Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 708 - 585: Azure Dragon Claw Probe

Holding a long spear, Ye Hongying had a grass stalk in her mouth as she revealed the depth of Hu Tianzong.

"You also say it's half a foot on the Primordial Spirit Great Path.

The one in the Taiyin Sea Altar is truly in the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Even with the Palace Master's protection, these two are really something." The Fishing Man scratched his eyebrow and said.

"You don't understand, this kid is born extraordinary, and greatly favored by that Third Master of the Hu Family, who generously bestowed treasures upon him.

Trying to kill him would not be easy for an ordinary Primordial Spirit True Honor.

If that old ancestor gets annoyed and personally comes, even if this old demon is at its peak, it would have to flee with its tail between its legs."

Ye Hongying shook her head lightly; she didn't worry a bit about Hu Tianzong's safety.

This one is the beloved of Third Master Hu.

Even if he encountered a dangerous situation, with a dance of the wizard, the old ancestor might directly descend.

Evil Maitreya?

I'll smash your head!

Their only concern was whether the Dragon-subduing Nail in Hu Tianzong's hand could truly subdue the reincarnation technique of this old demon and annihilate it completely.

If not, once this foe escaped using the reincarnation method, it would spell an unimaginable catastrophe for the entire Central Earth realm.

"In that case, we can only hope these two young Daoists have a safe journey."

Shrugging his shoulders, the Fishing Man picked up the fish basket and rod, ready to leave.

"Where are you going, fishing again?"

Seeing the Fishing Man leaving so briskly, Ye Hongying rolled her eyes while holding the long spear.

"Going to catch a salamander, Evernight Ancient City doesn't seem very peaceful lately, the Palace Master ordered me to guard for a while and observe."

The thought of guarding that barren land covered in yellow sand caused the Fishing Man to sigh deeply.

Just then, a conch precisely flew in a parabolic arc, striking heavily at the Fishing Man's head.

"Stop with the nonsense."

Covering his head upon hearing the Palace Master's voice in his ear, the Fishing Man grinned without delay, picked up the fish basket and rod, made a face at Ye Hongying, then turned into a wisp of mist and disappeared.

...

Following the crystal bridge, they arrived directly above the vast whirlpool, the roaring water sounded like the howl of an ancient, eerie existence, and the bottomless vortex seemed ready to devour everything.

"Daoist, this time we're counting on you."

With eyes fixed on the black vortex below, Hu Tianzong took a deep breath and turned to fist-bump Qi Xiu.

The Dragon-subduing Nail is indeed a Divine Marvel, but manipulating it is extremely complicated, consuming both time and effort.

Moreover, this True Dragon Punishment Instrument had been refined by Third Master Hu with a secret technique, making it so only Hu Tianzong could control it.

Thus, after descending to the Taiyin Sea Altar.

If they encountered that Evil Maitreya, Qi Xiu would have to face it head-on, while Hu Tianzong controlled the Dragon-subduing Nail from the side, looking for the opportunity to pin down and kill the old demon.

"Entrusted by others, loyal to my duties, this humble Daoist will do my utmost." Qi Xiu nodded lightly.

Compared to Hu Tianzong's slightly nervous demeanor, he appeared rather calm.

After all, he had more trump cards than this Young Master Hu, and if things got out of hand, he could simply transform into his true body and brandish the Great Luo Five Elements Gold Plate to withstand this heavily injured and suppressed Primordial Spirit old demon without any problems.

Moreover, even if this mission failed, he would suffer no loss.

Instead, he would have repaid Hu Tianzong's karmic debt.

From the moment he stood here, he was already benefiting.

"Then, let's go!"

With eyes set, Hu Tianzong and Qi Xiu leaped directly towards the Taiyin Sea Altar below.

Thick, surging mist accompanied by splashing waves rushed towards them.

As they got closer to the vortex, an indescribable eerie murmuring suddenly appeared in Qi Xiu and Hu Tianzong's ears, echoing hauntingly, it penetrated the mind, unstoppable even if ears were blocked.

"Well, this old demon is even trickier than I estimated, it's affecting us before we even enter the Taiyin Sea Altar."

Recognizing this whispering sound as the means of the Evil Maitreya, Hu Tianzong's expression slightly tightened.

The Evil Maitreya was severely injured, suppressed for so many years, and yet could still affect the area outside the Taiyin Sea Altar.

