Immortals of the End Times

Witnessing the perilous situation within Xiaoyue's sea of ​​consciousness, Zhao Wuji did not rashly attempt to intervene with his divine sense.

After a moment of contemplation, he formed hand seals and once again performed the Disaster Relief Technique, combining it with the profound mystery of intercepting fate within the true meaning of the Intercepting Dao.

The ancestral demonic aura and calamity power that were entangled in Xiaoyue's mind were peeled away layer by layer.

His heart is as clear as a mirror.

It is very clear that the purpose of the six great demon ancestors of the Nine Netherworlds is because of him.

However, the power of these six ancestral demons was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, making it impossible for them to truly extend beyond the Nine Netherworlds. They merely took advantage of the gaps in the Seven Emotions and Six Desires to sneak in.

Such tricks are nothing more than a gentle breeze to a Nascent Soul Dao Lord like him, but when used against his close associates who are still of shallow cultivation, they are insidious and vicious.

This is to use the people around him as a medium to plant demonic seeds in their hearts and minds, so as to influence and harm him.

"All the tricks of demons are like this. In Buddhist terms, demons are like flying flowers; at first glance, they seem beautiful and alluring, but in the blink of an eye, they turn into arrows and pierce the knee."

As Zhao Wuji pondered, the auspicious light of warding off disaster and the golden threads of intercepting fortune intertwined, and most of the ancestral demonic aura within Xiao Yue's body melted away like snow.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoyue's feelings and obsession with Zhao Wuji were so deeply rooted that the remaining demonic aura not only did not diminish, but instead surged and churned with this obsession.

All the other illusory figures of the Ancestral Demons had dissipated, but the "Zhao Wuji" transformed from the Wrathful Demon became increasingly solid.

A royal physician's robe fluttered without wind, whispering bewitching words in Xiao Yue's ear.

"Stubborn!"

Zhao Wuji frowned slightly, and his hand gestures suddenly changed.

"drive!!"

A wisp of divine light from his brow shot out, piercing Xiaoyue's consciousness like the first rays of dawn, attempting to awaken her true self.

"No, that's not right."

Xiao Yue suddenly sensed something amiss in her mind, her slender fingers clenched tightly, as she tried to break free from this strange illusion.

The demon of anger, in the form of "Zhao Wuji," seized the opportunity when she was in a state of mental turmoil and suddenly embraced her on a conscious level.

In an instant, the enchanting music and seductive words, like venomous snakes, entangled her faltering Dao heart.

In an instant, the Golden Core Path and the Immortal Path to Immortality were all like fleeting clouds in her eyes.

She initially joined the Linglang Cave Heaven to follow in Zhao Wuji's footsteps.

If I can stay by your side now, even if my foundation is destroyed and my path to immortality is cut off forever, what does it matter?

"Foolish child."

Zhao Wuji's divine sense glimpsed the scene of despair in Xiao Yue's sea of ​​consciousness, and a complex emotion flashed across his eyes.

Now that things have come to this, it seems that only by personally getting involved can he break free from this entanglement of evil.

Otherwise, if the demon of anger is allowed to succeed, Xiaoyue will be forever trapped in the abyss of evil, never to be redeemed!
Zhao Wuji's gaze darkened slightly, and in the blink of an eye, nine ancient bronze cauldrons suddenly rose into the air from his sleeve.

The nine tripods of Yu the Great surround the body, their heavy patterns flowing with the ancient Taoist charm of suppressing mountains and rivers, forming a protective barrier.

His fingers moved with lightning speed, and the golden lines between his brows burst forth with brilliant light.

A wisp of primordial spirit, protected by the exorcism technique, transformed into a stream of light and entered Xiaoyue's sea of ​​consciousness.

"break!"

The power of the primordial spirit surged like the might of heaven, causing the entire sea of ​​consciousness to tremble violently.

Zhao Wuji's primordial spirit dharma form was as majestic as an ancient divine mountain, with golden patterns of intercepting the Dao wrapped around his body. Every step he took caused the demonic clouds to surge and dissipate.

