Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 83 - 80: The Peach Blossom Banner is Destroyed, Heavenly Demon Buddha Mother

The exotic treasure known as the "Killing Life Navel" fell, and immediately a surge of jade light could be seen; then, astonishingly, there leapt out a hundred children only clad in red loincloths, each holding a sword, looking as if they were purely carved from jade and were half the height of a human.

These children all had their eyes blindfolded with a red sash, and their faces were devoid of any expression, only cold killing intent gathering and erupting forth.

In an instant, they spread throughout Iron Buddha Temple and, without speaking a word, swung their swords to slice at any Demon they encountered.

Each Evil Child possessed an eerie Escape Skill that left no trace, and merged with their swords, they became over a hundred indestructible "sword lights," beginning to scurry chaotically over the mountain.

Wherever they passed, a large number of Demons were slashed into minced flesh with a "sizzling" sound.

In just a moment, the Purgatory for the Demons reappeared.

Although these Evil Children were not as imposing as the four Daoists, the scene was even more bloody and brutal.

The sight reflected in Tao Qian's eyes: sword lights rampaged and swept across Iron Buddha Mountain, blood and remains could be seen everywhere,

They had gone mad with killing!

At that moment, Tao Qian finally understood the horror that Shan Jiu had spoken of.

For the Evil Cultivators and Alien Species who were Demons on this mountain, this was indeed terrifying. And most crucially, Tao Qian's Puppet Body was also one of them.

These "Evil Children" clearly had no Spiritual Wisdom and wouldn't listen to your explanations of "I am a good person" or the like.

Their purpose in descending was to hack to death all living beings on this mountain that could breathe.

Not only was Tao Qian terrified, Shan Jiu at his side, seeing these Evil Children who slaughtered any Demon they saw all over the mountain, was similarly stupefied.

"So ferocious, so ferocious, I'm scared to death."

"Quick, Daoist friend, let's find a place to hide. Against such a ferocious treasure, I would have some confidence if it were one-on-one."

"If two of them came at once, I would die, let alone you."

As Shan Jiu spoke, he was again pulling Tao Qian towards some rough crags.

But just then, Tao Qian suddenly heard a series of worried and anxious calls by his ear.

The two turned towards the sound and saw a cloud of pink Peach Blossom Miasma drifting from afar.

Above the clouds, Pan Hongniang was holding her "Five Lustful Peach Blossoms Banner," and her playful girlish face was now entirely filled with sorrow and concern; she was worried about her lover's life.

As a Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm, she did not fear the hacking of the Evil Children, but her lover wouldn't stand a chance and would likely be severed in half in a single encounter, with his intestines and viscera spilling out, bringing his life to a close.

Inside Pan Hongniang's heart, regret gnawed at her like insects, eating away at her spirit, as she kept muttering to herself:

"Fei'er, you mustn't have anything happen to you, Hongniang was wrong, I should not have indulged your body and caused you to be unable to break into the Qi Refinement Realm, not even having the power to protect yourself; if you die, Hongniang won't live either..."

With such emotions, Pan Hongniang completely ignored the hundred Evil Children rampaging and killing Demons all around, her gaze frantically searching below among the ruins for a particular figure while she shouted loudly:

"Fei'er, where are you?"

"Fei'er, oh where are you?"

During the process, she drew the attention of at least five Evil Children by exposing such a huge target.

Terrifying sword lights formed a sword net in midair, slashing murderously towards Pan Hongniang.

But all were blocked by the miasma released by the Five Lustful Peach Blossoms Banner, which indeed could judge the strength of these "Killing Evil Children"; each was between the levels of the Qi Refinement Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Slicing those lowly Demons seemed like cutting vegetables, the Energy-Introducing Realm took a bit more effort, and some Demons in the Qi Refinement Realm, when pairing up, could hardly fend off an Evil Child.

But this could not stop the Evil Children's frenzied slaughter.

Their Evasion Light was too fast, and their bodies were extremely hard, making them difficult to destroy.

Pan Hongniang, despite being a loose Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm, single-handedly fended off five Evil Children as her gaze strenuously scanned her surroundings, and finally noticed Tao Qian in the distance.

