Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Demon Tribe’s Green Emperor Ling Weiyang
The Taoist in black robes snatched the River Map and Luo Book and turned to leave.
His cultivation was imnsely profound; rely a casual wave from him had injured Wukong. Now, without the Extermination Immortal Sword, Wukong was utterly incapable of defeating him. The Taoist gave a cold sweep of his eyes around but, not finding Wukong’s figure again, he snorted coldly and continued northward.
Just then, a teal divine light soared into the sky!
This teal luminance poured out like a galaxy, as if penetrating heaven and earth, distorting the void around it, sending winds into a frenzy, lightning flashing, and torrential rain pouring… With just one move, he invoked the heavenly phenona. The mana of this person was truly terrifying!
“Ling Weiyang?!” the Taoist in black robes exclaid softly, “You’re not dead yet!”
Demon Tribe’s Green Emperor, Ling Weiyang.
This person was transford from a Green Lotus, receiving spiritual energy from a lotus root seed within the Heaven-Opening Blue Lotus, and later cultivated into the Tao. In ancient tis, he was quite famous, the Demon Tribe’s Green Emperor, but after the sky shattered and Nuwa nded the heavens with the Five-Colored Stone, he had vanished without a trace. His sudden appearance now was truly astonishing.
Ling Weiyang used a Green Lotus as his magical treasure, which could unleash a teal light, piercing through heaven and earth and reviving the inanimate, extrely powerful.
The newcor was indeed the Green Emperor, who within the Demon Tribe had his own temple, worshipped by myriad demons with incense, whose statues they venerated. He was recognized by all in the Demon Tribe.
But this Green Emperor Ling Weiyang was quite aged, with white hair and beard, wrinkles forming at the corners of his eyes, and his skin gaunt; yet, looking at his face, one could still guess what a splendidly handso man he must have been in his youth. He held a Green Lotus, which gently swayed, wrapped in the Chaotic Qi and green light, its power unfathomable.
Ling Weiyang said, “Tong Tian Taoist, back when the Heavenly Emperor carved out an agreent with the Ancestral Demon of the Demon Abyss in the Northern Region, it was stipulated that you should not cause trouble in the Southern Ridge, have you forgotten?”
“Tong Tian Taoist?” Wukong was startled upon hearing Ling Weiyang address the black-robed Taoist as Tong Tian. “Isn’t Tong Tian Taoist the current Tathagata? When Laozi transford into the Buddha on his journey westward through Hangu Pass, Tong Tian Taoist was reborn and entered under Amitabha, mastering the Mahayana Buddhism, honored as a sovereign of this world. If this person is Tong Tian Taoist, then who is Tathagata?”
Ever since this Taoist appeared, every mber of the Demon Tribe around had dispersed. They were deeply wary of the demon lord from the Demon Abyss of the Northern Region.
Tong Tian Taoist chuckled and said, “Ling Weiyang, I am here precisely on the command of my Ancestral Demon.”
Ling Weiyang then said, “Back then, the River Map and Luo Book were under the jurisdiction of our Demon Tribe’s Heavenly Emperor, and I didn’t see Luo Hou asking for them. Now that our Heavenly Emperor is gone, are you starting to act up?”
Taoist Daoist laughed strangely, “Ling Weiyang, your Dao wound is indeed difficult to heal, and you have begun to age. It won’t be long before you et the fate of drawing cakes. I advise you to save so Mana, so as not to hasten your transformation into ashes by fighting against .”
Ling Weiyang burst into laughter and said, “When I was Green Emperor, how proud was I? How could I allow you to desecrate !”
As soon as he finished speaking, they were fighting, and Green Lotus was summoned, sending out ten thousand strands of green light.
Taoist Daoist summoned a longevity lock chain, and imdiately, dark light surged, covering a hundred miles around. The green light fell like raindrops, but the dark light acted like an umbrella, blocking all the green light. The Taoist Daoist looked stern; although this Green Emperor was old, he dared not be careless, for a slight mistake could result in complete annihilation.
Ling Weiyang saw how formidable the Taoist Daoist’s Magical Treasure was, so he flew up, carrying the Green Lotus and struck the dark light screen. Imdiately, a “crack” was heard, and Mana surged wildly from Ling Weiyang’s Primordial Spirit, his white hair flying all over the sky. The strength of this strike, Wukong estimated, might be thirty million catties!
“Boom!”
