Chapter 516: Chaotic Battle at Mount Mount Cangwu

Amidst a boundless curtain of rain.

An old man in black robes strolled leisurely, arriving from outside the mountain.

Gazing at the towering, majestic Mount Mount Cangwu with its three suspended halls, a strange glint appeared in his eyes.

"Mount Cangwu, Demon Phoenix, and Sovereign Sovereign Qixia too!"

Just as he was about to step into Mount Cangwu, a woman in green robes stood coldly in his path.

"This is the sacred ground of the Feathered Clan. Halt, intruder!"

The old man in black smiled and shook his head. "A place where a flock of fledgling birds gathers, yet you dare to call it the sacred ground of the Feathered Clan? Little girl, you should know that there is always someone better, and heavens beyond the heavens!"

Qing Shuang's expression was cold. "I know there are heavens beyond the heavens, and I know there is always someone better. But here, you are the outsider. A Human Nascent Soul powerhouse, daring to step into the depths of the Wilderness—are you planning to openly tear up the ancient alliance?"

The old man in black smiled without a word.

This attitude caused a ripple on Qing Shuang's cold face.

Was the other party tacitly admitting it?

Just as her mind wavered for that split second, the old man in black abruptly reached out a hand toward Qing Shuang.

As he extended his hand, the wind and clouds within a radius of several thousand miles trembled, the rain curtain rolled backward, and a giant hand reaching toward the heavens took shape with a rumble, slowly grasping toward Qing Shuang.

The speed was very slow.

Qing Shuang sneered, and faint ripples appeared in the space before her.

She took a step forward, intending to execute that spatial secret art of "inches becoming a world."

However, the next moment!

Bang!

Her entire body was sent flying backward.

It failed!

How could this be?

Qing Shuang's heart was filled with terror. She scanned her surroundings, but there was clearly nothing there.

"Not right!"

"It's the water vapor!"

"After the heavy snow that lasted for months melted, it formed a dense water vapor that even arrays cannot easily disperse. This water vapor is clearly under this person's control; the ubiquitous water vapor is obstructing my spatial secret art."

"A Nascent Soul powerhouse who has comprehended the Laws of Water!"

In just an instant, the exceptionally talented Qing Shuang understood why her spatial talent could not be activated.

And at this very moment, that slow giant hand was already within reach.

Seemingly slow but actually fast, like water dripping through stone!

Hum!

The giant palm suddenly closed.

A look of satisfaction appeared on the old man in black's face. "Tearing up the alliance is inevitable. The war between humans and demons that stopped in ancient times has reached the stage of restarting. At this time, a late-stage Nascent Soul existence like you, who has comprehended a bloodline talent—and the strongest, most bizarre spatial talent at that—truly counts as a variable."

"Let me, this old man, personally open this great war between humans and demons for the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world!"

As he spoke, he prepared to mobilize his divine sense to crush Qing Shuang to death.

In the void, the giant hand gradually transformed into a transparent droplet of water, imprisoning a graceful figure within, looking just like amber.

However!

The next moment!

Boom!

The droplet, shrunk to the extreme, exploded violently.

In the void, a figure several hundred feet long spread its wings.

At this moment, green radiance shrouded the horizon, as if the entire sky was covered beneath her graceful figure.

A light cry pierced through the clouds and mist!

The overcast sky suddenly dissipated.

The boundless rain curtain evaporated in an instant.

At this moment, the blue sky and sea of clouds were vast, with only the cry of the Green Luan echoing endlessly.

Seeing this, the old man in black blurted out, "What a magnificent Green Bird, it is just right to be the guardian divine beast of my Mingyuan Sect!"

As he spoke, he clapped his palms repeatedly, and streams of vigorous magic power, carrying a trace of bizarre Law power, surrounded the magnificent divine bird from all directions.

Judging by his posture, he had actually extinguished the intent to kill and developed the desire to capture it alive.

Facing these attacks, Qing Shuang, having manifested her true form, was unafraid. As her wings flapped, space rippled, constantly neutralizing the Law power.

Seeing this scene, the old man in black became even more urgent.

A Green Luan that had activated its spatial talent at the Nascent Soul stage—its future was simply limitless!

