Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

boom!
Flames soared into the sky, and a fiery dragon roared as it soared through the air, revealing its majestic form that stretched for thousands of miles, amidst thunder and fire.

The dragon's scales and claws were outstretched, and its eyes shone brightly, clearly indicating that it possessed magical powers. Without Li Jianchun's control, the dragon could kill enemies on its own and protect the safety of the magic boat.

Li Jianchun used his hands to perform a series of hand gestures, summoning heavenly lightning. As the thunderclouds gathered and surged, a thunderclap resounded, and the surging demonic energy in the abyss was momentarily halted.

"Shangqing Xuanlei Technique, Five Thunderbolts!"

With a furious roar, five colors—blue, red, white, black, and yellow—flashed in succession amidst the thunderclouds, followed by a deafening crash of five-colored lightning that blasted countless demons into dust.

At the same time, Ye Qian wielded a knife in his right hand and held a bell in his left. With a shake of the golden bell, the clear sound of the bell triggered sound waves that invisibly crushed thousands of demons. Meanwhile, flames rose from the knife in his right hand, and with wisps of crimson flames swirling around it, Ye Qian cleaved out a thousand miles of demonic energy, cleansing the demons within.

However, even though Li Jianchun and Ye Qian were doing their best, more and more high-level demons emerged from among the demons. One after another, demons at the Nascent Soul Realm and even the Divine Transformation Realm rushed out, surrounding Li Jianchun and Ye Qian from all directions, trying to tear them apart.

It was as if the demon king in this abyss had recognized Li Jianchun and Ye Qian's extraordinary abilities and was unwilling to let them continue their display.

As the number of demons increased, the mighty Flame Dragon gradually lost its flames and lightning, then let out a mournful cry of resentment and dissipated. Ye Qian's longsword also lost its spiritual light and its blade was no longer as sharp as before.

The spiritual energy shields on the two magic boats have cracked, and the Penglai disciples inside are struggling to survive. Li Jianchun and Ye Qian can now be said to be at their wits' end.

Meanwhile, the Dharma boat carrying Tian Ming'an and Qiu Buyu was still unable to reach the location of Li Jianchun and Ye Qian.

As the ten-thousand-mile-long Flying Void Realm continued to advance, the scale of the demonic tide blocking Tian Ming'an and Qiu Buyu grew larger and larger, gradually surrounding the Flying Void Realm with demons at the Golden Core Realm, Nascent Soul Realm, and Divine Transformation Realm!

Even demons nearing the Void Refinement Realm could be seen appearing and disappearing amidst the ferocious demonic tide.

Qiu Buyu's expression was solemn as he continuously directed the magic ship to counterattack. Cannons, siege weapons, and magic-breaking crossbows fired incessantly, unleashing a barrage of supernatural powers and spells. The ten-thousand-mile-long Flying Void-class magic ship, with its full firepower, was like a ferocious beast traversing the void. Its all-encompassing spiritual energy shield and dense array of attacks were enough to make any being below the Upper Three Realms shudder.

Anyone with a modicum of wisdom would not choose to use numbers to directly confront a Flying Void-level magic ship.

However, demons lack intelligence, seemingly because of their incredibly powerful bodies and various strange supernatural abilities; their minds are almost nonexistent.

Therefore, these fearless demons can be manipulated by the Demon King to swarm and die, sacrificing their own lives to deplete the spiritual power of the Flying Void-level magic ship.

Qiu Buyu's expression grew increasingly solemn: "Ming'an, if we let these demons drag on like this, Jian Chun and Ye Qian will probably be reduced to ashes before we even make it here."

"Use the talisman bestowed by your master."

Although Tian Ming'an appeared calm, his hands, hidden in his sleeves, were clenched into tight fists, turning them almost white. He realized that these demons were deliberately sent up to wear him down, forcing him to use his trump cards.

Demons are mindless, but each demon king is more cunning than the last. Although they don't know what Tian Ming'an and Qiu Buyu are doing deep into the demon tide, they are determined to stop the enemy from doing what they are doing and will not let Tian Ming'an and Qiu Buyu pass through easily.

