The Great Wild God - Chapter 435

Chapter 435 Heavenly Volcano

The vanguard soldiers quickly reoccupied the castle beneath the ring mountain range. The vanguard soldiers and Heaven Mending Pavilion disciples, who had stayed on the ring mountain range to watch the commotion, also began to move northward along the two wings of the castle.

Most of the ghosts were just phantom shadows. There was a pale flame at the heart. It should be the soul fire formed by the remnant souls of ancient gods and devils, but it was extremely weak. True Yang Realm disciples could easily destroy it with profound symbols.

However, the number of ghosts was extremely large and endless, delaying the advancement of the army and Heaven Mending Pavilion disciples northward.

Six days to the north, they arrived at the edge of the plateau, and then they headed towards the continuous stone ridge. Only then did the density of the ghosts pouncing on them decrease.

Chen Xun ordered his troops to stop and rest in front of a stone ridge at the edge of the plateau. He took in a ghost from afar to study it. He reached into the ghost’s body and grabbed the soul flame. His tentacles were gloomy and cold. He felt as if the qi, blood, and true yang in his body were flowing water. He was actually taken away a little by this gloomy coldness.

Not only had the spirit flame of the ghost not been extinguished in his palm, it had also absorbed a little of his Qi, Blood, and True Yang and turned into a bright azure-blue color. An extremely excited will surged in the Spiritual Flame, pulsing, wanting to drive the entire Spiritual Flame into Chen Xun’s body. It seemed to know that the Qi, Blood, and True Yang in Chen Xun’s body were all their great tonifying pills.

“These low-grade spirits don’t have any spirituality. They are only driven by the will to devour Qi, Blood, and True Yang. They are no different from the lowest-grade Void Demons and Shadow Demons in the Thousand Demons Realm.” Bei Xuanjia observed the changes in the ball of ghost spiritual fire in Chen Xun’s palm and judged.

“Looking at the changes in the Spiritual Fire, it is said that the Furnace Battlefield tomorrow will have the conditions to produce a large number of demons.” Chen Xun frowned slightly and said.

Even so, there were already some low-grade demons at the southern foot of the Heavenly Volcano, so Su Wuyang couldn’t help but be careless.

This time, Su Shousi stayed in Xuanjing City and did not follow them into the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield.

“These ghosts weren’t actually formed by the remnant souls of the Fiendgods. To be more precise, they were only the remnants of the will of some ancient devil creatures to devour blood and qi. However, if countless Fiendgods were to be buried in the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield, the soul fragments of those Fiendgods and the remains of their bodies would be far more ferocious than imagined.”

Chi Hai looked at the Northern Profound Armor and chuckled. The primordial spirit of the Northern Profound Armor was formed by the remnant soul of the Big Dipper Immortal. If it hadn’t been for the fact that the Northern Profound Armor had been lured into the Void Origin Pearl, he wouldn’t have known how to clean up the mess at that time.

Compared to the eager disciples of Heaven Mending Pavilion, Chi Hai and She Wuxin were much quieter.

“If there really are powerful magical creatures in the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield, why are we safe and sound until now?” Su Fuchen asked.

Chen Xun turned his head to look at the old Su Yun Chen and said, “We need to get close to the ruins of the ancient battlefield before we can figure it out. However, we were ordered to guard the sentry fort at the southern foot of the Heavenly Volcano. If we enter the Heavenly Volcano, we might encounter some demons, but we probably won’t have the chance to advance further.”

“Then we should stay at Sky Volcano Sentinel Fort to be more safe.” Su Fuchen chuckled and his snow-white eyebrows jumped slightly. He bent his body and retreated behind Su Wuyang.

When the White Wolf River broke, Su Fuchen surrounded Su Wuyang and Beitou Mansion of Marquis Martial. Although all of them were able to protect themselves wisely and didn’t suffer any heavy losses in the Old Dragon Lake Battle, not only had their clansmen not developed much in the past 50 to 60 years, but even Su Wuyang and Su Fuchen’s cultivation hadn’t improved at all.

As the proud son of the Canglan Su Clan, Su Wuyang’s cultivation talent was even slightly superior to Su Tang’s. However, the Su Clan had been able to use all of their clan’s strength to nurture him, Su Tang, and the others in the early years. His cultivation was naturally fast, and he had become a number of young experts in the Northwest Region at a young age, no weaker than the direct descendants and direct descendants of major sects.

However, after the White Wolf River broke apart, Su Wuyang was respected as the sect master of his clansmen. After that, for decades, his main focus was on maintaining the clansmen’s survival. A small amount of resources were spent on the cultivation of the clansmen’s disciples. His personal cultivation was delayed. Fifty years later, he was still stuck in the early Heaven Origin Realm.

Su Fuchen was originally an elder of the Azure Water School, and his aptitude was not much inferior to Su Lingyin and Su Junyuan. However, Su Junyuan and Su Lingyin had already cultivated Yuan Dan, and there was even a great chance of them cultivating True Body Form in the future. However, Su Fuchen’s cultivation was still stagnant at the late stage of the Reincarnation Realm.

At this time, he had already reached the limit of the Reincarnation Realm’s lifespan. His cultivation had deteriorated by a lot, and he had less than three to five years left to live.

Who would have thought that after the White Wolf River broke apart, the situation in the Northwest Region would undergo such an earth-shattering upheaval? Who would have thought that the four sects would rise in Tu Shan and become the new leader of the sects in the Northwest Region?

