Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1292 - 58: Xiang Liu (Part 2)

Perhaps it's because his strength has increased again, or maybe he's projecting more power here. Either way, it signifies that—

Jiang Li is about to attack!

"Boom!"

The deep red Divine Evil collided fiercely with the shimmering water light. The Queen Mother of the West's eyes narrowed, her hands multiplying into numerous illusions as she drew Canghai Water once more, transforming it into Water Spirit Energy, creating a tidal wave that surged through the air.

A torrent of unstoppable force roared through the sky, even slightly shaking the Cosmic Light Domain.

······

······

At the same time, in the Yellow Sea, Primeval Heavy Water and Xuanming True Water turned into a rolling black tide, crashing against the earth-colored high peak on the coast.

The Imperial College Sacrificial Officer's long beard fluttered as he proudly stood on the coast of Qing State. The Qi Mechanism around him circulated, evolving into ancient characters one after another.

[The land is of Kun Earth. The gentleman carries all things with thick virtue.]

[The marsh presides over the earth; the gentleman's teachings are boundless and protect people limitlessly.]

[The mountain stands still; the gentleman remains in his position with thought.]

Cang Jie's Divine Skills of character creation perfectly combined the Sacrificial Officer's Confucianism attainments and Cultivation Techniques, evolving the mysteries of the "Book of Changes," transforming into Kun Earth mountain marshes to resist the angry tide.

The angry tide shook the sky and Canghai but could not shake the land, for the land was protected by the Tai Chi Diagram, allowing the Sacrificial Officer to confront the enemy with peace of mind.

Due to the rise of the Mo School, the Sacrificial Officer has stayed for more than half a year in the Three States to assist in rooting Confucianism. Following the sacrificial ritual of the Heavenly Monarch, the land was littered with corpses of unknown years, yet it provided an opportunity for Confucianism to develop, allowing it to grow recklessly in this greatly breaking region.

For this reason, when the Dragon Palace's Devil Cultivators invaded, the Imperial College Sacrificial Officer was the first to come and stop them, confronting the Xuanwu King for more than a day.

Both parties are old creatures with deep cultivation. Although the Xuanwu King has a naturally formed demon body, the Sacrificial Officer has the wondrous Divine Skills of Cang Jie, able to transform words into all things.

After more than a day of confrontation, they protected the coast.

But with the continuous arrival of Devil Cultivators, supporting the tide, the momentum of the Xuanwu King kept rising. Wave after wave of Primeval Heavy Water and Xuanming True Water seemed on the verge of gaining the upper hand. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

At this moment, the light from the East Sea suddenly intensified, a murderous blood hue covering the long sky.

The Sacrificial Officer and the Xuanwu King in the sea simultaneously felt a jolt of their hearts, keenly realizing that—

Change was coming.

"Old turtle, the Daoist is here to kill you."

A childish yet arrogant laugh suddenly echoed from the sky. Wind and fire descended from the heavens, scorching flames burning the air, with nine fire dragons clawing the sky as they dived towards the black fog-shrouded sea.

Water and fire fiercely collided at this moment. Samadhi True Fire clashed with the True Water cultivated by the Xuanwu King, sounding like thunderclaps.

Next came a humming sound, and the nine fire dragons formed a circle, revealing a massive bell cover that suppressed into the sea.

"Boom——"

The angry tide surged, water splashing into the sky as a massive snake head and turtle head burst from below, followed by their colossal mountain-like body.

The Xuanwu King revealed his True Body, combining Turtle and Snake, bringing the raging tide to crash against the bell cover, causing the fire dragons to roar in anger, nearly overthrowing the bell cover.

But at the same time, Yin Tulong manifested a body with Three Heads and Six Arms, assuming the form of Fatian Xiangdi, descending from the sky, landing directly on the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover, forcibly pressing down the bell cover that was nearly overturned.

The forces of both sides confronted in the most fierce manner, the sea boiling and seething, alternating bouts of freezing and furious waves, an intense crisscross of black and red.

Yin Tulong's Three Altars Sea Meeting Great God Dao Fruit possesses Divine Skills of demon suppression, specifically restraining demon, ghost, and monster, however, Xuanwu, although having a demon form, is not of the demon kind, in fact, it belongs to the Divine Attribute, thus not restrained by this Dao Fruit.

Nonetheless, the Three Altars Sea Meeting Great God not only restrains demons but also specializes in subduing water-attributed dragons and snakes, thus it can restrain Xuanwu.

This sudden from-the-sky move with the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover triumphed in surprise, genuinely turning the momentum of the Xuanwu King downwards.

