Chapter 387
The Void Beast possesses the ability to travel through the void freely from birth; one of its teeth refined into the supreme treasure, the Heavenly Kinship Shuttle, which can reduce the power of countless formations and, using the void laws inherent in it, find the eyes of most major formations—it can be said that the Void Beast Bone is one of the foundations of Reed Flame Valley's strength.
After the Reed Flame Valley Sect Master learned of an accident involving the Heavenly Kinship Shuttle, he specially sent Senior Disciple Yan Ling to the Primitive Realm to recall the shuttle in order to ensure the integrity of the Valley's Void Beast Bone.
The Heavenly Kinship Shuttle was ultimately recalled by the Void Beast Bone, which seemed to have discovered a new continent, damn it, wanting to run after the Supreme Clarity Sect's experts!
If the Void Beast Bone encounters any mishap in the Primitive Spiritual Realm, the Sect Master of Reed Flame Valley's Huanyu Main Branch will surely skin them alive.
"Junior Disciple Yan Ling, quickly think of some solutions; the Void Beast Bone must not encounter any accident." Situ Fang shouted, her heart pounding.
"Don't argue; if you keep arguing, you come over?"
Yan Ling was already agitated because the Void Beast Bone had broken free of his control; he constantly used the control method to communicate with it, but the murderous aura within the Void Beast Bone, having been worn away by the mysterious voice from the clear and translucent crystal ball, caused the beast's soul within the bone to have already revived.
The Void Beast Soul possesses independent self-awareness and has an irresistible allure for the Supreme Clarity Sect's experts; the summoning effect derived from the control method passed down by the Sect Master is utterly negligible against the Void Beast Bone.
What exactly is going on?
Why does the Void Beast Bone get so excited upon seeing the Supreme Clarity Sect's experts?
Yan Ling felt his heart clenched tightly, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, no longer retaining his former calm and ease, cold sweat pouring from his forehead.
Seeing this, cultivators from other sects twitched their faces involuntarily; events on the battlefield changed in an instant.
Reed Flame Valley originally used the Void Beast Bone to summon the Heavenly Kinship Shuttle intending to overwhelm the Supreme Clarity Sect's experts, but in an instant the Void Beast Bone tried to run away with them; its expression was like a runaway child who had just found his mother, and it was affectionately howling at the Supreme Clarity Sect's experts.
The experts of the Seven Great Sects had sharp light filling their eyes, their hearts unable to calm, and they were all cursing Reed Flame Valley for its mistakes.
The Heavenly Kinship Shuttle is formed from a tooth of the Void Beast Bone; its ability to counter formations is already heaven-defying. If the Supreme Clarity Sect's experts obtained the complete Void Beast Bone, all the formations set up by the Eight Great Sects' siege would be utterly useless.
"Is Reed Flame Valley trying to kill us?"
Beside the Wan Chief Officer of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, a cold voice spoke.
He had painstakingly placed his son Wu Yong into the team of Long Zhan Tian and others, helping them forge the Blaze Heaven Great Formation, so that after the formation succeeded in breaking the Supreme Clarity Sect's Myriad Soul Banner and earned merit, he could boost his son's standing in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
Now it's all gone to waste.
Even if the Blaze Heaven Great Formation is successfully cultivated by Long Zhan Tian and his companions, if the Supreme Clarity Sect inexplicably obtains Reed Flame Valley's Void Beast Bone, the formation will have no effect whatsoever.
For his son's sake, to navigate connections in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, he expended all his heavenly essence, which will now be wasted.
Wu Feng thought of this, killing intent surging in his eyes as he stared fixedly at Situ Fang.
He very much wanted to go over and directly beat Situ Fang up to vent his anger.
The Eight Great Sects' siege of the Supreme Clarity Sect was proposed by Reed Flame Valley, which keeps sending heavy treasures to the Sect—first the Heavenly Kinship Shuttle, then the Void Beast Bone.
Damn, the bigger the gifts, who could imagine what else will be sent in the future?
Situ Fang, do you want to play us seven great sect cultivators to death?
Long Xiu'ao's whole body surged with qi waves, his resonant voice shook the dark clouds in the sky, which were violently rolling; a ten-zhang golden dragon qi coiled and flew in the heavens, emitting an incredibly ferocious dragon roar.
Everyone, don't rush; the method to control the Void Beast Bone is personally transmitted by the sect master.
I believe Yan Ling, your junior nephew, will certainly not disappoint you.
Please, fellow Daoists, give Yan Ling, your junior nephew, a bit more time.
Situ Fang wore a grim face, his tone full of flattery as he spoke.
He then came to Yan Ling's side, muttering softly.
How exactly is Yan Ling, your junior nephew, doing? The Eight Great Sects' siege of the Shangqing Sect is no small matter.
If the Void Beast Bone is truly taken by the Shangqing Sect, the Eight Great Sects won't even have a chance to break the Myriad Soul Banner.
Quickly think: did the sect master give any special instructions regarding the Void Beast Bone?
Situ Fang leaned close to Yan Ling's ear, speaking urgently.
