Chapter 370

The Kong Que Great Wisdom King stood in mid-air, his five-colored cloak fluttering behind him. The thousand-armed giant Buddha behind him had three heads showing expressions of joy, anger, and sorrow, eerie and fierce. With a casual wave, amidst the fluttering cloak, a Phoenix-Wing Purple-Jin Tang appeared in his hand.

The Phoenix-Wing Purple-Jin Tang, burning with black flames, was waved casually, scattering specks of dark ash.

The Kong Que Great Wisdom King stood tall above the Iron Pass, thrusting the Tang, his figure flashing in mid-air, as if he were a nether ghost. With the eyesight of Seeing Yan Shu and the others, they could still only see a blurred shadow. The afterimage remained in place, but the true body had already arrived before the Chi Tie Spirit King.

The peacock gripped the Tang handle and swung the Phoenix-Wing Purple-Jin Tang.

The phoenix wings protruding from both sides were like unfolded blades, used for sweeping and vertical chopping; it was a great Guan-blade. The twelve-foot Tang handle and the mountain-heavy Tang body were no heavier than a straw in the peacock's hands.

The Bamboo Bear Spirit King's spiritual root, the Ancestor Bamboo, reached out and caught the Tang.

But the terrifying lethality brought by the heavy Tang, even just the residual force, caused the air above the Iron Pass to sink as if it were solid. The exploding air energy swept in all directions, causing all the demon bird cultivators flying in the air, except for Seeing Yan Shu and the others and a few Core Formation cultivators, to fall one after another.

The air wave was like a mountain shifting, sweeping across. Whether human or demon bird, those grazed had their bones broken, and those touched were ground into flesh and mud, turning into a rain of blood falling in the air.

The peacock held the Tang and swung it, his pale golden eyes looking down with contempt.

Below, the Iron Pass city, directly facing the force of the Purple-Jin Tang's strike, shook violently. The buildings made of blue-black hard stone shattered, and bricks, tiles, and broken walls were all shaken up.

The earth heaved up waves of soil, sweeping half the city into ruins.

The Iron Pass fortress, which the human race relied on for defense, was no better than a thin sheet of paper before the peacock. Qian Chen sat on the lotus, his right hand still holding the Heaven-Luo San, propping up the five-colored divine light, while his left hand reached down slightly and slapped the ground.

The Red Lotus Array's spiritual light lotus trembled, its petals closing slightly as if floating on water, then opening outward again.

Where the spiritual light ripples passed, the soil waves subsided, protecting the remaining half of the Iron Pass city.

The spiritual bamboo trembled, and the bowl-thick spiritual root, the Ancestor Bamboo, was like a long staff in the Chi Tie King's hands, poking or picking, sweeping across a wide area. Black and white colors stained the two ends of the long staff, and as the staff danced in a circle, they transformed into two Yin-Yang fish chasing each other.

Silent and soundless, without the fierce momentum of the weapon in the peacock's hand, it completely trapped the Purple-Jin Tang within the staff's momentum.

As it danced, it laid down layers of stagnant Yin-Yang force fields, making it impossible for the Jin Tang in the Kong Que Demon King's hand to leak out even a shred of power.

At this moment, Qian Chen backhanded the Heaven-Luo San to entangle the five-colored divine light, forcing the divine light to be unable to return for support. A point of destructive energy erupted in his palm, held by Qian Chen. A point of purple light sprouted, then transformed into a wild dragon in heaven and earth, suddenly shooting out.

In just a flash, the air across the thousand-foot distance between Qian Chen and the peacock was pierced through by that streak of thunder light.

The exploding air wave cleared the air energy in the center, temporarily turning this place into a silent void world.

The Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, with an overwhelming and all-sweeping posture.

Pierced through all obstacles, striking toward the peacock's heart.

At this time, the spiritual bamboo staff in the Chi Tie Spirit King's hand rolled the Taiji, and countless Yin-Yang air energies transformed into a lingering, sinking force, trapping the peacock's magic power within it. The coordination between the two was perfect to the extreme; even the peacock could only retreat.

The cloak behind him swept up, blocking this thunderbolt. A black spot was shockingly pierced through the five-colored feathered cloak by the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.

