Chapter 672: Repression

Lady Mother of the Chariot’s appalling punch changed her state of defense into attack. It seemed that the space in front of Shen Lian was fully filled by the single strike of Lady Mother of the Chariot’s white colored crystalline punch. The space was filled to its brim.

The tightened fist fully demonstrated the great path of strength. It even had a sense of indescribable desolation.

Lady Mother of the Chariot seemed to have returned to the time where she was bestowed. Finally, she regained the demeanor she once had during her battle against the three bodhisattvas: Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang.

Shen Lian’s heart of Dao was unflustered. It was filled with the strong vital force dispersed by Lady Mother of the Chariot’s punch. Suddenly, he halted amidst his rapid retreat. A seal was formed by his pair of hands in an indescribable speed and embraced Lady Mother of the Chariot’s potent holy punch.

An appalling force exploded in Bi You Palace. The main hall was fully filled with blazing white radiance. If this happened in the outside world, every flora or rubble would be eradicated. Nothing could survive this destruction. Even the void would be annihilated.

Nevertheless, Bi You Palace was only slightly shaken. It managed to embody this terrifying explosion of Qi of vitality which was alike to a tsunami. Though Shen Lian’s spiritual shape whirled amidst the roaring waves, it was not damaged. The seal he created had changed his qualities drastically. He was gracefully celestialized and appeared like he did not belong to this world. He then merged with the initial stage of Taixu and was no longer easily harmed.

This seal represented his profound interpretation of the path of Taixu. It had defeated all of Lady Mother of the Chariot’s attacks.

The terrifying waves of Qi of vitality finally ebbed under Bi You Palace’s Dao rhythm. Lady Mother of the Chariot and Shen Lian looked at each other from afar. They both have realized that each other’s reputation was genuine and not mere rumors.

Lady Mother of the Chariot was especially astonished. Such feeling was inexpressible. She had already gathered in her body all remaining spirits of her sect to boost her energy. However, she still did not have the confidence in defeating Shen Lian.

Shen Lian smiled and said, “Daoist, if these are all the techniques you have, you might not be able to leave Bi You Palace alive.”

Lady Mother of the Chariot sniggered and said,”I was not planning to leave.”

Shen Lian sneered as the Qi of black and white gushed throughout his body. Under his feet, there were gleaming waves of light which appeared like an expansive sea. He used Jing Shu’s mana to create a Northern Underworld while Kui Li’s mana was used to create Yin and Yang. A serene bird and a Kunpeng emerged beside him, unleashing a supreme demonic force.

Jing Shu exclaimed, “He managed to utilize our mana to materialize forms through emulation. This can be compatible with the Winning Buddha’s seventy-two polymorphic transformation.”

Kui Li nodded in agreement. This indicated that Shen Lian had a deeper understanding of the inherent qualities of all things. As such, he could utilize their mana to create their demonic forms. Although these were only illusions of mana and Qi of vitality, this supernatural power was almost compatible to theirs.

Lady Mother of the Chariot stared coldly towards the odd view ahead of her. The starlight that surrounded her flowed like stardust. A small cross-legged person appeared in her eyes. That was her thoroughly tempered Primordial Spirit. Celestial tones started ringing and melodious music was played. In her eyes, numerous seals appeared and surrounded her Primordial Spirit.

This was a vision in the ‘Inner scene of Huangting’. It meant that her cultivation experience in Daoism had reached a terrifying stage.

Outside of Bi You Palace, stars of the Netherworld’s vault of heaven shone brightly.

Lady Mother of the Chariot’s celestial tone was alike to an ancient covenant. As she communicated with the stars, infinite meteors traversed the sky and descended to her side.

Shen Lian looked at this sight serenely. In accordance to the Netherworld legends, Lady Mother of the Chariot was the leader of the stars. She had once defeated all the stars apart from the moon and sun. It seemed like this was not a fabricated story.

Kunpeng and the serene bird could not sustain Lady Mother of the Chariot’s force of the amassed stars. One charged towards Lady Mother of the Chariot from the top while the other attacked her from below. They were both fearless of death given that they were merely illusions of Qi of vitality.

