Chapter 108 The Hidden Danger of Zhulong
A blood-red beam of light was the fastest. Heng Ming took a look and saw an old man with a gloomy face sitting on a scarlet lotus platform. His speed was even slightly faster than his.
Heng Ming acted decisively and blew out a breath of immortal air. Countless spaces were immediately distorted by an unknown force. The several beams of light behind him could not be distinguished in an instant. Even the Ming River had to stop flying.
Minghe saw Hengming actually took the initiative to attack, and instead of being annoyed, he laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Hengming has some tricks, but it's a pity that you can't take Yingzhou Island with just these tricks!"
A ray of red divine light instantly cut through countless distorted spaces, and a piercing murderous intent rose into the sky. Countless illusory blood shadows appeared, roaring and screaming. An illusory sea of blood suddenly blocked Hengming's way, forcing him to stop his escape.
Heng Ming shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Minghe is too confident and does not know what my methods are."
Then a book of pictures suddenly blocked the red divine light. The divine light dissipated, and a three-foot-long sword that was completely black appeared. Two spiritual treasures emitted boundless divine light. Killing intent soared to the sky, and fate surrounded them. The vast chanting resounded through the heaven and earth. The two avenues also continued to entangle in the void, and in the end they just repelled each other.
Hengming stretched out his hand and swept across the Record of Destiny. The big book immediately began to flip continuously, and finally slowly stopped on a certain page. The image of a pitch-black sword appeared, and at the same time, a real name also appeared, Yuan Tu.
After the Record of Destiny recorded the Yuantu Sword, Minghe's face suddenly changed. A powerful force was constantly competing with him for the ownership of the Yuantu Sword. This was the destiny. Destiny did not want him to wield the Yuantu Sword again, so naturally it had to take this divine sword away from him.
"What a trick!"
Minghe shouted loudly, a dark divine light flashed, and the Abi Sword appeared in his hand. Yuantu and Abi were originally twin divine swords. The dark divine light was faintly diffused, lingering on the Yuantu Sword like a living thing. The twelve-grade karmic fire red lotus under his seat emitted endless karmic fire at the same time. One side was in a panic and barely managed to keep the Yuantu Sword.
However, the imprint in the Yuantu Sword was already unstable and no longer suitable for use, so Minghe had no choice but to put it away.
Heng Ming looked at this scene thoughtfully. It is true that the Record of Destiny can forcibly seize other people's spiritual treasures, but it can only seize top-grade innate spiritual treasures. Being able to make a top-grade innate spiritual treasure unstable in the hands of its owner is already an extraordinary performance of the Record of Destiny.
However, the Yuan Tu Sword suddenly became unstable after the effect of the Record of Destiny came into effect, and even changed hands. It was obvious that it was not just the effect of the Record of Destiny that was the problem, but the problem with the Yuan Tu Sword itself.
"Could it be that the Yuan Tu Sword is not the companion spiritual treasure of the Minghe?" This question flashed through Hengming's mind: "Otherwise, why can it be controlled so easily by me, or is it that the killing spiritual treasure is born with this characteristic? Unable to recognize the master? Or even kill the master?"
It is not uncommon for a treasure to kill its master. On the contrary, it is very common. For example, the magic weapon has a spirit and does not want to be controlled by people. It wants to be free, so it will naturally kill its master. Or the master's cultivation is too low to control the powerful magic weapon, and eventually the magic weapon backfires and dies.
But such a situation only occurs among celestial immortals, and even mysterious immortals are extremely rare. Hengming never expected that such a situation would occur to the ultimate immortal like Minghe, the Daluo Jinxian.
Minghe also knew that the flaws of his spiritual treasure were exposed in front of Hengming, the god of fate, so he said no more and immediately slashed at Hengming with a sword.
The blood energy in the sky quickly condensed and turned into a shocking sword energy. Countless inexplicable blood shadows screamed incessantly, billions of wronged souls roared, and a filthy sea of blood appeared. The powerful binding force trapped Hengming in place. Minghe obviously wanted to kill him. He didn't want his flaws to be exposed to outsiders, so he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill Hengming.
Heng Ming just smiled slightly and let the blood sword energy split him into millions of pieces without any resistance at all.
After seeing this, Minghe did not feel happy, but instead felt a great sense of unease in his heart. However, a hand quietly appeared behind him, and the hand pinched several magic spells, and in just a moment, it hit Minghe's heart hard.
The strange yet noble power of destiny rushed into Minghe's body frantically, and in an instant it weaved into a deadly killing formation. Hengming had no talent for refining medicine and weapons, but he was very adept at arranging formations, and he even learned it by himself.
In addition, there are countless deadly formations everywhere in the chaos, so Hengming can naturally learn more formations like a fish in water.
For example, the killing formation he had arranged inside the body of the Styx at this moment was called the Pangu Transformation and Disintegration Formation. It was inspired by the magical powers he had obtained from the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique. It helped others to transform and disintegrate by force, just like Pangu who sacrificed himself to achieve the great chaos.
