Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad - Chapter 473 Chaos Qinglian

"The Taiyin is born, the essence of water; the mysterious void responds, the tortoise and the snake combine; the Zhoutian Liuhe, intimidates all spirits!"

The words of the Great Emperor Zhenwu are followed by laws.

In an instant, the sky changed dramatically, and the seven stars of the Northern Black Tortoise shone brightly.

Huge waves suddenly surged up in the northern sky.

The water vapor was like smoke and fog, filling the entire battlefield in an instant. Wherever it passed, the coldness was like a maggot in the tarsal bones, drilling straight into the bone marrow, making all things in heaven and earth tremble.

The soldiers of the anti-heaven army were shivering with cold and could hardly hold the weapons in their hands.

At the same time, the Great Emperor Zhenwu exuded the majestic pressure of a Daluo Golden Immortal, which was like a surging tide, sweeping over and covering every inch of the battlefield.

The pressure was as heavy as a mountain, making it hard for the anti-Heaven army to breathe. Many soldiers with lower cultivation bases were directly crushed to the ground, their faces pale and their eyes filled with fear.

"Beigong Xuanwu, guard Xuantian."

"The Soap Carved Flag, one flag covers the sky!"

The sleeves of Emperor Zhenwu's robe fluttered lightly, and the white carved flag in his hand fluttered.

This soap-carved flag is made from a piece of tortoise shell on the body of the North Pole ancestor Xuanwu, and has been tempered for thousands of years. It contains supreme divine power and is also known as the "Heaven-Covering Flag."

……

This "Soap Carved Flag" is the magic weapon carried by the Great Emperor Zhenwu.

Although the "Soap Carving Flag" is not well-known, it is actually very strong and is often overlooked.

On the way to the West, Sun Wukong used a clever trick at Pingdingshan to trick the "Purple Gold Red Gourd" from the hands of the Smart Bug. However, to get this treasure, he needed the ability to "pretend to be the sky".

The gods were helpless.

Nezha the Third Prince came on the wind, clasped his fists and said:"Your Majesty, I request your order to borrow the black carved flag from the Great Emperor Zhenwu at the North Heaven Gate. Unfurl it at the South Heaven Gate, and it will surely cover the sun, moon, and stars."

"At that time, the sky and the earth will be dark, and no one will be visible on the other side. It will be difficult to distinguish the five fingers of a hand. Then you can trick the monster by saying that you have put the world into the gourd. This will surely help the traveler escape successfully."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor said, "As you have requested."

At the South Gate of Heaven, Prince Nezha unfolded the "Soap Carved Flag". In an instant, the sky and the earth lost their color, the sun, the moon, and the stars were all obscured. The world seemed to be painted with thick ink and heavy colors, and the universe was indigo, as if chaos had just begun.

Therefore: “One flag covers the sky.”

This black carved flag has the power to cover the sky and block out the sun because the true body of the Great Emperor Zhenwu is "Zu Xuanwu".

Zu Xuanwu guards the North Pole of the sky and controls yin and yang, so naturally he possesses such supreme magical powers to change the world.

At this moment.

The Great Emperor Zhenwu had a stern look on his face and waved the black carved flag in his hand again.

In an instant, black mist surged on the soap-carved flag, like a roaring black dragon, sweeping out with bared fangs and claws.

Wherever the black fog went, the light of the sun and the moon was instantly swallowed up completely, as if being ruthlessly swallowed by an invisible giant mouth.

The supply of spiritual energy from heaven and earth between the three islands and ten continents and the anti-heaven army was unexpectedly cut off by this soap-carved flag and came to an abrupt halt.

Yin soldiers like darkness and gloom.

Not to be missed.

At this moment, the soap-carved flags covered the sky and the world was suddenly plunged into a chaotic darkness. One could not see one's hand in front of one's face and even spiritual consciousness could hardly penetrate.

The anti-Heaven army is like blind people.

