At the critical moment, Lan Yu sprayed out glazed blue flames in time, forcibly covering the fire and breaking the counterattack of the Demon Sea.
There was a loud clang, the dragon and the phoenix intertwined and collided, causing a violent aftermath.
As Zuo Chongming withdrew, he suddenly swept his sword across, crushing the stone hand rising from the ground. The wind of his fist exploded like silver stars, scattering huge waves.
Buzzing….
As his mind turned, the shadow of the sword circled endlessly around his body, and the sharp wind blade tornado was torn into pieces.
The formation of earth, water, wind, and fire was broken, and the overflowing demonic energy was overwhelming, rolling up into the sky, and then being swallowed and absorbed by the giant ape or Tathagata whale.
Click~!
The Guhong Sword chanted for a long time, its blade flashing with cold light.
In an instant, a thousand swords turned into one, cutting off the buzzing dragon spear, and pointed directly at the sea of magic rituals with unabated force.
"Kill, kill!"
The dim light in Mo Lihai's eyes gradually turned red, and the violent murderous intention became solid. He waved his fist against the edge of the sword: "Evil heretics..."
Poof~!
Before he finished speaking, Zuo Chongming's figure suddenly flashed, like a mirror in a mirror and the moon in the water, allowing him to punch him through.
Moisturizing's silent sword light appeared behind Mo Lihai like a ghost, instantly piercing the back of his head, and a sword edge emerged from between his eyebrows.
"Forehead……"
The figure of Molihai shook violently, and the demonic energy all over his body seemed to have found a pouring outlet, and crazily spread out of his body.
As the demonic energy overflowed, his aura suddenly declined, and his aura became visibly weaker until... it turned into ashes.
"Hoo, ho..."
Zuo Chongming's sword-holding hand was trembling slightly, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of peas, and his chest was heaving violently.
Obviously, this battle, which seemed long but actually lasted ten breaths at most, was not easy for him.
He himself couldn't remember clearly the last time he took action with all his strength.
Since becoming a Marquis, he has only taken action a handful of times, and even when he does, he mostly relies on things like the Zhuxian Sword Formation, which is easier after all.
Even when he was besieged by all parties not long ago, Zuo Chongming did not use all his strength.
At that time, he wanted to make the battle more exciting and intense. After all, he had already set the ending of 'death in battle' for himself.
"You are hurt."
Dragon Ancestor's voice came from the side, his tone was quite solemn.
"No problem."
"Are you sure it's okay if the demonic energy enters your body?"
Zuo Chongming shook his head: "I am different from you. Monsters have blood and warriors have spiritual veins, but I have already separated from the false spiritual veins and used the rune branding method."
"The runes in my body cannot absorb demonic energy, so as long as I circulate my true energy in time, I can easily squeeze it out."
The corner of Long Zu's mouth twitched, and he sighed complicatedly: "You are such a monster, and you have come up with this kind of cultivation method."
Zuo Zhongming sighed softly: "I didn't do this. I just summarized and further optimized the martial arts."
"And this method is not all good. The biggest disadvantage is that you have to walk the road ahead by yourself. This is why I have not been promoted to Dharma."
Longzu frowned and asked in confusion: "How does this conflict with your promotion to Dharma? At worst, you can re-cultivate."
Zuo Chongming pondered and explained: "The Dharma Phase Realm is a wrong move. It is actually the manifestation of the warrior's martial arts will and domain after reaching the extreme."
"Because the warriors at that time did not find the right direction, or in other words, they found the problem but not the solution."
"With no choice but to do so, they took reference from the monks' Dharma, Heaven, Elephant and Earth, Demon Clan's Revealed Reality... and then created a realm that enhanced their combat effectiveness."
In other words, the Dharma Realm is actually more focused on improving combat effectiveness in martial arts, rather than a qualitative change in the realm.
At best, it can be regarded as...a half-level improvement, far from reaching a state of transformation.
As he came into contact with more and more things, Zuo Chongming's understanding of this aspect became clearer.
Rather than saying that it is too difficult to break through the Dharma Realm, it is better to say that this martial skill is difficult to master.
No, it's not martial arts.
According to the classification of monks, this should be considered a supernatural power.
"According to you, there are no disadvantages to your breakthrough. It can also improve your combat effectiveness."
"That's not necessarily true."
"Look at those who are strong in the Dharma Appearance Realm. They rarely reveal their Dharma Appearance from the beginning, because this thing consumes too much."
"And once the Dharma is revealed, it is equivalent to a little black on a white paper, and the aura fluctuations reach the extreme, which is too eye-catching."
"If we were in this world, this wouldn't be a bad thing, but don't forget that we are in heaven now. This is... outstanding among others."
"That's true."
Dragon Ancestor thought of the giant spirit god and the demon mirror, and nodded in agreement.
