CHAPTER 736: 611 TAI CHI UNIVERSE

The Mixed Element Qi ball forged by the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor wasn’t as powerful as the one from Tian Can and Di Que, which could destroy everything within a radius of five thousand miles, his could only destroy everything within a thousand miles.

But this power was also formidable, almost impossible for immortals and mortals alike to withstand, especially when detonated within the Infinite Ancient Poison Fire, its power even more devastating.

A loud explosion occurred, shaking heaven and earth, visibly distorting and deforming the space nearby.

This Mixed Element Qi ball was condensed from Mixed Element True Qi accumulated at the polar extremes over tens of thousands of years, imbued with copious amounts of Magnetic True Qi, and it exploded in an instant, with the Xuanyuan Dharma King bearing the brunt!

At the time of the explosion, he was less than a thousand feet away from the ball, only managing to gather the Four Symbols Blood Gang beneath him before it detonated.

The Mixed Element True Qi served as the core, the Magnetic True Qi as its shell, essentially making it a seed of a small planet, and thus its explosion resembled that of a small planet!

The Four Symbols Blood Flame Divine Gang, cultivated by the Xuanyuan Dharma King over a thousand years, was instantaneously blown apart as if ink in four colors had been knocked over, swirling chaotically in the air, shooting out in all directions. The four "Rahu Demon Gods" contained within instantly vaporized, and just as the Xuanyuan Dharma King was about to try and escape, he too was overwhelmed by the rampant Primordial Qi and completely obliterated!

Ancient Poison Fire, Mixed Element True Qi, Blood Flame Divine Gang... various elements intertwined, spurting in all directions uncontrollably.

Shi Feiyang communicated to everyone, "All listen to my command! Heavenly Steed Turns Jade Girl at the Gate... Vermillion Bird Casts into the River, Turns Teng Snake Leaps on a seesaw... Six Instruments Punishment... Nine Stars Inversion..."

This Qimen Formation, with its Nine Palace Earth Plate on the sea surface, the Eight Gate Human Plate in the middle, the Nine Stars Heavenly Plate above, including where the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon was located on the Divine Plate, all started rotating!

Under Shi Feiyang’s direction, the nine palaces shone, the eight gates opened and closed, the nine stars dazzled brilliantly, the three plates moved together, completely isolating the internal and external timelines.

The wild energy clashed upon various portals and palace positions, where over twenty superb Sword Immortals, along with their disciples, exerted all their power to resist.

At Tianqian Mountain, Xiao Nan brought out eighteen Heavenly Gang Pearls, the Xiankong Ancestor activated the Earth Mother’s Tent and the Earth Cold Bell, Shenjun Zhenyue wielded a newly forged Ninety-six Cosmic Spirit Shuttle, Cang Lingzi and Shi Wengong, along with Xiong Xue’er, collectively activated the Separation and Reunion Divine Light, Shaoyang God Monarch controlled two Qiantian Bing Fire Spirit Snakes, the two elders of the Shang Family released all the Two Elements Essence Qi accumulated over many years, and Taibai Immortal unleashed the Taiyin White Rainbow Sword Evil.

Among the eight gates, Deng Bagu brought out the Snow Soul Pearl, Shi Sheng activated the Heavenly Heart Ring, Zhu Changyuan used the Three Talents Fire Cloud Ring, Yuan Hua launched the Magnetic Divine Sand, Huo Wuhai released the Five Clouds Separation and Union, Xiong Man’s wife activated the Yin Yang Dharma Wheel, Lin Han employed the Nanming Leaving Fire Sword along with Xuan Guang Ruler, Jin Xunu continually waved the Heaven and Earth Quiet Fan.

The nine stars in the sky, needless to say, also exerted their full power.

The Heavenly Plate rotated left, the Earth Plate spun right, using Yin Escape and Yang Escape, the whole formation erupted in brilliant light.

Together, they managed to block this wave of assault, the weaker ones like Xiong Man’s wife even vomited blood, feeling as though they had been crushed by seawater, in extreme discomfort.

