Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 714 - 589: The Great and Small Ruyi

"Damn it!"

Qi Xiu and Hu Tianzong were unexpectedly so resolute, directly releasing the suppressed Evil Maitreya.

Moon Sea True Venerable was slightly moved, facing the Evil Maitreya who was now completely in a state of rage, a few traces of hesitation appeared in her eyes.

The world believed that the Evil Maitreya was captured by her alone back in the day.

But that wasn't the case.

At that time, she accidentally ran into this ancient demon from Outside the Domain and took action out of no choice.

And the outcome of that battle was not as the world heard.

The truth was, she barely escaped being killed by the Evil Maitreya.

Possessing the legacies of both the Buddha and the Demon Lord, the Evil Maitreya's combat power was among the top tier within the Primordial Spirit True Honors.

Although she was among the elder group within the Primordial Spirit True Honors, her Daoist Inheritance paled in comparison to that of the Evil Maitreya.

Had it not been for Qinglian True Monarch's timely support with a sword, back then, she might have perished at the hands of that old demon.

And in gratitude for Qinglian True Monarch's assistance,

she suppressed Evil Maitreya beneath the Lethean Sea Cliff at Qinglian True Monarch's behest, healing while guarding the unparalleled demon! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Now Evil Maitreya was fully unleashed, desperately resurrecting his battle strength, even summoning the phantasm of the Heavenly Demon Lord Poxun.

This brought a long-lost fear to Moon Sea True Venerable, who had previously suffered heavily at Evil Maitreya's hands.

Better to leave now! These two juniors are also at the end of their rope; anyway, the Heaven and Earth Element-Seeking Great Formation has already started, and they'll eventually be drained by the formation.

No need for me to stubbornly fight Evil Maitreya now and increase losses pointlessly.

With her thoughts racing, Moon Sea True Venerable was about to leave.

She really did not want to provoke Evil Maitreya's bad luck.

However, having been suppressed by the Dragon-subduing Nail, Evil Maitreya had now completely ripped off the Buddhist phantasm that suppressed his demonic nature.

Amidst the surging, swelling Demon Light, the original image of the white-robed monk vanished, replaced by a Demon Luo True Body with skin as black as ink, covered in strange dark-gold scriptures, white hair fluttering like flames, towering as a mountain, bearing four arms!

"Kill!"

With a furious skyward roar, backed by the phantasm of the Heavenly Demon Lord Poxun, Evil Maitreya stomped the void with his sturdy legs, his blood-red eyes seething with endless murderous intent, with an enormous dark yellow demon eye on his forehead fixedly glaring at Moon Sea True Venerable across from him.

This ancient demon from Outside the Domain had completely succumbed to madness.

Everything before him was now a mortal enemy!

"What do we do?"

Seeing Evil Maitreya going berserk with rage, Hu Tianzong tugged at Qi Xiu's robe, scratching his head in inquiry.

"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits, let's first sit this one out and watch."

With eyes flashing, Qi Xiu took a deep breath and then exhaled a thick, rising cloud-like vapor from his mouth.

Amidst this mist, he transformed in one sweep, wrapping up Hu Tianzong, instantly turning into a barely discernable tiny mustard seed, hiding in a corner of the void.

Size-changing at will!

One of the Divine Marvels of the True Dragon Clan's bloodline.

True Dragons could enlarge or shrink, ascend or vanish; enlarging to stir clouds and spew mist, shrinking to conceal and hide form.

This size-changing at will was one of the most commonly used techniques of the True Dragon Clan.

While Qi Xiu took Hu Tianzong to perform the size-changing at will, hiding aside to watch the drama unfold, Moon Sea True Venerable was having a hard time.

She intended to leave, waiting for the old demon to finish venting before dealing with it.

But who knew Evil Maitreya truly felt threatened this time, his extreme frenzy and rage pushed his combat power almost back to its peak state.

With a roar, the unleashed boundless demonic sound directly sealed this space, making it impossible for Moon Sea True Venerable to escape for the moment.

