The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 219 All Living Beings Bow Down (Third Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The Dragon Slayer's gaze was fixed on the young Taoist priest. His pupils suddenly contracted, and he subconsciously exchanged glances with the Earth God of Mount Hua and the general of the Soul Suppressing Camp. Just a moment ago, this young Taoist priest was clearly lying quietly in the coffins that they were carrying.

How did you end up here?
No, this aura is—

They subconsciously probed Zhou Yan's aura, and their expressions changed one by one. In their minds, the young Daoist, who was only at the sixth rank, was now displaying an aura as powerful as the mist over the mountains and rivers.

Unfathomable!

How could this be? Could it be that he broke through in such a short period of time?

Duanlongshi subconsciously rejected this guess; it was absolutely impossible! Then there was only one possibility: that this grandmaster uncle of the Supreme Pavilion Daoist had been hiding his true cultivation level all along.

No wonder.

No wonder, no wonder—

No wonder he was able to lead the Taishan Fujun Grand Ritual, which consisted of 2,400 altars.

No wonder they were able to attract a full six thousand Taishan Guards, as well as the divine generals of Taishan!

No wonder that time, it even attracted the true form of the Lord of Mount Tai to descend. No wonder it was like that, so that's how it is!

Was everything part of a plan? And what was the purpose of this plan?
Thus, the Dragon Slayer understood everything.

The ordinary mountain gods, demons, and monsters around them were stunned by the thick fog that seemed to be endlessly circulating in the same spot. They were terrified and huddled in place, not daring to even breathe, only daring to secretly observe the changes happening in the scene out of the corner of their eyes.

In this moment of utter silence, only the sound of a spear tip striking the ground could be heard. The golden-armored, white-robed general slowly stepped forward, spear tip against the ground. With each step, a burst of malevolent energy from the spear tip would erupt.

The Nine Elders Cave Master's mind raced, and he deliberately said, "True Lord of the Western Peak, what are you doing! Do you still dare to be so presumptuous in front of True Person Zhou of the Supreme Pavilion?!"

boom! ! !
Xiyue Zhenjun did not turn around. He twirled his spear, releasing a burst of Gengjin evil energy, and swung it to the side, directly hitting Jiulaodong Sichen. The latter was sent flying backward, his face pale, and the memory of being 'killed' earlier resurfaced.

It was so real and dreamlike that he couldn't tell whether he was in reality or dreaming.

It seems real yet unreal, like an illusory dream, a distorted and inverted fantasy.

"They can fight and kill; it seems this time it's not a sham."

The True Lord of the Western Peak withdrew his spear, his tone cold and indifferent.

Si Chen of Jiu Lao Cave angrily said, "You!"

Jin Tianwang raised his spear, his eyes calm, tinged with arrogance and disdain, and said, "Gentlemen, there's no need for pretense. We've all come here for the treasures of Zhongnan Mountain."

"We're here to steal the treasure, why say one thing and do another?"

"They are like clowns and entertainers, making people laugh."

The white-robed general looked down at Zhou Yan with an arrogant expression. He raised his divine weapon and pointed it at Zhou Yan. The hem of his white robe fluttered in the wind due to the evil energy of Geng metal. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes—the suffocating feeling of being trapped in the thick fog had not yet dissipated.

However, although the young Taoist priest in front of him had a strong aura, he no longer had the feeling of being in the mist.

There were only two paths before him: one was to grovel and bow his head, the other was to draw his spear.

He was betting that the young Taoist priest in front of him did not possess the characteristics of the mist from before.

"The change in your aura suggests that the treasure of Zhongnan Mountain is in your hands."

"Take it out."

Jin Tianwang instantly moved forward, the Gengjin evil energy surrounding his spear condensing into a spear beam over ten feet long, carrying the force to split mountains and shatter rocks, and slashed down at Zhou Yan! The surrounding mist was forcibly pushed aside by the spear beam, forming a vacuum zone.

His marksmanship was so domineering that it had reached a state of perfection.

Zhou Yan concealed his hands beneath the wide sleeves of his Taoist robe, his eyes revealing a divine aura.

With his enlightened divine eye shining forth, the incomparably domineering spear strike suddenly slowed down, revealing clearly the trajectory of the spear's light and the weaknesses in its gathering malevolent energy. The young Taoist took half a step forward.

hum-

An invisible radiance spread out and dissipated beneath my feet.

It transforms into the root of the eight-petaled Bodhi lotus.

Then it evolved into twelve academies.

