Chapter 160, Page 159: [Twenty-Eight Secret Treasures of Jambudvipa Acquired]

boom! boom! boom!
Streaks of starlight streaked across the sky, striking the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) and shattering it, causing the heavy weapon to tremble violently.

However, these continuous attacks, which could severely injure a fourth-level cultivator with a single blow, could not break the tough staff body forged from a combination of Nine-Turn Iron and Yang Spirit Divine Iron.

The Great Xia capital, with a population of over two million, was destined to face the "Sea-Stabilizing Pillar," now magnified to two or three zhang in diameter, hundreds of zhang in height, and weighing over a hundred million jin.

Even more terrifying is that its weight of hundreds of millions of kilograms, after being accelerated by gravity, will be transformed into a terrifying impact force several times greater than that.

It is conceivable that if this stick were to hit the capital, it would cause a catastrophe that would destroy the city and the country.

Faced with such an offensive, the cultivators were the first to panic in the city. They flew up, dragging streaks of light, trying to escape outside the city, but were blocked by the five-layered city-protecting formation.

In desperation, some people even began attacking their own formation.

Although the ordinary people in the city were still confused about the situation, they began to flee outwards under the influence of the cultivators.

Looking around, the whole city was filled with the chaos of an impending apocalypse.

But under the rapidly descending Dinghai Shenzhen staff, all attempts to cope seemed powerless and laughable.

All they could do was scream in despair and watch it fall.

Like a meteorite falling to earth, it struck the protective barrier that enveloped the capital.

Boom!
Like cracking a thin eggshell, the five layers of golden shield shattered instantly. Perhaps because it shattered so quickly, the sound of the shield breaking seemed to be only one.

The five city walls that served as the carriers of the formation also cracked and collapsed in an instant.

Just when everyone in the city thought they were going to die under the blows.

Just before the magic needle slammed into the palace, it suddenly shrank from the size of a mountain to its normal size and flew back into Chen Sheng's hand.

Chen Sheng grasped the Yanfu Treasure, retrieving the remaining magical power he had poured into it, and also storing the several portions of Qi and Sha he had obtained from knocking down the cultivation level of the Xingdao cultivator into his spiritual platform. He then floated in the air and looked down at the city below.

There are still more than two million ordinary people living in the capital. He is not a heartless and madman who destroys the world. He was just breaking the formation. He did not intend to slaughter the entire city.

After arriving in the capital, Chen Sheng discovered something interesting:

That is, the human race in the main world does not seem to have given birth to anything like dragon energy. The emperor's reliance on the power of life and death over the world is entirely based on the seven secret treasures of Jambudvipa in the country.

Then, his gaze fell upon a palace within the imperial palace, piercing through the roof ridge, and he spoke calmly.

"Xuan Ye, come out and face your death. As long as you hand over control of the Vermilion Bird Constellation and obediently surrender your head, I can spare the life of the Xia royal family."

Only a cold laugh echoed from within the palace.

"To choose to hold back simply because you care about the lives of ordinary people in the city is truly a woman's kindness."

Those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles; you'll soon regret your actions.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge array plate that had been spinning rapidly beneath the emperor's feet came to a stop.

However, with the assistance of several officials from the Imperial Observatory, the emperor finally managed to adjust the array plate used to control the secret treasure of Jambudvipa into a different attack mode.

An invisible wave spread rapidly outwards from the array plate in all directions.

In an instant, the six Jambudvipa treasures located thousands of miles away in various states of the Great Xia Dynasty trembled simultaneously, their starlight shining brightly.

The starlight rushed back into the sky along the star pillars connected to them, causing a new change in the constellations above the Great Xia territory.

Clang!
With a clear phoenix cry, the star projected onto the membrane of this world by the true celestial constellations came to life, transforming into a single-winged Vermilion Bird.

The Vermilion Bird detached from the membrane of heaven and earth, trailing six pillars of light behind it, and flew towards the ground.

As it flew, its size decreased, but its ethereal form became more and more condensed.

By the time it descended to a height of a thousand feet, it had shrunk to a bird with a wingspan of several tens of feet, its entire body burning with fiery red flames, radiating dazzling light, and charging directly down at Chen Sheng with a clear objective.

Like a swift meteor streaking across the sky, it seized Chen Sheng's body with its sharp claws, made a beautiful turn in the air, flapped its wings, and soared back into the high sky.

The actions of Zhuque reveal that while the emperor spoke of Chen Sheng's womanly compassion, he also did not want the capital to become a battlefield.

High in the heavens, the battle between Zhuque and Chen Sheng had only just begun.

hum-

A black and red demonic light burst forth from the Vermilion Bird's claws and landed on its flame-formed body.

