The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 865 - 401: Fengdu Emperor Palace (Part 2)

With a thought, he summoned the Dragon Girl and gave her a few instructions. Then the Dragon Girl broke off a willow branch from the Bodhisattva and departed from Taixu.

As she left, Nezha's cries echoed from the purification bottle.

"Bodhisattva, if you don't let me out, I'm going to pee in your bottle."

"Shancai Child, Samadhi True Fire!" The Bodhisattva paid no heed and instructed a red-clothed child beside him.

…

…

"Your Excellency, this is the entrance to the Fengdu Emperor Palace." Even as the God of the Underworld, the Fengdu City God couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat at this moment.

The Daoist before him was remarkable, even managing to fend off a manifestation of the True Monarch Xiansheng.

It's just as well, his City God Mansion has finally been reclaimed.

Without the City God Mansion, what kind of City God would he be?

However, the True Monarch is not someone easy to deal with either.

The Fengdu City God had prepared ample human and etiquette resources to bribe Judge Cui and seek a quick transfer.

There used to be the Fengdu Emperor in Fengdu City, making the position of City God a bitter post, but after the Fengdu Emperor disappeared, it became a coveted position.

However, now with this celestial being nearby Fengdu City, combined with the matter of the True Monarch Xiansheng, the position of Fengdu City God has undoubtedly become a hot potato.

He's such a clever ghost deity, how could he possibly stay here obediently?

Leave!

Yet when Immortal Xu inquired about the Fengdu Emperor Palace, the old City God didn't conceal anything but instead was devoted and thorough.

Xu Qing glanced at the Emperor Palace before him and smiled, "Thank you, Your Excellency. Should you wish to transfer to another place, here is a letter I wrote to Judge Cui. He will give me face."

The Fengdu City God took the letter, his heart filled with joy.

With Xu Qing's endorsement, the matter would be settled.

After all, in the Underworld, might makes right.

Right now, who in the Underworld has more influence than Immortal Xu?

This letter is something to use quickly.

The Underworld is like a commode, with the flag changing atop the city wall as a common occurrence.

If one day Immortal Xu is ousted, this letter will be nothing more than kindling.

So with just a letter, the Fengdu City God was sent away.

Xu Qing looked at the Emperor Palace before him and said to the slender black Divine Dog beside him, "Divine General, can we go in?"

Within the Fengdu Emperor Palace, there was an Emperor Robe left by the Emperor, crucial for entering the All Heavens Life and Death Wheel.

Xu Qing was quite cautious, deciding not to head directly to the All Heavens Life and Death Wheel without first obtaining the Emperor Robe. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The slender black Divine Dog replied, "Inside the Emperor Palace, there are four layers of Hell. As long as we break through them, we can reach the core of the Fengdu Emperor Palace."

"Then let's proceed."

…

…

Xu Qing and the slender black Divine Dog entered the Emperor Palace.

The scene before them suddenly transformed.

It was an enormous hall, perhaps thousands or even tens of thousands of miles wide, with ancient bronze floor tiles beneath their feet exuding a primitive aura.

Suddenly, black Qi erupted, swirling violently, and a ghostly silhouette rapidly expanded, reaching heights of tens of thousands of feet in an instant, embodying the transformation of Fatian Xiangdi, clad in an exceptionally heavy black armor, with a face hidden beneath a helmet, exuding a sense of grand might and weightiness.

With its arrival, even the space showed signs of tearing apart.

"This is a puppet forged by the Fengdu Emperor from the fallen Giant Spirit God of the Ancient Heavenly Court. It has absorbed the Nine Nether Qi in the Underworld for countless years, and its strength is perhaps not inferior to its heyday," the slender black Divine Dog revealed the identity of the giant god before them.

The Giant Spirit God, employing the transformation of Fatian Xiangdi, stood like a Divine Mountain supporting the sky and the earth. Before it, Xu Qing and the slender black Divine Dog seemed insignificant as mosquitoes. With a punch, a mighty pressure emanated, compressing the Heaven and Earth Laws further as fragments of space shattered, dark sky revealing void black gashes, embodying a sense of destruction and terror directly impacting the heart, truly dimming Heaven and Earth.

Xu Qing felt as if he were within a confined, oppressive small world with only himself, feeling solitary, helpless, its walls gradually collapsing, challenging his ability to escape or resist.

Within him, the slight movement of Yin Yang Qi immediately caused the Tai Chi Diagram to rotate, suppressing these distracting thoughts.

Now, Xu Qing resembled a towering tree, with countless Yin Demons and even Heavenly Demons trying to take root in him, poised to emerge and wildly absorb the essence of his being as nourishment whenever Xu Qing encountered troubles.

However, Xu Qing's Yin Yang Qi could shred all things to their origin, including Yin Demons and Heart Demons, obliterating them without fail.

These entities, instead of gaining, inadvertently became nourishment for Xu Qing's cultivation.