Even if Chen Xun had no intention of entangling his old grudges, Su Wuyang and Su Fuchen were too humble to raise their heads in front of him. The monstrous resentment and hostility that they had accumulated earlier had also vanished at some unknown time.

What qualifications did they have to harbor resentment and hostility towards Mountain Parasol and Chen Xun?

In the past, Mansion of Marquis Martial still regarded them as chips and chess pieces to suppress Cang Lan, but now they didn’t even have the qualifications to be chips and chess pieces.

“Chen Xun, take your time. When will you reach the Heavenly Fire Mountain Range?” Jiang Yunxian urged Jade-eyed Blue Scaled Sly to rush to the front and impatiently urged Chen Xun, Su Wuyang, and the others to stand in front of a cliff and watch the terrain nearby.

Chen Xun turned around and took a look. With Jiang Yunxian and the others as the leaders, the Heaven Mending Pavilion had more than 300 disciples accompanying them.

The responsibility of this group of soldiers was to enter the Heavenly Volcano Sentinel Fort and organize defense. Jiang Yunxian and the rest of the disciples of the Heavenly Mending Pavilion would use the Heavenly Volcano Sentinel Fort as a backup base to search and refine near the Heavenly Volcano.

According to the plan, Jiang Yunxian wanted to move in sync with them.

“According to General Su’s plan, we still need about fifteen days to enter the Heavenly Volcano,” Chen Xun said slowly. “Considering the possible changes on the way, we will speed up slightly. If everything goes smoothly, it will take about twelve days to arrive at the destination. We shouldn’t delay the Imperial Daughter’s grand plan.”

“Why not activate the Dragon Fang Floating Boat?” Jiang Yunxian asked.

If True Monarch Pinecrane hadn’t ordered them to follow the Divine Guards Army’s Armored Soldiers, Jiang Yunxian and hundreds of Heaven Mending Pavilion disciples would have left Chen Xun’s group of Armored Soldiers behind long ago.

If they wanted to speed up their advance now, they could only urge Chen Xun and the others to speed up their journey.

If the Dragon Fang Floating Boat was activated, it would take less than 10,000 kilometers to arrive. It would only take two to three days for it to arrive, and it would depend on these slow, scaled horses. If anything happened along the way, who knew how long it would take for them to arrive at the designated location?

“Near the northern plateau, spiritual energy is sparse. The amount of spiritual energy stored in the floating ship formation restriction is limited. It is only enough for everyone to withdraw to the castle when they are in danger. Please calm down, Imperial Daughter.” Chen Xun said indifferently.

The Dragon Fang Floating Boat was the standard equipment of the various battalions of the Divine Guards. However, on the plateau where spiritual energy was sparse, it was difficult to use the Spirit Gathering Formation. The restrictions of the Dragon Fang Floating Boat Formation were still sufficient to gather spiritual energy from the Western Ancestral Dragon Mountain.

Activate the Dragon Fang Floating Boat now. If he encountered any unstoppable dangers along the way, how could the hundreds of soldiers behind him withdraw?

Seeing Chen Xun’s calm temperament, Jiang Yunxian knew that no matter how much she urged him, it would not work. She glared at him in displeasure and helplessly turned around to leave.

At this moment, the air was filled with a scorching sulfur aura. At the edge of his field of vision, there were a few bone demons roaming among a large group of ghosts.

Most of these bone devils were over three zhang tall, and their strength was boundless. Blazing flames flowed through their empty sockets, and the giant bone sickles flickered with a cold light.

These bone demons were already more powerful than late True Yang Realm human martial cultivators. There were also a few bone demons that were even more flexible in their movements. They even had an extremely thin black membrane covering the outer layer of their thick bones.

This layer of black bone armor hadn’t evolved to the level of a mo armor, but it was even tougher than the hundred-year-old barbarian bull hide.

The disciples of Heaven Mending Pavilion had no choice but to vent their resentment on Bone Demon and Ghost Soul. Hundreds of Heaven Mending Pavilion disciples’ sword lights flashed horizontally and horizontally, but it also saved Chen Xun and the others the time to clear the path.

“Ao!”

A sharp howl pierced through the lonely sky. Chen Xun raised his head and saw a black shadow jump out of the stone ridge more than a hundred miles away and pounce towards the group of Heaven Mending Pavilion disciples who had rushed to the front.

It was a green-faced mandrill with fangs. It was about 20 feet tall and covered in black scales. Watching this mandrill charge out with a large amount of mud and stones, it was clear that this mandrill had hid underground before and had only managed to escape Chen Xun’s divine sense.

The group of Heaven Mending Pavilion disciples was led by a Heaven Origin Realm Xuan Xiu, and their reactions were extremely fast. Everyone slashed out dozens of sword lights at the first possible moment, but they were unable to injure this mandrill in the slightest.

At this time, three mandrills flew out from behind the stone ridge and quickly formed a ball with the disciples of Heaven Mending Pavilion.

Jiang Yunxian and the others were not shocked but happy. They had been walking slowly with Chen Xun for five or six days and had encountered some low-grade ghosts and bone demons. They had finally seen a few mandrills, all of them like chicken blood. Without waiting for Chen Xun to react, more than a hundred people had transformed into rays of light and pounced towards Shi Ling in front of them.
