Chapter 159: The Protagonist of Heaven and Earth
"The real master is here."
Li Anran immediately noticed that the Samadhi Fire had been extinguished, and then he stopped casting the spell.
Samadhi True Fire is not a rare spell. There are many people in the Three Realms who know how to use it, and there are better ways to restrain it.
Although his Samadhi True Fire is more powerful than that of ordinary cultivators, it is just the Samadhi True Fire!
Since the monster in the Blood Demon Cave could extinguish that ball of Samadhi True Fire, it could also extinguish more. If he continued to cast spells, it would only be a waste of magic power.
Things turned out just as he expected.
Less than half a quarter of an hour after he stopped, the blazing Samadhi True Fire in the Blood Demon Cave was completely extinguished.
However, after this burning, the stalactites in the mountain belly had turned into magma and gathered into a ball.
Even if the monster put out the fire, the cave would be completely destroyed.
boom!
The mountain suddenly split in the middle, rocks flew everywhere, mud filled the air, and the left and right sides of the mountain collapsed to the sides, revealing the solidified black magma inside.
call--
A huge white-haired bat flew out, with sharp fangs and bloodshot eyes. Its two fleshy wings spread out and were several thousand meters long, covering half of the mountain.
Countless black bats surrounded it, as dark as a dark cloud, constantly baring their teeth at Li Anran and emitting bursts of shrill and noisy screams.
"There are so many." Li Anran was a little surprised.
His fire was about to burn the entire mountain, but he didn't expect that there would still be so many fish caught in the net.
The descendants of the white-haired bat had suffered countless casualties and had no intention of talking to Li Anran at all. It glared at Li Anran fiercely with a pair of scarlet eyes and opened its mouth towards him.
Li Anran's first reaction was that the white-haired bat wanted to eat him, but he soon realized that it was not the case!
If you want to eat him, you either need to rush over or suck him over. Both of these will cause quite a lot of noise, but at this moment, nothing unusual can be seen...
Can't see?!
Could it be sound waves?
Li Anran suddenly remembered everything he had seen about bats in his previous life. He quickly stepped back and at the same time cast the spell of Sky Eye.
Buzz!
The eye on Li Anran's forehead opened, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
All I saw were circles of sound waves invisible to the naked eye spreading outward from the mouth of the white-haired bat.
Li Anran saw this kind of attack method for the first time and did not dare to resist it. He swayed his body and continued to move back to create distance.
However, this sound wave spreads in all directions, penetrating every hole and cannot be avoided.
Moreover, he was sent by Taiyi Zhenren to eliminate the demon, and he was also afraid that the white-haired bat would take the opportunity to escape.
Li Anran estimated that he had retreated more than a thousand miles, and when the power of the sound waves was less than one-tenth of its original strength, he stopped.
Buzz!
The sound waves swept through the body, as if countless hammers were hitting it continuously.
Li Anran only felt a slight soreness and numbness in his body and a slight headache.
My ears just don't feel good!
Buzzing!
In a trance, I seemed to hear the call of the white-haired bat.
It's a bit like a mouse, but sharper and more piercing, just like a drill, drilling into your flesh and blood, into your bone marrow and brain little by little.
"You evil creature, where are you escaping to!" the white-haired bat roared angrily.
Li Anran was afraid that the white-haired bat would run away, so he didn't dare to retreat too far. But in the eyes of the white-haired bat, it seemed that Li Anran was afraid and wanted to escape.
The white-haired bat flapped its fleshy wings at an extremely high frequency and caught up with Li Anran in the blink of an eye.
The bats' descendants followed closely behind, screaming, some fast and some slow, dragging a black belt of bats in the sky.
These bats were obviously notorious for their viciousness. Their appearance caused chaos in the sky and on the ground.
All kinds of birds and beasts were in chaos and fled in panic. Even some demons who had attained the Tao were frightened so much that their faces turned pale. They raised a gust of evil wind and hid as far away as possible.
Li Anran noticed that the white-haired bat was not speaking human language or animal language, but the ancient demon language that not many people can speak or even know nowadays!
Li Anran knew all this because he had once conducted sting operations on those ancient demon clan saints imprisoned in the No. 1 cell of the Heavenly Prison, watched their life stories, and learned the ancient demon clan language by the way.
"Is this white-haired bat an old monster that survived from ancient times? No wonder it's so powerful!"
Li Anran's eyes narrowed and he became more cautious.
Even though the sound waves had no effect on him.
That's because he is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and he has also practiced the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong, which has integrated his essence, energy, and spirit into one, making his body extremely powerful.
If it were an ordinary Golden Immortal, just that one strike would be enough to shatter their internal organs, flesh, blood, and soul into blood for the white-haired bat to suck.
The white-haired bat in front of him was at least at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and might even be a cultivator at the Daluo Golden Immortal realm!