Before the illusory figure of 'Zhao Wuji' conjured by the demon of anger could react, it was suppressed by the vast power of the primordial spirit.

"roll!!"

The primordial spirit's dharma form glared angrily, its eyes reflecting a blood moon. With a flick of its sleeve, the true intent of intercepting the Dao transformed into countless golden chains, which, like a net of heaven and earth, strangled and killed the demonic shadow.

"what!"

The demon writhed and crumbled with a mournful cry, its demonic energy melting away like snow being poured over boiling water.

Suddenly, a beam of clear light shone into Xiaoyue's hazy mind, dispelling the chaos and instantly clearing her mind.

"S-Sir?"

She stared blankly at the real projection of Zhao Wuji's primordial spirit before her, her pretty face turning deathly pale.

All the shameful obsessions that had just plagued her mind surged back to her, making her ears burn with embarrassment and anger.

"boom!"

Before he could speak, a sinister laugh suddenly came from the dissipating demonic energy.

The ferocious face of the Demon of Anger condensed again, followed by the phantoms of the five ancestral demons, including the Demon of Greed and the Demon of Resentment, emerging one after another from the dissipated demonic energy, as if they had been rekindled from the ashes, turning the sea of ​​consciousness into a pitch-black demonic realm.

"Hehehe, Zhao Wuji, you've finally taken the bait!"

The six demonic masks laughed in unison, causing Xiaoyue's primordial spirit to tremble violently.

Zhao Wuji stood with his hands behind his back, as if he had expected this, a faint sneer playing on his lips: "The six Ancestral Demon seniors went to such lengths, resorting to bullying the weak and shamelessly setting up a trap to lure us here, truly..."

He slightly lifted his eyelids. "You've gone to great lengths."

"presumptuous!"

Sensing the sarcasm in Zhao Wuji's words, the Demon of Anger roared, "Boy, how dare you speak to me like that? I think you don't understand the situation and are unaware of the power of the six great ancestral demons."

His demonic voice was like thunder, shaking the sea of ​​consciousness.

"The situation? Is it serious?"

Zhao Wuji had a faint smile on his lips, his arms crossed over his chest, and his tone was calm with a hint of mockery: "Why do you seniors need to make a show of force? I know that your power cannot extend too much beyond the Nine Netherworld."

The realm beyond the Nine Netherworlds will not tolerate your reckless behavior.

His gaze swept across the surging demonic energy like lightning, and he continued, "Moreover, with this little bit of demonic power, it is indeed ruthless to affect the people around me, but as long as I am here, you will have no chance to take advantage of me."

If the seniors truly possessed extraordinary abilities, why would they need to use a mere cultivator who hadn't even condensed his Golden Core to set up this scheme?

A golden glint flashed in his eyes as he looked into the depths of the demonic energy with a half-smile: "Why don't you let this junior see what new tricks you all have up your sleeves after being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao for ten thousand years?"

"What an ignorant child."

"Arrogant and foolish!"

Upon hearing this, the six ancestral demons simultaneously let out a sinister laugh.

The demon's crimson eyes flickered with ghostly flames as he snarled, "Boy, you've been in seclusion for too long, you're probably unaware of the upheavals outside! True, we can't do anything to you for now, but do you know..."

When demons invaded back then, we had already sown the seeds of demons throughout the land!

The demon's six demonic arms writhed like a swarm of snakes, its demonic voice piercing to the bone: "Now that war has broken out across the Nine Provinces, how many cultivators have voluntarily joined my demonic ranks? When the demonic tide rises again..."

Its demonic face on its abdomen suddenly split open with a gaping maw, "This will be the end of those ants around you!"

The vengeful demon emerged from the depths of the altar with its serpentine head, thick demonic saliva dripping into the abyss: "I'd like to see how many people you can protect, no matter how powerful you are. Didn't you say you wanted to avert the calamity of the end times?"

Its single eye burned with a fierce flame of resentment, "If you can't even protect your closest relatives, what difference does it make whether you face this calamity or not!"

"Is the world in chaos now?"

