Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 688 Corpse Puppet
East of Baihe.

The blue peaks collapsed one after another, the earth's energy surged, and the golden hue of autumn danced among the rocks, while golden sunlight shone continuously in the sky, all falling upon a tall, majestic golden figure.

The golden figure was entirely a bright vermilion-gold color, clad in heavy black armor, with a hideous crack on its chest, surrounded by swirling flames and fluttering red crows.

[Wang Fengtian Lijinren]

This golden figure was originally controlled by the ancient demon lord Li Yu. With its body made of gold, it was transformed by the Yang Li, but it was unfortunately killed by the extreme Yang of Bing fire. As a result, the Yin within it was damaged, its power was greatly reduced, and it became flawed.

The golden figure was now completely suppressed, with dazzling rainbows descending from the sky, washing over and shaking it, making it difficult for the entire golden figure to remain stable.

"Who are you!"

A solemn voice rang out from among the golden figures, like the clash of metal, while the brilliant rosy light in the sky gradually dispersed, revealing a woman dressed in a long dress of cloud brocade and colorful silk.

This woman was exceptionally beautiful, with eyebrows like crescent moons and eyes like bright stars, yet she possessed a chilling aura of the North that made people afraid to approach her. In her hand, she held a sword adorned with peacock feathers that shimmered with iridescent light.

“Viewing the Clouds Room, Tuoba Cai, you can also call me [Qingju].

"The Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty actually still has bloodlines?"

A rare hint of doubt crossed Ru Su's voice: Could the Tuoba clan still have remnants?
This lineage is an ancient imperial clan, the instigators of the second war between immortals and demons.

The Tuoba clan originally belonged to the Xianbei people. They rose to prominence after the fall of Zhao and the destruction of Shu. They mostly cultivated the virtue of earth and claimed to be the bloodline of Emperor Xuan of Han.

Back then, Tuoba Yuanye defeated Tie Fuhelian and Murong of Northern Yan in one fell swoop, and led his army south. He became the emperor of the state with four Wu and one Ji, treating the people like livestock and driving immortals like animals. This eventually triggered a war of golden core cultivators, and even the Nascent Soul stage, which caused the world to collapse and the nine provinces to crumble.

This was the great chaos of the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was finally quelled at the cost of the sacrifice of Fangji Zhenjun, who held the position of Gentu.

Therefore, the purge of this lineage was the most ruthless afterward. Their grotto-heaven was destroyed, their magical treasures were confiscated, and the direct descendants of the emperor were driven into the northern sea, their cultivation was sealed, and they were drowned.

Most of the lands of today have been incorporated into the rule of Dali, and Shengle, the original capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, has been passed between the Northern Liao and Dali. At that time, no one from the Tuoba clan had ever seen it!
"Zangjin" is a treasury for storing spiritual treasures, but Hongxia is known for its skill in knocking down, unlocking, and breaking restrictions. When the two met, he naturally suffered a great loss.

Tuoba Cai also possessed three supernatural powers, yet at this moment, he was suppressing Ru Su so much that he could hardly lift his head. The opponent's Daoist techniques were extremely rare even in Dali, and he was definitely a Daoist successor at the Golden Core level.

Tuoba Cai looked relaxed and at ease. With a casual wave of his hand, he unleashed a burst of five-colored light, which dimmed the golden man's radiance.

"【Five-Colored Divine Light】, something from the peacock."

Ru Su's massive golden body trembled once more, and the crack in his chest began to widen uncontrollably. Fire erupted, red crows raged, and the gap left by an ancient great cultivator of fire expanded again.

"It's a pity that your golden figure has flaws and your treasury has gaps. Although your power is formidable, it cannot withstand my radiant light."

Tuoba Cai's eyes shone with colorful light, and from behind him gradually a rainbow appeared, creating an atmosphere of disharmony between yin and yang. Rainbows fell from the sky, and hens crowed at dawn, eventually evolving into an endless chaotic energy.

【The world knows everything】.

A rainbow pierced the sky, reaching the very edge of the world; officials and traitors were cruel and ruthless, and brutal laws were used to slaughter everyone.

The country suffers many calamities, the emperor dies, ministers cause trouble, and generals are killed.

This supernatural power is an upgraded version of the [Heavenly Rainbow], even more ancient, and is also a method of the Rainbow Cloud Immortal Path, formed by the disharmony of Yin and Yang.

With only Shao Yin remaining in power, the power of this supernatural ability is so great that it is almost heaven-sent, making it difficult for the Hidden Gold Light to withstand.

At this moment, a murderous aura soared into the sky from the west, the light of gold pulsed, and the aura of a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator emanated from afar.

'We can't hold back anymore'

Ru Su seemed to have made up his mind, and the dark black heavy armor on the outside of the golden man gradually peeled off, revealing his original vermilion-gold body. On his chest was originally engraved a celestial bird holding a star in its beak, but it was cleaved open with a single blow, and the crimson fire covered it, transforming into a divine crow that kept pecking at it.

