Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 422 Four Breaths
maritime.

Inky ash filled the space between the sea and the sky, and countless black and gray fires rose up like lotus blossoms, bursting forth and causing the milky white seawater to surge and churn.

Layers of radiant light rose from the sea, and a nine-tiered lotus-like Pure Land supported the withered body of the old monk. The radiance made his face appear as if it were gilded.

His gaze burned as he watched Sheni flit about like a headless fly, a look of drooling on his face, and golden tears streaming down his empty eyes.

'If this demon can be converted, the karmic debt of the [Pure Land After Calamity] will be increased immeasurably.'

Sheni already possessed the Taiyu Shuttle, borrowing a wisp of fortune from this extraordinary treasure. Moreover, he was a notorious bandit leader in the Western Sea, and the karmic burden on his body was immeasurably heavy.

Moreover, this demon does not practice rituals or demonic arts, but instead practices the extremely orthodox path of immortal cultivation.

Such a demon was almost the best candidate for salvation. Seeing this, golden tears flowed like water from Sheni's empty eyes, which was quite terrifying.

He immediately began to dissipate the void in this place, using the Pure Land to suppress Sheni, while simultaneously sending out five demonic Vajras to fight with their formation.

The Three Flames were burning fiercely. Pingxiu's eyes were cold as he raised the [Heavenly Eight Trigrams Furnace] in his hand. He used the power of the tribulation to eliminate the void and stop Sheni, relying on the black ash filling the sky.

【The Ashes of Kunchi】.

This ash is the ash of a calamity, something truly left behind after a catastrophe, rarely seen in the world. It inherently possesses the nature of repelling the void. Now, this Bodhisattva Bodhi is using it to perform a ritual, which is why it can work in conjunction with the Pure Land to achieve such miraculous effects.

'The power of calamity.'

Pingxiu felt somewhat relieved. Just by looking at the gray color and the other person's attire, he guessed that this Bodhi Master was none other than the Jieli Master of Jieyu Temple, whose five demonic Vajras under his command were quite famous.

In terms of cultivation alone, Jie Li is already comparable to a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator. His five demonic subordinates, when arrayed, can hold off two or three early-stage Purple Mansion cultivators, making him quite troublesome. Not to mention the peacock eyeing him menacingly from the side.

"Gentlemen, this time we will likely have to deal with this Buddhist monk and the peacock. After it's done, I will give each of you a True Qi [Ascension Pill] and a Pure Qi [Mysterious Wind Nourishing Powder]."

He gritted his teeth slightly and conveyed his thoughts to the assembled Purple Mansions, sparing no expense.

Both of these elixirs are extremely famous, requiring rare spiritual materials and complicated refining methods. Only he in the Western Sea has the ability to produce so many.

Upon hearing this, Wu You's eyes narrowed slightly, but he was the first to respond. Given his personality, he would naturally not back down. When facing Shi Xiu, he would just fight; the elixir was irrelevant.

Jian Zhuo, standing to the side, softened his expression slightly and responded in his mind. With two spiritual pills available, he had no room to refuse.

Xu Xuan began to ponder the key points in his mind. It seemed that Pingxiu was going to compete with Jieli for the treasure in Sheni's hands, so he naturally agreed to it.

Two rare spiritual pills: the [Feathered Flower Seeking Truth Pill] can accelerate the formation of inner vision and is of great use whether breaking through to the Purple Mansion or cultivating supernatural powers.

【Xuanfeng Lingyang Powder】is a medicine for nourishing life. It can be used to treat injuries such as those caused by fire from Dingzhi or lightning strikes from Sheshen. It has some of the effects of 【Transforming Yuanshui】.

These two elixirs are priceless and worth the risk. Xu Xuan immediately turned his Dan Ting sword around, his killing intent palpable, and a chilling silver-white light flickered on the blade.

He now possesses two supernatural powers, combined with sword intent and the strength of his lineage, making him a match for ordinary mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivators. In this battle, he is not the protagonist; it's up to Pingxiu.

A hazy, ethereal light shot into the sky, dispelling the ashes of the calamity and clashing with the flames. Sheni transformed into her original white elephant form and began to rampage through the formation.

