Chapter 530
Even though Purple Silence Demon Monarch's cultivation far surpasses hers.
Qingxia Daoist this time chose to take the initiative to strike, only to see her, as she chanted, the Ten Thousand Wheels of Reincarnation Diagram in her hand suddenly float up, vast reincarnation divine light drifting and swaying as it swept toward Purple Silence Demon Venerable.
Amidst the vast purple-black demonic aura, a towering figure stood in the void, boundless purple-black demonic light flowing around her body, beneath her feet blooming a purple-black lotus flower.
Sensing that the vast reincarnation divine light contained an overbearing Great Dao immortal method aura, her expression slightly changed, her form transforming into a streak of purple-black demonic light as she swiftly retreated.
But in an instant she planted her feet, her gaze sweeping over the surrounding spacetime.
Yet she saw that the boundless spacetime at this moment had already been silently completely controlled by some unknown force, beneath her feet lay a diffuse chart of the Four Extremes and Eight Wastelands, invisible divine diagram, the boundless spacetime Great Dao laws rushing past, yet forming one after another enormous spacetime reincarnation rings.
This spacetime ring isolates the myriad heavens void.
At the same time a unique spacetime majesty pressed down from above, with her cultivation she actually felt as if sinking into a mire.
This feeling was like an ordinary mortal falling into the divine domain of some deity.
But such a situation should be impossible to occur with the two of them.
Especially since her cultivation was still far superior to the opponent's.
A thought turned in her mind, sensing that cramped Dao-seed law space, a hint of unprecedented solemnity flashed in her eyes.
Innate Spiritual Treasure!
Only an Innate Spiritual Treasure could produce such an advantage.
……
In the Jade Glazed World, after Zhang Jian rescued the Lotus Flower Fairy, he let his gaze fall upon the heaven and earth of the Jade Glazed World, preparing to strike and remove those demon realm anchor points one by one.
For Zhang Jian, this was actually not easy.
Because the Jade Glazed World was not his home turf.
To search out all the demon realm anchor points in the shortest time was difficult.
However Zhang Jian also had his own methods.
The divine power of the Earth Emperor's authority, as he swiftly skimmed over the land, gradually merged into the deep earth origin of the Jade Glazed World.
Crushing divine power spread like a flood, numerous mountains, rivers, and sacred peaks swiftly came under his control.
"Still not enough!"
Only Zhang Jian felt that this refining speed was still not fast enough.
In the moment of thought, he activated the authority of the Nine Nether Emperor, two layers of divine light bursting forth from around his body, as if transforming into the yin-yang symbol.
Zhang Jian simultaneously employed the fifth-rank immortal art Soul-Snaring Technique.
Increasing numbers of yin soldiers and ghost deities, as well as many deities of the Jade Glazed World, were forcibly apprehended by him and brought forth.
Strands of divine light, including netherworld ghost deities, mountain and river deities, and numerous wronged yin souls and evil spirits swiftly gathered around his body.
Beneath the vast divine light, deities one after another involuntarily prostrated themselves.
"I am the Origin Emperor of the Three Yuan Spirit Officials Palace of the Heavenly Realm, today I have come by heavenly decree to rescue you all; if you wish to smoothly enter reincarnation, or alternatively follow this deity to leave the Jade Glazed World, then you know the demon realm gates, the ancient demon apertures—pass through them!"
Upon hearing this, the deities all rejoiced.
One deity whose body flowed with intense starlight divine radiance immediately stepped forward, respectfully saying.
"Senior deity, this junior deity is the capital king of the Jade Glazed World, this junior deity knows the whereabouts of some demon realm gates!"
Shortly after, a female ghost in red bridal robes, her body entwined with boundless malevolent qi, flew out from among them.
"Emperor, this immortal also knows the whereabouts of several extraterritorial ghost deity gates!"
This is a ferocious ghost king whose cultivation can rival a true immortal.
Zhang Jian's suppression of the Carefree Heavenly Venerable this 'overlord' was seen by all the immortals and deities, who naturally would not oppose him, although they were somewhat half-believing of Zhang Jian's words.
