Chapter 796: Heavenly Venerate Subdues the Demon
Deng Yin's avatars numbered in the tens of thousands, wildly dashing and shooting like lightning within the Taiyi Breaking Prison Formation.
With his current strength, those Heavenly Soldiers could not withstand the frontal assault of his avatars. However, because the formation had already been set, immortal light swirled within the formation, and each Immortal Soldier was protected by the seven-colored divine light emitted from the lotus below. As Deng Yin's avatars charged forward, they were all halted by the multi-colored light.
Yet, the Blood Shadows clung to the exterior of the seven-colored divine light, open-mouthed as they absorbed, the divine energy of these Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals was sucked through the air, being inhaled strip by strip into the mouths of the Blood Shadows!
The Nine Phoenix Spirit Officer used the Golden Bowl to absorb the hundredfold Blood Shadow Divine Light shot towards him, then advanced to collect the three blood flames above Deng Yin's head, forcing his attacking avatars to temporarily retreat and change tactics, moving aside the iron spear, rolling thunder echoed, dispersing hundreds of Blood Shadows into blobs of blood energy, all taken into the Golden Bowl. Simultaneously, nine heads spewed out Purifying Divine Fire, exclusively burning all impurities and filth, transforming into nine fiery torrents rushing fiercely through the gaps of the Heavenly Gods.
Other Divine Kings, Heavenly Generals, and Heavenly Soldiers also cast spells to counterattack, eliminating the Blood Shadows attacking them.
Deng Yin sneered, letting out an angry roar, and all the remaining Blood Shadows swiftly transformed, revealing bleeding golden bodies, transforming into fifty thousand Blood Buddhas.
These Blood Buddhas simultaneously thundered with furious rage, each casting a Blood Buddha Seal!
Some were blood-stained golden Buddha Palms, some blood-stained golden Vajra Staves, some blood-stained golden Dharma Wheels, and some were blood-stained golden Wisdom Swords…
All the Heavenly Gods attacked simultaneously, clashing against these Blood Buddha Seals.
Deng Yin's Blood Buddha Avatars were fifty thousand, while these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals totaled only over thirty thousand, and they were encircled by Deng Yin's avatars!
But those eighty-one Divine Kings possessed significant power, each confronting several hundred Blood Buddha Avatars, while the formidable Heavenly Generals were also besieged.
The battle between both sides erupted in tens of thousands of blood flame and golden light explosions with each clash, blooming everywhere within the Immortal Array, with thunder rolling across the ground. The lesser-powered Heavenly Soldiers were all struck dizzy, stumbling around!
"What a demon!" The Nine Phoenix Spirit Officer swung the iron spear and commanded the alliance of gods to change formation. Originally designed to break the Blood Lake, it now turned into a demon-suppressing formation. The gods responded in unison, altering spells and waving divine artifacts.
A seven-colored lotus emerged within the Seven-Colored Lotus, from which many apertures in the lotus pod sprayed colorful light into the sky. The light dispersed into endless arrow-like Demon Slaying Divine Needles targeting Deng Yin. When they struck the Blood Buddhas, their blood-stained golden bodies shattered into pieces.
Furious, Deng Yin released a long howl and continually generated new Blood Buddha Avatars to battle the hosts of the gods, while his true form transformed into a Blood Shadow, surging directly toward the Lotus Platform, extending his hand to unleash a series of Blood Flame Divine Thunders that collided with the colorful lights, the booming explosion resounding incessantly, blood and colorful light churning together, erupting everywhere.
Meanwhile, the Giant Wood God, leading Ji Nan to confront Red Corpse God Monarch and other four Great Demons, employed the Mysterious Skill Transformation, suppressing Sand God Child beneath the Heavenly Candle Peak.
He had been at Taishan for many years and always regarded Heavenly Candle Peak as perfectly connected to the earth's spiritual essence and wonders, infusing Shaoyang True Qi, refining it into a treasure.
It was not truly a treasure but more of an ambush. Last time, Sand God Child had used the Heavenly Secret Demon God Spell against Lu Yu, causing her some minor defeat, which she deeply resented. Returning, she studied countermeasures, and the Giant Wood God long planned how to handle Sand God Child.
