The Great Wild God - Chapter 313
Chapter 313 Frost Fiend
Chen Xun defied the snowstorm and floated towards the top of Tianzhu Peak.
The snow on the top of the mountain had already been frozen into ice by Frost Fiend.
Ordinary peaks, two to three thousand feet upwards, were covered with snow and glaciers, and would not last for many years.
Although Tu Shan was taller and steeper than Wu Shan, Gu Shan, Meng Shan, and other collateral mountain ranges, he didn’t know what ice and snow were when they covered the Heavenly Flames and the peaks of the Absolute Mountain Range all year round.
Eleven years ago, Tu Shan’s Heavenly Flame Sea shrunk by a thousand kilometers. The extreme mountains at the north and south ends of Tu Shan began to be covered with ice and snow, but in the area close to the Flame Sea, the climate was still hot.
After the sea of flames shattered, a cold wave occurred every ten years. Apart from the area covered by the Spiritual Vein Array and the Thousand Devil Sand overseas, the mountains north and south of Tianzhu Peak were all ice and snow worlds.
The dark, lead-like snow clouds covered the summit of Heavenly Pillar Peak like a large hood. The wild wind and snow covered his vision, and his divine sense was unable to penetrate far.
Chen Xun raised his head to look at the sky. This place was already the peak of Mount Tu’s Absolute Mountain Range. After advancing to the Heaven Origin Realm, he had never given up tempering his fleshly body. However, with his cultivation, standing at the peak of the Absolute Mountain Range of the Heavenly Pillar Peak, he still felt a bone-chilling chill. He knew that the vast majority of demons would not be able to endure the peak of the Absolute Mountain Ridge’s Absolute Mountain Ridge.
Chen Xun released the Winged Demon Scarlet Sea from the Void Origin Pearl.
“It’s so cold!” When Chi Hai came out of the Void Origin Pearl, he shivered and stretched out his enormous bone wings.
The Demon Ruins were a land of fierce flames and scarlet flames. The earth was torn apart and roasted everywhere. The higher demons didn’t even fear the burning of the Heavenly Flames, but their endurance towards the Frost Fiend was poor.
However, Chen Xun had long since refined the Crimson Sea Primordial Spirit into his Soul Essence. His current physiological sensation meant that he, who had not lost his spirit, had entered the Void Origin Pearl to absorb the Void Origin Spirit Qi and cultivate. The fusion speed of his spirit and flesh was much faster than that of the other puppet soldiers.
At this moment, snow and wind filled the sky. Daoist Primordial Core’s divine sense was greatly restricted. Chen Xun was worried that some magical creature would seize this opportunity to cross the Heavenly Pillar Peak’s defense line and flee to the hinterland of the northern foothills of Tu Shanxi to slaughter the barbarian tribesmen and devour their creatures.
“Nine Tribulations Body Refinement, not Frost Fiend. Heavenly Flames cannot temper the Golden Body. You have to endure this coldness.” Chen Xun stepped onto the Scarlet Sea’s bone wings. One man and one devil rose up from the peak of Heavenly Pillar Peak at an extremely high speed. They passed through the storm and ascended onto the snow clouds that were as gray as lead.
Zhao Cheng’en sat cross-legged high up in the air and guarded against the enemy. A huge mirror formed from a spell stopped right in front of his chest, monitoring the movements of plants and trees within the Thousand Devil Sand Sea.
Seeing Chen Xun come up to replace him, Zhao Cheng’en stood up and flicked his feet. He smiled and said, “If you can’t come any further, I’ll be frozen stiff here.”
Zhao Cheng’en’s cultivation was so high that he naturally wouldn’t be frozen. However, it also proved that he was extremely uncomfortable with such a high level of Pure Frost Fiend.
