I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 660 Battle Against Monsters

A terrifying aura swept over, similar to the Fallen Immortal Jiang Wen had encountered in the Fallen Immortal Land. However, compared to that giant spirit god, this aura, while powerful, also had a more chaotic, yin energy.

Whether fallen immortals or corpses, they are all strange and unsettling things. They are neither within Yin and Yang nor within the Five Elements, and cannot be described as evil spirits or demons.

This suddenly appearing object was imbued with a hint of yin energy and deathly aura. It was obscure and difficult to discern, seemingly existing between life and death.

"What is that?" Jiang Wen looked at that corner in the distance, quite puzzled.

Looking ahead, the crystalline threads transformed into a cocoon, tightly enveloping Jiang Su, as if she were about to transform from a pupa into a butterfly. Jiang Wen knew that she was recreating her physical body, but how long it would take was still unknown.

Waves of spiritual energy erupted from the cocoon, causing the entire island to tremble. Even the Fallen Immortal Lake was no exception; the surging waves gathered into massive surges that swept towards the island.

Before long, several more strange auras appeared in Jiang Wen's consciousness.

As the cocoon forms, these malicious energies will only increase.

"The metamorphosis from cocoon to butterfly is a process of life's rebirth. Perhaps that's why these slumbering monsters have come back to life. They are all dead, and who wouldn't want to be reborn?" Jiang Wen silently looked at those corners, knowing this was inevitable.

Life has never been accepted by this world.

In any case, this can be considered a tribulation for Jiang Su in forging his physical body. Just as a silkworm must break free of its cocoon to become a butterfly, if it cannot emerge, it will only face death.

With this in mind, Jiang Wen decided to stop holding back. These strange creatures were all difficult to deal with, and he needed to be on his guard.

The Four Symbols Sword Formation manifests in countless forms, with four beams of sword light protecting the entire cliff.

Jiang Wen summoned the Heavenly Strike Sword and stepped out of the Four Symbols Sword Formation.

He looked at the black mist rising from the corner of the island, his mind as calm as a still mirror.

"Let me see what you're capable of!"

Holding the Heavenly Sword, he stood still and observed when a dark figure suddenly darted out from the black mist in the distance.

The creature was as black as charcoal, with three heads and six arms, each wielding a rusty longsword, leaving deep furrows in its wake. It was incredibly fast, transforming into a black streak as it hurtled straight at Jiang Wen's face.

Jiang Wen remained unmoved, and his Heavenly Strike Sword transformed into a dazzling bolt of lightning to meet the attack.

The sword's blade gleamed with lightning patterns, colliding with the six longswords to create a piercing metallic clang.

The corpse was indeed unfazed by the thunder, its blade becoming increasingly ferocious. With its six arms waving, the blade energy crisscrossed, slicing the surrounding rocks into pieces.

"Edict!"

Jiang Wen pointed his finger, and dozens of talismans flew out from his sleeve.

The immobilization talisman transformed into golden chains that bound the corpse's limbs, while the fire-igniting talisman, though unable to harm its core, did cause it to momentarily stun its movements.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, the Tai Xuan Mirror rose into the air, its surface casting a hazy light that shone upon the corpse.

With a hissing sound, the black mist on the corpse melted away like ice and snow.

It let out a mournful roar, its six arms struggling but unable to escape the mirror's binding light.

Jiang Wen seized the opportunity, and the lightning of the Heavenly Strike Sword surged to its maximum. With a move called "Purple Lightning Piercing the Clouds," he pierced straight into the corpse's heart. The sword tip passed through the body, and the corpse shuddered violently. The three heads simultaneously let out a final wail before turning into ashes and dissipating.

"In the end, it's just a mindless thing," Jiang Wen thought to himself.

Although this ferocious creature was powerful, it was no match for him. A mere exchange of magical attacks would be enough to kill it.

Before I could even catch my breath, the earth suddenly shook.

A two-headed giant, five zhang tall, came crashing through the mountain rocks, its body flowing with viscous black water.

Its every step caused the earth to shake, its two heads and four eyes were blood red, and its punch had the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.