If time was not insufficient, Hengming could even set up another formation called the Heaven and Earth Borrowing the Power to Absorb Oneself. This formation could absorb all kinds of spiritual resources in the heaven and earth to replenish itself. If it was coordinated with the Pangu Transformation and Disintegration Formation, it would be equivalent to completely absorbing the Styx.
A strange chant continued to be sung in the ears of the Styx. This was the voice that led all living beings towards Pangu, allowing all living beings to completely become a part of the heaven and earth, and to create them with their own lives.
puff!
Minghe spat out a mouthful of blood towards the sky. He felt dizzy after suffering such a sudden heavy blow. Countless insights into the great Dao were gradually dissipating. This was the so-called transformation of the Dao.
To transform into the Tao means to eliminate the Tao, and naturally there will no longer be the so-called understanding of the Tao.
After a long time, even the Golden Immortal will fall from the Daluo realm, and it is not impossible that it will completely turn into an ordinary creature.
After seeing this scene, several beams of light behind the two men immediately turned around and left, no longer lingering.
Are you kidding? These two great gods are fighting to the death with each other. How dare small fry like them rashly intervene? There are differences among the great gods. Minghe and Hengming are at the top of the list, and now even Minghe almost died at the hands of Hengming, not to mention them, the innate gods who have just entered the realm of Daluo Jinxian.
Hengming's figure gradually appeared, and he smiled from afar, "How about it, fellow Daoist Minghe, now you know what is high and what is low, right? If you still don't accept it, I don't mind fighting with you for a few more moves."
Minghe took a deep breath and sat down. The twelfth-grade red lotus of karmic fire emitted a fairy light. Countless karmic fires like lotus flowers appeared. The red lotus karmic fire killed everything. Even the illusory formation was constantly destroyed by the karmic fire. However, the power of destiny was too strange, so he could only barely suppress the effect of the transformation. The rest of his injuries could only be recovered by returning to the filthy sea of blood.
He looked at Hengming deeply, then immediately turned into light and left. He came and went in a hurry.
Hengming sneered, and then immediately headed towards Yingzhou Island. However, no matter how Hengming traveled through space, there was always a distance between him and Yingzhou Island, as if it would never disappear.
At first Heng Ming thought it was some kind of space formation, and wanted to break it with one formation. Every time he advanced a certain distance, he would set up a large space formation. However, these large space formations had no effect at all. There was always a distance between him and Yingzhou Island, making Yingzhou Island like a flower in the mirror or a moon in the water, which was within sight but out of reach.
"Who on earth is it that dares not show up in broad daylight and only dares to do these mean tricks behind the scenes?"
Hengming finally realized that someone was causing trouble, but he was neither anxious nor angry. He looked at the strange sea with cold eyes, then opened his mouth and spit out a red magic light. As soon as the magic light appeared, it twisted and struggled on the sea, and then it roared like a living thing, and the roar continued, as if something strange was about to come out.
The aura of disaster descended along with the roar of the devilish light, causing countless great gods watching to drop their jaws in shock.
The evil spirit that only appeared within the calamity has actually descended like this. How many tricks does Heng Ming have that can be so terrifying.
Heng Ming sneered, "Zhu Long, I didn't expect you to not fight for Penglai or Fangzhang, but wanted to fight for Yingzhou from me? Do you think the Avenue of Time is an invincible avenue? It can be done once or twice, but not three times. With such a big appetite, aren't you afraid of pushing the dragon race into the catastrophe again!"
Heng Ming said something shocking, actually saying that it was Zhulong who was hindering him from fighting for Yingzhou Island. However, an inexplicable sigh resounded throughout the sea area, and then a pair of unimaginably huge eyes slowly emerged.
It is unknown how high or how big these eyes are. At first glance, one feels that they can support the sky. When the eyes are open, infinite divine light fills the sky and the earth. When the eyes are closed, miserable darkness fills the sky and the earth. There is also a constant breathing sound. Every exhalation is enough to cause a severe drought in the world, and every inhalation can cause snow in June. The vast divine power is endless. Even the top gods had to stop fighting and look at these divine eyes in shock.
A huge pressure came down from the sky, and great gods like Hengming, Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian, Dijun, Taiyi, Changxi, Xihe, Nuwa, Fuxi, Bixia Yuanjun, Queen Mother of the West, King Father of the East, Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi and others all felt heavy all over.
Except for Yinglong who could still move freely, everyone else had red faces and rapid breathing. Just this pair of eyes was enough to suppress countless gods, and the power of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal was evident.
"The three islands and ten continents cannot be taken by outsiders!"
The majestic voice resounded throughout the world. No matter how honorable the gods were, they all closed their eyes and remained silent, neither agreeing nor refusing. However, Hengming opened his eyes, stared at those eyes, and finally burst into laughter.
“Hahahahahaha! Zhulong, if you have the guts to come out, why don’t you just kick us out of the four seas? Why would you have to rely on the Eastern King and the Western Queen Mother? Even Yinglong showed up, but you could only show a pair of eyes. Let me guess, is there something big happening to the Dragon Clan that forced you to guard the Dragon Clan and not go out!”
