Chapter 2560 Audacious
As the woman in the phoenix crown threw down the jade bracelet, flames began to flow towards a certain place amidst the sea of lava and fire. There seemed to be a bottomless pit there, and as the continuous stream of flames gathered there, a crimson halo suddenly appeared.
This was not just a ball of fire, but also contained a powerful vitality. A sapling grew out of the halo of light, which turned out to be a Taiyan Phoenix Tree.
The Taiyan Phoenix Tree grew and matured at a speed visible to the naked eye. Its lush canopy swayed gently and parted to the sides, revealing a figure—the woman in the phoenix crown.
The woman in the phoenix crown stood amidst the treetops, surrounded by an endless sea of fire. The flames would become incredibly docile when they approached this Taiyan Phoenix Tree.
As she appeared, the void behind her distorted, and a female cultivator in a colorful dress stepped out. "Yan'er, why did the Dao Court suddenly appear here? During the years I was in seclusion, did the Spirit Realm hear news of the Dao Court again?"
The woman in the phoenix crown gently shook her head, also filled with doubt.
If the Daoist court intends to reclaim its former territory, it shouldn't have ranked the Great Wind Plains first. It's not only barren, but also too close to the demon race…
Just then, the two women's expressions suddenly changed, as a wave of energy emanating from Lei Wei made their hearts tremble.
This fluctuation was somewhat subtle, but extremely peculiar and unprecedented.
This is... the God of Talismans!
Although it is unknown which talisman god the other party summoned, it is certain that it was from the Dao Court!
At this moment, the two women no longer had any doubts.
'Snapped! '
The woman in the colorful dress burst like a bubble.
The woman in the phoenix crown looked up at the sky above the sea of fire, where it was shrouded in thunderous power, the thunderous force transformed into a thin 'thunder paper'.
Her expression was solemn, and the aura around her surged. A phoenix phantom appeared behind her. With a phoenix cry, the phoenix phantom plunged into the sea of fire. Then, fireballs condensed in the sea of fire, and a Taiyan Phoenix Tree grew in each fireball.
Ten thousand trees form a forest, and countless Taiyan Fengwu trees create an endless jungle on the earth.
The leaves were fiery red, and the flames seemed to be devoured by these spiritual trees, but the aura of the flames became even stronger. The entire forest seemed to be a single entity, all belonging to the same Taiyan Phoenix Tree!
The Phoenix Clan Demon Saint was on high alert.
As the Thunder Sacrifice Oath descended, the leaves of the spirit trees fluttered and rustled, and an invisible thunderous might enveloped the forest, pressing down the canopy of the Taiyan Phoenix Tree. As the thunderous might spread, visible crimson waves formed on the ground.
This lightning spell was incredibly powerful and had a tremendous impact.
However, when the woman in the phoenix crown saw this scene, she looked on with suspicion.
……
A place of nothingness.
The four True Lords gazed upon the Heavenly Azure Kingdom from afar, and only when they saw the altar of governance appear as promised did a great weight lift from their hearts.
The Thunder Altar, which took a thousand years to set up, has finally been activated today!
Thunder rumbled in the sky.
Amidst the chaos of countless thunderbolts over the half-demon kingdoms, Qin Sang led the completion of that thunder spell.
"Ok?"
Crane Spring True Lord suddenly let out a soft exclamation, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. Seeing that his companions were all focused on the battlefield, he hesitated for a moment, then suppressed his doubts and did not ask.
What puzzled her was why she hadn't seen the Divine Court.
It's understandable that Zhang Tianshi didn't show himself, as he needed to be wary of the Phoenix Clan's ancestor. It's rather strange that this envoy didn't invoke any deities.
It should be noted that what is most amazing about the Daoist court is its divine court and countless talisman gods.
This seems somewhat different from the scenes of high-ranking Taoist priests performing rituals as recorded in ancient books.
Perhaps it's because so many years have passed, and both the Daoist Court and the Divine Court have changed.
Just then, True Monarch Hequan also sensed the fluctuation that made her heart tremble. She was immediately alarmed and wondered if this was the aura that True Monarch Xuanqiu had mentioned.
When True Monarch Xuanqiu met Qin Sang, he returned to his grotto and deduced that the aura likely originated from a Mahayana-level talisman god. The Daoist court has only a limited number of Mahayana talisman gods; according to records, the Thunder Department only had one at the time, namely Thunder Ancestor!
In other words, the guardian deity of the Five Thunder Court was actually the Thunder Ancestor, which is why they firmly believed in his identity.
The Dao Court returned to the Great Thousand World, but remained hidden from the world. One theory is that the Divine Court was destroyed in that great war, and the powerful talisman gods were all wiped out.
Their biggest concern is that the Dao Court is currently weak and no match for the Dragon and Phoenix clans.
Now it seems they may have overthought things. Does that Five Thunder Court Envoy intend to directly request the Thunder Ancestor to surrender and settle the matter once and for all?
The four half-demon True Monarchs all revealed expectant looks.
However, when they saw the Taiyan Phoenix Forest manifested by the Phoenix Clan Demon Saint's divine power, and the Thunder Sacrifice Oath above the forest, the expectation in their eyes was gradually replaced by astonishment and doubt.
