CHAPTER 562: CHAPTER 105: ONE QI TO THE THREE PURE ONES

"But Senior..." Li Qingming was stunned for a moment, and then hastily said, "These are two late Sub-Saint stage Puppet Beasts. I’m afraid with your Cultivation, you might not be able to handle them!"

Yin Xi smiled and said, "As an old Tao who has lived for so many years, wouldn’t I have a few Secret Techniques up my sleeve? Besides, these beasts of the Central Heaven World might not necessarily be stronger than us!"

"If that’s the case, I’ll follow Senior’s lead!" Li Qingming was speechless but decided in his heart to intervene if Yin Xi was in danger.

"What, do you have times when you are afraid too?" Just at that moment, the Buddha controlling the dragon-shaped Puppet Beast from below shouted provocatively, and the dragon-shaped Puppet Beast, whose claw had been broken off, also flew back from a distance, attacking Yin Xi together with the giant ape Puppet Beast.

Yin Xi finally changed his expression; his face turned iron-blue as he said coldly, "Since you’re courting death, let this old Tao show you the most profound secret of the Taiching Lineage! Today, I must surely slay you under my sword!"

"Talk is cheap!" The Buddha sneered repeatedly, with the might of the two Puppet Beasts seeming to grow even stronger.

"Then let’s try!" Yin Xi was truly enraged; with a wave of his hand pointing to the Cangqiong, three auspicious clouds suddenly appeared above his head, each displaying a different color. The one on the farthest right was a pale Qing, the one in the middle was also Qing-colored but nearly transparent, and the one on the farthest left was a rich Qing color.

Then Yin Xi pointed to the Cangqiong again, and three dazzling beams of Immortal Light emerged from his body, twisting and transforming as they encountered the wind, slowly stretching, and evolving toward the form of an Innate Taoist Body.

"Why does this scene look so familiar!" Li Qingming’s eyes widened as he watched Yin Xi’s actions, feeling that this eerie scene seemed familiar from somewhere.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi began to surge violently, and the three Qing-colored clouds, both dense and light, merged with the three humanoid Immortal Lights, instantly transforming into three Daoist figures, each resembling the familiar figure of Li Qingming.

"Master, Master, Master Uncle!" Li Qingming almost cried out loud.

The three Daoist figures turned around and smiled at Li Qingming, nodding their heads and speaking in unison, "Qingmingzi, do you know who I am?"

"Uhh..." Li Qingming was momentarily dazed and scrutinized closely. He found that although these three Daoist figures looked exactly like The Three Pure Ones, their aura and might were worlds apart. With his abnormal Primordial Spirit, they were merely at the late Sub-Saint stage in terms of Cultivation, at most, only slightly stronger than the two Puppet Beasts.

A flash of golden light crossed his mind, and he recalled the mythological records of "Investiture of the Gods" from his past life on Earth, where it mentioned in Chapter Seventy-Seven that Tongtian set up the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation to block the disciples of the Yuxu Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun requested the assistance of Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad to break the formation. Unexpecting, Lord Lao Zi entered the formation alone, used the method of One Qi to Three Pure Ones, calling upon the apparitions of Shangqing, Yuqing, Taiching Dao Venerate for support, and together they shattered the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation.

Could it be, could this be One Qi to Three Pure Ones?

"You are... the Senior Yin Xi?" Li Qingming ventured to say.

"Hahaha, Qingming my friend, what good eyesight!" The three Daoist Bodies laughed heartily, their bodies continuously exuding purple True Essence Power.

Li Qingming was momentarily stunned, then joy spread across his brows. Originally, Yin Xi was only at the Middle Stage Sub-Saint in terms of Cultivation, yet his strength was enough to contend with the Great Powers at the Sub-Saint Peak. Now, with the addition of these three Daoist Bodies, comparable to real people at the late Sub-Saint stage, why worry about not being able to eliminate merely two Puppet Beasts?

Four Sub-Saints exerting their full power against two Puppet Beasts would be terrifyingly powerful!

"Beasts, cease your arrogance, witness my One Qi to Three Pure Ones!" Yin Xi and the three Daoist Bodies stepped forward boldly, each with a Longsword enveloped in swirling Yin and Yang Qi in hand.

"Clang!"

Although these sword shadows did not qualify as Spiritual Treasures, they were blessfed with Yin and Yang Qi, possessing immense might.

The four Longswords defied the distance in space, defied the defenses of the long dragon and giant ape, and fiercely chopped into their bodies, deeply embedding themselves and causing deafening roars.

"Roar! Howl!"

Two rough metallic screeches tore through the skies, causing the Cangqiong to crack. The two Puppet Beasts wildly swung their bodies in the air, desperately trying to shake off the Longswords embedded in their flesh.

But these four Daoists, extraordinary in battle, were not something that could be shaken off by mere flailing.

"Withdraw! Regroup and create the Light Spirit Treasure!" While assaulting the dragon-shaped Puppet Beast, Yin Xi suddenly shouted and jumped to one side, leaving his Light Sword embedded within the Puppet Beast.

The other three incarnations followed suit, jumping out with shimmering lights above their heads, each revealing three massive axes.

They again attacked, exerting their strongest power, assailing the Puppet Beast. Axe lights flickered, purple intents lingered, and four figures dashed through the Void like lightning, their killing intent overwhelming.

Soon, the two Puppet Beasts had all their limbs severed, and even their heads were nearly lopped off.