Tian Ming'an knew that even if he used his methods to eliminate these demons now, new demons would soon flood in.

But if they don't use it now, then Li Jianchun and Ye Qian might not be able to hold out until they arrive.

"call"

Exhaling slowly, Tian Ming'an said in a deep voice, "That's all we can do."

After saying that, Tian Ming'an took out a green talisman from his pocket. The talisman, which was no bigger than a palm, was placed in Tian Ming'an's hand and sensed his aura. Immediately, an indescribable aura spread out.

In an instant, it was as if the autumn wind was bleak and the ground was frozen. Demons within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles felt fear at the same moment, and several demons who were close to the Void Refinement level began to flee like madmen in the demon tide.

At their level, their intelligence is no less than that of ordinary people; they can sense that a world-destroying power is being conceived.

The next moment, the blue talisman in Tian Ming'an's hand slowly shattered, and a phantom emerged from the broken talisman. Instantly, the wind and thunder of the heavens and earth surged and water and fire raged. The violent wind, thunder, water and fire caused the celestial phenomena to change, and the Heavenly Abyss also surged and shattered.

The illusory figure seemed to possess a spirit, glancing at Tian Ming'an and Qiu Buyu below.

Tian Ming'an bowed and said, "Please, Master, exorcise the demon!"

That illusory image was clearly a projection of Jiang Sheng's imprint.

As Tian Ming'an said, Penglai is extremely protective of its own, and Jiang Sheng is no exception.

At this moment, Jiang Sheng's illusory image materialized, and then he raised his hand and grasped it. Wind, thunder, water, and fire descended from the sky, transforming into four long swords that hung around the illusory image. The demons in the beast tide also sensed fear at this moment, but the surrounding void had already been frozen.

In an instant, the four swords pierced through the air and shattered the void.

A moment later, the world was in chaos, and the demons disappeared without a trace. The demon king hiding in the abyss fled frantically into the depths of the abyss. In the instant that phantom was formed, the demon king sensed fear from the source.

Just as livestock encounter lions, tigers, and birds of prey, just as spirits face a vast thunder tribulation, it is an innate fear, a deep-seated dread of natural enemies, an inescapable crisis that can be easily and irrevocably annihilated or even destroyed forever.

So the Demon King fled without hesitation, running away cleanly and efficiently, but the phantom was unwilling to let it go.

After the four swords dissipated, Jiang Sheng's phantom continued to collapse and shrink, eventually transforming into a three-foot-six-and-a-half-inch longsword. The longsword was entirely black, covered with a blue lotus, and its sword pavilion was divided into four symbols to embody yin and yang, elegant and simple.

However, Tian Ming'an and Qiu Buyu recognized it as their master Jiang Sheng's sword, which was also his natal sword.

"Taiyi Qingping Sword!"

Qiu Buyu was somewhat astonished; she never expected that Tian Ming'an's personal talisman would undergo such a change.

In an instant, the Qingping Sword projection locked onto the aura of the demon king in the Heavenly Abyss, then transformed into a fleeting glimpse of a swan and disappeared into the Heavenly Abyss, causing the turbid and foul air within the Heavenly Abyss to surge endlessly.

Meanwhile, the demon king in the abyss also sensed a terrifying crisis. In this life-or-death situation, it kept manipulating demons to gather around and protect it from the unknown danger.

But in just three breaths, tens of millions of demons were pierced by the sword light, which penetrated 30 million miles into the abyss, tearing apart 30 million miles of demonic energy before finally striking the Demon King.

In an instant, the power of Yin and Yang triggered the final calamity and the power of the Great Dao, which annihilated it completely.

Even after its fall, the sword mark that pierced through the 30 million li Tianyuan remained solid and unyielding, unaffected by the corrosive and filthy air, as if the light of heaven had pierced through the 30 million li of gloom, causing countless demon kings in the Tianyuan to feel uneasy.

As the demonic tide dissipated, Tian Ming'an and Qiu Buyu immediately ordered the magic boat to move forward at high speed. At this time, Li Jianchun and Ye Qian were also at their limit.

