159: Please turn around, ancestor.

If it had been three days ago, the four of them working together to kill four Dongxuan Realm oddities would not have been an issue.

But now, they were exhausted, their magical power greatly depleted, and their condition had significantly deteriorated.

Moreover, there were countless oddities arrayed on the sidelines.

Roar—

At this moment, the Profound Cave oddity roared, its body becoming transparent, as if it had vanished into the Void Realm.

The few people quickly activated their Spirit Eye Technique to search for its tracks.

Suddenly, the Void Realm twisted and writhed, giving birth to four dream-like colorful bubbles that swallowed them.

“Another dimension… to kill us separately, perhaps…”

The Kunpeng Avatar’s gaze swept around, as if it were in a land of nothingness, devoid of any living aura.

Whoosh—

A dark, sharp claw suddenly shot out, aiming directly for the heart behind him. At the critical moment, however, a metallic clang sounded, and the claw was firmly clamped by a pair of iron arms like Vajra.

A demonic image appeared behind him, displaying its eight-armed form, and a phantom of a Shura emerged on its body.

Shura Dao!

With a stomp of its foot, the aura of Hell spread, permeating layer by layer, and countless ghostly phantoms appeared in the Void Realm, extending their ghostly arms to entangle the Profound Cave oddity.

Crack… snap…

The demonic image suddenly exerted force, breaking one of the Profound Cave oddity’s dark, sharp claws. Foul-smelling fluid secreted from the broken claw, dripping onto the ground with a sizzling, corrosive sound.

Roar—

The Profound Cave oddity’s head suddenly split into countless petals, transforming into a chrysanthemum-like shape and biting at him.

The demonic image’s eight arms waved like the wind, and its fist-winds rained down, instantly smashing the oddity into a pile of rotten flesh.

However, the Kunpeng Avatar frowned slightly. In his vision, the pile of oddity flesh continued to writhe, and black raindrops fell from the Void Realm, seeping into the flesh. The oddity rapidly restored its form.

“dao karma… the key is to eliminate the dao karma, isn’t it…”

The Kunpeng Avatar’s body shook, and the dao karma rainwater that landed on him was evaporated.

If the dao karma were to seep into the flesh, the body would gradually mutate, and even the mind would become twisted.

It might even degenerate into the fifth Profound Cave oddity.

‘I must act quickly…’

Thinking of the dao karma raindrops, the Kunpeng Avatar was not optimistic about the situation of the other three.

His blood and Qi circulated, and his body was covered with a misty blood-red glow. The Kunpeng Avatar’s figure swelled against the wind, transforming into a hundred-zhang giant.

Boom—

An arm wreathed in green wind Qi pierced through the clouds and slammed down, instantly smashing the Profound Cave oddity into a pile of meat paste once more.

Mysterious force was unleashed from his palm, extracting strands of dao karma essence, which transformed into a silver sphere swallowed by the demonic image.

At the same time, the surrounding space, like mottled old wall plaster, rapidly collapsed and disappeared, revealing the outside scene.

At this moment, only two of the dream-like bubbles remained.

Through the hazy light, figures could vaguely be seen fighting inside.

“One is missing…”

The Kunpeng Avatar frowned slightly.

At this moment, the two bubbles burst with a ‘pop’, and as the sky full of dao karma dissipated, two figures appeared.

It was the scabby-headed old beggar and Xuan Xin.

Both were panting heavily, their faces pale, clearly having expended considerable energy.

“Hmm? Where is Zhang He?”

Xuan Xin asked.

“I’m not sure.

However, it seems I was the second to break the bubble.

When I came out, I didn’t see this person.”

The Kunpeng Avatar replied.

The old beggar snorted coldly: “Hmph, that fellow actually hogged everything.

Later, when we enter the hall, if that Refined Corpse doesn’t cough up a portion of the Opportunity, this old man will surely pull out his corpse teeth and refine them into a chew toy for my Spirit Beast.”

As he spoke, he patted the gray leather pouch hanging from his waist, and a drooling, dark-green frog-beast leaped out.

It was about two zhang tall, its skin covered with dark-green stripes, its two eyes glowed crimson like lamps, and it exhaled black mist from its mouth, emitting a deadly poison.

An ancient Ink Poison Toad.

Xuan Xin and the Kunpeng Avatar frowned.

A Dongxuan Realm Spirit Pet!

Coupled with the old beggar, that was two Profound Cave Realm combat powers.

“Fellow Daoist, your foundation is indeed profound, to be able to subdue a Dongxuan Realm Demon King and take it as a Spirit Pet.

