CHAPTER 630: MAHAYANA INFUSION

Chapter 630: Mahayana Infusion

Time rewinds to half an hour earlier.

Hua Jin the True One rode along on Chen Huaian's flying sword, simultaneously acting as their guide.

The three of them flew on their swords directly toward Great Thunder Mountain, where the Great Thunder Temple was located.

She had originally felt that Zhang Yibai and Chen Huaian were extraordinary, and this method of sword flight, completely different from the Ascenders of this world, confirmed her suspicions once again.

But so what?

It didn't change the fact that Chen Huaian and Zhang Yibai were her and Wang Shouyi's saviors.

Along the way, Hua Jin chattered incessantly, continuously explaining the secrets of the Demon Kingdom entrance and the method to open it, as well as how to carefully avoid the Great Thunder Temple's protective temple formations. She practically exposed all of the Great Thunder Temple's secrets.

This also let Chen Huaian know that the Heavenly Demon Art had already begun to take effect on Hua Jin the True One.

And this effect was unusually fast.

It was estimated that Hua Jin the True One had already placed him and Zhang Yibai on her absolute trust list.

However, before Hua Jin the True One could finish speaking.

Zhang Yibai, flying at the very front, suddenly stopped.

He hovered in mid-air, his gaze sharp as lightning, staring intently at the distant majestic temple bathed in solemn Buddhist light—the Great Thunder Temple.

"What's wrong?" Chen Huaian stopped, looking ahead with confusion.

Zhang Yibai narrowed his eyes, his hand already instinctively resting on the sword hilt at his waist—he had detected terrifying demonic energy.

That demonic energy was extremely strange and mixed, containing both evil energy and Buddhist energy within it.

It was hard to imagine how these inherently incompatible energies had blended together.

"No need to search." Zhang Yibai said calmly: "That beast has come out on its own!"

As soon as the words fell!

BOOM——!!!

A deep, thunderous roar, seeming to originate from the very fabric of space itself tearing apart, violently erupted from the dimension above the Great Thunder Temple that ordinary people couldn't see.

Immediately after, in Chen Huaian and Zhang Yibai's perception, the space in that area seemed to be violently torn open by an invisible giant hand.

A massive, distorted spatial rift shimmering with dark light was forcibly pried open amidst the Great Thunder Temple's solemn Buddhist radiance.

The energy at the edges of the rift violently tore at the surrounding space, emitting a heart-palpitating sizzling sound.

The spiritual energy throughout the entire Great Thunder Mountain area instantly became wild and chaotic.

The originally peaceful Buddhist light was contaminated by the filthy, bloody aura emanating from the rift, becoming flickering and unstable, like a candle flickering in the wind. ꞦÁ₦ꝋBƐṡ

The devout worshippers at the foot of the mountain didn't understand what was happening, only feeling inexplicably oppressed in their hearts, as if a sky-collapsing, earth-shattering sense of panic swept over them, causing them to look around in terror.

Hua Jin the True One's face drastically changed: "The Demon Kingdom... has been forcibly torn open?! What is the Golden Scale Heaven-Piercing Python doing?!"

She had completely not expected this kind of scene.

Why would the Golden Scale Heaven-Piercing Python suddenly come out instead of properly hiding in the Demon Kingdom?

Something abnormal was happening, and it definitely wasn't anything good.

Immediately following, a heavenly light descended from the center of the dark clouds, and a giant golden python flew out from the Demon Kingdom to meet that heavenly light.

From the heavenly light within those dark clouds, both Chen Huaian and Zhang Yibai sensed an aura completely different from that of Earth Star.

Above the heavenly light was another world.

Combined with what Hua Jin the True One had said earlier, there was no doubt—that heavenly light connected to the Upper Realm.

"That beast wants to return to the Immortal Realm!" Zhang Yibai's face darkened.

Chen Huaian's eyes even erupted with killing intent: "It wants to take Gu Changsheng away! Don't even think about it!"

Gu Changsheng was a member of his Moon Shadow Sect.

He was the ancestor of the Moon Shadow Sect—who dared to take his people?

Chen Huaian flew on his sword toward the Golden Scale Heaven-Piercing Python.

He could feel the oppressive aura of the Golden Scale Heaven-Piercing Python—it was definitely above that of Void Shattering Ascenders.

But...

So what?!

"Senior Chen! No! That's a Demon Immortal incarnation, it's dangerous!"

When Hua Jin the True One saw Chen Huaian actually daring to fly alone on his sword toward that space-tearing, demonic-energy-soaring Golden Scale Heaven-Piercing Python, she was so frightened her face turned pale, crying out in alarm.

The terrifying oppressive aura of the Golden Scale Heaven-Piercing Python far exceeded Void Shattering; it was absolutely not something a Nascent Soul cultivator could contend with.

But Zhang Yibai grabbed Hua Jin the True One, who wanted to rush forward to stop him, and stared intently at that blue-robed figure fearlessly charging toward the massive rift, saying solemnly: "Trust him! Old Chen never does anything he's not confident about!"

Trust?

This... how can I trust this?

Nascent Soul against Harmony stage—she simply couldn't bring herself to believe it.

Hua Jin was shocked and doubtful, looking at Zhang Yibai's confident profile, then at Chen Huaian's small yet resolute figure charging toward the behemoth. Though puzzled in her heart, she ultimately suppressed her worries and chose to observe, though her palms were already soaked with cold sweat.

