Chapter 610: The Unbreakable Defense (4K)

Although this top-grade innate spiritual treasure is in a damaged state, its power remains not to be underestimated.

Regarding suppression and sealing abilities, it may even surpass the middle-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Innate Creation Azure Lotus, within his body.

The Qiankun Diagram formed a vast expanse of Qiankun heaven and earth, with countless clear and yellow qi surging, the innate Qianyuan pure qi ancestral qi and the innate Kunyuan turbid qi ancestral qi intertwining, as if heaven and earth were converging, within which terrifying divine power was contained.

Even the Purple Silence Demon Monarch, caught off guard, was suddenly trapped within it.

However, Zhang Jian is very clear that although the innate spiritual treasure possesses immense power, it can only unleash two strikes.

After two strikes, this Purple Silence Demon Monarch will likely come to his senses.

With the power of a Dao Lord, he will surely be unable to withstand it then.

But he does not need to hold out for long; just a few moments will suffice for his reinforcements to arrive.

Zhang Jian steadied his mind, and at this moment, deep within his brow, another innate spiritual treasure, the Innate Creation Azure Lotus, continuously poured innate creation essence qi into the depths of his Earth Emperor Primordial Spirit.

Zhang Jian also fully activated the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram, merging it into the depths of the Qiankun world taking shape within the Qiankun Diagram.

"Innate spiritual treasure?"

Within the clear and yellow qi intertwined, a purple lotus stood alone in the void, detached from the world, independent, with countless purple qi spreading like a surging ocean, bringing with it a great scene of destruction.

Destroying layer upon layer of Qiankun clear and turbid chaos.

Yet in the Purple Silence Demon Monarch's eyes, there remained a trace of intense solemnity.

The power of the innate spiritual treasure, she naturally understood completely.

Last time, she suffered a great loss upon an innate spiritual treasure in the hands of the Qingxia Dao Lord, and for this, she had to sacrifice most of the Dao Lord's Dao fruits to escape that treasure.

She did not expect that this time, upon making a move, she would encounter an innate spiritual treasure once again.

At this moment, in her eyes lay a deep intensity of inquiry, and even more, a fervent eagerness.

If she could seize this innate spiritual treasure, she still had hope of returning to her peak, and even ascending further.

One innate spiritual treasure could reverse the fortune of a Dao Lord.

But she is also very clear now that the time left for her is not much.

This place is the Netherworld Underworld, and the opposing party is one of the Ten Great Netherworld Heavenly Sons, and still the chief spiritual official of the Pingxin Palace; once attacked, in a short time, powerful beings from the Pingxin Hall will arrive, and even the Empress Hou Tu herself may intervene.

Originally, she only wanted to seize this heavenly deity of the celestial court to return to the Black Abyss Demon Realm, regain the favor of that demon ancestor of the Black Abyss Demon Realm, and then restore her cultivation and status.

But now, if she could seize this innate spiritual treasure and offer it to the demon ancestor of the Black Abyss Demon Realm, it would likely please the demon ancestor and be beneficial for restoring her cultivation.

However, time is crucial for her.

In the depths of the void, the Purple Silence Demon Monarch's illusory form appeared, her pupils deep within flashing with intense purple light; in an instant, she made her decision.

A flash of ruthless color passed, and a deep purple Dao fruit appeared deep within her brow, instantly igniting layer upon layer of purple demonic flames, like a purple rising sun, which in an instant merged into the depths of the purple lotus.

At this moment, the demon monarch directly chose to sacrifice again the remaining source of the Dao Lord Dao fruits, in exchange for a several-fold increase in her divine powers within a moment.

The cost is that after this battle, she may fall from the Dao Lord realm and be forced to use secret arts to undergo rebirth.

Or perhaps gain the favor of the demon ancestor, then through a heaven-defying method, re-attain the Dao Lord Dao fruits.

If she fails, everything is better left unmentioned.

In that instant, the boundless void trembled, and the purple lotus transformed into a dazzling, blinding great destruction divine light that actually pierced through the clear and turbid qi world formed by the Qiankun Diagram, splitting and destroying.