If you are skilled in combined attack techniques, I fear ordinary Profound Cave Cultivators are far from being your match.” the Kunpeng Avatar said.

“Hehehe.” The old beggar reached out a filthy finger to stroke the frog-beast, teasingly saying, “This old man is Liu Wuxiang, the Thirteenth Elder of the Southern Wilderness Beast Taming Sect.

Please excuse my rudeness.”

He was actually a Cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect, a great Yang Spirit Realm sect in the Southern Wilderness!

“So it’s a Fellow Daoist from the Beast Taming Sect, a great Yang Spirit Realm sect…” The Kunpeng Avatar’s gaze swept towards the depths of the golden hall: “Excellent, with Fellow Daoist’s assistance.

Our chances for this journey have increased by another point.”

The three discussed and agreed to jointly pressure Zhang He to make him hand over the treasures in the golden hall.

After all, he had broken their agreement first.

If he dared to resist, they would not hesitate to gang up on him.

Entering the golden hall, passing through the corridor, the three headed straight for a treasure room in the southwest.

Their senses told them that the Spiritual Qi was most abundant there.

As soon as they stepped in, seven Spirit Treasure-level Flying Swords, flying shuttles, and gourds lay on the weapon rack, shining with dazzling brilliance.

A terrifying aura rushed towards them.

“We’re rich! Seven Spirit Treasures!

And with ample spiritual charm, they haven’t been corroded by time at all, their power undiminished.”

“Just with this batch of Spirit Treasures, even if I don’t get the Forgetfulness River, it won’t be a loss.”

“Let’s get them first, then discuss how to divide them.”

“Alright.”

As the three were about to take the Spirit Treasures, a gray-yellow Profound Light Restriction appeared three zhang from the weapon rack, transforming into a Dragon phantom, forcefully cutting them off and roaring at them.

“Profound Yellow Dragon Sealing Restriction Light… I didn’t expect this Formation to still be effective after such a long time.”

Liu Wuxiang sighed.

The three exchanged glances, each casting their Dao techniques, striking the Profound Yellow Dragon phantom.

The Dragon phantom trembled, wailing continuously, but mysterious power surged in the surrounding Void Realm, constantly replenishing it, actually suppressing the Dragon phantom’s dissipation.

Xuan Xin frowned slightly: “This Formation is quite powerful.

The most troublesome thing is that the Formation’s power is connected to the entire Immortal Cave.

To break it by force, the three of us would need to attack for another ten days and ten nights before we would have a chance.”

For a moment, the old beggar Liu Wuxiang beside her also looked troubled.

Just now, his Spirit Pet, the Ink Poison Toad, exhaled poisonous mist to corrode the Yellow Dragon, but it also had no noticeable effect.

The Kunpeng Avatar’s eyes darkened slightly: “I do have a method.

But the distribution of these Spirit Treasures…”

Liu Wuxiang sighed and said, “If you have a way to break this Formation, you can prioritize choosing three Spirit Treasures.”

After speaking, the two looked at Xuan Xin, who merely nodded in silent assent.

“It’s a deal.”

The Kunpeng Avatar’s soul sea churned, and a sealed five-colored light escaped from his soul sea, condensing in his palm, like a five-colored feather fan.

“Five Elements Restriction Breaking Divine Light!”

“Fellow Daoist, you have actually mastered this Divine Ability!”

The two were repeatedly astonished.

The Five Elements Restriction Breaking Divine Light was a wondrous Divine Ability in the world specifically for breaking Restrictions, incredibly sharp, so breaking this Formation was naturally not a problem.

“Go.”

A brilliant five-colored light swept past, merging into the Dragon head. Immediately, the Yellow Dragon wailed, its body gradually melting and dissipating into a wisp of green smoke.

At the same time, the suppressive Formation power in the Void Realm suddenly vanished.

The Kunpeng Avatar drew with his palm.

Three Spirit Treasures were obtained.

A purple-gold-red gourd, a flying Magical Artifact called Cloud Piercing Shuttle, and a green Flying Sword inscribed with the characters ‘Bi Yao’.

‘The Flying Sword and Cloud Piercing Shuttle are fine, but the aura of this purple-gold-red gourd is subtly the strongest…’

Black Qi seeped in, silently refining it, and the Kunpeng Avatar’s eyes lit up.

This purple-gold-red gourd was actually an offensive Spirit Treasure specifically for containing Flying Swords and nurturing Sword Qi.

It contained a supremely powerful Divine Ability.

Named ‘Please Old Ancestor Turn Around’.
