Chapter 814: Chapter 812: Vajra Demon Suppression Heaven-Sealing Array

GULP!

The Golden Immortal cultivator swallowed hard. Every wound on his body twitched violently, and the agonizing pain distorted his face. The effects of the elixirs made his scalp go numb with terror. "Who exactly is this guy?" he wondered.

"Not going to talk? Tsk, you’ve got some backbone. Forget it then. I can just go over and see for myself anyway." Xu Yang grinned, making a show of forcing the elixir into the Golden Immortal’s mouth.

The Golden Immortal’s expression changed drastically. "Wait, I’ll talk!" he cried out. "I’ll tell you!"

He would rather die than endure such torture. Especially that so-called ’Spring Madness Demon Elixir’. The mere thought of a dignified Golden Immortal expert being reduced to a beast, madly seeking out animals to mate with, was enough to make one suffer a mental breakdown. Even in death, he would be periodically brought up and mocked by the cultivators of the entire Eastern Region. The Vajra Sect would be humiliated. Absolutely no human could bear it.

"Speak," Xu Yang said.

"The group is located in the middle of the White Tiger Area. Aside from Situ Ke, there are six cultivators at the Early Stage of Golden Immortal and three at the Middle Stage of Golden Immortal.

"There are other Golden Immortal cultivators nearby, but none dare to approach.

"There is a powerful White Tiger demon spirit slumbering in that place. It hasn’t awakened yet, and Situ Ke and the others are trying to find a way to deal with it.

"Additionally, right next to the demon spirit, there is a supreme treasure nurtured by the Starry Extreme Night—the White Tiger Slaughter Map. It acts like a domain, its power completely overflowing and solidifying into physical form to envelop the heavens and cover the earth. Even a Middle Stage of Golden Immortal expert would be extremely wary of it.

"Liou Xueyan is hiding inside the White Tiger Slaughter Map."

BAM!

With a single punch, Xu Yang ended the Golden Immortal cultivator’s life. He pulled off the man’s Storage Ring and took inventory of his spoils while pondering the wealth of information he had just received. "It shouldn’t be a lie," he mused.

However, their lineup was astonishing. Six Early Stage of Golden Immortal and three Middle Stage of Golden Immortal experts. All of them were from the Ancient Lotus Vajra Sect, meaning none of them were weak. For instance, there was a very obvious gap in strength between the two Early Stage of Golden Immortals he fought earlier and the one lying dead before him. To deal with this one, although he could rely on his profound foundation to exhaust him to death without using the Source of the Wind Division, it would undoubtedly waste a lot of time.

"The White Tiger Slaughter Map..." he thought. "Since Situ Ke is still there, he must have a way to deal with the demon spirit. Once the demon spirit is resolved, no matter how astonishing this Slaughter Map is, it won’t be able to stop his advance.

"Liou Xueyan..."

Xu Yang’s expression turned solemn. He quickly put away the Four Symbols Divine Stone and dashed toward the depths of the area.

There were quite a few good items inside the Storage Rings of the three Golden Immortal cultivators. They contained over thirty million third-tier Immortal Crystals and Immortal Jades combined. The total value of the other heavenly treasures was even higher than the amount of Immortal Crystals.

As he hurried along vigilantly, he gripped the Four Symbols Divine Stone in his hand. Astonishing demonic malevolence surged around him.

ROAR!

The roar of an ancient beast crashed directly into his mind. In a trance, Xu Yang seemed to see a demonized Black Tortoise, as massive as an ocean and resembling an ancient divine mountain; a demonized Cyan Dragon soaring into the clear blue sky, its surging demonic malevolence blotting out the sun and destroying the world; a demonized Vermilion Bird, blazingly berserk, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas; and a demonized White Tiger, its roar shaking heaven and earth, shattering the cosmos, and filling the wilderness with slaughter...

These terrifying visions wreaked havoc alongside an indescribably immense shockwave of demonic malevolence.

"Hmph!" Xu Yang scoffed coldly. His will was as firm as a boulder; he remained entirely unshakeable despite the impact of the demonic malevolence.

Dozens of breaths passed.

Streams of demonic malevolent qi dissipated and shot in all directions, and a surge of pure Four Symbols qi flooded into his body. It contained the heavy majesty of the Black Tortoise, the vibrant vitality of the Cyan Dragon, the blazing frenzy of the Vermilion Bird, and the slaughter of the White Tiger.

All the bones in his body trembled, his muscles and tendons resonated, and his immortal essence surged. For a moment, Xu Yang felt as if he were inside a massive furnace, undergoing thousands of temperings. The Four Symbols energy contained within the Four Symbols qi slowly brought about a faint transformation in him.

