Chapter 426: Chapter 415 Connecting Mountains in Qinghe, Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains

Xuanwu used a sword.

But "Bodhisattva" had never expected her to actually draw out an Azure Dragon Sword.

The lotus platform she occupied was also vital, but it was meant to support life; the Azure Dragon Sword was for battling enemies...

If anything in the Four Symbols was the greatest restraint to her current form, the Azure Dragon came second, and the first was actually the Vermilion Bird.

One signifies life, the other death.

However, the current Vermilion Bird had not yet achieved the meaning of the master of death contained in the star chart; she was still contending with the understanding of fire known to the masses, otherwise, Maitreya over there would have been annihilated in an instant.

Nevertheless, what Xuanwu drew out was the true Personal Divine Sword of the Ancient Azure Dragon! That vigorous vitality, with just a slight contact, nearly crushed her, almost leaving her unable to muster any strength.

Fortunately, the vitality of the lotus platform countered much of it, otherwise, she would have lost without even having to fight.

"Bang!" The demonic hand slapped the sword, "Bodhisattva" screamed, and San Niang also let out a muffled groan, staggered, and fell back.

Everything has two sides; the Bodhisattva’s current state was severely restrained by everyone, but the problem with her previously fragile Empress Ming’s body was gone. That slap possessed an incredible force, the true power of a Corpse Demon.

This was the purpose of entering this state in the first place, had it not been for the restraint, it would have been very difficult to fight.

"Buzz!" The sound of a mental blast exploded nearly simultaneously in everyone’s minds, everyone let out a muffled groan. Others were somewhat better off, while the weaker Zhao Changhe, including Fa Chi, all oozed blood from their seven apertures.

Zhao Changhe had come to stop these "protectors," but the other weak "protectors" didn’t even need to wait for Zhao Changhe to intercept; they were all shaken until their souls scattered, leaving behind only dry corpses controlled by Gu insects.

The next moment, money flew across the sky, Ying Wu struck out with a move that annihilated all in an instant: "Leave this place."

No need for his command, both Zhao Changhe and Fa Chi were somewhat speechlessly tacitly fighting and retreating outside the Secret Realm.

Fighting your mother, this isn’t a place for the Human List to stay.

Before leaving, he turned his head to look, and the battle had already shifted templates.

Ying Wu no longer approached the Corpse Demon, but instead threw money vehemently; the sky filled with flying coins, everywhere dazzling with golden light, reminding Zhao Changhe of Qiankun’s throw, not knowing what the actual experience of facing this move was like for the Corpse Demon.

San Niang closed her eyes to sustain herself; the Ancient Sword Dragon Emperor flew over on its own, wildly slashing at the Corpse Demon.

A monk and a Taoist formed a formation and chanted sutras continuously, weakening the Corpse Demon’s Qi.

There was even a Golden Bell Shield, defending everyone from the Corpse Demon’s area attacks.

The Corpse Demon screamed infuriatingly, "How can you claim to be first-rate in the current world, so shameless! Have the guts to fight me head-on!"

The group remained silent. How did one become first-rate in the current world? By surviving to be first-rate.

Corpse Demon was impervious to blades and guns, and infuriatingly, it didn’t feel pain when struck, but we are living people, not dead corpses; we lose a significant amount of combat strength even with a slight injury, who would confront you head-on?

Cui Wenjing and Yang Jingxiu exchanged glances, both sighed. Their own Sword Spirits were inadequate, after all, their limelight was actually taken over by a woman from the Demon Sect and a member of a guild... You think you’re the only ones with treasures?

But it didn’t matter, at the very least, their Sword Spirits had recovered a bit; even if ineffective alone, by cooperating, they could at least manage to contribute something.

Qinghe Sword and Lianshan Sword flew up together, the target―the lotus platform.

Why was the Corpse Demon always squatting in the Secret Realm? Because it was only an Ancient Soul without a body, and its strength hadn’t reached the undying level of certain other existences. Once it lost the support of the lotus platform, the Ancient Soul might self-destruct.

Even the Ancient Four Symbols which were clearly more powerful than this Corpse Demon had perished in the end; what right had he to live?

So one only needed to cut off the link between the Corpse Demon and the lotus platform, which was the actual key to this battle, otherwise, the Corpse Demon would be immortal, and all attacks would be in vain.

The two swords combined, purple aura and yellow light intertwined and surged towards the lotus platform.

The Corpse Demon did not intercept, and with a loud "clang," the two swords stabbed onto the lotus platform, not harming it in the slightest.

