Chapter 182: Disturbing the Heavens and Shaking the Earth

"Sss..."

An aura of world-dominating power descended, crossing through the boundary wall.

It was a fierce avian with nine dragon heads, possessing a massive body, three long and resplendent phoenix feathers growing from its tail, and a pair of giant black wings that blotted out the sky, radiating a dense black glow.

"Black Heaven Jiao! This is a titan from the Upper Realm of the Dao Sect descending; rumor has it this is a fierce avian that carries the bloodline of both dragon and phoenix," Tianhu Shaonü murmured, her face full of shock.

"Hmph! Only daring to show itself after Feng Lao has left, calling itself a great power—is it even worthy of those two words?" Xiaohuang's gaze turned cold as she looked at the arriving giant avian, feeling extreme disdain.

"Indeed!" Mengchen, Heizi, and the others felt Xiaohuang's words were reasonable; it had lurked in the back, only daring to appear once Feng Lao and the others had left. Such conduct truly lacked the bearing of a great power.

"Juniors, hand over the precious technique in your hands! I will certainly keep my word and will definitely not harm your lives."

That Black Heaven Jiao slowly flapped its wings, reigning over the high heavens; its giant wings, radiating black light, blocked the sunlight, casting the area below into gloom.

"You little hybrid bird, have you figured out how you were hybridized yourself?" The Vajra Pestle glowed and floated upward, its tone carrying a hint of mockery.

"Uh..." Hearing this, Mengchen and the others were stunned, never expecting that a usually sacred and supreme existence could actually utter such vulgar and crude words; some things were not fit for a person to say.

"Who are you calling a hybrid bird!" The Dao Sect's great power, the Black Heaven Jiao, roared in anger.

"Don't roar at me; I'm afraid that if I let out a sound, you'll be gone, not even leaving your bones behind." The Vajra Pestle's voice was faint, not taking the massive fierce avian before it seriously in the slightest.

Subsequently, the Vajra Pestle asked again in a teasing manner: "Right! You still haven't answered me; have you figured out what you were hybridized from?"

The Black Heaven Jiao was furious; to think that after roaming the Upper Realm for many years, it would be called a hybrid bird by a mere talking precious artifact.

"Watch me destroy you." Sensing that the Vajra Pestle's aura was not strong, the Black Heaven Jiao was enraged. Its giant black wings vibrated, and countless chains of order shot out, binding the Vajra Pestle firmly.

"Look at you—the heads, tail, scales, feathers, claws, and wings on your body, which one doesn't represent a different creature? Honestly, I am quite curious how you were hybridized." Although bound by the chains of order, the Vajra Pestle's faint, teasing voice still drifted out.

Mengchen, Xiaohuang, Heizi, Xiyao, and Yuechan were all shocked by the Vajra Pestle's words; perhaps only an existence like the Vajra Pestle would dare to speak to a great power descending from the Upper Realm in such a way!

The Black Heaven Jiao was about to explode with rage; the chains tightened, as if wanting to tear this disrespectful fellow into eight pieces.

"Crack..." The chains were pulled until they snapped, yet the Vajra Pestle remained completely unscathed. Seeing this, the Black Heaven Jiao was greatly shocked.

Afterward, its nine Jiao heads spat out Divine Fire, wanting to refine the Vajra Pestle, yet it still failed to make it shut up.

"I've asked so many times and you still won't say; it seems you haven't even figured out how you were hybridized yourself." Amidst the Divine Fire, the Vajra Pestle's voice continued to echo faintly.

But the next moment, the Vajra Pestle's tone changed, becoming somewhat heavy, with a hint of chill radiating: "Since that is the case, are you even worthy of the Ten Fiends technique? You had better roll back and study how you came to be first!"

As the words fell, the Vajra Pestle's entire body erupted with golden light. The Divine Fire spat out by the Black Heaven Jiao was instantly repelled by the golden light, and following that, its terrifying aura began to spread rapidly.

"You... what kind of person are you exactly?"

At this moment, the Black Heaven Jiao's heart palpitated; that terrifying aura made its hair stand on end.

"Its previous aura was clearly not this frightening; how did it suddenly..." The Black Heaven Jiao was immensely shocked, its heart entangled by endless terror.

