The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 149: Waving sleeves to resist the tide of monsters, three talismans to destroy all monsters

Boom~!
The earth trembled, the mountains swayed, the trees fell down, and the earth-shaking sound came from far away and vibrated the eardrums. The sky was dark and endless evil birds flew across the sky with a mighty momentum and even deeper than the black clouds.

Mountains collapsed, rivers dried up, birds flew and beasts ran, and the sky and the earth changed color.

The Taoists were all terrified, and the fourth generation disciples were even more nervous, but when they saw the tall and straight pine-like figure in the front, they couldn't help but feel refreshed. An invisible force attacked their bodies and cleansed their hearts, dispelling the panic in their hearts, as if as long as this figure did not fall, they would have unlimited courage and dare to face the darkness without fear of any challenge.

Boom~!
The mountains shook more violently, earth and rocks collapsed, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and the birds and animals were no longer a black tide or a black line, but were clearly visible.

In the monstrous demonic energy, thousands of beasts roared and ferocious birds screamed, and it was endless as far as the eye could see. An overwhelming momentum came over them, and when the demonic tide passed by, even an unintentional collision would cause devastation to all living things.

There are endless monsters in front and big monsters appearing in the back. Hundreds of them appear in Xuanming's spiritual perception, including snakes, insects, rats, ants, tigers, leopards, wolves and pigs. They are of various races and the strength of their monster aura varies. There are top monsters that have condensed the holy fetus, and there are also new monsters that have cultivated into the Zhoutian. No matter which kind, they are all murderous.

Deep in the clouds above, a thousand-foot-long body was cruising, shaking its head and tail, its scales cold, and from time to time, a claw or a dragon's beard or eyes were revealed. A mighty pressure filled the world, and its domineering aura was revealed. It was a real dragon, commanding all the monsters, and none dared to disobey.

Five thousand miles, three thousand miles...

The real dragon displayed its great magical powers, and every time it cruised it would move part of the demon army and cross great distances. Otherwise, how could it cross thousands of miles in one day?
The mountain wind was whistling, his robes were fluttering, his white beard and hair were flying, and Xuanming exuded a sense of power. In the eyes of the Taoists, he was as steady as a mountain, but in the eyes of the monsters, he was as sharp as a sword, revealing his edge.

With a slight raise of his hand, thousands of runes flew into the air, spanning a distance of thousands of miles. Meteors and fire rained down from the sky, and the void was distorted by the heat wave. The beasts, monsters and birds in the front suffered, were hit by the fire rain, swallowed by the fire waves, and submerged in the sea of fire.

Tens of thousands of little demons died, some turned into charcoal, while others had their souls destroyed. Those that turned into charcoal were demons with shallow karma and not deep sins, so they still had a chance to be reincarnated; those that had their souls destroyed were demons with deep karma and had committed many evil deeds, so they would not have a second chance.

The raging fire formed a wall of fire in the path of the monster tide. The temperature was extremely high, but it did not burn the grass, trees, or rocks. However, no monster could break through this line of defense. It was both weird and terrifying.

A fish demon with a condensed golden elixir came walking on the waves. She was dressed in red scales, looked pretty, and had awakened a trace of dragon blood. She was weird but also noble, so she could be considered a dragon. She opened her mouth and spit out a flag. The flag was flashing red and growing in the wind. There were ancient runes engraved on it. This was the dragon clan's writing, called the Dragon Seal, which had the ability to call the wind and rain.

As she waved the flag, a group of water monsters gathered and cooperated with the fish monster to start creating clouds and rain. The dark clouds became heavier and deeper, and heavy rain poured down. However, the flames were not extinguished, but grew stronger and stronger. The heavy rain was like oil, which became fuel for the flames.

The screams were deafening, and more monsters died tragically. This scene stunned the fish monster and made the faces of the other monsters gloomy. The mood of the Taoists was completely opposite. They were full of energy and confidence.

Xuanming stroked his beard, feeling very satisfied. This was the Samadhi True Fire Talisman that he had drawn when he had nothing to do. Although it was limited by the materials and could only hold a trace of true fire, it was enough to hold a large amount of fire. A spark could start a prairie fire and a tiny light could become a torch, let alone the Samadhi True Fire!
Not to mention, in order to improve the efficiency of refining equipment, he had already entered the second stage of practicing this magical power. He collected thunder fire (fire in the air) on rainy days, collected earth fire (fire in stone) from the fire veins, and collected fire from thousands of stoves (fire in wood) while traveling in the mortal world. The Samadhi True Fire was only one step away from perfection, and the power of the fire talisman was even more extraordinary.

Oh~!

Above the sky, the sound of a dragon roared.

The real dragon noticed this scene and gave orders. The demon tide became more violent. Countless demon beasts went crazy with bloodshot eyes. They fell to their deaths one after another. They used their flesh and blood bodies to break through the wall of fire and used their corpses to pave a path for the demon tide. Countless demon beasts trampled on the corpses of their companions to move forward.

