Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 189 - 133: Yang God_2

Chapter 189: Chapter 133: Yang God_2

Translator: 549690339

What is the Unity of Heaven and Man, and what is this bodily Daoist technique?

As the name implies, it is the fusion of the spirit with heaven and earth, practicing Taoism through the body.

Through this, Xu Yang’s Yang God transformed directly into thunder and lightning.

He is both the body of the Yang God and the body of thunder and lightning!

The thunder and lightning is him; he is the thunder and lightning.

This is the Unity of Heaven and Man, practicing Taoism through the body.

The might of the Daoist technique increased manifold; compared to The way of the True Man, it was a transformation of a different quality.

Flee, flee, flee!

The Chu Family Wolf was fleeing for its life.

The speed of the Heavenly Wolf had reached its limit.

Yet, no matter how fast the Heavenly Wolf ran, it was useless before the thunder and lightning.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

The thunder and lightning struck like a whip, hitting the Heavenly Wolf’s flank repeatedly.

“Bang!!!”

With a flash of lightning and sparks flying everywhere, the shadow of the Heavenly Wolf was cut in half, revealing Chu Gonghou’s original shape and body—with a huge burn wound stretching across his waist, its insides charred to blackened bones and organs.

The power of a single strike was terrifying indeed!

There’s a saying, “Iron head, steel bones, tofu waist!”

Although Chu Gonghou was not an ordinary demon, his waist was a significant vulnerability.

Now severely injured, under the ravages of the thunderous assault, even the Demon Emperor could not hold on, and his vast body fell from the sky.

“Boom!!”

The Demon Wolf crashed into the earth, its body, while not as massive as the Blood Heaven Dragon that had previously shattered the thunderous purgatory and the iron wall siege, or Monarch Xunlong and the Shocking Thunder Jiao with their hundred-meter bodies, was still over thirty meters long.

Truly immense.

However, the moment this large being fell to the ground, silver light poured down from all directions.

It was the sharp, armor-piercing, crossbow bolts cutting through the air.

Each and every bolt, about a meter long and engraved with runes, flew with a roar, piercing the body of the Demon Wolf, snuffing out its last signs of life.

Demon-breaking Arrows!

“Good!”

“Hit!”

“Fire another and nail it in the head!”

From all around, crossbows were readied, and the disciples of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Institute operated the newest achievement of their research, the war magic artifact, engaging in the battle.

In the vault of heaven, seeing that Chu Gonghou had indeed died, Xu Yang did not linger any further, and his body turned into a ray of lightning, speeding away.

Elsewhere…

Flee, flee, flee!

In the opposite direction, the Shocking Thunder Jiao was fleeing for its life, not daring to glance backward for a moment to check the situation of the battlefield and the fate of Chu Gonghou.

Sometimes, running faster than your teammate is not a good thing, it can make you an easier target.

And just like that, Chu Gonghou had stepped on a landmine.

Although his teammate had stepped on a landmine, the Shocking Thunder Jiao still dared not relax. Desperately extracting mana, it exerted its escape technique, already having fled a thousand miles away.

I should be safe now, right?

Far from North City, a thousand miles away, the Shocking Thunder Jiao finally felt slightly relieved.

But…

“Boom!”

Lightning flashed, thunder roared, and winds disturbed the clouds.

A bolt of lightning came from the sky and, with a loud bang, landed in front, revealing the figure of a Taoist man.

“Shi Jian?”

“Yang God?”

“You…!!!”

Seeing Xu Yang standing in his way, the Shocking Thunder Jiao clenched its teeth and eventually lowered its head, saying, “The divine skills of the Spell King are earth-shattering, I am thoroughly convinced, willing to offer the Dragon Ball, and from now on, I will bow before the Spell King, ready to go through fire and water, refusing nothing!”

These were words of submission.

It was unexpected indeed.

But thinking about it, it also made sense.

What do you do when you can’t win?

If you don’t want to die, you have to surrender!

The Shocking Thunder Jiao considered itself a special kind and, with a body of a thunderous Jiao serpent, matched the opponent’s practice well. Now willing to bow and become his mount, or even a spirit beast, it was reasonable to expect the other party to accept…

“Evil demon techniques will never achieve the Dao!”

Rumbles of thunder filled the sky, coming forth with no intention of accepting surrender.

“You… fine, fine, fine, you refuse the toast only to drink the forfeit, do you really think you’re the only ones, you pack of Taoists, who can wield the Thunder Series?”

“If you cannot live today, then die, perish together with your treasures, turn to ash and vanish into smoke!”

Seeing no path to life given by the other side, Shocking Thunder Jiao’s demon nature flared up. With a roar, it spat out the Dragon Ball amidst the wild blasts of thunder and blinding flashes of electricity, ready to expend all of its Yuan Skill in a desperate, life-or-death struggle, determined to go down with its enemy.

However…

“Child’s play, like bringing an axe to the doors of a master carpenter!”

“The five thunders evolve to their extreme, all laws return to the origin!”

Xu Yang waved his hands, and countless bolts of thunder moved at his will, manifesting in the mighty form of the Five Elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Dazzling thunderous light surged like a flood, instantly engulfing the Dragon Ball.

“You…!!!”

The color drained from Shocking Thunder Jiao’s face as it felt the connection to its Dragon Ball rapidly fading, disappearing in the middle, losing its sensation to the internal pill in the blink of an eye.

This filled Shocking Thunder Jiao with immense fear and shock.

