Chapter 1196: Chapter 728: Forcefully Slaying Three Equals, Part 2

“`html

The illusory arm clutching the black locust seemed stubbornly pressed down, yet even though it could pull at the great tree bound to it, it could not break through the wall of wind before it, rendering its efforts somewhat pitifully futile.

Crack!

Gathering all its strength, the illusion finally broke free one arm.

“Huh.”

The Five Directions Bodhisattva slightly raised an eyebrow, unconcerned about these minor changes.

The opponent’s life was already completely in his grasp.

Once the protective glow on that Dharma Aspect was worn away, it would be the time for the opponent to meet their end in the Eight Extremes Valley.

Suddenly, his composed gaze flickered for a moment, as a wisp of gray mist silently appeared in his line of sight.

Before the Five Directions Bodhisattva could react, the gray mist had already engulfed his entire vision, swallowing the fierce wall of wind.

In the next moment, a thousand-legged black dragon, revealing its ghastly white bones, suddenly burst through the gray mist.

The pupils of the Five Directions Bodhisattva widened dramatically, and even the smile at the corner of his lips froze, as the entire person was fiercely smashed by the thousand-legged black dragon.

The terrifying force contained within the dragon’s body was clearly not from the black locust itself but from the illusory arm gripping it tightly.

Bam–

The old monk was violently thrown back, his Bodhisattva Dharma aspect tilting backward.

With just one strike, the radiance on his body was shattered, pounding him fiercely into the mountain below!

“Too flashy.”

Shen Yi casually glanced downward, massaging his wrist slightly.

The gray mist enveloped the six-armed illusionary Dharma Aspect, like a great cloak.

The howling winds had long been swallowed into the Taixu Realm.

He had no habit of waiting for the dust to settle.

Without the Bodhisattva’s control, the divine power of the Five Directions Banner was clearly weakened.

The six-armed illusion vibrated sharply, turning all the massive trees on its body into dust, then leaped out of the vastness.

All six great palms formed different hand seals at the same time, the majestic Golden River converging, slamming downward altogether!

A gigantic golden bowl dropped with a rumble, causing the continuously booming Eight Extremes Valley to nearly collapse entirely.

Boom!

Lying on the leveled mountain, the Five Directions Bodhisattva took this blow solidly, blood spilling from his eyes, nose, mouth, and tongue, with breaths coming in stuttering halts.

Let it be said, the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva dared to leave Southern Sumeru even when heavily injured, even infiltrating the Divine Dynasty, making him exceptional among Bodhisattvas, with skills thoroughly honed for slaying art, extremely useful indeed.

If not for the suppression of the Demon Slaying Order and the Emperor’s Aura, the outcome would have been hard to say on that day.

“Help… me!”

The old monk trembled, raising his hand to rally the Five Directions Banner again.

Not to mention the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Bodhisattva, even if the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva hadn’t fallen yet, once trapped within this flag formation, there’s no easy escape.

The gray mist just now was clearly a method of the Shenxu Mountain.

For a cultivator to wield two completely opposing Powers of Order Origin simultaneously and still maintain clear sanity without backlash, it’s simply a miracle!

However, under great risk, this fiend’s power also received corresponding rewards.

The Daluo Dao Fruit and the Bodhisattva Fruit Position complemented each other, absolutely unmatched by ordinary people.

For a moment, he instinctively called upon that old demon he once despised.

“…”

The black locust was similarly on the brink of death, aware that it only bore the thunderous methods of the two great Bodhisattvas earlier, and still breathing now was already a thing to be proud of.

Hearing the words of the Five Directions Bodhisattva at this moment, it looked grim.

Honestly, if the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Bodhisattva were a normal person, comprehensible in thought and open to discussion, it would stand on the opposite side without hesitation.

Unfortunately, in that young man’s eyes, it saw no trace of emotion, not even enmity.

No reason, no argument.

The opponent purely… wanted to kill it.

“Roar!”

The black locust finally let out a loud roar, mobilizing tribulation power and blood essence again, its whole body spiraling up.

Previously the Bodhisattva’s many methods only received a “too flashy” evaluation from that person.

How could it repeat the same mistake?

Thus it acted without hesitation, decisively transforming its demon form into a sword, akin to a colossal mountain, charging upwards fiercely with unparalleled sharpness.

“…”

Shen Yi raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Do Demon Venerables fight so brutally?

