Just a Useful Pawn in the Stain Sect

Chapter 592: Chapter 592: The Naturally Evil Immortal Core Demon

Lü Yang took a step out of the Array, his gaze sweeping imperiously over all the Perfected Lords.

The Array had shattered. The Buddha Country was extinguished. The Venerable Victory Treasure Pestle Bodhisattva was completely stunned. ’What the fuck was that? He was already trapped deep within a Killing Array, yet he still managed to break out?’

This wasn’t some trash Array!

It was the prototype of an Earthly Buddha Country, reinforced by four Perfected Lords, one of whom was comparable to the Middle Stage of Golden Core! And yet, a newly promoted Perfected Lord had managed to slaughter his way out of it?

”Stop him!”

The Venerable Victory Treasure Pestle Bodhisattva’s expression finally changed. Seeing Lü Yang already summoning his Flying Light to escape, he roared and was the first to give chase.

Almost simultaneously, the Lesser Yin Immortal Monarch and the Dao Yan Immortal Monarch also made their move.

At first, the two had harbored ulterior motives. After all, they came from the Celestial Mansion and had wanted to see if they could dispose of the two Pure Land Bodhisattvas as well.

Now, however, the situation had gone awry.

If they held back any longer, they might truly let a big fish like Lü Yang escape. Thus, the two acted decisively. Their Seal Techniques shifted, and they spat out in a Thunder Sound:

”Kanyang Jiao Li Immortal Technique!”

In an instant, a brilliant, splendid light surged forth. The yang within Kan rose to the position of Li, transforming into fire. The yin within Li descended to the position of Kan, transforming into water. Fire and water merged into one.

This imagery of water and fire was like two great hands clapping together from above and below, instantly trapping Lü Yang within. The Sun Cold Water and the Lesser Yin Monarch Fire appeared at the same time. The first froze all phenomena, diminishing Lü Yang’s Divine Effects, while the second incinerated his Dharma Body, threatening his very life and leaving him no room to maneuver.

”Well done!”

The Venerable Victory Treasure Pestle Bodhisattva was overjoyed at the sight, but he also felt a faint palpitation in his heart. After all, if he were the one facing this move, death would be certain.

’Looking across my Pure Land, I’m afraid only an Enchanted Loctus could withstand this....’

Meanwhile, the Lesser Yin Immortal Monarch, certain that Lü Yang was in the bag, smiled arrogantly. ”Immortal Core Demon Dao, today you will be brought to justice right here!”

Before his voice had even faded, Lü Yang looked up in response.

The next second, the light of water and fire completely swallowed his figure, dissolving his entire body. In an instant, he vanished without a trace, not even his Soul remaining.

”Hm...?”

Seeing this, the Lesser Yin Immortal Monarch froze. The Sect’s records stated that Immortal Core Demons had refined a Gold Attribute, making their Souls indestructible and immortal. They should have been incredibly difficult to destroy. Even under the Kanyang Jiao Li Immortal Technique, he should have lasted for a moment. How could he have been instantly reduced to ashes?

”...This is bad!”

In a flash, the Lesser Yin Immortal Monarch realized what was happening, but it was too late. Within the Outer Heaven Sea of Light, a streak of golden Illusionary Colors suddenly emerged from the void.

Lü Yang’s figure shot out like a bolt of lightning.

SPLAT!

With a soft sound, a bloody light stained a vast expanse of the Sea of Light. The Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva exploded into a mist of blood on the spot, a trace of fear appearing in his eyes.

Almost at the same time, the Venerable Victory Treasure Pestle Bodhisattva arrived to provide aid.

The next second, however, a Banner billowing in the wind, wreathed in black qi, planted itself upon the Sea of Light. From it, three towering figures of light emerged.

Progenitor Tingyou! Summon! Empress Xiao!

As Banner Spirits of the Myriad-Soul Banner, as long as Lü Yang, the Banner Master, willed it, they could be summoned to his side in an instant, even across millions of miles!

RUMBLE!

At that moment, Progenitor Tingyou and the other two spirits attacked with their full power, brazenly blocking the aid from the Venerable Victory Treasure Pestle Bodhisattva and the others, buying Lü Yang precious time.

His large hand was already clamped onto Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva’s head.

Deprive!

A Fifth Grade Perfected Lord with an Outer Dao Fruit Position was completely unable to stop Lü Yang’s Deprive. His Outer Dao Magical Power, Dharma Body, and even his Fruit Position were all stripped away in an instant!

Then, fusion!

BANG!

The next second, Lü Yang released his grip. The Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva’s body disintegrated, then exploded with a deafening roar. His Soul shone brightly within the Celestial Fire before finally turning to ash.

In that instant, all was deathly silent!

The Venerable Victory Treasure Pestle Bodhisattva’s jaw dropped. He had never imagined that the first thing Lü Yang would do after escaping was not to flee, but to launch a counter-kill!

