After the Skyfall

Chapter 438: Ten Directions Absolute Spirit Formation

It turns out that the goddess mentioned by Xuan Yuezi and Xiang Xiangzi is the woman locked in the birdcage. Considering that the Tiandao Sect encountered great changes some time ago, many disciples disappeared, and even the whereabouts of the goddess was unknown, it seems that the goddess is no match for the Tianyi Sect and fell into its hands. If Li Yi had not appeared, the Tiandao Sect would have been extinct by now, and would not have had even the slightest chance of turning things around.

"Taiyi, we must rescue the goddess. The goddess holds the Tiandao Sect's inherited Taoist artifact, the Tiandao Diagram. If she falls into the Tianyi Sect, the consequences will be disastrous. If she really cannot be rescued, please Taiyi kill the goddess to avoid humiliation in the future." Xiang Xiangzi said through magical power.

"If you can't save him, just kill him. I'll try my best." Li Yi replied.

Tianjizi said at this moment: "Taiyi, you will make a profit by exchanging my junior brother for the goddess Yun Feizi of your Tiandao Sect. Yun Feizi is the one who carries the inheritance of the sect. If you bring her back, your Tiandao Sect will not be cut off, and there may be a chance for you to make a comeback in the future."

"Where are the other disciples of Tiandao Sect?" Li Yi asked.

Tianjizi said, "One life for another, Fellow Daoist Taiyi, you don't have enough chips in your hand, so you can only exchange this much. If you dare to kill my junior brother, I don't mind sending your Tiandao Sect's goddess to the underworld to accompany my junior brother."

Li Yi's eyes moved slightly. He knew very well that once he lost the hostage, the other party would definitely kill him and there would be no possibility of negotiation. However, looking at the current situation, it was not very realistic to resolve the matter through negotiation. The other party thought they had the upper hand and were unwilling to give up the good situation because of a few words.

Sure enough, a fight was inevitable.

But it is true that practitioners must ultimately speak with strength. Without equal strength, nothing you say will be of any use.

He glanced at the two fairies Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi behind him. They had firm eyes at the moment and had obviously recovered a lot of their magic power and realm. They were ready for a hard fight. If they didn't have the determination to die, how could they dare to come to the imperial court.

After a brief thought, Li Yi immediately said: "Okay, one life for another, I will use Tianjiangzi to exchange for the goddess of Tiandao Sect."

"That's right. To show my sincerity, I will send the goddess of your Tiandao Sect back first. It won't be too late to return her to my junior brother after fellow Taoist Taiyi confirms that everything is correct." Upon seeing this, Tianjizi shook his hand, and the birdcage in his hand grew in the wind and turned into an iron cage about ten feet long that fell on the auspicious clouds in front of Li Yi.

Li Yi looked at the woman in the iron cage, and then at Tianjizi, but he never thought that this old Taoist was so upright. Or was there some calculation behind this?
But now that things have come to this, there is no choice but to rely on strength.

next moment.

Xuan Yuezi grabbed the birdcage in mid-air and used his magic power to crush it, then he rolled up the goddess in the cage and brought her back to his side, then hurriedly checked the situation.

"Taiyi, the goddess is fine, she just exhausted her magic power and was seriously injured and unconscious." She breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Tianyi Sect did not torture the goddess.

Li Yi nodded when he heard that, and then used his magic power to roll up Tianjiangzi and threw it out.

Tianjizi also took it immediately, checked the situation, and his old face moved slightly: "Such a strong heart fire, it has burned all five internal organs, is it the wind calling method of Daoqi Sect? But you were defeated by Taiyi of Tiandao Sect and the two fairies together, so it's not unfair. Don't worry now, I will help you heal your injuries later, at most it will cost some foundation."

"Junior brother, I am incompetent and have caused trouble for you." Tian Jiangzi said ashamedly, "Brother, be careful of Taiyi. This person has achieved enlightenment in the last stage of the Dharma, which is unprecedented in ancient and modern times. Moreover, he has twelve Heart Fire Qis when he first entered the first level of the Five Qi Realm. His magic power is extremely powerful."

Twelve energies of heart fire?
Tianjizi's face jumped when he heard this, and he was full of fear when he looked at Li Yi again. If these words had not come from his junior brother, he would never have believed that there was such an outrageous thing in the world. But soon this fear turned into a sneer: "It doesn't matter. In the Dharma Ending Age, no matter how talented he is, he will have to suffer today. Junior brother, you should have a good rest and wait for me to avenge you."

