The Great Wild God - Chapter 353
Chapter 353 Seven Forbidden Areas
At this moment, a few strands of cold light shot out from the Wood City formation shield and gathered in mid-air to form a circular phantom. In the next moment, the Profound Yin Qi between heaven and earth frantically surged into the circular phantom.
Above the wooden city, it quickly condensed into a full moon that was filled with cold energy and illuminated towards the giant black-scaled claw.
With a flash of light, frost and snow quickly condensed around the giant black-scaled claw. It could be seen how low the temperature around the giant black-scaled claw was when the cold moon shone on it.
Because of this, the Black Scaled Giant Claw became extremely fragile, as if it was frozen in mid-air by extremely cold ice. The Cold Moon collided with the Black Scaled Giant Claw again, causing the Black Scaled Giant Claw to crack inch by inch. Soon, it turned into countless tiny fragments of spiritual light that scattered in the void …
“Venerable Cold Moon’s Cold Moon Dharma Form!” The Scarlet Star Palace disciples standing on the wooden city immediately cheered when they saw this situation.
The Flood Dragon that absorbed spiritual energy from the Mountain River Array could be said to be a divine ability of the Dharma Aspect.
The Divine Night Haoran Sect disciples formed a Heaven Spreading Formation to absorb the mighty energy. The ancient dragon that gathered was also a Dharma Aspect divine ability.
Thousands or tens of thousands of demons formed a grand formation, and the giant demons condensed with boundless demonic energy were also divine abilities of the Dharma Form.
The Thunder Sound Sword Formation could also gather the Kui Dragon Dharma Form after cultivating to the ninth level.
However, these Dharma Forms were all created by cultivators’ own Dharma Energy and the Dharma Formations and Dharma Artifacts that absorbed spiritual energy. Although they possessed supreme divine abilities, once the supply of Dharma Energy was interrupted, the Dharma Forms would shatter.
Only those who had advanced into the Dharma Aspect Realm would be able to continuously gather Heaven Earth Yuan Force and evolve supreme divine abilities through the condensed True Body Dharma Aspects outside their bodies.
When a Dharma Realm expert cultivated to this realm and used a divine ability, he had already surpassed the limits of the Hundred Bones Fleshly Body.
This was also the fundamental reason why Dharma Realm experts stood above all other cultivators.
Chen Xunyu’s ninth level Lightning Sound Sword Formation was also able to block the Black Scaled Giant Claw’s grasp, but the Mirage Beast Giant Demon that had cultivated the Dharma Form was constantly transforming into a Black Scaled Giant Claw to grasp it. How much magic power did he have to sustain it?
The giant black-scaled claws shattered. The full moon continued to shine on the surrounding Mirage Beasts. Frost and snow danced everywhere. In an instant, more than ten kilometers around the Chaotic Stone Beach instantly turned into a world of ice and snow. The strange cold caused the extremely tyrannical Mirage Beasts to slow down their movements.
As for the mirages that were directly illuminated by the cold light, unless they were extremely powerful individuals, the vast majority of them would crack inch by inch. With a light blow, they would be scattered into ice residues on the ground.
The loud roar behind the dense forest on the cliff was like thunder as a giant black-scaled claw shot out from the void and grabbed the cold moon in mid-air.
Chen Xun looked at Venerable Leng Yue from a distance of more than a hundred feet. He knew that if she still wanted to maintain the Frost Moon Technique, she could only compete with the giant demon hidden behind the dense forest of high cliffs in terms of spiritual power …
However, the dozens of Origin Core warriors and over 200 Heaven Origin Realm cultivators in Wood City weren’t decorations. How could they stand by and watch Venerable Cold Moon fight that giant demon with all their might?
If they couldn’t even occupy this small stone beach, would they still have the face to enter Long Mountain to search for treasures?
Mu Cheng had not completely escaped the impact of the huge waves. The defensive array could not directly attack the beasts on the cliff. However, seeing Venerable Cold Moon and the giant demon stalemate, Mu Cheng and Venerable Iron Light sat on the array. Everyone flew out of Mu Cheng, took out their magical artifacts, and wildly attacked the beasts.
Sword light, lightning pillar, flame, frost, and icicle interweave …
Giant sharp rock spikes drilled out from the ground …
The stone cliff seemed to have melted, and fiery red lava poured down towards the beasts below the cliff …
Tens of thousands of mirages quickly collapsed and fled. The giant demon hiding on the cliff also quietly retreated.
Chen Xun put the Blood Crow back into his body, took out his bag of holding, and stuffed all the corpses on the ground into it.
Apart from cultivators who raised spirit beasts, other cultivators were also searching through the Mirage Pills and other ingredients used to refine pills and artifacts.
