Chapter 314 Battle against demonic beasts, seize treasures, and summon the gods!
Su Fan placed his hand on the Maitreya Buddha statue, and the golden light from the Investiture of the Gods flowed into it continuously.
But this time, the situation is different.
Although the Blood Fiend Sealing Technique of the past was troublesome, the black aura would slowly dissipate when illuminated by golden light.
But the black mist in front of them seemed to be alive.
It not only doesn't dissipate, but it's actually devouring the golden light.
Su Fan's expression changed.
He increased the output of golden light.
The black energy devoured it even faster.
Su Fan's heart sank.
He withdrew his hand and took a step back.
The Yellow Emperor walked over.
"What's wrong?"
Su Fan gritted his teeth.
"Something's wrong. This black aura is devouring the golden light. The more I use the Investiture of the Gods, the more power it absorbs."
The Yellow Emperor's expression changed.
He raised his hand, and a beam of golden light shot towards the statue.
The golden light entered the statue, only to be swallowed up by the black aura.
The Yellow Emperor withdrew his hand, his expression solemn.
"This is no ordinary Blood Fiend God Sealing Technique. This is... the Blood Fiend God Devouring Array."
Su Fan was taken aback.
"The God-Devouring Array?"
The Yellow Emperor nodded.
"Yes. An upgraded version of the Blood Fiend Sealing God Technique. The person who set up the array used their own blood essence and resentment to create a miniature array inside the statue. This array can not only seal the god, but also absorb external forces to strengthen itself."
"The more you attack it with divine power, the stronger it becomes."
Su Fan's face turned ashen.
"What should we do then?"
The Yellow Emperor paused for a moment.
"A special talisman is needed, called the 'Purification Talisman.' This talisman can purify all evil spirits, not by divine power, but by the righteous energy of heaven and earth."
Su Fan's eyes lit up.
"A purification talisman? Where can I get one?"
The Yellow Emperor shook his head.
"I cannot draw it. But I do know that drawing this kind of talisman requires three kinds of rare and precious materials."
Su Fan looked at him.
Which three?
The Yellow Emperor spoke slowly.
"First, the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus. It grows in extremely cold places and blooms only once every ten thousand years. It can purify all impurities."
"Secondly, the Primordial Qi of Xuanhuang. The primordial Qi at the beginning of the universe, capable of suppressing all evil spirits."
"Third, the Five-Colored Divine Soil. This is the divine soil that Nuwa used when she created humans, and it contains the power of creation."
Su Fan took a deep breath.
"Where can I find these things?"
The Yellow Emperor thought about it.
"The Nine-Leaf Green Lotus resides in the Arctic Ice Plains. The Primordial Qi of Xuanhuang resides in the Nine Nether Abyss. The Five-Colored Divine Soil resides in the ruins of Kunlun."
He looked at Su Fan.
"These three places are all guarded by ancient demonic beasts. The weakest of those beasts is at least at the third level of the Dao Realm. The strongest might be at the fourth level of the Dao Realm."
Su Fan remained silent.
He looked at the cracked statue.
The smiling face of Maitreya Buddha now looks somewhat bitter.
He took a deep breath.
"I'll go."
The Yellow Emperor looked at him.
Are you alone?
Su Fan nodded.
"I'll go alone. You all stay here and guard the statue. If the God Hunters come again, you can still hold them off."
The Yellow Emperor frowned.
"You're only at the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm, while those demonic beasts are all at least at the third level of the Dao realm..."
Su Fan smiled.
"If you can't beat them, run. I'm fast."
The Yellow Emperor paused for a moment.
Then he laughed.
"Okay. Go ahead then. Be careful."
Su Fan nodded and turned to leave.
……
Arctic ice sheet.
A vast expanse of silvery white.
As Su Fan stepped out of the teleportation array, a bone-chilling cold swept over him.
The temperature was frighteningly low, at least below zero.
If an ordinary saint were to enter, he would be frozen into an ice sculpture in an instant.
But Su Fan had the Pangu Armor protecting him, so he could endure the cold.
He took a deep breath and looked into the distance.
Ahead lay an endless expanse of ice.
Deep within the icy plains, there is a giant blue lotus flower.
The lotus flower is a hundred feet tall, its petals are crystal clear, and it emits a faint blue light.
Nine-petaled blue lotus.
Su Fan's eyes lit up.
He soared into the air and flew towards the lotus flower.
