Infinite Professions

Chapter 438: Chapter 225: Success Achieved

Life and death illusion, slaughter and extinction.

From life to death, from death to life.

In an instant, a myriad of swords reincarnated, forming a tribulation vortex, enveloping the two True Gods. Then, numerous phenomena appeared: earth, wind, fire, and water, sun, moon, and stars, fiercely intertwining around the two gods.

"What is this divine technique?"

"It seems to contain the principle of reincarnation and annihilation!"

"When did this person gain control of reincarnation authority?"

"This is dire!"

Within the reincarnation vortex, the two struggled to hold on, as divine power flowed away like water, showing signs of impending collapse.

This sword of reincarnation, combined with the authority of the divine dao, commanded the Power of Heaven and Earth, its might being extremely formidable even within the Tier Nine rank.

In contrast, though both were Fourth-Grade True Gods, also of Tier Nine rank, their authority was lost. Under the suppression of heaven and earth, their rank was faltering, their strength less than half of their peak period.

This was still the result of their convening the Grand Celestial Sacrifice and the Waterway Dharma Assembly.

If not for the support of this grand ritual power, they would be in an even more desperate state, with their lives hanging by a thread.

Facing such a dire situation, the two knew in their hearts they could no longer hold back. Otherwise, today might lead to their demise, their very forms and spirits obliterated.

"We must fight!"

Qingping shouted fiercely, struggling to stand, and took out an object, which turned out to be a green apricot.

The apricot was round and emitted a green light, vaguely embodying wind and thunder, precisely the treasured Wind Thunder Apricot of Qingping Temple!

The mystery of the divine dao, commanding the heavens and subduing the earth, forms authority, creating miraculous transformations.

Such authority could not only be used in battle but applied in various ways, including establishing dao fields, refining magical weapons, cultivating Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, and many others, showcasing its comprehensive utility.

This Wind Thunder Apricot was thus cultivated, nurtured by Qingping, a Fourth-Grade True God, with divine power and the incense fire of Qingping Temple, transforming a pear tree over ten thousand years into a miracle, promoting it to a Fourth-Grade Spiritual Root.

Indeed, a Fourth-Grade Spiritual Root!

Just like deities, these Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, artifacts, and blades nurtured by divine power authority also have grades, akin to a different take on the Hundred Skills of Cultivation, Alchemy Techniques, Artifact Techniques, spirit plant beast taming.

As the treasure of Qingping Temple, this Fourth-Grade Spiritual Root blooms once every thousand years, bears fruit every thousand years, and matures every thousand years. Therefore, after three thousand years, four Wind Thunder Apricots can be harvested.

This apricot can be used for alchemy or directly consumed; its effect is no less than a Tier Nine Spiritual Pill of the Immortal Dao, containing Wind Thunder Power and the opportunity of life and death, able to substitute for authority to unleash Gang Wind Divine Thunder.

Qingping swallowed it, and suddenly thunder surged around him, allowing him to withstand the grinding of the reincarnation vortex.

But mere resistance was far from enough.

"Master, assist me!"

Qingping shouted, lifted his hands to his chest, and thunder roared above his palms, which condensed into a divine artifact.

It was a Jade Order, inscribed with Daoist talismans and Five Thunder commands, precisely the treasured Five Thunders Celestial Master’s Order of Qingping!

This order was obtained ten thousand years ago when Qingping, not yet a god, acquired it from the ancestor courtyard "Huagai Mountain" of the Celestial Heart Sect and was a transmission artifact of Tianxin Sect.

Qingping, holding this order, established the Qingping Temple’s dao lineage in Jinyang. After his death, he further designated this order as his Lifebound Divine Artifact, infusing it with a vast amount of incense fire and endless divine power for ritual refinement. Up to today, it also ranks as Fourth-Grade.

Although it is also Fourth-Grade, as a Lifebound Divine Artifact, the efficacy of this Five Thunders Celestial Master’s Order far surpasses that of the Wind Thunder Apricot, marking it as the mountain’s most treasured power of Qingping Temple.

Deep within a perilous position, Qingping dared not hold back, directly brandishing the order and further urging the Five Thunders True Method.

Suddenly...

"Boom!!!"

Lightning flashed, and thunder roared as Qingping raised the Five Thunders Celestial Master’s Order, and the Five Thunder Divine Generals reappeared around him to protect him, each wielding lethal weapons to unleash thunder power, aiming to shatter the reincarnation vortex.

Qingping did so, and so did Huide, who first swallowed a lotus seed and then manifested a Third-Grade Lotus Platform underfoot, golden in hue, radiant like a proud sun, also containing the opportunity of life and death with a hint of Nirvana undertone, precisely the Great Sun Golden Lotus, the treasure of Donglian Temple.

With all power unleashed without reservation, Huide chanted a Buddha name, urging the Great Divine Techniques, as the Great Sun Golden Lotus bloomed, emitting a great solar divine light, in tandem with Qingping’s Five Thunders power to break this reincarnation vortex.

Such an assault had returned to its peak, reviving the might of Fourth-Grade True Gods.

However...

Shen Hex remained unfazed, merely augmented the divine power, and suddenly blade and sword beams erupted. Two silhouettes materialized alongside his true form, one clad in black robes like a wildfire sweeping the plains, wielding chaotic blade light, the other in white robes like a cold moon illuminating the night, summoning sharp, icy sword beams.

One blade, one sword; one black, one white; one life, one extinction; one immortal, one demon.

Thus, wildfire surged, cold moon illuminated, and blade and sword intersected.

"Boom!!!"

At the moment the blade and sword collided, the heavens and earth resounded with a boom, and the void shattered, Yin and Yang of Yin and Yang transformed into Innate Qi, opening a peculiar realm. The array manifested six gates, life and death illusion, Yin and Yang of Darklight, severing the void and sealing heaven and earth.

"Not good!!!"

Huide’s expression changed, and Qingping exclaimed, urgently propelling the Great Sun Golden Lotus and the Five Thunders Celestial Master’s Order, transforming into thunder fire light to flee, but it was a step too late. The Yin Yang Dust solidified, the array established, the void severed, the heavens sealed; their figures were swallowed and concealed.

"Master!"

"Venerable?"

Witnessing this scene, the followers of Qingping Daoist Sect and the monks of Donglian Temple could not help but cry out, staring in shock toward the sky.

The sky was clear, with no trace of the three Venerable Gods, leaving only a streak of clear air stretching across the void, resembling a blade scar, a sword mark, like Innate Qi.

It was the Yin Yang Dust Array!

The Taiyuan Body, after arduous cultivation for a thousand years, had thoroughly mastered this array.

Although Shen Hex lacked the apparatus for array arrangement like Purple and Cyan Dao Demon, with divine dao authority in hand, he could summon all laws of heaven and earth. He could still form this array, and even more exquisitely so, despite Qingping and Huide’s utmost efforts, spurring the Five Thunders Celestial Master’s Order and Great Sun Golden Lotus, they were still sealed within the array, unable to escape.
