Three Rivers Bitter Cold True King!
Looking at the large scroll in Qi Yun's hand, which was emitting black smoke.
The Qi Refining disciples of Nine Kings Mountain turned pale, swallowing nervously, their legs trembling.
This... this is no Human Emperor Banner at all!
It's clearly the Ten Thousand Souls Banner!
The middle-aged cultivator from Nine Kings Mountain, who was in the lead, suppressed his fear and stepped forward with a fierce but weak voice, shouting, "Senior—you are Foundation Establishment True Person with profound Daoist skills."
To attack us junior Qi Refining at the Qi Refining stage—isn't that too unethical and contrary to the principles of immortality and morality?
Upon hearing this, Qi Yun was taken aback at first, then a very strange expression appeared on his face as he sneered, "Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"
You, under the guise of "acting on behalf of Heaven" and "subduing demons," have come uninvited, invaded my Northwest lands, destroyed mountains and temples, and slaughtered cultivators.
how?
"When it's your turn to face a powerful enemy, you suddenly remember to talk about justice and morality?"
So, the principles of this world are entirely determined by your own words?
You kill people and it's considered acting on behalf of Heaven, but others who retaliate are considered immoral?
This is absolutely ridiculous!
Speechless after Qi Yun's series of sharp retorts, the people of Nine Kings Mountain looked at each other, their faces burning with embarrassment.
The leading cultivator's face flushed red and then turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and stubbornly argued, "Hmph! You Devil Cultivator from the Northwest have committed heinous crimes and poisoned living beings, which is intolerable to Heaven."
We uphold righteousness, vanquish evil, and restore order to the world—what wrong have we done?!
"Oh.
Qi Yun, too lazy to waste any more words on this brainwashed fool, gently shook his head.
It's alright.
Once you have entered my Human Emperor Banner, your fellow members will thoroughly discuss with you "what is Heavenly Principle and what is the Right Path."
Having said that, he no longer hesitated and gently waved the dark black banner in his hand.
Splash!
On the banner, dark gold patterns depicting mountains, rivers, and the state suddenly lit up.
A terrifying suction force, like a black hole vortex appearing out of nowhere, suddenly erupted from the banner! The surrounding light distorted, the air reversed, and sand and stones flew everywhere, its target aimed directly at the group of cultivators from Nine Kings Mountain!
"Not good!"
"Master Uncle, save me!"
The Qi Refining disciples were powerless against this force, screaming in terror as they were pulled off the ground, about to be sucked into the world within the banner that led to the Avici Hell!
At this critical moment—
"You audacious fiend! How dare you harm the disciples of Nine Kings Mountain!"
A furious roar, like a thunderclap, exploded from afar.
The next moment, a dazzling golden light tore through the sky, moving faster than Divine Sense could react, arriving instantly above the group of Qi Refining disciples.
It was not a simple defensive shield, but a seemingly ancient talisman that contained the True Intention meaning of "stillness".
The moment the talisman appeared, the terrifying suction force emitted by the Qi Yun Human Emperor Banner seemed to have hit an invisible wall, and suddenly stopped.
Those Qi Refining disciples who were about to be taken away fell to the ground, still in shock.
Whoosh!
A figure then descended, blocking the path of the Nine Kings Mountain.
The newcomer was also dressed in the standard Daoist robe of Nine Kings Mountain, but his aura was profound, clearly indicating that he was a Foundation Establishment True Person.
He had a thin face, sharp eyes like an eagle, and nine different auras subtly flowed around him.
It is the secret of Nine Kings Mountain that has never been passed down – the "Nine Kings Descending to Earth: The Wondrous Talisman Scripture".
Looking coldly at Qi Yun, True Person Xuanping sneered, "What a fiend! A dignified Foundation Establishment True Person actually attacks Qi Refining junior! How shameless!"
After speaking, the Nine Kings Mountain True Person did not stop for a moment.
He then joined his fingers like a brush, using his own pure Law Power as ink and the void as paper, and rapidly sketched out the design.
In the blink of an eye, three illusory talismans, each with a distinct aura yet radiating a chilling energy, simultaneously coalesced in front of him!
The first one, entirely azure blue, with runes twisted like ice crystals and snowflakes, exudes an extreme chill that freezes the Divine Soul and seals all things—the Three Rivers Bitter Cold God King Talisman!
The second one, with an earthy yellow color and runes as thick and heavy as mountains, stirs the pulse of the earth and exudes a powerful Daoist intent that can bear all things and suppress all directions - the Five Sacred Mountains World-Suppressing Divine King Talisman!