Omniscient, Vidyadhara, Shakyamuni, Avalokiteshvara, Vajrapani, Akasagarbha, Susiddhi, Manjushri, Ksitigarbha, Sarvanivaranaviskambhin, and the outer Vajra courts.

In this instant, the Bodhi field of arising and ceasing in an instant is constructed, and thus lotuses bloom with every step. Using the Garbhadhatu Mandala boundary-forming method, the cause of all beings' Buddhahood and the principle of all dharmas are deduced in reverse.

Thus, the seemingly invincible Golden King's spear suddenly revealed a flaw.

The flowing energy of the spear suddenly stagnated at a certain point.

Zhou Yan took another half step forward.

Just at the perfect moment, he naturally stepped onto the weakest point of Jin Tianwang's spear connection, raised his hand and pushed outwards, his five fingers naturally clenching together.

boom! ! !
The divine spear, formed purely from the energy of Geng metal, was grasped by the Golden Heavenly King.

Jin Tianwang's pupils contracted, and a sharp, murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

Dare to hold my gun?!

Ok, good, good!
In an instant, he used the wondrous method of the Geng Metal to follow the way of mountains and rivers, taking his body as the earth and pointing his spear at the mountain peak. However, the young Taoist with graying temples only lowered his eyes, and the true essence of the warlord flowed within his body.

Gold and red colors flowed across the back and chest, intertwining to create an incredible effect.

Military power is paramount.

It instilled fear in many weapons.

Suddenly, King Jin felt that the spear in his hand had lost its former sharpness and edge, and his killing intent dissipated. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes, while in the eyes of all the onlookers, the domineering King Jin was preparing to unleash his spear.

The young Taoist priest simply walked forward casually, and he caught him.

Did they catch them?
Having just witnessed the overwhelming power of the Golden Heavenly King's spear in that seemingly real yet illusory fog, the mountain gods, including the Dragon Slayer, slowly froze. They knew very well how incredible this seemingly casual move was.

A hint of ferocity flashed in Jin Tianwang's eyes, and his spear whistled.

Having broken free from the control of the military lord, he soared into the air and vanished in an instant, like a golden wind disappearing into the sky. Zhou Yan stood firmly on his feet, raised his hand, and the sparrow perched on his finger, nuzzling him affectionately.

At the same time, the net woven by the Weaver Girl, which covered the entire Zhongnan Mountain and its surrounding earth veins, came under Zhou Yan's control. Zhou Yan's perception instantly spread and expanded.

boom! ! !
The figure of the Golden Heavenly King appeared behind him, his spear poised to pierce through Zhou Yan, his momentum like a thunderbolt. The young Taoist did not turn around, his Taoist Primordial True Meaning flowing under the support of the earth's veins.

The thousands of thunderbolts drawn by the spear crashed down with a deafening roar.

The Taoist priest did not turn around, and the meaning of the flow of Yin and Yang spread out.

The moment those myriad thunderbolts touched the halo of the Primordial True Meaning, they were like fine sand encountering a torrent, forcibly split into Yin and Yang energies, which swirled around his body.

The fiercer and more domineering the thunder was, the more turbulent the flow of Yin and Yang energies became. In the end, it even formed a visible yin-yang fish phantom, protecting Zhou Yan completely.

The military holds supreme power, controlling warfare; the Buddhist Womb Realm allows one to perceive the principles of all phenomena.

The Taoist concept of Hunyuan divides all things into Yin and Yang energies.

Since embarking on various cultivation paths, Zhou Yan has undertaken things, taken risks, and faced crises far exceeding those of ordinary Xuan Guan. Now, with the support of the Zhongnan Mountain ley lines, he has finally reached the fourth rank of these cultivation paths, revealing his true fangs.

The Golden Heavenly King thrust his spear forward fiercely. Zhou Yan had also finished testing his own spiritual lineage. He stepped to the side, naturally avoiding the Golden Heavenly King's move. The Yin and Yang energies circulated, pulling the Golden Heavenly King towards him. At the same time, he raised his hand.

Press down according to the weaknesses revealed by the Garbhadhatu Mandala barrier.

The spear in Jin Tianwang's hand transformed into a beam of light and blocked the attack. Relying on his own cultivation level and techniques, he managed to withstand the blow. Jin Tianwang was a mountain spirit and stone monster, and his strength far exceeded that of flesh and blood.

"Okay, come on!"

Jin Tianwang unleashed his full power, and Zhou Yan also exhaled.

With his body strengthened by the essence of Chi You, the God of War, he fought against the mountain spirits and stone monsters.

