Chapter 270 Expansion
With the power of humanity and the Gangsha system, the Five-Colored Human Race is now no weaker than the Five Royal Clans in terms of cultivation. Although Hao Ying and others have only been born for a thousand years, their cultivation over those thousand years is only one step away from Golden Immortals. They each lead the human army and kill the enemies in front of them.
"Since it is a calamity, then all living beings in the primordial world should participate."
Above the Five-Colored Glazed Heavenly Pool, the strange and indescribable power of the Void silently merged into the calamity energy of the primordial world.
The Void represents destruction and the end. The moment this wisp of Void power merged into the primordial world, the calamity that originally only affected the five royal families and many subordinate races instantly increased several times.
Countless powerful gods and demons who had retreated to secluded mountain gates stared in horror at the ever-emerging aura of calamity emanating from their bodies, their faces turning deathly pale.
In the vast and primordial world, all living beings, gods, and demons were forcibly dragged into the great calamity stirred up by the power of the Void. No matter who they were or how high or low their cultivation level was, they all had to go through the calamity in order to escape their fate.
The tightly closed gates of the four top-tier Daoist lineages—Gods, Immortals, Buddhas, and Demons—opened instantly. Countless tribal armies, their bodies filled with the aura of calamity, surged into the gates of the four lineages, engaging in fierce battle with the disciples and followers of the four lineages.
The three Heavenly Venerables of Xuanmen, Taishang, Yuanshi, and Lingbao, looked grim as they watched the countless large clan armies sweeping in from outside Kunlun Mountain. Their auras surged, and they dared not hesitate for a moment. Each of them controlled their own innate treasures and led the Xuanmen disciples to resist the madness of the masses in the midst of the great calamity.
Taishang, Yuanshi, and Lingbao are already Daluo Daojun, but even Daluo Daojun may perish when facing a great calamity that encompasses heaven and earth.
The number of Xuanmen disciples was far less than the number of the surrounding large clan armies that were engaged in slaughter. If the three of them did not take action, then Xuanmen might really be destroyed in this great calamity and disappear from the primordial world.
As the Tai Chi diagram unfolded, the surging Yin and Yang energies transformed into a torrent that engulfed heaven and earth, pushing back the army of the Fuzhu clan, which had been driving the flood to engulf the world and stirring up countless turbulent waves, by 100,000 miles.
The Tai Chi diagram continued to expand in the void, with rings of Yin and Yang energies intertwining to form countless black and white halos, dragging all the cultivators and demons who were sinking into the calamity into the Yin and Yang energies.
Tai Shang sat cross-legged on the Taiji diagram, his eyes swirling with black and white light. The Taiji diagram beneath him had grown to the size of a canopy. With each rotation of the yin and yang fish, the world would undergo a change of light and darkness. Countless living beings were slain by the Taiji diagram, and traces of blood gradually appeared in Tai Shang's clear eyes.
The more killings occur, the more severe the calamity and corruption will be on Taishang. Once the number of living beings killed reaches a certain level, Taishang will inevitably be dragged into the great calamity and become the blade of Heaven's will.
However, if these people are not killed, the gates of Kunlun Mountain will be breached, and the Xuanmen sect will perish. This is something that Taishang absolutely cannot allow. The bloodlust in his eyes is growing more and more intense. Taishang has already realized that one-tenth of his primordial spirit has been corrupted by the calamity energy. Once the calamity energy has eroded more than half of his body, he fears that he may be able to transform the world.
"Brother, please take a moment to recuperate. I'll take care of things here for now."
A majestic voice rang out, and a chaotic banner, carrying five-colored radiance, was flung towards the countless military formations surrounding Kunlun Mountain. Pure white and clear, it was like a divine axe striking down.
The sky and the earth shattered in that instant, and wherever the invisible, terrifying power passed, everything between heaven and earth was forcibly crushed and erased.
The Pangu Banner continued to wave, and streaks of heaven-opening axe energy slashed down one after another, the clear light of the sky annihilating all the great clans' armies surrounding Kunlun Mountain.
In terms of destructive power, the Pangu Banner is among the most powerful innate treasures in the primordial world. It can create heaven and earth and destroy all laws. Even a Great Luo Dao Lord cannot withstand its power, let alone these spirits and monsters whose highest cultivation level is only Taiyi.
The heavens and earth roared as the Pangu Banner transformed into streaks of light that shattered vast military formations. The Supreme Being covered Kunlun Mountain with the Taiji Diagram, guarding the earth's dragon vein beneath the mountain.
Lingbao held the divine sword, his face solemn. The Qingping Sword, which looked like it was carved from jade, slashed at the void. Without a sound, large sections of the sky collapsed, and most of the calamity energy sweeping towards Kunlun Mountain was destroyed.
With a single sword strike, Lingbao's face turned pale. This sword strike had refined all of his essence, energy, and spirit, capable of cleaving open the gaps in the Heavenly Dao and severing all tangible and intangible things.
This was the first time Lingbao had used his Intercepting Sword technique to attempt to sever the great calamity. Lingbao's plan was to combine his own power with the immense power of the Heaven-Intercepting Sword, a supreme innate treasure, to completely sever the connection between the Xuanmen and this great calamity of all races.
The bad news was that Lingbao failed. With his current level of cultivation, he was not yet able to fully analyze the essence of the calamity energy and sever the calamity.
The good news is that Lingbao has indeed grasped some of the Calamity Qi, and his Intercepting Sword can sever some of the Calamity Qi that is entangled in the Xuanmen's fortune, thus weakening the calamities that are descending upon the Xuanmen.
The Taiji Diagram protected Kunlun Mountain, the Pangu Banner slaughtered the armies of powerful clans, and the Heaven-Slaying Sword weakened the calamity of the Xuanmen. With the combined efforts of Taishang, Yuanshi, and Lingbao, the Xuanmen was able to maintain a certain degree of stability during the great calamity.
Even though Taishang, Yuanshi, and Lingbao are all Great Luo Daojun, they cannot control innate treasures for extended periods of time.
As time goes by, the strength of the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit of Taishang, Yuanshi, and Lingbao is gradually decreasing. If the three of them cannot hold out until the end of the great calamity, then Kunlun Mountain still has the possibility of being breached.
In the West, at the foot of the majestic Mount Sumeru, Shakyamuni sits cross-legged on a thousand-petaled golden lotus, with three thousand Buddhas, countless Pure Lands, and immeasurable sentient beings manifesting behind him.
The endless incense and prayers transformed into a golden wheel of merit, hanging high behind Shakyamuni's head. The colossal golden Buddha towered atop Mount Sumeru, and the Pure Land of the Ten Directions Buddhas was established around Shakyamuni, blocking all the hundreds of large-scale military formations outside Mount Sumeru.
Countless supernatural powers and malevolent energies transformed into a torrent that roared and exploded. Billions of living beings, gods, and demons unleashed their supernatural powers, shattering layer upon layer of Buddhist pure lands. Shakyamuni's golden body trembled, and a trace of Buddha's blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
In Buddhism, there is only one Great Luo Dao Lord, Shakyamuni, and only one innate supreme treasure, Mount Sumeru. Even with the great power of three thousand Buddhas and the incense offerings of countless beings, Shakyamuni could only manifest the Pure Land of the Ten Directions Buddha Kingdom for barely defense. It was impossible for him to launch an attack.
Every instant, countless supernatural powers bombarded the Buddhist Pure Land, shattering lotuses, collapsing Bodhi trees, defiling the precious pond, and dissolving its light.
