Chapter 871: Chapter 871

The moment the Red-scaled Daoist, with a dragon's body and human face, appeared, Tao Qian immediately felt something was amiss.

The "Records of Strange Compilations" in his arms flew out, stopping on a page, indeed revealing the drawing of the Red-scaled Daoist along with a series of annotated descriptions:

Just the first line's initial four characters made Tao Qian's expression solemn, as he instantly moved over.

"Originating from the Source Sea Secret Realm of Zhong Mountain, a disciple of Zhong Mountain God Zhu Jiuyin, his true form is an ancient alien species, the Red Day Python. Born with the ability of Day Transformation and the rare Divine Skills like spewing True Sun Fire, relying solely on his powerful body, he crossed the Source Sea before even achieving Dao. After achieving Dao, he compiled the 'Zhong Mountain Great Sun Secret Transmission Scripture'."

"Throughout the realms, this Daoist Lord has left behind magic veins like the Great Sun Sect and Red Day Cave."

"This Daoist Lord, including his master Zhong Mountain God, belongs to the Chaos Camp, and cannot be judged by moral virtue."

"If you encounter disciples or clan members of Zhong Mountain God, you may interact due to some karma with the Spirit Treasure Camp."

The True Dragon Clan Leader, Hai Tu, was not surprising at all to summon a Daoist Lord's incarnation upon his deathbed.

What was unexpected was the speed at which he arrived.

Clearly, secret techniques had been used early, hiding within his blood and marrow, only appearing at the moment of life and death.

"The Zhong Mountain Camp has certain karmic ties with our Spirit Treasure, yet now it has added a grudge."

"But it doesn't matter, it's his own fault."

Tao Qian's thought aligned with what the Jintong Master said.

Do not be deceived by Hai Tu's menacing approach seeking vengeance. In reality, who among them, or the Spirit Treasure Ten Thousand Immortals in the Penglai Sea is not perceptive, able to discern right from wrong at a glance?

Before the thought could fully form, Tao Qian appeared between Red-scaled Daoist and Jintong Master.

Ma Yi Immortal, Xuan Yuan True Monarch, Wulinn Immortal, and other strong individuals were all prepared to intervene but the distance between their Daoist Fields on Immortal Islands and Qingping Island left them slower than Tao Qian.

Being there, the one facing Red-scaled Daoist's outstretched palm naturally turned into Tao Qian.

In that instant, celestial phenomena surged in Tao Qian's eyes.

Penglai below transformed into a sea of blood.

The sky overhead, filled with crimson scales.

In a trance, Tao Qian felt his body stiffen. Upon a closer look, he found himself being bitten by an enormous python with a human face and a snake body, an embodiment of wicked divinity capable of wrapping around the entire Penglai Sea.

Skin, flesh, heart soul... all got poisoned, swiftly dissolved, turning into red pus.

In his mind, a record:

[Currently suffering from the Outer Realm Divine Skill "Nine Yin Red Muddy Great Method"...]

[This method originates from the Innate God Demon Zhu Jiuyin, capable of summoning the red pus of a corrupted world upon a single thought. This illusion is filled with filth, capable of corrupting one's flesh, heart soul, divine artifacts or treasures, none exempt including immortals or Daoists of Buddhism.]

[His disciple, "Red-scaled Daoist" is most skilled in this art, having once used this method in a small world of a secret realm within the Source Sea, annihilating all life in that realm... The cost was merely being imprisoned by Zhong Mountain God beneath Zhong Mountain to repent and rigorously cultivate for five hundred years, yet was released under a pretext before the sentence was complete.]

"So it's a Daoist Lord, no wonder he dares to speak with such arrogance."

"Zhong Mountain's clan members having Zhong Mountain God's disciples' protection is quite normal."

"However, my master's Treasure Wheel was personally gifted by the Sect Master, a wonderful treasure meant to persuade people toward goodness, to resolve disasters and eliminate sin."

