Chapter 273

"Ha—!"

A sound of exhaling came from above. The Yinming Fujun opened his mouth and spat out black-purple nether Qi. In an instant, a torrential flood of nether Qi surged down from the high sky like a descending heavenly river.

Countless amounts of nether Qi rippled out in the high sky; wherever it passed, plants and animals withered and died.

The next instant, all the withered plants and animals took on a grayish-white hue, as if something were surging beneath their skin.

"Hiss—!"

Hissing roars erupted suddenly, one after another. The dead creatures were covered in red lines, their bodies splitting open everywhere to reveal sharp fangs, and they roared as they slaughtered their way toward the eight million soldiers.

The Dizu Huangzun waved the Immortal King Scripture in his hand, and countless streaks of black light dispersed, grinding these grayish-white creatures into dust.

But the next moment, all the dust began to flow slowly, and in the blink of an eye, the grayish-white creatures reappeared.

The Imperial Teacher brandished his sword, "Zhou Tian Star Dou Array! Exterminate them!"

As the words fell, three hundred and sixty-five pillars of light rose from the perimeter, transforming into a giant web of starlight that descended to shroud and trap the grayish-white creatures.

In the center of the valley, Qin Jiang's gaze locked onto the Yinming Fujun.

Although it was only a corpse, it had to be said that the Yinming Fujun was truly too strong in his lifetime, absolutely a presence comparable to the peak of the Immortal King realm.

Even now, as just a corpse, it was a presence no weaker than the mid-stage of the Immortal King realm.

And for him right now, dealing with a mid-stage Immortal King was still somewhat of a struggle.

The most headache-inducing part was that the Yinming Fujun's corpse was still constantly reviving, which meant its strength was continuously increasing.

Although the speed of the increase was not fast, he also had no means to seal the opponent in a short period of time.

Unless the opponent stood still and let him set up ten White Gold Heavenly Tripod Arrays in succession.

But this was impossible; apart from him, no one could control the Yinming Fujun's corpse.

Boom—! A mass of nether Qi suddenly exploded in the high sky. The Yinming Fujun passed through the nether Qi, his rotting body recovering a bit more, and one could vaguely make out that face, perfect to the point of being indistinguishable in gender.

He leaned down and dove, extending a hand to form the Earth-Suppressing Seal.

Instantly, a terrifying pressure descended, cracks appeared on the Fuxi Bagua Array, and even the Dizu Huangzun's figure sank a bit.

Qin Jiang stood firm, throwing a punch with ferocity, the white gold airflow vibrating and blowing away the sky-filling nether Qi.

Fist and palm met, the valley beneath Qin Jiang's feet shattered instantly, and that vortex passage leading to the Difu expanded a bit.

Suddenly pausing for an instant, the two massive figures blurred in an instant, and they exchanged ten thousand blows in the blink of an eye.

Boom—! The combined force of tens of thousands of punches erupted, changing the terrain for a radius of ten thousand miles, almost leveling it to the ground; only the areas covered by the great array remained intact.

Qin Jiang raised his arms, grabbed the Yinming Fujun's shoulders, and pulled with force; the Yinming Fujun was dragged to the ground.

The two launched fierce attacks; Qin Jiang raised his hand and grabbed, a phantom white gold giant tripod appeared and smashed down toward the Yinming Fujun.

The Yinming Fujun raised his hand and waved, and a book formed by the laws of the Earth Dao appeared, with the three large characters "Life and Death Book" written on it.

Nether light flickered, shattering the giant tripod.

The next instant, the nether light attacked Qin Jiang's head; Qin Jiang's head exploded with a boom, but then instantly restored itself.

Raising his hand again, another giant tripod smashed down, smashing the Yinming Fujun's body into pulp.

Nether light flashed, and the Yinming Fujun recovered as before.

Outside the two, the Imperial Teacher held a crimson longsword, searching for an opportunity to strike, but found that he had no chance to launch an attack at all.

Not only him, but even the Dizu Huangzun was waiting for an opportunity, the main body of the Great Wind Book in his hand surging with black brilliance.

At this moment, all the powerhouses on the continent were watching this place; at this time, they temporarily set aside their mutual grudges, seeking only to help this white gold giant defeat the rotting corpse giant.

