Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

The True Lord of Refining Emptiness possesses innate magical power within his body and can also draw upon the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars, as well as the primordial energy of chaos; his magical power can be described as inexhaustible.

However, within the corrupted Dongyang Realm, there was no sun, moon, or starlight, nor any spiritual energy. Lingqiu dared not draw upon the power of the Dongyang Realm and could only rely on herself. Furthermore, after slaying more than a dozen monsters at the Refinement Realm in three consecutive days, Lingqiu could no longer hold on.

She not only had to guard against the rampant pollution of these monsters, but also protect the Pure Land human race behind her, and be wary of possible sneak attacks and hidden arrows. Surrounded by enemies, Lingqiu was already exhausted.

Even so, the battle lines continued to retreat, with large numbers of cultivators becoming corrupted and twisted into enemies due to fear or being tainted by the filth of blood. The erosion of the corrupt earth was also ubiquitous, having already eroded a significant portion of the pure land.

Looking at the surging monsters before her, at the writhing mountains of flesh and blood in the distance, and at the headless birds with sticky wings and drooling fins hovering over the corrupt land, even though they were far away, the stench of those birds seemed to linger around Ling Qiu.

Ling Qiu had slain those headless birds and those fleshy mountains, each one a formidable opponent. The fleshy mountains were incredibly tough and resilient. Though slow in movement, they could instantly transform into a corrupting wasteland and pollute vast swathes of the pure land once they got close. Moreover, their immense strength seemed to be connected to the corrupting earth, making them impossible to repel. The only option was to kill them, but once killed, they would corrupt the world.

As for the birds, they are the source of pollution. Their cries are dry and hoarse, disturbing people's minds and minds. Many cultivators are unknowingly corrupted by the cries of these strange birds. When their wings flap, the putrid liquid and slime dripping from their wings and bodies are the source of filth that corrodes the human world. Moreover, they can distort perception. Once they are injured, the filthy blood splattered from the wound will pollute a space.

Even so, those flesh-and-blood mountains and those twisted, monstrous birds are all things that only Lingqiu can deal with!

After swallowing a pill, Lingqiu turned her head to look at the Pure Land behind her, and then at the fearful cultivators around her. She gripped her magic sword tightly, trying to stop her arm from trembling so violently: her arm was about to give way.

Before Lingqiu could even catch her breath, another urgent voice rang out: "Angels! Those monsters, those monsters are all attacking!"

Lingqiu stared wide-eyed as she saw monsters surging forth from the rotten earth like a tidal wave. A foul, filthy wind howled, and rolling, murky clouds pressed down, darkening the sky. Blood and gore rained down upon the earth. Amidst the blood and gore, the enormous, mountain-like monsters of flesh and blood gradually stopped writhing and straightened their bodies, transforming into obese, gigantic giants that let out a roar that shattered the heavens.

Then, those strange birds flew excitedly through the blood rain. As the blood rain dripped onto their feathers, more and more foul-smelling slime seeped out. Wherever they flew, that place became a source of pollution. Whoever heard their cries would bleed from all seven orifices and gradually lose their life.

The monsters are about to launch a full-scale attack!
Ling Qiu was startled. Her left hand instinctively gripped the communication jade talisman, and she was about to send a message when she put it away. Instead, a resolute look appeared on her face: "If they rush at us, then stop them!"

One of the monks cried out, "Angel, when will the Heavenly Army arrive? If they don't come soon, we won't be able to hold out!"

Lingqiu retorted angrily, "So you're just going to give up if you can't defend it?"

"Can't you see what the consequences will be if you can't hold on? Do you want your wives, children, and elderly parents to end up like that?!"

Following the direction Ling Qiu pointed, the cultivators of Dongyang Realm looked at the vast swathes of crazed humans, their bodies mangled and flesh exposed, and felt an increasing sense of despair.

"Hold on to the bitter end. If we can't hold out, there's no such thing as a quick death. Don't you understand?"

As Lingqiu spoke, she drew her sword to meet the strange birds that were swooping down with outstretched wings. Some headless birds flapped their wings and splashed foul-smelling slime, while others had three-headed birds whose bellies were torn open, emitting chaotic and ominous sounds. Still others were covered in evil eyes, their mad and disordered gazes piercing all directions, leaving all who saw them with rotting flesh and blood.

Lingqiu charged forward alone, but her mind couldn't help but recall the scene when Jiang Sheng taught her the moves and techniques.

Ling Qiu, who had just broken through to the Void Refinement Realm, was curious about Jiang Sheng's many achievements and asked, "Senior Brother, can your Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique only be used with the Three Calamities Annihilation Mana? Can't I use it without the Three Calamities Annihilation Mana?"

