Chapter 1785

This person was said to have suffered from vitiligo in his childhood and was subjected to much ridicule. After he sought immortality and entered the Dao, he went back and killed everyone who had laughed at him, but he was always unwilling to remove the white spots on his face, saying he wanted to keep them to commemorate his mortal period. True Person Cangxi had boundless magic power and was a famous great immortal in ancient times; Thousand Illusions also respected him very much. When the extraterrestrial heavenly demons invaded, he beheaded dozens of heavenly demons, but unfortunately, he was finally defeated by the Lingxu Holy Venerable and fell on the Gu River battlefield.

Only after that did the Lingxu Holy Venerable become famous and begin to be known to the world.

This person and this face suddenly appeared in the Reversed Sea; after a moment of astonishment, Elder Liu felt his hair stand on end.

True Person Cangxi had long since fallen; who was hiding in this shell now? Or to ask the opposite, which heavenly demon was qualified to wear the skin of an ancient true immortal?

The lighthouse, the Eye of Truth, and True Person Cangxi who fell before the Lingxu Holy Venerable that year...

"Miao Miao Zhantian has come!" Elder Liu shouted urgently to his fellow disciples, "Retreat, all retreat!"

It was truly guessed correctly by He Xiao; this demon god had truly come out personally, and used the body of True Person Cangxi. That's right, it is difficult for the body of an ordinary immortal to carry His power.

With Miao Miao Zhantian having arrived personally, Elder Liu absolutely did not want to remain in its barrier.

The immortals were startled, each of them very willing to take advice, and retreated as flying rainbows. But True Person Cangxi's movements were faster than all of them, slamming a sharp awl fiercely into the top of the tower.

This sharp awl was no more than a foot long, its whole body shimmering with silver-white, and at first glance, it did not look as powerful as the Thunder Peak Thorn in Elder Xu's hand. But just as True Person Cangxi let go, the Eye of Truth on the lighthouse closed, then rotated ninety degrees, becoming a vertical eye.

True Person Cangxi retreated gracefully, first crossing his fingers, then making a gesture with both hands to pry outward, and shouted loudly: "Open!"

Even with the depth of His cultivation, making this gesture appeared exceptionally strenuous, as if He were truly trying to pry open some invisible object, such as a tightly closed giant clam.

A huge sound of tearing silk came from the night sky, and the Eye of Truth opened again, but this time it was no longer just an eye, but a rift.

Inside the rift was a darkness deeper than the night sky.

It seemed that tearing it open was the most difficult part, and after the opening, it became unstoppable. With a "crack," it changed from a few feet long to several zhang long, and then split into a huge, irregularly shaped gap more than ten zhang long and three to five zhang wide! The immortals were scared out of their wits: "A spatial rift!"

The Illusion Sect immortals had envisioned many methods Miao Miao Zhantian could employ, but never expected He would use this. In an instant, they exerted more effort and flew faster.

However, it was too late.

An astonishing and surging suction came from within the gap; the larger the rift, the stronger the suction.

That kind of strength and ferocity left the General Xiaoyao Sect's Zi Wu Divine Wind dozens of streets behind.

Elder Liu, who was closest to it, was sucked in with a "whoosh," without even the power to resist.

The speed at which he was sucked in was more than several times faster than the speed at which he could escape by flying on his magic tool.

The other two elders exhausted all their skills, but were still unable to escape the disaster.

Elder Xu flashed and crashed toward the ground.

Miao Miao Zhantian's lighthouse barrier was still there, so he could not perform earth-escaping magic; he simply punched a large hole, intending to drill deep into the ground to avoid the suction of the rift.

This line of reasoning was not problematic; he even crashed in the direction of the base of the Banqiu lighthouse. Although it happened in a rush, Elder Xu still keenly captured a point of opportunity: in the final analysis, what provided energy to this terrifying rift was the lighthouse. As long as the lighthouse was destroyed and the supply to the space-time rift was cut off, this catastrophe might be able to stop.

