Chapter 657: The Holy Mother Wants to Go Fishing, Hearing the Song of Reversal Again_2
Who opened the door for it?!!!
The true form of the [Five Auspicious Emperors] here resembles a massive, unsettling being without a trace of humanity.
It only knows to continue moving forward, completely disinterested in any conversation.
Perhaps those Heavenly People still have the protection of some remaining lifespan, allowing the [Five Decays of Celestial] to approach more slowly.
The Fangzhang Corpse King and its skeletal, Blood River, and Netherworld factions were already extremely close to death.
Representing death itself, the [Five Auspicious Emperors] walked in the Yama Suoluo Heaven without receiving any suppression or obstruction.
Clearly feeling death approaching, the decaying vocal cords of the Fangzhang Corpse King let out a frenzied scream.
"Attack! Kill it for me!"
"Follow the decree!"
Around them, the Buddhist light blazed, countless Blood Floating, Meat Vajra, Jin Bodhisattva, Bone Arhat, Skin Venerable... soared skyward, pouncing towards the extremely malevolent Five Auspicious Emperors.
Looking at their appearance, the cultivation method of the [Guardian Corpse Buddha], a Green Seal Sage under the [Underground Master], clearly originated from this.
From behind, the Fangzhang Corpse King didn't just watch idly; the pitch-black tendrils soaked in corpse oil also lunged forward like countless enraged dragons.
Yet the Five Auspicious Emperors didn't even try to dodge, simply fully unleashing the qi of the Five Decays of Celestial from their body.
Those Vajra, Bodhisattva, Arhat... and other affiliates instantly turned to ash.
The Fangzhang Corpse King's own attack only slightly delayed the Five Auspicious Emperors' steps, without any possibility of annihilating this incomprehensible monstrosity.
And it paid the price with its tendrils crumbling to ashes as well.
The already rotten face turned exceptionally unsightly.
"This is... a new Heavenly Official? Is their power completely counteracting mine?!"
Unkillable and unavoidable.
Even facing such a strange entity as a Heavenly Official, there was a chill in the heart.
But is there a logic of defending against thieves for thousands of days without a single thief?
Just like the Heavenly Official himself constantly proclaims "Chaos is the ultimate fate of the universe," his own death seems inevitable?
A large hand grabbed a handful of decaying flesh from the body, squeezed it into a black talisman, and flicked it out.
"I still have the Heaven God System to rely on!
No matter what strange thing you are, dreaming of harming me is futile!"
The three God Systems were originally mutual aid organizations for counteracting such paths; the first thought in times of trouble naturally goes to the [Grey Deer Taoist Lord].
Unfortunately.
Just as that black talisman was about to soar towards Dragon Transformation Fan Du Heaven, a slender jade hand suddenly extended from the void, extinguishing it with a pinch.
Then, a melodious female voice echoed in his ear:
"He can't do it? How about adding me?"
Seeing the newcomer, the hollow eye sockets of the Fangzhang Corpse King widened abruptly:
"It's you! West King..."
Yet the name wasn't fully uttered.
From the [Killing Dao Fruit] within his chest sprouted a lush and verdant giant peach tree, from a corruption long embedded to the bone suddenly rebelling.
Countless roots burrowed through the decaying flesh, causing all of his Taoist Skills to collapse like a breached dam.
The [Five Auspicious Emperors] took this opportunity to fly forward and pounce on him fiercely.
"Ah——!"
The piercing scream shook the entire Heavenly Realm, unable to alert the Cang God in the slightest.
Moments later.
Looking at the Fangzhang Corpse King swallowed by the [Killing Dao Fruit] and completely plunged into silence by the Five Auspicious Emperors, the West King Holy Mother self-satisfiedly murmured:
"Do you wonder why, for thousands of years, there have been countless outstanding Green Seal Strange Immortals in the mortal world, yet none ever inherited a Purple Seal [No-Life Dao Fruit] afterwards?
Just like the Flower Hairpin Lady who proposed the Qingtian Governance, there are certainly talents among the Strange Immortals capable of changing the balance, even breaching the Heavenly Gate.
It's because there's absolutely no need for any clever people among the Heavenly Officials!
Even that Emperor of Great Yan knows to raise a group of clan members into pigs that won't threaten his throne.
And in a pigsty, any pig too combative won't fatten up, naturally needing early... castration.
This allows the Lady like me, who's been rearing pigs for thousands of years, to eat whichever I wish! Ho ho ho...
Meanwhile, the aura of the Five Auspicious Emperors surged, and the corruption belonging to the West King Holy Mother naturally began accumulating in sync.
For certain beings along the same path, the "fragrance" of this Heavenly Official's body became even more enticing.