Halfway through the flight, suddenly, a terrifying aura surged out from beneath the ice.
boom--!!!
The ice layer cracked.
A gigantic monster burst forth from beneath the ice.
It was a giant bear, pure white, hundreds of feet tall, and covered in ice armor.
Its eyes are blood red.
The third level of Dao realm.
The white bear looked at Su Fan, a hint of contempt flashing in its eyes.
"A mere human at the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm dares to steal my lotus flower?"
Su Fan looked at him.
"Is this lotus flower yours?"
The polar bear sneered.
"Of course. I've been guarding this place for 30,000 years, just to wait for it to bloom. In another 1,000 years, it will be ready. When that time comes, I will eat it and break through to the fourth level of the Dao Realm."
Su Fan nodded.
"Alright. I need to discuss something with you."
The polar bear was taken aback.
"discuss?"
Su Fan smiled.
"Yes. I urgently need this lotus flower. If you give it to me, I'll owe you a favor."
The polar bear paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.
The laughter was deafening, making the ice tremble.
"Hahahaha! A human at the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm dares to say he owes me a favor? Who does he think he is? A powerful expert at the fifth level of the Dao realm?"
Su Fan wasn't angry.
He waited until the polar bear finished laughing.
Then he said.
"My name is Su Fan. Su Fan of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion."
The polar bear was taken aback.
"The Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion? That newly emerging force?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Yes. You should have heard that I killed a God Hunter at the fourth level of the Dao Realm."
The polar bear's expression changed.
Of course he had heard of it.
The seventh elder of the God Hunters, a fourth-level Dao Realm cultivator, was killed by a junior in the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos Realm.
This matter has spread throughout all the heavens and myriad realms.
But he still sneered.
"That's because of the gods behind you. Now, you're all alone. What do you have to fight me with?"
Su Fan smiled.
"Then let's give it a try."
He raised his hand, and the Immortal Execution Sword was drawn.
The polar bear looked at the sword in his hand, a glint of greed flashing in its eyes.
"A fine sword. Once I kill you, it will be mine."
He struck out with his palm.
The palm strike was like thunder, carrying a chilling force.
Su Fan unleashed a sword strike.
The sword light and the palm wind collided.
boom--!!!
Su Fan staggered back more than ten steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
The polar bear took a step back, its expression unchanged.
He looked at Su Fan and sneered.
"Mid-stage Primordial Chaos Realm cultivator, able to withstand one of my palm strikes? Interesting. But that's all."
He slashed down with his claw.
The claws were as numerous as mountains, covering the sky and the earth.
Su Fan neither dodged nor evaded, but instead unleashed a sword strike.
Sword light and claw shadows collided.
boom--!!!
Su Fan was sent flying backwards again.
But he got up and rushed forward again.
One sword.
Two swords.
Three swords.
He charged forward again and again like a madman.
The polar bear grew increasingly frustrated as the fight progressed.
This human at the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm is incredibly weak, yet he's like an unkillable cockroach.
I'm so annoying.
He roared and slapped Su Fan on the head.
He used all his strength in that palm strike.
Su Fan neither dodged nor evaded, but instead unleashed a sword strike.
boom--!!!
Su Fan was sent flying backwards, crashing into the ice and creating a large crater.
The polar bear took a step back, its expression unchanged.
He looked at Su Fan lying in the pit and sneered.
"Dead?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Fan climbed out of the pit.
He was covered in blood, but his eyes remained bright.
He looked at the polar bear and smiled.
"this one?"
The polar bear's expression changed.
"you……"
Su Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"You struck with thirty-two palms. I parried thirty-two sword strikes. Now, it's my turn."
He raised the Immortal Execution Sword.
The Investiture of the Gods unfolds overhead.
Three hundred and sixty-five golden rays shot out and merged into the Immortal Execution Sword.
The Zhuxian Sword shone with an unprecedented brilliance.
Su Fan unleashed a sword strike.
The sword light was like a rainbow, tearing through the void.
The polar bear's expression changed drastically.
He fought back with all his might.
But it couldn't be stopped.
The sword light struck him directly.
puff-
A huge wound cut diagonally from his shoulder to his waist.
Fresh blood gushed out.
The polar bear let out a miserable cry and collapsed to the ground.
He struggled to his feet, looking at Su Fan with fear in his eyes.
"You, you..."
Su Fan, carrying his sword, walked towards him.
"Are you convinced?"
The polar bear trembled all over.
