Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1566 725: The Coming of Reincarnation

The Six Souls Banner was once a magical treasure used to scheme against the Three Pure Ones, and at that time, it was indeed extremely formidable.

This treasure encompasses the Outer Dao, specifically targeting the Divine Soul. Even a Daluo Golden Immortal could be shaken to death by it, marking their end.

Over the passage of time, after undergoing over three hundred thousand years of sacrificial refinement, its power remains extraordinary, considered one of the strongest magical treasures in the world.

If Chen Shi hadn't incorporated the Dark Sea Outer Dao into the Primordial Talisman, Emperor Houtu would certainly not have been able to easily block this treasure.

Emperor Anqi and others gazed at this Emperor Earth God. Just now, they had only engaged with the six incarnations of the Emperor Earth God's Six Paths of Reincarnation and nearly lost, forcing them to reluctantly use the Six Souls Banner, yet unexpectedly to no effect.

Guang Chengzi steeled his heart, bowed low, and said, "Please, the Immortal Slaying Sword!"

As soon as he bowed, a blood-streaked rift opened in the sky behind him. Beyond the bloodstreak stood a stone gate with a suspended sword hanging inside, its tip pointing downward.

The sword's body was entirely black, entwined with cyan lotus patterns, radiating a chilling evil energy.

Outside this stone gate, Heaven and Earth were torn apart by Sword Qi. Earth, water, wind, and fire surged like boiling water, transforming the entire heavens and earth into streams of chaotic energy revolving around the stone gate.

This sword was named Immortal Slaying, refined by the Tongtian Saint. After the Battle of Fashang, the Jie Sect was defeated, and the Immortal Slaying Sword fell into Guang Chengzi's hands.

The power of the Immortal Slaying Sword is immense, its evil energy overwhelming. It is one of the strongest magical treasures refined by the Tongtian Saint. It cannot be stored in realms like the Dao Realm or offered in worship; thus, Guang Chengzi could only find an uninhabited world to hang the treasure there.

However, this treasure was too powerful. Over time, the entire world was obliterated, turning into chaotic energy.

The emergence of this object posed an even greater threat to the Emperor Houtu than the Six Souls Banner. But fortunately, the sword's power was too immense, and Guang Chengzi did not dare to summon it directly. He only opened a blood-streaked fissure and urged the Sword Qi to slash toward the Emperor Houtu.

Just as the Emperor Houtu was about to dodge the Sword Qi, Ding Guang Buddha shook the Six Souls Banner, causing a momentary distraction and interfering with her thoughts.

By the time she reacted, the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi was already upon her.

The Emperor Earth God had no time to evade. The ox's horn from the Beast Path under Houtu stepped forward, blocking the sword strike, but even so, one arm was severed by the Sword Qi.

At the same time, Lankao Immortal Monarch, Emperor Anqi, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva attacked from three other directions!

Lankao Immortal Monarch raised the Big Axe, its light spinning like a wheel, whistling and rotating with immense weight.

Lankao Immortal Monarch occasionally grabbed the Big Axe and sometimes leapt onto the axe wheel, moving swiftly like lightning. His Xuanhuang Daoist Skills allowed him to maneuver freely above the Xuanhuang Sea, emerging and vanishing amidst the waves, closing in for melee combat as Emperor Houtu was preoccupied with the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi.

Emperor Anqi also charged forward, his Immortal Sword blossoming like snowflakes, multiplying explosively, quickly covering the sky with snow.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva swung the bent Nine Ringed Staff, each strike endowed with the Dao Power of nine great worlds, the force unparalleled.

Ding Guang Buddha's true body also committed to the battle, while his Primordial Spirit stood at a distance, continuously shaking the Six Souls Banner towards Emperor Houtu.

Guang Chengzi also entered the battlefield, occasionally activating the Immortal Slaying Sword. Within the stone gate, the Immortal Slaying Sword trembled, releasing streaks of black Sword Qi.

The Emperor Earth God faced five opponents simultaneously, needing to guard against the Six Souls Banner and contend with the Immortal Slaying Sword, struggling to manage.

His surroundings swirled with Six Paths: Heavenly Person, Shura, Human, Hungry Ghost, Beast, and Hell, spinning incessantly. Within each path of reincarnation was a Houtu incarnation, known as the Six Paths Houtu.

The Six Paths Houtu resisted Guang Chengzi, Emperor Anqi, and others, initially holding their own. But the Immortal Slaying Sword and Six Souls Banner were truly formidable. In a brief moment, Beast, Hell, Heavenly Person, and Shura incarnations of Houtu each suffered injuries!

Guang Chengzi and others were invigorated: "Luckily, we have two great treasures. Otherwise, we would certainly make a misstep and be mocked by the Immortal Court!"

The Emperor Earth God's True Body struck with a palm, sending the revolving giant axe flying, flipping a hand to meet the Heavenly Overturning Seal, imprinting a palm mark upon it.

Guang Chengzi was alarmed: "Her physical strength surpasses ours!"

Seeing the True Body of the Emperor Earth God approaching Lankao Immortal Monarch with intent to kill him with a seal, Guang Chengzi hurriedly urged the Immortal Slaying Sword, sending a Sword Qi to force the Emperor Earth God to defend.

Their cooperation gradually became closer, with fewer mistakes, yet the Six Paths Houtu were either injured or crippled. The five Daluo Golden Immortals intended to push harder, to eliminate the Six Paths Houtu before slaying the Emperor Earth God. Suddenly, they saw the Six Paths of Reincarnation humming and rotating: the Heavenly Person Path turned into the Hell Path, the Shura Path into the Hungry Ghost Path, and the Human Path into the Beast Path!

In the blink of an eye, the Six Paths of Reincarnation cycled through once, with the previously injured Six Paths Houtu undergoing reincarnation, each changing appearance, completely healed, and spirited, charging out from the reincarnation.

The five Daluo Golden Immortals each felt a sinking in their hearts.

"Even with the Immortal Slaying Sword and Six Souls Banner, we cannot kill the Emperor Earth God. Now, the only hope is Feng Huixue."

Feng Huixue was the supreme Immortal Emperor who主动 requested to join in the action to kill Houtu this time.

"She can break the Daoist field of the Emperor Earth God," said the Immortal Emperor.

With the cultivation and perspective of Guang Chengzi, Ding Guang Buddha and others, they did not regard Feng Huixue highly. After all, she was just a small Golden Immortal, not even a Taiyi, unfit to intervene in this battle.

But now, they could only pin their hopes on Feng Huixue.

Within the Thick Virtue and Bright Heaven Palace, Feng Huixue appeared calm, seeing the Emperor Earth God, Guang Chengzi, and others off, she immediately headed toward the Ruzhu Dao Hua Palace.

Soon, she arrived at the Dao Hua Palace.

The Ruzhu Dao Hua Palace was the place to subdue demons established by all gods when opening the Earth Immortal Realm.
