Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 701 Black Lotus
"Well done!"

The holy sword was coming to strike down, but Indra was not afraid at all. He raised the trident and went up to the sky, ready to confront the enemy head-on.

With the help of that strange power, he has regained the authority of the Emperor of Heaven and is now a top-level Earthly Immortal. He even has the possibility of breaking through to become a Heavenly Immortal. His strength has increased dramatically.

Although his opponent was even more terrifying, being the Lord of Disaster who held great power over heaven and earth, he had just come into direct conflict with the power of the Three Phases. It was an extreme collision, and it was impossible for him, a ninth-rank human immortal, to not suffer any damage at all.

As one side gains, the other loses, and I will definitely be able to...

"boom!!!"

Before he could make up his mind, he was suppressed. The holy sword slashed down with a force of more than ten thousand pounds. Indra raised his trident and tried to meet the attack, but was still suppressed by the sword, like a meteorite falling to the ground. The power of the Emperor of Heaven that he had regained in desperation was not enough to compete with the other party.

"How is this possible!?"

Such a result was unbelievable. Indra roared unwillingly and wanted to fight back, but he saw the ground shaking under his feet. It was the Bharata God Realm that fell apart. The pressure from the positive and negative Nine-Yi Sword Formation increased in an instant.

Under the desperate attacks of the monks in the academy, the gods of Brahma were already struggling to hold on, and now seeing the power of the three phases being broken and the Emperor of Heaven being possessed by the devil, this scene was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely crushing the gods of Brahma to the ground, and the shaky realm of Brahma also collapsed.

Once the Bharata realm collapsed, the power of heaven and earth flowed unimpeded, and the power of the sword formation naturally increased dramatically.

With the Nine Instruments and Three Talents, under the heavy pressure of heaven and earth, Indra felt like he was carrying Mount Tai on his back, and there were cries of exhaustion all over.

However, the opponent paid no attention and swung his sword again, hitting his demonized body hard.

"puff!!!"

There was a dull sound, and the head and body were separated. The Bharata demon, who was unable to dodge or defend himself, was beheaded by the sword. Afterwards, without waiting for his body to recover, a five-colored light barrier appeared, which absorbed everything and swallowed up the demon's head and body.

The battle was over and the dust had settled, but everyone was in a daze and couldn't react. Even the immortals who were watching the live broadcast were stunned and silent.

Is this over?

Didn’t they say that turning dark would make him ten times stronger?
How come it was suppressed in an instant?
Everyone was speechless. Xu Yang also said nothing. He just withdrew the sword domain and said to the cultivators of the academy outside the formation: "The demon leader has been killed. The rest of the people who surrender will not be killed!"

After saying this, he turned away, leaving the mess for everyone to clean up.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The practitioners in the academy were silent for a while, then shifted their gaze to look at the remaining Brahma gods and began to move skillfully.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

"Take them all!"

"Clean up the battlefield, don't leave anything out!"

"The Brahma sect has fallen into the devil's way. From today on, its inheritance is banned. All its followers will be imprisoned and tried. Their divine domain will be destroyed and their mountain gates will be broken. All the wealth obtained will be confiscated..."

All the practitioners in the academy moved skillfully, issuing commands one after another, cleaning up the battlefield and sorting out the mess.

The battle to slay demons and the fight between gods and immortals came to an end.

"this……!?"

The live broadcast ended and the screen stopped, but everyone was still in a daze, and it was even harder to sort out their thoughts. Only a group of immortals and gods woke up in shock.

Thinking back to Indra who had just been transformed into a demon and then defeated in an instant, all the immortals and gods frowned and felt depressed.

Emperor Brahma has fallen into the path of evil!
Could it be that the rumor was true, and that the golden immortal fruit was really a forgery of a demon from outside the domain?
In the past, all the major divine systems fought for this, and finally the Golden Immortal Demon Fruit was divided. Each party got something, and it was not monopolized by Brahma.

