Demon Cultivator with Celestial Book-Chapter 122 - 104: At Worst, We’ll Just Sink Yanfu
A blazing sun hung high, patrolling Luzhou Continent!
It moved with the momentum to cross countless thousands of miles and shine upon all of Nan Zhan!
This began long before Jiang Yi from Observing Sun Peak’s Merit Supervision Institute even reached the threshold and looked up.
The Eight Demonic Sects had all sensed it; some of their True Monarchs even moved to intercept.
"Ji Fuyao! You’re courting death!"
In the boundless void, a voice of the Dao boomed like peeling thunder. The vast Spiritual Energy roiled and churned like a boiling cauldron.
Myriad Qi Mechanisms collided, seeming to draw down heavenly thunder and earthly fire, creating the terrifying spectacle of all existence falling into silent annihilation.
An impossibly majestic Dharma Body, so vast it propped up the heavens and covered the earth, brutally tore its way through the void.
It filled seventy to eighty percent of the boundless, dim void, making the vast expanse seem narrow and cramped.
As a deep and heavy voice of the Dao echoed, a dazzling, world-illuminating mass of Xin Metal Qi suddenly erupted, instantly transforming into a blade of light hundreds of thousands of miles long that slashed down with terrifying force!
"I was wondering who it was. So, it is Chengxuan Yuying True Monarch."
"You cultivate Xin Metal as your foundation, yet you dare act so presumptuously?"
Within the blazing sun, which moved like a chariot, a phantom figure appeared. Its form was indistinct, its face even more obscure.
But as He stood in the void, a grand aura of resplendent light spread from beneath His feet, illuminating all corners of existence. Endless visions of the Great Dao responded of their own accord, like vassals paying homage to their sovereign.
"Xin Metal is the embodiment of extreme Yin, yet it contains the Essence of extreme Yang. This is what makes it hard, unyielding, and unique among all things."
The voice was like that of a master teaching the Dao, lecturing from on high. With every word that boomed forth, the sword light of golden Qi, which stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles, was diminished.
"Unfortunately, Xin Metal dissipates when it meets Yang."
When these nine words fell, thundering through the void, all movement ceased. Every trace of the attack was annihilated, leaving not even a ripple behind.
"To cross an entire continent on a patrol of the heavens! Emperor, you have some nerve!"
As the sword light faded, a crimson Qi surged upward, blazing like a celestial inferno bent on incinerating the world, scorching everything to blackness until the very seas boiled away and mountains turned to dust.
As this new Dharma Body emerged, the blazing sun dimmed for a moment, its brilliant light momentarily eclipsed.
"Ding Fire takes the form of a candle’s flame; when it meets the great sun, its light is stolen. In its prime, it can forge a thousand pounds of iron; when weakened, it can scarcely melt an inch of gold."
The phantom figure’s robes billowed as it seemed to take a step forward, laughing heartily.
"Worthy of a disciple of Grand Ancestor Taiyu. The principle has always been ’Bing Stealing Ding Light,’ yet you, my friend, can reverse it. To use the form of a candle flame to weaken the light of Pure Yang... truly, a magnificent technique."
But then the phantom figure pointed a single finger. Innumerable streams of wood Qi cascaded forth, dyeing the void an emerald green.
Visions of mountains and seas, birds and beasts, fish and insects, and the circulating stars of the heavens all poured down like rain.
The raging celestial inferno, potent enough to burn through an entire minor world, was extinguished in an instant.
"You must understand that among the Yin Five Elements, Ding Fire has the mightiest offense, but it is also the most easily countered."
"Damp wood injures Ding, Ji Earth smothers Ding, Ren Water extinguishes Ding, and dual Metal drains Ding... My friend, you were at an Innate disadvantage from the very beginning."
Just like that, with a casual display of power, two Demon Path True Monarchs were forced into retreat.
The blazing sun-chariot continued its patrol, traversing the Profound Dome as if nothing could stand in its way!
But a few breaths later, a Grand and Fierce Sound shattered the void, like countless billions of thunder-dragons and serpents roaring in unison!
This Qi Mechanism was so overwhelmingly powerful that it seemed to press down on the Nanzhan Continent, causing the entire landmass to sink—
"Ji the Kid, tell Upper Profound, Upper Yuan, and Upper Origin to stop protecting you."
"Or how about we see if I can crush a so-called Immortal Dao Emperor like you with half a finger!"
The moment the Grand and Fierce Sound appeared, its presence was felt not just on the Nanzhan Continent, but across the entire, boundless Yanfu Vast Land.
