Chapter 343: Sinful Obstacle, Sinful Disciple? A High-Level Expert is Above

Five Elements World.

As the Evil Qi Tide descended once again, it caught the major powers of the Five Elements World off guard.

Even though they kept comforting themselves that the next time, in the next Secret Realm they investigated, they would surely discover traces of that mysterious person.

They still had to, after seeing the pitch-black Space Crack appear in the sky—a crack visible even to mortals standing on the ground.

Aside from a few old monsters with no sect or family ties who were still persisting in searching for Su Ping.

The remaining Great Ability cultivators sighed, hurriedly returning to defend their respective sectors to prevent the ley lines from falling, buying time for the strongest among them to cooperate with the Five Elements World's World Consciousness to repair the Space Crack.

However, it was different from the previous few times.

The Space Crack opened this time was particularly troublesome.

Several Return to Void Great Ability cultivators joined forces with their respective sect Artifacts, utilizing the advantages of time and location to suppress the opponent's cultivation, yet they still ended up in a stalemate with the children of the Evil God inside the crack, falling into a deadlock.

This caused several big shots who understood that there were distinctions in strength among the children of the Evil God to feel a shock in their hearts and secretly think, "This is bad."

It seemed that their Small Thousand World had been targeted by a high-ranking child of the Evil God.

Those who had originally intended to hold something back had to recall the Avatars they had sent out to various places, going all out to deal with the invading enemy.

Heaven and Earth Five Elements Sect, the headquarters of the Mu Family.

The Verdant Heaven-Swallowing Tiger, acting as the guardian beast of the Mu Family, was squinting its eyes as it looked at the distinguished guest descending from the sky not far away.

This distinguished guest was a white flood dragon one hundred meters in length.

This white flood dragon should have looked incomparably majestic.

But the eerie phantom tentacles emerging on its scales ruined its majestic image.

Instead, it gave one the illusion of it being a fallen, filthy thing.

After the white flood dragon approached within one hundred meters of the Verdant Heaven-Swallowing Tiger and was forced to stop by the resistance of spiritual light.

It opened its mouth and spat out a Jade Slip.

Once the Verdant Heaven-Swallowing Tiger scanned this Jade Slip with its Divine Sense, it learned the contents inside.

It was shockingly a Secret Technique for using Evil Qi to strengthen oneself.

"Is this the method the Dragon Raising Garden came up with?"

"Actively devouring Evil Qi to strengthen the physical body, and using a Secret Technique to sever the Divine Soul to ensure it remains unaffected."

"Hmph, how could the Divine Soul not be affected! Look at this Five Elements World, shifting—"

The Verdant Heaven-Swallowing Tiger scanned the white flood dragon with its Divine Sense, its tone turning unfriendly.

"Cackle, cackle, cackle, don't be so sensitive just because you sense the power of Evil Qi."

The white flood dragon was not afraid of the Verdant Heaven-Swallowing Tiger, even though the other party could destroy it with a single glare.

"The benefits of Evil Qi, you'll know how useful it is once you try it just once."

The white flood dragon paused and continued slowly:

"Also, I want to correct one thing: the Dragon Raising Garden has been struck from the records as of today."

"We are the Five-Colored Dragon Sect!"

Hearing this, the Verdant Heaven-Swallowing Tiger raised its brows.

It had originally thought that those cultivators in the Dragon Raising Garden had gone mad.

Now it seemed that it was the Spirit Beasts raised by those cultivators that had gone mad.

Five-Colored Dragon Sect... it seems the five-colored flood dragons of the Dragon Raising Garden have all successfully rebelled.

Wait!

The Verdant Heaven-Swallowing Tiger suddenly understood the hidden meaning behind the other party's words.

"After devouring Evil Qi, one can break free from a Bloodline Contract?"

The Verdant Heaven-Swallowing Tiger was startled for a moment; upon realizing this, it silently mourned for those sects in the Five Elements World that relied on Spirit Beasts as their main combat force.

These sects were actually mainly there to act as subordinates for the larger sects.

The Spirit Beasts they cultivated mainly came from various Lower Realms.

The numbers were too high, and they were also required to have their blood drawn and skin peeled from time to time to supply the needs of the upper sects.