Heng Ming shouted, "Fellow Daoists, please take out all your spiritual treasures to fight the enemy! Otherwise, if Zhulong forces us away, the three islands and ten continents will definitely belong to the dragon clan!"
The gods present all opened their eyes, and one after another spiritual treasures soared into the sky, including the exquisite pagoda of heaven and earth, the Tai Chi crutch, the auspicious clouds of the heavens, the three jade ruyi, the wonderful falling flag of the sky, the Qingping sword, the wheel of constellations, the map of life, the record of destiny, the furnace of creation, the Fuxi harp, the chaos bell, the river map, the book of Luo, the moon extinction ball, the bright moon tidal harp, the book of the earth, the dragon head crutch, the pure yang sword, the pure water bowl, the Kunlun mirror, the wonderful tree of seven treasures, the six pure bamboos, the Taishan seal and other spiritual treasures. Even the Hunyuan Golden Immortal had to retreat under such power.
Yinglong's face changed drastically. The twelve Dinghai Divine Pearls on his head were only shining together with this magical treasure to illuminate this sea area. They were immediately backfired, and with a howl, they fell into Yinglong's celebration cloud.
Even Yinglong had to spread his wings and escape into the sea. The pressure was too great, and he could not hold on even if he was not directly targeted.
The piercing sky-high light immediately cut through the pair of divine eyes. Even if Zhulong himself appeared at this moment, he would be instantly shattered into thin air by this magical treasure, and even the Hunyuan Golden Immortal would find it difficult to resurrect.
Apart from opening his eyes and making that sound, Zhulong did not appear again. It was obvious that the dragon clan really had a big problem, so he had to guard the clan himself and could not go out.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hengming immediately transformed into a ray of divine light and entered Yingzhou Island. Large formations were set up one after another, making Yingzhou Island completely impenetrable. It was obvious that the island was completely occupied by him.
When other gods reacted, they also immediately rushed towards other blessed places. Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was destiny, but the King of the East and the Queen Mother of the West joined forces to fight for it, and in the end they actually managed to seize Penglai Island, Zifu Continent, Fenglin Continent, and Juku Continent.
As for Fangzhang Island, it was taken away by Zhunti. After all, these two people were like crazy and were determined to get this blessed land at the cost of their lives. The other gods had no choice but to retreat. Finally, these two people happily moved Fangzhang Island to the west. They did not think of fighting for other god islands. Apparently, they also knew to stop while they were ahead.
The six demon kings put aside their past grudges and worked together to seize Zuzhou, Shengzhou, Yanzhou, Changzhou, Yuanzhou and Liuzhou. Emperor Jun was quite happy about this, after all, he could use the six blessed lands to make up for the missing six days in the thirty-six heavens.
As for the last Xuanzhou, it was taken by the Three Purities. Logically speaking, the Three Purities' strength was second only to the Six Emperors of Heaven, and they should not have taken only one Xuanzhou. However, the Three Purities did not have much obsession with this. It was fine if they had it or not. Coming here was more like having fun, so they seemed to be the calmest group of people.
As for Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi and Bixia Yuanjun, they gained nothing at all. Hengming wanted to help Bixia Yuanjun grab one of the Three Islands and Ten Continents, but unfortunately the competition was too fierce. Hengming had just finished his arrangements on Yingzhou Island when the Three Islands and Ten Continents had already been completely divided up, and he could do nothing about it.
But Bixia Yuanjun didn't feel it was such a pity. After all, her roots were in the ancient land, so her mentality was similar to that of the Three Pure Ones. If she could get it, she would grab it, and if she couldn't, it didn't matter. At this moment, she wanted to go to Yingzhou Island to take a look.
Hengming naturally would not refuse, and immediately opened the formation outside the island to welcome the arrival of Bixia Yuanjun. As for the Three Pure Ones, they were busy arranging Xuanzhou, and Nuwa was helping the demon clan move the six blessed places to the thirty-sixth heaven, so they had to agree to meet again on Yingzhou Island after a thousand years.
Bixia Yuanjun saw the densely packed killing formation outside Yingzhou Island and said in amazement: "Daoyou Hengming is not good at refining weapons and elixirs, but I didn't expect that he has such a talent for arranging formations. It can be seen that the heaven has mercy on you and can't bear to see you so decadent, so he specially gave you the talent for formations. It can be regarded as heaven's reward for hard work."
Having been friends with Hengming for many years, Bixia Yuanjun has learned some of Hengming's dark history, which is why she teased him.
Heng Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly, "That's the only talent I have. Otherwise, I would have been bullied to death. It just so happens that Fellow Daoist Bixia has come to the island and helped me arrange the earth veins and sort out the nearby water veins. I'm not very familiar with this, so I had to ask Fellow Daoist to help me."
Bixia Yuanjun laughed after hearing this: "I came to the island as a guest, but I didn't expect that you would ask me to help you right away before I even had a cup of tea. Daoist friend really has a good plan."
The Wheel of Fate was renamed the Wheel of Destiny
