Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 394 Dragon's Appearance (Two Chapters Combined)

Above the Ren Sea.

The light of the earth in the Gen direction changes, and the Yellow Stone God stands between the sky and the sea, his body as tall as Mount Tai, his aura reaching the peak, and his extremely terrifying divine light gathers and envelops all directions.

A line of yellow-black inert light came from behind and landed beside Hua Gu.

"My lord, it is a metal insect."

When Cheng Yu returned, he was in a terrible state. His jade-like body had been eroded by the Ren River, and there was a terrible hole in his heart, where silver ants were gnawing and biting, bringing with it a burst of Xin metal light.

He fought fiercely with Chongmang and was severely injured. The most terrifying thing was the Xin Jin insect, which was specifically designed to destroy the mountain-like body, causing the divine light on Cheng Yu's body to waver.

Hua Gu activated his divine power, and the true form of a mountain descended, temporarily immobilizing the silver ants within Cheng Yu's physical body. He then said in a deep voice:

"To keep me in check."

Upon receiving the order, Cheng Yu took the [Primordial Chaos Pearl] and activated thousands of bright, dazzling primordial magnetic divine lights, which gradually merged into the great formation.

Xu Xuan's eyes showed no sign of hostility. He gripped Lie Que in his hand, and purple and white lightning surged on the black sword. His aura grew stronger inch by inch until it could withstand Hua Gu.

“Fellow Daoist Huanyan, you can handle Chengyu.”

Huan Yan hesitated for a moment, but Xu Xuan's voice carried a peculiar authority that made him convincing.

He responded involuntarily, transforming back into a scene of intersecting rainbows, dispersing the magnetic light from all directions, and forming a jade-like force to resist the great array of the Gen Earth, allowing Xu Xuan to remain temporarily unaffected.

When Huan Yan and Cheng Yu started to struggle, it turned out that the mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator from the Rainbow Sect had better skills and was in better condition.

He broke the original Gen Earth Formation and suppressed Cheng Yu along with the [Yuan Wen Pearl].

Hua Gu let the rainbow and the light from the sky fall down, but the yin and yang energies in his body remained perfectly balanced and unaffected. Mount Shengji merged into his body, and the immortal talisman filled in the gaps, making him extremely stable.

The True Man Lingji is currently hiding in the mountains, in a state of spiritual union and perfect concentration, which is how he has reached this state of being.

'Unfortunately, Lingji was too badly injured to act directly; otherwise, things would have been much simpler today.'

Hua Gu felt a little regretful. Ling Ji could only help him stabilize Shengji Mountain. This person was too badly injured, and he would not directly take action unless absolutely necessary.

However, that's enough for now.

By sacrificing the Divine Union Immortal Talisman to eliminate this variable in the Dark Swamp, we can reliably obtain that Mysterious Qi, and with the protection of a powerful figure.

Hua Gu's mind settled, his expression solemn. He stood tall in the sky, the golden divine patterns on his face shining brightly. He pressed down, and the light of the Gen earth surged, causing countless divine peaks to fall like rain, crashing towards Xu Xuan.

The light of the sea rippled, the Milky Way poured out, and merged into the vast and boundless Renze. [Jiang Lei Ze] and [Ming Xing Shi] were activated together, and the ze surged with water, its power increasing again and again.

Xu Xuan raised his head, raised his sword against the tide, and pushed back the sky full of Gen light. Countless bolts of lightning rose from the marsh, rushing to the sky like dragons and snakes, colliding with the Gen Earth Divine Peak.

Boom!

Yellow dust erupted between the sky and the sea, lightning flashed through it, and a dazzling light rose up. Hua Gu's expression gradually became serious. His opponent had blocked his attack steadily, which was somewhat unexpected.

The dark blue Ren River surged, washing away the dust between heaven and earth.

Xu Xuan raised his sword and pointed forward, his aura majestic and unfathomable. Thunderous swamp supported him, and his sword intent circulated. Within the thunderous swamp behind him, a majestic black dragon could be faintly seen leaping, carrying the light of the sea and spitting out lightning.

【Mingxing Shi】, belonging to the realm of divine power, is symbolized by a suspended river flowing into a vast water, a dragon hiding in ink clouds, treading on ten thousand layers of dark light, riding on the vast primordial water, at this time it is in harmony with 【Jiang Lei Ze】.