Having blocked the first wave, the subsequent waves were no longer a problem, but with all this chaotic mess mixed inside, between Earth Evil, Heavenly Gang, Mixed Element Qi, and Blood Flame Divine Gang rubbing against each other, unexpected things emerged, tons of Gang Sha Thunder Pearls continuously formed and exploded, their force surging like tidal waves. Below, the Ancient Poison Fire from beneath the earth continuously erupted and mingled, stronger and stronger as minutes passed.

This mess spanned approximately three thousand miles in diameter, three hundred thousand feet high, translating to nearly two hundred billion cubic kilometers, all filled with high-energy explosive materials. If released, it wouldn’t just boil the entire South Sea, but at the very least half of it, causing subsequent disasters that might even affect the two eastern and western seas along with Central Earth, drastically altering the climate, and leading to the extinction of countless creatures...

The group of immortals put in tremendous effort to withstand the initial waves, finally breathing a sigh of relief, all frowning at the rampant deadly flames filling the sky.

Everyone, including Ruan Jiu and the others, found themselves without a means to handle the situation—they could only think to continue combining their powers to contain it there, for decades, centuries, or even millennia... during which many among them might no longer be alive, their masters gone, with disciples continuing the effort, a relentless cycle.

Some discussed via private transmissions, "Could we continuously extract some of this poison fire and send it above to the Nine Heavens, using Gang Wind to grind it away gradually?"

All sect ancestors knew it was not possible: "Shi Feiyang released that Mixed Element Qi ball, unleashing a huge amount of Mixed Element True Qi, mixed with Yin Yang Magnetic True Qi, and after its explosion it started forming a suction force, pulling all these poison fires and Gang Sha towards the inside, making it impossible to extract anything now."

"What... what can we do then?" Many disciples began to panic.

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, "This is up to Shi Feiyang now... but it’s tough..."

No one questioned Shi Feiyang, all were diligently casting spells to contain the raging poison fire while silently waiting.

Fortunately, Shi Feiyang didn’t leave them waiting too long.

He had anticipated the consequences as soon as he released the Mixed Element Qi ball.

The Xuanyuan Dharma King was simply too powerful; without the Mixed Element Qi ball, they could not achieve a quick victory, and even so, they could not fully eradicate that Old Demon, whose Primordial Spirit True Spirit still persisted between heaven and earth.

Under normal circumstances, he could have used a formation to trap it from escaping until its soul was searched and completely eradicated.

But now, with rampant poison fire within the formation, no one was guarding the Heavenly Bird Star Position, the Dharma King’s Divine Skills would surely allow him to escape from the zenith in no time after his physical body was destroyed.

Luckily, after this attack, his Primordial Qi was severely damaged, and his strength was greatly compromised, temporarily unable to cause any trouble.

The most crucial task at hand was dealing with the surging poison fire in the sky.

He instructed everyone to continue working hard to guard their thresholds diligently, ensuring that not a single wisp of poison fire leaked out, while also casting spells forcefully to still control the Secret Demon Divine Shuttle.

The Divine Shuttle had not been manipulated by anyone for some time, but the momentum had already been built, absorbing the power of the heavenly stars, which shone brilliantly, each as large as a ladle.

Fortunately, the medicines Shi Feiyang had recently refined were carefully considered; they were not at their maximum capacity, and their power was still limited, thus far not beyond control.

Shi Feiyang then controlled the Secret Demon Divine Shuttle to attract the all-encompassing poison fire.

The Secret Demon Divine Shuttle established a forced connection between the heavenly stars and the poison fire, continuously drawing them together.

Its operating principle was to connect the stars with the earth, using the star’s power to rip apart and explode the earth’s crust, triggering earth fire, and then pulling down all cosmic rays, meteorites, and the like to smash onto the ground, while simultaneously causing explosions inside, releasing Void Evil Fire...

Shi Feiyang invested all his mana into the Secret Demon Divine Shuttle, lowering its height but increasing its rotation speed.

The poison fire above was completely absorbed, continuously rising until the Secret Demon Divine Shuttle was fully engulfed. Shi Feiyang found the right moment to detonate it.