Zhao Wuji frowned slightly, his fingers moving secretly in his sleeve as he calculated using astrological techniques.

These six ancestral demons spoke words that pierced the heart, yet it was difficult to discern their truth from falsehood.

Is there truly a change in the Nine Provinces, or are these demons just spreading alarmist rumors to disturb his resolve?
However, judging from the meaning between the lines of these six ancestral demons, these six old things seem unaware that the calamity of the end times might be caused by a terrifying existence from beyond the heavens.

It seems they are genuinely concerned that he might be able to avert the calamity of the Dharma-ending Age?
Ever since he learned that the calamity of the end times was caused by a powerful being from beyond the heavens, he had felt despair and temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​resolving the calamity, intending to first help the fallen Heavenly Dao regain its clarity.

If these six Ancestral Demons were aware of the existence of that extraterrestrial being, they shouldn't have been so wary of him.

Although he was puzzled, Zhao did not show it directly. He smiled sarcastically and said, "The six seniors went to such lengths just to prevent me from resolving the calamity of the end times?"

Could it be that the continued decline of the Nine Provinces might actually help you all regain your former glory?

"boom!"

The vengeful demon's dark demonic energy erupted like a volcano: "How dare a mere brat discuss the pinnacle of the six great ancestral demons?!"

Zhao Wuji's sneer deepened: "Although the Nine Netherworld can accumulate the filth of heaven and earth, it is nothing more than a place to eke out a living. It is not exactly glorious, and it is far from reaching the realm of the ancient Heavenly Venerable."

"So, the ambition of these six seniors was simply to cower in this dark and sunless place, to be cowards who couldn't see the light of day?"

"Roar!!"

The six ancestral demons roared in unison, and the Greed Demon, his face contorted in a grotesque rage, howled: "When the Heavenly Dao collapses, I will devour your flesh and blood!"

The demon coldly said, "How dare you, mere ants, presume to resolve the great calamity of the end times? We are merely unwilling to see that wicked Heaven revive."

The demon's crimson eyes blazed with ghostly fire as he snarled, "You brat, what do you know! If the Heavenly Dao awakens, even surviving will be a luxury for us, let alone any grand ambitions!"

The greedy demon let out a chilling laugh: "That's right! If you want to help Heaven awaken, you'll have to cut off our path to survival!"
If you remain obstinate, I'd like to see how many people around you you can protect.

The demon's single eye flashed with a scarlet light. "We in the Nine Netherworlds are indeed powerless against you. But surely your many lovers will make a mistake someday?"

"grown ups."

Xiao Yue's pretty face turned pale, and her slender fingers gripped the hem of her clothes tightly.

She then realized with a start that she had become the Accomplished Demon's weakness in blackmailing the adults, and an overwhelming sense of shame welled up in her heart.

"Shut up!" Zhao Wuji's eyes flashed with golden light, and as he rolled up his sleeves, he made a hand seal to exorcise the spirit.

In an instant, a waterfall of clear light transformed into thousands of Dao-patterned chains that swept out and pulverized the demonic thoughts that had invaded the six Ancestral Demons!
The six ancestral demons roared in unison, and demonic flames surged from the depths of the Nine Netherworlds.

The Seven Emotions Demon Flowers bloomed one after another in the void, each petal entwined with twisted Dao patterns.

The Six Desires Demon Tree rose from the ground, its branches adorned with countless ferocious demon heads that emitted piercing shrieks and scattered Six Desires Demon Leaves.

In an instant, the entire sea of ​​consciousness was dyed crimson, and the demonic Daoist essence condensed into a viscous black mist that was almost tangible. Even the void itself was being corroded and hissed.

"Boom!"

How terrifying was the combined power of these six ancestral demons? Even though they were trapped in the Nine Netherworlds, the demonic power they unleashed at this moment caused the entire sea of ​​consciousness to tremble violently.

"Hey!"

As the Seven Emotions Flower blooms, the seven extreme emotions of greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, evil, and desire transform into a seven-colored rainbow that streaks across the sky, emitting a seductive melody that seems to entwine the soul with love.

