Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

When the Lord of Heaven and Earth employs that Emperor's Aura, this matter will be considered completely accomplished.

Naturally, Shen Yi is unaware of the true power that Emperor's Aura can exert, but as he previously thought, all he can do is his utmost… If the outcome is less than perfect, then he can only take one step at a time.

"For the Divine Dynasty… for the people of the Four Continents, I thank General Shen!"

Gu Li, though not understanding, dared not ask more. He could only take a deep breath, bow deeply, and salute his counterpart.

"Go on."

Shen Yi watched the young woman leave, then dared not linger any longer, promptly summoning a black cloud, flying southward.

If he waited until the True Buddhas inside East Sumeru reacted, he would indeed find it impossible to escape.

...

East Continent.

On the originally open ground, a towering and continuous mountain range suddenly appeared, purple-gray in hue, with the ridge already collapsed, revealing a terrifying deep pit.

The entire mountain was entwined by blazing fire lines, which gathered at the peak into an obscure Buddha Text. The Purple Mountain trembled slightly, as if suffering immense pain, and the air echoed with incessant screams.

"Spare me, spare me!"

A duel between Second Grade Cultivators should normally be more honorable. Even in the debate conference, where both sides were at each other's throats, the worst was usually to send the opponent back to the Heavenly Dao.

At this moment, the Yin Yang Purifying Bottle hovered above Purple Mountain, its mouth shrouded by a red cloth woven with dense golden threads.

Clearly, this was the entanglement of two Innate Treasures.

Deprived of the Jade Bottle's protection, Shi Mu should have been swiftly eliminated by many equally powerful beings.

But the Monks chose to forcefully refine a Golden Immortal with Demon Race roots, driving out her demon form, this being a method more humiliating than a mere duel.

This degree is roughly equivalent to stripping someone naked on the street, watching her embrace herself in terrified screams.

The harsh wails fell on their ears, sounding rather like celestial music.

"Heh."

The Great Freedom Bodhisattvas exchanged glances, each wearing a cold smile.

This creature, at the debate, wielded Innate Spiritual Treasure to stand up for the Three Immortals Sect, wasn't she quite majestic? Now it seems, she is just a beast after all.

Of course, even if they held a grudge against Shi Mu, without an order from their sect, these Great Freedom Bodhisattvas did not dare treat a subordinate of the Emperor in such a manner.

What they truly aimed to do was to lure that Emperor to arrive, creating an opportunity for the Snow Mountain senior to kill Shen Yi.

To do this sort of thing required taking great risks.

Even though everyone had prepared sufficient excuses, such as the Three Immortals Sect breaking the rules first, they were simply anxious to stop it, but who could determine the mind of an Emperor.

An Emperor's disposition is erratic.

Lady Houtu has already ascended to the peak of the heavens and earth, even Yuqing Sect Master and Present Buddha, these two Giants, must show some respect.

If she loses her temper and sends them back to the Heavenly Dao, they can only accept it with resignation.

Therefore, the Great Freedom Bodhisattvas had already prepared to sacrifice a Dharma Body Tribulation Power, naturally intent on venting their resentment on this beast.

"Kill me!"

Shi Mu let out a piercing cry. As a Second Grade Golden Immortal, under the suppression of Buddha Text formed by those fire lines, she didn't even have the right to end herself.

This is a horrifying method devised by the Bodhi Sect over countless eras to deter the Demon Race.

At this moment, a figure in a flowing long skirt silently appeared on the mountain peak.

No waves of emotion flickered on that stunningly beautiful face.

She extended her palm, gently caressing the mountain wall as though soothing a child, yet under her white jade-like hand, the fire lines on the entire Purple Mountain surprisingly receded instantly.

The rapidly rising Buddha Text only sustained for a breath before suddenly disintegrating.

Six Great Freedom Bodhisattvas simultaneously flew backward, even the Dharma Bodies forged by the Heavenly Dao bore densely fractured lines.

"..."

The woman glanced at the sky, casually reached out, grasping the red cloth sewn with gold threads, her slender fingers carelessly clutching it, the Innate Buddha Treasure was like a rag being tossed off the cliff by her.

Indeed, Innate Buddha Treasures are formidable, but it also depends on who wields them.

"Lady… I didn't mean to… It really hurts..."

Though Shi Mu's experience was limited, she wasn't foolish, naturally knowing these suddenly arriving monks couldn't have a motive purely focused on her.