As he spoke, he waved his Taoist robe and a ray of golden light sent the injured Tianjiangzi away. Immediately, several Taoists on the ground came to meet him.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, since the matter between the goddess and my junior fellow Daoist brother has been resolved, let's continue with the previous topic and talk about the matter between our two sects. I am old and my life span is short. I can't stand the tossing and turning. I only hope that I can see the Tianyi Sect in charge of the Dao Court, rule the four directions, and pass on the tradition for thousands of generations, so that I can survive the end of the Dharma and prosper again in the future."

At this moment, Tianjizi's eyes showed murderous intent again: "But there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. I can't afford to gamble on such a big thing, so today I invite Taoist Taiyi, the two fairies of Tiandao Sect and the goddess Yun Feizi to go to the underworld together. I believe that with the goddess and the fairy accompanying you, Taoist Taiyi will not have lived in vain."

"It doesn't matter. My life is here. If you have the ability, you can come and take it. But if the imperial court is destroyed in today's battle, you can't blame me."

Li Yi said calmly. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the old Taoist's behavior.

After all, people's hearts are unpredictable.

The grudge between the two sects is so deep that it cannot be settled with just a few words. Only after a fight can this matter have a conclusion.

"It doesn't matter. If Taoist Taiyi can really bring down the imperial court, I, the old Taoist Tianyi Sect, will also accept it." After Tianjizi finished speaking, he looked at Li Yi and sighed quietly: "I have been practicing Taoism for more than 300 years. You are the most amazing practitioner I have ever seen. If you were from Tianyi Sect, it would be great. In the future, you would definitely inherit the Taoist tradition and rule the dynasty. Now you have to be buried here. It's a pity."

"Tianjizi, don't say more. Since you want to fight, this fairy will fight with you to the end. You have killed so many of my sisters and taken so many lives, yet you are still pretending here. It's really disgusting. Today I want nothing else but revenge." At this moment, Xiang Xiangzi raised her beautiful eyes, full of murderous intent, her long hair flying, like a female devil descended to the world. Her magic power was released, and a ray of ultimate brilliance appeared on her fingers.

"Smash your imperial city into pieces and turn the land into a river."

Xiang Xiangzi gave a delicate shout, and the magic was reversed, and the brilliant light turned into black light in an instant.

The water is black. This is because she has mobilized the water energy in her chest, wanting to gather the water from heaven and earth and cut out a vast river. It would destroy the imperial city and flood all directions at the same time, changing the feng shui and topography of this place, making it no longer suitable for building a city or establishing a sect.

Taoism is dead, but people are alive. Under the operation of the Five Elements, the same Taoist technique can produce many completely different effects, just like Li Yi's technique of calling the wind. He can spit out the anger in his heart, and the strong wind can turn it into fire. The bald Taoist can also spit out the foul air in his body and pollute the seven orifices of the human body. All these wonderful uses require Taoist masters to comprehend, so that they can adapt to local conditions and defeat the enemy.

"The fairy lady is still as ruthless as ever." Tianjizi's old face was moved at this moment. He didn't care about anything else at this moment, and suddenly shouted: "My fellow disciples, set up the Ten Directions Absolute Spirit Formation. Today's battle is of great importance, and you must not hold back."

"As expected, we still have to fight. In that case, let's decide the outcome in one battle. Rise up the Ten Directions Soul-Extinguishing Array!" As the Taoists shouted and magic power surged, ten pillars of light shot up into the sky in the entire Imperial Court City. The pillars of light used the Tianyi Palace as the center of the formation, controlling the heaven and earth and blocking the ten directions. In just a blink of an eye, the formation had turned into a layer of light curtain, shrouding the sky and covering the earth.

next moment.

The Great Law of Turning Rivers into Land attacked, but it suddenly collapsed before it hit Tianjizi's eyes. Not only that, Xiang Xiangzi's body softened, and a feeling of powerlessness surged into her heart. At the same time, the magic power in her body was lost at an alarming rate, and she couldn't even close the five qi in her chest intentionally.

"What, what happened?" Xiang Xiangzi's face suddenly changed.

"Hurry, hurry up. Leave the imperial court quickly. This is a trap. Xiang Xiangzi, Xuan Yuezi, don't risk your lives for me."

At this time, the goddess Yun Feizi beside Xuan Yuezi woke up. After seeing the few people, she immediately urged them anxiously.

“It’s too late to leave now. The Imperial Court is both a city and a formation. It’s easy to enter the Imperial Court, but difficult to leave. Under the Ten Directions Absolute Spirit Formation, all your magical powers will be deprived of all, and you will become complete mortals.” The old Taoist Tianjizi truly exposed his sinister intentions at this moment.

