Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 610 - 518: Outside the Domain Merit!

Recklessly taking action would cause me to fall into a passive position ahead of time.

At least, I must wait until the Taiyin finds the whereabouts of those eighteen Primordial Heavenly Commands before considering action."

Calming his turbulent thoughts, Qi Xiu waved his hand to retrieve the purified Dao Embryo from the Hua Sheng Thunder Pond and placed it back into the skull of the White Bone Demon.

"Go."

With a wave, Qi Xiu released the White Bone Demon, and with just a thought, his ten External Incarnations understood his intent, sitting down together to cultivate the [External Incarnation Method].

With the assistance of these ten identities,

The progress of cultivation suddenly made a qualitative leap, faintly beginning to show a snowballing trend...

...

Within the Giant City, upon the towering corpse mountain, the Daoist of the Taiyin revealed an eerie expression, scarlet eyes overlooking the entire city below.

"Heavens and earth, Qiankun, Kan, Gen, Li appear!"

Chanting obscure sutras, the Taiyin Daoist made a grand gesture, and a long White Bone Mysterious Yin Banner suddenly appeared. On the banner's surface, seventy-three Taiyin Taoist Talismans shone brilliantly, and in the void, black qi crisscrossed, faintly forming an immense, chilling Dharma Seal!

BOOM——

With a fierce swing of the White Bone Mysterious Yin Banner, raging black mist shot out from its surface, and raucous laughter erupted from within the mist, shaking the void and alarming the Two-Faced People throughout the Giant City.

In an instant!

Countless gazes turned simultaneously toward the corpse mountain, where towering virtual shadows exuding blood, coldness, savagery, madness, filth, cruelty, malice, and ferocity appeared.

The entire city was enveloped in a heavy, oppressive aura, transforming into a meandering Blood River, surging with massive waves, clashing fiercely toward the Taiyin Daoist!

The Two-Faced People further pulled off their headscarves, reactivating the divine power stored within, using all sorts of techniques, launching a fierce charge against the Taiyin Daoist!

"Stop pretending, I've long scouted.

In this city...

There's not a single Dao Body Realm being!

Arise for me!"

With flying black hair and fluttering robes, the Taiyin Daoist's eyes flashed with blood light, piercing the void, and he raised the White Bone Mysterious Yin Banner high.

In an instant!

The Giant City became alight with numerous Talisman Seals secretly planted throughout.

Though the Taiyin Daoist couldn't use the caligraphy skills of his true form,

He was skilled in the methods of the Talisman Array Tao.

Ever since delivering that Dao Embryo for verification by his true form, he had concealed himself, searching throughout the Giant City, examining the stone statue followers within the city.

Upon inspection, he discovered.

There were sixty-seven stone statues in the city, with varying levels of power—some high, some low, some strong, some weak.

Though from their aura, each stone statue and its followers seemed to have Dao Body Realm capabilities.

In reality, they were all superficial.

The strongest stone statue in the entire city barely reached the Pinnacle of the Blood-Stained Realm!

Talisman Seals rose to the sky, forming an ominous, purple-black misty dome that enveloped the entire Giant City beneath it.

Formation—Santu River!

With a thundering roar,

A terrifying flood surged, instantly transforming the Giant City into a swamp; the muddy, yellow Santu River Water emanated countless pallid, cold hands, reaching from the river to pull the Two-Faced People beneath, drowning them in this death-filled river.

"Haha, you alien races, neglecting the Dao Path and longevity, merely stacking divine power within.

Such cultivation may grant immense strength, yet lacks any technique or understanding of the Dao.

However, in a way, this is quite useful—using your bodies to craft White Bone Strongmen, comparable to top-tier Gu Clan demons."

Laughing wildly, though it was only a short while, the Taiyin Daoist seemed to forget Qi Xiu's cautions.

Particularly realizing there were no enemies of the same realm within the city.

And that these Two-Faced People were excellent materials for crafting White Bone Strongmen, his heart's restlessness became uncontainable.

"Taiyin, father forbids you from being too ostentatious. Aren't you, perhaps, overdoing it now?"

Just as the Taiyin Daoist intended to turn the entire Giant City into his crafting place, a Divine Light surged from the Primordial Sword Gourd at his waist, manifesting as the stern-faced, upright Primordial Sword Spirit.

Born from Qi Xiu's hand, the Sword Spirit naturally recognized him as a father.

Seeing the Taiyin Daoist disregarding Qi Xiu's orders, intent on making the entire Giant City his crafting site, the Primordial Sword Spirit appeared immediately to remind him.

"You brat, I'm not here to be monitored by you.

What I want to do, can you stop me?"

Hearing the Hunyuan Sword Spirit's warning, the Daoist of the Taiyin, who was in high spirits, glanced sideways. A sharp and cold light made the surrounding temperature drop suddenly, with terrifying white frost permeating the air, and the White Bone Mysterious Yin Banner in his hand trembled slightly, black mist swirling.

