Chapter 436 The Sword Formation Reappears
Michael gazed at the regularly rotating blue star, his bright golden eyes gradually focusing.
Faintly, specks of scarlet seemed to emerge from the sky above Daxia.
In less than three breaths, the scarlet light spots suddenly increased dramatically. Looking around, the gradually converging scarlet looked like a patch of brown spots on a deep blue curtain.
"So many? Has something happened in Great Xia?"
Just as He involuntarily got up, wanting to get a better look,
Strange tremors suddenly appeared on the surface of the moon.
"Plop——!"
"Plop——!!"
"Hmph!" Michael snorted coldly, pressing the holy sword stuck in front of him down a third of the way with his palms.
Accompanied by mournful howls, the lunar surface returned to calm once more.
"At this rate, it's only a matter of time before the Cthulhu pantheon is completely free. It seems... I need to start planning ahead..."
"Lord...please give me the right guidance..."
Pulling his thoughts back, Michael sighed softly and sat down cross-legged on the spot.
With the seal on the moon weakening, even if He wanted to set out to support Great Xia, He probably wouldn't be able to.
During his time back on the moon, Michael spent every moment repairing the broken seals on the lunar surface.
Even if He can replenish Himself through the power of miracles, each of those divine power belts consumes only a small amount of His original power.
Before the seal is fully formed, it seems He will never be able to leave this place...
.........
Summer.
Chennan Pass.
The 'Void Gate' suspended in the sky had lost its light under the indiscriminate devouring of the Black Goat cubs, and it showed signs of shattering.
As divine power was injected, countless scarlet hematomas on the wings of the cubs expanded and burst open at an astonishing speed.
Just then, a strange fluctuation suddenly emanated from the dilapidated door that was about to collapse.
Immediately afterwards, a pure white sword light flashed out from the 'empty gate' and rushed straight towards the territory of the Great Xia.
Upon seeing this, Lingbao Tianzun, who was resisting the impact of the Ke-type 'mystery', was overjoyed.
Because He sensed the fluctuations of the Heavenly Court's origin within that sword light!
"Go back quickly, I will defend against those disgusting things!"
Hearing that familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Li Jie, whose vision was gradually clearing, couldn't help but look down.
Above the sea, a fat Taoist priest wearing a chaotic Taoist robe was struggling to resist the 'mysterious' impact filled with the source of evil!
What's going on?!
Li Jie, who had just returned to Daxia, did not know what had happened here, but judging from the current situation...
After I left, the southwestern border of the Great Xia Dynasty must have been attacked by another powerful divine realm.
Is it Zeus?
Why didn't we see Him?
Li Jie looked into the distance, following the overwhelming Tai Chi Bagua diagram.
Aside from the eerie 'mystery' of the sky filled with crimson light, no other deities were found.
With his thoughts back to normal, Li Jie did not hesitate for long. He controlled the sword energy and led the Heavenly Court towards the territory of the Great Xia, while he himself chose to stay where he was.
"what is this?"
Just as he arrived beside Lingbao Tianzun, he asked in a deep voice.
"It's a young of the [Black Goat]..."
"The puppet 'Zeus' brought this beast into the territory of Great Xia, and He Himself, along with six Olympian gods, became sacrifices to summon the young 'Black Goat'..."
"Did you see the 'empty gate'?" Following Lingbao Tianzun's words, Li Jie looked up and gazed into the distance.
The Indian supreme artifact 'Kuanmen', which had previously radiated a brilliant golden Buddhist light, was now a pile of ruins, turning into specks of ashes and falling into the depths of the sea.
"The supreme divine power it contains has become nourishment for the young [Black Goats], and they continue to reproduce..."
"If we don't get rid of them all at once..."
“Then the number of their offspring will be astronomical.” Before Lingbao Tianzun could finish speaking, Li Jie replied in a deep voice.
"I'll handle things here. You have more important things to do."
"Can you manage all of this by yourself?"
“It can be done.” With that, Li Jie took out the blue hairpin that the Celestial Venerable of Morality had given him from his pocket.
“The Primordial Heavenly Venerable is seriously injured, the Moral Heavenly Venerable is undergoing a heavenly tribulation, cracks have appeared in the origin of the Heavenly Court, and the gods of the Great Xia are asleep. The two of us alone will definitely not be able to turn the tide of the battle.”
