Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 1192 - 715: Breaking the Ban_2

Xu Yang, however, paid no heed to all this. Looking down at the crowd, he spoke in a calm voice, "Since you all sought to trouble me, then do not blame me for my ruthless action!"

Having said that, he waved his sleeve, and the Divine Light swept out, directly confronting Manjusri’s Dharma body and employing the technique of Soul-searching and Soul-snatching.

These people were all Immortal Gods from the Upper Realm, hidden in various places across the Four Domains.

Xu Yang had long been aware of their existence, but he had been focusing on the matters of the Azure Star Realm and the Mystic Yellow Realm, and the Divine Land was in the midst of turmoil, requiring his top combat power to sit in control, so he had no opportunity to deal with these annoyances.

Besides, he also harbored the thought of laying a long line to catch a big fish, so he allowed these people to stay hidden, until now when he finally caught them all in one sweep.

This haul was quite fruitful, not only capturing dozens of True Immortals like the Grey-clad Old Ape but also several Earth Immortals, who were only Second Primordial Spirits, External Incarnations, but still of great value.

Among them was Manjusri, one of the Brahma Sect’s Four Great Bodhisattvas, a Venerable attendant to the Da Fan Buddha Ancestor; she was also a top Manjusri among this group of Earth Immortals.

But it also made her the first person Xu Yang decided to deal with.

Soul-searching and Soul-snatching, without the slightest mercy!

Nor was there any reason for mercy, after all, the other party’s deeds had already broken the taboo, even lurking into the Purity Temple and quietly taking control of Jian Ni, the master of Meng Fanying, and even planning to reach out to him through Meng Fanying.

With such scheming, it would already be immense compassion on Xu Yang’s part not to grind her bones to dust and scatter her ashes. What’s a mere soul-search?

"Hmm~!!"

Within the Five Colors Divine Light, Manjusri let out a low moan, her Dharma body trembling slightly, seemingly in extreme pain.

It was indeed pain!

Although she wasn’t the main body at this moment, she was an incarnation of a Taoist Soldier, a Second Primordial Spirit, with little difference from the main body. Being subject to Soul-searching and Soul-snatching meant a purification of her Second Primordial Spirit, and the pain was imaginable.

But she was like the fish on the chopping board, and others were the knife and cleaver; even in pain, she was helpless, only able to grit her teeth and bear it, even cooperating with the process.

As for resistance... how could she resist?

Her cultivation was far inferior to Xu Yang’s, and his methods were even more dreadful.

Earlier in the Purity Temple, not only had he appeared next to her unnoticed but also covered the entire Purity Temple with the Sleeve Universe technique with a sweeping hand.

She was completely unaware, and when she thought to escape, she was immediately caught by the Sleeve Universe. Not to mention escaping, she couldn’t even send out a signal, resulting in other Earth Immortals also falling into disaster, caught all at once in his net.

With such capabilities, with such a disparity, how could she resist?

Let alone her current state as just an incarnation, even if the main body came, facing Xu Yang, she would likely have no chance of survival and no hope of victory.

Thus, she could only endure, bear the humiliation and seek to survive!

This was the incarnation of a Taoist Soldier, a Second Primordial Spirit, she truly did not wish to see it damaged until the very last moment.

And thus, after an indefinite amount of time...

"Bang!!!"

The Divine Light dissipated, the Dharma body collapsed, Manjusri fell to the ground, already drenched in sweat, her face devoid of any blood, pale as a ghost. The other few Upper Realm Earth Immortals, feeling empathetic, clenched their teeth, yet they were powerless to do anything.

Xu Yang ignored them and fixed another person in place, continuing the Soul-searching and Soul-snatching.

After a while, the several Upper Realm Earth Immortals were all subjected to his Soul-searching and Soul-snatching, causing all the watching True Immortals to shiver with fear.

But Xu Yang paid them no mind, sorting through the spoils of Soul-searching.

Unlike those Servant True Immortals who had ascended from the Lower Realm and were often met with skepticism, like the Old Ape, these Earth Immortals were all high-ranking figures from the various Tao Lineages of the Upper Realm, like Manjusri who was a Great Bodhisattva of the Brahma Sect, an attendant on the left and right of the Da Fan Buddha Ancestor.

