Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 413 I'll Help Me!

Within the body, the fierce battle has reached its climax.

The Lung God Su Lingsheng drew upon the essence of the Western Extreme Geng to condense into ten thousand immortal swords, which shot towards Yinglong. However, they were all swept away by the dragon's tail and turned into scrap iron, falling down with a crash. Countless iron mountains and countless cities on the ground were crushed and destroyed.

The spirit of the dragon was revitalized, drawing upon the true fire of the sun, the fire of the Southern Brightness, the karmic fire of the Red Lotus, the fire of the Nine Netherworlds… countless divine fires raged and enveloped the dragon's body. The dragon swallowed the fire into its belly and instead spewed out a monstrous poisonous flame, sweeping towards the assembled gods.

The left kidney deity Chun Yuanzhen and the right kidney deity Xiang Ta Yuan quickly joined forces to release the innate Ren water and the Three Lights Divine Water. The divine water surged to the heavens, blocking the flames of Yinglong for the sake of all the gods.

Yinglong, however, revealed a disdainful smile. These foolish gods had forgotten that, besides being a god of illusion, He was also a water god!
With a single pull of its dragon claws, it controlled the raging divine water; with another pull, it swept the divine water back.

Now the twenty-four were truly in trouble; half were engulfed by the poisonous flames, and the other half were submerged in the divine waters.

The bodies engulfed in poisonous flames were all burned to charcoal, screaming in agony as they were unable to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

The body and spirit submerged by the divine water had their flesh melted away, revealing their bones, and they could not rise from the water no matter how hard they tried.

Seeing that the entire army was about to be wiped out, Zuo Yangshen quickly opened his huge mouth and sucked the poisonous flames into his body.

The right Yin God also used his nostrils to draw in the divine water into his abdomen, thus saving the gods.

However, even these two strongest beings had to suppress the water and fire within their bodies with all their might, and both of them lost their fighting ability...

The twenty-four true supernatural powers were completely ineffective against the arrogant Yinglong. Although they fought desperately, they inevitably fell into a desperate situation and were unable to stop Yinglong from wantonly destroying the universe within their bodies...

~~
The inside and outside are two sides of the same coin.

As the internal balance of his body crumbled, Ren Yuan's flesh was bleeding from all seven orifices, and his bones and flesh were separated...

He knew that if he didn't act now, he would only face certain death.

So he struck his crown chakra, and his Yin spirit leaped out from his Niwan Palace, its entire body a ghostly blue like will-o'-the-wisp, wielding his natal magic weapon, the "Evil-Slaying Blade," which pierced into his body's universe!
Back then, A Yao needed to burn incense to send the two people's spirits into other people's bodies, but now Ren Yuan's spirit can enter his own body on its own!

However, this violated the great taboo of internal and external conflict. The two worlds, internal and external, should be like yin and yang, clearly distinct. Now, the yang side has invaded the yin side, and it was instantly intolerable to heaven and earth. A bolt of lightning struck down, splitting his flesh and blood into pieces, shattering his internal organs, and revealing his entire skeleton. He only had three breaths left to live.

But Ren Yuan had no other choice but to focus on one aspect first.

I'd rather sacrifice a hundred years of life than let my body collapse!
~~
Within the universe.

After a fierce battle, Yinglong had completely gained the upper hand. He smashed Yujing Mountain, overturned the Red Emperor Palace, and drained Huangting Sea!

The Twenty-Four True Men had suffered heavy casualties, and most of the survivors were powerless to fight back...

Yinglong, however, still displayed its might, whipping away the still-resisting Hair God and Throat God with its tail, and burning the Stomach God and Lung God to a crisp with a burst of dragon flame, leaving them looking like a pair of burnt sweet potatoes, which then fell to the ground.

With a flick of its dragon claw, it grabbed the leader, Jueyuanzi, brought him to its mouth, and opened its blood-red maw, ready to swallow him whole.

Jueyuanzi struggled to break free but could not, and could only manage a bitter laugh: "My life is over..."

Before he could finish speaking, a bolt of purple lightning struck down, hitting Yinglong squarely in the horn.