The dimensional void formed by the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram was also annihilated by that ultimate destructive force.

Instantly, purple divine light appeared above Zhang Jian's head.

This result was completely beyond his expectations.

Even if damaged and passively activated, the innate spiritual treasure Qiankun Diagram is certainly not something that ordinary third-rank, fourth-rank eternal-level Dao laws can penetrate.

A surge of intense inspiration arose, yet Zhang Jian's expression remained unchanged; then, deep within his brow, a cluster of azure divine light appeared, and in an instant, the innate divine light condensed into clusters of azure lotus flowers appearing above his head.

This is one layer of innate prohibition law that comes with the six innate divine prohibitions of the Innate Creation Azure Lotus.

Endless and unceasing.

A complete twelve-grade Creation Azure Lotus is not only capable of suppressing qi fortune, but also a peerless treasure for defense.

Stepping on the azure lotus, one is innately invincible, and all evils cannot invade.

But as if it could pierce through time and space, the great destruction divine light of the long river of fate fell upon clusters of azure treasure lotuses, dyeing part of the azure with a layer of destruction, a ruinous purple hue, and in an instant, they withered.

But immediately after, countless innate divine lights condensed again into clusters of Creation Azure Lotus blossoming from Zhang Jian's surroundings.

In that instant, on the beautiful face of the Purple Silence Demon Monarch appeared an ugly expression upon a half-withered purple lotus, and deep within her pupils even emerged a trace of incredulous feeling ao.

"Another innate spiritual treasure?"

At this moment, the Purple Silence Demon Monarch's heart surged with a sense of absurdity.

The great fortune of this innate divine being has actually reached such a degree.

Possessing one innate spiritual treasure of extremely strong power in the form of a diagram is already enough.

Yet there is actually another lotus-shaped innate spiritual treasure.

Those clusters of lotuses containing the creation of heaven and earth, the wood virtue's endless life force, howsoever they look, resemble the Innate Creation Azure Lotus from ancient mythological legends.

That is a mythical object.

Without even having attained the Dao, yet possessing two innate spiritual treasures!

Simultaneously, a sense of unease arose in her heart.

But in an instant, she cut off this wavering thought.

Even if the opponent possesses two innate spiritual treasures, she must still cut him down.

Moreover, according to the secret information she knows.

Activating an innate spiritual treasure also consumes an enormous amount of mana.

At this moment, the opponent may be relying solely on the innate spiritual treasure's own recovery ability to stubbornly hold on.

With the reserves inside the innate spiritual treasure, it cannot last long; at most, it can pre-produce and activate three times the innate prohibition law, after which it will require the cultivator's own cultivation to fill in.

The Purple Silence Demon Monarch has never wielded an innate spiritual treasure before, only heard of the profundity of postnatal spiritual treasures, and thus made this estimate.

Actually, they didn't know that innate spiritual treasures could only passively trigger one or two innate prohibitions.

However, this did not hinder her from attacking with full force.

The deep purple lotus between her eyebrows bloomed to the utmost, petal after petal of lotus flowers naturally withered at this moment, instantly transforming into a purple spear covered with countless divine patterns of the Great Destruction Dao laws.

The purple spear burst forth with extreme immortal radiance.

It seemed as if a strand of supreme will transcending the Great Destruction Dao laws, and the power of rules emerged from within.

It appeared as a strand that severed the Dao of all heavens and myriad worlds, letting myriad Dao perish, the power of sinking.

This strike faintly approached the realm of fifth-rank eternal Dao laws.

A wisp of qi seemed to shake the entire Nether Moon Ghost Kingdom, even the Underworld Hell trembling.

Zhang Jian's expression dared not be negligent.

At this time, the innate spiritual treasure Qiankun Tu and the innate spiritual treasure Creation Qinglian had each been triggered once.

The top-grade innate spiritual treasure Qiankun Tu remained in a damaged state and could no longer be passively triggered again.

The innate source of creation within the innate spiritual treasure Creation Qinglian was insufficient and also required him to actively infuse some cultivation before it could be passively deployed.

Thoughts flashed like lightning, Zhang Jian again triggered the innate spiritual treasure Creation Qinglian deep within his brow.

