80 Years Of Signing-In At The Cold Palace, I Am Unrivalled - Chapter 150
Chapter 150: End of the Phase
The reason why Monk Shengyun escaped with the monks of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower was that he wanted to keep them alive.
This demonic den was already very terrifying in the previous era.
It was connected to hell, the demonic creatures that would emerge from this cave were definitely powerful, to say the least.
Even the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower couldn’t suppress it.
It could only watch from the side, keeping its guard against any demonic creature that might come out.
Fortunately, a mummy appeared out of nowhere and suppressed this demonic den.
The group of demonic creatures inside erupted and shook the heavens, but they were still no match for the mummy.
But with the end of an era, the spiritual energy of the world receded.
The world of great competition quietly moved away.
Many people also chose to seal themselves, knowing that they were unable to compete with the heavens nor reverse the receding tide of spiritual energy.
The mummy was no exception.
Its awe-inspiring might quietly disappeared.
Of course, the demonic den remained sealed, the demonic creatures inside also didn’t brute force their way out.
But now, Monk Shengyun moved the mummy and threw it aside.
Then, he turned around and walked deep into the cave, where he saw the demonic den.
When Buddha could no longer save them and their hearts became chaotic, they would fall into the demonic path.
Monk Shengyun was filled with excitement.
He wanted to unseal this demonic den!
He wanted to become a demon in this mortal realm!
He stretched out his hand, wanting to unseal the demonic den right at this instant.
The group of monks behind him watched in excitement.
They were all looking forward to the unsealing of the demonic den, the emergence of the demonic creatures inside, and the chaos in the mortal realm that would certainly follow afterwards.
But when his hand touched the seal that resembled boiling magma…
His body stiffened.
His eyes widened.
Behind him, the look on the group of monks’ faces instantly changed.
They looked terrified as if Buddha himself had descended in front of them.
The reality was that it wasn’t Buddha—a figure descended with a beautiful cat in his arms.
He reached out and gently placed his hand on Monk Shengyun’s shoulder.
Boom!
A streak of True Qi burst out.
It manifested into a terrifyingly sharp sword that silently entered Monk Shengyun’s body.
Monk Shengyun’s body was blasted into smithereens.
His Divine Soul bore the brunt of the attack.
His body stiffened, his eyes dilated, and his body fell straight down.
Boom!
Monk Shengyun’s body smashed onto the seal.
The seal that looked like boiling magma instantly devoured him.
His body fell into the demonic den and he entered the legendary world of hell.
Lin Jiufeng said calmly, “You lot won’t be able to become a demon in the mortal realm anymore, but at least your corpses will be able to enter hell.”
“You… You… You’re that powerhouse?” A monk pointed at Lin Jiufeng in horror.
“Congratulations, you’re right.” Lin Jiufeng turned around and congratulated him with a smile.
The smile scared the monks so much that their legs seemed to have turned into jelly.
Their faces turned pale.
Thump!
A monk knelt directly in front of Lin Jiufeng and sobbed. “Senior, I was deceived by that old demon Shengyun! I lost myself to greed! I know that my sins are grave, but please spare my life. I will work hard to do good deeds and repay this sin for the rest of my life.”
“There’s no need for that. I understand your heart. You are just an ordinary person who likes to kill, commit evil and violate the laws of this land. Yes, you are a great monk. Get up,” Lin Jiufeng said gently.
The monk looked at Lin Jiufeng, dumbfounded.
Why couldn’t he understand whether his words were good or bad?
“Come! All of you stand in a row!”
“Don’t you all like to become demons in the mortal realm? I’ll fulfill your wishes. I’ll immediately open the seal and let you all go down to hell.” Lin Jiufeng added.
The monks trembled, not wanting to listen to Lin Jiufeng.
They wanted to resist!
Their Divine Souls communicated with each other!
They looked at each other!
They encouraged each other!
They…
They saw Lin Jiufeng directly stepping down.
