Chapter 420: True Martial Subdues Demons!

At the same moment that Xuangui Baxia sensed danger.

Su Ping, as its master, sensed the danger as well.

And since it could threaten Xuangui Baxia, which possessed multiple defensive Secret Techniques, it was clear that the opponent's attack came from a Ninth Tier source or perhaps even an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Su Ping immediately released the Bronze Ghost Mask, Filthy Evil World.

Although this Bronze Ghost Mask was somewhat reluctant, it still obeyed the order and appeared in front of Xuangui Baxia in an instant.

Then, it took a black beam of divine light shot from that card face-on.

With the first strike failing, the small card immediately vanished on the spot.

The Bronze Ghost Mask, however, had its mouth split open to its ears, and following that contact, it cast a curse back.

This Evil World curse entered the Heise Xianzhou and quickly began to take effect inside the Immortal Boat.

Cultivators in various side halls, unaware of what was happening outside, soon felt physical discomfort and began to experience hallucinations.

This caused even more problems for the operation of the Heise Xianzhou, which already had issues with its Array.

However, the Bronze Ghost Mask's curse was blocked after it approached the central area.

Sensing that the curse had been suddenly interrupted, the Bronze Ghost Mask clicked its tongue before flying back to Su Ping's side:

"The opponent has a trace of the North King Demon Venerable's aura remaining on them."

"And they also have an Innate Supreme Treasure that has already been bound to them for protection."

"If a real fight breaks out, Master must get serious."

Su Ping smiled faintly at these words, and after nodding.

He deliberately did not use his trump card immediately.

Instead, he continued to use his magic treasure to broadcast the live scene for the busybodies of the Xuanling World to watch.

At the same time, he did not mind the busybodies spreading the word about the live broadcast.

He even provided them with convenience regarding the Array.

This was a battle against a Heavenly Immortal Realm combatant from the North King Time Domain.

But it was also a battle of prestige that Su Ping had prepared.

Therefore, before using his trump card, Su Ping hoped to let the opponent's power be displayed as much as possible.

Only by defeating a powerful enemy could he better prove his own ability, thereby forcing the outside world to acknowledge his strength.

"Filthy Evil World?"

"There were rumors before that this strange Innate Supreme Treasure had fallen into the hands of the Profound Martial Sect."

"It seems the rumors were true."

"However, relying on this Innate Supreme Treasure that hasn't even been bound yet, you cannot suppress my Destiny Card."

The Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family shook his head slightly, and then a constantly rotating card appeared in his hand.

This card flashed colors several times.

Finally, it settled on gray.

Then, in the gray card frame, an image of over a hundred gray ghost shadows stacked together appeared.

Each of these gray ghost shadows had once been a renowned prodigy in the North King Time Domain.

They were then actively sought out by the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family, and under the temptation of his vast resources and divine Secret Techniques, they signed a contract with his Innate Supreme Treasure, the Destiny Card.

With the support of the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family, if they could break through the Great Vehicle Realm and enter the Heavenly Immortal Realm, the contract would naturally be voided, and the resources would be treated as a goodwill investment by the Old Heavenly Immortal to befriend them.

But if they failed to break through and no longer had any possibility of further advancement.

Then, the primordial spirits of these prodigies would be absorbed by the Destiny Card due to the contract and crafted into card spirits enslaved by the card.

These hundred-plus gray ghost shadows were the Destiny Card spirits accumulated by the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family over thousands of years.

After being released, these gray ghost shadows were like bloodthirsty evil spirits, immediately leaving no living soul within a thousand miles.

The remaining cultivators on the Heise Xianzhou were clearly not enough for these gray ghost shadows to devour.

They quickly gathered in the front, restless, radiating intense greed toward the direction of the Xuanling World.

That greed was so intense that even the various cultivators watching the live broadcast from hundreds of millions of miles away felt terror from the bottom of their hearts!

One hundred and eight Great Vehicle Realm ghost shadows!

Seeing this scene, the three words "we are doomed" flashed through the minds of some cultivators:

"It's over, we're really going to die here this time!"

"Is this the means and accumulation of a veteran Heavenly Immortal?"

"Summoning so many helpers at once! Damn it! Even if these ghost shadows lack physical bodies and Divine Soul reinforcement, and have no magic treasures or divine weapons, their true strength cannot compare to a real Great Vehicle Dao Lord."

"But this numerical advantage! Plus the other means of that Old Heavenly Immortal..."

"I'm afraid that Savior Heavenly Venerable is regretting it now, right?"

"Right, quickly tell the sect not to look at the Jade Slip we sent!"

"Under the divination of a Heavenly Immortal, anyone who has seen this content will inevitably be hunted down to the last!"

Some old cultivators also shuddered at this moment, thinking of a certain terrifying future.

Previously, it was because there was also a Heavenly Immortal acting behind the Xuanling World, so they, the onlookers, were watching the excitement and betting on their own futures.

But now... the outcome seemed already visible.

They immediately wanted to minimize their losses as much as possible.