The Earth Emperor Dao Fruit deep within his brow emerged, instantly transforming into a strand of purple-yellow immortal light that merged into the innate Creation Qinglian above.

He immediately sensed that within the six innate prohibitions of the innate Creation Qinglian, one had instantly transformed into a strand of azure divine light flying out, with azure precious lotuses blooming all around his body, filling the void and legal realm, as if forming a vast pure land legal realm condensed from countless azure precious lotuses.

The purple divine light descended, bombarding Zhang Jian's body, sending his figure flying backward inverted, his form shattering myriad layers of the Nether Moon wasteland.

The terrifying great destruction radiance fell, the entire Nether Moon wasteland unable to withstand the power of the great destruction radiance, vast areas torn apart, the entire Nether Moon Ghost Kingdom, even the surrounding myriad ghost god kingdoms, experiencing earth-shaking upheaval, as if the apocalypse had arrived.

In the depths of the void, the Purple Still Demon Lord's form emerged from the purple light, yet her purple eyes merely stared fixedly at the deep earth of the Nether Moon wasteland.

Merely glancing, her expression became extraordinarily angry.

The deep azure treasure light in the Nether Moon wasteland gradually dimmed, but the divine qi within remained as bright as midday sun, only with some cultivation loss, and no other damage.

She probably still needed to accumulate power for two strikes to possibly completely shatter the defenses of those two innate spiritual treasures and slay the opponent.

But after two strikes, she might also become spent like a crossbow at the end of its bolt, possibly unable to easily leave the Underworld Hell.

"Bold demon, dare to injure the deity protected by this god, you are seeking death!"

At this moment, an extremely angry voice came from the depths of the void.

Immediately, the Purple Still Demon Lord's visage sank, yet she saw a strand of black sword light permeating heaven and earth void swiftly slashing forth, as if carrying the power of total cosmic collapse, as if it would cleave the heavens.

This was a Dao Lord of the Underworld Hell.

Although this Dao Lord could not compare to her who was burning the Dao Fruit's source now, disturbing her actions was completely sufficient.

The Purple Still Demon Lord clearly understood that she could not, under the interference of another second-transformation Dao Lord, forcibly slay Zhang Jian who possessed two innate spiritual treasures for body protection.

She must leave.

After leaving, she might still have a chance to return to the Demon Lord's realm and still retain a trace of recovery possibility.

"Get lost!"

As she raised her hand, countless great destruction demon lights condensed in her palm depths into a pure purple lotus, which instantly rotated, scattered and reassembled in the void, transforming into a purple conical tip, instantly shattering the incoming strand of black sword light, purple divine light charging toward the emerging figure in the void.

Shi You sensed the vast divine power of myriad destructions, his expression strained.

The profound black ancient sword in his hand instantly rose and swung.

"Earth Origin Barrier!"

Layer upon layer of profound black Dao patterns burst forth from his body as he waved the profound black ancient sword, layers of black Dao patterns condensing into scale-like scale membranes.

Ultimately, the purple great destruction divine light surged forward, and those profound black Dao pattern scale membranes also shattered layer by layer, finally striking the thick body of the profound black ancient sword.

Shi You's figure flew backward.

There was some tremor in his eyes, but following came fierce fighting spirit.

Since following Hou Tu Niangniang into the Underworld Hell, he had rarely had such a great battle opportunity.

As a ghost god transformed from the ancient demon god clan, he did not fear strong opponents.

Yet in the distance, the Purple Still Demon Lord's form suddenly vanished from sight in an instant, as if in an instant heading toward the Underworld Hell, toward the myriad ghost gods dwelling among living beings.

Actually preparing to take advantage and flee into it, to hide again.

Shi You's expression changed, immediately raising the ancient sword in his hand, preparing to do his utmost to intercept.

Yet in the depths of the void, an intangible pull emerged, instantly causing the power of the myriad heavens' river Luo Dao laws to tremble, a black-and-white alternating divine diagram instantly sweeping up the fleeing purple lotus, swallowing it within.

