A Scarlet-Blood Treasure Rolls into Ten Thousand Beads
It was dark outside the palace.
The interior will only get darker.
The colorless flames on the Sanqi Divine Sword flickered and swayed like a candle in the wind.
Looking at the sparks on his sword, even Chu Tianshu felt as if he were a lone boat in a raging storm.
This wasn't just because of the sheer force of the two hundred-plus souls that attacked.
Furthermore, the power emanating from the Great Void Heavenly Eye disturbed even the areas on the entire peak where no souls were causing trouble.
At this moment, on this mountaintop.
There is not a single patch of peaceful land, not a single inch of quiet dust.
"This feeling... could it be radiation?"
Chu Tianshu muttered to himself.
Click!!
Hundreds of cracks simultaneously appeared on the outer shell of the main hall.
The entire hall was like a cardboard box amidst raging flames and thunder.
When those souls, whose potential had been unleashed, stormed in, they no longer cared about the convenience of their Spirit Body being able to pass through walls.
In an instant, they forcibly demolished the great hall.
Between every few pieces of debris, a spirit is charging inward.
After their potential was unleashed, some of them emitted colorful, thread-like demonic energy, and various lunar phases, from new moon to full moon, appeared on their foreheads in succession.
Some were engulfed in purplish-red flames, while others had their bodies deformed, their limbs turning into blades.
Some even swelled up all over, their heads becoming pointed, as if they were about to turn into a pagoda.
The entire lineage of the Tongxuan Sect is actually mainly divided into four branches: the Artifact Workshop, the Punishment Hall, the Heart Hall, and the Pill Chamber.
The Artifact Workshop not only studies the art of weapon crafting inscribed on the ancient Immortal's stone tablet, but also the methods of External Dharma Nexus and treasure crafting; it actually has the largest number of members.
The Punishment Hall is a lineage that was formed after the Tongxuan Sect entered the Ten Commanderies of Guilin and swept away the sorcerers and shamans in various places. It integrates various Witch Cult and Gu Arts with Daoist incantations and is very old.
The Heart Hall represents the Primordial Heart Transmission, which is the lineage that cultivates demonic arts. It is powerful in combat and has extensive authority, engaging in internal and external raids. However, most of its members are Human Furnace, and there are very few elders and deacons who are free to move around.
The Pill Chamber is the weakest, but it has the most outer disciples and outgoing personnel who liaise with Pill Chamber, making it the main source of the Tongxuan Sect's image in the minds of outsiders.
Those who truly cultivated themselves into Evil Spirit were only the elders and deacons of the Heart Hall lineage.
However, the cultivation methods of the other three lineages were all actually guided by Zhang Tongxuan.
Most of their secret manuals had been reviewed and revised by Zhang Tongxuan. When they encountered great difficulties and had no one else to ask, they naturally had to consult Zhang Tongxuan.
Therefore, in the process of honing their cultivation, they unconsciously incorporated some principles about the Great Void Formless Sha Fire.
Unaware of their own existence, they have already developed a pathway to be easily controlled by the "Great Void Heavenly Eye".
Chu Tianshu's blade suddenly flashed and struck the forehead of a soul whose limbs had transformed into long swords.
Before the soul could even unleash its masterful attack with limbs like blades, it collapsed, instantly transforming into fireflies and scattering away.
The flames on the Sanqi Divine Sword completely subsided, leaving only a pure silver light.
Under the influence of the Great Void Heavenly Eye, Chu Tianshu's outward Mind Power and Sword Intent are easily disturbed.
Even the Heavenly Heart Sorrowful Demon Slash, which specializes in turning intention into lethality, faces considerable obstacles.
Chu Tianshu focused his mind inward and concentrated on the physical body, which seemed quite inconvenient, as he could only kill the enemy by physical contact.
But once his sword began to move, he and his sword moved like a silver feather, rapidly forming a circle.
The moment his footprints closed into a circle, his figure began to spiral upwards.
An overwhelming horde of enemies.
He instantly shattered dozens of souls!
Before the remnants of his soul even had a chance to collapse, he used them as stepping stones.
