Chapter 381 - 240: One Against Two, Human Experts Come to Aid, Ziwei Immortal Sect, Taiwei Daoist Sect
"You think you’re enough?"
Young Master Xiao, dressed in red and holding a Feather Fan, scoffed.
He clearly didn’t take them seriously.
Li Exi’s brow furrowed. "Everyone, be careful. Young Master Xiao is the seventh son of Emperor Wangling. His Cultivation is profound, and the Divine Techniques he commands may surpass our own!"
Yao Guang and Yu Linglong nodded in unison.
Young Master Xiao gently waved the Jade Fan in his hand. In an icy tone, he said, "Lu Mingyuan, the most foolish thing you’ve ever done was overestimating yourself and coming to Celestial Water City. Now, you will pay the price."
"I can sense that a part of this Crown Prince of Great Yan’s aura is connected to the Buddhist Sect. It would be best to let this Lord Buddha deliver him from his suffering," the Great Buddha of Heart Delusion said, rubbing his large belly as he stepped forward.
A cold glint flashed in Young Master Xiao’s eyes. "He is my prey. No one will take him from me."
"This Lord Buddha hasn’t taken action in a long time. Xiao, you should just give Lu Mingyuan to me!" the Great Buddha of Heart Delusion said, refusing to back down.
It was clear that both the Great Buddha of Heart Delusion and Young Master Xiao were extremely confident in their own power. Even with numerous Cultivators acting as guards, they were still sure they could capture him alive by themselves.
"Do not be insolent toward His Highness!"
Among the Cultivators, one Sword Cultivator in magnificent jade-green robes was the first to strike. He unleashed a massive wave of sword light, and the sound of it tearing through the air echoed repeatedly.
"A mere Nascent Soul dares to make a move? You’re like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."
Young Master Xiao sneered.
He pointed a fair, slender finger into the air.
Ripples of Ghost Qi gathered, forming an enormous, fanged demonic head.
The sky-rending Sword Qi, which had seemed so incredibly sharp, was swiftly devoured by the fanged head, consumed without a trace.
Meanwhile, the Great Buddha of Heart Delusion also struck without hesitation, giving the Human Race Cultivators little chance to react. With a wicked smile, he uttered, "Amitabha Buddha," and the bizarre black markings on his body began to pulse with a dark, eerie light.
He slammed his five fingers onto the ground and began to chant:
"Netherworld Prayer God Skill: Lightless Hell."
A series of rumbles echoed from the ground, like the whisper of an Ancient God. A five-meter-tall, crimson-lacquered gate slowly rose from the earth, resembling a monster’s gaping, bloody maw.
Countless fiendish shadows poured out from the Gate of Hell, pouncing on the Great Yan Army. Anyone touched by a shadow would fall into a daze as their strength was gradually siphoned away.
First their Magical Essence Qi, then their Fleshly Vitality, and finally their Qi Blood Essence Qi.
’This Great Buddha of Heart Delusion is a cultivator from the Heart Demon Race.’
Lu Mingyuan had taken in the scene, discerning the Great Buddha’s origins in a single glance.
The Demon Race is the most powerful of the Ten Underworld Races.
It is subdivided into three branches: the Celestial Demons, the Giant Demons, and the Heart Demons.
The Celestial Demon Race are born as demons. They possess abilities and a talent for learning gifted to them by the Holy Nether Divine Beings. No matter the Divine Technique, they can instantly master it.
The Giant Demon Race lives deep underground, growing by the Refinement of various Earth Vein Crystal Stones. They are typically massive, with nearly indestructible Flesh Bodies. Their thick hides make them an extremely difficult foe.
The Heart Demon Race typically originates from the Human Race. They are humans who cultivated the techniques of the Demon Race, lost their sense of self, and had their hearts corrupted by a Demon Barrier. Most are what you would call Fallen Demons.
These three branches of the Demon Race are also known as the Three Demons of Heaven, Earth, and Man.
Lu Mingyuan recalled that he had practiced the Divine Prayer Skill in his second life. Because of this, he could see that the Great Buddha of Heart Delusion’s methods were extremely advanced and Skilled. This was clearly no ordinary Demon Cultivator, but a Divine Envoy who had received the favor of an Evil God.
Only believers with the deepest faith in the Divine Beings can receive a greater measure of Divine Power and become a Divine Envoy.
Under the influence of the Gate of Hell, many of the Cultivators were unable to fight effectively.
Yao Guang summoned seven Flying Swords from the Purple Gold Sword Nurturing Gourd at his waist. He executed a Sword Technique Killing Array, annihilating the fiendish shadows one by one.
But soon, more fiendish shadows poured out from the Gate of Hell, seemingly without end.
Seeing this, Yao Guang’s expression turned grim. He shot into the air, grasped one of the Flying Swords, and slashed a massive beam of Sword Qi toward the Gate of Hell.
Unexpectedly, the moment the Sword Qi touched the Gate of Hell, it was instantly reflected.
Fortunately, a veiled beauty in a white conical hat arrived, holding an Eight-leaf Luo Umbrella. Ripples spread from the Luo Umbrella, forming an invisible wall of air that blocked the Sword Qi, neutralizing the attack completely.
"Thank you, Linglong Sect Master."
Yao Guang let out a breath and looked to the woman beside him, offering his thanks.
Yu Linglong gave a solemn warning, "This Gate of Hell seems capable of absorbing anything, including Soul Mana and even Divine Techniques powered by Mana."
As she spoke, Young Master Xiao’s expression turned cold. "This ends now," he declared, performing a Ghost Skill. "Ghost Banner, rise!" Sixteen small black flags shot out and planted themselves in every direction.
A massive Grand Array rose, encompassing a hundred-li radius.
One after another, fanged Fierce Ghosts clawed their way out of the ground. They converged, forming a hundred-meter-tall, one-eyed giant that stomped toward the group.
Quick to react, Li Exi produced a Yellow Daoist Talisman. It formed a radiant shield large enough to hold a hundred people, protecting everyone within.
The Daoist Talisman was pinned to the ground by a Flying Sword, giving off fragrant smoke as a third of its power was instantly consumed.
In the next moment, the one-eyed giant let out a roar and smashed its fist into the shield.
CRACK!
In an instant, the shield was shattered.
All the Cultivators were sent flying by the shockwave.
A playful look on his face, Young Master Xiao approached, the giant following behind him. He stopped ten meters in front of Lu Mingyuan.
"I alone am enough to capture you," Young Master Xiao said smugly.
Lu Mingyuan said coolly, "Do you really think you have me cornered? This Crown Prince has no time to waste. If you want to fight me, you can all attack at once."
"You’re courting death!"
Young Master Xiao suddenly whipped his Jade Fan. Eighteen incredibly solid, cursed sigils flew out, transforming into eighteen ferocious Exotic Beasts of various shapes and sizes. Each one radiated a terrifyingly evil and ominous aura.
