Chapter 3536: Blue Mountain Shows Divine Power

The corpse transformed into a palm-sized, tricolored jade, but its red section shattered, leaving it bicolored.

A thousand miles away, a golden light emerged from the void, revealing True Monarch Qianjin, whose expression was grim. He had cultivated for many years and fought many Mahayana cultivators, but none of his previous adversaries possessed fragmented Xuan Tian treasures or were this difficult to handle.

The moment he appeared, a hazy yellow sound wave swept towards him, tearing the void and unleashing a torrent of yellow sound waves. True Monarch Qianjin formed a hand seal, and countless ten-foot-long golden blades materialized, rising to meet and block the yellow sound waves.

Over twenty Mahayana cultivators were engaged in a chaotic battle, each selecting their own target.

Wang Qingshan's opponent was a short, stout elder in a golden robe, a mid-stage Mahayana cultivator. He had a single golden horn on his head, and five small, glittering golden mirrors floated above him.

The golden-robed elder formed a hand seal, and tens of thousands of enormous crimson fireballs materialized in the void, hurtling towards Wang Qingshan. Wang Qingshan snorted coldly, formed a sword seal, and the surrounding vegetation and earth flew up, transforming into flying swords to meet the onslaught.

The dense flying swords shattered the crimson fireballs and then surged directly towards the golden-robed elder. The golden-robed elder changed his hand seal, causing the five small golden mirrors to glow brightly. Each then unleashed a thick golden pillar of fire, repelling the incoming flying swords.

The golden-robed elder formed another hand seal, and a shimmering golden, two-headed, four-armed giant illusion materialized above his head, radiating a terrifying aura. The giant opened its mouth and spewed out a ball of golden flames. The flames then condensed, transforming into an entirely golden fiery phoenix that radiated astonishing heat. This was an Eighth-tier Spiritual Flame. He had spent tens of thousands of years painstakingly cultivating it; it had helped him slay numerous Mahayana cultivators.

The golden fiery phoenix gently flapped its wings, causing tens of thousands of crimson fireballs to materialize in the void and crash towards Wang Qingshan. Simultaneously, ripples spread above Wang Qingshan's head, and a dazzling golden hand materialized, striking towards him with terrifying heat.

Wang Qingshan formed a sword seal, and nine Azure Glaze Swords flew from his sword scabbard, continuously circling him. Countless thick azure sword lights swept out, shattering the golden hand. The dense golden fireballs swept towards him, but were all shattered by the azure sword lights. With a flash of golden light, a massive golden fiery phoenix suddenly appeared in the void above Wang Qingshan's head and swooped down on him, radiating terrifying heat.

Innumerable crimson runes emerged from Wang Qingshan's body, transforming into nine massive flames that scattered and fled in different directions.

Nine Flames Spirit Split! This secret art proved quite effective for dodging attacks. The Wang family had acquired it after destroying the Essence Fire Tribe.

The golden fiery phoenix collided with a crimson fireball and devoured it. The nine Azure Glaze Swords rapidly rotated, unleashing numerous fierce azure sword energies that shredded the golden fiery phoenix, turning it into a large expanse of golden flames. The golden flames then suddenly condensed, reforming into another golden fiery phoenix. The moment it reformed, the dense azure sword energies swept towards it once more.

"Sword Array!"

The golden-robed elder frowned. Just as he was about to unleash another divine ability, his body suddenly tensed, and two translucent azure chains materialized. The azure chains were crystalline, not physical.

Chains of Divine Sense!

The golden-robed elder snorted lightly. A golden light shot from his glabella, forming a golden short blade dozens of feet long, which struck the azure chains. However, the chains remained unharmed. He was somewhat surprised, as this indicated Wang Qingshan's divine sense was even stronger than his own; otherwise, he would surely have been able to break free.

Over a hundred thousand azure flying swords shot forth, instantly reaching the golden-robed elder. He hastily formed a hand seal, and one head of the humanoid illusion spewed out a golden sound wave, but it was quickly shattered by the azure flying swords. The golden-robed elder's single horn glowed brightly, emitting a hazy golden halo. Azure flying swords that touched the halo immediately floated in the air, but their sheer number overwhelmed and shattered the golden halo.

