Chapter 41: Destroy the Sword Qi and Merit
Chapter 41: Destroy the Sword Qi and Merit
But now that things had come to this, Guangchengzi had no choice but to rush in.
It was fine on the outskirts of the west, Guangchengzi could still feel the breath of life from the east from time to time, but the further he flew to the west, the more he could feel a deep and terrifying murderous aura lingering there.
Beyond the murderous aura, there are also countless deathly auras wandering around like the setting sun.
The murderous aura was so sharp that it could kill even a powerful being who had attained the Great Luo Dao Fruit, and the deathly aura was constantly corroding the heaven and earth, intending to completely destroy this already ruined land.
Upon seeing this, Guangchengzi couldn't help but stop. A fear from the depths of his soul arose, as if he was going to die in this murderous aura. Seeing the murderous aura coming, he was naturally as scared as a mouse seeing a cat.
"The sword energy of Zhu Xian... and the death energy of the West when it is on the verge of death."
Guangchengzi's face was solemn. He did not even use the Xuanhuang Zhongde Flag and the Nanming Liaoyuan Flag. Instead, he directly brought out the Golden Wheel of Merit. Countless golden lights shone out, and infinite light radiated in all directions, illuminating the infinite world and sweeping away all evil spirits.
The palace lanterns in the golden wheel scattered countless lamp flowers, which were like explosions and stars in the sky, immediately covering him completely, protecting him so tightly that not even water could get in.
This was a trick he learned after observing Yuanshi Tianzun's auspicious clouds in the heavens. Although the Eight Scenery Palace Lanterns could not compare to the real auspicious clouds in the heavens, with the blessing of the Golden Wheel of Merit, not many tricks could break it.
These murderous auras are the sword energy of Zhuxian left behind when Luohou fought against the four invincible gods. One sword energy is enough to reap the lives of thousands of Daluo Jinxian. Almost no one can stop it and no one can defeat it.
Even an invincible god like the Yin-Yang Patriarch, who holds the innate treasure Tai Chi diagram, died under the sword energy of Zhuxian and finally turned into Guangchengzi. This shows how powerful it is.
Even though the war between Taoism and demons had ended long ago, Luohou turned into a demon and died, and the Zhuxian Sword Formation was taken away, the Zhuxian sword energy left here had not decreased but increased.
It was because before Luohou died, he was unwilling to perish, so he used forceful means to unleash the maximum power of the Zhuxian Sword Formation, hoping to destroy the entire West and use it to create his own demon world.
In the end, even if a powerful person stepped in to stop it, the West would still be destroyed and half-dead, barely lingering on, and only one breath away from complete destruction.
To this day, the remains of the destroyed West can be found everywhere in the ancient world, which shows how fierce the war was at that time.
As the West lingers on, it will naturally exude the same deathly aura as a dying person.
This kind of deathly aura is not ordinary. It is the unwilling sigh of the heaven and earth on the verge of death. That kind of deep sorrow can pull down the Golden Immortal who has escaped from the long river of fate from the throne of god, and make him sink in this sorrow forever.
The remaining Zhu Xian sword energy was nourished by the death energy and naturally grew stronger and stronger. If it were not for the Heavenly Dao that restrained the birth of spiritual intelligence in these sword energies, they would have turned into evil gods and started to wreak havoc everywhere.
Guangchengzi's predecessor died at the hands of these Zhuxian sword energies, and he felt uncomfortable when he saw them again.
He couldn't help but take the Eight Scenery Palace Lantern in his hand, and blew at one of the Zhuxian sword energies. A beam of fire instantly turned into a dragon, roaring and rushing towards it.
The Zhuxian sword energy was originally still in place, but when the flaming dragon rushed towards it, it suddenly moved. Swish! Swish! Swish!
The sword energy was like a snake, agile and graceful, quiet as a virgin and swift as a rabbit, as if there was a peerless swordsman holding a magic sword and moving around. Even Guangchengzi felt a flash of white light before his eyes, and the fiery dragon was chopped into seven or eight pieces.
The entire dragon was still rushing forward, but white lines appeared on its body. In just an instant, they immediately turned into flames and collapsed, without any ripples.
The sword energy of Zhuxian killed the fiery dragon and returned to its original calm state, staying quietly in the air, always pursuing the breath of life.
Guang Chengzi frowned slightly after seeing this: "Is this Zhu Xian sword energy really that powerful? It has existed for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, and it still has such strength? I don't believe it, come again!"
Thinking of this, he did not continue to use the Eight Scenery Palace Lantern, but reached out from his sleeve and took out a white jade treasure box. There were many gorgeous and exquisite carvings on the box. It was the Yuxu treasure box given to him by Yuanshi Tianzun.
Guangchengzi opened the treasure box in his hand, and a huge suction force instantly enveloped the sword energy. Pulled by this suction force, the sword energy immediately danced again, trying to break it like before.
But the Yuxu Treasure Box is not the Eight Scenery Palace Lantern. This box is a rare treasure for killing in the prehistoric times. If Yuanshi Tianzun had not been impressed by Tongtian, he would probably not have bestowed this treasure so quickly.
The two were in a stalemate for a moment, and finally the sword energy of Zhu Xian was sucked into the treasure box.
Even so, the sword energy was still restless and continued to destroy everything inside, trying to break the treasure box. Unfortunately, the Yuxu treasure box was a rare spiritual treasure in the prehistoric times. How could it be broken so easily?
Guangchengzi shook the treasure box in his hand, and a shrill sword sound suddenly came from the treasure box, like the sound of a divine sword being broken, which made people sad and cry.
But he remained calm and composed, and did not stop until he had completely destroyed the sword energy of Zhu Xian.
"It seems that these Zhu Xian sword energies can still be destroyed. Although they are nourished by the death energy and have not decayed over time, they no longer have the sharp edge that can tear through everything in the world. Otherwise, I would not dare to take one so easily."
Guangchengzi understood in his heart that the sword energy of Zhuxian was beginning to weaken. If it was still the same as at the beginning, he would turn around and leave without saying a word. He would not take the risk even if there were the Innate Five Flags inside.
Unless you can borrow the Celebratory Clouds of the Heavens or the Linglong Pagoda of the Mysterious Heaven and Earth, you will never be able to enter here again.
The Zhuxian Sword Formation is a rare treasure in the prehistoric times that is specifically designed to kill. Just look at the power of the Yuxu Treasure Box, and you will know how murderous this magic weapon is.
The Eight Scenery Palace Lantern is close to the best innate spiritual treasure, but it is still unable to do anything about the sword energy of the Immortal Executioner. However, the Yuxu Treasure Box is clearly only of the top grade, but it can destroy it alive.
Even though this was due to Guangchengzi's lack of magic power, one can still know how terrifying the killing magic treasures are. The Zhuxian Sword Formation is the leader of all killing magic treasures. If it is really the Zhuxian sword energy in its heyday, any one of them can strangle a Daluo Jinxian without any surprise.
Even the West, which was able to nurture countless Golden Immortals, was destroyed by the Zhuxian Sword Formation and became half-dead. This shows how dangerous this place is.
Just as he was about to move forward, a ray of golden light of merit suddenly descended from the sky and quickly merged into the golden wheel of merit behind him, making the golden wheel shine even brighter. He couldn't help but be a little surprised.