Li Qingming, keeping an eye on the situation at Buddha Master Transformation Hall, was not idle as Yin Xi battled the Puppet Beasts. He noticed that as the Puppet Beasts’ damage grew, the pitiful Buddha Beads and the Great Elder Po Suo of the Venerable Temple were becoming paler, their auras fluctuating hot and cold, extremely unstable.

...

Down below, inside the protective barrier of Buddha Master Transformation Hall.

"My Buddha, what should we do?" Po Suo’s forehead broke into a sweat, apparently, controlling a Puppet Beast was not as simple as imagined.

"What to do?" The Buddha, struggling to keep the Puppet Beast from failing, gritted his teeth and said, "We must fight quickly and decisively! There is no other way."

"Should we call Demon Night out? He has many secret techniques; maybe he can withstand it to some extent!" Po Suo’s complexion grew increasingly pale, the ruby mark on his forehead also dimmed.

"No, if he really makes a move, he will completely destroy the Holy Buddha Star. I can’t let Master’s foundation be ruined by our hands!" The Buddha Master’s face was fierce, clearly pushed to the limit.

"Then..." Po Suo and the Buddha Master still wanted to say something,

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a light sound came from the southeast corner of the Buddha Master Transformation Hall. The glowing barrier that spread out from inside to outside shattered into pieces in an instant, scattering into the void.

A seemingly simple-minded brown bear with a pair of small wings on its back appeared in their field of vision.

It grinned humanely at the two of them and said in a stuffy voice: "Hi, sorry, you two! Continue, continue..."

"Swoosh!"

With that, it transformed into a rainbow streaking straight into the high sky.

The Buddha Master and Po Suo exchanged a strange look, both seeing incredulity in each other’s eyes.

At this moment, the dragon-shaped Puppet Beast and the giant ape Puppet Beast in the high sky were completely destroyed by Yin Xi along with the three Dao Bodies, turning into ashes that dissipated in mid-air.

"Spurt!"

With the protection broken and the Puppet Beasts destroyed, the Buddha Master lost his focus in an instant, felt darkness before his eyes, and spat out a mouthful of foul-smelling fresh blood before falling backwards.

"Buddha Master!" Po Suo, also severely injured, suppressed the blood flowing in his chest and anxiously propped up the Buddha Master’s body, calling out loudly.

Li Qingming, who had taken the broken formation wooden tablets from Xiong Da’s paw, smiled coldly and said: "Now that the protection is gone, I’ll see what you have left to fight us with! Everyone, the grudges of dozens of Calamities are resolved today, let’s kill freely!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

All the desiring Quasi-Saints had bloodshot eyes. They roared madly, all their Spiritual Treasures aimed at the Buddha Master and Po Suo below. Most of the Quasi-Saints did not recognize these two, but that did not prevent them from killing them.

Who told them that the Buddha Master was dressed exactly like the Dharma Ancestor, who told them that Po Suo was the Great Elder of the Venerable Temple? In the end, it was all the fault of the Buddhist Sect.

"Boom!"

"Po Suo, Grandpa Dragon recognizes you! Back then you even wanted to forcefully take me as your mount; to hell with that. Today, I, Old Dragon, will send you off!" Looking at Po Suo, who was completely exposed to everyone, Zhan Long’s eyes were fiery hot.

His hand flickered with light, and suddenly a long knife with a dragon carved handle and pitch-black body appeared.

"Po Suo, prepare to die!" Zhan Long held the long knife, ignoring the chilling radiance, and viciously hacked down.

The black Sword Radiance swept three thousand zhang across the void, the murderous aura swept across Qiankun. The immense power directly shattered Cangqiong and struck down on Po Suo’s head.

Watching the Sword Radiance above him, Po Suo’s eyes revealed reluctance. He suddenly crushed the ruby seal between his eyebrows and howled to the sky: "Demon Night, come and assist me swiftly!"

"Hum!"

A pitch-black Domain Gate opened, revealing the tip of an iceberg.

That was an ancient land, surrounded by gray Chaos Qi, with the vast void faintly visible, filled with a sense of mystery.

Next, a jade-like white hand stretched out, grabbed Po Suo and the Buddha Master, and disappeared into the Domain Gate.

"Damn it, where do you think you’re going!" Furious, Yin Xi threw a shiny Zuozi in haste.

That Zuozi was terribly shiny, like a waterfall falling from the Nine Heavens, crashing from the sky with terrifying might, cracking heaven and earth!

The Zuozi with its silver gleam came from the distance, seeming able to pierce through the void, and in a flash, it reached the Domain Gate, dazzling and blinding.

Following the Zuozi, Li Qingming, who felt a strange pressure from it, like the falling of Mount Buzhou, as if the heavens were shattering.

He instinctively dodged half a step; the Zuozi suddenly flashed with golden light, striking the towering Domain Gate.

"Boom!"

It was like a nuclear explosion had been detonated, the terrifying shockwave directly shattered the Domain Gate. The lush arm that had not fully disappeared into the Domain Gate had a little finger severed, a piercing scream echoed from the other side of the Domain Gate, and then the Domain Gate eventually vanished without a trace.

"Boom!"

All the attacks, along with the pitch-black crack slashed by Zhan Long, all bombarded on the ground.

There was an earth-shattering Heaven and Earth Cracking, over a hundred resentful Attack and Conquest Techniques turned the place into flat ground, and the terrifying fluctuations completely shattered the Void, leaving no trace to be found.

Li Qingming, quick-witted, grabbed the Buddha Master Transformation Hall and firmly fixed it in the Void.

After all the dust had settled, only the lonesome Buddha Master Transformation Hall remained. (To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
