Ryuk looked on as that purple dot became more and more clear.
Ryuk said loudly as he touched his chest, "Five compound attack - Metal Lungs!"
Five pillars crafted of Gold and steel rose slowly trapping Purple Sage - General Weibei
Written on the beautiful skin of these magnificent obelisks was a beautiful engraving which coursed with the metal attribute.
The purple sage struggled in the air as the mount he was flying on felt it's body being torn apart on the cellular level.
The purple sage felt his own body similarily feel the pain of being split apart. Furthermore he felt as if the internal air pressure in his lungs was distorted and he couldn't breathe.
He quickly made a slicing motion and tore the void. He entered a cut and escapes reality into another dimension.
Ryuk snorted, "You think I didn't know the most simple of sage abilities to enter the void? Space Formation open!"
Ryuk pulled his hands back and numerous small threads were similarly pulled. Many Marking appeared all over each shining brightly and they all joined to form a 180 sided star.
Space seemed to shift and become distorted inexplicably and soon a figure rushed out of another cut in reality.
He had a look of fear all over his expression.
Purple sage coughed, "Damn it! How could the void shatter? Who is this child!"
Ryuk spat out some blood his face slightly pale.
Ryuk sighed, "Really... Using such powerful formations is really difficult on my body. Well lets continue. Black I trust your formation is also near completion?"
Black said in a Spiritual message, "Finished? Are you insane? This type of formation is one of the most difficult and taxing! I've only done about sixty percent!"
Ryuk laughed, "You are the formation genius of the demon race! It's my belief that you can do it!"
Black responded with a difficult grunt.
Ryuk then touched his abdomen with his two hands shouting, "Five compound attack - Water Kidney!"
Suddenly around the crouched Purple Sage Ten crystal pillars rose coiling as if a Panlong.
The long pillars shone in a cyan gleam and the purple sage felt his body become extremely docile and unresponsive as if every cell was rotating without control. He spat out some blood and roared pulling a magnificent Blue colored Bison from his ring and began to ride it to smash against these pillars, but as he tried to his Bison fell to the ground it's eyes undilating as if dead.
The purple sage roared, "What is this! Huh? Is that a illusion formation?!"
The purple sage spun his head around and truly around the Ten crystal towers were intricate and powerful illusion formations.
The longer the Purple Sage remained in the Water confinement the more he felt his legs begin to swell as if being filled by disgusting muddy water and a deep shortness of breath. So he quickly pulled out another Blue Bison and ran out.
The purple sage felt fury and indignation fill his every being. He truly wanted to make Ryuk suffer a fate worse than death. He swore he would make Ryuk one of his beasts! No he would make Ryuk one of those filthy pigs eating its own urine and shit! When had a truth sage as himself been so humiliated by q foundation stage Cultivator?! Sure he may be a support or external offensive Cultivator, but the difference between a Sage and a mere mortal was like Heaven and Earth!
Ryuk's complexion worsened significantly and he took twenty blood red pills full of blood essence and heavily hit his right top abdomen causing him to cough up some blood and said loudly, "Five compound attack - Wood Liver!"
Ryuk truly didn't count too much on this formation as at the level he was proficient in he absolutely couldn't do anything important. Furthermore this formation worked expressly against those who have impurities in their body, but as one becomes a truth sage they become capable of using external qi instead of relying on internal qi. This causes any impurities from the world to be released outwards. This is also the first stage to becoming a Spiritual being and thus they must return to being a purely spiritual being. That is also why when one becomes a truth sage they don't need to breathe or eat anymore simply relying on energy to sufficiently maintain their body.
Indeed just as Ryuk had predicted other than a little deficit in vitality the Purple sage was much more safe and secure compared to before.
Anyway even if Ryuk was to make a more powerful version of the same formation it still wouldn't do much unless the enemy was attributed with decay or death. Wood nature is in essence a more gentle and kind attribute. In fact the Azure dragon could be considered one of the few wood attributed beings that was known for rampage and chaos.
Yet it wasn't over in the least Ryuk slammed his chest and screamed more fiercely compared to other times, "Five compound attack - Fire Heart!"
A burst of qi more fierce than before erupted and one hundred azure swirling fire storms span around making the oxygen dissapear and the purple sage to feel his cells respire. He gained energy, but his body quickly whittled down into a corpse like state. His heart rate sped up like a horse galloping fiercely against the hard earth. He felt his vision go pale and his head fuzzy.