He held Sand God Child in high regard and didn't intend to kill him but rather sought to capture and subdue him alive, intending to make him a servant in his command.
Thus, he deliberately employed the External Body Transformation method, and Sand God Child hadn't seen through it in time. Drawn away, the mountain was moved to suppress him beneath.
The Red Corpse God Monarch hurried to rescue, but Ji Nan had already established Falling God Square atop Heavenly Candle Peak and stood upon it himself, dueling with Red Corpse God Monarch, who could not defeat him quickly. Seeing this, Jiulei God unleashed a set of Nine Child Mother Thunder Pearls, trying to blast through all of Taishan!
The Giant Wood God wrapped the thunder pearls with the Nine Qi Divine Talisman and forcibly sent them to explode in outer space, where resounding explosions transformed into massive fireballs, resembling stellar explosions!
The Red Lotus Demon attacked from the side, distorting time and space, imprisoning it while blooming batches of Red Lotuses, where the Giant Wood God dispatched tens of thousands of giant woods, billions of thunder pearls wreaking havoc in the confined space, shattering it.
Subsequently, the Giant Wood God also deployed the External Body Transformation method.
A bell tolled, eastern pure energy surged, manifesting a green-robed youth holding a Fusang Divine Tree, with ten Sun Wheels on it, gently shaking them. The Sun Wheels rolled out, targeting the Red Corpse God Monarch still charging toward Heavenly Candle Peak to rescue Sand God Child.
Recognizing the danger, the Red Corpse God Monarch dared not be negligent, urgently shaking his body to reveal the Red Corpse Seven Evil Incarnations, each wielding a magical treasure and met the Sun Wheels, instant, catastrophic explosions occurred on Heavenly Mountain Top as a great meteor shower of fiery rain fell.
Another chime sounded, and western pure energy surged, revealing a green-robed man holding a Moon Laurel Divine Tree, with twelve moons on it. The hand flicked, and the Moon Wheels rolled out, spraying tens of thousands of silver beams, aiming directly at the Red Lotus Demon.
Hastily, the Red Lotus Demon sprouted three thousand Red Lotuses all around, each Lotus Platform hosting an incarnation. Each one launched a Demon Seal, erupting into silver glitters everywhere, blood light scattering.
Another sound chimed, and in the southern direction, more pure energy manifested, a green-robed elder walking forth holding a Five-Colored Parasol Tree. With a sweep, it emitted myriad star lights like a galaxy surging toward Jiulei God, nearly engulfing him.
Jiulei God hurriedly unleashed a series of Jiulei Yin Thunder, pushing five Flame Flying Forks to their extreme to break through.
The Giant Wood God unified his Nine Qi into one, then split one Qi into three, manifesting three avatars to grapple with the three great demons.
He temporarily entrusted the battlefield here to Ji Nan and his avatars, while quickly flying his true form to the main peak.
Three thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals couldn't handle one Deng Yin, making the Giant Wood God internally curse them as useless!
The Giant Wood God was worried they might not be able to handle Deng Yin, and repeatedly requested their true selves descend to the Lower Realm, yet they remained reluctant.
However, they managed to break the Blood Sea, which at least completed their initial goal.
He let out a long howl, ordering all the Heavenly Deities to form the "Grand Demon Subduing Formation"!
Upon hearing this name, all the Heavenly Deities' expressions changed drastically.
This formation could only be set up and activated with the presence of the Taiyi Savior Deity, typically one of the ten avatars of the Deity, appearing on the Seven-colored Lotus Platform with nine lions, a single lion's roar, the Deity appears, all demons subdued, all evils extinguished!
Not to mention that the Giant Wood God did not possess divine clergy; even a mage who had received the Green Emperor Talisman dared not use this formation.
The Giant Wood God knew what they were thinking and angrily said, "Your thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals arranged my father's formation, yet this Blood Demon caused chaos, already desecrating my father the Venerate's name! Only by quickly capturing it can we recover from this disgrace! I have already attained the Golden Immortal Position, enough to stand in for my father's Venerate Dharma Body! Do you dare not listen? If you hesitate further, don't blame me for being unkind!"
