Chapter 224: Scooping the Moon From Its Reflection on the Water

Chapter 224: Scooping the Moon From Its Reflection on the Water

Xu Disheng’s Shenque acupoint was permeated with the dazzling white light of the Bai Ze soul body. The aura of destruction it emitted became stronger and stronger, and after a few moments, it erupted!

Xu Disheng cast Golden Moon Demolishing the Shadows once more, causing his body to fade into the void. However, he still suffered a blow from a little less than half the power of a Higher Knowledge ability!

The Golden Moon Garment blossomed with golden light, blocking 70% of the destructive might from the Bai Ze soul body. If it weren’t for this, this single Higher Knowledge ability would have rendered Xu Disheng completely unable to fight!

Xu Disheng’s face was somewhat pale, but his eyes flashed with a cold light.

If he had the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda to protect him, he wouldn’t have taken the least bit of damage from this Killing Heart Beast ability!

Earlier, when Bai Lu attacked, Upper Flame Spirit Master had unexpectedly unleashed a palm made of profound qi towards him, obstructing the protective power of the profound light from the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda!

“What is the meaning of this, Upper Flame Spirit Master?”

Only by once again reaching out to the power of the golden true spirit did he manage to use the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda to blast apart the palm made from profound qi. The pagoda flew back up above his head, casting down innumerable rays of profound yellow light.

“You possess such a valuable Profound Treasure, such that Bai Lu is unable to do anything to you. Do not complicate things further!”

In Upper Flame Spirit Master’s tone, it was possible to hear his dissatisfaction towards Xu Disheng.

Profound qi rotated in Xu Disheng’s palm, and the Demon Punishing Array Diagram spread out, encompassing an enormous area. “Who was the one who said they wanted to capture me just now?” Xu Disheng shot back.

“Who was the one who said they’d teach me what it meant to respect seniority?” Xu Disheng continued. The four-colored swords of the Demon Punishing Array Diagram revolved and sliced dangerously through space, even encompassing Upper Flame Spirit Master within its attack range.

“As an early Divine Core stage cultivator of Shangqing Mountain Range, Upper Flame Spirit Master, you are also committing an offense by attacking a Sacred Son of the sect!”

The moment his words resounded in their ears, a projection of a moon gradually floated up from the White Moon Garment. It was a massive blood moon, surging with an astonishing killing aura!

Battles between Sacred Sons of the same cultivation boundary were tacitly approved of by the sect, but Bai Lu’s Dao Protector, Upper Flame Spirit Master, had committed a taboo by daring to interfere!

Xu Disheng could now exercise a bit of control over the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda. With this, he didn’t need to shy from fighting an early Divine Core stage cultivator!

“Moonlight over Kunlun.”

As the blood moon rose higher and higher into the heavens, the entire expanse of sky above the Anxi provincial city dimmed. The only thing in the sky was the blood moon, exuding an inexhaustible killing aura as it shone down from above!

Upper Flame Spirit Master’s expression turned grave. He waved his sleeve, causing a strong astral wind filled with blazing fire to sweep up. It carried with it a seemingly endless amount of fire and wind element profound qi, which ripped through the curtain of night above the Anxi provincial city and wound around the blood moon.

.

Xu Disheng smiled and said, “Trying to block a light from shining is as fruitless as trying to scoop the moon from its reflection on the water. You won’t be able to avoid this.”

With that, the projection of the blood moon burst into countless blood-colored motes of light, piercing through the blockade that was the blazing astral wind. In the next moment, the motes of light suddenly appeared before Bai Lu’s body.

An enormous projection of the sacred Kunlun Mountain appeared out of nowhere, emanating a vast, ancient aura as it blotted out the sky. The pressure of the aura bore down upon Bai Lu, along with the myriad of tiny rushing motes of blood-red light!

This was the ultimate technique of the White Moon Garment—Moonlight over Kunlun!

Xu Disheng had cast the technique using this Psychic Magic Treasure as the means of channeling its power, but if he had cast it using his own power, it would be powerful enough to be considered a fledgling Higher Knowledge ability!

Bai Lu’s complexion was ashen. Several protective profound light barriers appeared in front of him, trying to block the might crushing down from the projection of the sacred Kunlun Mountain. But try as he might, the blood-colored motes of light penetrated into his body, unhindered.