"Boom!" Another nuclear-level Magical Treasure was detonated following the Mixed Element Qi ball. Into the already chaotic poison fire, vast amounts of Void Evil Fire and the aura of the heavenly stars were injected...

At that moment, Shi Feiyang also activated the Qimen Formation, turning all three plates at once, and exhaled his Chaos Dragon Ball.

His Dragon Ball had already merged with the Chaos Core obtained from the Nine Suspicions Tripod, which was a Chaos Seed from before the universe began.

Once it entered into the Chaotic Evil Fire, it first resonated with the Mixed Element True Qi.

The Mixed Element True Qi, which was the initial primordial qi destined to form the heavenly stars, was absorbed by the Dragon Ball, all drawn into it.

That Mixed Element True Qi, together with the bipolar Yin Yang Magnetic True Qi, followed closely and were absorbed by the Dragon Ball, condensing at the Dragon Ball’s poles...

Having absorbed the bipolar magnetic qi, it then drew in the energy of the forming heavens above and the most pure Ancient Poison Fire from beneath the earth.

Shi Feiyang also released the Ancient Poison Fire previously collected in the Nine Suspicions Tripod, all infused into it.

From Infinite Chaos emerged Mixed Element Qi, which then generated Turbid and Clear Qi, Yin Yang Magnetic Qi, Star and Earth Primordial, Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha, and then water, fire, wind, thunder...

With a small Dragon Ball, he absorbed the substances contained within the chaotic evil fire one by one, like extracting threads from cocoons.

Those outside watched the rampaging poison fire with concern, only to see the flames become less fierce, their force of bursting and colliding continuously weakening, bewildered by what was happening.

After two days, not only had the volume of the poison fire shrunk to less than one-tenth of its original size, but it also started to become gradually clearer.

The group of immortals were both shocked and delighted, "What method did Shi Daoist employ to so easily eradicate such a massive catastrophe?"

Almost four days and nights later, the earth fire on Tongye Island gradually subsided, and the poison fire in the sky was increasingly diminished by Shi Feiyang’s Dragon Ball.

The refined substance was all absorbed into that Dragon Ball, which was dark and fathomless internally, filled with Mixed Element Qi, occasionally flashing with lightning.

If originally it was in the Infinite State, it had now evolved into the Tai Chi State, still in the Innate State before Heaven and Earth were separated, but to truly breed a world was not so easy; it required sufficient time and opportunity.

Like a seed, which needs the right conditions to germinate, flower, and bear fruit, so too the seed of the universe.

Shi Feiyang swallowed the Dragon Ball back into his stomach, and the remaining vast amount of Tribulation Ash was also transported to the Southwest Kun Palace.

He sent a message to everyone to retract the Nine Palace Earth Plate inward, each palace no more than three hundred miles apart; the Earth Plate moved, and the Human and Heavenly Plate also shrank proportionally.

The group of immortals sent their congratulations to Shi Feiyang through message transmission, "Such a great calamity has thus been erased; Shi Daoist’s merit is immeasurable!"

Shi Feiyang said, "This is only a part of the Earth Tribulation; in the future, there will also be Human Tribulation, Heavenly Tribulation, Demon Tribulation, etc. Fellow Daoists will need to be united in heart and intent to safely pass through. The amount of remaining Tribulation Ash is immense, and piling it anywhere would form a massive mountain range.

This substance is as heavy as mountains and extraordinarily toxic and heated; mere inhalation from afar would weaken and ultimately kill a person. If placed in the sea, all vegetation and living beings would also perish, with not a blade of grass growing for at least several hundred years. Only after 360 years of repeated sea washes could the toxicity be removed.

I have an idea, while everyone is here today, and with the Qimen Formation still up, using the hands of the fellow Daoists, let’s refine it with the Eight Palace Floating Island into a set of Magical Treasures. In the future, many Daoists will face great Heavenly and Earth Tribulations; then, using this set of Magical Treasures, the group of immortals can unite to transcend the Tribulation. What do you all think?"
