332: Full fire peak showdown (asking for monthly ticket)

Suddenly, a great sun rapidly ascended into the heavens and earth, shining brightly in the sky, illuminating all directions, its golden light reflecting off the snow, and a colossal figure stood majestically between heaven and earth.

He was clad in azure jade Dragon scale armor, with a Dragon head at its center, Five-Colored Thunder swirling around him like ribbons, protecting all sides, making him impervious to all spells; his crimson-gold Dharma Form, as heavy as a mountain, as imposing as a prison, had a golden vertical eye between his brows, revealing all demons and monsters with nowhere to hide.

The great sun hung behind the colossal Dharma Form's Mud-Pill Palace, and five divine rings resonated and appeared one by one.

The Great Sun Thunder Sound Dharma Form, radiating solemn Dharma light yet not recorded among the thirty-two forms, rose from the ground, its aura surging amidst the howling wind and snow!

This was not the end; as the Dharma Form manifested, a Dragon roar and Phoenix cry, tearing through heaven and earth, resounded loudly.

Accompanying the Dharma Form, which soared heavenward, two rays of light, one azure and one crimson, blazed intensely.

Immediately after,

“Awo!”

A Dragon roar echoed, and a chilling Dragon head condensed and coiled upwards, its formidable Dragon body, like a mountain range, appeared as if cast from molten iron, shimmering with an oppressive aura, stretching for about half a kilometer.

“Li!”

At the same time, beside it, a piercing cry, shattering metal and stone, startled the sky, and blazing fire clouds dyed half the sky crimson.

A colossal vermilion divine Fire Phoenix, like a totem of heaven and earth, emerged from the splendid fire clouds, reborn from the flames.

This bird's entire body was covered in fiery feathers like clouds, its splendid tail feathers adorned with dazzling crimson-gold patterns, and its eyes, like red gemstones, were brilliant and captivating. Its wings, like clouds hanging from the sky, covered over two hundred meters, instantly transforming the icy landscape into a blazing inferno, raising white steam and making this part of the world misty and ethereal.

The Azure Dragon and Fire Phoenix, projections of the two Heavenly True Spirits, instantly condensed, Dragon and Phoenix intertwining, circling Chen Yuan’s Great Sun Thunder Sound Dharma Form, causing this part of the world to instantly boil.

Chen Yuan unleashed almost all his means in one go; within him, the two recently refined Divine Treasures operated at full power, and in his Mud-Pill Palace, the Thirty-Six Mountain Demon Suppression Tower also burst forth from the clouds with a rumble, flying out from his crown, manifesting externally with a spin, its myriad demon carvings emitting ferocious roars.

In a mere breath, Chen Yuan displayed astonishing phenomena: the solemn Great Sun Dharma Form, the True Dragon and Fire Phoenix protecting his body, and Demon Soldiers and Demon This Generals poised for battle, startling certain low-key but inwardly proud and indifferent River-Crossing Dragons within the Tianxiong Pass, causing their pupils to contract and their hearts to skip a beat.

Some with keen Divine Ability sensed that this Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General’s aura, though he had only activated two Divine Treasures, exuded a pressure that made one feel a tightness in the chest.

A mountain is not high because it has immortals, and water is not deep because it has Dragons.

The Dharma Form radiated light, and True Spirits protected the body.

It seems this Zhonglang General’s abilities are astonishing and peerless, and the Divine Treasures he activated are extraordinary, no wonder he could defeat three Wu Zang Dharma Forms in a single strike even before manifesting his Dharma Form.

Now that he has manifested his Dharma Form and is at full power, it is hard to imagine what kind of might he will possess.

“He’s making a move!”

A voice cried out in surprise.

Suddenly, Chen Yuan's Dharma Form, as towering as a small mountain, let out a thunderous shout, “He!”, and with a booming sound, the long spear in his hand flew out, the spear striking like a Dragon, piercing through clouds and fog, the air whistling sharply as it fiercely struck the opposite sky.

At the same time, his palms transformed into cloud-piercing hands, reaching out towards the opposite side.

