NOVPUBAfter Boxun ceased to make sound, He sank into silence, avoiding the war with the Xuanhuang Immortals until now, where he could no longer escape.
Golden Mother Primordial Lord, wielding Kunlun, joined by the Immortals of Yaochi, released Ten Thousand Dao Golden Light like swords, striking the Six Desires Demon Palace, making numerous Demon Heads wail tragically and evaporate into smoke and ashes.
One is the Golden Mother of Kunlun Yaochi, and the other is the Six Desires Colorful Sky Demons.
Two Great Heaven Honoreds, directly facing off, have battled for decades without a clear indication of victory or defeat.
Golden Mother Primordial Lord was helpless about this, for the Desire Realm Demon is notoriously difficult to handle; their combat strength may be slightly weaker, but their life is extremely tenacious. Six Desires undying, Seven Emotions unspent, then the Heavenly Demon does not die.
In the past invasion of the Desire Realm, during their first battle in Xuanhuang, these Three Great Heavenly Demons led by the Desire Heaven first entangled the Nine Saints of Xuanhuang, buying valuable time for Boxun, ultimately defeating the Heavenly Emperor.
Even in the past, it was so, let alone now, relying on one’s own power alone, how could one withstand this Desire Heaven Demon?
Seeing this, Xu Yang didn’t say much more, Xuanyuan rose and cut across the battlefield, heading straight for the Six Desires Demon Palace.
"Taoist, be careful, this demon’s methods are very eerie!"
Seeing Xu Yang riding his sword to aid, Golden Mother Primordial Lord’s eyes sharpened, also intensifying her attack, wishing for a quick resolution.
Although in Xuanhuang’s first battle, even the nine saints united had difficulty withstanding these three Great Heavenly Demons, it was because they were unaware of their core, making targeting difficult. After the Xuanhuang counterattack and second decisive battle, they discerned the critical Xuanhuang Sacred and also achieved significant results against these Desire Realm Heavenly Demons.
If not so, how dare they decide on a battle today against the Three Heavens?
Golden Mother Primordial Lord initiated a fierce attack, Xu Yang coordinated with his sword, Kunlun Immortal Palace and Ten Thousand Dao Heavenly Palace attacking from both sides, seemingly turning the Six Desires Demon Hall into flying ashes.
"Humph humph humph!"
Facing such an offensive, within the Six Desires Demon Palace, Desire Sky let out a series of chilling laughter, eerie and strange, neither yin nor yang, neither male nor female, but with a demon voice that sought to fill one’s ears, piercing directly into Xu Yang’s mind, and even his Primordial Spirit, soul, and consciousness. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Pick the easier target to squeeze!
Compared to Golden Mother Primordial Lord, a seasoned Heavenly Immortal Saints, Xu Yang, relying on the Supreme Fruit as a "substitute", was undoubtedly an easier target.
Thus, Desire Sky shifted focus, even risking exposing a flaw to Golden Mother Primordial Lord to suppress Xu Yang first, breaking the joint attack between the two.
Just hearing Desire Sky’s laugh, a captivating sound that penetrated the ears, body, mind, and consciousness being influenced, subject to the test of the Desire Demon.
Suddenly...
"Qingyang!"
"Young Master!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Daoist Master!"
"Master..."
All kinds of desires rose in an instant, demons previously slain by the sword regenerated, turned into Meng Fanying, Yousu You, Miss Xin Shisi, Su Shaoqing, Yun Mengyao, Mulan, Lv Qiling, Gongshu Ling, Ao Chi, Phoenix Song, Shui Linglong, Shui Lingling... and various forms, entwined him.
However, Xu Yang was prepared and immediately activated Taiqing Taoism, the chapter of Supreme Forgetting Emotion.
Supreme Forgetting Emotion, silent and still, what the speakers care about, achieving and forgetting it in one word!
Heavenly Dao is just, all beings like dogs to be slaughtered.
The saints transcend, with emotions but unswayed.
Supreme Forgetting Emotion, not heartless, but the emotions serve my intent, not disturbed by external things.
Xu Yang commanded Xuanyuan with his heart, aligned with the Supreme, entering the realm of emotional and emotionless, desires wrapped around him, not yet touching the body, triggering the lusts of the heart, turned into beautiful skeletons, vanished in an instant.
Nevertheless, this was just the beginning, after the onslaught of desire and demonic thoughts, more bizarre visions arose, seeming real and false, tangible and intangible, luring one into confusion, difficult to distinguish.
"Old Xu, where’s this month’s pocket money?"
"Old man, you dare to start a fight, thinking you’ve turned into a spirit?"
"Hahaha, with those moves, you dare to call it skills?"
"Descending Dragon Palm? Old man, you dreamt yourself silly, didn’t you?"
Momentarily illusions like dreams, as if time rewound, bringing him back to that slippery, stinking Fish Market, once again that old fisherman, but without the attribute panel, without skill characteristics.
What Zhuang Zhou Dreaming of Butterfly, what Divine Land Ten Thousand Realms, just an old fisherman oppressed, nothing but a dying man’s hallucination.
Nothing happened, nothing existed, no Martial Path Communicates with God, no transcendence into sanctity...
