Chapter 585: The Power Unveiled
Chapter 585: The Power Unveiled
"Do you sense it?" Huang Wenfa stood outside the sacred ground, his expression gradually turning solemn.
As the leader of the Mountain-Shifting Sect, although he didn't share the same disdain as his disciples for Nan Hong, considering them as mere barbarians, he couldn't help but feel a hint of arrogance.
After all, with the close interactions among the remaining three Hongs, their exposure to the world had broadened, naturally raising their standards.
It was only after meeting Shen Zongzhuang that Huang Wenfa changed his mind, but even then, it was only regarding Shen Yi.
But after coming here in person, he realized that things were not as he had imagined.
So many powerful demons had gathered in Nan Hong, yet as of today, they hadn't received any news of unrest. It was as if these demons had mysteriously vanished after entering Nan Hong.
Even in the face of such a terrifying situation, the Seven Sons of Nan Hong seemed to have an even deeper foundation than he had anticipated.
Moreover, within a short period, a Celestial Realm cultivator had fallen, yet Nan Hong's surface remained calm, which was simply absurd.
The more Huang Wenfa observed the waters before him, the more unfathomable they seemed.
Shen Zongzhuang's only arrangement for them was to watch for any unexpected occurrences and act as a forward scout, preventing any other demons from entering.
Huang Wenfa initially felt a bit uncomfortable, thinking that he was being taken lightly. Although he might not be as exceptional as Shen Zongzhuang, he still had some strength to rely on. He had specifically brought Elder Cheng along, not to simply go through the motions, but to genuinely offer assistance. He never thought he would be unable to fight against demons.
Now, however, he was reconsidering his thoughts.
Being a good "forward scout" didn't seem as easy as he had imagined.
The faintly stirring aura from the depths of the water was quite intimidating.
"I'll go inform Shen Zongzhuang."
Cheng Xiaoyuan shifted his gaze from the waters, having heard many tales about Shen Yi from Huang Wenfa, but he had never seen him in person.
To be honest, he didn't think Shen Zongzhuang would do much even if he knew about this. Most likely, he would just ignore it.
But all of this had nothing to do with him.
In such a situation, he only needed to follow the instructions given, and the rest was beyond the scope of what the Mountain-Shifting Sect could handle. It was better to leave the headache to the Seven Sons of Nan Hong.
Cheng Xiaoyuan reached out to retrieve a jade slip, preparing to contact Shen Yi, when he heard a familiar young voice coming from the jade slip first.
"I'd like to trouble you two for a moment."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt tense.
What did this mean? Were they expected to fight against a Celestial Realm demon, risking their lives? That was a bit too much.
If Shen Yi really asked, given Huang Wenfa's character, he would most likely not refuse.
However, the voice from the jade slip didn't give him much time to consider, as it spoke straightforwardly, "Please use the Mountain-Stabilizing Technique to block the celestial phenomenon within the Nan Hong domain. Try to prevent it from spreading too far into Western Hong."
"Ah?"
Cheng Xiaoyuan was taken aback, not quite processing what he had heard.
What celestial phenomenon?
Huang Wenfa also heard the voice from the jade slip and stood in a daze for a few breaths before his face changed, and he shouted towards the distant Treasure Flower Sect Master, "Fellow Daoist! Hurry back to the sacred ground, don't get caught in the crossfire!"
The abrupt words left the Treasure Flower Sect Master bewildered, but she instinctively obeyed, her figure swiftly moving towards the sacred ground.
"What do you mean?" Cheng Xiaoyuan asked, his eyes filled with uncertainty.
Huang Wenfa didn't intend to explain; instead, he stared intently at the waters beneath him. Based on his understanding of Shen Zongzhuang, this request alone suggested that he would witness something extraordinary today.
As if to validate Huang Wenfa's guess, in an instant, the azure sea and sky seemed to freeze, as if even the air had solidified, making it hard to breathe. It was as if an invisible giant hand had descended from the heavens, forcefully breaking through the water's surface, creating a massive wave and a deep chasm in the middle of the waters for several thousand miles. Then, the invisible hand clenched downward, and within a few breaths, two furious dragon roars echoed through the clouds.
Roar—
The moment the dragon roars sounded, even the Treasure Flower Sect Master couldn't help but turn back in shock.
She was all too familiar with one of those dragon roars.
During the days when the South Dragon King was still asleep, the owner of that voice was the true ruler of all of Nan Hong, under whose might both demons and cultivators could only survive in fear.
How could the Crown Prince of the South Dragon Palace suddenly appear at the border between Southwest and Nan Hong?! What was even more incomprehensible was that someone had taken such decisive action against the Prince without even a word!
In fact, Huang Wenfa didn't need to say more; just from this familiar cultivation technique, Cheng Xiaoyuan had a rough guess about the newcomer's identity.
