The Great Wild God - Chapter 177

Chapter 177 Fire Phoenix Flame Sea Formation
(Third, Chen Xun saw the giant fire bird soaring into the sky. Its flame-shaped wings were thirty to forty meters wide. It was like a fire phoenix bathed in flames. It opened its mouth and spat out countless rains of fire, instantly drowning the gorge.

Chen Xun saw that the gazes of both sides were attracted to the canyon. He crawled out of the stream and dodged into the bushes on the shore. Only then did he see the ancient bronze mirror that had attacked him. At this moment, it was suspended above the canyon, and a several zhang radius spirit light shield was stretched out to block the rain of fire spraying out from the sky.

However, there were still five cultivators in the Thousand Swords Sect who had no time to hide in the ancient bronze mirror shield and could only use their magic tools to support themselves.

The fire bird that gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth spat out a rain of fire that seemed endless. The five cultivators would soon be unable to hold on and let out a miserable scream, dying in the sea of fire.

Chen Xun didn’t know what kind of flame the Fire Bird was spitting out. It was still burning on the bare stone ridge, as if it had ignited all the rocks. The hundred-meter-wide valley was already a sea of flames, and the Fire Bird continued to spray fire rain in mid-air.

A moment later, the shield opened by the ancient bronze mirror began to shake, seemingly unable to hold on.

The one who used the ancient bronze mirror as a magical artifact was a late Reincarnation Realm cultivator from the Thousand Swords Sect. He wore a long azure-black robe. Under the light of the fire, his face was twisted and ferocious. It looked like he had destroyed the Spiritual Energy to the extreme, allowing the ancient bronze mirror to open such a large shield.

He grabbed the spell with one hand and kept the ancient bronze mirror hanging above the canyon. With the other hand, he desperately stuffed medicinal pills into his mouth to maintain the consumption of spiritual energy.

Everyone knew that once the shield released by the ancient bronze mirror was broken, no one would be able to survive in this storm of flames.

Although the other Thousand Sword Sect cultivators constantly used magic tools and spells to help this person share the pressure, ordinary magic tools and defensive spells couldn’t last for a moment in the rain of fire …

Seeing this, Chen Xun realized that he and the other bitter slaves were merely bait cannon fodder to cover for the middle-aged scholar to sneak into the Scarlet Maple Forest. The six fortress-guarding cultivators sent by Qiyun Mountain had long since moved the true core formation eyes of the Scarlet Maple Fort Fortress Formation into the Scarlet Maple Forest near the canyon.

The disciples of Qiyun Mountain were sure that the Thousand Sword Sect would attack again and launch an attack on Crimson Maple Fort in the direction of the valley. The middle-aged scholar wanted to use this opportunity to cross into the Crimson Maple Forest to control the formation nearby and use the Firebird Forcible Attack Technique to capture all the cultivators of the Thousand Sword Sect in one fell swoop.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the formation was continuously absorbing spiritual energy from the underground Spiritual Springs of Scarlet Maple Fort, Chen Xunshi wouldn’t have imagined that a cultivator in the middle embryonic stage would be able to execute such a massive Flame Fire Technique for such a long time.

Most of the Thousand Sword Sect cultivators took out their strongest magic tools and attacked the shield of Crimson Maple Castle. Who would have thought that the greatest threat would occur at their armpits? Before they could withdraw their magic tools, they were caught off guard.

While the Thousand Sword Sect cultivators were caught off guard, the three Qiyun Mountain disciples in Crimson Maple Fort took advantage of the chaos to shatter and drop more than ten magical artifacts above Crimson Maple Fort without any hesitation. Less than half of the magical artifacts were retrieved by the Thousand Sword Sect cultivators.

The wandering cultivators of the Thousand Swords Sect also realized that they were caught in the trap. The azure-black robed cultivator opened the bronze mirror and the dozen other cultivators along with the Imperial Spirit Sword flew towards the fire bird that was spraying fire rain.

Dozens of spirit swords were constantly moving. Although two or three spirit swords were destroyed by the rain of fire, the other spirit swords exploded with a dozen huge sword lights when they approached the fire bird, instantly shredding the fire bird into pieces.

At this moment, another giant fire bird soared into the sky and pounced over the canyon in the Crimson Maple Forest.

The cultivators of the Thousand Swords Sect also knew that the greatest threat was hidden in the Crimson Maple Forest. They immediately ignored the fire bird that had soared into the sky and used their spirit swords together to turn into violent sword lights to slash towards the Crimson Maple Forest.

