From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 573 Breakthrough in Battle
As Su'e and Mo Yan fled from the Shangri-La cave in a panic, the golden portal suspended above the snow-capped mountains suddenly became a small dot, and then turned into snow and wind all over the sky.

The three earthly immortals' hearts were shaking, their courage was quivering, and they looked in the direction where the portal disappeared in doubt and fear.

"I never thought there would be such a dangerous place in this world!"

Mo Yan patted his chest, still feeling a lingering fear.
They were well-informed, yet they still felt a shudder in their bodies when they thought of the ancient tree that was nurtured by the blood and bones of all spirits.

A similar place had appeared in the Jizhen Realm before, when several earthly immortals joined forces to take the treasure, and a piece of human skin shed by a celestial immortal appeared, which wrapped up the two earthly immortal masters and melted into blood in an instant, and even their souls could not escape.

"What should we do now? That native seems to have a way to avoid the lock of the demon tree. What if he hides inside and doesn't come out? Wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?!"

Su'e gritted her teeth and lashed out with a whip in hatred, collapsing a peak of Mount Kailash.

The three earthly immortals joined forces to hunt him down, spending a day and a night, but in the end, they came to nothing and gained nothing. None of them could accept such a result.

Xuehe frowned, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his rugged face: "Otherwise, we can call Futu over. Among the seven earthly immortals who have come across the boundary, he is probably the only one who is not afraid of the dangers in the treasure land!"

"no!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Su'e and Mo Yan strongly opposed them in unison.

"If we call Fu Tu over, given his temperament, the good fortune of this native will be good enough for the three of us to even drink the soup!!"

"His lineage is too brilliant for us to contend with. If they call us over, we will be helping them in vain!"

Su'e and Mo Yan spoke fiercely, full of deep fear, as if they were talking about some terrible beast.

Upon hearing this, Xuehe thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"I just mentioned it casually. Fu Tu hasn't shown up since he crossed over. There's no way to find him even if we want to..."

Xuehe looked at the snow-capped mountain where the portal had disappeared, then turned around and looked down at the entire Western Desert Grassland: "But don't worry, we'll be waiting for that native here."

"He won't stay in there for long. He's different from us. He cares about the world."

"Also, my 'blood robe' also needs some materials to repair." After saying this, Xuehe showed his white teeth and smiled cruelly.
He saw some herdsmen gathered at the foot of the mountain and climbing up the mountain.

Mo Yan nodded in agreement: "Okay, the three of us will wait here in the snowy mountains, and this native will definitely come out."

He and Su'e also saw the herdsmen gathering at the foot of the mountain, but did not take it seriously.

Mo Yan sat cross-legged in the air and began to regulate his breathing. Su E frowned slightly and gave Xue He a reminder.

"Old Monster Xuehe, don't harvest too much. We have an agreement in advance that the blood animals in this world will be divided equally among the major forces. If you harvest too much, it will be difficult to explain to Futu, Li Wujiu and Lingxuzi."

"Got it." Xuehe licked his lips, waved his hand nonchalantly, then set off down the mountain with a blood light.

They were just some mortal beasts. Su'e only mentioned it, and then she and Mo Yan squatted at the place where the door disappeared.

For them, the things on Li Yang are the real big deal!
In the Shangri-La Cave, Li Yang sat cross-legged on the ground like a cooked shrimp. His skin was flushed and white steam was constantly coming out of it.

The energy contained in the fruit watered by the blood of all living beings was beyond Li Yang's imagination.

If it were his heyday, Li Yang could slowly find a cave to retreat and refine his skills, but that's not possible now.

The moment the red fruit was swallowed into his stomach, rich and terrifying energy exploded in Li Yang's body like a nuclear bomb.

Sword wounds, spear wounds, whip wounds... the injuries left by the fierce battle with the five earth immortals broke out all at once, making Li Yang's body like a blood-spurting funnel, spurting blood out.

Li Yang frowned. Each of these injuries was a threat to his foundation, especially Li Wujiu's bronze spear. There was an ancient and mysterious aura left on the wound, preventing it from healing.

