Chapter Fifty-Seven: Universal Salvation of Light

  The dragon beast sensed the sharp aura on Ling Siyuan's body, and it let out a low growl. Its four legs grasped the ground, its body arched up, and the reverse spikes on its back stood up straight. Its clumsy body suddenly became agile, and with a burst of strength, it charged forward, bringing with it a fierce gust of wind, pouncing towards Ling Siyuan!

  Ling Siyuan, as a disciple of Shanhe Academy, refined the Qi Xun Shanhe Swordsmanship, displaying it with grandeur like the heavens and earth, boundless like the vast ocean. His own majestic and upright energy was profound and far-reaching. As his long sword opened and closed, the sword aura was vast and mighty, as if pointing to the mountains and rivers, with an air of supremacy that could overwhelm kings and nobles!

  The giant dragon beast's body was enormous, but its shape was extremely agile. Its skin was thick and hard, with a layer of gray mist surrounding it. At times, the mist condensed into various ferocious beasts that clashed with Ling Siyuan's sword energy for an instant. As the atmosphere became more intense, a brilliant light burst out from the dragon beast's mouth, directly striking Ling Siyuan's headscarf. The purple light and gray mist exploded and scattered, sending Ling Siyuan flying into the air. When he fell back down, although he was unharmed, his face was covered in dust and dirt.

  "Good fellow, what great strength!" Ling Siyuan shouted loudly, his body spinning and leaping, his vital energy surging forth. In mid-air, a magnificent aura gathered, faintly revealing the image of a crimson qilin beast hidden within the flames, its shadow extremely pale and indistinct.

  Xiao Tianyu also took action at this moment, and the ground under his feet surged with a huge wave arc, bursting out a layer of spiral earth waves, rolling down to cover the Sword Tooth Dragon Beast!

  The earth was thick and heavy, and Xiao Tianyu's own magical powers were in no way weaker than Ling Siyuan. The two of them attacked simultaneously, the sword-toothed dragon beast let out a loud roar, its body's blood aura becoming even more intense, its body's reverse scales suddenly standing upright and bursting forth, swirling with bloody light, entwining Ling Siyuan's flying sword, as Xiao Tianyu himself burst forth from the earth aura with great force!

  Shenlong Tianxu, with a strong and unparalleled physique, the sword-toothed dragon beast, although not a true dragon clan, inherited the strong physique of the dragon clan. With this force, the entire land shook violently, and Xiao Tianyu's dense and numerous earth thorns were torn open with countless cracks, and there was a tendency to collapse!

  Xiao Tianyu spat out a mouthful, and a orange-yellow flying sword rose with the wind, slashing horizontally and vertically. A sharp golden light flashed back and forth, striking the massive body of the dragon beast, leaving behind white marks that caused the beast to let out a pained howl!

  At this time, except for Xiao Tianyu and Ling Siyuan who were attacking, the others sealed off all directions, standing in their respective positions to prevent the demon from escaping. Mu Yuan took advantage of a convenient location, while Yuanying and Yuanyi, two monks, guarded the beast's retreat route, with colorful lights flashing, apparently using the Light Enlightenment Technique to mobilize their strength.

  With nothing better to do, Mu Yuan watched the methods of the other five. Hua Xing had a cluster of flames dancing on his hand, while Jian Yun was surrounded by a layer of emerald green light, making him look like an ancient fire god. Compared to Hua Xing's flames, he looked even more magnificent!

  "What a pity! If Hua Xing had practiced this true fire, she would have been a real goddess of fire. And if Yun Ru had cultivated Hua Xing's fire skills, it would have been elegant too. But now, it seems somewhat out of place!"

  The three people in Tienshan had a small, delicate flute in their hands, emitting a faint, icy atmosphere, like being surrounded by snowflakes. If you closed your eyes and listened carefully, you would feel as if you were falling into the vast, snowy expanse of Tienshan, with ice-encrusted trees and frozen lakes stretching out before you.

  Seeing that the two were hard to subdue, Yuan Neng and Shang recited a Buddhist mantra in unison. A circle of colorful light shot up from behind their heads, suddenly transforming into a giant hand made of colorful light. The fragrance of sandalwood wafted through the air as the hand directly grasped and pulled them down. Its powerful aura swept aside the blood glow in mid-air, seemingly capable of crushing everything!

  The Sword-toothed Dragon Beast was fighting fiercely with Ling Xiao, but suddenly it was slapped by a huge hand and its massive body flipped over in mid-air, rolling several times before falling to the ground. Its skin split open and fresh blood flowed out! This palm strike had actually injured the Sword-toothed Dragon Beast!