The Four Symbols qi was not weak in the slightest. However, his foundation was simply too profound. Even though the transformation was subtle, the sensation was incredibly clear. It was slightly more astonishing than the Purest Essence Qi smelted from tens of millions of third-tier Immortal Crystals.

A long while later.

Xu Yang shook his bones, letting out a whistling sound. He exhaled a streak of golden qi, and his overall aura improved slightly.

"What formidable Four Symbols qi," he thought. "If an expert were to refine and divide it, allowing a cultivator to swallow and absorb it starting from the True Immortal realm, their innate aptitude and bone structure would undergo an earth-shattering transformation."

From what Xu Yang could feel, it was no exaggeration to say that this Four Symbols qi was a treasure capable of elevating one’s innate aptitude. Even for the prodigies of major sects, it would provide immense benefits. Of course, it would be most effective for those at the True Immortal and Celestial Immortal levels.

Quite satisfied, Xu Yang gathered his focus and silently sped away.

Half an hour later.

He advanced while cautiously hiding within the dense demonic malevolent qi. Faint commotions echoed from ahead. The demonic malevolent qi here was even more terrifying.

Xu Yang did not use his immortal essence for protection; otherwise, he would be detected. At this moment, his Supreme Flawless Pure Body displayed an astonishing effect. The demonic malevolence invaded his body, violently corroding him. However, his Pure Body circulated, slowly forcing the demonic malevolent qi back out.

Although this process was rather painful, Xu Yang had long grown accustomed to it. Thus, the demonic malevolence posed no significant threat to him. During this process, he was practically blended with the demonic malevolent qi, making it extremely difficult for anyone to detect him.

As he drew closer to the source of the commotion, several blurry figures came into view. At the same time, an astonishing aura of demonic malevolence emanated from the other side.

Xu Yang cast a sidelong glance. Amidst the majestic, lingering demonic malevolence, a hideous and terrifying silhouette could vaguely be seen. He couldn’t make out exactly what it looked like, but the silhouette resembled a vicious ghost from hell, inspiring fear at a mere glance.

"That must be the slumbering demon spirit. What are these guys doing?" he wondered.

Startled and curious, Xu Yang looked at the figures and couldn’t help but inch closer. He saw a young man dressed in brocade robes standing in the clearing with his hands clasped behind his back. Beside him, seven or eight cultivators were surrounding the edge of the demon spirit’s area, seemingly outlining and setting something up. They moved with extreme caution, terrified of disturbing the slumbering demon spirit.

The White Tiger Slaughter Map was located right behind the demon spirit. Liou Xueyan was inside the White Tiger Slaughter Map. Situ Ke and his men could only go inside to search for Liou Xueyan if they dealt with the demon spirit first.

"That guy must be Situ Ke. His bearing is quite impressive," he mused. However, Xu Yang wasn’t surprised. After all, this was the number one prodigy of the Ancient Lotus Vajra Sect and a monstrous talent ranked in the top ten of the Dragon and Tiger List.

"I’ll get closer when they make their move," Xu Yang pondered secretly.

Naturally, it was impossible to strike right now. The opponent’s lineup was far too luxurious. With three Middle Stage of Golden Immortal experts present, Situ Ke’s own strength was not to be underestimated either.

At present, Xu Yang only had his Origin Annihilation technique to temporarily fend off a Middle Stage of Golden Immortal, and even then, there was a high probability that he wouldn’t be a match for one from the Ancient Lotus Vajra Sect. He could only stall for time. Those elixirs could merely act as the icing on the cake. He needed to wait for an opportunity.

"It would be best if the demon spirit awakened and a fierce battle broke out, inflicting more casualties on the Ancient Lotus Vajra Sect," he thought.

At a certain moment.

A Middle Stage of Golden Immortal cultivator walked up to Situ Ke and exchanged a few words in a low voice. Then, Situ Ke strode toward the demon spirit’s location. The nine Golden Immortal cultivators simultaneously scattered, surrounding the edge of the majestic demonic malevolence, poised to strike.

"They’re about to make their move. Is this an Array?" he thought, noticing that immortal runes seemed to be flickering beneath the feet of the nine cultivators.

"Do it. Ancient Lotus Immortal Seal, condense!" the nine men shouted in unison.

The immortal runes beneath their feet suddenly flared. Crystal clear as jade, bright yet archaic, they coalesced into the shapes of ancient lotuses.

"Vajra Subduing Demon!" they bellowed again.

The nine ancient lotuses instantly radiated soaring immortal light that reflected off each other and swiftly linked together, enveloping and covering the majestic demonic malevolence. A massive Vajra giant slowly materialized, surrounded by the ancient lotuses. It looked down upon the demonic malevolence with solemn and awe-inspiring dignity.

The sight left Xu Yang with a racing heart and his hair standing on end.

"Vajra Demon Suppression Heaven-Sealing Array, activate!"
