The Dawei Divine Curse was of a high level. If the person struck by the talisman was not three realms higher than the caster, they would surely die!

When Ji Xiang obtained the Golden Hammer and confronted the Fire Lord, he saw a strategy to break through the Fire Lord's realm, and he immediately thought of this method.

You have your Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, and I have my undying body.

Tear down the incense of the masses, feign death and lie low, then form the hand seals. At this time, the opponent's vigilance is at its weakest, making them vulnerable to a sneak attack.

From the ninth realm falling to the seventh, the Golden Hammer struck three times in succession, and the seventh realm fell to the sixth! Because Ji Xiang wrote the Dawei Divine Talisman when he was in the third realm, theoretically, it could only kill those in the sixth realm, including those below it.

Ji Xiang had just retracted the Golden Hammer when, to prevent the Fire Lord from having any means to break the Dawei Divine Curse, he shook the Golden Hammer again!

Another 10% of primordial Qi!

By now, 50% of his primordial Qi had been consumed. Adding the physical and primordial Qi expended in fighting the Fire Lord, Ji Xiang was now extremely weak.

Success or failure hinged on this one move. This time, the Golden Hammer was not used to strike, but to amplify the spell!

"Move the Gods!"

Ji Xiang chanted the incantation. Moving the Gods was originally an act in a ritual, but at this moment, shaking the Golden Hammer doubled the power of the spell. The power of the Dawei Divine Curse doubled. The Fire Lord had originally grabbed the Dawei Divine Curse with one hand, about to tear the piece of flesh apart, but how could the Dawei Divine Curse give her this chance?

Scorching hot currents instantly filled the Fire Lord's entire body.

She didn't even have time to shout anything, only hearing Ji Xiang's voice:

"Fellow Daoist, please be on your way... Ten thousand deaths, a thousand rebirths, unceasing day and night!"

Ji Xiang glared and channeled his energy, and the Dawei Divine Curse talisman shone brightly. The Fire Lord felt the world collapsing, her body shattering, and all five senses silenced.

She was stunned by the vast celestial sound of the Dawei Divine Curse, and at the same time, her flesh, blood, and soul were all falling apart.

A loud bang resounded from within her body, but she could no longer hear it. Her entire body only paused for a few breaths, and a violent force spread from the center of the yellow talisman in all directions. Her physical body disintegrated, blood, flesh, bone, sinew, and organs, from large to small, separated and exploded in succession, turning into countless fragments.

This beautiful body had exploded in place!

This was what the Heavenly Law called the "Punishment of Dismemberment"!

The physical body and soul separated, both splitting and dying. Although it didn't reach the level of complete annihilation of body and spirit, it was enough.

The smoke and dust dissipated, and the light also died out. The torrential rain finally overwhelmed the fire that burned the sky.

On the West Second Long Street of the Forbidden City, the wind blew from south to north.

The rain soaked the bluestone slabs, saturated the ruined palaces, and the Alièn people cowered in the corpses of palace maids and eunuchs. The heavy rain extinguished the flames, revealing the true face of the small mountain piled up with corpses.

Ji Xiang's body was breathing heavily. The incense deity's main body wasn't controlling the state of the physical body, so now was the time to release the pressure.

The pressure of fighting a half-Earth Immortal was too great. Although he wasn't affected by any deterrence in the Forbidden City, and didn't have to worry about being frightened or suppressed when fighting enemies of a higher realm, repeatedly urging the Golden Hammer had already consumed 40% of his primordial Qi.

The other consumption goes without saying, it was tiring as hell.

But Ji Xiang still didn't relax his vigilance, still holding the Golden Hammer in his hand, staring at the rotten flesh and debris left by the Fire Lord for a long time, even Emperor Wanli and the others stood in the rain, not daring to make any movements.

No one could guarantee that the Fire Lord wouldn't suddenly rise from the grave like Ji Xiang.

So, everyone just stared at the pool of rotten flesh and blood on the ground, and it was only after about a quarter of an hour that they finally confirmed that the Fire Lord had been blasted to death by the Dawei Divine Curse.

