Chapter 299: Di Nufeng\'s Playground

However, this did not mean that top-tier legendary artifacts were superior in every aspect.

Take the second-ranked Seven-Star Sword as an example. Compared to the first-ranked Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, the Seven-Star Sword did not possess the unparalleled power to subdue a ninth-realm existence.

However, in terms of the destructive power of a single slaying technique, the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda fell short when compared to the Seven-Star Sword, which was crafted solely for the purpose of attacking.

Therefore, although the Dharma Lotus Platform displayed many mystical abilities, its absolute offensive power was indeed slightly inferior to the Violet and Azure Twin Swords.

This was why the Dharma Lotus Platform did not inflict significant damage on the True Form of Ksitigarbha despite having attacked twice in succession.

However, the True Form of Ksitigarbha would not dare to underestimate this sword strike from Chu Liang.

Due to the suddenness of Chu Liang\'s sword strike, the Violet and Azure sword lights blazed across the sky like a long rainbow. The True Form of Ksitigarbha had no choice but to hastily raise a palm to block the attack head-on.

As the True Form of Ksitigarbha raised its palm, a rumbling sound filled the air. Countless chains extended from the void, their metallic clinks growing louder as they were pulled tight. Thousands of sealing forces converged, suppressing Ksitigarbha\'s palm with immense power.

Without the terrifying seal, the true power of the True Form of Ksitigarbha was unimaginable. Could it surpass the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda and claim the title of the strongest legendary artifact, capable of challenging even the mightiest ninth-realm existences?

Boom—

The sword qi collided with the palm of the True Form of Ksitigarbha, and in an instant, a brilliant light surged. For a fleeting moment, the light seemed to freeze.

With the support from the Longevity of Heaven and Earth, the power Chu Liang unleashed with the legendary sword was almost as powerful as the force needed to slay a being at the Heavenly Origin Realm!

When the light dissipated, an obvious hole could be seen in the palm of the True Form of Ksitigarbha. Although no blood flowed from its body, it was clear that it had been injured!

After the sword strike, the True Form of Ksitigarbha suddenly looked up and let out a thunderous roar, "Raaaaaar!"

With this earth-shaking roar, the wind and clouds surged violently, and the black sun reappeared, casting the world into an abyss of darkness. No trace of light remained as a powerful black hurricane erupted, sweeping from north to south, engulfing Mount Shu in its fearsome grasp!

Taking advantage of the brief chaos, the disciples of the Dark King Sect fled towards White-Bone Mountain, the black whale, and other enchanted mounts, desperately trying to escape!

The righteous cultivators naturally did not want to let them escape, but in this oppressive darkness, the disciples with slightly weaker cultivation levels felt their souls wavering, constantly at risk of being swept away by the hurricane!

"Sadhuuuuuuu."

It was only when the old monk on the Dharma Lotus Platform started chanting a Buddhist phrase that everyone’s souls began to stabilize.

However, those at the seventh realm had no such concerns and pursued their fleeing enemies to their heart\'s content.

Especially at this moment, a burst of fire erupted from the southwest, accompanied by an indignant roar. "Devils, don’t you flee!"

Di Nufeng\'s fist, surrounded by purple-gold flames and infused with the crimson-gold blood qi of the Phoenix Spirit Blood Jade, fiercely struck toward the giant black whale!

Fortunately, a nearby azure river surged into a giant wave, forming a towering barrier that blocked the punch.

The black whale couldn\'t risk picking up more disciples of the Dark King Sect. And so, even before all the men of the Northern Abyss Hall had boarded, the black whale fled in haste!

Otherwise, if Di Nufeng\'s punch had landed, even this giant whale, that was as big as a hill, couldn\'t withstand it and would likely have been killed by a single blow!

As for Lu Chengchou, he was pinned down by Venerable Wen Yuan\'s palm. His eyes suddenly widened in shock, his mouth opened in a silent gasp, and he froze motionless.

He seemed dead.

Venerable Wen Yuan frowned.

This was a secret technique of the Dark King Sect, which extracted one\'s soul!

With Lu Chengchou under his grip, no one in the world could take Lu Chengchou. Yet, the Dark King Sect directly extracted his soul, which was unexpected.

Venerable Wen Yuan immediately raised his hand to grab the soul back, but the True Form of Ksitigarbha in the sky took a deep breath, instantly sucking Lu Chengchou\'s soul into its mouth!

Even as this tug-of-war happened, the soul still swiftly flew towards the True Form of Ksitigarbha.

It was still challenging to fight against the power of a legendary artifact.

Venerable Wen Yuan frowned again.

Lu Chengchou had reached the seventh realm of cultivation. If he found a suitable body, he might be reborn. However, for an Eminent One, losing the body they had cultivated in meant that their path of cultivation had been severed.

At best, he would be like Old Fei, an incomplete seventh-realm being who could only impress those below the seventh realm. However, his weakness of being an incomplete being would be obvious when facing true Eminent Ones.

This level of cultivation would no longer pose a threat to Mount Shu.

What Venerable Wen Yuan truly feared wasn\'t his cultivation level, but his identity as a Lu Family descendant and his knowledge of the Mount Shu Sect\'s secrets. Having such an enemy around made it impossible to sleep peacefully.

At this moment, a streak of lightning suddenly shot out from the side!

The Discipline Master flicked her hand, sending out a black light that coiled around the soul.

"Scoundrel, do you think you can escape?" she snarled.

Lu Chengchou, being in the form of a soul, displayed a look of terror. He screamed, raised his hand, and suddenly tore himself apart!

With a ripping sound, he ripped off the part of his soul bound below his chest, splitting it into two!

