Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 278 - 278 267 Disasters stem from the mouth

278: 267: Disasters stem from the mouth 278: 267: Disasters stem from the mouth A cloud of black mist spun and swooped down from the horizon, halting before Jiang Chen and the others, morphing into hundreds of evil spirits, each brandishing a weapon.

The leading evil spirit unexpectedly possessed the power of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, while the rest varied in strength from Taiyi Golden Immortals to Golden Immortals.

In short, not one was below the level of a Golden Immortal.

He raised his head to look at the haughty evil spirit, but Jiang Chen said nothing, instead quietly reciting the Sutra of Salvation.

Seeing this, the Great Luo evil spirit misunderstood Jiang Chen’s intent.

He assumed Jiang Chen was frightened and was seeking help from a higher power, so he said:

“Little demon, it’s too late to pray now.

The Netherworld has made a terrible blunder, and all the powers of the Three Realms have rushed to the Underworld.

No matter how much you pray, no gods or buddhas in the sky will answer you.”

His voice resonated powerfully, echoing in every corner.

Yet all that answered him was still Jiang Chen’s steady recitation of the sutra.

“Little demon, you’re seeking death.”

Jiang Chen’s disregard enraged this Great Luo evil spirit who shot out his hand, transforming it into a massive palm print, sending it directly towards Jiang Chen from afar.

As he attacked, the evil spirit remained vigilant, fearing the Innate Divine Sword might suddenly strike from some corner, delivering a fatal blow.

In terms of cultivation, the evil spirit, who had reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal Stage himself, naturally wasn’t afraid of Jiang Chen.

However, he feared Jiang Chen’s Innate Divine Sword.

After considerable research by the six great ghost gods, it was determined that the Innate Divine Sword was at least a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Its power was so formidable that anything less than the Daoist Lord would certainly perish upon contact.

Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal, struck by this sword, would be wiped out by its imperishable Innate Sword Intent, gradually losing their vitality until dead.

Their major advantage over Taiyi Golden Immortals was simply that they could hold on for a little longer.

They were doomed to die but could live slightly longer.

The Innate Divine Sword was so terrifying that the Great Luo Golden Immortal had to take precautions.

Alas, his worry was for naught.

Not even mentioning the Taichu Divine Sword, Jiang Chen hadn’t even used the Netherworld Banner or the Lamp of Salvation.

As the palm print came crashing down, Jiang Chen had a sudden whim to test the power of the Sutra of Salvation.

Therefore, as the palm print came crashing down, Jiang Chen neither dodged nor evaded, merely continuing to silently recite the Sutra of Salvation, allowing it to strike down.

As a result, Jiang Chen was not disappointed.

Before the palm print could get close to him, a powerful force of salvation surged from the void, instantly nullifying the palm print.

The power of a single individual reciting the Sutra of Salvation can be described as insignificant.

Yet at this moment, the number of living beings reciting the Sutra of Salvation was over a million.

The combined power of a million beings praying the Sutra of Salvation together produced an incredible force.

They twisted reality, transforming an illusory force into reality.

The power of all living things is the power of the Human Path, exceptionally mysterious and powerful.

Even saints couldn’t resist the power of the Human Path, let alone this Great Luo Golden Immortal.

With this realization, Jiang Chen’s recitation of the Sutra of Salvation became louder.

At the same time, the crowd also started reciting the Sutra of Salvation loudly.

Boom!

In the midst of the recitation, a powerful force suddenly surged from the void, sweeping towards the evil spirits up front.

At this moment, the evil spirit at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Stage also realized something was wrong.

“There’s something strange about this sutra!”

Even though he hadn’t heard the Sutra of Salvation before, he knew that any sutra capable of neutralizing his attack was definitely extraordinary.

Moreover, from this sutra, he could discern an intention to convert or ‘salvage’ individuals.

It seemed to shake his soul, making him unable to help but want to join in reciting the sutra.

No sooner had the Great Luo Golden Immortal had this thought than he heard recitation from those around him.

Acting subconsciously, he turned to look and saw a sight that chilled his heart.

He saw that the evil spirits at the Golden Immortal realm who had accompanied him were now like individuals under a charm, their eyes filled with confusion and their lips unconsciously trembling.

The sounds they made were the verses from the Sutra of Salvation.

The recitation he had heard had come from their mouths.

While the Great Luo Golden Immortal was hesitating, the Taiyi Golden Immortals he had brought along also got infected, becoming like the evil spirits at the Golden Immortal realm and reciting the Sutra of Salvation too.

