Chapter 522: Battle at Cangwu Mountain
Chapter 522: Battle at Cangwu Mountain
Amidst the endless rain, a black-robed elder strolled leisurely from outside the mountain.
Gazing upon the towering and majestic Cangwu Mountain with its three suspended halls, a peculiar glint flashed in his eyes.
"Cangwu Mountain, the Phoenix Demon, and the Phoenix Empyrean!"
Just as he was about to step into the moment of Cangwu, a qingshan maiden blocked his path with a cold demeanor.
"This is the sacred ground of the Avian Clan, intruders halt!"
The black-robed elder chuckled and shook his head, "A gathering place for young birds dares to call itself the sacred ground of the Avian Clan. Little girl, you should know that there are always greater beings beyond your comprehension."
Qingfeng's expression remained cold, "I understand that there are greater beings and higher realms. But here, you are the outsider. A human Venerable Transcender dares to venture into the Wild Frontier. Are you planning to blatantly break the ancient alliance?"
The black-robed elder smiled but remained silent.
This response caused a slight disturbance on Qingfeng's cold face.
Was he admitting it?
Just as her heart stirred, the black-robed elder abruptly reached out towards Qingfeng.
Simultaneously, within a range of several thousand li, the wind and clouds trembled, the rain curtain reversed, and a heaven-ward giant hand slowly formed, reaching out to grab Qingfeng.
The speed was very slow.
Qingfeng let out a cold laugh, and a faint disturbance appeared in the space before her.
As she took a step forward, she was about to unleash her spatial secret art that could traverse vast distances in an instant.
However, the next moment!
Bang!
She was flung back, her entire body flying in reverse.
Failure!
How could this be?
Qingfeng's heart trembled, and as her gaze swept her surroundings, there was clearly nothing there.
"Something's wrong!"
"It's water!"
"After months of continuous snow, a dense water vapor formed, which even array masters couldn't easily disperse. These water vapors are clearly under this person's control, and the pervasive water vapor has hindered my spatial secret art."
"A Venerable Transcender who has mastered the spatial law of water!"
In an instant, Qingfeng, who excelled in combat, understood why her spatial talent was unable to activate.
At that very moment, the slow-moving giant hand had somehow reached within arm's reach.
Seemingly slow yet fast, it was like dripping water wearing away stone.
Buzz!
The massive hand suddenly clenched.
Satisfaction flashed across the black-robed elder's face, "Breaking the alliance is inevitable. The war between humans and demons that halted in ancient times is about to be reignited. At this juncture, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like you, who has comprehended the bloodline talent of the most powerful and mysterious spatial talent, is indeed an unpredictable variable."
"I, the elder, will personally initiate this human-demon war for the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World!"
As he spoke, he was about to unleash his divine sense to crush Qingfeng.
In the void, the giant hand gradually transformed into a transparent droplet of water, imprisoning a graceful figure within, like an amber-encased beauty.
However!
The next moment!
Boom!
The droplet, shrunk to an extreme, suddenly exploded.
In the void, a figure hundreds of zhang long stretched its wings.
At this moment, azure brilliance enveloped the sky, as if the entire sky were shrouded beneath her graceful figure.
A soft chirp pierced through the clouds and mist!
The overcast sky suddenly cleared, and the endless rain curtain evaporated in an instant.
At this very moment, the azure sky and sea stretched boundlessly, and only the azure phoenix's melody lingered.
Witnessing this, the black-robed elder exclaimed, "What a divine soaring bird, perfect to be the guardian spirit beast of my Abyss Sect!"
As he spoke, he clapped his palms together, and vast magical energy, accompanied by a hint of principle power, enveloped the unparalleled divine bird from all directions.
Judging by his posture, he seemed to have abandoned the intention to kill and instead aimed to capture her alive.
Facing these attacks, Qingfeng, in her true form, remained unafraid, and with each flap of her wings, spatial ripples surged, continuously counteracting the principle power.
Seeing this, the black-robed elder's heart grew more anxious.
