Chapter 509 A guiding light for all beings, illuminating the entire world!
That great battle took place at the end of the Primordial Era.
At that time, the laws of heaven and earth were not yet stable, and the power of gods and demons could directly interfere with the human world.
The eleven plague gods are the embodiment of chaotic plagues, ominous signs wandering the human world. They use the human world as a furnace to refine the mother seeds of all plagues, attempting to drag the three realms into decay and disease.
The twelve divine beasts sensed the call of Heaven and thus revealed their true forms, relentlessly pursuing the plague gods who wreaked havoc on the human world, thus beginning their fateful duel.
She saw: a skeletal tiger wreathed in eerie green phosphorescent flames, a raven-headed humanoid figure formed from condensed black mist, a blind old man clad in chains, and a translucent, dreamlike butterfly...
There were also gargoyles the size of mountains, a floating thousand-eyed bronze compass, a bloodthirsty giant pieced together from severed limbs and pierced with torture instruments, and a chaotic human face waving its fleshy growths and tentacles...
However, despite the various forms and astonishing power of these plague gods, they still appeared so fragile and vulnerable in the face of the twelve divine beasts.
A eats evil, Jiwei eats tiger, Xiongbo eats demon, Tengjian eats misfortune, Lanzhu eats calamity, Boqi eats dreams, Qiangliang and Zuming eat parasitic creatures, Weisui eats Guan, Cuoduan eats giants, and Qiongqi and Tenggen eat Gu. ("The Twelve Beasts Eating Ghosts Song")
Ultimately, the demon realm crumbled in the ensuing chaos.
Chu Lengyu observed all of this from afar, and even though she was in the gap of history, she could still feel the terrifying power that shot straight to the top of her head.
The term "natural enemy" is not just a figure of speech; the twelve mythical beasts truly prey on them.
No wonder the eleven plague gods have been dormant since records began.
Chu Lengyu even wondered if the several plague gods who had been silent since ancient times were actually still alive.
In this light, after suffering heavy losses in that battle, neither the Parasitic Plague God nor any other Plague God is as powerful as outsiders believe.
Moreover, during this battle, she paid special attention to the methods the divine beasts used to subdue the plague god and discovered some secrets about the Demon Abyss.
The scene before my eyes suddenly froze, then slowly dissipated.
Chu Lengyu stood on a crimson lotus of karmic fire suspended in the sky, while the Lone Sword in her palm emitted a clear and melodious dragon's roar.
Nine bronze cauldrons beside her slowly rotated, the patterns engraved on their bodies gleaming with gilded light.
"Click——"
Demonic tentacles, carrying a putrid stench, broke through the boundary and were covered with purplish-black tumors.
The very source and root of the plague god has finally appeared in the world!
"Activate the formation!" Danzhu, hidden within the world of the book, looked solemn as he made hand seals, activating the protective formation that had been meticulously prepared.
The formation instantly activated, firmly protecting the entire Great Xia world within it. Those mortals who had no power to resist had already been taken into the world of the book.
The moment the tentacles slammed into the array barrier, a sharp, resonant sound erupted, deafeningly loud.
The shattered or corroded array patterns were quickly repaired by the Xuanhuang Qi gushing out from the Nine Cauldrons, as if they possessed an inexhaustible power.
A resolute glint flashed in Chu Lengyu's eyes. She bit her tongue, and a mouthful of blood gushed out, transforming into a talisman that was imprinted on the heart of the red lotus.
In an instant, the karmic fire surged three thousand feet, and layers of blood-red petals unfolded, dyeing half the sky crimson.
Within those crimson waves of fire, the phantom of an ancient battlefield appeared.
That was the karmic force of slaughter suppressed by the Nine Cauldrons, which at this moment was completely materialized, transforming into an endless sea of killing fire!
As the flames shot straight up the tendrils along the veins, the cries of countless wronged souls shattered the clouds, and the countless demonic souls that were parasitized and hidden in the roots were actually refined by the karmic fire!
"Not enough!" Chu Lengyu's pupils contracted.
She saw that the cut surface of the tentacle was growing fleshy buds wildly, and even heard a series of teeth-grinding chewing sounds.
The plague god is actually devouring the spiritual veins of the Great Xia world!
The Nine Cauldrons seemed to be enraged, suddenly emitting a deafening roar, and spewing out even more primordial yellow energy from their mouths, surging and turbulent.
Chu Lengyu formed hand seals, and the spiritual power of the Earth Immortal flowed from her fingertips, transforming into strands of golden silk that flowed into the inscriptions on the cauldron.
The landscape paintings carved on the nine provinces floated up from the surface of the cauldron.
