The Mountains and Rivers Diagram Unleashes Its Might!
The final match of the Confucian Sect Assembly was between Mo Huazhi and Song Ziming.
All the major Confucian Sect have bet on Mo Huazhi this time.
After all, Mo Huazhi was the Master's Disciple, and she displayed amazing talent when facing Xie Wenyun, the genius of the Nanlu Academy.
The two stepped onto the dueling platform, ready to clash.
The Saint, Great Confucian, and Confucian Scholar students of the Nine Great Confucian Sects were all paying close attention to this competition.
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng's expression changed.
"They've arrived."
Lu Changsheng had long ago foreseen, through the system, that something bad was about to happen at the Confucian Sect Assembly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At the Confucian Sect Assembly venue, a series of explosions rang out, and black smoke billowed out!
"Oh no, it's Poison Mist!"
"Hold your breath and take the Detoxification Pill!"
"Ah! It's no use. This Poison Mist can corrode the flesh!"
"Run!"
Chaos reigned at the Confucian Sect Assembly, with screams of agony from Confucian Scholars echoing throughout the venue.
The Poison Mist spread, and hundreds of Confucian Scholars died from the deadly poison.
"Do it!"
A group of Rogue Cultivator Confucian Sect suddenly attacked other Great Confucian and Confucian Scholar in the vicinity.
A Great Confucian at the Immortal Emperor Realm was struck by the opponent's palm, leaving a black handprint on his chest. The poison entered his body, and black blood continuously gushed from the corner of his mouth.
"No!"
A Great Confucian was stabbed by Dagger, and the poison entered his body. He tried to expel the poison with his Righteous Qi, but the poison spread too quickly. His Dantian was destroyed, and his body began to rot.
People were filled with anxiety, and the various Confucian Sect were unable to distinguish friend from foe, so they attacked each other.
"Who dares to cause trouble on Ziyang Mountain?"
Master saw that the Confucian Sect Assembly had turned into Purgatory.
This time, Ziyang Academy was hosting the Confucian Sect Assembly, and the other side caused trouble here, showing absolutely no respect for the Ziyang Academy.
"What... what is that?"
The Confucian Sect disciples in the hall all looked up at the top of Ziyang Mountain, where they saw boundless Demonic Clouds shrouding the Firmament.
The overwhelming Devil Qi even formed the shape of a demonic dragon, baring its fangs and claws, churning within the Demonic Clouds.
Master, Lord Nanhua, Yellow Dragon Lord, Bai Shuming, Recluse Yi'an, and other Confucian Sect all rose to their feet, gazing up at the Demonic Cloud with solemn expressions in their eyes.
Instead of eliminating the petty thieves trying to take advantage of the situation, they remained on high alert, focusing on dealing with the presence within the Demonic Cloud.
The Imperishable Imperial City shook, and the totems on the 480 stone pillars within the city lit up, with the protective Barrier covering a thousand miles.
The mortals and Xiuzhenzhe within the Imperishable Imperial City stared in panic at the Barrier above their heads, bewildered by what had happened.
Several terrifying auras stood on the eaves of the palace, pointing towards the direction of the Imperial Palace.
"They seem to be from the Demon Realm."
The Immortal Dragon Emperor placed his hands behind his back, his deep eyes seemingly piercing through layers of Demonic Clouds.
An old eunuch stood by, saying, "Your Majesty, this person is up to no good."
"There's more than one Demon Venerable... Immediately inform the Heavenly Court and request Heavenly Court intervention."
"This old servant obeys."
The old eunuch turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared from the roof of the Imperial Palace.
"Hmph, trying to leave?"
From within the Demonic Clouds, a majestic voice resounded, and a gigantic demonic hand slammed down from the clouds, intercepting the green smoke.
The old eunuch had no choice but to reveal himself, striking out with his palm to collide with the demonic hand.
"Puff!"
Unable to withstand the terrifying power contained in the demonic hand, the old eunuch was slammed down from the Nine Heavens, crashing heavily towards the Imperial Palace, causing more than a dozen palaces to collapse.
If the Barrier of the Imperishable Imperial City hadn't mitigated some of the impact, the force of the old eunuch's fall might have destroyed most of the palace complex.
