Chapter 134: Chapter 58 Mountains Canonical Gods_2
“It’s monsters at the Qi Transformation Stage!”
In the tunneled-out earth, figures bristling with formidable aura leapt out, their eyes filled with savage intent as they charged into the artillery position, their muscular bodies brutally smashing the fearsome cannons.
As creatures at the Qi Transformation Stage, they naturally had no need to appear on the frontlines.
The assignment given to them by the Mountain Gods was to destroy the artillery positions. With these annoying cannons eliminated, ordinary human soldiers were no threat to the swarm of lesser monster.
A monster with the head of a horse and body of a man extended its palm to crush the human soldier in front of it. Just then, a bright sword light slashed through the night, severing his palm.
“Bastard monster, surrender now!”
A stern shout reverberated through the night air, followed by ten-plus auras at two Qi Transformation Stages manifesting within the camp. More cultivators at the Qi Transformation Stage were rushing in from a major camp not far away.
The fight broke out in earnest, with spells and demon arts whirling about, divine skills clashing against natural divine power, turning an artillery position into a slaughterhouse.
In the main camp, Marquis Zhennan was watching the direction of the artillery position with a grim and cool expression on his face. He coldly commanded: “The fish has taken the bait. Activate artillery position two and three to take over the front battle, and ask the Qi training soldiers from Mount Laojun to launch the large formation at any time to ensure no monsters escape.
I want to let Yunfu Mountain Lord learn through the lives of these monsters that we, the Human Clan, are not lambs to be bullied!”
More concentrated blasts of gunfire erupted from the west of the main camp, brilliant firelight enveloping the front line.
In the artillery position where the monsters had appeared, the scene had escalated into a pitched battle, with hordes of monsters and human cultivators locked in deadly combat.
Upon hearing the sound of gunfire again, the ground pangolin fiercely resisted a spell, roaring:
“We’ve been tricked by these humans, this is just a diversion, the real artillery position is at the back!”
“Retreat!”
The ground pangolin’s body transformed into a streak of light as it tried to escape underground using its natural divine power.
“Thinking of retreating? Have you asked me?”
A detached voice inquired, and the ground shook. A vast Yin-Yang Eight- Trigrams Array Formation emerged from the depth of the earth. It transformed into steel, which previously could be easily penetrated.
Above the sky, a succession of formation patterns ascended, eventually connecting with a Tripodal Precious Cauldron.
Beneath that Cauldron was a tripartite stand of Heaven, Earth, and Man, prohibiting all methods of escape.
“A spirit treasure, the Trinity Genesis Cauldron, you’re Mo Li from Mount Laojun!”
“Weren’t you people committed to keep your distance from affairs in Yun Province?”
The ground pangolin voice was full of despair.
The Trinity Genesis Cauldron was Mount Laojun’s treasure. However, its grade had fallen to a spirit treasure six thousand years ago, and it was hard to recover. Nevertheless, it still was a valuable treasure.
Mo Li was young, but he had already stepped into the Qi Training Stage. He was seen as the peerless genius of the present generation, brought up by Mount Laojun after the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge.
Furthermore, because Mo Li started his cultivation only after the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge, he was not restricted by the conditions of this world. Wielding a spirit treasure, Mo Li could be considered as one of the strongest individuals who could appear under regular circumstances.
Mo Li, clad in a dark blue Taoist robe, stood in the sky with the Trinity Genesis Cauldron in his right hand, indifferently sweeping his gaze over all the Qi Transformation Stage monsters present.
“It seems Yunfu Mountain Lord really doesn’t mind throwing you all away since he didn’t even send a Qi Training Stage Great Demon.”
The ground pangolin angrily shrieked:
“You, from Mount Laojun, are treacherous. Aren’t you afraid that Yunfu Mountain Lord will uproot the Yunfu Street Market?”
Mo Li waved his sleeves. As the symbols on the Trinity Genesis Cauldron were revealed, all the monsters felt as if they were carrying a heavy mountain and were brutally pressed onto the ground.
“Will anyone know that I made a move if I just kill you all?”
A terrible energy roiled in the chest of the ground pangolin, and he forcefully spat it out.
Subsequently, the cauldron slowly opened, and a flame rose from within it, transforming the large formation into a sea of fire.
The array patterns shifted as if the entirety of the large formation had been turned into a pill furnace. The monsters were bathed in a sea of fire, crying out in misery. Despite their best efforts, they couldn’t escape the pill furnace’s confines with their divine powers.
Half an incense stick’s time later, not a single trace of any monster could be found within the formation.
“Well done!”
Marquis Zhennan, who had just joined, watched the scene with excitement.
Just moments ago, the Yunfu monsters had been stuck in a stalemate despite a long siege, and their smaller kin among the monsters had suffered heavy casualties under the artillery fire, completely demoralised. They had finally chosen to retreat.
He had already commanded the armoured troops to press forward, driving the detestable monsters back into the depths of the mountains.
Marquis Zhennan was even contemplating setting up a camp on the outskirts of the Yunfu Mountains to monitor the monsters’ movements at all times.
After the formation faded away, Marquis Zhennan finally approached Mo Li, who was still holding onto the Trinity Genesis Cauldron, and said in haste: “Master Mo Li, since you brought such a precious treasure here, why don’t you join forces with the Zhennan Army to attack Yunfu Mountains together? After suffering such heavy losses of their elite, and with the cover of our firepower, we could definitely strike a serious blow against the Yunfu Monster Race!”
Mo Li frowned slightly and gently shook his head.
“Forgive my impudence, but it seems Marquis Zhennan knows nothing about Yunfu Mountains.
The Yunfu Monster Race, Mountain Gods, and even the few Great Demons at the Qi Transformation Stage are not a concern. But in the Yunfu Mountains, no one can defeat Yunfu Mountain Lord.”
Marquis Zhennan looked furious. “Even strategic nuclear weapons won’t work?”
Mo Li remained silent, instead pointing towards Yunfu Mountain.
“Marquis Zhennan, please look.”
Before Marquis Zhennan could turn his gaze, a severe earthquake occurred. The outer mountains of Yunfu crumbled, and the ground beneath surged like a writhing Earth Dragon, entirely demolishing the positions that the monsters failed to seize.
A massive chasm spread across the border, blocking the path of the armoured troops.
This earthquake was both unexpected and heartbreaking. As if just waiting for the front line of the monster forces to withdraw without suffering any casualties, the Zhennan Army suffered unimaginable damage.
Many armoured vehicles and soldiers were buried in the shifting earth, and the vast chasm swallowed up even the seemingly invincible tanks.
Staring at the scene before him, Marquis Zhennan’s face turned pale, his voice unusually hoarse.
“This is Yunfu Mountain Lord’s doing?”
Mo Li nodded, a solemn expression on his face like never before.
“The reason Yunfu Mountain Lord and the Mountain Gods didn’t intervene immediately is quite possibly due to the Great Sun rising over the mountains. That’s why you, Marquis Zhennan, could chalk up a victory so effortlessly.” “You should know that Yunfu Mountain Lord is not just some feral god, but a Mountain God appointed by the Heavenly Court and holding the Divine Edict.
In these Yunfu Mountains, he is the God!”