The magma-like seal directly split open, and the surging magma inside directly smashed down.
Rumble!
Wild demonic energy rushed up.
This demonic energy was hundreds of times more violent and dense than the one in both the Dalin Temple and the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.
The sight of it alone was enough to petrify anyone.
The hearts of the monks trembled as they hurriedly tried to escape.
But they couldn’t escape.
Lin Jiufeng directly took out the Jiangnan Hundred Ghost Portrait.
The Jiangnan Hundred Ghost Portrait unfurled. It depicted in it—a portrait with mountains and vibrant waters. The scenery inside was beautiful, to say the least.
But the monks didn’t manage to admire the scene…
The painting immediately absorbed them before it spat them back out—this time—into the demonic den.
Rumble!
The surging demonic energy rushed up and the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait directly unfurled.
It absorbed the demonic energy and spat it back into the demonic den along with the monks.
In the blink of an eye, the monks were no more.
At this moment, no more commotion existed aside from the struggle between the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait and the surging demonic energy of the demonic den.
The demonic cultivators and creatures from hell seemed to have sensed the removal of the seal in the demonic den.
They collectively rushed out in excitement.
All of them bared their fangs and brandished their claws.
Each of them had terrifying might and stature—they were all about to enter the mortal realm.
But the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait immediately suppressed the demonic den.
Similar to what happened at both the Dalin Temple and the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, the demonic creatures and cultivators collided against the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait and were instantly killed by the latter.
Lin Jiufeng and the white cat watched this scene quietly.
“This demonic den is connected to hell. Since you’ve done this, you won’t be able to take the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait away.” The white cat suddenly spoke up.
This demonic den was different from the Dalin Temple and the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower. The demonic dens in those locations only had a fixed number of demonic creatures.
In short, the demonic creatures in those places weren’t endless.
It was because those demonic dens weren’t connected to hell.
But this one here was connected to hell…
Thus, the demonic creatures inside of it were endless.
Lin Jiufeng broke the seal and without its existence, the demonic creatures and cultivators inside would be able to come out the moment Lin Jiufeng took away the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait.
“Since I am the one who broke the seal, I naturally won’t take away the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait.” Lin Jiufeng reassured.
“The Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait has been a great help to me, but at the same time, it’s also dispensable. After all, it’s incomplete and it still has to absorb more demonic creatures to recover. It’s best if I left it here. I won’t take it away with me.” Lin Jiufeng added.
With his capabilities, the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait was only akin to adding icing to a cake.
It didn’t matter even if he didn’t have the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Painting.
Because he was powerful enough!
“I shall leave the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait here and let it absorb the demonic creatures inside so it could fully recover. When the time comes, this immortal artifact will still be mine, so there’s no need for me to take it away so soon.” Lin Jiufeng stated.
The white cat replied, “That works too. The demonic creatures in the Jiangnan area can be considered to be more or less wiped out then.”
Lin Jiufeng nodded. “Yes, more or less…”
“There’s no need for me to take action for some of the small demonic dens. Let the officials in Jiangnan send a few powerhouses of their own to handle them.”
Emperor De was worried that the situation in Jiangnan would deteriorate.
Thus, he asked Lin Jiufeng for help.
After Lin Jiufeng came to Jiangnan, he resolved the situation in the Jiangnan area.
After just a few days, he vanquished the demonic creatures and returned the original warmth and peace of the Jiangnan area.
“I’ll take you on a tour of the Jiangnan area next, what do you think?” Lin Jiufeng reached out to stroke the white cat.
“You have to keep your word. You mustn’t let other things interrupt us again.”
The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng with her starry eyes.
“Don’t worry…”
“Even if Emperor De was about to be assassinated, I won’t go back to save him, okay?”
Lin Jiufeng laughed and reassured the white cat.
“That’s more like it,” the white cat said in satisfaction.
“But if Emperor De was really about to be assassinated, you must go back and save him.”
The white cat added.