This Dragon Ball was its internal pill, the essence of its life and the foundation of its cultivation. Now that the connection was lost, how could it not be startled? How could it not be frightened?

In a state of panic, Shocking Thunder Jiao watched as the thunderous tide retreated, wrapping around the Dragon Ball, which Xu Yang swept into his robe with a wave of his hand.

Thunder Jiao?

Dragon Ball?

Perishing together with your treasures, turning to ash and vanishing into smoke?

To an ordinary True Monarch, it might pose some threat.

But he was no ordinary True Monarch; he was the great patriarch of the Thunder Series, further aided by the formidable characteristic of being the “Thunder Lightning Mana King.”

Before him, to resort to thunder was nothing but bringing an axe to the doors of a master carpenter, a self-seeking path to death.

By directly casting “The five thunders evolve to their extreme,” he wrested control of the Dragon Ball from its wielder.

The art of “The five thunders evolve to their extreme,” recorded in the Jade Shu Treasure Scripture, was one of the thunder spells that could use the power of the five thunders to neutralize the abilities of myriad laws, even transforming the tribulations of Heaven and Earth, the three disasters and the five hardships—it was famous as a thunder spell that could turn calamities astray.

If Heaven and Earth Tribulation Thunder, the three disasters, and the five hardships could be neutralized,

Then surely a mere Dragon Ball was no exception; it was directly stripped of its control.

“Return my Dragon Ball!”

Shocking Thunder Jiao snapped back to reality and let out a wild roar, ready to fight with all its might.

But Xu Yang simply ignored it, his expression cold. He waved his sleeve outward.

Instantly, thunder rumbled through the sky, mercilessly lashing upon the body of Thunder Jiao.

Deprived of its internal pill, with its mana and Taoist cultivation rapidly dissipating, how could Shocking Thunder Jiao withstand such thunderous onslaught? It wailed tragically and plummeted from the sky.

“Boom!!!”

A thunderous roar echoed as the thunderous strike hit the ground, tearing a deep ravine in the forest.

With a sweep of his sleeve, Xu Yang turned the thunderous force once again, plowing through the forest and gathering up the body of Thunder Jiao, then transformed into a streak of light and departed.

The great battle thus came to an end.

But there were still many loose ends to tie up.

Such as the tens of thousands of demon corpses on the battlefield.

The main force of the Nine Courtyards’ disciples emerged, with sword formations, spell formations, battle formations, and talisman formations joining forces with the Mingxiao Taoists and the Yin Mountain troops, and with the power of the Luotian Dajiao ritual, they finally slaughtered the tens of thousands of demons. Except for a few that slipped through, the rest were utterly destroyed.

Among those tens of thousands of demons were four Demon Emperors, several hundred Demon Kings, and thousands of Demon Generals. The rest, large and small, summed up to tens of thousands in total.

Were this the real world, using the cultivation system, it would equate to four Golden Core stage Demon Emperors, several hundred Foundation Establishment Demon Generals, and tens of thousands of Qi Cultivation level lesser demons.

So many demon beasts, their corpses alone as materials—were of tremendous value.

Not to mention these demons had their own establishments and fortunes, like Chu Gonghou of the Chu Family Wolf ancestry, who had an ancient magical treasure, the Divine Ferry Treasure Boat.

While the other demons might not compare to Chu Gonghou, they still possessed considerable wealth. Spoils of war poured into the storerooms, not only completely making up for the expenses of organizing the Luotian Dajiao but also earning a hefty profit.

Such were the spoils of war; as long as one could win, the return on investment post-battle was well worth the initial expenditure.

Xu Yang acted according to the law, streaking through the sky with his thunderous energy, flashing back.

The battle had ended, and within the battlefield, the Nine Courtyards’ disciples, along with the logistical staff, were clearing up.

Xu Yang said little else as he gathered up the bodies of Chu Gonghou, Monarch Xunlong, Sword Demon Ape—the three Demon Emperors—and the remnants of the True Dragon’s Molt and the Divine Ferry Treasure Boat, before soaring away with the thunder, returning to his Taoist place.

At Mount Jilei, Mingxiao Taoist Temple.

Above the Nine Ceremony High Altar, a bolt of thunder descended, entering the body of the Mage.

With the Yang God entering the orifice, Xu Yang opened his eyes, looking at the spoils of war in the Storage Bag, his expression unchanged. He put away his magical sword, descended from the Mana Altar, then without having his disciples tidy up, he pulled up the five-colored cloth again, covering the sky and concealing the land, severing the connection between heaven and earth.

The Luotian Dajiao required forty-nine days of ritual to be deemed complete and meritorious.

Now it was only day thirty-three. Although the demons had been eradicated, Xu Yang had no intention of halting the sacrifice just yet.

The Luotian Dajiao had infinite uses: not only could it fortify mana and aid in growing Taoist cultivation, suppress demons in all directions, it also brought blessings to avert disasters, with sweet rain relieving drought, retreating water to extinguish floods. Whether it be slaying demons, Taoist cultivation, or even agriculture, animal husbandry, all could greatly benefit from it.

Therefore, Xu Yang decided to complete this Luotian Dajiao ceremony.

Besides, there was one more matter, a point of doubt, which he needed to clarify using the power of the Luotian Dajiao to dissipate the mist and ascertain the truth.

So…

Xu Yang swept his dust-brush, causing clouds and mists to rise. Mounting his Cultivator’s law body, he headed straight into the heavens.