Now is the perfect opportunity for the Yin soldiers to launch an attack!Seeing this, General Heisha's eyes widened with anger and he shouted:"All ghost soldiers, listen to my order, transform into dark winds, and follow me to kill the anti-heaven army!"

After saying that, General Heisha took the lead in transforming into a ray of eerie and terrifying dark wind, leading a group of ghost kings - the powerful ghost king, the plague ghost king, the ruthless ghost king, the unrighteous ghost king, the one-horned ghost king, the traitorous ghost king, etc., as well as thousands of ghost soldiers, and rushed towards the anti-heaven army like a black tide, taking advantage of the chaos to kill them.

For a moment, the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling on the battlefield shook the heaven and earth.

On this battlefield, no sounds of birds or beasts can be heard, only ghosts and monsters roaming around, as if one is in the Netherworld.

The anti-heaven army was thrown into chaos by this sudden attack, with shouts, screams, and the sound of weapons clashing intertwined.Upon seeing this, Emperor Donghua frowned slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Zheng" sound.

The Xiantian Pure Yang Sword in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath, and the sword body was burning with flames as white as the sun.

“Brush, brush, brush!”

“Brush, brush, brush!”

……

The pure yang fire rain was like a burning meteor, with the power to destroy the world, it cut through the dark sky and smashed straight towards the ghost soldiers and generals.

The sword energy is as hot as the sun at noon. Wherever it passes, everything is reduced to ashes. Mountains are burned and seas are boiled. Nothing can stop it. This is the power of the Pure Yang Sword!Suddenly, the sky was clear and the sun and moon reappeared.

General Heisha, a group of ghost kings, and thousands of ghost soldiers appeared in the light. They looked a little embarrassed under the scorching light.

……

Regarding the immortal Dongfang Shuo, Journey to the West once described him as follows:

When Sun Wukong met Dongfang Shuo, he laughed and said:"This little thief is here! There are no peaches at the Emperor's place for you to steal!"

It can be seen that Dongfang Shuo is also a god who likes to "steal peaches and eat peaches".

……

At this moment.

Dongfang Shuo acted decisively and took out thirty-six "Penglai longevity peach kernels" from his sleeve.

"Penglai peach wood, three island spiritual roots, peach kernels contain Qi, scattered trees become a forest!"

He muttered something and used the wood-related magical power of "scattering trees to create a forest".

The thirty-six longevity peach pits fell like meteors and instantly landed near a group of ghost soldiers. They began to take root and grew into a peach forest in the blink of an eye.

The roots of the peach trees broke out of the ground like pythons, baring their fangs and claws, tightly wrapping around the ghost soldiers, making them unable to move.

The Taiping Yulan quoted the Dianshu saying: "Peach is the essence of the five woods. In ancient times, it was a fairy wood that suppressed evil spirits. The essence of peach wood is at the gate of ghosts and can control hundreds of ghosts. Therefore, peach wood swords are made to suppress evil spirits. This is a fairy art."

Peach wood, originally a yang wood, is also known as "dragon-subduing wood" and "ghost-fearing wood", which means "the wood that ghosts feel afraid and terrified by".

Peach wood has the natural ability to ward off evil spirits and drive away ghosts.

At this moment, this peach forest is the weapon that Dongfang Shuo has created with his magic to exorcise evil spirits, trapping the ghost soldiers inside, making it difficult for them to escape.

Although the Yin soldiers are strong, they are restrained by the peach forest. This is the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint, and the principle of harmony between Yin and Yang.

……

In the peach forest, the ghost soldiers struggled and roared, but they were still unable to break free from the tough roots.

When the Great Emperor Zhenwu saw that General Heisha and his group of ghost soldiers and ghost messengers were trapped in the peach forest, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he waved the black eagle flag again and shouted:"The mysterious sky is dark, the Big Dipper illuminates the shape; the black tortoise is bright, the water virtue is spiritual!"

In an instant, the Xuanwu star pattern on the black carved flag suddenly lit up.

A gigantic black tortoise slowly emerged from the flag, exhaling a mysterious aura that was icy and bone-chilling. Thousands of ice blades whizzed out, and an ice crystal barrier spanned thousands of miles. The air froze wherever it passed.

