Chapter 1430: Devil Subduing Formation Breaks

Xiang Shaoyun’s devil cultivation had been defeated, but he had also emerged victorious. The Devil Subduing Vajra had defeated him, but his heart had won. Using the righteous aura, he tempered his willpower over and over, establishing a strong faith in his mind that he wasn’t a devil. He could now freely control the devilish energy and the profundity of the devil dao without losing control over his emotions.

However, his competitive heart did not wish to accept his defeat. Thus, he decided to use all his strength against the Devil Subduing Vajra. With the primal inception energy around him, a multicolored radiance swirled around his body. His figure seemed to become much sturdier as he threw his fist out, a fist that shone brilliantly like a star.

Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist!

The terrifying fist combined with the strength of the god body, forming the strongest punch Xiang Shaoyun could release at his current level. The entire formation started shaking from the sheer strength of the fist.

The 36 monks could feel a sense of crisis. They chanted faster and faster as they squeezed out every single bit of power they could from their foreheads, supplying the Devil Subduing Vajra with a boundless amount of righteous aura. The Devil Subduing Vajra became more and more corporeal. It formed a seal and sent an even more terrifying palm attack out.

Devil Subduing Vajra Palm!

This palm attack was even stronger than the previous palm attacks. It drained all the righteous aura in the surroundings, focusing all the aura into the palm.

The palm and the multicolored fist collided, creating a massive rumble. Numerous shockwaves spread in all directions like a natural disaster, nearly destroying the pagoda forest. The 36 monks were all blasted far away.

Facing a multicolored punch akin to a river of stars, the Devil Subduing Formation was broken. Slowly, the Devil Subduing Vajra faded away. The righteous aura returned to the sky above the temple, and Xiang Shaoyun crashed into a pillar. Blood was dripping out of his mouth while a terrifying palm print was visible on his chest. Many of his bones were broken. It was obvious he had sustained quite a heavy injury.

Profundity of life!

He immediately stirred his astral energy and started healing himself with the profundity of life. A vigorous life force converged on his chest, rapidly closing up his wound. In the blink of an eye, the palm print vanished, and his broken bones were rejoined. His injury had been completely healed.

Primal inception energy contains nine different powers and is the most original of powers, capable of further enhancing the profundity of life. No Saint can compare with me in terms of healing speed, thought Xiang Shaoyun in a satisfied manner.

He might not be able to regrow his entire body from a drop of blood, but so long as his saint soul and heart remained, he could rapidly restore himself to his peak condition. As for injuries such as severed limbs, those were nothing for him. No other Saints could heal severed limbs as well as him—all thanks to his primal inception energy.

Looking at the collapsed monks all around him and sensing that they were all dying, Xiang Shaoyun flicked his fingers and sent 36 strands of pure healing energy toward them.

The 36 monks were only early-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivators. They were completely helpless against the destructive damage caused by the shockwaves. After all, they had used up the power of their sarira to strengthen the vajra. Just being alive was enough proof of how tough they were.

With Xiang Shaoyun’s profundity of life, the 36 monks regained some vitality. However, they would have to rely on themselves to fully heal up. After all, they had all exhausted the essence of their power and needed time to regain it.

“Amitabha. Benefactor Xiang is kindhearted and immune to the devil heart. This is a great fortune for humanity,” a loud and clear voice rang out. The abbot then appeared in the pagoda forest.

A group of monks were behind him. As they looked at the 36 monks lying on the ground, their eyes were filled with shock. Not daring to say anything, they hurriedly lifted the 36 monks and took them away. Soon, only Xiang Shaoyun and the abbot were left in the pagoda forest.

Xiang Shaoyun bowed to the abbot and said, “Thank you, abbot, for helping to temper Shaoyun’s willpower with the Devil Subduing Formation.”

With the Light of Wisdom, Xiang Shaoyun possessed extraordinary intelligence. He already knew that the previous battle was something the abbot had intentionally arranged to temper his willpower and free him from evil influences.

The abbot raised his eyes and said, “Benefactor Xiang has excellent wits. There is no need for this old monk to say more. I only hope that you won’t blame me.”

The Devil Subduing Formation was extremely terrifying. No ordinary person could resist it. Thus, the abbot couldn’t help but admire Xiang Shaoyun for defeating the formation. The Saint ranked first on the Saintly Forest Ranking was indeed not someone to be underestimated.

“Abbot, if there’s nothing else, Shaoyun would like to take his leave,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

He still had other businesses to attend to.

“There is no rush, Benefactor Xiang. This old monk has something to tell you. At the frontier of the Dusk Dynasty, an entrance leading to the Devil Domain has opened. The devils are starting an invasion,” said the abbot.

“What? An entrance opened at the Dusk Dynasty’s frontier?” Xiang Shaoyun was alarmed.

He knew that the Devil Domain had been isolated from the dominion. It was extremely hard to create a new connecting point between the two. Otherwise, there would be way more than four publicly known entrances after so many years.

The appearance of a new entrance signified that the devils had found a new path to the dominion. It was no wonder that the abbot had decided to test him with the Devil Subduing Formation. Evidently, the abbot also doubted Xiang Shaoyun’s identity and suspected that Xiang Shaoyun was related to the new entrance’s appearance.

“That’s right. The Sacred Martial General has been deployed to suppress the entrance. But since the devil army has arrived, there will be more than Devil Saints. I’m afraid even Devil Gods will appear. This is a calamity for the dominion. If Benefactor Xiang is really not a devil, you should help subdue the devils.”

Xiang Shaoyun sank into thought before saying, “You’re right, abbot. However, I have my own matters to tend to. Moreover, I still don’t have enough strength. I’m afraid I’m too weak to be of any significant help. The devils are enemies of all humans. I believe a lot of humans will come to help.”

The dominion was filled with countless humans and experts. There were more than enough people to deal with the devil invasion. Xiang Shaoyun did not fear death, but he had just left the Bloodsin City for three years. He couldn’t afford to dedicate more of his time to facing the devils.

“You’re right, but if everyone thinks the same, the dominion will fall into chaos. Also, you have just cleared your name. If you can participate in this war and prove to the world which side you stand on, you will be able to repay that lord’s favor toward you,” persuaded the abbot.

“I’m not a devil. Therefore, I do not need to prove myself to the world. Goodbye,” said Xiang Shaoyun firmly before taking his leave.
