414: Water God's Treasure (4K monthly ticket required)

Yang Shan hurled the Ruyi Scepter into the air. With a flick of his sword finger, it glowed brightly, and a clap of thunder ripped through the night sky. A silver lightning bolt tore through the darkness, striking the Ruyi Scepter.

In an instant, the Ruyi Scepter seemed to melt under the lightning, spinning rapidly and transforming into a whip shadow. In a flash, it lashed out at the two Great Demons below, like a thunderbolt, piercing the air with a sharp whistle!

Below, the two Great Demons' eyes showed a ferocious glint as they both soared into the air. One Mie Meng Bird spread his hands, revealing a green Feather-Cutting Blade. The other Jue Duan spat out three glazed beads, half a zhang in size, one red, one green, and one black, all radiating dense Devilish Qi.

The red bead was as red as a blood-colored sun, containing a white bird, pure as white jade, with blood-red eyes, flapping its wings. It was a wisp of a soul, a Blazing Sun Bird, residing in a secluded valley. It would fly out at sunrise to bask in the sun, living by its light, and return to the secluded valley at sunset.

The green bead settled, and vines sprouted from the Void Realm, spreading upwards into the Void Realm. The black bead flashed, growing larger with the wind, rippling with waves. A wisp of white frost mist spread from it, releasing an astonishing chill that quickly froze the surrounding wind and snow.

The three demonic orbs, belonging to water, fire, and wood, were like three stars in a line, directly shooting towards the sky, causing the Void Realm to rumble.

“Crackling”

The air crackled with explosive sounds.

Numerous whip shadows, carrying lightning, lashed out in continuous strikes, engaging in a fierce battle with the two Great Demons' Dao Soldiers, the Green Feather Blade, and the Divine Treasure Demonic Orbs.

Ling Yunzi, observing from the side of the Void Realm, had eyes like electric light. He formed a sword incantation with his hands, controlling his Qingyun Sword, and shouted, “Go!”

With a whoosh, the Qingyun Sword transformed into a beam of light, swiftly departing from this battlefield and heading straight for the Gou Snake behind.

In the Void Realm behind, the Gou Snake, which had been knocked flying, steadied himself. His purple triangular eyes watched the approaching sword light, rage filling his heart. His massive python head opened with a hiss, rapidly compressing the air, and a piercing shriek, capable of shattering metal and stone, threatened to burst human eardrums.

Then, the huge sharp hook on his tail swung up, engaging in battle with the Qingyun Sword, producing loud clanging sounds.

In this way, the two Wu Zang from Wudao Mountain drew out three Great Demons, engaging in a fierce entanglement, unleashing various Great Divine Abilities that caused the Void Realm to shriek.

Below, Zhao Quanzhen, using an illusion spell, blended in with the chaotic Demons and thus infiltrated the protective Great Array.

Upon entering the Great Array, Zhao Quanzhen saw that it was filled with soft white light. Amidst the white light, there were scattered white specks of light, appearing beautiful and exquisite, and an extremely abundant Origin Qi surged into his nose and mouth.

If he hadn't known this was a Demonic Den, he would have almost thought he had entered the Holy Land behind the Sect!

Upon closer inspection, he saw a towering ancient tree, bathed entirely in white light, standing within. The tree was like white jade, its leaves a brilliant silver, about fifty zhang tall. White star-like specks of light emanated from its leaves, as pure as moonlight, like a legendary divine tree.

However, beneath the tree's roots was a horrifying sight: at the center of the Great Array, where the tree was rooted, stood an altar constructed from countless white bones, about three zhang high and a li in circumference, estimated to contain tens of thousands of corpses, a truly shocking and chilling sight.

Above the altar, ferocious and hideous Tiangou guarded the tree, and above the tree, a white pillar of light reached the heavens. Streaks of meteors descended, falling around the tree, revealing the Demons within.

At this moment, taking advantage of the chaos, Zhao Quanzhen's eyes quickly scanned the situation inside. When he saw the scene, his brows involuntarily twitched.

Is this the Zhennan Prefecture Yao Race's teleportation array?

What is the origin of this tree? It reminded him of a Qi Luck Spiritual Root, but the difference was too great; this tree lacked much Spiritual Nature.

He couldn't determine its origin, but this seemed to be the objective of this mission.

At this time, there was also a layer of guards around the Great Tree, making it impossible to approach easily.

Zhao Quanzhen's gaze flickered, and at this moment, the Demons from this direction surged back into the array, causing the array entrance to become a chaotic mess. Roars erupted from within, and some Demons roared in anger because some Demons, scared by the Human Race Martial Armory's might outside, fled in panic, even stepping on other creatures' heads.

In the chaos, two streaks of yellow light flew from under Zhao Quanzhen's feet, directly along the ground, and soon attached to the feet of two Demons guarding the front.

They were two yellow talismans!

Soon, those two Demons started arguing and began to fight fiercely.

However, in less than half an incense stick's time, a sinister and playful laugh echoed from within the black light Great Array,

“This Venerable One knew there would be crawling insects trying to sneak in during the chaos. Have you finally given in?”

