Chapter 2497 Another Strike!
Anyone facing such a sacred mountain would feel as insignificant as an ant.
Although he already knew from Yue Ling Shuang that Qin Sang possessed a mountain, Dong Jiao Wang never expected it to be such a mountain!
A celestial mountain descended from the heavens, instantly enveloping the star field in ethereal clouds, with starlight twinkling in the clouds, creating a dreamlike and enchanting scene.
The Eastern Dragon King had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery; the majestic mountain overhead brought unprecedented and terrifying pressure.
'Shuh! '
A streak of blue light shot out from the waist of the Eastern Dragon King.
This is a jade pendant that was previously worn by the Eastern Flood Dragon King. It was not only an ornament but also a protective treasure, and it was called the Hua Shen Pendant.
When its owner is in danger, the jade pendant will protect them on its own!
The Hua Shen Pendant is a piece of warm and lustrous jade, with a light blue hue. A bright yellow spot has seeped into the center of the jade, making it look like a blemish.
Hua Shenpei flew into the air, initially displaying a blue light, which then faded, leaving behind a pure, bright yellow light that shone brightly.
Like rosy clouds or brocade, it spreads out at the foot of the sacred mountain, trying to support it.
Unfortunately, compared to the majestic immortal mountain, it still appeared too frail. The bright yellow light suddenly shone brightly, then suddenly dissipated. With a 'bang,' the Hua Shen Pendant revealed its true form, its luster dimmed, and it was directly blasted away.
The immortal mountain trembled only slightly before continuing to crash down on the Eastern Flood Dragon King below.
At this moment, the Eastern Flood Dragon King did not look at the immortal mountain above his head, but stared solemnly at his chest.
At this moment, a yellow paper appeared on his chest, its thin surface covered with densely packed runes.
The meaning of the runes was unclear; they seemed to possess a life of their own, rising and falling, exhaling and inhaling yellow energy. Within the yellow energy, there was a faint hint of red, which imbued the heavy yellow energy with a violent aura.
Looking at the yellow talisman, the Eastern Flood Dragon King's eyes twitched slightly. This was the Ten Grounds Samadhi Talisman, a treasure passed down through the Eastern Flood Dragon King's mansion. He never expected that it would be used up after being passed down to him.
At this moment, apart from this Ten Grounds Samadhi Talisman, the Eastern Flood Dragon King could not think of anything that could resolve the current crisis!
'Snapped! '
The yellow talisman shattered, bursting forth with a rich, dark yellow light.
The primordial yellow light rapidly spread outwards, instantly forming a vast landmass above the Eastern Flood Dragon King's head.
The land stretched as far as the eye could see, incredibly real, and hard to believe it was conjured by a talisman. It contained mountains, rivers, and lakes—everything imaginable—except that the mountains were barren of vegetation and the rivers and lakes were empty.
The barren mountains and dried-up rivers resembled a lifeless wasteland!
The land was unstable, the earth kept shaking, and a scorching heat emanated from the center of the land, followed by bursts of flames.
This scene was like the raging fire beneath the earth, as if a volcano on the ground was about to erupt.
The Ten Grounds Samadhi Talisman, also known as the Ten Grounds Samadhi Fire Talisman, is essentially a fire-elemental talisman.
'boom! boom! boom! ’
Amidst the rumbling of the land, flames shot into the sky, igniting the land. The earth and the spiritual fire merged, forming a barrier between the Eastern Flood Dragon King and the Immortal Mountain.
'boom! ’
The sacred mountain crashed solidly onto this land, creating a huge, visible ring of fire at its foot.
The fire ring spread rapidly.
The immortal mountain and the land seemed to be stuck together. Then, starting from the edge of the land, the spiritual fire dissipated, the soil and rocks collapsed, and ravines crisscrossed the land.
The Eastern Flood Dragon King's expression darkened, and he hurriedly cast an incantation to gather the remaining power of the spiritual talismans. A raging flame shot up the immortal mountain, threatening to set the entire mountain ablaze.
However, the Eastern Dragon King knew that even the Ten Grounds Samadhi Talisman could not burn down this immortal mountain. Moreover, this talisman was more defensive and once used, it would be heavy and difficult to move. The crisis had not yet passed!
Just then, a metallic clang rang out from the five-colored divine light, followed by several crimson rays being flung out from it—the Crimson Scale Spirit Pillars.
The Crimson Scale Spirit Pillars were scattered and disordered. Although there were no signs of damage on the surface of the pillars, they had lost their order and could no longer maintain their formation.
The Eastern Flood Dragon King did not expect that the Crimson Scale Spirit Pillar would be broken so quickly. Before he could catch his breath, the Five Elements Divine Light rushed towards him.
"Danger!"
The Eastern Dragon King felt a strong sense of alarm, but he had become numb to it. From the moment he was attacked until now, he had been in constant danger.
In his haste, the Eastern Flood Dragon King flicked his sleeve, and a small pagoda flew out from it.
The small tower is entirely crimson red, with nine stories in total. Each story has a door that is always open, allowing a view of the blazing flames inside.
