Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 406 The Heavenly Eye Opens, Old Friends Change

"So fast!"

Seeing how quickly Chu Tianshu arrived, Zhang Tongxuan's expression changed slightly.

However, since he attained the Dao realm, his Qimen formations have encompassed all directions.

Wherever people go, the formation moves with them.

The air wisps are only part of the formation; the real key lies in the invisible energy field that constantly flows within the environment.

This aura is not like that of ordinary martial artists who pursue communion with heaven and earth and immerse themselves in the environment.

On the contrary, there are controllable deviations in every factor and detail of the environment.

It is precisely because of this deviation that the entire energy field, when it operates, interacts with the natural changes in the environment in a way that is like interlocking canine teeth, like iron teeth biting together, with each link interlocking and mutually promoting each other's fortune.

Compared to the vague communion between heaven and man, it has more autonomy and is more complex and subtle in its changes.

At this moment, they faced Chu Tianshu's attack.

It seemed as if Zhang Tongxuan didn't even need to think about a specific response; amidst the changing Qimen formation, he suddenly blocked Chu Tianshu's palm with a palm strike.

The Taoist's palm was as clean as jade, with fair and smooth skin and slightly long nails. A tiny bright spot in the palm turned into a dazzling crystal ball the size of a palm in a flash.

This crystal sphere is composed of green and white.

Both colors appear pure and flawless, clear and captivating, harmonizing with each other like a yin-yang symbol.

However, the surface of the crystal sphere has countless facets and edges.

As their palms were about to collide, the crystal ball was naturally squeezed in the middle, and with a hiss, it suddenly vaporized and disappeared.

A powerful shockwave surged continuously into the sky.

The clouds and mist halfway up the mountain were blown into turbulent swirls, gradually forming a large hole.

When the two palms actually collided, only a slight sound was produced.

collapse! !

Chu Tianshu's incredibly hot palm strike was almost completely neutralized.

On the contrary, his right hand, from the palm to the back of the hand, was covered with a layer of white frost.

Zhang Tongxuan's move did not gather the Qi of Tian Ding and Tian Jia, but rather the Qi of Tian Ji and Tian Ren.

These two gases, stirred by the demonic true energy, condense into crystals. Once a powerful external explosive force approaches, they will become unbalanced and rapidly absorb heat.

This method was originally found in the art of weapon crafting and was used to prevent the explosion of some dangerous semi-finished products.

To bring the two gases together would normally require the preparation of a large number of materials and a number of complex steps, but the demonic true energy is extremely adept at entrusting itself to external objects and stirring up changes.

After Zhang Tongxuan understood the principles behind these gas changes, he was able to directly replace most of the steps with the techniques of demonic cultivation methods.

The "Tai Xu Qi Men Bian Qi Fa" was originally a practice method compiled by Taoist sages based on fragmentary records of ancient Taoist attainments, combined with their own speculations and creative ideas.

The creative ideas and concepts are extremely lofty, but the specific steps and details are impossible to fill in.

It wasn't until after the moon's anomaly that the three lineages of treasure refining appeared, and Zhang Tongxuan achieved enlightenment and comprehended the stone slab.

Only then did they transform the secrets of weapon crafting on the stone slab into this technique, adding specific and feasible details.

Chu Tianshu's palm strike was easily neutralized.

Zhang Tongxuan then bent his five fingers in response.

A huge crystal sphere seemed to envelop Chu Tianshu entirely.

The color scheme and the countless facets and edges of this crystal sphere are exactly the same as the small crystal sphere from before.

Once the spherical shell is completely closed, one can imagine that an endless supply of Heavenly Qi and Heavenly Ren Qi will liquefy and fill it.

This allows any movement or heat from Chu Tianshu to be absorbed and neutralized.

However, as soon as the spherical shell appeared, Chu Tianshu's figure suddenly exploded.

A large hole appeared above the sphere, and Chu Tianshu's new figure appeared more than 20 feet in the air.

The broken Zen body can move forward, backward, downward, or upward.

In the ten directions of the world, the sound of cicadas can be heard everywhere.

"He's going to attack the tower!!"

In an instant, Zhang Tongxuan knew what he was going to do.

The Taoist's figure flickered.