Clumps of intense light hundreds of times more violent than fireworks flashed along with thunder, growing on the banks of the Stone Stream for countless years. In the blink of an eye, the Crimson Maple Forest was completely destroyed.

He saw eight bottles of fire phoenix bronze statues standing beside the three cultivators of Mount Qiyun, spitting out dozens of small fire birds that were only one or two meters wide. They formed a ring of fire birds above the Crimson Maple Forest, blocking dozens of spirit swords from entering.

“He actually hid the Fire Phoenix Flame Sea Formation within the Four Fiends Formation! In order to defend the Eye Spirit Spring, Qiyun Mountain has really gone all out!” The Thousand Sword Sect’s black-robed old man couldn’t help but gasp when he saw the true face of the Crimson Maple Forest.

“My Qiyun Mountain has taken root here for a hundred years. The Thousand Sword Sect has provoked you in every way. Today, I will not leave your lives behind and give the Thousand Sword Sect a bit of color. I will only treat my Qiyun Mountain as easy to bully.” The middle-aged scholar of Qiyun Mountain shouted coldly. He urged the Fire Bird in his hand to approach the canyon without the slightest delay.

“Pei, Mount Qiyun is extremely shameless. Taking advantage of the internal strife of our Thousand Sword Sect, we will seize the Scarlet Maple Mountain and many ore veins in Yunzhong Prefecture. However, the Scarlet Maple Tombstone was erected by the nine forefathers of our Thousand Sword Sect a thousand years ago. Everyone knows about it. Do you really think that you can take this Eye Spirit Spring as your own after destroying the monument erected by the nine forefathers of our Thousand Sword Sect in the past hundred years?” The veins on the forehead of the black-robed elder of the Thousand Swords Sect were exposed. It was unknown if he was angry, or if he was forced by the Fire Bird to release his Spiritual Energy to its limit.

“If the Thousand Swords Sect has the ability, then come and snatch it away. Why are you talking so much nonsense!” The middle-aged scholar of Qiyun Mountain shouted coldly.

Chen Xun hadn’t expected that the Thousand Sword Sect and Qiyun Mountain would have a grudge that had been entangled behind them for a hundred years. This was no wonder. He had been a bitter slave hiding in Crimson Maple Castle, so the disciples of Qiyun Mountain in the castle naturally wouldn’t expose their sect’s scandals and ask him to eavesdrop.

Looking at this situation, the Thousand Sword Sect thought that they would be able to recapture Crimson Maple Castle if they blocked experts above the Heavenly Origin Realm of Mount Qiyun from the sect. They did not expect that Mount Qiyun would already have a plan and set up a Fire Phoenix Flame Sea Formation in the Crimson Maple Castle, waiting for the disciples of the Thousand Sword Sect to be caught off guard.

Two Thousand Sword Sect cultivators were furious at the arrogance of the middle-aged scholar. Seeing that the Firebird hadn’t yet approached the canyon, they took advantage of the gap to turn into a flowing shadow and flew out. They took out their spirit swords and turned into a violent sword light that was more than ten zhang long before heading towards the Fire Phoenix Flame Sea Formation.

As for the Fire Bird Ring that stopped above the Scarlet Maple Forest, it swiftly split out two Fire Birds and shot towards the two Thousand Sword Sect disciples.

The Thousand Sword Sect disciples brandished their swords and shattered the two fire birds. However, after the two fire birds were shattered, they did not disappear. Instead, they turned into two rains of fire that covered the heads of the two Thousand Sword Sect disciples.

The Diamond Profound Symbols cast by these two Thousand Sword Sect disciples only lasted for a breath of time before they were caught in the rain of fire.

Chen Xun was also shocked when he saw this scene. The power of the fire bird’s flame was truly not beneath the Cyan Flame Lotus Flame. He felt that this Fire Phoenix Flame Sea Formation was truly mysterious and unfathomable. No wonder the expressions of the Thousand Swords Sect cultivators changed drastically when they saw it.

The Thousand Sword Sect’s black-clothed old man knew that he was carrying a big somersault this time. If he didn’t pay attention, the entire army would probably be annihilated. His expression changed as he held his finger and hit his chest. He spat out a mouthful of life essence true blood and spat out a mouthful of bronze mirror above his head. The bronze mirror shone brightly, abandoning the gigantic fire bird that was pressing towards the sea of fire phoenix flames.

