Chapter 2135: Initial Battle of the Combined Cultivator's Clone

A yellow mountain range, stretching for millions of miles, lay before them. Its peaks were bare and barren, with sparse vegetation, creating a desolate landscape.

A red streak of light appeared high in the sky, rapidly flying towards the range, covering ten li in an instant.

The ground shook violently, and a massive earth mound swelled up, moving swiftly. Countless rocks and earth flew up, hurtling towards the red streak of light.

A red light flashed, and a wave of crimson flames swept out, meeting the incoming projectiles.

A deafening roar erupted as the earth and stones were pulverized by the red flames, sending smoke and dust billowing.

The red streak of light intensified, its speed more than doubling.

As space rippled, a shimmering red dragon claw materialized out of thin air, swiping at the red streak of light.

A woman's sharp, agonizing shriek pierced the air, and the red streak of light plummeted rapidly towards the ground.

With a loud crash, the red streak of light slammed into a tall peak, raising clouds of dust.

As the dust settled, a tall maiden in a red dress was revealed. She had a melon-seed-shaped face, bright eyes, cherry lips, and a graceful nose, with a red jade hairpin adorning her hair.

It was Mu Yuyan, Song Yuchan's clone. Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with terror.

With thunderous rumbling, the ground shook violently again, and the earth mound rapidly moved towards Mu Yuyan.

Mu Yuyan's right hand twitched, and a short blade, glowing with shifting red light, appeared in her grasp. She swung it at the earth mound.

A tearing sound filled the air as a crimson long rainbow swept out, striking the earth mound.

With a loud bang, the earth mound halted, sending rocks and earth flying and creating a cloud of dust.

The ground suddenly lit up with a dazzling yellow light, and a yellow pillar of light abruptly shot out from beneath the earth, heading straight for Mu Yuyan.

Mu Yuyan quickly wielded her red short blade, parrying the attack.

Following a thunderous crash, Mu Yuyan was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, coughing up blood, her face turning even paler.

A giant, entirely yellow python emerged from the ground. It had a yellow horn on its head, yellow eyes, and its body was covered in countless yellow scales.

"You killed my disciple right in front of me; surely you don't think you can still escape!"

A cold, ruthless male voice echoed from the horizon, reverberating for a hundred miles around.

Mu Yuyan's beautiful face changed, as if the speaker were some terrifying demon.

She quickly formed a hand seal, and the pair of red spiritual boots on her feet glowed intensely, transforming into a red streak of light that tore through the air to escape.

A heaven-shattering tiger roar resounded, causing wind and clouds to churn.

Upon hearing the sound, Mu Yuyan abruptly stopped, her gaze vacant.

Ripples spread above her head, and a massive red dragon claw materialized out of nowhere, striking towards her head.

Just then, points of blue water vapor surged around Mu Yuyan. The blue vapor suddenly condensed, forming a blue hand hundreds of feet large, which slapped towards the red dragon claw.

With a loud crash, the red dragon claw and the blue hand annihilated each other, unleashing a powerful energy wave that swept Mu Yuyan away.

A red streak of light appeared on the distant horizon, rapidly flying towards the scene.

Concurrently, three more streaks of light approached from the distant sky.

Not long after, all four streaks of light halted almost simultaneously. The three streaks belonged to Wang Changsheng and his companions, while the red streak was a giant beast over ten feet long, with the head of an ape, the body of a tiger, the wings of a bird, and the tail of a snake, covered in red bristles.

Su Yuntao and five other cultivators from the Myriad Spirit Sect stood atop it, Su Yuntao's expression cold.

They had encountered Mu Yuyan earlier but had not taken her seriously. Three of their disciples had attacked her, yet to their surprise, Mu Yuyan had killed one of them.

"Excellent! Four more have joined us," Su Yuntao sneered, his face filled with murderous intent.

"Junior Brother Wang, Junior Sister Wang, he might be an Integration Stage old monster's clone. He wields multiple secret techniques and numerous treasures," Mu Yuyan transmitted to Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, her tone heavy.

If he were an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, she wouldn't be in such a sorry state, even if she couldn't defeat him.

"An Integration Stage old monster's clone?" Wang Changsheng's face hardened, full of vigilance.

Su Yuntao flicked his sleeve, and a shimmering banner flew out, instantly growing to over a hundred feet tall. Its flag surface depicted eighteen types of demonic beasts, including flood dragons, peacocks, giant apes, and spirit butterflies, emitting roars, chirps, and insect calls, radiating astonishing spiritual energy.

It was the Mid-Grade Heaven Beast Banner, a replica of the Myriad Beast Banner, one of the Myriad Spirit Sect's seven core treasures, into which the souls of eighteen demonic beasts had been refined.

Fang Fei and the other four Myriad Spirit Sect disciples either conjured treasures or summoned spiritual beasts and birds, clearly preparing for a major battle.

A golden giant tiger pattern emerged on the Heaven Beast Banner's surface. The golden tiger's body was enveloped in golden flames, letting out a deafening roar.

Wang Ruyan and Ning Lan felt their spiritual energy stagnate and circulate sluggishly, and they became dizzy.

Wang Changsheng's Golden Chirping Pendant on his chest glowed with a dazzling golden light, enveloping the three of them, which made them feel much better.

A shimmering red dragon claw suddenly appeared above their heads, striking down at them.

Wang Changsheng flicked his sleeve, and his right hand glowed with a dazzling blue light. He punched upwards at the void above, and countless blue water vapors surged out, transforming into a blurry blue fist shadow that met the red dragon claw.

With a loud bang, the red dragon claw was shattered by the blue fist shadow.

Su Yuntao's face turned cold. He activated a hand seal, and the Heaven Beast Banner's surface instantly brightened. The eighteen demonic beasts seemed to come alive, flying out from the banner one after another, pouncing on Wang Changsheng and his three companions.

Fang Fei and the other four were not idle either, manipulating their magic treasures or spiritual beasts and birds to attack Wang Changsheng's group.

Seeing this, Mu Yuyan's face turned pale, and Ning Lan swallowed hard, her expression tense.

Wang Changsheng flicked his sleeve, and the Nine Flood Dragon Drum flew out. He moved his fists.

A series of sky-shattering dragon roars erupted, and waves of blurry blue sound waves swept out to meet the attackers.

Upon hearing the continuous dragon roars, Su Yuntao frowned, and the faces of Fang Fei and the other four showed pain, turning slightly pale.

A pure white flood dragon opened its gaping maw and spewed out a vast cloud of white icy mist to counter the attack, while the other demonic beasts simultaneously unleashed their spells.

A series of thunderous explosions rang out as the blue sound waves burst one after another, unleashing powerful energy waves that caused space to tremble and distort.

Blue light radiated brightly from Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's bodies. Wang Changsheng's aura surged, quickly reaching the level of a Refinement Stage cultivator.

"Combined technique! Are you core disciples of the Seawatch Palace? No, how could core disciples be sent to search for treasure in the Mystic Spirit Cave Heaven?" Su Yuntao exclaimed. The Seawatch Palace had a combined cultivation method for a man and a woman, allowing their spiritual energy to be superimposed. Disciples who cultivated this method were the future successors of the Seawatch Palace, and logically, they shouldn't be sent into the Mystic Spirit Cave Heaven to seek treasure.

He frowned and flicked two fingers, sending a red light flying out, striking a certain part of the void.

Ripples spread through that section of the void, and a golden light shot out to meet it.

With a loud crash, the golden light and red light annihilated each other, disappearing without a trace.

With a flash of spiritual light, six Nascent Soul cultivators, four men and two women, appeared. The leader was Zheng Qiuyue.