Hundreds of anti-heaven troops were instantly enveloped by the ice crystal barrier, and the cold penetrated into their bones. In the blink of an eye, they turned into ice sculptures, lifelike but lifeless. With the strength of the Zhenwu Emperor, no one in the anti-heaven army of the Emperor Donghua could deal with it.

Emperor Donghua smiled and said:

"Zu Xuanwu, why do you use your power to bully the weak?"

After saying this, the "dragon head cane" in Emperor Donghua's hand flew out.

The Eastern Yi Wood Energy surged out like a surging tide, transforming into vine chains that entangled Xuanwu's limbs like a spirit snake.

The vine chain became stronger and stronger under the nourishment of Yi wood energy and penetrated into Xuanwu's body.

Under this vigorous vitality, the ice crystal barrier began to slowly crack, making a "cracking" sound, as if it could not bear the weight.

……

The east is associated with wood, and the Emperor Donghua is even known as "Mu Gong".

Dongfang Shuo is the confidant of Emperor Donghua and has received the true teachings of Emperor Donghua.

At this time, General Heisha and a group of ghost soldiers were trapped in the peach forest, and it was time to pursue the victory.

"Eastern Yi Wood, peach blossom contains Qi!"

"Peach Blossom Falling Shadow, Flying Fairy Sword!"

The petals of the peach blossoms fell one after another, turning into sharp sword auras that shot towards the ghost soldiers.

The ghost soldiers screamed in agony and suffered heavy casualties under the restraints of the peach forest and the attacks of the peach blossom sword energy.

General Heisha was furious when he saw that his men suffered heavy casualties.

"Open it for me!"

However, peach wood is good for fighting ghosts.

The roots of the peach forest seemed to have spirits. They quickly wrapped around and tightly engulfed the black whirlwind.

General Heisha struggled and roared in it, but was unable to break free.

……

The Great Emperor Zhenwu snorted coldly, and the power of the Black Tortoise around him exploded like a raging ocean tide. The power shook the heavens and the earth, and rushed straight into the sky!

It is:

"The mysterious void responds, the tortoise and the snake merge into one; the six celestial bodies merge, the Zhenwu is mighty and spiritual!"

The Great Emperor Zhenwu has loose hair and holds a mighty sword that slays demons. His aura is fully unleashed, which is exactly the power of the "Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Grandmaster".

"Emperor Donghua, let's fight!"

In an instant, from the depths of his soul, the true form of a prehistoric mythical beast that was an intertwined combination of a dragon, snake and turtle slowly emerged from the dark abyss of the boundless underworld.

That true form carries a mysterious aura from ancient times, as if it has existed since the beginning of time.

at the same time.

The main body of this mythical beast is as majestic as three mountains and five peaks, its carapace is like cast of thick meteorite iron, the star patterns flow like a living thing, the serrated protrusions on the edge of the shell are glowing with a cold blue light, which coincides with the orbit of the seven stars in the northern sky, revealing an unparalleled pressure that suppresses the heaven and earth.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."

A huge black snake poked out its ferocious head from behind its tortoise shell, its body winding like the Nine Netherworlds River hanging upside down, its eyes burning with two clusters of red-gold demonic fire, its scales glowing with a cold light like the ghost fire of the underworld.

Its shape can calm the mountains and rivers, and its power can intimidate all spirits!Chaos gave birth to the spirit turtle, and Xuanming gave birth to the soaring snake. Xuanxu responded, the turtle and the snake merged, carrying the Nine Palaces and stepping on the Big Dipper, Xuantian Emperor (Zhenwu Emperor) suppressed the North Sea!

This is exactly the Dharma image of the mythical beast of the North Pole of heaven and earth - "Zu Xuanwu"!

"The mysterious sky is dark, the Big Dipper illuminates the shape; the black tortoise is bright, the water virtue is spiritual!"