Naturally, they could not do what the Mu Family did for the Verdant Heaven-Swallowing Tiger, which was to care for and cultivate it meticulously from a young age, and to prioritize mutual help and benefit after it grew up.

With the massive appearance of Evil Qi, coupled with the spread of those Special Secret Techniques.

The guardian Spirit Beasts of those sects would likely rebel without the slightest hesitation.

Even the Verdant Heaven-Swallowing Tiger itself.

If it weren't for the fact that as a Return to Void Spirit Beast, it instinctively felt that the Evil Qi Secret Techniques had huge hidden dangers.

It actually wouldn't have minded quietly dissolving those few Bloodline Contracts within its body.

"Those with different Daos do not conspire together."

"This venerable one is different from you all, but... as long as you don't come to this place, this venerable one won't cause you trouble."

The Verdant Heaven-Swallowing Tiger thought for a moment and gave its refusal.

The white flood dragon did not mind; its purpose in coming here was only to give the Verdant Heaven-Swallowing Tiger the Evil Qi Secret Technique and bury a seed in its heart.

It believed that as this world gradually underwent great changes, the Verdant Heaven-Swallowing Tiger would also recognize the situation and follow the path of their Five-Colored Dragon Sect.

After all, high-level Spirit Beasts understand high-level Spirit Beasts best!

The Verdant Heaven-Swallowing Tiger watched as the white flood dragon flew away with a cackling laugh.

Then, just as the Verdant Heaven-Swallowing Tiger was about to return to seclusion, its body suddenly trembled slightly.

Its gaze turned somewhat strange as it looked toward the foot of the mountain.

At the Mu Family mountain gate at the foot of the mountain.

A figure descended from the sky.

He revealed a slender physique and the face of a middle-aged martial artist with a hint of dominance.

It was slightly different from what was in his memory.

Looking closely, one could still tell that this person was indeed Mu Cangtian, who was rumored to have defected to the Lower Realm Cultivator forces.

He is a sinner and a disgrace to the Mu Family!

After the gatekeeper of the mountain gate saw clearly who the visitor was.

He immediately shouted in great anger.

At the same time, he activated the gatekeeper's Array authority, mobilizing a portion of the mountain gate's power to bolster himself.

In the blink of an eye, this gatekeeper, who was only at the Yuan Ying stage, had already manifested a Nine-Tooth Giant Elephant Dharma Image of the Transformation Realm.

He then raised his elephant leg and trampled toward Mu Cangtian, who looked like an ant compared to the giant elephant.

Seeing this, Mu Cangtian flashed his figure.

He broke free from the lock of the giant elephant Dharma Image before the gatekeeper's wide-eyed, terrified gaze, and appeared right in front of him.

Then, his face was directly grabbed by the opponent's large hand.

The next instant, the gatekeeper's entire body was entangled by Nether Yin Qi.

His original connection to the mountain gate Array was also severed.

Then, the man's eyes rolled back to white, and he fainted.

He threw the gatekeeper to the side as if he were trash.

Mu Cangtian then stepped into the Mu Family mountain gate.

Once inside the mountain gate, the surrounding scenery immediately underwent a earth-shaking change.

The mountain peaks had grown much larger, and in the vast expanded space, there were pavilions and towers, and a forest garden planted with a large number of spirit trees.

Even higher up in the sky, there were several floating small islands hovering in mid-air.

"Audacious evildoer!"

"You actually still dare to come to the Mu Family!"

After a few breaths.

The Mu Family's resident Elder led the law enforcement team down the mountain to capture Mu Cangtian.

As soon as the two sides met.

The Elder immediately unleashed his Dharma Image and attacked with full force.

Around the mountain peaks, countless Mu Family members were watching this scene with curiosity at this moment.

Out of trust in the strength of the Mu Family's main branch.

Everyone had the mentality of watching a show and seeing the excitement, and secretly felt that Mu Cangtian must be crazy to come here alone.

Then.

They only felt a earth-shaking vibration and a loud noise coming from below.

The Mu Family members watched in a daze as the Elder, who was almost omnipotent in their eyes, charged over while controlling his Dharma Image.

His charging posture was very standard, and his momentum was also very sufficient.

