Chapter 1757 - 904: What Are You Waiting For?

[Glorious and bright, the sun rises in the east... those who encounter the curse are destroyed, those who encounter the curse perish...]

The Seven Saints opened their mouths to chant, countless true words filled their consciousness, resonating through the soul. After a brief gathering of strength, the White Emperor Demon Master used the seal once more, invoking the curse prohibition.

Blood light flowed over the great seal, resembling mountain ridges, crashing down upon Ji Jue.

Disaster emerged.

Here, the calamity of war descended!

In the instant of collision, Ji Jue's body seemed to be slashed by countless blades, revealing hundreds of cracks, nearly dismembered entirely.

Yet the disaster appeared so irrational, utterly irrefutable, futile to resist.

Within the soul, Chun Jun suddenly quaked, eliminating the noise of countless true words, he once again heard the deepest, most crucial true word within the Seven Saints' praises, the main axis forming the foundation of the entire Circle Realm.

The entire Circle Realm of the [Seven Saints Universal Prohibition Mantra] is established upon this!

[Do no evil, perform all good]!

As if!

If this were truly the case, there must be ghosts!

Even if this true word sounds solemn and merciful, as if advising goodness and prohibiting evil, in reality, it has long been twisted beyond recognition, a mere step away from mutation.

The entire Circle Realm disregards morality, actions, intentions, pays no heed to any distinction. Its essence and standard, there's only one, 'those kind to me are good, those who harm me are evil'!

Anything potentially harmful to Xu Lingyi would be erased, negated, vanishing utterly. Anything beneficial to Xu Lingyi could directly transform into reality.

Manifesting externally, is that any attack Ji Jue launches at him may be annulled by the Circle Realm, becoming nonexistent.

You've got it all figured out!

The key lies not even here, but——the core issue is, firstly, this true word isn't Xu Family's, not even belonging to the Federation's legacy of Ascension!

Rather, it's the past ascetic monks' principles and conduct...

This lineage, most famous for the fallen Wulou Temple, now consorting with the Vortex and the Great Evil Absolute Abyss.

Seven Saints Universal Prohibition Mantra?

More like the Seven Buddhas Universal Prohibition Mantra!

"Inherited mixed-breed learns from bald monks? Embarrassing!"

Ji Jue could hold back no longer, chuckling aloud, his voice resonating sea and sky, taunting with contempt: "No wonder you were expelled, your life's doomed this way."

"Presumptuous!!!"

Xu Lingyi erupted in fury, three pairs of Blood Eyes suddenly growing on the White Emperor Demon Master's face, the azure flame phosphorus light on the great seal surged, waves of oscillations almost uncontrollable by his hands.

Yet immediately after, two more arms extended from his body, clutching the seal tightly.

In a fury, pouring all his might, he went rampant, forgot feelings, forsook life, invested his essence, even offered a part of his soul to the White Emperor Demon Master, within the endless true words, forming a brand new Forbidden Technique against Ji Jue!

——[Prohibition of All Spiritual Mechanism Changes]!

The great seal descended into the void, ripples spreading, instantly everything between sea and sky rapidly fluctuated, the Three Phases Flow became sluggish, difficult to establish.

Everything related to Spiritual Change seemed to have a huge lock fall upon it, no longer permitted to establish and operate.

Sever all changes and power brought by Alchemy.

Thunderous roars spread, the great seal continued its gradual descent!

Toward Ji Jue!

Not only sealing external changes, but also exerting effect on Ji Jue's body, aiming to entirely abolish this rebirth form rooted in the Three Phases Conversion and Nine Forms Creation!

Without hesitation, Ji Jue retreated, but out of the shadows, the headless Kasu charged again, the hand of [Absolute Death] slashing at his face once more, yet merely faking a move, not engaging him head-on.

Only delaying him for less than a moment.

And then...

Clap!

Within the crisp palm clap, Meng Fengzuo's face was once more overlaid by a projection.

The Ruins' aura reappeared, surrounding Ji Jue from all sides, the Static Zone rose like high walls, sealing off his escape space, yet it was still not enough!

The shattering sound came from Meng Fengzuo's body, driving with all might, nearly overdrawingly catalyzing the projection's spirituality, causing the gravity Ji Jue felt to soar suddenly, by thousands, tens of thousands, even more!