The branches and leaves of the Six Desires Demon Tree stretched out, and the six demon fruits of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind exploded simultaneously.

The eyes are meant to seduce the soul, the ears to bewitch the heart, the nose to erode the bones, the tongue to entwine the body, the body to burn, and the mind to confuse the spirit.

This demonic thought, carrying the most primal source of desire, struck down, and within the lightning, countless lewd illusions of men and women entangled together appeared!
"presumptuous!!"

Zhao Wuji's sword-like eyebrows furrowed, and within Xiao Yue's fragile sea of ​​consciousness, she dared not exert her full strength.

They even had to intervene immediately to protect her, otherwise Xiaoyue would die on the spot.

He joined two fingers together like a sword and pointed them sharply at his brow. The golden patterns on his forehead suddenly burst forth with dazzling light: "May the earth's veins be eternally suppressed, and may all paths submit!"

"Block the land! Block the road!"

"Boom!"

In an instant, Cangyunzi's true meaning of "bearing the heavens and carrying all things" was forcibly intercepted and transformed into nine towering mountain phantoms that rose from the ground.

Each mountain peak exudes the ancient Taoist inscription of "benevolence and compassion," and the mountains flow with a mysterious and powerful aura, effectively resisting the rampant demonic tide.

The earth is receptive; a virtuous person, with broad-mindedness, carries all things in the world.
"A single spark ignites a prairie fire!"

He made a hand gesture with his left hand to exorcise spirits, and the cold moonlight shone like an inverted Milky Way.

With his right hand forming the Sun-Burning Seal, a dazzling golden light shone like the sun descending from the sky.

Thirty-six more talismans shot out from between his eyebrows, intertwining in the air to form a protective barrier against disaster and evil.

"Zi la!!"

The Seven Emotions Demonic Rainbow collided with the illusory mountain peaks, instantly exploding into a sky full of colorful demonic fire.

The fire of greed is golden, while the flame of anger is crimson.

Within each demonic flame emerged the distorted faces of all beings sinking into depravity.

"Bang bang bang!"

The Six Desires Demonic Lightning struck the light screen, unleashing a deafening roar.

Within the pitch-black lightning, countless lewd and demonic shadows emerged, some performing seductive dances of celestial demons, others displaying entangled postures, their filthy demonic energy corroding the barrier, causing it to hiss and crackle.

Xiaoyue's mind was instantly turned upside down!
The protective barrier that Zhao Wuji had personally constructed was violently distorted under the impact of the demonic power, and ripples of disintegration spread out.

Countless petals and black, demonic leaves, tainted with demonic power, poured down like a torrential rain.

Each petal that falls to the ground transforms into a poisonous miasma of passion, and each broken branch that touches the ground becomes a swamp of desire.

In the blink of an eye, this sea of ​​consciousness was transformed into a filthy demonic realm of emotions and desires!

Instantly, Xiaoyue's primordial spirit trembled violently, and the snow-white Taoist robe that her primordial spirit had transformed into was corroded by demonic energy, leaving cracks.

The poisonous miasma of the seven emotions seeped in through the cracks, igniting the flames of passion deep within her consciousness.

It was as if hundreds of demonic hands reached out from the swamp of desire, tearing at her clothes and caressing every inch of her skin.

Some of the most private memories were brutally unearthed, transforming into vivid, shameful scenes that played out repeatedly in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"My Lord, I."

Her cheeks flushed an unusual crimson, and her slender fingers unconsciously gripped her collar.

An unspeakable heat surged from the depths of his Dao heart, as if thousands of ants were crawling in his marrow.

Her once clear eyes gradually became misty, and tears welled up as her eyelashes trembled.

"Xiaoyue, calm down!"

Zhao Wuji gave a low shout and used a hand seal to exorcise spirits to help Xiaoyue calm her mind.

"Jie Jie Jie!!"

The six Ancestral Demons let out a deafening laugh, and the turbid energy of the Nine Netherworlds surged like a tsunami: "Boy Zhao, can you taste the feeling of being powerless now?"

