Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 309 Possessing the body as a demon? We're going to fight the demon!
"Cult Master of Netherfire, you're next!"

With the Five Fire Venerables fallen and the Netherfire Cult Master having accomplished little, the eight old Taoists who set up the formation were greatly encouraged. With Gu Zhao presiding over the central palace and empowered by his profound magic, they were confident that they could save his life.

Thus, the positions of the Bagua formation shifted, and the eight gates changed.

Master Yansong's Taiyi Divine Wind, Master Yihong's Qi Body Unity, Master Mingyu's Five Directions Yang Thunder, Master Jingfeng's Fengdu Divine Prison, Master Yanling's Taiyi Divine Light, Master Shenhao's Flowing Golden Fire Bell, Master Yuzhang's Tianpeng Divine Mantra, Master Qingyuan's Black and White Taiji...

Each technique can be considered a classic of Taoism, and each can be cultivated to an extremely high level on its own, making them top-tier methods renowned far and wide. Now, they are combined into an array, forming the Eight Trigrams and Eight Gates, whose power is strong enough to trap the Netherfire Cult Master within it.

Not to mention that Gu Zhao was sitting in the central palace at this time, and his magic power was reinforcing the eight gates, making the Bagua Formation as stable as Mount Tai.

But at this moment, the Lord of the Netherfire seemed a little off.

Although all five Venerables of Fire had perished, and although the Eight Trigrams Formation still shrouded the sky, the azure flames in his eyes grew ever brighter, and that ferocious look became clearer and clearer.

"What a fine formation. My useless subordinates are no match for you." The Netherfire Cult Master didn't care about the death of the Five Fire Venerables, and even had the self-awareness to say, "Even I would have difficulty breaking the formation."

At this point, the Lord of the Netherfire revealed a sinister smile, "Do you know why I didn't go all out just now?"

Before anyone could answer, the leader of the Netherfire Cult answered himself, "Because they were destined to die anyway."

The Lord of the Netherfire raised his right hand, and five points of spiritual light appeared in his palm. He grinned and said, "These are a trace of their true spirit. After all, they are old friends of over a hundred years. I was a little hesitant at first, but since you have made your move, I will not hold back."

As soon as he finished speaking, the five points of spiritual light were swallowed whole by the Lord of the Netherfire.

The next moment, a sudden change occurred!

The entire Black Rock Mountain roared, and the surging, malevolent energy suddenly stopped, then transformed into a ferocious and twisted aura that flowed into the bodies of everyone on Black Rock Mountain.

"Ahhh!"

Hundreds of people on Black Rock Mountain roared, their eyes flashing black light as they roared out, their auras suddenly rising. Seven or eight of them broke through their cultivation levels under the influence of this black energy.

"Break the formation! Kill them!" the Netherfire Cult Leader shouted fiercely.

"kill!"

Hundreds of people on Black Rock Mountain roared in unison, and then, led by those seven or eight people, they each cast spells to attack the Bagua Sky Curtain that covered Black Rock Mountain. The power of their attacks was even greater than that of the Five Fire Venerables just now.

At the same time, the aura of the Netherfire Cult Master suddenly surged, and his whole being exuded an eerie feeling, with his appearance undergoing some distorted changes.

Then he stretched out his hands, and a long sword emitting black smoke and a long rope gleaming with black light appeared in his hands.

With a flick of his left hand, the long rope was thrown out, growing longer and longer until it almost instantly crossed the void, passed through countless sword energies, and swept towards the location of Daoist Yihong's true form.

At this moment, the Dui position transforms into the Shengmen (Gate of Life), which is precisely where the offense and defense are slightly weaker, and the Minghuo Cult Master actually saw through it.

The Bagua formation shifted instantly, with the Dui position transforming into the Jing Gate. Daoist Yi Hong swept his crescent blade horizontally, unleashing a blade aura tens of feet long that pierced the void and struck the Netherfire Cult Leader.

However, the Lord of the Netherfire also unleashed a sword aura, easily severing the sword aura of Daoist Yihong, which was imbued with the power of the array. He even had the remaining strength to attack, but it was eventually dispersed by the Taiyi Divine Wind.

"What's wrong with him?" Master Yansong couldn't help but ask.

“It’s not ghostly energy, not yin energy, not evil energy, but there’s a feeling that it doesn’t belong to this world.” Daoist Shenhao frowned deeply.

Master Yuzhang added, "And it makes people feel very uncomfortable."

Gu Zhao felt the Five Thunder Token within his sea of ​​consciousness throb. "This is demonic energy! The Netherfire Cult Master has cultivated demonic arts!"

"Hahahaha!" The Lord of the Netherfire laughed loudly, "This is the Great Netherworld Azure Fire Demon Art. After mastering it, one will become a demon and invincible under heaven!"

As the Lord of the Netherfire laughed, his body became increasingly distorted, and his eyes seemed to converge towards the center, the emerald flames within them growing ever brighter.

At the same time, the back of the Netherfire Cult Leader twitched, and then two more arms burst out of his body, one holding a large seal emitting black energy and the other holding a copper pot surging with demonic energy.