The only good news is that he has never seen this white-haired bat in the lives of those great demon saints!
This also means that this white-haired bat is not a great sage from the ancient demon court, and its cultivation level cannot be too outrageous.
"I will use your blood to feed my descendants!"
The white-haired bat hated Li Anran so much that it opened its mouth and was about to release sound waves again.
Li Anran had already taken action before him!
whoosh!
A golden light suddenly flew out from Li Anran's hand, pierced through the void, and disappeared in an instant. When it reappeared, it was already in front of the white-haired bat.
It was the Vajra File, the innate spiritual treasure that Taiyi Zhenren had previously bestowed upon Li Anran!
The white-haired bat sensed the threat and immediately stopped what it was doing with its mouth, flapping its wings to dodge to the side, but it was too late.
puff!
The golden light directly shattered the white-haired bat's wings, and green blood spurted out, spilling on the hillside below, making a hissing sound.
The trees all over the mountain turned yellow in an instant, and the entire mountain seemed to be half as tall as before.
The white-haired bat let out a scream and its body plummeted down over a hundred meters before it stabilized itself. But at this moment, the golden light appeared in its field of vision again!
So close!
puff!
The white-haired bat had no time to dodge and was hit by the diamond file again. The left half of its body was shattered and blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
That is to say, the monsters are huge in size, with rough skin and flesh, and the white-haired bat is also powerful, otherwise this one blow would be enough to completely shatter its body!
whoosh!
Li Anran did not stop. With a thought, the Vajra File flew out again, ready to kill him while he was sick.
At this moment, the white bat suddenly disappeared.
"Huh?" Li Anran was stunned, and immediately used the Sky Eye spell and instantly found the trace of the white-haired bat.
However, it used its magical power to change its size to the size of an ordinary bat and blended in with its own bats.
"Where are you escaping to!" Li Anran immediately urged the Vajra File to chase after the white-haired bat.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
The white-haired bat's descendants rushed over like crazy and stood between the white-haired bat and Li Anran.
In front of the diamond file, these bat spirits are not even ants. They are shattered into ashes almost the moment they touch the diamond file.
However, they did not hesitate at all, and continued to charge forward one after another, relying on their numbers to buy the white-haired bats some time to catch their breath and fight back.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Waves of fishing drum sounds emanated from the flock of bats, filling the entire sky and earth.
The diamond file was not affected at all and remained unstoppable, piercing the flock of bats in an instant.
Li Anran's body trembled, and his eyes gradually became dazed.
At this moment, all the colors and sounds in the world began to fade and disappear.
The only sound in his world was the bang bang of fishing drums!
Buzz!
A green light flew out from Li Anran's chest, and it turned out to be a palm-sized bronze mirror!
Its material is neither gold nor jade. There is a faint green glow on the front and mysterious Taoist patterns on the back. It looks raised, but there are no marks when you touch it. It is neither carved nor painted, and it is deeply embedded in the bone.
It was another magic weapon, the Tianguang Mirror, bestowed upon Li Anran by Taiyi Zhenren!
The Skylight Mirror was suspended in the air, shining brightly, and rays of green light burst out, tearing through the darkness.
The sound of the fishing drum was also dispersed, becoming farther and farther away, lower and lower, and almost inaudible.
Li Anran regained consciousness, but did not rush to open his eyes. Instead, he kept his eyes closed and motionless, observing the movements of the outside world with his mind.
"My children, I will avenge you now!"
The flock of bats dispersed, revealing the white-haired bats hiding inside.
A pair of fishing drums was suspended above its head, and the two bamboo tubes kept colliding and striking each other, sending out light blue ripples.
The white-haired bat flew to Li Anran, opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Li Anran's neck.
Snap!
The moment the fangs fell, the sweet and delicious neck turned into a spear.
The white-haired bat didn't have time to react, and its two fangs were broken into pieces, with blood flowing out of its mouth.
Li Anran grabbed the white-haired bat's neck.
The big and small Ruyi magical powers are somewhat similar to the Fa Tian Xiang Di. When you become bigger, your physical strength will also increase, and when you become smaller, your physical strength will also decrease.
This white-haired bat is now only the size of a palm. Li Anran easily grasped it, and then used a diamond file to pierce its dantian and scapula, sealing its magical power and soul.
The other bat spirits wanted to save it, but Li Anran killed them all in the blink of an eye.
The white-haired bat was furious, but more afraid, and said tremblingly: "Who are you? I have no grudge against you, why do you want to kill me?"
This time he did not use the ancient demon language, but the language of today's human race!
"You and I have no grudges, but you are causing trouble for the people, which is intolerable! I am here on the orders of Taiyi Tianzun to eliminate this evil for the people!"
Li Anran deliberately spoke loudly, raised the ivory gun, and pretended to kill the white-haired bat.