A Qingluan who had awakened her spatial talent at the Nascent Soul stage had an immeasurable future!
If he could capture her alive, regardless of her true nature, in the war between humans and demons, his position in this realm would surely rank among the top five.
If he could assist Qingluan in advancing to the Transcendent stage, with their combined power, they would reign supreme in this realm!
He glanced at Cangwu Mountain, where the avian clan had gathered, and shouted to those behind him.
"Stop watching, quickly flatten Cangwu Mountain while its master is away!"
"After this battle, I grant you three entry into my Abyss Sect for cultivation!"
"We obey the ancestor's decree!"
Three voices echoed in unison.
In an instant, three familiar figures flew in from a distance.
Glancing at the black-robed elder who wanted to capture Qingluan, they tactfully changed direction and rushed into Cangwu Mountain.
Almost simultaneously, as the three figures charged in.
A shrill cry echoed from the Cross-Reality Hall.
"Damn humans!"
The next moment, a woman in a tight black dress with a curvaceous figure stepped out.
But what was terrifying was that instead of a beautiful face, she had an ugly crow's head on her neck.
"A crow-headed human with ugly feathers, a sight even the Joyful Harmony Sect wouldn't bother to collect," the Huan Huan Ancestor laughed arrogantly.
You Quan's expression turned extremely ugly.
At the critical moment of her transformation, someone had forcefully interrupted her, and now she was filled with anger!
"I'll kill you all!"
The rolling shrill cry unleashed a powerful sonic attack, causing even three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators to slightly change their expressions.
(End)
Not only that, within the Cross-Reality Hall, powerful auras rose one after another.
At first glance, there were at least a dozen auras comparable to Nascent Soul Stage experts.
The Huan Huan Ancestor's expression changed slightly, "Quickly engage and break through, I'll deal with this crow, the rest are yours!"
He had picked up a bargain!
The Heaven's Peak Zen Sect's Huiping Monastic nodded, and with a flick of his monk's robe, he encircled several Nascent Soul Stage demonic birds.
As for the Quintessence Sect's Divine Yuan True Person, he was delighted and rushed straight towards the Cross-Reality Hall.
His expression clearly showed that he had a plan!
You Quan glanced at the Divine Yuan True Person, her face darkened, and she sent a sound transmission.
"Thunder Prison, kill the prisoners in the dungeon first, then stop the strong ones!"
As she spoke, her body transformed, returning to her original black crow form.
This human body was not thoroughly transformed, and she was too unfamiliar with it, making it unsuitable for combat.
Inside the Cross-Reality Hall, several figures were also rushing towards the Divine Yuan True Person.
In response, the Divine Yuan True Person took out a small tower, stepped on it, and from within, multi-colored single rays of light flew out.
The demonic beasts that tried to block him struggled to withstand these rays of light.
The Empress Great Transcender was a Great Transcender! Especially for someone like the Divine Yuan True Person, who had no weaknesses and cultivated all five elements, facing those of lower cultivation, he was almost an overwhelming force unless they had powerful techniques.
The demonic cultivators could only slightly resist the Divine Yuan True Person's techniques with their Lifebound Demonic Arts, and their other methods were completely ineffective.
At this moment, all the Fourth Rank Demonic Beasts at the Nascent Soul Stage began to transform into their original forms, fighting with all their might.
This battle, from the start, entered a white-hot stage.
...
Beyond the Cangwu Mountain, a million miles away.
Three figures slowly emerged.
A man with an awe-inspiring face, filled with dignity, looked towards the direction of Cangwu Mountain, a satisfied expression on his face.
Behind him, one of the two people whispered, "Elder Tian, according to the agreement, shouldn't we help them?"
"Agreement?" Elder Tian slowly shook his head, "The agreement was only for Phoenix Empyrean to help me, not for me to help them."
"But they are our fellow demons, shouldn't we..."
"You should ask Phoenix Empyrean if she considers herself a part of our Demon Race in the Mountain Sea Realm."
