Chapter 146, Section 145: [The Divine Incantation of the Big Dipper Derives the Four Seasons]

The seven stars landed on Chen Sheng's back and immediately seemed to take root, transforming into a shimmering Big Dipper constellation.

Using the star map as a base, rich starlight spread throughout his body, and nearly half of his golden Yin spirit was instantly dyed silver-white.

Weakness, poison, blindness, confusion, paralysis, aging, and fear—seven negative curse states were simultaneously inflicted upon Chen Sheng.

Under the influence of the curse, his vision suddenly went black, and he felt an unprecedented weakening and sluggishness.

Then, Wang Wenqing, who was in front of him, saw through his weakness and kicked him with his three-zhang-long foot.

clang!
A violent metallic explosion rang out, and Chen Sheng crashed into the mountainside like a cannonball, creating a deep hole.

Then Wang Wenqing stepped forward and lunged forward, his fists, as big as mountains, raining down like a storm, engulfing Chen Sheng's tiny figure.

In the brutal, hand-to-hand combat, the mountains crumbled and the earth cracked, causing the soil and rocks to collapse, carving out a deep, sloping tunnel down the mountainside.

Boom!
But at one moment, Wang Wenqing seemed to have been punched, and suddenly staggered back a few steps.

From the cracks in the rubble at the bottom of the cave, a fist radiating a rich golden light emerged.

With a whoosh, Chen Sheng rose from the pile of rubble.

At this moment, the soft golden light emanating from within the Yin spirit had dispelled most of the silver light on his body, and blue lotus flowers bloomed in his eyes, restoring his vision.

[Golden Body Appearance]: The body is pure gold, shining brightly. This light can dispel ignorance and darkness like Prajna wisdom, and subdue all evil and wickedness in the world.

[Dark blue eyes]: The eyes of wisdom can perceive the truth of the world and see through reality and illusion.

"After waiting for so long, I thought there was some secret weapon up his sleeve, but it turned out to be just a few mere curses."

The colors of gold and silver intertwined on Chen Sheng's body.

It's clear that even after being beaten for so long, his spirit was only slightly red and he wasn't injured at all.

However, it seemed that the [golden body] alone could not completely dispel the curse on his body. The star map on his back still continuously emitted silver light, playing a certain role.

Regarding the current situation, Chen Sheng smiled faintly.

"It's just a slight reduction in strength. You can reduce it, I can just add it back."

As he spoke, a stone demon king crown appeared above Chen Sheng's head.

The crown, capable of transforming influence into power, shone brightly with purple light, unleashing a surge of powerful demonic energy that empowered Chen Sheng.

In this way, the silver Seven Star Curse was completely suppressed back into the star map, and not a trace of it leaked out again.

Chen Sheng's momentum, which had been somewhat waning, became even stronger than at the beginning.

"Use whatever other tricks you have up your sleeve, or it will be too late."

The blessing of [the profound and far-reaching image of the Brahma] made Chen Sheng's roar like thunder, yet also like a gentle rain that soothes the heart.

He laughed wildly and transformed into a golden light, rushing towards Wang Wenqing. He punched one of the opponent's big toes, shattering the huge, lightning-streaked Yin spirit with a sound like breaking glass.

Then, taking advantage of Wang Wenqing's pain, he grabbed a toe with both arms and forcefully swung the thirty-foot-tall giant up.

In a state of awkwardness and incongruity due to the huge difference in their physical size, he swung the other person up and slammed them to the ground.

Rumble!
The earthquake caused the cave to collapse, burying everything below with massive amounts of soil and rocks.

Next, all that could be seen was the ground, littered with earth and rocks, shaking continuously, but the figures fighting underground could no longer be seen.

This left Liu Hunkang, who was flying outside the formation, completely dumbfounded.

Even Wang Wenqing, who was blessed by the Big Dipper Mantra, was at a disadvantage. This Buddhist disciple is too strong.

Seeing that the battle was going badly, he could only grit his teeth and take out a crystal formed from the power of incense offerings from his sleeve, put it into the formation below, and bow to the Big Dipper in the sky.

"Disciples from the lower realm respectfully request the divine power of the seven star lords to descend."

"Turn the handle! Turn! Turn!"

The sacrificial incense and faith rise along the pillars of starlight that connect heaven and earth, disappear into the stars, and then feed back even more stellar power.

With more power supplied, the illusory Big Dipper at the top of the formation also began to rotate, its handle sliding a quarter turn clockwise, pointing due east.

[Great Dipper Mantra]: When the handle of the Big Dipper points east, spring arrives throughout the land. Spring is the source of life. In this state, the Great Dipper Mantra can randomly bestow seven kinds of blessings upon friendly forces.

call--

Like a spring breeze sweeping across the land, the frost within the formation melted away in the blink of an eye, and tender grasses sprouted and wildflowers bloomed on the ground.

