If the Emei Sect's Liangyi Six Harmonies Microdust Formation could be fully established, and everyone worked together, there was still hope of capturing all these monsters.
Unfortunately, at the last moment, although Qi Shuming managed to seize the Central Palace and raised the Illusion Gate, the Annihilation Gate which was central to the entire formation was breached.
If Xuan Zhenzi had not been highly skilled in Daoist techniques and quick to react, he would have been struck down on the spot by the monsters and Xuanyuan Dharma King, with both body and soul destroyed!
Over forty monsters swarmed towards Xuanyuan Dharma King.
Xuanyuan Dharma King also realized this and stretched all five fingers of his right hand into his mouth, biting them all and then flicking his blood forward, quickly reciting a secret spell.
From the wounds on his five fingers gushed five red beams of Demon Light, shooting straight towards those monsters.
"Great Uncle Master! Your junior nephew is here to welcome your escape from disaster and resurrection!"
Those monsters, like people who had been hungry for a long time suddenly seeing a feast, all rushed forward, eagerly sucking in the blood Qi.
Shi Feiyang, with the Nine Suspicions Tripod in his mouth, first collected the Xuanyuan Nine Swords and then, with the power of the Treasure Tripod, collected all the "Netherworld Phoenix" body fragments scattered all over the sky.
Grandmaster Ha Ha bellowed angrily and formed seals with both hands, releasing a column of golden light.
He intended to use the method of controlling Demon Beasts to control Shi Feiyang.
The golden column enveloped Shi Feiyang, intending to forcefully shrink him and bring him closer, but Shi Feiyang's body did not contain his flesh and blood, nor did his Primordial Spirit contain any of his evil curses. Grinding his teeth and frowning, he exerted himself in casting the spell.
Shi Feiyang felt no response and saw his golden light coming, not only did he not shrink, but instead, he expanded his 1,200 tentacles and grew two sizes larger.
The golden light shined onto the belly of Shi Feiyang from below, and could not cover his entire body, nor had any effect.
Shi Feiyang ignored him and saw many monsters moving together to drink Xuanyuan Dharma King's demonically refined Essence Blood; he also floated over from above.
All the monsters belonged to the Sky Lusting Sect Leader and were able to communicate telepathically with each other; while he could deceive others, he could not fool the other monsters.
As he drew near, the other monsters all "exploded with rage," turned around, and began to attack him.
No matter how powerful Shi Feiyang was, he couldn't withstand so many monsters attacking him at the same time. Hurriedly, he maneuvered his tentacles, retreating upward and backward, and let out a roar while doing so.
Xuanyuan Dharma King was puzzled, wondering why the Great Uncle Masters were fighting among themselves?
While increasing the output of his blood Qi, he said, "Great Uncle Master, don't rush, don't snatch. Your junior nephew has cultivated for over a thousand years, enough to support your revitalization and rebirth!"
Shi Feiyang could see from afar that these monsters were ferocious and vicious. If it weren't for their greed for the blood Qi delivered by Xuanyuan Dharma King, they would probably have swarmed to attack and kill him already.
He also saw that Grandmaster Ha Ha was no longer attacking the Emei Sect but instead was about to pounce on him.
Obviously, having just swallowed the Xuanyuan Nine Swords and being alone, Grandmaster Ha Ha had enough reason to attack him, whether it was to take the monsters or retrieve the nine swords.
Shi Feiyang didn't wait for him to come close and turned around to head toward the Northwest direction.
There, was the Sky Lusting Sect Leader's top disciple, the leader of the Mystics Yin Sect, Evil Corpse Gu Chen!
Gu Chen had just escaped from Master Can Xia, who was guarding the Ming Gate, and was flying over quickly. Seeing Shi Feiyang, he immediately let out a long howl, excitedly calling Shi Feiyang "Master."
Shi Feiyang did not respond and dived into the pitch-black Divine Curtain of Mystics Yin next to him.
Following him, Grandmaster Ha Ha arrived and formed seals with both hands, still directing the golden seal light that controlled monsters, unwilling to give up without another try.
Evil Corpse Gu Chen was very dissatisfied. He raised his hand and released a swath of Mystics Yin Cold Flame to block the golden light, saying, "Grandmaster Ha Ha, what are you trying to do?!"
Grandmaster Ha Ha did not take him seriously; if it had been Gu Chen from a thousand years ago, he might have been able to put up a fight with Grandmaster Ha Ha.
Over the past thousand years, Grandmaster Ha Ha's mana had grown deeper, and he had become a super first-class master in this world.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, specifically made enemies with Perfected Jile, Elder Kuzhu, Master Changmei, and kept losing battles. Finally, he was defeated by Master Changmei, his Dao level dropped and he was killed by the Seven Sword Heart Execution.