Ji Xiang's mind was also very tired, let alone his physical body. If the incense deity's main body and the physical body's systems hadn't been separate, Ji Xiang would have collapsed to the ground and fainted from exhaustion.

Carrying the Golden Hammer, Ji Xiang went to collect the loot.

His palm touched everywhere on the ground, covered in the blood and rotten flesh of the beautiful woman, but no prompt appeared.

"No... no, where's the Taiyin Calamity Fire?"

Ji Xiang noticed the problem and quickly looked around, but nothing was happening.

A strange thing happened. In the strategy he had just obtained, the Taiyin Calamity Fire should have been suppressed by the Morning Bell, but it didn't say that the sound of the Morning Bell could destroy the Taiyin Calamity Fire.

Moreover, the Three Purities Bell was crushed by the Fire Lord after only being rung once. The Taiyin Calamity Fire shouldn't have disappeared, but should have become loot, like when Song Wuji was killed, and he should have found it.

Ji Xiang groped on the ground for a long time before Emperor Wanli and the others came over. Seeing Ji Xiang looking down and not knowing what he was looking at, Emperor Wanli said, "What are you looking for? I'll help you find it."

Only then did Ji Xiang look up and salute Emperor Wanli. Having survived the disaster, Emperor Wanli went up, patted Ji Xiang's shoulder repeatedly, and said words of praise such as "The younger generation is to be feared" and "Wudang is flourishing."

Then he asked again, "Is this Fire Lord really dead?"

Ji Xiang pondered for a while and said to Emperor Wanli, "She should be dead, but my Taoist magic is weak, and I can't be sure. I also have doubts in my heart."

Emperor Wanli let out a breath and said to Ji Xiang, "You will live with me for the next few days. I'm not at ease either, but don't worry. In a couple of days, Zhang Zhenren of Longhu Mountain will come to the capital to pay his respects. Then I'll have him come here to take a look. With him here, I can feel more at ease."

"You have made a great contribution. Whatever reward you want, as long as it's within my power, I'll grant it to you."

That's what Emperor Wanli said, but everyone knew that his small treasury didn't have much money. In the late Ming Dynasty, the emperor's own small treasury was often very poor. Wanli was a little better. Although he hadn't sent eunuchs out to collect taxes yet, because Zhang Juzheng's reforms had revitalized the country in the previous decade, his small treasury had left something behind these years, even though he had spent a lot. After all, he was a homebody.

Emperor Wanli meant that, Little Ji, giving you a palace on Wudang Mountain as a reward would cost too much money, and the Cabinet probably wouldn't approve it, and my wallet can't handle it either. But in my personal name, applying for a big house in the school district within the Second Ring Road of Beijing for you, and sending you dozens of servants along with it, wouldn't be a problem at all.

You can't live in the First Ring Road, after all, Ji Xiang wasn't a member of the imperial family. The Second Ring Road was already very good.

In order to show his closeness, Emperor Wanli took the initiative to hold Ji Xiang's hand, even though he had black ash on many parts of his body, like he had just come out of a coal mine.

Ji Xiang pretended to be flattered. Of course, the main reason for letting Ji Xiang hold Emperor Wanli's big hand tightly was not just because Emperor Wanli was going to give him a large bonus.

The moment the emperor's hand came into contact with the Taoist's hand.

The blank divine tablet in his inner vision began to show words again.

Although no legacy strangely exploded from Lingxiao Nu, there was an unexpected joy from Emperor Wanli, it was secondhand smoke....

Ji Xiang's eyes flickered with a scorching divine light:

[Tongtian Bright Smoke: I am not afraid of death, what can the gods do to me?]

[Emperor Wanli's three souls were just burned by anger and then quickly extinguished. The large amount of white smoke that appeared from his body was originally a precursor to the burning of ignorance karma. The white smoke released by the burning of anger is said to be able to reach 3,000 zhang high into the sky.]

[Wherever the Bright Smoke reaches, the Heavenly position karma will be invalidated for a moment, and the Human position karma will be invalidated for a day, as if Heavenly Wrath is personally present, and at the same time it possesses the power of "Restraining Gods"! ]