"The Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable?"
The Immortal Dragon Emperor's expression turned solemn as he recognized the presence within the Demonic Clouds.
The Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable is one of the most powerful Demon Venerable, and countless High Antiquity Heavenly Court experts have fallen to him.
The Devil Qi of the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable enveloped the entire Imperishable Imperial City, and he was able to contend with the entire city-protecting formation on his own.
"The Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable..."
The Master gazed at the Demonic Clouds and saw the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable standing within the churning Demonic Clouds.
The Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable Darkness was tall and imposing, like a sovereign, looking down upon all living beings below.
"Not only the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable, but also the Cold Bone Demon Venerable, the Demon Venerable of the Blade Prison, and other Demon."
Yellow Dragon Lord reached for the wine gourd at his waist with his right hand, Righteous Qi silently poured into the gourd.
"This is bad."
Sweat beaded on Bai Shuming's palms. With these Demon Venerable joining forces, even the Nine Great Confucian Sects might not be a match for them.
Not all the Saint from the Nine Great Confucian Sects came. Apart from the Ziyang Academy, only a handful of Saint from the other Eight Great Confucian Sects attended.
"This is the Demon Venerable?"
"Their aura is simply too terrifying... I have absolutely no desire to resist..."
The Confucian Scholars from various Confucian Sect felt the terrifying pressure from the Demon Venerable and were filled with despair.
"They really are from the Demon Realm. Only they could possibly have attacked the Confucian Sect Assembly. But what is their purpose?"
Lu Changsheng had seen the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable and the Cold Bone Demon Venerable more than once.
Besides these Great Demons, there were other unfamiliar faces among the sky-covering Demonic Clouds.
The Demon Venerable of the Demon Realm have arrived, and there are more than two of them.
"Um?"
Lu Changsheng saw a slender figure beside the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable.
Isn't that Dantai Meng?
Dantai Meng also noticed Lu Changsheng. She was first surprised, then annoyed.
What's this guy doing here?
However, it's perfect timing. I've experienced countless life-and-death situations in the Eternal Dream Demon Realm, and my Devil Cultivation Method arts have reached perfection. I've already stepped into the God King Realm, so I can teach him a lesson.
"Father, let me deal with him."
Dantai Meng pointed her finger at Lu Changsheng and gently bit her red lips.
She had been defeated by Lu Changsheng more than once, and now that her Devil Cultivation Method were fully developed, how could she not take revenge herself?
"You two, protect my daughter well. If she is lost, you two will be buried with her."
"Yes."
Two Devil Lords at the God King Realm protect Dantai Meng.
The Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable believed that Dantai Meng, with two Devil Lords by her side, was enough to deal with Lu Changsheng.
His target was the Saint of the Confucian Sect.
"Were you ordered by the Demon Marshal to attack the Confucian Sect Assembly?"
Master, Yellow Dragon Lord, and Lord Nanhua arrived in mid-air and confronted the Great Demon.
"The Nine Great Confucian Sects killed many of our comrades in High Antiquity times. Today, they will pay for their blood debts. There's nothing more to say."
The Cold Bone Demon Venerable's tone was icy, sending chills down one's spine.
Lord Nanhua said to the other two Saints, "The Demon Sects infiltrated the venue, most likely using the Disguise Pills refined by the Cold Bone Demon Venerable. I didn't expect they could fool our eyes."
"Only this person could refine such Demon Pill."
Master was no stranger to these old rivals.
"Let's do it."
With Demon Sects his hand, the Cold Bone Demon Venerable Lord unleashed a burst of power from the Demonic Clouds, unleashing a horde of the Demon Realm Xiuzhenzhe were determined to annihilate all the powerful figures of the Confucian Sect Assembly!
Prepare to face the Demon!
"We, the Nine Great Confucian Sects, are not to be trifled with!"
"Never underestimate us Confucian scholars!"
The million Confucian cultivators inside the venue unleashed their respective Law Treasures, their multicolored lights illuminating the heavens and earth as they engaged in battle with the Demon Realm Xiuzhenzhe.
"It seems today's contest cannot continue. There will be other opportunities for us to fight again in the future."