Primitive, bloody, cruel and violent!
The law of survival of the fittest and respect for the strong was fully demonstrated in this charge.

When the wall of fire could no longer stop the monsters from moving forward, the monster army had suffered tens of thousands of casualties, with corpses strewn all over the ground and wailing incessantly. The scene was both horrific and tragic.

The real dragon roared, the big monster roared, and a sense of anger spread among the monsters. The monsters were more murderous, and the blood mixed with the monster made the black clouds hang lower. The black was mixed with a bit of blood, and the strong killing filled the mountains and forests. The wind blew, the Taoist robe fluttered, Xuanming waved his sleeves again, and a large number of thunder talismans appeared thousands of miles away. The world was thundering, and lightning fell like rain. Every time it fell, a monster died tragically. The thunder was overbearing, extremely strong and masculine, and it was the nemesis of the monsters. Only a few creatures could escape.

Thunder exploded in the monster tide, and blood flowers bloomed. The monsters were frightened and hesitated to move forward for a moment. Even some big monsters were frightened and their faces turned pale and they were silent.

The dragon's roar sounded again, and a real dragon poked its head out from the heavy clouds. Its horns were ferocious, its whiskers fluttered like silk ribbons, and its amber eyes as big as lanterns stared at Xuanming across thousands of miles, exuding undisguised malice and murderous intent.

He had heard Lord Yin mention this Taoist priest with an ox nose and knew that the priest mastered a kind of thunder magic with terrifying power, like a real dragon that was good at summoning wind and rain, and could drive thunder and lightning. Because of this, he was very curious about Xuanming's thunder magic. Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he realized that Lord Yin was not exaggerating. This Taoist priest's thunder magic was of a very high level and his supernatural powers were profound, which was in no way inferior to his own.

This discovery made the True Dragon's heart sink. He opened his mouth and let out a series of dragon roars that shook the earth. The sound waves spread across the sky and the earth, dispelling the uneasiness and fear of the monsters, making their blood boil in an instant and they continued to move forward regardless of anything.

At the same time, the real dragon bared its fangs and brandished its claws, its white scales as big as millstones shone, the whole dragon was shining, it controlled thunder and electricity, and collided with Xuanming's thunder. The void exploded, and the residual power swept the ground, causing mountains to collapse, monsters to die tragically, and even big monsters were affected, either falling or seriously injured.

But overall, the threat of the Five Thunder Method to the monster tide was greatly reduced. The monster army came in a mighty force, shaking the earth and mountains with great momentum.

Xuanming did not continue throwing thunder talismans, because now was not the time to wrestle with the real dragon. The primary goal was to kill as many monsters as possible and reduce the threat of the monster tide. There were so many of them that it was hard to guard against them. If there was any negligence, there might be some that slipped through the net, endangering the lives of ordinary people.

Also, because even ants can kill elephants, when the demon tide reaches a certain scale, even those as strong as Qi cultivators, and even those who are great in spiritual cultivation, have to avoid its edge and dare not collide head-on.

Xuanming dared to take action because he had accumulated many talismans in the past years, which would not waste much mana, would not affect his combat effectiveness, and could also weaken the tide of monsters, so he had the confidence to fight.

He distributed the few remaining thunder talismans to his disciples to save their lives, in an attempt to turn the tide of battle at the critical moment and save his life. Looking at the demon tide five hundred miles away, Xuanming's eyes were cold and he waved his sleeves for the third time.

The wind is as raging as a mountain, and the rain is as heavy as a river.

A large number of talismans flew out, and after burning, there was a heavy wind and rain.

The wind is sword wind, and the rain is sword rain.

Heavy rain and wind fell, every drop of rain was a sword energy, every gust of wind contained a sword intent. When practicing sword and drawing talismans, he had a sudden idea and tried to merge the supernatural power of calling the wind and rain with the supernatural power of sword. Although he did not achieve great results, it was not without gain. This sword rain talisman was the result.

The real dragon roared and displayed its magical power to call the wind and rain to forcibly block the wind and rain. However, the talisman contained sword intent, not just wind and rain. Although the power was weakened, some monsters still suffered, with over ten thousand casualties.

Of course, it was also related to the fact that the True Dragon did not particularly care about the casualties of the little demons under his command and did not try his best to stop it. Obviously, the Demon King also wanted to use the power of the demons to consume Xuanming's power and reduce his means.

After three attempts, it was the lower-level creatures who paid the price in the end.

The demon tide was getting closer, and when it was only three hundred miles away, Xuanming did not make any move. This time it was the turn of the Taoists to show their power. They prepared for nearly a month and took out the talismans that had been accumulated in the Qiuzhen Temple for many years, turning the three hundred miles of land into a minefield.