Elder Tian coldly smiled, his eyes filled with hesitation.
After this battle, the unstable forces within the Demon Race in Cangwu Mountain will be eliminated by the hands of a human Great Transcender.
Then, using the external crisis as pressure, he will unify the demons in the million mountains of the Eastern Wasteland, with him as their leader, and launch a war against the human race, reclaiming all the territories lost by the Eastern Wasteland Demon Race in the last three thousand years.
If he could defeat the Abyss Sect, it would be even better!
At that time, with the Eastern Wasteland Demon Race occupying an entire continent, facing off against the Central Continent's human race across the Eastern Abyss, Elder Tian would become the first unifier of the Eastern Wasteland in history!
"Qing He is weak and incompetent, Phoenix Empyrean is elusive, and several ancient and ignorant primordial beasts, only I, Mountain Level Lord Elder Tian, am the true destiny of the Eastern Wasteland!"
"Phoenix Empyrean, is this the extent of the legacy you left behind?"
...
Deep within the Cangwu Mountain's dungeon.
The incident happened suddenly, and Luo Chen had no time to react.
However, as he turned around, the Lifebound Treasure he had been cultivating for a short time was snatched away.
The mental connection was still there, but no matter how he urged it, the Primordial Cauldron showed no response.
Just as his expression turned ugly, Tian Yezhi said leisurely, "My things were all taken by the demons of Cangwu Mountain, this treasure of yours is not bad, and it was personally refined by me, so I'll borrow it for a while."
As he spoke, he exchanged a glance with Han Zhan, and the two nodded in understanding, flying towards the dungeon exit together.
Just as they rushed to the dungeon entrance, Tian Yezhi's face changed drastically.
"Retreat!"
"Quickly retreat!"
However, it was already too late.
A burst of violent power suddenly exploded.
The white flash completely illuminated the dark dungeon.
Boom! Boom! Two heavy sounds of objects falling to the ground echoed, accompanied by a robust figure, like a Thunder God, slowly stepping in.
"The despicable humans, I've heard of it before."
"Today, with me, Thunder Prison, guarding this dungeon, you two...die!"
He clenched his wrist, and violent lightning crackled.
In this burst of power, without a physical body to block, Han Zhan, left only with his Nascent Soul, was like a heavily struck.
"Ah...Fellow Daoist, save me!"
However, Tian Yezhi was struggling himself, where would he have the spare energy to save Han Zhan.
The screams gradually weakened and finally disappeared completely.
Just one strike!
Han Zhan, who had been barely hanging on, the Supreme Elder of the Falling Cloud Sect, renowned in the Jade Tripod Realm, vanished into the vast sea of thunder.
Thunder Prison, having struck once, showed no sign of pride or hesitation.
His entire body erupted, crossing hundreds of meters in an instant, and punched towards Tian Yezhi.
The Heaven Refiner's eyes narrowed with fury as he manipulated the Primordial Cauldron to block the attack.
Clang!
A deafening sound reverberated.
The round Primordial Cauldron was struck and sent flying backward.
The Heaven Refiner himself was hit by the backlash, his face turning red.
"It's not my personally refined True Artifact, and controlling it is not easy!" he roared.
He yelled again, using the cauldron to directly withstand several attacks from Thunder Prison. After the cauldron was knocked away, he completely ignored it and charged forward, his body enveloped in wind and thunder, ready to engage in close combat with his physical strength against a Mid-stage Nascent Soul Demon Emperor.
In the instant they clashed, countless fist shadows appeared in the blink of an eye.
Under the continuous attacks, Thunder Prison was temporarily suppressed by the Heaven Refiner and forced to retreat continuously.
"Don't underestimate me. My physical body is so powerful that even your esteemed Qingfeng had to give me a second glance," the Heaven Refiner said.
"Be sensible and clear the way. Let me out!"
"Get out of my way!"
Amid the fierce battle, the Heaven Refiner kept shouting angrily, showing no demeanor of an enlightened cultivator.
Under his suppression, Thunder Prison's body was covered in wounds, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Boom!