"Li Anran, spare his life!"
At this time, a auspicious cloud floated over the sky, and on the top of the cloud stood an old Taoist with white hair and a youthful face. It was none other than Taishang Laojun!
I was right!
This white-haired bat is Zhang Guolao’s previous life!
When Li Anran saw the fishing drum, which belonged to the innate category, he already had some doubts in his heart.
Seeing Taishang Laojun come forward to stop them at this time, it confirmed that his guess was correct.
The magic weapon like the fishing drum is really rare. Among all the mythological figures he knows, only Zhang Guolao uses it!
The fishing drum before you, which is considered to be innate, is even more unique in the world!
However, it is not easy to refine innate magic weapons. Even if the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave are in the midst of a catastrophe and have the blessing of destiny, it is difficult for them to use them skillfully in a short period of time.
If this fishing drum is really Zhang Guolao's fishing drum, then he may very well be the reincarnation of this white-haired bat!
This should be what was said in the Jade Slip of Taishang Laojun!
Only after reading the jade slip would Taiyi Zhenren suddenly send him here to exorcise demons and monsters!
After thinking all this through, Li Anran finally understood why Taishang Laojun valued the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave so much.
Let’s not talk about Han Zhongli for now, he was the cowherd boy beside Taishang Laojun, and he was one of his own.
If the other seven are the reincarnations of great powers like Lu Dongbin and Zhang Guolao, then their potential, talents and luck will far exceed those of ordinary people, and their future will be limitless!
They may be able to become Yang Jian and Nezha of Taishang Laojun and help Taishang Laojun to take charge of Xuanmen!
Tathagata had already given him an example of this in the past!
When Tathagata first transformed the Hu people into Buddhas, Dipankara was the Tathagata of Lingshan, and Hinayana Buddhism was the mainstream of Lingshan.
Tathagata relied on recruiting disciples to expand his power bit by bit, and also brought in Guanyin, Manjusri, Samantabhadra and other golden immortals of the orthodox teaching who followed Dipankara to convert to Buddhism into his ranks, eventually becoming the master.
It made the Buddhist master, Dipankara, become the ancient Buddha Dipankara in name only, and it made Maitreya, the direct disciple of Cundi in the Mahayana Buddhism, become the future Buddha Maitreya.
He himself became the Buddha of Lingshan and remains so until today.
"Junior greets the Supreme Taoist Ancestor. I wonder what the Supreme Taoist Ancestor is here for?" Li Anran asked knowingly.
"I came here just for this evil beast."
Taishang Laojun pointed at the white-haired bat and said, "Prison God, although this evil beast has killed countless lives, it did not do evil intentionally."
"It was the first bat born when the world was first created. However, it offended Yinglong of the dragon clan in ancient times, and its three flowers on its head and five qi in its chest were shattered. It could only hide in Zhongtiao Mountain and survive on the blood of living creatures."
"The prison god, please give me some face and give me a chance to reform myself, for the sake of the mercy of heaven."
Seeing that Li Anran looked troubled, he said, "The Heavenly Master already knows about this matter, you just need to go back and report."
"Then follow what the Supreme Daoist Ancestor said."
Li Anran really wanted to lock the white-haired bat in the Heavenly Prison, but since Taishang Laojun had said so, he had no choice but to hand over the white-haired bat.
Taishang Laojun said nothing more, took the white-haired bat, and returned to the Tushita Palace.
Li Anran looked at his leaving back and his heart suddenly moved.
Lü Dongbin's previous life, Emperor Donghua, had a karmic relationship with the Peony Fairy because of the evil dragon in the East China Sea, and was reincarnated and cultivated again because of this incident.
This white-haired bat offended Yinglong and was severely injured. He hid in Zhongtiao Mountain and relied on the blood of living creatures to survive. Now it is the result of reincarnation and cultivation.
Could it be that having a karmic connection with the dragon clan is also one of the conditions for Taishang Laojun to select the Eight Immortals?
He wants to use the lives of the dragon clan to eliminate the karma and deal with this catastrophe?
No! Not the Dragon Clan!
Li Anran quickly denied this.
The number of dragons is far from enough to eliminate the cause and effect karma between heaven and earth, but it is very likely to be done at the cost of the lives of the Scaled Armored Clan!
Li Anran thought again of the Eight Immortals’ mortal enemy, He Xiangu’s bootlicker Pangolin.
It also fully fits the identity of the Scale Armor Clan!
The Nanzhanbuzhou is inhabited by the human race, the Xiniuhezhou is inhabited by the demon race, and the Dongsheng Shenzhou is inhabited by the scale-armored race!
Li Anran couldn't help but take a breath.
They used the protagonist of heaven and earth that Tiandao loved in the past and now to deal with the disaster!
Aren’t you really afraid of being rejected by Heaven?