"The Daoist Lord's thought summoned such a thick filthy illusion, it should undergo purification, yet has no virtue to claim treasures."

Upon saying this, all immortals were shocked.

Inwardly, they all thought: Indeed, the disciple of the Master Brother is impressive. Though not practiced in the Ten Thousand Treasure Secret, his Yin Yang Tongue Technique, as venomous as it is, has been so well cultivated that there's no shortage of successors.

And the disciples at Qingping Island, after their initial surprise, cheered one after another.

An enemy with such a big background, an incarnation of a Daoist Lord, yet a direct disciple of Innate God Demon [Zhu Jiuyin].

Tao Da True Monarch not only lacked reverence, but immediately began to mock contemptuously, showing immense courage.

But very soon everyone understood where his confidence lay. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽

As Tao Qian issued a low shout, immense Immortal Qi erupted, impressively strengthening his heart to break through the opponent's divine skills.

Additionally, he extended a hand to meet the blow.

Tao Qian's body remained unmoved.

Whereas the Red-scaled Daoist was hit by Tao Qian and sent flying ten miles away.

This result naturally does not mean Tao Qian possesses the power to fight beings of "Daoist Lord Level".

It was merely Tao Qian deliberately using his true form to fight the other's incarnation, now at least he was a Fuyu True Monarch known throughout the Outer Realm Abyss.

Practicing all Three Teachings, achieving Perfect Ultimate Happiness, fighting a Daoist Lord's incarnation, though it crosses levels, upon close inspection isn't extremely rare.

However, this exchange undoubtedly tore away all pretenses.

The Red-scaled Daoist instantly returned, standing above Hai Tu, staring directly at Tao Qian.

As if already aware and familiar with Tao Qian, his gaze brimmed with malice, sending shivers, before he began in lengthy discourse:

"What a Spirit Treasure Suppressing Evil True Monarch!"

"What a Boundless Horsetail Whisk Big Handprint!"

"Three years ago, at the Star Aperture outer gate, you gained fame with a fight. Upon meeting your Spirit Treasure Sect's patriarchs, many Daoists in Source Sea would unanimously praise. Congratulating your Spirit Treasure Sect for not taking too many years to produce another Daoist Lord, or even Tribulation Immortal."

"Witnessing it today, indeed, doesn't disappoint."

"Good divine skills, good silver tongue, truly worthy of Duobao Daoist's true inheritance."

"But you, having acquired such a good Dao Foundation, do not cherish it, protecting your faults blindly. The victim seeks justice, yet you use ridiculous virtues to mock me."

"Good and evil, truth and lies... hahahaha, laughable, truly laughable."

"In the Longevity Realm, this warm room prison, you may speak these words to suppress others, but once you go to the Great Abyss Origin Sea, no matter who you speak these to, I fear you'll only be ridiculed."

"Why not first use your Spiritual Response to sense what's at stake? If because of you and your daughter, the alliance between the Spirit Treasure Camp and my Mountain and Sea Gods Camp is broken, can you and your daughter withstand the backlash of the karmic price?"

With that, the Daoist Lord did not wait for Tao Qian's reply.

He then looked towards Ma Yi Immortal, who was casting spells, and with a gender-indistinguishable voice said:

"Ma Yi Daoist, long time no see. I hope all is well with you."

"I am here because my master's vassal prince was brutally killed by a disciple's daughter of your sect."

"Though this child Hai Kun's cultivation is lacking, he was a destined Red Dragon Envoy under my master, yet was killed for no reason. I hope Daoist you will handle this according to our alliance to prevent a rift between our camps."

Lord Red Scale's words were filled with significant secrets.

For example, the Spirit Treasure Camp and the so-called Mountain and Sea Gods are allies, suggesting a more formidable enemy that necessitates such a union... .

Lord Red Scale implied that if Tao Qian and his daughter ruined things, the resulting chain reaction would be horrifying, an unbearable karmic price for the father and daughter.

Tao Qian vaguely understood and immediately frowned.