It seems like it's trying to catch up at full speed right away, but in reality, after gaining an extra centimeter, it falls back to its original position.

Sure enough, at the very moment the Taoist's figure flickered...

Chu Tianshu, who appeared to be flying at full speed high in the sky, suddenly looked down and his right hand was already touching the hilt of his sword.

If Zhang Tongxuan really followed, he would be caught off guard and face Chu Tianshu's Phoenix Rebirth Sword.

At this moment, Zhang Tongxuan did not actually follow.

Chu Tianshu's sword strike was about to erupt.

The two were more than twenty feet apart, one above the other, and had a fleeting, extremely brief eye contact.

The emotion was present in both of their eyes, but there wasn't enough time to express any feelings.

There was no fighting spirit to win, nor the joy of a successful scheme.

Both of their eyes were clear and bright, like a mirror, with distinct black and white.

The difference is that Zhang Tongxuan has an additional vertical crack on his forehead.

The third eye is about to open.

A bright light suddenly appeared high in the sky!

Chu Tianshu's sword was suddenly drawn, but he did not unleash the Phoenix Rebirth Sword technique, which involves "from body to mind, from technique to spirit, and the soul leaving the body."

His pent-up energy, which was so strong it had to burst forth, was transformed into the Thirteen Deadly Swords, which he unleashed and blasted towards the mountain wall.

Bang! Rumble! ...

Chu Tianshu, sword in hand, led his men and charged into the mountainside.

The sword light advanced, crisscrossing and flashing, and in the blink of an eye, countless swords pulverized stones.

He was like a monstrous dragon with sword light as its sharp horns, which, after entering the mountain's belly, rushed towards the summit.

"That eye on the forehead of that bull-nose guy is definitely suspicious!"

As Chu Tianshu wielded his sword wildly within the mountain, his figure flashing past, he did not forget the feeling he had just experienced.

If his soul leaves his body, he will inevitably face fatal danger.

Even if the "Phoenix Rebirth Sword" can be unleashed.

Most likely, the two of them died together on the spot.

Zhang Tongxuan, standing at the foot of the mountain, had his beard swell up and flutter, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and then rapidly rose up to catch up with the entrance to the newly carved mountain passage.

In fact, the Taoist was confident that if he had really fought back, with his "Great Void Heavenly Eye" having extreme restraint over the souls of outsiders, he would most likely have been able to retain a sliver of life.

But if he were seriously injured to that extent, the burden of the Taixu Heavenly Eye alone would probably be enough to cause him to lose his mind and turn into a demon.

They both breathed a sigh of relief that they hadn't been forced to fight under those circumstances.

Although the person was at the cave entrance, Zhang Tongxuan did not rush in.

After a flash of thought, he flew directly to the mountaintop outside, opened his third eye halfway, and made hand seals, which changed continuously.

Following the enemy into the tunnel they had dug would be extremely dangerous.

If they don't go in, the essence and spirit of Chu Tianshu's sword technique will already disrupt the various energies within the mountain.

It makes it impossible for anyone to predict from which part of the mountaintop he will appear based on their senses.

Even the Heavenly Eye of the Void is not adept at this kind of observation.

At this moment, Zhang Tongxuan used his magic to transmit the power of his Heavenly Eye from heart to heart to all his disciples on the main peak.

Those who are able to reside on the main peak are all experts.

The cultivation techniques they practiced were inherited from Zhang Tongxuan.

Men, women, young and old, more than two hundred Taoist priests sprang into action in an instant.

The sixteen Taoist priests guarding the Communication Well all twitched their eyelids.

Rings of green light emanated from their pupils, disappearing at the edge of their eyes only to reappear.

The power of their divine eye caused their malevolent energy to surge, and their demonic potential to ignite.

Sixteen people jumped into the well on the spot.

The Huangshan Patriarch was imprisoned at the bottom of the well, his injuries still severe, and he could hardly move. Looking up, he saw two Taoist priests landing beside him.

Under the influence of the two Taoist priests, the chains suddenly started moving, rattling loudly.

The figure of the Huangshan Patriarch was suspended in mid-air, and then he was wrapped up by those chains, as if he were wrapped into a cocoon.