Thousands upon thousands of demons surrounded Li Jianchun and Ye Qian. The two magic boats were already shattered, and all the remaining Penglai disciples were either covered in wounds, missing limbs, or exhausted of magic power. Li Jianchun and Ye Qian struggled to protect everyone, staring intently at the demons that were closing in.

A mocking voice rang out among the demons, sometimes to the south, sometimes to the north, impossible to find.

"You two are ruthless and possess extraordinary abilities."

"He must be an extraordinary person."

"Unfortunately, your magical powers are ultimately limited, while my demonic tide is endless."

"I am very pleased to have been able to kill two human prodigies and sever two future immortals and gods here." "You will die here. I will keep your heads safe and use them as spoils of war."

The demon king's voice kept trying to corrupt Li Jianchun and Ye Qian's Dao hearts. At the same time, he was extremely cautious, refusing to show himself even when Li Jianchun and Ye Qian were at their last gasp, for fear that the two might have some means to take him down with them.

The supernatural abilities of the True Monarchs of the Upper Three Realms of Penglai Dao Sect are endless. Over the past hundred years, the Demon Kings have experienced countless Penglai techniques and are now extremely wary of them.

Ye Qian looked at Li Jianchun: "Brother Li, do you still have any trump cards up your sleeve?"

Li Jianchun said with a wry smile, "That's it. I've used up all the talismans my master gave me. There's really no other way now."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qian laughed heartily: "I'm out of options too. Since that's the case, why don't we bravely face our deaths?"

"When I die here, my master will surely burn this area for hundreds of millions of miles to accompany me in death, and my name will be enshrined in the Penglai True Inheritance Hall, where it will be worshipped by the sect's descendants. Who knows, after a thousand or a hundred years, I may be reincarnated and return to Penglai."

I'll go first!

After saying that, Ye Qian was about to burn his primordial spirit and self-destruct.

Li Jianchun also burst into laughter. Looking at the countless demons around him, Li Jianchun suddenly thought of something: "Ye Qian! Don't be in such a hurry to die!"

"I have one last trick up my sleeve, but I've never used it."

Ye Qian couldn't help but curse, "Use whatever means you have! At this point, even being devoured by supernatural powers is better than being bitten by ten thousand demons!"

Li Jianchun grinned upon hearing this: "Alright, you hold off these demons for me for half a quarter of an hour, just half a quarter!"

Ye Qian looked at the longsword in his hand, its spiritual light dimmed, and took a deep breath: "It's just risking my life. I'm willing to give up my life for you. What's a little bit of stopping you for half a moment?"

With that, Ye Qian roared, "Everyone who can move, come over here quickly and hold on for another quarter of an hour!"

At the same time, Li Jianchun slowly exhaled, and with his fingers forming a sword, he cut open his left wrist. Drops of blood flowed out, but Li Jianchun used the blood as ink to draw talismans in mid-air.

The demon king, who was hiding, realized that something was wrong. It would never allow Li Jianchun to do as he pleased. Regardless of whether Li Jianchun succeeded or not, using blood as ink was clearly a desperate measure. Heaven knows what kind of supernatural power Li Jianchun would use.

Instantly, the thousands of demons roared and surged toward Li Jianchun. Their only goal at this moment was to kill the Taoist who drew the talisman!

Li Jianchun, however, ignored the brutal battlefield outside and the clash of swords, immersing himself entirely in drawing talismans. Jiang Sheng's voice rang in his ears.

"The way of talismans is to observe the traces of heaven and earth, to depict the path of the Great Dao, and to imitate the changes of the laws of nature."

"Whether it is the Five Elements Talisman, the Three Wonders Talisman, or the Yin-Yang Talisman, they all follow the same principle."

"What I teach you is the true meaning I have gained from observing the destruction of heaven and earth and comprehending the mysteries of chaos over the past fifteen hundred years. It is also the key to my true method of Yin-Yang Calamity Extinction Three Transformations Five Elements, which is the True Talisman of Calamity Extinction Three Evolutions."

“The talisman can manifest the three calamities of emptiness, transform disasters and destruction, penetrate the changes of wind, thunder and fire, and condense the true essence of the final calamity and the final destiny.”