He felt for the first time that being the overseer of the Primordial Spirit Realm's Lu Yan Valley was truly too difficult; if he had known earlier, he would certainly not have accepted the chance to become its overseer.
Damn it! One misstep and it's a hatred for the ages!
When all the strong ones of Lu Yan Valley came, they rushed in; now that the complete Void Beast Bone is about to be lost, he definitely won't be able to return to Lu Yan Valley.
This shouldn't be; how did it come to this?
Yan Ling kept forming hand seals in his hand, speaking irritably.
His hands were about to cramp from forming seals; he could mobilize the surrounding Spiritual Power, yet the Void Beast Bone simply ignored him, instead rubbing its head against the waists of the Shangqing Sect's strong ones.
He just couldn't figure out why the normally fine Void Beast Bone, which always handled enemies with ease and destroyed everything, would encounter an accident this time.
Two lights, one black and one white, emerged from Yan Ling's eyes, but when they fell on the Golden Peng King they were blocked by a mist, so he could not clearly see the Golden Peng King's foundation.
This?
Yan Ling's eyes widened sharply, his face showing an expression of disbelief.
In this Huanyu world, aside from his master, the Lu Yan Valley sect head, no one knows his body's peculiarity; his eyes, filled with yin-yang principles, can scrutinize the essence of everything, never failing.
For the first time, it actually failed on the Golden Peng King.
The mist on the Golden Peng King's body is obviously concealed by an unparalleled expert using a supreme secret art; as long as the Golden Peng King does not reveal his details, it is hard for anyone in this Huanyu world to know his foundation.
Situ Fang, standing nearby, heard Yan Ling's words and his body swayed, almost unable to stay aloft.
He sensed countless sharp gazes staring at him from behind, slowly turned his head to reveal an embarrassed smile, and then spoke again.
Yan Ling, your junior nephew, quickly think of a way.
The Eight Great Sects' attack on the Shangqing Sect failed, and the main responsibility will fall on Lu Yan Valley.
We can't afford to compensate.
Situ Fang's eyes glistened with tears, his voice extremely anxious as he stared fixedly at Yan Ling and pleaded.
Hey hey hey, do you guys want your Void Beast Bone or not.
We can't keep letting this trash cling to Your Majesty!
Seeing the Huanyu Eight Great Sects' faces look as if they had eaten a dead rat, the Golden Peng King spoke righteously.
Upon hearing this, all the cultivators of the Eight Great Sects snapped their eyes open, none failing to glare angrily at the Golden Peng King; if they were strong enough, they would wish to kill him with a glance. The Void Beast Bone is a supreme treasure; this body-full-of-void-runes treasure, if discovered by artifact refiners and formation masters, would surely be cherished and painstakingly studied, and from the insights gained within the Void Beast Bone, many wondrous things could be crafted— the Heavenly Lunar Shuttle being a living example.
The Shangqing Sect's top-notch expert actually called the Void Beast Bone trash— damn, so arrogant!
Since you all don't want it, I'll gladly take in the Void Beast Bone!
You also can't let me work for nothing!
I've already put in the effort; you should pay for the Void Beast Bone's food expenses.
What Situ Fang said is about you; hand over the Heavenly Essence.
The Golden Peng King stroked the Void Beast Bone's forehead, speaking unwillingly, which made all cultivators of Lu Yan Valley glare with fury, especially Situ Fang, whose face turned pig-liver red.
The Shangqing Sect's strong ones not only deceived and took the Void Beast Bone, but also demanded Heavenly Essence as food expenses for it, clearly taking the opportunity to extort.
I advise you, the Void Beast Bone is not something you can possess.
Otherwise, Lu Yan Valley's revenge will scour the entire Universe Cultivation World and reduce you to ashes. Situ Fang's face darkened as he threatened.
Oh?
You heard that, right? That old woman won't let you follow me.
The Void Beast Bone should just go back!
Upon hearing this, the Golden Peng King stroked the Void Beast Bone's forehead, where a rune glimmered, and spoke sadly.
The Void Beast Bone vanished from the scene at those words, and at the same moment Situ Fang flew backward like a broken kite; only the Void Beast Bone stood firmly where he had been, leaving countless Universe Cultivation World cultivators awestruck.
The Void Beast is indeed capable of freely wandering the void since youth; though fallen for countless ages, with only its skeleton and remnant soul fused, relying on instinct to shuttle through the void, it can still punish an enemy in an instant.
Roar?
Seeing Situ Fang climb up from the ground, the Void Beast Bone, with fresh red blood continually flowing from its mouth, roared dissatisfiedly, making Situ Fang's soul tremble.
Simply because of a few words from the Golden Peng King, he was swatted away by the Void Beast Bone, and Situ Fang didn't even catch a glimpse of its afterimage.
Situ Fang was shocked to the core, his face turning ashen.
The Golden Peng King, watching the scene, was also stunned; he hadn't realized that shortly after forming a bond with the Void Beast Bone, its reliance on him—just a few joking words—was taken seriously, and it directly attacked the Lu Yan Valley cultivators on the spot.
