The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 109 - 55 Sea God Poseidon
Chapter 109: Chapter 55 Sea God Poseidon
"Pfft"
Amid the sky, Kunpeng spat out a mouthful of blood, the blood roiling and steaming, releasing an incredibly foul stench. The Demon Master Palace was Kunpeng’s life-bound Magic Treasure. The shattering of the Demon Master Palace, being connected to his spirit, naturally resulted in Kunpeng suffering heavy injuries.
"Tsks tsks... You dumbass are too weak to take a hit, spitting blood already? I only used a third of my strength, and your body is this fragile! Grandson! Are you perhaps lacking in vigor?" Red Cloud, with hands behind his back, spoke maliciously.
"Pfft..." Once again, Kunpeng sprayed out a mouthful of dark blood, glaring at Red Cloud with deep resentment, "You... you’re not Red Cloud! Who the heck are you?"
"Oh? So this fatty’s body is called Red Cloud? Heh, what an unlucky guy!" Red Cloud cackled wickedly, picking his ear with his pinky, "Grandson, listen up! This great lord is the magnificent Sea God, ’Poseidon’!"
"Poseidon?" Kunpeng pronounced the name awkwardly, asking, "Where do you come from? How could you possess Red Cloud’s body?"
"I’ve got no clue! All I know is that it’s a good thing I’m not dead, thief hahaha..." Poseidon burst into laughter, his demeanor extremely arrogant.
"Huh? Poseidon? Holy shit, Mount Olympus?" Li Qingming heard this name abruptly and his eyeballs nearly popped out.
"Hehe, such is fate! The Heavenly Dao is unjust; I, Kunpeng, do not accept this!" Kunpeng painfully closed his eyes, howling up at the sky.
"Heh heh, then go die with that regret!" Poseidon jeered, suddenly producing a three-pronged steel fork glowing with a faint blue light in his hand.
"Clang!"
A deafening boom resounded through the heavens. Wave after wave of visible ripples vibrated, spreading outwards in all directions.
It was as if space itself had frozen, with Poseidon completely immobilized. But in the blink of an eye, Poseidon broke free from the binding of space and raised his head to look up at the sky.
"Brother, set up the array!" Taiyi was holding a huge bronze bell in his hand, embellished with flora, fauna, mountains, and rivers, all-inclusive.
Di Jun, on the other hand, held the River Map in his left hand and the Luo Book in his right.
"Go, array up!"
With a light shout from Di Jun, the River Map and Luo Book flew straight into the sky.
This Heavenly River Luo Formation infused with the qi of Heaven and Earth was a Killing Array created by Di Jun after more than a thousand years of arduous cultivation.
The so-called "Primordial River Luo Formation" was arranged according to the layout of the Primordial rivers, mountains, the waxing and waning of the moon, etc., encompassing myriads of phenomena. It included the geography of the rivers and mountains of Primordial, all the rivers and streams, the seas and the skies, birds and beasts, and evolved the myriad changes of the Primordial World.
What made this array even more ingenious was that one within it would lose track of time. One could see snow-capped mountains turning into seas, seas transforming into fields, and on the River Map, illusions of life and death, growth and decay were countless, as if billions of years had passed, akin to enduring an Infinite Tribulations.
For those of weak resolve, upon entering the array, they would instantly age from youth to white hair, their bodies still existing, but their souls extinguished!
"Oh, there’s backup, is there? This time, it’s worth my full attention!" Poseidon swung his steel fork and pointed at Di Jun from a distance, arrogantly shouting, "Grandson, what else can you do besides ganging up? A bunch of cowardly thieves!"
Who were Di Jun and Taiyi? They were two Great Emperors of the Heavenly Court, who normally held high positions. Who would not bow and scrape before them, courteous to a fault? When had they ever been humiliated like this?
Both were instantly filled with towering rage, murderous aura enveloping the heavens.
Di Jun’s hands were frantically forming Seal Techniques, mysterious runes emitting a golden radiance, as they directly entered the Heavenly River Luo Formation.
Taiyi, with his hair dishevelled as if he were mad, stepped into the array with the Seven Star Steps. The rhythm of the Chaos Bell in his hands was completely off; it was just mechanically clanging, one note after another.
As both their attacks were not directed at Kunpeng, Kunpeng, although also within the array, was not affected at all.
Although the two secretely resented Kunpeng’s greed for trying to seize the Hongmeng Purple Qi, he was, after all, a Demon Master of the Heavenly Court. Should the Demon Master fall, the Heavenly Court would be shaken, which would impinge upon the dignity of the Heavenly Court. After all, if you can’t even protect the most basic security of your subordinates, who would dare pledge loyalty to you, the Heavenly Court?