The peak Dao Foundation stage aura emanating from him began to fluctuate wildly. A moment later, Bai Lu’s cultivation base unexpectedly plummeted to the Sea of Qi stage!

The projection of Kunlun Mountain brought about by the Moonlight over Kunlun technique had the ability to attack and suppress, while the projection of the blood moon had the ability to seal the power of one’s cultivation!

No technique belonging to any Psychic Magic Treasure should be this tyrannical. With this one move, Bai Lu was sealed up completely!

However, due to the support of the Paramount Ancient Bell in Xu Disheng’s Jianggong acupoint, the power of this technique was several times stronger!

This was also the underlying reason behind why Realm Master Kunxu had decided to grant Xu Disheng a special Sacred Son title. Such a miraculously powerful profound law foundation was reminiscent of the profound law foundation that Greater Lord Zhuri had formed back in the day. It even allowed Xu Disheng to glimpse a hint of the profound mysteries of the Clone Avatar stage.

“Bai Lu, now do you know which of us is the superior, and which is the inferior?” Xu Disheng called out.

Bai Lu’s face was filled with anger and humiliation. He had been insulted and put to shame by a newly risen Sacred Son who had barely been cultivating for 20 years. At this moment, his heart was ablaze with a raging fury, soaring to the heavens!

Upper Flame Spirit Master’s expression was filled with astonishment. He waved his sleeve, releasing the seal restricting Bai Lu’s cultivation base. “Why are all of the techniques and cultivation methods you display so powerful?” he asked suspiciously.

After a while, he seemed to finally remember something. Muttering to himself, he said, “That’s right. I heard rumors that Soul Suppressor Sacred Son’s profound law foundation was an ancient bell, and is similar to Greater Lord Zhuri’s profound law foundation. Possessing immeasurable might and many kinds of mysterious capabilities… Raising the power of all of his techniques and cultivation methods must be one of those capabilities.”

“Have Bai Lu apologize to me and make amends, and we can consider this matter settled,” Xu Disheng said, the phantom image of the Paramount Ancient Bell appearing behind his head. All of the power of heaven and earth within over a dozen miles around him suddenly funneled towards him, forming a massive vortex of energy that could only be called a spectacle to behold.

Upper Flame Spirit Master was well aware of Bai Lu’s extremely arrogant nature. He let out a sigh before turning to address Bai Lu. “Sacred Son Bai Lu, I have no way of truly acting out against him. It would be better if—”

Bai Lu had calmed down a bit, his expression back to normal. He took out a token that was clad in an unfathomable aura, and spoke firmly, emphasizing each word. “Use the Yanghua command token from Senior Martial Sister to suppress him right this instant!”

Bai Lu was a disciple who came from the mortal Provinces. But after entering the Shangqing Mountain Range, he earned first place in the Eight Mountains Grand Tournament and was granted the position of Sacred Son. At that point, he had pledged Shangqing Mountain Range’s Peak Shaking Spirit Master as his master.

Peak Shaking Spirit Master was the direct disciple of Primordial Lord Yanghua, who was one of the two Mountain Masters of the Shangqing Mountain Range.

Seeing the jade token, Upper Flame Spirit Master shook his head. He turned his gaze toward Xu Disheng, then unleashed his powerful Divine Core stage aura, letting it surge to the heavens!

With a thought, Xu Disheng sent a mental command to the Demon Punishing Array Diagram, which was still covering an area several kilometers in diameter. The four swords, each emitting a different kind of sword intent, began to send down dazzlingly brilliant sword lights from on high. The array unleashed a dense flurry of attacks that swept towards Upper Flame Spirit Master.

“An insignificant display,” Upper Flame Spirit Master commented indifferently. He waved his sleeves and an enormous wheel of flame and wind appeared before him, towering hundreds of meters tall. It blocked all of the incoming sword lights, sending them flying back in disarray.

BOOM!

The sword energies from the Demon Punishing Array Diagram were sent flying every which way. Some of them collided with the buildings of the provincial capital, reducing them to rubble.

The few Dao Foundation stage disciples that had come with Bai Lu had long since cast a protective barrier of light over the tens upon thousands of ordinary civilians that had come to have their meridians measured.