The peacock lowered the cloak, glanced at the scorched mark pierced through on it, and gave a light laugh.

"Mastery of the Five Thunders!"

"I didn't expect that I still underestimated you... Mastery of the Five Thunders at the minor success stage, cultivating the Heavenly Mansion Divine Thunder, you already possess the means to threaten me!"

The peacock stood proudly holding the Tang, shook his head slightly and said: "If it were ordinary times, it wouldn't be impossible to exchange blows with you. But since it is already a struggle for the Great Dao... one must use every means possible!"

Before the words fell, the thousand-armed giant Buddha stepped out from behind him, lotus flowers growing with every step, instantly arriving above the thousand mountains pressing down on the Guzhu Kingdom.

A thousand palms spread out, covering the sky and sun, striking down together. The giant wooden Buddha palms struck the mountain body, creating countless cracks. The thousand mountains sank again, and Qian Chen had to withdraw his magic power, gathering all his cultivation to prop up the Heaven-Luo San again.

The peacock took the opportunity to withdraw the five-colored divine light...

The thousand mountains overturned by the gathered Earth-element divine light; the surging floods rolled up by the Water-element divine light; the Poisonous Fire Dragon drawn from the earth's lungs by the Fire-element divine light; the countless artifacts summoned by the Metal-element divine light, as well as the countless weapons left behind from the three-hundred-year human-demon war on the Iron Pass ancient battlefield; and the giant Buddha, comparable to a mountain and thirteen thousand zhang tall, transformed from the immeasurable grass and trees gathered by the Wood-element divine light...

All this Five-element power, under the peacock's wooden Buddha body, gathered into a strike comparable to a Great Divine Ability!

Weapons, grass and trees, floods, poisonous fire, mountains!

Transformed into a five-colored divine mountain, shockingly pressing down...

"Five-Element Mountain!"

The peacock Buddha body was as majestic as a true god-Buddha.

This divine ability was not complete. Among the thirty-six Great Divine Abilities of the Yuan Yuan Tiangang, whether it was Qian Chen's Mastery of the Five Thunders, or the peacock's Great Success Five-Colored Divine Light, or even the Innate One-Qi Great Capture and Universe in the Sleeve outside the Yuan Yuan Tiangang, they were not only incomparably powerful but could also be controlled at will, and were extremely swift to activate.

And this Five-Element Mountain, using the heaven and earth energy gathered by the five-colored divine light, was indeed incomparably tyrannical, and the power of the divine ability was also violent enough.

With one strike, even the five-colored divine light could not compare.

But the five-colored divine light was so swift to activate, while this slow Five-Element Mountain strike was enough for Qian Chen to perform escape techniques and move back and forth dozens of times beneath it.

Unless... Qian Chen could not leave!

"Despicable!" Seeing Yan Shu was furious. The Kong Que Great Wisdom King was using the last remaining roots of these millions of human beings in the Guzhu Kingdom to force Qian Chen to bear this strike head-on.

The joint force of Qian Chen and the Chi Tie Spirit King was instantly broken.

"So that's how it is..." Qian Chen realized that this divine ability was not created on the spot, as there were many traces of careful design, and he suddenly understood in his heart: "The peacock probably already had the intention to kill the Chi Tie Spirit King. He left the Guzhu Kingdom not because he was held back by other forces in the demon kingdom, but to keep the Chi Tie Spirit King as a flaw, using these millions of human beings as hostages to coerce and force the Chi Tie Spirit King."

"If it weren't for me, the one bearing this strike today would probably be Chi Tie!"

"Kong Que, you really are as you said. Before the Great Dao, use every means possible..."

At this moment, for the first time in his life, Qian Chen felt a sense of powerlessness.

The peacock's divine abilities already slightly surpassed the joint force of him and the Chi Tie Spirit King. Even so, upon discovering that Qian Chen had a shred of possibility to threaten him, the peacock backhanded a trump card to hold Qian Chen back and isolate the Chi Tie Spirit King.

His Dao heart was subtle, like walking on thin ice, and even despicable and shameless; he was truly a unique figure in Qian Chen's eyes.

Despite this, Qian Chen felt no resentment in his heart.

Because if he were the Kong Que Demon King, he would probably do the same... When it came to caution, Qian Chen was not far behind.

