Chapter 1235: Chapter 1234: Robbing in front of our Heavenly Court Sect?

"Indeed, it’s the Reincarnation Dao Fruit Prototype!" The sudden figure confirmed Lu Yang’s guess.

The situation of the Jiuyou Sect was somewhat similar to that of the Eternity Sect; both used the Power of Faith to condense a Dao Fruit Prototype.

The difference was that the Eternity Sect worshipped an "Immortal Eternity" that didn’t exist, so they not only used the Power of Faith to condense the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit but also created a Fourth Housekeeper.

Whereas the Jiuyou Sect simply believed in reincarnation, so they only condensed the Reincarnation Dao Fruit Prototype.

"Who are you, daring to intrude upon our sect!" Mu Baiyi roared with rage. The Fengdu Festival was held in the highest regard by the Jiuyou Sect, seen as the pinnacle of the Power of Faith with the emergence of the Reincarnation Dao Fruit Prototype as the best example.

The Jiuyou Sect wouldn’t allow anyone to disturb this celebration.

That figure took out a blood-stained long stick, pointing it at Mu Baiyi, the stick’s body pitch black, dyed by the blood of slain enemies, turning from red to black over the years.

"I am Si Heng God Monarch, here under the orders of the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord to pluck the Reincarnation Dao Fruit Prototype. If you know what’s good for you, retreat immediately. If not, you can’t blame me for being unfeeling!"

"Si Heng God Monarch?" Lu Yang narrowed his eyes. According to confessions from prisoners of the Great Qian Dynasty, Si Heng God Monarch was a capable lieutenant of the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord, in possession of a Yin Yang Dao Fruit Prototype, not condensed from the Power of Faith but comprehended through his own enlightenment.

No wonder his timing was impeccable, showing up just as the Reincarnation Dao Fruit Prototype appeared. The Great Qian Dynasty was best at using the Power of Faith to condense a Dao Fruit Prototype.

Si Heng God Monarch had likely been waiting for the Reincarnation Dao Fruit Prototype in the Fengdu Space.

The appearance of Si Heng God Monarch shocked all Jiuyou Sect believers, but they were not frightened, rather enraged, throwing things like teacups, plates, and solar lamps at the airborne Si Heng God Monarch.

With a cold snort, Si Heng God Monarch opened a barrier that prevented these objects from hitting him.

"Fools, it seems the world has forgotten my legend after I haven’t acted for three hundred thousand years!"

"Then try me!" Standing his ground in Fengdu, Mu Baiyi showed no signs of fear.

Moreover, since he had already stated that the fruit on this sapling was the Reincarnation Dao Fruit Prototype, he couldn’t afford to back down.

Si Heng God Monarch swung his bloody long stick at Mu Baiyi.

"Abyss Hell’s Big Grinding Plate!"

The Big Grinding Plate appeared, laying before Mu Baiyi.

"You think something like this could stop me!"

A boom resounded—before the Big Grinding Plate could show its mystery, it was smashed to pieces by Si Heng God Monarch.

However, behind the Big Grinding Plate was not Mu Baiyi, but six pitch-black coffins.

"Rise!"

Mu Baiyi shouted, and the lids of the coffins flew open as six corpses stiffly bounced out of them.

"These six are what Junior Brother Li spoke of as the Jiuyou Sect’s strongest foundation, right?" Lu Yang asked Meng Jingzhou through a psychic message.

"Pretty much."

Li Haoran and Lu Yang had spoken of the Jiuyou Sect’s strongest foundation, which was the bodies of six Jiuyou Sect Sect Masters. These Sect Masters had all reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage in life, each representing a glorious period in the history of the Jiuyou Sect.

In times of life and death, the Sect Masters of the Jiuyou Sect would control these corpses for battle.

Si Heng God Monarch’s view was blocked by the Big Grinding Plate and did not see where the six coffins came from. Lu Yang, as an observer, saw clearly; the six coffins were buried near the altar, occupying the six most favorable directions in terms of Feng Shui.

Mu Baiyi’s fearlessness toward Si Heng God Monarch didn’t mean he was unaware of his opponent’s strength; alone at the Early Tribulation Stage, he certainly wasn’t a match, so it was better to use the Jiuyou Sect’s strongest trump card from the start.

The Jiuyou Sect hadn’t developed Reincarnation Techniques, but they had done much research on Corpse-Driving Spells, enabling these bodies to temporarily maintain a battle consciousness and retain eighty percent of their capabilities from life.