Chen Xun said to Zhao Cheng’en, “This year’s Frost Fiend is far superior to previous years. The demons will definitely be tired of it. From the Thousand Devil Sand Sea, from the broad valley on the west side of the Meng Mountain Sect, we can directly enter the lower ridge area where the temperature is relatively less fierce. We need to strengthen the defense of that wide valley …”
Zhao Cheng’en nodded. After the cold wave broke out, the peak of the Absolute Mountain Ridge of Tu Shan was filled with cold fiends. Those with a slightly lower cultivation level would not be able to withstand it. The vast majority of magical creatures should also be like this.
They then adjusted their defensive line to focus on those deep valleys where the Frost Fiend was relatively less ferocious.
Chen Xun recited an extremely awkward spell. Countless azure and translucent rays of light seeped out from the surroundings and converged on the spell seal formed by his hands. Soon, a three-foot-wide circular mirror formed in Chen Xun’s hand.
Chang Xi’s Heavenly Illumination Mirror had long since been destroyed. Unless he could tear down a similar formation restriction from the Star Iron Demon Body, he still did not have the ability to refine Earth-ranked magical artifacts. However, the several magical techniques that the Heavenly Illumination Mirror could evolve were extremely practical. This kind of Mountain River Floating Light Technique, depending on the caster’s cultivation, his divine sense could see movements ranging from a hundred to a thousand li.
Apart from the Mountain River Floating Light Technique, Chen Xun cultivated the Puppet Technique. His divine soul corresponded to the puppet’s Soul Essence Breath. If his divine sense could be attached to the puppet, then these puppets would be able to replace his ears and eyes and monitor movements within a radius of several hundred kilometers.
Combining the two, even if the ant wanted to enter the Heavenly Pillar Peak’s range, it couldn’t conceal it from his eyes.
Seeing that Chen Xun hadn’t cultivated the Origin Core yet, but the purity of his spirit essence wasn’t any lower than an ordinary Origin Core Daoist’s Origin Core, Zhao Cheng’en smiled and said, “Your cultivation has improved a lot?”
“The last time I refined the Primordial Spirit of the Scarlet Sea into my Soul Essence, even though I suffered the backlash of the Demon Dao Forbidden Technique, after my injuries healed, I was able to refine my Spirit Essence even more. This can be said to be an unbreakable principle!” As Chen Xun spoke to Zhao Cheng’en, he simultaneously released thirty-five Winged Demon golems from the Void Origin Pearl …
Apart from ordering Chi Hai to lead a group of Winged Demon Puppets to the Iron Star Fort’s rear line to guard, Chen Xun spread out the other Winged Demon Puppets on both wings. After giving the order to guard, he no longer had to distract himself from controlling them.
The Iron Star Fort was a remnant fortress that the Divine Night Haoran Sect had previously abandoned. Afterwards, a Origin Pill Taoist from the Xuandu Sect led hundreds of cultivators to garrison it.
The Governor-General’s Mansion intentionally restricted the role of Tianzhu Peak in the Thousand Devil Sand Sea’s war against devils. In the past year, a large amount of resources had been mobilized to rebuild the Iron Star Fort.
Apart from a 64-pillar Mountain and River Sealing Formation, the walls of the Iron Star Stronghold, which were less than fifty feet in radius, were all cast with molten iron poured with bronze juice, and a large number of Diamond Profound Symbols were engraved to strengthen them.
There were only three such fortifications on the forwards’ defensive line.
With the existence of the Iron Star Fort, the role that Heavenly Pillar Peak could play was limited to a very small extent. However, in front of many wandering cultivators who had entered Tu Shan to participate in the Devil Execution, even though Heavenly Pillar Peak was located at the edge of the Thousand Devil Sand Sea, it could still be considered a relatively stable rear area.
At the end of each day’s battle, many wandering cultivators retreated to Heavenly Pillar Peak to recuperate.
Zhao Cheng’en withdrew the Mountain and River Floating Light Technique and discussed with Chen Xun about some matters regarding his cultivation. Not long after, he saw the floating mirror illuminate dots of flowing light flying towards him from the south.
