Chapter 537: Chapter 417: Battle Against the Second-Grade God (4K)

Deep in the valley, a mist hovered.

Within the valley, the many young disciples who entered this Trial Valley were already in grave danger.

A peculiar layer of purple fog pervaded the valley.

The fog emanated such that the disciples unknowingly began to grow restless, with murderous intent blazing within their hearts, and emotions and desires burgeoning endlessly from their core, making the good more virtuous and the evil more nefarious.

Various wicked thoughts began to unravel.

And almost simultaneously.

Zhang Jian and Bai Liying stepped inside, and at this moment on the outskirts of the valley, the disciples of the Huafeng Sect suddenly appeared as if their bodies were frozen, their eyes delayed.

This was the time freeze from the "Nine-Turns Wishing Wheel Sutra."

Having locked onto the clues, Zhang Jian immediately took action.

This invisible light flowed, like a torrent deep into the Trial Valley, simultaneously causing the young men and women who were in mutual slaughter to cease their violence.

Bai Liying followed beside Zhang Jian, her gaze falling within the valley, witnessing many girls whose clothes were already torn, a strong chill flashing in her eyes.

"Taiyin Ice Soul!"

She formed a dharma seal with her hands, an invisible cold light swirling from her surroundings, like a torrent flowing into the valley, attempting to awaken the blazing desires in the eyes of these young men and women.

However, to Bai Liying’s surprise, her Taiyin Ice Soul Divine Light Technique passed over them, yet the desire in their eyes remained unaltered.

"Your Majesty, how can this be?"

Gazing at this scene, Bai Liying’s jade-like face showed some surprise.

Zhang Jian’s eyes shone with divine light, and he laughed.

"Princess, your understanding of this dharma gate is still somewhat shallow. If these disciples were simply beguiled by some ordinary magic, they would surely be awakened by your Taiyin Ice Soul Divine Light. However, what they are experiencing is not a common magic but a lure from the demonic qi from beyond, absorbed within their bodies. Unless you can purify the demonic qi within them, you cannot expel their wicked thoughts!"

"To deal with such demonic qi from beyond, you must use magic to awaken their true hearts. You need to utilize the Cyan Lotus Soul Purification Spell!"

As Zhang Jian raised his hand, countless cyan lights formed.

With a wave, countless purple qi was dispersed by sacred, serene celestial music, and strands of cyan divine light fell like lightning upon the young men and women.

Visibly, clusters of cyan lotuses seemed to coalesce in the depths of their Mud Ball Palace.

From within the depths of the cyan lotus, a vast power of light surged into their souls, wisps of terrifying purple fog flying out from within.

The countless purple mist, as if startled, transformed into a purple torrent that converged towards a certain place deep within the valley.

Their figures like flowing light, the two instantly followed.

There they saw countless purple mist, like the sea returning to the Gui Xu, pouring into the mountainside. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

There, on the mountainside, was a stone grotto shrouded in grandeur, housing divine statues with stern and solemn expressions.

They resembled Outer World Buddhas, each stern and solemn, some seated cross-legged on a lotus platform with three heads and eight arms.

Others stood on lotus platforms, surrounded by countless flames, their demeanor mighty.

Some formed dharma seals before them, their eyes exuding compassion.

In total, there were a dozen divine statues.

"Is this actually an Ancient Buddhist Temple?"

Gazing at the dozen solemn statues within the grotto, Bai Liying was visibly surprised.

This was beyond her imagination.

She knew that even in the Two Realms Region, the Buddhist dao lineage was considered niche and highly rejected. Only a few Buddhist dao lineages like Spirit Mountain Temple and Chao Yin Temple could establish themselves due to their unique heritage.

"Throughout history, demons always love to borrow the names of gods and Buddhas!"

Zhang Jian chuckled: "There’s always a peculiar thrill in doing evil under someone else’s name!"

"Demon, is that not so?"

He gazed with a smile at the space above the ancient temple, where at this moment, the central divine statue opened its eyes.

Like a supremely majestic ’Holy Buddha’ manifesting in the world.

In an instant, a grand, awe-inspiring divine light streamed forth.

"Audacious mortal, how dare you desecrate the gods and Buddhas, you deserve to be condemned to the Eighteen Layers of Hell!"

A cold voice flowed forth from within, as if ten thousand zhang of purple qi descended from the heavens, transforming into an overwhelming thunder sound sweeping towards Zhang Jian’s direction.

Gazing at the overwhelming thousand zhang of purple qi coming toward him, Zhang Jian smiled slightly.

"Your thousand zhang of purple qi feels a bit fake, allow me to show you what true purple qi from the east is!"

With a wave of his hand, a vast, supreme, and noble aura flowed from his body, like a torrent instantly engulfing this valley.

Under the Human Emperor’s purple light, all magic was sealed.

The surrounding heaven and earth seemed to instantaneously transform into a region flowing with purple qi, where seven blazing red dragon shadows suddenly emerged in the void. Following this, overwhelming, vast crimson flames spewed forth from the mouths of the seven dragons, enveloping the entire stone grotto statue in an instant.

Those crimson flames were pure and boundless Celestial Divine Flames.

Under the assault of the Divine Flame from the seven Red Vein Fire Dragons, the demon hidden within the statue could no longer endure, and countless bizarre demonic qi twisted within the statue, an indistinct black shadow emitting a piercing scream.

"Damn you, you wretched thing, I bear you no grudges, yet you ruin my plans, I shall not let you off!"

The sharp wailing voice echoed forth, and even Bai Liying, close by, felt a needle-like pain deep within her soul, but in an instant, the formless shriek was incinerated clean by the flames.

"Not letting me off, well I wasn’t planning to let you off either!"

Zhang Jian’s expression remained calm, and at the same time, he noticed that beneath the collapsing demonic qi, a glow of purple light was revealed, and with a wave of his hand, he captured that purple light, which transformed into a purple ’brick’ when it landed in his hand.
