Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 624 The Demon's Clutches Fall

Kumbhanapa, the leader of the naked cult.

He can be considered a legendary villain.

Originally an ordinary woman, she was persecuted by her husband Zhao Changsu for favoring his concubine and neglecting his wife. She was forced to flee to Tiecheng Mountain, where she became a disciple of the Old Demon Lord and learned the unparalleled martial arts of the Demonic Sect.

After completing his studies, he founded the Naked Cult, killed his concubine and husband, and avenged his great grudge.

She was also exceptionally talented. The Naked Cult she founded was a superior form of magic that required virginity to attain enlightenment. In order to fulfill her great vow, she conceived a spiritual fetus herself to restore her virginity and established the Pope.

If her life experiences were taken out individually, she could be considered the protagonist of "The Untamed" or a strong female lead.

Theoretically, although this person is extreme in temperament and ruthless in action, he has never completely sided with the demonic path.

The techniques do not require killing living beings, and some even originated from orthodox Buddhism, so they can be considered as unorthodox masters.

At least while righteous masters like Changmei were still around, they maintained a respectful distance, keeping to themselves and not interfering with each other.

However, a choice was made in the face of the overwhelming trend of the decline of Tao and the rise of Demon.

She was involved in the downfall of Mount Shu, and she also sniped the righteous forces who came to its aid.

It's quite a coincidence that we met this naked cult leader here.

Xu Xuan also has a Galaxy Sword in its scabbard.

In Dongye County, an unnamed goddess returned to the world after slaying a serpent with her sword.

At that time, Xu Xuan not only accepted the Galaxy Sword and the Jade Bottle, but also the karma.

Therefore, he was not flustered at all when he encountered this evil demon during the tribulation of artifacts; in fact, he was even somewhat pleased.

In the world of immortals and heroes, the demonic path must always be subdued, right?

"East China Sea."

"I didn't expect you to find out after all."

When the Pure Land monk mentioned the Sword Immortal of the East Sea, Kumbhama was first puzzled, then understood.

It turns out that the snake didn't eat the remnant soul; instead, it brought trouble upon itself. This world is indeed chaotic.

No wonder someone suddenly decided to obstruct the birth of the righteous divine sword; it turns out there's a cause and effect behind it.

Since that's the case, there's no need to say more.

The Pure Land School is indeed powerful, with many experts and a vast influence.

However, if I were to hide in the open sea for a period of time after the killings, I should have no hindrance. As for the Naked Cult, there should be no major issues, since most of the monks are compassionate.

She acted immediately, being a fiery and eccentric person by nature.

With a quick hand seal, he extended a claw into the void.

The world suddenly went dark.

The clouds, like boiling water, were torn and twisted by an invisible force, eventually splitting open a pitch-black abyss.

From that abyss, a bird's claw, obscuring the sky, suddenly emerged. Its nails were like towering pillars, their lines like ravines, each line flowing with viscous, malevolent energy, as if condensing the purest malice in the world.

At the same time, the patterns also contain the meaning of compassion and repentance, as well as the sound of a baby crying.

It is bizarre and unparalleled in its power.

The moment this bird claw appeared, the spiritual energy within a hundred miles instantly solidified, the air became as heavy as lead and mercury, and even breathing became difficult.

It slowly pressed down, and before it even truly touched the ground, the earth already showed signs of cracking, as if the mountains would collapse, the rivers would overflow, and the end of the world would come.

This claw is meant to seize the divine sword and destroy all living beings!
The demons who were still locked in combat were suddenly dumbfounded. They had only come out to meet their fate, but now they discovered that an even more terrifying demon was coming.

So what to do? Of course, run away. Return to the world of fear in people's hearts and wait for an opportunity, since they are immortal.

The little demons were running and suddenly felt really hot, and the more they ran, the easier it became. That's when they noticed that all their good friends around them had turned green.

This fire is no ordinary flame, but the Nine Ghost Fire!

