Chapter 94: The Gods Appear, the Vermillion Coffin

Time flies like water, and a month passes in the blink of an eye.

Most of the Taiyi Sect monks who were patrolling the South China Sea withdrew because they had not yet caught the murderer who killed their fellow sect members. Only three or four people were left and stationed on a small island hundreds of miles away.

Hua Tiandu, whose aura had been concealed by the Three Immortals' talisman, secretly waited near the mountain gate built by the gods.

One day, the mountain gate in the center of the giant island suddenly made a movement, and the breath of time and space emanating from it became increasingly dense.

"Om~"

Following a roar, a group of mysterious people covered in black robes walked out of the door.

Hua Tiandu, who noticed this, had his eyes light up and murmured, "The God Clan is finally taking action."

Under his gaze, the thirty mysterious men formed a battle formation, together supporting a vermilion coffin, and stopped in front of the mountain gate.

They looked around and talked about something.

Silently, Hua Tiandu used the art of reincarnation to completely change his body shape, turning it into Zhang Daoyi's appearance. Even his aura was exactly the same. Even the Taoist robe he wore was transformed into the Eight Diagrams Purple Gold Taoist robe that was exclusive to the Taiyi Sect.

Then, he jumped out from the darkness, came to the opposite side of the gods, and blocked their way.

This arrogant behavior naturally attracted the attention of many gods.

"I was wondering who is so arrogant? Turns out to be a cultivator from the Taiyi Sect, the largest sect in Xuanhuang." A black-robed god looked at Hua Tiandu with disdain and sneered sinisterly.

"It was you who killed those guard dogs, right? It seems that you have some magical powers." said another god.

As soon as these words were spoken, many gods realized a fact, that is, their identities had most likely been exposed.

They were quite straightforward and all took off their black robes and stopped disguising themselves.

These gods revealed their true faces. They were all covered in bone armor, very similar to the demons, but their temperaments were completely opposite. Not only did they not have any demonic energy, they also exuded a sacred aura.

Between heaven and earth, countless creatures, of any race, need to practice and grow step by step after birth before they can possess supernatural powers.

The only exception is the gods, who are born with magical powers and strong physiques.

There is no limit to the lifespan of the gods. Unless an era comes to an end and the five signs of decay occur, they will not experience birth, aging, sickness, and death.

This race is born with an endless desire for domination. They once invaded the worlds of immortals, demons, Buddhas, dragons, etc., attempting to rule all the heavens and worlds, and thus became the enemy of all races.

These gods, looking at Hua Tiandu who was disguised as a cultivator of Taiyi Sect, showed no fear at all after realizing that their tracks had been exposed. Instead, they revealed an expression of superiority.

The way they looked at Hua Tiandu was as if they were looking at a dog.

"A cultivator from the Taiyi Sect who is at the Guiyi level, well, he can barely be a running dog of my God Clan."

"Kneel down and worship us devoutly."

"This is your best chance to turn from darkness to light and join my God Clan. I hope you will not be ungrateful."

……

Among the gods, they are divided into six small teams. Each team has a God King in the Jindan period, and each team leads five God warriors.

At this time, the six gods were trying to persuade them to surrender.

"Stop talking nonsense. As for the God Clan, my Taiyi Sect has always been ruthless in exterminating them all!" Hua Tiandu rejected the other party's "recruitment" very straightforwardly and sent a doomsday natural disaster.

A dark cloud exuding the aura of doomsday covered an area of ​​several miles and pressed towards the many gods.

"This is a great disaster technique ranked in the top ten among the Three Thousand Great Daos, and it is the unique inheritance of the Taiyi Sect!"

The many gods now had no doubts and were certain that Hua Tiandu was a member of the Taiyi Sect.

Their shapes changed and transformed into six groups of starlight, forming the Southern Dipper formation and evolving a star map that looked like a colander.

The six stars of the Southern Dipper released various magical powers to fight against the doomsday disaster.

The six great magical powers, the spirit of the command, the poisonous fog, the invisible curse, the sealed divine map, the chaos divine thunder, and the phantom of the world, collided with the dark clouds representing the doomsday disaster.

"Boom~"

"Bang~"

The huge island under his feet shook, and in an instant, it was shattered into pieces by the burst of various vital energies and sank directly into the seabed.

The surrounding sea water was also stirred in all directions by the impact of the majestic magic power, turning into water curtains that covered the sky and spread out.

"Not good! This person's power is close to the secret realm of immortality. We can't resist him!"

"The Xuanhuang World has long been in decline, how could there be such a powerful Guiyi Realm cultivator!"