"Fei'er!"

Along with an incredibly excited voice, almost crying with joy, the Peach Blossom Miasma shot towards them.

Just at this moment, Tao Qian and Shan Jiu were simultaneously spotted by two blindfolded Evil Children.

With two clangs, two sword lights crisscrossed towards them.

Fortunately, Tao Qian and Shan Jiu were not wooden stakes to be mindlessly chopped; Shan Jiu let out a strange cry and drew out a Green Vine Whip, lashing it out directly and binding the sword lights firmly in midair, forcing them back into an Evil Child state.

As for Tao Qian, he reached into his bosom and took out a Jade Flying Knife, tossing it towards the sword lights.

This was the Magic Artifact taken from Jade-faced Lady Lan Qing'er before, the Jade Demon Killing Blade, which was not included among the "Mystical Artifacts" for some reason, but was first-class among Magic Artifacts. Accompanied by clanging sounds, this Flying Knife, which had been simply cultivated by the Puppet Body, fought on par with the Evil Child.

Seeing this, Pan Hongniang, who had been intently looking forward to saving her lover from being split in half, breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Immediately, she charged even more furiously, smashing through any obstacle in her way to bits.

Just as Tao Qian controlled the Jade Demon Killing Blade, he suddenly smelled a familiar Exotic Fragrance, and then a warm soft body crashed into his arms.

Wrapping his arms tightly around her, he almost wanted to blend that Puppet Body completely into her embrace.

And those two Evil Children were struck and sent flying by Pan Hongniang in her charge.

Watching the two figures blend as one, Shan Jiu blinked with a puzzled look on his face.

What was his Daoist friend and his Master doing?

Just as Shan Jiu was about to ask, he suddenly sensed something and his comical face instantly showed a look of horror.

His small hands began frantically pulling at Tao Qian's sleeves, while his fingers trembled and incessantly pointed at the surroundings.

Tao Qian struggled to lift his head, his complexion changing drastically in an instant.

He saw among the corpses and ruins around them, several "Evil Children" suddenly showing their true bodies, their jade light dimmed, but their killing intent even more intense, almost condensing into something tangible.

The Source Qi stored inside them seemed to have been depleted, and they no longer had the strength to transform into sword lights to kill.

Their heads turned as if searching for something.

Quickly, after a bout of slaughter, the remaining more than eighty Evil Children split into five groups, each grouping together.

Unfortunately, or perhaps precisely because of Pan Hongniang's immense presence,

a total of seventeen Killing Evil Children singled them out, rushing toward where the three of them were located.

When this scene unfolded, whether it was Tao Qian, Shan Jiu, or Pan Hongniang, they all simultaneously felt an incredibly strong premonition of danger.

Especially the weaker Tao Qian, who felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Above the heads of all demons, the frantic words of the infant demon came once again: "Everyone avoid these Killing Evil Children, they have exhausted their Source Qi, and they are about to self-destruct next."

Upon hearing these words, the demons cursed in secret, why didn't they receive this crucial information sooner?

In a frenzy of terrified screams, the demons fled.

But for some, it was already too late.

Tao Qian, Shan Jiu, and Pan Hongniang, in their vicinity, all the demons had been slaughtered.

Thus, it was only natural for the Killing Evil Children who had slain those demons to converge towards them.

Those covered-eyed, gloomy-bodied creatures, resembling ghostly children wielding swords, directly surrounded them and hurled themselves at their target.

The terrifying energy, from brewing to exploding, lasted only for a moment.

"Boom!"

When the first deafening explosion arrived,

Tao Qian couldn't help but wear a gloomy expression, silently thinking: "It's over, this puppet body is going to be lost."

As the thought emerged, reflected in his eyes were the scenes of the Killing Evil Children self-destructing, the destructive jade light spreading, completely filling the area, turning everything it touched—bodies, buildings, or whatever else—into jade fragments that danced with the white light.

The loud noises blended with the dead silence perfectly.

But at that very moment, an anomalous scene appeared.

A peach tree!

