Chapter 958: The Golden Gale Formation, the Dragon Lions Awaken

"You despicable scum!"

Amidst a roar of fury, a vast expanse of golden light burst forth.

The golden light was sharp and lethal, brimming with boundless killing intent.

Upon closer inspection, it revealed itself to be a myriad of fine sand particles, blotting out the sky and instilling a sense of despair.

The Master of Hidden Sword Tower’s face paled as he summoned countless sword leaves from the scabbard on his back, forming a barrier of sword qi to block the assault.

However, upon contact with the sand, many of the sword leaves developed tiny holes, as if they had been gnawed by insects.

The Purple Cloak Marquis was faring no better, his body enveloped in a purple glow as he struggled to break free.

Under the golden light, the purple glow grew dimmer and more unstable.

At this moment, a brilliant blue light curtain rose from the ground, flowing over the two men and rising into the sky. It suddenly became as solid as steel, blocking the golden light from penetrating.

Before the palace gates, the old man whom the Golden Lion Emperor had seen earlier exclaimed upon seeing the blue light curtain, "The Vitreous Insect!"

He then erupted in fury, "Master Litian, you have overstepped your bounds!"

At the bronze gates, Master Litian laughed aloud, "Lion Elder, why so angry?"

Hearing this, the old man known as Lion Elder laughed bitterly, "You dare to invade the Yin-Yang Realm and slay my fellow disciples, and you ask why I am angry?"

Master Litian replied calmly, "If you willingly reveal the location of the Death Gate, this old man will spare your lives."

The words "Death Gate" hung in the air, and Lion Elder fell silent.

Master Litian frowned, just as the Master of Hidden Sword Tower and the Purple Cloak Marquis returned.

"Are you both alright?" Master Litian asked casually.

The Purple Cloak Marquis let out a sigh of relief, "No major issues. I didn’t expect the Furious Aspect Sage to be so powerful."

The Furious Aspect Sage was Lion Elder’s daoist name, more widely known in the Southern Frontier’s cultivation world than his real name.

Fan Wujiao, the Master of Hidden Sword Tower, felt a deep sense of empathy, especially as he looked at the tiny holes in his sword leaves, his face showing a pained expression.

These sword leaves were the result of his great effort and cost, painstakingly refined over time.

To his dismay, a single encounter had destroyed two-thirds of them.

Master Litian stated matter-of-factly, "Lion Elder is not only a renowned cultivator with many years of experience but also a former true disciple of a holy land. It’s no surprise that he can easily overpower you."

The Purple Cloak Marquis and Fan Wujiao exchanged glances, speechless.

Were the disciples of holy lands truly that formidable?

They considered themselves powerful figures in the outside world, excelling among their peers.

Yet, in terms of both cultivation and skills, they were thoroughly outmatched by Lion Elder.

The gap was significant.

"Enough!"

Behind them, a voice of relief sounded.

They turned to see Old Lady Hongye emerging from the warding arts’ glow.

She exhaled, her face showing signs of fatigue but more of joy.

"The warding arts of the Life and Death Gate are indeed different from those outside. Even a brief study has greatly benefited this old woman."

Master Litian, however, was not interested in this and asked directly, "Is the barrier complete?"

Barrier?

Upon hearing this term, Luo Chen’s heart stirred.

Restraints, warding arts, and barriers were a progressive relationship.

Restraints were the foundation of warding arts, and barriers were the advanced form of warding arts.

A large number of restraints combined to form warding arts, and the proper arrangement of warding arts created a barrier.

However, barriers were not common, as their setup was extremely complex and impractical in battle, typically used only within major sects.

There was one exception.

Many ancient cultivators’ relics, formed by the warding arts they set up in life, combined with the natural patterns of the surrounding environment over time, naturally evolved into barriers.

Thus, many secret realms were often referred to as "realms."

Earlier, Luo Chen had assumed Old Lady Hongye was setting up warding arts. Now, he saw that she had created a small barrier, completely enveloping the area around the bronze gate for a radius of three miles.

Old Lady Hongye smiled, "The Void Clarity Realm you gave me, I’ve studied for decades. Although time was short, I did not fail my mission. With this Void Clarity Realm, outsiders cannot enter, and those inside cannot leave!"

Upon hearing this, Master Litian’s face lit up.

"With this, the Yin-Yang Realm is a fish in a barrel. As long as you all help me open the Death Gate and enter the Netherworld where the great sage Yin-Yangzi ascended, this mission will be a resounding success!"

Hearing this, Meng Shen Tong frowned, "Why so complicated?"

Luo Chen also found it troublesome.

