by post_apiVolume 6 Chapter 135: Great Brahma
The "All Immortals Formation" is not without the power to stand against Great Brahma. After all, it is one of the most important secret weapons relied upon by the righteous path, and its strength is not just this little bit.
At this moment, their situation was so desperate because there was no one to command them, and they did not know what to do. After all, it was an array made up of more than four thousand cultivators, and it was completely impossible for everyone to think together and react in unison.
"Change the formation! All swords unite, spirits of immortals descend!"
As Mr. Liu sent a command to the over four thousand cultivators within the "All Immortals Formation" through mental connection, all the cultivators felt a surge of energy and quickly followed Mr. Liu’s orders, changing their hand signs.
With the control of the cultivators, the power of the "All Immortals Formation" immediately changed again.
Around Great Brahma, the remaining Rainbow Spirit Swords, struggling under the assault of the black tornado and barely avoiding being sucked into the black hole, emitted melodious and clear sword sounds. They continuously absorbed the surrounding spirit energy and grew stronger, rapidly gathering together. In the dazzling glow of spiritual light, the over a thousand remaining Rainbow Spirit Swords merged into one, transforming into a massive Rainbow Spirit Sword over a hundred feet long and nearly ten feet wide, roaring with incredible power as it fiercely stabbed towards the black hole in front of Great Brahma.
With the more than a thousand Rainbow Spirit Swords merged into one, their power increased geometrically. Although the black tornado was still strong and the black hole’s pull was still terrifying, it could no longer casually influence the direction of the Rainbow Spirit Sword’s attack and movement as it did before.
The Rainbow Spirit Sword transformed into a seven-colored beam of light, swiftly approaching the black tornado. Wherever it passed, the chaotic world was split in two, but under the black hole’s powerful pull, the Rainbow Spirit Sword gradually slowed down to resist the black hole’s control. When it got close to the black tornado, it became extremely slow, moving forward almost inch by inch.
Although the sword attack was slow, it was unwavering.
At the same time, white clouds broke through the endless dark clouds that had gathered in the sky due to the black hole’s immense pull, descending upon Immortal Zizhen, Mr. Liu, and the fifteen human masters, as well as the four hundred Immortal Puppets behind them.
The white clouds flashed and vanished, but as they entered the bodies of the masters and Immortal Puppets, a strong Immortal Spirit Qi surrounded them. The masters felt a wave of calmness, and although the black tornado was still powerful, it seemed less unbeatable. The Spirit Qi in their bodies flowed more smoothly, and they could use their abilities more naturally and quickly.
The Immortal Puppets instantly became much stronger. Earlier, they had no power to resist under the might of the black hole and were moving toward it uncontrollably. However, after the white clouds entered their bodies, they were able to stabilize themselves.
"Boom…"
With a sound as if the sky and earth were falling, a powerful explosion sounded as the giant Rainbow Spirit Sword finally pierced into the black tornado.
The wild winds of the black tornado could not stop the force of the giant Rainbow Spirit Sword. The Rainbow Giant Sword broke through the black tornado and pierced into the black hole at its center.
Great Brahma seemed surprised that the Righteous Alliance still had the strength to change their strategy at this moment. His expression grew more serious, but he remained calm, focusing all his effort on increasing the black hole’s power.
This was a direct confrontation between Great Brahma and the "All Immortals Formation." The black hole tried to pull in the Rainbow Giant Sword and crush it, while the Rainbow Giant Sword aimed to destroy the structure of the black hole, making it vanish. A silent yet extremely dangerous battle began.
After the Rainbow Giant Sword intersected with the black hole, it was quickly pulled in about one-fifth of its blade by the immense gravitational force of the black hole. However, the Rainbow Spirit Sword stabilized quickly, bursting forth with dazzling rainbow light, constantly enhancing its own power to disrupt the structure of the black hole while fully stabilizing its blade and resisting the damage from the black hole.
The battlefield suddenly became tense.
However, because the black hole was fully focused on the Rainbow Giant Sword, it no longer had the strength to deal with anything else. The black tornado, which was formed by the black hole’s pull, quickly faded away without the support of the black hole, and the chaotic situation around "Black Emperor Cliff" gradually calmed down, leaving only devastation behind.
The Rainbow Giant Sword was made up of over a thousand Rainbow Spirit Swords. However, since the black hole had already destroyed eight or nine of them, it seemed somewhat weakened. After roughly a cup of tea’s time of fighting, it gradually fell to the disadvantage, with the blade starting to inch closer and closer into the black hole.
With the ravages of the black tornado gone, Qinglingzi could now properly command the "All Immortals Formation." Seeing the changes on the battlefield, without needing Mr. Liu to remind him, he waved his hand, and another beam of rainbow light shot into the sky.