It truly dared not imagine that a mere young boy from the Lower Realm had two forbidden existences hidden by his side, and it didn't know if, besides that Supreme who had left and this precious artifact, there were other terrifying trump cards. Just thinking about it made its spine turn cold.

"Did you think that because the Supreme left, you could act like a king and tyrant without any concerns?" The Vajra Pestle shone with eternal light and pressed down, instantly forcing the massive Black Heaven Jiao to prostrate in the void, trembling.

"You... who exactly are you?" The Black Heaven Jiao's words trembled; it knew it had offended a truly terrifying existence. This time, it feared there was no turning back; it was finished.

From beginning to end, it was suppressed by the terrifying momentum, prostrating in the void; its life and death were now controlled by the terrifying existence before it.

"I ask you, you haven't even figured out how you came to be, are you still worthy of the Ten Fiends technique?"

The Vajra Pestle's voice suddenly became grand, acting upon the Black Heaven Jiao's body, causing its primordial spirit to tremble violently. It felt as if its internal organs were about to be shattered, and a large mouthful of fresh blood sprayed toward the earth.

In an instant, the earth, unable to withstand the monstrous power contained within that blood, overturned. From this point alone, one could see the terrifying nature of this Black Heaven Jiao.

"Not... not worthy!" The Black Heaven Jiao trembled, responding with its voice.

"Tell me, am I right? Are you a hybrid?" The Vajra Pestle asked again in a deep voice.

"Right! Everything you say is right; I am a hybrid, I should go study how I came to be, and should not covet the Ten Fiends true technique." The Black Heaven Jiao responded hurriedly, its voice quite loud.

"Ah, this... a generation of great power is actually afraid of death to this extent!" Tianhu Shaonü, Yuechan, and the others were extremely astonished.

Mengchen's lips curled slightly, revealing a smile; he had not expected the Vajra Pestle to have such a surprising side, forcing an Upper Realm great power to this point.

"Hmph! Roll away! Killing a hybrid product like you would simply dirty my hands. I'll spare your life for now; when my Ancient Monk successor rises, I'll use you to practice."

As the words fell, the Vajra Pestle erupted with a flash of grand light, directly throwing the prostrate, massive Black Heaven Jiao into the boundary wall.

Afterward, the Vajra Pestle descended and instructed Mengchen: "Mengchen! Remember, it offended me today, and its death sentence is set. In the future, you take its life back for me."

"Good!" Mengchen replied. Thinking about it carefully, that Upper Realm great power was nothing more than this; in order to survive, it still begged for mercy just the same.

"Come... I will take you all to see the current state of the Bayu!" The Vajra Pestle then said faintly.

Subsequently, its entire body emitted golden light once more, reflecting into the void, presenting one shocking scene after another—these were the astonishing sights caused by the Upper Realm titans across the Bayu after descending to the Lower Realm.

The power of the Vajra Pestle was truly heaven-defying; by simply using its methods, it could look across every part of the Bayu and capture the great powers who had descended from the Upper Realm.

The first image presented the dojo of a certain great sect in the Huang Domain; now, that place had become a ruin, with black lightning surging and the firmament shattered. A massive, incomparable pillar of heavenly black lightning shot straight down.

Mengchen and the others were very shocked; that black lightning pillar was too thick. In the image, the horizon seemed to be filled, covering the firmament, accompanied by endless arcs of destructive lightning; its power was world-dominating.

"Great power experts descend to the Lower Realm, yet they are settling petty grievances." The Vajra Pestle was disdainful and directly swiped this image away.

Next, the image shifted again, and it began to examine another location.

It was a mountain valley where Dao sounds rumbled, heaven and earth roared, and chaotic energy surged. A fairy root was glowing, accompanied by the sound of chanting.

"The Diyige Shengen is about to emerge, attracting many forbidden existences to take action. This was originally the Diyige Shengen of the Upper Realm!" the Vajra Pestle said faintly.

"Boom!"

