Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 474 Chongguang's Decisiveness

Why was Hongyun shocked by the [Heavenly Fire]?

The reason is simple: like the "Heavenly Fire" and "City Wall Soil," there are almost no corresponding techniques passed down in the world, so they have always remained hidden.

However, the logic behind this is completely different.

The reason why the "City Wall Soil" has gone into seclusion is that the Zouyu royal family, who once controlled the "City Wall Soil," physically severed all cultivation methods available for it.

This is a man-made disaster.

However, the "Heavenly Fire" naturally disappeared.

Because the conditions for obtaining gold through [Heavenly Fire] are far too demanding, such outrageous conditions are practically equivalent to severing all paths to enlightenment.

Therefore, as time went by, fewer and fewer Foundation Establishment cultivators practiced [Heavenly Fire], and the techniques were gradually lost, eventually becoming extinct in the world. After all, which Foundation Establishment cultivator didn't harbor some desire for gold? Without gold, no matter how strong their combat power was, it was just a mirage.

However, one thing is undeniable: [Heavenly Fire] is really powerful!
Boundless mountains and seas, the sun and moon under the same sky, Lü Yang made a hand seal with one hand, and a point of bright light shone from his fingertip, like the central hub of heaven and earth, with all things surrounding it.

'【A wise ruler governs】.'

Lü Yang's innate divine power is based on this profound mystery. The [Light of Governance] he generates strips away all phenomena, and with the blessing of the [Emperor of Fate], it becomes even more mysterious.

After being defeated four times, Hongyun lost two of his innate divine abilities, all his spiritual treasures, and his immense magical power, leaving him extremely weak. Meanwhile, Lu Yang on the other side was at his peak. With a single thought, a divine ability landed on him.

'[Thunder subsides]!'

With the blessing of supernatural powers, as his lips and teeth opened and closed, just like the previous good fortune, Lü Yang directly burst out a thunderous sound from his throat, and rolling yang fire came like a storm.

Upon seeing this, Hongyun nearly ground his teeth to powder.

That's my supernatural power!
Got bullied!
Despite this, he dared not hesitate for a moment. With a thought, his body exploded, instantly transforming into a dazzling crimson light that shot into the sky.

He blew himself up.

A golden, radiant soul instantly vanished into the Underworld. Its speed was so great that only a True Monarch at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm could intercept it.

Seeing this, Lü Yang was not surprised. He simply stood still, using the [Fate and Destiny] buff to neutralize the aftershocks of the explosion.

Strictly speaking, if Lü Yang hadn't used the [Tribulation Wave] to raise his own level to the late Foundation Establishment stage, and had simply fought Hong Yun with equal cultivation, he could have won, but not so easily. The fact that he won so smoothly this time was more because he caught Hong Yun off guard.

'He didn't know I was practicing [Heavenly Fire].'

That's why they used the Jia Wood Divine Power to deal with him, but it was countered by his Wu Fire [Returning to the Palace], and after falling into a disadvantageous position, it was difficult for him to turn the tide.

Unfortunately, while Lü Yang could win, he couldn't stop Hong Yun from committing suicide.

Without Angxiao's help, even if he sent the puppet to accompany Hongyun to the underworld, it would be difficult to find him and pinpoint his reincarnation.

'But I suppose it's a great success. Hongyun shouldn't dare come back to this lair anymore; I've effectively cut off their escape route.'

Lu Yang composed himself and looked at his hand.

Under the rule of a wise ruler, amidst the golden light, the supernatural powers, magical abilities, and spiritual treasures previously taken from Hongyun have fallen into a state of stillness.

As long as he doesn't let go of the mystery, these things won't be able to escape.

'However, the quota for "Enlightened Ruler" is limited. Once it's saturated, it can't be used anymore, and occupying these quotas for nothing would only be a waste of my share.'

'Unless I can truly prove the power of "Heavenly Fire," then perhaps there will be no limitations.'

Upon realizing this, Lü Yang immediately withdrew his control over Hongyun's magical power and spiritual treasures, and also dispersed the [Thunder Gradually Dissipates], leaving only a [Root of All Things].