Taoist Daoist was shaken by the aftermath, his throat sweetened, nearly spitting blood. Seeing the dark light broken, he hurriedly summoned the longevity lock to strike at Ling Weiyang’s chest.
This treasure, nad Heart-Piercing Lock, belongs to the Tong Tian Sect Master, and appears as a longevity lock. The lock body is golden, with Heavenly Dao Inscriptions carved on both sides, and below it are three white jade chains. Once this treasure is summoned, the three white jade chains imdiately transform into nine black jade chains. Upon being hit, the afflicted will have their Three Flowers extinguished, Five Qi dissipated, unable to move their Three Souls, Seven Spirits, or their internal organs, a state where they can neither live nor die.
Cultivators cultivate their Dao, relying on Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Five Qi facing Yuan (Origin), with their essence, Qi, and spirit all included. That’s why high-level battles between cultivators often display their essence, Qi, and spirits rising tumultuously like beacon fires; this is because of the gathering of Three Flowers and the circulation of Five Qi. In the past, the Twelve Golden Immortals, once captured by the Primordial Golden Dou, were entered into the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, where their Three Flowers and Five Qi were cut away. Otherwise, their current Cultivation Levels might have been much greater.
Naturally, Ling Weiyang recognized this formidable Magical Treasure, and, wielding the Green Lotus, he made his move.
Nine black jade chains evolved from those three white jade chains, forming a formation to trap Ling Weiyang.
With a light shout from Ling Weiyang, his essence, Qi, and spirit soared upward like beacon fires, igniting an incalculable number of years of accumulated Incense Willpower in an instant. He pointed out and lightly shouted, “Spring’s Touch!”
The void then produced hints of spring, a myriad of flowers blossoming, birds singing, and all plants welcoming spring, a massive cylindrical wood appearing in the void, about eight fathoms thick and possibly ten thousand fathoms long! As the Green Emperor shifted his finger slightly, the wood moved with it, sweeping away the nine black jade chains in one move—a single force defeating myriad laws! After opening a path through the black jade chains, the wood struck down directly at Taoist Daoist!
“This great injury of your Dao is nourished by Incense Willpower, yet you disregard the harm to your body and forcibly operate Mana by using Incense Willpower. You truly wish for death!” Seeing the formidable Dharma Decree used by Green Emperor Ling Weiyang, Taoist Daoist was imnsely alard, and summoned another whip, nad “Taishui Whip,” which shone no less brilliantly than the God-Beating Whip in the battle to confer divinities.
With a flick of the Taishui Whip, it transford into a Nine-Tailed Snake. With a swish of the tails, it imdiately coiled around the giant wood. Taoist Daoist perford a Dharma Decree to dodge the giant wood, and the transford snake then climbed up the wood, stretching its mouth to bite Ling Weiyang’s arm, displaying extre ferocity!
This Taishui Whip, crafted from the bones of an Ancient Demon Beast, a transforming snake, is incredibly powerful and flexible. Highly skilled cultivators could even summon a transforming snake to combat enemies.
After Green Emperor had employed the Soaring Earth Golden Light, his appearance seed even more aged. Seeing the transforming snake attack, he swung the Green Lotus, unleashing Chaos Qi that morphed into a large bell, exactly resembling the likeness of the Eastern Emperor Bell. It was engraved with images of the sun, the moon, stars, various mythical beasts, landscapes, and more… With one strike, the bell hit the transforming snake right on its forehead!
“Clang!”
A crisp sound rang out as the Eastern Emperor Bell shattered, and the head of the transforming snake also burst open, dispersing into a trail of purple qi.
Daoist Duobao retracted the Taishui Whip and mocked, “Green Emperor Ling Weiyang truly has boundless mana, but I wonder how long it can last?”
Ling Weiyang sneered coldly, his aged face carrying an infinite murderous aura, and said faintly, “I wonder if it’s enough to kill you?”
With a flick of his finger, a massive tree rolled towards them, its sheer weight almost incalculable, crushing anyone it touched into minceat.
Daoist Duobao used the Heart-Piercing Lock to block, entangling the massive tree. As both sides strained against each other, Daoist Duobao found himself at a disadvantage. Then Ling Weiyang swept the Green Lotus overhead, striking Daoist Duobao squarely. Amid the splashing green light, Daoist Duobao was hit so hard he vomited blood, his consolidated energy and spirit scattering as he flew backwards for hundreds of miles before coming to a stop.