But he liked it.

Instantly, six great arms spread wide, embracing the charging long dragon with precision, the opponent’s thick demonic power instantly suppressed by the Golden River.

The illusion hoisted it high, like an iron spear, brutally penetrating the backward-leaning Bodhisattva Dharma Aspect.

Plop!

“Ah?”

The Five Directions Bodhisattva stared blankly into the air, just having rallied the five banners.

Before thunder, fire, wind, and water could descend, his Dharma Aspect shattered into countless glows under the vast demonic power and tribulation power.

Just five breaths… the opponent, an illustrious Third Grade Demon Venerable, stalled that fiend for five breaths!

It wasn’t even stalling.

More like feeling the fiend held no suitable weapon and just handed itself over.

“…”

The Five Directions Bodhisattva’s fingers trembled as he lowered his head, looking at his abdomen.

As the illusion was shattered, his Bodhisattva Fruit Position within quietly covered in dense cracks, its golden light visibly dimming.

From having victory in hand to now facing demise.

The entire process was so swift he couldn’t fully react.

Shen Yi had no time to care about a Bodhisattva’s dying mood, having discovered that the opponent was not of demon race origin, his attention was already on the thousand-legged black dragon in the illusion’s hands.

All his fingers, under the golden light, transformed into the sharpest blades, effortlessly piercing into the black locust’s body.

With the force of the great arm, it began tearing the Dragon Demon apart bit by bit until the sound of fabric tearing echoed across the sky, and the entire long dragon split into six, blood plasma pouring like rain, dyeing the sky curtain red!

[Slay the Third Grade Thousand-legged Black Dragon, total lifespan Ten Thousand Tribulations, remaining lifespan eight thousand nine hundred tribulations, absorbed completely]

This old demon wasn’t even older than the Shenxu Ancestor, considered a junior.

Having gained such abundant demon lifespan.

Shen Yi swiftly descended, looking at the Five Directions Bodhisattva staring fixedly at him, not intending to exchange many pleasantries, he skillfully reached inside, decisively retrieving the broken Bodhisattva Fruit Position from his body.

“You… you…”

The Five Directions Bodhisattva finally couldn’t hold back, spitting out a mouthful of blood plasma, wishing to curse despite only having scant life force, but that young man had already turned away, looking up at the sky with dissatisfaction.

“Stop playing, there’s serious business.”

Shen Yi frowned and murmured, then saw a sudden tear open in the sky.

Accompanied by the hoarse laughter of the Shenxu Ancestor, a thousand-legged black dragon fled hastily out, though without lethal injuries, its eyes were frightened and dazed, as if it had lost its soul.

One can’t really blame the Shenxu Ancestor.

After all, with his methods of slaying, it was truly difficult to inflict significant damage on a great demon of the same realm in a short time… of course, though there were no external injuries, the damage to the Divine Soul in that Taixu Realm could be another story.

Though also of the demon race, he was a genuine master of the Great Sect’s Immortal Lineage, not inferior to a Bodhisattva.

“Spare… spare…”

The deep wailing of the black locust hadn’t even finished when six golden fists violently struck its head.

Amid the sound of bones shattering, another rain of blood fell.

Once again having harvested nearly ten thousand tribulations of demon lifespan, Shen Yi was still not satisfied, directly instructing: “Clean up the valley.”

After all, even bits and pieces still count, relying solely on Qinghua was too much of a strain to fully resolve it.

“At your command!”

The Shenxu Ancestor respectfully responded, disappearing again into the Taixu Realm.

Having done all this.

Shen Yi then turned towards the tall figure in the distance.

“…”

Swept by that gaze, the Qi Feng God General suddenly tensed, instinctively taking a defensive stance.

He glanced at the monk beneath the other’s feet, then looked at the two thousand-legged black dragons indistinguishable in original form.

If, during the last occasion at Hongze, the act of forcibly smashing the Tianwu Qingluan into pieces already gave insight, then this scene now further affirmed…

This one is an even more sinister being than those demons suppressed in the valley!

Absolutely not someone from a proper Three Religions background.

And just now, the manner in which this man addressed the Shenxu Ancestor, was clearly that of giving orders, as an Immortal Lineage master, that Insect Demon had accepted without disagreement.

Shen Yi merely stood silently in place, but in the eyes of Qi Feng God General, he gradually became shrouded in mystery.