"correct."
Zuo Zhongming turned over his hand and took out a ball of fairy spirit, frowned and said: "It's a bit puzzling that Mo Lihong left this behind before he died."
"When a man is about to die, his words are also good."
Long Zu guessed casually: "That move of yours must have stimulated his remaining instinctive consciousness, so why did he do this?"
"never mind."
Zuo Chongming thought for a moment, then casually put away his fairy spirit: "I'm already dead, why do you think so much? Let's go over there and have a look first."
"Tathagata!!"
An ear-piercing roar came from the sky.
Several people raised their heads when they heard the sound, their expressions changed slightly, and they evacuated without hesitation.
The clouds suddenly dispersed, the light dimmed visibly to the naked eye, and a giant ape surrounded by demonic energy was seen falling from the sky like a meteorite.
Strictly speaking, it should have been beaten down.
There is only one finger pressing against the chest of the giant ape, which is in sharp contrast to his huge body. From a distance, it looks like a piece of hair.
Even so, this finger is still irresistible to the giant ape.
No matter how hard he struggled, he was still pressed tightly and fell toward the ground.
At the same time, the demonic energy in the giant ape's body is also being frantically extracted...
The size of the giant ape is shrinking crazily, while the finger that is constantly absorbing the magic energy is rapidly expanding.
In just a few breaths of time, the bodies of both parties suddenly reversed.
Zuo Chongming and the others clearly saw a huge pillar falling suddenly, and the giant ape was like a helpless and fragile ant.
bass…….
A stunning sword rainbow suddenly appeared and cut the finger instantly.
There was a faint humming sound coming from the sky, and then there was the loud voice of the Buddha, and the phantom of a ten-thousand-foot-long demon Buddha looked down from a bird's eye, holding a mountain of corpses in its palm and a sea of blood.
"Grass."
Long Zu's scalp was numb when he saw it, and he couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "These guys are simply crazy. They can't bring down the heaven, right?"
Zuo Chongming stared at the place where the giant ape fell and said quietly: "I think you should focus on the present instead of worrying about those things."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise that shook the earth, and a mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
The destination that several people wanted to go to, which was the huge wreckage of the battleship, was directly swallowed up by the mushroom cloud...
Susu…….
The violent aftermath carried the debris and shot it in all directions like a heavy rain.
"Huh?"
Zuo Chongming had quick eyesight and quick hands, and his true energy was divided into tens of millions in a snap of his fingers. Flexible silk threads shot out and swayed, quickly wrapping up several things.
Lan Yu came over and asked curiously: "What is this?"
"You can think of it as a relic box."
Zuo Zhongming looked at the alloy-sealed objects in his hands and said with joy, "And these things are not low-level."
This thing can be stored for such a long time and can withstand the impact just now, which shows that its material is excellent.
Although the surface has been slightly distorted, the text and the like are already mottled.
But you can tell from the branding pattern that at least only the higher-ups in the fleet are qualified to use it.
"Do you think there's something you want in this?"
"There must be."
Zuo Chongming squinted his eyes and shot out a stream of true energy with a snap of his fingers.
As expected, even though this trace of true energy had been condensed to the limit, it only made a small hole.
What's even more horrifying is that this small hole only existed for a few breaths before it healed and recovered without leaving any trace.
Lan Yu was dumbfounded: "Can it repair itself? This kind of material can probably be used to create magic weapons."
"Composite memory metal."
As soon as Zuo Chongming finished speaking, he took half a step to the side without any warning, narrowly dodging a ferocious sharp claw writhing with flesh and blood.
"Be careful, it's not dead."
Dragon Ancestor's reaction was extremely quick. He stretched out his left hand and turned it into a dragon claw. He sternly grabbed the wrist of the sharp claw and threw it out with all his strength.
Boom, boom!!
Accompanied by a series of loud noises, the dense smoke was torn apart.
However, he saw a giant ape whose size had shrunk to several feet, with its chest collapsed and twisted, and a ferocious ghost-like giant ape rushed out, its eyes flashing with madness.
"It's already dead."
Zuo Chongming touched its one eye and frowned slightly: "The Tathagata's finger just now has completely annihilated its consciousness."
"In other words, it is no longer the Monkey King, the Monkey King. It is just a walking corpse corroded by demonic energy."
Dragon Ancestor manifested his true form, cut off one of the opponent's legs with his tail, and cursed: "No wonder it came to us instead of looking for Tathagata."
"Pitiful."
Lan Yu's eyes showed a sigh of relief, and he sighed sadly, facing the giant ape, he sprayed out dazzling and strange Lihuo blue flames, drowning it in an instant.
"Retreat, no need to entangle."
