Shi Feiyang circled around to the Southwest Kun Land, where from a distance, appeared to be an ordinary temple architecture with its white walls, red tiles, and carved beams and painted rafters. Only the lamps on top of the walls and the roof burned brightly.
As he drew nearer, the architecture became increasingly blurred until finally, all of the buildings disappeared, leaving only the lamps that burned brighter and brighter, like demons growing excited at the approach of food.
Suddenly, the lamps began to move, flickering and floating in the darkness, as if they were Soul-Attracting Lamps from hell, beckoning the dead to hurry forward.
The surroundings turned into suffocating darkness, all closed off, with only the areas where the lamps shone offering a way out.
By this time, Shi Feiyang had entered the Demon Formation and realized that this formation was capable of confounding Yin Yang, inverting the Five Elements, and not only was space twisted and deformed, but also divination was restricted. No matter how he deduced the situation, it all seemed a chaotic mess.
He dared not be careless and took out the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Ruler, waving it casually to release a thousand feet of purple Qi.
These concepts of Yin Yang, Five Elements, and Eight Diagrams have been used since the time of Emperor Fuxi to calculate astronomy and establish calendars, summarizing the laws of the universe. The Eight Diagrams, superimposed upon each other, gave rise to the Sixty-Four Trigrams, and the order in which these trigrams were arranged was intentional.
During the Xia Dynasty, situated in the Luoyang Basin, surrounded by mountains used as a coordinate system to measure the rise and fall of the sun, moon, and five planets, the trigrams started with the Gen Trigram, which represents mountains; two mountains superimposed are called Lianshan, and the sequence that came out was Lianshan Yi.
By the time of the Shang Dynasty, upon the Hebei Plain, where the land stretched as far as the eye could see, rich and fertile for thousands of miles, they took the Kun Trigram as the leader. The Kun Trigram symbolizes earth, with earth below earth, all things are hidden; thus, the sequence that emerged was Guicang Yi.
Once the Zhou Dynasty was established with its capital in the Northwest, a land where dragons thrived, they honored the Qian Trigram. Two trigrams superimposed, with heavens beyond heavens, led to the sequence that became the Zhou Yi.
Shi Feiyang instructed Jiang Shu to take the Hunyuan Umbrella and enter from the Northeast Gen Position, using the sequence of Lianshan Yi to deduce and break through the formation, while he himself entered from the Southwest Kun Position, using the sequence of Guicang Yi to break the formation.
With the Guicang Yi taking the earth-representative Kun Trigram as the leader, the thousand feet of purple Qi fell to the ground beneath his feet, then spread like a flood in all directions.
Originally, the space was distorted into a net-like shape with a radius of several dozen acres, changing at any time according to the actions of the people inside. Now as the Hongmeng Purple Qi spread along the ground in all directions, the spatial calculations within the formation were immediately suppressed, unable to change or operate.
"Hehe..."
Creepy laughter came from the surrounding darkness, and the lamps that meant to lead him astray came back, circling around his body. Among them, four flames were the largest, each leading the other smaller flames to surround him on all four sides, front, back, left, and right. Suddenly, they blazed fiercely, and from within the flames, four Demon Gods emerged.
The bodies of the Demon Gods grew taller and taller as if inflated with breath, quickly reaching over a hundred feet high. They all looked fierce and terrible: some with blue faces and red hair, some with green faces and white hair, some with dozens of eyes clustered on their faces, densely packed on their foreheads and cheeks, emitting beams of Demon Light when they blinked; others with many arms as soft as an octopus's tentacles; while some had mouths filled with sharp fangs...
The four Demon Gods simultaneously breathed out intense flames, like a breach in the Heavenly River, pouring down madly from above, while the smaller flames around them also multiplied, each spitting out colorful Demonic Flames. All of the Demon Fires aimed at the center, intent on burning Shi Feiyang.
Shi Feiyang waved the Jade Ruler, forming three Golden Flowers above his head. The Golden Flowers bloomed, and from the heart of the flowers, streams of Golden Radiance sprayed out. The falling radiance protected his entire body.
This Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Ruler was a Demon Refining Treasure used by Guang Chengzi in ancient times, with a specific effect against Evil Demons. With Three Flowers Covering the Top, guarding his physical form and spirit, even though he was in the midst of a sea of fire, his Primordial Qi was unharmed.
He could see that these four Demon Gods were only illusions, likely conjured by the Demon-Subduing Monk through sacrificial refinement, and empowered by the formation, hence the impressive display.
He released the Three Yangs One Qi Sword, transforming into three strands of seven-colored rainbow light that connected end to end and sped off swiftly, grinding one of the Demon Gods into scattered Demon Light. These streams of Demon Light gathered once again into countless lamps, continuously striking his protective Golden Radiance, causing ripples.
Untouched by fear, he used the Flying Sword to disperse the remaining three Demon Gods as well, then he waved the Jade Ruler, unleashing Hongmeng Purple Qi to envelop the tens of thousands of lamp fires in the sky. His right hand formed a Seal, manifesting the Heavenly Secret Demon Technique.
With Demon-suppressing in his left hand and Secret Demon in his right, a beam of red light shot from his fingertips, piercing straight into the purple Qi. The red light resonated with the lamp fires, fluctuating unsteadily, and the tens of thousands of lamp fires, like moths to a flame, were drawn to the forefront of the red light, merging into it and illuminating it a bit more.
Gradually, a spherical Demon Pearl formed at the end of the red light, initially only as big as a bean. As the lamp fires continued to merge, it grew larger, and once all tens of thousands had merged, it swelled to the size of a bowl.
Shi Feiyang reached out with a gesture, the red light disappeared, and the Demon Pearl flew in front of him.
He then executed the Heavenly Secret Demon Technique again, raising a peculiar Seal with his right hand in front of him, as he muttered, "Absorb this demon body, join that demon path, here is influenced, there responds, divine energies attract, bloodlines merge, within you there is me, within me there is you, Heavenly Secret Demon, lead me there..."
As he chanted, his Primordial Spirit resonated with the other, functioning like a Yin Yang Machine. In an instant, he saw a cavern shining with golden brilliance, inside which many lamps were burning.
"This is the place, break for me!"
He pointed forward with his right hand, and the flame Demon Pearl immediately exploded.
"Boom!"
A loud noise echoed, and the entire dark world around him shattered and rapidly dissipated like smoke and clouds.
Shi Feiyang's vision suddenly brightened, and he found himself in a cave. There stood eight giant gold pillars, each over thirty feet high. In the center was an original Dharma Platform with a lamp tree made of gold, covered densely with lamp holders. Around the walls, at intervals of about ten steps, stood lamp trees of about three feet tall, also cast in gold.
All these lamp trees, along with tables, chairs, beds, and various household articles, were made either of gold or silver, extravagantly adorned with assorted jade and Seven Treasures.
Shi Feiyang looked up at the marvelous Golden Tree, knowing it was the central Magical Treasure of the entire temple's Demon Formation, and intended to destroy it.
Suddenly, the stone walls on both sides split open, and two Barbarian Monks rushed in, releasing two Precepts Blades that flew at him, back and front, in a dazzling display of golden light.
One of them also raised a Seven Treasures Five-Pronged Vajra Demon-Subduing Pestle and bellowed, "Stop your reckless behavior!"
The other conjured a pair of golden cymbals that emitted fierce Demonic Flames as they clanged together, "The lad dares to trespass the forbidden ground, he's simply courting death!"
Shi Feiyang swung his Jade Ruler with his left hand, emitting three Golden Flowers to support the Demon-Subduing Pestle and the two pairs of gold cymbals in midair, while his right hand directed the Three Yangs One Qi Sword to entangle the two Precepts Blades.
The colorful sword light and golden blade aura clashed, resembling a fierce battle between dragons and serpents, severing each other and creating a spectacular rain of colorful light.
