Born with immortal seed

Chapter 621 Fierce Battle of the Nascent Soul Stage

"A mere junior who has just reached the Nascent Soul stage dares to block the mountain and the road; does he really think he's some kind of old man?"

The handsome young man moved like smoke, his body becoming more solid with each step he took.

After a few steps, it took shape and arrived at the outer edge of the Dead Sea of ​​Qingqiu. Looking at the old man sitting casually on the blue stone in the distance, it sneered and said.

“Hongfa, if you leave now, I won’t resort to bullying. If you’re still lingering in a quarter of an hour, I’ll have no choice but to fight you.”

"It won't be more than a quarter of an hour. I'll be back to you right now... Although I'm not very talented, once I take over the position of peak master, I'll be responsible for keeping you on Mount Qingqiu, making sure you don't even think about leaving."

The old man shook his robe, and his previously scattered gaze instantly sharpened, exuding boundless majesty.

"court death!"

Fox White had already reached the Divine Transformation stage a thousand years ago, but was sealed in the mountains by the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master, who kept him at bay. He had almost no presence in the cultivation world and lost all face.

His anger flared when he received such a reply from a junior he considered a successor.

He held up a bead, using his demonic aura to draw in every wisp of demonic energy within a hundred miles.

With a flicker, the Demon Saint Pearl transformed into a colossal hand reaching for the sky, threatening to pulverize the Holy Monarch of the Dharma.

At the same time, numerous void chains completely sealed off all four sides.

Between the Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation stages, Fox White certainly didn't think he could win in just a few moves.

Even if one doesn't take Hongfa, this newly promoted deity, seriously, one wouldn't be so arrogant.

The competition among those who have reached the Divine Transformation stage is no longer about the level of their True Essence or the strength of their Supernatural Powers, but about their mastery of the laws of heaven and earth and their application of the true meaning of the Great Dao.

Taking advantage of the giant palm, Fox White opened its mouth and spat out another city that appeared behind it.

At the same time, it expanded rapidly, with cities connecting one after another, appearing and disappearing in the sea of ​​clouds, soon beyond the reach of sight.

The Qingqiu Dead Sea and the precipitous mountains have all vanished.

He remained unmoved before the Holy Lord of Dharma, and slapped his palm against the giant palm in the air.

One was seven feet tall, the other had a palm as big as a mountain; they were not even in the same league.

The two palms collided, first in silence, then with a thunderous roar. The seemingly unfair duel ended in a draw.

Its divine power spread, annihilating the entire area it touched.

If it weren't for the formation on Mount Qingqiu, the aftershocks of the collision between the two Nascent Soul cultivators would have been enough to reduce all living beings in this world to nothingness.

At the same time, the Holy Lord of Propagation of Dharma summoned the Great Void Divine Banner, and as soon as he stood in front of him, the phantom image of a thirteen-layered precious banner appeared.

Unaffected by evil, able to see through falsehoods and recognize truth, fearless of illusions.

The Taixu Divine Banner was retrieved from the sea of ​​clouds in the Nine Luminaries Cave, and then refined with Northern Heavenly Divine Mud to awaken its spirit, all in order to deal with the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox.

The lifelike architectural complex and the neighborhood where humans and demons lived together collapsed like dominoes when swept by the mysterious light of the void.

In an instant, the newly built structures could not keep up with the speed of destruction.

"What a wonderful magic weapon! As expected of the Moral Sect, the number of their Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures far exceeds the few that are on the surface."

Fox White frowned, sensing that this treasure was entirely aimed at him, perfectly countering the illusion.

With a finger pointing to the sky, the distance between the demon and the human was instantly widened, and no matter how they stepped forward or what kind of escape technique they used, they could not get closer.

He then sat cross-legged, made a hand seal, and a huge phantom of a fox flashed by and disappeared behind him.

The Holy Emperor who spreads the Dharma holds the Divine Banner of the Void in one hand and the Divine Whip in the other.

This time, it wasn't as simple as breaking through; no matter how much the Taixu Divine Banner was shaken, the distance didn't change.

