Chapter 4480: Chaos Beast Reinforcements Arrive

Outside the azure light portal, Shangguan Yan, Heavenly Demon Child, and Azure Dragon Immortal Venerable were locked in a fierce battle with Ke and Nuo.

The Heavenly Demon Child's body was covered in blood, bearing multiple ghastly gashes. Azure Dragon Immortal Venerable's face was slightly pale, and his body was covered in countless azure scales, some of which had fallen off, bleeding profusely.

Shangguan Yan's delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her golden shield in front of her showed numerous fine cracks.

Ke and Nuo were formidable opponents. Fighting two against three, Shangguan Yan and the other two were no match for them.

Nuo's body had some long, thin cuts, through which bone was faintly visible. Ke, however, was in much better condition, completely unharmed.

The physical bodies of Grand Luo Golden Immortal stage Chaos Beasts were exceptionally powerful. Even high-grade immortal artifacts infused with primordial spiritual treasures could barely scratch them. Shangguan Yan and her companions possessed no ultimate immortal artifacts nor had they mastered supreme laws, making them utterly outmatched.

Azure Dragon Immortal Venerable's brows were tightly furrowed. In a one-on-one fight, he did not fear Nuo, but Ke was the problematic one.

Ke had mastered soul laws, so Azure Dragon Immortal Venerable dared not engage it head-on. He could only use his own laws to counter Ke, but the effect was minimal.

Shangguan Yan and the Heavenly Demon Child were dealing with Nuo. Even working together, they couldn't gain the upper hand and felt greatly strained.

A blur flashed past, startling Shangguan Yan. She quickly formed a hand seal, and her body erupted with golden light, unleashing countless golden runes. The blur struck the golden shield, sending it flying backward to collide with Shangguan Yan.

Shangguan Yan felt an unbearable force assault her, her body flying uncontrollably backward. She spat out a mouthful of vital blood, and her face turned pale.

A gust of wind swept by, and a nine-colored Chaos Beast with a bird's head, human body, and bird wings appeared behind Shangguan Yan. It held a pair of black scissors in its hand.

The nine-colored Chaos Beast swung the black scissors, aiming directly at Shangguan Yan. The scissors opened and closed, severing Shangguan Yan's head. As soon as her Nascent Soul left her body, it was swallowed by the nine-colored Chaos Beast.

"Niao, you've arrived."

Nuo's voice was filled with delight.

The nine-colored Chaos Beast that killed Shangguan Yan was named Niao. It possessed mid-Grand Luo Golden Immortal stage cultivation and had evolved three times.

Flying Chaos Beasts were inherently difficult to deal with. The moment Niao joined the battle, it killed Shangguan Yan.

The Heavenly Demon Child and Azure Dragon Immortal Venerable were greatly startled. Blinding black and azure lights respectively flared around their bodies.

The Heavenly Demon Child transformed into tens of thousands of black mist clumps, scattering in different directions. Azure Dragon Immortal Venerable vanished as a gentle breeze, and the other immortals fled in all directions.

"Niao, stay outside and provide support. If any immortals emerge, kill them without mercy. We'll go inside and see what treasures there are," Ke commanded.

This way, even if an immortal acquired Immortal Lord Qingmei's legacy, it would not be easy for them to leave safely.

Niao agreed and led a group of Chaos Beasts to guard the outside. Ke and Nuo then led another group of Chaos Beasts into the azure light portal.

Inside the dojo, there was a continuous expanse of verdant mountains, and a massive crimson mushroom cloud rose from deep within the range.

Deep within the mountains, in a scorched clearing, lay a giant red bear. It had a finger-thick blood hole in its head and was lifeless.

Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Wang Tunian stood beside the giant bear's corpse. Wang Changsheng held a miniature red bear in his hand.

"We found it," Wang Changsheng said. "The control hub might be in one location, but we'll have to pass through an area with a star-array restriction."