If he could capture it alive, regardless of the war between humans and demons, his status in this realm would definitely rank in the top five.

If he could help the Green Luan advance to the Soul Transformation stage, with the two of them joining forces, he would be the sole sovereign of this realm!

He glanced at Mount Mount Cangwu, where the feathers were gathering, and shouted toward the back.

"Stop watching. While the master of this place has not returned, quickly flatten Mount Mount Cangwu."

"After this battle, I will allow the three of you to cultivate in my Mingyuan Sect!"

"We obey the Ancestor's decree!"

Three voices spoke in unison.

Immediately, three familiar figures flew in from afar.

They glanced at the old man in black who wanted to capture the Green Luan alive, then tactfully changed direction and charged into Mount Mount Cangwu.

Almost at the same time the three charged in.

A sharp shriek erupted from the Duzhen Hall.

"Damned humans!"

The next moment, a woman wearing a tight black dress with a curvaceous figure walked out.

But the terrifying thing was, she did not have a beautiful face on her neck, but instead sported an ugly crow's head.

"A feathered beast with a crow's head and human body—my Hehuan Sect wouldn't even deign to take in such an ugly sight," the Hehuan Ancestor laughed wildly.

You Quan's expression was extremely ugly.

At the most critical moment of her transformation, she had been forcibly interrupted; now, she was filled with rage!

"I will kill you all!"

The sharp shriek rolled out, and the powerful sonic attack actually caused the three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators to change their expressions slightly.

Not only that, but inside the Duzhen Hall, powerful auras rose one after another.

At a glance, there were over a dozen auras comparable to Nascent Soul powerhouses.

The Hehuan Ancestor's expression changed slightly. "Quick battle, quick decision. Break them one by one. I will handle this crow; you all take care of the rest!"

He had certainly picked up a bargain!

Monk Hui Ping of the Tianji Chan Sect nodded, unfurled his monk's robe, and encircled several Nascent Soul-stage feathered beasts.

And that Divine Origin True Person of the Five Elements Divine Sect had a look of joy on his face and charged straight into the Duzhen Hall.

Judging by his appearance, he clearly had a goal in mind!

You Quan glanced in the direction of the Divine Origin True Person, her expression sank, and she sent a sound transmission.

"Lei Yu, kill the prisoners in the dungeon first, then intercept the strong enemies!"

As she spoke, she unfurled her body and returned to her original black crow form.

She hadn't fully transformed into this human body; it was too unfamiliar and not at all suitable for her to fight.

Inside the Duzhen Hall, several figures were also charging toward the Divine Origin True Person.

In response, the Divine Origin True Person took out a small pagoda, stepped on it, and streams of colorful, singular radiance flew out from within.

Those demonic beasts attempting to block him struggled quite a bit in the face of this radiance.

A late-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse is indeed a late-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse!

Especially someone like the Divine Origin True Person, who cultivated the Five Elements without any shortcomings; facing those with lower cultivation than him, if they didn't have great methods, it was almost a crushing existence.

Apart from executing their innate demonic arts to slightly resist the Divine Origin True Person's methods, the other demonic cultivators' means were completely ineffective.

For a time, all the fourth-stage Nascent Soul demonic beasts began to change into their true forms, fighting with all their might.

This battle, from the very beginning, entered a white-hot stage.

Ten thousand miles away from Mount Mount Cangwu.

Three figures slowly emerged.

A man with a majestic and awe-inspiring face gazed toward Mount Mount Cangwu, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.

Of the two behind him, one whispered, "Lord Di Tian, according to the agreement, are we not going to help them?"

"Agreement?" Di Tian shook his head slowly. "The agreement was only for Sovereign Sovereign Qixia of Mount Mount Cangwu to help me; there was no mention of me helping them."

"But, we are all fellow demonic clansmen, shouldn't we..."

"You should ask that woman Sovereign Qixia if she has ever considered herself a part of our Shanhai Realm demonic clan."

Di Tian sneered, his eyes filled with hesitation.

After this battle, he would first use the hands of the Human powerhouses to eliminate the unstable force within the demonic clan that was Mount Mount Cangwu.