The demon of greed, with hundreds and thousands of feet dancing wildly and grinning savagely, roared, "Protecting one person is easy, protecting a hundred is difficult! I'll see how long you can hold out!"

"Intercepting the Dao! The Dao of Heaven!"

Zhao Wuji let out a clear shout like thunder from the heavens, and his sword finger suddenly pointed towards his brow.

In an instant, the golden patterns of the Intercepting Path burst forth with a dazzling light, and three thousand six hundred golden chains suddenly appeared in the sky!

The Daoist principles and rhythms of the Heavenly Net manifest from the void.

Each one is entwined with the Daoist pattern of 'the vast net of heaven'.

Thousands of golden chains intertwine to form a chaotic barrier.

As they intertwined, a chaotic scroll encompassing the four cardinal directions and eight wastelands unfolded in the void.

The sun, moon, and stars in the picture rotate endlessly, and the mountains and rivers rise and fall dramatically, clearly manifesting the laws of the entire world as a cage.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The Seven Emotions Demon Rainbow collided with this net of heaven and earth, instantly exploding into a sky full of colorful poisonous fire.

The Six Desires Demonic Lightning struck the Daoist barrier, exploding into countless distorted faces of desire.

The chains vibrated and emitted a Daoist sound like a grand bell, completely dispelling the incoming demonic energy!

"Generate light!"

Zhao Wuji let out a low shout, his left palm held up the bright moon, and his fingertips shot out a dazzling light.

The light was so pure that it seemed to illuminate the deepest hell, and every ray was imbued with the true meaning of the Daoist principle of "penetrating the void and breaking through illusions." Wherever it passed, the demonic energy melted away like spring snow.

"Scorching sun!"

He pressed down hard with his right palm, and a blazing golden sun leaped out from his palm.

At the core of this great sun, a three-legged golden crow phantom sat cross-legged, its outstretched wings scattering endless solar fire.

Amidst the surging flames, the Fusang Divine Tree could be faintly seen swaying, each branch and leaf bearing the ancient Taoist inscription of "burning the heavens and boiling the seas".

"boom!!"

The two supreme yang energies merged in mid-air, transforming into a golden-white halo with a diameter of a thousand feet.

As the wheel rotates, it tears apart the surging tide of demons, while at the center of the wheel, the yin and yang energies intertwine to form a Tai Chi diagram.

The demonic energy that was drawn into the light wheel didn't even have time to scream before it was refined into wisps of green smoke!
"Roar!"

The six ancestral demons roared in resentment, their dark demonic bodies dissolving inch by inch in the purifying flames.

The demon's single eye flashed with a crimson light: "It's useless! Demonic thoughts are like maggots clinging to bones."

Before the words were finished, a bewitching and alluring Seven Emotions Demon Flower suddenly bloomed from the raging demonic energy that was about to dissipate!

The demonic flower was carved from blood-red jade, with its seven petals displaying the seven colors of greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, evil, and desire, and each petal flowing with viscous demonic nectar.

As the petals peeled away layer by layer, they emitted a mesmerizing, lingering sound, like the entanglement of love and desire.

"Huh! Huh!"

Two of the petals suddenly transformed into crimson lightning, one of which, wrapped in a demonic light of greed, aimed straight for Zhao Wuji's vital point between his knees.

Another flame, wreathed in infatuated demonic energy, shot straight towards Xiaoyue's brow!

Both of them trembled violently at the same time.

"Disperse!"

With a low shout, Zhao Wuji instantly intercepted the demonic Dao's Dao essence between his brows, forcibly devouring and assimilating the influence of this patch of demonic flowers.

However, on the other hand...

"Ugh!"

Xiao Yue looked up and let out a mournful cry.

The petal that had entered her brow exploded in her sea of ​​consciousness, transforming into countless threads of emotion that entwined her primordial spirit.

The clear light in the girl's eyes was instantly swallowed by blood, and a strange seven-petaled demonic flower phantom appeared deep in her pupils.

The seven emotions bewitch you, silently invading your heart!
