The two Bodhisattvas, Manjusri and Samantabhadra, were very wary of the silver wind blade spat out by Beiming Kun and hurriedly dodged back. Shen Luo, however, was unconcerned. If Beiming Kun was free and his mana intact, he might have been wary, but now that Beiming Kun’s body was confined by the Yin-Yang Array and his demon power greatly reduced by the previous fierce battle, he was no longer a cause for concern. He pinched a sword technique with his left hand, pointed at the thirty-two Pure Yang Swords, and the swords dispersed with a "whoosh," all merging into the void and disappearing. At the same time, he made a gesture with his right hand, and the Map of Mountains and Rivers wrapped around his body, turning into a white light shooting forward, easily passing through the countless silver wind blades and instantly flying above Beiming Kun’s head. Beiming Kun was surprised and opened his blood basin mouth again, emitting a monstrous suction. The space within tens of feet nearby collapsed into its mouth, more powerful than when it dealt with Shen Luo and others outside the Secret Realm of the Well of Demons and Gods earlier. Shen Luo was involuntarily drawn toward the giant mouth again. But now his strength was far superior to before. With both hands forming seals, his body emitted black and golden light again, his body swelled rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into the Xuan Yang Demon Transformation. With a stomp, he stabilized himself and pushed forward with both hands. A tremendous mana surged into the Map of Mountains and Rivers, causing the scroll to burst with light, expanding more than a hundredfold, covering Beiming Kun’s mouth, forcibly resisting the terrifying devouring force. Beiming Kun’s Kun Suction power, always invincible, was cracked by Shen Luo’s method. As he was about to react, his whole body suddenly trembled violently, and a sharp pain came from his lower belly, causing him to scream in agony involuntarily. He looked over and saw a charred big hole in his lower belly, where Sun Wukong had dodged the Kun tail strike and severely wounded him with the Five Fire God Flame Seal. Seeing this, Shen Luo made a gesture with his right hand. A flash of red light passed through the void near Beiming Kun, where the previously disappeared thirty-two Pure Yang Swords appeared, instantly merging into a huge red giant sword over ten feet large, slashing toward Beiming Kun’s neck. Meanwhile, Shen Luo’s left hand went behind him, pointing into the void. A white and a green shadow shot out silently and disappeared into the void, vanishing. Beiming Kun’s body flashed with silver light, his huge body instantly shrinking several times, and his neck dodged sideways, barely avoiding the giant sword’s blow. But on the other side, a ripple in the void occurred, and the Soul-capturing Banner appeared, a roll of capturing white light hitting his body. Beiming Kun’s divine soul hadn’t broken through to the Heavenly Venerate Realm, causing his divine soul to faint. Before he could recover, a green blade light shot out like electricity, wrapping around his neck. Beiming Kun’s expression froze, and the next moment, his massive head flew off, blood gushing out like a waterfall. However, the Kun’s head did not fall, but rather lit up with silver light, flying away into the distance. Shen Luo would not let it escape. With a move of his right hand, a long knife of green with red appeared beside him, the Hongming Saber, the very treasure that had unexpectedly severed Beiming Kun’s head. This knife had just devoured a considerable amount of Beiming Kun’s essence blood, emitting bursts of bloodthirsty roars, eager to shoot out again to utterly slay Beiming Kun. Suddenly remembering something, Shen Luo withheld the Hongming Saber and activated the Map of Mountains and Rivers below. This map expanded in the wind more than a hundred times and immediately caught up with the Kun’s head, wrapping it up. The Kun’s head’s silver light flashed crazily, trying to break free, but with only a head left, it stood no chance against the Map of Mountains and Rivers, a treasure of the Heavenly Dao. A vast silver light shot from within the scroll, enveloping the Kun’s head, pulling it into the scroll and suppressing it. This series of processes seemed complicated but actually