"If you are in a life-or-death crisis, use your own blood and qi as ink to draw this talisman, and it will have a miraculous effect!"

Jiang Sheng's gentle voice echoed in Li Jianchun's mind like a babbling brook. Li Jianchun gritted his teeth and continued to draw with blood ink. As the spiritual traces connected, the talisman gradually took shape.

The demon king could no longer contain himself. He watched as Ye Qian's remnants formed a defensive formation that was as fragile as a city wall made of fallen leaves and withered branches, yet his demons could not break through it.

So the Demon King decided to personally intervene, since demons don't care about saving face anyway.

However, just as the Demon King was about to make his move, something seemed to happen in the darkness.

It seemed like a gentle breeze, a sudden rumble of thunder, flickering flames, and the murmuring of flowing water.

Wind and thunder,

Water and fire

The transformations of the Four Symbols are like the intermingling of Yin and Yang, perfectly integrated and unified, achieving true harmony.

For a moment, the void seemed to freeze, and the talismans drawn by Li Jianchun became increasingly clear. Unconsciously, Li Jianchun murmured aloud:

"The Jade Emperor descends upon the Three Realms, and purple smoke rises from the Nine Pure Ones."

"The Crimson Calamity Method inherits the wondrous fruits of the Three Calamities and Five Calamities of the Kaihuang Era."

"Jade patterns and golden seal script reveal more than 1,600 true words."

"By mastering the Five Thunders, one understands the pivotal mechanism of Yin and Yang; by following the Four Symbols, one elucidates the return of chaos to oneness."

As Li Jianchun continued to murmur, wind, thunder, water, and fire began to surge and churn, and the power of yin and yang also flowed endlessly.

With the final stroke, the blood talisman was fully formed. In the vast sea and sky, something seemed to cast a glance, and in the ethereal moment, a ray of light slowly descended from the sky.

Under the astonished gaze of the Demon King, Li Jianchun, who had previously appeared weak, laughable, and like an ant to be toyed with, underwent a change in temperament.

It becomes ethereal and tangible, and yin and yang become one.

Ye Qian stared blankly at Li Jianchun, never expecting that Li Jianchun had such a trump card.

At this moment, "Li Jianchun" slowly raised his head, his eyes shining with azure-gold light. He raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and wind, thunder, water, and fire gathered together, transforming into a sword of the four elements. In the next instant, with the blessing of yin and yang power, a blue lotus bloomed on the sword of the four elements.

At the same time, Li Jianchun's vital energy level continued to rise.

Transformation of spirit, Dharma form, Yin deficiency, Yang excess.
Early stage of Void Refinement, Middle stage of Void Refinement, Late stage of Void Refinement, Ultimate stage of Void Refinement!
Finally, Li Jianchun's aura stopped at the extreme of the Void Refining Realm, but the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Sword with the blooming blue lotus in Li Jianchun's hand faintly revealed a sharp sword mechanism that was enough to annihilate the combined demon.

"You you you"

The Demon King stared in horror at "Li Jianchun" in front of him. He couldn't understand how Li Jianchun, who was clearly using supernatural powers, could suddenly become a different person with such a deep and terrifying aura.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, the Demon King's fear and terror overwhelmed him like a tidal wave, unleashing a power that shook the heavens and earth: "Playing tricks, die!"

With a roar, boundless turbid and foul air transformed into a ferocious demonic serpent stretching for ten thousand miles, hissing and twisting its body with bone spikes as it lunged at "Li Jianchun".

In an instant, demonic energy surged to the heavens. A 100,000-mile-long demonic serpent, carrying billowing turbid and foul air, resembled a demon god resurrected from the abyss, ready to destroy the world. However, "Li Jianchun" remained calm and composed. Under Ye Qian's astonished gaze, "Li Jianchun" raised his hand and held up his sword. Wind and thunder swirled, water and fire condensed, and in an instant, the vast Three Calamities gathered on the longsword, with the breath of the final calamity swirling around and transforming into sword energy.

But then Li Jianchun spoke:
"Severing Heaven, Cutting Off Time." (End of Chapter)
