Chapter 650: Thunder and Fire from Heaven, Trapping Two Shikigami to Death
Boom boom boom!
Eight flames shot up into the sky, as thick as dragons, rushing straight up to a height of a hundred meters. It was as if the Eight-Gate Earth Fire Array had been awakened, bringing out the dormant deep-seated earth lung fire.
It was obvious that the Eight Gates Earth and Fire Array was broken. The two array bases at the Qian and Kun positions were split in half. It was unknown how many years it would take to repair the array.
"How did he do it? Did he repair the Eight Gates Earth Fire Array?" An elder alchemist from the Medicine God Sect muttered with his eyes suddenly widened in shock, as if he had seen a ghost.
"It's not that the Eight-Gate Earth Fire Array has been repaired, but the divine thunder from the sky just now has stirred up the earth fire! This kid is really a talent. He can actually use the thunder from the sky to stir up the earth fire." Chen Jiuyang said, suddenly thinking of this.
After he said this, the stunned elders felt relieved.
There seems to be only this one explanation for the sudden catastrophe!
But everyone was still shocked, because the power of Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire was a great magical power, which required a deep control over both Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire to achieve.
If it were Chen Jiuyang or the many alchemy masters of the Medicine God Sect, none of them would be able to do it.
Boom boom boom!
Eight thick pillars of earth-lung fire rushed out from the eight array points of the Eight-Gate Earth-Fire Array, reaching a height of one hundred meters. After dispersing, they formed a large flame barrier.
All twelve Shikigami were covered in this huge flaming barrier, and none of them escaped.
However, An Bei Tianming slipped away and rushed out just when the barrier was closing, and took away the broken Shikigami compass.
An Bei Tianming looked back and was almost shocked. He said, "How is it possible? Isn't this Eight Gates Earth Fire Formation destroyed? How did you wake it up?"
He and a group of ninja killers had come to Yaoshen Sect for a few days and had learned some of the situation. They knew that Yaoshen Sect's guardian formation, the Eight Gates Earth Fire Formation, had been destroyed in a great battle a few days ago.
This Eight-Gate Earth and Fire Formation is not ordinary. It is known as the God Realm Killing Formation. Even those in the God Realm who are trapped in it will die.
So he was very afraid of this killing formation.
Knowing that the killing formation had been broken, he dared to charge into the Medicine God Sect with confidence.
He had never expected that the Eight Gates Earth Fire Array would start working again at this moment.
The Eight Gates Earth and Fire Array is known as the God-Realm Killing Array, but it can trap the God-Realm. The twelve Shikigami are only half a step into the God-Realm. They are trapped inside and it is very difficult for them to escape!
Moreover, without the Shikigami compass, the twelve Shikigami cannot form the twelve-pointed star formation and cannot work as a whole. They can only fight on their own, and their combat effectiveness is further compromised.
This made An Bei Tianming's heart sink to the bottom in an instant.
"Alas, it was almost like you, old thing, escaped. Otherwise, I would have let you feel the pain of being burned by fire." Chen Yang shook his head slightly and said with some regret.
He and An Bei Tianming had no connection, let alone any deep hatred, but when he thought about the suffering that China had endured a hundred years ago, for which all Japanese people were responsible, he wanted to make trouble for An Bei Tianming.
Of course, all of this was An Bei Tianming's own fault. He wanted to stand up for others without considering his own situation.
Boom boom boom!
The great flame barrier formed by the Eight-Gate Earth Fire Array reached an astonishing height of one hundred meters, and its diameter was also more than one hundred meters. Inside, flames were blazing and the sea of fire was rolling, just like a melting pot of heaven and earth, towering, majestic, and booming, with earth-shaking noises one after another.
None of the twelve shikigami escaped; all were trapped in the great flaming barrier.
oooooooo!
hoo hoo hoo!
……
Being burned by flames must be uncomfortable. The twelve Shikigami roared loudly, as if they were in the Nine Netherworld Purgatory and were in great pain.
After using the heavenly thunder to draw out the earth fire, Chen Yang put away the thunder seal, crossed his hands together as if embracing the void, and began to control the Eight Gates Earth Fire Formation to refine the twelve shikigami.
This Eight-Gate Earth and Fire Formation has flaws after all. If he doesn't control it well, the twelve shikigami may rush out. So he was too lazy to deal with An Bei Tianming for the time being. If he wanted to escape, he could escape. Catching these twelve shikigami was already a big win.
As he said just now, the Dragon Transformation Grass that he wanted to refine was not old enough, and insufficient age meant insufficient efficacy. These twelve Shikigami might be able to make up for the missing medicinal power of the Dragon Transformation Grass.