Then, using the external crisis as pressure, he would integrate the demonic clans in the million great mountains of the Eastern Wasteland, with himself as the supreme leader, and take advantage of the situation to launch a war against the humans, reclaiming all the territory the Eastern Wasteland demonic clan had lost over three thousand years.

If he could take down the Mingyuan Sect, that would be even better!

By then, with the Eastern Wasteland demonic clan occupying a continent and confronting the Central Plains humans across the East Ming Abyss, he, Di Tian, would be the first person in history to unify the Eastern Wasteland!

"Qing He is weak and incompetent, Sovereign Qixia is elusive, and several ancient wild beasts are ignorant. Only I, Ping Shan Jun Di Tian, am the true destined Lord of the Eastern Wasteland!"

"Sovereign Qixia, is this the only strength of the orthodoxy you left behind?"

Deep in the dungeon of Mount Mount Cangwu.

The incident happened suddenly, and Luo Chen was completely caught off guard.

However, in the blink of an eye, the life-bound magic treasure he had just refined was snatched away by someone.

The connection in his mind was still there, but no matter how he mobilized it, the Hunyuan Cauldron had no reaction.

As his expression turned ugly, Tian Tian Yezi said leisurely, "My things were all looted by the demonic clan of Mount Mount Cangwu. This magic treasure of yours is not bad, and it was even refined by my own hands; it just so happens I'll borrow it."

As he spoke, he exchanged a glance with Han Zhan, and the two nodded tacitly, flying toward the dungeon exit simultaneously.

Just as the two rushed to the dungeon gate, Tian Tian Yezi's expression changed drastically.

"Retreat!"

"Quickly retreat!"

However, it was already too late.

A violent force exploded suddenly.

Pure white lightning completely illuminated the dark dungeon.

Bang!

Bang!

Two sounds of heavy objects hitting the ground rang out, accompanied by the man who was exceptionally sturdy, as if he were the God of Thunder, stepping in slowly.

"I have long heard of the baseness of humans."

"Today, with me, Lei Yu, guarding this dungeon, you two... go to your deaths!"

He gripped his wrist, and violent lightning crackled and exploded.

In this violent force, without a body as a barrier, Han Zhan, who was left with only a Nascent Soul, was struck heavily.

"Ah... fellow Daoist, save me!"

However, Tian Tian Yezi himself was barely able to look after himself, so where would he find the strength to save him?

The screams gradually weakened and finally disappeared completely.

Just one strike!

Han Zhan, who had been struggling on the verge of death and was once a Supreme Elder of the Luoyun Sect who shook the Yuding Region, vanished into smoke and dust, disappearing into the vast sea of thunder.

Lei Yu succeeded in one strike, without the slightest pride or pause.

He surged up, crossing a distance of several hundred meters at extreme speed, and punched toward Tian Tian Yezi.

Tian Tian Yezi's eyes were splitting with rage as he controlled the Hunyuan Cauldron to block it.

Clang!

A loud sound.

The round Hunyuan Cauldron was directly blasted backward.

Tian Tian Yezi himself was blasted until his face flushed red by the counter-shock force.

"After all, it's not a magic treasure I refined personally; controlling it is not as I wish!"

He shouted sharply, using the Hunyuan Cauldron to take several attacks from Lei Yu head-on, and then, after the Hunyuan Cauldron was knocked away, he simply ignored the thing, clenching his fist wrapped in wind and thunder, and charged forward himself.

He was actually going to use his physical body to engage in hand-to-hand combat with a mid-stage Nascent Soul Demon Emperor!

The moment the two collided, it was thousands of fist shadows in the blink of an eye.

Under constant attack, Lei Yu himself was actually temporarily suppressed by Tian Tian Yezi, beaten until he kept retreating.

"Don't underestimate me; this physical body of mine is something even your Lord Qing Shuang would have to look at with respect."

"If you're sensible, clear the path and send me out!"

"Get lost!"

In the close-quarters combat, Tian Tian Yezi roared continuously, completely lacking the demeanor of a high-ranking Daoist.

And under his suppression, Lei Yu himself was covered in injuries, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.