Just after it finished speaking, the firmament shattered like glass, and a purple giant hand reached down, covering the sky and earth, shrouded in hazy chaotic mist! Between heaven and earth, lightning flashed across from time to time, filling the world; those were the lights of the Great Calamity. Supreme figures were battling, cracking the boundary wall and looking down upon the Bayu.

"Since it is the Diyige Shengen, why not go and snatch it?" Mengchen's gaze was like a torch, whispering as he stared at the divine root wreathed in dense fairy mist in the image.

The Vajra Pestle said: "This object is extraordinary; it cannot be obtained."

"Cannot be obtained!" Mengchen was horrified; what kind of divine root could it be, that even the Vajra Pestle said it could not be obtained?

The Vajra Pestle switched to another image.

At the edge of a certain domain, an old woman carried a medicine basket, dressed in simple, ancient clothing, looking like an old farm woman, yet her methods and prestige were enough to scare people to death.

With a light touch, the domain wall broke open, and she stepped steadily inside, traveling into another domain. Immediately following, a giant hand that propped up the sky broke through the boundary and spanned the air, carrying countless chains of order in its palm, wantonly capturing the Venerables of the Lower Realm.

This day, for the entire Bayu, was like the creation of the world; Upper Realm titans battled, blood stained the heavenly river, and the aura of slaughter shook the past, present, and future—it was a tragedy never seen before.

It was not just that heaven-reaching giant hand; others had also taken action, wantonly capturing the Venerables of the Bayu. They intended to use these Venerables to refine flesh-and-blood medicinal pills; it was a posture of sweeping them all up and taking them away, a calamity unimaginable for the Venerables and their kind.

"Ah... no!" A massive demonic ape shrieked, but it was difficult to escape its fate.

It roared toward the sky, its entire body covered in cold, bloody light, transforming into something tens of thousands of feet long, wanting to soar into the sky and escape into the space beyond the domains, but this was entirely futile.

A rough, giant hand reached out, and no matter its thousands of divine abilities or ten thousand spells, it could not evade it and was snatched away in one grasp.

The scene shifted again...

It was before the Immortal Mountain in the Xuan Domain, where the old woman who looked like a farm wife appeared, carrying a medicine basket, smiling, looking very kind, and muttering to herself: "What a fine medicine field; it is the inheritance of that person."

The mountains were majestic, with purple energy rushing into the heavens; at a glance, this was a place where dragons soar, the ancestral root of ten thousand mountains.

"Hmm, taking advantage of the chaos to pick a few stalks should be no problem." The old woman smiled, raised a hand, and clear radiance spilled out, sinking into the Immortal Mountain.

Instantly, the area was covered in dense symbols, the power of the magic arrays surging to the heavens, absolutely capable of strangling Venerables, or even deities; it was incomparably violent.

"Who is attacking? This is the Immortal Mountain, the immortal orthodoxy inheritance of the Upper Realm!" Someone shouted, their voice trembling and filled with fear.

Because, at this moment, a massive pressure descended, making everyone's heart and soul tremble, and since the Bayu were in great chaos, it had already spread throughout the world, naturally making people even more uneasy.

"Boom!"

In the restricted area of the Immortal Mountain, several ancient caves exploded, and the powerful figures who were in seclusion within were forcibly detained; their entire bodies flashed with immeasurable light, and though they struggled with all their might, they were still no match.

No matter how heaven-defying their magic power was, or how they roared at the sky, they could not change the outcome and were plunged into the old woman's medicine basket. Yin winds howled, purple energy surged, the galaxy hung upside down, and all sorts of strange phenomena appeared.

When everything calmed down, the high-level figures of the Immortal Mountain had faces ashen as iron; several ancestor-level figures had vanished, and their places of seclusion had collapsed into ruins.

"We must report this to the Upper Realm! Do they think my Immortal Mountain has no one?!"

It was not just this place; other immortal inheritances were also attacked.

Mengchen was extremely worried and hurriedly had the Vajra Pestle shift the scene to the Western Sect in an instant.

In the Western Sect, Lingshan stood one after another; after half a month of reconstruction, the place glowed with radiance once more, with strands of Buddha light illuminating the ten directions, peaceful and serene, golden rivers flowing, and ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herbs wafting with fragrance.

