I'm In Heaven, I Just Want To Work Overtime

Chapter 86: Empress Shiji (Thanks to Xu Changshu for the reward)

Mangdang Mountain.

Monro held the Sword of Slaying Gods in his hand, with three thousand Asura warriors behind him, their demonic aura rolling and killing intent soaring as they charged into the sky, forming dark clouds that stirred up a demonic wind, as if a storm was about to arrive.

With his Shura Yaksha body and the Law Treasure bestowed upon him, Monro had already conquered more than a dozen large mountains around Jiuyin Mountain during this period of time.

Below was the vast Yandang Mountain, rich in spiritual energy and filled with immortal herbs, making it a Sacred Land for cultivation.

More importantly, there was a huge deposit of amethyst jade hidden within, which was an excellent material for refining flying swords, deeply concealed within the mountains.

Occupying Yandang Mountain was a Ink Dragon, who had achieved immortality for ten thousand years and possessed the cultivation of the mid-stage Profound Immortal.

It commanded an army of five Myriad Monsters, covering a large area, and was confronting Monro's Asura army.

The Monster King Ink Dragon shouted fiercely with a large knife in hand, "You have consumed the gall of a divine monster and dare to trespass upon my Yandang Mountain. Retreat immediately, or I will flatten your Jiuyin Mountain!"

"Little Flood Dragon, how dare you be so arrogant. If you surrender, there may still be a way for you to survive. Otherwise, there is the worry of annihilation!" Monro said.

The Ink Dragon King became furious and swung his knife, engaging in a fierce battle with Monro in front of the formation.

Although the Ink Dragon King had a small advantage in cultivation level, Monro was a pure-blooded Asura warrior who had cultivated the boundless Divine Ability of the Great Asura since childhood. His magic was exquisite, coupled with the sharpness of the Sword of Slaying Gods, gradually gaining the upper hand.

The battle between the monster soldiers and the Asura warriors was simply a one-sided slaughter.

Most of these monster soldiers were low-level demons at the Soul Formation Stage, and there were only dozens of demon generals who had passed the three calamities. Their weapons were mostly made from collected ores and hastily refined with true fire, with at most a few restrictions embedded in them.

It was not an exaggeration to say that they were a motley crew.

How could they be opponents of the elite Asura warriors?

Seeing his subordinates being defeated, the Ink Dragon King felt anxious. He waved his knife and jumped out of the formation, taking out a black gourd containing thirty-six thousand five hundred blood poison needles, as thin as cow hair and sharper than flying swords, capable of breaking through Mysterious Light defenses.

Once pierced, the blood poison would immediately corrode the physical body and destroy the Primordial Spirit, truly vicious.

Monro was not afraid at all. He took out a three-foot-long feather and swung it fiercely, instantly igniting a fierce black flame that burned all the poison needles in the sky to ashes.

Facing the surging black fire, the Ink Dragon instinctively used his Law Treasure to resist.

But as soon as the Law Treasure came into contact with the flames, it immediately burned and even rebounded, causing harm to itself.

The Ink Dragon was greatly alarmed and quickly said, "I am willing to surrender!"

Immediately, two Asura warriors flew over, pierced the Ink Dragon's collarbone with chains, and sealed the Ink Dragon in a mud palace with divine talismans.

With the surrender of the Ink Dragon, the remaining Myriad Monsters naturally did not persist and dropped their weapons.

Monro released all the demon beasts at the Soul Formation Stage, leaving only the demon beasts at the Return to Void Stage, and reorganized them into a camp.

In this way, the territory of the Myriad Tribulations Sect became even larger.

However, this also attracted the attention of several other giants in Mangdang Mountain.

One of them was Youquan Daoist from the Seven Kills Demon Palace.

Youquan Daoist obtained a palace from an ancient era where the Seven Kills Demon God resided, and from it, he obtained the remnants of the Seven Kills Stele, comprehending many Divine Abilities and gaining great fame in the Southern Zhanbu Continent.

The other one was Jiumo Shi, originally a Venerable under the seat of Gautama Buddha in the Western Teachings. Due to violating the precepts of anger and killing, he was banished to the mortal realm and had to accumulate a million merits to return to the Western Pure Land.