"Bang!!!"
Such thoughts, deeply seeded in the mind, sought to turn false into true, but were fiercely severed by the sword, Xu Yang with cold eyes, unshakable, not indulging in them.
If they are false, why indulge in them?
I am the truth, the absolute truth, who can deny it?
But a mere illusion, a Demon Head, cut down by a single sword.
One layer of illusion disperses, another rebirths, again familiar tricks, intending to twist the path whence I came.
Within such a realm, all reasoning shakes, denying one’s existence, falling into the net of Demon Heads, even knowing it’s false, you can’t escape, only succumbing to self-doubt, self-denial.
Yet Xu Yang remains entirely unmoved, his Dao heart as firm as Ironstone, and with the Wisdom Sword sweeping across, extinguishing all demonic thoughts.
Beside these...
No matter when, no matter where, no matter in which illusion he is, Xu Yang always sees an attribute panel, various skill characteristics springing forth at his call, rendering all demonic disturbances into illusions.
Attribute panel!
Skill characteristics!
His external assistance!
To this day, Xu Yang could affirm that this unexplained attribute panel, in terms of status, stands above Heavenly Immortals, not a treasure of Golden Immortals but perhaps an object from the legends of Great Immortals.
Though the methods of the Desire Demon Lord are bizarre, crafting desires and demonic illusions potent enough to blend false with true, causing even Heavenly Immortal Saints to risk falling, they utterly fail on him as a substitute.
Because no matter how It crafts them, It cannot erase the existence of this attribute panel, the effectiveness of skills characteristics; the status of this "external assistance" is far beyond Its power range.
Thus, everything is false, only I am true.
Xu Yang rises on Xuanyuan, with a thunderous strike, shattering all illusions, all demonic thoughts collapse in real-time, revealing the Demon Head itself, Holy Sword penetrating the void, heavily injuring its body.
"Ah!!!"
In the real world, on the battlefield of Desire Heaven, amidst the pincers of Kunlun Immortal Palace and Ten Thousand Dao Heavenly Palace, the Six Desires Demon Palace trembles violently, and a piercing scream resounds, the Desire Demon Lord severely wounded.
Xu Yang watches coldly, unmoved, Xuanyuan sweeping across again to strike the Demon Palace, Ten Thousand Dao resonate with the world, Dao manifesting within his sword move, attacking his foe with the force of One Realm.
Yet, King of Heaven Demons could not resign to defeat, counterattacking from desperation, assaulting Xu Yang again.
This time, not by creating illusions, but directly attacking with the power of Seven Emotions and Six Desires.
Joy, anger, sorrow, thought, grief, fear, surprise!
Senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch, and consciousness!
Seven Emotions clash, Six Desires explode, in an instant turning the tangible into intangible, aiming to take the opponent’s Tao Fruit.
In this realm, Xu Yang feels no joy, no anger, harbors no worries or thoughts, nor does he show fear or surprise, all emotions completely lost, sinking into Silent Extinction.
And the corporeal Six Desires, sight loses the desire to see, hearing loses the desire to hear, taste loses the desire to taste, smell loses the desire to smell, touch loses the desire to feel, consciousness loses the desire to perceive.
All Six Desires lost, all senses extinguished, no feeling of Seven Emotions, a person transformed into a statue of mud.
This is no longer self-denial created by illusions but a genuine plunge into Silent Extinction and Death, the extinction of emotions and desires, the disappointment of intentions and perceptions.
This is precisely the killing move of Desire Heaven, the way of Seven Emotions and Six Desires, actually the way of life and death of beings, using Dao to extinguish Dao, without Seven Emotions, Six Desires vanish, thus life ends.
The opponent changes its killing move, Xu Yang however repeats his old technique, controlling Xuanyuan with the heart, aligning intent with Supreme, using Supreme Tao Fruit to bear this killing move, sitting meditatively within the realm of complete extinction of passions.
Like this, who knows how long...
"Boom!!!"
A great sound, all things dissolve, the heart of Supreme recovers its pulsation, Seven Emotions and Six Desires all return.
Deprived sight and perception restored, then seeing a Demon Palace collapsing thunderously, leaving only Kunlun Immortal Palace, and the Great Sun looming in the sky.
"We won!"
"Hahaha!"
Golden Mother Primordial Lord laughs loudly, then turns her gaze towards Xu Yang: "Taoist, are you well?"
"Unharmed!"
Xu Yang smiles, without the slightest doubt, not deeming this result to be another illusion crafted by the desire demon, directly meets with Golden Mother Primordial Lord: "What about the Demon Head?"
"Defeated and fled back to the Demon Abyss!"
Golden Mother Primordial Lord shifts her gaze, then with a celestial tone shaking heaven declares: "Desire Demon Lord has been defeated, all of you take a short rest, then assault the Demon Abyss!"
Having said that, looking again at Xu Yang and Deity of the Sun: "Let us go assist other daoists!"
"Hmm!"
Xu Yang and Deity of the Sun nod, then using the Power of the Great Dao to resolve, join Golden Mother Primordial Lord to aid Daoist Shangqing and other Xuanhuang Sacred.