"Please bring out the Dao device quickly!"

While the six God Kings were struggling to hold on, they communicated with each other and discussed ways to resist Hua Tiandu.

Finally, they worked together to create a stone statue of a Valkyrie that exuded an aura of domination.

'Buzz~'

In an instant, a shield of light spread out from the statue, covering all the gods and blocking the doomsday disaster.

This stone statue is called the Goddess of Rule. It is a top-grade Taoist weapon forged by several gods of the gods. It contains the true meaning of rule and battle and is extremely powerful. As soon as it appeared, many gods felt relieved and freed from the tremendous pressure brought by Hua Tiandu.

"Even if I sacrifice a top-grade Taoist weapon, you will still die!" Hua Tiandu made a bold statement above the dark clouds.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Three Immortal Talismans revealed their true form and emitted a clear and crisp immortal sound like a silver bell.

"Ling ring ring~"

Waves of invisible waves permeated the entire arena, and silently disintegrated the light shield covering the Gods, exposing them directly to the doomsday disaster.

“This is a magical weapon!”

All the gods sensed that unique immortal energy and howled wildly in their hearts, realizing the tragic outcome of their impending defeat.

In the void, the three immortal talismans and the goddess statue were entangled together, and both disappeared together, as if they had gone to another time and space.

"Yin Yang and the Five Elements, capture all the gods!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hua Tiandu personally controlled a Tai Chi diagram, slowly pressing down from the air, covering all the gods.

Suddenly, the magic power raged like a mad dragon, destroying the gods' formation.

The first to bear the brunt were the many God Clan warriors below the Jindan stage. They had no resistance at all and were bound in place by the Tai Chi diagram.

"You're dreaming if you want to capture us alive!"

The divine power of the six great God Kings surged, and in an instant they formed a circle, trapping Hua Tiandu, who had charged into the God Clan’s battle group, in the center.

"Om~"

The six great gods punched at the same time and launched a violent attack towards Hua Tiandu in the middle.

"The mantis' arms are like a chariot!"

While Hua Tiandu was speaking disdainfully, he transformed into six phantoms and exchanged punches with each of the six God Kings. He used all his strength in these six punches.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

In the void, thunder exploded, countless vital energies were blasted, and six violent air currents turned into sharp divine swords, cutting everything within a radius of ten miles. Suddenly, the sea rolled up thousands of waves, and waves of tsunamis rushed into the sky. The nearby void was covered by countless waves and became dark.

The six God Kings who bore Hua Tiandu's full-strength attack were all seriously injured.

Their bodies looked like broken porcelain and bone armor, with countless cracks appearing on them. A large amount of blood flowed out from those dense cracks, turning the six God Kings into bloody men.

"The Gods are nothing more than this..."

When the six great God Kings were seriously injured and dying, the Three Immortals' Edict reappeared and returned to Hua Tiandu.

At the same time, the goddess statue revealed its true form.

"Hey~"

This top-grade Taoist weapon did nothing but flew directly into the mountain gate in a panic and disappeared without a trace.

When the goddess statue fled, she didn't care about the six seriously injured and dying gods, and didn't even look at them.

In front of the mountain gate, Hua Tiandu, who had just burst out with all his strength and used up all his magic power, felt that countless nectars were poured out from the void, falling into his mind, turning into infinite magic power, slowly filling up his nine seas of consciousness and replenishing the consumption.

"Although my mana is limited to less than 100 million horsepower, it can be fully restored quickly after it is consumed."

After using up their magic power, ordinary monks must meditate to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, or take elixirs, in order to restore their magic power and continue fighting.

But it is not the case with Hua Tiandu now. His sea of ​​consciousness seems to be connected to a mysterious space. Once his magic power is exhausted, rain will fall from the mysterious space and transform into magic power to make up for the consumption, allowing him to continue fighting.

"This abnormality should be caused by the effect of the first talent."

"This way, I can unleash my full combat power without any scruples in the future."

In front of the mountain gate, Hua Tiandu glanced at the conspicuous vermilion coffin emitting a sealing aura, and then looked at the six great gods, his eyes thoughtful.

"It seems that these six God Kings and this group of God Clan warriors are here to escort this coffin."

“I wonder what’s in this coffin?”

Thinking of the escaped top-grade Taoist weapon, he did not delay any further and communicated directly with the Three Immortals to take away everything around him.

Then, the man and the talisman disappeared into the void without a trace, leaving only an intact mountain gate above the sea.