Then, a muffled thud came from inside.

Afterward, the demonic voice was both angry and amused,

“Trying to escape?”

Not long after this voice fell, with a “boom,” the Demons blocking the exit of the black light Great Array were sent flying, and then a white light shot out from it.

Within that white light, Zhao Quanzhen, with silver hair and eyes like electricity, was clad in a silkworm robe imbued with flowing magical light, as he flew out of the array, a trace of crimson seeping from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, five or six small blue electric lights followed closely, extremely agile, but behind them, sharp sounds of air being torn apart rang out, and several white lights swept over, striking and shooting down these blue lights at high speed.

Seeing that only one blue light remained, Zhao Quanzhen suddenly twisted his body in mid-air, then flung his single hand, drawing it in from a distance, and captured the small blue light, revealing an object within.

A blue crystal ball the size of a fist, with tiny electric arcs flickering inside.

This was a small device called a Shadow Pearl!

Injecting True Qi could activate the electric arcs inside, recording the surrounding scene. Usually, it could record for about fifteen minutes at a time!

Zhao Quanzhen used this device, taking advantage of the chaos to deploy it and record the scene within the Great Array. However, he hadn't expected there to be a Great Demon guarding the Great Array, who saw through his actions, leading to the current situation.

Fortunately, he had the Dust-Repelling Robe bestowed by Senior Martial Uncle Yang Shan to protect him, which blocked the Demon's attack, allowing him to withdraw.

At this moment, Zhao Quanzhen twisted his body and quickly grabbed the last Shadow Pearl, his expression solemn. Facing the flying white moonlight, his eyes flickered intensely, and he let out a roar from his throat. With a flick of his other hand, a brilliant silver light shone, illuminating his ferocious face, as a long halberd materialized, slashing directly towards the flying light!

“Boom”

In an instant, a violent explosion occurred, the white light intensified, and the aftershock shook the Void Realm, roaring loudly.

In a breath, a meteor plummeted, striking the snow-covered ground with a thud, creating a large crater and landing amidst the demonic horde.

And a moon disc suddenly rose from the Great Array, like a full moon hanging high. A humanoid figure stepped through the air under the moon, clad in a moon robe, appearing incredibly handsome and otherworldly, with pointed ears, enveloped in moonlight, radiating a strange aura that was both sacred and evil. With each step he took, the Void Realm was frozen by white cold mist.

He casually waved his hand, and a crescent moon flew down, directly slashing at the falling stream of light.

“Quanzhen!”

Above, Ling Yunzi, his Senior Martial Uncle, who was entangled with the Gou Snake Great Demon's true form, saw this scene. His white brows shot up, and he formed a sword incantation with his hands. With a clang, he parried the Gou Snake's tail hook, then pointed his hands diagonally downwards.

The Qingyun Sword trembled greatly. A vibrant red tassel on its hilt vibrated with a humming sound, creating sword shadows. Immediately, a beam of sword light, like lightning, cut through the night sky, directly severing the crescent blade and intercepting it.

At this moment, the figure stepping above the black light Great Array spoke, his brilliant silver eyes looking at Senior Brother Yang Shan and Ling Yunzi, with a hint of coldness in his pupils, “The Ten Holy Clans are about to emerge completely. You seem to be the reinforcements brought by the Fa Shan Army, but it's merely a death struggle. Then let's kill you Human Race Martial Armory first to sacrifice a flag. The Ten Holy Clans have waited for a thousand years; no one can stop our descent!”

The Demon's tone was incredibly chilling. Then he roared up to the sky, and silver hairs, like sharp spikes, emerged from his human body. In an instant, he transformed into a gigantic Tiangou, his fur like silver, howling at the moon. His aura was much stronger than the other three Great Demons, almost reaching Wu Zang Peak.

Actually, it's quite simple: the Gou Snake, Mie Meng Bird, and Jue Duan are merely subordinate Yao Races of the Yin Mountain Tiangou. This Zhennan Prefecture is currently territory occupied by the Tiangou Race.

As this powerful Tiangou revealed his true form, the black light Great Array beneath his feet rumbled. The white jade Great Tree in the altar inside emitted a metallic clang and shook violently. Silver leaves rustled down, then transformed into streaks of silver light that flew out of the array.

This silver-furred Tiangou stepped on the flying leaves, as if riding a silver river, and charged directly towards the Void Realm where Ling Yunzi and Yang Shan were, uttering four chilling words from his mouth.

“Moon Shadow Demon Realm”!

As these words fell, the silver river formed by silver leaves exploded, scattering everywhere, flying profusely towards the Void Realm where Ling Yunzi and the other were, turning into tiny shimmering cold stars, rapidly sealing the Void Realm, and dense Origin Qi surged out.

In this interval, Yang Shan saw this scene, and his expression finally turned serious. He quickly sent a telepathic message to Ling Yunzi,

“Junior Brother, come to me. Retreat first, don't let this thing seal us in!”

“Quanzhen has my magical robe on him; he won't die yet.”