He just never imagined that Shen Zongzhuang's strength would be so formidable, even surpassing Huang Wenfa's exaggerated praise.
He had initially thought that the praise was over the top, but now it seemed quite modest.
"You dare to challenge my vision!"
A Jade Horn Silver Dragon, larger than any of its kin, soared into the sky, stirring up the clouds and wind. It extended its dragon claws and roared deafeningly, "Do you know who I am?"
Another Yellow Poison Dragon coiled in the air, its eyes coldly fixated on the front.
After a moment, its voice rasped, deep and filled with endless malice, "Nanyang Sect Master, you're quite the show-off."
This familiar tactic had left a deep impression on it during the banquet.
The two Dragon Princes clearly understood the current situation in Nan Hong. The defeat was certain, but this didn't mean they thought they would die here. They were merely avoiding the sharp edge for now, not yet at the point of fleeing for their lives.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so careless with their breath concealment, allowing the two Earth Realm Cultivators from the Mountain-Shifting Sect to detect their presence.
It's unwise to pursue a desperate enemy, as they might resort to desperate measures!
Upon hearing these words, the Treasure Flower Sect Master was stunned once again, beginning to doubt her own ears.
Nanyang... Sect Master.
Could the terrifying commotion just now be the handiwork of that young man?
The next moment, a tall and slender figure emerged from the clear blue sky, with black clouds spreading across the sky, quickly darkening the entire sky.
At the edge of the clouds, a tall figure strolled out, standing calmly in front of the two Dragon Demons, blocking their path to the Western Flood.
"..."
Shen Yi didn't say a word, but his mere presence caused Qi Zhaoyi's eyelids to twitch slightly, not out of fear, but from a surge of frustration and anger.
As the legitimate firstborn of the Western Dragon Palace, though without the title of Crown Prince, anyone who saw him would address him as Dragon Lord.
Yet now, on his way back to the palace, he was blocked so brazenly, and the other party's posture seemed to suggest a desire to kill both of them.
The young man's calm gaze was like the one he had at the banquet when he watched the waste being forcefully held down and slaughtered.
Such arrogance from a junior!
"You came alone, so you're not here to fight to the death. What do you want to talk about?" Cole Family Prince noticed the absence of Ye Jiu or Ji Jing Xi nearby, finally calming down. He slightly raised his head and looked over carefully.
Based on his understanding of the Nanyang Sect Master, the other party was definitely not reckless enough to rush to his death. He must have a solid plan to escape.
Therefore, the Cole Family Prince also retracted his killing intent.
In his current situation, he could chat with anyone, even the Sect Masters of the Seven Sons of Nan Hong.
However, the next moment, the Cole Family Prince's expression froze, and the coldness in his eyes almost overflowed.
Shen Yi stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the two Dragon Demons. Finally, he spoke softly, "Who's first?"
Before the two stunned Dragon Princes could respond, he shook his head slightly, "Never mind, together then."
The clear voice, coupled with his composed demeanor, for some reason, made everyone present feel a strong sense of ridicule and mockery.
Huang Wenfa opened his mouth, even feeling that Shen Zongzhuang seemed a bit unfamiliar.
Was this how he acted in Nan Hong? When they were in the Western Flood, they thought this young Sect Master was too arrogant, but it turned out he had been deliberately restraining himself.
"This..."
The Treasure Flower Sect Master also forgot about returning to her sacred ground, staring blankly at the sky.
For some reason, she suddenly saw the shadow of another person in this young man—equally invincible, equally nonchalant.
It was just that when Xuan Qing faced the Hongze Heaven's Talents, Shen Zongzhuang faced... the older generation of Heaven Realm experts who had been renowned in Hongze for a long time! The gap between them was like the difference between clouds and mud.
Even the onlookers reacted this way, let alone the two Dragon Princes who heard these words.
Qi Zhaoyi's dragon body slowly circled in the sky, but the quietly extended front claws and the increasingly glaring jade horn on his forehead almost revealed his temporary decision to stay in Nan Hong.
At least before leaving, he needed to dispel the growing restlessness in his heart.
The Cole Family Prince once again carefully scanned the surroundings to ensure it wasn't a trap, then shifted his gaze back to Shen Yi, saying with a hint of emotion, "Perhaps this is the tradition of the Nanyang Sect."
"You always give your allies hope, only to snuff it out with your own hands."
As his words fell, the Yellow Poison Dragon's body erupted with sharp spikes, as if vicious bones were piercing through the flesh. Thick dragon arms burst with intense malice, fiercely smashing towards the figure in front!
"..."
Watching the terrifying giant shadow approaching, Shen Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The time was too rushed to summon Ke Shi from the Nanyang Sacred Ground, and it was too close to the Western Flood. If he were to release the recently fallen Cold Mountain Ancestor, it might raise suspicions.
Although he had mastered a true divine ability and entered the Heaven Realm, he was only in the early stage.
