Chapter 322: Xu Jia Performs the Immortal-Slaying Array
Although Xu Jia sighed at his power, he was not afraid of him; the twin swords moved like dragons, his body escaped into the swords, and the sword escape entered the Taixu, the Gold-Silver Twin Dragons coiling toward that mass of black clouds and blood light.
That Wanshou Emperor of the Longevity Sect laughed: "How many years have you cultivated, and how many stories high is your Daoist Practice? How dare you show off your axe before me?"
"Blood-Transforming Divine Blade!"
A demonic blade dripping with blood flames slashed from the void; ghosts wailed and blood waves surged upon it, and one could faintly see the Primordial Spirits of practitioners, the hilt itself made of white bone.
Although that side appeared to be an unorthodox demonic sect, its power was immense, and Xu Jia dared not be struck, otherwise his Primordial Spirit would be snatched away, and his essence, Qi, and spirit would all be plundered.
While parrying with his twin swords, blood Qi like leeches tried to drill inside, but fortunately, Xu Jia had some understanding of the Longevity Sect and had prepared early.
A sword light broke through the Dharma Realm, shifting form and changing shadows, followed by sword Qi surging like rotating light, green lotuses blooming in a pool of blood.
"Capture!"
The Dharma Appearance of the Wanshou Emperor of the Longevity Sect in the clouds pinched a seal, and taking advantage of Xu Jia dodging the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, he released a layer of Heavenly Demon Light.
That light came head-on, capable of making one's mind chaotic and losing wisdom, with the six senses taking charge and the seven emotions in turmoil.
Yet Xu Jia also had light: specifically the Compassion Light, the Pure Light, and the Moral Light.
The two lights met like raging fire meeting snow, mutually dissolving, though Xu Jia's Moral Light was somewhat weaker and not as arrogant as his blood light.
"How formidable!" Xu Jia felt the strain, feeling it was fortunate he brought the Three Sovereigns Ten Thousand People Umbrella to suppress demons and protect the Dao, and he held the Heart Sutra curse power in his heart.
The Spirit General Great Marshal and Tiangang Great Sage within his body came to protect him, throwing out Tiangang Thunder, one after another, all of which had been refined in advance.
The blood light was blasted apart, and the demonic blade was held off for a time; Xu Jia also opened his mouth, and more Lunar Method manifested, as paper figures holding knives, spears, swords, halberds, clubs, axes, and yue went "ya ya ya" and charged toward the blood cloud, meeting the wind and becoming heavenly soldiers and generals, slaughtering toward the blood cloud.
It was the technique of Paper-Cutting into Humans and Scattering Beans to Form Soldiers, listed in the authentic one-eighth Daoist lineage of the Yellow Heaven Sect.
This method made the Wanshou Emperor sneer: "Mere petty tricks."
Immediately, a Five Elements wheel appeared, the Five Elements Hell Wheel, containing five prisons similar to the Lushan Five Prisons Great Method, with Five Elements Sha as the core; inside each prison were two thousand five hundred Five Elements Ghost Evil, totaling twelve thousand five hundred Ghost Evil, with Ghost Kings in each prison drilling Ghost Marshals, Ghost Generals, Ghost Schools, and Ghost Soldiers.
The marching was orderly, and the Evil Qi soared to the heavens; if one were to describe it, it was comparable to the Ten Thousand Ghost Demon Banner, with even more to spare.
The Fire Sha ghosts pushed fire carts, the carts piled with fire oil, burning with raging flames; the Earth Sha ghosts drove fierce beasts; the Wood Sha ghosts rode flying birds, hands pulling great bows; the Water Sha ghosts released bags containing Black Qi and poisonous smoke; the Gold Sha ghosts had three eyes emitting light, with a thousand needles and ten thousand blades.
These Sha ghosts were mixed together, and Xu Jia's paper-made soldiers and horses were quickly destroyed.
Paper scraps fell all over the sky, and the Wanshou Emperor laughed: "Let's see what other means you have."
But the next moment, those paper scraps underwent another change, turning into paper butterflies, beginning to flutter and drift, sticking firmly to the Five Elements Hell Wheel in the air, and then igniting with flames.
"Taiyin Nether Fire!"
Fire within the yin, ignited with the help of moonlight and the power of the Taiyin.
The various ghosts within the Five Elements Hell Wheel also caught fire on their bodies, but soon a drop of black water fell, a rain of filth covering the sky, extinguishing the flames.