He Ziming was anxious as he watched Upper Flame Spirit Master genuinely begin to make a move against Xu Disheng. But all he could do was watch as everything unfolded before him. He was absolutely powerless to stop any of this.

“Soul Suppressor, you were too arrogant. Even if you are an unparalleled genius, you should not have acted out against a Divine Core stage Spirit Master!”

As Upper Flame Spirit Master spoke, the wheel of flame and wind grew larger and larger. In the end, it blotted out the whole sky stretching over the Anxi provincial capital.

An uncountable number of gigantic balls of fire began to rain from the sky, leaving long tails of eye-catching light in their wake. The sharp, incisive astral winds amplified the blazing, red-hot flames even further, which swept towards Xu Disheng, threatening to engulf him completely.

“If I don’t act now, wouldn’t that just be letting you trample on me as you please?”

Xu Disheng looked up at the spell that he had practically no way of blocking. However, he showed no signs of panic. A moment later, the flame and wind element profound qi engulfed him, inundating him completely.

“Soul Suppressor Sacred Son!” Chu Luo, Zhang Haobo, and the others cried out in alarm, their expressions changing drastically.

He Ziming’s brows furrowed deeply as he stared unblinkingly into the devastating tempest of flames, his hands curled into tight fists.

Only Quan Hongyu and He Qiwen’s expressions were colored with anxiety. They exchanged a glance, each noticing the alarm and fright present in the other’s eyes.

Yuan Qi had already died. If Soul Suppressor Sacred Son was suppressed and captured by Upper Flame Spirit Master, it was true that it might not have much to do with them. But they were only at the Sea of Qi stage, and Upper Flame Spirit Master could easily put them to their deaths.

With how remote and isolated the Anxi Province was, no one would care if you had conclusive evidence or not. A Divine Core stage Spirit Master like him could use his identity to casually fabricate any kind of charges for them and condemn them to death a million times over.

However, Quan Hongyu and He Qiwen both overestimated their own importance. Upper Flame Spirit Master had hardly spared them even a single glance this whole time. Meanwhile, as Upper Flame Spirit Master watched the profound light from the flames and wind dissipate, his brows creased slightly.

Without the impedance of the enormous wheel of flame and cutting wind, large snowflakes began to fall down from the sky once more. Upon that backdrop, Xu Disheng’s figure reappeared in midair.

The intricate carvings on the Black Sky Yellow Earth were more pronounced, and gradually began to emit its ancient, timeworn aura once more.

Countless rays of profound yellow light shone down from the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda, creating a firm defense around Xu Disheng.

This was the might of a so-called ‘Profound Treasure’!

Surprisingly, it could withstand the head-on attack of a Divine Core stage Spirit Master. Xu Disheng was completely unharmed!

“Impossible! There’s no way you can demonstrate the true protective might of a Profound Treasure!” Upper Flame Spirit Master cried out. His expression fell—this was too far beyond his expectations.

In Xu Disheng’s sea of consciousness, the voice of the Black Sky Yellow Earth’s artifact spirit echoed out. “Xu Disheng, you can only form a connection with the power of the true spirit for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. In this time, you will be able to exhibit a hint of its true might. At this moment, you have half an incense stick of time left.”

Just now, when Xu Disheng had used the power of the true spirit to control the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda, it had already been extremely exhausting. After he managed to block the all-out Divine Core stage attack, the backlash jolted his mind, causing it to tremble incessantly.

If he didn’t have the robust support of the profound qi from the Paramount Ancient Bell in his Jianggong acupoint, blocking this single attack would have exhausted all of Xu Disheng’s profound qi. The flame and wind element profound qi would have also left him with serious injuries!

Bracing his shaking mind, Xu Disheng once again moved the power of the golden true spirit. The Paramount Ancient Bell swallowed and devoured all of the power of heaven and earth, allowing him to activate the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda once more!

Although this was just the slightest hint of power from a supreme Immortal Treasure, it wasn’t something that a Divine Core stage cultivator could block.

Endless prismatic light shone down from the skies, causing the icy wind and snow in the atmosphere to seemingly come to a standstill. A colossal hand formed from profound yellow radiance appeared out of nowhere and grabbed towards Upper Flame Spirit Master!

The moment that Upper Flame Spirit Master saw the enormous hand that towered into the heavens, his expression changed dramatically!
