Chapter 273: The Death of Su the Beast! The Newborn Dao Sovereign

~10 min read 1,920 words

Hum.

An outline of a Dao Court appeared, vague in the mortal world.

Shen Ting, the Four Seas, and the Eight Wilds all extended within it.

"This, this is……"

Whether Dao Court or Holy Court, they were all stunned by this scene.

Because Liu Meng and others poured all their power into Shen Qingli, holding nothing back.

Liu Meng, Shen Qing Mo and the five of them doing this, everyone wasn't surprised, even took it for granted.

But the Dragon Prince and his twelve companions also exerted all their strength, holding nothing back.

And because of this complete trust, Shen Qingli's long-planned trump card came into being mysteriously.

Even before obtaining the Crown Prince's intelligence, she had already selected the contestants and had a plan for victory in mind.

Compared to the first round, this eighteen-person holy war emphasizes the power of team combat even more!

But the eighteen Rakshasas of the Western Sect are a well-coordinated tacit-understanding combination, what about them?

Many people don't even know each other yet; how could they have tacit understanding?

We can only resort to a surprising tactic.

"I need you to trust me."

"At the critical moment, give me all your strength."

"Leave the rest to me."

When Shen Qingli found the Dragon Prince, Qing Yi, Bai Qi Yun and others, her only demand of them was 'trust me'.

Three days is not enough to cultivate tacit understanding among the eighteen people; improvising any battle formation is unrealistic.

Even though she had taken out eight of the eighteen Rakshasas, and the replacements lacked the original tacit understanding, they were still surely much better than their scattered eighteen.

Liu Meng and the five of them are completely trustworthy of her, always able to follow her lead, but they cannot make up for the lack of tacit understanding in cultivation, divine techniques, and immortal arts.

But the Dragon Prince and his group are different; they cannot blindly obey Shen Qingli's arrangements like Liu Meng's group, even if they are willing, on the battlefield in a crisis, their subconscious will still react with self-preservation.

Therefore, Shen Qingli only needs them to trust her at the critical moment.

But now……

Actually, the critical moment hasn't arrived yet.

Yet Shen Qingli surprisingly discovered that all their power had gathered upon her.

Faintly, it seemed that an invisible qi mechanism was also mysteriously gathering toward her?

Since that's the case, she went with the flow and activated the Immortal-Demon Transformation!

Using the Nine Chief Separation Meridians formed from her dantian;

Using the Meridian Divine Channels derived from the Twenty-Four Lunar Mansions;

Next……

It is the texture derived from deducing the Four Seas and Eight Wilds.

"Come on!"

Shen Qingli herself is Shen Ting!

She inherits the Dao Sovereign's legacy!

She also possesses the Four Spirits Divine Body!

This itself means that the legacies of the Dao Palace and Four Extremes Divine Palace contained within Shen Ting are all in her.

Producing Shen Ting is easy for her.

Now——

Based on the trust of the Dragon Prince, Qing Yi, Bai Qi Yun and the twelve others, the Four Seas and Eight Wilds also manifested along with Shen Ting.

Central Shen Ting;

Outer Four Seas;

Eight Wilds as defense!

The Dao Court, unprecedentedly condensed.

"This is my Dao Court inside and out."

Looking at the light curtain, the Queen Mother of the West suddenly grew old.

The previous generation's Dao protectors completely relaxed.

Shen Kuo's eyes showed reluctance, 'Queen Mother of the West,'

'I'm fine.' The Queen Mother of the West felt relieved.

Zhong Minglan patted her shoulder, her eyes reddening.

Actually, the Queen Mother of the West really has good reason to target Shen Qingli!

After all, Shen Qingli's rise means the Queen Mother of the West's decline.

At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West has completely fallen from the Eternal Ancient Realm; she is no longer the guardian deity of the Dao Palace who commands wind and cloud.

'Soon I'll be able to follow the Sovereign.' The Queen Mother of the West felt relieved, the little Dao Sovereign is getting stronger and stronger.

Moreover, with the Kunlun Divine Lord and Zhu Que Nu Di protecting her, what does she have to worry about?

If she truly gets the chance to meet the Sovereign, she can boast with ease.

"At least wait until we win completely, wait for A Li to return."

Zhong Minglan worries that if the Queen Mother of the West completely lets go, she might not live to see that day.

'Naturally.' The Queen Mother of the West smiled, her black hair now snow-white.

Zhong Minglan really can't bear it, 'Perhaps the Sovereign has not yet returned to the void.'

Shen Kuo did not agree with what she said.

But if she wanted to say it, Shen Kuo did not stop her.

The Queen Mother of the West was slightly taken aback…

"Survive."

Zhong Minglan also knew about Di Jin's act of turning Buddha into Dao; this matter is of great importance and absolutely cannot be spoken of too much.

But the Queen Mother of the West always felt that the Dao Lord had returned to the Void, and as his protector of the Dao, she should go with him.

Now, the Queen Mother of the West has dropped in realm, and her vitality has also greatly dissipated!

If we don't let the Queen Mother of the West regain her faith, I fear she will truly return to the Void!