Who knew that once the fire was ignited, it would be difficult to extinguish again; it was truly a spark that could start a prairie fire. Xu Jia had cultivated this through great vows, and now that his ambition was unfulfilled, how could he be defeated by this demon?
Amidst the flames, two sword lights, one yin and one yang, the two forms giving birth to the four symbols, also had light and shadow flipping within the flames; one could only see a Taiyin Dharma Mirror suspended in the air, and Xu Jia had already used the sea Qi, firelight, and the bright moon, like that Mirage Essence, to construct a virtual realm.
The real realm and virtual realm merged, and two Xu Jias appeared, both voices speaking: "That demon, die!"
Having spoken, the two real swords and two virtual swords immediately formed an array; as the sword array swirled, there were countless storms, and the seawater on the surface, the Taiyin Nether Fire, the rosy light, the blood light, the black clouds, and the wind Qi all became imagery within the array.
The Primordial Spirit of the Wanshou Emperor was not originally here, but in a trance, amidst the dark and obscure, he actually entered the array as well.
He exclaimed: This junior truly has some ability.
But he was no pushover either; one could see that within the blood light, there appeared an emperor, a Buddha, a demon, and a great Confucian, some holding a Vajra Pestle, some a precious sword, some a trident, and some a compass and square.
They were all powerful Ghost Gods that had been bound, or the Primordial Spirits of those with great Dharma Power and great Divine Ability that had been captured and refined using secret arts.
They sought to break the virtual and the real, and the Wanshou Emperor did not believe that he, a sect-leader-level figure who had cultivated for hundreds of years and could already roam the Taixu with his Primordial Spirit, could be dealt with by such a kid.
Yet Xu Jia was determined to test his bottom line; he did not necessarily have to kill him, but having tested him now, while he might not be able to overcome him easily, he would certainly not lose.
Although it is said: "Blackening makes one three times stronger, washing white makes one three times weaker," there is another saying: "Evil cannot suppress righteousness."
Xu Jia considered himself righteous, while this Longevity Sect Leader acted deviously and cultivated the demonic path; the mandate of heaven was with him, not with him.
Sword lights flickered, thunder rumbled, and purple electricity filled the blue dome; although it did not have the momentum of the "Heavens Sword Array" of Tongtian Jiaozhu, it had the feeling of the "Yin-Yang Sword Array."
As Xu Jia performed this method, the South Dragon Ao Jia also felt it, and Zidian Xian Wu'er, who had just been sent into the East Sea, came to assist.
That Zidian Wu'er had just fallen into the water, tumbled for a while, and was somewhat dazed, even causing a tsunami and earthquake that shook the Dragon Vein of Wonu Country; at this moment, he adjusted the feng shui, his belly like a drum, and emitted a sound that was like the Ancient Thunder Sound, rumbling in a great expanse, like sea tides coming from far to near, washing onto the shore.
Although Ao Jia was not skilled in combat, he held the sea fortune, cultivated ocean currents, and his Water Virtue was cold and clear, capable of purifying water and filth.
One dragon and one fish joined the battlefield, and those demons, scholars, emperors, and Buddhas all had their attention diverted and could not form a formation, while the virtual and real sword lights were instead dazzling.
"Three million jade dragons fly here, follow me to fight at the peak of Kunlun!"
Xu Jia's heart was filled with heroism, making the sword light hum even more.
"Swish!"
The Longevity Sect Emperor was furious, and an Iron Ruyi flew from his hand, striking straight at the head of Zidian Xian Wu'er, instantly making him see stars; then an Imperial Decree flew like a sword, with the words "By the order of the Wanshou Gaoqiong Suijing Great Emperor" written upon it.
The decree was issued, and a voice said: "Under the whole heaven, there is no land that is not the king's; within the borders of the land, there is no one who is not the king's subject!"
It transformed into the size of a basket, scooping up Ao Jia, as if drawing a circle on the ground to serve as a prison, carrying with it a force of dynastic law and imperial majesty.
"Are you a survivor of the Great Heng Dynasty?"
"Correct! I am the last emperor of the Great Heng; it is hateful that Ning usurped my foundation and forced me to go south to the sea, but I did not expect that by breaking and then establishing, I would instead cultivate the Immortal Dao, proving the imperial position with an Immortal rank; sooner or later, I will kill my way back and take back my ancestors' foundation!"