The Fire Phoenix Flame Sea Formation was placed on top of the Spiritual Spring. There was an endless stream of Earth Vein Spiritual Energy that could be absorbed and consumed. Even the disciples of the Thousand Swords Sect would not be able to escape death. Only by directly attacking the main body of the Fire Phoenix Flame Sea Formation and preventing the formation from circulating would they have a sliver of hope of escaping from the Heavens.

After all, the Fire Phoenix Flame Sea Formation set up by the disciples of Qiyun Mountain in Scarlet Maple Fort was not Qiyun Mountain’s guardian array.

Without layers upon layers of small defensive formations, the Fire Phoenix Flame Sea Formation was directly exposed, and its attack was strong while its defense was weak, so it might not be able to destroy it.

Cooperating with the black-clothed old man’s strong attack, the disciples of the Thousand Sword Sect took out two more profound talismans that flickered with spiritual light and transformed into flowing shadows that sank into the stone ground. In the next instant, the earth shook. Chen Xun was unprepared, and his entire body almost jumped out of the bushes.

Chen Xun had learned the Earth-shaking Art, but he couldn’t make such a big commotion. He knew that the two profound talismans that the disciples of the Thousand Swords Sect had just thrown were definitely high-grade goods.

The Earth-shaking Talisman was unable to break the earth vein, but such a violent earthquake would definitely affect the spiritual energy supply of the underground spirit spring to the Fire Phoenix Flame Sea Formation. Under the pressure of the ancient bronze mirror, the dozen or so fire birds that resisted were indeed gradually dimming and showing signs of difficulty in maintaining their spiritual energy.

The middle-aged scholar of Mount Qiyun had no choice but to retreat the giant fire bird above the canyon and suppress the black-clothed old man’s bronze mirror magical artifact from the Thousand Swords Sect.

At this moment, the ancient bronze mirror exploded with a beam of light. A tremor ten times stronger than the Earth-shaking Art shook it. With the Crimson Maple Forest as the core, it rapidly spread out in all directions. Chen Xun felt like the stone ground was surging like a wave. He hurriedly used the Earth-shaking Rooting Art to prevent it from being thrown out by the tremendous force that spread along the ground …

Chen Xun’s expression paled in shock. He didn’t expect that the black-clothed old man would not hesitate to self-destruct his magical artifact and destroy the Fire Phoenix Flame Sea Formation first.

After the copper mirror exploded, the black-clothed old man also spat out a pool of black blood. He was extremely dispirited and had a young disciple of the Thousand Swords Sect support him before he did not fall to the ground.

These Thousand Sword Sect disciples took advantage of the fact that the eight Fire Phoenix Copper Pillars were temporarily unable to operate their formations and snatched them out of the canyon to attack the Crimson Maple Forest with their Imperial Spirit Swords.

The middle-aged scholar tossed away the purple fan with the azure jade handle in his hand. Black pillars of fire rolled out like crazy dragons, and their might was no weaker than a small fire bird. The Thousand Sword Sect disciples were unable to force their way into the Crimson Maple Forest for a moment.

At this moment, the three castle-guarding cultivators from Crimson Maple Castle, along with the guards and dozens of bitter slaves, also came out.

In a short span of ten breaths, the Fire Phoenix Flame Sea Formation resumed its operation. Firebirds spat out from the eight copper pillars of the Fire Phoenix and charged towards the disciples of the Thousand Swords Sect who were approaching the Crimson Maple Forest.

At this time, the disciples of the Thousand Sword Sect also knew that the general situation was over. They were scattered like beasts. However, the Fire Bird’s castration was as fast as a rocket. The disciples of the Thousand Sword Sect couldn’t avoid it and were all swallowed up by the fire ball.

When Chen Xun saw the Thousand Sword Sect youth fleeing towards him with the black-clothed old man in his arms, he cried out in his heart, but the situation did not allow him to hesitate.

At this moment, even if he killed the black-clothed old man, he would no longer be able to hide his tracks and gain the trust of the disciples of the Qiyun Sect. Chen Xun immediately took out his spirit sword from his spatial ring and slashed towards the fire bird that was chasing after him like a shadow.

Chen Xun released six Diamond Profound Arts in succession, forming protective spirit shields to block the rain of fire that could melt gold and break iron. He pulled the old man in black and the young disciple of the Thousand Swords Sect and ran wildly downstream of the Stone Stream …
