Chu Tianshu, Not Bad

Wu Shanjun led the Demonic Sect sect members into flight, and their original altitude was significantly higher than that of the Demonic Sect sect army.

Chu Tianshu is now even higher than Wu Shanjun, making him arguably at the highest point on the entire battlefield.

Higher than him are only the desolate, vast night sky and the bright moon.

With that step, I suddenly felt a sense of weariness with the high and cold desolation, and a feeling of descending from the void to the human world.

If someone like the Master of Heavenly Lantern Pavilion were here, even if they weren't ambushed and could evade with their physical escape techniques, their mind probably wouldn't be able to escape. They would be captured by this aura and willingly fall to the ground.

However, Wu Shanjun, with his unyielding temperament, remained completely unmoved and instantly raised his hand to block the kick.

Chu Tianshu suddenly twisted his waist, his figure spinning like a top. His feet barely touched the opponent's palm before they were already in different positions.

Using the momentum of rotation, his figure tilted and fell from above Wu Shanjun's head to in front of Wu Shanjun.

However, it doesn't completely fall; it possesses a wonderful sense of balance.

It appears to be full of power, extremely fast, and crooked yet orderly.

Like a spinning top, it aimed its tip at Wu Shanjun's chest.

This sharp afterimage surged forward even more dramatically, as Chu Tianshu kicked it out.

BOOM!!

This kick was blocked by Wu Shanjun again, who stood with one palm upright, each finger as steady as a mountain pillar.

However, the moment he blocked the kick, a long, pale crack appeared from behind him.

Behind Wu Shanjun, a large amount of air and vital energy in the sky were shattered and scattered by Mountain Collapse Combat Calculation's kick.

Although Wu Shanjun was not injured, he suddenly lost the support of his aura.

The pressure from the surrounding environment caused him to drift backward on the spot, flying far away and turning into a small black dot.

Chu Tianshu never expected that he could use a surprise attack to trap Wu Shanjun inside the Incense Valley's formation.

"I just want you to leave these Demonic Sect cult members—"

Chu Tianshu gave chase, and even his thoughts were amplified by his current speed.

The Master of Corpse Joy Palace let out a whistle, and her jade-like face and vermilion lips became even more delicate, her lips red and teeth white, her cheeks flushed, and her yang energy gathered in her face, making her complexion incredibly good.

In return, his hands transformed into dark blue-black corpse demon claws, deformed, emaciated, and capable of grabbing repeatedly in mid-air.

The extreme yin energy resonated with heaven and earth, causing his hand to make a grasping motion even without him moving.

In the vast sky, a giant claw made of primordial energy will appear.

In the blink of an eye, he grabbed six or seven times.

Six or seven giant claws appeared one after another, surrounding and intercepting Chu Tianshu, trying to grab him.

However, Chu Tianshu's movement technique was mysterious. Although it appeared to be a straight sprint, when he actually moved, it was as if a mountain had split open and the movement was spreading outwards.

There are some twists and turns in the details.

The six or seven giant claws could only catch his erratic afterimages; they couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.

"Is he a human or a ghost? What kind of movement technique is that?!"

The Master of Corpse Joy Palace was shocked. The Extreme Yin Grasping Technique was also very famous in the Demonic Dao.

Think about it, if you're grabbing wildly in front of you, the total movement is only a small amount, so of course it seems fast and frequent.

The Extreme Yin Grasping Technique allows one to resonate with the Yuan Qi Claws from a distance, enabling the Yuan Qi Claws to perform large-scale, high-frequency grabbing within the same timeframe.

The claws could move even faster than the hand could swing.

Chu Tianshu managed to dodge even that, demonstrating an incredible control over his own strength and agility that sent chills down one's spine.

Among the Demonic Sect cult's army, some couldn't help but think of their fellow disciples who had mysteriously died in Tianyin Temple.

This person's use of force seems even more terrifying than that day!

"He can be anything, absolutely not human—"

A Demonic Sect disciple, wielding a skull staff, stared tremblingly at the trajectory in the sky.

This person's eyesight was so poor that he couldn't see Chu Tianshu's true form, nor could he discern the twists and turns of that trajectory.