At this point, Poseidon finally changed his expression, unable to fathom why there was such a huge disparity between the two. How deeply had those couple of sentences hurt them?
"Clang!"
Taiyi hammered at the Chaos Bell, ferociously attacking Poseidon. The mere reverberation of the sound waves forced Poseidon into a tight spot. Truth be told, Taiyi was a battle maniac; when it came to war, he charged more fiercely than anyone.
Around Poseidon, a faint blue shield tinged with streaks of blood radiated, the steel fork in his hand brandished with menacing vigor.
The two of them attacked each other in turn. In less than fifteen minutes, they had clashed over a thousand times without a clear victor.
"Grandson, I didn’t expect you to be quite formidable!" Poseidon, defending against the sonic waves in the Chaos, had a mocking smile on his face as he teased Taiyi.
"Hmph!" Taiyi’s expression was as still as water, and he coldly snorted in response.
"Second brother, come out of the Formation quickly, your elder brother needs to operate the Great Formation with all my strength!" Di Jun, who was in meditation within the Formation in the sky, suddenly opened his eyes and called out in a low voice.
"Boom!"
Taiyi and Poseidon clashed one final time, and using the momentum of their retreat, Taiyi grabbed Kunpeng and exited the Formation.
"Ha, don’t run away! Fight with this grandpa for another three hundred rounds!" Poseidon laughed heartily, wishing to pursue them out of the Formation. But to Poseidon’s chagrin, Taiyi, who appeared within reach, somehow remained ungraspable. Left with no other choice, he could only watch helplessly as Taiyi made his escape.
"Boom!"
Just then, the entire Formation suddenly burst forth with a light tens of thousands of feet high. This light was filled with an endless ancient sentiment, transcending the limits of time and space, enveloping an area of several thousand feet within its reach.
The light didn’t last long. When the light dispersed, the land within the spatial Formation had completely transformed!
The original flora and towering mountains had all vanished, replaced by an endless expanse of Primordial fierce beasts, an everlasting range of desolate ancient mountains, and a boundless azure ocean.
"Huh?" Poseidon furrowed his brow, looking at the drastically changed scenery of mountains and seas before him. He suddenly felt incredibly insignificant within this vast and limitless world.
After staring blankly for a long while, Poseidon mumbled to himself, "What is this? It feels quite similar to the effects of the Hexagram Array!"
Time passed day by day, with Poseidon hurriedly running in the direction of Taiyi’s disappearance. He found that he was utterly unable to leave this place—
with endless mountain ranges before him and the boundless ocean behind him.
In the face of this uninhabited Primordial expanse, he seemed to have lost all his senses, left with no choice but to keep searching for a way out.
Initially, Poseidon had managed to entertain himself. He reminisced about every moment on Mount Olympus and later on, honed his Magic Power and toughened his body.
Eventually, unable to go on, Poseidon collapsed on the ground, gazing blankly at a sapling in front of him slowly growing into a towering tree. He watched the rising and falling tides of the great ocean gradually drying up!
It was as if time was boundlessly and endlessly stretching out before him!
"Could it be that this grandpa is destined to spend a lonely life trapped within this boundless Formation?" Poseidon began to reflect seriously on all his actions, carefully contemplating the traces of his existence.
Outside the Formation.
"Big brother, do you think he’s dead?" Taiyi casually shook the Chaos Bell in his hand as he spoke to Di Jun.
A divine light flashed in Di Jun’s eyes as he said, "He’s not far from death! Hm? Not good..."
Within the Formation, madness flickered in Poseidon’s eyes. Time was indiscernible as Poseidon suddenly roared at the sky, "Thieves, hahaha, I, Poseidon, have lived long enough to earn my worth! But Zeus and Hades are still freely roaming the world! My hatred!"
"Boom!"
In that instant, a thunderous explosion echoed; immediately, the Heavenly River Luo Formation set up by Di Jun was forcibly ruptured by the immense rebounding force of Poseidon’s self-destructing body! The surrounding space for thousands of miles collapsed all at once, as fire, water, wind, and earth surged incessantly, as if the dawn of Chaos had arrived once again!
The River Diagram and Luo Book in the Void let out a mournful sound, flying back into Di Jun’s hands.
The light in Di Jun’s eyes flickered unpredictably as he stared intensely at the dusty ground.
Where was Poseidon to be found in the original place? Only a sky full of red blood mist and Chaos Qi leaking from the shattered Void remained.
"Swish!"
A red light trailed by a pale blue tail streaked across the Void, heading straight for Mount Buzhou.