He spoke sternly, and with a wave of his hand, first placed the Nine Qi Divine Talisman into the sky, arranging it according to the nine palace positions, hanging above the gods' heads.
At this moment, Deng Yin continually attacked toward the center of the Seven-colored Lotus Platform, nearly taking the formation's core, while eighty-one Divine Kings were besieged by more than ten thousand Blood Buddhas and couldn't stop him.
The Giant Wood God roared angrily again, "If that Evil Demon takes over the formation's core, breaking the Immortal Array, my father will become the laughing stock of the Three Realms; can you bear this burden?"
The Taiyi Savior Deity, responding to cries of suffering, specialized in saving those deep in the filthiest, most terrifying, hardest places of suffering, but if the demon-suppressing array is broken by a Demon, it would truly be a joke.
At that time, it might even affect his chance to further advance and inherit the North Star position.
The gods dared not hesitate any longer, quickly changing formation and cooperating with the Giant Wood God to cast spells.
The Giant Wood God leapt up, disappearing in a flash of green light.
The next moment, his Hundred Feet Dharma Body appeared above the Seven-colored Lotus Platform, but it changed its Divine Qi, wearing a crown and robe, surrounded by nine-colored Divine Light, beneath sat a nine-headed lion, baring its fangs and claws, breathing fire from nine mouths, falling from the sky.
Simultaneously, the lotus pod of the colorful lotus platform shot forth streams of colored beams, interconnecting with the light flames spewed by the nine-headed lion, forming a whole.
With this "True God Descends," it felt as if a Divine Peak pressed down, bringing terrifying oppression.
Deng Yin felt that power was unshakeable, hastily divided into many Blood Shadows and fled in all directions, but was surrounded and burned by radiant flames from all sides, many Blood Shadows turning to fly ashes.
He then retracted the fifty thousand Blood Buddhas outside, simultaneously launching the Blood Buddha Seal towards the center, only to be entirely blocked by the colored light energy.
Thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals shouted in unison, releasing the Demon Vanquishing Divine Light with their Divine Artifacts, shattering all fifty thousand Blood Buddhas.
Subsequently, the "Heavenly Venerate's Incarnation," transformed by the Giant Wood God, descended directly, with the nine-headed lion using its claws to capture Deng Yin's remaining few Blood Shadow Avatars, pressing them onto the Lotus Platform!
The Heavenly Venerate's Incarnation was impersonated by the Giant Wood God, and the nine-headed lion was also transformed by his Nine Qi Divine Talisman; it could not compare to the Taiyi Venerate bringing the Nine Spirits Primordial Spirit personally. Deng Yin used Demon Light transformation, Blood Flames erupted, and in a flash entered the lotus pod.
"Scoundrel!" The Giant Wood God pointed with his hand, the inside of the lotus pod coagulated with colored light, like a Glazed Bowl, inside surged with seven-colored flames, burning intensely.
Deng Yin stood in the fire, a trinity of Blood Flames emerging above his head, bursting with a vast amount of Demon Light for protection.
The Giant Wood God angrily shouted: "You've become a turtle in a jar; do you still wish to survive?"
Deng Yin, trapped in a dire situation, nodded: "I indeed cannot escape, but you also cannot kill me."
The Giant Wood God spat green light, urging the seven-colored Demon Vanquishing Immortal Fire to burn fiercely, attempting to fully refine Deng Yin.
Deng Yin arrogantly shouted: "I have cultivated an Immortal Body, what can you do against me?"
The Giant Wood God knew he couldn't extinguish him in a short time and temporarily sealed him within the lotus pod, directing the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to deal with other demons.
The Red Lotus Demon and his group were confronted by the Giant Wood God's three incarnations but never gained the upper hand. Suddenly, the Stone God Princess's voice transmission reached their ears: "Ah Yin is already trapped in the Earth Array; things are futile, let's return to the Starry Sea and plan again."
The Red Lotus Demon and his kin still held doubts, but soon the Giant Wood God came with thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to attack. "Let's go!" The Red Lotus Demon realized today's attack was futile, and he was the first to respond to the Stone God Princess and retreat.
