From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 529: Eclipse
This time Li Yang's coming out of seclusion did not alarm anyone, and now only Old Xie knows about the base.

Li Yang wanted to kill the Earth Immortal Master named 'Yin Xie', so he didn't dare to reveal his aura. He was afraid that once his aura was exposed, 'Yin Xie' would be scared away and rest in the deep Pacific Ocean like other extraterritorial demons.

Li Yang was not sure about this battle, but he was looking forward to it, very much.
After swallowing the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit of Yan Jin, even Li Yang was not sure how much his combat power had increased.
At least, before he went into seclusion, his Yang Shen breath concealment method could only deceive ordinary people, but now, if he wanted to, even if he walked close to a congenital master, he would not be noticed.

At this moment, Li Yang had only one thought, which was to release all the boiling and unruly divine flames in his body.

This divine flame was brutally destroying his body. Although Li Yang could absorb the divine essence in the earthly immortal fruit, he could not refine the accompanying divine flame no matter how hard he tried.
Since it was impossible to refine it and there was no time to refine it, Li Yang's method was very simple, that is to use his own body as a container to carry these divine flames and make them his own combat power.

This is the divine flame of the Earth Immortal level, which makes Li Yang qualified to fight with the Earth Immortal masters in a short period of time!

But for Li Yang, this approach is tantamount to chronic suicide. The pain of burning is secondary. After all, humans are carbon-based creatures, and the body is a ship for crossing the sea. It has countless meridians and acupoints, which contain endless treasures.

If Li Yang still hasn't found a solution before the treasures and essence of his physical body are burned out, then he will have no choice but to abandon his physical body and practice the lower-level ghost immortal method.

Li Yang, wearing the heat-insulating suit, had a calm expression on his face. Time was running out and all he had to do was fight for his life.

Then, a system interface that looked like an ink painting slowly unfolded before his eyes.

More than half of the seventy-two Earthly Demonic Powers have now been awakened, and the sword-wielding technique has also successfully broken through to the sixth small realm, the realm of nourishing the weapon.

The first three steps of sword-wielding are: gathering Qi, refining Qi, and nourishing Qi; the second three steps are: tempering the shape, engraving the patterns, and nourishing the weapon. Only when you reach the step of nourishing the weapon can you be considered to have mastered the art of sword-wielding.

Li Yang no longer had the Moon Spirit Wheel, the Sky Cloud Sword, the South Sea Sword, and the Three Five Female and Male Demon Slaying Sword.

Tempering a hundred weapons, and uniting them into one! All of them were forged into a sword by Li Yang on Mount Everest, a sword that had not yet been sharpened.

Li Yang felt that this sword should bring some surprises to this desperate world.
-
In the next few days, the world continued to go on, time rolled forward, and 70 billion people went from fear and despair at the beginning, to numbness, and then calmly accepted the fact that at this moment, an extremely advanced cultivation civilization was invading them in the depths of the Pacific Ocean.

Perhaps, this is what Mr. Xie said, the resilience of human civilization.

The Qiongzhou base arranged the plan designated for that day step by step, and also dispatched teams led by ten innate masters to the Bear Country, the Middle East, the European Union and other allied countries to provide support and help eliminate the Xuan Warriors that were still wreaking havoc in their territories.

Someone noticed a strange iron man inside the base, and finally the Taoist Alliance came out to explain that this was a puppet weapon they were experimenting with based on the Xuan Yong.

Liu Ming and Xiao Zhuoma were eager to try out the Taoist Alliance puppet, so they blocked the Iron Man in the base one morning. However, he was slapped into the wall... Xiao Zhuoma took half an hour to get Liu Ming out of the wall.

After that, no one dared to mess with this strange iron man.

The time came to August 13th of the 8th year of the spiritual calendar, which was also the fifth day of the invasion of the Kyokushin world.

The International Supernatural Alliance, an organization established after the Vatican Conference, held its first press conference at the Vatican Church headquarters on the morning of the 20th.