Fighting?

does not exist at all.

They did not want the Imperial Court to be destroyed, so they had long ago comprehended the formation and combined it with the characteristics of the Dharma Ending Age to create the Ten Directions Absolute Spirit Formation in order to restrain the cultivators of the world. However, this formation was extremely overbearing. Once it was set in motion, all the cultivators of the entire Imperial Court would be affected, and even their own magic power would be deprived.

But it doesn’t matter.

Even if they have no magic power, there are countless soldiers in the imperial court who can easily kill these people from the Tiandao Sect.

Along with the formation, all the magic power in everyone's body rushed towards Tianyi Palace frantically. After Tianyi Palace obtained this magic power, it continued to operate the Ten Directions Absolute Spirit Formation until all the magic power of everyone in the entire imperial city was drained.

Therefore, this formation is only aimed at those who practice Taoism and have magical powers, and not at ordinary people at all. Ordinary people living in the imperial city don’t even feel the slightest bit of it, and everything is the same as usual.

Tianjizi also quickly made preparations. He held on to the last bit of his magic power and descended from the sky. Together with several of his fellow apprentices, he retreated back to the front of Tianyi Palace. While staying away from the enemy, he gave orders. Suddenly, teams of soldiers holding spears and wearing armor came out from all directions. In just a moment, they surrounded the entire Tianyi Palace.

During this period, Li Yi, Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi were deprived of all their magical powers. The realm they had finally recovered dropped again. Even Teng Yun couldn't keep his balance and almost fell to his death from mid-air. In the end, they had no choice but to hold on for a breath and land quickly.

"The magic power is gone." Xuan Yuezi's face turned pale, and a feeling of uneasiness and despair instantly surged into his heart.

"The Ten Directions Soul-Destroying Formation. Damn it! The people from the Tianyi Sect are so insidious that they created such a formation. I didn't expect that these old guys would not even let me go when they get ruthless." Xiang Xiangzi gritted his teeth and was also panicked at this moment.

Without magic power, even storage tools cannot be used. Even if Taiyi has treasures like the seven-colored stone, he cannot take it out.

She looked at Xuan Yuezi, but saw that the sniper rifle was not in her hand. It was obvious that she had put it into the storage magic tool and did not carry it with her.

"Yes, it's my fault that I harmed everyone. If I could wake up earlier and remind you, maybe things could have turned around. In the previous battle, I was defeated because of this formation." At this moment, the seriously injured goddess Yun Feizi's beautiful eyes shed tears. She felt guilty and blamed herself, and wished she could die.

But her unconsciousness was deliberately caused by Tianjizi, so how could she have been sent to inform Li Yi and others?

Xiang Xiangzi saw this and made up his mind. He said, "Any of us can die, but Taiyi cannot. He has cultivated twelve Heart Fire Qis in the Dharma Ending Age, which is unprecedented. He will definitely become a Taoist master in the future. The three of us will risk our lives to clear the way for Taiyi to rush out. He is strong and wears dragon armor, so he is not afraid of swords and guns. Those armored soldiers may not be able to stop him."

Xuan Yuezi was silent, and Concubine Yun beside her also smiled bitterly.

It's not that they were unwilling to protect Li Yi and fight him out, but as women, they had no magic power and were all weak and frail. Facing these ferocious soldiers, how could they be their match? They were afraid that they would be beheaded on the spot at the first sight.

"Fairy, can't you give us some good ideas? You three don't have any magic power at all, how are you going to protect me and fight my way out? You'd better calm down first and don't lose your composure." Li Yi looked at her and said.

Xiang Xiangzi was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet: "Taiyi, it's already this time, why don't you calm down? We are trapped in a jar now, there is nothing we can do. And how do we know it won't work if we don't try? It's better for everyone to survive than to be buried here together."

Nine great masters of Taoism of the Tian generation were standing in a row in front of Tianyi Palace, looking coldly at the people in front of them who were surrounded by armored soldiers, feeling full of oppression.

Tianjizi was also worried about the long night and the troubles ahead, so he waved his hand and said, "Kill them and chop off their heads to claim the reward."

Give the order.

The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and as the deafening shouts of killing echoed, these soldiers rushed towards the few people like a tide, each vying for the first place, fearing that they would not be able to grab the head and get the reward money.

Everyone can see that the four people in front of them are lambs to be slaughtered, and those cultivators without magical powers are not to be feared at all.
