Chapter 256 161, A Group of Demon Cultivators_2
With every step he took, golden clouds transformed into lotuses to support him.
Lotuses sprang forth with each step!
"When wielding the sword alone, one first perceives the vastness of heaven and earth,"
"Only by sleeping through the ages does one realize that eternal life is necessary."
"Water strikes three thousand miles east; the great roc ascends through the ninth heaven with the wind."
"Longing for the immortal path from afar, I lament the end of times, for my cultivation always startles."
"Tan Shuchang, I have seen various fellow Daoists."
The figure emerging from the clouds then became clearly visible, his eyes sparkling like stars, his face smooth as warm jade, and his dark robe fluttering in the wind. Upon it were myriad faces, visible yet hidden, neither crying nor laughing, as if revealing all the emotions of living beings.
The overwhelming pressure from five hundred years of cultivation descended from the sky, causing the heavens and the earth to solemnify!
"Tan Shuchang, we have had no grievances in the distant past and no enmities in recent days, so why do you strike against us?" the ancestor of Western Tuo Mountain angrily queried, although they indeed intended to strike Tan Shuchang before they descended from the Lower Realm; however, having witnessed his Star Fate Divine Skills, they naturally suppressed that idea for the time being.
"As a disciple of the Sacred Gate, if I need a reason to strike, wouldn't it be better to change allegiances and join the true path?" Tan Shuchang calmly responded immediately upon hearing this.
This reply naturally astonished all the ancestors who had descended to the Jiawu Realm.
They did not expect Tan Shuchang's response to be so forthright!
"Fellow Daoist is indeed formidable as the younger generation!" exclaimed an ancestor from Sword Disciple Mountain, who was now completely without injuries.
His name was Gu Xuanyi, the mightiest ancestor of Sword Disciple Mountain.
Among the cultivators with three proofs, he was rare in his ability to withstand an attack from a Righteous True Immortal of Earthly Slaughter without dying.
Among the ancestors of Sword Disciple Mountain, two had mastered the Nameless Dharma Decree, one of whom was this Gu Xuanyi.
Not only was his talent in the Sword Dao exceptional, but his abilities in other areas were also formidable. If he had not ascended following a fortuitous opportunity three hundred years ago after obtaining his three proofs, which consequently severed his route to true immortality, Gu Xuanyi would have surely become an immortal by now!
Upon hearing this praise, Tan Shuchang just smiled slightly, seemingly very pleased with the compliment, but at the moment his lips curved slightly upwards, he promptly took action.
As a disciple of the Sacred Gate, striking unexpectedly was a key principle.
Heavenly fire fell, and wind and snow intermixed, instantly dividing the entire battlefield, which stretched over millions of miles, making this scene extraordinarily terrifying!
Melting rock and flowing gold! Continuous heavy snow!
However, Tan Shuchang was well aware that these could not trouble these ancestors, as after all, they were not ordinary cultivators with one proof. It was only because the heavens didn't allow it that they could only exhibit the cultivation of one proof for the time being.
Thus, as Tan Shuchang stepped into the stream of time, the Divine Skills of the Vernal Equinox were also deployed.
Instantly, these ancestors were disrupted, unable to manifest their Dharma Realms.
And at that moment, the stream of time Tan Shuchang transformed into sliced past these people's figures.
All beings tremble at its mention.
"Secluded Spring Blood Demon?"
Tan Shuchang chuckled lightly, neither confirming nor denying, but took advantage of the great turmoil in the ancestors' minds to dispatch blood shadow incarnations from the Blood Pool, and from the void all around, even more "Blood Gods" appeared.
As soon as the blood shadow incarnations appeared, they employed the "Transcendence Bodily Form" Divine Skill, transforming into huge blood-colored human forms, carrying various Divine Skills to suppress their foes.
Seeing this, the remaining three sects' ancestors did not hesitate to summon the spirit treasures they had left in the Jiawu Realm.
Particularly Guan He Western Tuo Mountain, these two sects' ancestors intended to summon the Lotus Tower and Long Guan to counter the enemy.
Both were unparalleled treasures that they would have surely taken to the Land of the Four Pillars, had they been able to, rather than leaving them as neglected treasures in the Jiawu Realm.
However, upon trying, these two sects' ancestors were shocked to find that the Lotus Tower and Long Guan could not respond to them.
And during this moment of stupor, they were surrounded by the blood shadow incarnations and the "Blood Gods."
At the same time, the murky aura of heaven and earth spread out again!
In an instant, thunder roared incessantly, and when all settled, only five men from Sword Disciple Mountain were left standing, the other ancestors all perished, their bodies falling into the Blood Pool.
Gu Xuanyi and the other four were terrified beyond measure, never expecting that so many triple-certified cultivators descending from the lower realm would all fall here.
Immediately, they planned to flee the Jiawu Realm.
But at that moment, a long-hidden heavenly decree struck down in an instant!
A stalk of wheat shimmered brilliantly, scattering speckles of golden light, enabling a young girl holding the sword of heaven to unleash the full might of this heavenly decree.
And after this heavenly decree, only Gu Xuanyi remained.
This man was indeed the strongest in Sword Disciple Mountain, surviving two waves of star fate counterattacks without losing his life. Even the sudden heavenly decree could only wound him.
Gu Xuanyi looked hatefully at the sword-wielding young girl but did not dare to linger.
However, his attempt to flee resulted in his immediate death.
For the long-hiding Secluded Spring Blood Demon seized the opportunity to strike, instantly killing Gu Xuanyi.
Then, the Secluded Spring Blood Demon planned a rapid escape.
Knowing he was no match for Tan Shuchang, he would not have made a move if not for Tan Shuchang having expended quite a bit of energy, and Gu Xuanyi's fresh blood being too tempting. Now that he had refined Gu Xuanyi's blood, it was wise for him to leave as soon as possible.
"Secluded Spring friend?"
Upon seeing this Blood Demon, Tan Shuchang could not help but show a delighted expression, immediately revealing his Undying Blood Form. Boundless blood radiated from within him, illuminating the heavens and earth and causing the Secluded Spring Blood Demon to tumble out of the void.
Seeing Tan Shuchang in this form, even the Secluded Spring Blood Demon was shocked and blurted out, "What kind of thing are you to become an essence like this?"
After all, even he, as the sole True Immortal born from the Blood Spring, couldn't transform into a pool of blood like Tan Shuchang!
