Just a Useful Pawn in the Stain Sect

Chapter 952: Chapter 947: Who Dares to Fight Me?

The state of the battle underwent Thousand Transformations.

The Star Palace faction activated the [Victorious Technique Decreeing Fate Dao Chapter]. World Purger Fei Xue established the [World-Purifying Radiant Dao Fruit]. The Mighty Power at the level of Great Perfected Lords surged endlessly within the Sea of Light.

Hao Yuan Shangzhen and his side naturally wanted to erase World Purger Fei Xue’s influence. However, although World Purger Fei Xue was just one person, he forcefully pinned the Dao Fruit above the Celestial Mansion. The Profound Mysterious interacted, cascading down endless rays of light. Like a river or a waterfall, it encircled the Celestial Mansion end to end, perfectly manifesting the phenomenon of the [Fruit of Gully-Rill Water].

”We can’t break through.”

Seeing this, Hao Yuan Shangzhen frowned deeply. ”In that case, we can only send people out. Otherwise, a stalemate is not a solution. Our lifespans are ultimately limited...”

Indeed, Lü Yang had granted them tens of thousands of years of lifespan.

However, without the Dao of Arcane Body reappearing, this lifespan drained away extremely quickly. Thus, the time they could remain in the Current World in their peak condition was also limited.

At the same time, it was precisely to eradicate this hidden trouble that they targeted the Celestial Mansion. Only by conquering the Celestial Mansion and re-establishing the Dao of Arcane Body could they truly return to their Peak. Therefore, in this battle, the Star Palace faction was actually the more anxious side. They had to fight a quick battle to force a swift decision; otherwise, it would be equivalent to defeat.

Thinking of this, Hao Yuan Shangzhen immediately spoke:

”Let the Star Monarchs deploy. See if they can wear down these Perfected Lords of the Immortal Pivot.”

As his voice fell, the massive camp of the Star Palace immediately sprang into action. A large number of Daoist Soldier Fleets roared out, and the Star Monarchs of various families boldly pressed toward the Celestial Mansion.

Almost simultaneously, Taiyin Immortal Venerable also waved his large hand:

”Attack!”

In the next second, streaks of Splendid Light similarly rose from within the Celestial Mansion. Impressively, they were the Immortal Monarchs of the Celestial Mansion, whose levels were roughly on par with the Star Monarchs of the Star Palace.

”RUMBLE!”

For a time, countless rays of light collided and surged, like rushing rivers crashing into one another before exploding outward. The impact stirred up a storm-like brilliance that swept across the Sea of Light in all directions. It was like splashing ink on a blank canvas—whoever possessed the superior colors would seize the ultimate advantage.

However, right at this moment, out of the twelve streaks of Divine Light within the Celestial Mansion, one suddenly separated. It crashed straight into the Void Sea of Light, plunging into the boiling colors.

This Divine Light appeared profoundly dark on the outside.

Wherever it passed, the Star Monarchs of the Star Palace had no power to resist. A few outstanding individuals merely held on a little longer before retreating in defeat.

Then, the Divine Light dispersed, revealing the beautiful silhouette of a woman with peerless looks and skin as delicate as pearls and jade. Her expression was as gentle as water, evoking an uncontrollable sense of pity, yet her movements lacked the slightest hesitation. With a twist of her slender waist, she transformed into an overwhelming wave of demonic qi that swept outward.

Impressively, it was Bright Pearl Great Saint.

”Strike!”

Her silvery, bell-like voice echoed. Demonic qi swayed, and the Profound Gate filled the realm, instantly melting away the remaining light and colors, turning Heaven and Earth into an ink wash painting.

Seeing this scene, Hao Yuan Shangzhen immediately looked toward Lü Yang:

”Daoist, it should be your turn to...”

Before his words could finish, a streak of brilliance had already leapt out one step ahead, blocking the monstrous demonic qi and stopping the Profound Light from spreading further.

Immediately after, the brilliance condensed into a form. A middle-aged man with a square face and wearing ancient attire stepped out, his face filled with undisguised disgust:

”A beast donning fur and horns dares to participate in this battle?”