At this thought, the Venerable Victory Treasure Pestle Bodhisattva felt that things were going wrong. This plot to kill Lü Yang relied on a narrow window of opportunity, but it also meant antagonizing the Stain Sect. Their time was extremely limited. Once World Purger Fei Xue reacted, not only would their siege fail, but every participant would die!

’The situation is not good!’

’Mahasthamaprapta is dead, the Array is broken, and this fiend has somehow summoned helpers. The encirclement has been shattered. If this continues, I’ll be the one who gets bogged down...’

’I absolutely cannot let this drag on! Time is life. The longer this takes, the more likely World Purger Fei Xue is to arrive, and the greater my chances of dying become. I have to end this battle as quickly as possible.’

WHOOSH...!

The Venerable Victory Treasure Pestle Bodhisattva took a deep breath, then immediately looked at the Lesser Yin Immortal Monarch and said, ”Benefactor Shao Yin, I have one more technique that might secure our victory.”

”Oh...?”

At these words, the Lesser Yin Immortal Monarch’s eyes lit up. He had, of course, thought of the same crisis the Venerable Victory Treasure Pestle Bodhisattva had. But he was truly unwilling to give up such a golden opportunity. Now that the Bodhisattva claimed to have a solution, he was naturally tempted.

”I must ask you two Benefactors to buy me some time.”

The Venerable Victory Treasure Pestle Bodhisattva took out a translucent, Glazed Treasure Lotus from beneath his kasaya. ”Once I activate this treasure, I guarantee that Demon will die on the spot!”

”Excellent, excellent...”

The Lesser Yin Immortal Monarch was overjoyed to hear this, laughing inwardly: ’No wonder the Sect’s records all say these cultivators are of the Demon Dao. Their infighting is so vicious.’

’How can such a Demon Dao be allowed to control the Immortal Pivot? The Great Dao is truly blind... Fortunately, the Immortal Pivot is about to reappear, giving us a chance to set things right.’

’A treasured land of the Great Dao should rightfully be helmed by my Celestial Mansion’s Righteous Dao!’

Despite his internal mockery, the Lesser Yin Immortal Monarch put on a sincere expression. ”Then we will trouble you, Master. We shall act as your Protectors.”

Seeing this, the Venerable Victory Treasure Pestle Bodhisattva said gratefully, ”Many thanks!”

”It’s no trouble at all...” the Lesser Yin Immortal Monarch said with a kindly smile.

’If this Demon really does exhaust his Primordial Qi to kill that other Demon, then there’s no reason I can’t play the fisherman who profits while the snipe and the clam grapple...’

He was filled with killing intent!

’In any case, they were both Immortal Core Demons. Killing one is killing, and killing two is also killing. There’s no difference. This is about exorcising demons and protecting the Dao; there’s no need for immortal virtue or righteousness.’

In a flash of lightning, Lü Yang gave a command:

”Attack together!”

As his voice fell, Progenitor Tingyou and the other two spirits followed closely behind him. They simultaneously formed Daoist Hand Seals, and four great projections turned the tables, surrounding the Lesser Yin Immortal Monarch and his allies!

Lü Yang didn’t press the attack. Instead, he stalled—stalled for time, hard.

After all, he understood the same principle: ’I don’t need to win a direct fight. I just need to hold these people off until World Purger Fei Xue arrives.’

’At that point, not a single one of them will escape!’

Time passed, second by second. The Lesser Yin Immortal Monarch’s expression grew increasingly grim, especially when he saw that under the blessing of Summon, Lü Yang was still recovering!

The Fruit of Spring Water had wondrous nourishing properties.

Now, as it washed over Lü Yang, it immediately quenched most of his injuries. Even his severely depleted Mana was rapidly returning to its Peak.

But just then, the Venerable Victory Treasure Pestle Bodhisattva, who had been calm and centered, suddenly opened his eyes and let out a clear laugh.

”Amitabha! Great Mighty Celestial Dragon!”

Seeing this, the Lesser Yin Immortal Monarch’s spirits lifted.

’Is he finally making his move?’

The next second, the Venerable Victory Treasure Pestle Bodhisattva was seen holding the Glazed Treasure Lotus, which he then threw beneath his feet. He clasped his hands together and uttered an Infinite Buddha Sound:

”Good! Good!”

”The Sea of Suffering is boundless, but my Buddha is merciful! Across the Jambudvipa Great Thousand World, past ten trillion Saha Pure Lands, through the thirty-three heavens, I move through the six paths of reincarnation, free and unobstructed!”

Amidst the rumbling sound of Buddha’s voice, the Venerable Victory Treasure Pestle Bodhisattva’s figure rode the Buddha Light, lotuses blooming with his every step, and vanished from everyone’s sight in an instant.

All that remained was an ethereal echo:

”Good...”

”Good...”

Lesser Yin Immortal Monarch: ”???”

’You told me you were using an ultimate move, you even made me buy you time, and now that I got you the time and you used the move, you’re telling me you just ran away?’

’You innately evil Immortal Core Demon!’

’You beast!!!’