The person had already climbed to a high place when the souls below finally realized what was happening, and were shattered into pieces.
But as he fought his way to a high place, a pagoda began to spin and crashed down on him.
The soul that transformed into a pagoda shape belonged to the Grand Elder of the Artifact Workshop.
He had actually mastered the method of forging the Great Void Pagoda that Zhang Tongxuan had taught him quite well, but he was wary and kept a secret.
Regarding the methods of weapon crafting, he did not reveal all his understanding, but secretly incorporated visualization techniques to cultivate his mental Mind Power.
Out of a sense of past affection, Zhang Tongxuan often pretended not to know and ignored him.
Today, in order to fight Chu Tianshu, we have no choice but to let this elder have a moment of glory.
This unleashed the profound potential cultivated by the Grand Elder over many years, transforming his entire soul irrevocably into a pagoda.
"Roll!"
Chu Tianshu slammed his left palm onto the base of the pagoda, like striking a heavenly bell.
The pagoda's base, with a huge palm print dented into it, soared high into the air, yet it did not collapse.
Obstructed by this, all the surrounding souls filled the gap again and attacked in droves.
As soon as Chu Tianshu moved his divine sword, he felt a fleshy hand pierce through the waists of the two souls and grip his sword blade.
The silver-white blade vibrated violently, its direction shifting, about to sever the fingers of that hand.
The hand, however, reacted swiftly and disappeared in an instant.
The divine sword was swung wildly, slicing open a large area of land.
The force was too great, and Chu Tianshu felt a strong threat coming from below, striking his right elbow.
He is high in the sky.
The threat was a small blue ball launched from near the ground.
The two colors, deep blue and light blue, converge to form a yin-yang fish ball, which is the palm force formed by the combination of the two energies of Heavenly Ding and Heavenly Jia.
When Chen Zhuangzhi uses this move, the Heavenly Ding and Heavenly Jia must be condensed in his two hands respectively. Once they collide, they must burst forward. Therefore, the signs of his attack are very obvious and easy to detect and dodge.
When Zhang Tongxuan used this move, the two energies of Ding and Jia could combine into a small ball.
He represented the Southern Daoist school in debates with the Northern Celestial Master, and was well-versed in the characteristics of each school of Daoism.
This move actually contains the secrets of the Hou family's Dingjia Qimen techniques.
The small ball itself was still in a strange oscillation, searching for the weakest frequency around Chu Tianshu.
Chu Tianshu's right arm swing was too wide, and his move was outdated; it could also be a decoy.
But when this ball flies over, it will inevitably shoot at his weakest point.
As expected, the shot wasn't aimed at his right elbow, but rather at his right shoulder blade.
Chu Tianshu's Tongbei Fist is incredibly skillful; his right arm can retract rapidly in an instant, while his left arm can expand dramatically.
Trying to strike his right elbow would only result in him cutting you with the blade of his right hand, and his left hand would seize the opportunity to attack.
However, when preparing to perform the Tongbei extension and contraction technique, the shoulder blades on the back are key.
Chu Tianshu's feet suddenly trembled, causing the air to crack with fleeting, fine fissures, and his shoulders swayed in the process.
In that instant, all his strength was concentrated in his shoulder blades, unleashing the most powerful and precise move from the Shaolin Fist manual.
The ball hadn't actually hit the ball yet, but his shoulder blade had intentionally collided with it.
This slight difference caused most of the force of the explosion to disperse outwards.
The blue flames drove back more than a dozen souls.
Chu Tianshu's shoulder blades were only slightly abraded due to torn clothing.
However, this also prevented his right arm from retracting.
Both hands were firmly gripping his right wrist and right elbow.
Zhang Tongxuan appeared to his right front, arms crossed, about to break or tear Chu Tianshu's arm.
In that instant, Chu Tianshu could only exert force against Zhang Tongxuan's two hands, and had no extra strength to wield the long sword in his hand.
The Sanqi Divine Sword spontaneously slipped from my hand and suddenly wandered away.
Like a bolt of silver lightning flashing through the sky, all the force was concentrated on the tip of the sword, aiming to pierce the left side of Zhang Tongxuan's neck.
