The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 293 - 139: For Reincarnation, All Saints Contend

Zhunti’s smile froze, and his face immediately flushed with anger as he snorted coldly, "We’re all quite well, no need for fellow daoist to worry!"

Houtu noticed the rift between Li Qingming and the Western Two Saints and had heard of how shameless Zhunti could be. Fearing that Zhunti might harm Li Qingming, she quickly stepped forward to greet them. "Houtu pays respects to the Two Saints of the West. May I ask what brings the Two Saints here?"

"Hehe, I have heard that fellow daoist Houtu has sacrificed the Good Corpse to transform into the Six Paths of Reincarnation. I admire your compassionate heart! I have specially come to assist fellow daoist in establishing the Six Paths of Reincarnation!" Jie Yin said with a face full of compassion that matched his words.

"Fellow Daoist’s kind intent is well appreciated by Houtu, but the Earthly Palace is already fully established, and there’s really no need for fellow Daoist to bother!" Houtu responded with a slight furrow in her brows.

"You speak amiss, fellow daoist. There are trillions of souls within this Land of Reincarnation. Among them, many are laden with heavy sins. If we allow them to simply transmigrate, would it not hinder the operation of the Heavenly Dao?" Zhunti shifted his gaze towards Houtu and said, "The Buddha Power of our Western Teachings can surely purify these souls of their sins. It would be better for us to take up residence within Reincarnation!"

"The matters of the East will be resolved by ourselves; we wouldn’t dare to trouble the Two Saints of the West with their august presence!" said the Netherworld River deities with a cold expression, speaking indifferently.

Zhunti gave a slight smile and said, "The Primordial Heaven and Earth were opened up by the Pan Gu God, so what is this talk of East and West? Moreover, we aim to purify souls of their sins with Buddha Power for fellow daoist Houtu’s sake!"

"Nonsense, when have you ever been considerate for others, Zhunti? Whenever there’s an opportunity to gain advantage, don’t you always flock there?" Tongtian curled his lips, filled with disdain.

Zhunti, furious, pointed at Tongtian and yelled, "Tongtian, there are words that can be said, and there are words that mustn’t be spoken without care!"

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Tongtian raised an eyebrow and coldly said, "What kind of place is the Netherworld Blood Sea, and what is the Six Paths of Reincarnation? Both you and I are well aware! What ghostly scheme you’re hatching, do you think I don’t know?"

"Tongtian, do not spout nonsense!" Zhunti’s face reddened with anger as he pointed at Tongtian and responded, "This place of reincarnation is where all creatures undergo transmigration, a place of great importance for the Primordial World! What fault is there for us wanting to enter the cycle of Reincarnation to save the souls of all beings?"

"Hmph, pretty words are easy to say!" Tongtian stood his ground.

"Today, we of the West shall take residence in Reincarnation!" No sooner had Zhunti spoken, he raised the Seven Treasures Miao Tree and directly swept it towards the Earthly Palace.

If gentle words would not work, then force must be applied. Truly, Zhunti is the very pinnacle of shamelessness.

"How dare you, Zhunti, you lowly man?" Seeing this, Tongtian shouted fiercely and drew out the Qingping Sword from behind him to strike. The Qingping Sword was entirely green, flashing with dazzling brilliance. The dense Upper Qing True Essence formed a peerless sharp Sword Qi around the sword.

"Boom!"

The Sword Qi directly struck the Seven Treasures Miao Tree, and for a moment, the whole world turned blindingly white, as if hundreds of suns had been imprisoned and hung simultaneously in the sky, their blazing light pulsating unceasingly.

"Rumble!"

With earth-shaking loud sounds, the intense impact wave shattered the void, and endless Chaos Qi poured down like a grey waterfall in torrents.

"Good!" Fire of excitement blazed in Tongtian’s eyes, as his fighting spirit soared.

"Crack boom!"