And in front of the Heise Xianzhou.

As they devoured the surrounding Spirit Qi, a Spirit Qi vortex formed.

The gray ghost shadows each transformed into thousand-meter-long, gaunt ghost shadows.

Their aura was also almost indistinguishable from that of ordinary Great Vehicle Realm powerhouses.

With so many Great Vehicle Realm ghosts, and still under the control of an Innate Supreme Treasure, they are difficult to be affected by other divine abilities and Secret Techniques.

It is no wonder that cultivators in the outside world would become so desperate after seeing them.

Su Ping saw that the opponent had unleashed their trump card.

Furthermore, the main body of that Innate Supreme Treasure should have been teleported over as well, rather than being some one-time projection.

After Su Ping's Primordial Spirit Avatar appeared on the head of Xuangui Baxia and sat cross-legged.

Facing the incoming gray ghost shadows, he maintained a gentle and calm demeanor and slowly extended his right hand.

Snap!

Su Ping snapped his fingers crisply!

Immediately, the Queen of Void hiding behind Su Ping cooperated by using a sliver of Void Divine Power from Xukong Shengdian.

Relying on the enhancement of this sliver of Void Divine Power.

In the direction where the gray ghost shadows were charging, a black hole with a diameter of over ten thousand miles suddenly appeared!

This black hole was like a two-dimensional product with no thickness at all.

Yet, the moment it appeared, it generated a suction force that everything nearby—space, Spirit Qi, living beings, and even the gray ghost shadows—could not resist.

In an instant, it sucked everything within a radius of ten thousand miles into the black hole, and then they vanished without a trace.

Boom!

The card of the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family vibrated wildly at that moment.

It tried to stop the divine ability of the black hole, but ended up suffering a backlash and exploding itself!

Although it recovered in the air immediately after.

The Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family could see that his Innate Supreme Treasure had actually suffered heavy damage and had fallen into a semi-dormant state.

At the same time, the card had also lost all of its Fate Card Spirits!

Under the strike of that abruptly appearing black hole, the Fate Card Spirits were completely wiped out!

The Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family was likewise unable to understand what had just happened, and why an Innate Supreme Treasure that had recognized its master and could unleash one hundred percent of its divine ability could not protect the Fate Card Spirits.

This was something that even the thousands of ancient records of the Daoist sects had never warned the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family about!

Even in the face of the Dark Catastrophe.

Although the Innate Supreme Treasure could not contend with it, it could at least struggle a little and resist for a moment.

But against the black hole just now, the Fate Card was blasted apart before it could even struggle.

This... could it be that the power the opponent used was even more exaggerated than the Dark Catastrophe?

No... impossible!

How could such an absurd thing happen?

How could it be such a coincidence that he encountered it?

The cultivators in Xuanling World watching the live broadcast had not thought that far ahead yet.

They were just excited to see the side of the Savior Heavenly Venerable take away hundreds of Great Vehicle Realm ghosts in one strike!

Those were Great Vehicle Realm beings that could run rampant and dominate a region in the Xiayu!

Yet, in just this instant, they were all gone!

"Quick! Quickly send a message and have the sect help spread the peerless divine might of the Savior Heavenly Venerable!"

"Quick! Have the Sect Master come personally to pay respects to the Savior Heavenly Venerable! Even if we cannot be his lackeys, we must not be disliked!"

The cultivators of Xuanling World became a flurry of activity.

And Su Ping's offensive naturally would not stop there.

The black hole, enhanced by the Queen of Void with that sliver of Void Divine Power, took the gray ghost shadows into Su Ping's Netherworld.

Having lost the protection of the Innate Supreme Treasure, these ghosts were temporarily suppressed within the Netherworld.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, behind Su Ping, the phantom of the True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor appeared, radiating Demon-Subduing Azure Light that shone onto the Heise Xianzhou.

Leaving the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family, who had thoughts of retreating, with no possibility of escape.

After the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family discovered he could not flee, he sighed, moved his body, and transformed into a ten-thousand-meter Dharma Form to face the True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor directly.

The Dharma Form of the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family looked like a three-eyed Daoist wearing a Daoist robe.

His left hand held a Copper Mirror, and his right hand supported a Treasure Vase.

Originally, it should have been a benevolent image.

But the demonic energy radiating from his body ruined this image.

And on his back, it was not a back, but another face with a different appearance.

That was the image of an evil ghost wearing a blood-red robe, also having three eyes, but revealing sharp fangs and teeth, with a ferocious expression and two horns on its head.

When this two-faced Daoist Dharma Form appeared, a black mist Yuanling spread out.

Even the Demon-Subduing Azure Light had to retreat again and again under this black mist Yuanling.

The power of the Ninth Tier could, after all, suppress the True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor, whose gap was too large, by relying on sheer quantity.

If it were before, Su Ping would have had to fight a war of attrition and slowly look for flaws when facing such a gap in realms.

He might even have had to run away first.

But now, with the Void Divine Power produced by Xukong Shengdian.