"The supernatural powers of the Dark Swamp."

Hua Gu recognized the origin of this supernatural power, snorted coldly, gripped the Mountain-Driving Whip in his hand, and transformed the true form of the mountain, lashing down with the whip once more.

Xu Xuan, however, drew his sword and charged straight at the enemy. Behind him, a black dragon rose up, and he stood atop the dragon's head, his sword trailing a pure purple light as he slashed at the Mountain-Chasing Whip.

As the two clashed, the Molong lunged forward, its body enveloped in the light of the vast and mysterious ocean, riding the relentless flow of the Renyang Dragon, soaring through the sky and crashing into the earth. Its dragon body shattered countless mountains, spewing out rolling purple lightning to block the Mountain-Driving Whip.

The wondrous power of 【Mingxing Shi】 can activate 【Guangming Youguang】 and 【Renyang Benliu】, creating the form of a Minglong (Dragon of the Netherworld), and imbuing it with all kinds of innate supernatural powers of the Mingze (Netherworld), as if the true self has appeared in the world, without the need for transformation.

While Minglong restrained the true form of the mountain whip, Xu Xuan had already charged in front of Hua Gu and unleashed his swordsmanship. Ultimately, the human body was more advantageous.

A faint purple light flashed as the sword and mace clashed, creating a continuous booming sound. The two sides were locked in a fierce struggle, and the light of the sword and mace, along with the energy of thunder, burst forth between them, illuminating their faces.

Xu Xuanlong's body erupted with tremendous power, and he pushed the Jade Blood Heavenly Heart Technique to its limit. His blood and qi soared into the sky, and he slashed upwards with his spiritual sword, gradually deflecting the opponent's Victory Golden Mace.

"Come!"

Hua Gu roared angrily, realizing that he had actually lost the contest of strength.

He transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-tall giant, as if carved from yellow stone, with golden divine patterns flickering all over his body.

The Mountain-Driving Whip was unleashed, transforming into the true form of a mountain that hung above. At this moment, Hua Gu held the Victory Golden Mace, majestic and awe-inspiring, and stopped the raging wind and rain.

This giant of yellow stone stepped into the Ren Sea, the water only reaching his waist. The Shengjin Treasure Mace in his hand was like a golden peak, crashing down with a thunderous roar.

The dragon, formed from supernatural power, roared and spiraled upwards, its tail slashing away the golden mace before charging forward swiftly.

The dragon's body coiled around Hua Gu's Dharma body, locking it tightly. The dragon's head, as massive as a mountain, faced Hua Gu's face and opened at that moment.

A captivating purple aura surged within the dragon's mouth, and under the blessing of [Ren Yang Rushing Flow], purple lightning poured forth like a flood.

The giant yellow stone head of Hua Gu's Dharma body was submerged, the yellow stone shattered, and its eyebrows and eyes were completely worn away by lightning, revealing a charred black area.

"Stop the momentum!"

Hua Gu roared, and the mysterious light of the Gen Earth shone in his eyes, which had been destroyed by lightning. He activated the [Perfect Observation Realm], and the Nether Dragon that was coiling around his body immediately lost its momentum and could no longer hold him.

He reached out with one hand, the golden divine patterns flickering, and reached towards the dragon's mouth. Countless dust particles emerged from his hand, blocking the lightning. With a forceful push, he firmly pressed the dragon to the bottom of the sea.

The dragon roared continuously, and its struggle caused huge waves to surge and fierce winds to howl.

Hua Gu gripped the Victory Gold Mace in his hand, chanted an incantation, and the image of a steed appeared on the mace. He exerted his strength and smashed the mace into the dragon's head. Qian Yang's horse fell to the ground and followed, stepping onto the dragon's body.

The seabed collapsed, and water rushed into the abyss, forming a huge whirlpool. However, the Golden Mace and the Dry Horse missed their target. Xu Xuan used the wondrous power of "Riding Without Blame" to instantly capture the Nether Dragon.

Xu Xuan remained in human form, standing on a cloud, accompanied by the celestial soldiers and generals of the Thunder Palace. The thirty-six of them formed a demon-slaying and evil-subduing formation, surrounding Lie Que and offering a sword sacrifice.

