Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 481 Terrifying Calamity, Only Death Remains!
He was elegant in demeanor and calm in voice.

The moment he finished speaking, a black feather ignited.

At the same time, the black patterns around Xuan Ya's body rapidly contracted, and along with the chaotic Daoist aura, they were projected into the empty valley, into the area where the flag bearers and others were located.

"what!"

A piercing scream rang out, and the soul of a True Lord suddenly vanished, followed by his physical body exploding into pieces.

Splattered blood and flesh, filled with an aura of calamity, fell upon the people around them.

The calamity spread rapidly, causing more True Lords' physical bodies to wither and decay, their primordial spirits to fall silent and then transform into the source of the calamity, shattering and triggering even greater disasters.

The entire magic array descended into chaos and shattered with a deafening roar.

The immense backlash caused Kong Gu and the flag bearer to be greatly shaken.

The two were still able to control themselves and tried to suppress the backlash and calm their minds, but the backlash triggered a chain reaction among the early Nascent Soul stage cultivators behind Shi Lin and the others.

Under the onslaught of the two Daoist energies, chaos and calamity, several early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators experienced mental turmoil.

As the black raven gazed upon it, muffled, gray-black thunderclaps frequently appeared within the Dharma Realm, striking so hard that the sky and earth seemed to collapse and crack.

In an instant, natural disasters struck the entire Dharma realm, plunging it to the brink of collapse.

When cracks appear in their Dao foundation, even their own primordial spirits have nowhere to hide.

The dark gray thunder, like a heavenly tribulation, firmly locked onto their primordial spirits, striking down continuously from time to time.

The sound of "snap" continued, and a crack appeared between his brows.

With a deafening roar, the Dharma Realm shattered, and the head of a Nascent Soul cultivator exploded.

The remaining flesh, stirred by the black feather's Daoist aura, began to frantically devour the surrounding scraps of flesh, forming an even larger source of chaotic calamity.

In no time, with a loud "boom," it exploded into pieces again.

Because of the suppression of his own Dharma Realm, the other early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, who were slower to react, were also affected, and a vicious cycle began.

The area where the magic circle was located was constantly rumbling, and large pieces of flesh and blood exploded and then reassembled, making it impossible to tell who they came from.

The empty valley and the flag bearer were filled with fear.

Seeing the chaotic and calamistic tide of flesh and blood closing in from all directions, the two dared not delay any longer. They each roused their spirits, and the power of the Dharma realm surged wildly into their feet.

The area where the two belonged to the magic array was violently surging with primordial chaos.

With a "bang," they shattered. Taking advantage of the aftershocks caused by the Xuanhuang riot, the two suddenly disappeared from the spot, one picking up Shilin and the other picking up Hengyue.

The flag bearer wanted to take Di Xuan with him, but the other party stood there frozen in place, and it was too late.

Left with no other choice, they had to give up and head towards the area where Zizhen and the others were.

Seeing this, Dao Yan, in mid-air, sent pale flames shooting down, burning a gap in the Xuan Guang Prison, allowing the flag bearers and Kong Gu to enter behind Zi Zhen and the others' formation.

Although the flag bearer and Kong Gu escaped with great difficulty, the magic array completely lost its effectiveness due to the self-destruction of the magic array position.

Standing atop the dragon's head, Huang Shigong, who was about to fly out of Zhongtian Pass, underwent a drastic change in expression. Without the blessing of the magic array, his mind suddenly sank.

The immense pressure caught him off guard, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood, and the dragon body that the Xuanhuang Platform beneath his feet had transformed into suddenly collapsed.

"Buzz, boom, boom"

The void hummed incessantly, and the disintegrated dragon body transformed back into the Xuanhuang Platform, falling from the heavens and earth and crashing onto the Zhongtian Pass with a deafening roar.

The entire Zhongtian Pass was smashed and dropped several dozen feet.

The Xuanhuang Platform, now out of control, was incredibly heavy. Huang Shigong gripped the Xuanhuang Banner tightly and landed on the platform, the blood at the corner of his mouth a shocking sight.

