Chapter 1234: Extinguish the Enemy

Yuan Gang remained motionless, as if frozen in mid-air.

The blue thunderclouds churned violently like boiling water. A large number of blue lightning orbs, each the size of a watermelon, poured down and struck Yuan Gang's body.

A thunderous roar echoed as a dazzling expanse of blue lightning enveloped Yuan Gang, accompanied by a faint, mournful shriek.

The next moment, a mountain-sized Ocean Stabilizing Pearl descended from the sky, striking fiercely.

Dozens of massive blue light blades flew out, striking towards the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl.

Clang, clang, clang!

A series of muffled thuds ensued, but the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl remained unharmed.

From within the blue lightning, a green light shot out, transforming into a giant green hand over thirty zhang in size, and slapped towards the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl.

The Ocean Suppressing Ape let out a piercing roar. Upon hearing this sound, the Fiery Cloud Recluse found himself unable to use any spiritual power and plummeted from the sky.

The Ocean Stabilizing Pearl glowed with brilliant blue radiance, releasing tendrils of water vapor, and smashed down forcefully.

With a shriek of agony, the entire deserted island shook violently, and a massive crater was gouged into the ground.

A green light flashed, and a miniature nascent soul, clutching a green jade tablet, shot out. The mini nascent soul, its face filled with terror, flew towards the sky.

Just then, a rapid ringing of bells sounded, causing the mini nascent soul's expression to become blank, and it stopped in its tracks.

Seizing this opportune moment, the void rippled, and a large, hazy blue hand materialized out of thin air. Like plucking the moon from the sea, it instantly seized the mini nascent soul.

Boom!

The blue giant hand erupted with a blinding green light. A green "scorching sun" with a diameter of a hundred zhang appeared in the sky, engulfing an area of over ten miles in a powerful blast wave. Where the wave passed, dozens of mountain peaks were leveled, trees and boulders were directly reduced to dust, and a gentle breeze scattered them without a trace.

Yuan Gang, with his fierce temperament, detonated himself when he realized escape was impossible.

Upon his death, the golden luan bird plummeted from the sky, transforming into a gleaming golden metallic sphere that landed on the ground.

The Fiery Cloud Recluse was scared half to death. He had never imagined that the spirit beast released by Wang Changsheng possessed such formidable divine abilities.

Had he known this earlier, even if Yuan Gang had sent ten beautiful women to his bed, he would never have agreed to team up with him against Wang Changsheng.

He changed his incantation, and a fierce wind arose. Countless crimson sand particles condensed into a crimson fire dragon over thirty zhang long, lunging towards Fairy Ziyue.

He flipped his palm, and a talisman, its surface shimmering with shifting red light, appeared in his hand. The talisman bore a lifelike fiery raven pattern.

Just then, a sharp roar echoed, and the Fiery Cloud Recluse horrifyingly realized he had temporarily lost his spiritual power.

The void twisted, and a ten-zhang-sized blue giant palm materialized out of thin air. Its surface was covered in blue electric arcs—it was precisely the Spirit Slaying Palm.

The blue giant palm, accompanied by a whistling sound, slammed hard onto the Fiery Cloud Recluse's body.

With a shriek, a vast expanse of blue lightning engulfed the Fiery Cloud Recluse's body, emitting a miserable cry.

The Grand Vast Spirit-Slaying Blade in Wang Changsheng's hand danced wildly. Dozens of hazy blue light blades shot out, converged, and transformed into a blue light blade over a hundred zhang long, striking towards the blue lightning.

Fairy Ziyue conjured three shimmering red flying daggers, which turned into three crimson rainbows, heading straight for the Fiery Cloud Recluse.

The blue light blade and the crimson rainbows successively plunged into the blue lightning. However, a series of "clanging" metallic collision sounds echoed, and the three crimson flying daggers were sent flying back.

Squawk!

A three-zhang-sized crimson fiery raven, with four wings on its back and three legs, flew out from the blue lightning. Judging by its aura, it was clearly a fourth-tier spirit bird.

A fourth-tier Monster Transformation Talisman. Besides the Fiery Raven Bottle, an ancient treasure, the Fiery Cloud Recluse also possessed a Monster Transformation Talisman as a trump card. He could transform into a demonic beast form to attack enemies, but naturally, once the talisman's power was depleted, he would revert to his original form.

The crimson fiery raven spread its wings and flew towards the sky, covering a hundred zhang in an instant.

The Fiery Cloud Recluse wasn't using the Monster Transformation Talisman to fight to the death, but to escape with his life.

With two Nascent Soul cultivators and a fourth-tier spirit beast against him, he would have to be insane to fight to the death.

A sharp beast roar sounded, and the Ocean Suppressing Ape once again unleashed its Spirit Suppressing Roar. Simultaneously, a series of clear bell chimes rang out.

With both the Spirit Suppressing Roar and the Soul Captivating Bell working in tandem, Wang Changsheng didn't believe they couldn't subdue the Fiery Cloud Recluse.