With an intense roar the purple sage summoned a purple lead and a purple horn.
Then he jumped up and a seven headed cobra came under him collecting him. Thick layers of Yin chill spread outwards and cancelled the heating effects of the array. Furthermore numerous shrinking ghosts and spirits were spat out by the snake and flew unobstructed out of the formation running like hungry dogs towards Ryuk.
Ryuk spat outwards, "Violent violet cauldrons!"
Hundreds, then thousands of purple cauldrons formed. They all collaborated and formed a large grid that shielded Ryuk.
Ryuk normally would find these Yin beings as good food, but currently he couldn't be interrupted or else all his work would go to waste and he would die.
Ryuk took a deep breath, "Five compound attack - Earth Spleen!"
81 Earth pillars rose high into the sky as if they were carrying the heavens. Yellow beams of light shot out connecting at the mid point. Turning into a yellow cluster as if a star and then falling downwards like a meteor.
The purple sage felt his body weigh downwards and blood poured horrifyingly out of his skin. The seven headed cobra similarily suffered.
Yet they only suffered for a little until they escaped.
Purple sage laughed violently, "Five elements! Your done aren't you, ya bastard! What got nothing else? Come on I'll let ya get one more hit!"
Ryuk collapsed to the ground and smiled.
He sent a spiritual message towards the middle of the five arrays, "Ryo. Is it done?"
Ryo replied immediately, "Yes master."
Ryuk laughed hysterically using a sword to stand up.
He said, "Well since Purple Sage Webei is so gracious. I will gladly take it. Five Compound attack - Birth of deity!"
The five formations began to shine brightly. The formation lines lit up and then split moving towards the other formations. They all connected forming a new formation, but that wasn't all. Suddenly another formation lit up and a blood red beam rose upwards.
All the formation lines interconnected and formed a 1,00,000 sided star.
Ryuk coughed violently, yet a cheeky smile rested on his pale lips.
He pulled his hands up and the formation brilliantly lit up.
One could see an incorporeal figure rise. You could see it being literally born from blood. Slowly it grew and then you could see it developing a heart, lungs and the other organs. Then a skeleton and then muscles. They all combined together and a massive nearly corporeal body birth.
It had blank eyes as if dead, but faintly the sound of a loud heartbeat vibrated the still air.
It gave a mighty roar as it completely formed and then without a moments rest it dissapeared leaving behind faint after images.
Suddenly it appeared before the purple sage and it's blue bison and shot a fist outwards like a piston. Purple sage pulled out a thin snake which wrapped around his wrist and dragged him out swiftly, but the Blue Bison was smashed into paste.
The purple sage felt anxiety build up and similarily felt humiliation and wrath course through him. He waved his hand and summoned 3 gigantic figures.
One was like a dragon except it had no wings and stood upright like a person. It had large amber reptilian eyes that dilated violently and its thin split tongue danced tauntingly out of its narrow bridges of teeth.
The second was a large bull with golden horns and a pearl like hide that glistened as if made of jade. It's eyes hid a deep rage and it shot slithering snakes of mist from it's nostrils and it exhaled deeply. It's hooves grinded the hard earth like mud.
The third was only had a face. It's mouth agape with sharp dagger like teeth lining it and a purple tongue licking the roof of its mouth. It's canines weirdly bent to the sides. It's eyes looked perverted and weird seemingly if one stared too long they would feel cold shivers randomly run up their body. Finally if one looked closely they could see hundreds of small centipede like feet Continuously moving uniformly.
The three beasts not only had mighty and fearsome bodily strength, but their bodies were wrapped in weird feelings. The head beast seemed to make one feel a sense of being swallowed by a black hole or void. The bull seemed to bring about the noticable smell of blood and it's iron flush. The reptile seemed to weirdly suck away all forms of energy from the environment and even now it seemed like the area around it had lost it's brightness as if the sun's light was faintly being sucked away by the beast.
Yet the deity without an expression in it's still face. It rose quickly into the air and fell down with a heavy palm. A golden glow colored it's skin as it took a deep breath causing small tornado's. It seemed as if the Buddha himself had come back to throw a evil slaying palm.
Yet the large lizard caught the deity's hand and then threw it over it's shoulder on to the ground. If one looked carefully they could see much of the golden glow on the deity had been devoured from the pores of the large lizard.