In his eyes, the mark was perfectly straight, representing a "force" far more real than normal magical energy.

It's as if there's an invisible, colossal mountain in this world that ordinary people can't see or feel.

Now, this giant mountain has naturally crumbled.

This crack, however, is one that ordinary people can see and feel, as if a giant mountain has been split apart.

Fortunately, that trajectory didn't waste a single moment on the Demonic Sect army, instead focusing all its strength on chasing after Wu Shanjun with an almost stingy attitude.

As Wu Shanjun retreated, he rapidly expanded, and thick power surged from his body, engulfing his figure and transforming it into a dense, blackish-red cloud of blood.

Boom!!!

The rift in the sky finally crashed into the blood-red clouds.

Everyone seemed to "feel" the impact first, their minds unsettled, as if their souls were jumping around inside their bodies.

Then, the sound of the two colliding was actually heard.

It was a bit more somber than I had imagined.

With a muffled thud, the blood cloud was displaced as a whole, sliding towards the distant mountains, yet then violently churning and stretching.

Blood clouds rose upwards, giving rise to a huge crown, followed by deep red hair, blood-red skin, and piercingly bright features.

Below the head are the collar and shoulders, all conforming to the style of the robe of the leader of the Demonic Sect sect, with blood red as the base color and Black Sha patterns.

"Spirit Mountain is originally formless, but it manifests itself before people to enlighten all beings."

"Asura are inherently formless, but to subdue all evil, they must manifest Dharma Aspect."

When that enormous Dharma Aspect form took shape, it possessed the majesty of a sacred Buddhist temple on Spirit Mountain.

The wild hills outside the Incense Valley, their peaks only reaching the chest of the Dharma Aspect, were permeated by the aura emanating from Dharma Aspect, emanating from a high vantage point.

Spirit Mountain is peaceful and beautiful, but the soil on these mountains, infected by the Sha Qi, has become rotten and black.

The trees seemed to melt, oozing large amounts of red liquid, and the remaining stumps also turned a rotten black.

These red liquids dyed the mountain streams red, causing the water to change course and converge at the foot of the mountain, forming a mighty river.

At this moment, the Blood Sha Dharma Aspect was fully formed, and its two arms and sleeves became clear from the hazy smoke and clouds.

The blood-red palms formed various hand seals, flying up and down, sometimes striking, sometimes pushing, constantly colliding with a jade meteor.

Each collision sent a burst of blood and gore Shangdu their palms.

Unfortunately, the replenishment of Blood Sha power was inexhaustible.

The emerald meteor struck the entire Dharma Aspect, causing it to tremble slightly, but it still couldn't pierce through those two palms.

"You've made such great progress, it's truly beyond my expectations."

When Wu Shanjun Dharma Aspect, his voice was deep and thunderous.

"Unfortunately, you lack a powerful weapon suited to your own cultivation level. You don't understand just how vast the power of the Dragon-Subduing Cauldron truly is if used properly!"

Wu Shanjun's hand mudra suddenly transformed into the simplest posture, with his ten fingers spread open, naturally relaxed, seemingly bent yet not bent.

In an instant, he brought his two index fingers together, then separated them to the sides, drawing a blood-red circle.

Om, Ma, Mi, Pa, Ni, Hum!!

Even more resonantly, the mantra is chanted, with all six syllables uttered simultaneously.

Outside the circle, six enormous blood-red characters emerged, solemn and profound, their chanting echoing far and wide.

The Emerald Meteor—that is, Chu Tianshu —just happened to pass by the center of the circle. He felt an omnipresent pressure that spread throughout his entire body, into every tiny meridian and vital energy.

The internal energy shifted like fine sand, rising slightly, surging and vibrating rapidly, the quicksand roaring as different energies collided with each other.

Sparks entered and exited at almost every acupoint on Chu Tianshu.

The Demonic Sect sect members were still attacking the Incense Valley's grand formation, but both factions had spare capacity and were able to observe this scene.

"How can the Master of the Hall of Longevity possess such profound Buddhist cultivation?"