They collided aggressively amidst the infinite starlights. All the space in Bi You Palace was shaken and Lady Mother of the Chariot had almost stumbled over.

However, she still managed to gather the starlights orderly and started to chant an ancient syllable. Whenever each syllable was mentioned, the intensity of the starlight would increase. This made it even more difficult for the illusory demons to attack her.

Shen Lian had a stern look. Although he was not clear what form of master technique Lady Mother of the Chariot was using, he knew that he could not let her continue.

He made a step and dashed into the starlights subsequently. His mental state was firstly engulfed with scorching vital force. Out of a sudden, the vital force turned freezing cold.

Once Shen Lian waved, the illusions of Kunpeng and serene bird broke through the suppression of the starlights. They merged with Shen Lian and caused him to become increasingly tough. He seemed as archaic and distant as the mountains and rivers.

Shen Lian strode through the starlights slowly as if he had arrived in outer space and traversed through the galaxy to reach the opposite land.

Even a careless attack he made was a petrifying Dao technique. Some were as tall as the sky and could contain almost everything while some were as thick as the earth and could sustain any forms of attack; some were as explosive as the heaven’s thunderous punishment.

Lady Mother of the Chariot’s had a cold and stern mien. She also walked amongst the starlights. Apart from her continuous chant of the mysterious syllable, she released her mana at the same time and charged towards Shen Lian.

She strode with confidence and serenity. That was actually the supernatural power that could shrink the ground into inches. Based on her cultivation experience, the power would no longer be limited by distances for she could manage with any forms of range.

Shen Lian averted a lethal supernatural power from Lady Mother of the Chariot. He analyzed all of her chanted syllables within his heart of Dao explicitly. Finally, the technique of Yi churned speedily and managed to decipher its profound mysteries.

Those syllables were an interpretation of the path of Dao’s resonance. If the path of Dao was compared to a clock, Lady Mother of the Chariot’s syllables would be alike to the tones produced by the clock when it got struck.

She actually wanted to sacrifice herself to create Dao. She was determined to kill him in Bi You Palace at all cost.

Shen Lian admired her determination but he would not allow her to succeed. A scroll of painting appeared at the front of Shen Lian. It looked like an ancient ferocious creature. It opened its mouth and absorbed the infinite essence of the stars.

The painting trembled uncontrollably. Clearly, it had contained immense pressure. However, there was no hindrance in between of Shen Lian and Lady Mother of the Chariot anymore.

A Tongtian sword gleam appeared in the hands of Shen Lian. He spoke plainly, “The merciless state of Taishang, attainment of Dao through self-sacrifice. This is one of the most profound stages in the Killing Sword. I would like to invite you to have a taste of this impassive Anattā swordcraft.”

Prior to Shen Lian’s return, he had suffered through the psychological state of despair. His heart was therefore as dark and lonely as the universe. He had forgotten about himself and neglected all emotions. The sword gleam had no petrifying or glimmering divine glows. It was extremely simple where pure lights whirled like they had never changed their form since thousands of years ago.

Lady Mother of the Chariot only felt an impregnable sword force engulfing her. She was not able to chant a single syllable anymore.

Her explosive divine powers in her Spiritual Body started to subside and a widespread of coldness sprouted in her heart of Dao. Inevitably, she started to shiver.

Although the magical trick which involved the attainment of Dao through self-sacrifice was not fully performed, Lady Mother of the Chariot was too unsettled. Her spiritual body radiated infinite divine lights and transformed into a floating golden flower. It spun continuously and seemed to have the ability to cause the heaven and earth to spin accordingly.

Shen Lian’s sword gleam attacked timely. Instantly, he arrived at the locale where the golden flower was present.

With only a momentary contact, infinite energy was released and a myriad of things was transformed. This was alike to the scene when the heaven and earth were newly founded.

The last defeated golden flower erected amidst the void alone. However, the sword gleam was nowhere to be found.

Shen Lian was rather pale. Nonetheless, he still proceeded ahead without hesitation. He had transformed into a Golden Pitcher during this process. The mouth of the pitcher faced downwards and forcefully repressed the golden flower.
