Chapter 225 Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise seal the heavens and suppr
Su Fan took a deep breath, then said solemnly:
"When I place and awaken these four sacred beasts, the evil calamity will definitely notice and wreak havoc. At that time, you and Elder Yuan will need to stop it."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qingsheng felt a great responsibility and nodded emphatically: "Okay, no problem, we'll take care of it!"
If this evil calamity cannot be sealed off, once the extraterrestrial creature tide breaches the Northern Frontier City, its next step will be to directly invade the heartland of China.
As they spoke, the two had reached the highest point of the city wall.
The view from here is even more terrifying.
Thirty miles outside the city of Beijiang, the land has been reduced to scorched earth.
Further away, the spatial rift had expanded to a length of a thousand feet.
Deep within the rift, a colossal, indescribable entity could be vaguely seen writhing, each movement causing the space to tremble.
"That's part of the true form of the evil calamity," Ma Tao said in a deep voice. "The remains of an extraterrestrial evil god."
Seeing the horrific scene, Su Fan took a deep breath: "Let's begin."
Ma Tao nodded and flew into the air, facing the terrifying and indescribable evil calamity.
Holding the Zhu Rong staff, he stood vigilantly in the air, ready to intervene immediately should any evil calamity erupt.
On the city wall of the northern border, a fierce wind howled.
Ma Tao hovered in mid-air, the true fire of the sun on the Zhurong staff burning to its limit, forming a blazing halo behind him.
Just as Su Fan was about to begin activating the divine statues of the Four Divine Beasts, the space in front of him rippled, and Yuan Qingsheng's figure appeared.
"Young friend Su, how is the battle going? I'm late."
Yuan Qingsheng asked anxiously.
When Su Fan saw Yuan Qingsheng arrive, his face lit up with joy.
"Elder Yuan, you've come at the right time. When the evil calamity strikes later, we'll need you and Elder Ma to work together to fend it off..."
Su Fan briefly explained the situation to Yuan Qingsheng, who nodded solemnly after listening.
"Don't worry, even if it means death, Old Ma and I will stop this calamity!"
After speaking, Yuan Qingsheng came to Ma Tao's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, looking together at the indescribable crack.
Ma Tao chuckled and patted Yuan Qingsheng on the chest, saying, "You old man, you've finally arrived!"
Yuan Qingsheng grinned and said, "We're late, so we can't let you steal the spotlight all by yourself."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Su Fan looked at a part of the terrifying evil calamity, took a deep breath, and took out the divine statues of the Four Sacred Beasts from his system space.
As soon as the statues of the Four Divine Beasts were taken out, something bad happened!
The being within that thousand-foot-deep rift has actually begun to awaken.
Su Fan felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this.
It seems that this calamity is even more sensitive to the Four Divine Beasts than he imagined.
"It's coming out."
Ma Tao said in a deep voice, his voice reaching Yuan Qingsheng's ears.
Looking into the crack, Yuan Qingsheng saw that the indescribable entity was writhing more and more violently deep within the crack.
A giant claw covered in black bone armor and covered in barbs slowly emerged from the crack. Even with only half of its claw tip showing, the oppressive aura emanating from it made it difficult for the warriors on the entire battlefield to breathe.
"We can't let it come out completely!"
Yuan Qingsheng roared, and the Gonggong Halberd in his hand burst forth with an unprecedented blue light.
"The Milky Way hangs upside down!"
In the sky, a phantom Milky Way appeared, and then it truly flowed backward, cascading down like a waterfall towards the giant claw.
This is one of the supernatural powers of Gonggong, the water god, which can draw upon the waters of the nine heavens to wash away all things.
The giant claw was impacted by the Milky Way, causing its movements to falter.
But just three breaths later, the giant claw suddenly trembled, shattering the Milky Way!
"puff--"
Yuan Qingsheng coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale.
He looked up at the giant claw of evil with some fear.
You mean this thing in its complete form was severely injured by a Divine Master from the Northern Frontier Su family who had only contracted with an S-rank god?!
Yuan Qingsheng felt that this story was absolutely outrageous!
This attack was his full strength, yet it could only hold off his opponent for a moment.
