"A master who has entered the Dao?!"
He Ping narrowed his eyes and slightly curved his lips.
"Well done! A mere Yuanmu is not qualified to force me to use my 'mutual destruction' tactic..."
He looked up at the sky, his gaze focused on the heavens, where the Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi were scattered, and the " Great Veiling Curtain Method " that shrouded the island was almost broken. The dense black clouds that stretched from the sky to the ground were torn to pieces, revealing a huge hole, and the scattered clouds looked like cotton wool being blown away.
In the sky, within the gaping hole, the fleshy ball rapidly expanded like an inflating balloon, transforming in the blink of an eye into a fleshy sphere tens of feet tall, giving the impression of a mountain of flesh.
The skin on the surface of the mountain of flesh was as pale as corpse flesh. Painful groans came from the fleshy surface. Countless faces twisted and deformed on the spherical surface, turning into fleshy protrusions. It seemed that there were old people, children, men and women, all trapped in this huge ball of flesh. Every face was grotesque and hideous, like a group of ghosts from hell.
"This is?"
He Ping frowned and muttered to himself.
Is it the " Great Compassion Thousand Hands Grade " from the Mud Sect's " Lotus Ascension Scroll "?
The < Lotus Ascension Scroll > is the orthodox method for entering the path of the Mud Sect. It is divided into nine grades, including the " Black Mud Grade ", " Form-Emptiness Grade and Emptiness Grade", " Great Compassion Grade ", and so on. Mud Sect practitioners can start with any one of these grades and cultivate all the way to the realm of entering the path without any hindrance.
"That's right, the newcomer must be ' Hundred-Armed Demon Child ' Xiao Wubei. He is one of the three strongest Dao-entry level masters among the Lotus Seat Master the Mud Sect!"
Chixinzi's voice rang out.
"What a pity! Even such a master will perish here today..."
Whoosh! Gusts of wind swept through the air as hundreds of thick arms stretched out from the ball of flesh, each arm, over ten feet long, had a mouth in its palm.
"Boy, you have the inheritance of the Sanyuan Devil Palace. I'll give you a chance. Hand it over to me immediately, and I'll spare your life!"
!"
Hundreds of mouths, making sounds together.
Xiao Wubei was unusually excited. As the Lotus Seat Master, he knew very well that the three powerful figures in the sect—the three Ghost-Person Bodhisattva who had to hide in the Youluo Realm for a long time to avoid the First Nether Emperor You, a powerful earth immortal, had long ago issued a decree that anyone who could find clues to the Sanyuan Devil Palace would have made a great contribution to the sect and would have the opportunity to compete for the long-vacant position of sect leader.
He had long coveted the position of sect leader, but since his debut, " Hundred-Armed Demon Child " Xiao Wubei had relied on his unparalleled talent to be arrogant and unruly within the sect. Over the years, he seemed to be maneuvering with great skill, but he had offended almost everyone he could.
He has enemies outside the sect, no allies within it, and can't get along with any faction... He's essentially a lone wolf, so seizing the position of sect leader won't be easy for him.
"However, if I were to obtain the inheritance of the Sanyuan Devil Palace, such a great achievement would be enough to make the three Bodhisattvas look at me with new respect, and the position of sect leader would be just around the corner!"
Xiao Wubei received this news only a few days ago. He had a minor interaction with Zangling, a junior from one of the four branch altars and one of the seven great spirit envoys of the East, over a trivial matter. Upon suddenly receiving this information from Zangling, he was overjoyed.
Among the three major lineages of the Sanyuan Devil Palace, the Upper Origin Purple Dipper Lineage is the most illustrious, followed by the Lower Origin Cave Yin Lineage. As for the Central Yuan Clear Void Lineage, there are very few rumors about it, and even within the Mud Sect, few people know about it.
To prevent Zangling from passing the message on to the other Lotus Seat Master, Xiao Wubei did not inquire about information regarding the Central Yuan Clear Void Lineage. Instead, he used the Secret Method of the Mud Sect to cross the boundary and send the message over. Now, his reckless and foolish actions have naturally brought about disastrous consequences.
"Hehe!"
Upon hearing the threat from " Hundred-Armed Demon Child " Xiao Wubei, He Ping sneered. He stretched out his hand, raised his middle finger, and gestured towards the sky.
As soon as the provocative action was completed, a strange light flashed in his eyes. Then, the energy around his body surged, his robes billowed, and the shadow of his throne on the ground instantly enlarged, swallowing the sixteen demon banners on the ground into the shadow.