Chen Xun only sighed. He couldn’t take out the Void Origin Pearl and put the corpses of these Mirage Beasts that filled the mountains and valleys into it.
******************
Mu Cheng slowly approached the Chaos Stone Beach and hovered in the shallow sea outside the Chaos Stone Beach.
Chen Xun and the other cultivators stepped onto the land of Mountain Long and immediately felt that the Chaos Stone Beach was much larger than what they had just seen. They secretly felt that Mountain Long might be restricted by some sort of spatial restriction, but it was actually three to four thousand kilometers wide.
On the other side of the beach valley, there were two stone ridges that extended into the shallow sea, forming a natural breakwater. Giant waves were difficult to form, and Wood City could still continuously absorb seawater and spiritual energy.
Mountain Long looked at the island mountain that was not formed naturally in Cloud Continent, but it stretched for more than 3,000 to 4,000 kilometers and possessed a complete shape of mountains and rivers. There were still many spirit veins and spirit acupoints in Mountain Long that could generate spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
In the valley in front of the Chaotic Stone Beach, there was a spirit vein that wasn’t weak. The Crimson Star Palace had set up sealing formations in the valley for more than ten years to build a camp.
In order to prevent any accidents from happening when Wood City crossed the sea of mist, Venerable Cold Moon and Venerable Iron Light led many Origin Core Realm cultivators out of the sea of mist to meet up with reinforcements.
He hadn’t expected that the Mirage Beast would capture them and almost take down the camp within a few days of leaving the camp.
After entering the beachhead camp, Chen Xun still didn’t see Du Liangyong. He went to Shaoxi Kang and asked, “My nominal disciple, Zhao Hongling’s husband, Du Liangyong, was invited by the Crimson Star Palace to enter the Long Mountain more than ten years ago. Why didn’t he see anyone here? Or did he become the food of the Mirage Beast?”
“There are seven forbidden areas in Long Mountain. The Scarlet Star Palace has gathered all the cultivators to break through the Kaiyang Palace. It is only one of the seven places, about a hundred miles north of the Beach Valley Camp.” Naturally, it was much more than Chen Xun. At this time, everyone entered the Long Mountain. No one could leave without the Wood City. There were naturally some secrets that they didn’t need to hide anymore. “The Crimson Star Palace had already broken through the outer restrictions of the Kaiyang Palace’s forbidden area and entered the forbidden area, but the inner core restrictions had yet to be undone. Du Liangyong and the rest of the cultivators who were proficient in mechanism formation techniques stayed in the secret place and continued to break the restrictions. The rest of them retreated to the beach valley camp and waited for news … ”
“Are those mirages unable to enter the forbidden area?” Chen Xun asked.
“If those mirages can enter the forbidden area and grasp Mountain Long’s central formation, do you think we still have a chance to get close to Mountain Long, Fellow Daoist Stone Dragon?” Shaoxi Kang laughed.
Although there were more than sixty Origin Core Daoists gathered here, there were only twenty disciples truly belonging to the Crimson Star Palace and the Shaoxi Clan. Other Origin Core Daoists, such as the true legacy of the Dragon Gate Sect, were invited by the Crimson Star Palace and the Shaoxi Clan to explore the secret treasure.
Shao Xi Kang knew that although Skydragon Seed had only cultivated the Origin Core, the Blood Crow, which was only an incarnation of his body, had the strength of a peak mid-Origin Core Realm cultivator. It was a target worth his great efforts to rope in.
Seeing that Chen Xun was still puzzled, Shaoxi Kang said, “The ancient Mirage Dragon was trapped by the Mountain Long Central Array, but Mountain Long has existed in the Falling Star Sea since ancient times. It appears once every thousand years, and many powerful beings have forcefully trespassed into secret places for tens of thousands of years.” Although no one was able to break through the central array, it gave the mirage a chance to release a bit of primordial spirit essence from the central array and have sex with sea beasts, producing a mirage that covered the mountains and ravines … ”
Tens of thousands of years ago, there were cultivators who forcefully broke into Long Mountain.
According to the records left behind by these ancient cultivators, the ancient mirage used its primordial spirit essence to conceive with sea beasts and gave birth to seven offspring. The seven descendants interacted with various sea beasts that had accidentally intruded into Mountain Long, producing millions of descendants. As a result, they were divided into seven races.
The seven races’ mirages didn’t lack demons that had cultivated to the Dharma Aspect Realm, but they fought endlessly with each other.
The Crimson Star Palace occupied the beach valley and set up a camp. The mirages they faced were still a weaker group. Although he had been harassed repeatedly over the past ten years, he had managed to survive without any dangers.