Song Ziming's Righteous Qi flowed into the Writing Brush transformed into a giant Law Treasure, knocking away a Demon who attempted to ambush him from behind.
"Good."
Mo Huazhi held a Spirit Brush in each hand and simultaneously wrote with great skill on two sheets of Xuan paper.
Multitasking, yet writing flows effortlessly!
The two sheets of Xuan paper shone brightly with gold, and two Phoenixes soared into the sky from within the paper, lifelike in appearance.
These two Phoenixes were formed by Mo Huazhi using her Righteous Qi, and each of them possesses the combat power of the Immortal Emperor Realm.
"I lost..."
Song Ziming, the greatest genius in the history of the Tianming Academy, was ashamed of himself after seeing Mo Huazhi's amazing performance.
The Phoenix, wreathed in flames, devoured several Demons.
These Demons didn't even have time to struggle before they were reduced to ashes.
"One Sword Across the Ages!"
Lin Qingzhi used the Sect-Defending Cultivation Method of the Taihua Sacred Ground, and the several Demons were reduced to nothingness in the face of the sharp Sword Qi.
As Changsheng Sect's Chief Grand Disciple, Lin Qingzhi, with the consent of the patriarchs of the Holy Lands, is also qualified to cultivate the Sword Art left behind by the Taihua Goddess.
"Hundredfold Primordial Force!!"
Relying on the powerful physique honed by the "Azure Emperor Longevity Art," Lu Qinglian unleashed Hundredfold Primordial Force, her immense fist power utterly crushing a Demon at the Immortal Emperor Realm.
"The moon and the sun, the Sun and Moon Wuji!"
Shen Xiaoyao and Tang Ling’er worked together to unleash the "Sun, Moon, and Stars Cultivation Method".
Shen Xiaoyao's Pure Yang True Qi merged with Tang Ling’er's pure Yin True Qi, transforming into Primordial Chaos energy to fight against the Demons coming from all directions.
Lu Changsheng stopped Dantai Meng and the An’an Devil Lord and other powerful figures to prevent them from attacking his disciple.
He had already realized that Dantai Meng had reached the cultivation level of Ninth-Grade God King, and the two God King Realm Demon Venerable she brought with her were far stronger than Changsheng Sect's disciples. He absolutely could not allow them to face off against his disciples.
"Hmph, Lu Changsheng, this time, I'm not afraid of you."
Dantai Meng activated her Devil Cultivation Method, her Devil Qi swirling around her, clearly demonstrating her cultivation as Ninth-Grade God King.
She deliberately let Lu Changsheng know her strength, so that he would feel despair.
"The sky has cleared up again, and you think you're all set for yourself now?"
Lu Changsheng couldn't understand Dantai Meng's thought process.
Why doesn't Dantai Meng learn her lesson?
"This Young Lady always seeks revenge." Dantai Meng opened her palm, revealing a bell —the Eternal Dream Bell, the Law Treasure she had used before. However, Dantai Meng's expression changed drastically. "How is this possible? You've become Ninth-Grade God King too?!"
Lu Changsheng also released his aura without any concealment.
Who isn't a Ninth-Grade God King?
Dantai Meng nearly collapsed.
She had gone through countless life-or-death battles in the Eternal Dream Demon Realm, narrowly escaping death, before finally breaking through to the God King Realm in a short time. Yet Lu Changsheng seemed to have done nothing, and he'd already reached the God King Realm?
"Damn it, I'll show you the true power of Eternal Dream Bell Young Lady!"
Dantai Meng chanted a spell, activating the Eternal Dream Bell. An invisible spiritual attack transformed into a spear, piercing towards Lu Changsheng, aiming to destroy Lu Changsheng Divine Sense.
Lu Changsheng remained unmoved.
"Fool! The Eternal Dream Bell may seem like Spatial Law Treasure, but it's actually a mental Law Treasure with numerous mental attack methods. No matter how strong his physical body is, once his Sea of Consciousness is shattered, he'll become a walking corpse."
An’an Devil Lord and another Devil Lord knew how terrifying the Eternal Dream Bell was. Dantai Meng used the True Qi of Ninth-Grade God King to activate the Eternal Dream Bell. Even An’an Devil Lord could not withstand the mental attack of the Eternal Dream Bell.
