Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 478
Chapter 476: The Victory of the Extraterritorial Demon
. Some sect disciples and imperial ministers noticed that the sect leader, the great elder, the supreme elder, and the monarch, who usually did not show their emotions on the surface, had an indescribable sense of pride between their brows.
This pride was hard to describe, as if a group of people had accomplished something and had a sense of accomplishment and honor.
These people looked up at the sky, looking at the two figures in the sky.
…
Bai Hongtu stood inside the Jiuzhou Protective Array, hostile to Jiang Li.
“Damn demon, how dare you invade my Jiuzhou world!”
“…No, do you have to act so realistically?” Jiang Li was speechless. Even if he had to put on a full show, it wouldn’t have to start here, right?
“Shut up! Don’t try to get close to me!” Bai Hongtu roared, his eyes blazing with rage. “As the Guardian of Jiuzhou, I must protect Jiuzhou with my own body!”
“Isn’t the Guardian of Jiuzhou the Human Emperor? So it’s your turn now?”
Bai Hongtu turned a deaf ear, immersed in the role he had designed for himself. “How dare you claim to be the Guardian of Jiuzhou? In the competition for the Human Emperor, I defeated Jiang Li and Yu Yin to become the 72nd Human Emperor. Of course, I am the Guardian of Jiuzhou!”
Jiang Li felt that Bai Hongtu was being somewhat personal.
Since Bai Hongtu was acting so sincerely, Jiang Li had no choice but to play along.
A cruel sneer curled Jiang Li’s lips. “My extraterritorial demons are invading the heavens and myriad realms. The Jiuzhou world is but a minor stumbling block, insignificant in its power. If you know your place, depart immediately. I can spare your life. If you persist, you will be buried with the Jiuzhou world.”
As Jiang Li spoke, he emanated a chilling aura and a murderous aura like a sea of blood and corpses, corroding the Jiuzhou Protective Array with a hissing sound.
The Tianhuang Ji, the core of the Jiuzhou Protective Array, was stunned by the two men’s realistic performance. “
Have I missed something?
” “No more words, fight!”
Bai Hongtu activated the Jiuzhou Spiritual Plant Array. With the Immortal Peach Tree of the Red Dust Pure Land at its core, countless spiritual plants, trees, and herbs shimmered with faint light, forming a magnificent and bizarre formation.
If anyone were to travel to the back of the continent, they would discover that the seaweed in the four seas, east, west, south, and north, was also glowing, forming part of the formation.
Judging by the array’s sophistication, complexity, and the sheer amount of computation involved, it far surpassed even the Jiuzhou Protectorate. One wondered how much effort Bai Hongtu had poured into it.
This was the most complex and powerful array Jiang Li had seen in his five hundred years.
The array deployed by the Honghu Envoy in the Ella World simply couldn’t compare.
Countless Fusion-stage cultivators, as well as Yu Yin, Li Er, and Jian Jun, three Tribulation-crossing-stage cultivators, pressed their hands against a nearby spiritual plant, injecting new power into the array.
Commander Liu considered it and offered a portion of his own strength.
As a willow spirit, he possessed a strong affinity with the spiritual plant array, and the power he injected barely eroded.
“I’m testing the power of the spiritual plant array, nothing more,” Commander Liu muttered to himself, confident that Jiang Li would understand.
Bai Hongtu’s power rapidly climbed, soon reaching a certain threshold.
“This power surpasses that of Grandmaster Changcun. It should be at the level of a celestial immortal,” Bai Hongtu estimated.
Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu clashed, and he discovered that Bai Hongtu’s power was stronger than that of the Immortal Eternal, but weaker than that of the Fairy Red Dust, likely at
the level of an ordinary Celestial Immortal. Jiang Li didn’t bully Bai Hongtu, suppressing his own strength to match his own.
Though it was a drill, the clash was a formidable spectacle, enough to cause panic among the cultivators of the Nine Provinces. Both of them ripped through space, leaping to the edge of the universe to fight.