**************************
The next day, Chen Xun suggested going to the Kaiyang Palace to take a look.
Origin Pill Taoist had a lifespan of more than a thousand years. At this time, he already had enough lifespan to cultivate in other techniques. There were also many people who were skilled in mechanical formations. Even if Chen Xun didn’t take the initiative to bring it up, the Crimson Star Palace would arrange for them to enter the Kaiyang Palace’s forbidden area to see if there were any restrictions that could be undone.
Perhaps someone from their group would be able to break the restrictions of the Yang Opening Palace.
Apart from the Nine Marquises of Ji Yue and Chen Xun, Song Xuanyi and the other cultivators who had arrived at Long Mountain earlier, there were also more than a hundred people who followed Venerable Cold Moon to the Kaiyang Palace’s forbidden area to strengthen their efforts to break the restrictions.
The mirage’s main force withdrew two hundred kilometers away. Chen Xun and the others flew along the ridge and arrived at an extremely wide valley more than 150 kilometers north.
The entire valley was covered by clouds that contained boundless lightning power. It was the outer restriction that sealed the Kaiyang Palace’s forbidden area.
There was not a single crack in the valley’s periphery. Apart from a layer of loose soil on the surface of the valley, the rock strata beneath the valley were exceptionally thick, as if there were additional restrictions that blocked others from piercing through the soil.
Venerable Cold Moon tossed a talisman into the clouds. Soon, the clouds seemed to open a door, revealing a large hole.
Only then did Chen Xun know that the Crimson Star Palace had not only broken the restrictions on the outer perimeter of the Kaiyang Palace’s forbidden area, it had even grasped the formation eyes of the outer perimeter restrictions.
Chen Xun followed Venerable Leng Yue and the Nine Marquises of Ji Yue into the outer restrictions and saw a ten-mile-wide valley inside. The majestic Kai Yang Palace was located at the bottom of the valley, as if it was embedded into a gigantic peak that was a thousand feet tall. Only the main hall was exposed outside …
Chen Xun saw the white-haired Du Liangyong at a glance.
When they parted more than ten years ago, Du Liangyong was not even a hundred years old. With his 500-year lifespan at the Heaven Origin Realm, Du Liangyong was still quite young.
Chen Xun hadn’t expected that his lifespan would be almost exhausted when he was invited to Mountain Long to break the restriction of the formation.
Apart from Du Liangyong, there were more than a dozen cultivators sitting cross-legged on a boulder. They were using their calculations to deduce something. Their faces were all haggard, and their vitality was severely overdrawn …
However, after gathering more than a dozen people’s merits, he still hadn’t truly stepped into the Kaiyang Palace in the past ten years.
“Du Liangyong!” Chen Xunyu flew to the bottom of the valley and shouted loudly.
Du Liangyong was immersed in the deduction of the formation. Suddenly, he heard someone call out his name. He was in a trance. When he saw Chen Xun wearing a blood-shadow robe, he remembered the hatred of the disciples of the Guihai Pavilion who had been slaughtered. His gaze suddenly became sharp. He took out the Fire Sly Spirit Bow and placed it on his knee. He coldly said, “Shilongzi, I didn’t expect you to climb Mount Long.”
Chen Xun saw Du Liangyong take out his Fire Sly Spirit Bow with killing intent and hurriedly raised his hand to signal, “Don’t do anything, don’t do anything. Zhao Hongling has already entered my sect. If you want to force me to kill you, Zhao Hongling and I will fight to the death!”
Du Liangyong’s face was filled with astonishment as he did not believe the truth in front of him.
“That day at the Ghost Head Reef, you killed so many disciples in Sea Pavilion. How could Madam Du be willing to take you as her master? She was definitely coerced by this evil cultivator of yours!” Tao Siyue flew over and questioned Chen Xun first.
Song Xuanyi followed closely behind Tao Enyue, and the spirit sword behind him let out a faint thunderous sound. If he really made a move, he would definitely be able to slash out in an extremely short amount of time. Venerable Cold Moon ignored their personal grudges and walked to the side to inquire about the situation of the formation …
Chen Xun ignored Tao Siyue and took out a letter from his bosom. He wanted to pass it to Du Liangyong, “This is a secret letter that my disciple gave you. You will understand everything after reading it …”
“Who knows if you cheated?” Tao Siyue reached out to snatch the secret letter.
Chen Xun flipped his palm and patted several layers of blood shadows, forcing Tao Siyue to retreat. “Little girl, don’t the disciples of the Dragon Gate Sect have any tutelage at all?” He laughed.
Zhao Hongling’s secret letter to Du Liangyong involved the secret of his identity. How could he allow Tao Siyue to rudely seize it?
