Chapter 9, Facing the Big Dipper, Slaying the Demonic Beast [New book, please read!]
Su Ye raised his hand and grabbed at the air.
Retrieving objects remotely.
The Vajra Pestle in Liu Yunzhi's hand suddenly slipped out of his grasp, arcing through the air before landing in Su Ye's palm.
The moment the Buddhist artifact left his hand, the color drained from Liu Yunzhi's face, and he lunged forward.
"Give it back to me!!"
Su Ye struck out with a backhand palm.
The pale gold palm print was firmly imprinted on Liu Yunzhi's chest, and the muffled sound of his ribs collapsing was particularly clear inside the sealed coffin.
Liu Yunzhi was sent flying backward, crashing into the bronze coffin wall before sliding to the ground. A dark red liquid spilled from his mouth, and his pupils slowly dilated.
He has stopped breathing!
Li Changqing came to his senses, collapsed to the ground, and thudded his forehead against the stone slab at the bottom of the coffin.
"Master, spare me! Spare me! I was wrong! I'll never..."
Su Ye flicked his finger.
A thin golden light entered Li Changqing's brow.
The kowtowing stopped abruptly. Li Changqing, still kneeling, collapsed to the ground, his pupils dilated, and he fell silent.
From the moment they opened their eyes to their deaths, it was only a matter of three breaths.
There was complete silence inside the coffin.
The golden light of the Buddhist artifacts flickered in the silence, illuminating the frozen fear on everyone's faces.
Ye Fan took a deep breath and thought to himself, "The methods are ruthless, but... reasonable."
"In such a desperate situation, if we do not establish authority and deter others, greed will grow like weeds and eventually drag everyone down."
"Liu Yunzhi and Li Changqing brought this upon themselves, so they have no one to blame but themselves."
Pang Bo gripped his staff tightly and said to Ye Fan in a low voice, "Well done."
"These two troublemakers are just a nuisance to keep around."
Lin Jia's face turned pale, and she bit her lower lip without saying a word.
Zhou Yi silently gripped the bronze mirror tightly. The Buddha's image reflected in the mirror still had its eyes closed; he dared not look at Su Ye.
Su Ye glanced at everyone and said calmly, "Anyone who tries to coerce or incite infighting will be like these two."
He walked back to his original spot and sat cross-legged again, as if he had just swatted two flies.
He looked inward into the sea of suffering and was slightly taken aback.
Two invisible torrents of fortune were being stripped from the corpses of Liu Yunzhi and Li Changqing and flowing into the World Tree Sapling.
The quantity wasn't huge, but it wasn't much less auspicious than the Buddhist artifacts from the Great Thunder Temple.
These two characters survived to the middle of the story, and the "luck" they carried was much heavier than that of ordinary extras.
The bud of the World Tree sapling twitched slightly, and the first leaf, which had unfolded to one-third, now unfolded to half.
Su Ye put the Vajra Pestle into the Sea of Bitterness.
Liu Yunzhi's Buddhist artifacts now belong to him.
In the deepest shadow of the coffin, the divine consciousness of the Great Accomplished Holy Body slowly twitched.
He witnessed the whole thing.
The seated Taoist instantly crushed the two humans wielding Buddhist artifacts. The aftershocks of the collision between the golden light and the artifacts caused him to instinctively shrink into the shadows.
Although the deity lacked complete intelligence, its remaining instincts told it that it should not provoke this person!
Su Ye did not look at Him.
But he knew He was watching.
The nine dragons pulling the coffin continued their journey through the starry sky.
The coordinates of the ancient forbidden land were gradually locked in by the remaining array of the five-colored altar.
Inside the coffin, the twenty-odd people huddled in their respective positions, none daring to meet Su Ye's gaze.
Ye Fan sat cross-legged against the wall, the Bodhi seed spinning in his palm.
He glanced again at the two corpses on the ground, then at Su Ye who had closed his eyes again. He felt no pity for Liu Yunzhi and the other man; only a thought became clearer and clearer.
In the cultivation world, strength reigns supreme, the weak are preyed upon by the strong, and the strong are respected.
The nine dragons pulling the coffin landed with a thud, and the five-colored light shield shattered into countless points of light.
After a long silence, the coffin door slowly opened, letting in the damp scent of earth and the pungent, almost choking aroma of vegetation.
Unlike the dry, lifeless atmosphere of Mars, every breath in the air here is brimming with the essence of life.
The group stumbled out of the bronze coffin and found themselves standing on a mountaintop platform a hundred feet high.
