Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 428 Breakthrough to the Yellow Court Realm

"You wicked creature, how dare you disrespect the Bodhisattva? Aren't you afraid of going to the eighteenth level of hell?"

On the lotus platform, the illusory image of Guanyin let out a low shout, formed a mudra with one hand, and pressed down on Liu Sheng.

"boom!"

Stone slabs in the underground palace shattered, smoke and dust rose, and earth and stones flew everywhere, hitting the dome and stone walls with a "bang".

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

Liu Sheng snorted coldly, and the monkey hair in his palm, as he wished, could be either soft or hard at will, unleashing a storm of shadows that enveloped Guanyin:

"What eighteen levels of hell? I just want you dead!"

At this moment, his true energy surged like a tide, his talent was fully displayed, he was covered in light and a divine halo enveloped his body, and his aura rose higher and higher. In this underground palace with abundant spiritual energy, his aura was even greater than that of the "Guanyin" opposite him.

In particular, the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts he cultivated were now radiating a golden and jade-like light as intensely as silk, almost tangible, as if he were wearing a golden and jade armor, making him appear like a celestial general descending to subdue demons.

Moreover, the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts is the number one protective arcane art of Taoism, which inherently contains the power to destroy evil and slay demons. When combined with other talents such as "Suppressing Prisons," which contain the power to subdue demons and destroy evil, its power becomes even more immense.

After a few blows, the "Guanyin" figure dimmed, its radiance faded, and its imposing presence diminished.

All the dazzling displays of flowers, the sprung golden lotuses, the radiant Buddha light, and the auspicious clouds vanished without a trace.

What Buddhist land, what Pure Land, all vanished without a trace, like bubbles.

However, even though the "Great Brahma Light Compassionate Crossing Sword Scripture" is profound, how can it compare to the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques"?
During periods of spiritual depletion, the strength of users could be used to compete, but now that the underground palace is rich in spiritual energy, the difference in strength has become apparent.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it would crumble at the slightest touch.

As the illusion faded, like a phoenix shedding its feathers and the mist dissipating, a shocked and bewildered "Du Bingyan" was revealed.

"Aren't you going to take care of your little sweetheart?"

Faced with the overwhelming barrage of sticks, she cried out in alarm, her figure shifting like a phantom as she dodged, screaming as she did so:

"Such a beautiful face, it's such a waste to ruin it! You really have a heart of stone, showing no regard for our past relationship!"

"You tried to take her body to blackmail me, how can I let you succeed?"

Liu Sheng snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with fierce light. He inhaled and exhaled his inner energy, causing the monkey hair in his palm to grow longer and shrink back, becoming harder and softer at the same time.

The length and shape of the staff can be adjusted as desired, and its strength and flexibility can be varied, making its techniques increasingly magnificent, unpredictable, and ever-changing.

Especially with the added talent of "Great Ape King", he has mastered all kinds of martial arts without a teacher, as if it were a gift from heaven. The more he uses it, the stronger and more ferocious he becomes.

In the end, he could even stand still and, with just his thoughts, hit the "monkey hair stick" to every corner of the underground palace, achieving complete coverage.

This "monkey hair" that he thought was not very useful was actually no less than the Mountain-Driving Whip in terms of hardness and sturdiness, but it did not have the many magical effects of a magic weapon.

It does have some of the flair of the "Ruyi Jingu Bang" (a magical staff), which is exactly what he needs right now, allowing him to fully utilize his skills, which is an unexpected bonus.

In this way, "Du Bingyan" was like an insect caught in a web. Although she tried to defend herself and struggled desperately, it was all in vain, and she eventually fell into a dead end step by step.

"Liu Lang, are you really so heartless as to beat me to death?"

Seeing that Liu Sheng was ruthless and relentless in his attacks, showing no mercy whatsoever, "Du Bingyan" suddenly gave up resisting.

She stopped dodging and shifting her position, standing still before the Guanyin statue, gazing at Liu Sheng with downcast eyes and tears streaming down her face, her expression sorrowful and poignant.

