The Battle of True Martial's End
"Ah, what a great opportunity, what a pity!"
Yang Tianyou sighed. The Giant God Army Corps had been severely damaged. If he were to deliver another Nirvana Slash that reversed the Primordial Power, it would be very likely to annihilate them.
However, Yang Tianyou dared not use up all his Primordial Power; he had to keep some as a backup plan, since no one knew if the Nine Phoenix Realm had any other trump cards up its sleeve.
The battle is not over yet; we cannot rashly use all our cards. We must leave ourselves a way out.
If things become unmanageable, one can lead the Purple Moon Army to retreat.
Thus, the heavily damaged Giant God Army Corps was firmly suppressed by the Purple Moon Army and Yang Tianyou and his wife, and the battle situation turned in their favor.
Just as the Yang Household and the Giant God Army Corps were locked in a fierce and perilous battle, the other three battlefields were also experiencing intense fighting.
As Bandit Cultivator, True Lord Tianhai far surpasses the Lava Army Corps in both his understanding of the Dao and his combat experience. Furthermore, water overcomes fire, thus putting the Lava Legion under pressure.
If it weren't for the Lava Army Corps occasionally using a Sixth Tier, Supreme Grade Forbidden Artifact or Talisman, they might have already been defeated by True Lord Tianhai.
After all, among the four major legions of the Nine Phoenix Realm, the Lava Army Corps is the weakest.
Two sides have the advantage on one battlefield, while the other two sides are at a disadvantage.
The Radiant Phoenix Army Corps lived up to its reputation as a powerful force of the Nine-Phoenix Clan, even surpassing the Divine Wind Army Corps. With the aid of Forbidden Artifacts and Talisman, they completely suppressed the Lu Wu Army Corps, putting them at a disadvantage.
The Jianming Legion and the True Martial Sacred Lord were evenly matched, but when the former took out a dozen Talisman, the True Martial Sacred Lord's face twitched, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.
"The Taiyi Soul-Slaying Forbidden Tome!"
The first talisman used by the Jianming Army Commander was a strange Talisman with a blackish-gold hue.
This Talisman resembles a book about the width of an index finger, with its cover covered in dense, eerie patterns, exuding an aura that can destroy souls and steal spirits.
"Go!!"
They joined their fingers to form a sword, pointing it from afar.
The black book turned its pages, igniting a raging black flame. This flame was not scorching; instead, it appeared extremely cold and eerie.
A strong wind swept by, the flames flickered, and with a whoosh, it broke free from the Taiyi Soul-Slaying Forbidden Tome and disappeared into the space.
When it reappeared, the black flames had already attached themselves to the True Martial Sacred Lord and were converging towards the location of his Sea of Consciousness.
"Attack the soul?"
The True Martial Sacred Lord was greatly alarmed and hurriedly activated his Divine Sense to weave a net, attempting to block the black flames.
"The Taiyi Soulflame is Greater Divine Ability created by Grandmaster Taiyi after breaking through to the Void Refinement. It is specifically designed to destroy the souls of cultivators. Even after being refined into Sixth Tier, Supreme Grade Talisman, its power is greatly reduced. However, it is still something that someone like you, who only has the combat power of the Void Refinement Realm through Spirit Invocation Technique, cannot resist!" Jianming Army Commander smiled smugly.
However, just to be on the safe side, he activated the remaining two copies of the Taiyi Soul-Slaying Forbidden Tome.
Two jet-black Taiyi Soulflame, as dark as Abyss, swayed and streaked across the sky, directly entering the mind of the True Martial Sacred Lord.
At the same time, the Jianming Legion controlled the sword formation, condensing endless Sword Qi into a long river of Sword Qi that could destroy everything, stirring up boundless winds and clouds, and rushing towards the True Martial Sacred Lord.
They were preparing to seize the opportunity and eliminate the master of the True Martial Sacred Land from the inside out.
Unexpectedly, at that very moment...
The True Martial Sacred Lord, whose face was originally contorted with rage due to the burning of his soul, suddenly calmed down and began to utter Daoist proverbs.
"Pure Yang Limitlessness, Nine Revolutions of the Profound Art... Tortoise and Serpent Coiling, True Martial Dang Mo..."
With each word he uttered, the True Martial Sacred Lord's aura grew stronger, and the brilliance in his eyes dimmed slightly.
When the complete Hundred-Character Admonition was uttered, the aura of the True Martial Sacred Lord was as vast and boundless as the sun in the heavens.
