Chapter 3825: Spouses Reunited (None Today)

A deafening roar echoed from deep within a stretch of rolling green mountains. A massive ball of azure lightning shot into the sky, sending surging air currents in its wake.

A five-colored chaos beast, with a rat's head, a bird's body, and bat wings, flew out from the azure lightning, moving with exceptional speed.

The ground shook violently, and within a radius of one hundred thousand li, the earth turned to sand. A fierce wind swept through, sending a vast expanse of yellow sand flying into the sky, where it condensed into a giant yellow fist that smashed towards the five-colored chaos beast.

The five-colored chaos beast showed no fear; its massive body collided with the giant yellow fist.

With a loud bang, the giant yellow fist shattered, and smoke and dust billowed. A giant axe, shimmering with yellow light, flew out from within and struck the five-colored chaos beast.

With a dull clang, a small cut appeared on the five-colored chaos beast's body, but it was not seriously harmed.

Five flying boats, shimmering with spirit light, flew over. Each boat was equipped with three low-grade Immortal Exterminating Cannons. Five disciples from Hundred Refinements Island—four men and one woman—each stood on one of these boats, with Feng Chuchu among them.

They each held a spirit-light-shimmering formation disk and cast a spell. The fifteen low-grade Immortal Exterminating Cannons simultaneously fired thick beams of light directly towards the five-colored chaos beast.

Just as the five-colored chaos beast was about to dodge, a powerful restraining force emerged out of thin air. Dazzling five-colored spirit light surged from its body, and the restraining force vanished.

The five-colored chaos beast flapped its wings fiercely and rapidly ascended. However, it was still struck on its right wing by multiple beams of light, causing blood to pour out immediately and leaving a terrifying blood hole.

Nine thick yellow rays of light flew out from underground, enveloping the five-colored chaos beast.

Dazzling five-colored spirit light once again illuminated the five-colored chaos beast's body, and the yellow rays shattered as if made of paper.

At this moment, fifteen thick beams of light shot over, striking the five-colored chaos beast one after another.

The five-colored chaos beast's body was covered in blood, with multiple terrifying blood holes. Its massive body crashed heavily onto the ground, creating a huge crater. It hadn't died yet but was severely wounded, had lost its combat ability, and needed only a final blow.

Qin Lei burst out from the earth, holding a giant axe shimmering with yellow light, and struck towards the five-colored chaos beast's head.

With a dull thud, he chopped off the five-colored chaos beast's head, completely slaying it.

Feng Chuchu and the other four cast a spell, and the five flying boats successively landed on the ground.

"With fifteen low-grade Immortal Exterminating Cannons," Feng Chuchu said with a smile, "perhaps only the Murong family's Immortal Armor Army could withstand us." Even a late-stage True Immortal five-colored chaos beast could not withstand the attack of more than ten low-grade Immortal Exterminating Cannons. Integrating Immortal Exterminating Cannons into flying immortal artifacts is not unique to Hundred Refinements Island; all major forces do this, the difference merely being in the size of the force and the number of cannons.

"Business is paramount," Qin Lei said in a deep voice. "We must mine a batch of Nine-Blaze Divine Crystals to forge more mid-grade Immortal Exterminating Cannons." The Cloud Swirl Grotto-Heaven has a small Nine-Blaze Divine Crystal ore vein that Hundred Refinements Island disciples have mined multiple times, enabling them to forge many mid-grade Immortal Exterminating Cannons.

Qin Lei collected the chaos beast's corpse and walked to the azure flying boat where Feng Chuchu was. Feng Chuchu and the other four cast a spell, and the five flying boats rose into the air, flying towards the sky and disappearing into the horizon.

A vast yellow desert stretched out, with sand filling the sky and strong winds blowing in gusts.

An azure light appeared deep within the desert, rapidly flying towards the periphery.

After a while, the azure light stopped, revealing an azure-light-shimmering flying boat. On it was a large red cannon, and Wang Changsheng, Wang Tunian, Wang Chan, Wang Yang, and others stood on it, their expressions tense.