In five days, the Xuan Warriors in the coastal countries were basically eliminated, although Blue Star paid a heavy price.
Reporters and media from dozens of countries crowded around the venue after hearing the news.
The first half of this press conference was nothing more than answering three questions: who are they, where do they come from, and what are they doing here?
Mr. Xie was stationed at the Qiongzhou base, and Mr. Tang took a special plane to bypass the Pacific Ocean and rush to the Vatican to answer these questions on the spot.

I have almost finished talking about the above three questions, and a reporter raised his hand.

"Please." Mr. Tang gestured with his hand.

The reporter stood up and paused. "Excuse me, according to what you said, China knew about the existence of this cultivation civilization called 'Extreme Realm' ten years ago, and predicted that they would invade us. Why didn't they announce it to the public in the past ten years?"

This was a reporter from the United States. He was very excited when asking questions, and his tone was filled with uncontrollable anger.

The aircraft carrier battle group that his country was so proud of had just been completely destroyed by the "Eclipse" on the sea, and now the country was in chaos.

Elder Tang stood up and looked at him directly, neither servile nor arrogant: "First, at that time our country could not be sure of the authenticity of the intelligence, nor could we estimate the specific time of the invasion of this civilization. It was a very wrong behavior to randomly spread uncertain news and cause panic."

"Second, in the third year of the Lingli calendar, our country sent a delegation to various countries through the Dao League. We informed more than a dozen countries including the White Elephant, the Bear Country, the Middle East, and the European Union of the relevant matters. Then, in the fifth year of the Lingli calendar, we submitted relevant letters to your country and the Sakura Country.

Third, our country has not been passively waiting for death in the past thirteen years. On the contrary, we have formulated an extremely detailed twenty-year development plan, and spent a huge price in the Lop Nur incident last year to eliminate the vanguard of this cultivation civilization..."

Elder Tang paused, then shook his head with emotion: "I can only say that time is running out. The urgency and unscrupulousness of the other side's invasion are beyond our imagination."

"Excuse me, since this is a relationship of aggression and counter-aggression, how big is the gap between our two civilizations? What I mean is, what are the chances of Blue Star winning against this 'Extreme Realm'?"

Another reporter stood up. She was a blonde female reporter with a high nose, like someone from the Netherlands.

"Well, we can only say that we have been making progress." Elder Tang held the microphone. "We know very little about this civilization, that's a fact. But they are not beyond imagination. At this point, if we can unite, at least we can have the qualification and dignity to fight..."

"So, there's no chance of winning?"

"We are looking for this possibility." Mr. Tang looked straight at her.

"So, what about 'Yin Eclipse'? That mysterious humanoid creature that appears in the skies over various countries? It is the invader of the spiritual civilization. In your Chinese language, it is called 'Yin Eclipse', right? It is said that it is more powerful than the Super S-class, right?" The female reporter held the microphone and moved forward, asking questions one after another.

"...Yes." Elder Tang nodded and replied: "In our country's cultivation system, this is an earthly immortal."

"I don't think it's on vacation in our world these days." said the female reporter with a high nose bridge. In an instant, the whole venue was in turmoil, like a drop of cold water suddenly dropped into boiling oil. A large number of reporters raised their hands to ask questions, and those who were not called on simply shouted loudly to the people above. The scene was extremely chaotic.

"Earth immortals are extremely special and terrifying beings in Chinese civilization. The word 'immortal' is equivalent to god in Chinese. Can I understand that this is a god, a god who wants to interfere with the progress of our civilization?"

"How many earthly immortals like this are there in that cultivation civilization?"

"Excuse me, what will it cost us to kill it?"

"Is there any cultivator on Blue Star who is more powerful than him?"

"Where is Mr. Li Yang? Why hasn't Mr. Li Yang from your country shown up at this point in time? Is he afraid? Is he no match for this 'Erosion'?"

"..."

The reporters from the United States asked particularly fierce questions. They already knew that this "Eclipse" was the culprit that destroyed their country's aircraft carrier battle group.

It was a feeling of having one's dignity trampled on. The modern weapons that had been so powerful for a hundred years were destroyed in the blink of an eye.
They were unwilling to believe that China had the ability to resolve the "Erosion", but the life-and-death crisis made them hope that someone could come out and end this nightmare.