Behind him, the Mu Family Elite disciples also coordinated tacitly, lining up to attack and seal the opponent's retreat.

However, the Elder ran into that rebellious Mu Cangtian.

Then everyone only felt a burst of afterimages and a large number of air shockwaves generated by sonic booms sweeping across the surroundings.

The Elder was grabbed by the neck and hung on Mu Cangtian's right side.

Looking from afar, he looked like a dead dog...

As for those Elite disciples, they all collapsed to the ground, no longer having any combat power.

"Re... rebellious disciple, how did you become so powerful!"

In the air, several more Elder-generation Cultivators flew over rapidly.

Looking at Mu Cangtian, their expressions were all somewhat panicked.

Under Su Ping's control, Mu Cangtian did not answer the questions of these elders.

He was now one of the Nether Generals.

Moreover, before the expedition, he had received the blessing of the fox-masked Shrine Maiden.

Not only had his strength greatly increased compared to before, but he also possessed Nether supernatural powers that, like Evil Qi, restrained the ordinary supernatural powers and techniques of these Cultivators.

Unless a Return to Void Great Ability took action personally.

Otherwise, these Yuan Ying and Transformation Realm Mu Family Cultivators.

Were all no match for Mu Cangtian.

And as Mu Cangtian did not answer the questions, but instead chose to attack the elders in the air.

With one punch he shattered the spirit light shield, and with both hands he tore apart the opponent's Turtle Shell Spirit Treasure.

It only took a dozen breaths for him to beat all the supporting Mu Family Cultivators to the ground.

At this, the breathing of the surrounding Mu Family members became rapid.

On the mountaintop, the first reaction of the several Elders watching all this was to activate the mountain gate Array and use the power of the Array to destroy Mu Cangtian.

Only after calming down slightly, they had a few more thoughts about Mu Cangtian.

Mu Cangtian was, after all, also a member of their Mu Family.

In a sense, the opponent had mastered clearly unusual and magical powers.

This was a great thing for the Mu Family!

Especially now in the Five Elements World, the situation was becoming increasingly worse and decaying.

They could also see a glimpse of that black crack in the sky from far away.

The strange change in Mu Cangtian... perhaps represents an opportunity.

While they hesitated, Mu Cangtian fought from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.

Then, sweeping through those guardian puppets all the way from the mountainside, he arrived at the summit.

The Elders ultimately did not activate the Array.

Instead, they waited together for Mu Cangtian to arrive.

Of course, they were not just waiting idly; they had also invited the Green Heaven-Swallowing Tiger out to hold the fort.

And the Green Heaven-Swallowing Tiger was also quite curious about Mu Cangtian's current state.

After readily agreeing, it took the initiative to lie down on the summit's martial arts practice field, looking on with the Elders at Mu Cangtian, who was walking up with vigorous strides toward the morning sun.

In each of Mu Cangtian's hands, he gripped an Elder who looked like a dead dog.

Fortunately, these few Elders were all still alive.

Clearly, the other party did not intend to completely burn bridges with the Mu Family; this was a good thing!

"Mu Cangtian!"

The lead Elder no longer mentioned anything about a wicked obstacle or a wicked disciple.

In their eyes, Mu Cangtian already possessed the value to make the Mu Family let bygones be bygones.

"Except for the old clan leader and others who are resisting the great catastrophe with the Sect Master, those who can make decisions for the Mu Family are all here."

"Speak, what do you want to do by suddenly coming here at this time?"

Mu Cangtian scanned the surroundings, then looked at the huge martial arts practice field located at the entrance of the summit, and nodded slightly.

With Su Ping's experience in Arrays, he could almost confirm that one of the main nodes of this Mu Family's great Array was right here in this practice field.

When fully operational, this practice field should trigger a large number of small Arrays, accommodating Mu Family disciples to enter and become tools.

Hmm, by borrowing Mu Cangtian's identity, he could directly enter the location of this key node without breaking the Array.

This mission could already be considered more than half complete.

After all, under normal circumstances, the Mu Family's Array is a fifth-tier Array, and there is a Green Heaven-Swallowing Tiger sitting in command.

