Chapter 340 Battle of the Heavens
Golden light filled the sky, and the chanting of Buddhist hymns filled the air.
That was not a compassionate sermon, but rather carried a heavy, oppressive force capable of crushing the soul.
"It was actually the Venerable Monk Kongxing who made a move."
Among the cultivators watching the battle from the horizon, an old man in a gray robe murmured softly, his voice hoarse.
The surrounding chatter surged like a tide, but was suppressed by the overwhelming golden light.
"One of the three legendary monks of Vajra Temple. His body refinement cultivation has reached the late stage of the fourth level, and he has mastered all four of Vajra Temple's supernatural powers."
"He is one of the top figures in this world. His combat strength is extremely high."
Some people gasped, their eyes fixed on the golden figure suspended high in the sky, their expressions a mixture of awe and fear.
"Doesn't that mean the demon of Qingfeng Ridge is in danger this time?"
"Qingfeng Ridge is about to suffer a great calamity."
Several high-level cultivators who were watching quickly exchanged glances, and the escape light beneath their feet retreated silently.
When gods fight, mortals suffer. At the late Nascent Soul stage, even a slight aftershock is enough to cause the physical body of an ordinary early Nascent Soul cultivator to disintegrate.
Legends about emptiness have been circulating in the cultivation world for a long time, but few people have actually witnessed it.
Someone dug up an old calendar: "The last time the Venerable Master Kongxing made a move was 150 years ago."
That was a brutal battle that was recorded in the sect's secret annals.
On the shores of the East Sea, a late-stage fourth-tier dragon demon beast wreaked havoc, devouring countless lives. Kongxing went alone, without using any magical treasures, relying solely on his physical body to fight the dragon.
"annihilated in an instant."
There were quite a few powerful cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage present at the time.
They still remember the scene: the golden fist smashed the dragon's proud scales, and hammered the giant beast, which was capable of overturning rivers and seas, to death on the surface of the sea.
Blood stained the vast sea, but the robes of the monk Kongxing remained untouched by a speck of dust.
The power of that Vajra Body Tempering technique still sends chills down the spines of the other cultivators present. They knew they couldn't withstand such a punch if they were in that position.
Just when everyone thought that Qingfeng Ridge would be removed from the list today, the sky suddenly darkened.
A cold, eerie light approached from afar at an astonishing speed, tearing through the air and accompanied by a piercing shriek.
The Mysterious Yin Fairy has arrived.
The light dissipated, revealing her aloof figure. She hovered above Qingfeng Ridge, her black dress fluttering in the wind.
The once lush and verdant back mountain is now a mess. The light screen of the mountain-protecting array has long been broken, and the remaining array bases flicker with a faint spiritual light.
Several cave dwellings collapsed, the spiritual veins were severed by the immense force, and the pure spiritual energy was leaking out wildly.
Upon seeing this scene, the originally indifferent eyes of Fairy Xuanyin instantly turned frosty.
She didn't immediately lash out; instead, she quietly looked down, her fingertips lightly rubbing her cuffs. It was an unconscious gesture she made only when she was extremely angry.
At that moment, the temperature above Qingfeng Ridge seemed to plummet to freezing point.
Xuan Yin Fairy slowly raised her head, her gaze piercing through the void, directly targeting the dazzling golden light.
"Fine, you Vajra Temple, you empty-minded monk."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it clearly penetrated the ears of everyone present, carrying a chilling aura.
"Previously, your temple's abbot Xuan Hui destroyed my mountain gate; you promised to compensate me with a large amount of resources, but not only did you not pay, you also destroyed my cave and damaged my spiritual veins without even asking what happened."
With each word spoken by the Fairy of Mysterious Yin, the black demonic energy around her intensified, churning and surging behind her, vaguely transforming into a ferocious demonic head.
"Is this how your Vajra Temple behaves? Do you really think that no one in the Great Green Cultivation World can deal with you?"
The questioning voice was like a thunderclap, causing rocks below to tumble down.
High in the sky, the golden light receded slightly, revealing an old monk with a withered face.
He held one hand up, his eyes lowered, seemingly oblivious to the anger of the Mysterious Yin Fairy.
"Amitabha."
A Buddhist chant calmed the turbulent spiritual energy, but it couldn't quell the tense atmosphere in the arena.
The monk Kongxing slightly raised his eyelids, his cloudy eyes revealing an undeniable domineering aura: "Benefactor Xuanyin, our Buddhist sect possesses two precious relics. One was lost within your Qingfeng Ridge territory, and the other was forcibly taken by you, which you refuse to return."
He paused, his tone turning cold: "My disciple Yuanzhen died mysteriously outside after leaving your Qingfeng Ridge. These events are all inextricably linked to your Qingfeng Ridge."
The surrounding cultivators were completely confused, with only a very few who knew the truth showing slight changes in their expressions.
The monk Kongxing did not produce any recording stone or witnesses; he simply looked calmly at Fairy Xuanyin, as if he were stating an established fact.