"Of course not."

Jiang Sheng smiled calmly: "The so-called Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique does not lie in the amount of magical power, but in the sword intent and sword heart."

"The meaning of 'intercepting the heavens' refers to the heavens extending to the forty-nine, escaping through a single line, and the 'intercepting' sword technique is about intercepting this single line of opportunity."

"It can either cut off a sliver of hope to save oneself, or it can cut off that sliver of hope to kill the enemy."

"Taking the method of breaking all laws as an example, I use the method of the Three Calamities to transform the sword energy of destruction. The power of the Three Calamities is heavy, and with my own sword intent, I can move forward without hesitation to kill the enemy in front of me."

"Your sword is too soft, but softness can overcome hardness. Have you not heard that nothing in the world is weaker than water, yet nothing can overcome it when attacking the hard and strong?"

"Softness can overcome hardness, and it can also control hardness. By using softness to control hardness, one can transform one's own will into the soaring method, and thus one can be invincible with a single sword, destroying all laws."

After saying this, Lingqiu saw Jiang Sheng use his finger as a sword, drawing the water from the sky as its edge. With a light touch, the wind and clouds of heaven and earth changed, and a sword mark appeared for ten thousand miles.
Recalling Jiang Sheng's teachings, the previously dimmed spiritual light on the magic sword burst forth with a mysterious brilliance as Ling Qiu's magical power surged. Gazing at the malevolent and monstrous bird before her, and at the hordes of flesh and blood surrounding her, Ling Qiu's eyes were filled with unwavering determination and resolve:
"Sever the Heavens!"

"Break through all laws!"

In an instant, a sword shot up, its brilliance reaching the heavens!

A dazzling sword light suddenly rose, and the magnificent sword energy shattered the void and annihilated everything!
Beneath that dazzling sword light, the monstrous bird that cried out its ominous cry turned to dust, and the colossal beast made of flesh and blood vanished into thin air. With the power of a single sword strike, the monstrous bird and the blood beast disappeared without polluting the human world, and the filth within a million miles was cleansed, restoring a clear and bright sky.

This was the first time Lingqiu had used the Heaven-Slaying Sword, yet it completely obliterated all the filth in the surrounding area. This method of erasing the laws of nature not only shocked Lingqiu herself, but also caused the Taoist in the space between reality and illusion to have his heart stop.

But then, the Taoist priest looked at Lingqiu's right arm, which was scattered in the wind, and her broken magic sword, and burst into laughter: "Hahahaha!"

"I thought she had some extraordinary skill, but it turns out she just fought to the death!"

Laughing loudly, the Taoist looked at Huang Wensheng: "I must say, the magic of your Penglai is quite interesting; you even have such a method of mutual destruction." "However, she has lost her hand, and her magic sword is shattered. Can she still perform such swordsmanship?"

"But my army is endless!"

As he spoke, the Taoist laughed loudly, waving his scalp whisk, and more twisted monsters surged out from between reality and illusion, rushing towards the last pure land of Dongyang Realm.

At this moment, in the pure land of the mortal realm, within the Dongyang Sect, countless humans stared blankly at the scene of Lingqiu's sword purifying a million miles of heaven and earth. After a moment of silence, they couldn't help but burst into a thunderous cheer.

However, the cheers lasted for less than three breaths before abruptly stopping.

More and more monsters emerged from between the illusion and reality. Lingqiu had just killed dozens of monster birds and more than a dozen mountains of flesh when hundreds of monster birds and dozens of mountains of flesh suddenly appeared.

This feeling of just discovering hope, only to have it vanish in an instant, undoubtedly brought immense despair to the beings of the Eastern Yang Realm. For a time, the beings within the Pure Land were indifferent, their hearts ashen. Even the cultivators on the front lines lost their will to resist, seemingly resigning themselves to fate.

Lingqiu couldn't help but feel despair at this moment. It wasn't that she was afraid of death; the true disciples of Penglai never feared death. She was just worried that she wouldn't be able to keep her promise to Senior Brother Lingyuan.

Looking at her right arm, which had shattered from forcibly unleashing the Heaven-Slaying Sword, Lingqiu sighed and removed the hairpin from her head with her left hand. The hairpin flashed with spiritual light and transformed into the shape of a magic sword. Lingqiu, holding the sword in her left hand, was about to unleash the Heaven-Slaying Sword again when suddenly the world went dark.

The next instant, a dazzling beam of light, thousands of feet thick, pierced through layers of void and shot straight at the mountain of flesh in front of Ling Qiu, causing it to stagger backward and fly through the air.