With Lei Ju in control, it was not just him who was wielding the sword, but Lei Gong and the entire world that were unleashing this sword. Lie Que trembled incessantly, as if being hammered, and moved along its path.

The sword shot out like lightning, instantly piercing through Hua Gu's Dharma body and tearing open a hole in his chest cavity where purple lightning dissipated.

Hua Gu staggered back a few steps, his Dharma body swaying violently, smashing several islands behind him to pieces.

"The true form of the Great Mountain is as I command."

Hua Gu chanted the incantation loudly, and the true form of the mountain transformed by the Mountain-Driving Whip above moved at this moment, taking in all the true forms of the mountain. At this moment, the earth energy dispersed, the Gen light flowed, and it drew towards Xu Xuan on its own.

This whip struck solidly. The Mountain-Driving Whip now felt as heavy as ten thousand mountains. When it hit Xu Xuan's body, he felt as if all the bones in his body were about to be shattered into powder. The mystical phenomena in his inner vision surged violently, and his aura plummeted to its lowest point.

He plunged straight into the sea. Hua Gu ignored the sword intent in his chest, strode forward, and lashed out with his whip again, parting the seawater. At the same time, he used the Victory Gold Mace to stabilize the sea. The dry horse landed, and a sense of strength and vigor arose spontaneously.

"Today I will kill you, extinguishing any remaining thoughts of Mingze!"

Hua Gu activated his divine power, and the [Quiet Dust Gate] manifested. The Yellow Dust Dao Gate absorbed the dragon's body, while another [Contemplation Realm] prevented Xu Xuan from having a chance to exert his power, thus blocking his momentum.

"[Yuan Collapse Body]!"

Hua Gu activated his magic, wielding a whip with the intent of a mountain collapse, and blasted Xu Xuan's body apart, which was then engulfed by layers of Gen Earth light.

Xu Xuan was already seriously injured and in mortal danger, but he did not leave. He activated the [Thunderous Swamp] technique to take the fall and recover from his injuries, returning to perfection before disappearing into the sea.

"Where to go!"

Hua Gu roared and activated his magic once more, unleashing the power to collapse mountains and ravage the sea.

【Yuan Collapse】, this Gen Earth spell is a sixth-grade technique. Although it is not as profound as the 【Three Mountains Suppressing Reversal Technique】, it is extremely damaging to the physical body. Once it lands, the physical body will disintegrate inch by inch from the inside.

The seawater parted, and a pair of giant arms, radiating purple and white lightning, stretched out, wielding thunder swords and slashing, facing the Mountain-Driving Whip. A purple thunderous sun rose from the swords, opposing the intent to disintegrate.

Then another pair of arms emerged, revealing a five-demon halberd surrounded by a dark blue-green aura, which slashed down towards Hua Gu's shoulder.

Lei Ze has transformed into a holy body!
Xu Xuan stretched out his six arms, unfolding his Dharma body, becoming as tall as Hua Gu, and ten thousand feet in length.

With the power of his six arms, five demonic figures materialized on the demonic halberd. As the light fell, the halberd struck Hua Gu's Dharma body but was blocked, unable to advance any further.

Hua Gu opened his mouth and spat out a torrent of golden evil energy. He activated the [Inlaid Gold Carving] technique, and the golden divine patterns spread along Xu Xuan's Dharma body, gradually etching it away, aiming to extinguish Xu Xuan's thought of using [Riding Without Blame] once again.

A crimson raven-shaped spirit fire rose up, and Xu Xuan stretched out his arm again, activating the [Crow's Heavenly Fire] in the Bingyang Banner to burn away the golden evil and block the opponent's metal-reversing pattern. At the same time, the wondrous [Unretreat] arose, enhancing his blood courage.

Lei Ze's six arms moved simultaneously, slashing with the thunder sword and brandishing the demonic halberd, forcing Hua Gu to retreat continuously.

Despite his internal injuries, Xu Xuan endured the blow from the Mountain-Driving Whip. The previous strike landed solidly, and even though he blocked it with the miraculous power of substitution, the disintegrating energy continued to surge from the whip endlessly.