A sense of absurdity arose in Shangguan Ding's heart, followed by an indescribable worry.

He could see clearly that Chu Tianshu did not lose because of his technique, but purely because of his size.

No matter how fast Chu Tianshu was or how strong the impact was, he would inevitably suffer a reaction force when colliding with such a huge hand.

It was the continuous accumulation of the counter-force that finally interfered with Chu Tianshu's movement technique, preventing him from dodging the circle.

If Chu Tianshu is defeated, how long can Incense Valley hold out?

However, Shangguan Ding is also unable to leave now.

The two sect leaders and two protectors of the Demonic Sect joined forces to keep an eye on him.

Shuhui, that traitor from the Qingyun Sect, was also keeping an eye on the Chuangong.

No one looked directly at the Dharma Aspect, yet no one could ignore Dharma Aspect existence.

That is undoubtedly the focus of this world.

Throughout the millennia of history, neither the righteous nor the demonic have ever encountered such a mysterious technique on any battlefield.

Using the Longevity Demonic Art, and employing the fundamental Six-Character Mantra of Buddhism, Chu Tianshu suffered six unusual phenomena: movement, rise, surge, tremor, roar, and strike.

However, his vital energy sparked and flowed in and out of his body, yet his body was not torn apart.

"Dude, you have big hands, but your strength is a bit weak!"

Chu Tianshu raised his eyes, his teeth chattering, sparks flying, and his limbs, which were spread out in a starfish shape, slowly retracted.

The Blood Sha Dharma Aspect Image was also somewhat surprised upon seeing this.

This tiny person, after being entangled in a fight for half a day, finally found an opportunity to launch a combined attack using the divine skills of both the Buddhist and demonic lineages.

Not only was he not dead or seriously injured, but it even felt like he was about to break free of his restraints in the next instant.

Wu Shanjun dared not be negligent. He clapped his hands together, pressing Chu Tianshu and the circle between them, suppressing him with all his might.

"If he still can't be killed, what breakthrough did he achieve? How did his essence, energy, and spirit become so firm and resilient?"

Wu Shanjun's mind raced. "The malevolent creature inside the stone gate possesses an unparalleled sharpness. Only by obtaining that treasure can I kill it."

The enormous Dharma Aspect looked towards Incense Valley.

The battle was fierce. The crimson light barrier was being blasted and was shaking violently. The two sides were exchanging magical power, but neither could break through.

The blood-red Dharma Aspect image shifted its gaze and landed beside itself.

At the foot of the mountain, the blood-red water flowing down from the nearby peaks has already surged into a river.

The Blood Sha Dharma Aspect noticed the small river of blood and stared intently at it. Streams of blood Sha Qi appeared in the air, like smoke, water, or snakes, and fell into the river of blood.

In a short while, the water level rose sharply and the flow rate increased dramatically.

Drawn by the Dharma Aspect's gaze, the Blood River rushed forward.

Although the river is only a few dozen feet wide, it is so long that its end is nowhere in sight, rushing from the wilderness and mountains towards the territory of Incense Valley.

The ability of the Samsara Disc to reorganize the environment was applied to the mountains and fields, causing the Blood River to flow wider and wider, and to gather more and more extensively.

Wherever the Blood River went, the outermost light barrier of Incense Valley immediately dimmed and receded.

"On my command, cross the river and charge into Incense Valley!"

At the command of the Dharma Aspect, the disciples of the Demonic Sect responded and flew down onto the Blood River.

The Demonic Sect's power resonated with the Blood River, causing the blood to surge even more violently, carrying the Demonic Sect sect's disciples forward.

The Chuangong Elder's expression changed drastically. Without thinking twice, he immediately led his disciples to reinforce the area where the formation had been contaminated.

"You evil demons and wicked creatures, how dare you set foot on the land that my Incense Valley has cultivated for generations!"

Shangguan Ding roared, flew swiftly through the air, activated the Mysterious Fire Mirror, and unleashed a burst of rainbow-like sword light.

The Blood River automatically raised layers of curtains, forcefully blocking the sword light.

The Master of Corpse Joy Palace and others landed on the blood wall and charged into the formation.