Not long after, two streaks of light flashed across the sky. They were the two disciples of Taiyi Sect.

Xiang Wanquan and Li Minyi stood high in the sky, looking at the still turbulent sea water and the mysterious mountain gate, with a thoughtful look in their eyes.

"Senior Brother Wanquan, I remember there should have been a huge island here before." Li Minyi said uncertainly.

"Yes, a junior brother reported that there is a huge island here, and there is a stone gate on the island. It is suspected to be the ruins of a small sect on the sea." Xiang Wanquan responded, "That's why none of us paid attention to it at that time."

The Taiyi Sect is the number one sect in the world and has never cared about the small sects on the sea.

"That stone gate is not simple. It is very likely related to the murderer who killed Senior Brother Zhang Daoyi." Xiang Wanquan guessed, "Let's go back and report to Senior Sister Yanshuiyi and ask her to come here in person to handle this matter."

As they were talking, the two of them fled together and disappeared into the horizon.
-
Thousands of miles away, on an isolated island, Hua Tiandu appeared with the Three Immortals Talisman.

"boom!"

A vermilion coffin flew out from the talisman and fell to the ground.

This coffin is about three meters long and one meter wide, and is probably not used to hold corpses.

There were several illusory divine chains tied to the red coffin, and it was obviously sealed by heavy Taoist magic.

"The gods sealed this coffin. Could the things inside be harmful to the gods?"

With the intention of finding out the truth, Hua Tiandu communicated with the Three Immortals and asked them to remove the seal on the red coffin.

"Zizzizi~"

The Three Immortals Talisman emitted a green light that shone onto the coffin, directly erasing the illusory chains formed by Taoist magic one by one.

"Click~"

When the seal was lifted, the coffin lid tilted upwards slightly, as if there was a living thing inside.

"Hey~"

"Dang~"

For safety reasons, Hua Tiandu stood far away, waved his hand gently, emitted a ray of divine light, and moved the coffin lid open.

"It turned out to be a piece of tree branch?"

Inside the red coffin was a lifeless branch.

This branch was purple and black, more than two meters long, and very regular overall, like a round pillar. It had neither leaves nor small branches, as if it had been specially trimmed.

Since he didn't notice anything unusual, Hua Tiandu went over there himself.

He placed his hand on the branch, and a surge of magical power surged out, wrapped the branch, and then lifted it up.

"Such a small branch actually weighs several tons!"

Hua Tiandu held the branch in front of him, examined it carefully, and felt a little surprised.

"This must have been left by some kind of sacred tree, otherwise it wouldn't be so miraculous."

As soon as he came up with this speculation, his attention was attracted by the Three Immortals' Talisman.

The talisman made a strange "wooooooo" sound, as if it was crying. The strong sense of sadness spread throughout the void.

"Hmm? What happened to the Three Immortal Talismans?"

To be honest, this was the first time that Hua Tiandu saw the Three Immortals Talisman express such strong emotions.

Although this talisman is a fragment of an immortal weapon, its strength is not as great as a real immortal weapon. It is only equivalent to a top-grade Taoist weapon. Moreover, there is no complete spirit inside it. It only has a vague consciousness that can establish simple communication with Hua Tiandu, but its intelligence is not high.

But now, He is expressing His feelings like a real living being.

Hua Tiandu walked up to the Three Immortals Talisman, held Him in the palm of his hand, and stroked Him slowly to comfort him.

He looked at the talisman in his hand, and suddenly his eyes blurred, and he saw a series of magical scenes.

A gigantic sacred tree that surpasses any other tree species is rooted in a boundless world, while its trunk passes through layers of time and space, extending into nothingness.

On top of the giant tree, countless creatures including humans, gods, demons, monsters, and ghosts live and reproduce. There are also some powerful monks who climb up along the trunk of the giant tree and enter the endless space and time.

Although he only took a rough look, Hua Tiandu still felt the majesty of the huge sacred tree. He was shocked, and when he was about to take a closer look, the scenes had disappeared.

At the same time, he received a hint of the Three Immortals' Edict.

"The World Tree..."

"It's actually a fragment of the World Tree!"

Hua Tiandu looked at the tree trunk in his hand. There were twisted textures on it. These textures were different, but they were entangled with each other, which looked quite strange.

The branches of the World Tree feel very hard to the touch, even stronger than the Zhenwu Sword. Not only do the branches not contain any spiritual energy, but they are also not penetrated by magic power, which makes them very magical.

He felt it was a bit absurd. He really didn't expect that he could get a branch of the World Tree so easily, and it was snatched from the hands of the gods.