Instead of being absorbed into the Netherworld Blood Gourd, it was burned into tiny fragments of spiritual light by the crimson starlight.

After being attacked, the Vermilion Bird immediately pecked at the bird's claws in anger, but Chen Sheng blocked the attacking beak with his two small hands.

In an instant, he unleashed the fourth-tier [Size and Size at Will], transforming into a giant thirty feet tall and forcibly breaking free from the blazing bird's claws.

Then, Chen Sheng seized the opportunity to use a rear naked choke, grabbing Zhuque by the neck and imprisoning it.

Clang!
The Vermilion Bird cried out in agony, its entire body ablaze with starlight, trying to burn Chen Sheng to death, but instead making its golden body within the flames shine even brighter.

Throughout this battle, Chen Sheng's goal was to seize the Yanfu Treasure of the Great Xia Kingdom and avenge his family in this world.

The Vermilion Bird summoned by the emperor gave him an opportunity to achieve his first goal.

The two intertwined figures flew wildly in the high sky. Golden Buddhist fire quickly ignited outside Chen Sheng's indestructible golden body, invading the flame-shaped Vermilion Bird and dyeing it into a golden-red phoenix.

Then, it followed the six beams of starlight trailing behind the Vermilion Bird's wings and went back up, merging into the star projection on the membrane of heaven and earth.

The pervasive influence continued unabated. Soon, the Buddhist fire spread down from another beam of light projected from the star projection, landing on the other six Jambudvipa treasures thousands of miles away. It enlightened the spirits of the artifacts with Buddhist teachings, igniting a surging golden flame.

He secretly used Buddhist fire to condense an imprint within the secret treasures of Jambudvipa, attempting to control the spirits of the six artifacts and seize their ownership.

Chen Sheng's true fighting prowess, along with the dramatic turn of events in the sky, caused the emperor on the ground to change his expression drastically.

He raised his hand to remove the cumbersome twelve-tassel crown and looked up at the sky in disbelief.

"How is this possible? He didn't even use any magic artifacts, yet he still managed to gain a slight advantage when fighting the Vermilion Bird. Could he be a fifth-level cultivator?"
That shouldn't be the case. This person clearly claims to be a remnant of the Crown Prince's faction, so how could he have acquired such cultivation in just a few years?
You must know that since ancient times, our world has never produced a fifth-order cultivator. This person must have a serious problem.

Could it be that he possessed a person from this world during this round of extraterrestrial demon descent, and was born as a great demon?
If that's the case, I can simply ask the other three kingdoms for help.

More than three years ago, when the demons from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner first descended into this realm, it alerted the four kingdoms of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, who began to actively clean up those evil spirits who were committing wicked deeds.

However, at that time, the four kingdoms did not regard the extraterrestrial demons as a major threat.

It wasn't until the Great Spring Kingdom suffered a massive blood sacrifice at the hands of extraterrestrial demons, resulting in heavy losses, that the four kingdoms began to feel a sense of crisis. From then on, the four kingdoms made a pact that if any of them encountered an insurmountable extraterrestrial invasion crisis, they would join forces to fight back, forming the Twenty-Eight Constellations Formation to protect the safety of the fruit.

To prevent the demons from successfully performing a blood sacrifice and opening a portal to the outside world.

Even though the four nations had their own disagreements, they were still able to manage to advance and retreat together when faced with the invasion of the extraterrestrial demons.

Seeing the Buddhist fire on the Jambudvipa treasure growing ever brighter, the emperor had no time to think further.

He took out a jade bead of excellent quality from his personal storage artifact, recorded all the information he had encountered into it, and then crushed the jade bead into powder.

Invisible electromagnetic waves shot out from the broken jade bead, crossed the long sea, and reached the other three distant landmasses.

It didn't take long at all; the earth-shattering power of this formation had already alerted the other three kingdoms.

In just a short while, those who were well-prepared began to raise their own Jambudvipa treasures one after another.

Horned Wood Dragon, Neck Golden Dragon...

Kui Mulang, Lou Jingou...

Doumu Xie, Niu Jin Niu...

One by one, star clusters lit up, summoning brilliant starlight from the sky to connect with the secret treasure.

Perhaps because the stars were shining too brightly at that moment, the sun in the membrane of heaven and earth suddenly disappeared, and the glittering twenty-seven constellations were as dazzling as if they were hanging on a black curtain.

The three divine beasts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise—located in the eastern, western, and northern celestial domains, also came to life one after another, breaking free from the membrane of heaven and earth and rushing wildly towards the Great Xia.

The physical forms of these Jambudvipa treasures are still restricted by geographical boundaries and cannot leave the continent where they are located, but their power can be projected onto the land of Great Xia through the stars.

During their flight, the three divine beasts also became smaller and smaller, and their bodies became more and more condensed.