The Five-Element Mountain fell, and Qian Chen ultimately did not dodge... His hair bun fell loose, his long hair dancing, and the invisible pressure caused his Qi Sea to tremble, blood streaks sliding from his ears.

The Five-Element Mountain's full-force strike caused Qian Chen's vision to go black, and the bones all over his body appeared with fine cracks under this strike.

Seeing Yan Shu saw this scene.

He did not know whether he should be gratified by Qian Chen's persistence or sigh because the peacock had succeeded.

The Heaven-Luo San's spiritual light was shaky as never before. Beneath the thousand mountains collapsing and the Five-Element gathered divine mountain, Qian Chen's figure was as small as an ant.

But it was this ant that propped up a divine mountain billions of times larger than itself.

"Kill!"

Seeing Yan Shu roared, his hands joined into sword fingers, thrusting toward the sky, and the Demon-Suppressing Sword Box behind him shot into the sky. Above his head, sword Qi surged like a tide, endless sword light scattering, each streak comparable to a full-force strike of a Core Formation cultivator.

Even though restrained by the Metal-element divine light, Seeing Yan Shu could still slay Yin Spirits just by using sword Qi.

"Bang!"

Amidst the shattering sword light, a Jin Tang like phoenix wings spreading flew, shattering the sword sea. The next moment, the Jin Tang flipped, like a phoenix flying, piercing through the sword tide Seeing Yan Shu had stirred up. With a brush of the five-colored divine light, the green bamboo in the Chi Tie Spirit King's hand trembled, about to be drawn into that cyan divine light. The Chi Tie Spirit King could only use the Yin-Yang Qi to forcibly stabilize it.

But because of this, he was a moment slow, and the red-gold phoenix Tang smashed down at his chest. The Chi Tie Spirit King only had time to raise the green bamboo to block in front of his chest.

The arrogant Tang head with wings spread wide smashed onto the green bamboo, its residual force undiminished. The Chi Tie Spirit King, like a black and white large meatball, was smashed dozens of li away, crashing into the cliff wall outside the Iron Pass.

The peacock did not pursue, but withdrew the Tang to slash back.

The sword rises like stars racing ten thousand miles to kill, wind and thunder chase the sound of rain!

This streak of sword light from Seeing Yan Shu was like thunder, like a meteor, containing within its majesty an unyielding sword heart and sword Qi, the Qian Heaven Yang Gang Qi for slaying demons...

Shaoqing True Transmission, Demon-Slaying Sword Glow!

Ancient Sword Cultivator, Life-Bound Sword Embryo!

Even the Kong Que Demon King had to look squarely at this sword, abandoning the great opportunity to pursue the Chi Tie Spirit King, withdrawing the Phoenix-Wing Tang to collide with the sword light, blocking Seeing Yan Shu's sword of the life-bound sword embryo.

Then, as the Tang blade flipped, Seeing Yan Shu's sword light was hooked down. The peacock thrust the Tang with one hand, and the protective sword glow shattered easily under the Tang blade. It wasn't until it reached Seeing Yan Shu's front that it was delayed for a moment by his sword fingers carrying Shaoqing True Essence, but soon, the Jin Tang was about to strike down again, piercing through Seeing Yan Shu!

"Big bird, look at the ring!"

Si Princess Qingcheng threw down the Demon-Binding Silver Ring, winning another moment. She then smashed out the Origin Yang Merit Seal in her hand, with twenty-four divine generals blessing it. Since achieving the first-rank Core Formation and cultivating the Jin Dan Realm, this was her first full-force strike after truly being able to use the power of this seal.

The peacock swung the Jin Tang, easily picking away the silver ring.

At the same time, the five-colored divine light brushed again, taking away the Origin Yang Merit Seal.

Carrying black demon fire, the Phoenix-Wing Tang thrust out again. The five-colored divine light and the Phoenix-Wing Tang merged instantly, like a true phoenix spreading its wings to fly, breaking through Si Princess Qingcheng's Jin Dan Realm. The majestic and domineering divine light shattered all obstacles, piercing through Si Princess Qingcheng's chest.

At this moment, Seeing Yan Shu's eyes were splitting...