The God-Chasing Whip struck repeatedly, but all its attacks landed on empty air, yielding no response.

This Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure was created after he refined the Demon Dragon Cone, washed away its demonic energy, and merged it with his own natal spiritual treasure.

It took nine fifth-tier spiritual artifacts passed down through generations of the Moral Sect, as well as a wisp of divine essence from an ancient deity, to obtain this supreme heaven-reaching spiritual treasure.

Under the whip of the gods, even gods and demons will flee. No matter what kind of innate god or demon you are, you will be transformed back into a mortal body after being whipped.

It has a certain restraining effect on all kinds of shapeshifting creatures.

It is not limited to transformed demons, but also includes human bodies formed from innate spiritual roots, and even spirits that have shed their shells.

However, there are a few examples of spiritual plants becoming human in the history of cultivation, but there is not a single transcendent artifact spirit.

Limited by the laws of heaven and earth, no magical treasure in the human world can cross the fifth-order barrier and reach the sixth-order level.

This is one of the reasons why those sixth-order Heaven-Opening Spiritual Treasures are so precious.

For a spirit to shed its shell and transcend, even a sixth-order spirit is not enough; it is a mere myth in the realm of earthly immortals.

With the gods and demons gone, the God-Chasing Whip could no longer unleash most of its supernatural powers, but fortunately it still had some effect on transformed demons.

If the whip hits you squarely, you can no longer maintain your human form and will have to reveal your true form.

"When it should be left, go forward; when it should be right, go back; three parts emptiness, seven parts fullness; from nothing comes something..."

The propagation of the Dharma was not chaotic; a single word revealed the great path of the fox spirit.

"What a beast! It can even comprehend the Dao of Illusion and Reality... Cultivation is not easy. It would be better to go back to seclusion and close the mountain. Why waste thousands of years of arduous cultivation?"

"Hongfa, you're courting death!"

Fox White let out a shriek and revealed its true form, its entire body pure white without a single blemish, its nine fluffy tails dancing in the air, blotting out the sky.

With a raised paw, it was already taller than Mount Qingqiu behind it, and its nine tails broke through the layer of fierce winds that stretched for thousands of feet.

The oppressive aura of a fifth-tier demon lord truly spread out, and even with the obstruction of the formation, all living beings in the Qingqiu Dead Sea and the surrounding area trembled in fear.

They were all prostrate on the ground, feeling as if a great calamity was about to befall them.

Whether they are unintelligent wild beasts or third-tier demon beasts, they are all treated equally before the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

It was paralyzed and out of control, and reeked of a foul stench.

The transformed demons are slightly better off, as they can still manage to control themselves, but they still need to reveal their true forms to defend themselves.

Several celestial foxes, tigers, leopards, and jackals suddenly appeared on Mount Qingqiu.

As the youngest of the three great demon lords of the world, Hu Bai had a very high opinion of himself.

Even though he was ranked below the Red-Eared Ancestor and the Ao Dragon, he only thought it was because of insufficient accumulation over the years, and did not feel that he was inferior in other aspects.

Originally, he thought he could simply drive away the newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator, Shang Hongfa. However, his words had provoked his anger, and even if it meant sacrificing his own lifespan, he would make this arrogant human cultivator suffer a great loss.

With a single slam of its claw, the heavens and earth collapsed, and a black hole appeared, beginning to devour the surrounding area.

"The Great Dao of Space? It's a mix of reality and illusion, creating something from nothing, turning dreams into reality... truly impressive!"

Hongfa bowed and straightened his body, which grew countless times larger, becoming a giant of light and shadow thousands of feet tall.

Although its size is still far from that of the fox white, at least it won't be completely ignored.

In the art of illusion, there are ultimately only two paths: one is to be extremely complex and intricate, striking directly at the heart of the mind.

Even if they know they are trapped in an illusion, they are powerless to break free, or rather, they do not want to leave and prefer to sink into it.

On the other hand, if illusion becomes reality, then what is the difference between reality and illusion?

If Fox White so desires, a grand dream can draw millions of living beings into the dream world, and the world created by the actions in the dream will ultimately be faithfully presented in the real world.

