Chapter 233: Soul-scattering Gourd
There are four major gates in heaven: east, west, south and north.
Nantianmen is the main gate and is the most majestic and spectacular.
When mortal monks go to heaven, such as the monkey who was summoned to heaven, they all go through this gate. The purpose is to show the majesty and solemnity of heaven.
Beitianmen faces Beijuluzhou. It is not only heavily guarded, but also equipped with various mechanisms and formations, and is heavily guarded.
After the defeat, Emperor Zhenwu retreated all the way to Beitianmen, while the monsters from the Demon Master's Mansion chased him all the way.
However, after arriving at the Beitian Gate, the Great Emperor Zhenwu immediately reorganized his troops and launched a counterattack, and in an instant he curbed the offensive of the Demon Master's Mansion.
It was absolutely correct that Li Anran had previously used "Sun Wukong" to explain the matter of the Demon Master's Mansion to Yang Jian.
The Jade Emperor can temporarily put aside his face for the sake of interests, but that doesn’t mean he really doesn’t care about his face.
On the contrary, as the Emperor of Heaven, he cares about his own face and dignity more than anyone else.
It’s just that he firmly believes that he can pick it up again in the future, so he chooses to put it down temporarily.
At the beginning, the Jade Emperor and Tathagata worked together to plot against the monkey and Xuanmen, allowing the monkey to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace. But in the end, they stopped the monkey in the Tongming Palace outside the Lingxiao Palace and did not let the monkey run wild in the Lingxiao Palace.
If the monkey smashes the plaque of Lingxiao Palace, he would not only suffer a loss of one thousand and eight hundred to Xuanmen, but also a loss of ten thousand to himself.
He treated the same thing with the Demon Master's Mansion.
Even because the Demon Master's Mansion is the remnant of the ancient demon court, his tolerance limit is much lower.
This Beitianmen is the final bottom line!
The Heavenly Court can be defeated, and the Demon Master’s Mansion can attack the North Gate of Heaven, but they will never be allowed to set foot into the North Gate of Heaven even once!
Therefore, after arriving at the North Gate of Heaven, the Great Emperor Zhenwu did not go in.
Instead, he ordered the Sky Gate to be closed and the defensive formation to be activated, and he led the army to fight a desperate battle with the Demon Master's Mansion outside the North Sky Gate.
When Li Anran, Yang Jian, Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun Patriarch, and the immortals of heaven who attended the Dan Yuan Conference came out, they saw pieces of rosy clouds falling above the North Gate of Heaven, forming a golden light shield that protected the North Gate of Heaven.
Outside the light shield, a group of heavenly soldiers and generals were fighting with the monsters from the Demon Master’s Mansion.
Not only did the heavenly soldiers and generals not fall into a disadvantage, but they defeated the monsters in the Demon Master's Mansion again and again.
This is mainly thanks to the Great Emperor Zhenwu!
In the distant void, the Zhenwu soap-carved flag swayed gently, dropping thousands of rays of light, forming a huge black cage that covered an area of thousands of miles.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu has his hair loose and is barefoot, wearing a black robe, with a turtle and a snake under his feet, a halo covering his head, and a demon-slaying sword in his hand, exuding murderous aura.
There were thirteen ancient demon saints in front of him, some holding swords, spears, and halberds, some chanting incantations, and some activating magic weapons. All of a sudden, all kinds of magical lights flowed and transformed, illuminating the entire sky with colorful and dazzling lights.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu was well aware that the main gap between the Heavenly Court and the Demon Master's Mansion lay in the number of Daluo Golden Immortals, so he forcibly stopped these ancient demon saints with the Zhenwu Soap Carved Flag.
These ancient demon saints had no intention of leaving and wanted to take this opportunity to kill the great threat, Zhenwu Emperor, first.
