Shen Lian merely smiled. It would be true to say the ninth level of the Yin Devilry Incantation of Asura was powerful, but calling it invincible would be an exaggeration.
After all, the so-called highest level nine was the mergence with the Nine Underworlds. Even if it was real, the strongest it could be was also within the limitations of the Nine Underworlds. Now that Shen Lian had achieved Taiyi and walking on the path of forming heaven and earth, that, was the real definition of limitless possibilities. Every flora in this world, every leaf and Bodhi was also formed through this path. Taishang Laojun also made the spectacular move of forming universe with dust. All these showed that there was no way of transcending the laws of heaven and earth.
A moment later, the Yuan Guang Retrace dissipated, so Shen Lian could not continue any longer.
With the possession of brilliant eyesight, he still managed to spot a trace of unusualness from the vision earlier. He said,
The black mist seemed to be losing its own maneuverability for a self-cultivated incantation. That seems rather strange.

Chang Shengzi nodded,
What great eyesight you have, fellow Daoist brother. Let us find the other tracks and make our plans later.



Suddenly, Shen Lian’s eyes squinted slightly and calmly replied,
There is no need to look for it, it is planning to eat us clean.

In a flash, Chang Shengzi could not see where Shen Lian was. Thick layers of black mist emerged from the whole village and blocked all sources of light.
Not only Shen Lian, even his divine thoughts were consumed by an extremely horrifying devilry aura, cutting all contacts with his Primordial Spirit.
With years of cultivation, Chang Shengzi immediately knew that the Yin Devilry Incantation of Asura was mastered to its ultimate high, so powerful that even his Pure Yang Primordial Spirit could barely withstand it.
He emitted a strange note which then transformed into a warm breeze that scattered away from the black mist of Devilry aura around him. He was finally able to see his surroundings as far as ten nautical feet, but Shen Lian was nowhere to be seen.
Chang Shengzi felt strange since Shen Lian’s prowess was ten times better than him, he would not be so easily defeated and disappear without any trace.
At this instant, a lamp lighted up and dispersed much of the black mist. The man and woman who were accompanying Shen Lian earlier walked towards him with a flustered expression.
Chang Shengzi walked up to join them. He finally saw clearly that the woman had a lotus flower-shaped lantern in her hand, glowing slightly which seemed to be holding up the black mist a little and was protecting them.
Chang Shengzi asked,
Where is Zhenren Qing Xuan?

After meeting up with Chang Shengzi, Ah Lian’s resistance to the black mist strengthened, and she finally let her guard down slightly,
It was too sudden, I, too, do not know what was happening.



Jiu Yue originated from a demon butterfly, so he was extremely sensitive to the aura of demons and devils. He could clearly sense the hint of devilry aura in the black mist, which made him extremely fearful and had zero intent to fight against it.
Suddenly, a quick shadow flashed through and hopped towards Jiu Yue. A crisp swing of the sword was heard as it landed a merciless blow on the shadow. Blood was seen splattering into the void and lighted up the lotus lamp flame.
Chang Shengzi said with a serious expression
This is the killing spirit from the Yin Devilry Incantation of Asura. It shows no trace and moves faster than the flying sword of any celestial sword. It is also very deadly, so you all must focus fully on it.

Chang Shengzi had faced many dangerous situations in his life, but he felt rather tied up this time, as the killing spirit rose and disappeared together with the killing aura of the Yin Devilry Incantation of Asura. As long as the killing aura was still present, the killing spirits could never be completely exterminated.
What was more terrifying was that even if these killing spirits were beaten off, they would merely return to the killing aura, not causing any damage to it.
He subconsciously looked at the lotus lantern in Ah Lian’s hand and could not help but be impressed with this instrument which was able to completely exterminate those killing aurae.
In comparison to the situation of Chang Shengzi and the rest, Shen Lian was clearly in a less harrowing state, as he went underground below the village, but not exactly under the ground. That was a rather large space, with a measurement of ten thousand feet from top to bottom. At the core of it was an ancient well, with a dried-up corpse of a monk lying beside it. A notice paper was seen attached on top of the well, with six words written on it: Ong, Ma, Ni, Bei, Mei, Hong.
The paper was secured tightly on the face of the well, emitting golden rays. It was seen to be continuously attacked by a fierce killing aura, which was then dispersed as black mist.
In the knowledge of Shen Lian, he was able to recognize the origin of these words. The six words were also called the Six-Character Great Bright Mantra, which too was the Mantra of Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. This mantra had the blessings from various gods, an audio symbol of their compassion and wisdom. Its content was amazingly rich, serene and filled with the grand potential, wisdom, and capability of the universe. In Buddhism, the Profound Heart Seal of Bodhisattva possessed limitless and boundless merit, which was well praised by other gods.
More importantly, this mantra inherited the path of Buddha, so it was considered as Bodhisattva’s deduction after hearing his teachings, so it would be equivalent to Buddha’s sermon as well.


Everyone could learn, write and read this mantra, but to use this mantra to suppress such a powerful demon, one must require the merit prowess as high as Bodhisattva. It was also possible that this seal was written by Bodhisattva herself.
Suddenly, a baby’s crying was heard. A tiny demon creature which was shaped like a rabbit with long pointy ears, a foot-long body, and its tail which had a crying baby hanging on it, was climbing up from the edge of the well. It peeked its head out, but it was shielded by the golden light, so it could not leave the well completely.
This baby’s hair was only an inch long. Its eyes were like black gems, its face features were refined, and its skin silky smooth. It was biting on its fingers and was grabbing the creature’s tail with its other hand. It was an adorable sight.
However, in the current situation, this scene looked extremely weird.
Shen Lian moved his divine thoughts; the black mist in that dimension began to flow towards the red cinnabar at between his eyebrows. Within a breath, those black mists were completely absorbed into it, and Shen Lian could finally sense the slight growth in the seed of heaven and earth.
Going at the pace, the seedling would only grow in donkey years.

Did your teacher not teach you to respect your elders and teachers? How can you not pay your respect to me?
These were the words of the one-foot tall creature.
Shen Lian smiled,
I think you have gotten this wrong. I do not know who you are.


Are you not ordered to save me here?
The little creature looked up with its expression suddenly turning violent.
Shen Lian replied,
Looks like you have misunderstood.




Hmph, I don’t care whether you have come to save me or not. You have the imprint of the purest Shang Qing Primordial Spirit on you. That cannot be faked, so you should at least call my uncle-master!
the creature sounded like an angry old man.
Shen Lian said calmly,
This is interesting. So you are from the Order of Jie. However, you have just consumed the flesh and essence of a whole village. This is literally an act of a demon, not of a pure Daoist. This makes us non-related even for a bit. I will not address you as uncle-master of any sort.

Little creature said coldly,
You even mastered the killing sword. I do not believe you have never killed any person at will. Moreover, I was only trying to escape from my entrapment. If I do not kill those mortal peasants, they are still the little specks of dust in the Six Realms.

Its tone turned even more vicious,
A few years ago, this monk here, this fellow killed even more than a village worth of people. I killed him to enforce the justice of the heaven; this should redeem back whatever sin I committed here.