"Heavenly Demon Descends, Ten Thousand Ancient Tribulations Extinguished!"

Angry roars from the ancient Demon Domain echoed, akin to a Heavenly Demon world reviving, emerging from the river of time, eerie and cold, with a vast chilling aura rolling upwards, causing the entire Secluded Spring Land to tremble madly.

Seeing no escape, Moon Sea True Venerable's gaze turned indifferent.

With a wave of her hand, dormant stars in the void began to light up and revive, quivering and shaking, as if welcoming ancient star gods, erupting with earth-shattering might.

Amidst thunderous booms.

The Heavenly Demon World collided remotely with the sea of stars!

The skirmish between the two Primordial Spirit True Honors was far more terrifying and astounding than the previous battle between Qi Xiu and Evil Maitreya.

The entire Secluded Spring Land was filled with an endless aura of devastation and disaster, the sound of cosmic clashes resounded endlessly.

Hidden within the mustard seed, Qi Xiu and Hu Tianzong felt themselves like a lone leaf on raging waves.

Tossing and tumbling, up and down.

"At this rate, we'll sooner or later be shaken to death by these remaining waves…"

With a wow, Hu Tianzong spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, already extremely weak, his eyes turning white, evidently unable to withstand such fierce shock.

Not finishing his words, he collapsed, unconscious.

This place, the Secluded Spring Land, was naturally a nemesis for Great Yi cultivators; coupled with exerting the Dragon-subduing Nail twice, Hu Tianzong was severely overdrawn.

Now with the vibration of this leftover Primordial Spirit might, he finally couldn't hold on, losing consciousness.

With a subtle expression, Qi Xiu frowned in thought, probing outside through the mustard seed.

At this moment, the entire Secluded Spring had become a vague mass of light, invisible to the naked eye, the battle clash between the two Primordial Spirit True Honors shredding everything here to pieces.

But amidst this indescribable quagmire, Qi Xiu noticed something unusual.

That was the Heaven and Earth Element-Seeking Great Formation beneath Secluded Spring hadn't been forced to stop by the battle of the two Primordial Spirit True Honors.

Instead, those Origin-Searching Demon Needles were finding opportunity to absorb the residual power fluctuations from the two Primordial Spirit True Honors' confrontation.

Wisps of absorbed Primordial Spirit power were continuously injected into the Heaven and Earth Element-Seeking Great Formation below, via red strings attached to the Demon Needles.

On the ancient array originating from the Food Demon Sect, the once dim and lightless array patterns gradually lit up, the entire array's atmosphere visibly growing grand and heavy.

Perhaps, the real change lay within this Great Array.

With eyes flashing, Qi Xiu willed the mustard seed to float towards the Great Array below.

As the Great Array's resurgence completed step by step, the thirty-three ancient imprints at the array's center fully lit up, a colossal yet primitive phantom with nine heads and eight arms suddenly appeared at the center, atop which stood a portal slowly opening with thunderous sound.

The ancient, remote aura from within the gate seemed to hold history long past!

Now's the time!

The moment the strange portal opened, Qi Xiu, long prepared, immediately transformed into a Divine Light, forcefully penetrated the continuous Primordial Spirit residual power around, diving headlong into the doorway.

Elsewhere, seeing the gateway to the Immortal Ancient City opening, Moon Sea True Venerable, fighting with Evil Maitreya, immediately conjured a crimson full moon that illuminated three thousand Great Worlds, forcefully repelling Evil Maitreya, then morphed into a moon shadow and melded into the gate.

"None of you are leaving!"

With opponents gone, completely consumed by killing intent, Evil Maitreya let out a hoarse scream, closely followed Moon Sea True Venerable's figure, also charging into the gate.

Boom!

The gate closed heavily, all light gradually fading away, the exhausted Heaven and Earth Element-Seeking Great Formation dimmed completely.

In an instant, the turbulent Secluded Spring Land, infused with endless terrifying might and destructive force, turned into a place of silent slumber.