Seeing Qinglingzi’s command, the formation of "All Immortals Formation" changed again. With the combined efforts of over four thousand cultivators, the Spirit Qi within hundreds of miles around "Black Emperor Cliff" quickly gathered towards it, forming a vortex of Spirit Qi that continuously merged into the Rainbow Giant Sword, strengthening its power.
As the power of the Rainbow Giant Sword kept increasing, it gradually began to turn the tide. Not only did the blade stop getting pulled into the black hole, but its violent destructive force also started wreaking havoc inside the black hole, intensifying the damage, while the black hole began to destabilize and pulse.
Seeing this situation, Great Brahma became anxious.
Just as Zhang Xusheng suspected, his true strength was not as formidable as it seemed. He could unleash such overwhelming power only by using the Shura clan’s secret technique, sacrificing the remainder of his life and soul for strength many times greater than his own.
Because he knew that, under the current situation, he could not hold back the Righteous Alliance in the remaining ten days, what he sought now was to use up as much of the human cultivators’ strength as possible to create a better chance for his people.
However, he did not expect that the human cultivators would be so quick to react. His sacrifice not only failed to kill a single human cultivator but instead put him in a dangerous position, resulting in a loss.
As the black hole in front of him became more unstable, despair flashed in his eyes, replaced by a fierce determination.
At the same time, the fifteen masters of the Righteous Alliance rushed near the "Black Emperor Cliff." Not far from him, they were about to use the Rainbow Giant Sword to hold him back while attacking him.
"Break!"
Suddenly, Great Brahma’s black pupils quickly expanded, the whites of his eyes disappeared, leaving only pitch darkness. His face became paler, and he coughed up a large mouthful of blood that vanished into the black hole.
"Boom…"
Then, the black hole exploded, and a mushroom cloud rose above the "Black Emperor Cliff," destroying both itself and the Rainbow Giant Sword. The immense force wreaked havoc around the "Black Emperor Cliff," causing space to twist as if the world were about to shatter.
The masters of the Righteous Alliance were now less than a few miles away from Great Brahma, yet they did not expect him to be so decisive, willing to inflict great harm on himself to take them down as well. Even though the masters reacted quickly, swiftly retracting their attacks to protect themselves, the explosion of the black hole was far too powerful. Although their defensive barriers were strong and their spells mysterious, aside from Immortal Zizhen, Mr. Liu, Zhang Xusheng, and Li Fulu, the other eleven masters sustained varying degrees of internal injuries during the shock.
Behind all the masters, dozens of Immortal Puppets at the front instantly collapsed and vanished, while the divine light on the other Immortal Puppets dimmed slightly.
Qinglingzi reacted very quickly this time and was not shocked by the sudden changes around. He shot a colorful spirit arrow into the sky again. Under the control of the "All Immortals Formation," countless white rays of light fell from the sky and landed on the eleven injured masters, filled with the purest Immortal Spirit Qi. With the aid of this abundant Immortal Spirit Qi, the injuries of the wounded masters began to heal at an astonishing speed.
Although the situation was looking very good, the power of the previous black hole explosion was still fresh in everyone’s memory. The masters looked at each other in silence, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.
"Is that Great Brahma dead?"
After a long time, Scholar Buxing finally calmed down and asked the other masters around him in confusion.
The power of the earlier black hole explosion was so terrifying, and Great Brahma was right next to it. By all accounts, he must have been injured more seriously than anyone else, perhaps even to the point of his body breaking apart.
However, Great Brahma’s strength left a profound impression on all the masters. Even though the black hole explosion was so powerful, no one could clearly answer Scholar Buxing’s question; they all shook their heads in confusion and looked towards "Black Emperor Cliff."
At the same time, each master couldn’t help but think that if just one Great Brahma was so powerful and caused everyone to be so flustered, how could they handle the more than a hundred Shura Clan members that had been freed from their seals? According to ancient records, these members were the strongest of the Shura Clan, and nearly ten of them were just as strong as Great Brahma! How would they deal with these Shura Clan members? Was victory even possible?
For a moment, hesitation flickered in almost everyone’s eyes.
Seeing that all the masters except Mr. Liu, Zhang Xusheng, and Li Fulu were greatly intimidated by Great Brahma’s strength, Immortal Zizhen sighed silently and suddenly said, "Dear friends, you bear the fate of all humanity. If even you begin to fear the Shura Clan, what hope do we have left? Please remember, first, this Great Brahma was the Grand Elder of the Shura Clan. Not every member of the Shura Clan is as strong as he is. Secondly, even if every member of the Shura Clan were as powerful as him, or even stronger, we cannot show any weakness. Our fear only makes the Shura Clan seem more formidable. Each time we back down, it costs countless humans their suffering. In the past, even at their peak, the Shura Clan was defeated by us. Do we really believe that this time, with only a hundred members left, we cannot prevail?"
Upon hearing Immortal Zizhen’s words, each master showed a look of shame and bowed respectfully, acknowledging their lesson. When they straightened up, their expressions had returned to their usual calm confidence.
