Ascension Escape Technique

Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil!

As a protected demon of the Heavenly Gate, this was the first time Hu Mang had encountered something even rarer than himself.

Then, an almost instinctive sense of danger rose in the Hu Mang's heart.

Without any hesitation, the Void Devil Field: Thousand-Layer Wall, and countless dense void folds appeared around the Hu Mang's body, covering a distance of three zhang.

Then, in the next moment, these wrinkles burst open like bubbles.

The entire Void Devil Field seemed to evaporate before the naked eye.

The phantom of Wisdom King Aizen instantly appeared behind the Hu Mang, and the ancient Clear Resonance Chime, had somehow landed in the king's hand, causing a burst of Buddhist light.

Within the Buddha's light, streaks of blood-red light, invisible to the naked eye, appeared.

"What the hell?!"

Instead of retreating, the Hu Mang advanced, taking advantage of the brief moment when the Buddha's light shone brightly. It pressed down with its tiger's mouth, riding the dragon and the mountain, and for a moment the entire mountain wall began to tremble.

The Shattering Thunder Great Spear, with all eighteen lightning patterns shining brightly, had a Thunder Serpent as thick as an arm coiled around its body.

Man and gun as one, dragon and snake in perfect harmony!

The demonic cultivator, who had just recovered, had his head explode once again.

Where the spear tip swept, streaks of void space appeared, landing on the void rift and causing the entire space to buzz.

However, when Hu Mang turned around, he saw that the "demonic cultivator" opposite him had returned to his original state.

Moreover, this time, the demonic cultist suddenly unleashed a torrent of flames, like cascading glass, engulfing the Hu Mang.

This is--

Hu Mang's pupils contracted. He recognized this thing immediately; it was none other than the "Formless Needle-Flame Devil Field" that he had just absorbed.

If you truly regard it as ordinary demonic fire, then you can only blame yourself for the damage to your meridians caused by the Formless Devil Needle.

With a thought, the Hu Mang unleashed a burst of equally powerful azure flames from the void, along with thousands upon thousands of demonic needles. The two different types of demonic needles collided and exploded in the void.

Having comprehended the evolution of this Void Devil Field, the Hu Mang found an opening, darted in, and unleashed another sweeping attack.

The upper and lower body of this "demonic cultivator" separated once again.

This time, Hu Mang knew that the other party's condition was strange, so he directly used the Vajrayana Emptiness Realm Buddhist Dharma. In an instant, dull golden Buddhist light covered the sky.

Under the illumination of this Emptiness Realm Buddhist light, the opponent's true form was finally revealed.

That wasn't some so-called "demonic being," but rather a humanoid monster composed of dozens of Void Devil Field.

It has a gray-black barrier of Thousand-Layer Wall, a bluish-white light of the Formless Needle-Flame, a colorful flow of light of the Mirage Shadow Labyrinth, and a dark red flame of the Karmic Fire Blood Lotus... Nearly a hundred different demonic auras intertwine together, like a patchwork garment sewn together from countless fragments, revealing its true face under the illumination of Buddha's light.

This is reminiscent of Wei Du'e's previous actions.

Hu Mang immediately understood what had happened.

As Senior Brother Wei once said, some powerful Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil, such as Devil Master, have transcended the realm of life and death. In this state, only the sword techniques of High Antiquity cultivators can eliminate them from their very source.

The "demonic cultivator" from before may have encountered a trace of the remnant spirit of an Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil, but failed to fully absorb its Devil Cultivation Method, leading to his own Qi Deviation or even mutual destruction.

Regardless, both of them are in a state of shutdown.

However, the sword strike that killed Wei Du'e activated the lingering resentment of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil in its malfunctioning state. This resentment instinctively began to devour the Void Devil Field, strengthening itself. As the Void Devil Field devoured more and more of it, it recovered more Devil Creature consciousness and began to attempt to reopen the Void Devil Path to guide the invasion of extraterrestrial races.

And so, the scene that the Hu Mang just witnessed came to be.

Holy crap.

Brother Wei, if you're not skilled enough, don't use your sword recklessly!

Now look at the sheer scale and intensity of what they've accomplished.

The next moment, Hu Mang's expression changed. In his sea of consciousness, a phantom mountain was torn apart by an enormous demonic hand.

Then, a huge fist appeared in front of the Hu Mang.

Clang!!!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Loud noises, like an earthquake, kept coming from the top of Grand Gate Mountain.

Lu Shuichan looked up at the mountaintop, his usually lazy and playful expression now showing a hint of seriousness.

"Senior brother, what's going on?" Jiang Mingshan couldn't help but ask.

"Someone used the 'Five Sacred Mountains Bearing Gang Method' to suppress the Grand Gate Mountain, but this method was broken, causing the Grand Gate Mountain to surge upwards, generating a shockwave."

"The Five Sacred Mountains Bearing Gang Method... could it be Senior Brother Hu?!" Jiang Mingshan exclaimed in surprise.

"If there isn't another Mysterious Peak Sect disciple around Grand Gate Mountain, then it's him."

"Didn't Senior Brother go into the seal? Could it be that he encountered an enemy?"

Lu Shuichan did not answer, but looked at the location of the Grand Gate Sword Stele. Yan Qing there had his palm on the stele, feeling the speed at which the sword intent within it was dissipating.

This is why, every time a disciple of the Divine Sword Sect is to undergo an assessment, the Mysterious Peak Sect and Divine Sword Sect must join forces to reseal it, because the source of the sword intent for the assessment lies in this sword monument.