"A powerful force sweeps across heaven and earth, the Five Elements Pure Yang, let it spin!!"
With a sharp shout, five-colored light burst forth from the True Martial Sacred Lord, like sweet rain from heaven, instantly extinguishing the Taiyi Soulflame raging in his Sea of Consciousness.
Then, the five-colored radiance condensed on the Five Elements Pure Yang Sword, transforming into a vast sword domain covering tens of thousands of miles. Within this sword domain, the Five Elements transformed into Yin-Yang, depending on each other and endlessly rotating, ultimately forming a strange sealing power.
Countless Black and White threads emerged from the void, weaving like a silkworm cocoon, tightly enveloping the Jianming Legion.
"Huh? How is that possible?"
Jianming Army Commander was dumbfounded, never expecting that True Martial Sacred Lord would have such a move.
However, upon seeing the latter's increasingly listless demeanor, he immediately understood.
"Hmph, sacrificing one's lifespan and soul for one's senior brother's breakthrough, how deeply moving... But, if you're destined to die, you still have to die..."
As soon as the words were spoken, a deafening Dragon Roar suddenly Yunxiao.
Boundless Sword Qi condensed, forming a cyan sword dragon with gleaming scales, bared fangs and claws, and flowing Dragon Whiskers.
The ten-thousand-foot-long sword dragon roared repeatedly, its tail swung like Heavenly Sword across the sky. In an instant, the sky turned as blue as water, and Spiritual Qi surged and roared, shattering space after space.
"Ha, let's try this one!"
The Jianming Army Commander took out three identical white Talisman, smiled coldly, and immediately activated them.
Chant!!
The Jianming rang out again, merging into one, and finally condensing into three Ten Thousand Swords Formation.
This Formation, upright and magnificent, revealed a terrifying aura of slaying immortals and destroying gods the moment it appeared.
The Sixth Tier, Supreme Grade Talisman, the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal-Slaying Talisman, is no less powerful than the Taiyi Soul-Slaying Forbidden Tome. Activating all three Talisman simultaneously would be more than enough to severely injure an ordinary Void Refinement expert.
Chant!! Chant!!
The Dragon Roar came first, followed by the Sword Cry.
One in front and one behind, one green and one white, one above and one below, with a loud bang, the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram was shattered into pieces.
The True Martial Sacred Lord suffered a backlash, spitting out mouthfuls of blood with a "pfft," his once black hair instantly turned white, and his normally rosy skin became as withered as a dead tree.
"Senior brother, junior brother is going first..." True Martial Sacred Lord murmured, then stretched out his right hand and tapped his chest several times.
Countless runes appeared, forming a miniature Formation. An extremely terrifying evil aura erupted, and the originally sacred and extraordinary True Martial Sacred Lord instantly transformed into a demon.
"Demon-Perishing Tribulation Art!!"
Yang Tianyou, who was watching the battlefield, was startled. This method was created by a brilliant genius when the Devil Race invaded the Lu Wu Realm. It emphasizes using immortality to transform demons and righteousness to transform evil.
The stronger one's will and the more righteous one's spirit, the more powerful this method can be.
The Demon-Perishing Tribulation Art is Secret Method of mutual destruction, with extremely harsh conditions for its use. It is clear that the True Martial Sacred Lord was well-prepared, not only using the Spirit Invocation Technique but also having the Demon-Perishing Tribulation Art ready long ago.
"True Martial Demon-Sealing Technique!!"
The True Martial Sacred Lord spoke softly, his body suddenly transforming into a ray of demonic light.
The surging demonic light outlined a massive cage, enveloping and imprisoning the Jianming Legion.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The Jianming Legion charged wildly, but to no avail; they couldn't break free of the cage anytime soon.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized again, Yang Tianyou withdrew his gaze and focused on assisting the Purple Moon Army in fighting against the Giant God Army Corps.
As time passed, the Nine Phoenix Realm gained an increasing advantage.
"Damn it, at this rate, the Old Man Zhui Dao's breakthrough time won't be enough!" Yang Tianyou's heart trembled slightly, and the Primordial Power within the Creation Space began to boil, ready to be used to stabilize the balance again if the battle turned unfavorable.
Now that the Nine Phoenix Realm has used up most of its trump cards, it can be a bit bolder.
"What?"
However, just as Yang Tianyou couldn't help but use the remaining Primordial Power again, a terrifying aura suddenly rose from the True Martial Sacred Mountain.
"How could he have broken through so quickly?"
Not only Yang Tianyou, but other powerful figures also had the same thought.