As he expected, the crimson fiery raven suddenly stopped.

The Ocean Suppressing Ape opened its mouth and spewed out a thick blue lightning bolt, heading directly for the crimson fiery raven.

Boom!

The blue lightning struck the crimson fiery raven, instantly erupting, and a sheet of blue lightning engulfed the raven's body.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A series of arrow-like whistles sounded, and three green rainbows shot forth. Just as the green rainbows were about to plunge into the blue lightning, a thick burst of crimson flames flew out to meet them.

The green and crimson lights clashed, and a large expanse of green electric arcs emerged, shattering the crimson flames. The green rainbows then plunged into the blue lightning, followed by a scream of agony.

Wang Changsheng's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly warned, "Watch out for his sneak attack!"

No sooner had he spoken than a gust of hot wind suddenly swept past Fairy Ziyue's back. A massive crimson fiery raven abruptly appeared behind her.

The crimson fiery raven opened its mouth and spewed rolling flames, engulfing Fairy Ziyue's body. Its three sharp claws then raked through the sea of fire.

Fairy Ziyue let out a shriek of pain and was sent flying backward. Her protective spiritual light vanished, and her spiritual robe was torn to shreds, leaving her upper body bare. She wore a lavender lotus-embroidered bodice, her ample chest seemingly about to burst from her clothing. A pale purple light barrier enveloped her entire body, and two horrifying bloody gashes on her left shoulder faintly revealed bone.

Her spiritual robe was not a fourth-tier one and thus couldn't withstand the demonic bird's sharp claws.

Had she not evaded in time, she would have perished.

Having failed to incapacitate her with one strike, the crimson fiery raven attempted to continue attacking Fairy Ziyue.

Since Wang Changsheng and Fairy Ziyue were unwilling to let him go, he would fight to the death, resolved to take one of them down with him.

Just then, a powerful gravitational force suddenly emerged from below, as if an invisible giant hand was pulling the crimson fiery raven towards the seabed.

The crimson fiery raven flapped its wings violently, and a large expanse of crimson flames erupted from its body.

After a rapid ringing of bells sounded, it displayed a pained expression.

Nine blue lights illuminated the seawater, and the gravitational force drastically increased. The calm sea water suddenly began to spin rapidly, creating a massive vortex a thousand zhang in diameter.

The void rippled, and a ten-zhang-sized blue giant palm materialized out of thin air, slamming forcefully towards the crimson fiery raven.

After a shriek of agony, the crimson fiery raven quickly flew towards the surface of the sea. It furiously flapped its wings, and spiritual light flickered across its body, but it was useless. How could it contend against nine Ocean Stabilizing Pearls? The immense gravity dragged the crimson fiery raven into the massive vortex, and the pressure from the rapidly spinning seawater directly crushed its body.

A flash of fire, and a miniature nascent soul, resembling the Fiery Cloud Recluse, flew out from the colossal vortex.

No sooner had it flown out of the vortex than a thick purple light pillar descended from the sky, enveloping the mini nascent soul. It was the Purple Moon Profound Light.

The mini nascent soul instantly froze in mid-air, motionless.

A silver talisman shot over and adhered to the mini nascent soul's body, causing its expression to become blank.

Wang Changsheng placed the Fiery Cloud Recluse's nascent soul into a jade box and affixed another talisman to it.

"Junior Sister, are you alright?" Wang Changsheng looked at Fairy Ziyue, asking with concern.

Fairy Ziyue had already taken out a purple robe to cover herself.

"I'm fine," Fairy Ziyue said weakly, looking very frail, "but I'll need to find a place to recuperate for a while."

"A Nascent Soul cultivator is approaching; we need to leave quickly!" Wang Changsheng suddenly looked towards the distant horizon, hastily put away the fourth-tier puppet beast and the belongings scattered on the ground. He then casually threw a fireball, incinerating Yuan Gang's corpse. He and Fairy Ziyue then jumped into the sea, with the Ocean Suppressing Ape following closely behind.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, a streak of green light flew from the distant horizon and stopped above the deserted island.

The green light receded, revealing a benevolent-looking elder in a green robe. The elder's robe bore a sun-and-moon pattern, clearly indicating he was a cultivator from the Sun and Moon Palace.

He glanced at the massive crater on the deserted island, looking somewhat uncertain and surprised. He muttered to himself, "That sounded like the Ocean Suppressing Ape's unique divine ability, the Spirit Suppressing Roar. Have the remnants of the Ocean Suppressing Sect not been completely wiped out yet?"

He flew down onto the deserted island and inspected it carefully. In one of the giant craters, he found a piece of tattered cloth embroidered with a miniature yellow flood dragon pattern—the emblem of Yellow Dragon Island.

"Yellow Dragon Island... Could it be that cultivators from Yellow Dragon Island discovered the whereabouts of the Ocean Suppressing Sect remnants and were silenced?" The green-robed elder's expression flickered erratically. After a brief hesitation, he returned the way he came.