But the only thing he miscalculated was that the entire piece of land he escaped into was also sucked up. Elder Xu was like a scallion in a flower roll, about to be swept into the rift together. But the giant axe in his hand finally hacked into the base of the lighthouse, temporarily getting stuck there.

Relying on this axe, Elder Xu was temporarily not blown away. But his broken left arm could not exert force, and he had no way to nail himself into the lighthouse.

At the same time, a demon-subduing pestle flew out from a diagonal angle, carrying a dazzling red light and slamming fiercely into the base of the lighthouse.

Elder Liu had taken action to save his fellow sect member.

His position happened to be on the back side of the rift, so he was temporarily not affected as much.

The heavenly demons who had retreated behind True Person Cangxi immediately took action to intercept.

But Elder Liu's strike used all his strength; the demon-subduing pestle smashed the intercepting magic tool to pieces, its remaining momentum undiminished, and the lotus petals at the tip of the pestle opened, swelling into a mallet, then slammed fiercely onto the tower base.

With a dull, loud sound, the tower base shattered in response.

The rift on the tower top indeed closed slowly, the suction also weakened accordingly, and disappeared completely after a few breaths.

Elder Liu had not yet had time to be happy when silver light flashed before his eyes.

It was more than a hundred sword shadows stabbing down from above his head.

He dodged with a flash, but the sword formation followed like a shadow, chasing him faster and faster.

Elder Liu tried to drill into the ground to leave several times, but found that his escape technique was still malfunctioning.

That's right, the lighthouse barrier was broken, but Miao Miao Zhantian himself was here, so how could He allow the disciples of the Mirage Immortal Sect to come and go as they pleased?

True Person Cangxi's offensive was intense and continuous; Elder Liu could not even take out his pen to draw a portal.

Of course, with Miao Miao Zhantian present, it was unknown whether the Spirit Immortal Pen was still useful.

The lighthouse ruins moved, and a figure leaped up, striking directly at the back of True Person Cangxi, who had just landed.

Elder Xu had escaped his predicament and came full of fury.

Elder Liu shouted loudly: "Run! Go find the Sect Master!"

Elder Xu turned a deaf ear; the axe was swung faster than before, every move was a force capable of splitting a thousand jun, the axe wind was several zhang wide, as if it had substance, and hitting the ground could fiercely plow out more than ten zhang.

His death-defying momentum made the other two heavenly demons who rushed over also avoid his edge.

Elder Liu, however, knew that the situation was extremely dangerous. He was just about to risk rushing over to join Elder Xu, when Elder Xu's axe flew toward him.

This axe originally came in a pair, but Elder Xu was injured and could only hold the axe with one hand.

Elder Liu reached out and caught the axe, only to find a rune glowing on the axe handle.

"Shift."

This was the technique of shifting form and changing position!

Sure enough, the next second, both he and the axe had changed positions, and he was now at the bottom of a dirt slope two miles away.

It turned out that Elder Xu had hidden the other axe here beforehand.

Elder Liu's ears were still ringing with Elder Xu's last words:

"Go!"

He flew into mid-air and looked back at the Banqiu direction, only to see it scarred and devastated.

In truth, it had nowhere to go. The Inverted Sea was sealed by Qianhuan's divine ability, so it wasn't certain it could get out; there were no suitable skins for it within the cave dwelling, unless Miaozhantian had spares.

As if sensing his gaze, True Person Cangxi looked at him, then slapped his palm onto Elder Xu's crown.

But the scene of brains bursting did not appear, because in the instant before this palm fell, white light emerged from Elder Xu's seven orifices in advance.

Although that light was exceptionally dazzling, Elder Liu still watched without blinking, seeing Elder Xu transform into a ball of white light, and then into an inward-sucking black hole.

Soul self-detonation!

The range was so large that it covered the entire Banqiu.