The sounds of battle shook the heavens as they clashed in close combat.

At this moment, a glimmer of silver light suddenly shone through the palms that the Blood Sha Dharma Aspect was tightly gripping.

Choke!!

The Blood Sha Dharma Aspect was immediately alert, but the sword light erupted and instantly shattered the two hands.

That's right, Chu Tianshu had been using his fists and feet in the previous fights.

Wu Shanjun believed that the other party was worried that the Sword Soul would be tainted and affect their state of mind.

After all, seeing how skillfully the Blood Sha Power is being used now, Chu Tianshu should understand.

Now, Wu Shanjun can use only a portion of his Blood Sha power to corrupt his opponent without worrying about losing all of his Blood Sha favor.

But now, Chu Tianshu has drawn his sword.

The sword light was like a melody on a zither.

As the blood-red palms shattered, Chu Tianshu had already charged straight forward with his sword, crashing into the Dharma Aspect's chest.

The silver light shone with all its might, and the blood-red Dharma Aspect developed numerous cracks.

Colorful petals sprouted from each crack, displaying a myriad of shapes and forms as they swayed in the breeze.

Heavenly Dao's Good Affinity is the sword of peace and harmony.

This Sword Qi wasn't a forceful confrontation, but rather a dissolving force. It spread from the chest of the Blood Sha Dharma Aspect, dissolving several key structural connections within the Dharma Aspect.

The enormous Dharma Aspect shattered into several large fragments.

The deep red head and shoulders were still high in the air, only slightly tilted, and had not yet begun to fall.

The true form of Wu Shanjun was revealed, residing in the gaps between the remnants of the Dharma Aspect, in the clear air.

His palms clamped down on Chu Tianshu's sword.

"Your sword strike was not bad—"

Even as Wu Shanjun held the sword between his fingers, a smile remained on his face.

It seems that this is the peak performance Chu Tianshu has reached.

So what if his Dharma Aspect is destroyed once? With the Subduing Dragon-Subduing Cauldron, he can recreate it.

However, when Wu Shanjun uttered those words, he suddenly realized that he was hearing overlapping sounds.

"Your sword strike was not bad—"

"Your sword strike was not bad—"

"Your sword strike—"

It was as if several people were saying the same thing at the same time, and everyone's voice was the same, in the same tone as Wu Shanjun.

He turned his eyes to the left and was astonished to find three "Wu Shanjun" standing side by side in the air to his left.

The same robes, the same face, only the expression was subtly different, and the gaze seemed slightly vacant.

Wu Shanjun's eyes rolled to the right again, and his eyelids started twitching uncontrollably.

To the right, in the air, stand four "selves" side by side.

"You bombarded me with your hand seals hundreds of times, causing me to deviate from my trajectory, making it impossible for me to dodge your Buddha-Demon Six-Syllable Mantra— "

Chu Tianshu's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

"Have you ever considered that I've also bombed you hundreds of times?"

Of course, with so much Blood Sha power protecting him, the impact of those hundred bombardments on Wu Shanjun was negligible.

However, Wu Shanjun and the Dragon-Subduing Cauldron are ultimately not the same entity.

Even if he could tame the Blood Sha within the Dragon-Subduing Cauldron using profound methods, his three souls Seven Souls would still be unable to wield this power.

There will inevitably be a burden.

After Chu Tianshu mastered the "Returning Light and Rebirth," his understanding of the Seven Souls deepened.

In his eyes, the Seven Souls could almost be seen as seven kinds of matter.

These seven material components, with different materials and structures, will produce different deformations when subjected to the same pressure.

This reveals a flaw!

Then there's the Wan Longsheng Qin music, a trick refined through the process of "Returning Light," used to bypass the body's internal energy and extract the soul.

Thus, a single sword strike severed Seven Souls.

When Wu Shanjun realized this, he tried to inhale.

But he discovered that he seemed to have no idea how to inhale, a function primarily controlled by his Stinking Lungs.

The Stinking Lungs was no longer on his body.

Chu Tianshu's sword strike.

They cut Wu Shanjun into eight people!!