The fire tower spun in mid-air, turning its entrance directly towards Xiao Wu. Spiritual fire shot out of the tower with a "whoosh," forming an overwhelming wave of fire that clashed head-on with the Five Elements Divine Light.
With so many treasures being revealed, even the Eastern Flood Dragon King, with his deep reserves, is almost completely drained. If this cannot help him escape danger, his future looks bleak.
Although the Immortal Mountain and the Five Elements Divine Light were temporarily blocked, they remained firmly locked onto the Eastern Flood Dragon King, maintaining constant pressure. It wouldn't be easy for the Eastern Flood Dragon King to retreat. Furthermore, because the Ten Earths Samadhi Talisman and the Immortal Mountain obstructed his vision and confused his senses, he didn't see the Sword Star become incomparably dazzling!
‘Wow! ’
The four star fields shone brightly, dispelling the darkness. The starlight was like a sea, and the four spirit star demons were born from the starlight. Their fierce eyes stared at the battlefield, and they pounced down.
At the same time, the sun, moon, and five planets were also twinkling, echoing the four auspicious stars.
'boom! ’
Suddenly, the four spirit stars collided with each other, instantly perishing together. Their starlight and sword intent merged together, becoming one.
Immediately afterwards, the Seven Luminaries trembled and fell into this ball of starlight, and then more and more stars were drawn in by the Seven Luminaries. This starlight was like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring the sword star, and finally transforming into an unparalleled sword light.
King Dongjiao's expression changed drastically, his face filled with disbelief.
'puff! '
In a fit of horror, the Eastern Flood Dragon King plunged his hand into his own chest, blood flowing down his fingers, revealing his beating heart.
'boom! '
With a forceful squeeze of five fingers, he actually crushed the heart!
The Eastern Dragon King first disemboweled himself and then crushed his own heart, not to commit suicide, but to perform a secret technique.
This is a forbidden technique that requires burning one's own lifeblood and can only be used in a life-or-death situation. Once this technique is used, even if one ultimately escapes danger, a terrible price will be paid!
'puff! '
A transparent flame ignited within the shattered heart, rapidly rising as the lifeblood within him continued to flow there, nourishing the transparent flame, even though his heart was gone.
Having devoured countless amounts of life essence, the fire surged, engulfing the Eastern Flood Dragon King. The transparent flames continued to expand, instantly transforming into a giant of fire.
The fire giant's facial features were exactly the same as those of the Eastern Flood Dragon King, but his expression was full of ferocity and rage, like a fire demon.
The Fire Demon raised its hands high, roared to the sky, and its entire body blazed with flames, radiating a terrifying aura. Through the transparent flames on the Fire Demon's body, one could see that in the location of its heart, a crimson fire egg had formed, and the true form of the Eastern Flood Dragon King was hidden inside, its limbs curled up like an infant in the womb!
The sword light descended at that moment!
At this moment, the Eastern Dragon King had no time to spare.
The land formed by the Ten Grounds Samadhi Talisman trembled slightly, and the Azure Phoenix Dharma Image suddenly appeared beneath the land. At the same time, the fire waves surging from the Fire Tower were also forced back by the Five Elements Divine Light. Xiao Wu flicked his finger, and the Five Elements Divine Light swept past the side of the Fire Tower, causing it to collapse with a mournful cry.
'puff! '
The Fire Demon gathered all the flames in his body into a long halberd, intending to block the sword light, but was pierced through by the sword light!
At this moment, it was visible to the naked eye that a spirit sword pierced through the flaming halberd, then through the fire demon's palm, entered from the top of its head, then pierced its skull, and swam down its throat...
First came the halberd, then the hands, arms, and head. Wherever the spirit sword passed, everything shattered, actually being torn apart by the invisible sword intent.
"sword……"
The Eastern Dragon King was utterly terrified.
Before the word "domain" could be uttered, with a loud "boom," the Fire Demon's chest was struck by the Azure Phoenix Dharma Image, followed by a barrage of Five Elements Divine Light.
In an instant, strange phenomena and wondrous lights appeared where the fire demon stood. No matter how strong the fire demon was, it could not continue to show off its power under such an attack and was torn to pieces on the spot.
As for the Eastern Flood Dragon King, that was his last voice left in the world. With the destruction of the Fire Demon, he also fell silent completely!
……
A corner of the immortal abode.
Here is an inconspicuous mountain peak, hollowed out inside, with a stone platform on which sits a square stone.
'Snapped! '
Suddenly, the stone cracked, and pieces of stone peeled off, eventually forming a human figure.
The stone statue is of a woman, lifelike, with an exquisite appearance and a touch of bewitching charm between her brows. It is none other than Yue Lingshuang!
'Kaka...'
The stone statue came to life. Its limbs moved, initially stiff like stone, but quickly became flexible and free. As its entire body shimmered, the rough stone surface gradually became smooth and white, and then its features, hair, and other parts all became indistinguishable from a real person.
Finally, with a glance, she completely possessed the same charm as Yue Ling Shuang.
"call!"
Yue Lingshuang patted her chest, her high breasts trembling.
She let out a long sigh, looking as if she was still shaken.
