Heavenly Yang Mountain, an unnamed village, was where Chen Shi and others disguised themselves as porcelain to hide from the Evil Bodhisattva. At this moment, in the center of the village, the Evil Bodhisattva sat upright, gathering energy from all directions. The vitality of living beings within a hundred miles was rushing into its body.
Its evil nature spread from its body into the world, affecting the few surviving humans and evil spirits in the demon domain. Most villages had already been destroyed by it, and various spirit beasts and mountain spirits had been turned into porcelain. Now, not many humans survived in the demon domain.
It wanted to completely transform this territory into a demonic land to complete its transformation. It was a demon, but after its birth, its thoughts and awareness weren't strong. It mostly followed its body's instincts, wanting to take all life force and pollute everything it could until it reshaped it into its ideal form.
It had actually been born a long time ago. Over six thousand years ago, it was captured by a powerful man just as it was about to act on its instincts. This man sealed it in a porcelain body, making it and the porcelain one living entity. This method made it feel fear.
It was always trapped in this body. If the body was damaged, it was harmed; if the body was crippled, it was crippled too. The man treated it like a treasure, a tool placed in the kiln factory, turning a mighty demon into something useful.
But fortunately, wave after wave of foolish humans entered the kiln factory, allowing it to absorb their life force and gradually grow stronger. Until recently, when many people came to the kiln factory, including those who had cultivated their Primordial Spirit. To it, they were the most delicious nourishment, making it ecstatic.
It felt like a seed about to sprout, breaking through the earth at that moment. Six thousand years of waiting, all for today!
It unleashed its demon domain, turning this space-time into fertile land to nourish itself. Once it completely transformed this place and absorbed all its life force, it would complete its transformation, evolving into another form of life—stronger and more perfect.
It sensed that the transformation was getting closer, and in at most a hundred days, it would be complete. It eagerly awaited this transformation.
Just then, the Evil Bodhisattva's four faces slowly opened their eyes, looking in four different directions.
Prince Xiao, with the aura of nobility, had a long sword at his waist, the hilt pointing down, as he walked forward. On another side, a small old lady holding a Ram-Horn Heaven Spirit Lamp shone a bright light on its hidden demon soul in the porcelain, suppressing its power.
In other directions, Jin Hongying, tall and proud, and Li Jindou, sitting in a cart with his porcelain legs slightly swinging, were ready.
The Evil Bodhisattva slowly stood up, its faces showing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. In its hands, eight treasures—Sun Pearl, Moon Pearl, Soul Shaking Bell, Demon Vanquishing Staff, Banana Leaf Fan, bow, arrow, and a gold brick—began to shine with golden light, covered in talisman patterns, hiding their demonic nature.
But as soon as one's gaze fell on these treasures or was illuminated by the golden light, a feeling of mental confusion and distortion arose, causing uncontrollable demonic thoughts and loss of reason.
Fortunately, Granny Sha, though not present, used the Ram-Horn Heaven Spirit Lamp to suppress its demon soul and nature, preventing it from affecting their minds. Without the lamp, the four wouldn't even have a chance to fight.
However, the lamp couldn't stop the porcelain transformation. Prince Xiao, Jin Hongying, Li Jindou, and Granny Sha all noticed their wounds starting to itch, harden, and their blood and skin beginning to turn into porcelain.
The wounds were their weak points, first affected by the Evil Bodhisattva. Especially Li Jindou, who had once turned into a porcelain doll, with his legs still partially porcelain, was most affected. He could feel the porcelain spreading up his legs.
Yet he remained silent, fully focused, ready for a deadly strike. When enemies meet, no words are needed!
The talismans around the Evil Bodhisattva lit up, starting from its eight eyes, extending like flowing light through its veins to its eight arms. As it wielded its eight weapons, a tiny streak of light shot through, piercing the wrist of the arm holding the Sun Pearl, cutting off the power transmitted by the talismans along that vein!
It was a tiny sword, only three or four inches long, darting between its other seven arms, striking eight times in quick succession! Each strike was precisely at the points where its power connected to the treasures, greatly reducing the power of its eight weapons, unable to even reach a third of their usual strength!
At that moment, behind Li Jindou, a towering Primordial Spirit appeared, merging with his body, activating the Six Yin Jade Wheels. Six giant sword wheels roared forward, reaching the Evil Bodhisattva in an instant!
The jade wheels sliced through the air, clashing with the Sun and Moon Pearls, causing water and fire to burst forth, power surging.
Behind Jin Hongying, a tall Primordial Spirit appeared, gathering energy into a sword. With Jin Hongying's sword technique, the red sword energy slashed down, the tall spirit swinging its sword as well!
She wasn't from a noble family; she practiced the Demon-Slaying Talisman Technique from the Divine Mechanism Battalion, a common method but one she had mastered deeply.
Along with this sword energy, hundreds of sword energies followed, one after another. When the front sword energy was blocked, the ones behind merged with it, greatly increasing the power of the sword technique.
The Evil Bodhisattva used the Demon Vanquishing Staff to block the sword. The first sword energy was manageable, but as more sword energies merged with it, the staff cracked, almost splitting in two!
At the same time, Granny Sha stomped, and the ground, like black sand, surged up, trapping the Evil Bodhisattva, leaving it unable to leverage its strength.