Another sword strike was unleashed, and the mighty Sword Qi, mountainous in strength, caused the void to tremble. Tongtian combined Qingping Sword Qi with Upper Pure Immortal Skill, creating a mountainous pressure that hammered down fiercely on top of Zhunti’s head.

The Great Mountain, looming like the heavens, towering and vast, filled the void!

Zhunti’s face changed drastically; he had never imagined that Tongtian’s strength would be a whole level above his own! But mere regret was of no avail. Gritting his teeth, he activated the Seven Treasures Miao Tree in his hands, with surging golden Buddha Power manifesting into seven colorful giant dragons.

"Roar!"

The Dragon Roar shook the Nine Heavens, as the rugged dragon bodies traversed the sky, wielding their tens of thousands of meters long bodies, heading straight for the Sword Qi Great Mountain.

This was an unstoppable force; the nine True Dragons shone darkly, each of their scales half a meter in length, their bodies like a steel fortress, rolling across the sky, destroying anything that obstructed them.

"Boom!"

The seven giant dragons spiraled and roared, omnipresent, weaving through the void and breaking through barriers, appearing directly before the Sword Qi Great Mountain.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The powerful booming and the dragons’ agonized cries rose together as the two Saints clashed under the starry sky. The other Six Saints seemed to float with leisure, seemingly indifferent to the conflict between the two.

At this moment, all the Saints’ gazes were focused on Zhunti. No one noticed the young monk, who had always followed behind Jie Yin without a word, his hands constantly switching Seal Techniques, his mouth quietly murmuring something.

Tongtian’s eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly not limiting himself to clashing mana, he swung out with his sword. The sharp longsword, like a constant star, with a dragon-shaped blade, flashed like lightning, agile yet bursting with Yang Qi, and Blood Qi soared to the heavens!

"Swoosh!"

Before he could react, Zhunti was slashed across the sleeve by Tongtian’s Qingping Sword, his body flickering with golden light spewed out a foot-long streak of Blood Radiance.

"Ah! Impudent Tongtian, Buddha will make sure you pay for this!" Zhunti howled in pain, raising the Seven Treasures Miao Tree and sweeping it towards the Qingping Sword.

"Boom!"

It was then that the battle between the Sword Qi Great Mountain and the seven light dragons was decided. The mountainous Sword Qi thundered, crushing the seven giant dragons. Carrying an endless might, it shot straight towards Zhunti, its vast and peerless force unmatched in that moment!

"Stop harming my junior brother!" Seeing the Great Mountain about to press down upon Zhunti, Jie Yin could no longer hold back, hurling out the Twelve Grade Lotus Platform, firmly shielding Zhunti within.

"Boom!"

The Great Mountain crashed against the protective shield of the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus, completely obliterated.

"Hahaha, Jie Yin Master Uncle, how utterly shameless you are! During the previous battle in Outer Heaven, it was you and your brother who joined forces to attack. Do you have no sense of shame?" Li Qingming saw Jie Yin take action and instantly burst into hearty laughter.

"Qingmingzi, you little thief, you’ve insulted me time and again! Do you really think I, Buddha, am made of mud that cannot be sculpted? Give me your life!" Already feeling extremely stifled in his heart, Zhunti, braving the Twelve Grade Lotus Platform, attacked Li Qingming.

"Zhunti, have you no shame? Attacking a junior as a senior, you truly are deserving of your title as the number one shameless person of the Primordial era!" Ming River was shaking with immense anger. To bully his big brother on his own territory and right before his eyes, wasn’t this courting death?

Out of furious anger, Ming River directly summoned Yuan Tu and Avici and began exchanging blows with Zhunti.

Ha, this has really livened things up! Aside from the Western Two Saints present, all the other Saints had close ties with Li Qingming. Starting a conflict in this setting, could Zhunti really expect any good outcome?

"Zhunti, come on! Let’s fight another six hundred rounds!" Tongtian said with a roguish smile at the corner of his mouth, imitating Jie Yin and leaping into the fray.

Although Zhunti’s cultivation had indeed improved over the years, he was evenly matched with Ming River. Now with Tongtian joining in, he seemed rather out of his depth.

