Chapter 179

Southern Yunnan Dead End, Mount Ailao.

Vast black clouds press on the bright moon, chilling mountain winds urge bone-deep cold.

The undulating mountains are like sleeping dragons coiled on the earth; deep in the dense forest, strange firelight occasionally flashes, accompanied by bursts of unknown chirping sounds.

The outside world says that after the founding of the nation, transformation into demons is not allowed, and even spirits and monsters rarely succeed in cultivation, but that is in the secular human world.

Places like Mount Ailao, Mount Zhangbai, Mount Kunlun, and the eight-hundred-mile Qin Ling Mountains are not subject to this restriction; demons and ghosts can be formed, spirits and monsters can be cultivated... it's just that these places cannot be entered deeply without the power of creation and mystery, and cannot stay long without the fortune of heaven and earth's favor.

Those who can become demons here must be world-shocking great demons.

At this time, in front of an ancient cave, the campfire was burning, and the withered branches made "crackling" sounds in the jumping firelight.

Two figures sat around the campfire, the strong liquor in the pot being burned until the alcohol vapor was spraying, intoxicating people.

"Boss Zong, this old cat is too hard to invite; it actually didn't even give you face."

The burly man with a deep scar on his face was gnawing on unknown roasted meat, couldn't help but spit; this person is none other than the Yinshan Ghost King Xiong Sanqi.

"It's not an ordinary demon; it has been cultivating for almost three hundred years." The lean figure lowered his head, whispering.

A demon is born from a spirit or monster seizing a body, disrupting the order of creation; the tribulations are already much more than those of ordinary Daoist practitioners, and being able to live for more than three hundred years is already extremely rare, and can be called an old demon.

Eighty years ago, after the Daoist sect's great tribulation, old demons over three hundred years old were almost all dead; today, the only ones left are a few existences like the "Pale Ape" of 【Laojun Mountain】, the "Bai He" of 【Bai He Temple】, and the "Old Turtle" of 【Zhenwu Mountain】.

"But this old cat is indeed powerful, its shadow untraceable, even you, Boss Zong, can't find its tracks." Xiong Sanqi couldn't help but say.

"All things in the world restrain each other; if one thing is strong, there must be something to restrain it... there is something in this Mount Ailao that it fears."

"Boss Zong, why are we going to such trouble to find this old cat?" Xiong Sanqi asked.

"I'm looking for it to deal with that one from the Wu Wei Gate..."

Before he finished speaking, the voice stopped abruptly; the spirit figure sitting around the campfire trembled slightly, but stood up suddenly, a strong fluctuation rushing out from his body, pressing the campfire to pieces, shaking the pale clouds.

"Boss Zong, what's going on?"

Xiong Sanqi's complexion changed suddenly, vaguely feeling that the primordial spirit, which was like the black sky and eternal night, was about to come out; just the oppressive feeling of the scattered overflow made him feel like facing a mountain collapse, instinctively wanting to escape.

"One method is born, one method must be destroyed... God-Demon Holy Fetus... he is about to walk out..."

Under the black sky floating in the air, in front of the remaining campfire, Zhang Lingzong looked at the distant east, his gaze deep, talking to himself.

Boom...

Dongshan Province, Qilu City.

Above Luoxia Mountain, a deafening muffled thunder resounded, with the intention that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of the building.

At this moment, the large 【Hall of No-Life】 was like a closed pressure cooker, the terrifying pressure making everyone feel trembling, their bodies unable to control themselves, their primordial spirits unable to control themselves.

Under the gaze of one trembling eye after another, that newly born primordial spirit slowly returned to Zhang Fan's body.

In an instant, that body seemed to be injected with vitality again, reborn, and never the same.

Zhang Fan raised his eyelids slightly, his eyes like electricity, all energy hidden inside.

"Brother... Brother Fan!?"

The Liu brothers were stunned, looking at Zhang Fan as if they didn't recognize him anymore, instinctively feeling fear in their hearts, but they couldn't feel any aura fluctuation on Zhang Fan's body.

Standing in front of them seemed to be an ordinary person.

At this time, everyone noticed the strangeness.

"Li Changgeng, long time no see."

Zhang Fan whispered, his calm gaze looking at Li Changgeng, no deep hatred, no life-and-death struggle, as if old friends reuniting.