The five demon Vajras chanted scriptures, and the power of vows from the Pure Land fell like a rainbow, casting itself onto the bodies of the Vajras. These Yakshas and Rakshasas all roared and tried to use their magic to suppress Shani.

The white elephant's entire demonic body seemed to be flowing with lead-like luster, dispelling all the pure light that had been struck. As it activated the "Washing Away Lead-like Luster" technique, it moved like a slippery loach, leaping amidst the layers of radiant light.

The way of Xin Jin is to maintain one's true nature and cultivate one's jade body. This method, "Washing Away the Lead," is the most prized supernatural power of this demon. It can remove the leaden light from the magical light, water, and fire attached to the body, thus reducing injuries and helping to escape.

The Taiyu Shuttle was pushed to its limit. Shenni had never felt the power of the shuttle in his hand so strong. With the blessing of Yuqing Xuanguang, even when trapped in the formation, he could still walk on flat ground.

boom!
The thunder and fire that fell from the sky completely suppressed his newly arisen sense of luck.

First, the spiritual fires of the True, C, and Li paths surged forth, then, guided by the secrets of alchemy in the precious furnace, they gathered into a single point through the explosive power of fire and shot out from a small hole above the furnace.

The ultimate fire practiced by immortal cultivators has a close connection with alchemy. Pingxiu naturally knew this wonderful method, which could compress the nature of fire and borrow the form of ultimate fire to increase its killing power.

Then a line of spiritual fire shot straight out, constantly eroding the Yuqing Xuan Light he used to protect himself. In the contest of magical power, Pingxiu, with his profound foundation, was ultimately the better one.

Then came the Yin energy, and the thunderous sword light and the metal-replenishing thorns attacked simultaneously. Many supernatural powers were activated, and many lights flickered in the air.

He dared not be careless, so he immediately hid his flesh and blood again, transforming it into jade bones, and at the same time used the wonder of the Yuqing Xuan Light to move and dodge.

However, the thunderous sword light was unavoidable and severed his jade bones. He could only try to wash it away with lead light. But now, Jian Zhuo seized the opportunity and used the Soul-Calling Technique to interfere, obscuring Sheni's life and hindering his magic power.

He froze, his body shattered, and was horrified as many of his jade bones were severed.

'It is said that sword intent can be equivalent to a divine power, but I think it is even more powerful.' Most of the injuries on Shenni's body were caused by that sword intent. If it weren't for the fact that his several divine powers could protect him, and that Yu Qing Xuan Guang could dispel the killing intent, he would probably be seriously injured by now.

The ancient method of sword immortals' cultivation was to transform qi into qi, seek the intent of the sword, refine it into their life force, and thus resonate with the vast void, thereby attaining the wondrous essence of their destiny.

If one specializes in this path and seeks the Dao through the sword, that is the ultimate realm that the sword lineage can achieve. However, right now, Sheni is finding it difficult to withstand the unstoppable power of this [Celestial Repeller].

He gradually lost his supernatural powers, his flesh and blood recovered and solidified, and his injuries worsened. At this moment, he transformed back into human form, roared, and looked up at the tribulation power and peace above.

"You lot, don't think I'm easy to bully!"

Sheni shouted, but Yu Qingxuan could not withstand the merciless Pure Land radiance and supernatural power coming his way. He was seriously injured, his entire body was shattered, and he had no chance to resist anymore.

The Taiyu Shuttle remained suspended in the air, radiating a hazy, ethereal light, while Sheni's demonic body plummeted downwards, where it was immediately suppressed by the five demonic Vajras and sent to the Pure Land.

Amidst surging light and rising true fire, Jie Li and Ping Xiu attacked almost simultaneously, each striving to grab the Taiyu Shuttle, unleashing their respective magical powers and refusing to yield.

"I am the Great Master of the Temple of Calamity Remnants, transmitted by the Awakened One of the Void Calamity. Calamity Power, you Western Sea Immortal Cultivators, do you truly wish to antagonize my Pure Land of Calamity Remnants?"

Jie Li's expression hardened slightly, his empty eye sockets glaring at him, and he roared like a lion.

