Chapter 900: Ceasefire Mission

"Boring." Tang Luo shook his head; he had originally been waiting for this Phantom God to rise and have a good fight with him.

Tang Luo had fought many monsters, the mounts of immortals and buddhas, the immortals and buddhas themselves, and Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, but he had absolutely never fought himself.

This is a very rare experience.

This is also why Tang Luo let the Phantom God swallow that drop of blood. Otherwise, given his bad habit of needing to speak first, Tang Luo could have killed him ten thousand times while the Phantom God was speaking.

The Phantom God actually cannot endure continual death.

In fact, when the false Tang Xuanzang showed cracks, it was already the Phantom God's limit; dying once more would be true death.

So the Phantom God brought out the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger.

Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger—Tang Luo looked at this treasure he had only heard of, seeing it for the first time today.

The red gourd hovered in midair, then suddenly turned into a stream of light, trying to escape.

Tang Luo reached out and grabbed it; the red gourd halted in midair, white smoke rose from its mouth, a skull and the flying dagger appeared together, and white light and the rotating blades all lunged at Tang Luo.

The rotating blades were caught in Tang Luo's hand, and the halo of light above them faded.

Only then did he see clearly: the true form of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger is a slightly curved dagger the size of a palm, with no hilt, only a blade.

"Huh?" Tang Luo carefully examined this Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger and detected a different aura on it.

This flying dagger has another owner; its master is not the Phantom God.

However, Tang Luo could not tell whose aura this was.

Before Tang Luo could wipe away that aura, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger trembled, actually disintegrating on its own; the distant red gourd and skull also vanished together.

"Stingy." Tang Luo collected the fragments of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger.

He had originally planned to wipe away that aura on the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger and give it to Ao Yulie, Zhu Bajie, and the others to play with.

After all, it is a treasure capable of leaving a wound on himself, so its attack power is still quite strong.

He never expected this flying dagger to actually "self-destruct".

Normally, for a treasure of this level, it would not be surprising if it had developed a spirit; even without one, it would be highly spiritual and generally would not self-destruct.

Yet, with that aura's cooperation, it self-destructed so cleanly; it is obvious that the owner of that aura is also a big shot.

Being able to give the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger to the Phantom God and destroy it without hesitation gives Tang Luo sufficient reason to suspect that the other party comes from the New Heavenly Court.

After all, he had caused a small disturbance in the Heavenly Court before; they would definitely have some reaction, otherwise where would they save face?

The sneaky style of doing things here also fits the Jade Emperor's character of concealing his brilliance and nurturing obscurity.

Tang Luo did not know that its master was not from the New Heavenly Court, but had personally founded the "New Heavenly Court".

In the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor's face instantly turned fierce; he already felt that the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger he had sent out had been destroyed.

He immediately felt a pang of regret.

The Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger is not merely what Tang Luo described as "still having considerable attack power".

Rather, its attack power is extremely strong! Moreover, there is only one of it; there is no second.

The restrictions of the God-Demon Game were completely lifted; the Jade Emperor sent people through the Phantom God's hand to try to test what level Tang Luo has reached now.

But he never expected the test to yield this result.

The Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger self-destructing directly means the opponent is fully capable of facing it head-on, destroying it, and moreover, relying solely on the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger, one cannot escape.

The Jade Emperor also did not think that the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger in the Phantom God's hands as a pawn could truly inflict heavy damage on Tang Luo.

His original lowest expectation was for the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger to bring back a drop of Tang Luo's blood.

Thus, he would have many means to slowly deal with this Golden Cicada-reincarnated monk.

As a result, even the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger was lost!

Fortunately, preparations had been made beforehand; if certain situations arose, they would decisively destroy the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger.

The Jade Emperor had no doubt that the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger in Tang Luo's hands would pose some threat to him.

Since it was about to be lost anyway, destroying it so it wouldn't fall into enemy hands was perfectly justified.

"Tang Xuanzang..." he muttered; the Jade Emperor seemed to see the Sun Wukong of old—but no, that monkey's threat back then was far less than today's Tang Xuanzang.

"I actually look forward to seeing the side of you colliding with the present-day Great Thunder Sound Temple."

The Three Pure Ones and the Buddha are absent; the Great Thunder Sound Temple is now Maitreya's domain.

That "Future Buddha" who has long become a Buddha invariably dislikes demonic monks.

In the real world, Tang Luo collected the fragments of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger; Zhu Bajie happened to come out: "Master, it's done!"

Saying that, he threw out a black short staff.

The Mysterious Change fell into Tang Luo's hand; he lightly gripped it, and the Mysterious Change Sword reappeared, shifting from its original fierce and domineering form to the appearance of Heavenly Crystal Frost.

But it is not exactly the same; it is a bit larger and longer than Heavenly Crystal Frost, the same size as the original Mysterious Change Sword, suitable for holding and using in hand, rather than as a flying sword.

Tang Luo glanced at the Mysterious Change Sword in his hand.

Suddenly, the God-Demon Walkers that had been standing still scattered and fled.

The barely perceptible pressure finally dissipated a second ago; if all the God-Demon Walkers were of one mind, they might even have actively attacked Tang Luo in the sky to seek a sliver of survival.

But that's impossible; having witnessed Tang Luo's "humiliation" of the Phantom God, nobody still had the will to fight—except Jiang Junren.