He quickly brought out a shimmering golden orb, into which he injected a hand seal. The golden orb immediately glowed with brilliant golden light, transforming into a thick golden barrier that enveloped him. The dense azure flying swords continuously struck the golden barrier, producing muffled thudding sounds, but the barrier remained unmoving.

The golden-robed elder intended to unleash other divine abilities. He formed a hand seal, but the void showed no abnormality. He was surprised to find that he was already submerged in a sea of swords; over a hundred thousand azure flying swords floated in the void within a hundred-thousand-mile radius.

"Spirit Domain!"

The golden-robed elder turned pale with fright. He had just fought Sword Venerable Tianhe and experienced the power of a Spirit Domain. If not for his Substitute Treasure, he would have died by Sword Venerable Tianhe's hand. He never expected that Wang Qingshan, a mere early-stage Mahayana cultivator, would comprehend a Spirit Domain, likely just at the introductory level.

Wang Qingshan formed a sword seal, and the dense azure flying swords rushed directly towards the golden-robed elder. The golden-robed elder hastily formed hand seals, controlling his Dharma Idol to cast spells and resist. He could not even mobilize a wisp of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, making him completely outmatched. After all, the golden-robed elder was a mid-stage Mahayana cultivator and possessed a defensive, high-grade All-Heaven Spirit Treasure, which blocked Wang Qingshan's attacks. The endless azure flying swords continuously struck the golden barrier, emitting muffled thudding sounds. The golden-robed elder was utterly powerless to retaliate and could only passively endure the assault. Leng Mei and the others were too preoccupied to assist him.

After a short while, the golden-robed elder's face turned pale, and the golden barrier's spiritual light dimmed. Wang Qingshan changed his sword seal, and over a hundred thousand azure flying swords condensed into a hazy azure Sky-Piercing Giant Sword, which slashed down onto the golden barrier.

"No...!"

The golden barrier shattered under the Sky-Piercing Giant Sword. The golden-robed elder was cleaved in half, and as soon as his miniature nascent soul emerged, it was enveloped by an azure glow and drawn into an azure jade bottle.

The golden fiery phoenix was once again shredded by the dense azure sword energies, turning into a large expanse of golden flames. Wang Qingshan shook his sleeve, and a small, azure-glowing cauldron flew out. It then spewed an azure glow that enveloped the golden flames, drawing them into the cauldron. This Azure Sun Cauldron, a high-grade All-Heaven Spirit Treasure, was given to Wang Qingshan by the Ye family before the expedition. Containing an Eighth-tier Spiritual Flame was no problem for it. When he had time, he would refine this spiritual flame, and his Azure Lotus Karmic Fire should then be able to advance to Eighth-tier, indirectly boosting his strength.

Wang Qingshan beckoned with one hand, and a golden storage bracelet flew towards him, disappearing into his sleeve. After collecting the golden-robed elder's treasures, he looked towards the other Mahayana cultivators, intending to assist them.

A man's mournful scream rang out. True Monarch Qianjin was smashed into a bloody pulp by a dazzling golden Sky-Piercing Giant Rod. The moment his nascent soul left his body, a yellow glow descended from the sky, enveloped it, and disappeared into the mouth of the Mountain-Moving Ape.

A dazzling golden spear shot straight towards Venerable Wu Xie, whose right leg was missing and whose face was pale. Venerable Wu Xie formed a hand seal, and a small, black-glowing mirror immediately spewed out a thick black light that struck the golden spear. The golden spear immediately stopped and floated in mid-air.

Before he could catch his breath, a dazzling golden Sky-Piercing Giant Rod descended from the sky, smashing towards Venerable Wu Xie. Venerable Wu Xie had no time to dodge. The Sky-Piercing Giant Rod unleashed a blinding golden light that covered an area of ten thousand feet, simultaneously generating a powerful gravitational force from the ground. Venerable Wu Xie's body rapidly plummeted towards the ground. Before he even landed, the Sky-Piercing Giant Rod crashed down, shattering his body-protecting spiritual light and turning him into a puddle of flesh. A miniature nascent soul flew from his body, as he had just used his Substitute Treasure. The moment the miniature nascent soul left his body, a yellow glow swept towards it.
