Chapter 416
The True Form of Yama
Within the grand formation, the battle had reached its most intense moment.
With the addition of Monkey King and Red Thread, the situation is no longer entirely one-sided. Monkey King, in particular, is an earth immortal who has survived five heavenly tribulations and possesses an indestructible body born of nature. He cultivates the way of battle and is incredibly powerful.
Monkey King completely replaced Yu Zhensheng as the main attacker, his staff flashing like a thousand shadows, each blow heavier than the last, smashing until the clouds and sky scattered and the earth shook.
The way of battle is to grow stronger with each fight.
After following Zhang Sanfeng in cultivation for several years, Hongxian actually survived her first tribulation, greatly improving her cultivation level. She even mastered the supernatural power of having three heads and six arms, making her extremely powerful in battle.
She seemed to be quite favored by Zhang Sanfeng, and now she had a pair of wind-fire wheels under her feet, making her as fast as lightning. In addition, with the dragon-spitting fire spear and three heads and six arms, she truly resembled Nezha descended to earth.
Thus, the four experts who had transcended tribulation used the Star Array to besiege Yama, fighting until the sky darkened and sand and stones flew everywhere. If it weren't for the array separating them, the entire Xunyang City would probably have been razed to the ground.
Although the attack was fierce, Yan Jun's cultivation was too high. He was able to hold on under such an attack and did not show any signs of defeat.
Every move He made was full of great supernatural powers. He would manifest a magic mirror that emitted the mysterious light of the nine netherworlds, or he would use the Ten Palaces Seal to project the eighteen levels of hell onto the human world. He even used the Samsara Technique, which almost sent Yu Zhensheng into the cycle of reincarnation.
Fortunately, the Red Thread's Wind and Fire Wheels were fast enough to save the master at the last second.
With each move back and forth, the contest of skills seemed to have reached a stalemate for a time.
Yu Zhensheng and Yu Tianheng were suddenly startled, as if they had sensed something, and their eyes showed excitement.
The shackles that had imprisoned the Yin Puppet Master for nearly a thousand years... are broken!
Zhou Sheng actually did it!
Yu Tianheng laughed heartily, his voice filled with joy. Although he had become a blood-soaked figure, his spirit and energy were surprisingly good, and his eyes shone like stars.
"That Zhou Sheng kid is really something, he said he could do it and he really did it!"
Yu Zhensheng's eyes were red-rimmed, as if he were speaking to Yu Tianheng, or perhaps to his former fellow apprentices from the Zhao family troupe.
"My apprentice... accomplished what we couldn't do before..."
A look of pride appeared in his eyes, as if he had finally released a long-suppressed anger; his gaze was intense and he could hardly contain himself.
For a moment, even the wounds on my body seemed to stop hurting.
Hongxian immediately raised her little face and proudly said, "Boss is the most amazing!"
Monkey King glanced at her and teased, "Little one, do you know what they're talking about?"
"I don't know, but my boss is the most powerful person in the world!"
As the most devoted follower of her boss, she didn't care what happened. Even if her boss farted, it would be the smelliest thing in the world!
Compared to them, Yama's face became unusually gloomy.
That kid can actually change the rules of the underworld?
We absolutely cannot delay any longer!
He realized that he had greatly underestimated the young man who performed the yin opera; compared to him, Yu Zhensheng seemed insignificant.
If Yu Zhensheng, who sang "Exploring Yin Mountain" back then, only made Him somewhat wary, then Zhou Sheng now undoubtedly makes Him feel a huge threat.
The other party has only removed the rules related to the underhanded tactics, but there's no guarantee they won't touch other rules next...
With a determined heart, Yama finally tore off the cloak of the King of the Underworld, unleashing a torrent of demonic energy and resentment, revealing his true form that had been hidden for hundreds of years.
It was a gigantic old turtle, its head protruding out like a solitary peak cast from black iron breaking through the raging waves. The shell on its head was cracked with nine palaces of demonic patterns, and its eyes were like two dark moons, reflecting the raging flames of vengeance.
Its body was like a mountain, its limbs supported the sky, and its raised head swallowed up the stars, causing the world to lose its color and the sun and moon to lose their light.
Old Man Niushan coughed up blood, and the central array flag in his hand suddenly exploded, shattering all the remaining array flags. He let out a scream, and with a bang, he turned into a blood mist. Fortunately, the "Great Transformation Avatar Technique" he cultivated was miraculous enough that a new Old Man Niushan appeared a moment later, though his eyes still showed lingering fear.
Monkey King stared at the giant tortoise, then suddenly paused, his fiery eyes flashing slightly as if he felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
After he survived his fifth tribulation and reached the level of Earth Immortal, he began to awaken some memories of his past life. Could this old tortoise be an acquaintance from his past life?
"Heh heh, no wonder you're so tough, you're an old turtle! Hey, turtle, don't run away, take another hit from my old Sun!"
Without any hesitation, he raised his staff and struck, activating his Battle Divine Power. His whole body radiated golden light, and he manifested the Dharma Heaven and Earth Form, like a chaotic demonic ape clad in armor, striking down mountains and rivers with his staff and kicking across the four seas and eight wastelands.
But now that the great formation was no longer there to help, and Yama had revealed his true form regardless of everything, the blow, though solid, only made the giant tortoise sway slightly and crack a gap in its shell, and then it had no further effect.
boom! boom! boom!
The 108 thunder and fire orbs on the red thread struck the tortoise without causing a ripple, only splashing some sparks, leaving not even a white spot. The giant tortoise seemed not to even sense the attack.
Only Monkey King's blow caused him a slight pain.
"You arrogant little horseman, don't be so cocky! I'll come back and eat your monkey brains after I've rectified the underworld!"
The giant tortoise let out a cry that shook the universe, tinged with resentment. It glared hatefully at the monkey before turning away and disappearing in an instant.
The moment the words "弼马温" (Bì Mǎ Wēn) were uttered, a nameless fire suddenly ignited in Monkey King's heart. He wanted to give chase, but was desperately stopped by the Old Man of Ox Mountain.
"Don't pursue a desperate enemy! Don't pursue a desperate enemy!"
Old Man Niushan cautioned, "You've only just survived your fifth tribulation; you're still quite a bit weaker than that turtle demon. Don't be impulsive!"
With everyone's encouragement, Monkey King gradually calmed down and explained how he had felt.
"Tell me, what kind of creature is this old turtle? It seems... to know me, Old Sun?"
Old Man Niushan calculated with his fingers and sighed, "The grudges of the past life are now debts of this life. This old turtle is willing to reveal its true form. It seems that the commotion in the underworld has become quite big. I can only hope that my junior brother... can get out of trouble soon."
He has done everything he could, managing to drag Yama out until now. The rest is up to his junior brother.
He couldn't fathom or understand his junior brother, but he believed that his magical junior brother always had a way to turn misfortune into good fortune.
……
The underworld, the palace of Yama.
After Zhou Sheng erased the rule that had imprisoned the Yin Opera Master for nearly a thousand years, he did not immediately leave, but instead turned his attention to the Heavenly Book.
"Danshan, it's getting late, let's go!"
Yao Taifeng secretly urged him, but Zhou Sheng shook his head.
"Hongying, you take these Yin Opera practitioners away first, and leave the rest to me."
He knew it wasn't time to leave yet, because according to the Luoshu's calculations, while escaping now would ensure his safety, the enraged Yama King would unleash a furious revenge.
Countless people will die because of this, including his master Yu Zhensheng and his highly respected senior Yu Tianheng.
Even the incense temple of Yaotai Feng will be smashed.
So he had to stay and do something else, like...
Let me add one more rule. (End of Chapter)
