CHAPTER 759: 634 PIGEON PLATE DISASSEMBLY

Sand God Child brought Lin Han into the world he had created, the very Sand God World.

Only by hiding in his own tiny realm was he able to avoid the scrutiny of top Buddhist masters.

Others also had opened their own small worlds, such as the Red Lotus Old Demon, but theirs could not be moved—the entrance had remained in the same place for hundreds or thousands of years.

The entrance to the Red Lotus World was in the cliffs of some peak at West Kunlun.

However, Sand God Child thought of a method: his entrance was the altar city constructed by one hundred and eight devils, and wherever the altar city stood, there lay the entrance to his Sand God World.

By staying in his own world with Lin Han like this, no one outside could absolutely see them, it was fail-safe.

Soon after, Master You Tan arrived, and even she could not see Sand God Child’s little world, yet she knew he had come.

She said to Yi Jing’s master, Venerable Yizhen, "Sand God Child must have arrived already, hiding in that nest he has carved out."

Venerable Yizhen said, "He wants to rescue Jiu Panpo and rebuild her Divine Soul, then send her for reincarnation. How nice he thinks it is, but he does not realize it’s all merely his wishful thinking. There’s no fate of husband and wife between him and Jiu Panpo, no matter how he exhausts his Heart Power, in the end it’s all but flowers in the mirror, the moon in the water. With greater resentment in her reincarnation, it’s certain that her demonic nature will strengthen and her Dao will wane, and in the future, no one will be able to control her. Not only will she come back to seek revenge on the Yi Family, but she will also bring immense killing calamities to many innocents."

Both of them thought that with Li Ying Qiong and the others dealing with Jiu Panpo underground, they were sufficient, for Jiu Panpo, no matter how powerful, couldn’t contend with so many Heavenly and Earth Immortals.

Their task was to prevent Sand God Child from taking away Jiu Panpo’s remnant soul and to stop others from seizing the Secret Demon Divine Shuttle.

Sand God Child hid in his own world, invisible to Master You Tan, and Master You Tan also used the Superior Buddhist Divine Skill, shielding herself with Buddha Light to obscure the universe, making it impossible for him to find her.

After less than half a day, the Blood River Demon Formation underground was broken, the Netherworld Blood River Flag accumulated over a thousand years was destroyed, the several Great Hells built were smashed, and the demons and evil spirits imprisoned inside were wiped out.

Tie Shu met with disaster and was killed, while Jin Shu and Yin Shu, despite the timely arrival of the half-aged nun, were still a step too late and were killed by Yi Ding and Yi Zhen.

Seeing her situation was dire, Jiu Panpo bet all her chips and unleashed the Heavenly Stars Secret Demon Divine Shuttle!

The shuttle, bursting through the Earth’s surface, flew into the sky and continued to ascend, drawing power from the Heavenly Stars.

Lin Han acted immediately to capture the Divine Shuttle, but abruptly, Venerable Yizhen stepped in to stop him, "This object belongs to Jiu Panpo, borne of her countless efforts. Leaving it in the world is also a curse, better to destroy it!"

Lin Han asked, "How to destroy it?"

Venerable Yizhen said, "Send it into outer space!"

"No! This Divine Shuttle seeks to draw the power of the Heavenly Stars and reflect it back to the Earth. The higher it’s sent, the greater its power will be. Sending it to outer space is precisely helping Jiu Panpo; do you think its power isn’t great enough?"

Venerable Yizhen said, "Master You Tan will block the connection between Jiu Panpo and it from below, so it will not fall back down."

Hearing this, Lin Han withdrew his Spell, "Since you already have a method to handle it, then do as you have proposed. However, I shall not participate."

He returned to the cliff and looked up at the rapidly spinning and ascending Divine Shuttle.

In fact, the method proposed by Venerable Yizhen was feasible. Such a powerful Treasure that could potentially destroy heaven and Earth was no joke. Lin Han didn’t need to possess it; as long as it didn’t explode, causing catastrophic disaster to the Human World, there was no need to argue with the opposition at this point. Otherwise, a single mishap could trigger its detonation.

Yet, he felt anxious: If there was already a way to properly manage this object, why had his master sent him from so far away?

At the present moment, however, there seemed to be nothing amiss. Venerable Yizhen and Master You Tan were also trying to prevent this object from harming people—their intentions could be said to align.

Standing on the cliff, Lin Han watched as the Divine Shuttle flew higher and higher, until it passed beyond the dome of the sky, starting to emit vast amounts of star beams, absorbing the power of the sun, the moon, and the five planets. More and more stars appeared in broad daylight, the moon also emerged, and the sun appeared larger than usual, though its light was far dimmer, as a lot of the luminosity and heat were being absorbed by the Secret Demon Divine Shuttle.

Lin Han grew increasingly uneasy and looked down to see a faint layer of Buddha Light floating between the Nine Ring Mountains; knowing Master You Tan had made her move, using the Buddha Light to sever the connection between Jiu Panpo and the Secret Demon Divine Shuttle, he felt a bit relieved.

Jiu Panpo, realizing her connection to the Secret Demon Divine Shuttle had been severed, became anxious and furious. This was her last desperate move!

She let out a series of long howls, constantly casting Demon Sect Secret Techniques, trying to reconnect with the Divine Shuttle.

With Herculean effort and spilling a great deal of her Essence Blood, she finally managed to regain a sliver of connection, but had no control over it. The Divine Shuttle rose ceaselessly with unstoppable momentum, moving further away from her.

The higher the Secret Demon Divine Shuttle was sent, the more power it attracted from the Heavenly Stars, and the greater the explosion would be in the end.

But the farther it was from her, the more difficult it was to control, and the more star power it attracted, the harder it was to harness. Therefore, the greater one’s Mana, the more power could be unleashed by it. However, human strength ultimately has its limits, and there’s an end to what anyone can do.

