Chapter 247

When the devilishly handsome Sky Devil Lord's gaze collided with Shi Xuan's across the void, his pitch-black Devil Palace was being escorted by billions of Sky Devils as it rapidly flew towards the place where Shi Xuan was refining the Luck Extinguishing Catalog. If it wasn't for the fact that there was chaos everywhere, the mysteries of heaven and karma were unclear, and he didn't have the "Eyes of All Souls in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds", he would have already arrived nearby and destroyed the refinement of the half-finished Luck Extinguishing Catalog.

Their gazes collided from afar, seemingly causing the destruction of countless time and space. A pitch-black demon body filled with anger, lust, terror, and hatred suddenly rose behind the Sky Demon Lord. It had ten faces and twenty-four arms, holding a black blade, a black sword, a jewel umbrella, a vase, a fish intestine, a pearl, and a golden pestle. It was riding on a majestic black elephant, with an inch-sized light flowing around it, bringing with it the intention of causing people to fall and be unable to achieve Dao. It was the fruit of Dao of Free Incarnation.

In Buddhism, it was also known as the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, one of the twenty-four heavens incarnations. However, it was a guardian of the heavens created by Daozu, and was not born normally.

The demon body pointed its finger, and the black sword turned into a dark sword aura. With the help of the Eye of All Souls in the Heavens and Realms to observe its own karma, it directly crossed the layers of time and space, the chaos of the lost path, and slashed at Shi Xuan.

Being able to use the Eye of All Souls in the Heavens and Realms to see through the mysteries of heaven and see what all sentient beings see, the half-step Golden Immortal who was being sensed could naturally use this karma to counterattack. This was the embodiment of pros and cons, otherwise, Free Incarnation would need to be close in order to not be disturbed by the chaos of the lost path and attack directly.

The dark sword aura was indistinct against the void, but it emitted the aura of pain, lust, and other impermanence, causing the nearby Sky Demons to chant scriptures, each of them like enlightened monks,

"Everything is felt by the heart, impermanence is hard to last. Life is full of fear, life is at stake in the morning dew. Worry arises from the heart, fear arises from the heart, if one is separated from the heart, there is neither worry nor fear … "

The chanting was vast, solemn, and sacred, complementing the sword aura of impermanence. It was as if only by being hit by the sword aura and having one's Dao heart obliterated could one be free.

This was the sword aura produced by the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven by twisting the Buddhist scriptures, a sword aura that specialized in cutting the heart!

This was the sword aura created by the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven!

Shi Xuan was at the critical moment of refining the Luck Extermination Catalog. He was completely unable to move, and he guarded his Dao heart amidst the grand and sacred chanting that filled the entire void. The 'Infinite Life and Death Transcendence Auspicious Cloud' emitted a myriad of specks of light, forming a fresh and refined lotus that circulated life and death beneath him. It flickered with light that seemed to be both black and white.

Under the Life-and-Death Impermanence Lotus, an all-encompassing golden bridge lit up. Golden lotuses bloomed, and pale golden light shone in all directions.

Wherever it shone, everything calmed down, including the Heavenly Demons. Everything stopped, as if they were being suppressed.

Behind Shi Xuan, there was a sacred wheel that was half black and half white, describing the mysteries of the cycle of life and death.

As Shi Xuan sat cross-legged on the black and white lotus, he pointed at the dark sword aura. The wheel of the cycle of life and death spun rapidly, and death spun to the top. There was no soul, no intelligence, and no thoughts.

After being hit by Shi Xuan's finger, the dark sword aura suddenly dimmed, and countless sword auras were completely extinguished. Only a small part of the sword aura was left on the shining light of the Lotus of Life and Impermanence.

The complete death caused by the cycle of life and death seemed to be able to restrain the sword aura that specialized in cutting the heart. Although it was still a long way from the completion of the Gist of Trueness and Dao foundation, it managed to destroy 60% of the sword aura's power.

The black and White Light shone brightly, sometimes from life to death, and sometimes from death to life. Under the cycle of life and death, the remaining dark sword aura disintegrated and turned into light spots.

The light of the Lotus of Life and Impermanence dimmed, its petals withered, and slowly closed. The Auspicious Cloud of Life and Death flew out, but the remaining sword aura was frozen in the air before it could touch the Nirvana Bridge. It was completely suppressed by the Tai Chi diagram and dissipated, only cutting off a hundred years of Shi Xuan's cultivation.