The Great Emperor Zhenwu wielded the Demon-Slaying Sword, and the sword body attracted the essence of the innate Kan water.

Above Xuanwu, the head of the black snake raised its head and spit out its tongue. Its body was like a black lightning, breaking through the air and tearing through the vine formation. From the misty water vapor, it went straight to the face of Emperor Donghua.

Emperor Donghua sneered when he saw this, and moved forward to meet him, sneering:

"Zu Xuanwu, you were just a loyal dog under Zulong in the past, wagging its tail and begging for mercy. Now you have become a lackey and minion of the Jade Emperor."

"It's a pity that you have no control over your own life in both lives, bound by power, and it will be difficult for you to find freedom!"

"Donghua Purple Mansion, Shaoyang Emperor, decrees Qingyang Kaitai, Yimu is born!"

"A little bit of chaos sows a blue lotus, and the eternal true spirit illuminates the universe!"

"The lotus has thirty-six grades, and the leaves have three thousand patterns!"

……

This "dragon head crutch" is also the iconic magic weapon of Dong Wanggong, symbolizing the supreme authority of the head of male immortals.

This "dragon head crutch" was bestowed by the Taoist ancestor in Zixiao Palace, giving Dong Wanggong the authority to command the male immortals in the prehistoric world. It has the ability to command all immortals and suppress luck, and it is also an innate spiritual treasure.

The "Dragon Head Cane" and the "Haotian Mirror" have the power to monitor the heaven and earth and maintain order. They are both treasures bestowed by the Taoist Ancestor on the Emperor of Heaven, symbolizing the Emperor's luck and majesty in commanding the three realms.

With so many innate spiritual treasures in hand, Dong Wanggong had the capital to compete with Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun for the throne of Heavenly Emperor.

"Donghua's Imperial Decree, the 36th-grade Azure Lotus Realm - Open!"

The tongue of Emperor Donghua utters thunder and mysterious sounds.

Just as it is written in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine: "The east gives birth to wind, and wind gives birth to wood." Wood energy is the beginning of Shaoyang, containing the most original vitality between heaven and earth, and is the source of the growth and reproduction of all things.

Emperor Donghua is the "Emperor of Shaoyang in Zifu, Donghua" and is honored with the title "Mugong". He can command the wood virtue energy of the east in the Three Realms and his words can be followed by laws.

"Roar!"

But with a dragon's roar, the phantom of the "Eastern Green Dragon" on the top of the dragon's head crutch raised its head and roared.

The roots of a sacred Fusang tree meandered down from the sky, penetrating through layers of void and plunging into the battlefield like a giant dragon holding up the sky.

In an instant, the battlefield changed dramatically, the grass and trees became lush and full of vitality, transforming into the illusion of "Eastern Yi Wood".

The light from Emperor Donghua was so bright that it was like a blazing blue sun, piercing through the sky and making the sun and the moon pale in comparison.

Afterwards, the light gradually condensed and turned into a huge green "Chaos Green Lotus".

I saw a green lotus slowly sprouting in the chaos.

Its leaves are like jade carvings, bright and soft, shining brightly; its stems are like crystal, clear and transparent, as if they can reflect the shapes of all things in the world; when its flowers bloom, they shine brightly, as if they can illuminate the world; its aura is ancient and profound, as if it carries the beginning of the universe and contains the end of the world.

Because it is the treasure of creation, it is also called "Green Lotus of Creation".

The shape of the "Chaos Green Lotus" is a thirty-six-grade green lotus. After Pangu created the world, the Chaos Green Lotus was too powerful and could not be tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. It disintegrated into many innate magic weapons, which were scattered between heaven and earth.

Such as the Precious Lotus Lantern, the Mountain and River State Map, the Twelve-Level Merit Golden Lotus, the Qingping Sword, the Earth Book, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda...

The Emperor Donghua is revered in Taoism as "Shaoyang Lord of Donghua Zifu" and "Mugong", representing the "essence of Eastern Wood Virtue", which is exactly the same as the "wood origin attribute" of the Chaos Green Lotus.