This scene rekindled the hope of the creatures of Dongyang Realm who had been despondent. Lingqiu excitedly turned around and saw that beneath the sky, the void rippled, and a majestic beast emerged from the void, revealing its true form amidst the surging thunder and fire from all directions.

The colossal beast, stretching for 100,000 miles, was covered with spiritual patterns and magical restrictions, its immense size and imposing presence blotting out the sky.

Above, one can see numerous palaces and pavilions, and the banners of the Judicial Heavenly Lord's Palace are flying high atop the masts.

Ling Qiu recognized the giant beast at a glance: a cave-god level magic boat built by the Eastern Heaven Daoist!
Immediately afterwards, beams of light pierced the sky and forced the mountains of flesh back again. Then, to the left and right of the ten-thousand-mile-long Dharma Ship, one after another, flying Void-level Dharma Ships of ten-thousand-mile-long size emerged from the void. On these Dharma Ships, Dao soldiers were fully armored and armed with long spears. Furthermore, banners of the Judicial Heavenly Lord's Palace hung above the Dharma Ships, fluttering fiercely in the wind.

The reinforcements from the Heavenly Lord of Justice have arrived!

At this moment, everyone inside and outside the Dongyang Sect, whether mortals or cultivators, wept with joy. The angels hadn't lied to them; the Heavenly Army had truly come to their rescue!

At this moment, a cheerful voice came from the magic boat: "Junior Sister Lingqiu, Senior Brother is not late, is he?"

Lingqiu pursed her lips, on the verge of tears: "Senior Brother Lingzhao!"

Lin Fan smiled and waved the command flag in his hand: "By the decree of the Heavenly Lord of Justice, cleanse all ghosts and demons from the Eastern Yang Realm!"

"Left and right, lay a net to seal off the corrupt land. Deploy the Fighting God Machine from the main ship, and release the Heavenly Mystery Puppets from all the magic ships. It's time to mow down the grass!"

The next instant, the belly of the 100,000-mile-long, cave-god-level magic ship burst open, and five enormous humanoid puppets, each a thousand feet tall, fell from the ship to the ground.

These five humanoid puppets were over a thousand feet tall, wielding spears and halberds, and clad in heavy armor. Their armor was covered with spiritual runes and magical restrictions. The heavily armored Fighting God Machines bent their knees and leaped into the air. Immediately afterward, dust rose and the earth shook as the five Fighting God Machines crashed down onto the corrupted land like meteors, shattering countless monsters upon landing.

Immediately afterwards, these five cold and enormous divine machines, wielding spears and halberds, began to slaughter everything around them. Whether it was the massive, mountain-like mountains of flesh or the countless twisted creatures on the ground, they were all reduced to minced meat under the spears and halberds engraved with the laws and prohibitions against evil.

The strange bird that cried out in the sky tried to pounce, but two beams of mysterious light burst forth from the armor on Shenji's head, piercing straight through the bird that was flying towards them.

In an instant, foul-smelling, putrid liquid splattered in the sky, and severed limbs and remains flew everywhere on the ground. The five Fighting God Machines used brutal and savage methods to annihilate all the monsters within the range of the perception array.

Immediately, one after another, magic ships rushed into the corrupted land, their cannons bursting forth with brilliant light. One after another, three-zhang-tall celestial puppets landed and quickly formed military formations, sweeping away everything in sight with a rain of arrows that blotted out the sky.

Five nets of heaven and earth have been erected, their golden light crisscrossing and obscuring the sky and earth. Within the golden light, majestic heavenly might and layers of magical restrictions seal off the four directions, suppressing evil spirits. The fighting divine machine rampages wildly, while the heavenly puppets advance in formation.

The moment the Heavenly Court of Justice made its move, it gave the beings of the Eastern Yang Realm an immense shock. How could the Heavenly Court possibly rule the Three Realms and the Eight Directions, and how could it so remotely intimidate all the heavens and myriad realms? This was evident from the Heavenly Army of the Heavenly Court of Justice, from the five enormous Fighting Divine Machines and the tens of thousands of Heavenly Mystery Puppets.

The beings of Dongyang Realm gazed in awe at the towering, sky-obscuring ships and the high-hanging banners of the Heavenly Ruler of Justice.

On the corrupted earth, the twisted monsters retreated in disarray, their forces routed. Between reality and illusion, the Taoist sat atop a lotus platform of flesh and blood, his expression twisted with madness: "How is this possible?!"

"Damn the Heavenly Court, damn Penglai Spirit Abyss!"

However, just as the Taoist was trying to vent his anger, a cold and indifferent voice suddenly rang in his ear:

"Ah, I've found you!" (End of Chapter)
