Chapter 476: Jin Zhong Shattered, Demonic Flames Arrogant, Heavenly Master's Dharma Decree

The divine texts on the bell wall became increasingly brilliant. Amidst the bursts of bell sounds, the crimson-gold divine texts detached from the bell wall, flying and circling over the ruins, shrouding Wang Zhiyuan's figure!

The drifting golden divine texts vaguely formed a nameless Dao scripture of five thousand words.

This scripture was almost complete, only missing the ancient divine texts as a guide to provide the finishing touch and fill in the title!

Wang Zhiyuan gazed at this, which his several martial brothers had spent more than sixty years of true essence to engrave with true talismans bit by bit, and closed his eyes in helpless sigh!

On the golden bell floating in his palm, the spiritual texts exuding a tyrannical aura were dissolving and collapsing bit by bit.

The bell sound stirred up air waves that were like substance, containing faint golden light, sweeping toward all directions!

Wherever it went, the gods, demons, Yin souls, and evil ghosts shrouded in demonic qi collided with these substantial sound waves and collapsed, vanishing into the divine light!

In a corner of Jiankang city, the suddenly loud bell sound echoed between the ruins and wreckage, guarding one side.

At this time, the demonic clouds above Jiankang city rolled violently, seemingly noticing the bell sound in this area. From the rolling demonic qi, a hideous beast head gathered from demonic qi roared at the city below, stretched out a claw from the clouds, and slammed it down toward Wang Zhiyuan's location.

The huge beast claw swept past, easily breaking the bell sound, and slammed heavily into Wang Zhiyuan's location.

His strike, activated at the cost of the destruction of the magic treasure embryo, was interrupted by the beast claw.

A roar came from the sky: "Taotie Fu Fu Lao Mo, you actually take action against a junior, how shameless!"

A yellow talisman shrouded in thunder was rustling, drawing countless blazing white thunder lights to intertwine, turning into a huge prison, completely sealing the beast-head demon god.

Like a Qilin, resembling a lion, with sheep horns and a mouth full of fangs, the demon god opened its giant mouth to swallow the violent thunder in mid-air, and the rolling primordial qi tide rolled back, swallowed in one gulp.

A violent, fierce aura, as if wanting to swallow everything, swept through Jiankang like a storm.

"Taotie!"

Wang Zhiyuan's heart twitched fiercely. Such fierce beasts had long been extinct in the Earth Immortal Realm since the ancient primordial era. Even the remaining few mixed-blood Taoties were either cast into tripods by the Heavenly Merchant Divine Dynasty or skinned by the Immortal Qin First Emperor's army.

To still have such power now, this Taotie, which was almost pure-blooded, must be the true body of the life-bound god-demon refined by the Demonic Path, and only a Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Great Venerable comparable to a Primordial Spirit True Immortal could have such a true body.

Wang Zhiyuan's eyelids twitched, and a look of solemnity flashed in his pupils.

"Supreme Supreme Tian Mo attack, the Immortal Demon Body he refined probably won't be worse than a real Taotie. Such an old demon hiding in the Nine Abyss wouldn't come out for thousands of years... Now that even such a demon has appeared! Today in Jiankang, I'm afraid we will face a real demonic tribulation!"

"That yellow talisman seems to be the Longhu Mountain's Spirit Treasure Five Thunders Prison-Suppressing Divine Talisman. Could it be that Zhang Heavenly Master has taken action?"

"Is Master also..."

Wang Zhiyuan had just thought of Tao Heavenly Master when he heard a gentle and majestic voice enter his ears: "Yuan'er! The three great Heavenly Demons of the Demonic Path have joined forces to attack. Master and the two Heavenly Masters must join forces to resist and cannot spare the energy to protect the common people. You and the fellow Daoists go and expel those demons who have mixed into Jiankang!"

Hearing that voice, Wang Zhiyuan felt settled in his heart.

He activated the broken golden bell in his hand, raised it into the air, and poured magic power into it again, causing it to vibrate. The high-pitched bell sound swept through half the city again.