"Better to die for my fellow Daoists than for myself," she thought, having no intention of sharing life and death with those people. After realizing that she had greatly underestimated Qin Sang's strength, her first thought was to protect herself, and she did not hesitate to use the methods she had prepared beforehand.
This is also why she has no helpers. In case of an accident, Dongjiao King and Gui Geng will have people to save them, but no one will specifically come to save her. It is understandable that she made this choice.
She took out a jade bottle containing only a single snow-white pill. Upon opening the bottle, a chilling medicinal fragrance wafted out.
With two fingers pinching the pill, a layer of white frost immediately spread across her fingertips. Yue Lingshuang swallowed the pill, and the restless aura on her body instantly stabilized.
With a swift turn, she flew out of the mountain's belly, gazing intently at the spiritual mist, her expression momentarily stunned.
Since Qin Sang's disappearance, the three kings of Zhu Qian have joined forces to use secret search techniques, and the spirit mirror has remained suspended high above the immortal mansion. The spirit mirror's energy is already connected to the immortal mansion, and it will not fall unless it is retrieved by its master or subjected to a direct attack.
At that moment, the mirror suddenly went dark and fell from the sky.
"Could it be..."
Suddenly, Yue Ling Shuang realized a startling possibility. Her delicate body trembled violently, and her eyes were filled with terror.
……
On the other side of the battlefield.
King Nanyun and King Dusha separated to avoid the Void Realm. Instead of taking the opportunity to pursue them, the Thunder Beast Guards chose to block Jin Geng.
Little did they know, the Southern King Yun and the Du Sha King's evasion was merely a temporary measure; they were secretly plotting a scheme. The six of them had previously discussed how to deal with Qin Sang; if they could only dodge in the face of the Void Realm, it would make them appear utterly incompetent.
If Qin Sang had comprehended the Void Domain on his own, there might not have been any opportunity to exploit it. However, since it was created with the help of a spiritual treasure, the biggest weakness lies in the spiritual treasure itself!
It just so happens that both King Nanyun and King Dusha possess methods to counter enemy spiritual treasures, so there's a reason why they were sent out to attack while King Dongjiao remained to guard the spiritual mist. If used properly, they could not only break through the void domain but also directly seize the spiritual treasures. Although they couldn't force the spiritual treasures to change hands, they could still cripple one of the opponent's key assets.
However, it's easier said than done. It requires choosing an extremely precise moment, so when they saw the Heavenly Lock and the Earthly Ring, they had to choose to avoid them.
If Jin Geng hadn't returned to reinforce them, but instead continued to cooperate with them in their fierce attack on the Thunder Beast Guards, they might have been able to operate more easily.
Even so, they still managed to seize the opportunity.
A wisp of fire on the ground escaped the pursuit of the Void Realm and reformed into the Fiend King. The Fiend King raised his hand and pointed to the sky. His finger turned jet black, and a black ring appeared in the void where it pointed.
The black ring was about the size of a collar, slightly tilted, with its opening pointing directly at the Heavenly Lock. A flash of black light passed through the center of the ring.
At the same time, the Heavenly Lock's spiritual light dimmed, and its surface was covered with a layer of similar black light, as if it had been contaminated. It trembled and caused the golden light in the void to fluctuate.
On the other side, King Nanyun, after retreating a distance, suddenly placed the ice palace on the ground, allowing it to be swallowed up by the void.
As the golden light of the Void Realm and the chilling aura of the Ice Palace intertwined, blue flames suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the void. It was unknown when King Nan Yun had hidden these blue flames, but they spread almost throughout the battlefield, including the Void Realm!
The next moment, a blue spiritual flower suddenly bloomed below the Prison Divine Ring. The flower's body was composed of flames, and its aura was faintly connected to the countless blue flames around it.
The spirit flower bloomed, and the Prisoner's Ring was right in the center of the flower. Then the petals suddenly closed into a bud, enveloping the Prisoner's Ring inside.
With both magical treasures targeted simultaneously, the golden light in the void immediately became scattered and unstable, posing no threat to King Nanyun and King Dusha.
Despite encountering various unforeseen circumstances, this time things finally went as smoothly as expected. With continued efforts, King Nanyun and King Dusha even had a chance to seize the two treasures.
However, that puppet cannot be let go!
'Boom! '
The ice palace shook the ground and rose up, scattering the golden light around it and bringing with it a gust of cold wind that flew above the Thunder Beast Guards.
King Nanyun turned around and returned to the battlefield.
The treasure flag also coalesced and took shape following the formation of the Du Sha King. The Du Sha King then made a hand seal, causing the treasure flag to flutter and black spiritual fire to gush out. Immediately afterward, the Du Sha King pointed it at the Thunder Beast Guard again.
‘Wow! ’
The banner unleashed a raging inferno of dark flames, attacking the Thunder Beast Guard from another direction.
Du Sha Wang and Nan Yun Wang were trying to collect the Heaven-Binding Golden Lock and the Earth-Imprisoning Divine Ring while simultaneously surrounding the Thunder Beast Warriors, hoping to obtain both.
At that moment, lightning struck Jin Geng's head and collided with the golden seal, unleashing a terrifying killing intent in Jin Geng's fury! (End of Chapter)