Chen Huaian's sword flight was extremely fast, and in an instant he had rushed beneath the massive spatial rift.

He faced the Golden Scale Heaven-Piercing Python that was about to completely enter the rift, radiating overwhelming ferocious power.

The oppressive aura of the Demon Immortal incarnation pressed down like a tangible tsunami, almost crushing him.

"Feels... not that impressive either."

He snorted coldly, directly taking out an ancient golden token from his spatial backpack—exactly that Divine Descent Talisman.

"Open!"

The divine talisman flew out, hovering above his head.

Hum——!

A terrifying will that made hearts constrict violently descended!

Rumble!

The space around Chen Huaian suddenly shook violently and distorted.

That oppressive aura had nothing to do with the Golden Scale Heaven-Piercing Python, but originated from himself.

A golden light pillar that seemed to pierce through endless time and space, ignoring spatial distance, suddenly enveloped him.

"Urgh—!!!"

Chen Huaian let out a low roar.

It wasn't pain, but the extreme swelling sensation of power instantly surging, his physical body almost bursting.

But the power from the divine talisman protected his body, allowing it to quickly adapt to that power.

Washed by the vast True Essence, Chen Huaian stood in mid-air, his robes fluttering without wind, snapping loudly!

Nascent Soul, Nascent Soul, Unity, Void Shattering!

Early Void Shattering... Middle Void Shattering... Late Void Shattering... Void Fusion Grand Completion!

His cultivation level skyrocketed at an incomprehensible speed.

That majestic, vast aura was like an ancient behemoth awakening! Rising! Roaring!

Instantly breaking through the blockade of the Golden Scale Heaven-Piercing Python's Demon Immortal incarnation oppressive aura, even faintly shaking the heavenly rules of Earth Star.

"This... what kind of power is this?!"

Hua Jin the True One, watching from afar, was completely stunned, her beautiful eyes wide open, murmuring in disbelief.

She could clearly feel the terror and transcendence of the power essence on Chen Huaian—that was definitely not power from this world.

Although Zhang Yibai had been mentally prepared, witnessing this terrifying cultivation breakthrough like a heavenly river pouring down, his hand gripping the sword hilt couldn't help but tighten, brilliant light flashing in his eyes: "Damn! Brother Chen really knows how to hold back!"

However, just as Chen Huaian's aura was about to break through Void Fusion Grand Completion and touch a higher level.

Hum——!

The entire space of Earth Star seemed to be tightened by an invisible net of rules!

Countless visible golden chains shimmering with Dao pattern lights appeared out of thin air.

These chains coiled around Chen Huaian's body, trying to suppress the power that continued to break through upward.

But there was a faint trend of being unable to suppress them.

The chains kept breaking, kept repairing.

But the repair clearly couldn't keep up with the breaking speed.

"Annoying..." Chen Huaian raised a pair of radiantly shining eyes, looking directly at the sky.

As if also making eye contact with Earth Star's heavenly rules.

His Cangyun Realm incarnation's power was too strong; even before fully pouring over, it had already triggered Earth Star's self-protection mechanism.

His breakthrough cultivation temporarily stopped.

But—it was enough!

Chen Huaian's figure flickered, almost instantly arriving beneath the Golden Scale Heaven-Piercing Python.

His palm boldly reached out, not using any supernatural powers.

That hand contained the terrifying power to move mountains and fill seas, with golden light faintly flowing beneath the skin.

Five fingers like hooks, carrying the sharp whistle of tearing space, fiercely grabbed the snake tail covered in dazzling golden scales, blazing hot like fire.

His entire body tensed, immense force pouring through his arm into the Golden Scale Heaven-Piercing Python's tail.

"Wretched beast!"

"For This Venerable One—come down!!!"

Squelch——!

That snake tail covered in hard golden scales, capable of withstanding treasure attacks, was actually crushed by his five fingers.

Scales splattered, flesh mangled.

"ROAR——!!!"

The Golden Scale Heaven-Piercing Python struggled madly, wanting to enter the Upper Realm.

But Chen Huaian's arm was steady as a rock.

His entire body's muscles bulged, veins protruding like coiling dragons, the void beneath his feet being forcibly shattered.

"Come down—!" A low roar.

Chen Huaian's waist suddenly sank, his right arm twisting, grabbing that snake tail,

Like swinging a massive whip, he fiercely hurled it toward the bloody, filthy earth below!

BOOM——!!!

The entire Demon Kingdom space shook violently, crumbling inch by inch.

The viscous bloody earth, as if struck by a meteor, instantly exploded into a massive crater hundreds of zhang in diameter.

The shockwave, carrying stinking blood mud and shattered stones, swept out in all directions like a tsunami.

Dust and smoke surged into the sky, obscuring nearly half of the Demon Kingdom's sky.

Zhang Yibai and Hua Jin were dumbfounded.

This scene was simply too shocking...

That was the Golden Scale Heaven-Piercing Python, a Demon Immortal incarnation... and Chen Huaian had actually used this purely violent throw to drag it back alive from the nearly closed Upper Realm rift.

Like a dead dog, it was fiercely smashed onto the Great Thunder Temple's practice grounds.