The deity fell heavily to the ground, but almost immediately after the deity sweepd the lizard off it's feet causing it to similarily fall. Then the deity grappled the lizard and began to heavily punch out causing numerous of lizards scales to crack, but similarily the bright glow of the deity kept dissapearing as if it was losing energy quickly.
The bull didn't seem to wait long till it mooed loudly and dug it's feet heavily and then shot off.
Ryuk scoffed, "Ah? You want to slowly devour me?"
Ryuk slapped his head and said, "Nuclear cataclysm!"
The deity suddenly dimmer becoming extremely faint shifting between present and absent.
Yet it brought a fist up and if one looked extremely closely almost until they were right up against it they could see a single brilliantly bright spec on that fist. It was the size of a grain of sand, but it shone as bright as the sun.
As the fist fell time seemed to slow down and one could see depressions forming on the earth even before the fist had even descended.
With a large explosion a large hole appeared underneath where the lizard was. It seemed as if the hole dissapeared to the other side of the world with seemingly no end.
The Bull had been toppled and tossed with the after effects of the explosion crashing heavily against a nearby mountain with numerous wounds on its magnificent hide, but more harshly was it's internal organs which had been damaged heavily by the powerful vibrations.
Yet the mouth monster was fine. As the energy rebound had slapped it, it had devoured all the energy.
The ghosts surrounding Ryuk had been wiped away and similarily his large purple shield had shattered like glass and fallen like beautiful snow.
Ryuk coughed up blood, but threw heavily over one hundred rocks.
The rocks wrapped around the fading deity.
Each rock had a qi gathering array drawn on it and a huge wave of qi fell into the deity, barely making it corporeal again.
The purple sage had wrapped himself in a large snake which had undergone numerous injuries and hissed in misery and in envy of death.
The purple sage's eyes were blood red in fury. He roared to the point that his voice went sore and cracked. He flew towards Ryuk like a bullet.
He didn't summon any beasts simply relying on his physical strength to attack Ryuk.
Ryuks eyes lit up like lanterns.
This was his plan the whole time.
Firstly he used only formations to create the impression of himself being physically weak. Normally if one was as skilled as Ryuk in formations, enough to do what he did then they were physically immature.
Secondly he knew the purple sage was the other kind of beast tamer. See there are two main types of beast tamers. The first use violence to earn the respect or fear and obedience of their beast. The other use material's like food or make other kinds of deals to establish a friendly relationship so as to obtain the beast. The purple sage was the second type which were also comparatively weak as they didn't need their bodies much. In fact they became somewhat stunted in their Cultivation in general as their beasts did everything for them.
Third Ryuk knew that after so many repeated set backs and humiliation he would fall to his anger and be easy to beat. Furthermore he would want Ryuk to suffer more, and therefore would use enough strength in his opinion to beat a normal formation 3 Cultivator.
He knew the purple sage had many more powerful beasts compared to the three he brought out and the deity would never win so this was his plan.
Ryuk had always planned to directly fight the purple sage. He had already made many assumptions using various memories of the purple sage and made the perfect plan.
Yes Ryuk in comparison normally would be weak in all aspects to a truth sage, but in terms of physical strength in comparison to a human? How could he lose.
He was a devil comprised of the origin beasts and furthermore he actually did body Tempering. If he lost like this then he might as well just die.
Ryuk jumped forward going to face the purple sage.
The purple sage widened his eyes in suprise, yet they soon turned into sharp nasty snake eyes.
Their two fists slammed into each other and immediately a loud crack resounded in the silence.
Ryuk roared and as their fists connected Ryuk sent violent, chaotic qi flushing into purple sages body and almost as if resounding with the powerful vibrations from Ryuks fists they spread like a tumbling river destroying the purple sages meridians.
With a clack sound the purple sages dantian was torn open like a balloon.
He fell in agony down. His near dead eyes looked at Ryuk who had sprouted two crimson wings and floated like a immortal with a evil smile curved upwards and two sets of pearly white teeth.
He fell heavily and caused a small plume of dust to spread. His head had snapped and his body had splintered. Without the flow of qi he was just a bag of meat that fell from the sky.
Ryuk felt as he killed a truth sage a sudden bubbling like a volcano erupting in his throat and as he opened his mouth a proud and arrogant roar filled with the orchestra of dragon roars, tiger growls, Vermillion bird caws, and turtle humming. The world seemed to kneel to Ryuk as this almost reactionary roar sang out.