Creating a realm within a realm was one thing, but the idea of a Netherworld within the Yin-Yang Realm was another.

Did that mean they were currently in the Yang Realm?

Master Litian’s response confirmed Luo Chen’s thoughts.

"The resentment of a great being dragged into this situation is profound. If we hadn’t separated the two realms, how could the cultivators of the Life and Death Sect truly suppress the residual essence of such a powerful being?" Master Litian retorted.

Meng Shen tong was speechless.

"Let's go! Once I enter the Netherworld and find the insect formula, this mission will be a resounding success. All of your debts to me will be cleared!"

Master Litian waved his hand and strode forward.

Meng Shen tong asked curiously, "Do you know the direction?"

Master Litian replied confidently, "I naturally don’t, after all, when I mistakenly entered the Yin-Yang Realm, I directly entered the Netherworld. But the Shadow Chasing Ants I carefully modified have given some clues. I’ve narrowed it down to three places that might be the Death Gate."

Meng Shen tong was enlightened.

He had noticed that the earlier flying ants were very similar to the Soul Chasing Ants.

It turned out this old man had modified them.

Shadow Chasing?

Quite fitting indeed!

Just as everyone was about to set off, the ground suddenly began to tremble.

Yellow winds rolled in from all directions.

Seeing this, Master Litian was furious. "How dare you! I haven’t come to trouble you, and you dare to act first?"

To Luo Chen, this voice sounded very close but also incredibly distant.

It seemed both near and far.

His expression changed, and he took a step forward, intending to get closer to Master Litian.

But after one step, the yellow winds continued to roll, and he saw no one.

"Is this the work of the Lion Elder?"

Luo Chen furrowed his brow and swept his fingers over his eyes.

Activate!

Red eyes with golden irises appeared, illuminating the Netherworld.

But what he saw was empty.

Luo Chen opened his mouth, suddenly realizing something.

"Thousand Miles in a Step, teleportation technique!"

Clearly, the cultivators of the Golden Lion Empire, who had been entrenched in the Yin-Yang Realm for years, hadn’t been idle.

They had even set up a powerful teleportation ward on this land, capable of forcibly moving people without their guard.

But if so, wouldn’t everyone be separated?

Recalling the Lion Elder’s attitude earlier, Luo Chen felt a chill.

"Teleport and scatter, then pick them off one by one!"

For a moment, he looked around, feeling a sense of unease, as if the rolling yellow winds were filled with cold, watchful eyes.

...

Inside a towering palace.

The Lion Elder and another elderly man in luxurious robes stood before a bronze mirror, both with grim expressions.

"The fourth elder is dead, the third and fifth elders are trapped outside. Now, only you and I remain in the Yin-Yang Realm. I’ve used the teleportation technique to forcibly separate them, but this method can only last for seven days. After seven days, the Golden Gale Formation will collapse on its own, and they will surely find a way to regroup quickly. So, we have only seven days. Second Elder, what are your plans?"

"Either we open the Death Gate and hide in the Netherworld, or we pick them off one by one." The Second Ancestor of Golden Lion gave the expected answer.

But the Lion Elder immediately rejected the first suggestion.

"The Death Gate cannot be opened. Times are different now; the Life Gate and the Death Gate are interconnected. With our sect’s main gate closed, opening the Death Gate would expose a weakness in the Life Gate. Moreover, that old Master Litian is clearly heading for the Netherworld behind the Death Gate. Once the Death Gate is opened, the commotion will be too great, and he will surely follow the sound."

"Then we kill them?" The Second Ancestor of Golden Lion hesitated.

The Lion Elder countered, "Isn’t that our duty? To suppress the Yin-Yang Realm and prevent outsiders from stealing the research of Elder Yin-Yangzi."

The Second Ancestor was somewhat worried, "But those seven are not easy to deal with!"

Indeed, they were not easy to deal with.

Master Litian had too much prestige and influence in the Southern Frontier.

In ordinary secret realm explorations, only a few Nascent Soul cultivators would usually enter, and even Hua Shen secret realms were too dangerous for Nascent Souls.

But Master Litian, through favors, deals, and various inducements, had forcibly assembled a luxurious team of three Great Cultivators, three Mid-stage Nascent Souls, and one Body Refinement expert.

None of them were simple.

The Lion Elder asked, "Don’t you want to avenge the fourth elder?"

The Second Ancestor of Golden Lion fell silent.

They called each other brothers and sisters, but they were not blood-related.

All from the Life and Death Sect, their relationships had their good and bad sides.

He and the fourth elder didn’t have much of a relationship.

