Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 345 Using divine techniques to unleash power, the victory is already secured.
Seeing this, Chen Yushu was relieved.

The art of borrowing from the gods refers to borrowing from the gods of the heavens.

Chen Yushu was initially worried when he saw in the jade slip that a spellcasting cultivator had been killed by a borrowed deity.

They even made thorough preparations.

It wasn't until he actually cast the spell that he understood why the person before had been killed by the borrowed deity.

In fact, the person they invited was the Victorious Fighting Buddha, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, from mythology.

He had long heard about this man's personality, and calling him a "mischievous monkey" was a way of saying that he would definitely anger him if their relationship wasn't close enough.

If this is accompanied by contempt or insults, let alone being killed in retaliation, being reduced to ashes would be the least of their worries.

Therefore, the moment he summoned this deity, he feigned surprise and shouted the words "Great Sage".

His tone was full of surprise and respect.

They immediately gained the other party's favor and established an initial relationship.

This was the third time he had summoned the other party.

And he truly deserves to be a household name among the ancient gods; the title of Victorious Fighting Buddha is well-deserved.

Even though Chen Yushu's cultivation level was ancient and he couldn't grant the other party too much power, for example, the Great Sage he summoned at this moment could only exert power at the early stage of the Demon level.

However, there are also differences between the early stages of the Demonic Rank.

Moreover, the difference is unbelievably large.

Take the Great Sage for example. Even though he only displayed the power of the early stage of the Demon level, he still managed to strike out with his staff.

when!
It directly struck Li Xin's magic seal, causing it to tremble slightly and fly back.

"Take a stick from my old grandson!"

The Great Sage roared.

The sky and earth were filled with the shadows of sticks.

Countless stick shadows evolved, resembling tree rings, before crashing down.

Li Xin's expression changed drastically. In that instant, he felt as if hundreds of sticks were crashing down on him, and no matter which direction he tried to dodge, he couldn't avoid them at all.

He had no choice but to take it head-on.

But there were too many shadows of the staff, and he had no idea which one was an illusion and which one was the real staff.

He could only forcefully strike out the seal and fix it above his head.

boom! boom! boom!
The sticks came crashing down.

The spiritual light on the seal trembled and gradually dimmed.

"Are all those countless stick shadows real?"

At this moment, Chen Yushu was also observing this battle, or more precisely, he was observing the Great Sage's move.

Upon discovering that the opponent's staff technique was too exquisite, every move seemed to be in harmony with the way of heaven, as if the heavens and earth were drawing strength from each other.

With a single strike, countless shadows of the stick fill the sky, seemingly indistinguishable from reality, but in fact, the power increases layer by layer.

The real stick has only one strike.

But it contains internal strength, pushing layer by layer to form a force that can be continuously stacked, giving people the feeling that each strike is real.

That is exactly the case now.

With each strike, the force builds up layer by layer, accumulating and crashing down.

It's as if countless sticks are falling at the same time; with each strike, the force is amplified far more than double—it reaches a factor of 81.

So when the shadow of the staff dissipated, Li Xin's seal below also completely flew away, landing dozens of feet away and smashing on the ground with a loud thud.

"Die, you old Sun!"

Then, the Great Sage swung his long staff again, aiming a powerful blow at Li Xin.

This strike was simpler than the previous ones, without the dazzling array of blows.

But this blow was impossible to avoid. Even though the long stick didn't seem fast, when it actually landed, it seemed to lock down countless areas around Li Xin.

Lin Xin's face turned deathly pale.

He knew that the art of borrowing divine power was a top-tier spell with considerable power.

But they never expected that the power of this spell would be so terrifying.

The borrowed ghosts and spirits, outwardly appearing to be at most at the early stage of the Demon level, displayed power comparable to a Disaster level being. That first blow was far too strong.

The second blow sent a chill down his spine.

Without any hesitation, he quickly summoned a high-grade defensive artifact.

boom!
The treasure immediately dimmed to its lowest point.

but……

"blocked?"

Lin Xin was taken aback; even he felt somewhat surprised.

He thought he was going to die this time, but he didn't expect that the second blow from his opponent was so much weaker than the first.

But upon closer reflection, this is actually quite normal.

The monkey in front of us, outwardly, is at most at the early stage of the Demon level, with limited power. It is already quite incredible that its offensive methods can reach such strength.

In terms of sustained combat effectiveness, it is naturally greatly reduced.

The fact that the second blow was far inferior to the first one is proof of this.