Both Barbarian Monks clasped their hands in Sealing signs, vigorously driving their Magical Treasures. The tip of the Vajra Pestle, extremely sharp, emitted a beam of golden light capable of piercing metal and cracking stones. As for the pair of cymbals, they slapped against each other, emitting a harsh "clashing" noise. From within, ten thousand streams of fierce fire shot out. However, they were suspended by the three Golden Flowers and unable to descend, with the golden light and fierce fire blocked.
Shi Feiyang expelled True Qi from his mouth and let out a light shout. With a series of rapid "crackling" noises, the Three Yangs One Qi Sword sliced the two Precepts Blades into pieces, their lights extinguished and falling to the ground as scrap metal.
Seeing their defeat, the Barbarian Monks were both enraged and hateful. They simultaneously bit their tongues, casting demon Magic. As the Demon Monk on the right began to spew a beam of Demon Light from his mouth, transforming into a Red Lotus, it was swiftly cleaved by the Three Yangs One Qi Sword. Slicing through the Red Lotus, the monk was cut into four or five pieces.
The other Barbarian Monk, seeing the adverse situation, hastily called back the Vajra Pestle to protect himself. The Three Yangs One Qi Sword followed swiftly, striking the Vajra Pestle repeatedly with loud clanging sounds, and golden sparks flew in all directions.
The Demon Monk bit his tongue, furiously spraying True Qi and Essence Blood, energizing the radiant burst from the Vajra Pestle. The light from its tip intensified, continuously striking the Three Yangs One Qi Sword, forcing it back.
Shi Feiyang employed the sword techniques found in Guang Chengzi's Heavenly Book, transforming one sword light into three, and then three into nine, totaling eighty-one seven-Colored sword lights. These enveloped the Demon Monk from all directions, forming a net that suddenly constricted, slicing him into countless fragments of broken bones and mangled flesh!
After the deaths of the two Demon Monks, the gold cymbals and treasure pestle didn't hit the ground but instead flew straight out of the cracked walls.
Shi Feiyang cleanly dispatched the two Barbarian Monks without sheathing his sword. With a wave of his hand, the Three Yangs One Qi Sword attacked the Golden Treasure Tree. Spiraling up and down, it slashed and thrust, cutting off the tree's golden branches one by one.
The golden lamps fell in succession, but the flames continued to burn. From within came wails and howls, each flame crying in sorrow and fear, making Shi Feiyang feel as though he was in the middle of Hell.
The continuous demonic sounds invaded his brain, causing hallucinations.
Anyone else might follow the weeping sounds into the Demon Realm, perceiving a surrounding Sea of Blood in Hell, with countless evil spirits pouncing to rip their flesh apart.
Shi Feiyang, having survived the ultimate disaster and cultivated the Chaos Dragon Ball and the Primordial Fetus Baby, forged the foundation of an Earth Immortal. His Primordial Spirit was refined and intimately merged with his physical form, remarkably stable and unshakable. Regardless of how sorrowful the demonic sounds, he focused on controlling his sword to cut down the tree, severing all the branches until only the trunk remained, which he chopped into more than a dozen pieces.
Having felled the central Golden Tree, he then turned to the other lamp trees around, slashing them to pieces.
The scattered flames rolled on the ground, revealing numerous figures that wailed and cursed as they surged towards Shi Feiyang.
These were extremely potent Demon Fires, and a single spark on the skin could turn one to dust.
Shi Feiyang waved the Jade Ruler, using the three Golden Flowers to shield himself. He enveloped the Demon Fires with the Hongmeng Purple Qi, fusing them into a large fireball.
Inside were 36,000 aggrieved souls composed of Demon Souls that could not be destroyed on the spot. Shi Feiyang took out the Zhou Tianyu Light Disc and forcefully compressed the fireball of demonic essence to the size of a rice grain, suppressing it in the disc.
The Zhou Tianyu Light Disc contained the power to destroy both heaven and earth, capable of suppressing so many Demon Souls. No other Magical Treasure could manage this. Should they escape and scatter with the Demon Fire, anything they touched would burn to ashes. All living things, both hidden and visible, would turn to ash upon contact, potentially causing disasters beyond estimation.