This old demon who obtained the Buddha Demon Essence truly lives up to its reputation.

"Noisy."

Here, Hu Tianzong was rummaging left and right in his crimson robe, preparing means to counter the Demonic Buddha Sinister Sound.

Yet he saw Qi Xiu standing nearby, furrowing his brow slightly, a hint of impatience in his eyes, suddenly letting out a cold snort.

"Humph!"

This cold snort was like a thunderclap from the Nine Heavens, crashing down as if it contained supreme majesty and power.

Heaven and earth vibrated violently, a dragon roar that shook the heavens turned into visible sound waves, sweeping out in an instant, even the vortex showed signs of shattering under its force.

Amid this vast and boundless dragon's roar, the murmuring sinister sound instantly vanished without a trace, no longer audible at all.

"Impressive."

Unexpectedly, Qi Xiu managed to break the Evil Maitreya's sinister sound technique with just a cold snort, Hu Tianzong smiled and gave a thumbs up.

As the two continued to descend deeper into the vortex, the surrounding temperature began to drop sharply, and dense white frost emanated like a thick fog.

"Frost condensed from Taiyin Qi, capable of freezing even the soul."

Recognizing the horror of the white frost at a glance, the crimson robe on Hu Tianzong's body instantly lit up, transforming into a bonfire in the shadows, dispelling the chill.

"We should be close."

Gazing into the depths of the fog ahead, Qi Xiu suddenly spoke.

Cloud follows the dragon, wind follows the tiger.

The True Dragon Clan is very sensitive to water, so even without looking, he could sense that their destination was not far ahead.

Taiyin Sea Altar!

As Qi Xiu said, right after he and Hu Tianzong passed through the Lunar Cold Frost, a pitch-black as ink, abyss-like silent deep pool appeared before them, without a ripple in sight.

"Is this the Taiyin Sea Altar?"

Gazing at the deep black pool like ink, Hu Tianzong bared his teeth, a chill inexplicably rising in his heart.

"Are we going down?"

Seeing Hu Tianzong with a complex expression, Qi Xiu smiled and asked.

"We're going down! We're at the doorstep, we've got to go down!"

Carrying the fate of the entire Liaodong noble family, Hu Tianzong was determined, gritting his teeth and diving headfirst into the Taiyin Sea Altar.

Splash!

The serene mirror-like surface of the water splashed waves, but upon entering the pitch-black deep pool, the view before Qi Xiu and Hu Tianzong suddenly cleared up.

Underneath the Taiyin Sea Altar lay a massive temple.

On both sides of the temple sat five hundred Arhats and the Eight Great Bodhisattvas, with many Buddhas high atop the dome, the scent of sandalwood lingering, and Buddhist chants echoing; at the center of the temple stood a grand Maitreya Buddha, majestic and solemn, exuding endless benevolence and peace.

At this moment, beneath this Maitreya Buddha, a monk clad in a white kasaya, with a serene face, holding a string of jade Buddhist beads, was devoutly chanting sutras, his voice resounding clearly throughout the entire temple.

"Merciful Buddha, this humble monk Shan Xian greets the two patrons."

As if hearing someone approaching, the monk in white stopped chanting, slowly got up, and faced Qi Xiu and Hu Tianzong.

"It turns out to be Master Shan Xian, I'm Hu Tianzong junior. I apologize for the sudden visit and any disturbance caused. Please forgive me, Master."

Smiling, Hu Tianzong clasped his hands together, stepped forward a couple of steps, and addressed the monk in white.

"Meeting is fate, my little temple usually has no visitors, so your arrival is quite a pleasant surprise for this monk."

"Not at all, not at all, we came here unintentionally, hoping not to have disturbed your meditation."

"The patron is too kind."

The monk in white and Hu Tianzong exchanged pleasantries back and forth.

Qi Xiu, standing behind, watched the two of them, his expression gradually becoming peculiar.

Just as the conversation grew more intimate, Hu Tianzong, back to Qi Xiu, suddenly made a previously agreed-upon secret gesture behind his back.

Do it!

Smirking, Qi Xiu let out a light chuckle.

In the next moment!

A terrifying and immense Dragon Power erupted into the sky, a massive dragon claw seizing the sun and moon, rasping the stars, shredding the temple roof, crushing countless voids, the entire temple buckled under this vast power and began to disintegrate.

Azure Dragon Claw Probe!