He looked at Su Fan, then at the lotus flower.
Finally, he lowered his head.
"I'm impressed."
Su Fan sheathed his sword.
"I want that lotus flower."
The polar bear nodded.
"You...you can take it..."
Su Fan walked up to the lotus flower and reached out to pluck the nine-petaled blue lotus.
As soon as I held the lotus in my hand, a cool sensation flowed into my body.
His wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Su Fan's eyes lit up.
nice one.
He put the lotus into his system space and looked at the white bear.
"What's your name?"
The polar bear lowered its head.
"White, polar bear."
Su Fan nodded.
"Polar Bear, I'll give you a chance."
The polar bear was taken aback.
"What opportunity?"
Su Fan looked at him.
"Follow me. You'll live a life of luxury from now on. It's much better than you waiting here for ten thousand years."
The polar bear was stunned.
He looked at Su Fan with a complicated expression.
"You...you're not going to kill me?"
Su Fan smiled.
"Why would I kill you? You haven't done anything wrong. It's only natural to protect what's yours."
The polar bear remained silent for a long time.
Then, he knelt down.
"The polar bear is willing to follow its master."
Su Fan waved his hand.
"Don't call me master. Just call me Su Fan."
The polar bear stood up.
"Yes, Su Fan."
……
The deepest abyss.
total darkness.
Su Fan stood at the edge of the abyss, looking down at the churning black mist.
A polar bear followed behind him.
"Su Fan, this place is very dangerous. An ancient ferocious beast called the Nine Nether Python lives down there. It's at the peak of the third level of the Dao Realm, just one step away from breaking through to the fourth level."
Su Fan nodded.
"I know."
He jumped down.
The polar bear hesitated for a moment, then jumped down as well.
A thick black fog swept over us, making it impossible to see our own hands in front of our faces.
After falling for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, my feet finally touched solid ground.
The bottom of the abyss was more spacious than I had imagined.
The surrounding area was filled with black rocks, and occasionally a few skeletons could be seen.
In the distance, a yellow light was flashing.
The Primordial Qi of Xuanhuang.
Su Fan's eyes lit up.
He walked toward the light.
Halfway there, suddenly, a terrifying aura surged from the darkness.
Hiss--
A giant python burst forth from the darkness.
It was entirely black, hundreds of feet long, and covered in scales.
Its eyes are blood red.
Nine Nether Python.
Peak of the third level of the Dao Realm.
The Nine Nether Python looked at Su Fan, then at the white bear behind him, and sneered.
"Polar bear, when did you become a human's follower?"
The polar bear's expression changed.
"Nine Nether Python, stop your nonsense. Su Fan is my master. If you know what's good for you, hand over the Primordial Chaos Qi."
The Nine Nether Python paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! Polar Bear, you, the mighty overlord of the Arctic ice plains, actually acknowledge a human in the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm as your master? Did you get your head smashed by ice?"
The polar bear's face turned ashen.
"you!"
Su Fan raised his hand to stop him.
He looked at the Nine Nether Python.
"I want the Primordial Chaos Qi. Will you let me have it or not?"
The Nine Nether Python sneered.
"No way. What, you trying to steal it?"
Su Fan nodded.
"right."
He unleashed a sword strike.
The Nine Nether Python flicked its tail, blocking the sword light.
boom--!!!
Su Fan took three steps back.
The Nine Nether Python took a step back.
It looked at Su Fan, a hint of surprise flashing in its eyes.
"Mid-stage Primordial Chaos Realm, capable of withstanding my One-Tailed Beast? Interesting."
It opened its blood-red maw and sprayed a mouthful of black venom at Su Fan.
Su Fan dodged away.
The venom fell to the ground, corroding large pits.
Su Fan frowned.
This venom is extremely potent.
He dared not touch it.
The Nine Nether Python laughed as it watched him dodge.
"Hide? Do you think you can hide?"
It sprayed venom again.
Su Fan dodged again.
A man and a python engage in a chase at the bottom of the abyss.
Su Fan dodged while looking for an opportunity.
Finally, he found a flaw.
A sword strike was unleashed.
The sword light struck the Nine Nether Python.
But the Nine Nether Python's scales are too hard.
The sword light left only a white mark on it.
The Nine Nether Python laughed.
"Is that all the strength you have? Not even enough to tickle me."
Su Fan didn't speak.
He continued his attack.
One sword.
Two swords.
Three swords.
Every sword strike landed in the same spot.