After all, these twelve Shikigami are all bodies of ghosts and gods. They have been absorbing the faith and power of all living beings over the years. Their whole bodies are treasures and they are themselves great medicines.
Moreover, they can change shapes. If we regard them as great medicines, their medicinal properties contain elements that can change into different shapes.
Adding them as medicine to the transformation pill may help Miss White Fox achieve a perfect transformation.
You know, if the medicinal power of the transformation pill is not enough, the consequences of swallowing it will be very serious. It may lead to transformation failure, inability to transform, or incomplete transformation.
It's better if you can't transform, but if the transformation is incomplete, it will be terrible, for example, a human body with an animal head, or an animal body with a human head, or only the arms and legs are transformed into human arms and legs, and the rest of the body is still an animal, ...
In short, the transformation is incomplete and it looks like a monster.
In Chen Yang's imagination, if Miss White Fox were to be transformed into a human, she would be a charming young lady with a stunning beauty, an angelic face, and a supermodel figure. She would be loved by everyone and flowers would bloom wherever she went.
If his transformation failed and he turned into a monster that was neither human nor ghost, he would never forgive himself even if Miss White Fox did not come after him.
Boom boom boom!
Following Chen Yang's gestures, streams of magic power were injected into the formation. The Eight-Gate Earth Fire Formation rumbled, the flames boiled, and the sea of fire rolled. It was really like a melting pot of heaven and earth. More earth lung fire surged out from thousands of feet deep underground, filling the entire barrier.
Things have changed. Previously, Chen Yang was the one being refined in the great fire barrier, but now it is his turn to refine other creatures.
Unfortunately, these twelve Shikigami do not have Chen Yang’s great ability to evade the Eight Gates Earth and Fire Formation, and it is extremely difficult for them to do so.
Roar!
The Great Tengu Shikigami let out an earth-shattering roar, and holding a 10-foot-long spear in his hand, he used all his strength to stab the huge flaming barrier fiercely.
In an instant, the speed of the spear's thrust even exceeded the speed of sound, and a conical air wave cloud ring was formed at the tip of the spear, which was a sonic boom cloud formed by supersonic speed.
It is no exaggeration to say that the power of this spear is enough to pierce a tank from front to rear.
However, such a shocking spear, when it pierced the boundary membrane of the fire barrier, was actually blocked and failed to even pierce through.
The Great Tengu Shikigami frowned at that moment, as if he couldn't believe it was true.
Boom! Boom!
The Azure Dragon Shikigami used a move called "Dragon Tail Swing". Its tail, which was about as thick as a bucket, lashed fiercely at the flame barrier. A sonic boom cloud appeared at the tip of its tail, which obviously exceeded the speed of sound.
You can imagine how powerful a supersonic tail is.
It was as if the Qinglong Shikigami had an electric motor in his body, and he pulled out dozens of tails in one breath. The tip of each tail brought up a sonic boom cloud, which meant that each tail exceeded the speed of sound.
Dozens of tail lashes were so earth-shaking that even a hill a hundred meters high could be flattened by dozens of meters. However, the great fire barrier was still intact. It only made a few dozen loud noises and shook violently.
The Taiyin Shikigami is also known as the Wind Shikigami. He is good at controlling the wind. His hands disappear and he swings out hundreds of wind blades in an instant. Each wind blade has the power to cut through gold and iron, and it cuts fiercely at the fire barrier.
The White Tiger Shikigami's five-star element is gold, and its large claws are almost like daggers. It leaps forward like a tiger, raises its claws as big as millstones, and grabs the flaming barrier fiercely.
The Xuanwu shikigami is known for its strength, and of course it also has thick skin and tough flesh. It is said that it can shake mountains, and it uses the joint attack technique with the Tengshe shikigami.
The Teng Snake Shikigami rolled up the Xuanwu Shikigami with its tail and swung it hard. The Xuanwu Shikigami immediately turned into a cannonball and crashed into the fire barrier at supersonic speed.
……
The twelve shikigami each displayed their magical powers, launching a variety of attacks, all of which were their best skills, and each attack had the power to shake the world.
Although they fought independently and did not use joint attack techniques, they were twelve Shikigami at half-step to godhood after all. Twelve earth-shaking attacks were enough to suppress a god to the point where he could not raise his head.
Rumble!
For a moment, the sea of fire in the flame barrier was boiling, and the loud explosions were like thunder, as if hundreds of high-explosive bombs exploded at the same time. The rolled shock waves swept back and forth in the barrier, making the barrier look like a small boat in a storm, swaying in the wind and rain, giving people a sense that it would break at any time.