"Approaching Shaoyang."

Ru Su's voice rang out, and a sudden change occurred.

A faint ray of sunlight emerged from the damaged chest of the golden man; it was a talisman, golden-white in color, covered with patterns, and radiating a hazy, apricot-yellow light.

The golden-yellow hue of the gold was melted and dripped away, the autumnal yin energy surging and merging into it, beginning to be absorbed under the control of the lesser yang. The fire wound that had originally struck the golden figure's chest was also drawn into it. The sunlight rose again from the golden figure, and this [Wangfeng Tianli Golden Figure] was instantly restored. Then, Ru Su shouted:
"To govern both inside and out."

Crimson fire suddenly burst forth from the golden man's body, transforming into hundreds of divine crows that pecked at him, while endless heavenly light and furnace fire engulfed Tuoba Cai's figure.

Boom!

This attack instantly pierced through the land to the east of the White Ravine, causing mountains to collapse and the earth to split, the sky to surge, and the furnace to blaze. The area within a hundred miles was burned to ashes, and the Water Transformation Array in the eastern part of the White Ravine collapsed one after another, revealing the scene inside the valley.

The surface of the [Wangfeng Tianli Jinren] began to crumble inch by inch, becoming increasingly difficult to control. It shrank continuously until it was reduced to the size of an inch, and was taken in by a golden-armored deity.

The soft, white light of the Earth element drifted away, and a painting appeared in the sky at some unknown time. Inside was the figure of Tuoba Cai. As the light changed, the woman jumped out of the painting, her body already burned in many places by the Fire element.

“If it were the living Prince Bingyang, I would surely perish with a single blow. But you are using the remaining killing move from this golden statue to deal with me. You are underestimating the Tuoba clan.”

Tuoba Cai spoke in a low, melancholy tone, and suddenly pointed her five-colored feather sword forward. A vast radiant light surged out from beside her, obscuring the sunlight and disturbing the wind and clouds.

【Looking at Taixia】

The white mist within the golden armor paused slightly. Ru Su sensed something behind him and saw rolling flames surging from the sky. The giant axe cleaved down, annihilating all the dark spirits that had emerged from the earth.

The girl in the blood-red dress fled in a sorry state and returned to Tuoba Cai's side. Her murderous aura had been reduced to almost nothing, and the pair of curved blades in her hands were curled up from the heat.

It was precisely because of the "murderous sins" that she went to resist Nalan Mountain, but she was no match for him and was constantly suppressed and beaten.

Another person emerged from behind King Lanshan, holding a formation flag, drawing the surging flames towards him. In just a moment, the [Blazing Flame Formation] had expanded to this point, blocking the path to the east.

"Arashiyama?"

Tuoba Caixiu's eyebrows furrowed, and her delicate nose twitched slightly. The arrival of the Prince of Dali before her brought her considerable pressure.

"Tie Sui, what are you dawdling for!"

Arms formed from hundreds of condensed water lifted up a man in an iron-gray royal robe. He was covered in wounds, scorched by the sun, crackling with lightning, and slashed by sword intent.

Behind him lay a gigantic toad corpse, its chest cavity ripped open and empty.

The entire toad corpse floated in the transformed water, black flames surged, and evil spirits rose into the sky. It was clearly the corpse left behind by a demon from the Purple Mansion. Judging from its aura, it was probably at the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm when it was alive.

"【Snipper toad】?"

Arashiyama recognized the origin of this thing, and his heart sank slightly. He swung his Li Axe, intending to interrupt the other party's actions, but the surging hazy light blocked the Li Fire.

As the liquid on the demon's corpse dissipated, a terrifying aura of intense fire surged forth, connecting heaven and earth, as if it were about to transform into the Dao.

Purple mist descended, swirling and swirling, revealing a man in deep purple robes. He had gentle features and a refined air. In his hands, he held a white jade plate that gleamed with cold light, containing a still-beating dark demon heart.

"Your Majesty, please."

Jingxing, in a low, melancholy tone, handed over the demon heart.

Tie Sui then split open his lips to an unbelievable degree and swallowed the dark demon heart in one gulp.

The black toad behind him opened its eyes, its red pupils shining brightly. Then, it opened its big mouth and swallowed Tie Sui back down. A series of deep, sinister lights and iron-gray clouds emanated from its body.

"Today, no one can cross the White Ravine!"

Tie Sui's voice came from the toad, no longer displaying his usual restraint and composure, but instead carrying a deep sense of violence and anger.

'The corpse puppet, indeed! With the return of that Golden Crow, its murderous aura is at its peak; this method can finally be used!'

Arashiyama's gaze darkened, and the axe in his hand shone brighter. The apricot-yellow flames radiated immense heat, clashing with the black flames. At this moment, however, he looked towards the west with some concern.

'I wonder how things are in Nanwang? He and Bijie cannot die. If one of them has to die, only Wei Shuang would be able to accept it.'