His eyes shone with divine light, wanting to see through the Void Beast Bone, yet it was exceedingly mysterious, its whole body shrouded in void runes, blocking all probing of power.
The Golden Peng King stroked his chin, thinking carefully: his true form is a Golden Peng, having learned the demon master's cultivation method to gain wisdom and enter the path of cultivation, making him a demon cultivator; the Void Beast Bone appears mighty in strength but lacking in intellect, both being demon cultivators, so it likely regards him as kin.
This is just like the Great Sage Monkey King of the Abyssal Skull Island subduing the ferocious ape tribe.
Relying on the news passed by the Great Sage Monkey King, those ferocious apes, though strong, lack wisdom; when the Great Sage Monkey King displayed extraordinary strength and wisdom, they directly chose him as leader, and now the orthodox rulers of Skull Island, tens of thousands of ferocious apes, madly plunder territories in the Abyss.
Situ Fang, the Void Beast Bone has already broken free from the control method.
If you want to obtain the Void Beast Bone, there is only one way.
Kill the Shangqing Sect's strong ones.
Yan Ling stared at every move of the Void Beast Bone, his face utterly cold and bloodless as he spoke sternly.
Hearing this, Situ Fang startled, never expecting things to come to this point; before he could react, Yan Ling seized the opportunity and struck.
As Yan Ling vanished from the spot, a massive palm print gathered spiritual power from all directions above the firmament and descended, covering the Golden Peng King's head.
The vast palm exuded awe-inspiring divine might that shook heaven and earth; golden lightning crackled across its surface, intertwining and emitting a popping sound.
Great Wilderness Supporting Thunder Hand?
All cultivators present saw this and their faces changed.
No one expected Yan Ling's talent to be so heaven-defying that he could master the Great Wilderness Supporting Thunder Hand, knowing this was the famed attack of the Great Wilderness Thunder Ancestor millennia ago.
Damn, you little trash pulling a sneak attack.
The Golden Peng King's whole body shuddered violently, he fluttered at extreme speed to flee in all directions, yet the massive palm print had locked onto him completely, pursuing him wherever he flashed in the void.
The Golden Peng King was greatly alarmed; after his mind raced, he suddenly plunged downward into the alliance cultivators' camp, smashing a huge pit in the ground, countless alliance cultivators unable to react were instantly overturned.
Boom.
The huge golden palm descended with extreme speed, landing where the Golden Peng King fell; the palm print was so vast that any cultivator unable to escape its range was gravely injured and dying, while weaker cultivators' souls and bodies exploded instantly.
This?
All alliance cultivators, seeing their companions' gruesome state, were frightened to the point of losing their souls.
That massive palm print is fundamentally an indiscriminate attack; wherever it covers, it can destroy all living beings within.
They all stared at the crater left by the huge golden palm's bombardment; all cultivators' faces turned ashen.
Yan Ling's machinations were overly vicious; even if alliance cultivators obstructed the Great Wilderness Supporting Thunder Hand's attack, he did not control the massive palm print to avoid them, directly smashing together the Golden Peng King and the alliance's Eight Great Sect cultivators.
Seeing this, alliance cultivators had bloodshot eyes, clenched fists, and felt immense resentment. Though they were cultivators not as strong as Yan Ling, they were members of the various sects; Yan Ling considered himself the direct disciple of Lu Yan Valley's sect leader, and thus launched a indiscriminate massacre against cultivators of all major sects in the Universe Cultivation World.
Yan Ling's conduct made them feel that their lives, in the eyes of those in high positions, were worth less than weeds.
Many cultivators' faces flushed red as they glared fiercely at Yan Ling hanging in the sky.
Yan Ling stood with hands behind his back, overlooking the entire Hundred Fracture Mountains; just now his casual strike seemed like a trivial trifle, his face showing no ripple, and he hadn't even glanced properly at the alliance cultivators in the great camp.
At this moment some cultivators recalled what Mu Ya had said before, and their desire to flee the alliance solidified right then.
The Universe Cultivation World's Eight Great Sects are the orthodox path; those in high positions actually regard their lives as nothing, so why do they still serve those lofty powerhouses?
The elders and overseers of the Universe Cultivation World's Eight Great Sects gazed at the massive handprint and the countless fallen alliance cultivators, brows furrowed; they truly hadn't expected that Yan Ling, as the chief disciple of Lu Yan Valley's sect leader, would harbor such a murderous intent.
Among the cultivators wounded to death by the Great Wilderness Supporting Thunder Hand were also disciples of Lu Yan Valley; now their souls and bodies are undergoing dissolution, destined to vanish in the primal spirit realm.
Bang.
The Golden Peng King's figure burst from the ground, hovering in the air as he locked eyes with Yan Ling; fortunately he had obtained the demon master's earth-escape technique, otherwise he would have been in danger.
Although that massive palm shadow had locked onto him, it could not touch an obstruction; otherwise it would directly exhaust its power and vanish like smoke.