Zhang Fan's words were very strange, as if the person standing here facing Li Changgeng just now wasn't him, yet it was him.

"After several twists and turns through wind and fire, seeing you again is me and not me..."

Li Changgeng whispered solemnly, the gaze looking at Zhang Fan finally becoming different; he, who had always been as calm as water, actually stirred up some waves.

"Worthy of being the God-Demon Holy Fetus."

"The New Year greetings are finished, then go die." Zhang Fan's mouth raised slightly, a soft smile.

Boom...

As soon as the voice fell, the place where Zhang Fan stood exploded suddenly, his figure appearing in front of Li Changgeng in an instant.

"Fire Dragon Elixir Sword!"

A dragon's roar resounded, a sword's sound rushed to the sky, the red scorching true fire twisting like a wicked dragon, spitting like a sword glow, the terrifying phenomenon being more than ten times stronger than just now.

"My mom... is this the Fire Dragon Elixir Sword!?"

Everyone was horrified, the large 【Hall of No-Life】 was almost filled with flame waves, their hair and skin drying at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the true yang in their bodies was noisy and boiling, as if about to be boiled by this scorching true fire.

"Seize Momentum!"

Li Changgeng stood still, a whisper, and the monstrous fire momentum immediately disappeared.

The overbearingness of Seizing Fortune from Heaven and Earth appeared again.

Hum...

Almost at the same time, in the extinguished sparks, a surge of true fire rushed, like a dragon reborn from nirvana, ashes burning again in the remnant body, livingly pressing toward Li Changgeng's head.

"Seizing Fortune from Heaven and Earth failed?" Everyone was stunned.

"No... it didn't fail..."

Daoist sect fighting, in the final analysis, is a battle of primordial spirits.

At this moment, Zhang Fan's primordial spirit merged into one, the world's most ferocious, God-Demon Holy Fetus, as vast as the endless black sky and eternal night.

Even with overbearing reverse seizing, but the black sky is long, how can it be seized?

It's like a ladle scooping river water; when will heaven and earth rest, when will the river and sea end! Because of this, Li Changgeng seized the fire momentum of Zhang Fan's 【Fire Dragon Elixir Sword】, and he could rely on the powerful primordial spirit refined by the God-Demon Holy Fetus to burn ashes again, method born from method.

"Your 【Seizing Fortune from Heaven and Earth】 has not yet reached perfection; if heaven and earth cannot be seized, how can you destroy the God-Demon?" Zhang Fan whispered.

The surging Fire Dragon Elixir Sword pressed the air to explode, shocking the great hall to tremble, the sky full of fire sea livingly pressing toward Li Changgeng.

"Roar..."

Suddenly, a long whistle rose, the mysterious sound high-pitched, turning inexplicably; even the powerful 【Fire Dragon Elixir Sword】 collapsed like a wild wave in this strange whistle.

Bang bang bang...

In the twisted air, Li Changgeng's clothes flew, his throat wriggling rhythmically, making that strange sound; the floor under his feet collapsed inch by inch, and everything around seemed to shatter and collapse under this sound.

"Great Brahma Orthodox Sound!?"

Qi Delong and Dongqiang roared in shock, retreating rapidly.

"Great Brahma Hidden Language, Boundless Sound!?"

Lin Jianyue's complexion was miserable, only feeling the primordial spirit in her body trembling involuntarily, as if resonating with that strange sound.

The 【Lingbao Salvation Scripture】 says that the Great Brahma Orthodox Sound is the wonderful sound of natural boundlessness; those who recite it can subdue all spirits, save from the five sufferings, suppress all evils, and ward off everything...

Some say it is celestial music, heard by ancient Daoist priests, gradually evolving into a part of today's Daoist sect ritual music; the Bai He Temple patriarch passed down a Daoist method based on this sound, which is the Great Brahma Orthodox Sound.

"Worthy of being Li Changgeng, even the 【Great Brahma Orthodox Sound】 has been practiced." Lin Jianyue said solemnly.

She had heard that this sound is only in heaven, and how many times can people hear it; the practitioner's primordial spirit needs to resonate with this sound, and even the primordial spirit of a strong person like Lin Jianyue is hard to bear that resonance frequency.