At the next moment, Aunt Ma Yi, along with Xuan Yuan True Monarch, Wulinn Immortal, and other uncles and aunts appeared.

Ma Yi Immortal stood at the forefront, hearing the heavily threatening words from Lord Red Scale, yet her expression remained unchanged, only a slight chill in her gaze.

She didn't reply, but first transmitted a message to Tao Qian:

"Zhong Mountain God Zhu Jiuyin, an Innate God Demon, belongs to one of the great camps of the Great Abyss known as the 'Mountain and Sea Gods'."

"This camp is extremely powerful, with members like 'Emperor Mother', 'Golden Crow', 'White Emperor', 'Youxiong Clan', all having some alliances with our Spirit Treasure Sect."

"However, nothing special, just a clearer rule of 'no killing'. "

"It's not a problem, you and your daughter haven't violated the agreement."

When the message ended,

Ma Yi Immortal's cold gaze fell on Lord Red Scale, and she replied faintly:

"Destined Red Dragon Envoy, yet not a Red Dragon Envoy, dead is dead."

"Since this Dragon Clan migrated to the Longevity Realm, they should obey this realm's rules."

"Pretending to be benevolent dragons, deceiving the Human Clan, stealing flesh... shouldn't they be killed?"

Even Tao Qian didn't expect Aunt Ma Yi to have such a firm attitude.

After all, this Lord Red Scale in front of her was not only powerful himself but had a significant background. The fact that the Mountain and Sea Gods could ally with the Spirit Treasure Camp naturally meant their strengths were equivalent.

Her reply indeed thoroughly enraged the other party.

Lord Red Scale's originally eerie face instantly turned crimson, pointing at Ma Yi Immortal and saying:

"Ah, Ma Yi, you think just because you are a few years older than me, you can bully me ."

"I care not what 'rules' you speak of, I only know your Spirit Treasure disciples cruelly killed my master's Red Dragon Envoy, even if this case reaches the Spirit Treasure God, you're in the wrong."

As he shouted, a transformation occurred on Lord Red Scale's face.

On his forehead, the top of his skull, and the back of his head, strange eyes began to form.

Row by row, they covered his face.

Initially all open, they began to close slowly.

A terrifying phenomenon appeared, visible across almost the entire Longevity Realm.

What should have been broad daylight suddenly plunged into darkness.

Tao Qian and the Spirit Treasure Ten Thousand Immortals, momentarily dazed, all saw a peculiar scene:

Outside the Longevity Realm, an enormous red-scaled python appeared, large enough to encircle a star.

This monster slowly closed its eyes, blocking out the brilliance of the Sun Star.

Then it opened its mouth, spewing biting cold winds that swept over part of the Longevity Realm.

"Is this the grand power of a Daoist Lord level entity exerting its full strength?"

As Tao Qian's mind rose with this thought, his consciousness was echoed with the words:

"Currently enduring the outer realm divine skill 'Candle Dragon Brightness and Darkness Great Method'... This method is created by the Innate God Demon Zhu Jiuyin, said to dim the eyes when it closes, to illuminate when it sees, needing neither food nor rest, signifying wind and rain, and being the Zhong Mountain God."

"In other realms, this method could extinguish the beings of a realm in mere years, but the Longevity Realm holds its principles. Even if Lord Red Scale recklessly uses Exotic Treasures to inject his Dao Qi from afar, he can only maintain it for less than three breaths."

"Lord Red Scale is aware; his real purpose for casting the 'Brightness and Darkness Great Method' is to leverage its operation to obliterate past divine might and eliminate evidence of the world's markings, so he can complain to the Zhong Mountain God, causing discord between the two camps and bringing forth karmic entanglement."

As Tao Qian read the record, he realized suddenly.

He immediately communicated with Ancestor Spirit Daoist using his mind, employing the "Longevity Barrier" to perform a time reversal, and indeed observed the scene of his beloved daughter slaying the alleged True Dragon Clan Third Prince.

Simultaneously, he watched as those scenes were permanently erased.