……
over nine days.
The Wood God Envoy stood with his back to the Milky Way, his gaze sweeping across the distant Heavenly Kingdom.
His gaze followed Lei Fa's direction, taking in the scene on the battlefield, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
……
Even the azure dragon, carrying vast expanses of water and defying the heavens, glanced in this direction amidst its busy schedule.
……
The reason why all the powerful figures showed such expressions was simply that the power of the Thunder Sacrifice Oath was not as strong as these powerful figures had imagined!
This is the first battle after the Daoist Court returned to the Great Thousand Worlds. Logically, it should unleash its most powerful talismanic arts to announce the Daoist Court's return to the world.
The Phoenix Clan Demon Saint was even prepared to fight to the death, determined to do everything in his power to buy time and wait for his ancestor to emerge. The final fate of the Ancient Demon Court will likely depend on the outcome of the battle between the various ancestral figures.
At this moment, the performance of the new demon court was commendable, but the power of this lightning spell was somewhat unsatisfactory.
Was the opponent intentionally concealing their true strength, or was there something hidden within this lightning technique that they couldn't see through?
Thinking of this, the woman in the phoenix crown felt a chill run down her spine and dared not be the slightest bit negligent. Her expression became even more solemn as she secretly issued orders to the various demon saints.
‘Wow! ’
In the jungle, leaves fluttered, and the canopies of each Taiyan Phoenix Tree transformed into phoenix nests.
'Bah! '
Within the Phoenix Nest, flames soared into the sky, and a phoenix was reborn from the ashes, its cries rising and falling.
They let out long cries in response to the oath of the Thunder Sacrifice, and countless phoenixes took flight.
The phoenix is regarded as the first divine bird in the world, the leader of all feathered creatures, and is known as a divine bird. Its divine appearance can withstand any praise.
Countless phoenixes soar through the heavens and earth, a sight that exists only in ancient legends and is a rare spectacle that even cultivators in the spirit world can hardly witness in their entire lives!
The Thunder Sacrifice Oath has arrived!
In mid-air, phoenixes were immediately annihilated by the thunder, but there were many more phoenixes around. Fearless and relentless, they spread their wings and flew toward the oath of the thunder sacrifice.
In an instant, the paper was surrounded by countless phoenixes, layer upon layer, like a giant fireball.
‘Boom! ’
With a deafening roar of thunder, the fireball trembled violently, showering down a rain of fire, with lightning flashing within the flames.
The powerful figures from all sides watched this scene in shock; no one had expected that the Thunder Magic would be broken so quickly.
Moreover, the reversal they had hoped for did not occur. The lightning quickly dissipated in the rain of fire, and the thunderous power that permeated the world began to show obvious signs of decline.
The phoenixes in the sky and the Taiyan Phoenix Forest on the ground were not even completely destroyed.
All the experts were dumbfounded.
The Daoist Thunder Magic has been defeated, utterly and completely defeated!
……
At this moment, what is Qin Sang, the envoy of the Five Thunder Court, who is highly regarded by the Wood God and the Half-Demon True Lord, regarded as the personal disciple of Zhang Tianshi, and protected by the Thunder Ancestor, doing?
His eyes were closed as he studied the "Purple Star Sword Scripture" and the Mahayana path of killing.
Before setting up the altar and performing the ritual, the Half-Demon True Lord mobilized the dragon veins and informed the people of the Half-Demon Kingdoms of the cruel truth.
Since the collapse of the Dao Court, the half-demons of Dafeng Plain have lived in the shadow of the demon race, like domesticated pigs. Their True Lords are barely able to protect themselves and can only hide in their caves, helplessly watching all this.
The half-demon lords did put up a fight; they created a dragon vein, which improved the half-demons' situation somewhat, but it couldn't fundamentally change it.
The Half-Demon True Lord revealed not only the truth, but also the resentment, humiliation, and deep-seated hatred for the Dragon and Phoenix clans that had accumulated in their hearts for countless years, which deeply affected the half-demon people.
Those enemies who toyed with them at will, the endless chaos, and the horrific scenes brought unparalleled shock to the half-demon people.
This is not a humiliation for one person or one country, or even for one race, but a humiliation that has been inflicted on all the half-demons of the Great Wind Plains for countless years!
The half-demon of the Great Wind Plains is the perfect vessel for cultivating the Great Ascension Killing Path. In fact, it could be said that there is no better place to cultivate the Great Ascension Killing Path!
Especially after the Half-Demon True Lord's attempt to attack Fengmo by manipulating the dragon veins failed, and the Demon Saint issued a declaration of annihilation, the anger and humiliation in the hearts of the Half-Demon people reached their peak.
Those mournful dragon roars were a reflection of the feelings of the half-demon people at that moment.
When Qin Sang set up the altar and performed the ritual, a glimmer of hope appeared in their desperate situation.
The half-demon True Lord trusted Qin Sang and the Dao Court. The half-demon people also followed them. They had absolute trust and recognition in Qin Sang, who stood up to punish the Demon Saint, and regarded him as their savior.