You must know, he is a ninth-tier Divine Master who has contracted with the SR-level water god Gonggong!
The most powerful God-Keeper on the entire Blue Star!
"Old Yuan!" Ma Tao called out urgently.
"I'm fine!" Yuan Qingsheng's eyes flashed with ferocity as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Continue! Every second counts!"
Seeing this, Su Fan knew he couldn't wait any longer.
"The four sages returned to their positions and guarded the four cardinal directions."
Su Fan gave a low shout and threw the four statues of gods into the air.
The statues automatically flew to the four corners of the city wall and landed steadily in the directions of east, south, west, and north.
The Azure Dragon descended to the east, and as it landed, clouds gathered in the eastern sky, and a faint dragon's roar could be heard.
The Vermilion Bird is in the south, and the temperature in the south rises sharply, with illusory flame lotus flowers appearing in the air.
The White Tiger is in the west, where the western spirit is vigorous and powerful. The weapons on the city walls clang in unison, as if paying homage to a king.
Xuanwu is in the north, where the northern air is filled with moisture, and crystal-clear frost condenses on the scorched earth.
The four extraordinary phenomena shocked the entire audience!
Even the being within the crack sensed the threat, and its giant claw suddenly accelerated, attempting to extend fully out of the crack.
"Don't even think about it!"
Ma Tao roared and raised Zhu Rong's staff high.
"Great Sun's True Flame - Scorching Heaven and Boiling Sea!"
The halo behind him suddenly expanded, transforming into a real phantom of the sun.
Endless true fire from the sun poured down, transforming into a waterfall of flames that drenched the giant claw.
"hiss--"
A piercing hiss came from deep within the crack.
The giant claw was scorched by the sun's true fire, and the black bone armor began to turn red and crack.
But this only enraged the evil calamity, and the giant claw, ignoring the burning sensation, forced its way out another section.
At this moment, the giant claw had fully extended out of the crack.
It was a terrifying claw that was hundreds of feet long, with five claws like five mountain peaks. Black corrosive liquid flowed from the tips of the claws, dripping onto the ground and etching deep, bottomless holes into it.
"It's too late!"
Ma Tao turned his head and said urgently, "Su Fan, hurry!"
Su Fan had already been sitting cross-legged in the center of the city wall.
He formed a hand seal, took out four summoning stones, and threw them at the statues of the four sacred beasts, while chanting ancient incantations.
"The Azure Dragon of the East, the Divine Lord Mengzhang, the master of the seven constellations of Horn, Neck, Root, Room, Heart, Tail, and Winnowing Basket, who controls the mechanism of spring's birth, moves clouds and spreads rain, and blesses all living beings—"
Su Fan's voice was initially soft, but as the incantation progressed, it grew louder and louder, finally resounding like a great bell, echoing throughout the heavens and earth:
"The azure dragon coils in the east, shaking the land; spring thunder awakens all things, bringing life!"
"The vitality of the Yi Wood transforms into sweet rain, and the clouds, like dragons, ward off evil!"
"A calamity has struck, tearing apart our lands; the Azure Dragon, heed my call!"
"Junior Su Fan respectfully welcomes Divine Lord Meng Zhang..."
"Azure Dragon!!!"
As the last word was uttered, the Azure Dragon God statue in the east erupted with a dazzling azure light.
In the azure light, a hundred-foot-long azure dragon soared into the sky, its roar shaking the heavens!
The Azure Dragon's divine shadow was incomparably majestic.
Each of its dragon scales was as lustrous as jade, its horns were like coral branches, and its whiskers swayed, creating gusts of spring breeze.
What is most striking is His eyes—
A pair of cyan-gold vertical pupils, their eyes seem to contain endless vitality and wisdom.
The Azure Dragon circled once in the air, its gaze sweeping across the battlefield.
All the wounded soldiers whose eyes touched healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Meanwhile, swarms of extraterrestrial creatures were struck as if by lightning, their movements becoming sluggish.
Then, Azure Dragon proclaimed loudly, "The Demon Race of China! Divine Lord Mengzhang, Azure Dragon!"