The purple lotus rotated with gurgling sounds within the divine diagram, wherever it passed countless layers of heaven and earth Dao laws collapsed, yet it could never escape the envelope of that divine diagram, a spotless white slender hand emerged from the void, instantly grasping the divine diagram.

Azure divine light condensed, instantly manifesting the form of the 'Qingxia Dao Lord'.

And what she naturally held in her hand was the Hetu River Luo Diagram.

This middle-grade innate merit spiritual treasure, in the hands of this second-transformation Dao Lord, burst forth with inconceivable power, instantly suppressing the Purple Still Demon Lord.

"Innate spiritual treasure!"

Shi You also saw the black-and-white alternating innate divine light deep in the Qingxia Dao Lord's palm.

However, with his sight, he could not discern the attribute, rank, or origin of this innate spiritual treasure.

He merely knew it was very formidable.

On the shattered Nether Moon wasteland, Zhang Jian slowly rose from within, a layer of purple imperial divine light flowing around his body, he also saw the true form of the 'Qingxia Dao Lord' manifested in the void.

Shi You was the third to arrive after a breath.

The 'Qingxia Dao Lord' crossed realms from the Central Heavenly Realm, yet it also took only four breaths.

However, the arrival of the two Dao Lords was very timely.

In contrast, the other Near-Yu heavenly princes nearby had not yet appeared.

A hint of cold severity arc appeared in his eyes.

After several breaths, only to see Dao Dao Underworld divine light emerging from the depths of the void, the other nine Underworld Emperor Lords successively appeared above the Nether Moon wasteland.

The leaders were the Wheel-Turning Emperor, the Yama Emperor, the Dark Sun Emperor, and the Spring Pass Emperor.

These four great Netherworld Emperors were all incarnations of the Dao Lord.

As for others such as the Yin Eclipse Emperor, the Black Pool Emperor, and the Profound Yin Emperor, along with five other Netherworld Heavenly Sons like Zhang Jian, they were all Netherworld Emperors who had achieved the Great Perfection of Taiyi.

Yet they all wielded the formidable divine authority and rank of Dao Lord-level Emperors.

Subsequently, powerful figures from the various ghost-kingdom realms of the Netherworld Underworld arrived in succession, including mighty ghost deities and immortal officials, to the extent that ghost kings were not inferior to some Netherworld Emperors.

"I never imagined that a Demon Lord would infiltrate our Netherworld Underworld; if not for the intervention of the two Dao Lords, the consequences would be unthinkable!"

At this moment, the Wheel-Turning Emperor wore his imperial robes, his slightly dark visage bearing a hint of stern severity.

He then fixed his gaze upon Zhang Jian, a subtle ripple appearing in the depths of his eyes, before he smiled and spoke.

"Fortunately, the Lunar Moon Imperial Younger Brother is blessed with heavenly favor; otherwise, we too would be hard-pressed to escape blame!"

At this time, in the void, the other Netherworld Emperors also turned their gazes hither, each wearing a most peculiar expression.

A Demon Lord unleashed his full power.

For a full three breaths, this remarkably long duration still failed to slay this Nine Netherworld Spirit-Condemning Emperor.

The opponent's performance was truly surprising.

However, the azure divine light that Zhang Jian finally withdrew had previously been faintly sensed by them from afar.

The power of this primordial divine light was extraordinarily vast.

It is highly likely to be a primordial spiritual treasure from myth and legend!

The eyes of many powerful beings in the Netherworld Underworld flickered with emotion, some even glowing.

It is highly likely to be a primordial spiritual treasure.

But soon, the many powerful beings calmed down, for the Netherworld Moon Emperor and the Nine Netherworld Spirit-Condemning Emperor before them were not without backing.

The ancient Holy Sovereign Yu Wang, the Azure Radiance Dao Lord, and the Earth Mother Goddess—none of them could be easily provoked by others.

Yet, regarding the primordial spiritual treasure carried by Zhang Jian, they still harbored some speculation in their hearts.

They speculated about its grade, lineage, and profound mysteries.

An itch in the heart was hard to avoid.

After all, it is a treasure from mythology—opening one's horizons, merely glimpsing it is a good thing.