In their view, Lu Changsheng was doomed.
However, the moment the Eternal Dream Bell's spiritual spear struck Lu Changsheng 'Sea of Consciousness, the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda appeared and shattered the spiritual spear.
The mental attacks from the Eternal Dream Bell had no effect on Lu Changsheng, who possessed the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda.
With Lu Changsheng's physique tempered and the Soul-Suppressing Bell, Dantai Meng of killing him was nothing short of delusional.
"You..."
Dantai Meng was stunned.
This guy is clearly only an Initial God King, so how come he has so many Dao Artifacts? And he's so hard to kill?
"Third-Grade Dao Artifact, this kid really has a lot of Law Treasures, and his growth rate is far too fast..."
The An’an Devil Lord was drenched in sweat. He recognized the grade of Lu Changsheng's Law Treasure and was shocked by Lu Changsheng's astonishing growth rate.
"Young Lady, we'd better not provoke this boy. Let the Demon Venerable Lord deal with him..."
Seeing Lu Changsheng's calm and relaxed expression, the An’an Devil Lord became increasingly aware that something was wrong.
It seems they are the prey.
When Dantai Meng discovered that Lu Changsheng's cultivation level was the same as hers and that he possessed numerous Law Treasures, she was equally shocked and broke out in a cold sweat after calming down.
She knew all too well what would happen if she couldn't deal with Lu Changsheng.
Dantai Meng of retreating.
It was too late.
Lu Changsheng then took out a scroll from his robes.
The scroll unfolds, revealing a landscape of mountains, rivers, the Sun, Moon, and Stars.
"This is... Mountains and Rivers Diagram!"
Dantai Meng cried out in alarm, "Could it be that this time...?"
"Come in here."
Lu Changsheng activated the Mountains and Rivers Diagram with all his might.
That Dantai Meng, if I don't teach her a lesson, she's always causing trouble.
The Mountains and Rivers Diagram transformed into a world, like a black hole, threatening to swallow Dantai Meng.
The Mountains and Rivers Diagram generated a powerful suction force, and Mountains and Rivers Diagram Dantai Meng's body was swallowed up by it.
"Young Lady!"
The two Devil Lords, including the An’an Devil Lord, exclaimed in surprise.
Dantai Meng was actually taken away by Lu Changsheng!
If anything happens to Dantai Meng, they will all be executed along with her.
However, with the Mountains and Rivers Diagram in his hand and the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda in his Sea of Consciousness, Lu Changsheng could not kill Lu Changsheng An’an Devil Lord and his group no matter what, let alone rescue Dantai Meng.
Furthermore, what if their indiscriminate attacks injure Dantai Meng, who is trapped inside the Mountains and Rivers Diagram?
"Ahhh!!"
Dantai Meng discovered that she had been captured inside the Mountains and Rivers Diagram, and she became hysterical, almost going crazy.
She was captured alive by Lu Changsheng once again!
It was only because of the demonic power of the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable that Lu Changsheng didn't kill her; if it were anyone else, Lu Changsheng would have killed them long ago.
"My disciple, do you still dare to disrespect your master?"
Lu Changsheng's voice came from outside the Mountains and Rivers Diagram, like that of a deity.
The Mountains and Rivers Diagram is Lu Changsheng's Law Treasure. Dantai Meng, trapped inside the Mountains and Rivers Diagram, can only be manipulated by Lu Changsheng.
Dantai Meng originally intended to threaten Lu Changsheng, but remembering that this guy was only responsive to gentle persuasion and not to be threatened, in order to save her life, she had no choice but to lower her voice, reveal a pitiful look in her eyes, and look at Lu Changsheng with a pitiful expression. "Master~ I know I was wrong~ Please, please let me go, okay?"
"..."
Lu Changsheng was stunned.
It seems this guy already understands Lu Changsheng's personality.
Lu Changsheng really does respond better to gentle persuasion than force.
"You brat, if you dare touch my daughter, I will kill you!"
Upon seeing that his daughter had been captured by Lu Changsheng, the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable quickly sent a telepathic message.
He only has one precious daughter. If Lu Changsheng were to do anything to her, he would definitely go on a killing spree.
