NOVEL NEXT Chapter 126: Moving the Mountain
The molten lava of the volcano rolled, and pillars of flame exploded.
Wu Jiu's expression was grim.
He initially intended to use his divine skills to fight Xie Xuanyi to the death... But after the Red Armored Demon spoke, the golden radiance that had already formed at the center of his brow dissipated.
Wu Jiu restrained the impulse to act.
The task given by the Heavenly Phoenix Palace and his personal grudges... He knew which was more important.
"Form the array!"
Nearby, the female Great Demon Dead Phoenix transmitted her voice, raising her hand to make a seal.
Two Yang God Great Demons joined forces to form the array.
The whole Jinli Mountain began to tremble, countless molten lava swayed... In an instant, thousands of brilliant Phoenix Flames emerged from the inner walls of the mountain, densely covering the walls like Buddhist Sanskrit!
Jiang Huang, sitting on the throne, showed a calm expression, the throne gently rising with the swaying molten lava.
She sat on the throne, overlooking the scene, comfortably enjoying the "support" of the two Yang God Great Demons.
"You... want to move the entire mountain?"
Xie Xuanyi frowned.
With the strength of these two Great Demons, taking Jiang Huang away wouldn't require such trouble.
The anchor point was already found.
With the gateway open, taking a person away would only take an instant.
Now, as they joined forces to form the array, it was obvious that Wu Jiu and Dead Phoenix wanted to take more than just "Jiang Huang" with them!
They intended to take the entire Jinli Mountain!
"Smart."
The Red Armored Demon "Chi Yuhuang" smiled and said, "This throne is the 'Supreme Treasure' of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, brought to the Human Race by Yuan Huang... With Yuan Huang's death and the fading of her Dao, what she left behind naturally should return to the Heavenly Phoenix Palace. So taking the throne is in line with the Heavenly Dao."
Over these years, the throne has fused with the underground lava, life intertwined, becoming one, hard to separate.
To take this throne away.
The easiest way now, ironically, is to take Jinli Mountain away.
It sounds ridiculous...
But it's indeed a fact.
Rumble!
As Chi Yuhuang's words fell, Dead Phoenix and Wu Jiu had already formed the Great Array, making the entire Jinli Mountain tremble, collapse, while gateways forged by golden light expanded continuously, the Phoenix Fire script climbing on rock walls seemed to come to life.
"Thinking of moving the mountain, it's not that easy."
Xie Xuanyi spoke solemnly.
He looked at the mountain wall beside him, directly unleashing Chen Ke!
The demon text spreading on this wall was precisely the array talisman for "moving the mountain", to prevent the Heavenly Phoenix Palace from taking Jinli Mountain, the simplest way was to destroy these array talismans.
The flying sword darted out.
The next moment, an invisible Dao Domain expanded—
Buzzing!
The entire volcanic underground, the world of lava, seemed frozen.
Chi Yuhuang crossed his arms, smiling at the scene, focusing his gaze on Chen Ke, the flying sword imbued with "Path of Destruction" was suppressed by a powerful Taoist Intent... forced to halt in mid-air.
"Young man... better take care of yourself first."
He spoke softly, stepping forward.
The sea of fire began to surge.
The task of forming the array was left to Wu Jiu and Dead Phoenix.
Now, his task was simple—
To eliminate Xie Xuanyi before Zhao Chunyang arrived!
These years, many geniuses have emerged from the Demon Country, but no matter how talented, there should be a limit.
Breaking through the Yang God Sky Barrier... can no longer be described with the word "genius".
Across the entire Demon Country.
Only one person can perform such an Immortal Trace.
Chi Yuhuang could hardly imagine that the Human Race World still has such a person.
This existence must not be allowed to grow!
"Fire Abyss Dao Domain?!"
The moment the Dao Domain spread.
Xie Xuanyi recognized the other's identity.
The top-tier Great Demons who have promoted to Yang God from the Demon Country, all who have acted have been recorded in the Book Tower with the [Roundness Instrument].
The Great Demon in front of him should be the third-ranking authority of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, titled Heaven-Burning Red Flame Venerable, also known as "Chi Fu Dragon Lord", who has comprehended and mastered the Abyss Sea Great Dao.
A cycle of 60 years ago, this Chi Huang Venerable had already reached the Fourth Realm of Yang God.
The difficulty of cultivation in the Yang God Realm is akin to ascending to heaven.
To climb even one realm higher requires enormous effort, heart, opportunity, and creation.