“The Ancient tis must have concealed many secrets. Green Emperor Ling Weiyang is a great emperor of the Demon Tribe, yet he bears severe injuries from the Heavenly Dao and can only sustain himself on Incense Willpower, struggling to survive day by day. After the Ancient Era, Di Jun founded the Heavenly Court, becoming the Heavenly Emperor and ruling over all clans, followed by the outbreak of the war between witches and demons… Ancient Tis, what an era it must have been! Perhaps it was as perilous as the great wars of the ancient tis!”
Wukong watched the two great masters battling, tearing heaven and earth asunder, and his heart filled with extre dread. If the Green Emperor possessed such mana, how formidable must Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who dominated the universe, be?
“Leave behind the River Map and Luo Book!” Ling Weiyang roared. With his mana already far exceeding Daoist Duobao’s, and using the Soaring Earth Golden Light to firmly suppress those two Magical Treasures, he relentlessly pursued Daoist Duobao. The latter, battered and bleeding, scrambled away in a pitiable state.
Daoist Duobao, however, chuckled darkly, “Ling Weiyang, today I shall wear you down to death!”
Just as Ling Weiyang seed to be gaining the upper hand, a dragon’s roar, as loud as thunder, suddenly resounded.
“The Ying Long Clan?!” Daoist Duobao’s scalp exploded with shock, grabbing the River Map and Luo Book and fleeing.
Ying Long Clan!
The Ancestral Dragon of the Dragon Clan, known from the tis of Nuwa’s heaven-nding. Its trace vanished after Nuwa’s works, and like Green Emperor Ling Weiyang, it suffered severe injuries from the Heavenly Dao and must daily struggle to survive, maintaining its injuries with Incense Willpower.
“The foundation of the Demon Tribe is truly unfathomably deep! I wondered why Tathagata didn’t seize the opportunity to invade Southern Ridge Demon Mountain! So that’s why, that’s why! After the war of the Ancient Era, you all managed to cling to life by the skin of your teeth!” Daoist Duobao shouted as he hurried away, sweating coldly in shock.
Ling Weiyang tried to pursue, but the roaring from the Ying Long Clan grew fiercer.
At that mont, a Twelfth Rank Black Lotus descended from the sky.
Ling Weiyang, wielding the Green Lotus, struck at it. Upon contact, he was flung backward, his injuries from the Heavenly Dao triggered, leading his skin to split and blood to gush out terrifyingly, rapidly turning him into a bloodied figure.
Daoist Duobao employed the Soaring Earth Golden Light and vanished in the blink of an eye; the Twelfth Rank Black Lotus also disappeared imdiately.
At that mont, four cold lights descended from the sky, the Slaying Immortal Four Swords!
But these Slaying Immortal Swords ca a step too late. Seeing things calm down, they soared into the sky and disappeared. These swords ca swiftly and left swiftly, their traces unnoticed by anyone.
“Where is Daoist Heaven-Defying?” Ling Weiyang, with blood spilling from his mouth, called out loudly.
“I am here.” Wukong appeared, bowing to Ling Weiyang, for Ling Weiyang, as the Green Emperor, indeed deserved his respect.
“In years past, Holy Emperor Fuxi arranged the Eight Trigrams in the void and foretold of my tribulation. He said that this year, the River Map will erge from the Luo waters, and a destined one nad Heaven-Defying will co to claim it. This person, transford from the Five-Colored Stone, is the Intelligent Stone Monkey. I, too, shall return my soul to the Heavenly Dao this year, thus fading into oblivion. Therefore, I’m giving you the Green Lotus to be useful in your future endeavors. It seems his words were indeed correct; here, take the Green Lotus!”
Green Emperor Ling Weiyang threw the Green Lotus in his hand, which transford into a beam of green light and entered Wukong’s Dantian, rooting itself next to the Golden Core, spreading green light and Chaos Qi. Green Emperor then said, “I ultimately cannot escape this tribulation…”
Wukong hastily asked, “Green Emperor! What exactly happened during those Ancient Tis?”
But the Green Emperor had already transford into countless light feathers, scattering and fluttering…
“Through the endless years… Fuxi, I have finally fulfilled your promise.”
Wukong reached out to grasp, but could catch nothing. Only a profound sadness filled his heart, as a great emperor like the Green Emperor had t such an end.