Under the clouds, these few streaks of light flew against the snowstorm. Apart from the floating light spell, Chen Xun and Zhao Cheng’en’s divine senses were unable to sense them.
In this kind of ghostly weather, even the demons were hiding in the Demon Array without moving. Rogue cultivators with slightly lower cultivation levels were evacuated down the mountain. It was impossible to see whether the person who came was human or demon. Chen Xun ordered Chi Hai to lead a team of Winged Demon Puppets to intercept them.
This was also Chen Xun’s convenience in cultivating the puppet technique. If it was Zhao Cheng’en, he would first notify the disciples at the foot of the mountain to go and take a look.
Chen Xun’s divine sense passed through the Scarlet Sea and saw several female cultivators flying towards Heavenly Pillar Peak.
Seeing that they were dressed in the robes of the disciples of the Dragon Gate Sect, Chen Xun knew that they had come to the Heavenly Pillar Peak to rest temporarily, so he ordered Crimson Sea and the Winged Demon Puppets to fly back.
“These magical creatures actually dare to dive near Heavenly Pillar Peak!”
The female cultivators of the Dragon Gate Sect saw a dozen or so Winged Demons reveal themselves at the edge of their field of vision, so they quickly swept backwards. They immediately took out their spirit swords, and dozens of sword lights began to leak towards the Scarlet Sea!
“Seniors, I am Chen Xun of Mount Wu, not a demon!” Chen Xun spoke through the Crimson Sea. His throat seemed to be covered in rags, and his voice was dry and strange as he explained the misunderstanding to the female cultivators of the Dragon Gate Sect.
“Demons actually spit out human words, bewitching people!” The female cultivator of the Dragon Gate Sect, She was dressed in a yellow robe, her figure graceful, her chest raised high, revealing an astonishing charm. Her body emitted a faint spiritual light, forcing the snowstorm a hundred feet away, not to be bullied in front of her. Her face was as beautiful as flowers, and her pink and tender as jade. However, her pair of beautiful eyes revealed a hint of baleful aura, as if she wanted to cut down the Winged Demon puppets like Crimson Sea.
Although this woman hadn’t cultivated the Origin Core yet, the sword Qi she was controlling was extremely sharp and agile. She made several twists and turns like a giant scarlet-yellow spirit dragon that pierced through the snowstorm and instantly approached Chi Hai and slashed towards him.
At this moment, Chen Xun knew that it wasn’t a misunderstanding at all. These women had come specifically to find him for bad luck.
He was too lazy to pay attention to the female cultivators of the Dragon Gate Sect. He immediately cut off the Crimson Sea, and the other eleven Winged Demon puppets quickly returned to his side.
At this moment, Chi Hai and the eleven Winged Demon puppets were more than a hundred kilometers away from him. No matter how strong his origin soul cultivation was, he was unable to form the Profound Evolution Battle Formation from a distance of more than a hundred kilometers to teach several women of the Dragon Gate Sect a lesson.
After refining the Crimson Sea Primordial Spirit into his Soul Essence, his strength had declined. Before the Spiritual Flesh was completely fused, many innate divine abilities could not be used. However, his demonic body, which had dark golden runes, could be said to be a new peak of the Divine Demon Body Refinement. With his bare hands, he shattered the sword light hacked by the female cultivator into countless crimson yellow shattered lights.
The female cultivator refused to scratch her head and recited the incantation. Countless crimson yellow rays of light condensed into sword light and then slashed towards the Crimson Sea again. She invited the other hesitant sisters to attack together to surround and kill the Winged Demon Crimson Sea.
“Master, if it weren’t for you refining my primordial spirit and so many bitches, I would definitely strip their clothes clean and give you both a feast for the eyes and a relief from hatred.” Chi Hai was still obsessed with the matter of Chen Xun refining his primordial spirit. As he flapped his wings and fled, he muttered to Chen Xun about it.