He had already left the bottom of the well and was now in a higher position than the two Taoist priests.

Two Taoist priests were at the bottom of the well, cautiously observing their surroundings.

The Huangshan Patriarch looked towards the well again, and more Taoist priests gathered around it. Presumably, all eight deep wells were in the same situation now.

Although the Taixu Well is made of special materials and was constructed from stone slabs, it was further reinforced by the numerous demonic and witchcraft talismans inscribed on it.

But this can only control people who have already been captured, have pressure points applied, or are locked up.

If Chu Tianshu were to break through from these places, given the hardness of the well bottom, he would be lucky to withstand even two or three breaths.

Besides, many Taoist priests gathered at the deep well.

A large number of Taoist priests also gathered around the iron tower.

Sixty-four Taoist priests were positioned around the first level of the tower, all of them gathering their power at the base of the tower.

Dozens of other Taoist priests, holding various ritual implements, waited in the outer circle.

Beyond the first level of the tower, the upper levels continued to slowly rotate, emitting divine light and restraining Xiao Liang.

The Taoist priests of the Tongxuan School could all feel a slight tremor under their feet.

The terrifying enemy moving at high speed through the mountain seemed capable of appearing near any one of them.

These people, too, were not without fear.

But their obedience and awe towards Zhang Tongxuan were already ingrained in their very bones.

Unless one is truly on the verge of death, it is extremely difficult to muster the courage to disobey orders.

The Mysterious Sect, the Mysterious Sect, harbors ambitions to replace the entire Mysterious Sect, which is currently competing with all other sects.

But so far, it is ultimately a sect controlled by Zhang Tongxuan.

"Since our master has issued the decree, what do we have to fear from the Mad Demon?!"

One person roared, which caused the crowd to howl.

The Taoist priests were of one mind and devoted themselves to channeling their inner energy.

The auras of more than two hundred experts rose simultaneously, almost like a giant lingzhi mushroom slowly rising from the entire peak.

The strongholds of the world's major powers should not be underestimated.

Qingsheng Temple was capable of assembling such a lineup. Although it couldn't rely on the temple's experts to forcefully stop Chu Tianshu and Xiao Liang, it was enough to create some obstacles and exploit any openings.

However, Monk Qingsheng was too greedy and, thinking he had succeeded in his plan, he sent all the temple's experts out to different places.

At this moment, Zhang Tongxuan did not make such a mistake.

He had already reached the mountaintop, floated into the sky, and the first thing he looked at was the direction of the eight deep wells.

Just as he looked at the eight wells.

Southeast of the Iron Pagoda, in the Alchemy Hall.

Suddenly, fine glints flashed on the thick bricks of the terrazzo floor.

The silvery-white sword light, swirling like silk, flashed and slashed, and when the ground was pierced open, not a sound was heard.

Chu Tianshu has already broken through the soil.

In the center of the alchemy hall, there is a large alchemy furnace weighing over ten thousand kilograms.

The four walls of the main hall were all made into medicine cabinets, filled with various treasure bottles and gourds, containing pills and powders.

These are all pills that are not yet fully completed, so they are placed here to be nurtured day by day by the energy of the furnace.

When the experts from the Pill Hall left, an old Taoist priest with a purplish-red face remained behind.

Upon seeing Chu Tianshu appear, his expression changed drastically, and he spat out a mouthful of pill fire.

The purplish-red flames expanded rapidly outwards.

There were also golden specks mixed in, moving as fast as stars. Their trajectories seemed scattered and erratic, but in reality, they were all aimed at Chu Tianshu.

It was a kind of gold dust that had been transformed with a magical elixir.

Within this single burst of elixir fire, there was surprisingly a considerable amount of the essence of Lu Yuande's Purple Mansion Sect's secret techniques.

It seems that after the destruction of the Purple Mansion Sect, the secret manuals and elixirs looted from them also brought considerable benefits to the people in the Pill Hall.

However, as soon as he exhaled the fire, the old Taoist priest with the purplish-red face suddenly felt a chill followed by a heat, and his heart was filled with sorrow.

A crescent-shaped blade of energy had risen close to the ground and suddenly pierced through his body.

The blade energy shot upwards, leaping hundreds of feet.