The broken divine texts burned, and a light that was incomparably brilliant and glorious shone in his palm. For an instant, it was impossible to look directly at, shining with the sun and moon, almost filling the entire heaven and earth.

Cui Dan covered his eyes, which were streaming with tears, and looked toward the Taichu Palace through the golden light.

There was the Imperial Observatory, the Yin-Yang School, and the hub of Jiankang's city-protecting great array. He grabbed the white deer's horns, activated his magic power based on his impression, and pointed, separating the collapsed houses and earth, saving several innocent men and women buried within.

In the distance, demons were still driving malevolent qi to burn and kill at will. Cui Dan was full of anger, looked toward the Taichu Palace, and said sternly: "Why hasn't the court opened the city-protecting great array yet?"

"Where is the Imperial Observatory? Where are the offerings in the palace? Are the Sima family all dead people now?"

At this time, another Demonic Path powerhouse revealed their life-bound god-demon.

The half-human, half-hand demonic body had blood wings on its back, and its face was like a demonic tiger, extremely angry and fierce. It wore human bones around its waist, scooped up people from the city to eat, and held a nine-skull short axe in its hand, carrying deep demonic light, originally not showing its color, presenting a pitch-black luster...

Seeing Wang Zhiyuan constantly vibrating the golden bell, this person flashed his blood wings and pounced up.

Wang Zhiyuan knew that this was a demon who cultivated the 'Qiongqi' (Poor Odd) demonic body, liked to eat people, and could refine the flesh and blood of living beings to help his cultivation, with human spiritual qi being the most abundant, which was a great supplement for such demons. If he were allowed to eat people, just a little slack would result in thousands of people being harmed!

The nine skulls on the short axe swallow and spit out the malevolent qi of living souls, and a fierce aura wraps around the blade. The living beings killed by this axe will transform into ghost thralls.

Once wounded by this axe, these chang ghosts would turn into curses and demons, invading the wounded person's body from the wound.

By then, even a great Yin Spirit cultivator like Wang Zhiyuan would only have to abandon his physical body and escape with his Yin Spirit.

The short axe slashed onto the spiritual light released by the golden bell, and the chang ghost malevolent qi invaded, allowing the short axe to slash into it with almost no obstruction.

Wang Zhiyuan vibrated the golden bell, and another hundred divine texts flew out, landing on the short axe, burning the living soul malevolent qi on it, emitting sizzling sounds. The divine texts were extinguished one by one, and the vast ancient sacrificial texts echoed gloomily. One by one, the living soul chang ghosts were stained with divine light, resolving their resentment and demonic qi, and the souls accompanied the divine light, falling back into the netherworld!

There were nine more bell sounds, and the divine texts floating on the bell wall fell one by one, forcibly destroying that demonic weapon.

The Qiongqi demon roared in pain, spread its wings, and abandoned the magic weapon, attacking only with its Dharma form... but Wang Zhiyuan vibrated the golden bell again, beating its half-demonic body almost to powder.

The immortal demonic body recovered its flesh and blood tenaciously, and the golden bell in Wang Zhiyuan's hand was only left with a quarter of the bell body, held in his hand like a broken copper bowl...

The two of them launched golden and black escape lights, intertwined, and the light of various supernatural powers and spells collided, erupted, and shattered!

…………

Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Bitter Spring hid his figure and fled toward Wuyi Lane. Wang Dao was suspected by the Sima family and could not stay in Jiankang. The Demonic Path side had determined that most of the Primordial Spirits in the Central Lands could not spare their energy, so they made a sudden raid on Jiankang. Now the Wang and Xie families were empty. If they could slaughter the clansmen of the two families and capture their souls, the Demonic Path would have bargaining chips to threaten Wang Dao, Xie An, and even the noble families of the world.

The demonic shadow easily swept across half of Jiankang city. Looking ahead, the Qin Huaihe crossed, and only the Zhu Que Bridge crossed the river, connecting the two banks.

At the bridgehead stood an old man with phoenix eyes and a long beard, wearing a Daoist robe but looking like a fisherman!

"Heavenly Master Sun En!"

