Chapter 277 Taibai Saves Xiaohei
However, Kunpeng completely disregarded Taibai's threat and instead continued to unleash its demonic energy, intending to completely transform Xiaohei.
Xiao Hei was now at his wit's end; the merits he had accumulated had long been exhausted in his business dealings.
Now he could only watch helplessly as the demonic energy approached his body, unable to muster even the slightest strength to resist.
Although Taibai had arrived nearby, the speed at which the demonic energy spread was astonishing, and it was about to touch Xiaohei in the blink of an eye.
At the critical moment, a purifying divine light suddenly burst forth from Xiao Hei's body.
Immediately afterwards, a fifth-grade lotus platform slowly appeared in the void beneath his feet.
As the lotus petals unfurled, a sacred radiance rippled outwards, silently dissolving and purifying the surging demonic energy that swept across the land, leaving no trace.
Just then, Taibai's figure quietly appeared beside Xiaohei.
Xiao Hei was both surprised and delighted, his voice trembling with relief as he said:
"Master! You've finally arrived! I was almost completely annihilated just now!"
Taibai glanced at Xiaohei with annoyance.
Even if he had arrived a step later, the demonic energy wouldn't have been able to affect Xiao Hei in the slightest.
Taibai valued Xiaohei and Qingmu highly, and long ago, he planted a Pure White Lotus mark on each of them.
This mark is usually hidden and only manifests automatically when they encounter a fatal crisis, protecting their chance of survival.
Although the two golden-patterned white lotuses left by Taibai were only ranked at the fifth grade, they were more than enough to withstand a full-force attack from an ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
Moreover, the demonic energy released by Kunpeng is inherently incompatible with the purifying power of the Pure World White Lotus, making it impossible for it to penetrate the protective aura of the White Lotus.
"I never expected that Fellow Daoist Taibai would value this little black dragon so much; it far exceeds my expectations."
"I never expected that my fellow Daoist Kunpeng, who once listened to the Dao with me in Zixiao Palace, would fall to such a state... neither human nor ghost. It is truly lamentable."
The two were already at loggerheads in their conversation.
Taibai said no more, raised his hand and gestured, and a pure aura circulated around him. A ninth-grade pure white lotus appeared in his palm, and the lotus platform slowly rotated, forcing the churning demonic energy around him back several feet.
He longed to bring the true form of the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus that suppressed the fortune of Wuyi Mountain.
However, the demonic scourge in Wuyi Mountain is now severe, and the source of the demonic energy is deeply entrenched. Without continuous purification and suppression using spiritual treasures of sufficient quality, it is impossible to contain it.
After weighing the options, he had no choice but to settle for second best and bring this nine-tiered lotus platform with him.
Even so, the Pure World White Lotus's ability to suppress demonic energy is innate. Unless Kunpeng possesses the Twelfth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, this amount of demonic energy alone is simply not enough to contend with Taibai.
"Fellow Daoist, I may spare you this time today."
"But there is one thing I am truly curious about: your demonic aura is overwhelming, defying the laws of heaven, so why haven't you yet attracted the wrath of the Heavenly Dao's Purple Heaven Divine Thunder?"
Although Taibai is not afraid of Kunpeng, if the opponent is forced into a desperate situation and does not hesitate to self-destruct his demonic body, such destructive power will surely cause him serious injury even if he survives by chance.
This cost is far too high and is by no means a wise choice.
If one can discover the reason why the other party is not punished by heaven through words, it is far more valuable than fighting to the death.
Before he finished speaking, with a slight thought, the Ninth Grade Pure World White Lotus shone brightly, and a beam of Pure World Divine Light shot out, pointing directly at the place where Kunpeng was hiding.
However, the Kunpeng neither dodged nor avoided it.
He stood in the center of the churning demonic energy, and the next moment, the purifying divine light, which was enough to purify ordinary demon lords, vanished silently when it touched Kunpeng a few feet in front of him.
At the same time, beneath Kunpeng's feet, dense demonic energy surged violently, eventually transforming into a lotus platform base.
It was not a pure white or golden lotus, but a deep, dark purplish-black lotus.
On the lotus petals, demonic patterns flowed, exuding a terrifying Daoist aura of destruction and annihilation.
As it rotates silently, it subtly distorts the surrounding space.
Taibai's pupils suddenly contracted, and he immediately recognized it as the innate spiritual treasure that had disappeared for countless eons, the twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus.
"retreat!"
Without any hesitation, Taibai's expression changed drastically. He let out a low shout, rolled up his sleeves to pick up Xiao Hei, who was still in shock, and retreated hundreds of feet, instantly widening the distance between himself and the purple-black lotus.
The twelfth-grade lotus platform is already of a higher grade than the ninth-grade lotus platform, and the Black Lotus of Annihilation possesses immense destructive power.
If one possessed a spiritual treasure such as the Twelfth Grade Pure World White Lotus or the Golden Lotus of Merit, one might be able to contend with it, but this Ninth Grade Pure World White Lotus would be absolutely unstoppable.
Moreover, his understanding of the World-Destroying Black Lotus was limited, and he was unaware of its true power. Retreating was the best course of action at this moment.
Furthermore, he made a bold guess about the Kunpeng before him: the Kunpeng of today may no longer be the Kunpeng of the past.
"I truly did not expect that Fellow Daoist Taibai could escape so quickly; it is truly astonishing!"
Kunpeng stood atop the twelfth-grade black lotus of world destruction, raised his right hand, and reached out to grab at the air where Taibai was, but grasped at nothing.
Realizing his attack had failed, Kunpeng's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he asked in a deep voice:
"Fellow Daoist, I never expected that the God-Slaying Spear wasn't on you, but I did sense its power from you."
"Little Black, leave this place immediately, don't linger. Go to the Heavenly Court and find Greenwood, and tell Greenwood to be careful too!"
Knowing that he was only a burden, Xiao Hei nodded and transformed into a streak of light, speeding towards the Heavenly Court.
Taibai then summoned his Gengjin longsword.
He sensed that the Kunpeng before him was only at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm.
Using the talismans bestowed by the Heavenly Emperor to deal with this would be a waste of resources, so the Geng Metal Longsword was chosen.
This Gengjin longsword is a top-grade merit treasure, containing thousands of merits as vast as the sea, and has a natural suppressive power against the demon race.
"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, I have a question to ask you: are you Kunpeng or Rahu now?"
Furthermore, regarding the previous question, I hope you will answer truthfully.
However, Kunpeng shrugged and smiled, then moved to control the World-Destroying Black Lotus and summoned the Demon Master's Palace to attack Taibai.
Without the slightest hesitation, Taibai first covered his body with all the remaining merits within him and blessed the Pure World White Lotus, and then faced Kunpeng.
This attack was by no means a test. Kunpeng poured most of his power into the Demon Master Palace, while Taibai attached all the Five Elements Laws and various supernatural powers to the Gengjin Longsword.
The Demon Master Palace and the Gengjin Longsword, two top-tier spiritual treasures, clashed violently, unleashing a deafening roar.
Neither of them gained the upper hand, and both were forced back by the impact.
Kunpeng was also surprised, as he had not expected that his cultivation at the peak of Quasi-Saint level would result in a draw with Taibai.
Even with the suppression of the Geng metal longsword, it shouldn't be like this.
"I underestimated Fellow Daoist Taibai; he actually possesses such strength."
However, you are only relying on the advantages of these magical treasures. Without them, you would probably be beheaded long ago.