He mustered his strength to hold on, glancing at the mountain form above Hua Gu, which was constantly dissipating, indicating that the power of that talisman was waning.

'If we can hold on, he will surely be defeated.'

Xu Xuan clearly understood the current situation. Although Hua Gu's power was strong, it could not be maintained for long. However, he himself was standing in the Heavenly Pool, and his recovery speed was far superior to that of his opponent. With this disparity, as long as he could wear down the talisman until it dissipated, he would have the chance to win.

'Truly difficult to kill.' Xu ​​Xuan's heart sank. He could seal the void with his sword intent and thunder formation. If a person in the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm was not careful, he could still kill him. But Hua Gu had many methods. Unless a great supernatural being took action, no one could kill him with certainty.

Hua Gu also realized something was wrong. This dragon species was far more resilient than he had thought, and the longer the situation dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

At this moment, a voice rang in his mind, coming from within Mount Shengji, which had merged into his body. This made his eyes sharpen, as if he had made up his mind.

The true forms of the mountains became incomparably dazzling, forming a continuous expanse, and under the drive of the Mountain-Driving Whip, they pressed down, the dust gates were drawn in, and the earth's eyes blocked their momentum.

At this moment, Hua Gu fully activated his divine powers, burning the last bit of power from the Divine Union Immortal Talisman, and suppressed Xu Xuan so tightly that even the [Cheng Wujiu] could not be activated.

With the Divine Union Immortal Talisman fully activated, two supernatural powers descended, making it difficult for the already minor-completion [Riding Without Blame] to escape. Xu Xuan felt as if he were trapped in a quagmire.

The Golden Mace pierced through the Thunder Swamp's Dharma Body, pinning Xu Xuan to death. The Mountain-Driving Whip followed, leaping like a serpent, binding the opponent in place.

Hua Gu opened his mouth, revealing yellow jade teeth, within which was a layer of dust. At this moment, it trembled and quickly peeled away, revealing a human figure inside.

Miraculous!

The Taoist priest was badly injured and collapsed to the ground. Most of his body was destroyed, and sword intent and lightning raged within him. Now, without the protection of the Dust Embryo, his face showed extreme pain.

However, the Taoist priest still managed to raise his head and look at the frozen Xu Xuan, revealing a sinister smile. The talisman glowed, communicating with Xu Xuan and Hua Gu through Shengji Mountain, allowing him to temporarily use his magic power.

"Three mountains."

His voice was extremely low, yet it sent a chill down Xu Xuan's spine. He desperately urged his sword intent and slashed repeatedly. Hua Gu's Dharma body dimmed for a moment, but he never loosened his supernatural power to suppress it.

The two mountains, Kunlun and Sumeru, crashed down, landing on Xu Xuan's left and right shoulders respectively.

Hua Gu held him firmly in place, so the Three Mountains Suppression Technique naturally fell entirely on him.

As the last Mount Tai was about to fall, Xu Xuan looked up and saw a colossal mountain radiating with the mysterious light of the Earth element about to crash down, directly onto his crown chakra.

The Substitute Death Technique of Subduing Thunder Swamp has already been used once. If it is used again, the supernatural power will be dissipated. This supernatural power is the foundation of his inner vision. Once it is broken, he may even fall out of the Purple Mansion, and he will die as well.

"Fellow Taoist, let me help you!"

As the rainbow light intensified, Huan Yan burst forth, unleashing her full power to break free from Cheng Yu's magnetic light.

Cheng Yu rushed forward to stop him, but the metal worms in his body began to gnaw at him again, almost causing him to collapse.

A rainbow descended from the sky, carrying billowing black mist and a female pendant, blocking the view beneath Mount Tai, where it was consumed by the heavy light of the Earth element.

"court death!"

Ling Ji's gaze was cold. Hongxia was originally an appendage of Wutu. When she encountered this technique, half of her power was lost. Not to mention that Huanyan had not cultivated her supernatural powers and her physical body was weak. How could she withstand such a great technique?
As expected, under the suppression of the Wutu Xuan Guang, the rainbow dissipated, and Huan Yan's Dharma body transformed into a colorful veil, which only held off Mount Tai for a moment before being pulverized by the Wutu Xuan Guang.