But in terms of torturing demons, who in this world can compare to the Bodhi Sect.

Even iron-like spines can be forcibly broken.

"Take care and heal well."

Lady Houtu of course knew the intricacies and, with a wave of her sleeve, restored Shi Mu to her human form, without any intention of blame.

After all, she truly lacked time.

There were three Buddhas in the East Continent, even without considering the Present Buddha, there were still two.

This made it difficult for her whether to bring Shen Yi along or not.

Bringing him along would put them directly in the sight of the Bodhi Sect. If the two True Buddhas awaited in advance, and tried to forcibly keep him, she might not be able to take him away, as her two fists were no match for four hands.

But if she didn't bring him, Shen Yi, despite possessing the Jade Void Universe Dao Pattern, if the two True Buddhas weren't here and one went in search of him, his little Blinding Technique wouldn't be effective in the eyes of a First Rank Cultivator.

So it had to be quick!

The Emperor coldly glanced into the distance, and the next moment, unexpectedly turned around.

"Emperor! The Three Immortals Sect has deceived us in East Sumeru, seizing incense offerings from the Four Continents, this is a matter among juniors, how can you..."

Several Great Freedom Bodhisattvas almost didn't react, the disciples of the Emperor's Mansion suffered such humiliation, and yet they managed to restrain their anger, rescuing the person and intending to leave.

They could only persist in speaking, to stall for more time.

"..."

Lady Houtu suddenly clenched her five fingers, the gentle face from before now fully covered in frost.

Just this subtle change in emotion caused the hearts of several Great Freedom Bodhisattvas to stop in shock.

Boom!

At that moment, the aura in the sky curtain suddenly started to fluctuate violently.

The roaring sound swept in from afar, traveling across countless mountains and waters, causing everyone to change their expressions and look towards that direction.

The only one capable of stirring such a commotion, besides a First Rank powerhouse, would be the senior brother of Snow Mountain, wielding an Innate Buddha Treasure.

It's done...

The Great Freedom Bodhisattva's eyes lit up with joy, hurriedly changing his words: "Enough, the Houtu Emperor's Mansion originally did not participate in the great tribulation, maybe we were too anxious, if we can avert the Emperor's wrath by our severe injuries, it would be worth it."

"Let this matter end here, we will never report back to the sect."

The monk's words slowly drifted away.

Lady Houtu remained silent for a long time, eventually a cold smile appeared on her lips.

In her perception, the aura she left on Shen Yi was swiftly flying towards the south.

No matter win or lose, at least he had escaped.

Which meant, what the young man needed most now was someone to divert the True Buddha's attention.

"Hoo."

Lady Houtu exhaled a breath of Pure Qi.

The anger in her heart finally erupted uncontrollably.

"So you all knew that this Emperor does not participate in the great tribulation."

"I watched helplessly as you destroyed my Divine Dynasty, enduring it until now, only to have you murder my disciple."

"Now you say... let it end here."

"If what you say counts, then why do you need me, this Emperor?"

The woman turned away indifferently, the First Rank giants had not shown themselves for many years, and as she slowly raised her palm, it was a proclamation to the world, what is meant by imperial might.

"It's over."

The hearts of several Great Freedom Bodhisattvas sank, their faces turned bitter, their Tribulation Power was not easily acquired and today, it seemed much would be lost here.

No one dared to fantasize about escaping from under the hand of the Emperor.

But quickly, they realized something was amiss, their consciousness still existed in the world, and what followed was a searing pain stabbing their hearts.

Like a uniform fire thread, in an instant, wrapped around the six of them, turning them into blazing firemen.

The Great Freedom Bodhisattvas had no fear of water and fire, but this did not include the Emperor's Fire.

"Lady, you..."

The monks' features contorted, almost gnashing their teeth to pieces, wishing to tear themselves apart, but when they found their Tribulation Power instinctively resisting the pain, true fear took hold of their hearts.

Slowly roasting with small flames.

Second Grade powerhouses possess the Divine Skill of being Undying and Undying, but this assumes having Tribulation Power to reconstruct the Dharma Body, otherwise, they can only remain in a long slumber in the Heavenly Dao, until their Tribulation Power is regained.

The Emperor did not intend to send them back to the Heavenly Dao, but rather to exhaust all of the Tribulation Power stored in the Heavenly Dao!