Zhou Yan felt an incredibly strong force emanating from Jin Tianwang, which made his palms numb. However, Jin Tianwang also felt that the power in the hands of this flesh-and-blood opponent was terrifyingly vast.

boom! ! !
Golden light slowly dissipated and rose from the body of the Golden Heavenly King, transforming into golden radiance, and finally into a huge Dharma image as tall as a mountain, which was the hallmark of the fourth-grade realm.

With the power of Dharma, one can control heaven and earth and nature.

Amidst the rumbling sound, the golden figure wielded a spear that fiercely pierced the young Taoist. The young Taoist's figure was pierced through, and then transformed into a strand of white hair, slowly drifting down.

"what?!"

The Golden King's expression changed.

The young Taoist appeared in front of the courtyard. Just now, Zhou Yan used the transformation technique taught by Nuwa to replace the previous figure with the white-haired incarnation when the Golden Heavenly King activated his Dharma Avatar Kill.

Nuwa's methods of transformation are impossible to see through without special supernatural powers and background.

However, to onlookers, the scene looked like the one who had just fought with the Golden King, only now it was the white-haired incarnation.

Everyone was speechless with shock.

The coffin behind the Dragon Slayer was opened, and the young Taoist lying there quietly turned into a white hair. Two white hairs flowed in the wind and fell to Zhou Yan's temples, growing back. The young Taoist closed the courtyard door.

He had already seen the handsome young man sitting in the corner.

With this young man around, this courtyard will not be tracked down.

The young Taoist turned around, having already made his initial attempts at using his own magical techniques.

However, Zhou Yan's abilities were never those of a normal lineage. He raised his eyes and looked at the group of demons and mountain gods outside, as well as at the Golden Heavenly King who stood in mid-air with a powerful Dharma appearance.

The jade book quickly flipped to a certain page, and then, a bright light shone forth.

Now, with the support of the Zhongnan Mountain ley lines, Zhou Yan's own abilities have temporarily reached the fourth rank. Even his weakest magical power can be provided by the ley lines over a thousand miles. In that case, he should certainly use all his methods to his heart's content.

It also needs to be domineering enough, enough to intimidate others.

He wanted them to think this place was his sacred space, so they wouldn't dare disturb him.

Although with Fuxi around, there was no need to worry about anyone coming after them, Zhou Yan hoped that no one else would even entertain such a thought.

The young Taoist priest raised his hand, and the sparrow flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

He walked slowly forward, his right hand open and then clenched.

Accompanied by a deep whistling sound, Di Po Tian Qing appeared. With a flick of his wrist, Di Po Tian Qing pointed at the earth and stepped forward. The power of the Zhongnan Mountain's earth veins rose from his feet, and his Taoist robe transformed into armor.

Armor with earth and mountain patterns, and a blue battle robe with civil and military sleeves featuring cloud patterns.

The wooden hairpin transformed into a jade crown.

The handsome young Taoist priest transformed into a divine general in the blink of an eye. With a flick of his wrist, the Earthly Soul and Heavenly Inclined Blade transformed into a long-handled, three-pointed, double-edged sword as it spun. At the same time, he silently chanted incantations in his heart.

Great supernatural power——

The image of the Buddha with eight arms and seven kots.

Wisps of primordial energy rose up, and behind the young Taoist, relying on his own power, he unleashed his supernatural abilities. A huge Dharma form slowly appeared, but it did not transform into a three-headed, eight-armed form. Instead, it was purely the divine general form deduced from Zhou Yan's own Dao foundation.

Extremely tall and immense, like a mountain, clad in armor and wearing a blue battle robe with sleeves for both civil and military officials.

The three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand was wreathed in a bloodthirsty aura.

Together with the young Taoist priest, they pointed their weapons forward.

Hollow, deep, and domineering aura emanated forward, surging down and suppressing everything. The golden and red marks erupted simultaneously, forming a special authority.

Military power is supreme!

Accompanied by a series of low whistling sounds of swords and blades, all the demons and monsters that had come from the thousand-mile-long Zhongnan Mountain range, upon hearing the news, struggled and howled wildly in the hands of their masters, their weapons filled with fear, terror, and submission.

Finally, they all slipped from their grasp, transforming into feathers of light that flew to Zhou Yan's side.

Before him, they were planted in the ground and transformed into a forest of weapons.

Such methods terrified the mountain spirits and demons, who were all cultivators of the Xuan official realm. They dared not look directly at the young Taoist and bowed their heads in unison. Zhou Yan raised his three-pointed double-edged sword and pointed it at the former number one killer among the Five Sacred Mountains.

Calmly said:
"Come."