Even if he only used a sliver each time, it could make a qualitative difference to his divine abilities and ultimate techniques.

Su Ping's heart stirred, and he chose to give this opportunity to use the Divine Power to the True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor.

The True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor drew the True Martial Demon-Subduing Divine Sword.

Under the enhancement of the Void Divine Power.

Accompanied by a sound that resounded through the heavens and the earth:

"True Martial Subdues Demons!"

A brilliant beam of sword light caused every Cultivator in the entire Xiayu to feel something in that instant, and as they looked up, they saw the sky turn completely snow-white.

At this moment, whether they were in a Small World or in the Shikong Haiyu.

As long as they were in this Xiayu.

They could all see this brilliant sword strike, and see that seemingly endless snow-white.

The two-faced Dharma form of the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family revealed an expression of astonishment on both faces in that instant.

Deep within his mind, a thought had just emerged: Today, I am finally like a mayfly looking up to see the blue sky...

And then, there was no "then."

Whether it was the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family or the Heise Xianzhou, both were reduced to nothingness within the sword light.

Hum!

After the snow-white faded, space collapsed.

Following that, the surrounding space was pulled, stitched, and merged together.

However, high-level Cultivators could all calculate that this Shikong Haiyu was already missing a cubic space with a diameter of over ten thousand kilometers compared to before.

After the True Martial Subdues Demons Emperor struck with this sword, he had already exhausted his Divine Power and vanished.

Behind Su Ping, the Queen of Space suddenly reached out half her body and extended her small hand to gently grab toward the front.

She abruptly pulled a Blank Card out from the Space Crack.

Su Ping took one look and knew that this must be the Innate Supreme Treasure of that Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family.

It seemed it had also been heavily damaged, to the point that even if it wanted to escape, it could not escape the demonic grasp of the Queen of Space.

Su Ping was not polite either; he directly took this Innate Supreme Treasure and threw it into the Pot Heaven.

He severed its connection with the Heavenly Immortal who had claimed it as their own.

The difficulty of suppressing this Innate Supreme Treasure was thus reduced by a few degrees.

Plus, placing it beside the Xukong Shengdian.

Made this Innate Supreme Treasure much quieter and more obedient.

"..."

The Cultivators in the Xuanling World watching the live broadcast remained silent for a long, long time.

It was not until the live broadcast screen had already been gone for nearly half a stick of incense's time.

That some Cultivators finally woke up from their state of shock.

"That ten-thousand-meter Dharma form just now, that should be the Heavenly Immortal himself, right?"

"If not the true self, it was at least an important combat avatar! The impact that two-faced Dharma form had on the surrounding space when it appeared could not be faked!"

"That is a Heavenly Immortal! We in the Xiayu have wished for so many years, yet we have never been able to give birth to a single Heavenly Immortal."

"To think that such a big shot was just slaughtered like that!"

"The Savior Heavenly Venerable, could he be the Northern King Time Immortal Emperor of this generation?"

After some praise and admiration, a young Cultivator could not help but whisper his own realization.

It immediately caused the surrounding Cultivators to gasp in cold air.

Then, the more they thought about it, the more they felt this theory was actually possible!

The entire Xiayu fell into a state of excitement for a period of time thereafter.

Many hidden sects also emerged at this time, one after another sending teams to the Xuanling World, just hoping to have a chance to be a lackey under the Savior Heavenly Venerable.

For the Spirit Herbs sold by the Xuanling World, they were naturally not stingy with Spirit Stones.

This actually caused Su Ping's next few Auctions to see a thirty to forty percent increase in profit for the same amount of Spirit Herbs.

The news of Su Ping slaughtering the projection of the Old Heavenly Immortal also spread among the high-level figures of the Xiayu.

And inevitably, with the activity of merchant caravans and spies, it began to spread beyond the Xiayu.

In the Shikong Haiyu where the Golden Crow World was located.

A place where thousands of Daoist sects gathered.

In a Small Thousand World shaped like a bright green grape.

A blinding black light suddenly bloomed.

Causing this Small Thousand World to turn black in the blink of an eye.

The remaining small portion looked as if it were about to turn black as well.

A soft sigh sounded from outside the Small Thousand World, and then it spread throughout the entire Small Thousand World.

The black mist that had been eroding the Small World seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, and it retreated rapidly at high speed.

Following that, three Old Ancestors of the Daoist sects with immortal bearings rode on divine beast mounts resembling a Black Tortoise, a White Tiger, and a Vermilion Bird.

They suddenly appeared outside the world.

"Daoist Cao, you have ultimately fallen into the demonic path."

The Old Ancestor of the Daoist sect riding the White Tiger shook his head and spoke first.

As white light emerged from the three of them.

Not long after, the Dao Alliance sent out news to the surrounding forces.

The Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family practiced Evil Arts of the Demon Sect and suffered a cultivation deviation, having already transformed into a demon.

The Dao Alliance had no choice but to uphold righteousness and exterminate him!