Chen Yuan faced the four Wu Zang without hesitation; at this point, any more words were useless, only a true test of strength mattered.

The three Wu Zang families, seeing Chen Yuan kill Military Commander Yang Jianshan in front of them, were enraged, and upon hearing Chen Yuan's “sophistry,” they were both startled and furious as he brazenly attacked, roaring and glaring.

“Damn it, I’m going to kill you.” The Gongyang family’s Wu Zang’s eyes widened like copper bells, seething with anger, his hair wildly dancing.

“Lord Zhong, aren’t you going to act?!”

“Rise.”

The Wu Zang of the Huangfu, Gongyang, and Meng Family families could not contain their fury; they rose up and wielded their weapons to meet the offensive.

Their harsh words still caught in their throats, and in a flash of lightning, three loud roars erupted.

The Gongyang family’s Wu Zang, with fists shaking the heavens like blades, violently collided with the hundred-meter spear that shot towards him.

The other two Wu Zang families, meanwhile, launched their Dao soldiers, directly striking Chen Yuan’s descending large hands.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Three loud roars erupted, accompanied by dazzling spiritual light, and the winds and clouds changed color.

Then, only a buzzing tremor was heard.

“Impossible!”

A voice filled with anger and unwillingness sounded.

It was seen that the Gongyang family’s Wu Zang, whose brilliant divine fists gleamed with golden light, resisted the incredibly sharp silver spearhead, his face quickly contorting, his bones making a grating, teeth-aching sound.

Damn it, how could he, a Wu Zang with a Bloodline Legacy and two activated Divine Treasures, not even be able to withstand a single spear strike?

He had always refused to admit that his previous defeat at Chen Yuan's hands was merely due to carelessness and not understanding this Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General's Divine Ability, allowing the opponent to exploit a weakness.

At this moment, this Gongyang family’s Wu Zang’s face was twisted, and he let out a beast-like roar from his throat; the Gongyang family’s proud fleshly strength seemed to be useless at this moment, driving him somewhat mad.

But the sharp pain from his arm bones clearly warned him that he was about to collapse.

His face hardened with resentment, and his eyes quickly filled with brilliant silver light; with a whoosh, two silver rays shot out from his pupils, fiercely striking the spearhead in front of him.

With a “boom,” an explosion erupted.

Gongyang Wu Zang forcefully deflected the power, letting out a muffled groan, and his body was shaken backward.

But the next second, the long spear followed closely, whistling through the air, making his hair stand on end.

At the same time, on the other two sides, two muffled groans sounded almost simultaneously.

It was seen that the other two figures, who had just shot up into the sky, were smashed down from above, followed by two massive hands, ten zhang in size, piercing through clouds and fog, descending from the sky.

The three Wu Zang families struggled, but couldn't last three or four breaths before being smashed down.

They were even more disheveled than before, and this nearly broke their defenses.

Because the opponent hadn't used any Divine Ability, it was merely the opponent's raw power!

And just as the three Wu Zang families were sent flying and being relentlessly pursued, three rays of white light swept towards the spear and the two giant hands, instantly freezing the Void Realm.

Then, a lion’s roar that shattered the clouds thundered through the sky.

Subsequently, a faint, indifferent voice leisurely sounded, carrying a peculiar rhythm that seemed capable of piercing the human heart.

“Chen Yuan, you obtained the Qi Luck Spiritual Root, and your strength surged, but it is ultimately an external thing, which has instead caused your mind to wander, your will to run wild, making you unruly and short-sighted. Today, as this Town Demon Envoy takes office, I shall properly tame you, letting you know that there are always people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens.”

These words came from the Town Demon Envoy, indicating that the court was already aware of Chen Yuan's possession of the Qi Luck Spiritual Root, and this Lord Zhong attributed Chen Yuan's sudden rise to his earlier acquisition of the Qi Luck Spiritual Root, which caused his strength to skyrocket at an incredible speed.