This is a supreme wonderful sound that can destroy the primordial spirit and destroy the physical body.

"Retreat... retreat out..."

The Liu brothers roared, even from far away, their primordial spirits could hardly bear it, as if about to burst at any time.

The most critical thing is that their bodies were also bearing unimaginable pressure, the blood in their whole bodies squeezed to one place by that strange sound, rushing toward the heart.

Such a terrifying Daoist method is simply unimaginable.

Bang bang bang...

The gravel flying around Li Changgeng collapsed and shattered under the 【Great Brahma Orthodox Sound】, turning into flying sand and chaos.

Just at this moment, Li Changgeng finally moved; his figure flickered, as if melting into that wonderful mysterious sound, killing toward Zhang Fan.

"Spit fire dragon, cast sword body!"

Hum...

Almost at the same time, Zhang Fan sprayed out a breath, turning into rolling true fire, surrounding his body, immediately setting off bursts of sword humming.

Two figures collided together, the invisible wonderful sound seeming to form a vacuum zone around Li Changgeng, colliding with the true fire around Zhang Fan, setting off ten thousand fire lights, the stirred-up aftermath actually directly uncovering the dome of the great hall.

"Not human... not human..."

Everyone was horrified, only daring to watch from afar; although they were also Daoist practitioners, the power they cultivated was still within the scope of reason. But right now, the strength displayed by both Li Changgeng and Zhang Fan was already in a non-human realm.

Bang... bang... bang...

Two figures collided constantly, naked violence.

The vacuum zone formed by the Great Brahma Orthodox Sound seemed to be able to crush all tangible things; it constantly tore the true fire formed by the 【Fire Dragon Elixir Sword】, and the splashing fire light ignited the entire great hall in the blink of an eye.

Boom...

Suddenly, Li Changgeng took a big step, a cluster of air compressed in his palm, a roaring sound coming from it, as if the Great Brahma Orthodox Sound vibrating at a strange frequency was also compressed inside.

"That thing is dangerously deadly."

Everyone's eyes widened, not daring to miss a single bit.

"Seize Momentum!"

Zhang Fan's body seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and in an instant, he was pulled to Li Changgeng's front.

Li Changgeng's palm carried the vacuum air mass, pressing toward Zhang Fan's head.

Bang...

In an instant, Zhang Fan's right hand raised to block, a golden light swallowing and extinguishing in his palm, which was exactly the 【Weiling Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal】, scorching true fire entwined on the golden seal, meeting the air mass condensed by Li Changgeng's 【Great Brahma Orthodox Sound】.

The loud noise fell, the true fire shattered, all energy chaotic, the surging aftermath shaking the two back.

"Dropping grass for life seeing blood light, nail-head seven arrows life wandering..."

Li Changgeng hadn't landed yet, forming seals with both hands in the air, chanting words in his mouth.

Suddenly, his primordial spirit appeared in the air, seven blood lights surging, like long nails, carrying intense evil energy, producing chilling fierce light, seeing life like losing, seeing blood producing disaster.

"Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book!?"

Seeing this, everyone's complexion changed suddenly.

Evil God Nail, Seven Arrows Book, gods worry and ghosts cry.

This is an extremely ancient Daoist method, and it has been lost for a long time.

It is said that the earliest 【Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book】 was to tie a talisman on a straw man, write the living person's birth date on it, and pierce it with a refined nail, repeating this seven times, and even immortals couldn't save them.

Later, a great expert improved this method and passed down the 【Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book】, which is famous for its fierce life and specializes in breaking the primordial spirit.

No matter who it is, once the primordial spirit is hit by this technique, it's like entering a paper shredder; it only takes the blink of an eye for the primordial spirit to turn into flying ash.

"Seize Body!"

Just at this moment, Li Changgeng whispered, Zhang Fan seemed to have lost control of his body, actually not moving at all.

Seven blood lights, like long nails, pierced straight into the center of his eyebrows and spirit platform, breaking that hidden primordial spirit.

"Terrible..." The Liu brothers' hearts skipped a beat.

The Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book is famous for its fierceness; if the primordial spirit is hit by this technique, even gods and ghosts are hard to save.

Bang...

Zhang Fan's head seemed to have received a huge impact, looking back suddenly, the sky full of true fire extinguished accordingly.

"Dead!!"