Now that something has happened to the Brahma sect, and the Emperor of Heaven, who was enthroned together with the Three Gods in Mahadeva, has fallen into evil, what is the situation of the Three Gods who are still in Mahadeva?
As for the various great Dao masters, immortals, and Buddhas who had seized part of the Golden Immortal Demon Fruit back then, were they also infected by the Golden Immortal Demon Fruit, suffering from the demonic poison and unable to extricate themselves?
If this is true, then wouldn't the world be in danger?

Among the Taoist traditions in this world, the six can be said to be the top, collectively known as the six major divine systems, namely the Immortal Dao, Buddhism, as well as Brahma, the Temple of Heaven, Olympus, and Asgard.

The leaders of these six major pantheons are all supreme immortals and Buddhas in the world, and under them are two to three celestial immortals. Together with those from other Taoist sects and other pantheons, there are nearly thirty celestial immortals in total.

If these thirty celestial beings were all infected by the Golden Immortal Demon Fruit, then wouldn't this world... be about to collapse?

Who can stop thirty demonized celestial beings?
Not to mention that there is also the Desire Realm who is eyeing them covetously. The Desire Realm Demon Lord Po Xun can actually disguise himself as the Golden Immortal Demon Fruit and deceive the world into causing the major gods to fight for it, and eventually fall into a killing game and be infected by the devil. This kind of person is probably... not a Golden Immortal?
The immortals and gods were unaware of what had happened. They were filled with fear and no longer had time to think about what had happened before.

It's not that their faith is weak, like grass that bends when struck by the wind. The real issue is that the impact of Indra's demonic possession was too great, and it involved the three gods and the entire Brahma religion, as well as all the major pantheons. Even the immortals and gods felt that a catastrophe was imminent and were helpless in the face of such a calamity.

What to do, what to do!
On the Golden Summit of Emei Mountain, Ren Baimei stood with his hands behind his back, and remained silent for a long time.

Until someone came hurriedly: "Master, the Great Master sent a letter, inviting you to Bajing Palace for a chat!"

"..."

Ren Baimei was silent for a while, and then he replied, "Got it, let's go down!"

"Yes!"

The visitor nodded and was about to leave.

"and many more!"

However, Ren Baimei stopped him again, pointing out a beam of spiritual light falling into his arms: "Send this visiting card to the Wandao Academy... to the Alliance Heavenly Dao Master!"

"Alliance Heavenly Dao Master?"

The disciple was startled, then realized: "Yes!"

After saying this, he left with the visiting card, leaving Baimei alone in the wind.

"It's not too late to mend the fold...right?!"

Ren Baimei murmured, looking into the distance at the sky, his eyes changing in an indescribable way.

the other side……

In the Wandao Palace, Xu Yang sat alone. Jiuyi Tianzun had already left, leaving only Xuanyuan and his body and mind relaxed.

This battle was extremely exhausting and burdensome for him.

After all, he was only a ninth-rank human immortal. Combining all the laws and controlling the Nine Instruments to become a master had already consumed most of his energy. Now, taking over the power of heaven and earth, he had to bear the weight before he could wear the crown. Such a burden was even more terrifying.

Even he, after such consumption, felt a bit exhausted and needed to recuperate for a while. This was the disadvantage of insufficient cultivation. External forces were only external forces after all. They could only be used as a protective technique, not as a method of achieving enlightenment. One's own strength was the foundation.

Fortunately, he gained new insights from this battle, and his Taoism was completed. The road to heaven has been paved under his feet, and it is not difficult to make fundamental improvements.

But before that...

Xu Yang waved his sleeves, and suddenly there was a stream of light, condensing into a colorful lotus, and in the center of the colorful lotus there was a dark wheel spinning.

A black lotus was placed in it, subject to the restrictions of the five elements, and even to the forces of life, death, and rebirth, but it was not damaged at all. It only slowly turned in it, revealing a demonic nature that was difficult to describe in words.

Primordial Spirit Black Lotus!

This is what is left of Indra, the only thing left!
This Bharata Emperor was only above average in strength among the earthly immortals. Although he finally regained the authority of the Emperor with the help of the power of magic, it was not actually a recapture. He just lifted the restriction imposed on him by the Three-phase God.

