I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 432 The Banner of Ten Thousand Demons! (Please Subscribe)

The moment the divine power of "so close yet so far" was unleashed, a scale naturally emerged in everyone's hearts.

What was being weighed was not anything else, but precisely whether Chen Yi was the inheritor of the ancient Daoist court.

The basis for the judgment is also very simple.

There are only a few rules.

Firstly, Chen Yi has the Azure Dragon divine beast by his side, which can be considered his guardian beast.

Throughout the thousands of years of Taizhou Mountain's history, no one has ever been able to obtain the protection of the four divine beasts. Even in ancient times, very few were able to gain the favor of these divine beasts.

Even if they were, they were well-known powerful figures, such as the Four Divine Lords of the Ancient Dao Court, and those close to them.

Other powerful beings have never even seen a divine beast, let alone possess one.

The second point is natural talent and the ability to rapidly improve one's cultivation level.

These powerful individuals who frequently travel and explore the secret realms and boundaries of Mount Taizhou all know that those who rapidly improve their cultivation and supernatural abilities in a short period of time have mostly obtained ancient inheritances.

Whether it is a legacy of ancient powerful forces such as the Daoist Court, Ling Mountain, or the Demon Court requires further investigation.

In most cases, the more secretive and rare a supernatural power is, the more likely it is to involve the lineage of powerful forces such as the Daoist court or Mount Ling.

The third point is simpler and more straightforward compared to the first two.

—These are the words of the generals and others from the "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss"!
Despite the fact that "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss" is universally reviled and feared on Mount Taizhou, many powerful figures on Mount Taizhou know that beyond its mysterious and domineering nature, "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss" possesses extremely high vision.

Whether it was the massacre of Vajra Temple by the "Pure Land of Bliss" or the invasion of the Frozen Realm and the Thick Earth Realm, what they were after were rare natural treasures and secret teachings.

On this point, most people believe in the perspective of "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss".

It didn't take long.

Seeing Chen Yi severely injure Mo Dao Ke and A Da, two powerful beings at the seventh level of the Divine Power realm, under the watchful eyes of Bai Chuan Yang and the monk, who were both at the eighth level of the Divine Power realm, even more people would believe that Chen Yi has obtained the inheritance of the ancient Daoist court.

"In my opinion, this Azure Dragon Sword Immortal may indeed be the inheritor of the ancient Daoist court."

"That kind of fierce and ruthless swordsmanship, that kind of swift and unparalleled supernatural technique of 'reaching the ends of the earth in an instant,' and the Azure Dragon, which is no longer afraid of the divine will and the pressure of heaven and earth of a great power in the eighth level of supernatural power, if you say that he did not obtain the inheritance of the ancient Dao Court, I will be the first to disbelieve it."

"There's more."

"Don't you all find his method of killing with swordsmanship a bit strange?"

“There have been sword cultivators who practiced the way of killing and slaughter in the past, but which one was as domineering, fierce, and unmatched as him?”

"More importantly, most of those sword cultivators who practice the way of killing are cold-hearted and full of killing intent, like evil demons."

"But look at Chen Yi, has he ever shown any of the evil intent of a swordsman practicing the way of killing? No, right?"

"Hearing you two say that, it is indeed so."

With one powerful figure after another speaking out, the overwhelming voices made it seem as if Chen Yi was already the inheritor of the ancient Daoist court.

No one dared to refute or object.

One of them hesitated before speaking, "Then I'll wait..."

Before he could finish speaking, the other powerful figures quickly cut him off with a single sentence.

"We are naturally watching from the sidelines, and we hope that the ancient Taoist court can be opened in this world."

"You should know that Mount Taizhou is not what it used to be. With more and more powerful beings leaving their respective realms, there are very few undiscovered secret realms and realms now."

"Let alone secret realms similar to the ancient Daoist courts, even small secret realms and small inheritances are rare now."

"If this Azure Dragon Sword Immortal can find and successfully open the ancient Dao Court's inheritance secret realm, it will be a good thing for us."

What he said seemed to make a lot of sense.

However, upon closer examination, it clearly doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

If Chen Yi were to get there first, all the ancient Daoist teachings and rare treasures would belong to him alone.

If others wanted it, they would have to snatch it from the tiger's mouth, either plundering everything Chen Yi had or competing with many powerful figures.

The difficulty of that task is obviously much greater than interrogating Chen Yi at this moment.

In fact, many of those watching Chen Yi and Bai Chuanyang fight at this time had already started to have wicked thoughts.

They probably wanted to see how the fight went, or hoped that they would both be severely injured, so they could then take advantage of the situation.

However, most powerful individuals who have such ideas are not very strong.

The stronger ones had already quietly left their respective realms and headed towards the grassland where Chen Yi was, or they were waiting for him on his way to the Weak Water Realm.

However, many people are also worried.

"Isn't there a risk in doing this? Aren't you afraid of being questioned by that Daoist Zhao Muzi from Xunwangtian afterward?"

"To question him? Even if he kills me, I'll still give it a try."