“The spiritual treasures don’t matter. Even if I disperse the mysteries, Hongyun himself has already been reincarnated, and these spiritual treasures are now ownerless. In the end, they will still belong to me. As for magic power, it’s even more meaningless. As for the [Thunder Gradually Subsides], this Jia Wood Divine Power is not bad, but it is countered by me, so it is not worth worrying about.”

The only thing of value is the [Root of All Things]. This is a Chen Earth Divine Power. Moreover, unlike the Chen Earth Divine Powers in the world today, as a divine power of great fortune, this Chen Earth has not been reversed!

It is still Yang Earth!
'Keep it; it might be useful later.' What remains is that fragment of the grotto-heaven in Jiangnan.

Lü Yang withdrew his supernatural powers and turned to look in the direction of the Holy Sect.

He believed that his Uncle-Master Chongguang would not disappoint him. He would never forget how ruthless Chongguang was when he sacrificed the entire Qing Kingdom without a word.

Lü Yang had even guessed what Chongguang would do.

After all, he had also used the "Book of a Hundred Lifetimes" to settle accounts with Chongguang. He was the person who understood Chongguang the most in the world. A simple analogy would make it clear.

The catalyst was a mass grave!

Less than a month later, the news came.

The Sword Pavilion Demon-Slaying Master personally went to the mass grave and expelled all the Jiangbei cultivators, causing a large fluctuation in the price of substitute puppets within the Holy Sect.

Soon, the Holy Sect responded.

The acting sect leader, Chongguang, personally took action, and the "Qingcheng Feixue Zhenjun" emerged from seclusion with great fanfare, seemingly poised to launch a major war between the righteous and demonic factions of the North and South.

However, just when everyone thought that the Holy Sect's goal was to reclaim the mass grave, Chongguang, who had entered Jiangnan, suddenly changed direction and arrived directly at Gantang Road. The next second, the Qingcheng Feixue True Monarch, who had been gathering his strength for a long time, made a fierce move, and a clear stream of light suddenly shone down from the sky.

No one expected this dramatic change.

Mass grave? Jiangbei cultivators? Holy Sect disciples? Chongguang ignored them all, treating them all as expendable pawns, solely to conceal his true purpose!
The True Lords of Sword Pavilion had already made preparations. This time, Sword Pavilion's setup in the mass grave was to monopolize the heretical positions in the [Mysterious Spirit Realm].

If True Monarch Qingcheng Feixue makes a move, they will all step forward to stop him.

Therefore, their attention was focused on the mass grave, so Qingcheng Feixue Zhenjun's change of direction slowed their response by half a beat.

In addition, the Holy Sect also had a True Lord, [Zengcai Qiluo True Lord], who also intervened, successfully creating a brief opening for Qingcheng Feixue True Lord.

"Boom!"

The next second, clear light shone into Gantang Road, and the huge Ganhai Li family was instantly evaporated in the light before they could even react.

"【Pure Light】!?"

Inside the Sword Pavilion, a True Lord looked astonished, for the clear, flowing light that shone down at this moment was essentially the fundamental image of the [Stream Water]!

The stream below prefers clarity, so this stream of light, as its name suggests, can purify all the filth in the world, turning turbidity into clarity. As for which is clear and which is turbid, it all depends on the personal opinion of the master of the fruit. In the eyes of the True Lord of Clear and Bright Snow, those who are my enemies are turbid, and those who are good to me are clear.

At this moment, the light shines brightly, and all things fall silent in an instant.

The first things to evaporate along the entire Gantang Road were the people and things of the Li family who were fishing at the sea. In an instant, all the buildings and formations on the ground vanished without a trace.

It was as if a family had never existed here.

Immediately following was the vast expanse of seawater within Gantang Road. A perfectly good harbor was transformed into a deep pit in an instant, revealing the true underwater landscape.

Under the radiant light, the fragments of the [Changyao Baoguang Cave Heaven] could no longer be hidden and were forced to reveal themselves. However, even when Hongyun was still a True Monarch, he was no match for the current True Monarch Qingcheng Feixue, let alone a fragment of a cave heaven. In an instant, the fragment began to melt away inch by inch!

Such a dramatic change naturally alarmed [Angxiao].

After all, this fragment of the cave was a trap he had prepared for Hongyun, but it was crushed to pieces by the indiscriminate attack of True Monarch Qingcheng Feixue.

[Angxiao]: "Huh?"

What happened?
