Chapter 119 Tensions Rise, Ao Guang's Fury
Before Taibai could intervene, Xiao Hei had already transformed into a dark shadow, rushing straight towards Ao Guang with a heart full of grief and indignation.
However, the gap between a Golden Immortal and a Great Luo Immortal is not only a chasm in cultivation level, but also a difference in the depth of their understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.
Every time Xiao Hei made a desperate attack, he was sent flying by Ao Guang's casual palm strike.
"Little Black, that's enough! You're no match for him today. Wait until you attain the Great Luo Dao Fruit, then you can settle accounts with him!"
But Xiao Hei seemed not to hear, and kept struggling to get up and pounce on him again.
That posture was no longer one of fighting, but more like waves crashing against rocks with flesh and blood.
"What's wrong with this little black guy? Could it be that his mind has been consumed by a demon...?"
Taibai whispered, having no other choice but to activate the imprint planted deep within Xiaohei's primordial spirit.
A beam of clear light burst forth from Xiao Hei's spiritual platform, and his whole body stiffened, finally being forcibly frozen in place.
Ao Guang, however, showed no intention of stopping.
"You wretched creature...you must die today!" His dragon eyes gleamed with bloodlust, his killing intent tangible. "Only when your soul and spirit are annihilated can my hatred be appeased!"
Before he could finish speaking, Ao Guanglong's dragon claw slammed down with the force of a collapsing sea.
This attack was relentless, seemingly intent on crushing Xiao Hei along with the entire sea area.
Seeing this, Taibai quickly rolled up his sleeves and used a gentle force to pull Xiao Hei backward, while simultaneously summoning a protective magic treasure to block in front of him.
boom!
How could a powerful strike from a Great Immortal in a fit of rage be easily countered?
Even with the spiritual treasures to counteract it, the terrifying shock still made Taibai feel a sweet taste in his throat, and fresh blood splattered into the blue waves.
"Fellow Daoist Ao Guang!" Taibai wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, his voice turning stern.
"Little Black is now the Marshal of the Central Altar, appointed by the Heavenly Court, and is also my mount! If you kill him, you will be making an enemy of the Heavenly Court!"
"The Heavenly Court? Hahaha!" Ao Guang raised his head and laughed wildly, his dragon roar filled with sarcasm.
"Does the Heavenly Court of today even deserve to be compared to my Eastern Sea? A mere Daoist boy in charge of this empty shell dares to make me bow my head? Do you think the Heavenly Court of today is the same as the Demon Court of the past?!"
"So you intend to become enemies of our three religions?"
Taibai mentions his sect again, hoping that these two words can bring Ao Guang back to his senses.
Ao Guang simply raised his dragon claw slowly, aiming it at Taibai and Xiao Hei.
"Damn it, Ao Guang's condition is off... Why hasn't Yinglong appeared yet? How could the dragon race be completely unaware of the changes in the East Sea?"
Deep in the sea, the five-colored undercurrents grew increasingly turbulent, and the edge of the five-pointed star area was quietly creeping into an even deeper darkness.
Taibai made a hand seal with his right hand, and a clear light flowed from his fingertips, causing the Haotian Mirror to appear in front of him.
The mirror-like surface was like water, rippling with faint golden waves.
"Hmph, so what if you have the Haotian Mirror? Today, I will annihilate your souls!"
Ao Guang let out a long roar, his dragon aura surging like the sea, and he released his quasi-saintly pressure without reservation.
He pressed one palm towards the sky, and the clouds above Taibai's head suddenly tore apart, revealing a giant hand that covered half the sky as it descended from the sky.
Rumble!
The giant hand slammed firmly onto the golden light shield erected by the Haotian Mirror, causing the heavens and earth to tremble, the sea to sink by a hundred feet, and countless water columns to shoot into the sky.
But when the light faded, Taibai and Xiaohei beside him stood steadily in their original positions.
The Haotian Mirror floated silently, its surface shimmering with light, completely neutralizing the devastating attack.
Taibai's eyes narrowed, and he uttered a silent incantation, causing the Haotian Mirror to slowly rotate.
At the center of the mirror, a point of golden light rapidly contracted, then burst forth as a beam of light shot straight towards Ao Guang.