The only thing Li Yang felt fortunate about was that the golden lotus left in his body by Ming Zun was extraordinary and managed to stabilize his body which was on the verge of collapse.

"It's just a desperate move! We cultivators only cultivate today, regardless of the floods in the future!"

Li Yang gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and squeezed his flesh and blood and Yang Shen almost madly, trying his best to absorb the power of the "fruit".

He wanted to use up his own immortal potential and shorten the time to absorb the fruit!

As Li Yang fought desperately, the data on the system panel, which had not moved for a long time, jumped rapidly because his body was drying up.

Li Yang's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the top row of data in the system.

[Extreme Treasure Mirror: Level 3 (38.65w/72w), unlocked status: Five Thunder Techniques (2/5), Sword Control Techniques (6/9), Ju Mang Dharma Body (minor success), Hou Tu Dharma Body (minor success), Earthly Evil Roulette (38/72)]

"38.65w, 38.92w, 39.57w...41.28w, 42.95w..."

As the experience bar of [Extreme Treasure Mirror] skyrocketed, the Earthly Demon Roulette was also spinning rapidly, and the ding-ding sound of new Earthly Demon magical powers continued to be heard.

The Disha Roulette wheel is evenly divided into 72 small grids.

Most of the 72 small grids have already lit up. As the experience bar jumps rapidly, more and more small grids engraved with ancient seal characters light up quickly.

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the seventy-two earthly magical powers [Passing the Netherworld]!"

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the seventy-two earthly magical powers [Great Strength]!"

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the seventy-two earthly magical powers [Marry Dream]!"

"Ding……"

Li Yang stared at the pop-up windows that kept popping up in the system. Although this Shangri-La Cave Heaven Secret Realm is hidden and safe, the flow of time in this place is not the same as that of Blue Star!
When he was brought by little Zhuoma into the secret realm of Shangri-La for the first time, he only stayed there for a short while, but on the blue star outside, a full half a month had passed!
For half a month, Li Yang couldn't imagine what kind of hell on earth Blue Star would become if he allowed the five earthly immortals to wreak havoc on Blue Star for half a month!
Baiyun Mountain, Chi Yanhong, China... everything he cares about will be destroyed.

“If it really comes to that, what’s the point of me becoming an unrivaled master and being on par with the Three Pure Ones!”

Li Yang clenched his teeth tightly as his body was constantly torn apart by the violent energy. The horrific pain, as if all his nerves and flesh were cut open and soaked in salt water, almost made Li Yang's teeth break.

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the seventy-two earthly magical powers [Swordsmanship]!"

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the seventy-two earthly evil powers [Demon Slaying]!"

"【Strong Force】, 【Sword Skills】, 【Demon Slaying】, that's enough!"

There was no way to wait until the entire 'fruit' was absorbed and refined. Divine light and blood mist were still gushing out of Li Yang's pores. With a roar from Li Yang, the remaining golden shadow of the "卍" character reappeared in the palm of his right hand, and a portal filled with golden light appeared before his eyes again.

[Extreme Treasure Mirror: Level 3 (47.28/72)

"I have refined about a quarter of the fruit, that's enough!"

With no time to stay in this cave to continue refining, Li Yang sealed all the acupoints in his body, sealed all the energy of the "fruit" inside his body, and raised the Nanming Sword to prepare to escape.

The location of the portal is not fixed. As long as you get the credentials, the portal can be opened anywhere on the snow mountain.

Li Yang thought that the three earthly immortals outside must not know this and would wait for him at the original gate. He silently sensed the situation of the snow-capped mountains outside the gate and planned to catch the three earthly immortals off guard.

He wanted to use the terrifying pressure of the three earthly immortals in the battle to speed up the refining of the fruit!

Through the portal, Li Yang's perspective was very strange, as if he was floating above the snow-capped mountains, feeling the breath of the snow-capped mountains like an omniscient god. There were three points of light like the sun in his senses, which should be the location of Xuehe Su'e and Mo Yan, the three earthly immortals.