Mount Tai fell again, but it ultimately lost most of its power, only causing the Heavenly Dragon and the Giant Spirit Head of the Dharma Body to disperse, while the Chaos Form in the center remained unchanged.

The three mountains dispersed, and a true spirit, enveloped in the remnants of the colorful light, landed on Xu Xuan's Dharma body's shoulder.

"Kill him!"

Huan Yan's furious shout was filled with deep resentment, like a vengeful ghost emerging from the underworld.

Only then did he truly reveal his true nature; all talk of cultivating supernatural powers and pursuing a promising future was illusory.

His only desire was to kill Hua Gu to avenge his Daoist partner. This grudge had been brewing for hundreds of years, and now it erupted, bringing with it boundless hatred.

Lei Ze's Dharma Body suddenly erupted, taking advantage of Hua Gu's exhausted magic power and the dimming of the immortal talisman to make his move.

Within the chaos, a mouth opened wide, spitting out a purple and white intertwined mysterious lightning, the chaotic energy spreading out and bombarding the opponent's Dharma body.

The demonic halberd cleaved down, severing Hua Gu's right arm cleanly, which sank into the sea, and he could no longer hold onto the Mountain-Driving Whip.

The invading energy eroded his protective aura, and the congenital deficiencies in his life force became difficult to suppress, causing his supernatural powers to become disordered and his magical power to stagnate.

Xu Xuan swung his sword horizontally, the sword intent on the blade of Lieque soaring to the sky. Like a hot knife cutting through wax, it slashed along the neck of Hua Gu's Dharma Body, beheading him. The mountain-like head sank into the sea, while the opponent's Dharma Body collapsed instantly, turning into a cloud of yellow dust.

A burst of mysterious light erupted from the Gen Earth, and Ling Ji's figure emerged, still clutching a true spirit in his hand—it was Hua Gu's.

His face was sinister as he grasped the true spirit and barely managed to activate his supernatural powers.

"grown ups!"

When Cheng Yu saw this scene from the sky, he was terrified and struggled to get up, but he was blocked by Huan Yan, who was riding the wind, and could not come to his aid for a while.

"Lingji, you!"

Hua Gu rebuked him, but Ling Ji, dragging his injured body, coldly replied:

"You owe me."

With his supernatural powers activated, Hua Gu's true spirit exploded instantly, along with his remaining physical body, turning into a sky full of yellow dust and rolling golden evil energy, almost overturning Ren Hai, forcing Xu Xuan to retreat.

Mount Shengji condensed into a single speck of dust, and when it was unleashed, it burst forth with unprecedented brilliance, engulfing Lingji.

He gripped a dim talisman tightly in his hand, inscribed with the words "Divine Union." He channeled his magical power, protected by Mount Shengji, and broke through the void to head straight for the outside world.

The Gen Earth represents roads and doors, possessing the wonder of shrinking the earth to an inch. At this moment, Ling Ji took advantage of the strange phenomenon of Hua Gu's fall to escape, and Xu Xuan could not stop him, so he could only slash out with his sword from afar.

Above, Cheng Yu was gradually losing her strength; her jade body was stained with iridescent colors as she plummeted into the sea.

Xu Xuan withdrew his Dharma body, temporarily suppressed the injuries in his body, created a lightning formation to tightly bind Cheng Yu, and then took a deep breath to barely support his Dharma body.

Within the dragon's body was the earthly energy of Gen and the evil wind of Dui metal. Most of its demonic bones were shattered, and the mystical phenomena within its inner realm showed signs of further fragmentation. This was the aftereffect of overusing the substitution technique.

Huan Yan gracefully descended, having shielded Xu Xuan from the [Three Mountains Suppressing Rebellion Technique]. His body was mostly shattered, his injuries extremely severe, yet his phoenix eyes shone brightly. He slowly stepped forward, bowed, and called out:
"I, Du Wangran, greet the Lord of Tianchi."

The Ren Sea surged, the Heavenly Pool churned, and Xu Xuan stood there, his gaze fixed on the Xuan Yi Qi on the blue stone platform. The ancient stele within his body trembled violently, as if calling out.

Despite his severe injuries, his spirit and energy were at their peak. He was dignified and accepted Huan Yan's gift with composure, then strode towards the blue stone platform.