Not far away, at this moment a small old man in yellow robes, his body surging with demonic qi, his eyes flashing with a trembling hue, upon hearing the words also spoke.
"This small old man is the essence of the earth given form, likewise mastering earth authority, and has likewise discovered many earth demon apertures, willing to guide the Emperor to the demon aperture locations!"
His eyes held a hint of shrewdness.
Compared to others, this earth spirit was actually more trusting of Zhang Jian.
Its cultivation years still preceded those of the Carefree Heavenly Venerable, a giant of this side's great realm, its cultivation being the highest among the deities present, and it could more keenly sense the overbearing nature of this heavenly realm Emperor before it.
Its divine authority flowed like the scorching sun across the sky, far more overbearing than the ancient demon gods born of the Jade Glazed World!
Such beings would have no need to deceive these local snakes.
Zhang Jian's gaze fell upon this yellow-clothed small old earthly one.
On this yellow-clothed small old man's body the earth origin was abnormally rich, plus there was a layer of intense innate origin aura.
It should be an earth spirit given form.
An earth spirit nurtured by innate origins is indeed rare, barely counting as having stepped into the threshold of innate deities.
Zhang Jian glanced at these immortals and deities, selecting some from among them, indeed they could also be brought into the Central Heavenly Realm, or alternatively left for the lower realm's Great Xia Dynasty.
In the moment of thought, Zhang Jian's form transformed into a streak of flowing light flying toward the nearest extraterritorial gate.
That was a heavenly demon altar.
The heavenly demon altar had already taken shape, inside there was already a powerful one of the extraterritorial heavenly demon clan descended, only this extraterritorial heavenly demon currently showed no movement.
It appeared it should be hiding, recovering its cultivation.
Yet it could not escape Zhang Jian's notice.
His vast divine sense swept over the void, in an instant a vast divine power transformed into a giant hand seizing the demonic shadow hidden in the depths of the firmament, the demon star in the heavens, and pulling it forth into the open.
That was a heavenly immortal-level extraterritorial heavenly demon, under Zhang Jian's divine power transformation, directly refined in form by the Yin Yang Refining Shape Divine Light, and simultaneously with a wave of his hand striking down from above the firmament a lofty falling heavenly demon star.
Innate divine light shot straight to heaven and earth, as if Hou Yi shooting down the suns.
Such a sight shook heaven and earth, also causing many extraterritorial heavenly demons to sense it.
At this moment before a sect where only two or three big and small cats remained.
Jade Lotus Sect.
The Lotus Immortal Maiden appeared out of thin air, her body surrounded by a surging layer of immortal divine light, and at this moment, she was still continuously merging with her celestial form from the heavenly realm.
With the complete awakening of her memories, the Lotus Immortal Maiden's expression grew increasingly puzzled.
In her impression, there was no such divine title as the Spirit Source Emperor Lord.
However, judging from the other party's conduct and actions, as well as the subsequent act of returning her true form, it was clearly not an impostor.
"I don't know where this Emperor Lord comes from, but his cultivation is terrifyingly formidable—I fear he may not be weaker than those ancient celestial gods and emperors of the Heavenly Court!"
The Lotus Immortal Maiden silently shook her head.
She merely assumed he was some ancient celestial god transferred from another heavenly realm.
At this moment, she gazed upon the declining sect before her and immediately stepped inside.
On another side, above the firmament, demon stars were rapidly dimming.
With this information from the local power brokers, Zhang Jian's speed instantly increased significantly.
Numerous extradimensional demon gods, extradimensional ghost gods, extradimensional demon gods, as well as numerous ancient demon springs and ancient demon apertures, are malignant tumors born in the native world, and also anchor points through which extradimensional forces devour the native world's origin.
Since their formation, they have continuously devoured the origin of the native great world, and are still constantly tearing apart the native world's defensive layers.
