In the faraway void, a demonic wind and Buddha light suddenly flickered, obstructing Yan Zhaoge's group's path of retreat.
Yan Zhaoge and the others weren't surprised. The reason why the other party could catch up to them was because they purposely revealed their tracks and left behind clues.
The ferocious demonic wind permeated the surroundings, enveloping the entire universe as if it wanted to devour Yan Zhaoge and the others.
Suddenly, thunderbolts exploded within the void. Lightning radiances surged, forming an independent heaven and earth. While protecting Yan Zhaoge and the others, it also isolated the demonic wind outside.
Wind and thunder continuously surged, clashing intensely against each other.
The newcomer was a Demon Race Great Sage. Currently, he was facing off against the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor. The two Grand Heavenly Realm experts were clashing against each other.
As they clashed, the profundities of their concepts canceled out a little, causing their true appearances to be revealed in front of Yan Zhaoge and the others.
Amidst the thunderbolts, an old man wearing a crown and a Daoist robe stood above the nine heavens. Streaks of thunderbolts seemed to have transformed into a carriage that carried him. Fragrant clouds covered the entire area. It was the Jade Clear lineage's style, but it was unique.
Under his control, the incomparably violent thunderbolts were orderly. They displayed the opening of chaos, the changes in space, the circulation of the five elements, the birth of myriad existences, the convergence of yin and yang, the alternation of day and night, and various other profundities.
The profundities of the myriad existences were displayed to their fullest within the thunderous sound.
It was one of the Daoism Heavenly Court's Divine Palace's Four Imperials – the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.
On the other side of the thunderbolt ocean, a tall figure stood amidst the demonic winds.
The other party stood upright like a human. He wore armor and a silver helmet. He held a crescent spade in his hand, and his voice was like a crane's cry that shook the nine heavens.
From afar, there was only one head and one face. But up close, there were people all around.
There were eyes in front, eyes behind, and eyes everywhere. There were also mouths to the left and right.
"Nine-headed Great Sage …" After seeing the other party's appearance, Yan Zhaoge squinted his eyes.
The person who was facing off against the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor was none other than the Great Sage of the Demon Race known as the Nine-headed Bug. He had once shaken the world during the Middle Journey to the West era. He was a winged insect, the ancient Divine Bird of the Nine Phoenixes. He was also known as the Ghost Chariot or Nine-Headed Bird.
During the Middle era, he was nearly beaten to death by Yang Jian and Yang Erlang. After that, he lived in seclusion and cultivated. Only now did he return to the world. He was still as ferocious as before, seeking revenge against Yang Jian.
Meanwhile, seeing this Nine-Headed Bug, the faces of Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di both sunk.
About a hundred years ago, the Dao Gate was struck by the Devil Calamity. The Three Extinct Devils — Water Devil, Earth Devil, and Metal Devil — sought to be reborn one after another, and their bodies fell into the hands of the Dao Gate's disciples.
Yan Zhaoge and the others planned to resolve the Devil Calamity. In the end, the Nine-Headed Bug led a portion of the Great Demons and interfered. As a result, Yan Zhaoge and the others failed. Chen Xuanzong, Jie Mingkong, and Chu Lili narrowly escaped death and were sealed in ice.
Looking at the Nine-Headed Bug, Yan Zhaoge recalled the smile of Chen Xuanzong and his disciples.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he sized up the people beside the Nine-headed Bug and saw another familiar face.
He was dressed like a Taoist priest, wearing a bright red golden crown, wearing a black Zizi black robe, a pair of green cloud-like shoes, and a yellow Duke Lu ribbon tied around his waist.
This old man's face was like a melon, and his eyes were like bright stars. Although he looked like a Perfected Daoist, there was a demonic aura around him.
Hundred Eyed Demon Lord.
Although this old man had yet to ascend to the Grand Heavenly Realm, his Demonic arts were so strong that even some Grand Heavenly Realm experts couldn't take him down. He was a top-notch figure within the Grand Virtual Realm.
In the past, when Yan Zhaoge and the others moved the Roving Jade Heavens into the Pill Hall, they were obstructed by this old centipede and other Great Demons. Both sides were familiar with each other, and now they met again.
Other than the two Great Demons, Buddha lights were surging.