Forcibly pinning him to the spot, allowing no escape!

In the final moment, Ji Jue only had time to raise his hand, directing Zhanlu at the colossal demon master standing between sea and sky!

Thus, a Light and Heat Sword burst forth from his fingertip, endlessly extending, slanting across sea and sky, stabbing at the demon master's face.

The White Emperor Demon Master remained unmoved, his eyes lowered, a cold snort escaping.

Within the operation of the Circle Realm, the pure light and heat being cleaved, just like before, silently dispersed, utterly vanished, as if it never existed...

Really?

It should have been that way!

But in that moment, the descending great seal suddenly halted, violently trembling, almost out of control.

A high-pitched, tragic scream echoed sea and sky.

An abrupt crack appeared on the White Emperor Demon Master's face, a smoldering, blazing scorched hole, piercing through the head!

Countless phosphorus light like blood poured out, transformed into a torrential downpour.

The demon master raged, nearly losing control!

In that instant, the Light and Heat Sword, meant to vanish without a trace, in just a fleeting flash, actually converged once more, thoroughly piercing through the utterly unprepared demon master's avatar!

"...I said you're no good, and you still don't believe it!"

Trapped in place, Ji Jue smiled coldly, another hand conjuring a banner out of nowhere, Tian Yuan's Law converging, Chixiao's red light soaring.

But deciding everything at this moment, was not Chixiao, but rather that pale banner atop Chixiao, fluttering, rustling in the wind!

The curtain unfurled!

Amidst limitless gathering of the Spirit of Creation, the Mechanical Mandala manifested.

From within the Circle Realm's suppression, it negated the corrections from the [Seven Saints Universal Prohibition Mantra], rebuffed the evaluation of [Good and Evil], even altering the standards of judgment altogether...

Attack?

How can this be called an attack?

This is called a great awakening blow!!!

At this moment, celestial flowers scattered, and golden lotuses emerged from the earth.

Calipers, wrenches, tape, and other Seven Treasures spewed out from Xu Lingyi's Circle Realm, and in the mist of the curtain, the outline of the mandala reappeared, with countless Spirits of Creation chanting in unison, rejoicing in praise:

"—Refuge in work, refuge in the factory, refuge in the compulsory labor law, refuge in the Supreme Blessing of the Supreme Mechanical Descent!"

Amidst the high-pitched 16Bit electronic chanting, infinite neon flashed, and the residual shadows of massive machinery converged, right there between the projections of the Seven Saints within the Circle Realm, a brand-new outline materialized from thin air!

Behind, the halo flickered and spun like RGB, the high-precision six-axis lathe beneath spread open like a lotus, surrounded by boundless Spirits of Creation worshiping in unison, meowing in praise.

The majestic figure raised its palm, pinched a screw, and smiled slightly.

[Good]!

Then, the silver Flame Light between sea and sky appeared out of nowhere, surged violently, filling everything, thoroughly demolishing the limitations set by Xu Lingyi, the Forbidden Technique broke without attack.

Even on that violently shaking great seal, fissures appeared one after another, unable to sustain, much less maintain.

This is the Righteous Law of Heaven and Earth!

Don't mention that the Forbidden Technique couldn't be maintained, even the Circle Realm was about to be out of control!

As the curtain unfolded, a shocked and pained Xu Lingyi felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He only felt as if an extra hand had appeared out of nowhere in his Circle Realm, groping around, kneading, weighing, slithering like a snake around him, bringing waves of cold shivers, yet he had nowhere to hide!

No way to avoid it, who told him to love sewing so much? Stitching here and there, merging the laws of Xu Family's Dharma Master with the discipline of ascetic monks...

On normal days it might have been bearable, able to blend in smoothly, but now, once unable to suppress Ji Jue, once his essence was glimpsed, his greatest weakness was immediately exposed — lack of purity!

This Circle Realm, supposedly combining the 'strengths' of both sides, might appear grand, but in truth, it's a jumble. It seems accommodating to both sides, yet it barely aligns... seems omnipotent and beneficial, but actually blocks future paths!

Completely forsaking all future possibilities, exchanging them for the convenience and strength of the present.

Even without Ji Jue, if he persisted on this path, it would inevitably spiral out of control, mutate, and eventually be turned into a flute-playing boy by Xu Youquan's Sealing God Magic!