As one after another extradimensional demon gate, ancient demon aperture, and ancient demon spring was forcibly pierced by Zhang Jian using the Innate Yin-Yang Annihilation Divine Light, the Glazed Glass World resembled a brief revival before death, and the power of the Heavenly Dao laws began to manifest, surrounding Zhang Jian and granting him twice the result with half the effort.
"It seems I have again become the Heavenly Dao's Son of a great world—alas, the time for redemption is too late; yet, there remains hope to help this world undergo Nirvana rebirth and survive the Void Calamity!"
In the depths of the void, Zhang Jian's divine light surged around him; with a gesture, he condensed the Yin-Yang Great Dao law into a divine spear, slaying an extradimensional fire demon in the Earth's Core Fire Sea.
His act of salvation dispelled the Glazed Glass World's hostility toward him, and by taking salvation as a guide, he smoothly gained the favor of the native world's Heaven and Earth origin.
Yet, by relying on the power of Heaven and Earth origin, Zhang Jian could increasingly sense the 'feebleness' of the Glazed Glass World!
Its Heaven and Earth origin had already been depleted!
The treasury is empty—how could it possibly fill the losses everywhere?
Most critically, it coincides with the Heavenly Four Calamities; the Void Calamity among the formation, existence, decay, and emptiness is approaching.
After surviving the Decay Calamity, the Glazed Glass World had already weakened to a certain degree; now, the qi of the Boundless Decline Calamity is recondensing, gradually exerting pressure, affecting the operation of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao laws of the Glazed Glass World, causing it to continuously collapse.
Once this collapse time arrives, the Glazed Glass World will have no foundation left to reshape heaven and earth.
It will become the corpse of a dead great world, ultimately divided and devoured by extradimensional heavenly demons, or extradimensional demon gods, or even numerous immortals and gods.
This is his tragic state.
The root of it all should still be the Carefree Heavenly Venerable.
The Carefree Heavenly Venerable's continuous act of bleeding the Glazed Glass Realm has led the Glazed Glass World successfully toward decline.
Weakened beyond endurance and perished!
Zhang Jian also has no good solution, unless a great being sacrifices their own origin to mend heaven, or finds a way to draw out the various calamity qi formed in the Glazed Glass World.
But it is obvious that Zhang Jian currently does not possess such ability.
This difficulty is no less than reopening a world.
Zhang Jian, however, maintains a calm mind; even as an innate deity, he cannot be omniscient and omnipotent.
In the long course of time, there will always be many regrets and things beyond one's power.
He can only do his best to avoid letting those he cares about escape these tragedies.
Relying on the support of the Glazed Glass World's Heaven and Earth origin, Zhang Jian resolved the vast majority of the demon sect gates and anchor points left by the Black Abyss Demon Realm in the Glazed Glass Realm.
Zhang Jian knows he cannot complete the entire purification in an extremely short time.
There will inevitably be omissions.
But these omissions no longer affect the overall situation.
With so many demon realm anchor points removed, the Black Abyss Demon Realm finds it difficult to swallow the Glazed Glass World in a short time, thus granting our side more redemption time.
In the depths of the void, Zhang Jian gazed upon the vast expanse of heaven and earth, watching the scattered clouds above the firmament.
At this moment, the Glazed Glass Realm resembled a brief revival before death; deep in the firmament, countless auspicious signs appeared, purple qi arose from within, as if celebrating the restoration of peace upon the earth, with numerous malignant tumors removed.
"There is still one main task remaining!"
Zhang Jian secretly thought in his heart.
Find the traces of the Lotus King.
Actually, Zhang Jian knows that at this moment, taking advantage of the situation to establish the Heavenly Gate, and striving to redeem the Glazed Glass Realm, upon completing the redemption of this realm, he will surely gain even more.
But since it is requested by the Qingxiao Dao Lord, he naturally believes she has her reasons.
At this moment, the Glazed Glass Realm's Heaven and Earth Dao laws favor him, and he also possesses the important relic left by the Lotus King.
That is, the Nine Heavens Azure Lotus Diagram on the body of the Carefree Heavenly Venerable; finding the Lotus King's traces is merely a matter of time for Zhang Jian.