The mountains were wreathed in auspicious energy, divine beasts appeared, five-colored deer carried spiritual herbs, auspicious birds danced, fragrant orchids covered the ground, and colorful light steamed upward, as if it were an immortal pure land.

Suddenly, Mengchen saw from the screen that a Daoist had descended upon the Western Sect; his appearance was ordinary, his temperament simple and unadorned, but his skin occasionally took on a purple-gold luster, he had six arms, held a horsetail whisk, and carried a large gourd on his back.

He was taking action; with a point of his finger, clear radiance flashed, and the mountains ahead collapsed and the earth cracked, with many Lingshan peaks turning into fly ash, leaving only the main peak.

After doing this, the Daoist sneered at the horizon, clearly harboring resentment.

"Swoosh!"

He flicked his horsetail whisk, and three thousand silver threads flew out, transforming into a galaxy that sank into the rows of Lingshan; on the spot, several Great Elders were swept up and thrown into the gourd.

"Who dares to violate my pure land?"

Mengchen saw Jinchanzi shouting in the scene, Buddha light illuminating everything, and all the great arrays fully activated.

"Hmm, there is a good thing in that Divine Pool; not bad." The old Daoist whispered, purple light flowing between his opening and closing eyes, extremely intimidating.

He reached out a giant hand, sinking into the many divine deity arrays, straight into the most magnificent Buddhist temple; Dao energy flowed, breaking through everything, and nothing could stop him.

In the main hall was a Divine Pool, with golden liquid flowing, the fragrance hitting the nose, and Buddha light circulating; he reached out and grabbed a world-rare medicinal treasure from the pool—a Divine Lotus, which radiated endless brilliance.

"Stop!" Jinchanzi shouted to stop him, but it was of no avail.

"How noisy! A mere Divine Fire Realm dares to shout at me!" The Daoist shouted coldly and was about to strike.

"Stop it!" Mengchen shouted anxiously from across the screen.

"Gangzi! I beg you, do not let that person hurt Lao Tuzi." The next instant, Mengchen pleaded with the Vajra Pestle.

"I know what is in your heart." The Vajra Pestle spoke, and following that, a brilliant divine ray shot through the screen.

At the same time, above the horizon of the displayed scene, a brilliant divine ray suddenly shot down.

The Daoist focused his attention for an instant and swung the horsetail whisk in his hand to block, but the divine ray instantly shattered the whisk in his hand and pierced through his chest, blood blooming.

Then the voice of the Vajra Pestle reached that world from across the screen: "I will not kill you today, get out!"

In that very instant, a divine statue enshrined in the temple hall roared, emitting a grand sound and manifesting an immortal dharma body.

"Boom!"

The sound shook the heavens and earth, and immeasurable light rushed into the heavens within the Western Sect; that was the Upper Realm mighty figure of the Western Sect descending.

The dharma body of the Western Sect's mighty figure spoke across the distance, expressing thanks: "I do not know which fellow Daoist has helped, many thanks."

Then the dharma body's tone turned stern, fixing its gaze on the Daoist: "Daoist, for you to use this identity to forcibly attack my Lower Realm dojo is a bit too much."

"Hmph!" Amidst the immeasurable light, the Daoist snorted coldly at the Western Sect's mighty figure.

At this moment, his expression was flustered; having suffered a blow earlier, it was very clear that he had been targeted by an unknown taboo.

"I will settle the score with you another day!"

The large gourd on the Daoist's back flew up, carrying him as he broke through the void and fled far away.

"Hmph! You want to leave just like that? I fear that would be letting you off too easily."

The divine statue emitted a grand sound, radiating scorching light, and finally, a sixteen-foot Golden Body stepped out to pursue, its might shaking the past and present.

Finally, at Mengchen's request, the Vajra Pestle took action again, releasing a brilliant curtain of light to shroud Lingshan.

Without a doubt, at this very moment, the Bayu were in complete chaos, and it was not certain that the Upper Realm mighty figure of the Western Sect could protect the Lower Realm dojo.

Mengchen's action was undoubtedly because he did not want Jinchanzi to be harmed; Jinchanzi had raised him to adulthood, and though he was a teacher, he was more like a father.