A 60-year cycle has passed.
Chi Fu Dragon Lord should have reached the Fifth Realm, at least the pressure from this Dao Domain wasn't below the Fifth Realm... According to the Book Tower's information, Chi Fu Dragon Lord's original form is a "swimming fish", residing for years in the underground lava, thus comprehending the "Abyss Sea Dao Intent", capable of transforming a circumference of several miles into a sea of molten lava upon release.
This is the reason why the Heavenly Phoenix Palace deployed him to Jinli Mountain.
Chi Fu Dragon Lord's Dao Domain perfectly fuses with Jinli Mountain—
Fighting here.
Forget Xie Xuanyi not having ascended yet, even switching a cultivator of the same realm, one couldn't gain even a slight advantage!
"Die for me!"
Chi Fu Dragon Lord's speed was incredibly fast, his voice hadn't dropped before he reached Xie Xuanyi, both hands converging, making a clean swift move, intending to crush the young Sword Cultivator's head directly!
"Swallowing Dao Scroll—"
Xie Xuanyi felt himself trapped in mud, unable to move.
This Fire Abyss Dao Domain had him pinned tightly.
Luckily there was the Swallowing Dao Scroll.
The Primordial Swallowing Divine Power successfully activated, shattering the Dao Domain imprisoning Xie Xuanyi in a split second, in that critical moment, he recalled the flying sword and expanded the Martial Arts Divine Embryo Dharma Form!
With a roar.
The Martial Arts Divine Embryo was extremely brave, facing the Fifth Realm Yang God Great Demon without a trace of fear, directly punching!
Chi Fu Dragon Lord gently exclaimed.
He was utterly surprised, seeing this Yin God Sword Cultivator could still move in his Dao Domain, and dared to counterattack—
Chi Fu Dragon Lord's palms descended.
The fist light released by the Divine Embryo was obliterated!
Chi Fu Daoist Monarch held nothing back as his Taoist Intent surged, tearing the entire Divine Embryo into fragments!
This strike did not hit empty.
Logically, obliterating the divine embryo should inflict severe damage, but Chi Fu Dragon Lord felt a twist of unease in his heart... Xie Xuanyi's "Golden Cicada Shedding", shockingly escaped a blow; he seemed unaffected by the divine embryo's destruction, adding to his speed rather than decreasing it.
"Such abundant vitality... Is this the Life Dao Realm?"
Chi Fu Dragon Lord frowned, looking upwards.
Seeing a figure in black, like a mayfly in a well, controlling a sword swiftly towards the mountain exit.
The shattered divine embryo regathered and reformed at an incredible speed.
For ordinary cultivators, an injury nearly "fatal", yet for Xie Xuanyi, it healed as easily as drinking water or breathing, restored in an instant!
"Trying to leave..."
Chi Fu Dragon Lord's killing intent arose.
He fiercely stamped the sea of fire, soaring upwards, disregarding the void gateway constructed behind him at Jinli Mountain.
Such a monstrous talent must not be allowed to continue cultivating!
Since he was leveraging the Heavenly Phoenix Palace's Great Array to reach the Human Race North Territory... he must ensure Xie Xuanyi remains in the Yin God Realm!
"... Arrived."
Xie Xuanyi did not look back, already knowing the pursuers were closing in.
The killing intent he sensed with his Heart Lake heavier, nearly coalescing into dark clouds.
Swoosh!
The flying sword darted out of Jinli Mountain.
Xie Xuanyi suspended in the air, cutting a slender object from within his sleeve, not a flying sword, but a blue-hued jade scroll.
Ruyi Order.
He whispered, transmitting Divine Thought.
"Take action!"
The next moment, Jinli Mountain spurted a turbid fire cloud, as the Chi Fu Dragon Lord, riding his Dao Domain in pursuit, formed a gesture before having the chance to unleash his divine skills, feeling a sudden darkness descend upon his Heart Lake.
Above the heavenly peak, within the turbid cloud top.
A man and a woman were already waiting patiently.
Chen Jingxuan's sleeves billowed.
Tang Fengshu's expression was cold.
A dharma form of the scholar in blue and the Female Heavenly Venerate attacked simultaneously.
Crash—
Countless golden lines descended from the mountain top, a "Golden Thread Cage" meticulously constructed long ago fell from the sky, tightly trapping him within, followed by a sharp Dao Sword, ruthlessly slashing downward through the cage's gaps!
