Prince Tianyu and Jin Chongyun showed expressions of joy upon seeing the arrival of these two men. They leapt forward, stepping up to land in front of the two elders, and called out, “Elder Yutian (Elder Chonghuang)!”
The two elders nodded at the two men respectively, and then asked, “Prince, Purple Dragon Mountain can indeed birth immortal materials, but are you certain they are emerging at this very moment?”
Prince Tianyu nodded and said, “There is an eighty percent chance! Under normal circumstances, Purple Dragon Mountain would not produce a barrier. Only when the rules are highly active can it induce the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to autonomously form a barrier. Moreover, the most important thing is the beast tide. To control such a large number of fierce beasts, there must be a peerless demon beast of the level that defies the creation of heaven and earth in control. Something that can attract the attention of such a demon beast is absolutely not an ordinary item. Even if it is not an immortal material, it is likely another peerless supreme treasure.”
Yutian and Chonghuang nodded, their gazes turning towards Purple Dragon Mountain, and pointed their fingers. A beam of light shot out, and sure enough, the power they emitted was blocked by a barrier.
“It seems that after a hundred years, an item of sacred grade has appeared on Purple Dragon Mountain again. It might even be an immortal material!” The two elders glanced at each other. Although they belonged to different factions, they knew each other well. “This time, I am afraid we will have to fight once again.”
“Hahaha… do you think I am afraid of you, old man?” Chonghuang laughed loudly. “This time, we shall see who will emerge victorious!”
“Chonghuang, Yutian, you two old men have surprisingly not died yet. Haha, how could I forget to share good things with this old man?” A loud noise suddenly erupted in the void. Following this loud noise, space cracked open again. With this explosion, an old man dressed in black robes walked out. The old man stood with his hands behind his back. Although he had no fierce beast mount or means of transport, just standing there quietly gave off an immense pressure. The three of them each occupied a corner, resonating with heaven and earth. The frequency of heaven and earth fluctuated endlessly at this moment, making everyone feel extremely uncomfortable as their hearts vibrated with the frequency of heaven and earth.
Some cultivators could not withstand it and fainted directly, continuously coughing up blood from their mouths.
Ye Chu watched a king faint right beside him like this, and his heart was shocked by the terror of these experts who defied the creation of heaven and earth. If a king fainted just from being unable to bear the frequency with which they influenced heaven and earth, how formidable would they be if they truly unleashed their strength.
Xiang Ting looked at the arriving old man, her face lighting up with great joy. She leapt forward, landing in front of the old man, and bowed respectfully, saying, “Xiang Ting pays her respects to Elder Linu.”
Linu glanced at Xiang Ting and said with a smile, “So it was you, little doll, who sent back the message. Not bad. We have not seen each other for a few years, and you have actually cultivated to the peak of the seventh level. Given time, you might even surpass this old man.”
“Elder, you flatter me!” Xiang Ting bowed and stepped back behind Linu, saying nothing more.
“Linu, since you old man are still around, how could we bear to die?” Chonghuang scolded, looking at Linu. “What? Does your Heavenly Sky Pavilion also have an interest in the thing appearing on Purple Mountain?”
“Just like you, it is my personal interest. My lifespan is coming to an end, so I am seeing if there is any opportunity to extend my life,” Linu said with a smile.
Chonghuang and Yutian snorted, their gazes turning towards Purple Mountain, and then said, “I heard there is a terrifying beast tide here, which should be controlled by a demon beast of the level that defies the creation of heaven and earth. How about we join forces to deal with them first?”
“That is only right!” Linu said to the two with a smile, and then turned to Xiang Ting, saying, “If Purple Mountain is truly birthing something, it will be fraught with danger inside. Do not step into it easily. There are many ways to cultivate, and you do not necessarily have to take risks.”
“Understood!” Xiang Ting replied.
The three of them stepped towards the barrier. Just as they were about to reach it, a figure shot over from the distance. The appearance of this figure made Ye Chu feel extremely surprised.
The newcomer was none other than Elder Fox from Fox Mountain. Ye Chu had been schemed against by him once before, and the memory was still fresh in his mind.
“He actually came here too!” Ye Chu suddenly thought of something and looked down at his chest. However, the little fox was still nestled in his dantian, fast asleep.
“Old fox, you actually came too. Your news is quite well informed. I wonder if the rumour that the old madman shaved a hundred years off your lifespan is true? Hahaha…” Chonghuang laughed loudly, looking at Elder Fox with a look of schadenfreude.
Elder Fox’s face turned iron green, and he snorted coldly, saying, “If you ran into that old madman, you would not fare much better. What is there to laugh about? If you have the ability, let alone scheming against his disciple, if you dare to curse him a few times in front of us right now, I will submit to you.”
Elder Fox’s words made Chonghuang’s face flush red, as if he had swallowed a fly, and his laughter stopped abruptly. This made Elder Fox reveal even more contempt.
Elder Fox ignored him and looked at Linu, saying, “You old man are full of vigour. It seems you will die later than us.”
“Senior, you flatter me. Back then, I could not withstand ten moves under your hand. I have always wanted to learn from you again. I wonder if there is still a chance?” Linu said, looking at Elder Fox with a smile.
“After this trip to Purple Dragon Mountain is over, I will give you the chance,” Elder Fox said. “However, even if my lifespan has been reduced by a hundred years, I am still not someone you can shake.”
“Tsk…”
Chonghuang scoffed, snorting disdainfully through his nose, “Old men love to rely on their seniority the most. It is still uncertain who is stronger than whom. Yutian, do not talk nonsense with this old man. Let us act together and rush up Purple Mountain first. As for who is strong and who is weak, we will just fight it out when we seize the treasure.”
Following Chonghuang’s words, all four of them walked towards the barrier. The reformed barrier blocked the four of them. The four of them did not speak, but each made a move, pressing their palms against the barrier. They did not unleash any imposing momentum, yet just by pressing against it like this, cracks appeared on the barrier. The cracks spread across the barrier like a spider web, and the barrier collapsed with a loud crash.
This scene made many cultivators click their tongues in secret, thinking that these experts who defied the creation of heaven and earth were indeed overwhelmingly strong. The barrier they had previously been unable to shake even a little bit with their combined efforts was actually broken open so easily with a single palm strike by the other party.
The four of them broke through the barrier and stepped into Purple Mountain. Their speed was very fast, and in a short time, they leapt and climbed up to the mountainside. However, just as they climbed up to the mountainside, the earth shaking beast tide appeared. Ten thousand beasts galloped, charging towards the four of them.
“Just a bunch of beasts, yet they are delusional enough to block our path,” a few of them said disdainfully. As they spoke, the power in their bodies surged out, resonating with heaven and earth. A massive round shield appeared in front of them. The shield blocked their front. The beast tide charged forward and crashed into the round shield. The fierce beasts were blocked and simultaneously blasted into a bloody mess by the rebounding force. They were then trampled to pieces by the fierce beasts charging from behind, and their blood stained Purple Mountain red.
The four of them just stood there, as if they had forcefully severed the beast herd. Behind them, a long path was left, like water crashing against an obstacle, leaving a blank space beneath the obstacle.
The fierce beasts continued to crash endlessly against the round shield, their heads shattering directly upon impact. The fierce beasts came forward in an endless succession. Although they seemed to engulf the four of them, the four stood firmly in place. Their terrifying strength was fully revealed at this moment.
