"Precept of Four Parts, Body of Precepts!"
The old, stern voice rang out once again. In Li Qingshan's ears, it was like a heavenly melody. The giant god of fire that lunged over crazily suddenly had its blazing hair cut off inch by inch, as if an invisible pair of scissors was shaving its head and accepting its precepts. A monk's robe appeared on its body, and a string of prayer beads appeared in its hand …
Li Qingshan had never seen or heard of such a strange sight before. The giant god of fire had actually turned into a monk in a single moment, but what was the point of that?
The flames on the giant god of fire did not weaken at all, but it did not blow itself up resolutely. The twisted madness on its face suddenly subsided drastically, replaced by a hint of struggle and confusion.
Zhu Yan felt the killing intent in his heart vanish, and an extremely strange feeling of benevolence arose within him instead. He regretted all the evil deeds he'd done in his life. At this moment, he couldn't even bring himself to kill a bird, let alone so many living beings.
Using this opportunity, Li Qingshan and Gongyuan backed far away. The three Merfolk Kings pulled away from the giant god of fire as well, ordering the Merfolk to disperse at the same time. Afterwards, they all unleashed their various techniques. Three thousand streaks of light, a tornado of wind, a black storm of ice, and surging water all whistled over.
The giant god of fire's advance came to a halt, and it was pushed back step by step. Flames sprayed from its body as it let out roars filled with regret. It waged war in its heart. The blazing, violent nature of divinity and the benevolent nature of buddhism constantly struggled. Having lost the support of the four hundred kilometers of sea of fire, its body rapidly shrank. Even its face became blurry.
"Unity of the Swords!" Ye Duanhai formed a seal with his hand, and the three thousand streaks of light combined into a glorious sword, sweeping past the giant god of fire's right leg.
The giant god of fire dropped to its knees. Its fury and resentment finally broke through the invisible shackles on its soul. Its monk's robes shattered, its hair reignited, and the prayer beads scattered.
Zhu Yan knew it was the Divine Nun of the South Sea again. He bellowed out, "Old damned nun!"
"Mighty be the nun!" Li Qingshan praised. Although it was not a direct attack, the effects were far too impressive. In a large-scale battle like this, it was basically even more powerful than a great sword cultivator.
The Divine Nun of the South Sea shuddered, and her face paled. She had suffered some backlash. She took out a pill and ingested it, also ignoring the hatred and admiration.
He put his palms together and chanted "Amitabha" again before introducing to Little Ann, who was beside him.
"If the precepts are the foundation of the school of vinaya, then the precepts are the main body. In the process of accepting and adhering to the precepts, you will receive your own dharma body. You will guard against evil, pursue good, and refrain from evil. Not only can it protect oneself from evil thoughts, but it can also help all living beings to realize their mistakes and convert to Buddhism. It's just a pity that this Fire Devouring King is far too violent and resentful. Even I can't save him. It's a pity, a pity. Otherwise, I'd ask her majesty to spare his life. After all, will there ever be an end to revenge? "
If the 'Precepts' are to be impervious to all Dharma, then the 'Precepts' are to prevent evil thoughts from arising, and even to the point of forcefully converting people to Buddhism.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts when they heard this. These Buddhists were poisonous!
"If you really can do that, what's wrong with me sparing his life?" Gongyuan said and glanced at Li Qingshan. The person beside her could be regarded as half a buddhist too, so it was no wonder he was so vicious!
"I'll remember that," said Little Ann.
"The process of your tonsure and ordination was far too casual back then, reduced to a mere formality. This is also the greatest flaw of the school of zen. They blindly seek to understand their true nature, rejecting the precepts as foreign objects. They drink alcohol, eat meat, and even slander the dharma. However, apart from a few eminent monks with great wisdom, how many people can understand the true meaning behind this? If I have the opportunity, I'll take up the precepts for you again. "
The Divine Nun of the South Sea shook her head and casually criticized the school of zen a little before retreating another five kilometers away with Little Ann.
She had been drifting away from the battlefield the entire time, ready to flee at any time. She had only fought twice the entire time, but no one dared to underestimate her. Instead, they felt like it was only natural. Both times she had fought had decisive effects, allowing the world to witness the power of the school of vinaya.
The storm travelled north. In the fierce wind and rain, the giant god of fire charged into the Merfolk battle formation and unleashed a massacre. With a swing of its spear, several hundred Merfolk were reduced to ashes. It was finally able to slaughter to its heart's content.
At a time like this, no one dared to approach the giant god of fire, afraid of dying together with it. They could only attack from afar. If it were not for the fact that "granny" had ordered the Merfolk warriors to disperse when they retreated, they basically would have been wiped out, slaughtered to the last.
"Even ten thousand cannot stop a single person if they put their lives on the line." This was also applicable in the cultivation world.
However, putting their lives on the line could not last for long. A while later, the giant god of fire shrank by almost three hundred meters.
The attacks from Li Qingshan and the others were all powerful enough to split mountains and sever rivers. Without the support of Zhu Fen and Zhu Zai, without the support of the four hundred kilometers of Fire Melt mountain, how long could a mere Zhu Yan last? And, the storm only made matters worse.
"Zhu Yan, when you massacred my Giant Ship island, did you think a day like this would come?" Ji Changfeng spat out a mouthful of essence blood. He went as far as to expend his cultivation, swinging the Feilian flag until it rustled loudly. The fierce winds whistled and swirled, stripping away and tearing apart the flames. He was delighted with his revenge.
Just Now, the giant god that was still insufferably mighty had become a trapped beast in the storm.