Without any warning, an exceedingly seductive, gigantic peach tree suddenly burst out from beneath the soil, branches extending, roots bulging, with petals fluttering everywhere, and amidst the overwhelming surges, pink Peach Blossom Miasma erupted like a storm together with countless pink moths fluttering in it.

In an instant, an unimaginable clash was born.

When all the dust settled, that area was almost completely leveled.

Except for that now terribly damaged peach tree. Under that tree, three figures remained unharmed.

Tao Qian was still being tightly held by Pan Hongniang, their bodies almost fused together, the latter apparently very worried that Tao Qian would suffer even the slightest injury.

Shan Jiu frantically felt around with both hands, confirming he was alright and that he wouldn't have to waste the delicious meal he had just eaten to resurrect, his face immediately showing joy.

Then, he turned to look at the "Five Lustful Peach Blossoms Banner" floating in the air next to him, now tattered and with its treasure light dimmed.

Showing a look of regret, he muttered, "It's completely ruined by the blast, turning a good treasure into a useless one."

Tao Qian likewise recognized the reason his puppet body had survived: Pan Hongniang had sacrificed her protecting treasure, the Five Lustful Peach Blossoms Banner.

This object was a genuine "Mystical Artifact," many times stronger than the Jade Demon Killing Blade.

But now, it was half-destroyed by the self-destruction of more than a dozen Killing Evil Children.

Tao Qian hugged Pan Hongniang with one arm while with the other, he let his original heart be at ease, soothing his own master.

Meanwhile, he looked up at the current state of Iron Buddha Mountain; this famous mountain near Seeking Immortal County was thoroughly ravaged, full of ruins, pits, and scattered limbs and chunks of flesh and blood everywhere.

And in the sky above, including the "Naked Saintess," several Great Demons were still being suppressed in battle by four Daoists.

"It seems the demons and Taoists are about to lose."

"Has Master Xiao's second campaign actually won?"

No sooner had this thought arisen in Tao Qian's heart than his face suddenly stiffened.

An "alarm" expression, which he had never experienced since coming to Iron Buddha Mountain, took over his entire face.

Even the original body of Tao Qian, far away in Seeking Immortal County,

at the same moment, wore the same expression.

He sensed an intensity like never before, as if someone was directly hammering his brain and heart—that kind of palpitation.

Whether the original body or the puppet body,

both stood rigidly, looking towards the direction a distance away from Iron Buddha Mountain and Seeking Immortal County.

There, a massive sword energy surged towards the sky.

And at that moment, within that formation,

an unimaginable figure, like a gigantic creature of heaven and earth, was becoming real from the void, where ten thousand feet of Buddha Light and tremendous demon qi were blending perfectly; a duet born in an instant amidst the Buddha chants and the soul-crushing demonic roars.

Whether it was the Loose Cultivator disciples startled within Seeking Immortal County or the demons on Iron Buddha Mountain who survived,

they all witnessed the monumental Lingxiao Demon-suppressing Sword Array, capable of trapping and killing Great Demons, being burst apart while the enraged screams of the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva echoed through the land.

Right at the moment the Demon Suppression Sword Array shattered, everyone saw.

Among the dark mountains, a giant Dharma Image suddenly appeared.

At the base of that Dharma Image was unexpectedly a massive golden peacock, with countless plume feathers with eyes rising and then spreading out; and amidst the ten thousand feet of Buddha Light, seated on the lotus throne was not the Buddha Mother Ming King of the legends, but an extremely twisted, bizarre figure.

Despite still wearing the Treasure Crown, having hair up in a high bun, draped in a large cloak, donning a long skirt, and adorned with earrings, arm bracelets, and bracelets, the horrible flesh that swelled and surged forth, the countless white skulls wailing within it, those fresh red eyeballs... all these things had nothing to do with the compassionate Buddha Mother.

Seated on that lotus throne was not a Buddha, not a human, but an extremely grotesque, devouring devil body.

No matter who it was, no matter their level of cultivation or mental state,

at this moment, upon seeing this "Heavenly Demon Buddha Mother Dharma Form," everyone fell into a state of terrified silence.

Some of the weak-willed cultivators or demons,

in that instant, went mad.