With that, the middle-aged man pointed a finger. A glazed Treasure Pearl flew out from his sleeve, expanding instantly in the wind until it grew to the size of a star and came crashing down:

”[Sinking Star Bead]!”

This Treasure Pearl flickered with dazzling light. Without deviating an inch, it smashed directly onto Bright Pearl Great Saint’s head, instantly causing a dazed look to surface in her beautiful eyes.

”THUD!”

In an instant, accompanied by a muffled sound, Bright Pearl Great Saint’s delicate body plummeted. The demonic qi and Profound Light enveloping her body were almost entirely scattered by this single strike!

Seeing this scene, Hao Yuan Shangzhen frowned slightly.

”Shen Shao... is too impulsive.”

The person who attacked was named [Shen Shao]. Although his Position among the numerous True Monarchs of Magical Power was inferior to [Zhen Gao], he was still considered among the better ones.

The [Sinking Star Bead] was even more extraordinary. It was not an Array Treasure Dao Soldier, but a treasure that Shen Shao had refined using all his Mana and lifeblood. It appeared to be just a Treasure Pearl, but it actually contained a lifetime of his Mana. When facing an enemy, a single smash possessed the Mighty Power to shatter both the person and their magic. It was absolutely not something that could be countered by ordinary means.

”Hao Yuan, you don’t need to worry.”

Seeing this, the other Great Perfected Lords chuckled softly. ”We have to let our people make a move eventually. Anyway, since the Netherworld isn’t here now, why should we be so cautious?

”Besides, it’s not like you don’t know Shen Shao’s temperament.

”Back then, he was the most radical humanitarian Cultivator. He ordinarily harbors the deepest disgust for those of non-human origins. Now that he sees the Demon Race from the Immortal Pivot, how could he just sit idly by?”

Meanwhile, above the Sea of Light.

Shen Shao maintained his Daoist Hand Seal, firmly pressing the [Sinking Star Bead] onto Bright Pearl Great Saint’s head. He sneered, ”Little Demon, aren’t you going to quickly show your true form?”

”Demon Race?”

Bright Pearl Great Saint struggled to lift her head, her beautiful face slightly contorted. ”You Outer Heaven Wanderer... you can’t even enter the Immortal Pivot Sect, yet you dare mock my race?”

Originally, no matter what Bright Pearl Great Saint said, Shen Shao told himself he wouldn’t care and would just treat it as the barking of a wild dog. However, Bright Pearl Great Saint’s words were too vicious. As soon as the words ”Outer Heaven Wanderer” came out, his face instantly flushed red. His gaze turned chilling, and he wished he could skin Bright Pearl Great Saint alive right then and there.

”Shameless!

”When my Dao of Arcane Power founded our sect in the Immortal Pivot, you Loose Cultivators of the Demon Race were still begging to be menial servants! Now you actually dare to falsely accuse us of being Loose Cultivators...”

Before Shen Shao could finish speaking, he saw Bright Pearl Great Saint act as if she had received some kind of instruction. Her red lips suddenly curled up, revealing a mocking smile.

In the next second, Splendid Light burst forth from her entire body.

”RUMBLE!!!”

Boiling rays of light roared outward, instantly breaking through the suppression of the [Sinking Star Bead]. Rolling like mountains and surging like waves, it violently crashed into Shen Shao!

She had brazenly self-destructed!

”Not good!”

Almost simultaneously, the group of True Monarchs of Magical Power, who were previously brimming with confidence, drastically changed their expressions. Bright Pearl Great Saint’s fierce self-destruction made them recall past events.

Soon, memories and reality overlapped.

The self-destructed Bright Pearl Great Saint did not die from this. After just a short breath, before the aftermath of the explosion had even dissipated, Bright Pearl Great Saint’s figure surfaced once again.

As soon as this Great Saint of the Demon Race appeared, her gaze fell upon Shen Shao, who had been left in a rather sorry state by her previous self-destruction. Her red lips curled up. She then maintained a Daoist Hand Seal, and the starlight transformed from the [Fruit of Sea-Deep Metal] above her head grew increasingly bright. A Profound Mysterious immediately bolstered her body.

”[Pearl Concealment Abyss]!”