Knowing that ordinary methods were ineffective against the Tongtian Lingbao in Hongfa's hands, which was specifically designed to suppress illusions, it simply chose to confront the more direct path of Tao.

With over a thousand years more to go before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, how could the Great Dao Master possibly lose?

Of the three thousand Great Daos, it can transform between the real and the illusory; it only depends on how much power remains when it is applied to reality.

When the great paths clash, the true meaning of strength and weakness is determined by the quantity and quality of the opponent; there is no turning back.

The defeated party will inevitably suffer damage to their very essence, which will then be reflected back to their inner world, causing damage a hundred times more severe than physical injury.

The giant of light and shadow showed no panic. The two heaven-reaching spiritual treasures in his hands grew larger at the same time. The Taixu Divine Banner stabilized the earth, water, wind, and fire, and calmed the shattered void.

The God-Slaying Whip transformed into countless whip shadows, striking where the opponent would inevitably defend, before appearing above the head of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.

However, when the nine fox tails flicked, the whip's shadow only stirred up ripples, causing the fur to shrink downwards.

It was highly elastic and effortlessly neutralized the attack.

Fox White's face was full of seriousness. He pressed his fox paw down on the black hole. It seemed like a casual strike, but it was the highest manifestation of his thousand-year-old cultivation level.

This immense power was so great that even the Taixu Divine Banner could not withstand it, and the banner shattered layer by layer. The black hole was reduced by three-tenths, but it recovered two-tenths by devouring external objects, and it could not be destroyed in an instant.

The giant of light and shadow trembled, pressing itself dozens of feet into the ground, making it shorter.

"Fellow Taoist, let me help you!"

At the critical moment, an oxcart came from the south, carrying a thin, middle-aged man with graying temples, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hands.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm here to help you too!"

To the east, there was a farmer, burly and barefoot, striding about with a stone hoe on his shoulder.

The two suddenly auras surged, revealing that they were both at the Nascent Soul stage.

Fox White was startled. Could this be a conspiracy by the human race against him, willing to pay any price to eliminate a fifth-tier demon?
But before descending the mountain today, I did not suddenly feel the urge to issue a warning.

The decision to muster the demon soldiers for the expedition was made on short notice. The agreed time with Ao Laolong and the other demons was still half a year away, and it was a sudden decision made on a whim.

Could the human race have foreseen this and arranged for two Nascent Soul cultivators to ambush them in advance?

Otherwise, having three Nascent Soul cultivators guarding the point would be too much of a privilege, and other places would have to leave their city gates wide open, giving Ao Laolong and Chi Er Laozu an opportunity to seize the chance.

"what?"

Even when it reveals its true form, Fox White's appearance cannot be described as fierce; on the contrary, it possesses a rare nobility among demons.

The fox-like face furrowed as it realized that not only had it never seen the two newly arrived Nascent Soul cultivators before, but it also knew no one like them in the cultivation world.

Moreover, although his aura had reached the Nascent Soul stage, it felt very weak. Even a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't have such a shallow aura.

It resembles the framework of a Nascent Soul cultivator, but inside resides a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

"An avatar! In just a few years, could it be the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones?"

Fox White immediately sensed something was wrong and blurted out.

In a one-on-one fight, it can defeat this incarnation within ten moves, and can only bully opponents of lower realms.

Having a high level of understanding but lacking the corresponding power is also insufficient.

However, with the Giant of Light and Shadow leading the way and two Nascent Soul cultivators assisting from the side, the situation is quite different.

Judging from this situation, it is clearly a trump card used in spreading the Dharma. How can one not feel uneasy?

"Haha! I really have to thank the Fox Demon Lord for recognizing my worthless little technique as a supreme divine power of the Earth Immortal Realm... It's just a Spirit Severing Technique, please enlighten me!"

Hongfa laughed heartily, and a tremendous power surged from the giant of light and shadow, instantly amplifying the laws of heaven and earth a hundredfold.

All the illogical and disrespectful phenomena were rapidly receding, and the shattered void instantly closed up.