With the Weapon Soul presiding over it, the divine sword can occasionally act on its own, seizing the most opportune moment.
"Blade Spirit? A useless, rubbish move!!"
Zhang Tongxuan's third eye opened even wider.
Deep within his dark eyes, his emerald pupils emitted waves at an even higher frequency.
The Sanqi Divine Sword rested beside his neck, its blade trembling from end to end.
Even though the Weapon Soul was hiding inside the sword, it was still affected by such a strong influence.
Those souls that were already under the control and catalysis of the Great Void Heavenly Eye attacked even faster amidst this dense light wave.
"Your souls are the useless ones!!"
Chu Tianshu glared and growled, clenching his right fist and suddenly spinning his entire arm.
The right sleeve shattered with a crash, exposing the bulging muscles and veins of the right arm that extended down to the back of the hand.
The skin's pores instantly turned completely red, and hundreds of points of blood-red light were launched out in a tragic manner.
That was all blood from his right arm.
Gather Qi in the blood, and circulate strength in the blood.
The sight of these hundreds of points of blood-red light bursting out was already chilling and terrifying to a normal person.
In the eyes of those spirits, it was even more terrifying.
They seemed to see, up close, a blood-red sun suddenly born.
The soul's vision was completely filled with bright blood red, leaving no room for any other color or debris.
They then felt a piercing, burning pain throughout their bodies.
Chu Tianshu possessed a powerful and pure physique, with his blood naturally brimming with yang energy. After arriving in this world, he cultivated the "Mountain Hermit's Sun-Boiling True Scripture".
Struck by his blood-red light, more than a dozen nearby spirits were instantly burned through with large holes and reduced to ashes.
Dozens of spirits were also injured, screaming and retreating violently.
Chu Tianshu's actions, with blood seeping from his pores, had not yet stopped.
His blood, like hundreds of beads, split into even more upon reaching the skin's surface due to the trembling.
Each drop of blood can split into hundreds of tiny beads.
On a macroscopic level, it looked like a layer of blood-red silk suddenly appeared on his right arm.
In reality, countless tiny beads rolled into the gaps between Zhang Tongxuan's palm and Chu Tianshu's skin.
The Golden Toad Taiji, with its ability to form a ball from boiling water, is originally a way to accumulate small amounts into a large sum.
Today, Chu Tianshu actually used it in this way, splitting it into countless pieces, yet it still rolled like a pearl.
Zhang Tongxuan truly hadn't expected that such a bizarre trick would exist in the world.
In a fraction of a second, Chu Tianshu's right hand darted out, his palm landing squarely on Zhang Tongxuan's chest.
He didn't use his left hand because Zhang Tongxuan had already taken precautions against using it.
This change, where the right hand concentrated all the mind and energy, was what caused the heavens to miss a move, making it impossible to defend against!
The Qimen formation, at such close range and amidst so many and intense changes in energy, ultimately failed to provide adequate defense.
Thump!!!!
A surging, undulating aura emanated from Zhang Tongxuan's body.
The Sanqi Divine Sword was knocked away, spinning and shooting far away.
Before the Daoist could even change his expression, he had already retreated at top speed, trying to deflect and neutralize the force of the palm strike.
Chu Tianshu also started running at full speed at the same time.
He stomped through the air, leaving pale footprints, but because he was moving so fast, each footprint was still quite far apart.
Two living people flew away as fast as ghosts in the sky.
No, even real ghosts aren't as fast as them.
Those remaining spirits were unable to catch up for the time being.
The soul was already fast enough, but compared to those two...
The souls are moving at a speed that can only be described as being like reeds fluttering in a strong wind.
The two figures left the main peak immediately.
It crashed into the northwest, onto another, even higher mountain, against its rough cliff face.
Chu Tianshu's hand pressed firmly against Zhang Tongxuan's chest, relentlessly channeling his palm force, internal energy, and destructive power into him.
Blood trickled from Zhang Tongxuan's mouth and nose. He finally gathered enough strength in his hand to smash open Chu Tianshu's arm.