Zuo Chongming jumped away and said: "This guy is one of the four great monkeys, and he is also a full-fledged demon clan. His body cannot be destroyed so easily."
If Lan Yu was still the phoenix he once was and if his cultivation level was higher, he might still be able to do it with his talent, but now it's impossible.
Zuo Chongming and Long Zu were able to destroy it, but it was equivalent to using a kitchen knife to chop an iron block, which was not only time-consuming but also labor-intensive.
Today, the court is getting more and more chaotic. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. It is better to evacuate first.
"Come up, I'll take you away."
Dragon Ancestor spewed out a cold current, and then chased after Zuo Chongming and others without looking back. The dragon's body coiled around them, and disappeared into the distance in the clouds and mist.
Ancestor Tianhu stared behind him warily and asked casually: "Do you know where is safe?"
Dragon Ancestor said: "I just accidentally discovered that there are very few monsters near the ruins in the southwest. We can go there to take shelter."
From the time they arrived in heaven to now, they have almost never rested.
The lack of true energy can be replenished with elixirs, but the fatigue of the mentality is very uncomfortable, and they urgently need a place to rest.
Whoosh…….
The clouds dispersed and the real dragon loomed.
Dragon Ancestor transformed into a stream of light and lightning, falling like a meteor towards the ruins of the palace.
In a hurry, Zuo Chongming glanced at a broken stone tablet with two strange handwritings on it, which seemed to be the word Qingyuan.
"Qingyuan? Whose immortal palace is this?"
"The devil knows."
Long Ancestor said breathlessly: "Heaven has existed for so long, and there are countless immortals. Only a hundred are known to the world. Who knows which one they are."
"Maybe I know who it is."
Ancestor Tianhu looked at a place hundreds of feet away, and his face became extremely ugly: "This, this is the palace of Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun."
Long Zu was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a moment: "Who? It sounds familiar."
Ancestor Tianhu grinned with difficulty and said in a solemn voice: "In layman's terms, this is the palace of God Erlang."
"..."
Dragon Ancestor half-opened his mouth, staring at the Sky Fox Ancestor in astonishment, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He knew the name Erlang Shen Yang Jian very well.
Let's put it this way.
In addition to the Three Pure Ones, Four Imperial Guards, and Five Elders, the most famous ones in Heaven are Li Jing, Nezha, and Yang Jian.
Li Jing was a commander-in-chief because he was proficient in military skills, while Nezha and Yang Jian were famous because of fighting.
After a while, Long Zu suddenly said: "He, doesn't he live in Guanjiangkou? I remember that he can't get along with Tianting."
In addition to his extremely high fighting power, Yang Jian also has a good reputation for water control. He has always had a grudge with the Dragon Clan, so the Dragon Ancestor is very familiar with him.
"hehe."
Lan Yu twitched the corner of his lips: "Even if the royal family members are no longer welcome, they must be treated as they should. At least there will be a mansion in the capital."
Take the Wu Dynasty as an example. Many members of the royal family sent abroad may not visit Beijing once in more than ten years, but they still have their residences within the Second Ring Road.
Is Yang Jian a member of the royal family?
of course!
The mother of the Erlang God Yang Jian is the Yunhua Fairy, also known as Princess White Lotus, Princess Lotus, etc. She is also the owner of the Bullfighting Palace.
She was related to the Jade Emperor, but she later left the heaven privately, married the mortal Yang Tianyou, and gave birth to her son Yang Jian.
So strictly speaking, Yang Jian was born half an immortal.
But having said that, Fairy Yunhua's actions violated the laws of heaven, so Yang Tianyou was suppressed and she was suppressed and sealed.
As a result, Yang Jian was full of resentment towards Heaven. He left Heaven in anger and traveled down to earth. He became enemies with the Dragon Clan because he helped people by controlling floods.
Later, because he wanted to save his mother, he had a fight with Heaven.
After all, this was the Jade Emperor's family matter, and it was not easy for others to get involved, and it was not easy for the Jade Emperor to take action himself, so after several attempts to capture him failed, he turned to recruiting...
As one of the conditions for recruitment, Yang Jian's mother was released.
"I finally know..."
Lan Yu stood on Zuo Chongming's shoulder, looking around vigilantly, muttering: "Why are there so few demons here?"
Damn it, who dares to come here to seek death in the territory of the dignified Erlang Xiansheng?
Long Zu swallowed his saliva and muttered in a low voice: "Do you think it's still too late for us to leave now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint voice came from the distance: "You have come all the way, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
"It seems it's too late."
Zuo Chongming looked towards the direction of the sound source, his right hand subconsciously resting on the hilt of his sword.
PS: I have been so busy these past few days that I have worn out four gashes on my feet. I have squeezed in time for updates, so please forgive me.
I guess it will take a few more days to get it done, so I'll try to keep it updated.