As for the Fruit of Sea-Deep Metal, its treasures lay in the Dragon Palace, acting as a Pearl-Bearing Jiao Treasure, and forming a tool required the assistance of fire—as the name implied, this was also an auxiliary Profound Mysterious used for nurturing and accumulation.

However, unlike the [Gradual Formation], although the [Fruit of Sea-Deep Metal] similarly possessed the virtue of nurturing, it favored vigorous fire. Therefore, the things nurtured by the [Pearl Concealment Abyss] complemented the Fire Element Profound Mysterious perfectly.

However, having commanded this Fruit Position for many years, Bright Pearl Great Saint had long figured out a method unique to her—the [Fruit of Sea-Deep Metal] favored fire, and when a Perfected Lord self-destructed, using their Dharma Body as firewood and igniting it with their Mana, wasn’t that the most vigorous fire in the world? It just so happened to perfectly synergize with the [Pearl Concealment Abyss]!

In other words, this Profound Mysterious could drastically increase the might of self-destruction!

In an instant, the self-destructive power infused with the Fruit Position Profound Mysterious surged out. The blazing flames of light reached a higher level, instantly submerging Shen Shao’s figure within them.

”Not good! Quickly, go save him!”

”The Netherworld... The power of the Netherworld is far away in the Immortal Pivot; how could it appear here!?”

”A miscalculation...”

At this moment, dozens of True Monarchs of Magical Power attacked one after another. However, the six Great Perfected Lords, including Hao Yuan Shangzhen, were blocked by World Purger Fei Xue and Taiyin Immortal Venerable.

Therefore, it was too late.

Bright Pearl Great Saint had managed to seize a rare battle opportunity; how could she not press the advantage? By the time the reinforcements from the Star Palace True Monarchs arrived, she had already self-destructed a full eighteen times in succession!

When Shen Shao was dragged out of the blazing light storm of self-destruction, half of his body had already turned charred black. If he hadn’t used the [Sinking Star Bead] to protect himself, he would likely have been reduced to ashes by now. One must know that there was no such thing as being Immortal for True Monarchs of Magical Power; if they died, they were truly dead!

At the same time, Bright Pearl Great Saint’s figure condensed once again.

Under the effects of the [Victorious Technique Decreeing Fate Dao Chapter], all of Shen Shao’s Mana had already been squeezed dry by her and inversely bolstered her body, causing her Qi trace to flourish significantly!

”Hehe, this is the consequence of looking down on my race,” her gentle laughter drifted over faintly, brimming with mockery. ”So what if I’m from the Demon Race? The Demon Race here are still Immortal Pivot Demons! We’re still far stronger than you Outer Heaven people!”

At this moment, Hao Yuan Shangzhen no longer hesitated:

”The opponent used some unknown method to draw in the power of the Netherworld. They are Immortal and completely fearless of casualties. Facing them head-on puts us at too much of a disadvantage.”

After saying that, he looked toward Lü Yang:

”Daoist, please make your move.”

Sure enough, it still required Immortal Core People to defeat Immortal Core People.

Hearing these words, Lü Yang, who had been building up his momentum for a long time, finally stood up. He nodded slightly without saying much, directly walked out of the Star Palace camp, and paced toward the Celestial Mansion.

”RUMBLE!”

This time, his Qi trace was not concealed in the slightest. It pierced straight through the sky, acting like an invisible mountain that instantly quelled the aftermath of Bright Pearl Great Saint’s self-destructs.

Wherever he passed, the Sea of Light scattered and parted, unexpectedly revealing an empty space.

Before he even arrived, the massive Celestial Mansion was already trembling because of him, as if it had sensed the heavy pressure transmitted from Lü Yang’s Position. Mountains and rivers shifted, and rivers and seas flowed backward.

Lü Yang thus stood firmly in the Sea of Light. He held the Tribulation Wave in his hand, and the Yellow Court hovered three inches above his head. The Righteous Banner roared behind him, and his Dharma Body blossomed with four colors. The [Fruit of Divine-Empyrean Thunder] emitted crackling, thunderous sounds. His gaze completely bypassed Bright Pearl Great Saint, who had a look of dread on her face beside him, and landed directly on the Celestial Mansion Ninth Layer.

In the next second, a grand voice rang out, heard by all living beings:

”Who dares to fight me?”
