The Great Wild God - Chapter 279
Chapter 279 Seal
The Ce Tian Manor only dispatched people to Tu Shan to seal the spatial rift of the Thousand Devil Realm from the Marquises of the Northwest Prefectures, but that didn’t mean that the sects couldn’t enter Tu Shan to exterminate the devil.
The matter of the seal was still top secret. Few people in Divine Night Sect knew about it, and God-controller Mansion had ordered the news to leak out to prevent the remnants of the Thousand Devil Sect from noticing it. However, no matter how much the news was sealed, it could not be sealed off to Chen Xun’s side.
The fact that the remnants of the Thousand Devil Sect had sneaked into Cloud Continent was something Chen Xun had noticed and reported to the sect. It was also because Chen Xun had obtained the exact location of the spatial rift in the Thousand Demon Realm and the detailed terrain of the underground mystery from the memory fragment of the Demonic Snake’s origin soul.
Chen Xun and the others were unable to interfere in the Heavenly Policy Manor. Once the spatial rift in the Thousand Demons Realm was sealed, the black-clothed man, Qing Yangzi, and the Yishan Sect would secretly join the Thousand Demons Sect, and the cultivators of the Devil Arts would definitely react immediately.
Two months later, Bai Xuehao had arrived at the Flaming Cloud Ridge on the upper reaches of the White Wolf River.
Chen Xun was standing at the peak of the Absolute Mountain Range when the once-in-a-decade cold wave descended to the south. If he didn’t use his strength to defend against it, he could still feel the bone-piercing chill.
Flaming Cloud Ridge, the entire mountain was covered in chu red rock formations. From afar, it seemed to merge with Tu Shan’s Heavenly Flame, as if it was covered with a layer of magnificent Heavenly Flame flowing clouds.
If it was any other Heaven Origin Realm expert, they would not be stingy with the slightest bit of spirit energy to resist the cold current. Chen Xun wore a thick azure-black robe outside Yun Chen’s armor, and his bright eyes were like lightning as he stared at the distant Heavenly Flame.
It was as if a strand of wind was blowing past, and the eternal Tu Shan Heavenly Flame was experiencing an extremely slight disturbance.
If Chen Xun hadn’t known the exact direction of the spatial rift in the Thousand Devil Realm long ago, and if he hadn’t come here every day to observe the changes in the Heavenly Flame during the past month, with his cultivation at the Heavenly Yuan Realm, it would have been extremely difficult for him to discover the slightest change.
Su Tang also saw the slight change and asked, “Is the sealing array activated?”
“Probably.” Zhao Cheng’en knitted his brows. The life and death dangers he had encountered in his entire life were extraordinary. At this moment, he nervously held the Demon Slaying Sword in his hand.
In the valley behind them, more than a hundred disciples from Azure Water College, Qingwu Ridge, Myriad Streams Valley, and Cuihu Lake were waiting in formation. They did not know what was happening in the depths of Tu Mountain, but they could feel a depressed and nervous atmosphere on Chen Xun, Zhao Chengen, Chang Xi, Su Tang, Su Shousi, and Gu Chengzhuo’s faces.
Using the Heaven and Earth Array to seal the spatial rift, the movement of Heaven absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi when activated would definitely not be small.
Tu Shan’s Heavenly Flame was more than ten thousand feet above the formation. If the formation started to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it would definitely absorb a large amount of Heavenly Flames and Demonic Fiends.
God-controller Mansion had gathered a dozen or more Dharma Adepts from the core sect of Cloud Continent to refine a Heaven and Earth Array. However, it was still unknown whether this Heaven and Earth Array could withstand the impact of a huge amount of Heavenly Flames and Demonic Fiends, and whether it could seal the spatial rift smoothly.
If he failed, the Thousand Devil Realm would not only be unable to seal the spatial rift in Cloud Continent, but it would also be able to expand further, and it would even tear Tu Shan, who was four to five thousand kilometers long, into pieces at his waist.
The disturbance of the Heavenly Flame rapidly expanded. It was as if endless thunder was rolling within the Heavenly Flame. Very quickly, a faint vibration came from underground. The birds and beasts were startled. The gray sparrows that were unique to the Pengpeng Azure Water rose densely like dark clouds from the dense forest of mountains.
The Flame Cloud Ridge had already penetrated about 1,500 kilometers into the Tu Mountain. Chen Xun and the others were standing at the outer edge of the Heavenly Flames that covered the Absolute Mountain Ridge. The spatial rift was still more than 1,000 kilometers away from them.