Yinglong's head trembled involuntarily, its claws loosened, and Jueyuanzi fell to the ground. Jueyuanzi hurriedly dodged away, and as he looked around, he saw a young man dressed in feathered robes and wearing a lotus crown appear in this world. He spoke loudly to the Twenty-Four Immortals:
"I'll help you!"

"Who are you, fellow Daoist?" Jueyuanzi asked hastily.

"Ren Yuan, the seventh generation leader of the Shangqing Sect!" The person who came was indeed Ren Yuan.

Upon hearing that the new leader of the Shangqing Sect had arrived, the Twenty-Four True Men were overjoyed; their saviors had finally come. But when they heard the leader's name, they were dumbfounded.

"Why did you get in?"

"Don't want to die?"

"Your outer form cannot penetrate your inner universe; you'll be dead in no time!" the gods clamored.

"Get out of here, get out of here, we'll be fine."

"Still being stubborn." Ren Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "You can't hold them off. I'm about to die outside. Rather than wait to die, I'd rather come in and die with you."

"..." The Twenty-Four True Men were immediately ashamed; it was indeed their dereliction of duty.

"The previous sect leaders had to join forces to perish together with the seventh wave of Yinglong. What use are you alone?" Jueyuanzi said anxiously, then suddenly turned to look at the jade talisman floating in mid-air in the distance:
"You are the head of the Shangqing Sect, you must have a spell to collect the jade talisman, right? Quickly put it away, release the Three Corpses and Nine Insects, and fight against Yinglong."

“That’s one way too. Although we’re reluctant to admit it, the Three Corpses and Nine Insects are much stronger than us,” the gods of the body said.

Although the two sides are irreconcilable enemies, with the survival of this world at stake, there is no time to worry about anything else.

Upon hearing this, the Three Corpses and Nine Insects were also very excited and rubbed their hands together, ready to rush out and make a big splash.

"No." Ren Yuan said decisively, "If we release them, what is the point of the sacrifice of the six sect leaders? They would rather sacrifice their lives than release the Three Corpses and Nine Worms, and they have their reasons."

"How can we resist Yinglong without relying on the Three Corpses and Nine Insects?!" the gods exclaimed anxiously.

"Rely on myself!" Ren Yuan declared resolutely, his voice resounding throughout the universe: "I am the master of this world, and I can defeat all invading enemies on my own!"

Back then, my senior sister was just a minor demon who had just passed the fourth trial, yet she was already like a god within her own inner universe. Ren Yuan already has seven orifices, and within his own inner universe, all things are transformed from his mind. He can create all things with a single thought, freeze time with a single breath, and overturn three thousand miles of mountains and rivers with his divine will!
Then Ren Yuanyin, the Yin God, stood barefoot in the void, his long hair flowing freely, and snapped his fingers to stop the giant wave that Yinglong was spewing.

"I'm in charge of my own world!" With another flick of his finger, the collapsed Yujing Mountain rocks flew back and reformed, golden light bursting from the cracks at the summit, instantly becoming intact and hanging high in the sky.

As Yujing Mountain was rebuilt, the severed arm of the spirit was regenerated, and the shattered pupils of the spirit's eyes were restored. All eight scenic spots in the upper part were repaired and became vigorous and powerful again.

Ren Yuan once again rebuilt the Crimson Emperor Palace and the Yellow Court Sea, and helped the Eight Views of the Middle and Lower Parts regain their divine bodies.

Instead of taking the opportunity to deal with him, Yinglong continued to focus on destroying this world, trying to escape from Ren Yuan's body.

Where the dragon's claws swept, spaces were torn apart, yet it could not completely crush this world. It finally realized that as long as Ren Yuan was there, this world could not be destroyed, so it roared and pounced on Ren Yuan.

"Well done." Ren Yuanyi was not afraid. He raised the Demon-Slaying Blade, which had also been mutated in his body, ready to kill the evil dragon and end this protracted war!
"Be very careful. Although you are the master of this world, Yinglong carries the primordial chaos from before the creation of heaven and earth, which can contend with the laws of the world." Jueyuanzi may not be able to fight, but he knows a lot.

Ren Yuan nodded, took flight, and the two, man and dragon, began an unprecedented battle in this world!