Ling Yunzi's brows furrowed. He glanced at the large pit below, only to see a brilliant golden light erupting from within. A figure, resembling a Buddhist Arhat, about twenty zhang tall, holding a Fangtian Halberd, emerged from the pit, roaring and sending the pouncing Demons flying.

It was none other than Zhao Quanzhen!

Ling Yunzi quickly flew towards his Senior Brother Yang Shan. The two gathered and retreated rapidly, only to see the silver leaves, like brilliant cold stars, move as if teleporting, quickly forming a encirclement, trapping the two.

Ling Yunzi's expression changed slightly. He launched the Qingyun Sword, which crashed into the silver light barrier and was repelled.

Seeing this, the four Great Demons either burst into maniacal laughter or revealed deep malice in their pupils, “Kill!”

The four Demons unleashed their Divine Abilities, charging towards the two.

“Senior Brother!” Ling Yunzi called out, seeing Yang Shan motionless.

But then, this Wu Zang Peak expert, one of the Eight Mountain People of Wudao Mountain, watched the four Demons move in unison, a faint light in his eyes, and said, “No matter.”

Immediately, he pointed at the lightning whip above his head, his eyes suddenly blazing. His clothes fluttered in the wind, rustling loudly, and his hair hairpin fell off, strands of hair flying up.

“Drawing a prison on the ground!”

Each word, each phrase, seemed to possess immense power.

“Rumble”

As the words fell, the lightning whip, transformed from the Ruyi Scepter in the sky, suddenly turned into an electric snake. With a crackle and a flash in the Void Realm, it drew a fiery red mark like molten lava. Then, lightning flashed wildly, striking and flashing around the Void Realm where the four Demons were, with lightning speed.

Soon, a fiery golden circle surrounded the four Great Demons in the Void Realm, its color like a red-hot branding iron.

“Clang”

The Mie Meng Bird's Green Feather Blade slashed directly at Ling Yunzi and the other, but when it reached the edge of the circle in the Void Realm, it was blocked by an invisible Qi wall, emitting a metallic sound.

The Divine Abilities of the other three Great Demons were also completely blocked!

Seeing this scene, the four Great Demons were stunned.

Yang Shan's eyes were sharp and cold!

This Divine Ability was his strongest, forged from the Fusion of all his lifelong learning, and it even contained a trace of the Heaven and Earth's creation he had comprehended. It could be used for both offense and defense!

This was his reliance. He had originally thought that with his Divine Ability, completing this mission would not be difficult. However, he had still underestimated the strength of this Demonic Den. A single Fu Gate was guarded by four Great Demons, which made him deeply worried about the current situation on the Sichuan battlefield.

“Junior Brother, quickly blast open this barrier and take Quanzhen away. He's exposed, and with so many Demons, and his injuries, he might not last much longer!” This Mountain Person's brows furrowed, looking diagonally downwards.

There, a surging tide of Demons rushed towards a giant, twenty zhang tall, with a body like golden glazed glass, holding a Fangtian Halberd, battling his way out, covered in blood.

Zhao Quanzhen was desperately trying to break through with the Shadow Pearl!

However, he had taken two hits from the silver Tiangou Great Demon. Although he was protected by a magical robe, he had suffered serious internal injuries. Furthermore, the Demons endlessly pouncing from above and below were simply dense, fearless, and like maggots on bones, making one's scalp tingle and his path to breakthrough difficult.

And just as the battle was in full swing, and the Demon Soldiers, like a demonic tide, surged towards the Southwest, eyes emerged from various ruins, tunnels, and even beneath the frozen river surfaces throughout the city. They blended into the night, and in unison, they looked at the horrifying scene above the city, their faces filled with surprise.

What was happening at the Demon positions in the city? Who was attacking?

At this moment, about a li away from the battlefield, in a hidden high-rise ruin, a figure slumped breathlessly by a collapsed half-window, gazing into the distance. Seeing the young man besieged by Demons, his expression tightened.

Ji Lianshan took out the whistle he had given to the Great Sect disciple, which had been returned, put it to his lips, and blew hard!

“Whoosh”

A sharp, urgent whistle echoed in the night sky, traveling far and wide.

And as soon as this whistle sounded, the eyes hidden in the darkness immediately trembled.

Then, these figures used their methods to quickly infiltrate the city. These people were all covered in camouflage paint!

These people included secret agents who had continuously infiltrated Zhennan Prefecture from the front-line Chuanzhong Pass over several months!

There were also Fa Shan Army Captains who had continuously ventured into dangerous territory to carry out missions in the past few days!

These people who could survive in the Demonic Den were all elites.

And just as the battle at Zhennan Prefecture Fu Gate reached a critical moment, thousands of miles away in the Demon Forbidden Land, beneath the sand sea, Chen Yuan's refinement of the treasure ship also reached a critical juncture!

The Land of Creation was sealed, and he had successfully refined the ship's body. The next step was to send it into the Five Zang Organs.

This time, it was into the Water of the Kidneys, the Water Divine Treasure!

In the cave, Chen Yuan took a deep breath. The golden fire line, enveloping the treasure ship, rapidly shrunk, transforming into a golden light that was absorbed into his mouth. (End of Chapter)