Boom!

It was another close-quarters collision, and the two figures were forced to retreat by the counter-shock force.

And that sturdy figure of Lei Yu still blocked the exit direction.

The prison, cast from unknown materials, had no damage at all, except for some bent bars.

Tian Tian Yezi panted, glaring at Lei Yu.

"If you don't move aside, the next strike will kill you!"

Lei Yu grinned and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"A withered bone in a grave, yet you dare to speak wildly!"

As he spoke, he took a deep breath, and his abdomen suddenly swelled.

The next moment, he opened his mouth wide.

"ROAR!!!"

A sound as surging as a thunderclap instantly filled the entire prison.

Demonic Art—Thunder Roar!

In this violent thunder roar, even Tian Tian Yezi, who had been prepared, couldn't help but tremble all over.

But just as his mind was shaken, a sense of impending doom made him wake up.

The power of wind and thunder exploded within his Nascent Soul.

However, it was already too late.

A hand violently inserted into his dantian, tightly gripping his broken Nascent Soul.

Tian Tian Yezi stared at Lei Yu with unwillingness.

"If it weren't for the fact that I had too much Nascent Soul power extracted earlier, and lacked a life-bound magic treasure to assist me, how could you have the ability to defeat me."

Lei Yu grinned hideously. "Go tell that to the King of Hell in the netherworld!"

Immediately, thunder light burst from his hand, directly crushing Tian Tian Yezi's Nascent Soul alive.

After personally wiping out a generation of Nascent Soul powerhouses, Lei Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

He casually pushed aside Tian Tian Yezi's old and decaying corpse, his gaze fixed, and he let out a light sound of surprise.

"Eh, you're still alive?"

In the corner of the deepest part of the dungeon, Luo Chen was trembling, his face pale.

He stammered, trembling as he said, "Junior, junior... my divine soul is still okay, the senior's attack was not focused on me, so I barely..."

Lei Yu frowned.

Although he had deliberately restrained the attack range earlier, seeking to concentrate his power.

But that Thunder Roar was an area-of-effect killing move, and the two were only a few miles apart; this mere Golden Core cultivator was actually still alive.

"Tian Tian Yezi was only shaken for a moment just now; have I been away from battle for too long, and my demonic arts have become rusty?"

As his thoughts turned, his gaze fell on Luo Chen, becoming increasingly unfriendly.

The order he received was to kill all the prisoners in the dungeon!

Under that unkind gaze, Luo Chen hurriedly shouted, "You cannot kill me! I am a person favored by the Master of the Nether Spring Palace. She bestowed upon me a third-tier top-grade cave dwelling and helped me cultivate the 'Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra'. You cannot kill me!"

"Right, there is also the Transformation Pill, this is the key to Mount Mount Cangwu's rise; if you kill me, there will be no one to refine pills for you."

Lei Yu the Divine Roc frowned, and the killing intent in his heart weakened slightly.

And the next moment, his eyes narrowed.

He beckoned toward Luo Chen.

"Fine, I won't kill you, but for now, you hide in the dungeon and don't go out for the time being."

He held a thousand-year-old Thunder Essence that Luo Chen had offered at the right time, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.

"It's very chaotic outside, pay attention to protecting yourself."

After speaking, he walked toward the upper level of the dungeon, walking while extending his hand toward his back.

With a crackle, a weapon resembling a whip was pulled out from his spine.

Tian Tian Yezi?

Heh!

You weren't in your peak state, so how could I have used my full strength?

With this Thunder Whip, he, Lei Yu, dared to fight even a late-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse!

Lei Yu the Divine Roc, having inherited the bloodline of the ancient wild beast Thunder Roc, was naturally the most adept at battle among the demonic clan!

Hearing that a late-stage Nascent Soul human cultivator had charged in, he would just happen to kill him and establish his status as the Fourth Master of Mount Mount Cangwu!

And after he left.

Luo Chen, who had been panicked and pale, slowly stood up from the corner.

His expression was calm, showing no sign of the previous cowardice.

He flipped his wrist, and a black, broken wooden figurine appeared in his hand.

"Senior Han, this method of yours to fake death is truly profound!"
