: Fang Yi is a third-tier high-grade puppeteer?"
Zhang Hengyi is a true master?!

Yu Yuanzi's body trembled as he sensed a life-or-death crisis. He frantically channeled his magical power, and the Overturning Heaven and Sea Banner in his hand spun around.

"Azure Wave Technique!"

unfortunately
Seeing the situation reverse, You Xishan's eyes gleamed, and he released a jade talisman from his sleeve.

"The Three Transformations of the Mysterious Star: The Star-Piercing Refinement Method!"

Within his dantian, a starlight surrounded the precious pill.

Although it is a genuine elixir, it has one bright and five hidden aspects, with six orifices emerging, evolving the true meaning of the Southern Dipper and outlining the profound starlight.

He spat out a scroll of star chart, which fell into the sound of the Big Dipper's sword pointing to death.

"Zheng!"

A faint sword light shone brightly, tearing through the glass mirror light that had lost its magical support, and slashed down towards Yu Yuanzi.

"Buzz!"

The precious light shattered, and after cleaving the jade shield, the killing intent of the Big Dipper Death Sword remained undiminished.

"The vast ocean returns to its origin, condensing water into a shield!"

As the urgent imperial edict sounded, Yu Yuanzi, with a reluctant expression, transformed the spring in his hand into a water shield.

"boom!"

Lightning flashed everywhere, and water vapor rose. To block the Azure Sky Divine Thunder Cannon, the spring that the Azure Water Pavilion had been refining for eight hundred years was destroyed.

Before Yu Yuanzi could even feel sorry for himself, the starlight shifted, and the Big Dipper's Death-Binding Sword had already fallen.

Amidst the snow-white expanse of her full bosom, a precious pearl rose, transforming into a bright moon.

"Water, moon, flower in a mirror!"

The moonlight gathered, transforming into a mirror-like surface, from which a graceful afterimage emerged, dancing lithely.

"Junior Brother Fang has gone to great lengths to create this deadly trap; how could I possibly waste it?"

The natal star hexagram appeared in You Xishan's eyes, and the power of the Big Dipper Death Sword increased by 30%.

It seems to be subtly trying to connect with the Xuan Yang Qi.

"Tear it!"

A sense of death settled over him, and the lingering figure draped in a moonlit veil was torn apart.
"boom!"

Starlight swirled, swords rang out with a clang, and a cloud of blood mist rose.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Ten feet away, Yu Yuanzi coughed up blood incessantly, his face deathly pale, and he looked at You Xishan with lingering fear.

"Unfortunately, this 'Big Dipper Killing Sword' was ultimately not delivered by Wugengzi."
"It gave me a sliver of hope."

"is it?"

A puppet with two horns on its head and wearing white bone armor, surrounded by gray light, appeared behind Yu Yuanzi.

Fang Yi spoke in a low, languid voice.

"Finally, we've forced Fellow Daoist Yu Yuan to reveal all his tricks."

Yuan Hai's eyes were cold as he silently touched Yu Yuanzi's dantian with his five fingers.

"puff!"

Withered fingers pierced through, blood rose, and a bright blue pill was pulled out.

"Puppet Technique: Piercing the Yuan"
