Chapter 3822: Seven Flame Herb in Hand

A continuous range of undulating crimson mountains stretched out, dotted with numerous volcanoes. The air was thick with an overpowering smell of sulfur, and the intense heat warped the very space.

Deep within the mountains stood a steep, massive red peak. At its base, there was a huge cave, which led to an enormous grotto. In the grotto's lower-left corner, more than a dozen multi-colored Ganoderma lucidum plants grew, resembling a cluster of seven-colored flames from a distance.

In the lower-right corner of the grotto, a creature with a bull's head, a human body, bird wings, and tiger claws lay prostrate. Its aura indicated it was equivalent to a late-stage True Immortal cultivator who had opened five orifices.

Countless wisps of blue water vapor surged forth, coalescing into the form of Wang Changsheng.

The moment Wang Changsheng appeared, his right fist glowed with a dazzling blue light as he punched towards the beast.

Innumerable torrents of blue seawater surged out, forming a colossal blue fist that smashed into the beast's body.

With a dull thud, the blue giant fist disintegrated. A law of ice swept forth, rapidly freezing the beast's body. However, a large expanse of five-colored spiritual light quickly emanated from its surface, melting the ice layer.

It gently flapped its fleshy wings, transforming into an afterimage that instantly appeared before Wang Changsheng. A pair of sharp claws shot straight towards him.

With a muffled sound, Wang Changsheng's body was pierced, dissolving into countless blue water vapors. A mass of blue water vapor then emerged a hundred zhang away, reforming into Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng swiftly flew out of the cave. The beast immediately gave chase, moving exceptionally fast.

As soon as Wang Changsheng exited the cave, the beast caught up again, its tiger claws lunging at him. Wang Changsheng moved both fists, meeting the attack.

With dull "thudding" sounds, Wang Changsheng was sent flying backward, a few small streaks of blood appearing on the surface of his fists.

Wang Changsheng was somewhat surprised. He shook his sleeve, and eighteen Sea-Stabilizing Beads flew out. After spinning, a vast expanse of blue seawater surged forth, instantly transforming an area of a hundred thousand li into a boundless ocean with towering waves.

The beast flapped its wings gently, lunging at Wang Changsheng once more.

Wang Changsheng raised his right hand. The seawater churned violently, and a towering, sky-reaching wave emerged, crashing towards the beast.

Before the colossal wave even struck the beast, the space around it warped, deformed, and tore open.

The beast quickly changed direction, attempting to evade the attack. The seawater churned and surged, and a gigantic blue water curtain appeared, enveloping the hundred-thousand-li area, trapping both Wang Changsheng and the beast inside.

In a one-on-one fight, it would indeed be difficult for Wang Changsheng to kill this beast, but it would also not be easy for the beast to kill Wang Changsheng. He only needed to stall for a while, allowing Wang Liao to collect the Seven-Flame Ganoderma.

Its massive body crashed against the blue water curtain, causing it to indent before quickly returning to normal.

The sky-reaching wave struck the beast, eliciting a low roar. Its massive body submerged into the blue water curtain, which again indented.

While Wang Changsheng entangled the beast, Wang Liao seized the opportunity, flew into the cave, carefully dug out all the Seven-Flame Ganoderma, placed them into a jade box, and flew out.

At this moment, Wang Changsheng was still locked in combat with the beast.

"Master, we've secured the Seven-Flame Ganoderma," Wang Liao shouted.

Meanwhile, Wang Changsheng was still engaged in a close-quarters struggle, fists impacting flesh.

Several small bloody marks appeared on his body, though his injuries were not severe. The beast's physical body was simply too abnormal; this was only at the True Immortal stage. If it were a Golden Immortal, its physique would be even more formidable.

As the beast lunged again, Wang Changsheng's body radiated a brilliant white light. A white halo swept out, rapidly freezing the seawater through the law of ice.

When the white halo touched the beast's body, it quickly froze. However, a dazzling burst of five-colored spiritual light shone from its surface, rapidly melting the ice layer.

Wang Changsheng raised his right hand, and a blue-glowing talisman shot out.

With a dull thud, the blue talisman exploded, unleashing countless mysterious blue runes that transformed into nine thick blue iron chains. These chains bound the beast's body, with their other ends sinking into the ground.

The beast struggled fiercely, causing the nine blue chains to shake. Three of the blue chains snapped instantly.

Wang Changsheng formed a hand seal, and the blue water curtain dissipated, vanishing. He, too, transformed into specks of blue water vapor and vanished.

The beast let out an angry roar, and the remaining six blue chains shattered completely.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Liao had already vanished. The beast sniffed a few times, then gently flapped its wings and flew towards the southeast.

A colossal valley, surrounded on three sides by mountains, echoed with a deafening roar.

A massive crimson mushroom cloud soared into the sky, and raging flames swept outwards, instantly obliterating three large mountains. A streak of red light shot out from the sea of fire.

Hundreds of thick green vines erupted from the ground, weaving themselves into a large, shimmering green hand that slapped towards the red light.

Just as the red light was about to evade, a powerful restraining force emerged. The light dispersed, revealing a full-figured young woman in a red dress. From her attire, she was clearly a disciple of Cangyun Palace.

The young woman in red opened her cherry lips, and nine red-glowing flying daggers shot out, striking in all directions. The space shattered, and cracks appeared.

The nine red flying daggers coalesced into a colossal blade wreathed in red flames, slashing towards the green hand. The green hand split in two, and roaring flames engulfed it.

A brilliant green light erupted from the young woman's body, transforming her into a streak of red light that tore through the air, covering tens of thousands of li in an instant, demonstrating the law of speed.

A somewhat sharp roar resounded, sending ripples through the void.

The young woman in red stopped, her face somewhat pale. A powerful wave of drowsiness washed over her, making her feel sleepy.

Five streaks of white light shot forth, successively striking the protective spiritual light around the young woman in red. After a series of dull "thudding" sounds, her protective spiritual light shattered, and the white light pierced her body. Her eyes dimmed, and she fell from mid-air.

As soon as a miniature Nascent Soul left her body, a white jade bottle appeared and collected it.

A tall young man in a white robe and a graceful young woman in a green dress flew over. From their attire, they were clearly disciples of the Murong Family.

The young woman in the green dress held a shimmering green jade Ruyi scepter in her hand, a smile gracing her face.

"The Nightmare Ruler's power is quite good," the young woman in green said with a smile. "It's refined with the spirit of a late-stage Nightmare Beast. This beast possesses the bloodline of the True Spirit Nightmare Beast, and its dream charm sound can make Immortals fall into a deep sleep. Even though this person opened four orifices, she was still affected."

Murong Yunshang, late-stage True Immortal.

"Let's meet up with Fourth Uncle-Grandfather and the others soon," the young man in white said gravely. "That item must be acquired."

Murong Yunshuo, late-stage True Immortal.