All Cultivators of both the Immortal and Demon Daos—any who had reached the Qi Cultivation Twelfth Layer—felt a terrifying dread, their Heart Spirits trembling in fear.
"In another five thousand years, I shall personally test your Divine Techniques, Senior."
The phantom figure smiled, looking toward the source of that Grand and Fierce Sound which spanned all of creation and filled the cosmos.
"As for right now, I most certainly wouldn’t dare."
"Then scram!"
The source of the Grand and Fierce Sound manifested, revealing a white-bearded old man with a high, prominent forehead and a full face.
"Others may be suppressed by your [Tai Yang], but I’m not buying it."
The phantom figure halted, its gaze piercing the void to look down below. Countless mountains and rivers appeared like tiny mustard seeds, all taken in at a glance, yet it still found nothing.
"Senior, you cultivate the [Primordial Magnetism] arts, which fall outside the [Five Elements] and are not among the [Five Qi]. Truly one of a kind in all of Yanfu."
This Immortal Dao Emperor, the master of [Tai Yang], cupped his hands in a gesture of farewell.
"I have offended a Great Power today. I hope you will forgive me."
"I know that cat is on the Nanzhan Continent, and I am well aware of the Eight Sects True Monarchs’ plot. You want the heir of the Zhongyi Sect to take the throne, unseal the [Yang Qi Taiyin Heaven], and shake my Golden Position."
"The board is set, and I won’t hide my own moves. Whoever dares to open the [Yang Qi Taiyin Heaven] will be struck down by [Tai Yang] and the [Thunder Core]. I guarantee it."
"Heaven and Earth have already borne witness through Sympathy. No one can hide from this fate."
The source of the Grand and Fierce Sound remained silent.
"I will be in White Jade City, waiting for the Upper Cultivators of the Demon Dao to come and challenge me..."
As the phantom figure was speaking, the placid void suddenly shattered. A deafening CRACK of grinding thunder erupted, unleashing a blinding, silvery-white radiance.
It was brilliant, magnificent, and utterly unstoppable!
The killing blow came without warning. The blazing sun high in the heavens was instantly pierced, then shattered, sending endless streams of fire scattering in every direction!
"You dare!"
"Wei Guang, you old lunatic! Have you gone mad?!"
"To ambush a junior... you’re utterly shameless!"
"Are you trying to start another Immortal-Demon War...?"
A chorus of furious shouts arose, but they were all drowned out by the Grand and Fierce Sound as the white-bearded old man roared with laughter.
"Son of a bitch! You let this little brat patrol the skies of the Nanzhan Continent and thought I’d just let it slide?"
"You want a fight? Fine! The worst that can happen is we sink the entire Yanfu Vast Land!"
The once boundless void suddenly seemed crowded.
Several Great Powers, cloaked in iridescent mists and crowned with halos, gathered there. Though they did their utmost to restrain their power, the vast and potent visions of their Daos still shattered the celestial firmament and reached into the outer cosmos.
"Why lower yourself to a junior’s level?"
"Go fuck your mother!"
"Brother Wei Guang, do me this favor..."
"Shove off, you damn buzzard!"
"Don’t go too far..."
"Not happy? Guts enough for a one-on-one?!"
There in the void, the voice of the Grand and Fierce Sound faced down numerous Great Powers alone, not giving an inch.
A ray of Buddha-light rose from the Ximizhou Continent and entered the void. A gentle voice spoke:
"Cease your anger, everyone! Fellow Daoists, why be so enraged? The Dao struggles of the juniors below are no reason to go this far."
From the Beiju Continent, a towering figure also appeared, striding slowly into their midst.
"Emperor Ji was indeed too brazen; one cannot blame Brother Wei Guang for his thunderous fury. However, a lesson has been taught. There is no need to pursue this further."
With a clamor of voices and a clash of cosmic phenomena, the gathered powers pressed the Grand and Fierce Sound back toward the Nanzhan Continent.
The white-bearded old man glanced toward White Jade City in the distance, a flicker of regret in his eyes.
That phantom had only been a manifestation of his Dao-nature, not his true self.
If that ambush had managed to injure Ji Fuyao’s Dharma Body, it might have caused the [Tai Yang] to lose its luster and its conceptual power to be greatly diminished.
’I’m actually a refined and easy-going person, not one who likes to fight.’
’Out of respect for the World Honored One and the Dragon Monarch, I’ll let Ji the Kid off the hook this time. But there won’t be a next time.’
Knowing he could gain no further advantage, the white-bearded old man turned and left without another word.
’That cat... just who did it pass its Dao Inheritance to? Who pried open the [Yang Qi Taiyin Heaven] and stirred up Ji Fuyao?’