Upon seeing Jiang Wen, it roared to the sky. Black water shot out, corroding all the vegetation on the island. Seeing this, Jiang Wen did not wait any longer, and flew away on his sword. When the Heavenly Strike Sword struck the giant, it only sparked a few tiny sparks.

Holding a talisman, he chanted an incantation.

The fire dragons and water arrows formed from the talismans struck his body, but were all swallowed up by the black water.

The giant clapped his hands together, nearly striking Jiang Wen with his powerful aura. He hastily activated the Tai Xuan Mirror, and its light transformed into three golden rings that encircled the giant's neck and waist. However, as the black water churned, the golden rings began to loosen.

"The two polarities rotate, Yin and Yang give birth!" Jiang Wen bit his fingertip and used his blood essence to draw a Tai Chi diagram in the void. Seventy-two talismans responded and separated the two positions of Heaven and Earth, transforming into a golden Yin-Yang array that enveloped the giant.

The yin and yang energies within the formation rotated slowly like a millstone, eroding the black liquid on the giant's body.

The giant was in great discomfort as the black water hissed away.

This black water is not as potent as the divine blood; though it possesses corrosive power, it is ultimately not considered refined. However, if the Baixi tribe were to deal with it, it would be quite a challenge. Jiang Wen had observed the Baixi people's battles, and they all relied on gathering their bloodline strength, exhibiting a kind of brute force capable of overcoming all obstacles.

Unfortunately, this path is beyond the reach of the Baixi people; they have only scratched the surface of it. Facing this giant, they will surely be affected by the black water.

Unable to escape the formation, the giant painfully swung his fists in all directions. His fists, like meteorites, smashed huge craters into the ground.

The shockwave swept through, blowing away vegetation within a ten-mile radius.

The force was so great that Jiang Wen dared not meet it head-on. Even when he used his Heavenly Strike Sword to counter it, he could feel the power contained within.

Even the sharpest sword could not pierce the giant's flesh.

Frowning, he searched for a flaw, circling the giant from all sides. Looking closely at the giant, he saw countless black wisps moving through the black water beneath its shattered flesh.

Faintly, Jiang Wen seemed to hear cries of agony. It was the wailing of countless living beings, the torment of ghosts.

Having understood the truth about the giant, he naturally had ways to deal with him.

Jiang Wen sat cross-legged in mid-air, his hands forming the Rebirth Mudra, and chanted aloud: "Savior from Suffering, you pervade the ten directions, and with your divine power, you always save all sentient beings..."

The golden runes from the Rebirth Sutra were inserted into the giant's brow, and the originally raging giant gradually calmed down. The blood color in its two heads and four eyes faded, and the black water on its body receded like a tide.

After the last verse was recited, the giant's enormous body transformed into specks of light, which dissipated into the world with the wind.

After these two battles, Jiang Wen felt incredibly exhilarated, a feeling he hadn't experienced in many days.

Standing before the cliff, he gazed at the other strange creatures lurking in the darkness. The Heavenly Sword emitted a clear, resonant sword cry, as if in response to the impending fierce battle.

Thunder roared and the might of heaven howled.

The convergence of wind, water, fire, and earth on the island has caused all sorts of strange phenomena.

Every now and then, hoarse screams could be heard, and the sky-covering black mist was pierced by lightning.

When the ninety-ninth corpse lay at his feet, even though Jiang Wen's spiritual energy was still surging, he couldn't help but feel a bit tired.

The island was filled with seemingly endless corpses, each with its own unique abilities.

Many of them appeared to be members of the Baixi tribe, but it was unclear why they were there.

In his spare time, Jiang Wen also pondered this. Could it be that those Baixi people who fell into the sacred land eventually sank into this Fallen Immortal Lake? Otherwise, it would be difficult to see such a scene.

However, he had killed as many as three or four Rock People and Dragon People. Each of them possessed extraordinary abilities and unique supernatural powers. Some of them even posed a challenge to Jiang Wen, who had to subdue them with his God-Slaying Whip.

As he stepped on the hundredth corpse, a crisp cracking sound rang in his ears.

Jiang Wen turned to look at the huge cocoon on the cliff, a smile appearing on his face.

"It's finally done!"