happened in the blink of an eye. Manjusri and Samantabhadra had just dodged Beiming Kun’s attack and were stabilizing themselves to advance when Beiming Kun was already slain. The two exchanged a glance, showing a hint of helplessness on their faces, while Sun Wukong and Little White Dragon also paused their hands. A shrill scream came from afar and then fell silent, as Bai Linglong, Nie Caizhu, and others joined forces to slay Bai Chuan. Bai Linglong took the Ten Thousand Poison Gourd, while Nie Caizhu collected Bai Chuan’s corpse and his storage magical tool. Seeing this scene, Shen Luo felt a great relief. With Beiming Kun captured and Bai Chuan executed, only the Ape Ancestor, Mi Su, and Tu Shantong remained here. Although their strength was not ordinary, their side had more experts, and the three were no longer capable of causing much trouble. The Ape Ancestor and Mi Su exchanged glances, seeing a hint of tension in each other’s eyes. "We’ve already been marked as part of the Demon Clan side when we made a move, and these people will attack us soon. Hasn’t the Rooster Lord arrived yet?" the Ape Ancestor communicated with Mi Su. They had changed their attitude to help Beiming Kun seize the Divine Demon Pillar because Mi Su received news that two more Honorable Ones from the Demon Clan had arrived in Little Western Paradise, one of them being the Rooster Lord. The Rooster Lord was extremely famous in the Demon Clan, almost second only to Chiyou, with cultivation already reaching the Heavenly Venerate Realm, far beyond those at the half-step Heavenly Venerate. As long as the Rooster Lord arrived, neither the Lord of Black and White nor Shen Luo would be opponents. "Don’t worry, the Rooster Lord just sent a message that he will arrive soon." Mi Su transmitted. Hearing this, the Ape Ancestor breathed a sigh of relief. "Very well, Shen Luo, you truly have not disappointed me." The Lord of Black and White laughed aloud. With Beiming Kun executed, the prohibitive power of the Divine Demon Pillar transferred entirely to the Blood-colored Mask. The power of the white chain array greatly increased, suppressing the mask further. "Elder, you flatter me. It was all thanks to everyone’s help that I could slay this fierce one." Shen Luo recalled the red giant sword and said. "Good, humble in victory and steady-minded, rare talents among the younger generation," the Lord of Black and White commented. Hearing this, Manjusri and Samantabhadra knew that the Lord of Black and White intended for Shen Luo to take charge of the entrance to the Well of Demons and Gods here. Having slain Beiming Kun, and previously defeating Mr. Purple, Ancestral Dragon, and with Nie Caizhu gaining Bai Chuan’s head, there was no disputing his right to inherit the Well of Demons and Gods here. "Amitabha, well done, well done," Manjusri Bodhisattva recited a Buddha name and retreated. Beiming Kun’s head was severed, and the breath on its immense body quickly faded, causing the tornado columns around the Divine Demon Pillar to disappear as well. The silver light tainting the Divine Demon Pillar faded quickly, causing the Yin-Yang Taiji pattern on the pillar to become chaotic and scatter, reverting to black and white spiritual lights. The black and white prohibitions on the surrounding walls also vanished into thin air. Mi Su’s eyes flashed at this, and she communicated a message to the Ape Ancestor and Tu Shantong, her form suddenly transforming into a white light shooting out, heading straight for the blood-colored mask on the Divine Demon Pillar. "Seeking death!" The Lord of Black and White roared in rage, raising a palm to strike the Divine Demon Pillar. The pillar’s black and white light burst forth, then condensed into a rolling Taiji pattern again. A white light shot from afar, reaching above the Divine Demon Pillar in the blink of an eye, it was Tu Shantong’s white book scroll, like a meteor rushing towards the Lord of Black and White. Upon witnessing this, the two Bodhisattvas, Manjusri and Samantabhadra, exchanged a glance and immediately deployed the Futu Gold Bowl and Vajra Pestle Staff to meet it. Though the Lord of Black and White intended for Shen Luo to inherit the entrance to the Well of Demons and Gods, if they could use this opportunity to gain favor, the situation might just turn around.
