Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 346: Chapter 231: Sideways Entry_2

With a sigh, he drew his sword, and in an instant, a Haoqi as vast as a dragon swept forth, immediately causing the Blood Moon Demon Realm to subside.

It was the ancient Immortal Artifact – Haoqi Long Breath!

Despite being damaged due to the Ancient Demon Calamity and Dark Chaos, and further marred by recent battles, an Immortal Artifact is still an Immortal Artifact, a cut above even Supreme Grade Spiritual Treasure.

Relying on this, after Corpse Resolution, his battle power could match Divinity Transformation, representing the greatest potentiality of the Haoqi Sect, and it was also the main reason why the Blood Demon’s repeated chaos always ended in suppression.

Haoqi Long Breath and the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, one righteous and the other evil, stood in stark opposition.

Seeing this, Zheng Yin wasted no words and simply made a slash.

With a single slash, a line of blood appeared, and the void bore the scar of injury.

The boundless blood sea surged forth with the blade, condensing essence, spirits, resentment, and Demonic Qi at the edge of the blade.

With such a strike, even a Nascent Soul after Corpse Resolution would perish on the spot if struck, transforming into a Blood God Demon Child within the blood sea.

However, Haoqi Long Breath stood fearless, its sword striking against the blade to cleave through the blood sea’s waves.

“Bang!”

A sonorous clash echoed, and the mighty blood sea turned back upon itself, forcing the Blood Demon’s figure to retreat as he stared at the Demon Blade in his hand without a word.

Meng Fuyao glanced at the sword in his hand and saw a bright red notch, a wound left by the Demon Soldier’s blade.

The Immortal Artifact was damaged, but he was unconcerned. He said to the Blood Demon, “This sword is an ancient Immortal Artifact, forged by the cosmic Haoqi, having endured the Ancient Demon Calamity and Dark Catastrophes, having slain countless True Seeds of Heavenly Demons. You are not an Ancient Demon but a degenerate of later generations; how could you withstand my sword’s edge?”

With each word spoken, it was partly a probe, partly a heart-strike.

Hearing this, Zheng Yin could only sneer, “Merely bones in tombs, ornaments for burial. Such damaged goods harbor no hope for enlightenment. Your ambitions are pitiful and laughable. Even if you Ascend and escape this realm, what then? Still merely gasping for survival, unable to change your fated essence. Why not join my Demon Path and defy fate?”

“The Demon Path descends into the abyss, either it’s me or it’s not!”

Meng Fuyao’s expression remained unchanged. “In former days, my Daoist comrades devoted a lifetime to arduous cultivation, yet ended up with this bitter fruit today; it is indeed deplorable!”

Having said this, he unleashed a sword strike. The Haoqi roared like a dragon, charging straight into the blood sea.

“Hum, I have merged with the Yuan Demon, the merits of two realms, the grand road is wide and smooth. How could this be a bitter fruit?”

“You, engulfed in the sea of suffering, will you not convert to my Demon Path?”

Zheng Yin laughed wildly and made another slash, clashing fiercely with the Haoqi dragon.

“Boom!”

The clash of Immortal and Demon shook heaven and earth.

The Haoqi dragon roared furiously, and the vast blood sea boiled.

In the end, the Blood Demon was outmatched, and the vast blood sea evaporated under the heated Haoqi, and in a moment, more than half of it vanished.

In contrast, the Haoqi dragon remained fierce and spirited.

“Humph!”

“As long as the Blood Moon remains, the blood sea does not dry up, the Blood God does not die!”

Though at a disadvantage, the Blood Demon remained unafraid. With a sharp cry, the blood sea surged violently, seeking to restore its previous state.

Even though he was outmaneuvered this time, having half of his Blood Seed sealed by the Four Sects, resulting in a significant loss of Cultivation, his essence lay not only in the True Seed of the Blood Demon but also in the Blood Moon Demon Realm and the corrupt Demonic Qi.

The Blood Moon Demon Realm, condensing Demonic Qi, could sustain the blood sea from drying, the Blood Seed from dying out, placing the Blood Demon on undefeated ground.

“Humph!”

Seeing this, Li Qiankun also snorted coldly and ascended once more into the Haoqi Cloud Dragon, rocketing towards the sinister Blood Moon in the sky.

To pull the carpet out from under the feet, to sever the support once more!

“Where do you think you’re going!”

The Blood Demon roared angrily, unleashing another slash, aiming to behead the Cloud Dragon.

However, Haoqi Long Breath pressed on against the Demon Path, holding back the momentum of the blood sea and ensuring the Cloud Dragon covered the sky.

Not only the Haoqi Long Breath, but even the light of Buddhism suddenly appeared.

Three monks of Buddhism, each seated in different directions, with Yuan Spirits shimmering behind them.

The Longhua Treasure Tree, Vajra Bodhi, Amitabha Firm Gold.

Three Spiritual Objects capable of Demon Transformation, emitted the light of the Brahma Sect, forming three holy images to suppress the blood sea with the vigor of Demon Subduing.

The Vajra Demon Subduing array!

Under the bright light of Buddhism, the blood sea once again steamed.

By this time, the Cloud Dragon had reached the sky, coiling and obscuring the Blood Moon.

With the Blood Moon hidden, the Demon Realm was isolated. In one fell swoop, the foundation of the Blood Demon’s strength was cut off.

Seizing the opportunity, Haoqi Long Breath launched a slash, splitting open the head of the Blood Demon and dividing his body.

As before.

But with a slight difference.

The prior sealing had been half real, half feigned, in reality only sealing one half of a Blood Seed.