Bitter Spring's eyelids jumped. His body turned into hundreds of millions of demonic shadows, merging into the wind and fleeing into the water.

Every breath, every wisp of primordial qi became his incarnation.

But Sun En just pointed his finger, drew a line in front of him, and an invisible barrier suddenly stood up. Clear qi intertwined, merging into the Qin Huaihe, like a water curtain, forcing all the hidden demons out. This section of the Qin Huaihe channel suddenly rolled up countless water eyes, turning into a mysterious array, blocking Bitter Spring tightly.

"This road is blocked!"

Sun En pulled a whisk from the void with his right hand, and the three thousand silver threads danced, extinguishing countless demonic shadows, forcing the demonic light to gather and Bitter Spring to reveal his form.

Riding the white deer through the streets and alleys, Cui Dan heard many people wailing in his ears, and even saw children crying helplessly in the ruins. If it were normal times, he would have stepped forward to help, but now he had to harden his heart and pass by quickly.

Anyone could do these things, but only cultivators could repel the demons who had broken into the city. Killing one demon was equivalent to saving thousands of people.

Thus, weighing the pros and cons, he only accelerated toward the place where the demonic qi was most rampant.

On the way, Cui Dan used spells to kill a few scattered demons. The demons who invaded Jiankang were sinister and vicious, often carrying hundreds or thousands of Gu insects, evil ghosts, demons, and evil objects on their bodies. When they arrived at a place, they would release these fierce objects to slaughter, while hiding in the dark to eliminate the Righteous Path cultivators who came out to protect the common people.

Righteous and evil cultivators were constantly falling in the city...

Many noble families in the city also activated their arrays, protecting their high-gate mansions.

As for the common people in the ordinary streets, only the scholars of the Imperial Academy, the Daoists of the Dao Academy, and a few minor gods who didn't participate in the Divine Domain War, and loose cultivators mixing in Jiankang, took action to defeat the invading demons and guard one side.

Cui Dan rode past and saw an Imperial Academy scholar lying dead in front, with a demon lying on top gnawing.

His face sank, and he struck out a clear light, scattering the demon. Cui Dan showed an unbearable expression, and just as he wanted to collect the corpse, the scholar's chest and abdomen suddenly broke open, and a blood shadow rushed out, attacking Cui Dan's chest directly. The blood light moved extremely fast, and he had no time to react. At this moment, only the white deer's horns emitted a five-colored brilliance, imprisoning the blood shadow in mid-air—it was a blind, snake-like Gu insect!

Cui Dan struck out a clear spirit fire, burning it to ashes.

He rubbed the white deer's head and sighed: "Deer Brother! Deer Brother... without you, let alone saving people! I don't know how many times I would have died!"

Cui Dan just wanted to continue his journey, but saw the white deer holding his sleeve, a kind of spiritual light flowing in its large apricot eyes. Cui Dan bowed slightly, looked at the alert look in the white deer's eyes, and realized: "Deer Brother, you mean the demon who left the trap hasn't left and is hiding in the dark, preparing to scheme against me?"

Cui Dan's heart tightened. The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, what should I do?

At this time, the white deer pulled his hand, and suddenly ran by itself. Only Cui Dan discovered that its direction had changed slightly.

The white deer leaped, landing on the Qin Huaihe channel, walking on the water with its deer hooves, moving as fast as the wind. Cui Dan lay on the deer's back, looking at the white deer's destination, and understood: "This is the road to the Princess's mansion!"

Sure enough, the white deer's pace was extremely fast, and in a short while, Wenjin Bridge was in sight.

Passing by the Bai Lu Hall, the white deer didn't stop. Its ears twitched, staring alertly at the surroundings, but its feet didn't stop, heading straight for Zhu Que Bridge...

At this time, in the river channel at the pier behind the Bai Lu Hall, a golden ring suddenly broke out of the water, snaring a figure wrapped in a black robe in the water.

The old servant activated a magic tool wrapped in red light, guarding the Bai Lu Hall alertly, and saw nine circular rings triggered in succession, breaking out of the water one by one, snaring the demonic shadow.