Several women chased after Chi Hai and quickly reached the clouds above the peak of Tianzhu Peak.
Although these female cultivators were only at the Heavenly Yuan Realm, as direct disciples of the Dragon Gate Sect, their profound arts and Spirit Controlling Swords were all at the peak of the Cloud Continent, and their strength far surpassed that of ordinary Heavenly Yuan Realm Sword Cultivators.
Although Chi Hai possessed a tyrannical demonic body comparable to an Origin Core martial cultivator, it was not enough to be seen by these women. Fleeing to Chen Xun’s side was already riddled with wounds, and the dark golden profound symbols on his body had been shattered.
Chi Hai was severely injured. It was like breaking his arm. Normally, it wouldn’t matter. Now that the battle was going on, the female cultivators of the Dragon Gate Sect were still so willful. Chen Xun was annoyed. He took out the Thunder Meteorite Sword and said coldly, “Senior Sisters, are you here for me, Chen Xun?”
“You don’t dare to look for Zhao Weichu to test your sword. I, Tao Siyue, want to see what kind of ability you have today. How dare you not pay attention to my ancestor’s invitation!” Tao Siyue held the sword light and crossed the clouds. It was like a blazing sun that flickered with a dazzling scarlet-yellow light. The sword light even emitted endless roars of dragons and tigers that shook the Frost Fiend. It could be seen that she had left more than her hands on Chi Hai just now.
Chen Xun smiled coldly. He hadn’t expected that the disciples of these large sects would have a terrible temper. The slightest bit of displeasure would be like having a life and death feud, shouting for death.
The Thunder Meteorite Sword in his hand plainly stabbed forward. Without him injecting the slightest bit of spiritual energy, he saw an extremely thin circle of dragon scale-shaped energy wave swirling around the sword’s head and quickly passing it forward.
With his cultivation at the Heaven Origin Realm, it would be easy for him to send out endless waves of Qi with a single punch. The Qi waves that exploded out spread out extremely quickly in all directions, capable of shattering stones and trees within a hundred feet. This was also the combat strength that a Heavenly Yuan Realm martial artist should possess.
However, Chen Xun’s sword wave didn’t dissipate. It was like a trail of ash and a poisonous snake that instantly bit the sword light Tao Siyue was controlling …
The sword light shattered, and the spirit sword was knocked out of its original form. A good-looking scarlet rainbow golden nickel sword was actually cut open by Chen Xun’s casual sword wave.
Chen Xun stared coldly at Tao Siyue’s pale face and said, “When will Senior Sister Tao be able to break my sword? It’s not too late to come find me to test my sword again. Before that, Senior Sister Tao did not have the qualifications to find me to test her sword …”
“You!” Tao Siyue did not expect Chen Xun to be so arrogant. Silver Fang was so angry that he was about to clench his teeth. He took out his bag of holding and wanted to take out the magical artifact that the Patriarch had bestowed on him to teach this kid a lesson.
“Chen Xun, hurry up and come over. There’s a movement at the mouth of the Devil Ruins!”
Chen Xun took action to teach these female disciples of the Dragon Gate Sect a lesson, while Zhao Chengsi stared at the movements of the Thousand Devil Sand Sea with a floating mirror.
Chen Xun swung his body and arrived in front of the floating mirror. He saw countless black dots gushing out of the Demon Ruins Mouth Demon Array like a tide. He was shocked. He turned around and asked Tao Siyue and the others, “Did anything unusual happen to you guys when you came back from the Thousand Demon Sand Sea?”
Although Tao Siyue and the others didn’t like Chen Xun, they decided to look for him today. However, they knew that the situation had slowed down. They swept over to the floating mirror and saw hundreds of thousands of magical creatures surging out of the formation. They were also shocked. They said, “We went around the Thousand Devil Sand Sea today, but we didn’t find anything unusual.”