The Nine Nether Python's expression changed.
It discovered that the scales in that location were beginning to crack.
"court death!"
It flicked its tail at Su Fan.
Su Fan neither dodged nor evaded, but instead unleashed a sword strike.
The sword light collided with the tail.
boom--!!!
Su Fan was sent flying backwards.
However, a deep wound was also left on the tail of the Nine Nether Python.
Fresh blood gushed out.
The Nine Nether Python let out a miserable cry.
It looked at Su Fan with eyes full of resentment and malice.
"You're asking for it!"
It opened its mouth and swallowed Su Fan whole.
Instead of retreating, Su Fan charged forward, directly into its mouth.
The Nine Nether Python was taken aback.
Then it laughed.
"court death!"
It closed its mouth, intending to swallow Su Fan whole.
But the next second, its expression changed.
A sword light slashed out from its body.
From the inside out.
puff-
The Nine Nether Python's body was cleaved in two by a single sword strike.
Su Fan burst out of its body, covered in blood.
He looked at the corpse of the Nine Nether Python and sheathed his sword.
"You talk too much nonsense."
The polar bear stood to the side, completely dumbfounded.
This human actually killed the Nine Nether Python?
Kill them from within?
He swallowed hard.
Su Fan walked up to the ball of primordial energy and reached out to grab it.
Upon receiving the Mother's Qi, a profound sense of weight welled up within me.
He stored it in the system space.
He turned to look at the polar bear.
"Let's go."
The polar bear nodded.
The two left the abyss.
……
Kunlun Ruins.
A desolate wasteland.
Su Fan stood before the ruins, gazing at the once glorious sacred mountain before him.
Now, only ruins remain.
A polar bear followed behind him.
"Su Fan, this place is more dangerous than the previous two. The one guarding this place is an old monster."
Su Fan looked at him.
"An old monster?"
The polar bear nodded.
"Yes. An old Qilin. It has lived for countless years and is at the fourth level of the Dao Realm."
Su Fan was taken aback.
"A Qilin?"
The polar bear nodded.
"Yes. After the Great Calamity of Longhan, the Qilin clan was almost wiped out. But this old Qilin survived and has been guarding the Kunlun Ruins and protecting the Five-Colored Divine Land ever since."
Su Fan remained silent.
He thought about it.
"Let's go. Let's go see this senior."
The two walked into the ruins.
Deep within the ruins lies a patch of land with five colors.
The land radiated a faint five-colored light.
Five-colored divine soil.
Beside the land, lay a huge Qilin.
Its body was covered with colorful scales, and it had two horns on its head. Its eyes were closed, as if it were asleep.
Su Fan walked up to it.
The Qilin opened its eyes.
Its eyes are golden.
It looked at Su Fan, then at the polar bear behind him.
"A human and a polar bear. Have they come to retrieve the Five-Colored Divine Soil?"
Su Fan nodded.
"right."
The Qilin smiled.
Do you know who I am?
Su Fan nodded.
"I know. A senior member of the Qilin clan."
Qilin raised an eyebrow.
"You knew that, yet you still dared to come?"
Su Fan smiled.
"Why wouldn't you dare?"
Qilin looked at him, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
"You've got guts. But guts don't put food on the table. You're only at the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm, what makes you think you can take the Five-Colored Divine Soil from me?"
Su Fan thought for a moment.
"Based on this."
He raised his hand, and the Investiture of the Gods unfolded.
Three hundred and sixty-five golden rays shot out, transforming into three hundred and sixty-five divine figures.
Qilin's expression changed as he looked at the divine figures.
"The Investiture of the Gods? You're the envoy who conferred the titles of gods?"
Su Fan nodded.
"right."
Qilin paused for a moment.
Then it laughed.
"Okay. Interesting."
It stood up, and its aura surged.
The fourth level of the Dao Realm.
It looked at Su Fan.
"But the Investiture of the Gods isn't enough. Let me see just how much you're really worth."
It slapped out with its paw.
The claws were as numerous as mountains, covering the sky and the earth.
Su Fan unleashed a sword strike.
Sword light and claw shadows collided.
boom--!!!
Su Fan was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Qilin took a step back, his expression unchanged.
It looked at Su Fan.
"this one?"
Su Fan got up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He smiled.
"This is just the beginning."
He rushed forward again.
One sword.
Two swords.
Three swords.
He went berserk, slashing at the Qilin with his sword again and again.