"Old Four Xu!"

Elder Liu's eyes were splitting, and hatred surged in his heart like a spring. Old Four Xu had given the chance of survival to him, while he himself embraced the enemy and perished.

The two of them had been fellow villagers since childhood, had entered the same sect, and had helped each other on the path of cultivation, not knowing how many strong enemies they had joined forces to beat back; they had long been like brothers.

But he knew that even the power of an immortal's Primordial Spirit self-detonation could not kill Miao Miao Zhantian.

Old Four Xu had risked his life to send him out, and would definitely not want him to rush back alone to throw his life away.

Elder Liu gritted his teeth, summoned the Haoyuan Golden Mirror, and stepped back in.

Just as Elder Liu exited the mirror, Xiao Wencheng came to greet him and asked: "What happened at Banqiu?"

He and He He Lingchuan stood before the mirror and could see that the Banqiu lighthouse had extinguished and collapsed, and the barrier had disappeared, but the scene of the battle between True Person Cangxi and the Illusion Sect elders was always shrouded in clouds and mist, still giving the feeling of looking at people through frosted glass; they only knew there were shadows moving inside, but could not see clearly.

He had the heart to go personally, but everything happened too fast, and it was all over in a few seconds.

Now the image in the mirror was clear, but he could not see any fighting, and the Illusion Sect elders were nowhere to be seen, yet there was a huge deep pit in the lighthouse ruins, which made Xiao Wencheng's heart jump with fear.

Behind the original Banqiu lighthouse, there was still a portion of the army, some from the Heavenly Palace, some from the Illusion Sect, everyone's face filled with horror and confusion.

Was that scene just now something that should appear in the human world? "Miao Miao Zhantian took action personally!" Elder Liu gritted his teeth, and his first sentence made everyone look at each other in dismay, "He used the body of True Person Cangxi!"

"What?" Xiao Wencheng gasped, "True Person Cangxi!"

He He Lingchuan's gaze swept across the mirror surface; was Miao Miao Zhantian finally starting to show His trump cards? The progress of the war was about to accelerate from here.

Ancient immortals were numerous, and they were rarely heard of in the present world. But upon hearing the name of True Person Cangxi, He He Lingchuan felt it was like thunder in his ears.

He had heard the name of this great immortal a long time ago in a public lecture at Panlong City, because True Person Cangxi was the founder of the Mountain-Moving Array and the Small Mountain-Moving Array.

His understanding of spatial divine powers must have far surpassed other immortals. It was truly a pity that such a master fell in the early stages of the Immortal-Demon War.

He He Lingchuan still remembered Dean Xu of the Shumin Academy saying that at that time, the heavenly demons had just invaded this world, and the immortals did not understand them, thinking they were just ordinary demons that could be driven away with a wave of the hand, and then suffered a great loss because of their carelessness.

Perhaps at that time, it was because True Person Cangxi looked down on the Lingxu Holy Venerable, and the opponent started with a sneak attack, that True Person Cangxi drank hatred and was defeated, and even his body was taken away by others.

"True Person Cangxi fell under the hands of the Lingxu Holy Venerable, and his body was likely taken away as well, to be raised as a skin-bag for the heavenly demons!" Elder Liu said with grief, "Several fellow disciples have, have all sacrificed themselves; Old Four Xu risked his life to save me, otherwise..."

Otherwise, the five of them would have been wiped out.

This sentence was truly earth-shattering.

Xiao Wencheng's figure swayed, his blood surged, and his face turned red.

Gone? Within a dozen breaths, the four great immortals of the Illusion Sect were just gone without a sound?

How could this be! If they couldn't win, couldn't they escape?

These fellow sect members of his understood fighting and self-preservation more deeply than anyone else. Even if the Immortal Venerable took action personally, wanting to keep four immortals at once was extremely difficult.

It was precisely because of this that he dared to send five immortals to attack Banqiu at once.