Seven beams of light shot out from the seven stars, disappeared into the earth, pierced through the thick soil and rocks, and landed on Wang Wenqing.

Deep underground, Wang Wenqing, who had been suppressed by Chen Sheng for a long time, was seriously injured. Not only was his Yin spirit covered with pitted wounds, but the lightning around him had also dimmed considerably, indicating that he was on the verge of collapse.

At that moment, he suddenly received seven blessings.

The moment the seven-star diagram was engraved on his back, and he was empowered by seven different forces—tenacity, energy recovery, healing, dragon power, acceleration, protection, and unyielding—his aura surged.

The wounds on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye; his already enormous size increased further, swelling into a behemoth fifty feet tall; the lightning on his body turned into viscous lightning paste, and a single drop could destroy large areas of nearby soil and rocks.

Even under the pressure of the heavy earth, Wang Wenqing was like a sharp, burrowing beast, grabbing Chen Sheng who was nimbly weaving through the soil and rocks as he attacked him.

After receiving the Seven Star Blessing, the Yin Spirit's strength increased, no longer the fragile figure that Chen Sheng could create with a single punch.

Now that Chen Sheng has been captured so suddenly, Wang Wenqing's hands have been severely deformed by the punches and kicks of the indestructible golden body.

But Wang Wenqing couldn't care less about that now. He seized the hard-won opportunity and grabbed Chen Sheng's body with both hands, bringing it to his mouth.

He controlled the plasma in his body to gather in his mouth, brewing a mouthful of crimson lightning, which he then spat out at Chen Sheng.

Boom!

A thick bolt of lightning pierced the ground at an angle and struck the protective shield of the Big Dipper Array.

At the moment of impact, the annihilation of the lightning caused ripples to appear on the shield, causing it to vibrate rapidly.

It was only because Liu Hunkang adjusted the transmission of star power that the great formation was not breached.

Fortunately, the bombardment of plasma only lasted for a moment in the air before dissipating, which truly relieved him.

Meanwhile, deep underground...

The lightning on Wang Wenqing's Yin Spirit was completely exhausted, but soon crackling lightning began to flash again, and it was rapidly recovering its power.

In his hands, Chen Sheng, who had fully endured the baptism of the thunderous liquid, had his Yin spirit turn from golden to pale red.

Chen Sheng looked at the giant in front of him, but instead of feeling angry about being trampled on, he laughed.

"This attack was quite powerful, but do you know? I am also someone protected by the stars."

As he spoke, the Purple Star in the night sky shone brightly.

A pale purple beam of light shot down, piercing through the dark clouds, the array, and the earth, before landing on Chen Sheng's crown. Then, it transformed into a pale purple domain that rapidly expanded outwards.

Purple Star Domain: A domain that covers an area of ​​several miles in radius. Within the domain, the caster's status will be greatly enhanced, those marked as allies will receive a slight boost, while others will suffer attribute weakening.

In the blink of an eye, the Ziwei Royal Domain merged with the Big Dipper Array.

Within the purple light, Wang Wenqing's height was compressed to forty zhang, while Chen Sheng's power was enhanced once again. His Yin God's entire body shone with golden light, and the reddish glow instantly faded.

He pushed his arms hard, creating a gap in Wang Wenqing's tightly clenched hands, and transformed into a golden light that shot out at lightning speed, punching the other man in the face.

As it created a small crater two feet deep, it also knocked the enormous head backward.

What followed was a relentless barrage of punches.

The golden fist transformed into a golden tidal wave, crashing down on Wang Wenqing's head from below. The powerful and sustained impact even managed to push aside the heavy soil and rocks above, forcefully pushing the forty-foot-tall giant upwards bit by bit.

During this process, Wang Wenqing did consider fighting back, but he was easily overwhelmed by Chen Sheng's Buddhist Fist and even had several fingers broken.

Rumble!
A moment later, a section of the ground within the Big Dipper array suddenly bulged up.

The next moment, the ground shattered, and a mangled giant's body burst from the earth, soaring into the sky before crashing heavily to the ground.

At this point, Wang Wenqing's head was completely gone, his arms were missing, and his chest was deeply sunken.

However, the spirit and the physical body are different after all, and there is no vital point, so he can continue to fight.

After returning to the ground, he actually struggled to get up and fought Chen Sheng again.

"Brother Dao has been suppressed again!"

"One minute I'm on top, the next you're on top of me, when will this battle ever end?"

Outside the formation, Liu Hunkang watched as Wang Wenqing fell into a disadvantageous position once again. He could only grit his teeth and take out another crystal of wish power from his sleeve, throwing it into the formation while chanting incantations.

