The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 263 - 209: Yi Divine Shooting Skill, "Sky Breaking Bow" Appears

Chapter 263: Chapter 209: Yi Divine Shooting Skill, "Sky Breaking Bow" Appears

As soon as Jieyin finished speaking, a brilliant gleam burst from his eyes, and an overwhelmingly powerful pressure erupted instantly. The spiritual energy of the entire Mount Sumeru trembled.

Above Jieyin’s head, the Jieyin Treasure Banner and the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus radiated infinite divine light, and two mysterious forces burst forth, immediately making the already obscure and impending calamity of fate even more chaotic.

With fate thrown into disarray, other Saints of equal standing, such as The Three Pure Ones, immediately sensed it and opened their eyes in astonishment, starting to calculate rapidly. However, after a while, gaining nothing, the Saints quickly closed their eyes again,

Thinking that only another Saint could cause such turmoil in fate, they saw no need to fuss over who was disturbing the fate. With the calamity nearing, everyone was at risk. Chaos in fate, naturally, played to their advantage in calculating. Thus, there was no need to investigate further.

Among the Saints, only Lady Nuwa was not so composed. After all, as a Saint of the Demon Race, she saw the escalating Witch Demon War approaching, with increasing friction between the Witch and Demon Clans and various battles erupting everywhere. Countless demon cultivators fell, filling the atmosphere between heaven and earth with boundless resentment, evil qi, and killing intent, changing rapidly. Naturally, she was worried for the Demon Race! But she also understood that worrying was futile; she could only quietly await the development of events and adapt as necessary.

After an unknown length of time, Jieyin opened his eyes, looking somewhat weary, and said to Zhunti, "Junior Brother, fate is now utterly chaotic! It’s time to make our move!"

"Hmph! The Demon Race must pay for past deeds!" Zhunti, with a sinister sneer, his figure flashed, and he disappeared!

...

Below Mount Buzhou, the territory of the Witch Tribe.

In a clearing within the forested mountains of the Earth Village of the Witch Tribe, Hou Yi held the Mystic Iron Bow, aiming into the distance.

Tens of thousands of miles away, on the other side of the forest, the Heaven and Earth Taoist, with a sinister look, glanced at Hou Yi and waved his hand, and a target made entirely of refined mystic gold appeared next to him.

With blood-red pupils emitting brilliant rainbow light, the Heaven and Earth Taoist spoke softly, "If you miss the heart of this target, be prepared for physical punishment!"

Though spoken softly, the eerie voice reached Hou Yi’s ears, causing him to shiver and focus intently, adjusting for direction, angle, wind speed, humidity, and other factors, he bent the bow and shot the arrow in one fluid motion.

With a clear "buzz," the Mystic Iron Arrow trembled at the tail feathers, breaking through the air and accurately hitting the target.

"Again!" The Heaven and Earth Taoist waved his hand to remove the Mystic Iron Arrow and coldly said, "This time, shoot two arrows together!"

Hearing this, Hou Yi, without furrowing his brow, again bent the bow and shot the arrows, as if well accustomed to the ordeal.

The entire Witch Tribe knew that the Heaven and Earth Taoist was personally teaching Hou Yi the art of divine archery. Although it was unclear why the Heaven and Earth Taoist had chosen Hou Yi specifically, this did not stop the Witches from envying or resenting him.

Who was the Heaven and Earth Taoist? He was an existence on par with the Ancestor Witches, with extremely high cultivation, capable of moving mountains and rivers and possessing vast divine powers! To be personally taught by him was a tremendous honor.

However, Hou Yi did not think so. At first, he was quite conflicted and only reluctantly agreed to receive special training from the Heaven and Earth Taoist.

The archery technique he was currently practicing was called Yi Divine Shooting Skill. This divine power of the Witch Tribe was derived and created by Li Qingming from Pangu’s Great Method.

When executing this method, one is not allowed to use Divine Sense or mana to control the arrows; instead, one must rely solely on the brute force of the most primal bloodline to shoot the arrows. If perfected, a single arrow could severely injure a Primary Sub-Saint or even kill a Quasi-Saint at the Daluo Peak!

Some might say, can mere brute force archery possess such power?

Indeed, it is no exaggeration: first, although this archery technique does not require the support of Primordial Spirit or mana, it consumes a tremendous amount of heart power. If cultivated to its pinnacle, even an Ancestor Witch Body might find themselves mentally drained after shooting about twenty arrows, unable to fire another.

Second, as the saying goes, to do good work, one must first sharpen one’s tools. This archery technique has high requirements for both the "bow" and the "arrow," especially the "arrow." For instance, the most frightening power of this archery technique, even capable of severely wounding a Primary Sub-Saint. It should be noted that such power is attached to the bow and arrow—if the material of the arrow is not good enough, such tremendous force could cause the bow and arrow to completely break.

Therefore, to unleash such extraordinary power with this archery technique, one needs a good bow and must specifically craft even more powerful arrows!