Jiu Panpo’s mana might have been formidable, but even she had her limits, and now, engaged in battle with several Heavenly Immortal level experts from the Emei Sect, her Primordial Qi was severely damaged. Once the Divine Shuttle ascended too high, she would no longer be able to make it re-enter the atmosphere and charge towards the ground with the power of the Heavenly Stars.

Master Yizhen continued to protect the Divine Shuttle as it ascended, while Master Youtan exerted his full power outside to cast a barrier.

Jiu Panpo was in extreme discomfort. She had a premonition that her plight today would lead to a dead end and that she wouldn’t even have the chance to destroy her enemies with her. If she did not figure out a way to escape soon, she would perish without a trace, both body and soul.

She let out a sorrowful and piercing long scream, like a night owl’s cry or a cuckoo’s bloodshed tears.

This old demon used her last ounce of strength to push back the Flying Sword Magical Treasures cast by Li Yingqiong and the others, then, spreading her arms wide as if being torn apart by five horses, she suddenly split her body into nine pieces!

She deployed the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Great Technique, not only splitting her flesh but also dividing her Primordial Spirit into nine parts.

Instantly, the space around them began to warp, and the earth, water, fire, and wind elements were all stirred up—a surge of earth Qi rose, the sky’s energy descended, the earth trembled, underground water erupted chaotically, and sand and gravel flowed as if liquid.

"Not good! The old demon is going all out!" someone shouted loudly.

"If she wants to go all out, then let her! Haven’t we seen enough of these demons throwing themselves into desperate fights?" Li Yingqiong urged everyone to stay calm and prepare to retreat.

While she told others to retreat, she didn’t leave immediately herself. She was covering for her fellow sect members to ensure their escape and at the same time, she noticed that Jiu Panpo’s Heavenly Demon Disintegration had a follow-up move. Her Primordial Spirit had split precisely into nine parts, but it didn’t just vanish with the wind. She then asked Zhou Qingyun to stay with her to completely annihilate Jiu Panpo’s fragmented soul.

Jiu Panpo had attached each part of her divided Primordial Spirit to the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon, each merging with one part.

The nine devils laughed in unison, "Giggle giggle." They had been battered and tossed about by the Emei Sect to the point of disarray, but now, having absorbed Jiu Panpo’s Essence Blood and merging with her Primordial Spirit, they were overjoyed.

Then, the Nine Demons took their positions in the nine palaces, simultaneously spitting out a beam of blood light, causing the earth to shake even more violently. The elements of earth, water, fire, and wind went into a frenzied outbreak, then they transformed into nine streams of Demon Light, scattering in all directions.

Jiu Panpo had become one with these nine demons, using them to carry her split Primordial Spirit and escape. The danger was unspeakable, but as long as even one demon got away, there was a possibility of her reincarnation in the future. Although it was faint, there was still a glimmer of hope.

The nine demons burst forth from the ground and immediately encountered Master Youtan’s Buddha Light.

They screamed in fury as they attacked the Buddha Light, causing it to shake violently like water ripples.

"Xia’er!" Master Youtan called for his disciple.

Qi Xia’er immediately released the Heavenly Dragon Demon Suppressing Sword, which transformed into nine golden rays falling from the sky, aiming to pin down the nine demons.

At this moment, Qi Xia’er was also fully prepared to achieve rebirth into bliss. She exerted all her strength to control the Nine Divine Swords; had they been ordinary demons, they would have been pinned down and killed long ago.

But the Nine Demons were not to be underestimated. Laughing "giggle giggle," they flew chaotically through the air, eluding the swords that chased after them. Master Youtan, deploying the separating and joining Buddha Light from all sides, tried to cut off their escape, but the Nine Demons managed to dodge every attempt with their erratic movements. Knowing their vast Divine Skills, he focused on preventing them from escaping into the sky while sending a telepathic message to the other Emei Sect disciples to surround and trap them.

Beneath them, the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind grew even more violent, and the cliffs of Nine Ring Mountain cracked, stones tumbling chaotically.

Below, Li Yingqiong and Zhou Qingyun were still underground. Zhou Qingyun asked what to do, and Li Yingqiong told her not to worry. She then took out a Treasure.

In the past, Saintess Jiayin had collected more than twenty Buddhist Treasures, many of which were left by the Absolute Venerable ones from the Buddhist faith. One of them was called the Vajra Spirit Stone, which had the specific ability to suppress earth veins.

She took out the Vajra Spirit Stone and threw it into the Blood River below.

That Blood River was connected to the earth veins, and its eight tributaries flowed into the Eight Great Hells set by Jiu Panpo, the central energy source of the Underground Demon Palace beneath Nine Ring Mountain.

Jiu Panpo wanted to destroy this place, mainly utilizing the Heavenly Demon Disintegration to catalyze the explosion here.

At that moment, the blood water in the river churned as if boiling, and numerous blood fountains sprang forth violently.

The Vajra Spirit Stone, thrown in, floated atop the Blood River, shimmering with golden light. Within its radiance, specks of Golden Light Lotus blossomed, instantly illuminating the blood chamber.

Li Yingqiong gestured and cast a spell, stimulating the Spirit Stone to suppress the Blood River.

Sure enough, the Blood River quickly calmed down, the earth ceased to shake, and the blood fountains stopped, though some turbulence remained.

Just as Li Yingqiong and Li Zhou thought they had achieved their goal, suddenly the Vajra Spirit Stone unexpectedly sank into the river.

Li Yingqiong was astonished and quickly gestured to summon it back, attempting to make the Vajra Spirit Stone float again, but it sank all the way to the riverbed.

Following that, the earth trembled once more, and the Blood River surged anew.