My confidence immediately increased.

"Great Sage, please rest for now, let me take over!"

Chen Yushu, who was in the distance, naturally noticed this as well.

The Great Sage's strength and abilities are beyond doubt, but the power of his spells has its limits. With the opponent's divided spirit descending, the source of his power is only so much, just like the Dao Yuan in a cultivator's body. Once it's used up, it's gone, and there's no way to replenish it.

The strike was incredibly powerful, but it also consumed more than 70% of the user's strength. With the loss of Dao Yuan, even the most amazing techniques would be difficult to execute.

So Chen Yushu spoke directly, and before Li Xin could react, a flying sword transformed into a streak of light and rushed out.

As soon as the flying sword appeared, countless sword shadows appeared in the sky. If you counted carefully, you could see that there were a total of seventy-two sword shadows.

Then these seventy-two sword lights transformed into streams of light and crashed down!
sizzle...

The speed was extremely fast.

Equally irresistible, it swiftly crashed down upon Li Xin's high-grade defensive artifact.

boom! boom! boom!
Each sword strike was incredibly powerful, with attacks raining down simultaneously.

That precious artifact couldn't withstand the pressure and shattered instantly.

The remaining sword light, with its undiminished power, swiftly slashed down.

puff!puff!puff!
It instantly pierced through Li Xin's body, tearing him to shreds.

"Good! Good! Good!... This swordsmanship is excellent; it even has some of the charm of my old Sun's staff technique."

It lacks refinement and isn't as crisp or satisfying.

As soon as the sword technique was displayed, Da Shan clapped and cheered. Although the final evaluation was not high, given the gap in strength and realm between him and Chen Yushu, it was already quite remarkable that he received such a high evaluation.

But it was at this very moment.

Chen Yushu immediately noticed that at the place where Li Xin had fallen, a weak soul was carrying a jade slip and fleeing rapidly into the distance.

"Great Sage, please stop him."

Seeing this, Chen Yushu knew he couldn't leave the altar, so he quickly spoke up. He knew that even with the Blood Escape Technique, speed couldn't match the opponent's Somersault Cloud.

Just you wait and see.

The Great Sage laughed loudly, narrowed his eyes, and then reached out and made a sweeping motion.

The next moment, Li Xin's soul, which had just rushed far away, appeared directly in front of them.

The Soul-Capturing Technique among the Seventy-Two Transformations.

With a single gesture, one can capture the other's soul.

This is a powerful technique, and when used by the Great Sage, its power is unparalleled.

Even if the opponent's power at this moment is limited, it is a power borrowed from the heavens and the rules, so it consumes very little of his own strength.

"The Great Sage is amazing!"

Chen Yushu exclaimed in admiration, but without the slightest hesitation, he immediately unleashed the Divine Thrust.

buzzing...

In an instant, Li Xin's soul was shaken, the pain reached its peak, and he lost the ability to resist.

He then swiftly used a spirit-sealing technique to restrict it.

The art of sealing spirits is actually a top-level technique of restriction. It can not only preserve the spiritual energy of spiritual materials, medicines, talismans, and pills, but also seal the soul of a cultivator, rendering it unable to move.

Chen Yushu had long since mastered this spirit-sealing technique to perfection, so controlling Li Xin's soul, which was in a state of mental turmoil and almost powerless to resist, was naturally no problem.

Then, with a casual gesture, he collected the other party's soul into a magical gourd, placed several restrictions on it, and then stopped.

"Thank you for your help, Great Sage!"

At this moment, Chen Yushu bowed respectfully.

“It’s just a small matter.

Since there's nothing else here, I'll be going now. I'll come again next time I have time.

The Great Sage waved his hand, then said with a smile, and without lingering, his figure flashed and disappeared.

As Chen Yushu watched the other person disappear without a trace, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He never expected that this technique of borrowing gods would be so wondrous, capable of directly borrowing the true gods of the heavens.

And by sheer coincidence, they actually managed to borrow the Great Sage this time.

It should be understood that although this technique of borrowing gods is wondrous, the true god borrowed is not actually fixed.

For example, when he was practicing this spell, he borrowed several true gods, some as powerful as the Giant Spirit God, and others as weak as the Shrimp General of the East Sea Dragon Palace.

It was used dozens of times in total, but including this time, the number of times the Great Sage was borrowed only came to two.

The first time was when he was just starting out, and that's when he revealed the other person's identity, which led to a brief interaction between them.