The other half was in the control of the Blood Demon or perhaps inherently part of the Blood Demon in the Corpse Resolved form of the Snow God Mountain.

Zheng Yin wanted to snatch the chestnuts from the fire, to gain the trust of the Four Sects this way, to facilitate the Corpse Resolution Ascension, then to strike during the moment of Ascension, capturing all the Corpse Resolved of the Four Sects in one fell swoop.

That was his scheme!

“`

Although the opponent had seen through the plan and even countered it, turning the tables on him, in the end, he still left half a Blood Seed which was not only able to move but also possessed considerable combat power; it simply didn’t constitute a full seal.

Now it was different.

The dagger is revealed when the drawing is completed, it’s absolutely true.

Once sealed, he would have no chance of escape within a hundred years, and everything would develop as Meng Fuyao had said before.

He couldn’t accept it, he couldn’t accept it at all!

But the current situation was not under his control.

With a Haoqi Long Breath, a sword slashed down, cutting through the Blood Demon’s body and splitting the waves of the blood sea.

The blood water steamed, the blood sea condensed, and in an instant turned into a mass of flesh. Within the flesh, a face could be seen, twisted in agony, resentful and reluctant to accept this fate.

“Amitabha Buddha!”

Three monks chanted in unison, and immediately flowers rained from the sky. Characters, scriptures, seals, lotus blossoms—all manners of Buddhist Law manifested, along with dazzling brilliance, were applied to the Blood Seed, forming a seal to suppress it.

Out of the two Confucians and three Buddhists, the Corpse Resolution of the Five Sects, Buddhism was most adept at suppression; historical seals on the Blood Demons were all cast by Buddhist Law.

This time was no exception. Layers of Buddhist Law pressed down, and in a blink of an eye, they transformed into a Vajra Bodhi, sealing the True Seed of the Blood Demon inside.

“It’s done!”

Meng Fuyao floated down lightly, then slashed out several Sword Qi, killing all the struggling Demon Fetuses in the battlefield below.

“Roar!”

In the sky, the Cloud Dragon roared, returning and descending swiftly, revealing the figure of Li Qiankun.

Looking at the True Seed of the Blood Demon sealed inside the Vajra Bodhi, Li Qiankun repeatedly nodded: “For the next hundred years, the world will be free of worries!”

Meng Fuyao’s expression was indifferent: “Within these hundred years, we must expedite the Corpse Resolution for the four individuals. Fate has changed; this demon has already been affected. Otherwise, he would not have risked entering into this trap. If he breaks the seal after a hundred years, it may be difficult to contain him again.”

Wu Que arrived with the two monks and also spoke: “Previously, our Buddhist seals would be broken after a hundred years, because the Blood Demon inside was cultivating and recuperating to restore his body. This time we’ve improved the method of sealing, and every ten years we will reopen it. At that time, as long as the elders once again release the Haoqi Long Breath and slash out a sword to kill the Blood Demon’s body, the seal can be extended. Within three hundred years, there should be no worries.”

Meng Fuyao shook his head: “Even though that’s said, however…”

“Crack!”

“Huh!?”

Before the words were finished, a light crackling sound came from the Bodhi.

The eyes of the five people narrowed in shock and anger.

They saw that in the void, the color of the Vajra Bodhi gradually turned blood red.

As the Bodhi was stained with blood, the Vajra began to crack, and within it, a silhouette could be seen. He resembled Buddha and resembled a demon, preaching sutras and Buddhist Law.

“Amitabha Buddha, Prajna and Mara, Transformative Freedom, Lord Boxun!”

“Amitabha Buddha, Prajna and Mara, Transformative Freedom, Lord Boxun!”

…

Brahma Sounds echoed, demonic chants continued, sinister crimson blood light flickering. The Vajra Bodhi began to develop more cracks.

“This…”

“How is this possible!”

The expression of the crowd shifted, a mix of shock and rage.

Meng Fuyao’s expression turned icy, readying to launch the Haoqi Immortal Sword once more.

However…

“Amitabha Buddha, Prajna and Mara, Transformative Freedom, Lord Boxun!”

“Amitabha Buddha, Prajna and Mara, Transformative Freedom, Lord Boxun!”

Brahma Sounds rang in waves, like a demonic test, not only in the ears but also echoing in the heart.

“!!!”

Meng Fuyao’s body trembled, his head ached as if it was splitting; demonic voices bubbled in his mind, bloodlight appeared vaguely like tiny squirming bugs, writhing and twisting, shaping into scarlet characters. These characters lined up to form a strange scripture, imprinted into his consciousness, searing into his divine soul.

Could that be… the Blood God Sutra?

No, it was… the Boxun Sutra!

The Transformative Freedom Boxun Heart Sutra!

The name of the Heart Sutra emerged, further testing his spirit with demonic nature.

Meng Fuyao’s body shook violently, his surrounding Haoqi becoming chaotic.

Even in the stage of Corpse Resolution to Divinity Transformation, it was so, not to mention the other four.

As the Heart Sutra entered the ear and manifested in the mind, the demonic natures that the Corpse Resolution had failed to eliminate, the hidden dangers buried deep within their bodies, were disturbed and erupted due to the emptiness after the great battle, provoked by the Demon Lord’s Heart Sutra.

The five great Corpse Resolutions, for a moment, lost control of themselves.

As for the Vajra Bodhi, it was about to burst open and shatter with blood.

Just at this moment…

“In the Celestial White Jade Capital, among the Twelve Towers and Five Cities.”

“The Immortal anointed my head, and upon binding my hair, I was granted eternal life.”

Amidst the echoes of the poem, a figure appeared, casually arriving.