Compared to the Devil Monarch of Malice, the Devil King of the Sixth Heaven was also a half-step Golden Immortal with a complete Dao foundation, but his attack power was much weaker. However, he was a Free Sky Demon, and his main purpose was to trigger the inner demons. He was cunning, and it was normal for him to be lacking in attack methods. Moreover, he came across layers of void, which gave Shi Xuan time to use multiple methods to defend himself. Under the layers of offset, it was inevitable that such a situation would occur.

"Humph, the Sword Aura of Impermanence and Lust was just a means to trigger you, lest you cut off the karma connection in time."

In the Demon Palace, the Free Sky Demon was unusually calm, as if he had expected it. As soon as the Sword Aura of Impermanence and Lust was unleashed, his real body of the Sky Demon Lord shone brightly. Countless dark lights flew out from the black saber, the umbrella, the vase, the fish intestines, the pearl, the golden pestle, and the other objects. They converged into a colorless divine light that seemed to contain the mysteries of the Three Thousand Great Dao and could help one achieve Dao. Seizing the opportunity of the Eyes of All Souls in the Heavens and Realms, it followed the dark sword aura and lightly hit towards Shi Xuan.

It was the Supreme Demonic Light of the Inner Demons that was sublimated from the Three Thousand Demonic Book!

The colorless divine light covered the void, and under the worship of countless Skyscraping Demons, it passed through layers of time and space and leisurely swept down. As the light changed, it described the perfect true meaning of the Dao of Yin and Yang, the Dao of Life and Death, the Dao of Tai Chi, and so on. It was irresistibly intoxicating as if the secret of the Unification of Dao was hidden in it!

For every Half-step Golden Immortal, the Inner Demon was the Unification of Dao!

The two attacks came one after another. Shi Xuan had no time to perform the Samsara of Life and Death. Without the Yin and Yang Sword of Dao Destruction, which was a flying sword with the sword art of One Sword to Destroy All Spells, he could only focus on defense. If his defense was broken, he would use his attainments to block the attack.

Inside his Primordial Spirit, the Book of Life and Death, the Taoist fetus, was emitting a faint black and white light. Soundlessly, it turned the shaking of his mind into a complete death. It seemed that Shi Shuan was not affected by the Supreme Inner Devil Divine Light at all. A black and white lotus of life and death bloomed under him in time, wrapping him and the Golden Bridge of the Nirvana Realm.

Outside of this lotus, another Lotus of Life and Death was formed, shining brightly and wrapping both of them.

Numerous black and white lotuses appeared, and layers of light enveloped Shi Xuan. It was as if Shi Xuan was covered by an endless number of petals.

The Supreme Demonic Light of the Inner Demons swept down, but the lotuses did not wither or dissipate. Instead, they withered directly, as if their spirituality had been taken away and they were lost in the Inner Demons.

Layers of lotuses withered, and layers of defense were broken. The much dimmer Supreme Demonic Light of the Inner Demons brushed the Nirvana Bridge.

The True Meaning of the Great Way of Tai Chi, which could suppress all things and everything, turned into a faint golden light of an inch, pushing the Supreme Demonic Light of the Inner Demons out. The two seemed to be frozen, and they both froze beside Shi Xuan. But in the faint golden light, countless phantoms began to appear, including the black and white Yin-Yang fish, the congenital Green Lotus of Slaughter, the black and white Karma Lotus, and so on. It seemed that they would be swept away by the Supreme Demonic Light of the Inner Demons in the next moment.

But this moment of suppression had given Shi Xuan enough time. The Samsara of Life and Death behind him rotated rapidly again.

However, at this moment, a giant black hand appeared out of nowhere, plunging the nearby Untainted Land into eternal peace and death. The gloom turned into complete darkness.

The peaceful, peaceful, and carefree giant black hand brought with it layers of black shadows of death. Taking advantage of the moment when Shi Xuan's defense was broken and he had yet to attack, it grabbed him.

While Shi Xuan was dealing with the Free Heavenly King and could not be distracted to observe the Eye of All Souls in the Myriad Worlds, Lord Daoist Ping Du had already sneaked nearby and found the best opportunity to attack!