Immediately, the nine rings linked together, tearing the person into pieces, and the corpse fragments scattered in the river channel.

The Bai Lu lets out a triumphant *yoyo* neigh!

Cui Dan saw the golden rings dive back into the water and finally realized that this cunning white deer was leading the pursuers behind it into the array seals!

"This is the seal the Princess set up to guard the mansion?" Cui Dan sighed in his heart: "The Princess's seal killed the great enemy who almost schemed against me. My cultivation, although better than before, is still not successful..."

"If Big Brother, the Princess, or Qian Big Brother were here, they would have started a massacre long ago, making the demons tremble with fear!"

For the first time, he was shrouded in a sense of powerlessness, and a desire for power rose in his heart!

At this time, the distant golden bell rang long, shattering the Qiongqi demon, and the demonic clouds in the sky were torn apart by a streak of thunder light, revealing the huge Taotie demonic body and a figure that was small and thin by comparison.

But that old and thin figure was wrapped in rolling thunder light. Under the blessing of heaven's might, he was even more majestic than the ancient Taotie. Taiji, Primordial, Three Realms, Great Might, Great Savage, Great Brahma, Qian-Origin, Five Elements, Eight Trigrams—dozens of types of divine thunder were stirred into a ball, pulled by a yellow talisman paper.

Wisps of jade-colored thunder light intertwined on the yellow talisman, and were pulled by that figure, falling toward the huge head of the ancient Taotie.

Streaks of thunder tore through the void, carrying the terrifying power to beat all primordial qi into chaos, drowning the ancient Taotie.

"Heavenly Venerable Subduing Demons, Jade Purity Divine Thunder!"

The majestic and solemn figure emitted the most magnificent voice!

If Qian Chen were here, he would surely be shocked. This streak of thunder light had already approached the limit of power in this realm, the power only possessed after mastering the Five Thunders supernatural power to the great success stage.

And the divine thunder issued was even more outside the Shenxiao Heavenly Mansion, not controlled by the thunder department of the Heavenly Realm!

"Dao Academy disciples, take orders!" The figure in the sky said majestically: "I, with the dignity of a Heavenly Master, command the disciples and believers of the Dao Sect in the world..."

That figure formed a seal with both hands, holding his fists like Yin and Yang, unfolding like a scroll, and a golden dharma decree condensed from magic power slowly opened between his hands, with countless talisman texts jumping on it, following his words, falling onto the dharma decree.

"Eliminate demons and guard the Dao! Protect all living beings!"

That figure lifted the Heavenly Master's Dharma Seal in his hand, which fell onto the talisman decree. Another middle-aged scholar, suppressing countless Gu insects gathered into demonic clouds with one palm, walked over from afar, and a talisman seal also appeared in his palm, pressing onto the talisman decree.

Finally, not far in front of Cui Dan, a Daoist man on Zhu Que Bridge scanned Jiankang coldly, and a talisman seal also appeared in his hand, falling onto the dharma decree in the sky!

The three purple seal texts merged into one, turning into a brilliant dharma seal, transmitted into the spiritual sense of all the Daoist disciples who had received the register!

It was—"Orthodox Alliance Power"!

"Respect the Heavenly Master's Dharma Decree!"

On the Jiangxin Islet not far from Jiankang city, a group of Daoist cultivators opened the seals, abandoned the Chaotian Palace, drove various magic tools, and fell toward Jiankang city like meteors.

Major noble families also opened their arrays, dispatching disciples of their clans to suppress demons in various places...

In Jiankang City, one Daoist cultivator after another rushes into mid-air, and magic treasures—the foundations of noble families—are impressively raised. Over a dozen Yin Spirit cultivators join forces to partition Jiankang City, cutting off the demonic cultivators who have infiltrated it, sweeping through the city inch by inch to clear out those demon lords, gu-insects, evil objects, and wicked ghosts!

After the initial chaos, the Righteous Path cultivators in Jiankang city finally reacted and began to counterattack... ===== CHAPTER 477 =====