"Some things are known only to you and me, so we don't need to talk about evidence. Let's see what happens."
This statement caused an uproar in the room.
This is the confidence of major sects. No evidence is needed, only suspicion. If I believe you did it, then you did it.
Xuan Yin Fairy was so angry that she laughed, a cold and sarcastic laugh.
"So when you can't reason with people, you just say it's only heaven and earth, you and I who know, and you want to take action by force. Your Vajra Temple is truly domineering."
She suddenly flicked her sleeve, and black demonic flames shot into the sky, turning half the sky inky black.
"Very well! Then today I shall witness just how extraordinary the Four Great Supernatural Powers of the Vajra Temple truly are!"
Before she finished speaking, Fairy Xuanyin had already transformed into a black streak of light, not attacking Kongxing, but rushing straight into the sky.
Seeing this, the monk Kongxing also transformed into a golden light and followed closely behind, chasing after it from afar.
The two streaks of light were as fast as lightning, piercing through the clouds in the blink of an eye and disappearing from everyone's sight.
The escape techniques of the late Nascent Soul stage are simply beyond the reach of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
The people below looked at each other, then breathed a sigh of relief in unison.
This world could not withstand the shockwaves of a major battle between late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
If a fight were to break out here, the area within a hundred miles would likely be reduced to wasteland, and these onlookers would also perish along with it.
Battles between cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage are generally considered to extend to the Six Heavens.
That place is the boundary between heaven and earth, where fierce winds rage, and extraterrestrial firestones and soul-corroding rain fall from time to time.
Ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators would struggle just to withstand the environment there, let alone gain a foothold, let alone observe the battles of Nascent Soul Grandmasters.
Even so, the temptation remains immense.
Observing a battle between great cultivators can have immeasurable benefits for one's own understanding of the Great Dao.
Several powerful auras soared into the sky.
Among the few cultivators at the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, after weighing the pros and cons, they could not suppress their inner desires and went to the Six Heavens alone.
Among them, a golden light shone particularly brightly; it belonged to a high-ranking official of the Vajra Temple.
On the other side, the head cultivator of the second branch of the Ji family also summoned his magic weapon and followed closely behind.
On the edge of the crowd.
Chen Yi stood with his hands behind his back, gazing intently at the two remaining trails in the sky, and said to Ning Bu'er beside him.
"Let's go, we'll go too."
Two beams of light shot into the sky.
Despite having gained sufficient confidence in Xuan Yin Fairy's demonic flame abilities after ten years of intensive training, the battlefield is ever-changing, and to be on the safe side, he must witness it firsthand.
Following the residual fluctuations of golden light and demonic flames, Chen Yi and Ning Bu'er arrived at the Six Heavens, lagging behind the ancestor of the second branch of the Ji family.
The moment you step into this world, a violent tearing force rushes towards you.
The fierce winds here are like countless invisible blades slicing wildly through the space.
The fire of the sun was scorching, and meteorites with long trails of flame would occasionally streak across the sky, distorting the air with heat.
If an ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator doesn't have a powerful protective treasure, their magical power will be greatly depleted if they stay here for even a single breath.
Chen Yi remained calm, his internal energy flowing, and a faint golden light emanated from his body.
"rise."
He gave a low shout and activated the Vajra Shield.
That was not an ordinary defensive spell, but a modified version that incorporated his Vajra Body Refining Technique.
A golden light barrier steadily opened, enveloping him and Ning Bu'er within it.
Despite the howling winds and falling sparks outside, the area inside the light barrier remained calm and serene.
In terms of defensive capabilities alone, Chen Yi's casual display was already no weaker than the mana shields of the several Nascent Soul stage peak giants present. This scene did attract the attention of some onlookers.
The two hovered in the distance, their gazes fixed on the center of the battlefield.
At this moment, Fairy Xuanyin and Monk Kongxing had already clashed.
Amidst the deafening roar of heaven and earth, the originally chaotic Six Heavens were forcibly split in two.
On the left, golden light shone brightly, like the sun in the sky, exuding an extremely strong and masculine, invincible and domineering aura;
On the right, demonic flames surged, pitch black as ink, emanating an eerie aura of extreme yin and cold, capable of eroding all things.
The power of Vajra and the black demonic flames collided wildly in the air, each impact causing the space to tremble and creating visible ripples.
The originally raging gales and celestial fire were as fragile as ants in the face of these two forces, and were smashed to pieces, turning into countless fireflies, which further exacerbated the chaos in this area.
Chen Yi narrowed his eyes, his pupils reflecting the distant battle situation.
The Mysterious Yin Fairy moved.
She gestured with one hand, and her purple robes fluttered in the strong wind.
There weren't many fancy movements; as she pointed her finger, the terrifying Nine Yin Demon Flames around her seemed to come alive.
呜—
A chilling wailing sound echoed through the sky.
The Nine Yin Demon Flame, carrying the aura of the Nine Nether Abyss, transformed into long black dragons, roaring ferociously and carrying a poisonous corrosive power, as they madly charged towards the Empty Spirit Monk opposite them.
