Chapter 340

Before Guanqi Pass, an invisible white mist suddenly enveloped the entire Daqian military camp.

The thick mist lingered, rapidly spreading in all directions, covering hundreds of miles.

The Three-Phase Ancestor of Guangyuan City immediately sensed the anomaly; his form transformed into a black light, appearing above the azure sky as he gazed toward the Daqian camp's direction.

"Ancestor, what is the Daqian court preparing to do?"

In an instant, two streaks of light appeared beside him, one male and one female!

On the right was an exceptionally alluring female cultivator, her body clad in sheer gauze that could not conceal her exquisite curves, her wondrous jade-like form faintly visible.

The other resembled an iron tower vajra, his physique gleaming with a gold-iron hue, exuding terrifying power, an ancient halberd slung across his back, his features rugged, his brow furrowed.

The Three-Phase Ancestor was shrouded in a vast expanse of invisible black mist, only faint white hair drifting from within, his face covered by a ferocious bat mask, his eyes glimmering with faint spectral light as he coldly laughed.

"What else do you intend? Naturally, to flee!"

The alluring woman smiled coyly: "At this point, you still want to run?!"

The Three-Phase Ancestor's expression remained unchanged, merely coldly laughing: "Jinling, you come up with a way to dispel this great mist!"

The alluring woman slightly nodded, her graceful, wondrous figure advancing slowly, like a supple willow in the wind.

She is Jinling Zhenren, the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Demonic Path from Huanhuan Valley; recently pressured by her sect, she had no choice but to seek refuge before the Three-Phase Ancestor, and now also needs an opportunity to prove her worth.

At that moment, with a wave of her hand, a golden treasure pearl appeared in her palm, surrounded by countless infinitesimally fine golden wind-sand, the golden wind-sand containing a unique power, countless grains of sand rotating against each other, as if each grain were surrounded by faintly jumping golden lightning, eroding the void.

This is an extremely effective Nascent Soul technique in her grasp.

"Gengjin Lei Ze Shen Feng!"

Strands of golden light burst from her hand as she prepared to activate the Calming Wind Pearl, but Jinling Zhenren suddenly hesitated.

Boom—!

Yet in the distance, a tremendous roaring sound suddenly erupted from the earth.

Behold, in the distance, a fierce earth-yellow light appeared, resembling a dragon plunging deep into the ground.

Amid the tremendous roaring, the plain before Guanqi Pass suddenly violently trembled; yellow light struck the earth, the ground splitting open hundreds of meters, still rapidly expanding, instantly forming a colossal ravine hundreds of kilometers long on the surface.

"Want to run? Dream on!"

Seeing this, the burly man beside, resembling an iron tower vajra, let out a ferocious grin, countless golden streams flowing around his body, instantly transforming into a streak of scorching golden light rushing toward the void.

Moreover, vast golden light poured from his hand onto the earth beneath his feet, turning the land into a gold-iron hue.

This is a temporary alteration of material structure, the power to turn earth into steel.

Above Guanqi Pass, Zhang Jian operated the Yellow Dragon Divine Light of the Five Dragons Method, condensing the Yellow Dragon to split the earth; at this moment, his vast Nascent Soul divine sense spread out, immediately sensing the incoming surge of Nascent Soul divine light.

"His entire body is suffused with Geng Metal attribute divine light; his flight escape light has an abnormal friction coefficient compared to ordinary people; preliminary judgment suggests he has cultivated a metal-attribute body-refining method, possessing a formidable physique akin to the Diamond Law Body; the best response is..."

Zhang Jian raised his hand and pointed; a straight golden light burst forth from his palm.

"Golden Crow Splitting Great Law!"

Behold, the golden light continuously expanded in the depths of the void, clusters of golden light constantly surging.

When this golden light reached before the iron tower burly man, like the nascent sun, terrifying crow cries rang out; the Golden Crow's sharp beak shot straight toward the man's celestial crown, the rings of golden light surrounding him violently trembling, the bright golden runes within the golden rings massively collapsing!

The iron tower burly man could not help but emit shrill, miserable screams.