"You are a successor of the Awakened One? My [Great Dao of Heavenly Profound Fire] is even inherited from the Immortal Lord. I think you are the one who should step down."

Pingxiu sneered. As he activated his supernatural powers, his white hair gradually turned black. He raised the alchemy furnace high in his hand, and the three spiritual flames of Zhen, Bing, and Li rolled forth.

The two sides clashed, and Pingxiu surprisingly held his own, fighting Jieli to a standstill.

His cultivation and magical power were inferior to his opponent's, but the spiritual weapons and the power of water and fire in the hands of immortal cultivators were far superior to those of Buddhist cultivators.

This [Eight Trigrams Furnace of the Heavenly Piercing] is a precious spiritual treasure, containing many spiritual flames. It was unleashed by Pingxiu in conjunction with the [Three Elements Yang Venerable] technique. Its power is no less than that of a single divine ability, and may even have a tendency to surpass it.

The power of the tribulation is said to be comparable to the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm, but this does not take into account the lineage, craftsmanship, magic, or spiritual artifacts. It can only fight against a late-stage Purple Mansion realm cultivator who has nothing but his supernatural powers.

Pingxiu became ruthless at this moment. Although he was known for his kind nature and was skilled in alchemy, he rarely made a move. But now he truly revealed his cultivation level, and his True Fire Divine Power and spells were extremely terrifying.

Jie Li's expression was quite unpleasant. He activated the glazed pagoda, and colorful light rose up, weaving like a net. However, it was burned through in an instant, and raging spiritual fire rushed straight over, melting a corner of the treasure in his hand.

He immediately summoned the ashes of the calamity to cover Pingxiu and shield him from the flames, but Pingxiu smiled slightly and put away his spiritual fire.

Pingxiu was currently covered by a thick layer of black ash. Jieli was overjoyed and was about to recite an incantation to suppress it when a burst of crimson flame shot up from the shell formed by the black ash, instantly breaking the shell apart.

Pingxiu's aura surged again, as if he had survived a calamity and been reborn, possessing a rebirth-like quality that made Jieli frown.

The supernatural power of "Reignition" is the way to survive dangers and tribulations and preserve one's life. Each time it is rekindled, the fire burns even more fiercely.

Jie Li, unaware of the profound mysteries of the Heavenly Dao, made a grave mistake, which only amplified Ping Xiu's supernatural power. He was in a difficult situation, yet he did not back down, and the two were locked in a stalemate, neither willing to relinquish the Taiyu Shuttle.

Peacock and Jian Zhuo took to the air. Both of them had recently broken through to the Purple Mansion realm and were now fighting. Their Yin energy clashed with the five-colored rainbow light.

Fellow Daoist Xu

Wu You's expression turned slightly solemn, and he was about to speak when Xu Xuan already understood his meaning, and simply said:

"You can go and help Fellow Daoist Pingxiu capture this Shi Xiu. As for the Vajra, leave them to me."

The man in the light blue Taoist robe nodded slightly, not refusing. His supernatural abilities were not suited for direct combat, so going to support Pingxiu at this time was the best option.

Xu Xuan exhaled lightly, drew his sword, and rose up. The five Vajras below the Pure Land roared and charged forward with heavy rays of light.

He didn't move at this moment, but simply turned his sword around, activated the [Heavenly Tribulation], condensed his sword intent, and gathered a point of pure silver lightning on the sword's edge, which he then gently slashed out.

The sword strike was extremely slow, aimed precisely at the leading Vajra, but it was locked onto by heavy lightning punishments and the manifestation of heavenly laws, making it impossible for the Vajra to escape.

With a single sword strike, the Vajra's body was sliced ​​open like wax by a hot knife, cleanly cleaved from the center of its brow. It only had time to let out a mournful cry before dissipating into a radiant light, its true spirit not even having the chance to return to the Pure Land.

The remaining four Vajras froze, their previously high morale plummeting to its lowest point, and they all looked at the sword-wielding man above them with fear.

"Four Vajras, four breaths, that's enough."

Xu Xuan gently swung the Dan Ting sword, and the spirit sword rang out continuously, its spirit leaping with joy.