Even the birds and beasts of the Flame Cloud Ridge sensed the tremors coming from such a distance. It could be seen just how much activity the Heaven and Earth Spell Formation had caused.
The sound of thunder gradually stabilized within the Heavenly Flames, indicating that the Heaven and Earth Array was already steadily absorbing the Heavenly Flames, but the tremors from underground were stronger than before.
Su Shousi, Su Junyuan, and the others looked at each other, but Chen Xun and the others knew that the Thousand Devil Sect at the other end of the spatial rift must have sensed it, and they were doing their utmost to prevent the spatial rift from being sealed.
If there were no Nirvana Realm experts, they would also need pure Yang Dao artifacts or Heaven and Earth Arrays to break through the spatial barrier.
The Thousand Devil Realm took over the spatial rift in Cloud Continent. If it was really caused by the remnants of the Thousand Devil Sect, then there was a heaven and earth formation on the other side of the spatial rift.
Now, it was up to the Thousand Devil Sect to see if the formation that broke through the spatial barrier was even stronger, or if the formation that sealed the spatial rift on Cloud Continent was even stronger.
“Sealing the spatial rift is easier. If the Heaven and Earth Spell Formation set up by the remnants of the Thousand Devil Sect can form a stable spatial passage, it is impossible to send one or two people over. Let’s get ready to enter the mountain.” Zhao Cheng’en turned around and said to Chen Xun.
“Let’s wait a bit longer.” Chen Xun said.
At present, only one black-clothed person could be confirmed to be the remnant of the Thousand Devil Sect’s infiltration into Cloud Continent, while Yang Zhu, Yi Qingquan, Qing Yangzi, and the others were all recruited by the black-clothed person after they infiltrated Cloud Continent.
It could be seen that the Heaven and Earth Array set up by the Thousand Devil Sect on the other side of the spatial rift would not be any stronger.
However, at the other end of the spatial rift, not only was the remnants of the Thousand Devil Sect that simple, even God-controller Mansion did not know of the existence of the Innate God Devil Qian Yu Bone.
If Gan Yu Gu attacked this time, the Heaven and Earth magical artifacts refined by the Heaven Policy Manor would probably not be much stronger than paper.
Unless he was sure that the spatial rift was completely sealed, Chen Xun would not bring everyone into the depths of the Absolute Ridge covered in flames to die.
After a long time, the thunder in the sky flames gradually died down, and the disturbance of the sky flames was weakening. At the same time, the vibrations coming from underground were gradually weakening, indicating that the spatial crack in the seal was gradually coming to an end.
Chen Xun nodded, indicating that he was ready to move. Zhao Cheng’en waved his hand at the back of the mountain.
Three flying boats soared into the sky, and five refined copper chariots also galloped up the Jueling Ridge from both sides …
This time, Chen Xun invited Zhao Chengen, Chang Xi, Gu Chengzhuo, and the Su Clan to gather a total of more than 160 Reincarnation Realm disciples, waiting for the moment the spatial rift was completely sealed, to enter Mount Tu to exterminate the magical creatures hiding in the depths of the Western Ridge.
It was impossible to get close to the liveliness of the Heavenly Palace, but the magical creatures in the Tu Shanxi Ridge had accumulated more than ten thousand over the years. Whether it was the body of a demonic creature or the Demonic Fiend Blood Pill, they were all excellent cultivation resources. As for Yi Qingquan, the evidence of his fall into the Devil Dao was conclusive. After that, they would attack Yi Shan Sect and exterminate Yi Qingquan. They would definitely be able to dig another piece of meat from Yi Shan Sect.
Although they could not compare to Mansion of Marquis Martial in terms of profit this time, they would still be able to get a share of the profits.
However, just as Chen Xun was beginning to calculate, a sudden tremor came from underground. The distant mountains and mountains were like turbulent waves, as if the entire space had been violently torn apart!
Mountains and earth collapsed!
The thousands of feet tall mountain collapsed like a building block in front of him!
Following which, violent fluctuations of elemental energy followed. The flying ship that had already floated up in the air seemed to violently shake in the vast ocean …
Chen Xun’s heart felt as if it had been violently beaten. He didn’t expect that at this last moment, the worst would still happen.
“Retreat!” Chen Xun cried out in panic.
