Chapter 3072: Chizu (Gone Today)

The vast Mangshan Mountain Range spans over a hundred million miles, home to many powerful demonic beasts that attract numerous cultivators who come to hunt them.

With a deafening roar, dense silver lightning appeared deep within the mountain range, causing the ground to shake slightly.

Deep within the mountain range, a dense green forest erupted in fierce flames, with the blaze soaring skyward.

The ground was pockmarked with over a hundred smoking craters.

Wang Mengbin stood high in the sky, a cold expression on his face, his body enveloped by countless silver electric arcs. In his hand, he held the Five-Thunder Halberd, resembling a thunder god.

The faces of Wang Yingjie and the other three were slightly pale, while True Lord Hunyuan looked relaxed. Wang Long stood nearby, his expression excited.

Four corpses lay on the ground not far away. Upon closer inspection, they were revealed to be four exotic beasts with fox heads, ape bodies, bird wings, and snake tails. Two of the bodies were completely charred black, each with a horrific blood-hole in its chest.

One body was riddled with holes, a gruesome sight, while another had its essence and blood completely drained.

"It's finally resolved," Liu Hongxue said with a smile. "Fortunately, Ancestor Mengbin's lightning technique is formidable; otherwise, the outcome would have been hard to predict."

"There's no need for pleasantries," Wang Mengbin urged, dismissively. "Let's get going soon! We should reach Tianyu Mountain as quickly as possible."

Wang Yingjie and the others collected the demonic beasts' corpses and boarded the silver flying boat.

"Let's go!" Wang Mengbin performed a hand seal, and the silver flying boat immediately glowed with silver light, soaring rapidly into the sky.

After the silver flying boat had traveled over a hundred thousand miles, a deafening roar resounded, and a massive ball of crimson light shot into the sky, strikingly conspicuous.

The silver flying boat stopped, and Wang Mengbin's brows furrowed deeply.

This was the territory of the Chi clan. While the Chi clan had a decent relationship with the human race, this didn't mean that members of both races would always coexist peacefully. To avoid trouble, it was better to steer clear.

"Someone's coming, a Void Refinement cultivator!" Just as Wang Mengbin was about to maneuver the silver flying boat to land, the distant ground began to shake as if an earthquake had struck, and large amounts of rubble rolled down the mountains.

Wang Yingjie released a small white beast, a Cloud Beast, which had already advanced to the sixth rank.

The Cloud Beast's body emitted a brilliant white light, transforming into a massive white cloud.

"Let's hide on the Cloud Beast!" Wang Yingjie called out, stepping onto the Cloud Beast.

"A Cloud Beast!" True Lord Hunyuan exclaimed, a flicker of surprise in his eyes upon seeing it.

Since the destruction of the Xutian clan, Cloud Beasts had become very rare, let alone a sixth-rank Cloud Beast.

They all stepped onto the Cloud Beast, and its body continuously expanded, engulfing their figures.

Even if a Void Refinement cultivator used their divine sense to investigate, they wouldn't be able to detect their presence; the Cloud Beast's concealment ability was quite formidable.

A moment later, a red streak of light flew from the distance, moving very quickly.

Weeds on the ground were uprooted, transforming into numerous green flying swords that shot directly toward the red streak of light. Sand and stones flew up, coalescing into yellow flying swords that struck at the red streak of light.

The red streak of light stopped, revealing a robust man in a red shirt. He had a pair of red tentacles on his head and some red tentacles on his arms. His body was covered in blood, and there were several horrific gashes on his back.

Judging by his aura, he was clearly a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator.

Seeing the dense volley of flying swords approaching, the robust man in the red shirt waved his arms, causing countless crimson flames to surge forth, which formed a massive crimson fire cloud to meet the attack.

After a series of thunderous booms, the crimson fire cloud shattered the incoming flying swords.

A clear and resonant sword hum rang out, and a shimmering golden sword light materialized out of thin air, slashing downward. Before it even landed, the void tore open, revealing a thick, long rift.

The tentacles on the robust man in the red shirt's body sprayed a reddish glow, enveloping the golden sword light. The golden sword light seemed to be frozen in place, coming to a halt.

The ground shook violently, and terrifying cracks appeared. Countless chunks of earth and stone flew out, transforming into numerous yellow flying swords that slashed toward the robust man in the red shirt.

The robust man in the red shirt hastily summoned a shimmering red shield, blocking the incoming yellow flying swords. However, soon after, seven golden long-streaks of light flew from the distance, revealed to be seven glittering golden flying swords. The seven golden flying swords instantly merged into one, forming a resplendent golden colossal sword, which shot directly toward the robust man in the red shirt.

The robust man in the red shirt was greatly alarmed. Just as he was about to evade, the ground burst open, and a massive yellow python emerged from beneath. The ground then glowed with a yellow light, creating a powerful gravitational force.

His body uncontrollably plummeted toward the ground. His body radiated a brilliant red light, and a crimson flame surged from his right fist, which he slammed into the empty space above the ground.

A red flash, and a vast expanse of crimson flames swept forth, forming a gigantic red fiery fist that smashed toward the yellow python.

The red fiery fist struck the yellow python, transforming into rolling flames that engulfed the python's body. However, soon after, a yellow light emerged from within the flames, and the intense flames flickered violently before dying out.

With this delay, the colossal sword had already caught up and slashed down directly.

The robust man in the red shirt's body seemed to be restrained, making it difficult for him to even move. His face turned beet red, countless red runes appeared on his body, his physique swelled, and with a movement of his arms, he met the attack.

With a shriek, the robust man in the red shirt's body was sliced into two by the colossal sword as if it were thin paper. As soon as a miniature nascent soul left his body, the colossal sword lightly vibrated, and a vast expanse of sharp golden sword energy swept forth, engulfing the miniature nascent soul and shattering it to pieces.

A golden streak of light appeared in the distant sky. Not long after, the golden streak of light stopped, revealing a tall, slender girl in a golden dress, her features as exquisite as a painting, and carrying an elegant golden sword case on her back.

She performed a hand seal, and the colossal sword transformed back into seven golden flying swords, which flew back into her sword case and disappeared.

She collected the robust man in the red shirt's belongings and left along the path she came. The yellow python submerged back into the ground and vanished.

After roughly fifteen minutes, a white cloud billowed and swirled, revealing the figures of Wang Mengbin and the other five.

"Yingjie, do you feel like you've seen the divine ability she used somewhere before?" Wang Mengbin asked via spiritual transmission.

"Yes, it resembles the Myriad Spirit Sword Scripture cultivated by Ancestor Qingshan," Wang Yingjie replied via spiritual transmission.

The family's dark hall had stationed many operatives in the Azure Glaze Sea Region. Besides searching for the Water of the Underworld River, they were also searching for the complete cultivation method of the Myriad Spirit Sword Scripture. Unfortunately, there had been no news.

Back then, Wang Mengbin had obtained the cultivation method of the Myriad Spirit Sword Scripture in the Azure Glaze Sea Region, but it wasn't the complete version.

The divine ability displayed by the girl in the golden dress bore a striking resemblance to the Myriad Spirit Sword Scripture's divine abilities. Could it be that the founder of the Myriad Spirit Sword Scripture came from the Qianyuan Continent? Or, perhaps, a complete version of the Myriad Spirit Sword Scripture exists here?

Wang Mengbin nodded; he also felt it was very similar.

"This person is definitely not an unknown individual. We might even see her at an auction. Let's go! Let's leave this place quickly," Wang Mengbin said. He then summoned the silver flying boat, carrying Wang Yingjie and the other five away from the area.