As time passed, the battle between the white gold giant and the rotting corpse giant remained intense; the battlefield range had spanned one hundred thousand miles, and wherever it passed, immortal sects were destroyed, and more than one Saint Lord-level figure was killed or injured. The Dizu Huangzun's face was filled with worry; as the presence on the continent today whose true realm was closest to a flawless Immortal King, he could see that Qin Jiang was gradually falling into a disadvantage.

Moreover, the Yinming Fujun's strength had not weakened, but was instead continuously increasing.

After a moment of silence, he gripped the Great Wind Book in his hand, his gaze landing on a humanoid mechanical beast not far away.

"Valley Master Nongyan, the Yinming Fujun is immortal and indestructible; he can only be temporarily sealed using a sealing method.

I will sacrifice the Immortal King Scripture to seek an opportunity for Immortal Lord Qin to strike; I ask the Valley Master to take the chance to control the Yinming Fujun.

With just the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Immortal Lord Qin will be able to set up a peerless array to seal him."

The voice transmission reached inside the mechanical beast, and Dao Lord Nongyan did not hesitate at all, "Please rest assured, Imperial Venerable, even if it means the complete destruction of the Medicine King Venerable, I will definitely control the Yinming Fujun for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea!"

The Dizu Huangzun nodded slightly and then sent voice transmissions to the other major Holy Lands and Dao Lands that had arrived.

After finishing all this, he looked at the "Great Wind Book" in his hand and glanced toward the direction of the Imperial City.

Ancestors, please forgive my sins.

Heaven has sent down a burden, and I must act! With this thought, determination appeared in his eyes, and the seven-colored immortal light around his body surged, merging into one with the Immortal King Scripture.

In an instant, his momentum climbed step by step, and the seven-colored immortal light was almost about to produce an eighth color.

"Fellow Daoist!"

He shouted loudly, and Qin Jiang understood instantly, ignoring the Yinming Fujun's offensive, and kicked the opponent with force.

The Yinming Fujun staggered and almost fell; before he could adjust his posture, a black dragon that had become almost tangible had already pounced and killed.

The next moment, the black dragon exploded, like a real creature exploding, flesh and blood splattering and landing on the Yinming Fujun, instantly burning holes into the Yinming Fujun's physical body.

Pieces of dragon scales embedded in his body radiated brilliance, connecting into one piece and temporarily controlling his figure.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Heavy footsteps sounded, the Medicine King Venerable ran over, the fire of origin burning on his body; that was Dao Lord Nongyan burning his origin.

Arriving with force, his arms directly embraced the Yinming Fujun, his legs locking the thighs, suppressing the Yinming Fujun's movements in the most ancient way.

The Yinming Fujun struggled with his body, and three beams of light rose from the directions of the Luotian Pavilion, Taiyin Dao Land, and Linglong Dao Land, landing on him in an instant.

Frost, starlight, and colorful light, three types of radiance bound him.

The figures of Immortal Monarch Linglong and Immortal Monarch Taiyin appeared above his head, a full moon dripping cold air, causing a layer of ice crystals to form on his body.

In the Western Region, a golden mountain rose, a phantom of a Buddha appeared, and from afar, a palm descended, a layer of golden light transforming into Sanskrit chains on the Yinming Fujun's body.

A little further away, infinite demon Qi surged, and a phantom of a giant python flew over, coiling around the Yinming Fujun's body.

In the Southern Region, three Holy Land radiances shone, converging into one place and transforming into a green lotus that flew over, emitting a terrifying Sword Dao aura.

The green lotus suppressed downward, directly taking root at the center of the Yinming Fujun's brow.

Qin Jiang did not hesitate and struck in an instant; ten white gold giant tripods appeared and rotated above the Yinming Fujun, mysterious runes falling one by one, transforming into a part of a heaven-shocking array.

"Valley Master! Retreat quickly!" The Dizu Huangzun shouted.

"Do not worry about this old man! Suppress me together with him!" The overlapping voice of a youth and an old man sounded, carrying a desperate resolve that disregarded everything.

White gold brilliance descended, transforming into infinite chains that shrouded the Yinming Fujun along with the Medicine King Venerable, forming a huge elliptical cage.

The sound of iron chains rubbing against the ground rang out, the cage gradually shrank and landed in the white gold giant's palm.

Afterward, the white gold giant dove headfirst into the Difu vortex.