As he finished speaking, the eight Thunder Lions erupted with brilliant silver lightning, their bodies rapidly expanding in the wind to fifty or sixty zhang in size; with a breath, they drew in lightning and struck the three points in the Void Realm diagonally above.

At the same time, Zhenmo Shi Zhongli, clad in chain mail and holding a Mystic Light Mirror, frowned, his eyes chilling; amidst the dazzling silver lightning, he rose with the wind, throwing the Mystic Light Mirror into the sky.

The Mystic Light Mirror shot high into the sky, then its surface blazed with white light, spinning rapidly and growing larger in the wind; subsequently, beams of light shot out from the mirror’s surface, flying towards the vicinity of Chen Yuan’s Void Realm.

With a flash of white light, vertical mirror surfaces several zhang in size condensed, scattered across several li of the surrounding Void Realm.

“Hmph.”

Chen Yuan snorted coldly at the sight, his two restrained large hands suddenly shook, shattering the white light that confined him; his large hands stirred clouds and fog, and as they moved, the Void Realm exploded, striking towards the surrounding condensed mirror surfaces.

“Crash!”

In the Void Realm, mirror surfaces shattered one by one, turning into fragments of various sizes that scattered into the Void Realm, but the flickering fluctuations within them did not dissipate.

Chen Yuan frowned slightly; he saw the vermilion Fire Phoenix circling above his head let out a sharp cry, its ruby-like eyes emitting crimson flowing fire, and with a flap of its great wings, instantly, blazing flames, centered on itself, swept through the Void Realm, engulfing the surrounding light-reflecting mirror surfaces.

But under the terrifying high temperature, those mirror surfaces remained motionless, showing no signs of melting.

“Don’t bother, you can’t break it!”

“Mirror Flower World, open!”

Zhenmo Shi Zhongli’s voice, indifferent with a hint of arrogance, rang out, followed by a sharp command.

As the command fell, the man stepped directly into the Void Realm, entering one of the mirrors and vanishing without a trace.

But the next second, his figure reappeared in a mirror surface a hundred zhang directly in front of Chen Yuan, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, without the slightest fluctuation.

He launched a dazzling spiritual light towards Chen Yuan, and the Five-Colored Thunder swirling around Chen Yuan’s Dharma Form automatically leaped out; an arm-thick bolt of lightning crackled forth, scattering the incoming spiritual light.

But this was just the beginning!

The next second, from countless fragments around, like mirror reflections, figures appeared simultaneously; countless large and small spiritual lights transformed into streaks of shooting beams, suddenly bombarding Chen Yuan, instantly submerging the Void Realm within two or three li, making it boil like water!

Chen Yuan’s eyes sharpened, and his heart tightened; the opponent’s Divine Ability was incredibly bizarre and unpredictable; he roared from his throat, and a Dragon roar resounded loudly. The Azure Dragon protecting his body, which was entwined with the Phoenix, let out a roar, its mountain-sized body circling around Chen Yuan’s Dharma Form, while the Five Thunder ribbons around the Dharma Form exploded into dazzling Five-Colored Heavenly Thunder, lightning arcs wildly leaping out, continuously striking the incoming light beams.

Soon, heart-shaking explosions vibrated through heaven and earth.

In the center of the myriad white light beams, Five-Colored Thunder flashed wildly, constantly compressed, with an Azure Dragon entwined around it, its azure-green Dragon scales shattering piece by piece.

In the distance, countless people gasped at this sight.

As soon as Zhenmo Shi Zhongli, dispatched by the court, made his move, he suppressed and defeated this fiercely powerful and arrogant Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General, his Divine Ability unfathomable.

Truly worthy of being an envoy sent by the court!

Now, it seems that the Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General, along with the two prefectural armies, are in trouble.

Indeed, seeing Chen Yuan trapped by the Wu Zang Peak Zhongli’s Divine Ability and repeatedly defeated, the three Wu Zang families, seething with anger, furiously shook off the soldiers who were supporting them.

Seeing the front lines of the army in disarray from the fighting, their anger burned, and their killing intent boiled.

Their primary concern was their own subordinates.