The Corpse Demon laughed loudly: "Foolish! How could you understand the wonders of ancient times?"

The laughter abruptly choked in its throat, the Corpse Demon hurriedly deflected the Ancient Sword Dragon Emperor, dodged Qiankun’s throw, and looked down in horror at the lotus platform.

What happened?

He felt the life force being transmitted to himself was truly being interrupted... But the lotus platform is unharmed?

What’s going on here?

They’re not targeting the lotus platform itself!

The Qinghe Sword, vast rivers. The Lianshan Sword, the mountain ranges of the world.

What do they make when combined?

The Human World’s rivers and mountains!

They symbolize the Qi veins of the human world! Hence, the family’s roots in the human world have been passed down, enduring for thousands of years without interruption.

They’re shaking the transfer of the Earth veins, severing the connection between the lotus platform and the Corpse Demon!

If this continues, there’s no need for them to attack, the Corpse Demon might gradually fade away, at least this body of the Corpse Demon cannot sustain itself. The Maitreya body he had reserved for himself had been redirected, and to this day, it hasn’t been of any use...

The Corpse Demon felt a stomach full of anger with nowhere to vent. These people’s cultivation might be high, and one artifact in their hands might be sharper than the next, and all could be used against itself.

Even if you bring the likes of Golden Horde Khan Tie Muer or Divine Brilliance Sect’s Li Shentong, stronger than the current group, the Corpse Demon wouldn’t feel so tormented. Those after all would be a straightforward, fierce confrontation. How could it have encountered this bunch of odd and bizarre things? It’s really like running into a ghost!

Amidst the chaos, the Corpse Demon’s Divine Thought reached outward, feeling a stirring within.

Maitreya was struggling towards them on the Flame Road and had already reached the foot of Mount Huiji.

If it’s too far, my residual soul might be cut off if it leaves this body, possibly intercepted by this bunch subduing and vanquishing demons. But a bit closer, and they definitely won’t have enough time.

As long as I successfully enter Maitreya’s body, this group’s absolute strength cannot beat me...

Just one step away.

...

Zhao Changhe and Fa Chi emerged from the Secret Realm and at a glance, saw Maitreya struggling forward amidst a sea of flames and the dual layers of Sword Qi.

In fact, Fa Chi was in better mental shape than Maitreya; he wasn’t damaged by the Vermilion Bird Burn, and the integration of the Gu Insect with his spirit was still fairly perfect; he didn’t even know he was being eroded by the Gu and his thinking was no different from normal.

Zhao Changhe finally spoke up, "Seeing this kind of thing, and the so-called ’Bodhisattva’ inside turned into a monster, do you still think that is Buddha’s Bodhisattva, still believe?"

Fa Chi said, "Only the mortal fools are deluded by appearances. The Bodhisattva is eternal and immortal, what is it if not divine?"

Zhao Changhe: "Screw your mother."

Trying to reason with these idiots was really my mistake.

His heart was also anxious; although he now didn’t know the situation of the battle within the Secret Realm, he could still deduce that the body Maitreya was reaching for was prepared for him by the "Bodhisattva," and it wasn’t likely to rely on that body of Empress Ming.

The cultivation level of Maitreya wasn’t something ordinary people could compare with. Once the Ancient Residual Soul combined with the Maitreya body, not to mention whether the third phase of the boss was beatable, even if it was beaten, it was very likely to result in death.

Must prevent!

Couldn’t meddle in that kind of battle any longer, maybe there’s still chance on Maitreya’s end... Considering Maitreya’s state, it’s a fight to the last straw that could break the camel’s back, for both sides.

Where is the straw?

Fa Chi and himself.

The victory or defeat between the two from the Human List might affect the outcome of Maitreya’s battle; whether Maitreya reaches the Secret Realm might affect the outcome of the Corpse Demon’s battle.

But Fa Chi was beyond persuasion; there was no choice but to fight.

He wasn’t just watching the fight; he had been battling with Fa Chi this whole time, and they had been at it for quite a while. It was really not easy.

Fa Chi was number thirty-eight on the Human List; it was hard to fight even in a fair battle, and he was also "blessed", giving him greater strength and stronger defense. Despite fighting for so long, Zhao Changhe hadn’t gained the upper hand.

But at this moment, he needed to not only win, but win quickly! Couldn’t give Maitreya the chance to get closer!

Zhao Changhe’s eyes turned as red as blood.

Without me in heaven and earth!