Jiumo Shi was dissatisfied and broke away from the teachings, then joined the Shura Ghost Mother's sect, learning many superior Shura magic techniques, and finally merged Buddhism and Demon, forging his own path.

Now, he was comprehending the path of the Golden Immortal.

The last one was a Monster King named Huangfeng, a descendant of a powerful ancient monster god who could summon the Three Samadhi Divine Winds, extremely formidable.

However, compared to the other two, he was slightly inferior.

The crazy expansion of the Jiuyin Mountain has made the Huangfeng Monster King feel a slight crisis.

So he wrote a letter and asked his subordinate demon to deliver it to the White Bone Cave in the Skeleton Mountain, inviting the Fairy Biyun to come.

Then Huangfeng bathed and changed clothes, wearing a white robe that was as pure as snow, with long black hair flowing down. He looked transcendent, calm, and elegant.

He didn't look like a world-conquering Monster King at all, but rather a charming young nobleman.

Three days later, Fairy Biyun from the White Bone Cave in the Skeleton Mountain arrived as invited.

She had a charming figure, covered in light veils, with slender and tender jade legs. She looked like a captivating fairy.

"We met not long ago, didn't we? Why did you summon me again?" Fairy Biyun said coquettishly.

"Isn't it because I missed you?" Huangfeng eagerly rushed forward and hugged Fairy Biyun, intending to do something improper.

Fairy Biyun giggled, her laughter echoing like silver bells, her breath fragrant, soft, and moist.

The two of them then accomplished something good on this grand hall.

After the passion, Huangfeng spoke, "Recently, a Myriad Tribulations Sect has emerged in the Mangdang Mountain. It has three thousand Asura warriors, who are extremely powerful. They have attacked dozens of mountains, and even the Monster Kings at the Profound Immortal realm are no match for them."

Fairy Biyun frowned and said, "After the Asura clan was attacked by the Heavenly Court, the Five Demon Worlds were shattered. They can only curl up in the Blood Sea. Moreover, King Yama is guarding the Yin Mountain. Ordinary Asuras cannot leave the Blood Sea. Why are there so many Asura warriors in the Mangdang Mountain?"

"Could it be that the leader of this Myriad Tribulations Sect is a stronghold of the Asura clan in the Earth Immortal realm?" Huangfeng said.

"Perhaps that's possible!" Fairy Biyun nodded.

Huangfeng smiled and said, "In that case, please persuade Niangniang Shiji to come and subdue these Asura armies. With Niangniang's identity as a disciple of the Jiejiao sect, even the Five Great Demon Gods of the Blood Sea would have to give face."

"Hmph! You're thinking too highly of yourself. Let me tell you the truth. A calamity greater than the heavens is about to descend. How could Niangniang care about such trivial matters?" Fairy Biyun coldly snorted.

"Good sister, the Myriad Tribulations Sect has many Law Treasures. The quality of that killing sword is even comparable to a Supreme Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure. And that black crow feather seems to be a relic left by a distant ancient beast. They are not to be underestimated! If Niangniang obtains these Spirit Treasures, the chances of surviving the calamity will greatly increase," Huangfeng persuaded.

"You make sense..." Fairy Biyun pondered.

Jiuyin Mountain, Myriad Tribulations Sect.

Daji was practicing the "Poxun Heavenly Demon Scripture".

After experiencing a hundred years in the Zhuxian Small World, she had already overcome three heavenly tribulations.

The original consciousness of the Zhuxian Small World had begun to recover its spiritual energy after devouring the bodies of many Asura Profound Immortals.

In addition to Daji, there were three local natives who had become immortals: Lin Jingyu, Zhang Xiaofan, and Lu Xueqi, the three Sons of Fortune.

After becoming immortals, these three gradually learned the truth of the world.

In the end, they chose to ascend to the "Divine Realm" and came to the main world of the Primordial Chaos, becoming disciples of the Myriad Tribulations Sect.

Xia Yi initially taught them the "Taiqing Violet Palace Immortal Scripture", but who knew that Daji's talent for demonic cultivation was higher.

