Chapter 3123

The astonishing high temperature caused ripples in the void, and the ground showed signs of melting.

Soon, the five-colored blazing sun dispersed, and Wang Changsheng emerged unharmed. A thick blue water barrier enveloped his entire body, and even his Dharma Idol was completely undamaged; his Dharma Idol was least afraid of fire-based attacks.

The giant owl's phantom sprayed a beam of green light, which struck Wang Changsheng's Dharma Idol and pierced straight through it, yet the Dharma Idol remained completely intact.

The River Styx water combined both rigidity and flexibility, serving for both offense and defense.

Witnessing this, Xiaofeng was greatly alarmed. He hadn't expected that even a seventh-tier Five-Flame Spirit Extinction Talisman couldn't harm Wang Changsheng, nor affect his Dharma Idol.

Xiaofeng couldn't be blamed for this; most cultivators who had fought Wang Changsheng in the Integration Stage had died. The few who survived did so by fleeing quickly.

According to the intelligence gathered by the Lizard Clan, Wang Changsheng cultivated both magic and body. Generally, the Dharma Idols of cultivators who practice both are forged with materials that enhance toughness, such as Xi Cloud Jade, Ink Marrow Stone, or Golden Adamant Crystal, giving the Dharma Idol immense strength and destructive power.

Knowing that excessive rigidity breaks easily, Wang Changsheng chose to forge his Dharma Idol with the River Styx water precisely because of its characteristic blend of rigidity and flexibility.

Seeing that Wang Changsheng's Dharma Idol was black, Xiaofeng instinctively assumed Wang Changsheng had used Black Marrow Stone to forge it, which was why he used the Five-Flame Spirit Extinction Talisman against Wang Changsheng's Dharma Idol.

It now seemed that Wang Changsheng's Dharma Idol was forged from a special material and was completely invulnerable to fire-element spell attacks.

Xiaofeng felt a desire to retreat and intended to use his Wind Evasion technique to escape.

Wang Changsheng let out a mighty roar, the Divine Suppressing Roar.

Xiaofeng's brows furrowed tightly, and his body trembled slightly.

The human-shaped phantom turned around, formed fists with its hands, and slammed them into the giant owl's phantom.

After a series of muffled thuds, the giant owl's phantom let out a pained shriek, and its body visibly froze. A layer of black ice covered the giant owl's phantom, rapidly spreading.

Wang Changsheng turned around, moved his arms, and struck towards Xiaofeng.

Xiaofeng was greatly alarmed, frantically flapped the green wings on his back, attempting to use his Wind Evasion technique to dodge, but the technique failed.

The Wind-Stabilizing Pearl floated high in the sky, flickering continuously.

Seeing this situation, Xiaofeng transformed his hands into claws and lunged directly at Wang Changsheng.

The two misty green bird claws collided with Wang Changsheng's fists. After two muffled thuds, Xiaofeng let out a pained shriek, his claws snapped, and blood streamed out.

Wang Changsheng had consumed many spirit elixirs and miraculous medicines that tempered the body, making his physical body exceptionally powerful. Xiaofeng was no match for him; he was more skilled in evasion speed.

Xiaofeng opened his mouth and spat out a misty green long blade, slashing towards Wang Changsheng.

The human-shaped phantom moved its arms, seizing the green long blade like lightning. The green long blade shook violently, and a thin layer of black ice appeared on its surface, rapidly spreading and thickening.

Before long, the green long blade transformed into a motionless black ice blade.

Xiaofeng was dumbfounded, wondering what kind of material this was. He had never seen anything like it before.

He had no time to think further as dense blue fist shadows shot towards him, striking Xiaofeng's body one after another.

After a scream, Xiaofeng's head was smashed to pieces. A miniature owl bird flew out, was enveloped by a blue glow, and was drawn into a blue jade bottle.

By this time, Bu Hao had already fled.

A loud explosion echoed, followed by Gongsun Yang's urgent voice, instructing Wang Changsheng to stop him.

Wang Changsheng turned his head to see a rosy-faced elder in red robes flying towards him. The elder's left arm was gone, blood was streaming, and his aura was weak.

In the distance, a massive cluster of green lightning could be seen, but Gongsun Yang was nowhere in sight.

The seawater violently churned and surged skyward.

The elder in red robes felt the sky darken, and a loud tsunami sound reached his ears. A colossal misty blue water mountain appeared before him, and a powerful sense of oppression assailed him.

Terrified, the elder in red robes activated five glowing red orbs. He chanted a spell, and the five red orbs burst forth with dazzling red light, unleashing rolling flames that transformed into a massive crimson fire cloud, emitting terrifying high temperatures.

The crimson fire cloud met the blue water mountain. Upon collision, the crimson fire cloud instantly disintegrated, and the five shimmering red orbs flew backward.

The elder in red robes then brought forth a red shield, holding it in front of him. Upon closer inspection, the red shield's surface showed multiple tiny cracks.

After a scream, the red shield shattered. The elder in red robes was sent flying backward, slamming heavily into a peak and creating a large crater. A red light barrier enveloped his body, his face turned crimson, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Before the elder in red robes could even stand up, a whooshing sound pierced the air, and a misty blue long spear descended from the sky with overwhelming momentum.

A fierce glint flashed in the elder's eyes. He opened his mouth and spat out nine red, shimmering banners. Multiple tiny cracks were visible on the poles of these nine red banners, marks left from his earlier struggle with Gongsun Yang.

The nine red banners suddenly spun in mid-air, unleashing countless crimson flames. The blaze intensified, and a massive crimson fire dragon flew out from the sea of fire, moving to meet the blue long spear.

The blue long spear collided with the crimson fire dragon. The crimson fire dragon let out a mournful roar as its body split in two. The blue long spear then struck the elder's head, piercing directly through it and pinning him to the peak.

As soon as a miniature lizard emerged from his body, it was enveloped by a blue glow and drawn into a blue jade bottle.

Wang Changsheng put away his Heaven-Shaking Spear and frowned as he gazed at the elder's corpse. He was surprised that the Barren Lands harbored so many Integration Stage lizard-men. He wondered if all the remnants of the Lizard Clan were hiding there, and if Yifeng's descendants were among them.

A red light flashed, and the elder in red robes transformed into a massive red lizard, devoid of life.

Gongsun Yang flew over, landing beside Wang Changsheng.

His face was pale, and he was panting heavily. He remarked, frowning, that they had encountered six Integration Stage lizard-men, concluding that many remnants of the Lizard Clan must be hiding in the Barren Lands.

Wang Changsheng then asked if his Spirit-Seeking Sable could find them.

Gongsun Yang shook his head, explaining that it would be difficult. He mentioned the powerful demonic beasts in the Barren Lands and that their lairs would certainly be protected by formations, making it not only hard to find their strongholds but also to subdue them, especially since one Integration Stage cultivator had already escaped.

Wang Changsheng then inquired if the Ten Thousand Spirit Sect didn't possess a sect-protecting treasure, the Myriad Demon Mirror, which could sense and track the presence of demonic beasts within a certain range.

The Sea Suppressing Palace's Ten Thousand Spirit Plate, one of its palace-protecting treasures, could detect demonic beasts below the eighth tier within a radius of a hundred million li, making it convenient to locate them.

Gongsun Yang explained that the mirror could only locate specific demonic beasts by requiring their essence blood. He gave an example: if one obtained the essence blood of a seventh-tier Fire Dragon, the Myriad Demon Mirror could locate that specific Fire Dragon, but it could not find other dragons. Otherwise, he added, the high-tier demon turtles in the Barren Lands would have been wiped out by their Ten Thousand Spirit Sect long ago.