The Witch Tribe lacks Primordial Spirits, so they do not cultivate the Primordial Spirits or possess Mana, they only have the surging power of their bloodline coursing through their veins. Hence, this technique was crafted solely for the Witch Tribe. As to why Hou Yi was specifically chosen, surely the spectators have a clear understanding in their minds.

Until Hou Yi could shoot ten arrows at once, the Heaven and Earth Taoist then instructed Hou Yi to stop and catch his breath.

"Hou Yi, this arrow skill requires immense brute force from the bloodline. Although over the years, I have tried my best to find you spiritual objects that enhance the power of the bloodline, ultimately, I couldn’t help you attain the power of an Ancestor Witch! You will need continuous practice hereafter, and there will be a time when your skills are needed!" The tone of the Heaven and Earth Taoist was ominous but filled with sincerity.

Upon hearing this, Hou Yi’s face showed excitement as he nodded and said, "Hou Yi will not disappoint Lord Heaven and Earth for his teachings!"

That night, the moonlight poured down like a waterfall.

Li Qingming, dressed in a green Daoist robe, quietly appeared ten thousand feet below Mount Buzhou.

Two Primordial Meetings ago, Li Qingming had secretly hidden himself within Mount Buzhou, gathering top-tier refining materials like Innate Geng Metal, Profound Yin True Water, Outer Heaven Star Iron, and the last trace of resentment from Luo Hou’s death. He placed these inside the Qiankun Tripod for ten thousand years, condensing them into an extremely yin chill giant bow. After the condensing was complete, Li Qingming then placed the giant bow at the coldest and most primordial spot on Mount Buzhou, allowing it to be nourished by the spiritual energy of Mount Buzhou.

Thus, two Primordial Meetings passed until today, the bow was finally completely nurtured. Coincidentally, Di Jun had driven all ten Little Golden Crows to the Sun Star, which made Li Qingming realize that a great Calamity was imminent.

Li Qingming floated in the air beneath Mount Buzhou, deep within a mountain hollow. This place had been extremely cold since the transformation of Pangu, and the aura left by Pangu’s death added a trace of Evil Qi. Being a Saint, Li Qingming naturally did not fear the cold. He reached a Cold Ice Cave with a significant presence of Cold Evil Energy, looking ominously frigid that it sent shivers down one’s spine.

Upon reaching a cave dense with Yin Cold Evil Qi, Li Qingming felt a thought stir and looked towards the deep blue walls. With a light tap, a hoof-like imprint appeared. Li Qingming gave a slight smile, waved his hand and a small, cute phantom of a panda appeared, leaving a paw print on it.

"Woo!" In an instant, the Yin Cold Energy in the cave surged, and endless Evil Qi violently howled as it stormed into the cave.

In the center of the cave, a giant bow appeared. This bow was deep blue, engraved with sun, moon, stars, and various Primordial Strange Beasts with cold attributes, adding to the bow’s intimidating presence.

Li Qingming stepped into the cave, casually dispersed the severe cold and Evil Qi, then reached out and the bow slowly drifted into his hands.

Li Qingming took the bow, channeling Mana into it. As the green Yuqing True Essence entered the bow, the entire bow emitted a pale blue glow. The beasts engraved on the bow seemed to come to life, their fierce and terrifying faces radiating an immensely violent aura.

Pleased, Li Qingming smiled, raised his head and waved again, and an arrow quiver squeezed out from the void. Pale blue arrows, exuding extreme Yin Evil Qi, emitted a bone-chilling cold from within the quiver.

Li Qingming pulled out an arrow to examine it: its triangular arrowhead glowed purple, the barbed arrow shaft was difficult to pull out once shot, the pale blue arrow tip seemed to be dipped in fierce poison. The slender arrow was etched with numerous characters that emitted faint cold light, eerie to behold. The arrow tail had silver triangular feathers, giving it a formidable look.

Seeing the arrows nourished by spiritual energy, Li Qingming laughed loudly and said, "With such Yin Evil Qi-filled arrows, this bow shall surely Break the Firmament! Henceforth, you are named the Sky Breaking Bow, haha! With the mighty power of the Sky Breaking Bow, even if you, Golden Crow, had nine lives, you would still perish on the spot!"

When Li Qingming holding the Sky Breaking Bow and the Arrow Quiver appeared before Hou Yi, it was already dawn. He hastily handed this peculiar Witch Treasure to Hou Yi, gave a brief instruction, and then escaped back to Heavenly Court. This moment was crucial for the Witch and Demon Clans, and not even the slightest mistake could be afforded.

...

Regardless of what Hou Yi thought at the moment, just outside the Sun Star’s Tang Valley, an uninvited guest had arrived. He was tall and thin, with messy long hair and a sleazy face, dressed in a tattered, blood-stained gray Daoist robe. It was none other than Zhunti, the Western Saint, who had transformed his appearance!

Zhunti, being a Saint, although Tang Valley was heavily guarded by Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals from Heavenly Court, including many at the Daluo Golden Immortal level, still managed to enter unnoticed, easily bypassing the Arrays and Prohibitions to reach the grand Fusang Divine Tree.