After saying that, He turned to look at Su Fan's position.
"Azure Dragon, guard the East!" Su Fan said to Azure Dragon.
The Azure Dragon let out a long roar and flew towards the eastern horizon, where it coiled up.
A blue light emanated from Him, forming a blue barrier that covered the eastern battlefield.
The first sacred beast deity has been successfully awakened!
Although the Azure Dragon deity has been awakened, it is not enough to suppress the evil calamity.
"We can't stop."
Su Fan took a deep breath and looked toward the location of the Vermilion Bird God statue.
"The Vermilion Bird of the South, the Lord of Lingguang, the master of the seven constellations of Jing, Gui, Liu, Xing, Zhang, Yi, and Zhen, who governs the growth of summer, controls fire and flames, and burns away evil and filth—"
The incantation rose again, burning with the intensity of blood:
"The Vermilion Bird spreads its wings, illuminating the southern sky; the fiery flames burn away evil, purifying the world!"
"The True Flame of Nanming dispels the demonic aura; its ethereal blaze illuminates the vast universe!"
"A calamity has befallen the northern frontier; heed my call, Vermilion Bird!"
"Junior Su Fan respectfully welcomes Lord Ling Guang..."
"Suzaku!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tremendous sound emanated from the statue of the Vermilion Bird deity.
"boom--"
The statue of the Vermilion Bird deity erupted with towering flames.
That was no ordinary flame, but the Southern Bright Fire, the innate fire essence, which is specifically designed to subdue evil spirits.
From within the flames, a divine bird spreads its wings and emerges.
The Vermilion Bird's feathers are not simply red, but rather a gradient that changes from crimson to golden yellow and then to pure white.
Its tail feathers were long and trailed trails of fire.
The Vermilion Bird sings a clear song, its voice like that of a phoenix flute.
He flapped his wings in the air, scattering sparks everywhere.
The sparks that landed on the extraterrestrial creatures immediately ignited into raging flames that the creatures could not extinguish no matter how much they rolled around.
However, when it falls on the Divine Master, it transforms into a warm healing power.
Then, the Vermilion Bird spread its wings and flew into the sky, proclaiming in a clear voice:
"The Demon Clan of China! Lord Lingguang, Vermilion Bird!"
Su Fan hissed, "Vermilion Bird, guard the south!"
The Vermilion Bird circled three times in the air before flying towards the southern horizon.
The crimson barrier unfolded, connecting with the azure barrier of the Azure Dragon.
The second sacred beast deity has been successfully awakened!
At this moment, Su Fan's body began to tremble.
Having awakened two sacred beast deities in succession, Su Fan's divine power was also greatly depleted, almost to the point of exhaustion.
But Su Fan knew that he absolutely could not stop now.
Su Fan opened the system space and happened to see that there was an item that could restore divine power today—the Source of Divine Power!
"System, exchange for 'Divine Power Source'!" Su Fan shouted in his mind.
[Exchange successful, 500 million popularity points consumed!]
As the system space voice rang out, a warm and gentle power surged out from the system space and flowed into Su Fan's body.
Su Fan's divine power rapidly recovered.
With his power restored, Su Fan's spirits lifted, and he immediately turned to the Xuanwu God statue.
"The Northern Black Tortoise, the Divine Lord of Brightness, the master of the seven constellations of Dou, Niu, Nu, Xu, Wei, Shi, and Bi, who govern the mechanism of winter storage, control water and suppress the sea, and safeguard heaven and earth—"
The incantation grew as thick as a mountain:
"The Black Tortoise quells the storms in the north, the Mysterious Dark Waters protect the mountains and rivers!"
"The tortoise and snake coil together to guard the four directions; the essence of Ren water transforms into ice netting!"
"A calamity has struck, tearing the sky apart; the divine shadow of Xuanwu heeds my call!"
"Junior Su Fan respectfully welcomes the Divine Lord Zhiming..."
"Black Tortoise!!!"
The statue of Xuanwu, the god of war, began to shake violently.
The black light rippled outwards like waves, swallowing up even sound in its wake.
"roar--"
With a deep roar, the divine beast, a combination of tortoise and snake, emerged from the waves.