After that, they were never able to borrow the other party again.

Most of them are minor figures, some of whom he doesn't even know by name. He simply uses them as he sees fit and gives them enough respect.

Of course, even minor gods and generals, or even just some shrimp generals in the Dragon Palace, are actually quite powerful.

If a true god were to descend, even the weakest of them would be a genuine Calamity-level being, or even stronger.

Due to the limitations of magic, he could only travel among humans by borrowing the power from Heaven through Chen Yushu's magic.

For example, this time, when Chen Yushu summoned the Great Sage, his aura was at most at the early stage of the Demonic level.

This is the level of power that the opponent can exert in this world. It's just that the Great Sage's supernatural powers are much greater, while the supernatural powers of some minor gods and generals are much weaker.

"However, the power of this divine borrowing technique will actually increase as the skill level increases."

For example, my current technique of borrowing gods is at the minor completion stage, and the power level of the gods I borrowed is at the early stage of the "Spirit" level.

However, if I were to master the art of borrowing divine power, the borrowed divine power would be at the mid-stage of the Demonic Realm, or even the late-stage of the Demonic Realm.

If it reaches perfection, then it's the peak of the Demon level, or even the Disaster level...

Moreover, if my cultivation level is high enough, such as reaching the Dao Entry Sun Tour Realm, or even the Soul Refining True and False Realm, then the power of the borrowed deity will also be enhanced accordingly…”

Chen Yushu was very optimistic about the power of this spell.

The main reason is that, with the help of this magic, he can borrow the divine avatars from myths and legends.

Most of these divine avatars possess great supernatural powers and are incredibly strong.

Even if the level of the Divine Realm is limited, it can still unleash power far exceeding the limits of the clone.

For example, the Great Sage just now unleashed a power comparable to the peak of the early stage of the Disaster level.

Not to mention, the Great Sage in mythology is not the strongest.

In Buddhism, there is Guanyin, who holds prayer beads; in Taoism, there are the Twelve Golden Immortals, Taiyi, and Taishang; and in Heaven, there is Zhenwu the Great, the Central Yellow Horned Immortal, and the Barefoot Immortal…

Currently, with his current level of mastery in the art of borrowing gods, he may not be able to summon these great gods and immortals. However, if he were to achieve mastery and perfection in this art, he would be very likely to be able to summon these powerful beings.

At that time, the role it can play will be enormous.

"However, the only drawback is that casting this spell consumes a great deal of energy."

Chen Yushu shook his head as he felt the depletion of his Dao Yuan.

After all, most of the opponent's power comes from him.

While it certainly had a significant effect, it also took a considerable toll on him. Fortunately, he had no shortage of spirit stones and plenty of various restorative elixirs, so he was able to manage.

And with the end of the battle on Chen Yushu's side...

Meanwhile, the battle on the other side was also gradually coming to an end.

Because at this very moment, a steady stream of people are joining the battlefield.

First, Li Yangyang himself walked out of the great formation, and then Zhou Qing from Zhenyin Division, who had just been on the phone with him, rushed in from another direction.

Next came Violet Shen Chenxue, and finally even Wine Gourd Zheng Hong rushed in.

Even though Zhou Zhao was a powerful cultivator at the Dao-entering Sun-traveling Realm, he was already struggling to deal with the King of Yelang, let alone with so many powerful figures joining the fray.

Especially on their side, with one after another of the evil spirits falling, the pressure is getting greater and greater.

Until he sensed the passing of Elder Li Xin.

He could no longer hold on, and taking advantage of a gap in his defense after repelling one of the King of Yelang's attacks, he turned and fled.

"Zhou Zhao, you can't escape!"

Li Yangyang roared and summoned a flying sword, which transformed into a stream of light and blocked his way.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the others also made their moves, launching a barrage of attacks. Even with Zhou Zhao's formidable strength, he was unable to withstand them.

He quickly coughed up blood and suffered a severe injury.

"When will this cycle of revenge end?"

Li Yangyang, I admit defeat.

"Let me go, and I'll never appear before you again, okay?"

Zhou Zhao was weak, but he still shouted.

"Do you think it's possible?"

Li Yangyang, of course, would not let the tiger return to the mountain, and spoke frankly.

The flying sword in his hand once again transformed into a streak of light and flew out.

This flying sword was obtained from the ancient cultivator's cave. With a flash of sword light, it rushed to Zhou Zhao's front, its speed astonishing.