The bustling capital, the vast northern frontier, the gentle Jiangnan region, the magnificent East China Sea, the treacherous Western Shu… layer upon layer of phantoms suppressed the tentacles that were gnawing at the Great Xia.
"cut!!"
Chu Lengyu brandished her sword, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth, and the sword light transformed into a white dragon that stretched across the sky.
The white dragon charged out, smashing the ends of its tentacles, and its claws tore open the rotting flesh at its core, revealing the pulsating crimson demonic core within.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire drilled in along the sword mark, and then exploded from inside the demon core!
The injured tentacles emitted a piercing shriek that shattered the void, and the remaining tentacles suddenly merged into a massive, mountain-like tumor, the top of which split open into a gaping maw filled with sharp teeth.
"It's no use." The voice of the God of Plague was like a rolling thunderclap, shaking the four seas and eight wastelands. "You are not the first ant to try to resist."
His tentacles roamed the void, and wherever they swept across, the East Sea surged with fury, and islands collapsed with a deafening roar.
It was as if He could easily crush any obstacle that stood in His way.
Blood trickled from the corner of Chu Lengyu's mouth, yet a chilling smile remained on her face.
She looked up at the overwhelming, demonic shadow, her unyielding spine a testament to the indomitable spirit passed down through generations.
Above the clouds, nine bronze cauldrons slowly appeared, majestic and magnificent, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
The cauldron spouted the primordial energy that had accumulated since the time of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and then the phantom images of emperors from past dynasties appeared, some majestic, some compassionate, some wise, all protecting this world.
"Dong-dong-dong-!"
Suddenly, earth-shaking war drums resounded across the land.
An old soldier with white hair beats the drum to break the enemy lines, a child holds an ocarina and plays a folk song, and a shepherd plays a tune passed down through generations.
Farmers offered millet for ancestral worship, embroiderers presented woven brocade, and scholars burned bamboo slips inscribed with prayers.
The people of Kyushu spontaneously lit countless lights in their homes, and countless golden lights converged toward the Nine Cauldrons, forming a long golden river.
The phantom images of our ancestors float and sink within the nine tripods, chanting sacrificial prayers in unison, melodious and solemn.
"She is borrowing the power of the wishes of all living beings!" exclaimed a bystander in the shadows.
At this moment, heaven and earth were completely silent.
Amidst the intertwined red and white flames, the demonic energy melted away like ice and snow.
Dawn finally pierced the darkness.
The clouds burst forth with colorful rays of light, and the spiritual energy transformed into golden rain that showered down upon the land, nourishing all living things.
The earth veins of the Central Plains continued to rise, forming new mountain ranges, and the peaks bloomed with ever-before-seen magnificent spiritual flowers.
—The Great Xia World finally broke free from its shackles and ascended to the Great Thousand World through the tempering of karmic fire!
The fierce gale enveloped the Great Xia world layer by layer. The remaining parasitic race, led by Si Que, was caught off guard by the sudden increase in the gale and was trapped inside, unable to move forward or backward.
Si Que was filled with panic; she had no time to figure out what had happened.
Whether it was Chu Lengyu's sudden return after advancing to the Earth Immortal realm, or the Plague God's personal manifestation of a part of his true form to kill her, all of this was beyond her imagination.
Her proud seventh-level Mahayana cultivation seemed so insignificant at this moment, unable to bring her the slightest sense of security.
Si Que was hesitating whether she should desert in front of the God of Plague when a silver sword light swept towards her, first piercing her heart and then turning her into dust!
This rising star of the parasitic race perished on the spot.
She never understood why ants dared to raise their swords against the gods, just as the God of Plague would never understand why those fragile mortals, when kneeling before His statue, always had an indomitable fire burning in their eyes.
Chu Lengyu stood in the center of the cauldron formation, clasped his hands and bowed to the four directions: "Fellow Daoists, please lend me your strength!"
The nine tripods trembled and hummed.
For the first time, the fate of the human race has been subtly merging into one.
At this moment, all the myriad worlds of the starry sea saw it.
Thus, the dragons spat out their natal dragon pearls, ten thousand sword lights flew from the holy land, and even the usually neutral Myriad Star Alliance radiated seven-colored precious light.
The beam of light pierced through the demonic miasma, weaving a golden net that stretched across the sea of stars.
The constellation, which had remained silent for so long, finally lit up its representative star, announcing its stance.
High-level cultivators are more sensitive to changes in fortune, and at this moment they unanimously made a judgment that was more beneficial to themselves.
Chu Lengyu poured all her killing intent into the sword.
Rumor has it that the God of Plague is immortal and indestructible, and she is determined to test his power!