Sensing the pressure from the Daoist of the Taiyin, the Hunyuan Sword Spirit flipped his palm, and a bright mirror light immediately shone upon the face of the Daoist of the Taiyin.

"Haotian Mirror?!"

Seeing the Haotian Mirror in the Hunyuan Sword Spirit's hand, the stern look in the Daoist of the Taiyin's eyes froze for a moment, and in an instant, he put on a smiling face.

"Look at you brat, why are you so easy to fluster, if it counts, I'm actually your uncle."

Knowing full well that he absolutely couldn't defeat the Hunyuan Sword Spirit holding the Haotian Mirror, the Daoist of the Taiyin laughed it off and immediately claimed kinship.

"Father instructed before his departure that if you don't follow his instructions, I'm to send you back."

Gazing indifferently at the Daoist of the Taiyin, the Hunyuan Sword Spirit slightly lifted his palm, and the raised Haotian Mirror already locked onto the unruly Daoist, the mirror light flickering, as if ready to send him back in the next moment.

"Wait!"

Seeing that the Hunyuan Sword Spirit was really about to make a move, the Daoist of the Taiyin hurriedly raised his hand to stop him.

"Take a good look, I'm not causing trouble, this Giant City has already been shrouded by my Formation.

The Santu River traverses Beyond the Heavens, I diverted one of its branches, using the Netherworld Underworld Qi, which is enough to obscure the secrets of heaven, it will never be discovered."

The explanation from the Daoist of the Taiyin made the Hunyuan Sword Spirit pause his actions and turn to investigate whether this Santu River's method truly had the effect of concealing the secrets of heaven.

"Indeed, I have wronged you."

After verifying the effectiveness of this great array from the Santu River, the Hunyuan Sword Spirit nodded, withdrew the Haotian Mirror, and cupped his hands toward the Daoist of the Taiyin.

"You brat are too impulsive, I am merely an avatar, I would never act recklessly and place the true self in danger."

The Daoist of the Taiyin rolled his eyes at the Hunyuan Sword Spirit, extended his right hand:

"In consideration that you wrongly accused me, lend me the Haotian Mirror, these Stone Statues cannot be easily dissolved by being washed by the Santu River alone.

If illuminated by the Haotian Mirror's Light, the Stone Garment can be swiftly stripped away, revealing the Dao Embryo."

"No lending."

Without paying attention to the Daoist of the Taiyin, the Hunyuan Sword Spirit put away the Haotian Mirror on his own, and was about to return to the Primordial Sword Gourd.

"I'll just use it for a moment." The Daoist of the Taiyin repressed his anger, speaking in a low voice.

"No lending."

Remaining stubborn in his stance, unwilling to say more to the Daoist of the Taiyin, the Hunyuan Sword Spirit turned and returned to the Primordial Sword Gourd.

Infuriated by the Hunyuan Sword Spirit, the Daoist of the Taiyin took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the resentment in his heart:

"Forget it, forget it, take it slow."

Shaking the White Bone Mysterious Yin Banner in his hand, streams of black mist sank into the Santu River Water, sweeping up one by one the bones that had been thoroughly washed by the water before returning to the banner.

"One hundred forty-six, one hundred forty-seven... two hundred nineteen... four hundred thirty-five... seven hundred eighty-two... one thousand ninety-one..."

Counting silently, the Daoist of the Taiyin refined the Two-Faced People from the river water into White Bone Strongmen, storing them in the White Bone Mysterious Yin Banner, using the power of the Santu River to continuously strip away the Stone Garment from the Stone Statues, extracting the Dao Embryo within.

And just then, the White Bone Demon, who had left and returned, came back.

"Good! My previous speculation was indeed correct, this Dao Embryo is not born of heaven and earth, refining it will not attract severe punishment from the Heavenly Dao."

Receiving an affirmative answer from the true self, the Daoist of the Taiyin showed a slight smile.

"If that's the case, what are we waiting for?"

Taking out the Dao Embryo that had been thoroughly refined by the true self Qi Xiu from within the White Bone Demon's Skull, Taiyin slowly opened his mouth, picked up the Dao Embryo, and placed it into his mouth.

Gulp —

His Adam's apple rolled, accompanied by an exceptionally clear swallowing sound.

The Dao Embryo was thus swallowed by Taiyin.

Bang—

As the Dao Embryo entered his stomach, an incredibly terrifying aura erupted within Taiyin, a ripple of oppressive force surged out, causing the Santu River below to heave with huge, surging waves.

Both hands clasped, forming the Taiyin Seal, the Daoist of the Taiyin's black hair flew wildly, his eyes gleaming with intensity and ferocity, behind him, the Taiyin Extreme Dao Demon Lord suddenly manifesting, a palm pressing onto his back!

Dao Embryo!

Refine and Assimilate!