Both sides were already blood-thirsty, using all their magical powers in every move.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The aftermath of the magic power produced by the fight surged out, and the void was like a piece of rag, being torn and shaken at will, and the roar was deafening.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu had profound magical powers and extraordinary martial arts, but he soon fell into a disadvantage under the siege of so many ancient demon saints.
However, in just a moment, Emperor Zhenwu was careless and was hit by the claw of an ancient demon saint with a wolf head and a dragon body. Fortunately, his body was strong and the injury was not serious.
But this kind of thing, once it happens for the first time, it will soon happen for the second time, and the third time...
No matter how strong his body is, he won't be able to bear it if it happens too many times!
In comparison, although Zhao Gongming also stopped seven demon saints on his own, the situation was much more relaxed.
It's not that Zhao Gongming is much more powerful than Emperor Zhenwu, nor is it that the seven demon saints are weak, but that those demon saints are afraid of Zhao Gongming's Luobao Money, and are hesitant and unable to exert their full strength.
Zhao Gongming himself knew that the Luobao Gold Money must not be used too much. If his luck was consumed too much, he would surely die even if he was a Daluo Jinxian!
He did not dare to be too rampant and force those demon saints too hard. He just tried his best to stop them and keep them in a stalemate.
On the other hand, Wang Lingguan, wearing a golden armor and a red robe, with three angry eyes, holding a wind-fire wheel in his left hand and a golden whip in his right hand, was fighting with an ancient demon saint with an ox's head and a tiger's body.
As they got closer, Li Anran also realized that this Wang Lingguan was practicing the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong and the Thirty-Six Transformations of Tian Gang.
During the battle with the Demon Master's Mansion, he became more and more courageous, and his cultivation was rapidly approaching that of a Daluo Golden Immortal.
The Golden Spirit Mother was fighting with the two ancient demon saints who killed Master Yu Yuan and Yu Hua, and she was assisted by Wen Zhong and the Fire Spirit Mother.
In terms of their own strength alone, the three Golden Spirit Mothers are no match for the two ancient demon saints.
But, they can’t resist the fact that each of them has two innate spiritual treasures!
The Golden Spirit Mother has a Four-Elephant Pagoda on her head and a seven-colored robe on her body. She holds a dragon and tiger in her left hand and a flying golden sword in her right hand.
The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit wears a golden crown, which emits a dazzling light that is hidden from the public. She holds the Hunyuan Hammer in her right hand and launches a sneak attack.
Wen Zhong urged the male and female whips to cooperate from the side, and the divine eyes on his forehead would shoot out a white light from time to time, making it impossible to defend against.
The three of them are the only ones on the Heavenly Court side who have the upper hand and have a chance to defeat or even kill their opponents.
Zhen Yuanzi was very considerate and took the initiative to say, "In today's battle, the Justice God is the commander-in-chief. If you have any questions, just tell me and fellow Taoist Hongyun."
Patriarch Hongyun already owed a favor to the Chan sect, and with the face of Zhen Yuanzi, he nodded and agreed to this matter.
"Okay, then Yang Jian has overstepped his authority."
Yang Jian didn't hesitate and gave the order directly: "Great Immortal Zhenyuan, I'll leave the matter to you. You don't need to fight with them, just focus on protecting your own safety."
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, Brother Li Anran, the three of us will go help Master Zhao deal with those evildoers. The rest of you, don't worry. Once we succeed, you can lead your troops out to kill the enemy."
The battlefield in front of us seems lively, but what really determines the outcome is the showdown between the top forces of both sides!
It is better to cut off one finger than to injure ten fingers!
The Zhenwu Emperor has a large number of people on his side. Even if they go forward, they can only stabilize the situation at most. It .
Therefore, he sent Zhen Yuanzi, who had always been non-confrontational and did not have many killing methods, not to seek victory, but only to save the Great Emperor Zhenwu.
It would be great if we could hold back those demon saints for a while!