Now, Ji Jue doesn't need to do anything, just by pulling out a mandala and forcibly interfering within his Circle Realm, changing the Seven Saints to Eight Saints, it's enough to greatly undermine the effectiveness of various Forbidden Techniques, even making them unable to take hold.

Now, at this critical moment where Xu Lingyi can't take care of everything, judgment and command descend from the clouds.

Ji Jue, holding a banner, shouted abruptly:

"Kneel down!"

Boom!

Before Xu Lingyi could regain his senses, the Heavenly Origin's Weight descended out of thin air.

Caught unprepared.

The Circle Realm cracked open, the originally towering White Emperor Demon Master by sea and sky suddenly knelt down with a thud, bending over and prostrating.

Before the watching eyes of all, as if bowing in homage!

Xu Lingyi screamed in rage, resisting desperately, even the pale face of the Demon Master's avatar showed strands of crimson, struggling furiously.

Immediately after, Ji Jue lifted his foot and stomped down fiercely, in the flow of Materiality, a pure mass impact surged, shattering the shackles of gravity and the barrier of the Static Zone.

With Meng Fengzuo shuddering suddenly, he opened his mouth and spat blood.

The Illusion Light on his body quickly shattered and dissipated.

At the center of the Ten Thousand Lights Turning Heron Lamp, Wei Wancheng's projection had turned completely black, this projection that saved him countless times had been completely erased.

"Transforming Illusion into Truth? Still just an illusion!" Ji Jue looked back coldly, flicked his finger, "All these are someone else's trifles, picking up leftovers, not worth mentioning!"

From his fingertips, the Light and Heat Sword shot out, racing towards the heavily injured Meng Fengzuo, but standing in front of Ji Jue in this moment was unexpectedly Luzhi Kasu!

Not out of so-called team loyalty or bonds, purely the simplest reason, if the lips are gone, the teeth will feel cold!

Rather than turning himself into an insulator to bear the blow, he chose assimilation.

The Zhanlu Light and heat shot through, piercing through his raised palm, following his arm inch by inch upwards, but under the deflection of the lapis lazuli Circle Realm, it deviated, flying off to somewhere else.

Kasu's other hand, already accelerating, thrusting once more toward Ji Jue's face!

Thus, colliding with Ji Jue's outstretched palm!

Head-to-head!

In that instant, Kasu's pupils contracted again, unable to believe what he saw.

Now appearing from the hand in the Circle Realm was something he'd recognize even if it turned to ash…

White Deer Skill - Blood Vibration!

"Sorry, this move seemed pretty simple, practiced a bit, and seems like I can do it."

In a brief struggle, Ji Jue's palm advanced inch by inch, pinching Kasu's five fingers, slowly shrinking, a scalp-numbing cracking sound echoed from the palm.

About to crush his hand, bit by bit, into dust!

In seemingly stalemated brief moments, with countless changes in power exertion and Spiritual Change in a second, even the superconductor and lapis lazuli couldn't adapt or transfer.

Kasu roared with humiliation, exerting all effort to overpower Ji Jue, but then saw those cold eyes.

"Mechanics are there, moves are there, what about the stats?"

Ji Jue inquired, "Did you eat them?"

Before he could respond, the other hand raised, a vast smack along with Jing Zhen, crashed out, directly bursting his freshly healed head.

Mangled!

Not far away, witnessing all this, Meng Fengzuo was nearly bursting with rage, his eyes almost bleeding.

Clenching his teeth tightly, enduring the pain, switching projections, trying to restrain Ji Jue once more… But in the gale sweeping across, in the rebirth form long devoid of sweat, now cold all over.

How much time has truly passed?

Ten minutes? Five minutes? Or is it… one minute?!

He dared not look at the time any longer, only feeling anxiously burning.

What on earth is Ling Liu doing, why haven't they made a move yet?

Why hasn't Schelbach taken action!

What exactly is he waiting for!

In that instant, he suddenly felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, body coursed with cold.

Because from afar, amidst the struggle and entanglement, Ji Jue's gaze suddenly turned towards him.

As if, full of doubt.

"How strange..."

Ji Jue tilted his head curiously, and once again asked that question:

"What exactly are you waiting for?"