"Great Heaven-tearing Hand!"

"Ruyi Seal!"

"Mad Demon Fist Technique!"

"All poisons are boundless!"

"Netherworld Heaven!"

"Wangchuan Bu Gui!"

The huge hand that tore through the heavens, the Ruyi Seal that suppressed everything with a thought, the Mad Demon Fist Technique that one would not survive without going mad, the poison fog that could kill a swath of creatures with just a trace...

Six cultivators at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage struck simultaneously. In the underground world at that time, they were all figures of notorious reputation. They all attacked Si Heng God Monarch together, each executing their own best techniques. Even those at the peak of Pass Tribulation would fall dead on the spot!

"You mere Transcendence Tribulation Stage dare to attack me. Mortals, today you shall learn what the Dao Fruit Prototype is."

Si Heng God Monarch’s expression was icy as he activated the Yin Yang Dao Fruit Prototype, causing six areas of space to distort, and six figures appeared.

"What!" The appearance of those six figures astonished Mu Baiyi, revealing an incredulous look.

These six figures were identical to the six successive sect leaders of the Jiuyou Sect.

"Go."

Si Heng God Monarch commanded, and the six figures he conjured were not exactly the same as the actual people; they were the exact opposites. Whatever techniques the opposing six Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivators knew, these six figures would execute the exact opposite, thus achieving a stalemate.

Lu Yang discerned the principle behind it: "The Immortal Jiuchong’s Yin-Yang Dao Fruit can define yin and yang, thereby resulting in the neutralization of yin and yang. The Yin Yang Dao Fruit Prototype cannot take this step but can only create puppets. It allows the puppets to possess the completely opposite techniques of the enemy, indirectly achieving the effect of yin and yang neutralization."

"Is this the power of a Dao Fruit Prototype?" Mu Baiyi could not believe the scene before him. Had their Jiuyou Sect’s ace, cultivated over tens of thousands of years, been neutralized by the opponent in one move?

"Mortals, I have told you that you will pay the price for your foolishness."

Chi Sect Leader and Liu Zhen, who had intended to help, showed signs of fear. With such magical and crafty methods, even if they helped, it wouldn’t change the situation.

Si Heng God Monarch descended, his staff sweeping away Mu Baiyi, who was still preparing to strike, aiming to uproot the Reincarnation Dao Fruit Prototype along with its seedling.

Suddenly, Si Heng God Monarch’s hairs stood on end, foreseeing a lethal danger, and he hastily retreated backward.

A streak of sword light grazed the edge of his body, which, a moment slower, would have split him in two.

The sword light vanished, leaving the altar split into two uneven halves.

Si Heng God Monarch was both shocked and enraged. Was this Sword Qi from a Sword Cultivator?

Weren’t Sword Cultivators always known for their upright and grandiose style? Since when did they resort to sneak attacks?!

"Tsk, you really aren’t easy to kill." Lu Yang, holding the Green Peak Sword, moved forward in a relaxed manner, finding that Si Heng God Monarch truly was a cultivator who had fought his way out, with a strong sense of impending crisis.

"Taking things right in front of us from the Heavenly Court Sect, isn’t that a bit improper?"

Mu Baiyi, helped away by others, was thrilled to see Lu Yang take action.

"Young Sect Master Lu!"

"People from the Heavenly Court Sect?" Si Heng God Monarch sneered coldly; he had seen Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou when he was lurking in the Fengdu Space. "The Emperor had already told me that the Heavenly Court Sect didn’t even exist during Ancient Times!"

"What could your Emperor possibly know? He doesn’t even know about the Fire Dynasty."

Meng Jingzhou exerted force in his legs and shot toward Si Heng God Monarch like a cannonball. Si Heng God Monarch blocked with his staff, and his palms split open instantly!

Realizing he couldn’t take the punch head-on, he swung his staff in a full circle, guiding Meng Jingzhou to the other side with the momentum.

Meng Jingzhou was flung away by Si Heng God Monarch and landed next to Lu Yang.

"Old Lu, why waste words with him, let’s capture him first!"

"What’s your hurry? I was just about to draw some information when you interrupted."

"Why bother with him? He doesn’t even know about the Fire Dynasty, a complete illiterate. What could he possibly know?"

"Are you two done yet?" Si Heng God Monarch roared in anger, hating most when others called him illiterate.
