Chapter 571: Holding the Pass, Unbreachable by Ten Thousand Men
"Senior Brother, if we're judging by distance, we should be relatively close to the core area, right?"
On a peak of the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain, a Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator and a Mid-stage Nascent Soul stood side by side.
The two of them occasionally scanned their surroundings, seemingly trying to determine their direction.
Both Cultivators wore Dao robes with cloud patterns embroidered on the sleeves, indicating their origins.
They were clearly Cultivators from the Cloud Essence Sect, one of the four great Sects, three great Gates, and two great Palaces.
The white-haired elder, referred to as Senior Brother, stroked his long beard and said, "If we fly forward a bit more, we should reach the core area.
But let's wait here for a while to meet up with Junior Brother Xiao and the others.
Although there aren't many treasures here, there's nothing worth fighting over.
However, there are quite a few Cultivators in this place, and it's inevitable that there might be some disagreements. It's better to wait for everyone to arrive."
The Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator nodded in agreement.
Just then, the Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, the elder, let out a soft exclamation.
"Senior Brother, what's wrong?"
"There's a Cultivator approaching! He looks unfamiliar."
The white-haired elder's eyebrows twitched slightly.
At that moment, the Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator beside him also noticed someone approaching.
He thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, it's him. He's the one who bought the map at the trading conference.
He seems to be a solitary Cultivator, and he was alone outside the Spirit Mountain before.
His name is Shi Fengbo."
The white-haired elder nodded, "It seems like it's him!"
After a while, the Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"This person is extremely rude. He must have known that we are here, yet he dares to fly over our heads."
The white-haired elder's eyebrows also twitched slightly, unintentionally.
Although he wasn't one to enjoy conflict, he was a Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator from one of the nine major powers.
At this moment, seeing a Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator flying over his head, he couldn't help but hum softly through his nose.
Hearing this soft hum, Shi Fengbo's figure paused for a moment.
The next moment, he descended directly in front of the two elders.
With an expressionless face, he glanced at the two Cloud Essence Sect Cultivators.
Shi Fengbo spoke coldly, "Do you two have any objections to me passing through here?"
Seeing a Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator daring to be so disrespectful to them, the two Cloud Essence Sect elders felt something was amiss.
However, as Cultivators from one of the nine major powers, they naturally had their own pride.
Facing such rudeness, both of them flashed a hint of anger.
But before they could say anything, Shi Fengbo's cold voice sounded again.
"It's just as well. The Primordial Spirit of a Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator is also a nourishing supplement."
As he spoke, Shi Fengbo's gaze fell on the two elders, looking at them as if they were dead men.
This eerie scene immediately caused the white-haired elder's face to flash with a hint of vigilance.
Then, he saw Shi Fengbo raise his hand.
A purple-black giant claw suddenly appeared and lunged towards them.
"What formidable demonic energy!"
As the white-haired elder's gaze landed on the purple-black giant claw, his face flashed with astonishment.
The next moment, he seemed to have realized something and immediately teleported away.
However, his teleportation technique failed to escape.
The purple-black giant claw, like a tear in the sky, appeared eerily in front of the white-haired elder who had just teleported.
Then, it fiercely grabbed downward.
Seeing this, the white-haired elder's face changed drastically.
Suddenly, an eight-trigram mirror appeared in front of him, emitting black and white rays of light.
They formed a Taiji pattern, facing the purple-black giant claw in the air.
However, this seemingly powerful treasure couldn't withstand the purple-black giant claw and seemed to crumble at its touch.
As soon as it made contact, the Taiji pattern disintegrated.
The purple-black giant claw, unhindered, struck down directly, landing on the white-haired elder's body.
After receiving this heavy blow, the white-haired elder's body couldn't move at all.
His eyes widened as he stared at Shi Fengbo, and he exclaimed in terror, "The Demigod Realm, you are a Foreign Devil..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the white-haired elder's life force had already vanished.
As the purple-black giant claw rose again, it held a Primordial Spirit in its grasp.
The white-haired elder's Primordial Spirit was completely restrained by the purple-black giant claw, unable to struggle or make any sound.
Seeing this, the Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator beside him was even more shocked, his eyes wide open.