The small part above his chest flew into the mouth of Ksitigarbha, while the larger part was yanked down by the Discipline Master. With a swift, powerful palm strike, she crushed it into stardust!

Now he was missing most of his soul...

Even if he survived, he might not even have the power of the fourth or fifth realm.

Only an Eminent One could show such powerful tenacity. If Lu Chengchou wasn’t at the seventh realm, this tug-of-war would have resulted in his soul being torn apart and scattered into thin air.

Of course, only the True Form of Ksitigarbha had the power to snatch a soul from the sect leader of the Mount Shu Sect. After absorbing Lu Chengchou\'s soul, it immediately looked up to the sky.

With countless chains pulling, in an instant, the giant True Form of Ksitigarbha was dragged into the void.

Venerable Wen Yuan no longer tried to stop it, knowing that no one present had the power to confine this legendary artifact. Even the Buddhist legendary artifact, the Dharma Lotus Platform, which wasn\'t particularly adept at killing and fighting, would be ineffective.

The remaining fragments of Lu Chengchou’s soul as well as the True Form of Ksitigarbha departed.

Venerable Wen Yuan, whose flow of qi seemed disrupted, immediately looked around.

The members of the Four Halls of Darkness fled on their enchanted mounts, leaving behind many scattered disciples who couldn’t catch up. Only the black whale of the Northern Abyss Hall was still present as its escape was delayed by the disruption caused by Di Nufeng.

"Hmph." Venerable Wen Yuan snorted coldly, reaching out his hand to grab something unseen.

The clouds in the void suddenly coalesced into a massive hand that shot down and grabbed the black whale, squeezing it firmly.

Boom—

The massive black whale exploded in mid-air, its flesh and blood ground into nothing by the crushing force of the clouds, leaving not a speck behind.

The Northern Abyss Hall of the Dark King Sect was completely annihilated.

This was the wrath of an eighth-realm expert. Against any existence at the eighth-and-a-half realm, he might seem slightly powerless, but against anything below the Heavenly Origin Realm, it was an unquestionable display of overwhelming power.

With the departure of the True Form of Ksitigarbha, the black sun vanished and daylight was restored. The righteous forces then set about eliminating the remaining disciples of the diabolical sect, cleansing the battlefield of their evil presence.

The Dharma Lotus Platform in the sky emitted a radiant Buddha light, enveloping all of Mount Shu and causing everyone to glow with vibrant rainbow colors.

This made it impossible for any disciples of the diabolical sect to hide!

The thirty-six peaks of Mount Shu immediately became Di Nufeng\'s playground!

"Little thing, where are you running!"

"Hehe!"

A fiery figure with wings spread wide leaped through the air, leaving intense afterimages. Each blazing spark claimed an enemy, lighting up the battlefield with relentless fury!

The disciples of the Mount Shu Sect and various other immortal sects gradually stopped, not daring to approach or pursue further...

They were all scared that they might be accidentally injured. These young disciples had only heard of Di Nufeng\'s notorious reputation in Mount Shu but did not realize just how terrifying she truly was.

After witnessing today\'s scene, they immediately understood.

Di Nufeng was both ruthless and exceptionally skilled at combat. No one would want to encounter an enemy like her!

Venerable Wen Yuan did not participate in the battle on the ground. Instead, he turned around and pointed towards Guardian Peak with a serious expression!

Amidst thunderous roars, countless rocks rose from the ground, swirling around Baize\'s giant egg and rapidly reassembling into a towering mountain. In the blink of an eye, dense trees grew back on the rocks.

In an instant, a mountain peak was effortlessly rebuilt!

...

Chu Liang did not participate in cleaning up the battlefield. After killing Taowu with one strike and injuring the True Form of Ksitigarbha with another, he felt the power of the Whale-Riding Immortal withdraw from his body. The moment that happened, Chu Liang experienced an indescribable pain in his meridians, bones, and soul.

Every part of his body had been forcibly and violently expanded by the immense power, far beyond what his body could endure!

This was the power of the immortal art, Longevity of Heaven and Earth. Under normal circumstances, even a seventh-realm Eminent One infusing foundational qi into the body of a fourth-realm cultivator would be enough to rupture their meridians and flesh, causing them to explode. It didn’t need to be the power of an eighth realm.

However, after using the Longevity of Heaven and Earth, Chu Liang only experienced the side effect of full-body pain. This was not entirely bad for him; it served as a valuable learning experience. If he were to control a more powerful force in the future, he would be able to handle it more skillfully.

He wanted to thank the Whale-Riding Immortal, but he could no longer find him. At this point, Mount Shu was in chaos, a state that would likely persist for some time.

Chu Liang first spotted Liu Xiaoyu\'er in the crowd.

The young girl was squatting in a corner under the stage, terrified by what had just happened, but luckily she was unharmed.

Chu Liang felt a wave of relief wash over him, which made him ponder why the safety of a koi fish concerned him so deeply.

Despite his musings, he knew the situation was still unstable. And so, he decided to send Liu Xiaoyu\'er back to Silver Sword Peak.

The Golden-Furred Hou was still guarding the peak, and Chu Liang couldn\'t help but worry if the Golden-Furred Hou might be in danger.

But what he found was beyond his expectations.

The Golden-Furred Hou was fine, but their home was gone...

"I\'m so stupid. Seriously..."

Chu Liang stared at the chaos before him. A quarter of the fruits had been devoured, another quarter lay uprooted from the garden, and amidst it all, the Golden-Furred Hou slept soundly, completely oblivious to the destruction surrounding it.

His gaze was lifeless, his whole body trembled, and his heart ached.

"I always knew the members of the diabolical sect were evil, but I didn\'t expect their bottom line to be so low that they wouldn\'t even spare innocent fruits!"