In the distance, green mountains stretch endlessly, clouds surge and roll, waterfalls cascade down cliffs, and flocks of unidentified birds flit across the treetops.
Compared to the gloomy desolation of Mars, this place is simply a paradise on earth.
Some people knelt down with a thud and wept with joy.
Lin Jia vigorously patted the dust off her skirt, her eyes reddening.
Pang Bo slammed his staff on the ground, looked up at the sky, and laughed heartily—the most carefree laugh he had let since leaving Earth.
The bronze coffin behind them hummed with metallic vibrations, and most of the nine enormous dragon corpses had their bodies hanging off the cliff.
Then, the nine enormous dragon corpses and the bronze coffin slid down the mountaintop with a rumbling sound, eventually accelerating as they plummeted down the sheer cliff face.
The nine enormous dragon corpses and the bronze coffin fell off the cliff without making a sound for a long time, leaving everyone looking at each other in astonishment.
Su Ye felt the concentration of spiritual energy and was in a great mood.
Compared to the cultivation environment of Earth in the Dharma-ending Age, this place is simply a paradise for cultivators.
Immediately, Su Ye spread his divine sense across the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, his brows furrowing slightly as he cut off everyone's excitement: "Don't be so happy yet."
There's something in this area.
Ye Fan straightened up and took half a step closer to Su Ye.
Less than ten breaths after he finished speaking, a low roar erupted from the depths of the dense forest at the foot of the mountain.
The leaves rippled like waves, and a dark figure tore through the bushes and leaped up the mountainside. With a few leaps, he was already close to the summit.
It is a leopard-shaped monster.
It was nearly ten feet tall at the shoulders, covered in jet-black scales, with bony spikes protruding from its spine.
At the peak of the Life Spring Realm, he is only a hair's breadth away from the Divine Bridge.
As his yellow-green vertical pupils swept across the crowd, a trail of drool dripped from the corner of his mouth.
The crowd, which had just been ecstatic, froze instantly.
Zhang Ziling's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.
Pang Bo raised his staff horizontally to block Ye Fan's path, the nine rings on the staff clanging loudly.
His courage is commendable, but he hasn't even opened up the sea of suffering yet. This blow is no different from hitting a tank with a stick.
As everyone retreated in fear, Su Ye stepped forward to meet them.
The monster pounced into the air, its two front claws unleashing three-foot-long, dark green blades that cleaved down with a stench.
Instead of retreating, Su Ye advanced, his divine power surging through his meridians, and a pale golden light emanated from his body, condensing in his right fist.
One punch.
The fist, imbued with a condensed, almost tangible, pale golden divine power, struck the beast's jaw scales.
The impact was dull and drum-like; the scales shattered instantly, and dark green blood splattered into a fan-shaped pool of bloody rain.
The enormous beast flew backwards for three zhang (approximately 10 meters), crashing into two ancient trees. After falling to the ground, its limbs twitched twice and then remained still.
From leaping to death, it's all in one breath.
The mountaintop was completely silent.
Pang Bo's staff was still hanging in mid-air, and he forgot to put it down.
Lin Jia covered her mouth, and a half-scream escaped through her fingers.
The others stared at the remaining blood of the demon beast still dripping from Su Ye's fist, then stole glances at the corpse on the ground that was even bigger than an ox.
They finally saw the terrifying power of Su Ye; it was a power that no ordinary person could even begin to grasp!
Su Ye wiped the blood off his fist. Although the remaining luck of the leopard-shaped demon beast in the Life Spring Realm was better than nothing, it was still stripped and absorbed by the World Tree Sapling.
Even the smallest mosquito leg is still meat.
Su Ye withdrew his hand: "This demonic beast already possesses cultivation, and its flesh and blood have a miraculous nourishing effect on mortals."
"You may share it."
As everyone recovered from their shock, their fear gradually subsided.
Next, they set up camp on the spot.
Pang Bo was the first to roll up his sleeves and go to help. He put his staff on the ground and worked with Ye Fan to drag the monster's corpse to a flat area.
Zhou Yi organized the personnel and assigned tasks.
Wang Ziwen and Zhang Ziling went to find a water source, while Lin Jia and Li Xiaoman led a few girls to collect firewood.
The group traveled from Earth to Mars, and finally to the desolate forbidden land. So much time had passed that they were exhausted and sleepy.
Fear is fear, but hunger is a more real reality.
With more than twenty people getting to work, the mountaintop quickly became lively with activity.