Without using the Heaven-Turning Seal, I fear it would be difficult to break through in a short while.

And not to mention that using the Heaven-Turning Seal causes too much of a stir, the resources consumed are better saved until the great cosmic development begins.

After all, there are still so many children of evil gods outside waiting to eat my Heaven-Turning Seal's world-breaking strike!

"This seat has come here with only one intention!"

"And that is..."

"To make everything of this Mu Family belong to this seat!"

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, the Elders were terrified.

The Green Heaven-Swallowing Tiger also trembled slightly, then condensed its divine sense and rushed toward Mu Cangtian.

But it did not expect Mu Cangtian to smile slightly at this, abruptly letting go of his mental defenses.

Allowing the Green Heaven-Swallowing Tiger to instantly see the memory fragments of Mu Cangtian becoming a Blood God Avatar.

It saw the scenes of the Netherworld.

It saw the Primordial Spirit phantom of Su Ping, who was already a Nether Immortal Body.

It saw the Huijuan that Su Ping's Primordial Spirit phantom unfolded toward it.

That Huijuan contained memory fragments of the Lord of Shadows, one of the Abyss Seven Lords.

Just one glance.

"Ah!"

The Green Heaven-Swallowing Tiger was so frightened that it immediately turned into a streak of light and retreated back to its own Cave Abode.

And left behind a cry:

"He is not Mu Cangtian!"

The Elders' expressions changed slightly, and they exclaimed one after another:

"Not good, quickly activate the Array!"

Unfortunately, it was already too late at this moment.

Mu Cangtian's Nether Yin Qi sank into the ground along his feet.

It had long since polluted the Array node beneath the martial arts practice field.

Causing the mountain gate Array to be successfully activated, yet its power was less than one-tenth of its original!

And with the activation of the Teleportation Talisman.

Su Ping, wearing a silver-white mask and dressed in a cyan Daoist robe, appeared above Mu Cangtian in an instant.

And with a light wave of his hand.

He caused the four Demon Emperors and hundreds of Golden Core Spirit Beasts transformed into Nether Generals to appear in the Mu Family's sky.

There were also Valkyrie Kong and Shui Zhi Ji Si Getiya assisting from the side.

Valkyrie Kong has Space Talent and can find the Mu Family's Secret Realm Cave Heaven.

Shui Zhi Ji Si Getiya is a powerful support; once the Lake Light Domain is opened, it is an unreasonable group buff.

Although dealing with a Mu Family in this way is clearly too luxurious a lineup.

But a lion hunting a rabbit still uses its full strength!

To be safe, Su Ping felt it was better to be cautious.

"Roar!"

Inside the Mu Family's Green Heaven-Swallowing Tiger's Cave Abode.

The Emerald Heaven-Swallowing Tiger that had fled back, even after sealing its own memories, remained shaken.

The stronger one is, the more one fears the corruption of the Abyss Monarch from the bottom of one's heart.

The Emerald Heaven-Swallowing Tiger checked itself multiple times to confirm that neither its physical body nor its Divine Soul had undergone any mutation.

Only then did its heart settle slightly, followed by a burning rage.

It then rushed out of the Cave Abode again, wanting to tear into pieces the person who dared to scheme against it and make it watch such dangerous content!

However.

As the Emerald Heaven-Swallowing Tiger returned to the edge of the martial arts arena, it had to stop abruptly and reveal its body.

It raised its three heads.

It saw a Yuanling of yin energy ahead, as if the Underworld Realm had descended.

And it saw in the air a black true dragon, an armored white ape, a semi-transparent, seemingly illusory giant snake, and a bull-headed giant that seemed to stand between heaven and earth.

Seemingly sensing its arrival, they all stopped what they were doing and turned their heads in unison to stare over.

The Emerald Heaven-Swallowing Tiger could feel that the cultivation realm of the four Demon Emperors before it should be one major realm lower than its own.

However.

The dangerous aura they displayed.

Made the Emerald Heaven-Swallowing Tiger feel as if it had encountered four ancient fierce beasts with strength not inferior to the old patriarch looking at it.

The Emerald Heaven-Swallowing Tiger's pupils constricted slightly.

The previous rage, unknowingly, had already dissipated by more than half.
