Chapter 4076: Again Encountering the Seven-Colored Chaos Beast

"The True Man of Escape! Humph, what's he doing hiding in the shadows? Trying to ambush us?"

Wang Changsheng's expression turned cold.

The old man in yellow robes gave an awkward smile and quickly explained, "Fellow Daoist, don't misunderstand. I wasn't hiding in the dark, but avoiding chaos beasts. I'm not like you, able to easily kill mutated six-colored chaos beasts."

"No wonder you haven't shown your face for millions of years; so you came to the Nine-Star Immortal Realm. We have no prior connection, and your explanation is hard for us to believe."

Ximen Yong's face was filled with killing intent.

The old man in yellow robes' lips moved slightly, as if transmitting a message to Ximen Yong.

Ximen Yong's expression softened, and his lips also moved slightly.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan said nothing, letting them converse through spiritual messages.

After a while, Ximen Zhi spoke, "Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Wang, we have matters to attend to and cannot accompany you further."

"Alright, then we'll be on our way. Farewell for now."

Wang Changsheng summoned the Azure Nether Boat, and he and Wang Ruyan flew onto it.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Wang, may we meet again if fate allows."

Ximen Yong shouted loudly.

"May we meet again."

Wang Changsheng performed a hand seal, and the Azure Nether Boat glowed with dazzling blue light before vanishing from its spot.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, I hope what you say is true. If you deceive us, you know the consequences."

Ximen Zhi said coldly.

The old man in yellow robes flipped his right hand, and a page shimmering with white light appeared in his hand. He said, "Taking you there is no problem, but you must sign an oath on the Snow Orchid Forbidden Book, vowing not to harm me. Otherwise, if you kill me, I won't lead the way."

The Snow Orchid Forbidden Book was a treasure left by Immortal Snow Orchid. Once an oath was sworn upon it, it could not be broken, or severe backlash would occur. Immortal Snow Orchid was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivator from the Heavenly Orchid Immortal Realm, who died during the Immortal Tribulation.

Ximen Zhi inspected the page, and after confirming there were no issues, he signed the oath. Ximen Yong and Ximen De followed suit.

"Alright, you can lead the way now!"

Ximen Zhi urged.

"Of course. There's a mutated six-colored chaos beast guarding that ancient cultivator's cave dwelling. Fellow Daoist Ximen should be able to deal with it, right?"

The old man in yellow robes showed a look of anticipation.

"Enough talk, just lead the way. Why would we sign an oath if we weren't confident?"

Ximen Yong glared at the old man in yellow robes and said in an annoyed tone.

The old man in yellow robes gave an awkward smile and said, "That's good then. Southwest direction."

Ximen Zhi performed a hand seal, and the yellow dragon boat immediately glowed brightly with yellow light, flying towards the southwest.

Before long, the yellow dragon boat disappeared into the horizon.

Half a year later, in a boundless yellow desert, a shimmering azure flying boat hovered high in the sky. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan stood on its deck. Over a dozen beetle-like chaos beasts were attacking them, and the ground was littered with the corpses of many more, also resembling beetles.

All of the dozen-plus chaos beasts were at the Golden Immortal stage, including two six-colored chaos beasts, none of which were mutated.

Wang Ruyan sat cross-legged on the deck, her Golden Lotus Zither placed before her. Her fingers swept across the strings, and as cheerful zither music rang out, waves of blue sound surged forth, heading directly towards the dozen-plus chaos beasts.

As the blue sound waves passed through the bodies of the five-colored chaos beasts, their forms trembled slightly before they fell from mid-air, their lives extinguished.

Soul Law!

The two six-colored chaos beasts realized the danger and flew off into the distance, each in a different direction.

Wang Changsheng performed a hand seal, and countless blue water droplets emerged in the void.

"Go!"

Wang Changsheng punched out, shouting loudly.

The blue water droplets instantly glowed with brilliant blue light, transforming into blue fist shadows.

The dense blue fist shadows flew towards the two six-colored chaos beasts. Struck by the fist shadows, the beasts trembled slightly, then plummeted from high altitude, their souls disintegrating.

Wang Changsheng collected the chaos beast corpses, performed a hand seal, and the Azure Nether Boat flew forward.

The Soul Severing Desert truly lived up to its name as one of the Nine-Star Immortal Realm's seven most dangerous places. Besides chaos beasts, there were also natural restrictions. This area was once an ancient battlefield, and many restrictions remained. Once a restriction was triggered, it would lead to considerable trouble.

"Husband, there's a restriction ahead; we need to avoid it."

Wang Ruyan said with a frown, a red eye visible between her brows—the Blazing Fire True Eye.

"Then let's avoid it!"

Wang Changsheng performed a hand seal, and the Azure Nether Boat flew in another direction, not at full speed.

Seven days later, the Azure Nether Boat appeared over a vast, boundless yellow desert. Wang Tunian, Wang Huanyu, and others stood on the deck, while Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan sat by a tea table. Several giant cacti were visible, their surfaces covered in sharp thorns.

Wang Changsheng held a piece of green beast hide in his hand. This was a map they had found in Huo Yaozi's storage bracelet. The map only marked the location of the Soul Severing Desert; that was all. They didn't know their current position, and leaving the Soul Severing Desert would not be easy.

A deafening roar came from a distance. Wang Tunian's eyes glowed with dazzling yellow light as he looked into the distance.

"Southeast direction, a seven-colored chaos beast is chasing an immortal. This person is a top-tier True Spirit. I haven't seen the seven-colored chaos beast use any laws, so it should be an ordinary one."

Wang Tunian said.

"Let's go kill it."

Wang Changsheng said.

An ordinary seven-colored chaos beast was no match for him; in his eyes, it was merely material for refining mid-grade Immortal Slaying Arrows.

The Azure Nether Boat immediately glowed with a blinding azure light and flew towards the southeast.

The Azure Nether Boat was fast, and it stopped before long.

"Fellow Daoist, help me!"

A heavily wounded young man in a golden robe shouted loudly, his right arm gone.

No sooner had he spoken than a dark shadow swept over his head. The young man in the golden robe shrieked, then a bloody hole appeared in his head, and he collapsed. A miniature nascent soul flew out of his body, only to be swallowed by a gaping maw.

"A flying seven-colored chaos beast!"

Wang Changsheng frowned. This seven-colored chaos beast resembled a bat. It was well known that flying chaos beasts were difficult to deal with due to their quick reactions.

The seven-colored chaos beast also noticed Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, and with a gentle flap of its wings, it lunged towards them.

Having learned from previous experiences, Wang Changsheng wasted no time. He performed a hand seal, and his body rapidly grew, transforming into a hundred-zhang-tall blue giant, exuding an aura that looked down upon all directions.

The sky suddenly darkened, and strong winds arose.

Wang Changsheng swung his right palm, striking the seven-colored chaos beast.

With a dull thud, the seven-colored chaos beast was sent flying backward, leaving several long bloody gashes on Wang Changsheng's hand.

While using the Dao art "As You Wish" had greatly enhanced Wang Changsheng's strength, his physical resilience had not improved. The seven-colored chaos beast could still injure him. If he could cultivate to become a peak True Spirit, things would be much better.

The seven-colored chaos beast was largely unharmed. It flapped its wings lightly and lunged again.

Wang Changsheng let out a cold snort, raised his right hand, and three Sea-Calming Orbs flew from his grasp towards the seven-colored chaos beast.

The three Sea-Calming Orbs rapidly expanded mid-flight, smashing towards the seven-colored chaos beast.