The image of the Lord of the Netherfire is becoming more and more like the statue of the god worshipped in the town at the foot of the mountain, and the aura of the Lord of the Netherfire is far greater than when he first appeared.

This is the true strength of the Netherfire Cult Master who has cultivated demonic arts.

Master Yihong's eyes narrowed. "His magical power is already no less than that of the black dragon!"

Master Yansong shook his head. "Don't forget, that black dragon was only eating people, not fighting."

"There's no need to compare him to the Black Dragon," Master Mingyu said calmly. "Anyway, whether it's him or that Black Dragon, they're going to die."

Master Shenhao raised his white eyebrows. "To become a demon and be invincible? How coincidental, we're the ones fighting the demon!"

Master Qingyuan nodded, equally eager for battle, "That's right, we're going to fight the demon!" Master Jingfeng and Master Yuzhang didn't respond.

But suddenly, the three divine prisons in the northeast pressed down on the Netherfire Cult Master. A figure resembling the Netherworld Emperor appeared and disappeared behind the three divine prisons, emanating a solemn and terrifying pressure.

Meanwhile, three towering statues, each tens of feet tall, flashed across the southeastern sky once more, unleashing their sword energy towards the Netherfire Cult Master with immense divine power and extreme killing intent.

The two old Taoists, Xiu Hei Lu and Xiu Bei Di, truly lived up to their reputation as the evil gods of the Taoist sect. When they went all out, the originally powerful and magnificent Bagua formation instantly turned into a killing field.

The three divine prisons—the Netherworld Prison, the Fiery Prison, and the Bronze Pillar Prison—were almost merged together and suppressed into the consciousness of the Netherfire Cult Master.

The divine statue formed by the Heavenly Canopy Mantra also exudes awe-inspiring solemnity and majesty, ready to suppress and annihilate the demons before it.

"change!"

The other six old Taoist priests worked together, turning the northeast Kun position into the Death Gate, the southeast Qian position into the Shock Gate, and the west Zhen position into the Injury Gate.

With a flick of his sword, Daoist Mingyu unleashed a massive bolt of Yang Five Thunderbolts, as thick as a water vat, from the five-colored thunderclouds. It formed a triangle with the other two Daoists and struck the Netherfire Cult Leader.

With a roar, the Lord of the Netherfire unleashed a black aura from the bronze pot to protect himself. He slashed at the three divine prisons with his longsword, coiled around the three divine statues with his long rope, and met the purple-gold lightning with his seal.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the Lord of the Netherfire Sect single-handedly blocked the full force of the three ominous gates of the Eight Trigrams Formation.

only……

Gu Zhao, who was stationed in the central palace, integrated his magical power into the Bagua formation. The true Qi of the Daoist sect circulated in the central palace, and the Bagua formation was upgraded to the Nine Palaces Bagua formation, with its power suddenly increasing.

The Fengdu Dharma image became even more solemn, the pressure of the Tianpeng Great Mantra was even heavier, and the purple-gold light of the Five Directions Yang Thunder was even more dazzling.

“This time, the phrase ‘exorcising demons and monsters’ is truly fitting.” Gu Zhao reached out, and a Three Pure Ones Bell appeared in his hand. With a gentle shake, the bell’s sound resounded throughout the sky.

"Kill the devil!"

The command was given, and the clouds moved in all directions!
The formation's power was even greater. The seven or eight experts who had just jumped up were instantly destroyed by Tai Chi, shattered by blades, shattered by lightning, annihilated by Tianpeng, scraped by divine wind, scorched by the sun, captivated by divine light, and destroyed by divine prison.

"Ah ah ah..."

Screams filled the air, and boundless malevolent energy surged forth.

The Netherfire Cult Leader, who had just thought himself invincible, could only watch as all his Netherfire followers, who had just been possessed by demonic energy, were killed. Moreover, he himself was once again suppressed by the formation.

"This is impossible!?" The Netherfire Cult Master felt it was unbelievable. His demonic energy surged once more, and his four magical treasures unleashed power far exceeding his own.

"Nothing is impossible," Gu Zhao's voice rang softly in his ear.

The next moment, the power of the eight directions converged, and a purple-gold lightning bolt, far surpassing the previous five directions of Yang lightning, formed in the very center of the sky. It then transformed into a divine lightning sword that could split the heavens and the earth, slashing towards the Netherfire Cult Master.

The longsword shattered, the long rope broke, the seal flew away, and the bronze pot shattered.

The magical artifact nurtured by the Netherfire Cult Master with demonic energy was ineffective, and he himself was directly struck by lightning and fell from the sky, crashing into Black Rock Mountain.

"Ahhhhh!" The Lord of the Netherfire burst forth from the earth.

Although his aura was scattered, his imposing presence was even stronger. Moreover, his previously slightly distorted appearance had been completely transformed, with his two eyes merging into one single eye, the emerald flames within radiating billowing demonic energy.

"I want you..."

"boom!"

Another bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, not only silencing his words but also sending him crashing into the mountains.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

After dozens of continuous bolts of lightning, the Five Thunder Token in Gu Zhao's sea of ​​consciousness finally received a strong baleful aura.

"Enough with the nonsense. I've already told you, our specialty is fighting demons."