Even so, his strength increased dramatically and reached the pinnacle of earthly immortals, no less than the ancient emperors of Shenzhou. However, facing Jiuyi Tianzun, who had the power of heaven and earth and the home advantage, he was still no match. Xu Yang's upper limit of strength and endurance were also far beyond his imagination due to the effects of his skill characteristics.

So, he was defeated. He was defeated as soon as he turned into a demon!
Although there must be something hateful about a pitiful person, and his situation is closely related to what the Three-phase God did to him, but in this situation, Xu Yang could not care too much. He could only suppress him and refine him with all his strength to see if he could destroy the Golden Immortal Demon Fruit.

That’s right, the Golden Immortal Demon Fruit. He also had a piece of the Golden Immortal Demon Fruit on him, otherwise he would not have been able to break the Three-phase God’s ban and use the power of demonization to take back the authority of heaven and earth.

As for how he got this magic fruit, Xu Yang was not quite sure, but he thought it must have been an accidental acquisition. After all, the great battle among the various gods shattered the Golden Immortal Magic Fruit, and no one could guarantee that there were not some fragments that leaked out, giving it to a "lucky guy" like him by coincidence.

Xu Yang killed him and refined his body. Finally, everything belonging to "Indra" disappeared and was annihilated in the five-colored divine light of Jiuyi Tianzun. Only this black lotus of primordial spirit remained, which even Jiuyi Tianzun could not refine.

Therefore, Xu Yang can be sure that this is the Golden Immortal Demon Fruit from that year, the Golden Immortal Demon Fruit faked by Mara Bo Xun, or in other words, the so-called Golden Immortal Demon Fruit is actually the Black Lotus of Bo Xun's soul.

As for why Po Xun wanted to throw his own soul, the Black Lotus, into this world and set up a trap for the major gods to fight for it, Xu Yang estimated that there were two possibilities. One was to invade this world, and the other was to reserve a backup plan for the Xuanhuang trap.

Needless to say, the former is the habit of the devil, devouring other worlds to strengthen itself.

As for the latter, it is related to the Xuanhuang situation.

The dispute between Xuanhuang and Xuanhuang intensified. The Xuanhuang immortals of the Tower of Babel were pressing forward step by step, while the desire-world demons of the Wanmo Abyss formed the "Three Heavens and Four Realms" to defend themselves.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Demon Abyss was declining and the Demon God was weakening. If the situation continued like this, even if there were three days and four worlds, it would be difficult to change the outcome of defeat.

But Mo Yuan still insists on doing so, which only means that they have something to rely on and need to delay time to turn defeat into victory and turn danger into safety.

The black lotus of the Blue Star Realm's primordial spirit might be their reliance. They want to delay until all the great Dao masters, immortals and Buddhas in the Blue Star Realm are infected by the black lotus evil, strengthen the power of Mara Po Xun, and then return to the Xuanhuang Realm and lead the army of the Demon Abyss to break the Tower of Babel to complete the reversal.

This is the most reasonable explanation Xu Yang could think of, and also the most likely possibility.

Of course, it is also possible that the Desire Realm has no hope of turning defeat into victory, Mara Poxun has no possibility of transforming into the great Taoist masters, immortals and Buddhas of the Blue Star, the Demon Abyss is only barely surviving by holding on to the Three Heavens and Four Realms, and so on.

It's not impossible, but for some things, you have to make the worst estimate and the worst plan.

Therefore, no matter whether it is or not, Xu Yang must treat it as it is, and must believe that these gods, immortals, and Buddhas of the Blue Star Realm have been infected by this black lotus, and are about to become part of Mara Po Xun and become the main force in his counterattack on the Xuanhuang Realm.

how to respond?

How to break the game?

Xu Yang looked at the black lotus of his soul that was restrained by the five-colored divine light, frowned, and remained silent for a long time.

He had already tried it. Even with the power of Jiuyi Tianzun, he could not destroy the black lotus of the primordial spirit, and he could not even damage it in the slightest.

He seemed to sense a breath of "immortality" from this black lotus.

Human immortals enter the Tao, earthly immortals reach the highest Tao, and celestial immortals merge with the Tao.