“What are you waiting for? Capture the other two Zhonglang Generals.”

“A mere Heavenly Gate dares to interfere, you must be tired of living.”

“Forget it, This General will go personally, and let Chen Yuan see the fate of rebels.”

As he finished speaking, the Huangfu Family’s Wu Zang’s feet exploded, and he shot like lightning towards the army formation several li ahead, his copper-bell eyes flashing with killing intent, quickly locking onto the two figures in the low sky.

They were none other than Wei Zhong and General Wu Sheng, who were leading their troops into the main army formation!

“Useless!” The Huangfu Family’s Wu Zang, seeing their vanguard troops scattered by the prefectural soldiers, couldn’t bear to watch, and cursed angrily. Then, with a flick of his hand, a dazzling divine whip appeared, and he lashed out at the Void Realm below.

“Crack!”

“Crack!”

Two sudden air explosions sounded, and then two whip shadows were seen lashing out across the air towards Wei Zhong and General Wu Sheng.

Wei Zhong and General Wu Sheng sensed the sudden danger, and almost simultaneously, their figures transformed into afterimages, flickering in the Void Realm.

The next second, the whip shadows struck the two afterimages.

But after striking the afterimages, the whip shadows did not stop; instead, they struck, entangled, and pulled the afterimages.

Suddenly, in the Void Realm a hundred meters away, two figures, as if fixed, condensed from the Void Realm.

“How is this possible?!”

It was Wei Zhong and General Wu Sheng, who had dodged when they saw the situation was wrong; their faces were filled with surprise and doubt, they had clearly dodged, yet they were locked on, their bodies bound by an invisible force.

Above, the Huangfu Family’s Wu Zang sneered, “Ants dare to contend with the bright moon, truly ignorant of death.”

“Get over here!”

He exerted force in his hand, intending to pull the two back.

Just then, two sounds of breaking cords rang out, and he pulled nothing but air.

The two Zhonglang Generals also lost their restraints and rushed towards the chaotic troops below.

The Huangfu Family’s Wu Zang’s eyes flared with anger, and he swung the divine whip in his hand again, but this time, the whip shadow he cast encountered something halfway, and was shattered.

“Who?!”

He immediately realized there was an accomplice, his gaze filled with shock and anger, as he scoured the Void Realm below, shouting.

Just then, the wind and snow in the Void Realm around him began to swirl rapidly, and a strong wind picked up; subsequently, giant fists of condensed snowflakes, several zhang in size, began to pummel the Huangfu Family’s Wu Zang in a flurry of blows.

“Playing tricks!”

He coldly snorted, and the divine whip in his hand transformed into golden lightning, lashing wildly in all directions.

However, after two breaths, the Huangfu Family’s Wu Zang’s strange cries were heard from within this swirling white vortex.

The remaining two Wu Zang families came at the sound, shouting as they plunged into the vortex to assist, but just then, from within the swirling white vortex, a massive gourd descended, its large opening covering the Void Realm where they were, sucking the three Wu Zang families inside.

A chuckle then sounded at the opportune moment.

“Old man invites you to temporarily sit inside my treasure.”

“Don’t be impatient, alright?!”

A old man with hair sticking up like ram’s horns appeared in the wind vortex, casually raising his hand to summon; the enormous gourd rapidly shrank, falling into the old man’s hand; he shook it by his ear, chuckled twice, then put away the gourd and looked at the myriad mirrors high in the sky two or three li away that were trapping Chen Yuan, raising an eyebrow.

“This is a bit tricky!”

“This court fellow, a Wu Zang Peak, has actually touched upon the creation of the sixth realm Dragon Tiger; it would be troublesome for this old man to go up there.”

“Little Chen, you absolutely must not fall.”

“Oh, that kid’s third eye seems to have something going on.”

This suddenly appearing old man was none other than Old Man Dong of the Huanlong Clan, who had come to Tianxiong Pass with Chen Yuan; at this moment, he quickly transmitted a message, pointing out a strategy.

Slowly build up the word count and updates, keep going.
