Chapter 3432: Danger

A vast, endless expanse of emerald green mountains lay below as a deafening roar echoed from high in the sky. A massive crimson firelight flared brightly, conspicuously illuminating the heavens.

From it, two streaks of golden light emerged—Luo Xiao and Sang Yu. Both were disheveled and covered in ash, with burn marks on their bodies, looking quite distressed.

A loud roar reached their ears.

Hearing this, Luo Xiao and Sang Yu turned pale with fright, as if they had encountered something truly terrifying.

The void vibrated and distorted as tens of thousands of massive crimson fireballs, each the size of a small mountain, materialized high in the sky, their momentum terrifying.

The tens of thousands of crimson fireballs streaked through the void like meteors, hurtling directly towards Luo Xiao and Sang Yu.

Luo Xiao performed a hand seal, emitting a piercing, ear-splitting sound as a shimmering golden sound wave surged forward to meet the incoming attack.

The crimson fireballs collided with the golden sound wave and, like eggs hitting a stone, disintegrated completely.

Luo Xiao and Sang Yu frantically flapped their wings, racing into the distance.

A thick pillar of crimson flame swept forth, shattering the golden sound wave, and its powerful shockwave tore through the surrounding void.

A red light appeared on the distant horizon. Soon after, it landed on the ground, creating a massive crater. It was a gigantic, entirely red toad with three golden eyes. Its aura clearly indicated it was a peak eighth-tier demonic beast.

"Nowhere to run! Just let me devour you."

The red toad spoke in a human tongue, its tone icy.

It opened its massive maw, and a long red tongue shot out like a crimson whip, striking towards Sang Yu.

Sang Yu's flesh wings gently flapped, and she vanished from her spot. The long tongue struck a mountain peak, turning it into dust and filling the air with debris.

Ahead lay a desolate plain under a gray sky.

Luo Xiao shook his sleeve, and a shimmering golden flying dagger shot out, heading directly towards the desolate plain.

No sooner had the golden flying dagger appeared above the plain than a thick bolt of black lightning struck down from high in the sky, aimed directly at it.

The golden flying dagger's spiritual light intensified, and it accelerated its escape speed, narrowly evading the black lightning. Soon after, a second bolt of black lightning struck.

Not long after, the golden flying dagger was struck by the black lightning, falling from mid-air with its spiritual light dimming.

"Flee in that direction; it's the only way to evade it."

Luo Xiao transmitted his voice.

They had been treasure hunting with their clansmen and found some spiritual herbs aged fifty to sixty thousand years. Suddenly, a peak eighth-tier Three-Eyed Blazing Toad appeared, devouring more than half of their Yaksha clan cultivators. If Sang Yu hadn't possessed a substitute treasure, she would have been killed.

They fled together, with the Three-Eyed Blazing Toad in relentless pursuit. The other Yaksha clan cultivators scattered, fleeing for their lives, their survival dependent on luck.

They gently flapped their wings and vanished from their spots.

The next moment, they reappeared high above the plain. A loud thunderclap echoed from above as two thick bolts of black lightning struck down, heading directly towards them.

Luo Xiao quickly conjured a gleaming golden shield, placing it in front of them. The two bolts of gray lightning struck the golden shield, producing dull thuds.

Soon, two more bolts of black lightning struck from high above. There was clearly a restriction here; unless they left this area, they would be continuously attacked by it.

Both flapped their wings fiercely, flying rapidly deeper into the plain, as the golden shield continuously circled around them.

The Fire-Leaving Toad retracted its long tongue, and countless crimson fireballs emerged from the void, hurtling towards Luo Xiao and Sang Yu. However, their escape speed was too fast; the crimson fireballs failed to hit them and were easily dodged.

Numerous crimson fireballs struck the ground, emitting a series of explosive roars and leaving massive craters. Not long after, Luo Xiao and Sang Yu disappeared from the plain, but the booming thunder continued, evidently indicating they had not yet left.

"Consider yourselves lucky."

The Fire-Leaving Toad spoke in human tongue and then left the area.

In a vast, boundless dense forest, a massive spider puppet beast moved swiftly forward. As it passed, all trees in its path fell, and dust filled the air.

They successfully found the Eight-Treasure Glazed Lotus and eliminated a peak seventh-tier wood demon, obtaining its crystal core, which could be used to set up formations and cultivate rare spiritual herbs and fruits.

Wang Changsheng frowned and said gravely, "There are demonic beasts underground. Quickly get away!"

No sooner had he spoken than Wang Changsheng and the others soared into the sky. However, just as they ascended several hundred feet from the ground, a powerful gravitational force suddenly appeared, pulling their bodies uncontrollably towards the ground.

Wang Ruyan gently pointed her right index finger towards the ground below, and a shimmering blue halo swept out, accompanied by a burst of ethereal music, heading directly towards the ground.

The blue halo expanded as it moved, tearing open the void before it even touched the ground, turning towering trees into wood shavings.

The blue halo struck the ground with a deafening roar, cracking open the earth for a hundred miles around and filling the air with dust.

The gravitational pull lessened considerably, allowing Wang Changsheng and the others to promptly fly upwards.

Four streaks of yellow light unexpectedly flew out from the dust, heading directly towards them.

"It's two eighth-tier Six-Eyed Sand Spiders, Master!"

Wang Tun Tian's expression was tense.

Wang Changsheng struck his right hand towards the void, and a shimmering blue colossal palm flashed forth, crushing the four streaks of yellow light. It then struck the ground with a thunderous roar, leaving a massive palm print and filling the air with dust.

Two enormous mounds swelled from the ground a hundred miles away, and two massive Six-Eyed Sand Spiders burrowed out from underground; one was a mid-tier eighth-tier beast, and the other was a low-tier eighth-tier beast.

"Qingfeng, Yidao, you two leave here first. We'll cover your retreat and rejoin you later."

Wang Changsheng transmitted a message to Wang Qingfeng and Wang Yidao, his tone grave.

If they engaged the eighth-tier demonic beasts, they wouldn't be able to protect Wang Qingfeng and the others, so it would be best for them to flee as far away as possible.

Wang Qingfeng acknowledged, then conjured a shimmering red flying boat, carrying the cultivators away towards the northeast. Wang Tun Tian, Wang Lin, and Wang Meng Li, meanwhile, flew back into Wang Changsheng's spirit beast bracelet and disappeared.

One Six-Eyed Sand Spider burrowed underground, apparently intending to intercept Wang Qingfeng and the others.

Wang Changsheng pointed his finger at the void. A whooshing sound echoed as a dazzling blue light shot out, heading directly towards the ground.

With a thunderous roar, the ground cracked open, and the Six-Eyed Sand Spider burrowed out.

Wang Ruyan held a blue pipa in both hands, and as her fingers swept across its strings, a shimmering blue sound wave surged out with great speed, heading directly towards the two Six-Eyed Sand Spiders.

At the same time, Wang Changsheng moved both arms, striking towards the void. His fist winds like thunder as colossal blue fists flashed forth, striking the two Six-Eyed Sand Spiders.

The Six-Eyed Sand Spiders possessed petrification abilities, so they refrained from using physical attacks with treasures against them, instead attacking with spiritual arts and divine abilities.

The two Six-Eyed Sand Spiders each let out a piercing shriek, and the ground for ten thousand miles around transformed from earth to sand, filling the air with dust.

Countless yellow sand grains flew up with the wind, transforming into yellow sand blades that rushed forward to meet the attack.

With a thunderous roar, yellow and blue lights flared high in the sky, and shockwaves surged like tides.