At this time, everyone's heart couldn't help but rise with the same thought.

Boom...

Suddenly, Zhang Fan rose violently, like a beast out of a cage, actually flashing straight to Li Changgeng's front.

"He... he actually isn't affected at all?"

At this moment, whether it was Qi Delong and Dongqiang, or Lin Jianyue, or the Liu brothers, all showed unbelievable expressions, and even Li Changgeng was slightly stunned, not having reacted.

"Don't you know? The God-Demon Holy Fetus can almost immunize against all Daoist methods aimed at the primordial spirit."

Zhang Fan grinned, his big hand falling, livingly hooking Li Changgeng's head, smashing it toward the ground.

Boom...

An explosion sounded, smoke and dust surging, the ground smashed into a huge deep pit.

Everyone seemed to be frozen, staring blankly at the Hall of No-Life that had already turned into ruins, only feeling that their thoughts seemed unable to run.

This level of fighting seemed to open a door for them that had never been seen before.

Whoosh...

The wild wind blew, scattering the smoke and dust all over the ground, two figures crossed, jumping out from it.

Zhang Fan's clothes were shattered, and Li Changgeng's mouth also had faint bloodstains.

"Are these two really human?"

Liu Xingyu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"Let the warm-up end here."

Just at this moment, Zhang Fan spoke.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, their gaze toward him becoming unbelievable again.

This level of battle, this level of power...

Warm-up!? "I have reason to suspect he is pretending to be cool!" Liu Xingyu couldn't help but say.

"I think so too." Li Changgeng whispered solemnly.

As opponents of the same level, there was no need for more probing.

"Great fortune is like this, unfortunately... you are going to die here."

A look of regret appeared on Li Changgeng's face, the gaze looking at Zhang Fan actually adding a trace of compassion and regret, as if in the future he saw, Zhang Fan was already dead.

"Hmm!?" Zhang Fan's gaze sank slightly, his arm raised slightly, looking at his palm.

"Worthy of being you, you noticed it really fast." Li Changgeng sighed.

"Seize Dharma Fortune!?"

Zhang Fan raised an eyebrow, feeling the change in the surrounding energy, almost everywhere filled with Li Changgeng's qi...

In the battle just now, the true purpose of this terrifying opponent lay here...

Once Dharma fortune is seized, all Daoist arts cannot be displayed.

Relying only on this body, all one can do is wait for death!

"Seizing Fortune from Heaven and Earth... truly terrifying."

No one expected that the situation would have such a one-sided reversal.

"Heaven and earth are vast, there will never be an opponent like you again." Li Changgeng sighed.

Boom...

Suddenly, a faint golden light rose around him, and following that, this golden light was like the brilliance of the great sun, like eternal gold, slowly pouring down to the ground, in an instant, spreading over a radius of ten feet.

At this moment, everyone was in that golden light; in their eyes, Li Changgeng became like a god, actually floating slowly, golden light covering his body, the Dao mysterious and true.

"Daoist sect supernatural power, Golden Light of Vertical Earth!?"

Everyone widened their eyes, witnessing a scene like a miracle; in a trance, scripture recitation sounds seemed to resound in their ears, singing the heaven-sent power.

"I have worshiped the Jade Emperor since birth, the Yellow Court holds the scroll and the time is long, now I receive the golden light heaven talisman, the vast heaven and earth great Dharma King!"

The terrifying golden light rushed to the sky, breaking the Immortal-Imprisoning Temple, breaking the Luoxia Mountain, layers of clouds dissipated, the bright moon hard to round...

Ten miles away, one could see the golden light rushing to the sky.

"This monster really awakened a supernatural power."

At this moment, the hearts of Liu Xingchui and others finally sank to the bottom; they looked at Li Changgeng, like a mayfly seeing the blue sky; this kind of monster is simply strong to the point of despair.

Seizing Fortune from Heaven and Earth, Daoist sect supernatural power, this kind of person has almost no shortcomings.

Hum...

Golden light all over the ground, surging like a tide, swallowing Zhang Fan's figure.

At this moment, they finally had no more thoughts.

"Dharma fortune can be seized, heaven's gift is hard to receive."

Just at this moment, a light voice slowly came from the surging golden light, revealing a trace of long-awaited reunion.

"Samadhi True Fire!!"