Bai Hongtu pointed at the stars, and they shifted their positions, changing their trajectories to form the Great Northern Dipper.
Sha Lang and Po Jun erupted in immense murderous intent. A powerful divine power, the Transformation of Stars.
The murderous intent, shaped like a sickle, slayed the enemy. This power targeted not the body, but the spirit.
A Yang Shen leaped from Jiang Li’s brows, and with a clasp of hands, he blocked the sickle of murderous intent.
Then, with a shift of force, he hurled the sickle at the stars, shattering the Great Northern Dipper’s momentum.
Yin and Yang energies appeared in Jiang Li’s palms. Yin and Yang gave rise to the Five Elements, which in turn transformed all things.
The flow of these two energies, creating and destroying everything at the same time, ignited Bai Hongtu, caught between them. The Yin attacked his soul, the Yang attacked his body. The contrasting auras threatened to rip his soul from him.
Bai Hongtu formed two distinct seals with his hands, calling upon the sun and moon, neutralizing the Yin with the sun’s Yang and the Yang with the moon’s Yin.
A great magical power: calling upon the Sun and the Moon.
This technique didn’t summon the actual sun and moon, but rather used them as a guide to summon the Yin and Yang they represented.
Before the Red Dust Fairy, no one in Jiuzhou could wield the principles of Yin and Yang. The Dao Ancestor of Jiuzhou created this technique, a subtle yet indirect approach to the principles.
The two engaged in a dazzling display of martial arts, each displaying a dazzling array of moves. Most remarkable of all, each could anticipate the other’s attacks and counter them.
This magical power, called Mengtou, can sense what’s about to happen. Unlike the absolute accuracy of the Dao of Time, Mengtou presents several possibilities, only one of which is the future.
The two were old rivals, and among the possibilities, it was easy for them to choose the true future.
Bang—
Jiang Li struck Bai Hongtu in the chest, petrifying him from the chest down, and the petrification was swift.
Bai Hongtu’s five fingers glowed, flashing a five-colored light. With a single stroke
, the petrification vanished. The Five-Colored Divine Light can erase magical powers.
Yuan Wuxing painstakingly mastered the introductory Five-Colored Divine Light, but it was only a minor magical exchange in their battle.
Jiang Li’s Taoism, while derived from the Daoist school, transcended the Daoist school. He claimed to have stumbled upon several magical powers in the Daoist Scripture Library, but in reality, he had simply learned the Scripture Library’s magical powers.
Jiang Li gasped three times, reciting Buddhist texts mentioning the three disasters of fire, water, and wind.
Seven suns appeared, incinerating Bai Hongtu’s spiritual energy.
The dirty Xuanwu water dripped into his brow, tainting his spiritual platform and causing Bai Hongtu’s eyes to turn black.
A colorless gale blew through Bai Hongtu’s seven orifices, wrecking his mind and body, threatening to rip his yang spirit and internal organs apart.
Unwilling to be outdone, Bai Hongtu summoned nectar from heaven, extinguishing seven suns. He silently recited the Bodhi Heart Sutra, purifying his spiritual altar.
“The body is the Bodhi tree, the mind a mirror. A mirror is inherently pure, untainted by dust!”
Bai Hongtu used his swordsmanship to sever the colorless gale and then consumed the Great Rejuvenation Elixir to repair his yang spirit and body.
The two engaged in a relentless exchange of blows, countering each other’s attacks. Vast mystical powers, long extinct in the Nine Provinces, frequently appeared in their clash.
Bai Hongtu, fatigued, knowing he was no match for Jiang Li, roared, “The Nine Provinces are behind me. There’s no retreat. I cannot lose! Damn extraterritorial demon! Even if I burn myself to ashes, I won’t let you advance a single step!”
“Enough, stop being so mesmerized.”
Jiang Li, using his fingers as swords, unleashed his Heart Sword, slashing Bai Hongtu back to the Tribulation Crossing stage.
Ultimately, Bai Hongtu was defeated miserably.
Jiang Li dragged Bai Hongtu, who looked like a dead dog, back to Jiuzhou.