The number of Demon Saints on the side of Golden Spirit Holy Mother and Wang Lingguan is too small. Even if they kill them, they cannot hurt the Demon Master's bones!
Only on Zhao Gongming's side, there are six demon saints, no more, no less!
Killing them will definitely make the Demon Master's Mansion suffer for a while!
Ancestor Hongyun frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "It's enough for the two of us to go, why would we let him go!"
Li Anran: “…”
Yang Jian smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Hongyun, Brother Li Anran and I are ranked among the three great war gods in heaven, and it is not a false reputation!"
Patriarch Hongyun was stunned for a moment, but soon understood the meaning of Yang Jian's words. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Li Anran in disbelief.
Li Anran nodded slightly awkwardly, indicating that Yang Jian was right.
At this point, cultivation is no longer his trump card.
With the Zhuxian Formation in hand and the support of the Chan Sect, he can already roam the three realms without having to worry about anyone.
Moreover, they were about to fight with the Demon Master's Mansion, so even if he wanted to hide his cultivation level, he couldn't!
Li Anran simply displayed his cultivation level directly.
Buzz!
I saw a divine light surging, three flowers gathered above Li Anran's head, and five qi converged in his dantian!
"Three flowers gather at the top of the head, five qi converge into one! You actually broke through to the Golden Immortal?!" Ancestor Hongyun cried out.
Even though Li Anran had just admitted the incident, when he saw it with his own eyes, Patriarch Hongyun still paused in his breathing and felt a little dizzy.
How many years has it been?
The young man who had barely broken through to the Xuanxian realm with his help has now broken through to the Daluo Jinxian realm and can be called a fellow Taoist!
Not only him, all the gods present widened their eyes, with expressions like mortals seeing a ghost.
"This, how is this possible..." Li Jing muttered to himself, feeling a little distraught.
From the time when he achieved sanctification in the flesh during the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods to the present day, he has been in good hands with Lingshan, Heaven, and Xuanmen, and has gained countless benefits. He has just about broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.
As a result, now, not only his rebellious son has achieved the status of Daluo Jinxian, but Li Anran, a junior who has been practicing for less than a thousand years, has also broken through to the Daluo realm!
"What benefits did Taiyi Tianzun give them? That allowed them to break through to the Daluo Jinxian level in such a short time?" Li Jing was extremely jealous.
The other gods had the same idea.
First, Nezha attained the state of Daluo, and then, Li Anran also attained the state of Daluo!
This is definitely not because they are great, but because of their common master, Taiyi Tianzun!
And it is very likely related to their recent retreat in the Jinguan Cave on Qianyuan Mountain!
For a moment, all the immortals became restless, and they all had the idea of joining the Xuanmen sect and finding ways to become disciples of Taiyi Tianzun!
They didn’t know that Taiyi Tianzun in Dongji Miaoyan Palace was also shocked.
"Li Anran actually broke through to the Golden Immortal Realm? When did this happen?"
Nezha was able to break through because by chance he merged the evil thoughts of Master Tongtian with another Precious Lotus Lantern, completely integrating his essence, energy and spirit into one, breaking the shackles of the lotus body. He also gained experience between life and death and broke free from his inner demons.
But what about Li Anran?
He has been practicing the Zhuxian Formation for these years and has had no time to cultivate. How did he break through to the Daluo Jinxian?
This doesn't make sense!
Could it be... because of the Zhu Xian Formation?
Taiyi Tianzun stroked his long beard gently, and for a long time he couldn't figure out what was going on.
However, this is a great happy event for him and Xuanmen!
In the past, although Li Anran had cultivated the Zhuxian Formation, his cultivation was too weak and he was unable to control the Four Swords of Zhuxian. From time to time, the formation would riot and the Four Swords of Zhuxian would get out of control.
Now that Li Anran has broken through to the Golden Immortal realm, his control over the Zhuxian Formation will inevitably be greatly enhanced.