The third one, appearing as a chaotic gray, with mysterious and unpredictable runes, disrupts the secrets of heaven and obscures spiritual consciousness— the Nine Netherworlds Mind-Bewitching Divine King Talisman!
"Go!"
True Person Xuanping changed her hand seals, and three divine king talismans flew out in a mysterious trajectory!
The Three Rivers Bitter Cold Divine King Talisman exploded in the air, transforming into an extremely cold domain that instantly froze the space within a hundred feet around Qi Yun. The air froze, his spiritual energy was frozen, and even his thoughts were frozen stiff.
The Five Sacred Mountains World-Suppressing Divine King Talisman transformed into the phantoms of five towering mountains, sealing off the four directions and suppressing the void, making Qi Yun carry the five mountains on his back, making it difficult for him to use his escape techniques.
The Nine Netherworlds Mind-Bewitching Divine King Talisman is the most bizarre, invoking inner demon illusions. Countless twisted whispers, past obsessions, and future fears surge like a tide, impacting Qi Yun's Purple Mansion Divine Soul.
The simultaneous appearance of these three talismans directly dragged Qi Yun into a predicament that was most unfavorable to his performance!
Ordinary Foundation Establishment True Person fall into this realm.
I'm afraid that in an instant their Law Power will stagnate, their mind will be lost, and they will fall into a disadvantageous position.
"Interesting." At the center of the domain, Qi Yun felt the heavy pressure and the impact on his Divine Soul, but a hint of surprise and interest flashed in his eyes.
The Talisman Art of Nine Kings Mountain are indeed unique.
To be able to use talismans to such an extent.
Convert the symbol into a field.
Really wonderful.
Faced with this Talisman Art world of murderous intent, the Human Emperor Banner beside Qi Yun suddenly emitted a crisp sound.
Three massive illusory formations suddenly appeared!
Like three lotus flowers of destruction, they bloomed around Qi Yun, forcefully creating a world.
Supreme Yin Chain-Form Grand Formation!
Dark array patterns outlined the void, and a pale, gloomy "obscure moon" rose into the sky, casting a cold and lifeless glow. Wherever it shone, the extreme cold domain derived from the [Three Rivers Bitter Cold Divine King Talisman] was completely frozen and assimilated.
Although the chill remained, it lost its agility and murderous intent, and instead began to nourish the power of Supreme Yin.
The Black Coffin Burial and Annihilation Grand Formation. Countless illusory black coffins emerged from the void, layer upon layer, emanating an aura of burying all things.
The Daoist intent that ends all depravity.
When the five illusory mountain images formed by the [Five Sacred Mountains World-Suppressing Divine King Talisman] descended, they were like mud oxen entering the sea, being worn away and devoured layer by layer by the endless intent of annihilation.
The suppressive power was channeled into the endless dark coffin, making it difficult to truly affect Qi Yun.
Naihe Eroding Wind Grand Formation! A strange, turbid, yellowish-brown wind, capable of dispelling all emotions and desires, and capable of corroding the bones and soul, arose out of nowhere and swept across the land with a mournful cry.
This wind blew straight into the Purple Mansion of the Divine Soul, colliding fiercely with the illusion of the mind stirred up by the [Nine Netherworlds Mind-Bewitching Divine King Talisman]!
Where the Eroding Wind passed, illusions crumbled and vanished like sandcastles being washed away; the whispers and wails that confused the mind seemed pale and powerless amidst the howling of the Eroding Wind!
Three grand formations clash with three divine runes of heaven and earth!
On one side lies the domain of rules derived from talismans, capable of freezing, suppressing, and bewitching the mind—its mysteries are extraordinary.
On one side were the tangible anomalies manifested by the Formation Art: Supreme Yin, Burial, and Soul Erosion, all domineering and unparalleled.
Two completely different forces collided, crushed, and annihilated each other in mid-air!
The icy blue chill intertwined with the pale Supreme Yin of the moon, the earthen-yellow mountain shadows and the shadowy burial coffins devoured each other, and the invisible, bewitching fluctuations and the blood-red, Eroding Wind clashed violently.
His mind went berserk, the void twisted, and a dazzling yet deadly explosion erupted, illuminating the entire Thousand Bones Sect mountain in a bizarre and surreal light, as if the end of the world had arrived.
"Law Treasure?!"
True Person Xuanping's light suddenly froze, staring intently at the seemingly inconspicuous black banner in Qi Yun's hand, her eyes gleaming with a strange light.
The power of Formation Art is indeed terrifying, and their scale is also quite grand.
However, its biggest drawback is that it is extremely troublesome and time-consuming to set up.
Even though array plates can be used to quickly Formation Deployment, their power will be greatly reduced due to the limitations of the carrier.