Tens of thousands of mantises flew from a distance; most were colorless, many were three-colored or four-colored, and one mantis was five-colored.

Insect-form chaos beasts!

Chaos beasts come in beast form, humanoid-beast form, avian form, and insect form. Insect-form chaos beasts are gregarious, numbering in the tens of thousands.

Wang Tunian cast a spell and injected a magical incantation. The large red cannon emitted a dazzling red light, and a thick red beam shot out, plunging into the swarm of insects. Hundreds of colorless mantises and dozens of one-colored mantises were instantly annihilated, and over ten two-colored mantises were severely wounded.

Wang Changsheng took a deep breath and slapped his right hand towards the void, summoning countless blue seawater that churned and surged.

Before long, the blue seawater rushed directly towards the opposing side with astonishing momentum.

With a thunderous roar, the blue seawater plunged into the insect swarm, and a significant portion of the mantises were instantly annihilated.

At this moment, Wang Changsheng was already beneath the desert, enveloped in a ball of yellow light, moving forward rapidly.

Two days later, Wang Changsheng and his group returned to the surface, appearing in a narrow, elongated small valley where not a blade of grass grew.

Wang Tunian's eyes glowed with dazzling yellow light as he looked around.

After a while, Wang Tunian frowned and said, "Master, we've encountered Daoist Lu from the Nine Immortal Sect. They are slaying a five-colored chaos beast a million li away. Should we join them?"

Wang Changsheng had placed the sub-talisman of the Seven-Star Mother-Child Talisman inside the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron, hoping to sever contact with it this way. He had entered the Cloud Swirl Grotto-Heaven to gather cultivation resources for himself and his family, not for the Nine Immortal Sect.

If he acted with the Nine Immortal Sect disciples, no matter what good things they obtained, the Nine Immortal Sect disciples would take the lion's share, and Wang Changsheng wouldn't get much.

"It seems I really can sever the connection," Wang Changsheng thought with delight.

"No need," Wang Changsheng instructed. "Let's avoid them and hide." He conjured a yellow-light-shimmering banner, and with a gentle wave, a large expanse of yellow mist surged out, engulfing their figures.

After a while, the yellow mist dispersed, and Wang Changsheng and his group were gone.

In a vast black bamboo forest, Lu Chuan, Shen Qing, and six other individuals stood in an open area. Not far away lay a massive five-colored chaos beast, its head bearing a terrifying blood hole. "Heh heh," Gao Bin chuckled, "with our chaos armor, and with Senior Brother Lu and Senior Sister Shen, a five-colored chaos beast is nothing much."

"Don't be careless," Lu Chuan said. "This was merely a late-stage True Immortal five-colored chaos beast. If it were a Great Perfection True Immortal five-colored chaos beast or a mutated one, it wouldn't be so easy to slay."

"It's difficult for True Immortal-stage chaos beasts to mutate," Gao Bin said dismissively. "The Cloud Swirl Grotto-Heaven definitely has Great Perfection True Immortal five-colored chaos beasts."

"That may be so," Shen Qing said seriously, "but it's always better to be safe than sorry. When the Cloud Swirl Grotto-Heaven first opened, a mutated five-colored chaos beast appeared, and even three Great Perfection True Immortals couldn't defeat it when working together. Alright, let's not dwell on this. Let's quickly reach our destination, get what we came for, and complete the task assigned by Master-Uncle Jin."

Lu Chuan collected the chaos beast's corpse, then conjured a yellow-light-shimmering flying boat equipped with three low-grade Immortal Exterminating Cannons. They boarded it.

Lu Chuan cast a spell, and the yellow flying boat transformed into a streak of light, tearing through the air and disappearing into the horizon.

One day later, Wang Changsheng and his group reappeared.

Wang Tunian's eyes burst forth with dazzling yellow light as he looked into the distance.

"Oh, Mistress," Wang Tunian said, "To the northeast, over a million li from here."

"Let's go and rendezvous with Madam," Wang Changsheng said with delight, activating his earth-escape technique and heading towards the northeast.