However, the result was not what the twelve Shikigami expected. The great fire barrier formed by the Eight Gates Earth and Fire Array did not break and remained strong, giving them hope but also disappointing them.
After all, this Eight-Gate Earth and Fire Array condenses the power of the earth veins. It is known as the Divine Realm Killing Array, so how could it be called in vain?
Most of the damage caused by the earth-shattering attack was transferred to the ground veins and borne by the underground fire veins.
When the underground fire veins are attacked, they become more violent, emitting more flames and filling the great barrier. This leads to a vicious cycle.
They tried their best but failed to break the fire barrier, and the flames in the barrier became more and more fierce. The twelve Shikigami were panicking.
They are all spirits that have become spirits. They can think like humans and of course they know what it means to break the great fire barrier.
They might be doomed and become the medicine that Chen Yang mentioned.
"Is it really impossible to escape?"
An Bei Tianming, who was outside the barrier, also had a look of despair on his face.
Without these twelve shikigami, he would not have the face to return to Japan and would feel ashamed of his ancestors.
It is precisely because of the twelve Shikigami left by the ancestor Qingming that the Anbei family has been sitting firmly on the throne of the number one Onmyoji family in Japan for more than a thousand years. Without these twelve Shikigami, the Anbei family would not be able to sit firmly on the throne.
Therefore, although An Bei Tianming escaped at this moment, he did not leave immediately. He was worried and thought of ways to rescue the twelve Shikigami.
Rumble!
Bang bang bang!
The resistance of the twelve Shikigami is still going on, each of them is like crazy, and of course they are not willing to sit and wait for death until the last moment.
Then, earth-shaking noises were heard from within the barrier, and the barrier began to shake more and more violently.
However, every attack seemed to be just a little bit short of breaking the barrier, but unable to do so.
Moreover, the more attacks the barrier endures, the more fierce the earth lung fire that gushes out from the ground.
The twelve shikigami had to use their great magical powers and mental strength to fight against the burning of the earth lung flame, form an energy shield outside the body surface, and so on.
Chen Yang was calm and composed, and still had great confidence in the power of the Eight Gates Earth and Fire Array.
At that time, he tried hard to break the fire barrier but failed.
Boom boom boom!
He waved his hands, drawing fire dragons from the earth's lungs, which strangled the twelve Shikigami, hoping to suppress them as quickly as possible.
Among the twelve shikigami, the Three-legged Golden Crow and Suzaku are both fire-attributed shikigami. They are like fish in water in the flame barrier, fighting back and forth with the fire dragon, and for a while the fire dragon has no way to defeat them.
"Xiao Li, come out!"
"Xiaolong, you come out too!"
Following Chen Yang's summons, Suzaku Xiaoli and the Earth Dragon rushed out from his body and plunged into the great flame barrier.
Suzaku Xiaoli pounced towards the Suzaku Shikigami.
The little dragon from the earth vein pounced towards the three-legged golden crow.
Boom boom boom!
More earth lung fire gushed out from underground like the Yellow River flooding, and it was out of control.
In an instant, all twelve shikigami were in the desperate situation of death.
An Bei Tianming watched this scene and his teeth were almost broken, but he could do nothing to help.
hum!
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
Suddenly, a divine light appeared in the broken Shikigami compass in An Bei Tianming's hand, and a tall figure with a tall hat and a wide belt walked out of it. He was wearing a similar Onmyoji robe to An Bei Tianming, and he looked to be of similar age, and even had a similar appearance, but the figure seemed a little unreal.
"Hey, who is that?"
Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded.
It’s strange, how come there’s suddenly an Onmyoji?
Moreover, this extra Onmyoji looks non-human no matter how you look at him. His figure is blurry and looks a bit like a ghost, which is creepy.
"My fellow Taoist from the Eastern Great Country, could you please give me a favor and show some mercy, spare the life of my unworthy descendant, and release my twelve shikigami. My Anbei family will count it as owe you a favor. In the future, my Anbei family will do our best to repay you this favor. In addition, my Anbei family swears to heaven that we will never set foot in the territory of the Eastern Great Country again in our lifetime." The old Yin-Yang master spoke in a loud and resounding voice.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Because this old Onmyoji said that the twelve shikigami are his.
At this time, as soon as the old Onmyoji appeared, the twelve Shikigami trapped in the fire barrier all became agitated, staring at him with earth-shaking roars, inexplicably excited.
"Grandmaster Qingming, it's my fault that I put the twelve shikigami in danger. I feel so ashamed of you, Grandmaster!"
An Bei Tianming knelt down in front of the old Yin-Yang master with a thud. His eyes turned red and he blamed himself so much that he wanted to commit suicide by cutting his stomach open.