It is absolutely impossible to conjure up three such complete and powerful formations with just a slight wave of the banner!
Such Creation must be a magical Law Treasure!
In an instant, an uncontrollable burning light erupted in True Person Xuanping's eyes.
A magical Law Treasure capable of instantly casting multiple Formation Art is of immeasurable value.
If it falls into the hands of Nine Kings Mountain, with the advantage of its talismans and the power of its Formation Art, the sect's strength will surely increase dramatically.
The next instant, the righteous True Person's face hardened, he pointed at Qi Yun, and sternly shouted, "You scoundrel! How can you be so shameless, using your cultivation to cruelly harm a junior disciple!"
So it turns out they stole the Mysterious Heaven Banner heirloom passed down through generations of my Nine Kings Mountain.
His voice was loud and clear, and his face showed a look of heartache and righteous indignation as he demanded the return of his lost property. "Hmph! Quickly return this sect's Law Treasure."
Otherwise, I will surely destroy you both body and soul today, as an example for others!
Qi Yun, who was preparing to activate the great formation to counterattack, was startled by True Person Xuanping's sudden shameless words and paused in his movements, unconsciously widening his eyes slightly.
Even with his calm and collected nature, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hahahaha."
So this is what the so-called righteous path looks like.
"Looking at it this way, that so-called golden age in the South isn't much better than the Northwest!"
"Presumptuous!"
Hearing Qi Yun's undisguised sarcasm, True Person Xuanping remained expressionless and coldly rebuked him.
However, just as he was about to cast a Method Formula and prepare to unleash his power again, he saw the excessively handsome demon opposite him.
Suddenly, he clasped his hands together in front of his chest, palms facing each other.
Amidst swirling mists and condensed ice crystals, a faint phantom of a talisman, resembling his divine king talisman but with more complex runes and a more ancient and majestic Daoist aura, appeared in his palm.
"Old bastard,"
Qi Yun raised his eyes, a cold smile curving his lips.
"Since your Nine Kings Mountain reveres Talisman Art, I happen to possess one myself. Please examine it."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled his clasped hands outward!
Buzz-!
The [Three Rivers Bitter Cold True King Talisman] emanating an ancient chill suddenly exploded in his palm, transforming into countless fine, hair-like streams of icy blue Flowing Light that soared into the sky!
One thousand, two thousand, three thousand—a full four thousand streaks of Flowing Light, suspended in the sky.
Under the stunned gazes of True Person Xuanping and all the cultivators below.
Above the heavens, a dazzling sea of talismans, composed of countless icy blue stars, converged!
[Foundation Establishment Talisman Art 3.0: Added Talisman Sea Mechanism, talismans activated at the same time will merge to increase their total power, the power being based on the number of talismans.]
This is the new ability that Qi Yun gained after his Talisman Art underwent an automatic update a year ago!
Talismans of the same origin summoned at the same time no longer constitute individual attacks.
Instead, they resonate with each other, perfectly merging and superimposing their power to produce a qualitative change where one plus one is far greater than two!
At this moment, Qi Yun was using four thousand [Three Rivers Bitter Cold True King Talisman], which were produced day and night by the sixteen hundred true spirits within the Human Emperor Banner.
The power of the four thousand ancient cold talismans rapidly merged and sublimated under the [Talisman Sea] mechanism.
In an instant, the world changed color!
The sky, stretching for hundreds of miles, suddenly darkened, enveloped by an invisible curtain of cold.
The howling mountain wind stopped abruptly, and the moisture in the air instantly condensed into visible ice crystals that fell down.
A terrifying chill that could freeze one's soul swept out like a tidal wave, causing the cultivators engaged in fierce combat below, friend or foe, to become stiff and sluggish, their blood seemingly freezing.
In an instant!
In the center of that dazzling "Talisman Sea,"
Endless icy blue light collapsed and condensed wildly inward!
The outline of a colossal creature slowly emerged from the void, eventually solidifying completely!
That was a divine being's form, hundreds of feet tall!
Its face was blurred, shrouded in a misty, icy aura; its eyes were empty and indifferent, looking down upon all living beings.
Wearing a crown that seemed to be made of countless icicles, and a wide robe, on which three vast, ever-flowing glacial rivers, as well as countless patterns of frozen mountains and rivers and the trajectories of stars naturally appeared.
Surrounding the Dharma Image were three ice crystal ribbons formed entirely from the Primordial Cold Fiend, which danced slowly.
He merely stood there, yet the oppressive aura emanating from him caused the domain formed by True Person Xuanping's three divine king talismans to tremble violently, and its light to dim rapidly.
The Three Rivers Bitter Cold True King Dharma Manifestation!
Arrive!
