Primordial World: Big shots are all my friends-Chapter 333 - 289, Ice Soul Divine Pearl

Half a month later, West Qi once again mobilized its troops, and in the skies above, a great battle between the Immortal Gods unfolded amidst the churning Demon Clouds and the dazzling Buddha Light.

"Boom~" Within the Jing Guang, a massive figure plummeted, crashing into the mountains, causing a earth-shattering tremor, and the mountain range collapsed.

Jiang Ziya also led his troops out to strike, intending to use the momentum of the great victory to break through Wen Zhong’s Yin Shang army. The mighty army charged towards the Yin Shang camp, with the battle cries resounding and shaking the heavens.

Bang~ A ripple spread out in the high sky, and Shijie Taiyi True Man was sent flying.

Shijie Taiyi True Man looked down at the West Qi army below, his body flashed with light turning into a massive skull that hurtled downwards, unleashing a silent screech that vibrated the air.

"How dare you!" Taiyi True Man thundered angrily, whipped the dust away, and three thousand silver strands slashed through the air, striking the skull. Bang~ the skull collapsed, and countless smaller skulls fell like meteors and burrowed into the ground.

The battleground trembled with a roar, as the earth upheaved giving birth to pitch-black skeletons. Bone hands transformed into bone knives, bone spears, and bone shields, swarming the land densely, turning it completely black in an instant.

Jiang Ziya exclaimed in shock, "What are these things?"

Countless Bone Soldiers swarmed towards the West Qi army. This time, without needing Jiang Ziya’s orders, the West Qi army screamed in terror, charging back towards the West Qi Camp in disarray, abandoning their armor and weaponry, retreating messily yet with a heartbreaking efficiency.

In the sky, Taiyi True Man looked down with shock and anger, and roared, "Shijie, what are you doing?"

Shijie, standing on a Cloud Light Cloth, flew out from underground and said coldly, "Naturally, summoning the army. This is a spell called Sea of Dead Bones taught by my senior brother, Taiyi, what do you think?"

With a piercing cry that shook the firmament, the swirling Demonic Qi twisted into a vortex and exploded violently, tossing the Chan Sect Golden Immortals around.

Shijie, Jingwei, Ziyao, Wuzhiqi, and others immediately turned and headed toward the Yin Shang camp to enter inside.

The Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect and Western Sect likewise landed, standing atop the city walls, looking down at the endless Sea of Dead Bones that was swarming towards the city, wielding their weapons.

Chi Jingzi turned the Yin Yang Mirror in hand, and a beam of black light shot out, covering the area in darkness. Wherever the light touched, all the Dead Souls burst apart, collapsing into a pile of shattered bones.

However, in the blink of an eye, the fallen bones stood up again, emitting a silent howl.

Chi Jingzi put away the Yin Yang Mirror and said in astonishment, "They have no souls."

Guang Chengzi tossed out his Sky Flipping Seal, which transformed into a small mountain before crashing down with a thunderous sound, shattering the Bone Sea below. The Sky Flipping Seal rose, shrinking back into Guang Chengzi’s hand, and the crushed bones slowly reassembled, forming Bone Soldiers again.

Immortal Elder of the Southern Pole exclaimed in shock, "What are these? Even the Sky Flipping Seal can’t destroy them. They pose no threat to cultivators, but to mortals, they are nearly invincible."

Guang Chengzi immediately asked, "Taiyi, you have incarnated as the King of Underworld; can you discern the origin of these bones?"

Taiyi closed his eyes, and after a moment, his eyes snapped open and said, "These aren’t Dead Soul Bone Soldiers, but the indestructible obsessions of countless Fierce Ghosts from the Eighteen Layers of Hell, revived in the Mortal World through Bai Jin’s methods."

Master Huang Long promptly said, "Shijie interferes with Yin and Yang, the Ten Halls Yama can send troops to subdue."

Taiyi True Man shook his head and replied, "The Underworld belongs to Ping Xin, if Bai Jin dared so, he must have Ping Xin’s approval."

Guang Chengzi slapped his palm on the city wall in fury and shouted, "Damn it!"

Jiang Ziya flew over quickly, anxiously saying, "Esteemed brothers, can you unleash your divine might and clear all these skeletons?"

Taiyi True Man shook his head and said, "It can’t be done!"

Jiang Ziya pressed on anxiously, "What should we do then?"

Bang~

Bang~

Bang~

...

The city walls echoed with impacts from all directions as countless white bones climbed up towards them.