"That is the inheritance of the ancient Daoist court. Even if we don't get the whole thing, even if we only get 50%... no, even if we only get 10%, we will definitely be able to reach the peak of Tai Zhou Mountain in this lifetime and compete with Daoist Zhao Muzi and others."

"And didn't you notice? Chen Yi and Bai Chuanyang and the others have been fighting for so long, even people like you and me with the eighth level of supernatural powers can sense the tremors there. How could someone like Daoist Zhao not have noticed?"

"If he noticed, why didn't he step in to help?"

"Why?"

"This is why we can take action."

"Master Zhao didn't interfere, letting Chen Yi handle it himself. Regardless of his thoughts, it still represented an opportunity."

"If we are bold enough, we will have a chance to benefit from this attempt to kill Chen Yi. At the very least, if we join forces, we can take other powerful figures to fill the gaps."

"Well...you're right."

Many powerful individuals shared similar ideas, and through mutual persuasion, they began to head towards that grassland.

Everyone wants a piece of the pie.

Furthermore, given the presence of Chen Yi, Bai Chuanyang, and others who had fought there, they were able to take precautions in advance.

There are only two core points.

The first question is how to limit Chen Yi's movement techniques and supernatural powers. If we can trap him, then we will have succeeded more than halfway.

The second is how to force Chen Yi to reveal the location of the ancient Daoist inheritance.

After all, their goal wasn't to kill Chen Yi, but rather to obtain the legendary inheritance of the ancient Daoist court.

If there is no feasible solution, even if they capture Chen Yi, they can only imprison him.

"Let's not worry about whether we can force him to reveal the secrets of the ancient Daoist court. We need to find a way to trap him first."

"Didn't you see? The Azure Dragon Sword Immortal has already killed Ada, Sun Huai, and that swordsman."

"what?!"

Everyone quickly focused their attention back on Chen Yi, and then they saw the grassland.

Amidst two beams of light, one gold and one black, stretching for thousands of miles, Chen Yi stood quietly, sword in hand.

That golden light was none other than the power of the monk's Buddhist merits and vows.

That black radiance was the divine power of Shirakawa Yang's three-headed, six-armed Star-Devouring Divine Ability.

One righteous, one evil; one grand, one dark; yet they did not clash or fight, but instead pressed down on Chen Yi in the middle.

Despite the efforts of the monks and Shirakawa Yo, they were unable to suppress Chen Yi under these circumstances.

Moreover, as this battle continued...

Dao Ke, A Da, and Sun Huai, whom A Lang highly praised, all died at Chen Yi's hands.

The corpse was covered in sword marks, clearly indicating that it had been slowly worn down by Chen Yi during a long and arduous battle. In fact, Chen Yi was not in good condition at this moment.

While the "Near the End of the Earth" technique is incredibly fast, it consumes a significant amount of energy.

Furthermore, the continuous use of swordsmanship, one sword after another, also consumes a great deal of the power and divine intent of the swordsmanship.

After all, he was not facing a powerful being of the same level, but five opponents whose cultivation and supernatural abilities surpassed his.

Almost every sword strike required the resistance of two to three powerful individuals.

In this situation, if he wanted to kill Ada, Sun Huai, and the swordsman, he had to fight faster and take advantage of their unbalanced defenses to launch a surprise attack.

Using this method, he first killed the clumsy barbarian Ada, and then the swordsman.

Finally, Sun Huai, the strongest of the three, also took a toll on his strength, mental focus, and sword intent.

Especially when faced with Shirakawa Yo, who was becoming increasingly angry and disgusted with him.

When he killed Sun Huai, he was almost facing Bai Chuanyang directly, and he was able to overwhelm him with his power in order to succeed.

Therefore, at this moment, Chen Yi experienced for the first time what it felt like to have all the sword intent in his body completely exhausted.

Even with the blessing of the Azure Dragon Qi, after killing three powerful beings at the seventh level of the Divine Power Realm, he only had less than 30% of his divine will left.

Fortunately, he killed the man.

At that moment, wisps of invisible and intangible white smoke surged toward him, rapidly restoring the supernatural powers and divine intent within his body.

Seeing this, the monk and Shirakawa Yo naturally understood his current state.

The two exchanged a glance, then, without further hesitation or giving Chen Yi a chance to catch his breath, immediately charged forward again.

Bai Chuanyang moved with wide, sweeping movements, stomping his foot as he threw a punch at Chen Yi while simultaneously controlling the three-headed, six-armed demon statue behind him to attack, all the while coldly snorting:

"Today you are destined to die by our hands, to comfort the spirits of my brothers in heaven!"

"Amitabha!"

[At forty-six years old, at the peak of the Celestial Realm, you were attacked by the merit and vow power of a powerful being at the eighth level of the Divine Power Realm. Your mind was slightly affected, but has been absorbed. Reward: +15 Counterattack Points.]

[At forty-six years old, at the peak of the Celestial Realm, you have been attacked by the Star-Devouring Divine Power of a powerful being at the eighth level of the Divine Power Realm. Your mind and divine power have been affected and have been devoured. Reward: +23 Counterattack Points.]

