Chapter 1823: Support

Wang Changsheng formed a hand seal, and the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron swiftly shrunk, flying back into his sleeve and vanishing from sight.

Liu Ruyi, who had witnessed the entire sequence, was both shocked and filled with apprehension. She could clearly discern that Wang Changsheng's ability to kill Chen Datong stemmed primarily from the powerful black liquid sprayed from the small azure cauldron. Was this the Underworld Moon Water Wang Changsheng had spoken of? It was indeed a devastating weapon.

"Fairy Liu, let us go support our fellow cultivators," Wang Changsheng said. He and Wang Ruyan then transformed into a streak of blue light and vanished into the sky, with Liu Ruyi swiftly following.

A hundred-zhang-long red flood dragon was locked in combat with a monstrous creature. The monster had a human upper body and a spider-like lower body, complete with eight scythe-like claws and covered in blue fur, giving it an extremely bizarre appearance. Its chest bore several horrifying blood holes.

The red flood dragon's body was riddled with bloodstains, having lost dozens of scales, with white bone faintly visible in some areas. It spewed out torrents of fierce flames, engulfing the monster. As intense heat waves rolled through the air, the monster struggled violently, letting out a series of mournful screams.

The red flood dragon hovered erratically high above, then plunged down, heading straight for the monster.

An incredibly strange roar erupted, and the flames abruptly dispersed. A golden sound wave then swept forth, surging towards the red flood dragon.

At that moment, a deafening dragon roar reverberated, and a blue sound wave shot forward, meeting the golden one head-on.

The blue and golden sound waves collided, annihilating each other and unleashing a powerful shockwave.

Dozens of mountain peaks within a hundred-mile radius were shattered by the powerful shockwave, turning into a cloud of dust. Earth and rocks fractured, and towering trees were ripped from their roots.

The monster frowned as another earth-shattering dragon roar echoed. A blue sound wave swept out again, heading directly for the monster.

The monster blocked with its scythe-like claws, colliding with the blue sound wave and immediately being sent flying backward.

Before it even landed, another dragon roar sounded, and an even more powerful blue sound wave swept towards it.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan stood on the Azure Lotus Dharma Seat. The Nine Flood Dragon Drum was positioned before Wang Changsheng, whose fists continuously struck its surface. A series of dragon roars erupted, unleashing waves of blue sound waves that surged towards their opponent.

Liu Ruyi maneuvered four misty flying swords that danced erratically high above, their piercing cries echoing. A sudden white cloud materialized high in the sky, covering an hundred-mile area.

The white cloud mass churned violently, and then heavy rain began to fall. Each raindrop blurred, transforming into a streak of blue sword qi that shot directly towards the monster.

With three new adversaries suddenly appearing, the monster's pressure intensified significantly.

It opened its mouth and spat out a golden light, which transformed into an impenetrable golden spiderweb that unfurled above its head. The dense blue sword qi continuously struck the golden web, producing dull "ding-ding" sounds and showering sparks.

As blue sound waves swept towards it one after another, the monster, not daring to be careless, spewed out a golden sound wave to meet them.

With a thunderous roar, the golden and blue sound waves collided and obliterated each other.

The dragon roars were incessant, and blue sound waves swept in, seemingly endless and regenerating.

Initially, the monster managed to resist, but each successive blue sound wave grew stronger. After the eighth dragon roar, an even larger blue sound wave swept forth, causing the surrounding space to vibrate and twist as if on the verge of collapse.

A hint of apprehension appeared in the monster's eyes, and it once again spewed forth a golden sound wave to meet the incoming attack.

This time, however, the golden sound wave shattered like thin paper upon impact, and the blue sound wave swiftly swept through the monster's body.

The monster's face instantly turned a dark purplish-red, and it spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood. It felt as though its internal organs were tearing apart, the pain unbearable.

An astonishing heat wave emanated from high above as a colossal red fireball descended from the sky, striking the monster precisely.

With a thunderous boom, the red fireball exploded, turning an area of several tens of miles into a sea of crimson flames, emanating astonishing heat.

After a while, the flames dispersed, revealing Long Hanji. Her body was covered in bloodstains, and her face was pale. The demon's physical body was exceptionally strong, almost on par with hers. Had it not been for the timely assistance of Wang Changsheng and the other two, she would have paid a heavy price to defeat her opponent.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Wang, and Fairy Liu," Long Hanji said gratefully.

"It was merely a small effort. Let's hurry and assist the others! We should eliminate the demons as soon as possible," Wang Changsheng urged. He performed a hand seal, and the Azure Lotus Dharma Seat transformed into a streak of green light, shooting off into the sky, with Liu Ruyi following close behind.

Situ Mei was currently engaged in a magical battle with Gongsun Yang, who was controlling thirty-six gleaming banners, each embroidered with a different monstrous beast, to attack her.

A hundred-zhang-long flood dragon, with one white and one red head, soared erratically high above. This was a fifth-order Ice-Fire Flood Dragon, formed from a demonic beast's spirit rather than its true body, and more than sufficient to handle Situ Mei.

Situ Mei had transformed into a demon through the infusion of true demonic energy, granting her strong recovery abilities. However, compared to native demons, she was still far inferior.

Unwilling to prolong the fight, she conjured a palm-sized black jade bottle, cast a spell into it, and from it flew countless black grains of sand. These spun in the sky and transformed into a three-hundred-zhang-tall yellow giant with thick limbs and a wooden expression, clearly an inanimate construct.

The demonic art she had switched to was the "Qiantu Demonic Art," which allowed her to summon Qiantu Demonic Soldiers. This secret technique required earth-attribute demonic treasures to unleash its full power. However, as the demons had fallen from the Demon Realm and received no external support, there were no spare demonic treasures available for Situ Mei.

Situ Mei had collected several earth-attribute spirit treasures and used them after corrupting them with demonic energy. Naturally, their power couldn't compare to Qiantu Demonic Soldiers summoned with true demonic treasures, but given the circumstances, she had to make do.

As soon as the Qiantu Demonic Soldier appeared, it immediately swung its fists to attack the Ice-Fire Flood Dragon.

The Ice-Fire Flood Dragon spewed a large sheet of crimson flames, striking the Qiantu Demonic Soldier's body, which was then engulfed by the rolling inferno.

Soon, however, a dazzling dark light shone within the flames, and billowing demonic energy emerged. The crimson flames abruptly dispersed, revealing the Qiantu Demonic Soldier completely unharmed. It then swung its fists, striking the Ice-Fire Flood Dragon twice with dull thuds.

The Ice-Fire Flood Dragon's massive dragon claws gripped the Qiantu Demonic Soldier's head and forcefully crushed it, then its thick, long tail swept powerfully.

With a loud bang, the Qiantu Demonic Soldier's body exploded, dissolving into countless black grains of sand.

Situ Mei frowned deeply. She hadn't been cultivating her new art for long, and with the demonic energy in the Thousand Gourd Realm not being particularly abundant, her cultivation speed was slow. She was not a match for Gongsun Yang, yet he also couldn't defeat her quickly.

Just then, a blinding golden light suddenly erupted from Gongsun Yang's body, and a shimmering golden light curtain materialized from thin air. A faint black shadow abruptly appeared behind him—it was the demonized Zhao Shengkai.

After disengaging from his own battle, he had intended to go assist Zhao Qianfeng, but upon encountering Situ Mei and Gongsun Yang, he decided to lend Situ Mei a hand.
