Chapter 1562: Heavenly Demon Suppresses An Evil God

“Hmph... like I’m scared of you.” Ye Qing was shocked, but he wasn’t afraid. A cold grunt escaped his lips, and the Innate Yin Yang Qi his nose. It manifested the Five Phases, birthed all things, and created the world.

In just the blink of an eye, it felt as if a world was being created in this endless space. This world was ephemeral, non-existent, and free. It was the Paranirmita Vasavartin Heaven.

At the same time, Ye Qing’s mind grew infinitely tall and wide. Yin and yang came to tie his hair and weave a crown above his head, dark yellow spawned out of nowhere and formed a set of clothes around his body, and nothingness gathered around his feet to form a pair of slippers. It was the Heavenly Demon of Freedom.

When Ye Qing was still a Grandmaster, he had forged a Heavenly Demon of Freedom yang god using the “Records of Laojun Studying The Dao On A Bull” as the roots, and the “Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon Sutra” and the “Earthly Sovereign Scripture” as the key components. Even then, it already boasted immeasurable power and profoundness.

After he became a Sage, his mind naturally grew by leaps and bounds thanks to the tempering of the Natural Yin Yang Great Way Tribulation. His mind was denser, and his yang god was stronger. Combined with his understanding and mastery of the interpromotion and interrestraint of yin and yang, both his Paranirmita Vasavartin Heaven and Heavenly Demon yang god were far, far greater than what they used to be.

When Ye Qing tapped his finger, his Paranirmita Vasavartin Heaven shook without a sound.

Intangible cloudy qi poured out like tidal waves, crushing the energy of disaster and power of calamity in dominant, crushing fashion.

The cloudy qi did not stop there after sweeping the offending power away. In fact, it grew even stronger and surged toward the Impending Disaster like a river that poured into the sea; a devastating lightning strike that descended from the nine firmaments.

Ye Qing’s gesture seemed to anger the Impending Disaster. Its lower body shook slightly, and disasters appeared.

A wind so terrible that it destroyed mountains and cracked the earth blew.

A hail so frigid that it froze an entire realm appeared.

A rain so fierce that the water turned into a world-ending flood descended.

A fire so intense that it scorched the heavens and boiled the sea burst into existence.

A plague so deadly that it killed anything and everything in its path spread.

......

As if that wasn’t enough, the wind promoted the snow’s momentum, the snow increased the rain’s potency, and the rain promoted the plague’s spread. The clashing disasters only fueled each other’s growth instead of decreasing them.

It looked like it would end the world itself.

Ye Qing remained calm despite the disasters spreading his way. He leisurely sat down on a throne that appeared out of nowhere and breathed out a single word:

“Suppress.”

The wind instantly ceased at his command.

“Disappear.”

The ice and snow all melted into nothing.

“Stop.”

The rain died, the flood vanished, and the clouds faded away into nothing.

“Destroy.”

The fire extinguished, and the sky became bright and clear once more.

“Scatter.”

The plague faded away, and the air turned cool and refreshing.

He was the king of this world, and his words shaped its very fabric.

Right after the disasters faded, the cloudy qi slammed against the Impending Disaster’s body like a river.

The cloudy qi looked weak, ephemeral, and weightless. In reality, it was conjured from Ye Qing’s spirit was as vast, heavy, and dense as profound yellow, as flexible and everchanging as yin and yang, and as free as the Heavenly Demon’s demonic thought.

Therefore, the infinite chaos surrounding the Impending Disaster was easily scattered by the cloudy qi. Now, it was the Stranger’s turn to flicker unsteadily in the storm.

“MOOOO...”

The Impending Disaster was enraged to be taunted by a mortal so. The next moment, chaotic light that extinguished anything and everything shot out of his vertical pupil. It was the light of tribulation and destruction, and it represented the Impending Disaster’s power over tribulations.

The Impending Disaster’s bull-like ears flapped wildly, kicking up a gust of bluish red wind that could scatter everything. It was the wind of disaster and evil, and it represented the Impending Disaster’s power over disasters.

The Impending Disaster’s elephant-like nose rolled wildly and crushingly. At the same time, lightning and fire descended toward Ye Qing. It was the fire of chaos and scourges, and it represented the Impending Disaster’s power over scourges.