Even though he and Hua Gu fought fiercely, this Dao platform remained completely undamaged. The Yin and Yang energies circulated freely, and the Dao essence was naturally formed, which stirred Xu Xuan's heart.
-
The sea, within the palace.

Yang Yuanxin sat to the side, her gaze worried, her crimson eyes dim. She gripped the hem of her skirt, hesitant to speak, and looked at her brother, only managing a trembling voice:

"Brother——"

"No need for further words. If I were alone, I could certainly go to help him, but now I bear the responsibility of my clan. Can I leave now?"

Yang Yuanyi sat in the main seat of the hall, his eyes flashing with dark light, his demeanor chilling. He then simply said:
"The Stone Man Dao is powerful and fiercely contested in the Ren Sea. It's one thing to lend out the Five Demon Life-Devouring Halberd, but to also secretly lend out the Bingyang Banner is another matter entirely. What will happen if it falls into Hua Gu's hands and can't be retrieved?"

“If Mingze values ​​him, any trick of the Golden Core demon race could save him. But if an important person wants him dead, no amount of Purple Mansion cultivators will help.”

Yang Yuanxin listened silently, but a chill gradually rose in his heart. He looked at his elder brother and felt that something had changed. His elder brother would never have spoken to him like this in the past.

'The omen of Mingyi signifies a tyrant, a wicked ruler.'

She suddenly remembered what the Demon King who stole the text had said, and only then did she understand what the so-called price was. She lowered her head and silently prayed for that dragon.

Yang Yuanyi suddenly stood up, his gaze sharpening, the black flames beside him surging. He seemed lost in thought, and asked in a questioning voice:
"This is?"

As he rode the wind out of the palace, he saw boundless yellow dust rising from the sea of ​​Ren, with golden energy surging and exuding a chilling aura, shielding him from all prying eyes from the outside world.

Yang Yuanxin followed him out, keeping a certain distance, her crimson eyes dim, her brows lowered.
-
Beyond the Heavenly Lake lies the vast ocean, in the boundless void.

Enveloped in the dust of the earth, a dark, gloomy light surged, temporarily concealing Ling Ji's form with the wonder of the earth. His injuries worsened, yet boundless joy rose in his heart.

The [Divine Union] Great Talisman has finally fallen into his hands! Even though this talisman has exhausted its Dao power, it is still a symbol of the Dao lineage.

The [Fixed Limit] talisman had long been exhausted and hidden in another mountain. As for the Duan family's [Mountain Carrying], it disappeared when Shu fell. He had a guess that it was probably lost in the Shu Kingdom's cave.

'When all three talismans arrive, it will be fine.'

He felt a surge of emotion. If he hadn't coveted this immortal talisman, he wouldn't have risked his life for Hua Gulai. Although he was injured, obtaining this talisman had cleared the clouds and brought him clarity on his path.

'Mingze'

Ling Ji didn't harbor much resentment towards Mu Youdu at this moment. Instead, he felt a sense of gratitude. If it weren't for this dragon seed, how could he have obtained this immortal talisman?
Just as he was thinking this, the mysterious light of the Gen Earth in the void gradually dimmed, and the dust embryo formed by the Shengji Mountain showed a faint tendency to dissolve.

'No, I used the strange phenomenon of Hua Gu's fall to conceal myself using the wonder of earth-covering techniques. How could anyone detect me?'

He felt that he was being paranoid, and perhaps the Shengji Mountain was damaged, so he activated his supernatural powers to stabilize the mortal embryo.

A flash of azure light appeared in the void ahead, and a woman slowly emerged, her gray eyes unfathomable, revealing no extraordinary abilities.
She stood in front of Lingji, her supernatural powers shifting, faintly revealing the shape of a nine-headed strange bird.

"Who are you!"

Ling Ji shouted, but the woman smiled slightly and said softly:
"You took my things."

In the vast emptiness, darkness returned, and not a trace of hidden light remained. The dust settled, and Shengji Mountain returned to its original form, falling directly into the mortal world and revealing the spiritual essence hidden within.

The strange bird swooped down, opened its beak and swallowed, a fierce wind howled, and then emitted a satisfied sound before disappearing from sight, as if it had never been there.