The golden crow's golden light pierced straight into his Nascent Soul!

As Zhang Jian had anticipated, this giant is indeed a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Golden Diamond Sect, practicing the sect's Nine Turns Golden Demon Dao Body; this dharma body is extraordinarily tyrannical, when cultivated to completion, resembling a demon god born from the Geng Metal laws, possessing immense physique and an indestructible golden body.

Nascent Soul cultivators of the Golden Diamond Sect have always been renowned for close-quarters slaughter; once engaged in melee, few can escape their ferocious attacks.

Yet facing the terrifying Golden Crow true fire, he was like encountering his nemesis; in shock, he barely had time to summon his natal Nine Turns Golden Shield, instantly preventing the golden light from blasting him deep into the earth.

In the void, Zhang Jian glanced at the yellow-robed Daoist beside him and smiled: "Daoist Huanghe, you may also withdraw first; this place is left to me!"

"With me here, they cannot catch up!"

Zhang Jian's expression remained calm, yet his words conveyed an undeniable resolve!

Daoist Huanghe nodded at that moment; earlier, Zhang Jian had merely made a slight move, and he had already sensed that Zhang Jian's cultivation even surpassed his own; staying here would indeed be of little use.

He then transformed into a streak of yellow light, following the direction of the retreating expeditionary army.

In the void, the Three-Phase Ancestor swept his gaze across the void, a hint of chill appearing in his eyes; he waved his hand to stop Jinling Zhenren from advancing, speaking solemnly.

"You two cast spells to dispel the great mist and reseal the earth; you must not let Daqian's elite escape; this Nascent Soul before you is now entrusted to me, the Ancestor!"

As the Three-Phase Ancestor's words fell, his form vanished in an instant.

Void, Zhang Jian stood firm; in that moment, his keenly acute Nascent Soul divine sense sensed the disturbance in the void; the East Emperor Treasure Mirror manifested in the depths of his sea of consciousness, yet behold, a vast black net silently formed in the surrounding void without sound.

A black shadow resembled a black spider rapidly weaving a net of demonic infants.

Simultaneously, streaks of black light came from the void, enveloping the surrounding void.

The black light resembled a waterfall.

These were high-level aberrant demonic infants.

Zhang Jian had long dealt with Nascent Soul cultivators of the Demon Infant Sect, knowing their magic is strange and they excel at weaving nets to ensnare prey.

But he is no prey!

As he focused, a vast white light burst from the void around his body, visible to the naked eye as this layer of white light flowed; in the depths of the void, countless dense demonic infants were instantly devoured by countless white beams; looking closely, those countless white beams transformed into individual peculiar rebirth white holes.

This is the Minor Thousand Worlds Reincarnation Law Prohibition.

This terrifying Nascent Soul-level immortal law, when activated by Zhang Jian, emitted astonishing divine energy.

Yet behold, individual white holes formed, ultimately combining into three colossal Nascent Soul white holes enveloping the void; even the Three-Phase Ancestor, caught off guard, was dragged into the rebirth white holes, forced to use a treasure to seal his Nascent Soul, lest he be sucked away.

At this moment, within the white holes, the Three-Phase Ancestor's countenance became unusually grave; he clearly had not expected this Nascent Soul cultivator's cultivation to be in no way inferior to his own.

Simultaneously, Zhang Jian's gaze turned downward.

Yet behold, the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Golden Diamond Sect reappeared; with a wave of his hand, a gold-iron divine bridge appeared, spanning hundreds of meters across the fissure; the gate of Guangyuan City was already thronged with armies, banners fluttering, and moreover, a vast surge of dragon energy rolled in.

These dragon energies, as the troops approached, transformed into golden dragon forms, sweeping toward Zhang Jian.

This is an attempt to suppress him with Northern Chu dragon energy, creating a battle opportunity.

Zhang Jian's mouth curled into a faint smile, but unfortunately, this was precisely where he excelled most.

At this moment, he no longer intended to conceal his foundation.

Strands of fierce purple light burst forth all around him in an instant.

As if a purple sun had manifested!