Even if the Jiejiao succeeds in refining the Chaos Bell, they, the Chenjiao, will not be afraid at all!
Moreover, he and Nezha broke through to the Golden Immortal level in succession, which was a great boost to the Xuanmen sect, sweeping away the depression caused by the suppression of Buddhism over the years!
In the Three Realms, no one will think that Xuanmen is inferior to Lingshan anymore!
"Second brother, Senior Hongyun, let's act quickly before Kunpeng arrives. Otherwise, we'll have more troubles." Li Anran urged.
He dared to display his strength so unscrupulously because Beitianmen was covered by a formation and he was not afraid that the demon saints in the Demon Master's Mansion outside would notice it.
"Okay." After all, the Red Cloud Patriarch had experienced a lot, so he quickly calmed down and said, "I will deal with the cat demon wearing the soaring crown, the bird demon wearing red armor, and the black bear. You deal with the other three."
Ancestor Hongyun was afraid that Li Anran and Yang Jian would not recognize these ancient demon saints, so he directly used their characteristics instead of their names.
The three strongest ones were picked out.
Yang Jian didn't say much.
How come Patriarch Hongyun is one of the three thousand guests in Zixiao Palace? And in the ancient demon court, only Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi and Kunpeng are qualified to go to Zixiao Palace.
He was determined to seek revenge on Kunpeng and the ancestor of the Minghe River. It would be a huge joke if he couldn't even deal with the two demon saints under Kunpeng!
"I will deal with the dragon and the fish monster." Yang Jian also chose two.
"Leave the rest to me!" said Li Anran.
The three of them divided their targets and used different methods to get closer to Zhao Gongming.
Ancestor Hongyun used Liuwa's invisibility technique, which was silent and without any trace.
Li Anran stared at it for several times, but could only vaguely perceive a very faint trace.
This was because he already knew in advance that Old Ancestor Hongyun had gone invisible!
If it were on a chaotic battlefield, he really wouldn't be sure to find it!
Li Anran and Yang Jian chose the art of transformation that they were best at.
One turned into a heavenly soldier, and the other turned into a monster.
The two men moved closer while fighting.
Ancestor Hongyun was faster than the other two. He did not rush to attack, but waited for the two to approach.
At this moment, a huge eagle cry was suddenly heard in the distance, and the shadow of a golden-winged roc appeared in the void, preparing to flap its wings and fly high.
not good!
Demon Master Kunpeng is coming!
Li Anran and Yang Jian looked at each other and swung their weapons in perfect harmony.
when!
The weapons collided, and the two men used the recoil force to quickly approach their respective targets.
The attention of those demon saints was all on Zhao Gongming, and they didn't notice them approaching at all.
By the time you realize something is wrong, it's already too late!
puff!
The third eye on Yang Jian’s forehead suddenly opened, and a ray of divine light burst out, directly piercing through the back of the head of the Dragon Demon Saint and shattering his soul.
At the same time, the weapon in his hand turned into its original form of a three-pointed, double-edged sword and slashed towards the fish monster next to him.
The fish demon was frightened and hurriedly sacrificed the gem in his hand.
Bang!
Yang Jian's body was shattered in an instant, but not a drop of blood was spilled!
A cloud of white smoke dissipated.
Only a strand of hair slowly fell in mid-air.
Phew!
Before the fish demon could turn around, he felt a sharp pain. He lowered his head and saw that the blade of the three-pointed, double-edged sword had pierced his chest and crushed his soul!
Li Anran's opponent is the weakest among the six demon saints.
It’s easier to deal with!
whoosh!
The Vajra File turned into a golden light and flew out, directly shattering half of the demon saint's body and soul.
Ancestor Hongyun took out a purple gourd, blew out a gust of wind carrying red sand, and directly took the three demon saints into it.
This is Qiwawa’s magic gourd!
It is also the Nine-Nine Soul-Dispersing Gourd of Ancestor Hongyun!