However, Zhang Jian faintly senses that someone certainly also knows part of the clues.
This is a kind of innate intuition.
Zhang Jian directly summoned the Lotus Immortal Maiden.
"Lotus Daoist, do you know the whereabouts of the Lotus King's traces?"
"Is the Emperor Lord also here for the Lotus King's traces?"
The Lotus Immortal Maiden's expression showed slight surprise; upon her words, Zhang Jian's eyes already revealed a trace of understanding—she clearly knows the whereabouts of the Lotus King's traces.
Zhang Jian did not conceal it, speaking directly.
"Indeed, I have heard that the Lotus King was an innate demon god from ancient times, with profound cultivation; after his fall, all his personal belongings remained in the Glazed Glass World. I wish to take them to strengthen my cultivation. If you know, please do not withhold the information!"
The Lotus Immortal Maiden's eyes showed some hesitation, but after a moment, she made up her mind.
The Glazed Glass World is on the verge of destruction; even if she wished to conceal it, the Lotus King's traces could not be preserved for long.
As the Glazed Glass World collapses, the Lotus King's traces will inevitably emerge, and will surely attract numerous powerful beings to seize them.
If they fall into outsiders' hands, it would be better if they fell into the hands of heavenly realm immortals and gods.
Moreover, this Spirit Source Emperor Lord has shown her kindness by saving her!
The Lotus Immortal Maiden said: "I do indeed know the whereabouts of the Lotus King's relics, but to open that relic requires the Nine Heavens Azure Lotus Diagram, which was originally in my possession, but later fell into the hands of the Carefree Heavenly Venerable..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian immediately took out the Nine Heavens Azure Lotus Diagram.
Only to see the treasure map unfurl, with one azure lotus after another swaying and growing from its center, the lotus leaves emerald green, each lotus pod tender and dewy, immortal light flowing, a thin mist of light surging forth, as if capable of engulfing the vast heavens and earth.
This is a supreme treasure.
Upon seeing the Nine Heavens Azure Lotus Diagram, the Lotus Immortal Maiden's jade countenance flickered with slight surprise, then she understood; although she harbored hope in her heart, she could not directly ask for it, merely imparting the activation method to Zhang Jian, and saying.
"The Nine Heavens Azure Lotus Diagram inherently conceals the marvels of the Lotus King's relics; once refined, one can naturally sense the whereabouts of the Lotus King's relics!"
The Lotus Immortal Maiden's eyes held a hint of complex emotion.
Her relationship with the ancient Lotus King is quite special, yet whether before attaining immortality or after reincarnation, she has never been able to obtain the Lotus King's mantle and bowl.
After reincarnation, she painstakingly found the Nine Heavens Azure Lotus Diagram, only to have it seized by the Carefree Heavenly Venerable.
However, the Carefree Heavenly Venerable did not know the diagram's hidden marvels, only knowing it was the Lotus King's creation artifact, but not understanding its most precious aspect.
And now, it has fallen into the hands of the Lingyuan Emperor Sovereign.
At this moment, as the Lotus Immortal Maiden revealed the treasure-refining method, Zhang Jian, after slightly refining the Nine Heavens Azure Lotus Diagram, also had a thread of intense divine light burst forth in his eyes.
The power of this Nine Heavens Azure Lotus Diagram truly exceeds imagination.
Within it seems to contain the power of creation.
From it he saw countless chaos surging, breaking apart into earth, water, wind, and fire, a magnificent azure lotus blooming within, drawing upon all chaos and the Dao's laws, from which it condensed the seed of a magnificent universe, its power vast.
Creation and destruction coexist.
"This is actually a postnatal spirit treasure!"
At this moment, within Zhang Jian's body, the State and Altar Cauldron emitted an astonished sound, its words carrying a hint of incredulous expression.
"Young man Zhang, your fortune is too good, just stepping out casually and picking up such a bargain? Could it be that you are truly the darling of heaven and earth?"