"Well done! I'd like to see how much divine power this attendant of the Jade Emperor can borrow!"
Ao Guang neither dodged nor avoided, his magical power surging around him, and layers of protective divine light bloomed, shielding him in the center.
The beam of light from the Haotian Mirror arrived in an instant, colliding with the protective divine light and erupting with a piercing cracking sound.
The first few layers of divine light shattered instantly, but the last layer of cyan-gold light remained exceptionally resilient.
Upon witnessing this scene, Li Bai was deeply shaken.
"Don't say the Dragon Palace has no treasures! Although the Haotian Mirror is powerful, my Dragon Clan also possesses unparalleled spiritual treasures!"
Ao Guang suddenly reached his right hand towards the void in front of his chest, and a cyan light burst forth from his palm, quickly condensing into a round token.
The next moment, Ao Guang flicked his wrist, and the token hummed as it extended and transformed into a three-foot-long sword.
"This treasure is one of the Dragon Clan's most precious artifacts, named the Dragon Token. It combines offense and defense, and its power is no less than the Haotian Mirror!"
Ao Guang lowered his eyes to look at the long sword in his hand, a smile flashing across his lips. His figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, and the next moment he was already in front of Taibai.
The sword light, like a dragon, carrying immense magical power, continuously bombarded the pale golden light screen hanging from the Haotian Mirror.
Looking at the crazed Ao Guang in the mirror, Taibai felt a tightness in his chest and couldn't help but speak up to dissuade him:
"Fellow Daoist, please calm down. The most urgent task is to resolve the problem below."
But Ao Guang seemed not to hear, and his attack continued without stopping.
Swords fell like rain, and the light screen outside the mirror cracked and trembled incessantly.
Taibai felt a chill run down his spine. Although he possessed spiritual treasures such as the Pure World White Lotus, even if he used them, he would still find it difficult to withstand the power of the Dragon Token, given his cultivation level as a Taiyi Golden Immortal.
In a moment of turmoil, he could only place his hopes on the Tai Chi diagram.
Although limited by his level of understanding, he could not unleash the full power of the Tai Chi diagram, the sacred power contained within it might still offer a glimmer of hope.
The next moment, the Haotian Mirror's defenses completely collapsed.
Almost simultaneously, the Taiji diagram beneath Taibai's feet unfolded, with black and white energy flowing like a wall, steadily supporting the two.
The power of the creation treasure was indeed extraordinary. As soon as the Taiji diagram appeared, its majestic Daoist aura surged out, pushing Ao Guang, who was rushing towards it, back hundreds of meters away.
Taibai felt a little relieved and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he was startled to find the Taiji diagram beneath his feet suddenly trembling.
The Yin and Yang energies of the Tai Chi diagram flowed downwards uncontrollably, directly plunging into the chaotic area of the Five Elements below.
The radiance of the Tai Chi diagram flickered, and the defensive aura surrounding the body quickly dimmed and thinned.
"Hahaha!" Ao Guang steadied himself and burst into laughter. "I don't know why, but this Tai Chi diagram seems to be out of your control! I'd like to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!"
His eyes flashed with even more ferocity, and disregarding the injuries he had sustained from the earlier shock, he once again swung his sword at Taibai.
The Taiji diagram broke free from Taibai's control, transforming into a stream of light that swiftly shot towards the chaotic region below.
At this moment, the sword's edge was already above his head.
Without further hesitation, Taibai's mind raced, and his body flashed with precious light.
He unleashed all his protective magical treasures, layering them one on top of the other, hoping to temporarily block the attack and protect himself and Xiao Hei.
Just then, a muffled, thunderous roar came from the area below, and then, starting from the center of the pentagram, a series of raging tornadoes rose from the ground, reaching the sky and connecting the earth.
The Five Elements principles intertwined wildly at the eye of the storm, transforming into a turbulent current.
Moments later, the tornadoes merged together, growing larger and larger, with the eye of the storm being the very core of the rampage.
This sudden change in the world even caused Ao Guang to pause in his attack, looking on in surprise and doubt.
Taking advantage of the moment, Taibai grabbed Xiaohei and retreated quickly.
Regardless, the priority is to create distance and save lives.