Even the mortals of the half-demon kingdoms, who were powerless to even kill a chicken, were completely absorbed in their own world, clenching their fists and letting out hysterical roars to cheer for Qin Sang and for their savior.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
……
The eight dragon veins roared to the sky, their voices hoarse and strained, speaking out to the heavens on behalf of their half-demon people and howling at their enemies.
They want to wash away their humiliation and wipe away their shame.
Since there is no way out, I am willing to follow you to the death!
Ning, let's perish together!
The emotion was so intense that it shook Qin Sang to her core.
Back then, when the Storm Realm fell into another world, it did not encounter such a desperate situation, because Master Ning secretly protected it.
No, how can the Storm Realm be compared to the half-demons of the Great Wind Plains?
This was the humiliation accumulated over generations, which erupted completely at this moment.
This power far exceeded Qin Sang's imagination.
His mind seemed to split into countless parts, sensing the intense thoughts of each half-demon citizen—their fear, their despair, their humiliation and anger, and their expectations of themselves, hoping that he would lead them to defeat the powerful enemy, dispel the shadows that shrouded them, and lead them toward the light. Their hopes were so sincere.
Can you really bear to betray such unwavering trust?
This... is the Mahayana Killing Path?
Qin Sang did not see himself as the savior of the half-demons of the Great Wind Plains, but he happened to be in this position. What if he had human compatriots, the Storm Realm, or disciples of the Green Sheep Temple behind him?
He didn't think about his own identity or origin; he wholeheartedly tried to understand and comprehend it.
I ask you, which other cultivators practicing the Mahayana path can gain this kind of trust during the Void Refinement stage?
Moreover, there are also the thoughts of several half-demon true lords among them!
Back then, he only established the Jiaosheng Kingdom and replaced the Zhuqian Dynasty, one of the Five Great Kingdoms, yet he still elevated the Ziwei Sword Scripture to its peak.
Qin Sang had previously fantasized about using the power of the entire half-demon clan to help her cultivate, and now that dream had come true.
The effect far exceeded expectations, and of course, the impact was also far beyond expectations. Qin Sang could hardly bear it and was horrified to find that his own Dao foundation had been shaken!
Just then, the Thunder Sacrifice Oath was shattered by the Phoenix Clan Demon Saint.
Qin Sang had anticipated this, as the power of the altar was closely related to the size of the territory and the strength of the Daoist followers.
Although he possessed the Gengchu Zhizhi Altar and the Dugong Seal, there were only four incomplete Jingtan Altars under the Zhizhi Altar. The combined territory of the four Jingtan Altars was comparable to that of a single Jingtan Altar during the heyday of the Daoist court.
The masters of the four altars, including himself, are all cultivators at the Refinement stage; the masters of the main altar and branch altars have even lower cultivation levels.
If he could connect with the Divine Court and invite the God of Talismans, it might make up for some of the damage, but he couldn't.
If these alone are enough to defeat the combined forces of the Phoenix Clan's demon saints, then the Daoist methods are simply too heaven-defying. Why would he bother to scheme and curry favor with that Senior Zhou?
This defeat was expected, but Qin Sang had already achieved her goal.
Not only did it buy time for Faxiang, it also made the half-demon of Dafengyuan trust him completely, and even the half-demon Zhenjun became a tool for him to comprehend the Mahayana killing path!
……
On the sycamore tree.
The woman in the phoenix crown was stunned, somewhat incredulous. She hadn't expected the Daoist Thunder Spell to be broken so quickly.
Even the Wood God Envoy and the four True Lords were stunned, let alone the fact that it was her.
The Thunder Oath was defeated too quickly and too unexpectedly.
No one could have imagined that a mere Void Refinement cultivator would be so audacious as to manipulate so many powerful beings!
In an instant, beams of gaze were directed toward the Heavenly Cang Kingdom.
The woman in the phoenix crown didn't remain stunned for long. When she confirmed that the so-called Daoist Thunder Magic was indeed just a paper tiger, which had made her feel like she was facing a formidable enemy, she couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry. She shouted, "Playing tricks!"
The other demon saints shared the same sentiment, instantly unleashing a torrent of killing intent.
Between heaven and earth, all the phoenixes soared into the nine heavens, and endless flames converged towards them, transforming into a stream of fire that blotted out the sun and tore through the lingering thunder and lightning in the void. In an instant, it traversed millions of miles of sky, destroying everything in its path, and heading straight for the Heavenly Kingdom.
The offensive and defensive momentum is different!
However, Qin Sang did not have the strength to resist this power. Feeling that earth-shattering power, Qin Sang seemed to have just woken up from a meditative state, and her eyelids trembled slightly.
Beside the altar.
Bai Ying'er remained focused on the spiritual core, single-mindedly maintaining the spiritual network, unaware of what was happening outside or the impending crisis.
“Ying’er…”
Finally, she heard her master's command. Without hesitation, she mobilized the power of the Spirit Network with all her might, activated the supernatural powers she had prepared, and summoned Senior Zhou and the Qianzhou Spirit Network.
Qin Sang's desperate plea was transmitted through the Spirit Network.
"Senior Zhou, save me!"