"Heavenly Emperor Shizhang, adorned with the Heavenly Gang, why do the five evil spirits vanish? With a single breath of light, ten thousand ghosts lie dormant. Great Sage of the Heavenly Gang, slay into the hearts of the ghosts! So be it!"
His right hand formed a mudra, and he chanted incantations rapidly, like a machine gun. At the same time, his other hand formed a sword mudra, pointing towards the southeast.
Just then, an unusual aura emanated from the altar and instantly permeated the entire Volcano Island.
Along with this aura, the world changed, the wind rose and the clouds surged, and a dark cloud appeared in the sky at some unknown time.
This dark and heavy cloud was entirely condensed by the Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi, secretly gathered by He Ping, and sent into the sky to transform into a flowing cloud.
The flowing clouds were inconspicuous in the sky. At this moment, he activated the restriction, and the Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi quickly flew from the horizon. At first, it was only half an acre in size, but in an instant, it spread out like a rolling black tide, filling the space between heaven and earth, and crushing down with a booming sound.
This process was incredibly fast; vast swaths of Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi surged wildly, like an inverted black pot, instantly engulfing the entire island.
Whoosh whoosh--!
A vast, dark mass appeared amidst howling winds. Neither " Hundred-Armed Demon Child " Xiao Wubei nor Yuanmu of Mulberry Island had time to react before their vision went completely dark. When they opened their eyes again, a thick, viscous black cloud had already descended, completely covering them from all directions. The dense fiery aura obscured the sun, and they were trapped within this black cloud.
"Not good!"
Suddenly, alarm bells rang in Xiao Wubei's heart Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi spread in all directions, unstoppable. But that was nothing. His divine soul was powerful, and in an instant, he sensed a chilling aura rising from the island below.
"What... what happened?"
The people of Yuanmu Island were completely baffled. The restrictions that He Ping had set up on the island could be said to be the work of a great cultivator and a great Divine Ability being from the Sanyuan Devil Palace. How powerful were these restrictions? With the Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi hanging down from the sky, no matter how powerful your abilities were, you would definitely not be able to fly out for a while. If you were delayed for even a moment, you would be Ten Thousand Calamities.
boom!
On the island, the white smoke from the volcano's crater turned into thick, black smoke, which was also fiery black energy. It rose directly into the air and combined with the Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi. The two combined, heavy and gloomy, dyeing everything around them pitch black.
At this moment, Xiao Wubei and the people of Yuanmu Island, who were on the Volcano Island, were immediately filled with horror. They saw that the vast void was filled with black gas, and all directions suddenly became quiet. The temperature of the entire island was also rising rapidly, and what was even more terrifying was that the invisible pressure was increasing.
The air on the island was incredibly heavy. Xiao Wubei and Yuanmu Laodao felt a heaviness in their scalps, as if a heavy iron weight was pressing down on them.
With a hiss, the black cloud, resembling an inverted cauldron, received support from the fiery Sha Qi within the earth, its density growing increasingly terrifying, instantly increasing the power of the restriction tenfold.
At the same time, with the original location of the altar as the center, the ground continued to crack, cracks burst open, large areas of solid earth melted, and a burst of crimson flames mixed with rolling Sha Qi surged up, followed by magma continuously spewing out from all directions.
"Come on! Let's perish together, and let the world be destroyed!"
He Ping let out a low roar, and the entire volcanic ley line shifted in that instant. The energy of this crustal tremor was unleashed, undoubtedly a true display of the power of heaven and earth. In a fraction of a second, the volcano erupted.
The deafening roar of thunderclaps spreading across the entire sea area in an instant.
The crater spewed out a large amount of red light; it was flowing magma.
In that instant, the entire island turned into a sea of fire. The ground on the island cracked open, and scorching torrents gushed out.
In the blink of an eye, lava surged forth like a tsunami, a violent force generated by the tremors of the earth's fiery veins and the impact of the earth's crust, squeezed out from the depths of the earth.
It should be known that if this power were to be unleashed, its surging momentum would affect everything tangible and intangible within its range. If it were to encounter such a force, even a hundred Daoist masters would be pulverized by this vast and boundless power of heaven and earth!
At this point, four words almost simultaneously surfaced in the minds of Xiao Wubei and the old Daoist Yuanmu—
"The situation is as precarious as a pile of eggs!"