The Impending Disaster’s crocodile-like mouth opened, and filthy, corrupted air rushed out of it. It was the qi of plagues and calamities, and it represented the Impending Disaster’s power over calamities.

This time, it was Ye Qing who lost the clash. First, the cloudy qi was broken into pieces by the light of tribulation and destruction before scattered into nothing by the wind of disaster and evil. Then, the elephant nose struck his Paranirmita Vasavartin Heaven and scattered lightning and flames everywhere.

Rumble...

As his Paranirmita Vasavartin Heaven crumbled inch by inch, the qi of plague slipped through the gaps and annihilated anything and everything.

“Well, I guess I had enough fun anyway.”

Despite seeing his Paranirmita Vasavartin Heaven collapsing, and the qi of plague encroaching, Ye Qing remained perfectly unperturbed. He held out his hand, and the Earthly Sovereign Bell slowly manifested into existence.

Ye Qing tapped a finger against the Earthly Sovereign Bell, causing a melodious ringing and throwing the Strange Artifact forward.

The chime was a chime that could hold qian and kun together. And so the crumbling Paranirmita Vasavartin Heaven stopped crumbling and froze as if time had stopped.

Profound yellow seeped out and clashed the encroaching filth and plague. It was completely one-sided. Like the snow facing the sun, or a sheep encountering a tiger, the plague was destroyed or evaporated in an instant.

“The Earthly Sovereign Bell!”

An androgynous cry of shock, fear, and anger erupted from the Impending Disaster.

At the same time, the heavens shook, and more disasters spawned from every direction. Wind and fire, hail and river, plague and tribulations flooded in from every direction.

For a time, all of the world was chaotic and lightless.

Still, ye Qing remained seated. He simply made a pulling gesture, and the Earthly Sovereign Bell began spinning in mid-air.

As it spun, the Earthly Sovereign Bell grew bigger, its chime grew louder, and its light grew brighter.

The whispers and enraged screams that shook the heavens, and the disasters and calamities that were overflowing with power were either shattered by the chime or scattered by the light.

Not only that, the sun, moon and stars; mountains and rivers; dragons, phoenixes and auspicious beasts etched on the walls of the Earthly Sovereign Bell took form as it continued to grow larger. They moved with the chime and traveled with the profound light. They annihilated every speck of evil and filth, disasters and tribulations. They filled what was a dark, chaotic world with light.

In the light, the Impending Disaster was melting bit by bit. It was obvious that it was in terrible pain.

Sensing danger, the Impending Disaster tried to flee this place.

It was at this moment dark light rose into the air and formed the sky.

Yellow light descended and formed the earth.

And the bell chime rang and reforged earth, water, wind and fire.

And so the world of profound yellow was formed.

If the world of profound yellow was a cage, then the Impending Disaster was its prisoner. No matter how it struggled, it was unable to break free from its restraints or leave its cage.

THANG...

THANG...

THANG...

Its struggles did not last long. The bell rang three times, and the sky descended at the same time as the earth ascended. The four elements were closing in on the Impending Disaster from all directions as well. The world of profound yellow was shrinking rapidly.

When the Impending Disaster was completely enveloped and covered up by the world of profound yellow, it turned back into a bronze bell and landed back on Ye Qing’s palm.

The Earthly Sovereign Bell continued to shake incessantly after it landed on Ye Qing’s palm, ringing. Clearly, its prisoner wasn’t done yet.

“You may be a god, but your fate is sealed from the moment you enter my palm.”

Ye Qing tapped the Earthly Sovereign Bell three times. Each time, the intensity of the shaking would decrease visibly.

Three taps later, the Earthly Sovereign Bell had become as quiet and still as normal.

Ye Qing flipped his wrist around, and the Earthly Sovereign Bell disappeared. Then, his consciousness returned to his body.

Inside the Taoist monastery, Ye Qing’s body twitched, and his eyes slowly regained their color and focus.

“Phew...” Ye Qing opened his mouth and let out a murky breath.

The battle just now felt long, but it really only lasted an instant. To an outsider, it looked like he had become distracted for an instant. In reality, he just fought a life-or-death battle.