But the Giant Spirit God before him wasn't so easily dispatched.

This was the Fengdu Emperor Palace, Xu Qing essentially entered the realm where the Fengdu Emperor had been taking root for eternity, his Great Dao naturally restrained, while the Giant Spirit God was blessed with the Fengdu Emperor's Great Dao.

This waxing and waning!

Yet Xu Qing, unafraid even of the True Monarch Xiansheng, certainly felt no fear of the Giant Spirit God.

Confronting the Giant Spirit God's pressure, Xu Qing lightly uttered a single word, "Ru."

This was the first note of slaughter from the Taiyi Era, marking the advent of Heaven and Earth.

Moreover, it was a Divine Skill that mysteriously manifested through the bronze mirror after his Five Elements Origin was pilfered by the True Monarch.

This "Ru" carried incredibly potent slaughtering power with boundless potential.

And the fist of the Giant Spirit God, wrapped in Nine Nether Yin Thunder, thunderously fell. Even before the fist reached, 360 Fengdu Emperor Seals manifested in the void, each suppressing a tributary of the Yellow Springs.

As Xu Qing's footing on the bronze ground began to crack, torrents of Netherworld Evil Qi accumulated over thousands of years erupted from the fissures.

The primordial sound of slaughter from the "Ru" reverberated throughout the Emperor Palace, surprisingly condensing into tangible Chaos Waves before Xu Qing.

The Fengdu Emperor Seals on the Giant Spirit God's fist intersected with the waves, their explosive shockwaves clearing all Netherworld Evil Qi within a hundred miles, revealing mysterious scriptures engraved on the bronze tiles below.

"Crack."

The Giant Spirit God's right arm armor fractured with web-like fissures, revealing the Ziwei Star Sand flowing within.

This Star Sand was originally the supreme protective treasure granted to Divine Generals by the Ancient Heavenly Court, yet now under the innate sound of slaughter, it fell away in a rustle.

Seizing the opportunity, Xu Qing formed a sword with his fingers, Yin Yang Qi emanating from his Dantian, transforming into a black-and-white duo of dragons spiraling toward the puppet's joints.

"Roar!"

The Giant Spirit God roared skyward, its fragmented Emperor Seals reassembled into the silhouette of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc.

As the Reincarnation Disc spun, 18 layers of Hell emerged beneath Xu Qing's feet, manifesting Sword Mountain and Fire Sea into tangible lethal arrays.

The slender black Divine Dog ignited Mystic Fire all over its body, setting the Giant Spirit God ablaze: "Daoist, beware, this is the Fengdu Emperor's Six Paths Prison Suppression Array!"

Unyielding, Xu Qing manifested Five-Colored Divine Light soaring skyward from behind. As Green Light swept across the Sword Mountain, Mystic Iron Blades transformed entirely into peach wood; Red Light skimmed the Fire Sea, Nine Netherworld Flames turned into Samadhi True Fire; Yellow Light suppressed the hellscape, Black Light devoured the Reincarnation Disc, White Light targeting the brow of the Giant Spirit God.

During the Five Elements Reincarnation, the battle array's foundation suddenly collapsed.

The puppet body of the Giant Spirit God disintegrated abruptly, transforming into the phantoms of a hundred thousand celestial soldiers.

The combined All Heaven Star Formation formed by these celestial soldiers bore a resemblance of seven-tenths to the methods of the True Monarch Xiansheng.

With a faint smile, Xu Qing triggered the explosive power of the golden aspect of his Inner Five Elements Dao, manifesting into countless chains pinning the celestial soldier phantoms in the void.

Subsequently, the Yin Yang Grinding Disc emerged, directly obliterating these celestial soldiers.

"Divine General, we have passed this level," Xu Qing stood with hands clasped behind him, offering a slight smile.

The slender black Divine Dog retracted the Mystic Fire from its body, expressing admiration.

This Immortal Xu Qing increasingly exuded the grace of those Ancient Taos.

"Daoist, the subsequent three levels are not to be underestimated; be mindful," remarks the slender black Divine Dog.

Curious, Xu Qing inquires, "Divine General, without me, how were you planning to navigate through the daunting challenges of this Emperor Palace?"

The slender black Divine Dog, embarrassed: "My method, Daoist, wouldn't suit you."

Perceiving its hesitation and possible embarrassment, Xu Qing, though curious, refrains from questioning. Smiling, he says, "Should the later challenges prove too troublesome, stalling me, feel free to proceed on your own, Divine General."

"Rest assured, Daoist. The Emperor Robe, I'd only borrow it, never to seize," vows the slender black Divine Dog.

Waving dismissively, Xu Qing asserts, "No need to worry, Divine General. I am here to broaden my knowledge; the outcome is of no consequence."

The way of the Yin Yang Five Elements and the Path of Taiyi lies in encompassing all things; the more he witnesses, the more he comprehends, the stronger Xu Qing becomes.