As he watched his senior brother's Primordial Spirit being grabbed by the purple-black giant claw, the Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator immediately turned and teleported away.
Even a Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator with white hair couldn't escape.
How could a Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator like me possibly escape from the clutches of these foreign devils?
The purple-black demonic claw flew out once more, grabbing me.
My Nascent Soul was then brought before Shi Fengbo by the purple-black demonic claw.
He swallowed it in one bite.
With a single move, two Nascent Soul Cultivators were killed. Shi Fengbo glanced into the distance before flying forward again.
At the same time, deep within the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain.
Ten Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators stood on a stone platform where several stone paths intersected.
One side had six people, including the Demon Vortex Sect's Grand Elder Huang Kui, Lu Xuedao, Fen Zeian, and Dantai Ze.
The other two were also from the Demon Vortex Sect, one at the Late-stage Nascent Soul and the other at the Mid-stage Nascent Soul.
Opposite them were four people, led by Heaven's First Sect's Grand Elder Meng Xinghe and three other sect members.
Although they were outnumbered four to six, Heaven's First Sect's side showed no signs of weakness.
Meng Xinghe scanned the three who had come from the Northern Frostland and said indifferently, "Elder Huang, if you came here on your own, I have no complaints.
But bringing cultivators from other continents directly here is probably against the rules."
Huang Kui laughed, "Elder Meng, that's not right. Although these three friends are from the Northern Frostland,
they've been on the Skylid Continent for many years and are considered local cultivators.
Moreover, they came here on their own, not brought by me."
"Without your Demon Vortex Sect's guidance, could they have reached the Ascension Platform so quickly?" Meng Xinghe's tone carried a hint of disdain.
He waved his hand, "Never mind. I don't have the time to care about whether they followed you or not.
Step aside and let us pass to the Nine Transformation Palace, and we'll let this matter go."
Upon hearing this, Huang Kui chuckled, "Well, Elder Meng, we were also planning to go to the Nine Transformation Palace.
Why don't you follow us?"
Meng Xinghe's eyes scanned the group, and a hint of surprise flashed in his gaze.
Although he had not revealed his aura until now, an astonishing aura suddenly emanated from his body.
However, facing this aura, Huang Kui showed no fear and continued to smile, "Elder Meng, since we arrived at the Ascension Platform from different paths, there's no question of who came first.
Let's not waste time here; let's have a fight first.
Currently, it's six against four, with five Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators against three.
We are quite confident about this."
Meng Xinghe's eyes narrowed upon hearing this, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"Fine, I have no interest in you, Huang Kui.
However, I've long heard of the Longsky Pavilion from the Northern Frostland, and I'd like to witness their prowess."
At this moment, Fan Zeixian, standing nearby, spoke up. His white robe fluttered without any wind, and he said coldly, "Heaven's First Sect's cultivation techniques and divine abilities are renowned. Fan has also long wanted to witness their power."
Just as a battle seemed imminent, everyone's gaze shifted forward.
Beside a stone staircase leading straight to the summit was an ancient teleportation array.
A white light flickered on the array, indicating that a cultivator was about to teleport.
Chu Ning entered the teleportation array on Spiritless Mountain and took a quick look.
Like the previous teleportation, this array also required both Spirit Stones and Origin Stones for transportation.
Fortunately, Chu Ning had plenty of Origin Stones.
After embedding the Origin Stones and Spirit Stones, Chu Ning's figure vanished amidst spatial fluctuations.
"Huh?"
When Chu Ning stepped onto solid ground again, he was surprised to find that he wasn't casually landing somewhere as before.
Instead, he was inside another teleportation array.
As he stepped out of the array, Chu Ning instinctively extended his divine sense to sense his surroundings.
This revelation shocked him.
In front of him were no fewer than ten Nascent Soul Cultivators.
There were eight Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators alone.
Both sides were formidable, with cultivators from Heaven's First Sect and the Demon Vortex Sect.
The few enemies from the Northern Frostland were also present.
For a moment, Chu Ning couldn't understand the situation between the two sides.
Without time to think, he saw a stone staircase extending upward beside him.
He didn't hesitate and started climbing.
"Stop!"
"How dare you!"
"Chu Ning!"
Several voices rang out simultaneously, and several sharp attacks flew towards Chu Ning.