"Our only hope now is to repair the Heavenly Court's origin as soon as possible and bring the Great Xia God back from his slumber. I don't belong to the Great Xia God's hierarchy, so you're the only one capable of repairing the Heavenly Court's origin in a short time... Fatty..."
Upon hearing the last two words, a flicker of panic finally surfaced in Lingbao Tianzun's usually calm eyes.
In truth, He knew very well that after His 'true self' returned, He was no longer that naive, rich, chubby boy.
But for some reason, when Li Jie said the word "Fatty," He felt a strange pang of pain in His heart.
"I understand. Here, take this Ruyi." With that, Lingbao Tianzun raised his right hand and handed the jade Ruyi to Li Jie.
"With it, you can keep the Bagua diagram running. Putting aside everything else, keeping those disgusting things out is a piece of cake."
"I will handle the matter concerning the Heavenly Court's origin as soon as possible. This place... I'll leave it to you."
Upon hearing this, Li Jie nodded slightly and accepted the jade ruyi that emitted a grayish-white light.
Although he had decided to unleash the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to annihilate the black goat cubs besieging the southwestern border of the Great Xia Dynasty, the four sword spirits were asleep, and it would still take him some time to set up this number one killing formation of the Heavenly Dao by himself.
Therefore, he did not refuse Lingbao Tianzun's kindness.
"Brother Lei..."
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this familiar address, Li Jie subconsciously replied.
"Promise me you'll come back alive..." With that, Lingbao Tianzun transformed into a streak of light and sped off in the direction where the Heavenly Court had disappeared.
Li Jie stood there motionless for a moment, then smiled and murmured his reply.
"Don't worry, I've never let you down!"
"alright......."
After saying that, Li Jie lightly touched the ground with his toes, turned around, and gracefully landed on the ancient blade of the Zhuxian Sword.
"Next, it's time to deal with you... disgusting things!"
Then, he tossed the jade ruyi lightly with his right hand, suspending it in mid-air.
At the same time, the three immortal swords hidden in the sword-nurturing gourd flew out one after another, joined the Immortal-Slaying Sword, and stood upright beside Li Jie, radiating a chilling light.
He held the Taoist hairpin in his hand, made a hand seal with one hand, and spoke out a loud decree of amnesty!
"In the name of the Sword Master, I hereby decree that the Four Swords of Zhuxian shall be stationed in all directions to slay demons and vanquish evil!"
The amnesty decree was issued.
The four immortal swords hanging beside Li Jie shone brightly.
Immediately afterwards, the Immortal-Trapping Sword, enveloped in a deep red light, spun around, and a spatial rift about three meters wide suddenly appeared behind Li Jie.
Just as the crack gradually solidified, the four immortal swords disappeared into it one after another.
At the same time, outside the territory torn apart by the Tai Chi Bagua formation, at the edge of the rapidly surging crimson 'mysterious' race, four azure spatial rifts suddenly exploded.
Ding--!
Accompanied by the crisp sound of a sword's cry.
Four celestial swords, radiating a lustrous sheen, revealed themselves from the spatial rift and trembled violently as they hovered in mid-air.
A flash of seven-colored light, and soon after, four pillars of sword energy, carrying endless killing intent, shot into the sky.
In just a short while, the writhing 'mysterious' race was trapped within a square barrier.
"Wow—!"
Just as the square barrier was fully formed, the crimson beasts, which had been squeezed to the edge, seemed to sense a deadly crisis and scattered in all directions with screams.
Unfortunately, due to the rapid reproduction of the alien beasts at the center of the array, the space inside the barrier was compressed rapidly. Although they frantically tried to burrow towards the center of the array, they were still pushed to the edge of the barrier by the newly born scarlet alien beasts.
The moment they came into contact with the square barrier formed by the four immortal swords, they were instantly shredded into a pile of minced meat by the sharp sword energy fluctuations.
"call........"
After successfully trapping the Black Goat cub within the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, Li Jie's expression did not lighten; instead, it became even more solemn.
Last time, in order to destroy Chaos who had possessed 'Odin', he had already used himself as a catalyst to forcibly unleash this first killing formation of the Heavenly Dao.
Although the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is extremely strong, even Chaos cannot withstand it, the price Li Jie has to pay is equally enormous.
Not to mention that he will become a cripple in a short period of time, he will need to spend a lot of time and effort to repair the marks on the Great Dao caused by his excessive killing intent.
With this thought in mind, Li Jie looked down at the hairpin he was holding in his hand.