So he directly taught her the "Poxun Heavenly Demon Scripture" and let her cultivate on her own.

Originally, he planned to put Daji in the Primordial Chaos Small World and let her become a "Demon Saint".

With the cultivation of a Celestial Immortal, she would also have the power to protect herself.

But the Primordial Chaos Small World was still relatively special, with many reflections of Saints inside.

It would be better to wait until the Middle Thousand Worlds were developed and then throw her in to enhance her strength.

Meng Luo returned victorious with the Ink Dragon and tens of thousands of Return to Void stage demon soldiers.

Xia Yi directly threw the Ink Dragon into the Yin Yang Six Desires Reincarnation Formation to brainwash it.

After countless cycles in the Little Six Paths, the Ink Dragon finally submitted.

With this, the Nine Yin Mountain gained another Profound Immortal combat power.

As the senior sister of the Myriad Tribulations Sect, Daji managed the Nine Yin Mountain in an orderly manner. The captive demonic cultivators each had their own tasks: mining, training, refining treasures, and alchemy.

Even Xia Yi couldn't help but praise himself for taking in such a good disciple.

The Purple Gold Jade Mine in the Yandang Mountain was a rare immortal mine. However, the ore within it was as hard as meteorite, making it extremely difficult to extract.

Most of the demonic cultivators under the command of the Ink Dragon were at the Soul Formation stage, so progress had been slow over the years, with only a tenth of the mine being dug out.

Xia Yi specially obtained a batch of mining tools, iron picks, and hammers from the Heavenly Court's Smelting Department. As the Disaster Star Lord and a human teaching immortal, the divine beings of the Smelting Department naturally didn't dare to neglect him. They not only sent thousands of mining tools but also five or six hundred high furnaces, each about a hundred zhang tall.

Xia Yi set up these furnaces in the Yandang Mountain, using the Kunyuan Flame Formation to connect with the earth fire. He also set up the Qianyuan Lihuo Formation to connect with the sun's true fire in the sky.

Pure yang flames descended one after another, entering the furnaces and distorting the space.

The demonic cultivators used the standardized mining tools from the Heavenly Court to mine the ore and send it to the side of the high furnaces.

Then, the demonic cultivators who had crossed one or two heavenly tribulations were responsible for smelting, refining, and sending the purified ore to the treasure vault of the Nine Yin Mountain.

Finally, the Asura warriors who achieved the Immortal Dao would refine the ore into armor and flying swords.

Three months later.

The Yellow Wind Monster King of the Fengmo Mountain unexpectedly raised an army and attacked the Nine Yin Mountain.

After all, he was a descendant of the demon god, with a hundred thousand demonic soldiers under his command.

Most of them were demonic monsters at the Soul Formation stage, surpassing the miscellaneous soldiers of the Ink Dragon King of the Yandang Mountain by a lot.

Yellow Wind held a steel spear, cursing in the sky above the Nine Yin Mountain. Behind him, the demonic soldiers formed a large formation, emitting a sinister aura. The area within thousands of miles turned pitch black, and the momentum was extremely grand.

Meng Luo had already dispatched three thousand Asura warriors and several thousand demonic soldiers to confront them.

Xia Yi had also heard of the reputation of the Yellow Wind Monster King and knew that Meng Luo couldn't handle him, so he personally joined the battle.

"The sect master of the Myriad Tribulations Sect is actually a Celestial Immortal cultivator!"

Although Yellow Wind was somewhat surprised, he didn't pay it much mind.

Xia Yi, on the other hand, shook his head slightly.

The Quantitative Tribulation was about to begin, and all living beings in the Three Realms would be involved.

He had studied the "Hongmeng Disaster Scripture" and could clearly see that the Yellow Wind Monster King had already been blinded by his karmic forces. It amplified his arrogance and paralyzed his mind.

When the calamity arrived, he would still be ignorant and wouldn't have the urge to avoid it.

He would inevitably suffer from the calamity sooner or later.

This was the consequence of not cultivating merit and not accumulating luck.

Seeing that Xia Yi seemed to be mocking him, the Yellow Wind Monster King immediately became furious.