Another clash, and both figures were forced back by the backlash.
Thunder Prison's robust figure still stood in front of the exit.
The prison, made of unknown material, remained intact except for slightly bent bars, showing no signs of damage.
The Heaven Refiner panted, glaring at Thunder Prison.
"Move aside, or the next strike will kill you!"
Thunder Prison wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a sinister smile.
"A dried-up corpse in a tomb dares to speak such words!"
As he spoke, he took a deep breath, and his abdomen suddenly expanded.
The next moment, he opened his mouth wide.
"Roar!!!"
A thunderous roar filled the entire prison.
Demonic Art - Thunder Roar!
Even the prepared Heaven Refiner couldn't help but tremble at the violent thunderous roar.
But just as his mind was shaken, a sense of impending doom made him snap back to his senses.
The power of wind and thunder erupted from within his Nascent Soul.
However, it was already too late.
A hand had ruthlessly pierced his Dantian, firmly grasping his tattered Nascent Soul.
The Heaven Refiner glared at Thunder Prison with resentment.
"If not for the excessive extraction of my Nascent Soul Power and the lack of my Lifebound Treasure, how could you have defeated me?"
Thunder Prison smiled grimly, "Go tell that to the King of Hell in the Underworld!"
With that, he crushed the Heaven Refiner's Nascent Soul into pieces with his hand.
After personally eliminating a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator, Thunder Prison heaved a sigh of relief.
He casually pushed aside the Heaven Refiner's old and decaying corpse, his gaze sharpening as he exclaimed, "Hey, you're still alive?"
In the deepest corner of the dungeon, Luo Chen shivered, his face pale.
He stammered, "Junior... my divine soul is still intact. Senior's attack wasn't focused on me, so I barely managed..."
Thunder Prison frowned.
Although he had deliberately restrained his attack range, aiming to concentrate his power, the Thunder Roar was an area-of-effect killing move. Despite being only a few miles apart, this Golden Core Cultivator had survived.
"Earlier, the Heaven Refiner was only stunned for a moment. Is it because I haven't fought in a long time and my demonic art has become rusty?" he wondered.
As his thoughts raced, his gaze fell upon Luo Chen, growing increasingly unfriendly.
His orders were to kill all the prisoners in the dungeon! Luo Chen, sensing the unfriendly gaze, cried out in a panic, "You can't kill me! I'm the one chosen by the Dark Spring Hall Master. She bestowed upon me a Supreme Grade Third Stage Demonic Beast, and helped me cultivate the Heavenly Phoenix Rebirth Scripture. You can't kill me!"
"Oh, and there's also the Shape Transformation Pill. It's the key to the rise of Cangwu Mountain. If you kill me, who will refine pills for you?"
Thunder Prison's eyebrows furrowed, and the killing intent in his heart weakened slightly.
The next moment, his eyes sharpened.
He reached out towards Luo Chen.
"Fine, I won't kill you. But for now, stay hidden in the dungeon and don't go out."
He held the Thousand-Year Thunder Blossom that Luo Chen had given him, a satisfied look on his face.
"It's chaotic outside, so take care of yourself."
After saying this, he headed towards the upper levels of the dungeon, reaching behind his back as he walked.
With a crackling sound, a whip-like weapon was drawn from his spine.
The Heaven Refiner?
Hmph!
You weren't at your peak, so how could I have fought with all my strength?
With this Thunder Whip, I dare to challenge even a Late-stage Nascent Soul great cultivator!
Thunder Prison Phoenix, inheriting the bloodline of the ancient beast Thunder Peng, is the most battle-ready member of the Demon Race!
I heard that a Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator broke in, so I killed him to solidify my position as the Fourth Lord of Cangwu Mountain!
And after he left...
Luo Chen, his face pale and filled with panic, slowly stood up from the corner.
His expression was calm, showing no trace of his previous cowardice.
He flipped his wrist, and a small black wooden figure appeared in his hand.
"Senior Han, your fake death technique is truly profound!"