  Everyone was shocked, and didn't expect that Yuan Neng's hand seal would be so powerful. Mu Yuan was also shocked beyond measure. At the beginning, he fought against this monk with Ice Dragon Wrap, but didn't know how powerful this hand seal was. Now looking carefully, Yuan Neng's colorful light palm had his thumb and middle finger slightly curled, and in the center of his palm there was a mark like a rotating wheel.

  "What is this Indian law?"

  Tianshan Jian's Fantian smiled like a flower, "Great Master is so divine, but I don't know what kind of seal this is?"

  Yuanneng and Shangsheng's face had a hint of color, "This is the infinite true empty seal method of our sect. I'm not talented, only roughly understanding one or two things. If practiced to a profound level, moving mountains and seas, plucking stars and moons would be mere child's play!"

  "Everyone, work together and get rid of this demon once and for all!" Huaxin's fingers shot up flames that rose violently, splitting into a dozen or so strands that flowed down like a stream, as he shouted loudly.

  Three people shouted in unison, and three borrowed kites rose into the air, transforming into three snow-white long rainbows that intersected with each other in mid-air. Suddenly, snowflakes began to float within the space formed by the three long rainbows, turning it into a world of frost and ice!

  Frosty air fluttered, contrasting with the brilliant light of Huaxin's fire, yet it was extremely exquisite. On the spot, it trapped the dozens of inverted thorns of the Sword-toothed Dragon Beast in a layer of swirling white mist and frosty smoke.

  Jyun also made a move on the spot, with flames all over his body rolling backwards and forming a fire-red lotus flower. The flames were burning fiercely, and at the bottom, they formed twelve lotus petals that rotated endlessly, trapping the ten reverse thorns!

  Yuán néng yuán jué liǎng dà hé shàng nǎo hòu de cǎi guāng lián chéng yī qì, kōng zhōng de wú liàng zhēn kōng dà shǒu yìn yuè fā péng zhàng, dāng chǎng yě dōu zhù le jǐ shí piàn dào cì

  Everyone joined forces, and the sword-toothed dragon beast suddenly increased its pressure. Mu Yuan also released the Six-Word Brightness Universal Salvation Spell, and the spell wandered freely, shuttling through the dazzling light and mist in the air, sticking to the back of the sword-toothed dragon beast!

  At the touch of this Bright Mantra, a burst of black smoke suddenly erupted from the back of the sword-toothed dragon beast, emitting a pungent smell of burning, and its entire body's blood light surged towards the True Word Mantra, causing the originally pale green-colored talisman to be shrouded in a layer of crimson glow!

  In an instant, Mu Yuan felt the power of the six curses surging like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, rising rapidly. Suddenly, it became clear to him that the "Universal Illumination Mantra" was actually meant to absorb and transform foreign true energy into the power of the curse itself. This was somewhat similar to the legendary "Soul-Capturing Ghost-Subduing Great Method", which absorbed others' primordial spirits to supplement one's own spiritual power. However, the former was merely an external divine ability that didn't benefit one's cultivation. In comparison, the Universal Illumination Mantra had no side effects, whereas the Soul-Capturing Ghost-Subduing Great Method posed a huge risk if not controlled properly, leading to mental derangement, true energy chaos, and potentially even death or explosion of the body.

  "No wonder Yuan is so particular about these six talismans, after all, they are the talismans that can seal the Dragon's Tomb, how can they be ordinary? But I don't know who created this talisman, it's easy to learn, but it's still so mysterious!"

  The Guangming Pu Du Zhou originally was a symbol condensed from the true energy of Mu Yuan's longevity, but now it has absorbed the demonic energy of the Xian Chi Long Shou and is gradually transforming into a red and green striped color, with the emerald green at its core, like a round ball, covered in a layer of crimson mist, looking very strange!

  The Jianti Longshou's body was trembling violently as the light of the Guangming Putuo Mantra was absorbed, and it suddenly let out a loud roar. The blood-colored aura surged wildly, causing the mountains behind to shake violently. Mu Yuan's Guangming Putuo Mantra was scattered, turning into countless flowing lights that fell to the ground. Mu Yuan hastily stretched out his hand to gather them up, sensing the mantra, and they immediately reassembled in his palm!

  The dragon-toothed beast was struck by several others, blood flowing all over the ground, with a few places even being blown open, revealing white bones, extremely terrifying!

  Mu Yuan looked at the Bright Mantra in his hand, feeling exceptionally delighted. He couldn't have imagined that the mantra he had unintentionally obtained would be so mysterious and powerful. He also recalled that when he was in the Dragon Grave Tunnel, several cultivators like himself were pondering over the power of the mantra, but he didn't know what benefits those people had gained.