This is the realm of the three paths of immortals and gods.

What about the Golden Immortal above that Heavenly Immortal?
The Golden Immortal created the Tao, which is immortal and indestructible!
Based on some information collected from the Taoist Earthly Immortal Realm, the present Taixuan Realm, the Blue Star Realm and the Xuanhuang Realm, Xu Yang also had a slight understanding of the Golden Immortal Realm.

The Golden Immortal created the Tao and is eternal and immortal. Such an existence can open up chaos and create a world with supreme power. If it is not the Great Thousand, it is the Middle Thousand, and it possesses the nature of "immortality". Unless it is wiped out by a higher existence, such as the "Daluo", there is no limit to its lifespan or life.

Although those human immortals, earthly immortals, and celestial immortals can also be called immortal gods and can live forever, that is only immortality within this world. They live as long as the heaven and earth and shine as brightly as the sun and the moon. Once the heaven and earth decline, they will also decline.

The Golden Immortal is different. He is truly immortal and everlasting. Even if he is separated from his own world, he can exist forever in the chaotic void. Even life is meaningless to him, and rebirth by dripping blood is a trivial thing. As long as there is a method of His, a name or even a concept spread, He can be resurrected.

This is the Golden Immortal, the immortal Golden Immortal.

Although these are all records in classics, or even myths and legends, and do not have sufficient basis, there must be a reason for every smoke without fire. Before he came into contact with them, Xu Yang would treat them as true.

So, this Bo Xun is an immortal golden immortal?

But if he was a Golden Immortal, how could the already fallen Xuanhuang Realm be counterattacked, resulting in a situation where the Tower of Babel and the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss were facing each other?
But if he was not a Golden Immortal, how could his Primordial Spirit Black Lotus be so terrifying, even to the point of causing all the major Heavenly Immortals in the Blue Star Realm to become possessed and fall?

Contradictory, very contradictory!
But Xu Yang did not dwell on this dead end. He only thought about one thing now, which was how to break the situation.

Blue Star Realm?
Not much hope!

This black lotus of the primordial spirit was just a fragment, a tiny fragment that accounted for a small proportion of the total. Even so, it made him helpless. Not to mention the large fragments in the hands of the immortal masters of the major pantheons.

Unless he could break through swiftly and reach the level of an earthly immortal or even a celestial immortal, and then push the Tiangong Creation Method and the Jiuyi Sacred Method to the tenth and eleventh levels, and then combine some strength to attack, it would be impossible for him to take back all the Golden Immortal Magic Fruits and the Primordial Spirit Black Lotus from the hands of the celestial immortals of the major pantheons and destroy them.

This is totally unrealistic, so the Blue Star Realm has no hope of breaking out.

It depends on the Xuanhuang Realm!

Although he is just an earthly immortal in the Xuanhuang Realm, he has the Tower of Babel on top and a group of Xuanhuang immortals and gods as allies around him. Unlike the Blue Star Realm, he is alone and has to face obstacles from various major gods.

As long as we help the Xuanhuang Immortal God to break through the Demon Abyss before the situation deteriorates completely and the Poxun Black Lotus swallows up all the great celestial beings on Blue Star, there will be a possibility of resolving the crisis between the two worlds.

Otherwise... it's a complete loss!
With this thought in mind, Xu Yang no longer thought about it. He waved his sleeves to put away the black lotus of his soul, combined the Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Nine Instruments and the Three Talents into a formation, and even suppressed Xuanyuan's body.

This thing is too evil. Even Indra, an earthly immortal, was taken away by its thoughts. Even the celestial beings above him are in an unknown state because of it, and it is very likely that they will be contaminated by the devil. If you are an immortal alone and don't take strict precautions, who knows what the consequences will be.

Although he has not yet entered the path of evil along the way, Xu Yang does not want to have this experience, and it is not a regret for him.

After putting away the black lotus, Xu Yang changed his mind and returned to the Xuanhuang Realm.

Next, he would prepare his army for war, and when the safe time was over, he would attack the Three Heavens and Four Realms and engage in a decisive battle with the Demon Abyss.

The final moment is not far away!