Constantly sending out a strong signal to the whole world: "Eat me, come eat me!"
Obviously, the temptation's target is only one.
All those invaders of the Heavenly People's five decays, the Dao Fruits of the Fangzhang Corpse King being recalled, the enticing fragrance... are merely "bait".
...
Outer Heaven.
Long Yunchu realized he was unfortunately entrapped, hastily widening his eyes, staring intently at the disheveled old man who looked so much like himself, refusing to let Death's terrifying visage catch up with him.
Yet Death's approach remained unwavering.
Even if he didn't blink, the other party was merely slow, not motionless.
Think about it, even with the ability to never blink, it doesn't mean he could resist death and enable himself to live forever.
Even more dangerous is that among the five great decays, there is one known as: "Unhappy with one's position!"
Originally, Heavenly People lived the most peaceful lives, but at the end of their lives, they were no longer content with their position, even feeling restless and intolerant.
In such a state, being still for a long time is more unbearable than death.
The thought of keeping eyes wide open and not blinking had just arisen, when Long Yunchu couldn't help but start moving his hands and feet, his eyelids blinking incessantly, as if his body were crawling with countless lice.
The body of the Military Leader, tempered thousands of times, was no longer under his subjective control.
This also resulted in the disheveled old man getting closer, entering within a hundred steps in just a few breaths.
Sweat appeared under Long Yunchu's arms, his clothes filthy, resembling a dirty and smelly beggar.
"The true essence of 'Heavenly People No Leak' lies in solidifying, in locking, locking the essence, qi, and spirit of the body without a trace leaking out, naturally becoming stronger with age."
However, Long Yunchu now became like a tattered sack, leaking everything without any means to stop it.
Seeing all of this unfold, Long Lingwei's heart grew anxious, and she could no longer hold back, raising the Tiger Talisman in her hand and shouting to the Heavenly Soldiers under her command:
"Attack!"
"Yes!"
Under her command, a hundred Heavenly People who were Dao Generals acted simultaneously.
With immense blue-black military aura surging forward, carrying the grand might of clouds, rain, wind, and thunder, sweeping towards where Long Yunchu gazed.
But even though the ground sank into a large pit, the disheveled old man seen by Long Yunchu's subordinates remained unscathed, continuing to get closer and closer.
And Long Lingwei along with her squad of Heavenly Soldiers couldn't even see that disheveled old man, unable to verify any battle results.
No, soon they each saw a disheveled old man.
But that disheveled old man (woman) was actually what each of them would look like in old age, they were all ensnared!
"Die!"
"Get away! Don't come over!"
Yet, even a Heavenly Official fell, their Dao extinguished, so how could they resist the power radiating from the "Five Auspicious Heavenly Son"?
The only advantage over the Fangzhang Corpse King might be that they leaned on the "Yin Heaven Son".
Just as the five decays of the Heavenly People threatened to spread pandemically across Outer Heaven.
The entire Immortal Heaven resonated with a lighthearted song:
"The sun sets from west to east, listen to me sing a reversal song.
Thunder in the sky doesn't sound, underground stones roll uphill. Camels lay eggs in rivers, carp nest in mountains. Sweating profusely in bitter cold December, shivering in blistering cold June..."
As erratic singing arose, black and white Immortal Light filled the two palaces of sun and moon.
In front of everyone, the disheveled old man took step by step backward.
The symptoms of the Heavenly People's five decays on Long Yunchu and every Heavenly Person receded quickly.
When that decrepit old man retreated to the original spot, he began to reverse age.
From an old man to middle-aged, then to young, adolescent, baby, shrinking smaller than a fertilized egg, and explosively dissipating into grey nothingness.
Immortal Law · Reversal of Yin and Yang!
It can cause heaven and earth to lose order, sun and moon to lose constancy, akin to inverting right and wrong, mixing up black and white, known as the Divine Prison Heavenly Tribulation, the reverse journey through all of creation, even reverting Qiankun.
This is the Dao of Yin and Yang: Yin and Yang intertwined, Yin and Yang nurturing, Yin and Yang oppositional, yet rooted in the same source as Yin and Yang intertwine.
Opposed yet connected entities such as heaven and earth, sun and moon, day and night, cold and heat, male and female, above and below... etc., can inherently follow the Heavenly Dao rules to interchange.
Change the original top to the bottom, change the original left to the right, change the original summer to winter.
It naturally reverses life and death!
Even though Wang Yuan as the "Yin Heaven Son" walks the Ghost Path, just like the Fangzhang Corpse King, he too would be restrained by the "Five Auspicious Heavenly Son".
But in the face of "Reversal of Yin and Yang," which alters heaven and earth, even "death" itself must shudder deeply!