"Big Dipper formation, keep spinning!"

buzzing.

The Big Dipper at the top of the array shone brightly, and after rotating a quarter of a circle, it pointed to the due south of the heavens and earth.

[Great Divine Incantation of the Big Dipper]: When the handle of the Big Dipper points south, the world is in summer, and the summer is prosperous. It condenses into seven phantom star lords with only the attack power of the fourth tier, to surround and attack the enemy.

call!
A scorching summer breeze swept across the land, instantly plunging the formation into the blazing heat of summer. Lush foliage sprouted from the trees, and the earth seemed to be covered with a green carpet.

Seven beams of starlight emanated from the Big Dipper, and the power of the stars condensed into seven faceless figures, each wielding a long sword, flying towards the battlefield.

Like seven peerless sword immortals, their swordsmanship was unpredictable and their sword moves were like heavenly horses galloping freely. They also formed a formation and slashed at Chen Sheng.

Faced with these sudden additions, Chen Sheng casually punched and destroyed three of them, but was also struck in the body by the remaining four.

With a few sharp "sizzles," the sword blade sliced ​​through the Yin God, leaving only four shallow red marks on his golden body.

As soon as he turned his head, the three phantoms that had been slain quickly re-formed in the Big Dipper above his head.

Seeing that these phantoms were unkillable and posed no immediate threat, Chen Sheng ignored them and continued his attack on Wang Wenqing.

Enduring the relentless attacks, it quickly pierced through the opponent's chest.

In the face of utter defeat and near-death despair, Wang Wenqing could no longer suppress his fear and roared to the sky.

"Old Liu, stop dawdling and use your last move."

Hearing his comrade's urging, Liu Hunkang had no choice but to take out a small sword from his pocket, throw it into the formation with a pained expression, and chant a spell.

"The Great Dipper Mantra, the handle points west, autumn comes to the world, the fourth turn, turn it around for me."

Under the imperial decree, the handle of the Big Dipper thundered and pointed to the due west of the heavens and earth.

The autumn wind howled.

The wind blew the vegetation in the great formation until it withered and died, killing all the life on earth.

The small sword that entered the formation also grew rapidly, completely overlapping with the Big Dipper at the top of the formation.

By the time the sword left that position, the Big Dipper had already been embedded in the sword.

Autumn is associated with death and death, and the stars are the source of heavenly killing intent. This is a longsword formed from the power of the stars, and the killing intent of heaven is contained within the sword.

bass!
The longsword rang out, falling straight down from the sky, aiming at Chen Sheng, who was extremely small to it.

In an instant, a strong sense of alarm arose in Chen Sheng's heart.

In this battle, he chose to give way for the first time, leaping to the side and pulling the magic needle from his ear.

As the giant sword fell in front of Wang Wenqing, the hilt merged with the Yin spirit that had lost its hands and was now only a bare wrist.

As Chen Sheng transformed the magic needle into the size of an ordinary weapon, he spoke.

"Starry Night Killing Sword? Is this your last trump card?"

Despite his headless, chest-ripped, and hand-severed body, Wang Wenqing's voice remained as majestic as thunder.

"We must admit that we underestimated you before."

But the stronger you are, the more it means that our decision to kill you was right. Now that the Sword of Stars has been drawn, we will surely kill you, you bald monk, right here today.

Even at the cost of our lives and the annihilation of our souls, we are willing to sacrifice our lives for the prosperity of the Daoist sect.

As he spoke, the lightning essence from his Yin spirit covered the sword, and the power of stars and thunder merged and intertwined into an inseparable whole.

As the raised sword fell, pointing at Chen Sheng, there was no earth-shattering sound; everything in the way of the two was swept away by the invisible blade.

The bleak autumn wind did not cut through him; the fallen leaves in the wind remained intact, and the flying dust was not disturbed, thus launching a sneak attack on Chen Sheng in a hidden way.

clang!
But with a crisp crack, the weapon that struck the path of the blade shattered the invisible edge.

after that.

Wang Wenqing silently charged forward, wielding a sword enveloped in dense lightning and drawing upon seven starlight beams from the sky, towards Chen Sheng, who was not far away.

Chen Sheng also poured most of his magical power into the Ruyi Jingu Bang, transforming it into a giant pillar that could support the sky. Despite his small stature, he held it and thrust it forward.

Ding--

The two weapons collided.

The Star Sword shattered instantly, and the Sea-Stabilizing Needle plunged straight in, smashing into Wang Wenqing's body and shattering the giant into countless streams of light.

The true attack of the Star Sword, at the moment of its breakage, transformed into an invisible sharp edge, piercing through Chen Sheng's indestructible golden body as well...