Anyway, it's very twisted.
Seeing that the press conference organized by the National Supernatural Alliance was about to turn into a unilateral meeting of China, the chief consul of the Supernatural Alliance and representatives of various countries looked at each other in the chaos...

Finally, it was Elder Tang who took the microphone and stood straight in front of the cameras held up by media from all over the world: "We are planning to hunt it down!"

"Hunting? Who will do it? Your country's Dao League and Baiyun Mountain? Another human immortal master, Shimoki Ling from Sakura Country, is still missing."

"no doubt."

"Then why not act now? Allow it to cause panic around the world without any action or production?"

"confidential."

"Can we really kill it? There are only four human immortals in China right now. Even the most powerful Mr. Li Yang is only a human immortal, and he has yet to show up."

"……confidential."

"It's not a secret, but it's simply impossible, right?! The gap between Earth Immortals and Human Immortals is even greater than the gap between Human Immortals and Seed Dao. A Human Immortal can easily slaughter a group of Seed Dao masters, so it can actually easily slaughter the most top-notch cultivation masters on Blue Star today. This is the truth, right?"

A reporter from the United States clenched his fists, veins on his neck bulged, and spoke in a questioning tone, almost shouting.

The entire venue fell silent instantly, and all the reporters who were competing in voices stopped talking.

This is a question that everyone is avoiding, a question that allows them to have illusions and paralyze themselves.

Now, it has been asked in court, in front of the global media,
This press conference was broadcast live around the world...

The awakened spirit cannot defeat the innate, the innate cannot defeat the cultivated path, the cultivated path cannot defeat the immortal, this is the rule.
Elder Tang wanted to speak up, to explain that this Earthly Immortal master came across the realm with injuries, and the gap between realms is not impossible to bridge, such as Li Ling'er from China, and Xiao Zhuoma.

But it was useless. Mr. Tang knew that as long as the "Eclipse" showed off its power and military might all over the world, all explanations would be excuses.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the conference hall was in turmoil. After the American reporter calmed down, he stood there in a daze, somewhat at a loss.
He suddenly realized that he had done something wrong, like the child who unveiled the emperor's new clothes.

Suddenly, "Yes." a voice answered.

There was a moment of confusion in the church... and then it became completely quiet.

Because the sound came from outside the venue.

From the air.

In an instant, all the masters in the venue gathered together, and the monks from various countries showed their magic weapons to protect their representatives.
The crowd walked out of the venue cautiously, looking up.

Above the Vatican, a humanoid creature in white armor stood there, looking down at everything like a god.

"I am a god who has come to end your civilization. You are too backward, and have only been practicing for less than 20 years. I come from a civilization that has been thriving for thousands of years. You cannot kill me."

"And I will slaughter you."

At an altitude of about two thousand meters, Yinxie spoke indifferently in very standard Chinese, as if an ancient god was announcing an oracle.

"We will not kill all of you. We will wipe out your civilization, history, beliefs, religion... and then kill 7 out of every 3. We will transform it into a blessed land for our younger disciples to train. We will use your flesh, blood, and souls to refine magical instruments."

It was not until then that people discovered that the skin of this 'Erosion' was actually very white, and he was about two meters tall. The silver-white armor on his body refracted the glow in the sun.

The blurry photos taken earlier were from an unknown distance and it was at night, so even his armor was not clearly captured.

How did it know about this meeting? Why is it here?
Under extreme fear, there is no time to even think about these questions.

Old Tang looked at the 'Eclipse' in the sky with a gloomy face. The so-called '7 kills 3' means that three out of every ten ordinary people on Blue Star will be killed.
"A 70% survival rate, sounds good?"

The representative of another country nearby sneered.

As Yin Xie said, those people who have cultivation skills must be purged, and then their civilization and history will be wiped out, so that Blue Star will completely become a place for their younger disciples to refine magic tools.

Such a future, just a fantasy, is enough to make people shudder.

I didn't think too much, because at this moment, a figure in nun's clothes shot out from the Vatican Cathedral and rushed towards the 'Eclipse' in the sky.

The Saint of the Vatican, Therese, was a master so low-key that the world almost forgot about her. Fourteen years ago, she was the third human in the world with the ability to fight.
She is in the sky above the Vatican, trying to stop the 'Eclipse'!
