Chapter 726 - 725: The Invincible Venerable Yin Mountain!
Venerable Yin Mountain has always been ruthless and unpredictable, something everyone has long experienced. Even without appearing in person, he used a few tricks to make the cultivators within the Withered Forest turn on each other, reducing their numbers by eighty percent!
Now.
He has sealed this entire area, cutting off all hope of survival.
How could everyone not be shocked, not be afraid?
"Boom!"
Xu Hao slammed his head against the barrier, immediately feeling dizzy and almost breaking his head open. On the other side, Yuan Chong punched with all his might, but the barrier did not budge.
Most people could only stare blankly at the massive barrier.
"What is this?"
Countless people cried out in pain.
They saw it.
This bowl-shaped barrier pressed down like a huge canopy, covering this land, with a range of several tens of miles. It not only encompassed the entire Death Valley but also included most of the Withered Forest!
What kind of technique is this!
"Everyone, don’t panic, this is just a Sealing Shock Array, if we work together, we can break it!"
A Green-robed Evil Cultivator of the Human Immortal Fourth Layer quickly shouted.
This evil cultivator was called Cold Prison.
He was the Great Elder of the Celestial Dragon Sect. After Xiao Qi’an’s death, he was now the strongest among them. Once he spoke, everyone immediately felt they found their backbone. They quickly formed hand seals, unleashing their cultivation powers, and various martial and magical techniques poured out furiously.
Even.
Disciples from Taotian Palace and Daluo Sect, at this moment, put aside their sect prejudices and attacked together.
Over a hundred Human Immortals made their move, the power was terrifying, like ten thousand thunderbolts pouring down at once. It was as if thousands of cannons were going off, exploding madly, hitting the barrier in an instant.
So many attacks, it would be enough to flatten the Withered Forest three or four times over, but amidst the dust and angry flames, the barrier did not budge.
"How is this possible?"
Seeing this scene, everyone’s eyes almost popped out.
However, Venerable Yin Mountain laughed loudly:
"Do you think you can break the barrier?"
You see.
This array was built using a Broken Secret Realm to seal and suppress this piece of heaven and earth. The array’s core was himself; as long as he lived, no matter how many enemies there were, they wouldn’t necessarily be able to break it.
"In that case, let’s kill you!"
Cold Prison’s eyes flashed.
Seeing this situation, he knew there was no escaping, no avoiding. Even though he was unwilling, he had no choice but to fight to the death. He stomped hard with his foot, his whole body shot out like a rocket.
Swoosh!
At this point, several figures had already moved with the wind, rushing towards Venerable Yin Mountain.
But.
Before they could approach!
Crash!
They saw the Yin Evil Qi surging from the Death Valley behind Venerable Yin Mountain, and there was a sound of giant creatures crawling. Just hearing the noise of trees and rocks being crushed could make one guess the enormity of the creature.
Bang!
In the midst of flying qi glimmers, a ghastly white figure shot out like a bolt of lightning, sweeping across with a gust of wind.
"Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!"
Several evil cultivators, unable to dodge, were instantly struck and exploded, blood raining down madly. Cold Prison’s body let out cracking noises on the spot, likely shattering half of his bones and internal organs.
Amid the horrified glances of everyone, he spat out a mouthful of blood, shooting back like an arrow off the string. His body smashed through dozens of ancient trees, landing heavily on the ground, barely clinging to life.
"What is that?"
Everyone gasped, looking on in astonishment.
They saw.
A massive Bone Flood Dragon slowly withdrew its giant tail, its enormous body snuggling up to Venerable Yin Mountain like a pet. Seeing the Bone Flood Dragon’s form, everyone’s pupils contracted.
This Bone Flood Dragon was even larger than the one Ye Qingchen had slain before. Its entire body seemed forged of white jade, crystalline and flawless. In its deep eye sockets, two flames burned fiercely.
But.
The fierce flames did not bring any warmth; instead, they felt increasingly icy cold. The terrifying chill swept through everyone in an instant.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Seeing the Bone Flood Dragon’s appearance, everyone turned pale and stepped backwards. That last glimmer of hope in their hearts vanished with the appearance of the Bone Flood Dragon.
"What do we do now!"
"Venerable Yin Mountain alone is difficult enough to deal with, and now there’s a Bone Flood Dragon..."
"It’s over, it’s over! Are we really going to die here?"
The more timid evil cultivators were trembling with fear, crying out.
And then the next scene.
Made everyone’s blood run cold.
Venerable Yin Mountain opened his mouth, and the blood of the previously slain Human Immortals began to gather under a powerful suction. Even the barely alive Cold Prison wasn’t spared, his blood drained instantly, turning him into a mummified corpse.
To the shock of all present, the blood formed a river, spun in the air, and was swallowed by him.
After consuming the blood, Venerable Yin Mountain let out a comforted moan towards the sky. His cold and sinister gaze slowly swept around.
Wherever his gaze landed, everyone immediately lowered their heads deeply, not daring to meet his eyes.
Too terrifying!
Too dreadful!
This was the top-level Earth Immortal Venerable Yin Mountain, who had shaken the region hundreds of years ago, rolling heads by the thousands. Those evil cultivators with notorious reputations in front of him were as docile as lambs.
Until finally.
Venerable Yin Mountain’s gaze slowly turned, landing on Ye Qingchen, smiling seemingly amused:
"Have you made up your mind?"
"If you obediently offer up your body, my previous promise still stands! I can allow you to keep your soul, even accept you as my disciple, and find a suitable body for you in the future!"
There was an uproar.
To survive, what does it matter to offer up one’s body? What’s more, there’s a chance to become Venerable Yin Mountain’s disciple, something evil cultivators wouldn’t even dare to dream of.
"If it were me, I’d agree! What’s a body compared to complete annihilation of the soul!"
Someone beat their chest, even envying why Venerable Yin Mountain didn’t choose them.
"Unfortunately, Venerable Yin Mountain wouldn’t even look at us... Any wise person knows what choice to make!"
Many felt despair in their hearts.
But unfortunately.
Ye Qingchen was clearly not the wise one they imagined.
He slowly raised his head, meeting Venerable Yin Mountain’s gaze:
"Do you know why I came here, knowing you were here?"
"Why?" Venerable Yin Mountain asked, amused.
"To kill you!"
After he spoke.
Ye Qingchen suddenly took a step forward and shouted:
"Starry!"
In an instant.
As if commanded by the Sword God.
They saw the Star Sword on his back unsheathe with a clang, engulfed in infinite starlight, swiftly flying into Ye Qingchen’s hand. In a flash, a proud Sword Qi shot straight to the sky, piercing through the heavens!