At this moment, Chu Ning's heart sank.
The moment he stepped onto the stone steps, he felt an immense oppressive force.
Even he couldn't escape by flying at this moment.
"Essence Energy Suppression!"
Chu Ning was shocked to feel the force pressing down on him.
At the same time, a shield appeared behind him, dividing into nine parts, enveloping his entire body within.
Two extremely fierce attacks flew towards him, striking the Mystic Turtle Shield's defense, and were instantly blocked.
This scene startled both Meng Xinghe and Huang Kui, who had launched the attacks.
Although they hadn't used their artifacts just now, they were prepared for a battle of spells, and their magical power was fully circulating.
This strike was their full-power attack.
Yet, their combined strike was directly blocked by the treasure of this cultivator.
They were astonished, and the three from the Northern Frostland were even more so.
They were well aware of the strength of the two top elders from the two major sects of the Skylid Continent.
No one among them had the confidence to block Meng Xinghe and Huang Kui's joint attack under such rushed circumstances.
But Chu Ning had managed to block it.
What surprised them even more was that the defensive treasure on his body showed no signs of damage at all.
The protective shield was still intact.
Especially Fan Zeixian, who had previously fought with Chu Ning, couldn't help but sigh.
He remembered how Chu Ning had easily blocked his casual strike, forcing him to summon the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle.
Lu Xuedao also exchanged a glance with Chu Ning, seeing the complex emotions in each other's eyes.
"Could that strike just now have been from the Sacred Turtle?" Lu Xuedao thought.
Although their expressions didn't reveal much, both of them couldn't help feeling a bit discouraged.
Fan Zeixian and Lu Xuedao had these thoughts, but the other cultivators did not.
Meng Xinghe and Huang Kui saw that the man not only blocked their attack but was also about to ascend the stone steps.
Without hesitation, the two flew towards Chu Ning.
Dantai Ze closely followed the two, rushing out at the same time.
The other cultivators from Heaven's First Sect and Demon Vortex Sect quickly joined the pursuit.
In the blink of an eye, everyone flew towards Chu Ning in a swarm.
Chu Ning's face changed slightly as he had just felt the suppression of Essence Energy.
He raised his hands, and a blue-white lotus appeared in each palm.
Without hesitation, he swung his hands backwards.
Meng Xinghe and Huang Kui were about to fly to within two zhang of the stone steps.
"Boom!"
With a light shout from Chu Ning, the two Primordial Fire Lotuses suddenly exploded.
The massive green flame spirit waves swept towards the two Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators.
"What formidable power!"
Meng Xinghe and Huang Kui, despite being Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators, couldn't help but turn pale at the impact of the simultaneous explosion of the two Primordial Fire Lotuses.
Instinctively, they flew backwards and simultaneously activated their defensive shields.
Dantai Ze, who was closely following them, also felt the powerful force.
However, with two Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators blocking his path, he wasn't overly concerned.
But to his surprise, even Meng Xinghe and Huang Kui were sent flying backwards.
In an instant, they were behind him.
By the time Dantai Ze reacted, the shockwave from the Primordial Fire Lotuses had already reached him.
He didn't have time to dodge.
His face paled slightly, and Dantai Ze quickly activated an ancient artifact for defense.
However, the power of the Primordial Fire Lotuses was not so easily resisted.
Moreover, it was the simultaneous explosion of two Primordial Fire Lotuses.
Under the immense impact, the defense of Dantai Ze's ancient artifact was directly shattered.
"Not good!"
As the green flame spirit wave reached the ancient artifact, Dantai Ze reacted.
He wanted to fly backwards.
But he had clearly underestimated the power of the two Primordial Fire Lotuses.
In the next moment, the green flame swept over his body.
Dantai Ze's body was instantly annihilated!
His primordial spirit didn't even have time to escape from his body.
He disappeared without a trace.
The spot where Dantai Ze had been standing was now empty.
The circling green flames continued to surge forward.
The remaining nine Nascent Soul Cultivators all paled in shock.
Almost everyone flew backwards and then summoned their defensive artifacts to resist.
No one dared to take another step forward.
At this moment, Chu Ning was like a lone warrior holding the pass, unbreachable by a thousand foes!