What surprised Li Yang was that the three light spots were separate, two of them were at the original location of the portal on the mountainside, and the other was at the foot of the mountain!
Following the principle of killing the lone ones first, Li Yang's perspective gradually fell on the light spot at the foot of the mountain. However, when Li Yang saw everything at the foot of the mountain clearly, endless anger rushed straight to the top of his head, and his eyes turned blood red in an instant.

"Blood River old dog, you are looking for death!"

Li Yang was furious, veins on his forehead throbbing, and in the blink of an eye, the Wood and Earth Thunder bodies appeared.

Li Yang merged himself with the sword, and added the seventy-two magical powers of the Earthly Demons [Swordsmanship], [Great Strength], and [Demon Slaying] to the Nanming Sword. Like a meteor with a bright tail, it burst out of the portal with an extreme explosion, making a terrifying sonic boom.

Outside, Xuehe was grabbing the head of an old herdsman whose eyes were still wide open. He squeezed it hard, and a trace of blood energy immediately condensed into the red robe behind him.

"What a pity, they are all ordinary people, there are no indigenous monks." Just as he was shocked, Xuehe suddenly felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, and a sense of life and death lingered in his heart.

There was no time to think about it. In a flash, the river of blood quickly fled away, and the red robe on his back opened up and covered his whole body.

"Old dog, you are not worthy of your realm for slaughtering innocent mortals at the level of an earthly immortal!"

A terrifying sword suddenly appeared on the snowy mountain. The fluctuation of spiritual energy alone triggered an avalanche on the mountain, and it slashed towards the blood river in anger.

Li Yang was really angry, and he unleashed his sword with extreme force, without any reservation!

At the foot of the mountain, the originally pure white and sacred snow-capped mountain had turned scarlet. Hundreds of herdsmen who had been sucked dry were piled up together, like a small mountain, like hell on earth.

Some of them were holding steel forks, hunting rifles, and horse whips in their hands, obviously wanting to help Li Yang.

Others are old people and women. The status of Mount Kailash in the Western Desert is extremely sacred. They cannot allow three demons from outer space to defile the pure snow mountain. They want to drive away the demons for the sake of their faith.

It's ridiculous, extremely ridiculous. An ordinary herdsman without any cultivation wanted to deal with the earth immortal with a steel fork and a hunting rifle. An old man who was about to die sacrificed his life for an illusory belief.

Li Yang roared and shed tears, because those ridiculous and arrogant mortals were the ones he wanted to protect!

[Swordsmanship] [Demon Slaying] is the top killing skill among the 72 Earthly Demon Skills. With this skill, Li Yang's combat power is 20% higher than when he just entered Shangri-La!

Xuehe's face changed drastically as he watched the blade of the Nanming Sword cut through his robe and slash across his throat.

"I am an earthly immortal. How could I be slaughtered by an ant like you?"

The blood river roared and exploded to the extreme. Blood shadows also appeared on his body. His blood and essence were burning, and his speed suddenly increased. He narrowly escaped the fate of being beheaded.

This is the Blood Escape Technique, a forbidden life-threatening magical power of his lineage!
Xuehe was narrowly putting some distance between himself and Nanming Sword. He was furious. He felt that he was no match for Li Yang in a head-on fight.

"These mortal ants died because of you! This is all your fault! After I devour your flesh and blood, I will also wipe out everything here, whether they are monks or mortals, and turn them all into nutrients for my blood robe, making the entire Blue Star a flood of blood and a mountain of corpses."

Xuehe slapped the sword of Nanming Sword with one palm, and Li Yang was shaken out of the sword body, and the speed of refining the "fruit" in his body increased a bit.

With blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, Li Yang, who was shaken out of the state of 'man and sword becoming one', completely ignored his injuries, clenched his right fist, chanted the Golden Light Mantra, Earth and Wood Thunder Qi, [Giant Force], [Consecration], and the joint of his fist was shining with brilliant golden light, smashing towards Xuehe's face like a comet.

"You ignorant natives, are you trying to compete with me in strength?"