"Star-array restriction? Is it very powerful?" Wang Ruyan asked, puzzled.

"If it were in its prime, we naturally wouldn't need to force our way through," Wang Changsheng mused. "After so many years, the restriction's power shouldn't be too strong. I hope this is where the control hub is! I wonder where Immortal Lord Qingmei went; he created such a vast space, yet there's no sign of him." He then put away the red giant bear's corpse and left the area.

Half an hour later, Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Wang Tunian stood outside a vast, boundless yellow desert. Gusts of wind blew, sending countless yellow sand particles soaring into the sky.

Wang Changsheng brought out an immortal puppet at the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage and had it fly into the yellow desert.

The clear sky suddenly darkened, and numerous points of light became visible high above.

Huge meteorites streaked across the sky, crashing down towards the puppet beast.

The puppet beast opened its mouth and spewed countless slender golden lights, destroying the meteorites. However, more meteorites soon rained down. The immortal puppet again unleashed dense golden light, shattering the falling meteorites, and then retreated to Wang Changsheng's side, and the sky returned to normal.

Wang Ruyan activated her Li Fire True Eyes to investigate, but found no spatial restrictions.

Wang Changsheng put away the immortal puppet. The three then flew forward. As soon as they entered the yellow desert, the sky darkened, and countless stars appeared.

After the stars shone brightly, a large number of meteorites streaked across the sky and crashed down.

Wang Changsheng quickly summoned five Heavenly Star Mirrors. He formed a hand seal, and the five Heavenly Star Mirrors each shot out a golden glow, meeting the meteorites. Upon touching the golden glow, the meteorites' descent slowed.

With the five Heavenly Star Mirrors, the restriction couldn't attack them at all.

Wang Tunian had studied the "Immortal Sutra of Time" for many years but failed to comprehend the law of time. This was within their expectations. With the Heavenly Star Mirrors, treasure hunting, breaking restrictions, and fighting enemies became much more convenient.

After passing through the desert, a red peach blossom forest came into view.

Wang Tunian's eyes glowed with dazzling yellow light, as he gazed forward.

"Beyond the peach blossom forest, there's a high peak," Wang Tunian said. "The restriction is quite strong; I can't investigate what's on the mountain."

Wang Ruyan activated her Li Fire True Eyes to investigate, but found nothing unusual.

They walked towards the peach blossom forest. As they walked, they didn't trigger any restrictions.

After passing through the peach blossom forest, a majestic giant peak appeared before them. An azure stone staircase extended from the foot of the mountain up to halfway, and the area above the mid-mountain was enveloped in a shroud of azure mist.

Wang Ruyan activated her Li Fire True Eyes to investigate and said, "There's an azure stone plaza at the mountain peak, and on the plaza is a palace named Qingmei Hall. Immortal Lord Qingmei's remaining treasures are very likely here."

"So many years have passed," Wang Changsheng analyzed, "and some powerful demon beasts must have appeared in this dojo. If they couldn't take the items here, the restriction's power must certainly be considerable." He then summoned a humanoid puppet beast at the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, and controlled it to walk up the mountain.

The moment it appeared on the azure stone steps, a startling thunderclap rang out, and an incredibly thick nine-colored immortal lightning bolt streaked across the sky, striking towards the humanoid puppet beast.

The humanoid puppet beast spewed out a golden light to meet it.

The golden light collided with the nine-colored immortal lightning, like an egg hitting a rock, instantly dispersing.

The nine-colored immortal lightning struck the humanoid puppet beast, and the nine-colored lightning engulfed it.

Before the lightning dissipated, a second, even thicker nine-colored immortal lightning bolt struck down, heading directly for the immortal puppet.

Wang Changsheng quickly brought out the Heavenly Star Mirrors. He formed a hand seal, and the five Heavenly Star Mirrors each shot out a golden glow to meet the attack.

The nine-colored immortal lightning touched the golden glow, stopping mid-air as if frozen.