“Hiss…”

Watching this scene, the Great Luo Golden Immortal couldn’t help trembling and a wave of terror surged in his heart.

Suddenly, he fled towards the distance without looking back.

“Demonic scriptures!”

“These aren’t the scriptures of Tao, but of Demons, capable of bewildering one’s mind.”

Stricken with fear, the Great Luo Golden Immortal began to speak mindlessly.

Bang Bang!

Above the sky, an innate divine thunderbolt about the size of a water jug suddenly struck down, hitting the forehead of the Golden Immortal and shattered his spiritual body into pieces, dissipating into strands of ghostly airwaves.

Calling the righteous scripture, the supreme Dao scripture “Sutra of Salvation” a demonic scripture, who else but him should this divine thunderbolt strike?

Some words can be lightly dismissed when spoken by mortals, but for cultivators, particularly high-ranking ones, they mustn’t be uttered.

Mortals may claim that heaven and earth are unjust, but cultivators can’t, especially not a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

The higher one’s cultivation, the more reverence they should have.

A Great Luo Golden Immortal’s words carry weight, implicating the will of the Heavenly Dao, thus they should not speak lightly.

Such is the calamity brought on by speaking without careful thought!

…

Shortly after the thunderstorm subsided, the Great Luo Golden Immortal hastened to reform his spiritual body.

The regenerated figure was evidently more ephemeral, showing signs of serious injury.

After regaining his form, the demon knew his mistake and remained silent, fleeing towards the distance at full speed.

However, at this moment, Jiang Chen ceased his chanting of the Sutra of Salvation and stood up with a stern look.

Labeling the Sutra of Salvation as a demonic scripture was equivalent to accusing his Shangqing lineage of being a demon sect, wasn’t it?

As a prestigious member of the Mystic Sect, it was disgraceful to be called a demon sect by someone, how could Jiang Chen not be angered?

It was as if you were walking on the street and someone called you a Japanese Ghost, no one would be pleased!

Blazing with anger, Jiang Chen lifted the Netherworld Banner and shouted at the fleeing Great Luo Golden Immortal, “Scoundrel, you dare to insult my sect, and you wish to leave, surrender your life!”

As he spoke, Jiang Chen waved the Netherworld Banner and instantly darkened the day and night sky.

A dark shadow, connecting heaven and earth, swept forth, catching up with the Great Luo Golden Immortal and brushed past him.

If he wasn’t injured, he may have had some resistance, but being severely injured by divine thunder, he stood no chance against the upgraded Netherworld Banner, easily brushed back.

Shush…

The rotation of the Netherworld’s divine light directly wiped out that Great Luo Golden Immortal’s spiritual body.

Meanwhile, the Lamp of Salvation drifted over, the scriptures rotating around it, transforming into specks of light that began to convert the Great Luo Golden Immortal, sending them back to heaven and earth.

“Huff!”

“You dared to defile the heritage of the saints, you truly don’t know whether to live or die.”

Sneering, Jiang Chen put away the Netherworld Banner.

Seeing how Jiang Chen managed to take a Great Luo Golden Immortal effortlessly, everyone was deeply shaken.

However, they quickly seemed to understand something and exclaimed in unison, “The ancestor’s might is invincible!”

Being able to take out a Great Luo Golden Immortal in the blink of an eye, the ancestor’s power is profoundly unfathomable.

On the other hand, Jiang Chen, suspended in mid-air, didn’t pay any attention to the crowd’s praise, and instead focussed intently on the distance.

There, eight massive streams of ghostly air ascended, closing in rapidly from the distance; the other eight Great Luo Golden Immortals had arrived.

Had this happened earlier, Jiang Chen would have deployed all his skills to face these eight fiercely charging Great Luo Golden Immortals.

The Heaven and Earth Fire Matrix beneath him, the top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, The Taichu Divine Sword, the high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Shangqing Divine Script, the postnatal merit treasure, the Netherworld Banner and the Lamp of Salvation, and other powerful magic treasures would all be used.

Only after a vicious battle, possibly paying a horrendous price, could these eight Great Luo Golden Immortals be taken down.

Moreover, there was a possibility of being counterattacked and killed.

In short, with Jiang Chen’s current strength, facing off against these eight Great Luo Golden Immortals and achieving victory was an exceedingly difficult task.

However, that was before; now, Jiang Chen had a better method to deal with them.

Neither Innate Spiritual Treasures nor Heaven and Earth Matrix were necessary.