The Celestial Venerable said that this thing can block one instance of karmic retribution, but it's unknown whether it can withstand it...
In fact, he didn't know what the consequences would be if he used the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation again before the traces of the Great Dao completely dissipated.
But in order to completely wipe out the Black Goat cubs that have appeared within the Great Xia territory, it seems there is no other way now...
Pulling himself back to his senses, Li Jie simply gathered up the stray white hairs on his forehead and tied them up high with a cyan hairpin.
After a moment, he took a deep breath and calmly watched the square barrier that was about to be filled with the scarlet beast.
“Array…”
"rise!"
With the sound falling.
Golden glints floated out from the four immortal swords arranged around the array diagram.
As the sword energy surged, hundreds of crimson-gold runes burst forth from the four towering pillars of light, neatly arranged outside the square barrier.
After the crimson-gold runes connected end to end, Li Jie slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and his figure flashed as he stepped into the air and flew away.
Just as his figure appeared above the square barrier.
The profound true energy within the Qi Sea surged forth without reservation.
At the same time, Li Jie made a hand seal with one hand, and countless sword shadows flew erratically within the square barrier.
With each flash of sword energy, countless scarlet beasts screamed as they were chopped into pieces of flesh.
"town!"
As soon as he finished speaking, fine cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the blue hairpin that was tied to his hair ornament.
Within the sword formation, the crimson-gold seal script suddenly contracted under the blessing of the power of the Heavenly Dao.
Immediately afterwards, the shrill screams within the square barrier formed by the four swords of Zhuxian came to an abrupt end.
After a brief period of stillness, the surrounding space suddenly compressed to the size of a mustard seed.
The disordered sword energy that was wandering in the sword formation suddenly exploded, annihilating all the heretical creatures within the barrier into nothingness.
Saucy!
A gentle sea breeze was blowing.
Peace has returned to the southwestern coastal territory of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Is it over...?"
Li Jie stared blankly at the faint light emerging through the thick clouds and murmured to himself.
"Well......."
Immediately afterwards, a sharp pain shot through my mind, and the feeling of powerlessness caused by the depletion of my Qi Sea swept over my entire body.
At that very moment, the cyan hairpin, covered with fine cracks, which was tied to the hair ornament, completely lost its lustrous sheen and turned into specks of ashes within a few breaths, disappearing into the world.
Without the support of his true energy, Li Jie, whose consciousness was fading, plummeted towards the surface of the sea like a bird with broken wings.
Just as he was about to plunge into the sea, a figure enveloped in cyan flames sped towards him from above Chennan Pass.
Just as Zuo Qing was about to reach out and catch Li Jie as he fell, a loud shout suddenly came from mid-air.
"Don't touch him!"
The charred-black Taoist deity stepped forward, and with a flick of his two fingers, the half-broken peach wood sword caught Li Jie's falling body.
At the same time, a bluish-purple tinge appeared on the already pale face of the Celestial Venerable of Morality.
"Young Li... it seems this old Taoist has a deep connection with you. Last time I couldn't bear the karmic consequences for you, but this time there's no escaping it..."
At this point, a wry smile appeared on the lips of the Moral Celestial.
"Zuo Qing, I'll take care of him. You'll be in charge of cleaning up the mess at Chennan Pass."
"I respectfully obey the Heavenly Lord's decree."
"What amnesty or not? I don't do that stuff. You'd better get back to what you're doing."
Seeing Zuo Qing's serious expression, the Moral Celestial Venerable curled his lip and waved his hand in annoyance.
Then, carrying the unconscious Li Jie and the four immortal swords that had lost their luster, he flew towards the direction of the Heavenly Court.
"With Lingbao back, perhaps that guy will have a way to heal damage to the Great Dao..."
.........
Olympus.
In the hazy, gray fog.
Seven figures emerged from the clouds and knelt on one knee atop the sacred mountain.
A flash of crimson light appeared, and a gigantic four-legged creature with wings on its back stood proudly in front of the seven people.
As the fog gradually dissipated and visibility improved, the fog lifted.
Led by Zeus, the seven Olympian gods who had just been devoured by the scarlet beast reappeared atop the sacred mountain.
"The operation failed... The power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation remains undiminished..."
"The Three Pure Ones are severely injured... the Master of the Immortal Execution Sword is in slumber... attacking Great Xia at this time... the success rate... is 100%..."
"Permission granted..."