Jiang Ziya’s eyebrows twitched several times, and he gritted his teeth and said, "There’s no time left. It looks like it’s up to me." He turned and flew away quickly.

...

In the distant Yin Shang Camp, All Immortals gathered to watch the scene unfolding within the Cloud Mirror, showing the Sea of Dead Bones from the Battlefield flooding towards the West Qi Camp.

Jingwei frowned and said, "Uncle Master, are you really planning to use the Bone Soldiers to slaughter mortals?"

Shi Ji shook his head and said, "Don’t worry! Brother Bai Jin has already instructed me; the purpose of the Sea of Dead Bones is to coerce Jiang Ziya."

Long Ji asked in confusion, "Coerce?"

"We have been in the Sealing God Battlefield for quite some time now, and we need to make a decision quickly, or else if this continues, we might sink into Calamity.

Brother has said when the time comes, summon the Sea of Dead Bones to force Jiang Ziya’s hand."

A moment later, Jiang Ziya flew out from the city and shouted loudly, "Shi Ji, Ziyao, Gu Liang, Wuzhiqi, Jingwei, Long Ji, come out and fight!"

Shi Ji waved his hand to put away the Cloud Mirror and sighed, "The time has come! Let’s go!"

Shi Ji, Ziyao, Gu Liang, Wuzhiqi, Jingwei, and Long Ji flew out of the camp.

Jiang Ziya waved his hand and took out a black sphere. He threw the sphere, and it formed a black hole in the sky. Shi Ji and the others screamed and struggled as they were sucked into the black hole. The Infinite Bone Sea also rose from the ground and surged into the black hole, which then disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Ziya slowly floated down onto the city wall, letting out a breath of relief and said lightly, "Finally, it’s over!" For the army, the threat of the Sea of Dead Bones was even greater than the Law Enforcement Team.

Taiyi True Man asked, "What did you trade with this time?"

Jiang Ziya regretfully said, "The Ice Soul Divine Pearl; it was the only Magic Treasure I had left."

Mahasthamaprapta’s eyes suddenly widened, and he urgently exclaimed, "That’s not right, the Ice Soul Divine Pearl is a Magic Treasure of the Eight Heavenly Dragons under Ao Han Dragon King from our Western Sect. It was only lent to you; how could you trade it away?"

Jiang Ziya looked confused and said, "Lent to me? Wasn’t it a gift?"

"Prime Minister Jiang, stop feigning innocence. Return the Magic Treasure to me immediately," demanded Mahasthamaprapta as he grabbed Jiang Ziya in desperation.

Jiang Ziya replied annoyed, "It’s just an Innate Spiritual Treasure; why be so stingy?!"

Just an Innate Spiritual Treasure? Are these even the words of a sane person? We in the Western Sect only have so few Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Guang Chengzi spoke with displeasure, "Mahasthamaprapta, that’s enough! Our Chan Sect has already sacrificed two Supreme Treasures to suppress Golden Peng Kong Xuan, and your Western Sect can’t bear to part with just one Innate Spiritual Treasure?"

I... I... Mahasthamaprapta, feeling helpless, let go. How am I supposed to explain this to the Dragon King!

Medicine Buddha said, "Brother Guang Chengzi is making a lot of sense; it is indeed our turn to make sacrifices."

He clasped his hands together and bowed, saying, "Until we meet again."

Mahasthamaprapta also clasped his hands and bowed.

Guang Chengzi and the other Chan Sect Disciples all returned the gesture with a bow.

People rode the auspicious clouds up into the sky and quickly disappeared amongst the clouds.

Atop the city wall, Jiang Ziya sighed, "Finally, it’s over. It wasn’t easy!"

He muttered to himself, feeling contemptuous, "Putting on airs in front of me, why don’t you go fight the Jie Sect Disciples? Saint Disciples unable to defeat third generation disciples of the Jie Sect, and you have the nerve to vent your anger on me?! If I had not made the immediate decision to sacrifice the Lord of Gods and Demons, who knows how things would have ended!

It’s just an Innate Spiritual Treasure? Is it worth making such a fuss? The Spiritual Treasures that have passed through my hands are countless, at least close to a hundred, all of which I have sacrificed to the God and Demon Altar, did I ever care? Getting worked up over such trivial matters will get you nowhere!

Cultivation relies on oneself, to wield Magic Treasures for but a moment, to have God Demons merely seated in your heart, to view all things with equanimity and not be swayed by external objects—that is the hallmark of a real hero. I alone am sober amidst a world of drunkenness!" Jiang Ziya shook his head, full of deep emotion.