Just as a blue light was about to illuminate one of the eaves of the seventh floor of the Taixu Pagoda, it was struck by the blade energy with a "bang".

The eaves cracked, and blue flames spilled out, flickering and dancing like whip threads all around.

Chu Tianshu did not appear directly at the pagoda, but instead appeared at this location.

It is precisely by relying on the Heavenly Heart Sorrowful Demon Slash that one can transform one's thoughts into killing power, maintaining a powerful offensive capability for a considerable distance.

"I never imagined that one day I would have to use a knife to dismantle a rocket."

A thought flashed through Chu Tianshu's mind, as if he were recalling the feeling of reading an encyclopedia as a child, which introduced the American moon landing and the rapid pace of China's catch-up.

He used this sentiment of remembrance to strike.

The blade of remembrance, swift as a shadow.

In the blink of an eye, several more eaves on the iron tower cracked.

Zhang Tongxuan had already spotted the location. He suddenly turned his head and pounced, but still felt it was too slow, so he reached out and waved his hand in mid-air.

"Don't you dare damage my pagoda!!"

His mind seemed to be filled with grief and indignation, and six points of his mind erupted.

The six old Taoist priests closest to the alchemy hall suddenly trembled, and their souls flew out uncontrollably.

These six people were the elders of the Punishment Hall. When their souls flew out, they were still a little at a loss.

However, their souls moved faster than he expected, and they had already passed through the wall and entered the Pill Hall, surrounding and attacking Chu Tianshu.

This is... Chu Tianshu from Denglaishan Village?
I killed Chu Tianshu?!

The Grand Elder of the Punishment Hall was so frightened that his mind went blank, but he found that his perspective had become extremely clear.

If the clarity obtained by observing Chu Tianshu with his soul was only "one", then...

So now, it's constantly doubling.

Moreover, a buzzing sensation arose from within his soul.

Chu Tianshu clearly saw the whole process.

As soon as these blue-faced old Taoist priests entered, their pupils began to split rapidly, filling their eye sockets and almost turning into the compound eyes of insects.

Within the translucent soul, countless tiny dots can be seen, hatching, fluttering wings, and raising their mouthparts.

Within the Tongxuan Sect, the Xingtang branch specializes in Gu poison techniques.

These elders themselves had not yet cultivated to the point where they could transform their own souls into Gu worms.

Now, under the forceful control of the Heavenly Eye of the Void, this potential has been unleashed.

What would it feel like to watch tens of thousands of insects hatch right before your eyes, inside the soul of another human being?
Horrifying! Disgusting!
Chu Tianshu's pupils constricted sharply, and he roared.

A blade of light, like a thunderclap, shot upwards and struck the roof of the palace.

Then it split into branches and countless silver-white blade shadows, scattering outwards.

Not a single Gu worm could escape Chu Tianshu's blade.

The entire alchemy hall was shining brightly.

At this moment, Zhang Tongxuan had already arrived above the alchemy hall, a fleeting look of regret crossing his face.

"My elders and deacons, I will build tombs for you, so that future generations of disciples will not forget your incense offerings!"

The Heavenly Eye on his forehead opened completely.

It's no longer about conveying ideas and leveraging strength, but about forcibly catalyzing.

On the main peak, more than two hundred Taoist priests felt a violent tremor in their hearts, and their souls somehow left their bodies.

At this point, some people finally revealed an expression of extreme terror.

"Impossible, we haven't practiced any demonic arts!"

"We are not from the demonic path, so why can the sect leader control us so easily?"

"Hahaha, you fools, you should have followed Master from the beginning and cultivated the Primal Heart Transmission..."

"Exactly! For someone of my lineage, this powerful control of the Heavenly Eye is a wonderful thing. It might even allow me to survive and return to my physical body!"

More than two hundred souls, whether terrified or laughing wildly, all took flight.

Chu Tianshu looked up from inside the hall and heard what sounded like a storm raging outside, with thunder and lightning.

In the early morning, the clouds should be gradually turning white and the sunlight should be getting brighter.

The entire main peak area of ​​the Tongxuan Sect was dimly lit, and there seemed to be wind and clouds moving rapidly in the air.

The chilling aura pressed down relentlessly, striking down upon the great hall.