Xuan Ya's sudden attack not only slaughtered many True Monarchs and Nascent Soul cultivators under the Xuanhuang Temple, but also caused him to lose the protection of the magic array.

It won't be so easy to mobilize the power of the Xuanhuang Platform again!

Staring at the black crow, Huang Shigong angrily shouted:

"Black Crow!"

Outside Zhongtian Pass, Xuan Ya, who felt it was a pity that Kong Gu and the others had escaped, slowly turned around upon hearing Huang Shigong's stern shout.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, it's been a long time."

Her demeanor remained elegant, and her voice as calm as ever.

Upon seeing this, Huang Shigong's eyes grew even redder, and whether due to the influence of the calamity or the turmoil of his own mind, he nearly went mad for a moment.

Dao Yan had just cast a circle of pale flames in front of Zi Zhen and the others' magic array.

Although this increased his energy expenditure, Xuan Ya could no longer break through the blockade and slaughter Zi Zhen and the others as before.

In this way, he can still receive the blessing of the magic array, so it's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

Seeing that Huang Shigong seemed to be going crazy, Dao Yan stepped down from the void, with the blazing sun above his head and the Soul-Burning Flame falling down, shining on Huang Shigong's brow.

"Calm down!"

This flame can not only burn away the primordial spirit, but also awaken the mind.

Huang Shigong calmed down slightly, but the bloodshot in his eyes did not lessen in the slightest. He nodded to Dao Yan and said firmly:
"Protect Kong Gu and the others, and hold off Xuan Ya Zhan Cha for a while. I will break into the Fusang Divine Nest and kill Jin Peng!"

His expression was aloof and devoid of any emotion, yet Dao Yan sensed a chill in him.

“Master, the formation has been broken. How can you break through the divine nest and kill the Golden Roc by yourself? Let me do it. You just need to hold off the Black Crow.”

Huang Shigong glanced at Dao Yan, grateful for Dao Yan's kindness. But now, the Xuanhuang Territory had suffered repeated heavy losses, and he could no longer rely on others.

Xuanhuang is no less capable than anyone else! There's no reason why someone who looks down on the Earth Spirit Temple Master could speak so eloquently, while he, as the Scripture Transmitter of Xuanhuang Temple, couldn't do the same!

With a slight raise of his arm, interrupting Dao Yan's persuasion, Huang Shigong's expression was solemn, and he said firmly:
"You will die!"

Dao Yan instantly understood Huang Shigong's meaning. He stared at Huang Shigong, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly, before finally sighing:
"Rest assured, Lord, I will protect Konggu and the others."

Having said that, he still gazed at Huang Shigong.

Li Wushou, who had been observing the two, knew that Yan was still transmitting something telepathically.

The two must be discussing the details of breaking through the next level.

At the same time, he also realized that Huang Shigong was going to fight desperately!

The repeated losses suffered by the Xuanhuang territory under his leadership were unacceptable to Huang Shigong.

From the moment he transformed into the Earth Spirit Master and uttered those words, he had already used his power of the Abdominal God to stir up Huang Shigong's emotions.

At this moment, Huang Shigong was finally on the verge of losing control.

Even at great cost, the enemy will surely break through the Fusang Divine Nest within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Xuan Ya also understood this.

Xuan Ya's calm eyes became more serious. He knew the Golden Roc's capabilities. The Fusang Divine Nest seemed unbreakable, but activating it required considerable energy.

Having just blocked one of the tails of Huang Shigong's Xuanhuang Dragon, he had already exhausted most of his strength.

How many more attacks can it withstand next, thanks to the Golden Roc's power?
However, none of this mattered to him anymore. After so many years of dedicated cultivation, he had already glimpsed his own path to becoming a Venerable.

Unlike Jin Peng and the others, he did not comprehend the Dao Fruit of the Sparrow Lord. He had already fulfilled the Sparrow Lord's entrustment on this trip, which could be considered as repaying the Sparrow Lord's kindness.

He seemed relaxed just now, but he had already used all his strength.

Two of the three black feathers given by the Sparrow Lord were used up before the formation under the Xuanhuang Sect was destroyed in one fell swoop.