Lord Daoist Ping Du did not know if Shi Xuan could move and avoid when he was refining the artifact, but he was sure that no matter what he was refining, at the critical moment when the artifact was about to be completed, it could not be moved. Otherwise, all his previous efforts would be wasted.

In order not to alert the enemy, he had waited patiently for more than nine hundred years and did not disturb Shi Xuan. Finally, he had waited for this great opportunity.

That was why Shi Xuan was so calm during the process of refining the Luck Extinguishing Diagram. There were no disturbances. Everything was focused on these few crucial moments.

The Colossal World of Destruction behind Shi Xuan that already had the appearance of a picture scroll became smaller and smaller. The auras of destruction, doomsday, massacre, and destruction rolled ferociously. They gathered and solidified as if they were about to condense into something terrifying.

However, the giant black hand was about to grab Shi Xuan's auspicious cloud.

Without layers of defense, the attack of a peak half-step Golden Immortal was enough to destroy a million years of cultivation of Shi Xuan, directly injure Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit and destroy his Dao foundation!

Unless Shi Xuan operated the Dao Embryo of Life and Death with all his strength, he could not block this attack.

The sky warped as a shapeless and immaterial stream of clear air that was untainted by life, death, kindness, evil, and everything else that was born after the heavens and seemed to have transcended the three dimensions flew out abruptly, and it struck the pitch black hand.

Death could not invade, and the mortal world could not touch. Although the innate Primordial Clear Qi was much weaker than the giant black hand, it managed to deflect it, causing the giant black hand to brush past Shi Xuan. It did not manage to grab Shi Xuan!

Not far away, Lord Daoist Ping Du's eyes narrowed. "Mystic Fairy!"

After the battle with Red Deity, Mystic Fairy, who was already close to perfecting her Dao foundation, finally reached perfection. Her innate Primordial Clear Qi also rose to the third realm of the Supreme Divine Art. Therefore, under the Nine Yin Nine Death Palm Print, she did not suffer as much suppression.

After brushing away the pitch-black hand, the ethereal and transcendent Clear Qi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and turned into flowing light spots and dissipated.

How could Shi Xuan not know that the most dangerous moment was when the Fortune Extermination Catalog was about to be completed? Of course, he invited helpers to delay time. Especially with the Eye of All Souls in the Myriad Heavens and Realms, contacting helpers was practically undetectable. Moreover, through it, he drew out a path that bypassed many Lost Paths of Chaos, allowing Mystic Fairy to directly cross realms and attack. It was impossible to guard against it!

However, Lord Daoist Ping Du was not surprised at all. Although he did not know which helpers Shi Xuan would invite, he would not underestimate Shi Xuan and think that he was an arrogant and reckless person. Therefore, he expected that there would definitely be people who would stop him.

A dark green flame pierced through the void, burning all vitality, and followed closely behind the Nine Yin Nine Death Palm Print. However, it arrived first and was about to burn Shi Xuan's protective light.

A beam of resplendent starlight lit up, carrying with it an unstoppable momentum. It ignored all obstacles and barriers, and directly struck the dark green flame.

Heaven Measuring Ruler!

Although the difference in strength was not small, after being hit by the Heaven Measuring Ruler, the dark green flame dimmed a lot. Burning on the light of life and death, it only burned away two hundred thousand years of cultivation of Shi Xuan.

Lord Daoist Ping Du's reaction was extremely fast. Just as the Prime Time Fire Incantation was blocked, his Natal Numinous Treasure, the Myriad Heavens Ghost Emperor Seal, was about to fly out.

However, at this moment, the void around him collapsed and was destroyed inch by inch. Time was destroyed, the laws were destroyed, the Great Dao was destroyed, and even his Eternal Slumber Cloud of the Netherworld and the protective dark light were destroyed.

What was even more terrifying was that he was caught off guard. The power of destruction brought along his cultivation and directly injured Lord Daoist Ping Du's Primordial Spirit.

Lord Daoist Ping Du looked over in shock. Among the countless images of destruction, a tall and beautiful woman in a purple robe with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes slowly walked over. Above her head was an auspicious cloud filled with the aura of destruction. Billions of light drooped down like a water curtain in front of the eaves, causing waves of ripples.

Drawn by the source of destruction, billions of Skyfiends worshipped her as if she was the Lord of Skyfiends!

"Shenxiao Palace!"