[Since your comeback mission is not yet complete, the comeback points you gained will be converted into cultivation points.]

Your cultivation level can be raised to the middle stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm. (To be claimed)

After a quick glance, Chen Yi didn't hesitate and vanished a thousand miles away.

Previously, in order to kill Sun Huai and others, he had no choice but to confront the monk and Shirakawa Yang head-on.

Now that those powerful beings at the seventh level of supernatural abilities were all dead, and given his poor condition, there was no need for him to fight these two powerful beings at the eighth level of supernatural abilities.

"Ok?"

Both the monk and Shirakawa Yo were somewhat stunned by this situation.

The attack that had been launched landed empty space.

The immense power of merit and vows clashed violently with the profound and mysterious power of the Star Devouring Divine Ability.

The terrifying power of the divine will caused violent tremors.

Centered on the location where Chen Yi had previously been, the rocks and soil within a two-thousand-mile radius dropped by more than two zhang.

The very center is ten zhang deep.

It should be noted that they were currently located on the mountainside of Mount Taizhou.

The rocks and vegetation here are far more solid than those in the lower realm, especially the mountains themselves, which cannot be deduced by common sense.

Otherwise, Mount Taizhou wouldn't have been able to support so many realms and secret realms.

Wait until everything is settled.

Both the monk and Shirakawa Yo looked somewhat disheveled, clearly having been caught off guard and injured in the earlier collision.

Enraged, Shirakawa Yang couldn't help but mutter a few curses: "Monk, your speed and agility are truly shameful."

"If you can't catch up with the Azure Dragon Sword Immortal, staying here will be futile. You might as well leave as soon as possible."

The monk's face had lost its previous kind expression; it now resembled that of an angry Vajra, his eyes wide as he glared at Chen Yi on the other side and snorted:
"Does the benefactor think that this old monk does not want to leave?"

“Now that things have come to this, the Azure Dragon Sword Immortal will definitely not let you and me go. Once his supernatural powers and divine will are restored, even you and I will probably die at his hands.”

Shirakawa Yo was well aware of the current situation and was extremely frustrated. "Then what do you suggest we do now?"

"We can't catch them, we can't kill them, we can't escape them, are we just going to sit here and wait to die?"

Chen Yi, watching the two arguing, calmly interjected:

"That's one way to do it."

With the transformation of the white smoke from the corpses of the three powerful beings at the seventh level of supernatural abilities, his depleted divine will has been mostly restored.

In a little while, he will not only be in full health, but also have the opportunity to kill these two powerful beings at the eighth level of supernatural abilities.

Therefore, his mood at this moment was not as agitated and depressed as that of the monk and Shirakawa Yo; on the contrary, he felt somewhat relaxed.

"Junior, you are looking for death!"

Even if I die, I'll make you suffer today!

Provoked by Chen Yi's words, Bai Chuanyang couldn't help but act impulsively.

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a long, entirely black banner from his bosom.

The long banner has a sharp point at the end, like a spear, and there are shadowy figures on the top of the banner cloth, as if ghosts are appearing.

After taking it out, Shirakawa Yo did not hesitate to insert the end of the long banner straight into his chest.

In an instant, streams of blood gushed out, flowing straight down the long banner towards the top.

In just three breaths, the long black banner was stained with a layer of blood red.

Chen Yi frowned slightly and activated the [Discerning Mask] to check the condition of the long banner.

[At forty-six years old, having reached the pinnacle of the Celestial Realm, you saw through the disguise of the Myriad Demon Banner with the [Mask of Illusion]. Reward: +5 Counterattack Points.]

[Note: The Ten Thousand Demon Banner is an acquired spiritual treasure personally crafted by a powerful figure in the ancient demon realm. It was later refined with the blood and sweat of demons, monsters, barbarians, and other beings, and infused with divine souls, supernatural powers, and secret techniques before it was successfully completed.]

The Banner of Ten Thousand Demons possesses unfathomable power, and rejoices in its master's heart's blood. It can unleash the Great Array of Ten Thousand Demons Slaughtering the Heavens, possessing supreme laws of slaughter.

As the large golden characters flashed by, Chen Yi felt a little relieved.

He is least afraid of attacks such as large formations and divine power, but he is more threatened by killing techniques such as the way of the knife and the way of the sword.

Just as he was feeling confident, he saw Shirakawa Yang suddenly wave the blood-red Ten Thousand Demon Banner in his hand.

Following a series of inhuman roars, demonic figures flew out from the Myriad Demon Banner, swirling majestically above the grassland.

Those demonic figures had blue faces and fangs, unlike ghosts or monsters, yet they were even more like them; just looking at them was enough to make one's mind reel.

Strangely, however, the demonic figures did not directly target Chen Yi after they appeared.

Instead, it lunged in all directions, and in just a moment, it caused heavy casualties among the powerful figures watching from all sides.

"careful!"

"These demonic shadows will attack us!"

"Damn you, Old Demon Bai, you'll die a horrible death!"

"..."