The next step is simply to hold off Dao Yan; whether Jin Peng can hold out is no longer his concern.

While everyone was lost in thought, Dao Yan and Huang Shigong, who were in mid-air, reached a consensus.

Dao Yan returned to the sky, his hands quickly forming hand seals. The blazing sun above his head merged back into the sky, and a phantom image of the "Mirror of Ten Thousand Fires" materialized, then shone towards Xuan Ya.

The black crow's figure flashed frequently as it moved constantly.

However, the flames from the Myriad Fire Mirror followed closely, preventing the Black Crow from approaching the direction of Zhongtian Pass.

Dao Yan controlled the "Myriad Fire Mirror," but dared not be greedy for merit and act rashly. Most of his mind was still around the magic array of Zi Zhen and the others.

While keeping the Black Crow away, they also continuously burned away the calamity power spread by the Black Crow to avoid affecting the power supply of Zi Zhen and the others.

While this approach proved highly effective, it also caused Zizhen and the others to experience a rapid increase in their energy expenditure.

The time it takes to drink a cup of tea is a great test for Dao Yan, Zi Zhen, and the others.

On the other side, Huang Shigong suddenly turned around, not looking back once more, leaving his back to Dao Yan, and focused intently on the Dragon Ball Dojo.

Jin Peng, who had intended to make a few sarcastic remarks about Huang Shigong, inexplicably fell silent.

He actually saw the will to die in Huang Shigong's eyes!
Although he knew that Huang Shigong was going to fight to the death, he did not believe that Huang Shigong would actually die for it; these were two different things.

At this moment, however, he no longer had any doubts, and his heart trembled slightly.

Such a person is willing to risk his life; who would dare to ignore him?
Silently, he took out a black feather, swallowed it, and the Golden Roc prepared for battle.

Huang Shigong stood on the Xuanhuang Platform, his expression unchanged upon seeing this.

At this moment, nothing could shake his mind. With a thought, a large star suddenly floated out from between his eyebrows and hovered in front of him.

Huang Shigong gazed at his own Dharma realm with a complex expression.

He rose from humble beginnings, following the abbot through thick and thin, facing life and death countless times.

But ever since he condensed the Xuanhuang Dharma Realm, everything has gone according to his wishes, and he has never encountered any danger again.

So much so that for many years, Huang Shigong believed he would surely be able to break through to the Venerable level and roam freely between heaven and earth.

But this one step was like an insurmountable chasm, one that he could not cross no matter what.

"It seems like there's no chance anymore!"

With a soft sigh, Huang Shigong's eyes suddenly sharpened.

With a resolute thrust, the Xuanhuang Banner in his hand pierced into the Dharma Realm, and Xuanhuang Qi poured out, filling the Xuanhuang Banner and the Xuanhuang Platform beneath his feet.

Li Wushou, who had anticipated this, suddenly narrowed his pupils.

"How ruthless! After this battle, even if he doesn't die, his path to enlightenment is over."

Although Li Wushou knew from the old beggar's explanation that if the Xuanhuang Temple Master did not die, Huang Shigong would have a very difficult time breaking through to the Venerable level, Huang Shigong himself was unaware of this.

Such decisiveness and ruthlessness truly befit a powerful figure!
However, Zhongtian Pass should be breached by now. Although there is still some time before Zhu Liuli's quarter-hour mark, Li Wushou does not intend to wait until the quarter-hour mark to act.

The preparations are sufficient to maximize his benefits.

If I prepare too thoroughly, I might end up taking on too much responsibility, which would require even more effort and be counterproductive.

It's perfect timing to open Zhongtian Pass while Huang Shigong is fighting desperately, so we can see the final plan of Que Zun and the others!
The moment Li Wushou made up his mind, a thought suddenly struck him.

The invisible golden core, having just absorbed the overflowing power of the Dharma Realm from the dead and wounded of the Xuanhuang Territory, trembled slightly, harnessing the power of the Five Elements Earth Spirit, and rushed towards the underground.

Li Wushou's primordial spirit ventured deep into the abyss and finally discovered Zhu Liuli's whereabouts.

And sure enough, the old beggar was there too!