"Reinforcements have come, no wonder His Majesty has mobilized the All Heaven Divine Sha to attack the enemy······"

The Sacrificial Officer murmured, too, catching his breath. Then he waved his massive sleeves as a painting scroll rose and unfolded, revealing countless words on it.

The character "Sword" in the center displayed a sharp sword momentum, and the Sacrificial Officer pressed hand to the character, drawing a clear and brilliant sharp sword from within it, proclaiming, "General Yin, I shall aid you."

Transitioning from defense to attack, the Sacrificial Officer wielding the sword moved through the air, ready to lend a hand to Yin Tulong.

Though Yin Tulong can restrain the Xuanwu King, he is inferior in terms of cultivation compared to such an experienced old monster, where gaining a temporary upper hand does not guarantee a consistent advantage, he still requires the assistance of the Sacrificial Officer for a victorious pursuit.

However—

As soon as the Sacrificial Officer left the shore, below the surging sea water, a sinister cold light suddenly flared, followed by nine shadows emerging from the water, malevolent energy devouring the sky.

"Heaven's movement is ceaseless."

The Sacrificial Officer, undeterred in the midst of busyness, swung his sword in a sweeping arc, a trail of text followed with the blade slicing through, the Sword Gang crisscrossing, smashing through and intercepting all nine shadows beneath the sharp sword momentum.

"Hiss——"

Within the chilling hissing sounds, all nine shadows unveiled their true form, astonishingly nine giant snakes comparable to True Dragons.

And beneath the sea, a massive body emerged, connected with the nine giant snakes.

"You—Xiang Liu?!"

Knowledgeable and experienced, the Sacrificial Officer immediately discerned the other party's identity, recognizing it as the legendary ferocious beast Xiang Liu.

However, Xiang Liu's Dao Fruit should be Fourth Grade Dao Fruit, yet this ferocious beast before him could rival the Sacrificial Officer.

The fierce Sword Gang only left sword marks on Xiang Liu's snake body, without drawing blood. Xiang Liu's nine heads howled, black energy shrouded, instantly sweeping the sky, but its scent lacked any foulness, instead bearing a sickly sweetness.

As soon as the Sacrificial Officer's Sword Gang touched the black energy, it was immediately corroded, with even the external Divine Thought seeming to disappear within the eerie black energy.

"Wind and thunder become beneficial; the gentleman then changes for the greater good."

The Sacrificial Officer's sword transformed into wind and thunder, with Thunder Strikes exploding across the wilderness, interacting with the Wind Phase, generating an overwhelming Heavenly Might, sweeping away the black energy.

"The Yin told the ruler, the punishment was for the demonic anomaly."

Snake shadows flickered in the black energy, suddenly an eerie voice whispered, the poison intensified the demonic anomaly, abruptly expanding into a black canopy, engulfing wind and thunder.

From within that darkness, an enchanting silhouette emerged, eerie blue light flickered in deep eyes, beneath the silken robe, scales transformed into demonic runes.

She turned, gently loosening her robe, the blue garment slipped down, exposing her gleaming back, enough to mentally beguile one with demonic allure.

Yet the Sacrificial Officer as a Confucian Taoist Master harbored no desire, seeing the opponent reveal herself, his Vast Energy promptly set a target.

"So it's you, Heavenly Charm! Daring to seduce this old man, ridiculous."

The icy sword light swept down with wind and thunder, the Heavenly Charm Demon God merely giggled coyly, numerous fair arms blossoming simultaneously, unfolding like a peacock spreading its plume.

"You should avert your gaze."

Each palm bore an eye within, several hand-arms interconnected, forming an eye pupil shape, the central eye opened, a red and eerie gaze piercing through.

Much like staring into the mortal world from the abyss, deep red blood light reaching like invisible hands from the abyss grasping at all things terrestrial.

"You—"

The Sacrificial Officer's complexion changed dramatically, Sword Gang burst forth, while the Vast Energy turned into rolling cloud waves, crashing against the blood light.

For within the biggest blood pupil, he saw an upright banner.

The Evil Summoning Banner was not upon the Great Venerable, but in this Heavenly Charm True God's hand.

"So, you're from the Feng clan—"

Only the Feng Clan can wield that Demon Refining Pot.

The Vast Qi shook the blood light, stirring the sky, yet space subsequently twisted, taking on the form of a waterspout, devouring everything shrouded within, vanishing instantly from the original place.

Including the Imperial College Sacrificial Officer······

Meanwhile, the Xuanwu roared, the ocean surged, the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover was flipped open in mid-air, the massive Turtle and Snake form sent the dragons soaring into the sky.