Wherever the flames passed, even the void sizzled, as if they were being burned through.
Faced with this overwhelming offensive, the monk Kongxing remained solemn and dared not be careless in the slightest.
He formed hand seals with lightning speed and uttered a syllable that sounded ancient and astringent.
"Duh!"
Golden runes flew out of his body and quickly arranged themselves in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, he waved his right hand, and the void trembled violently.
Three enormous golden fingers materialized out of thin air.
Those fingers were hundreds of feet long, with clearly visible fingerprints, as if they were cast from solid gold, exuding a terrifying aura that suppressed everything.
One of the four great supernatural powers of Vajra Temple is the Vajra Imprisoning Heaven Finger!
But what Chen Yi had seen before was not only stronger than a single finger, but also three fingers in a row, forming a three-in-one formation.
The empty-minded monk flicked his fingers repeatedly.
boom! boom! boom!
The enormous golden finger danced nimbly in the air, precisely striking the incoming Nine Yin Demon Flame.
Each strike unleashed a blinding flash of light.
The demonic flames, powerful enough to corrode even high-grade magic treasures, were actually repelled by this pure power, turning into a rain of fire that scattered across the sky.
After deflecting the demonic flames, the three golden fingers continued their momentum, suddenly closing together in mid-air to transform into a gigantic golden hand that blotted out the sky, locking onto the true form of the Xuan Yin Fairy and slamming down with unparalleled power!
Above the sky, golden light cascaded down like a waterfall.
The three towering golden fingers did not fall directly, but hovered in mid-air, their golden tips emitting light and their energy interconnected.
The knuckles are as thick as mountains, and the grooves of the fingerprints flow with a dark gold light like lava. The three fingers are arranged in a triangular shape, forming a strict cage in the void.
Chen Yi narrowed his eyes, the golden light reflected deep within his pupils.
This is not a simple finger technique; it is clearly a perfect fusion of some kind of array formation and physical cultivation supernatural power.
The three fingers form a unique angle, their energy constantly flowing, far surpassing Xuan Hui's straightforward, mid-stage fourth-order finger power.
He secretly pondered, gently rubbing his index finger knuckle with his right thumb.
When he assassinated Yuanzhen, the finger force transformed from the spine of the Vajra Ape that he devoured was, in terms of sheer strength, perhaps comparable to a single finger of this old monk before him.
But if all three fingers are extended simultaneously, coupled with the vaguely forming Three Powers Formation—
Even though he has refined all the remaining Vajra Ape spines, with his current Vajra Kung Fu skills, he would likely suffer a great loss in a head-on confrontation.
This old monk is indeed quite something.
"Demon Flame Devours Spirits!"
A cold, low shout interrupted Chen Yi's thoughts.
The Fairy of Mysterious Yin raised her delicate hand, and strange black runes pulsed wildly in her palm.
The once clear sky instantly darkened.
A chilling aura of destruction erupted from her body; it was not the heat of flames, but an extreme chill and hunger.
Huhu—
Black flames suddenly rose up, devoid of any heat, yet they engulfed even the surrounding light.
The raging demonic flames transformed into a black tsunami, roaring as it swept towards the three giant Vajra fingers.
Sizzle sizzle—
The sickening corrosive sound echoed through the sky.
The black demonic flames, like a leech, frantically gnawed at the protective divine light on the surface of the golden finger.
The once brilliant golden light became mottled and fragmented under the erosion of the demonic flames, with golden dust flying everywhere and dissipating into the air as specks of spiritual light.
The once invincible Vajra Imprisoning Heaven Finger was actually defeated by the waves of demonic flames, and even tiny pits appeared on the surface of the finger.
The monk Kongxing stood on the cloud, looking down at the churning sea of demons, but his face showed no panic.
He smiled slightly and formed a strange hand seal in front of his chest.
"Buzz!"
A deep, muffled hum emanated from his body, like a resounding bell exploding in everyone's ears.
The void behind him distorted, and a blurry black-gold dharma image flashed by.
Fudo Myo-o!
As the incantation was activated, pure, dark golden ripples emanated from his body, instantly empowering his three shaky giant fingers.
The originally dim golden light suddenly surged, no longer a dazzling bright gold, but turned into a calm and heavy dark gold color.
An aura of Taoism, impervious to all laws and indestructible, spread out.
The buzzing sound stopped abruptly.
No matter how fiercely the black demonic flames attacked, the dark golden finger remained unmoved. Instead, as the golden light swirled, it gradually forced back the surrounding demonic flames.
Chen Yi's gaze suddenly froze.
The supernatural powers of Acala and the indestructible essence of Vajra —
The old monk actually crushed these two completely different powers and forcibly poured them into the Vajra Imprisoning Heaven Finger.
The three supernatural powers are combined into one!
This is no longer a simple case of one plus one equals two. The quality of this power has exceeded the scope of ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul supernatural abilities and has touched upon a higher threshold.