Everyone else fled; only he clung tightly with one hand to the Fate Fragment left by Lu Jingtian, charging toward Tang Luo, his skin cracking and blood continuously flowing, forming a huge half-bodied blood-colored general.

Carrying boundless resentment and killing intent, he rushed toward Tang Luo.

Tang Luo did not look at the oncoming Jiang Junren, nor at the God-Demon Walkers scattering away.

He merely gazed at the Mysterious Change Sword in his hand and gave it a light swing.

In an instant, everyone saw a sword shadow appear before their eyes, in their hearts, and on their bodies—a fleeting sword shadow.

Next, the fleeing footsteps all stopped at the same time.

In midair, Jiang Junren's half-bodied blood-colored general vanished; he fell from the sky.

Before he even landed, he turned into flying ash, just like Lu Jingtian, leaving only a single Fate Fragment.

The remaining god-demons also turned into flying ash, leaving behind a ground full of fate fragments, skill light points, and some equipment.

These god-demons, more than half of them can be considered Western god-demons, and the number of fate bearers is also relatively high.

A thousand hands cannot defend against it; one sword slays ten thousand.

And letting these god-demons turn into flying ash, completely destroying both body and spirit, is the effect currently possessed by Profound Transformation.

Zhu Bajie and Tang Luo researched together—mainly Zhu Bajie did the research, while Tang Luo was responsible for handling things when they went wrong.

It completely retained the destructive characteristic of Heavenly Crystal Frost as a Source Embodiment, integrating it into Profound Transformation.

The current Profound Transformation, in a certain sense, is also a Source Embodiment object.

"What's going on with these people?" Zhu Bajie then asked.

As soon as Profound Transformation appeared, someone came forward to test swords; it's definitely not Tang Luo who specially gathered them.

"Oh, someone was bewitched, thinking they had a great advantage, and staged a 'Besiege Tang Xuanzang'." Ao Yulie said, "Quick, let's go collect the spoils together."

"... Huh? Who, the Heavenly Court?" Zhu Bajie frowned and said.

The question was about the bewitcher.

"I don't know, but there's an Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger; it must be the Jade Emperor." Ao Yulie said.

"Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger?" Zhu Bajie's eyes lit up.

This thing, it seems like it can be refined into Profound Transformation?

"It's already broken." Ao Yulie reminded.

Wake up! Second Senior Brother, haven't you noticed you're about to turn into a pig that only knows how to forge things?

"Even if it's broken, it's fine, Master! Master! Haven't you completely destroyed it? Are there any fragments? Let me see!" Zhu Bajie "whoosh" appeared beside Tang Luo.

Tang Luo spread his hands, revealing a handful of fragments.

Zhu Bajie examined it carefully: "I think it can be refined in."

"Then let's refine it." Tang Luo handed over Profound Transformation as well.

Ao Yulie watched Zhu Bajie's fallen back as he returned to the Eight Trigrams Furnace, sighed softly, "Second Senior Brother, you've changed."

Back then we used to chat about girls, chat about girls and more girls—those days are gone forever.

"If you want something, go pick it up." Tang Luo returned to the rooftop and said to Ao Yulie.

Sha Wujing nodded at Tang Luo, then turned back into prayer beads and wore them again on Ao Yulie's wrist.

"Oh." Ao Yulie rubbed his hands, and it was again his tenth favorite trash‑picking segment.

Although he can't use most of this equipment, doing this is just as enjoyable as women shopping, men picking games, or opening websites kids shouldn't see.

In the coming month, the whole world was immersed in a tranquil and harmonious atmosphere.

What happened this half‑day was roughly captured by satellite.

So the god-demons calmed down, and all factions also calmed down.

Everyone felt that developing in peace and tranquility is the true principle, and harmony and stability triumph over everything!

"As expected, it's still like this."

The hidden Kongming and others were not at all surprised by this result.

After confirming that the enemy was merely a god-demon pretending to be mysterious rather than a true god-demon, they knew victory would definitely belong to Tang Luo.

This is also why they temporarily hid.

We just need to quietly watch others court death.

Come to think of it, I never imagined Tang Luo could settle things so cleanly and swiftly.

Originally Kongming and company thought Tang Luo would probably cripple the enemy's main force, after which everyone would join forces to clear the remnants.

As it turned out, it wasn't needed at all.

The real world once again regained a commendable tranquility, even calmer than before.

Many god-demons stepped forward, calling for peace, voluntarily turning into peace doves, and even quelling some existing conflicts in war‑torn areas.

With artillery blazing everywhere, it's anything but calm—what if we anger the Holy Monk Xuanzang?

Are you responsible? Can you afford the responsibility?

Although the number of god-demons was reduced by tens of thousands in one go by Tang Luo, overall it hasn't decreased; on the contrary, it's increasing.

Every day new god-demons appear.

Although Huan Shen was just pretending to be mysterious, he was right about one thing: a new road has been opened.

The future of the real world is not just a pure technology path.

Everything began to get on track, and many god-demons gradually entered missions.

And Tang Luo's twenty‑eighth mission arrived late—by the time they finished their previous mission, a full year and a half had passed.

"Cease War."

"The Great Qin Empire and the Holy Alliance are constantly at odds; stop the conflict between the two sides."

The information surfaced in the mind.

"Cease War" mission.

This matter, Tang Luo has handled in the Great Secluded World before—he's quite proficient, and similar missions are relatively easy to complete.

However, the mission's target is quite interesting.

The Great Qin Empire and the Holy Alliance are both renowned powerful forces in the Infinite World.
