Chapter 672 Repression (1/2)
Lady Mother of the Chariot's appalling punch changed her state of defense into attack. It seemed that the space in front of Shen Lian was fully filled by the single strike of Lady Mother of the Chariot's white colored crystalline punch. The space was filled to its brim.
The tightened fist fully demonstrated the great path of strength. It even had a sense of indescribable desolation.
Lady Mother of the Chariot seemed to have returned to the time where she was bestowed. Finally, she regained the demeanor she once had during her battle against the three bodhisattvas: Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang.
Shen Lian's heart of Dao was unflustered. It was filled with the strong vital force dispersed by Lady Mother of the Chariot's punch. Suddenly, he halted amidst his rapid retreat. A seal was formed by his pair of hands in an indescribable speed and embraced Lady Mother of the Chariot's potent holy punch.
An appalling force exploded in Bi You Palace. The main hall was fully filled with blazing white radiance. If this happened in the outside world, every flora or rubble would be eradicated. Nothing could survive this destruction. Even the void would be annihilated.
Nevertheless, Bi You Palace was only slightly shaken. It managed to embody this terrifying explosion of Qi of vitality which was alike to a tsunami. Though Shen Lian's spiritual shape whirled amidst the roaring waves, it was not damaged. The seal he created had changed his qualities drastically. He was gracefully celestialized and appeared like he did not belong to this world. He then merged with the initial stage of Taixu and was no longer easily harmed.
This seal represented his profound interpretation of the path of Taixu. It had defeated all of Lady Mother of the Chariot's attacks.
The terrifying waves of Qi of vitality finally ebbed under Bi You Palace's Dao rhythm. Lady Mother of the Chariot and Shen Lian looked at each other from afar. They both have realized that each other's reputation was genuine and not mere rumors.
Lady Mother of the Chariot was especially astonished. Such feeling was inexpressible. She had already gathered in her body all remaining spirits of her sect to boost her energy. However, she still did not have the confidence in defeating Shen Lian.
Shen Lian smiled and said, ”Daoist, if these are all the techniques you have, you might not be able to leave Bi You Palace alive.”
Lady Mother of the Chariot sniggered and said,”I was not planning to leave.”
Shen Lian sneered as the Qi of black and white gushed throughout his body. Under his feet, there were gleaming waves of light which appeared like an expansive sea. He used Jing Shu's mana to create a Northern Underworld while Kui Li's mana was used to create Yin and Yang. A serene bird and a Kunpeng emerged beside him, unleashing a supreme demonic force.
Jing Shu exclaimed, ”He managed to utilize our mana to materialize forms through emulation. This can be compatible with the Winning Buddha's seventy-two polymorphic transformation.”
Kui Li nodded in agreement. This indicated that Shen Lian had a deeper understanding of the inherent qualities of all things. As such, he could utilize their mana to create their demonic forms. Although these were only illusions of mana and Qi of vitality, this supernatural power was almost compatible to theirs.
Lady Mother of the Chariot stared coldly towards the odd view ahead of her. The starlight that surrounded her flowed like stardust. A small cross-legged person appeared in her eyes. That was her thoroughly tempered Primordial Spirit. Celestial tones started ringing and melodious music was played. In her eyes, numerous seals appeared and surrounded her Primordial Spirit.
This was a vision in the 'Inner scene of Huangting'. It meant that her cultivation experience in Daoism had reached a terrifying stage.
Outside of Bi You Palace, stars of the Netherworld's vault of heaven shone brightly.
Lady Mother of the Chariot's celestial tone was alike to an ancient covenant. As she communicated with the stars, infinite meteors traversed the sky and descended to her side.
Shen Lian looked at this sight serenely. In accordance to the Netherworld legends, Lady Mother of the Chariot was the leader of the stars. She had once defeated all the stars apart from the moon and sun. It seemed like this was not a fabricated story.
Kunpeng and the serene bird could not sustain Lady Mother of the Chariot's force of the amassed stars. One charged towards Lady Mother of the Chariot from the top while the other attacked her from below. They were both fearless of death given that they were merely illusions of Qi of vitality.
They collided aggressively amidst the infinite starlights. All the space in Bi You Palace was shaken and Lady Mother of the Chariot had almost stumbled over.
However, she still managed to gather the starlights orderly and started to chant an ancient syllable. Whenever each syllable was mentioned, the intensity of the starlight would increase. This made it even more difficult for the illusory demons to attack her.