As soon as Chu Tianshu's right arm left, his left hand struck the same spot, only to be abruptly blocked.
Their hands clashed amidst the flashing lightning and swirling shadows, exchanging dozens of fierce blows in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Tongxuan was already injured, and every three to five moves, he would inevitably slow down a bit.
"Those who are in battle, all march in formation... Those who are in battle, all march in formation..."
"Charge forward in battle formation... advance in battle formation... battle battle battle battle battle!!!"
Chu Tianshu's hand slammed into the chest of the person opposite him again and again. The force of his palm passed through the person's body, rushed up the cliff wall, and bounced back.
The Samadhi Power Hand Seal has 8972 variations, which he has developed to use speed to counter speed, speed with mistakes, and mistakes with moves.
It is disordered and disordered, completely disregarding the order of the Nine-Syllable Mantra, yet it always manages to strike the vital points with its incomplete power, surging back and forth.
Make sure Zhang Tongxuan can't smash through this cliff like tofu, so he can use the opportunity to escape.
A beam of blue light, about the thickness of a wrist, suddenly shot up from the main iron tower and hurtled towards this direction.
But a sword light suddenly rose from the ground, already waiting halfway there.
The desolate Sword Qi seemed to erect a crystal shield ten feet high, pure white, bright, and extremely smooth.
This is also one of the uses of the "Flying Rain Sword" ultimate technique.
With such a large amount of Sword Qi released, its thickness is inevitably lacking.
It is as thin as an ordinary bronze mirror.
If the blue divine light struck it, it would have been an ordinary bronze mirror, piercing through it in an instant without any effect whatsoever.
However, when the divine light passed through the sword and shield, it slowed down and refracted.
When the divine light finally struck the cliff face, it was a good ten feet away from where Chu Tianshu and the others were.
The iron tower didn't have a chance to launch a second divine light in this direction.
Because Xiao Liang had already stormed up the iron tower.
He climbed up the layers of iron towers.
The person seemed to have transformed into a sword, and the sword's Sword Intent was about to reach its peak as it meandered upwards.
Unexpectedly, just as he reached the seventh floor of the iron tower...
The entire iron tower trembled violently.
Amidst the booming sounds from the ground, a massive, surging blue flame erupted from the base of the iron tower.
The bottom three layers of the Eiffel Tower have actually split and detached.
The rest of the tower ascends rapidly.
If the Great Void Pagoda can carry the enemy to a sufficiently high altitude.
Enemies who have not adapted to the effects of the various invisible evil flames will inevitably fall into a great disadvantage, while the power of the Great Void Pagoda itself will be enhanced.
Xiao Liang may not know, or he may have a premonition.
However, with a flick of his sword, he charged towards the top of the pagoda.
The resounding crashes from the cliffs continued.
It's as if the entire cliff face is a drum, producing a series of resounding drumbeats.
On other mountain peaks, the ordinary disciples of the Tongxuan Sect had already looked at each other in disbelief, staring blankly at everything that had happened today.
Zhang Tongxuan's Great Void Qimen, with its internal and external transformation of Qi and dissipation of force, truly possesses astonishing mysteries.
Despite being bombarded by Chu Tianshu until now, he was still alive and able to fight back, but his eyes were trembling and blood was flowing from his mouth and nose.
Chu Tianshu was determined to wear him down steadily until he died.
However, Zhang Tongxuan's "Great Void Heavenly Eye" on his forehead suddenly began to move.
These eyes aren't fixed to the forehead!
The eyelid slits and the inner pupils could move around in different parts of Zhang Tongxuan's body.
The Heavenly Eye plunged downwards, as if opening a large gash in his face.
After the eyes moved downwards, the gap closed up again, creating an indescribably eerie atmosphere.
The Heavenly Eye suddenly plummeted to his chest, its size far exceeding that of before.
Only by using his entire torso as a base could he open that single vertical eye.
Emerald pupils, as large as a heart.
The Great Void Heavenly Eye, the first eye to open on the torso.
Chu Tianshu's Crimson Hand Seal had already slammed into the pupil!