"Back then, I was a demon-slaying captain, and you were just a lowly demon hunter..."

"In Black Wind Mountain, I was afflicted by the Peach Blossom Miasma. I thought I would die on the spot, but you summoned a white bird to save me... At that time, I thought I had been taken advantage of by the bandit Yilian, and I was filled with grief and indignation..."

"Later, I entrusted you with the Xuandu Thunder Arrow, intending to use the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation to capture Tiger Demon Wu Song, but little did I know that you were his disciple..."

"Later, in that cave, you used the method of joint cultivation to help me heal my injuries. That was the happiest moment of my life..."

...One old story after another was brought up, one past memory after another, bringing tears to the eyes of the listeners and sobbing to the ears.

Even the most hard-hearted person would be moved at this moment.

But Liu Sheng remained indifferent, his eyes unwavering. With the activation of his true energy, the "monkey hair copper cudgel" grew even harder, which he then raised high—

Swing it around and bring it down!
Visible ripples were blasted into the void, and the shockwaves surged outwards, rolling in all directions with the force of a mountain collapsing and the earth cracking.

"puff!"

With a muffled thud, "Du Bingyan's" beautiful figure was instantly turned into a bloody pulp, splattering crimson specks onto the Guanyin statue, adding a touch of ferocity to its compassionate face.

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

Liu Sheng exhaled a heavy breath, licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his expression became increasingly solemn.

Only when an orange light rose from the shattered remains of "Du Bingyan" did he finally breathe a sigh of relief and withdraw all his various innate phenomena.

That demon is finally dead!
[Detected 1 essence of the fairy in the painting. Refine it to obtain the "fairy in the painting" avatar?]

[Your current cultivation level is too low. If you attempt to refine it, the "Immortal in the Painting" avatar will be downgraded to a "Demon in the Painting." Do you wish to refine it?]

"What fairy in a painting? She's clearly a demon in a painting... at least an old demon..."

Liu Sheng stared at the ink-wash characters appearing on the panel, his eyes flickering thoughtfully.

If one were to refine it now, one could likely obtain a great demon-level avatar, "Demon in the Painting."

But now that he has reached the pinnacle of Dao and has the Human Essence Pill in hand, and the spiritual energy in the underground palace is abundant, it would be better for him to break through first and then refine it, directly reaching the level of an old demon in one step.

This way, you can save over 100,000 spirit essence points.

As for Du Bingyan, with the Willow Branch Dew, a single drop would bring her back to life. Moreover, she had previously consumed this rare and precious treasure, and her life force was abundant, so there was no need to worry for the time being.

However, just to be on the safe side, he first checked the underground palace to make sure it was safe.

Then he summoned several avatars, including the Demon Ape and the Azure Dragon, to guard the Dharma.

Finally, he took out the Human Essence Pill and swallowed it.

The elixir melted upon entering the mouth, becoming a sweet stream that flowed into the stomach, then transformed into a scalding hot stream that rose up and spread throughout the limbs and bones.

Liu Sheng dared not be negligent. He concentrated and held his breath, circulating the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique to refine the terrifying medicinal power that had spread.

In an instant, his body radiated golden light, glowing and emitting heat, while a thunderous roar resounded from within him.

Within the dantian, the colorful stone foundation pulsed violently, releasing wisps of true energy to fill the dantian.

As time went on, Liu Sheng became like a black hole, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy within the underground palace.

The spirit stones embedded in the dome, the stone walls, and the filling of the meditation vat faded completely at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into ordinary jade.

Two hours later.

In his daze, Liu Sheng seemed to hear the sound of rain falling, a soft, clear, and melodious sound, much like the gentle patter of spring rain on the ridges of a field.

In the end, the rain got heavier and heavier, turning into a downpour, a torrential downpour, and a violent storm.

Wait until the wind stops and the rain ceases.

Liu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils gleaming with a brilliant light, his aura surging soaring as if he were about to crack the underground palace.

The Yellow Court Realm is complete.