Now that he had resurrected, he had become a Demon Corpse.
Grandmaster Ha Ha took out a Demon Banner, gave it a light shake, and "crack" exploded a series of yellow dust accompanied by purple-black Demon Fire.
A series of yellow dust Demon Thunders blasted towards Gu Chen, scattering the Cold Flame that he had released.
Gu Chen was so angry his black zombie hair stood on end, his eyes flashed with Green Light, and he roared. With both hands forming a seal, he sprouted multitude Mystics Yin Divine Thunders, blasting them back!
Back then, on the banks of the Yuan River, he didn't gain any advantage when he dueled Huo Wuhai, and instead, Huo Wuhai tricked him into destroying his Second Primordial Spirit, making him so angry he itched for revenge.
These years he was focused on revenge, searching for treasures abroad, creating his Three Corpse Incarnations, and painstakingly developed methods to counter Huo Wuhai's True Sun Fire.
In his view, his Mystics Yin Great Method far surpassed Huo Wuhai's; it was just a lack of Mystics Yin Evil Qi. Thus, he specifically went to Long Night Island in the North Sea to cultivate.
Even if he could win in terms of spells, Huo Wuhai had acquired many powerful treasures from the Yuan River, especially the Five Clouds Separation and Union.
Back then, it was just a Yin Talisman used by Master Lianshan, one of the Four Demonic Refining Treasures. Now with the Yin Talisman and Yang Talisman combined, it became even more formidable. He had no treasures capable of facing it, so he forcibly held back and did not immediately seek revenge on Huo Wuhai.
Shi Feiyang had now encountered Grandmaster Ha Ha and knew that he was a formidable opponent, so he brought out the methods he had reserved for seeking vengeance on Huo Wuhai.
He took out a small tripod. This tripod, which he had stolen from Xiankong Ancestor's home on Wuding Island in the North Sea, was called the Cold Mist Treasure Tripod.
Inside the tripod were originally filled with cold flame divine thunders refined by Xiankong Ancestor, but he had collected a vast amount of Mystics Yin Evil Qi on Long Night Island and spent countless painstaking efforts refining it with the Mystics Yin Great Method, transforming it into Mystics Yin Divine Thunder.
One thunder pearl alone could shatter a mountain peak, far more formidable than what he could create out of thin air with spells. The more than a thousand pearls he had sprayed earlier were not as powerful as just two or three of these.
Grandmaster Ha Ha did not take him seriously at first and simply wanted to quickly defeat him in order to chase after the fleeing monsters inside the Mystics Yin Divine Curtain, never expecting that this Demon Corpse would have such a trick up his sleeve.
Gu Chen saw that Grandmaster Ha Ha was looking down on him, and being someone who always retaliated for grievances, he couldn't bear it. In an instant, he took out thirteen Mystics Yin Divine Thunders from the tripod and fired them in rapid succession at Grandmaster Ha Ha.
Grandmaster Ha Ha saw thirteen balls of bowl-sized cold light flying towards him. At first, he was not very concerned and simply used the demon banner in his hand to throw demon thunder to counter it.
Little did he know that once these Mystics Yin Divine Thunders exploded, they would immediately unleash a biting cold light and cold flame, rapidly expanding to a diameter of three thousand zhang.
Thirteen thunder pearls exploded at the same time. The powerful blast, as real as a physical hit, struck against Grandmaster Ha Ha head-on. He hastily realized danger, thrust forward the banner in his hand to block, and as a huge dust cloud exploded to ten thousand zhang, he protected himself, simultaneously transforming into a streak of golden light and flying backwards—scarcely preserving his flesh.
Gu Chen was astonished that his desperate use of thirteen precious thunder pearls had failed to kill his opponent, marvelling at the old monster's incredible prowess after not encountering him for hundreds of years; the old guy's mana had truly reached an unfathomable level.
Shi Feiyang, watching from within the Mystics Yin Divine Curtain, knew that Gu Chen was no match for Grandmaster Ha Ha; the difference in their strengths was too great.
He also noticed that the Mystics Yin Divine Curtain was impressive, pitch black like ink and viscous yet silky. Since Gu Chen emerged from Mangcang Mountain, the Mystics Yin Divine Curtain above the Yuan River had been burnt by Huo Wuhai, leaving it riddled with holes.
This was its newly sacrificially refined version from the remnants on Long Night Island in the North Pole, even more formidable than the original, and now with added chilling cold qi, making it quite comfortable to stay inside.