"Never mind, Master Litian, Meng Shen tong, and Red Leaf, you don’t need to deal with them; leave them to me. Of the remaining four, you must eliminate them one by one, quickly and without delay."

"Very well", the Second Ancestor of Golden Lion said, showing a hint of interest. After all, he was a mid-stage Nascent Soul realm cultivator from a sacred land, and he had no fear of facing someone of the same realm. However, he couldn't help but ask, "Dividing our forces weakens us. Why not join forces and attack together?"

"Ridiculous. Don't you know that Elder Yuli's Golden Gale Formation only allows one person to occupy a single space? We can force our way in using warding arts, but only one person can enter", Lion Elder scolded.

The Second Ancestor of Golden Lion suddenly understood and immediately thought of something. "Then I request the assistance of the Heartening Golden Dragon Lions!"

Lion Elder looked at the Second Ancestor, feeling helpless.

This Second Ancestor was truly cautious and afraid of death!

Despite his considerable strength, he was unwilling to take risks.

He nodded. "That's acceptable. With the assistance of the Golden Dragon Lions, we can achieve a swift victory!"

The Second Ancestor of Golden Lion was elated!

He was already not weaker than those four people, and with the help of the Golden Dragon Lions, he could even challenge a Great Cultivator.

"Let's act soon, before they adapt to the Golden Gale Formation", Lion Elder urged.

"Agreed", the Second Ancestor nodded. Before setting out, he casually asked, "Who do you plan to deal with first?"

Lion Elder's face was filled with anger. "Naturally, that traitor, Master Litian!"

...

Amidst the rolling golden gales, a black figure walked alone.

Luo Chen's crimson eyes, which had previously glowed with golden light, remained closed.

He had discovered that within the Golden Gale Formation, using his spiritual eyes for too long caused intense pain, making his eyes water uncontrollably.

It was like being blinded by wind and sand.

Not only were his eye techniques affected, but even his divine senses could not expand beyond ten miles when he quietly tested them.

This abnormal situation put him on high alert.

Holding a satchel in his left hand, Luo Chen marveled at its power.

Master Litian's insect cultivation techniques were truly remarkable.

In a place where his vision and divine senses were limited, the Hundred Thoughts Satchel not only refreshed his mind but also provided a subtle connection.

He was now following this subtle connection, moving closer to Master Litian and the others.

The Yin-Yang Realm was divided into the mortal world and the Netherworld.

Luo Chen had yet to see what the Netherworld was like, but the mortal world was vast.

To safely meet up with everyone, it would take at least three to five days.

And how to ensure his safety?

Luo Chen's ears suddenly perked up!

The sound of sand falling could be heard in the wind.

While this wasn't unusual, there was also a low, threatening growl, faint but distinct.

"What is that?"

Luo Chen looked up to see a hundred-foot-tall golden lion statue on the ground undergoing strange changes.

Sand fell, and golden light shimmered.

Suddenly!

The golden lion opened its eyes and fixed its gaze on Luo Chen.

The statue had come to life!

Luo Chen's expression changed slightly, and he slapped out a palm.

Boom!

The statue, which had just awakened, showed unexpected agility.

With a single roll, it dodged the palm strike.

Then, it stepped forward with an unstoppable momentum, charging at Luo Chen.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

As the Golden Dragon Lion ran faster, the golden gales seemed to assist it, creating a cloud beneath its feet, like a dream.

Luo Chen did not retreat, allowing the Golden Dragon Lion to charge right up to him.

Facing the claw that was about to strike, he leaped into the air and kicked out with the force of a thunderbolt.

Boom!

With just one kick, the previously mighty Golden Dragon Lion was struck hard.

Its massive body began to crumble like sand, eventually turning into a pile of stones.

"Just a hollow shell!"

Luo Chen shook his head, not taking it seriously.

But the next moment, his expression turned grim.

Because he heard the rumbling sound of running.

He didn't know how large the mortal world of the Yin-Yang Realm was, but he had seen at least a dozen Golden Dragon Lion statues when he first entered the gate.

Now, more and more of these statues were awakening and charging at him.

There was no way this was happening without someone controlling them.

"So, where is the true enemy?"

Luo Chen slowly rose into the sky, brushing his hands over his high crown. He took out two Lethal Golden Feathers and held them in his hands.

Looking down at the dozens of Golden Dragon Lions surrounding him from all sides, his face was filled with determination.

He swung his hands!

Snap!

Snap!

The void exploded, and the Lethal Golden Feathers extended, transforming into two long whips.

"I will kill all these fools, and you will show yourself!" (End of Chapter)