The Xuanwu divine shadow was exceptionally large, its tortoise shell resembling a continuous mountain range, covered with ancient runes.
The snake's head was raised, its eyes like abysses, as if capable of swallowing all light.
Xuanwu is best at defense.
After He appeared, He looked up and sprayed a jet of black water into the sky.
The water column exploded in the air, turning into countless black droplets that fell and formed a black moat around the city of Beijiang.
The river may look ordinary, but any creature from outside the region that touches it will be immediately frozen and sunk.
Then, He proclaimed in a loud voice: "The demon race of China! The Divine Lord Zhiming..."
"Black Tortoise!!!"
After Xuanwu finished speaking, he also looked at Su Fan and obeyed Su Fan's orders.
"Xuanwu, guard the north!"
Su Fan's voice was already hoarse.
Xuanwu nodded to Su Fan, then slowly sank into the northern land.
The black barrier rises and connects with the blue and red barriers.
The three sacred beasts have returned to their positions, and the three-colored barrier now covers three-quarters of the battlefield!
Only one sacred beast deity remains.
The evil calamity within the cracks was clearly aware of the crisis.
The hundred-foot-long giant claw swung wildly, trying to interrupt Su Fan's ritual.
Ma Tao and Yuan Qingsheng fought desperately to stop them, both of them covered in wounds, but they still refused to back down an inch.
"Old Ma, hang in there a little longer!"
Yuan Qingsheng roared, and the blue light on Gonggong Halberd had dimmed by more than half.
"Nonsense, I'm not done living yet!"
Ma Tao grinned, revealing his blood-stained teeth, and the flames on the Zhurong Staff rose again.
Their desperate efforts bought Su Fan precious time.
Su Fan looked at the White Tiger God statue with a solemn expression.
This is the final step, and also the most crucial one.
The White Tiger is the master of killing and is the most powerful of the four sacred beasts in terms of attack power. Only it can truly harm the true form of the evil calamity.
"The White Tiger of the West, the God of War, the master of the seven constellations Kui, Lou, Wei, Mao, Bi, Zi, and Shen, who oversees the autumn harvest, and is in charge of warfare, slaying demons and eliminating evil—"
With his last ounce of strength, Su Fan recited the final incantation:
"The White Tiger roars westward, sweeping away the demonic aura; the sharp energy of Geng metal shatters evil spirits!"
"The overseer wields the power of killing, his tiger claws tearing through the sky to subdue the Demon Lord!"
"A calamity befalls the world now; heed my call, White Tiger!"
"Junior Su Fan respectfully welcomes the Divine Lord Jianbing..."
"White Tiger!!!"
By the last sentence, Su Fan's voice was hoarse from shouting.
As soon as he finished speaking, the White Tiger God statue burst forth with a blinding white light.
The white light was so sharp it seemed to cut through space, and it would sting the eyes of anyone who looked directly at it.
Amidst the light, a tiger's roar shook the heavens and the earth!
A fierce tiger with piercing eyes and a white forehead emerged from the clouds.
The White Tiger Divine Shadow is mighty, its size no less than that of the Azure Dragon, but its temperament is completely different.
The Azure Dragon exudes both majesty and benevolence, while the White Tiger embodies pure killing intent.
The white tiger's eyes were like two unsheathed swords; wherever its gaze fell, even the air seemed to hiss as if it were being cut.
The tiger's claws landed, and the earth cracked open!
With a sweep of its tail, the mountain rocks crumbled!
The most terrifying thing is the fangs in the white tiger's mouth, each one gleaming with the cold light of Geng metal, capable of crushing everything in the world.
As soon as the white tiger appeared, its gaze locked onto the giant claw in the crack.
Then, He proclaimed in a loud voice, "The Demon Race of China! The Overseer God, White Tiger!"
The white tiger's sharp eyes swept over Su Fan, making Su Fan's scalp tingle, but he still gave the order:
"White Tiger, guard the west!"
The white tiger roared and transformed into a beam of white light, shooting towards the western horizon.
The white barrier unfolds and connects with the other three colored barriers.
All four sacred beasts have returned to their rightful places!