He chanted an incantation and was about to summon the wind!

A gust of gloomy wind suddenly rose, and the sun in the sky was completely covered by dark clouds. The fierce wind roared, mixed with countless gravel, making the scene gloomy and miserable, as if the world was about to be destroyed.

"This wind is truly fierce!"

Xia Yi was secretly shocked, so he summoned the Third Grade Pure World White Lotus, and immediately a brilliant light shone, covering all three thousand Asura warriors and the demon soldiers.

The evil wind grew stronger and stronger, emitting a piercing strange howl, carrying endless gravel, hitting the light barrier like rain hitting banana leaves, reaching an extremely dangerous situation.

Xia Yi was more than capable of protecting himself with the Third Grade Pure World White Lotus, but it was not easy to cover all these Asura demon soldiers.

He took a few steps back, secretly took out the laurel bow, and shot the sun arrow, exerting all his spiritual power, bending the bow and setting the arrow.

Swoosh!

A meteor tore through the space and arrived in an instant.

The Yellow Wind Monster King let out a miserable scream, already dead.

Xia Yi also sighed, indeed, those who follow the natural order will prosper, while those who go against it will struggle.

If it weren't for the Yellow Wind Monster King's fate being entangled and his life force exhausted, it would have been very difficult for Xia Yi to kill such a powerful Late Stage Profound Immortal Monster King.

With the death of the Yellow Wind Monster King, the evil wind that filled the sky also disappeared.

However, Xia Yi did not relax, but instead cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist has been visiting the Jiuyin Mountain for a long time, why not reveal yourself?"

"So it's from the Monster Emperor lineage, quite rare."

A female Taoist appeared, holding a dusting brush, wearing a water cloud robe, and stepping on silk cloud shoes, with a face like peach blossoms.

"I have seen Daoist, may I know your honorable name?" Xia Yi paid his respects.

"I am the Stone Ji Niangniang from the White Bone Cave on the Skeleton Mountain!"

"So you are a disciple of the Jie Sect, a Saint disciple!"

Xia Yi bowed again, and then said, "Now that a great calamity is approaching and a killing intent is emanating from the heavens, it is not wise for Niangniang to be in this mortal world, increasing your own calamity. If you were to be listed on the Conferred Divinity List because of this, it would be very dangerous!"

"So you also know about the calamity of the world and the Conferred Divinity List. Could it be related to the Tenth Prince?" Stone Ji Niangniang asked curiously.

"Yes, I am a disciple of Lu Ya Lao Zu!"

After speaking, a green cloud light appeared above Xia Yi's head, with a faintly floating yellow gourd in it.

"The Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife!"

Stone Ji Niangniang felt fear in her heart.

She had become a Xuanhuang stone in the Primordial Era and had also heard of the power of the Immortal-Slaying Gourd. It was truly a killing weapon, and once confronted, even immortals and gods would find it hard to escape.

She never expected that the Tenth Prince would give such a terrifying Law Treasure to the junior in front of her.

She immediately said, "That Yellow Wind was my disciple. You killed him, which is not a small offense. Even if the Tenth Prince comes, I, as a disciple, am not afraid!"

Stone Ji Niangniang was a disciple of the Heavenly Master of the Tongtian Sect. Although she was not a direct disciple, she was still extraordinary and held a great position in the Three Realms.

Although Lu Ya was the descendant of the Monster Emperor, he was ultimately a prince of the former dynasty and his status was not as useful as her as a Saint disciple.

After speaking, she took a step forward, and a deep and boundless aura emanated from her.

The demon soldiers on the battlefield couldn't bear it and revealed their true forms, wailing everywhere.

Xia Yi was not afraid at all, but instead laughed loudly.

"Why are you laughing? Do you think I dare not kill you?" Stone Ji Niangniang's killing intent surged.

"No, I'm laughing at your extraordinary path to enlightenment, swallowing endless years, and cultivating is not easy. But now, you have become entangled in karma, with calamity looming over you, and your life is not long. You will become the first disciple to die among the Three Teachings, sacrificed to the calamity!"