Qilin accepted them one by one.
It discovered that although this young man was weak, he had an extremely strong fighting spirit.
Every sword strike was delivered with all one's might.
Every sword strike leaves no way out.
It made three thousand moves, and the young man received three thousand moves.
Not a single step back.
A single sword strike is swift.
The more Qilin fought, the more frightened he became.
It has lived for hundreds of thousands of years and has seen countless geniuses.
But this is the first time I've seen something like this.
The 301st move.
The Qilin slapped out with its claw.
Su Fan did not answer.
He dodged it.
Then, he slashed at the Qilin's eyes with his sword.
The Qilin quickly dodged.
But we were still a step too late.
The sword light grazed its eyelids, shaving off a few eyelashes.
The Qilin was stunned.
It touched its eyelids and looked at Su Fan.
"you……"
Su Fan smiled.
"Senior, you flatter me."
The Qilin remained silent for a long time.
Then, it laughed.
"Good lad. I'm impressed."
It retracted its claws.
"Take the Five-Colored Divine Soil."
Su Fan was taken aback.
"Senior, are you not going to fight anymore?"
The Qilin shook its head.
"I'm not fighting anymore. If we continue, I'll lose all face."
It looked at Su Fan.
"You are the God-Consecrating Envoy, and you are collecting statues of gods to deal with the God Hunters. I have heard of you."
"The fact that you've made it this far means you're qualified to take the Five-Colored Divine Soil."
Su Fan took a deep breath and bowed.
"Thank you, senior."
The Qilin waved its hand.
"No need for formalities. I have only one request."
Su Fan looked at him.
"Please speak, senior."
The Qilin looked into the distance.
"The Qilin clan is almost extinct. I am the last one."
"I hope that if one day you find the realm of gods and meet the other members of the Qilin clan, you will tell them—Old Qilin is still alive and waiting for them in the ruins of Kunlun."
Su Fan nodded.
"must."
The Qilin smiled.
"Okay. Go ahead."
Su Fan walked up to the Five-Colored Divine Soil and grabbed a handful.
Upon acquiring the divine soil, a surge of creative power flowed into his body.
He stored it in his system space and turned to leave.
Behind him, the Qilin watched his retreating figure and murmured.
"An interesting kid."
……
Heavenly Buddha Realm, Maitreya Temple.
Su Fan returned seven days later.
When the Yellow Emperor saw him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're back? Did you find the stuff?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Found it."
He took out three things.
Nine-leaf blue lotus, primordial energy of primordial darkness, and five-colored divine soil.
The Yellow Emperor's eyes lit up.
"Good! With these three things, we can draw the purification talisman."
He looked at Su Fan.
Are you injured?
Su Fan smiled.
"It's nothing. Just a minor injury."
The Yellow Emperor looked at him, then at the white bear behind him.
"Who is this?"
Su Fan explained.
"Polar bear, the overlord of the Arctic ice fields. From now on, you'll follow me."
The Yellow Emperor raised an eyebrow.
"Follow you?"
The polar bear bowed in greeting.
"The polar bear greets its senior."
The Yellow Emperor nodded.
Get up.
He looked at Su Fan.
"You little rascal, you went out for a while and even picked up a lackey."
Su Fan smiled.
"Good luck."
The Yellow Emperor began to draw talismans.
He bit his fingertip and used his blood as ink.
First, a rune was drawn on the nine-leafed blue lotus, and the lotus turned into a blue light that merged into the talisman paper.
Then he drew a rune on the Xuanhuang Mother Qi, and the Mother Qi transformed into a yellow light that merged into the talisman paper.
Finally, a rune was drawn on the five-colored divine soil, and the divine soil transformed into five-colored light that merged into the talisman paper.
The three beams of light merged and transformed into a golden talisman.
Purification Talisman.
The Yellow Emperor picked up the talisman and handed it to Su Fan.
"Go."
Su Fan took the talisman and walked to the Maitreya Buddha statue.
He pasted the talisman on the statue.
The talisman glowed with golden light.
Golden light flooded the statue.
Inside the statue, the black mist struggled violently.
But this time, it couldn't devour the golden light.
Because this is not divine power, but the righteous energy of heaven and earth.
The black aura gradually dissipated under the golden light.
After an incense stick has burned.
The last wisp of black smoke disappeared.
The statue shook violently.
A beam of golden light shot into the sky.
Amidst the golden light, Maitreya Buddha emerged with a smile.