"Tongtian, how dare you!" Jie Yin shouted in fury, drawing out the Vajra Pestle and leaping into the battle as well.

"Boom!"

Previously, the clash between Tongtian and Zhunti, two Saints, made Heaven and Earth crack, with no light from the sun and moon. Now that four Saints were fighting, in just an instant, they completely shattered the Void.

Laozi, feeling helpless, shook his head and cast out the Tai Chi Diagram, enveloping a hundred miles of space within. After all, hailed as the number one Saint under Hong Jun, Laozi alone made all the other Saints feel inferior with just this move.

"Tongtian, don’t think that having the Four Immortal Slaying Swords makes you invincible in this world! Buddha here has always wanted to convert you at my Western Sumeru Mountain!" Zhunti seemed to have gone mad, fully circulating Zhou Tian Buddha Power and pressing forward. A Ten Thousand Character Seal from the Buddhist Sect suddenly appeared on his forehead, pulsating wildly, giving Zhunti an extremely fierce appearance.

"Convert me? Do you think you are Hong Jun himself? What nonsense! Tomorrow, I’ll personally go to your Sumeru Mountain and lay down the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation, completely blocking off the living path of your Western Teachings!" Tongtian shouted loudly, leaping into the air, his Qingping Sword turned into a dragon and charged forward, his left hand forming the True Upper Pure Immortal Technique, and slammed it down fiercely.

Zhunti roared, reciting a passage from ancient scriptures. His entire body emitted Infinite Light, like an Angry-eyed Vajra, his Ten-foot Golden Body brandishing the Purple Golden Bowl and Seven Treasures Miao Tree fiercely striking forward.

"Dang!"

The Purple Golden Bowl vibrated intensely, like the resounding peals of a grand bell, with a thousand reverberations. The space tightly enclosed by the Tai Chi Diagram suddenly stirred a ten-thousand-foot Qi Force, like a tsunami rolling towards the surroundings.

"Whoosh!"

Li Qingming’s eyes narrowed slightly, rooting deeply in the space like a resilient bamboo within rock. Yet in his heart, he was suddenly shocked, thinking: "I didn’t expect Zhunti’s cultivation to improve so much over the years! And who is that giant hand that can forcibly enhance Zhunti’s cultivation realm? Strange, very strange!"

"Hahaha, I, Buddha, am now an Undamaged Body, if you still think you can harm my physical body with your Qingping Sword, that’s a fool’s dream!" Zhunti laughed loudly, the Seven Treasures Miao Tree in his hands radiating Seven-colored Immortal Light, its aura even more vigorous as it struck forward once again.

"Don’t mention just you, even if you two brothers come at me together, I can still chop you into mincemeat," Tongtian’s bloodthirsty eyes shot forth a thick stream of Blood Qi, piercing through layers of space.

His whole body bathed in Upper Qing Immortal Light, like a Nine Revolutions Golden Body, his Divine Radiance blazing intensely!

On the other side, Ming River and Jie Yin’s battle was equally fierce.

Jie Yin, circulating the same Cultivation Technique as Zhunti, his entire body shone with a glittering golden hue, seemingly every inch of his flesh containing the power to destroy Heaven and Earth. The surging waves unleashed by rotating the Vajra Pestle seemed to press down on the Void itself.

Ming River, with a cold expression, dual-wielded Yuan Tu and Avici swords, emanating a chilling aura. The dark red Blood Sea Qi, tinged with blood, contained a terrifying erosive force, which even a Quasi-Saint would peel a layer of skin upon contact.

"Shi!"

A crimson Sword Qi directly pierced through the Void, slashing on Jie Yin’s arm, but only left a shallow white mark.

Jie Yin let out a woeful roar, his Ten-foot Golden Body shaking wildly. He seemed like a maddened lion, emitting a sound like the collapsing of mountains and the tsunami of seas.

"Demon Suppressing Lion Seal!"