He then opened his massive mouth and continued to activate the Nine Suspicions Tripod, furiously sucking in the sprawling thousand mile-super Mystics Yin Divine Curtain into the tripod.
Demon Corpse Gu Chen was locked in a duel with Grandmaster Ha Ha in the front, and the battle had escalated; he had already used the Three Corpse Incarnations, while Grandmaster Ha Ha unleashed the Golden Buddha Body, both sides fiercely contending with their mana.
Suddenly, he felt the Mystics Yin Divine Curtain at his back rapidly collapsing and slipping out of his control.
Startled, Demon Corpse Gu Chen realized that this treasure was linked to his very life and wondered how someone could be taking it away so easily!
In the midst of his busyness, he sent back a recollection and sensed that it was his "master" doing the taking, as smooth as a giant whale absorbing water.
Although Gu Chen was reluctant in his heart, he quickly came to terms with reality, knowing that his master was just about to be resurrected and had no treasure to support his presence. The Mystics Yin Divine Curtain was the signature of his own sect; naturally, his master would casually collect and use it.
No wonder the taking was so smooth. Since it was the master, there was nothing strange about it—after all, his master's Mystics Yin Great Method had cultivated to the supreme realm!
He calmed his heart and continued to duel with Grandmaster Ha Ha, allowing Shi Feiyang to collect the entire Mystics Yin Divine Curtain into the Nine Suspicions Tripod.
Once the sprawling thousand-mile Mystics Yin Divine Curtain was taken away, the place immediately regained the blue sky and Sun where previously one could not see the fingers when outstretched.
Gu Chen fought with Grandmaster Ha Ha with great difficulty and shouted loudly to Shi Feiyang for help, "Master! This Grandmaster Ha Ha is too formidable, please lend your disciple a hand!"
After transmitting his voice several times to no avail, he was puzzled. Glancing back, he saw under the bright and clear universe, where was there still the presence of that monstrous octopus beast!
Grandmaster Ha Ha saw the coverage of the Mystics Yin Divine Curtain steadily shrinking. When it shrunk to the size of a thousand zhang, he felt it strange. By the time it completely disappeared, he was even more shocked.
He immediately conjectured that perhaps the monster had turned invisible and hastily bit the tip of his tongue to spray out blood. Forming hand seals to sense through the air, where could he sense anything—all of his senses were being drawn away by the Xuanyuan Dharma King!
Grandmaster Ha Ha harbored no other suspicions, convinced there was nothing that could arbitrarily take on the appearance of these beasts. Even if there were such powerful divine demons capable of transformation, they surely could not escape his eyes!
He assumed that the monster had also gone to join its companions.
As his primary goal right now was to capture as many beasts as possible to prevent years of hard work from being in vain, as the monster was already gone, he no longer cared to duel with Gu Chen.
Grandmaster Ha Ha immediately left Demon Corpse Gu Chen behind, turning around to fly towards Xuanyuan Dharma King, while Demon Corpse Gu Chen also hurriedly followed.
Just like Xuanyuan Dharma King, he bit all ten fingers' tips, casting the spell to turn into a sky of blood rain, offering it as a sacrifice to his master.
The forty-six monsters, like koi fish competing for food, began absorbing the blood vigorously.
These years, they had been tormented by Grandmaster Ha Ha. Even though they had received some fresh blood and flesh during pregnancy, it was not as good as offering the essence blood of a disciple and a master's nephew who had cultivated for a thousand years.
At this time, Shi Feiyang stood invisibly atop the clouds, calmly watching from above.
He was waiting.
The Emei Sect's Qi Shuming and others had also gathered together, including disciples like Qi Lingyun; they were waiting, too.
After waiting approximately the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a large expanse of golden light suddenly appeared from the Southern direction. An old monk, stepping on golden light, swiftly flew over. It was Zen Master Bai Mei, with Zhu Youmu on the left and Li Ning on the right.
"Amitabha Buddha!"
With a chant of Buddhist invocation, from the East came another old monk—Zen Master Tian Meng, accompanied by Xie Shan, including Xie Ying and Xie Lin.
Then from the West came a golden bridge, at the head of which stood a youth in goose-yellow robes—Jile Perfected Master Li Jingxu, along with his disciple Qin Yu.
From the North, a white light shot forth like lightning, the glow opening to reveal an old woman with white hair. It was none other than Elder Yan Yingmu of the Miao Zhen Temple, accompanied by Jiang Xuejun.
As soon as these four high masters appeared, the monsters became agitated, speeding up their consumption of the fresh blood.
Upon arrival, Li Jingxu immediately spoke to Qi Shuming from a distance, "Hurry, arrange the Liangyi Dust Formation again!"