With the support of various spell formulas, Shen Yi was confident in fighting two opponents, but ensuring that both Dragon Demons would perish in Nan Hong might be challenging.
So, he must first make these two Dragon Princes abandon the idea of escaping with all their might.
It seemed to be working quite well.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi exhaled softly, and the next moment, he clenched his fingers tightly, and the sky, shrouded in thick black clouds, began to distort.
As his sleeves fluttered, his fist burst forth like a collapsing mountain!
Boom—
In front of this fist, the huge dragon claws, the venomous mist, suddenly scattered.
The Cole Family Prince felt the immense force transmitted through his claws, his face changing drastically. He felt as if the entire world was resisting him, and the surging demon power, which he was so proud of, had reached its peak, but he still couldn't push the dragon claws down by half an inch.
Even... even he felt like he was about to be thrown away.
If Shen Yi had this kind of strength, why did he need to use those unnecessary means when facing his younger brother?
Just as the Cole Family Prince sensed something amiss.
Shen Yi shifted his gaze to the other side and raised his other hand, loosely clenching his fingers.
This subtle movement caused the Jade Horn Silver Dragon to struggle violently, and then it was forcefully pulled over by an invisible giant hand!
"I said, come together."
Shen Yi's calm voice echoed in the ears of the two dragon demons, and this unconcealed contempt finally dispelled their last shred of doubt.
"Brat! Are you too full of yourself with your immortal technique?"
Qi Zhaoyi stabilized his body, and the jade horn on his head emitted a brilliant glow, tearing through the restraint of the invisible giant hand with unstoppable force.
Although the immortal technique was powerful, it wasn't to this absurd extent.
Even in a one-on-one fight, it was uncertain if he could defeat either of them, let alone facing both at the same time.
Even at the same realm, the Dragon Palace descendant, after being cleansed by countless heavenly treasures and with their inherently formidable bloodline, was far superior to others.
"Something's not right..."
Huang Wenfa's face suddenly turned grim. Although he hadn't cultivated the Divine Mountain Calming Heaven Art, he was familiar with the three split cultivation techniques.
Regardless, this was not a body tempering related technique.
Shen Zongzhu's actions, actively closing the distance with the two demons, seemed domineering, but it was definitely not a wise choice!
"He's provoking these two dragon demons."
Cheng Xiaoyuan realized something: "These two demons suddenly appearing here are most likely trying to seek reinforcements from Western Flood, and Shen Zongzhuang doesn't want them to leave, so he's resorting to this desperate measure..."
"But—"
Confusion filled Cheng Xiaoyuan's eyes: "What's the plan after provoking them?"
This move could indeed make the two dragon demons temporarily abandon the idea of leaving, after all, they were both mid-stage Celestial Realm great demons, and no one could bear such contempt.
The problem was, if his strength was insufficient, this would only make them more ferocious, even triggering their murderous intent, leading to a life-and-death struggle. Not only would they fail to keep them, but they might even lose their lives.
"Or is there backup coming?" Cheng Xiaoyuan looked down.
The Treasure Flower Sect Master's eyes twitched as he stared at the silent Dao Tablet in his hand. It was impossible; if the other three Celestial Realm experts were coming, they would definitely notify him in advance, allowing him to prepare and minimize the impact.
After all, with the relationship between the Treasure Flower Sect and the Seven Sons of Nan Hong, they wouldn't worry about him leaking secrets.
Unless... this was entirely Shen Zongzhu's decision, as only the Nanyang Sect Master didn't know how to contact the Treasure Flower Sect.
"It's over."
Cheng Xiaoyuan noticed the change in the Treasure Flower Sect Master's expression and could guess his thoughts.
He also saw the two soaring dragons, equally robust and massive, almost the strongest dragons in the Southwest Flood besides the Dragon King, now setting aside their differences and working together to attack that slender figure.
He couldn't imagine which cultivator could withstand such a terrifying attack at such close range!
And at that moment.
The dark clouds in the sky suddenly dissipated.
Logically, the sky should have brightened, but instead, the entire Azure Sea and sky became even darker, as if night had fallen.
Behind the dark clouds was an endless Dark Forest Mansion.
There were gurgling springs, drowning out the wails of the dead.
There was a broken bridge, with layers of shadows.
Unbeknownst to when, Shen Yi had disappeared from his original spot and appeared above this dark mansion, sitting high upon a lofty throne.
He wore a black robe, his palms slightly resting on the armrests, his gaze calm as he looked down upon the mortal world.
"..."
The two dragon demons pounced on empty air, then looked up in confusion, their eyes widening as they watched this massive object slam down!
In an instant, their minds were filled with a frenzied roar.
The Divine Mountain Calming Heaven Art was already a rare immortal technique.
And above the Azure Sky, there was the Supreme Nether Mansion!