Xuehe grinned grimly, and his entire body suddenly expanded, like a three-meter-tall muscle monster. He grinned and punched Li Yang.

Boom! The flesh monster and the meteor collided suddenly.
An overwhelming force instantly transmitted through Xuehe's fist throughout his body. Xuehe retreated violently, and in disbelief, his right hand spasmed and his blood vessels burst.

"This, how is this possible!!"

Li Yang was also feeling bad. Although his right fist was blessed with all kinds of magical powers, his right arm and muscles all over his body could not withstand the huge force from his right fist, and a blood mist exploded.

However, he won, and for the first time he gained the upper hand in a head-on confrontation with an Earthly Immortal master!
"Old dog, suffer death!"

Li Yang drew his Nanming Sword again and swooped down in anger. The Nanming Sword cut through the layers of wind, snow and air and slashed towards the retreating blood river.

Xuehe's expression changed, and he summoned the blood robe again to protect his whole body. He was no longer as arrogant as before, and roared towards the snowy mountain: "Su'e Mo Yan, why don't you two come down to help me!"

Xuehe felt extremely aggrieved, his cultivation level was only below Li Wujiu and Lingxuzi among the Five Earth Immortals, but his magic tools and magical powers were all restrained by Li Yang. The Five Thunder Dharma Body was the most powerful against all blood mist and evil spirits, and his proud treasure, the Blood Robe, was cut like ordinary brocade by the Nanming Sword that was equipped with earth and wood thunder qi.

"Blood River Monster, you can't do it either!"

Fortunately, at this time, Mo Yan and Su E had heard the news and rushed over. They threw out long whips and jade seals, one rolled towards the Nanming Sword, and the other smashed towards Li Yang's body.

The Nanming Sword was swept away by the whip. Li Yang knew that it was still a luxury for him to fight against the three earthly immortals. He withstood the jade seal with his body, and his back became dented. He spurted out blood again, and retracted the Nanming Sword and fled quickly.

He has lost the opportunity to kill Xuehe first.

"Don't hold back! This native has gained unimaginable fortune in the cave!"

Xuehe roared, urging Su'e and Mo Yan to take action together.

"Good fortune? No matter how much good fortune there is, it will only serve to prepare wedding clothes for us!"

Su'e's voice was cold, and she and Mo Yan burst out!

Xuehe gritted his teeth and followed suit.

He saw something in Li Yang, something that frightened him.

This native can’t be kept any longer!

Li Yang fled quickly, but this time, he deliberately slowed down his speed, and even took the initiative to receive attacks from the three earthly immortals. He was in danger several times, struggling on the line between life and death, and suffered continuous heavy losses.

Feeling the pressure from the three earthly immortals behind him, Li Yang frantically squeezed every inch of his muscles and yang spirit.

The "fruit" in the body quickly melted under the pressure, and prompts kept popping up on the system panel.
"48.24w, 49.95w, 50.26w...52.88w, 53.06w..."

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the 72nd Earthly Demonic Power [Swallowing the Knife]!"

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the 72nd Earthly Fiend Ability [Invisibility]!"

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the 72nd Earthly Demonic Power [Taking the Moon]!"

"Ding……"

The three earthly immortals behind were originally surprised that Li Yang's speed was slowing down and he was constantly being caught up and suffering heavy damage. However, when Su E whipped Li Yang with a whip and the whip was shaken away, their faces finally changed.
"No, there's something wrong with this native's aura! There's unimaginable good fortune in his body, and he's evolving! An evolution beyond imagination!"

"He wants to use our power to break through to become an Earthly Immortal!!"

Realizing this, the three earthly immortals felt fear for the first time!

The human immortal realm can fight against the earthly immortal realm. If Li Yang breaks through to the earthly immortal realm...

Su'e's body was shaking. At this moment, the three earthly immortals no longer cared about their reputation. They used forbidden secret techniques, consuming their lifespans and accelerating suddenly.

We can’t let Li Yang break through to the Earthly Immortal level, otherwise, everything will change!!