Then, the eight trigrams of water, fire, marsh, mountain, wind, and thunder flew up, overwhelming the Evil Bodhisattva with mountains, rain-like thunder, and water and fire combined!
The Evil Bodhisattva shook the Soul Shaking Bell, resisting Granny Sha's attack while throwing the gold brick, transforming it into a golden mountain pressing down on Granny Sha.
Just as it seemed successful, a sword light flew in, knocking the gold brick away.
Prince Xiao's thin-waisted sword flew out, knocking the gold brick aside and immediately turning to stab at the Evil Bodhisattva's eyes!
The Evil Bodhisattva tried to unleash the power of its eight treasures, but whenever it was about to activate them, Prince Xiao's sword would accurately strike at its central points, dispersing its raging power by six or seven parts.
The Six Yin Jade Wheels pushed away the Sun and Moon Pearls, striking the Evil Bodhisattva, causing shattered blue porcelain to fly everywhere!
Meanwhile, Jin Hongying's red sword energy cut through the Demon Vanquishing Staff, slicing off one of the Evil Bodhisattva's arms.
Granny Sha's ever-changing trigrams repeatedly struck the Evil Bodhisattva.
At the same time, the thin-waisted and other sword pierced through each of the Evil Bodhisattva's eyes!
"We did it!"
Everyone felt a surge of joy as the massive body of the Evil Bodhisattva suddenly stopped, standing still.
Then, with a crashing sound, it shattered like broken porcelain, countless fragments falling to the ground with a clatter.
Li Jindou laughed heartily, "Good, good! My wise grandson's plan worked! We really killed it!"
Granny Sha let out a long breath, smiling, "Thanks to Little Shi for deciphering its talismans."
Jin Hongying also relaxed, the previous sword nearly exhausting her power, leaving her a bit drained.
Prince Xiao frowned slightly, not withdrawing his sword, still hovering over the pile of porcelain fragments. Though Chen Shi and Li Tianqing's plan was good, knowing the flows of power in the Evil Bodhisattva, and they indeed broke its body, it seemed too easy, making him feel uneasy.
"Moreover, the demon domain hasn't dispersed."
He remained highly alert.
Suddenly, the porcelain fragments rustled, and a sharp voice emerged, like a mix of human and bird sounds.
"It hurts, you hurt me so much!"
Prince Xiao's face changed, and his swords immediately stabbed into the pile of fragments!
Suddenly, the swords stopped, one caught by a bloody hand, the other pinched by two bloody fingers!
Prince Xiao sensed his swords' distress, a powerful evil force tainting them, eroding their spirits!
From the pile of fragments, a bloody figure slowly stood up, much shorter than the Evil Bodhisattva, yet still about fifteen feet tall, like a miniature version of it.
But it was flesh and blood, without skin.
The Evil Bodhisattva's shell was its skin. Now that it was broken, it was like being skinned.
An invisible thought invaded Prince Xiao, Jin Hongying, and the others' minds, eroding their spirits, making their world appear in different colors, twisting and turning, mountains stretching like noodles, shaking.
"Wearing the Seven Stars, the law responds to the heavenly fight. The life officer grants me years, the record officer protects my life!"
Granny Sha, holding the lamp, stepped forward, her aura reaching its peak, white hair flying.
"Nine passages of the cinnabar book, dispelling disasters and evil. White silk as a talisman, eliminating harm. Yu clears the path, Chiyou avoids soldiers!"
She formed a sword gesture with her hand, pointing forward,
"Hurry as the law commands! Snap—"
The bloody Evil Bodhisattva's body trembled slightly, Prince Xiao, Jin Hongying, and Li Jindou awakened from the illusion, their swords escaping, though greatly weakened.
The blood-covered Evil Bodhisattva opened its eyes, looking at Granny Sha, who was hit hard, groaning with blood at her mouth.
Her heart sank. The Evil Bodhisattva, without its shell, was stronger than before!
Suddenly, the Evil Bodhisattva's eight hands frantically tore at itself, ripping off chunks of flesh in agony.
From its flesh, porcelain pieces grew, like its skin, quickly forming a blue porcelain skin despite its painful scratching.
"Why can't I escape, why can't I break free from your shackles!"
The Evil Bodhisattva shouted, glaring at the four, "You ruined my transformation, trapping me in this prison, today you'll all become my nourishment!"
In the distance, on Mysterious Mountain, the great serpent noticed this, sighed, and said, "In the end, they still failed."
"Brother, I'm going," Chen Yindu bowed to the serpent.
The spirit of the mountain returned the gesture, watching him walk towards the Evil Bodhisattva.
From between the mountains and sky, an ancient voice echoed,
"The mysterious sect of heaven and earth, the root of all energy. Through countless trials, I prove my divine powers. In and out of the three realms, I alone am supreme!"
The departing figure grew taller, seemingly truly protected by the energy of heaven and earth, proving divine powers through endless trials.
With a body of golden light, illuminating the demon domain,
"Guardians of the three realms, five emperors attend. All gods pay homage, commanding thunder. Ghosts and demons vanish, spirits lose form. Within is thunder, the thunder god hidden. Wisdom interwoven, joy abounds!
Golden light swiftly appears, protecting my body!
In the golden light, countless talismans emerged, as if thousands of deities of China, with radiant glory, floated like clouds, heading towards the heavily demonic land—"