Sensing Lu Shuichan's gaze, the Sword-Unleashing True Person said confidently, "Don't worry, my disciple is about to be born. As long as he comprehends 'Slay Ghost God,' everything will be alright."

Lu Shuichan felt that these words were quite unlucky.

At the location of that void rift, two figures were exchanging blows at an extremely fast speed, comparable to that of ordinary flying swords.

To be precise, it was the "demonic cultivator" who was attacking, while the Hu Mang was defending.

The look in the eyes of that "demonic cultivator" as he looked at Hu Mang had a subtle change.

At this point, the "demonic cultivator" could simultaneously control two types of Void Devil Field. One of these Void Devil Field could temporarily steal a person's five senses and six perceptions. At this moment, the Hu Mang's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth had already lost their function.

What sustained him was the Wisdom King Aizen; under the influence of Vajrayana, the opponent's movements were seamlessly reflected in his sea of consciousness.

Even so, the Hu Mang found it extremely difficult to resist.

Because of the opponent's other Void Devil Field, known as "Mighty Gods and Devils," after the opponent is empowered by the power of gods and Gods and Devils, every punch and kick has the power to smash mountains.

Moreover, his demonic realm can invade the Buddhist realm of the Emptiness Realm.

The opponent's fist landed on the "Shattering Thunder Great Spear," and the Immortal Weapon made a "creaking" sound, as if it was about to shatter at any moment.

The last time I had this feeling was when I was blasted open head-on by Yang Lei.

"It's truly distressing that one cannot transform between Buddha and demon."

If Vajrayana and the Heavenly Devil Field could be transformed into each other, we wouldn't be in such a passive position.

The problem is that in this level of combat, if Buddhist teachings are used, Devil Cultivation Method cannot be used.

The key point is that the opponent's Demonic Qi is still rising. Once he can control three "Void Devil Field" at the same time, Hu Mang feels that he is really in danger this time.

The opponent's current level should be at the level of a demonic Primordial Spirit.

Going further up...

Just then, Hu Mang heard the sound of a sword whistling in his ear.

It was as if countless sword shadows filled the void, and even the Void Devil Field that concealed Hu Mang's features was shaken open by the sword shadows, revealing dazzling sword light.

Is it too bright?

Could it be that Brother Wei's swordsmanship has reached the point of "yin giving rise to yang"?

"I've kept my junior brother waiting. Let this Devil Creature try out my newly mastered Slay Ghost God!"

The next moment, Hu Mang's vision returned, and he saw a scene that was quite visually striking.

In mid-air, countless sword lights, wielded by Yin Qi "Wei Du'e," slashed towards the "demonic cultivator" from all directions.

The "demonic cultivator" threw a punch with one hand, and countless cracks appeared on the opponent's fist, filling the void. At the same time, each "void demonic mark" extended outward, blocking the opponent's sword mark.

Shattering the Void?!

Upon seeing this scene, this was the first thing that came to Hu Mang's mind.

Legend has it that when one's body refinement is perfected, all the acupoints in the body will burst open, allowing for the evolution of a state of mind that can shatter the void.

This is also the legendary limit of martial arts evolution, and the limit of physical evolution.

But it was easily used by an Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil.

However, the next moment, Wei Du'e smiled lightly, and the figure and sword shadow disappeared at the same time, leaving only dense gray sword threads in the void.

Hu Mang then came to his senses and quickly called out.

"Holy crap, senior brother, stop!"

Then, the densely packed sword threads transformed into a single beam, disappearing in a flash of light.

A magnificent head shot into the sky.

"Thank you, junior brother, for protecting me."

With a flash of light, Wei Du'e appeared beside Hu Mang, smiling broadly.

Hu Mang didn't have time to ask if the other party had mastered the art of Slay Ghost God; instead, he quickly explained the attributes of this "demonic cultivator" to the other party.

"... Therefore, each time you kill an opponent and break through their Void Devil Field, it's equivalent to helping them refine an Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil."

This was also a major reason why Hu Mang later only defended and did not attack.

"So that's how it is! Don't worry, Junior Brother, if I can kill him once, I can kill him countless times! Leave it to me!"

Wei Du'e realized that since even a junior brother from the Mysterious Peak Sect who had only Refining Essence into Qi could hold out for so long, a sword master like himself could easily shatter all of the opponent's "Void Devil Field" and then annihilate this demonic cultivator.

In an instant, the sky was filled with sword shadows, locking down the "Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil" on the other side.

Senior brother, is it okay for you to be so arrogant?

Hu Mang silently complained.

Weren't you being pretty cautious before?

However, since the other party has become so arrogant, there's no point in trying to persuade them otherwise.

Hu Mang didn't intend to continue persuading him. Since the other party was able to hold off this Devil Creature, he could take this opportunity to study the "Void Devil Path" he had created.

In the recent exchange, Hu Mang also discovered a weakness in himself: when facing an opponent he could not defeat, he lacked a means of escape.

The library naturally contained all sorts of escape techniques, but he had a better option.

That is the legendary ascension technique where Loose Immortal Primordial Spirit Nascent Soul a nascent soul, and the Nascent Soul ascends to immortality.

Although he had not condensed Nascent Soul, his Divine Sense had reached the Nascent Soul level.

And coincidentally, the "Void Devil Path" before them seemed to be an ascension passage similar to Ascension Platform.

However, it wasn't an ascension to the Immortal Realm, but rather a method used by Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil to invade from the outside world.