Zhao Cheng’en, Chang Xi, and the others knew that an unexpected upheaval had occurred. They were currently standing at the outer edge of the Heavenly Flame. No one could predict how such intense fluctuations in elemental energy would cause the Heavenly Flame to change. The only thing they could do was to retreat as far away as possible …
Fortunately, this trip was conservative. Chen Xun and the others had only brought over a hundred Reincarnation Realm disciples out. They were very far away from the place where the tremor occurred. In the span of an incense stick of time, they had retreated a hundred miles away. Turning around, they saw that the place where they had just stood had been ruthlessly flipped through by a huge iron plow. The rock stratum was as fragile as powder.
No one knew what kind of drastic change had taken place in the depths of the Absolute Mountain Ridge. The sky flames that covered the Absolute Mountain Ridge were like boiling seas of flames that were completely activated and wildly swept towards the spatial rift.
“How could this be?” Su Junyuan asked in shock.
“Someone at the Nirvana Realm must have forcefully rushed to the continent, causing the heavens and earth to shatter and the heavenly flames to move!” Zhao Cheng’en was shocked. However, he couldn’t believe it himself. It had only been 4,000 years since the remnants of the Thousand Devil Sect left Cloud Continent. How could a True Monarch Nirvana Realm figure appear?
As if to confirm Zhao Cheng’en’s words, an earth-shattering roar of a dragon swept over like a hurricane.
Chen Xun, Chang Xi, Zhao Cheng’en, and Su Shou Si were all filled with panic as they soared into the sky. In the blink of an eye, they flew into the sky against the extreme cold wind. At this moment, the sky flames were like an orange-red vortex that covered a radius of two to three thousand kilometers above the Tu Mountain. A gigantic two-headed demonic dragon was struggling out from the center of the vortex …
The demonic dragon was so huge that its ferocious head was ten kilometers in radius.
Even though it was thousands of miles away, the monstrous demonic aura emitted by the demonic dragon made everyone’s hearts skip a beat.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xun was also stunned. Did Qian Yu Gu really barge into Cloud Continent like this?
Zhao Chengen, Su Shousi, Su Tang, and Gu Chengzhuo were so scared that they almost swallowed their tongues.
They were all experts who had advanced into the Heaven Origin Realm, but before the monstrous devil flame aura swept over them, their souls were as weak as candles in the wind. Even if they were thousands of kilometers away, they could be blown out at any time, and there was not the slightest bit of confidence in their hearts to resist this.
How could all devils that could break through the void and withstand the refinement of the Heavenly Flames be Xiantian Fiendgods above the Nirvana Realm or even at the Burning Heaven Realm?
The devil’s ferocious head hung down and sucked in a fierce breath. Countless tiny black shadows were swallowed by the devil dragon along with the endless Heavenly Flames.
Chen Xun’s divine soul had reached the Divine Sense stage from the Spiritual Sense stage. His eyesight was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Aside from the Heavenly Dipper Profound Demon, there was practically no trace of dust above the Heavenly Flames. He could see that thousands of human and beast had been swallowed into the belly of the demonic dragon with a single swallow.
The explosive light was just a futile struggle by the experts of the Heavenly Policy Manor.
Even the Heaven and Earth Spell Formation was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of the Xiantian Fiendgods and Devils. It could not withstand a single blow. The forces that the Ce Tian Prefecture had mobilized from the Marquises of the Prefectures were the strongest. How could they have the slightest bit of struggle in front of the demonic dragon?
Chen Xun didn’t have the slightest bit of schadenfreude in his heart. If there weren’t any experts who could stop the Vast Heavens Devil Tribulation from appearing, it would sweep through the entire Cloud Continent, and no one would be spared.
The sects of Cloud Continent counted the hidden world experts. The strongest was only at the peak of the Heavenly Human Realm. Even though several True Monarchs of Nirvana had appeared in the past tens of thousands of years, they were all traveling outside the realm. Now, who could stand out and turn the tide?
If they could gather all of the Empyrean True Monarchs of the various sects, they might be able to fight against this Xiantian Fiendgod. However, over the years, the various sects had many conflicts and divergences. Who had the prestige to gather the Empyrean True Monarchs of the entire Cloud Continent to lead this great war of extermination?
Chen Xun’s consciousness seed blossomed brightly in his heart, able to resist the suppression of the demonic flames on his divine soul. Chang Xi’s body was filled with faint spiritual light. Her beautiful eyebrows knitted slightly as she stared at the demonic dragon. Su Shousi, Zhao Chengen, and the others only had one thought left in their hearts. It was to flee for their lives, as far as they could escape …