"Go die!" The giant god of fire threw out the spear with everything he had, but it was cut in half by Ye Duanhai's sword in mid-air.
Li Qingshan saw this and also felt a sense of sorrow, but it only lasted for a moment! Up until now, over half of the several thousand Merfolk warriors had already died. As for devouring, a few of them died from exhausting their strength, while the rest all retreated back to the main peak.
However, what made him sigh the most was actually not the humiliation and pursuit of him, nor was it the casualties of the Merfolk and Fire Devouring Folk, nor was it the tragedy of the destruction of his clan that Ji Changfeng brooded over. Instead, it was the several hundred thousand mortals on Giant Ship island that had been reduced to ashes in the flames without anyone noticing.
Just like how Gongyuan despised him, he had yet to completely break free from the realm of mortals. At the very least, Zhu Yan, you can still die a tragic death, fighting like a trapped beast and not dying like weeds.
Out of respect for a warrior, he would use his full strength to kill Zhu Yan here and now!
"Flame King, don't get caught up in the battle. Look to the south. The storm is coming. Quickly retreat to the main peak!"
Zhu Fen communicated in a hurry. Zhu Yan recovered a sliver of calmness and raised his eyes to the south. A dazzling light appeared in the surroundings. A white and golden pillar of light enveloped a range of several hundred kilometers, rapidly moving towards Fire Melt mountain.
In order to maximise the might of the storm, Ji Changfeng had directed it straight towards Fire Melt mountain under his meticulous control. However, this also meant that the eye of the storm would just happen to pass by Fire Melt mountain. Although it would pass by before long, it would form a windless and rainless region on the main peak of Fire Melt mountain. As long as they grasped this opportunity, they could turn the tables. They were not in dire straits yet!
Zhu Yan glanced past everyone in disdain. "Do you really think you can kill me, Zhu Yan, with such determination?" He turned around and flew towards the main peak.
"Myriad Poison, keep him busy!" Li Qingshan ordered.
Everyone was surprised. Who had not heard of the Myriad Poison Ancestor? They were already very surprised that he would come to help. With how careful he was and how much he valued his life, why would he risk his life to stop Zhu Yan?
However, to everyone's disbelief, the Myriad Poison Ancestor actually leapt up and turned into a Poison Assimilating Ghost King, blocking Zhu Yan's path.
Li Qingshan said, "If you want to perish with me, I'll give you the opportunity to perish with me. Come, show me your determination!"
Gongyuan stared at him in surprise. He turned around and asked, "Are we really going to make him return to the main peak? Once we break through the formation, how much strength will we have left, and how much strength will they have left? "
Gongyuan frowned slightly. From the start of the battle until now, none of the experts on their side had died, but the situation was not optimistic. Ji Changfeng was already powerless to continue fighting, and a great sword cultivator like Ye Duanhai was probably the least skilled in prolonged battles. In order to control the flood and attack the protective formation, the three Merfolk Kings had used up all their strength at the same time. Even casting a technique Just Now was rather difficult.
Even she and Li Qingshan had exhausted themselves when they worked together to fend off the giant god of fire and Fire Dragon of the Land. They had only managed to last until now through the wonders of dual cultivation and the endless power of Ruin's End from the Heart of the Abyss.
The battle formation of the Merfolk had already fallen, and the defences of the main peak definitely could not be breached so easily. If Zhu Yan and the others were allowed to recover easily and launch another counterattack together, the situation would become extremely dangerous. Just Now, she actually thought the outcome was already set. She was far too naive.
"What do you think we should do?"
"We've already come this far. If we don't take any risks, then we'll be underestimating our opponents far too much." Li Qingshan smiled and wrapped his arm around Gongyuan's waist tightly, flying towards Zhu Yan.
"Alright, I'll believe you!" Gongyuan shook her head helplessly. The corner of her lips curled into a smile. Ignoring her mental exhaustion, she powered the Heart of the Abyss as hard as she could. The power of Ruin's End expanded once more, turning into a black spirit turtle in the air and slamming towards the giant god of fire's back viciously.
Zhu Fen rushed over in a hurry to provide support. With a flash of his sword, he intercepted him. Faced with Zhu Fen's furious expression, Ye Duanhai said indifferently, "What, you want to blow yourself up too?"
Their eyes met, and sparks flew. The two of them began fighting again, but this time, Ye Duanhai had truly lost the upper hand, which indirectly proved that what Li Qingshan had said was true.
The three Merfolk Kings exchanged glances and nodded at the same time. With just the three of them, they controlled the flood and slammed it against the main peak violently.
Boom!
Like the world was collapsing, the water surged and splashed everywhere. The main peak of Fire Melt mountain shook violently. The surrounding four hundred kilometers of Fire Melt mountain had already been completely swallowed by the flood. Only the main peak towered into the clouds, like a lone island in the ocean.
Zhu Zai's expression changed. Originally, she wanted to control the formations to attack again and assist Zhu Fen and Zhu Yan, but now, she was in a hurry to obey the formations, afraid of losing focus.
To the north of Fire Melt mountain, the last spiritual stone cannon was reduced to a pile of scrap metal in the spiritual energy explosion.
Yu Wufeng swung the Fogbow sword and ordered, "Attack! I'll cut down anyone who tries to flee on the spot!"
The cave masters all shivered when they heard that.
"We serve the King of Savages!" The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber called out. He sucked in a deep breath and turned his body into a huge ball of flesh. Suddenly, he sprayed out with a streak of blood-red light, charging at the main peak of Fire Melt mountain.
The ten cave masters all struck out with their full strength, attacking the main peak.