Zhang Xusheng watched this scene and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. This Immortal Zizhen, while not remarkable in other ways, truly was a born leader.
At this moment, the smoke billowed. Under the tremendous power of the black hole explosion, large amounts of dust soared into the sky, blocking out the bright sun. The world became dim. This was especially true around the "Black Emperor Cliff," where endless dust surrounded them. For a moment, it felt as though everyone was trapped in a world of smoke, with everything shrouded in gray.
Mr. Liu, seeing that the masters had returned to normal, slightly nodded and waved his hand. A white spiritual bead shot into the sky, emitting countless rays of light, scattering the smoke wherever it touched.
In a moment, the gray world returned to normal, and the dust settled.
The masters looked towards the "Black Emperor Cliff" and saw that under the tremendous force of the recent explosion, the towering cliff had lowered by more than ten feet. In fact, the ground within a hundred miles around the "Black Emperor Cliff" had been eroded by nearly a yard.
On the "Black Emperor Cliff," the already severely injured Great Brahma lay in the center. His right arm and left leg were broken, there were four or five large holes in his chest, and half of his head was missing. Blood soaked the earth around him for several feet. He lay still, appearing as if he were dead.
Just as all the masters sighed in relief upon seeing this scene, the Great Brahma, who should have been dead, suddenly moved again.
Great Brahma’s body suddenly trembled, then he opened his eyes wide, revealing endless depths of darkness within.
Struggling and fighting, Great Brahma managed to stand upright using only one arm and one leg, as if he did not want to show his helplessness in front of humans. His cold, dark eyes stared at the masters floating not far ahead, the look of despair so clear, and although his eyes seemed injured, his powerful aura remained unchanged. It was clear to everyone that Great Brahma was completely worn out.
Seeing this scene, even the masters who opposed him could not help but show admiration.
The Shura Clan may be brutal and bloodthirsty, and often seem irrational, but no one can deny their fierce strength; compared to humans, they are more like born warriors.
Even when faced with such a Great Brahma, none of the masters were willing to take the chance to strike the final blow.
However, Immortal Zizhen sighed softly and, with a wave of his hand, an Immortal Puppet behind him swiftly dashed towards Great Brahma. A vast Immortal Spirit Qi condensed in front of it, transforming into a long sword wrapped in lightning, fiercely stabbing towards Great Brahma.
"Puff…"
The sound of the sword piercing into the body was clearly heard; the powerful destructive force of the Immortal Spirit Sword began to wreak havoc inside Great Brahma. His broken body started to explode piece by piece, and moments later, only a skeleton remained, as blood and flesh turned into swirling crimson mist.
This skeleton was unlike an ordinary person’s; its hands and feet were sharp, its head bore two horns, it had two sharp fangs in its mouth, and its eyes were much larger than those of a normal human.
Upon seeing this skeletal remains, all the masters couldn’t help but frown.
First, before the attack, Great Brahma’s body was already broken, but after it shattered, this skeletal remains had complete limbs and stood over three meters tall. Secondly, under the attack from the Immortal Puppet, Great Brahma’s body should have been completely shattered, including the bones. The fact that some bones remained was quite strange.
It seemed that things were not completely over.
As if to confirm the masters’ suspicions, the blood mist around the remaining skeleton did not dissipate; instead, it enveloped the Immortal Puppet in front of it. The Immortal Puppet was unable to struggle and was quickly corroded, instantly merging into the blood mist.
Then, the blood mist gathered again around the skeleton, writhing and transforming into flesh and veins, attaching themselves to the outside of the bones.
Gradually, a brand-new body was formed.
In just a moment, the blood mist had completely merged into this newly formed body.
Once the blood mist was gone, Great Brahma appeared before the masters in a new form: a dragon head, a snake tail, horse hooves, wolf claws, covered in blue scales, with long, thick, blood-red hair that floated on its own without wind.
This was the true body of Great Brahma; the previous image of the old human was just his disguise.
"Hmph, dragon demon race! I should have realized that long ago."
Seeing Great Brahma’s new form, Mr. Liu snorted softly and slowly said.
The Shura Clan has more than seventy branches, and the dragon demon clan is the strongest among them. If they weren’t so few in number, they would have already led the Shura Clan.
"Sigh, now that you have returned to your true form, what can you do? You have already burned out; even like this, you definitely won’t last long."
Zhang Xusheng sighed at Great Brahma, his words holding no hostility, only regret.
"Dear friends, please solve this quickly; we still need to search for other members of the Shura Clan."
Immortal Zizhen said.
"I, my people, have been sealed by you for far too long. Now that we have finally regained our freedom, as long as I am alive, I will not allow you to harm them again!"
After returning to his true form, Great Brahma seemed to have forgotten the human language, speaking in broken sentences.
Just then, Li Fulu suddenly moved.
