Chapter 438: Chapter 278: Cause and Effect_2

Over the years, Taoist Scriptures had been disseminated throughout the world, and many studied them, including the Pavilion of Heavenly Mechanism. Thus, Dao Wuya also had some understanding of the Curse Killing Skill, and knew that it specifically targeted the Divine Soul and was extremely difficult to guard against, very formidable indeed.

Although he was a Divine-Intent Martial Artist and had cultivated the “Qiankun Bagua Body,” fusing his physical body and Divine Soul completely, that didn’t mean he was immune to the effects of Curse Skills. If attacked, his physical body would suffer alongside his Divine Soul, for to a Divine-Intent Martial Artist, the body is the Primordial Spirit, and the Primordial Spirit is the body, indistinguishable from each other.

“Wuya!”

“What’s happening?”

As soon as he realized the predicament, he heard a call from the outside world. Dao Wuya awoke with a start, only to see his master and his ancestor looking at him with anxious expressions.

“Master, Ancestor, that person used Evil Skills to harm me. We must break the strange celestial phenomena outside Dao Concealing Peak immediately. We cannot let his Curse Spell succeed!”

While Taoist Scriptures had been widely shared, they primarily covered fundamental cultivation techniques and methods for attack, defense, and killing like Talismans and Magic Artifacts; Curse Skills were only mentioned briefly without much explanation. There were no “Hiding Skills,” “Body Protection Spells,” or “Tribulation-evasion Skills” meant for breaking them.

Although Dao Wuya knew he had been struck by a Curse Skill, he did not know how to break it and could only rely on the most primitive methods to cope.

Meet the soldier on the field, cover with earth the water that comes, dismantle the moves as they appear!

No matter the Curse Skill or killing method, in the end, they are all attacks. If the defense is strong enough, one can certainly withstand the assault.

Moreover, directly attacking the caster of the curse to disrupt their Curse Skill is also a way to overcome it.

Thus, Dao Wuya made a decisive decision, asking the two to disperse the strange celestial phenomena outside Dao Concealing Peak, while he stayed in Qiankun Hall, relying on the Qiankun Bagua to resist the curse killing.

“Alright!”

Hearing this, the two didn’t say much and immediately set out.

Dao Wuya sat down on the ground, running his Yuan Skill, arranging the formation patterns, aligning the human heart with heaven’s heart, combined with the dispelled effects of the Eternal Evergreen Pill, he fully resisted the Curse Skill’s assault.

Then they saw…

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The three mountains and five peaks, surrounding from all sides, heavily pressed down on Dao Wuya, sparking fiery flashes and clanging sonorously.

Martial Artists inherently have robust physiques. After stepping into the Divine Intent Realm, they gain a connection with the Divine, forging their bodies day and night. They are no less than Cultivators with Magical Treasures; some fierce figures, such as those who are known as the four great Fighting War Saint Bodies—Heaven’s Calamity Slaying the Wolf, Subduing Dragon and Tiger Body, Overlord Non-urgent Body, and Broken Vajra Skill—their bodies are so strong that they can even rival Spiritual Treasures.

Though the Pavilion of Heavenly Mechanism was not among these, its Qiankun Body combined with the Bagua formation’s defense was also top-notch. Even with three mountains and five peaks pressing from all sides, they only managed to spark fires and clang against it, completely unable to crush its bodily cultivation.

However…

“Moo!!!”

Above the firmament, the wind and clouds changed dramatically, and an Ancient Green Bull came thundering, seemingly dragging the entire sky like a plow.

Green Bull, its body a lush greenery, except for its horns, which gleamed with the radiance of colorful thunderbolts.

Yimu Thunder!

Thunder of Ding Fire!

Thunder of Ji Earth!

Thunder of Xin Metal!

Thunder of Kui Water!

The Five Elements Divine Thunder, empowered its horns.

The Green Bull bellowed, dragging the Heavenly Plow that also shone with colorful radiance, all the Five Elements Divine Thunder.

“!!!”

Seeing this scene, even someone as powerful as Dao Wuya couldn’t help but change color.

This curse, this thunder, was no small matter, no small matter!

His heart was filled with shock, truly panic-stricken.

But at this point, he had no other choice but to forcefully drive the Qiankun Bagua and withstand the Green Bull’s thunderous plow.

“Moo!!!”

The Green Bull came charging, pulling the Five Thunders Heavenly Plow, and it crashed down upon Dao Wuya’s head.

The Taoist Curse Skill met the Five Elements Divine Thunder, striking the Qiankun Body, the Bagua formation.

“Boom!!!”

When the ultimate clash occurred, a thunderous roar erupted.

Inside the Qiankun Hall, Dao Wuya’s body trembled. He felt an intense pain in his head, as if the world was spinning, and he fell to the ground involuntarily.

His flesh, muscles, bones, and internal organs all rose in rebellion, bursting into mists of blood, soaking and reddening his Taoist robe.

And this was only the beginning!

“Moo! Moo! Moo!”

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The Green Bull kept pulling the Heavenly Plow, thundering with Five Elements Thunder, back and forth, over and over again, plowing his head, constantly grinding it, breaking and re-breaking.

The intense pain was an inhuman torture; even a Divine Intent Venerable was twisted and convulsed by the force.

With each plow and thunder, mountains shattered, rocks split, heads burst, blood flowed, the Qiankun overturned, and the Bagua broke apart.

…

Outside Qiankun Hall, within Dao Concealing Peak.

“Everyone, that demon is using Evil Skills, trying to subvert our heavenly calculations. We absolutely cannot let him succeed. Let’s join forces and break this strange phenomenon!”

The two Divine Intent Venerables of the Pavilion of Heavenly Mechanism hurried out, directly recruiting the black and white Taoist horsemen waiting outside the hall to take action.

“…”

“…”

Hearing this, both groups were deeply furrowed in concern, but they did not shirk their duty. Chen Tianjie, clad in Mysterious Iron armor, was especially decisive, leaping into the sky, intent on shaking the Yang Yun thunderstorm.

This affair, traced back to its roots, was initiated by his Iron Heart Fortress. If he hadn’t sought the Evil Emperor’s relic, pursued the Tian Wu Remnants, annihilated the Su Family, he wouldn’t have awakened that Heaven Martial Emperor, leading to all this subsequent trouble.

Although the resurrection of that person might not be related to him, the enmity was inextricably formed, tied deeper than even the Pavilion of Heavenly Mechanism. If they failed to eliminate that person now, once he gained momentum in the future, Iron Heart Fortress would certainly be the first to bear the brunt.

Thus, Chen Tianjie was very decisive, leaping up, soaring into the sky, displaying the power of the Heavenly Tribulation Demon God, aiming to shatter the extensive Yang Yun thunder.

The Thunderbolt Strength could overcome Mysterious Iron Divine Weapons.

However, Chen Tianjie, who had combined the Heavenly Demon Great Skill to cultivate the Heavenly Tribulation Demon God, had long since lost such weaknesses, not only unafraid of Earth Yuan Unlimited but also undaunted by Tianshu Thunder Rage. The enactments of the Righteous Path’s two Divine Martial Heritages that once constrained his body were now nullified.