As the most faithful servant of the Dao Lord, the followers…

The Queen Mother of the West indeed cannot survive in a world without the lord; she fulfills her duty, and that is her Dao.

"Good."

The Queen Mother of the West did not understand the deeper meaning of Zhong Minglan's words, nor could she guess what Di Jin intended to do, but she understood! Zhong Minglan would not speak without purpose.

In other words, if she lives, she might still see the lord again!

Then she naturally must live! To meet the lord and report everything that happened in his absence.

"Now let's take a look at our A Li."

While Zhong Minglan was speaking, she saw Shen Qingli fling the giant monk away again!

But this time's fling! It was not relying solely on her personal strength, but the power of all the four seas and eight wildernesses.

Liu Meng and the others were not idle either; they hurried to heal the wounded six and protect each of them!

And this time—

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

……

The eighteen monks vomited blood one after another.

Both great alliances have failed!

For them, these are naturally heavy injuries!

But the first time, they could barely suppress the injuries.

This time, they can't suppress it! As soon as they disperse, they vomit blood, and their breath has also greatly weakened.

But Shen Qingli dared not be careless; she clearly remembered that the Crown Prince said they were the Eighteen Rakshasas!

In the stack of secret information he gave, these people should originally have been worldly cultivators, not ascetic monks.

However—

It seems no one in the ecclesiastical court knows.

"They're all half‑crippled!"

"What do we do? Can we still fight,"

Everyone in the ecclesiastical court was anxious, and the expressions of Tian Yi and Di Er were also quite solemn.

Jialuona wore a grim look, seeming about unable to stay seated, yet there was nothing she could do.

"Alas."

The Regent Prince let out a weak sigh.

"Shen Qingli, you really are beyond my expectations."

The Regent Prince slowly rose to his feet, and Luo Ya supported her.

"You don't want to bet with me, do you? Want me to kowtow? You can bet."

"You're all going to lose, and you're still rushing over to give away your heads?" Qing Yan asked in surprise.

The Regent Prince ignored her, only looking at Shen Qingli, saying, "But I have one condition: I will infuse my soul into those eighteen people and fight you. If you win, I will, as you wish, kowtow to apologize to you, your family, and your friends."

Shen Qingli's expression trembled! This is indeed what she wanted.

You damned wretch, you should indeed kowtow and apologize to her and her loved ones.

"Divine Princess, don't agree to her!" Jin Wu sensed a trap.

"We'll…" the Grand Elder's single word of victory was swallowed back.

Because the eighteen monks on the battle platform were changing breath! They transformed from the appearance of otherworldly youthful eminent monks into that of grim evil spirits!

The Dao Court up and down all changed color! Everyone watched this transformation in disbelief, even feeling panic.

"They, they have recovered, and even become more ferocious!" the Bright Moon Goddess's voice grew tense.

"Then we certainly cannot agree!" Jin Wu firmly refused; the Regent Prince's move is essentially a dead end! Evil spirits plus the Regent Prince—how could we win? Not to mention winning, we're likely doomed to die!

"How?" The Regent Prince knew that making her kowtow and apologize was also Shen Qingli's inner knot, and perhaps even part of her inner demon.

Jin Wu and the other gods all looked toward Shen Qingli, worried she would agree.

But Shen Qingli shook her head, saying, "No matter how, we can bet, but you cannot enter the fray."

She's not stupid either; the Eighteen Rakshasas are already highly coordinated, and if she hadn't first eliminated eight of them, she would have had no chance of victory.

If the Regent Prince joins, the Dao Court truly has no chance of victory! If it were only her, she could gamble.

But behind her, there are seventeen teammates who fully trust her, as well as the future of the Dao Court above and below!

Without a sure chance of victory, she will not stake everything on a single throw.

"You're afraid." The Regent Prince tried to goad her.

But it was useless; Shen Qingli has always been calm.

"What's there to be afraid of? You're a big shot of the Eternal Ancient Realm, I'm just a minor earth immortal—what's wrong with being afraid of you?"

"However, 'Junior sister, if you're worried about me, it's not needed—you did say that, right? In her calculations, there's still me, our Tianxing Sect, so naturally I also want her to kowtow to me!'"

Liu Meng understood Shen Qingli, knowing she must be thinking for her and for these people.

"Junior sister, we don't need you to worry either," Zhan Yue Feng and Li Yidao also said.

"Little sister, follow your heart, we are not burdening you," Shen Qing Tong also spoke.

"Mm!" Shen Qing Mo followed!

These are all people who share life and death with Shen Qingli.

They will unconditionally support Shen Qingli, no one surprised.

However, the Dragon Prince also spoke, "At the moment I stepped onto the battle platform, I, Long San, had already signed the life-and-death contract! I don't seek to survive, only to be glorious! I also want to see the Regent of the Holy See make everyone in the Daoist Court kowtow to me!"

"Count me in." Qing Qing spoke.

"And me." Bai Qi Yun said.

"Me."

"Us."

Across the four seas and eight wildernesses, not a single young talent retreated.

Shen Qingli did not turn back, but she could sense that they were looking at her with determined eyes.

But this still wasn't enough to sway her; the more they trusted her, the more she felt responsible for them!

But—

"Promise it."