The three Buddhist Bhantes stood by the side, keeping a distance from the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord. However, they were clearly here for Yan Zhaoge and the others.
In the middle, a Buddhist Bhante sat in the lotus position. His right hand formed the Fearless Seal, while his left hand held onto a lotus flower. On the lotus flower, there were Ru Yi Beads.
Although it was their first time meeting each other, Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di, and Gao Han could recognize him. He was the famous Gai Barrier Removal Bodhisattva of the orthodox Buddhism. He was a top-notch Buddhist expert within the Grand Virtual Realm, the Gai Barrier Removal Yard's Head.
The Buddhist Bhante on the left of the Gai Barrier Removal Bodhisattva carried a huge bag in his hand. He had a smile on his face, and his expression was filled with joy.
The Buddhist Bhante on the right was sitting in the lotus position like the Bodhisattva. He was digging his ears with one hand, and he seemed to be at ease.
"Cloth Bag Arhat, Ear Digging Arhat …" Gao Han smiled, "According to the Buddhism, becoming an Arhat is the true fruit. However, using our Daoism's standard, perhaps we should call him a Bodhisattva?"
The Gai Barrier Removal Bodhisattva said calmly, "Greetings, Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor."
Within the void, the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor said from the thunder chariot, "There's no need for formalities, and there's no need for words. Since we've met each other today, we can only fight. Fellow Daoists, please."
His voice was like the Nine Heavens' Thunder Punishment, which was capable of cleansing the world's sins. At the same time, it was as gentle as the gentle breeze and drizzle.
The two contradicting feelings intertwined, forming a unique charm.
As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped talking. Rumbling thunder started spreading towards the surroundings.
The Demonic Wind surged and obstructed the thunder.
The Nine-headed Bug opened its mouth and said, "You're foolish beyond measure. To think that you're trying to deceive us, and even risked your lives. However, since your whereabouts have already been discovered, how could we possibly give you the chance to escape?"
"There's no need to search for the Awakened Sky Hall and the Immortal Ending Ancient Sword. Everything would be within my grasp if I were to capture you. Even the Three Clear Lineage would suffer the fate of being chopped in half.
Yan Di said coldly, "I'm afraid that you don't have that capability."
"Ignorant junior." The Nine-headed Bug laughed out loud, "What do you think is a Grand Heavenly Realm?"
"Once the news is sent out, we'll know your exact location. To us, it's fine if we don't know your exact location. But if we do know your whereabouts, other than a few rare exceptions, wouldn't we be able to reach you in an instant? "
As if to prove his words were true, the surrounding void actually began to show signs of instability in this short period of time.
It was as if there was more than one figure faintly appearing, as if they were about to descend upon this place out of nowhere.
"Fellow Daoist, it's too early to be happy." The Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor's body suddenly spread towards his surroundings.
The light screen became fainter and fainter. However, it was thin and unbreakable. Like a huge bubble, it actually surrounded the two demons and three Buddhas.
Under the encirclement of the lightning halo, the demonic winds and Buddha lights seemed to be unable to pass through.
"Impressive!" The Nine-headed Great Sage was enraged. He raised the Crescent Moon Spade in his hand and slashed towards the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.
At the same time, his nine heads roared towards the skies, causing boundless astral winds to surge and slash towards the lightning screen that surrounded the entire universe.
As the thunder rumbled, it continuously exploded. However, as soon as the thunder dissipated, a new one would immediately appear. It was as if there was no end to it, and it was doing its best to obstruct the hurricane.
Yan Zhaoge looked towards the other opponents and saw the Covering Barrier Bodhisattva and the other two Buddhist Bhantes. Their expressions were calm, and they weren't flustered at all.
The Covering Barrier Bodhisattva softly chanted the Buddha's name. On the lotus flower in his hand, the Ru Yi Pearl flickered with radiance.
The radiance became brighter and brighter. In the end, it was even brighter than the Covering Barrier Bodhisattva's Buddha light, as if it could illuminate the entire boundless universe.
"My Buddha is merciful. Fellow Daoist Southern Extremity, how have you been?" A figure slowly walked out from the radiance.
The Great Strength Bodhisattva of the Grand Heavenly Realm!