Kumbhanda has three methods that are powerful enough to intimidate the demonic path, all of which are prepared to fight against the heavenly tribulation. One of them is the ghost fire that devours living beings and refines them for its own use.

The flames were icy cold, and instead of radiating heat, they greedily absorbed the surrounding temperature and life force.

"laugh--"

Flames licked at the remains of the demon children, their bluish-gray skin rapidly drying and carbonizing, eventually turning into wisps of pitch-black demonic energy that were frantically devoured by the giant claw in the sky!
Meanwhile, the surviving demon child charged back amidst a green glow, her sanity manipulated, her body transforming from a little girl into a muscular little girl, becoming a zombie-like being.

The big demon eats the little demon; it's a normal food chain.

The situation was reversed in an instant; no wonder he is the Naked Cult Leader.

"Oh no!" Hayate's pupils constricted sharply. "It's feeding the giant claw with the Demon Child's soul fire!"

Ning Caichen said coldly, "We must finish this quickly, otherwise the giant claw will become stronger and stronger!"

"Ahhh-"

Amidst a piercing shriek, hundreds of demonic corpses simultaneously burst into flames, and overwhelming demonic energy surged into the giant claw like a torrent.

"boom--!!"

The giant claw suddenly expanded, casting a shadow that blotted out the sky and completely enveloped the earth. The nails on its five fingers stretched out like giant scythes, and a foul-smelling stench emanated from its palm, instantly corroding the vegetation within a hundred feet into ash!

The pressure is skyrocketing!

With a roar, Zao Tongxue's fist was like a sword, and his righteous energy burst forth, transforming into a dazzling pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

His fist intent was pure to the extreme, without a trace of impurity, making him the nemesis of all evil spirits in the world. However, when the fist force entered the giant claw, it was like a mud ox entering the sea, only causing a ripple before being completely swallowed up by the endless yin energy.

Faced with an absolute disparity, unless one cultivates righteous energy to the point of filling the heavens and earth, one will still be suppressed by the stronger.

Ning Caichen plucked the strings with his ten fingers, transforming his seven emotions and six desires into invisible strings. With a flick of his fingertips, all aspects of human life—love, hate, infatuation, joy, sorrow, separation, and reunion—were transformed into sound blades that slashed at the giant hand.

But Kumbhanda had already experienced the deepest love, the greatest hatred, and the most utter despair in the world. The sounds of the seven emotions and six desires entered his palm but were like stones sinking into the sea, failing to even cause the slightest tremor.

Even those green demon kids are gradually breaking free of control. Although they twitch like a bad signal, it is a very dangerous sign.

Xiahou the swordsman roared, and his sword energy poured down like a torrential rain, each strike carrying the ruthlessness of his life's bloodshed.

But at this moment, the sword energy pierced the giant hand like a needle piercing a mountain, leaving not even a mark.

For the second time in seven days, the world's second-best swordsman was overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness; the reality of the world was too cruel for him.

Of the four, only Ji Rui dealt true damage.

The short sword was drawn, its blade flashing like water, instantly transforming into countless variations, each strike lightly aimed at the weakest point of the giant claw.

This supernatural power is specifically designed to counter all kinds of strange forces in the world, and its ultimate result was to trim a person's nails.

Even so, it still drew a second glance from the pilgrim; this person was a bit strange.

However, the main target now is the monk disguised as a scholar, and the Pure Land sect must deal with him carefully.

The giant claw pressed down, shadows enveloped the earth, and death was imminent.

Just then, Xu Xuan, who had been hammering the stone tablet, finally made his move.

By this point, most of the work had been completed, and all that remained in his hand was a stone stick with the hilt of a sword slightly protruding.

What Kumbum was guarding against was how to deal with the opponent if they used the Benevolent Divine Weapon. Such divine weapons of destiny are born with the power of heaven and earth, and are very difficult to deal with.