Therefore, they are above suspicion and privy to many secrets, especially the incident of the fall of that Heavenly Immortal Taoist Master in those years.

The Heavenly Immortal from those years was the Supreme of the Netherworld Dao, wielding power over the Six Paths of Reincarnation and also a top figure among the various Taoist Masters of the Upper Realm.

Yet surprisingly, this Netherworld Venerable was not an ancient Heavenly Immortal but a Late Bloomer.

Originally, among the great Heavenly Immortals of the Upper Realm, only five mighty ones could be called Supreme—they were the Supreme Mysterious Ancestor of Tao who had established religious Tao Lineage, the Da Fan Buddha Ancestor, the most sacred figure of the Confucian Gate, as well as the Devil Ancestor of the Devil Sect, and the Demon Ancestor of the Demon Path.

This Netherworld Venerable, as a Late Bloomer, surpassed all the Taoist Masters after proving his Heavenly Immortal Dao, becoming the sixth Supreme, on par with the Ancestors of the Five Religions, also established the Netherworld Sect Tao Lineage, occupied the Nether River, opened the Blood Sea, and took control of the cycle of life and death.

A Late Bloomer surges ahead to take the lead; this rise of the Netherworld Sect Ancestor behind the scenes surely had its causes and conditions.

But for all its causes, although everyone knew this Netherworld Sect Ancestor possessed a Treasure and supreme fortunes, he remained hidden until he proved the Heavenly Immortal Dao when he finally revealed his edge, and in the end, with one effort, established the Netherworld Sect, standing shoulder to shoulder with the other Ancestors of the Five Religions—the momentum was established and could no longer be shaken.

Thus, all great Heavenly Immortals and Taoist Masters acknowledged his status, and there was no talk of waging war against him.

However, unbeknownst to all Immortals, he had designs, secretly scheming to devour all living beings, including the Immortals and Divine Beings of all great Tao Lineages, using this to break through the Immortal Path, step into the Golden Immortal Realm, and achieve Immortality.

Such ambitions—how could they be tolerated by all sides?

Therefore, a great war erupted—all great Tao Lineages joined forces, the Ancestors of the Five Religions united, and the Ten Directions Celestial Immortals cooperated in attacking the Nether River Blood Sea, ultimately shattering the Blood Sea, and this Netherworld Sect Ancestor was also slain by all Immortals.

But his methods exceeded imagination; facing the pressure of the Ancestors of the Five Religions and a host of Heavenly Immortals in the final moment, he took the last of the Nether River’s blood water, transforming it into a Demon Star that plummeted into the Lower Realm.

The various Taoist Masters intended to pursue him, but were thwarted by his unknown methods; the once unified Supreme Mysterious Realm was thus split, creating a barrier separating heaven and earth.

The Divine Light dissipated, the Dharma body plummeted, and Manjusri fell to the ground, drenched in sweat and devoid of any color in his face but for a ghastly pallor, invoking sympathy from the other Earth Immortals of the Upper Realm who clenched their teeth helplessly.

Xu Yang paid no mind and fixed another in place, continuing the Soul-searching and Soul-snatching.

After a short while, all Earth Immortals from the Upper Realm were subjected to his Soul-searching and Soul-snatching, chilling every True Immortal in the rear.

Xu Yang, however, paid no heed and sorted through the information gained from the Soul Search.

Unlike the Lower Realm ascended servants like Old Ape, these Earth Immortals were all high-ranking officials from the various great Tao Lineages of the Upper Realm. For instance, Manjusri, who is a Great Bodhisattva of the Brahma Sect, and attendant to the Da Fan Buddha Ancestor.

Therefore, they are above suspicion and privy to many secrets, especially the incident of the fall of that Heavenly Immortal Taoist Master in those years.

The Heavenly Immortal from those years was the Supreme of the Netherworld Dao, wielding power over the Six Paths of Reincarnation and also a top figure among the various Taoist Masters of the Upper Realm.