Looking at the divine beasts not far from him, who were engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Vermilion Bird, Chen Sheng suddenly turned his head and said to them with considerable regret.

"You were quick, but you were still a step too late."

Before he could finish speaking, Suzaku, who was being strangled, stopped struggling.

At the same time, the golden carrying pole, which was originally hidden deep in the earth's lungs, also rose into the air and connected to its own pillar of stars, helping the one-winged Vermilion Bird to complete its incomplete form.

boom!
On the ground, a surge of starfire suddenly erupted from the array plate controlling the spirits of the Vermilion Bird Seven Weapons, severely injuring the unsuspecting Emperor of Great Xia.

When he finally escaped the inferno, he discovered that the palace was surrounded by a massive array created by the five ghosts: Ox-Head, Horse-Face, Judge, and Black and White Impermanence, who summoned ghostly energy to engulf him.

For Chen Sheng, the battle on the ground was just a minor episode.

Having completely subdued the spirits of the seven Yamafu treasures, he controlled the Vermilion Bird, which had just been his enemy, to flap its wings and float behind him, as if he had a beautiful spirit behind him.

Chen Sheng calmly turned around and looked at the three divine beasts that had just arrived at the battlefield.

He could sense the astonishment and fear of the person controlling them from the eyes of these three divine beast shadows.

They were shocked by the rapid change of ownership of the Jambudvipa treasure and terrified by the downfall of the Great Xia emperor.

Therefore, Chen Sheng tentatively tried to persuade him to surrender.

"I have some personal grudges against Xuan Ye, which is why I went to such lengths to kill him."

But you are different from him. We have no enmity or grudge between us, and we can end this battle in a more dignified way.

"If you hand over control of the Yanfu Treasure, I can spare your lives and that of the royal family."

"The extraterrestrial demons are known for their treachery and cunning. They actually dare to try to deceive us with clever words and make us watch the formation."

The three beasts, dragon, tiger, and tortoise, exchanged a glance, and the starlight on their bodies suddenly intertwined and spread rapidly outwards, transforming in the blink of an eye into a three-colored cage barrier with a diameter of more than ten miles.

With the three beasts pushing against each other, the barrier began to shrink rapidly inward, seemingly about to crush him to death.

"What extraterrestrial demon? I am a native of this fruit."

Chen Sheng felt that they might have misunderstood something, but the strong have no obligation to explain misunderstandings to the weak.

He simply shot a few bolts of lightning at the surrounding barrier, watching the lightning collide with the barrier and disintegrate into pure spiritual energy. He then tried to activate [Thousand-Spoke Wheel Phase], only to find that his teleportation ability was blocked.

After considering the moves of his future weapon, he nodded.

"Hmm, not bad. If the four elements work together, they might indeed be able to trap me."

"What a pity, you're a step too late."

After that, Chen Sheng remained suspended in place, motionless, as the shrinking barrier eventually imprisoned him.

The Vermilion Bird behind him was tormented by the barrier that could shatter spiritual energy, but Chen Sheng's indestructible golden body remained completely unharmed despite being confined by the barrier.

He looked at the three divine beasts that were very close to him outside the barrier, flipped his palm, and pressed it downwards.

In the perception of the three emperors who controlled the three beasts, the world immediately underwent a tremendous change, and they fell into a Five Finger Mountain from which they could never escape.

Within Wuzhi Mountain, the Buddha's light shines everywhere, and monks are preaching and expounding the Dharma.

"This is the law of birth and death, and it will eventually come to an end; when conditions are met, it arises again, and when conditions disperse, it ceases... Taking control of the mind is the precept, from the precept arises concentration, from concentration arises the light of wisdom, and the three trainings of non-outflows lead to the attainment of Buddhahood..."

Buddhist words blessed by the [profound and far-reaching image of Sanskrit] are extremely seductive.

The Buddhist fire on Chen Sheng's body quickly burned through the barrier, ignited the bodies of the three divine beasts, and gradually corrupted the remaining Yama treasures in the same way as before.

It is unknown how much time passed before Chen Sheng finally mastered all twenty-eight pieces of the Jambudvipa Treasures.

Suddenly, through this set of weapons, he felt a profound connection between his will and the earth, his people, and the stars.

Although there is no dragon energy in this world, the Jambudvipa treasure replaces dragon energy to connect the three realms of heaven, earth, and man, communicates the human way and the heavenly way, and even vaguely senses the existence of the Jambudvipa fruit core in this world.

"In this way, this world is now entirely in my hands."

Immersed in this novel experience, Chen Sheng looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly piercing through the hundreds of miles-thick membrane between heaven and earth, and saw Fufengzi beyond the world.

"Next, all we need to do is eliminate you, and the main world will have no more worries."
