Chapter 1301: All Big Pits

The steady and gentle Jie Wuliang, both with faint smiles, glanced across. It had come to this, and Cao De was still clinging to a sliver of hope?

Chu Xu, the successor of the Silent Ridge, had smooth, shimmering blue hair, ethereal and otherworldly, making him more beautiful than many women. An unusual expression lingered in his eyes and brows.

The pair from Starfeather Heaven were even more direct. The man scorned Chu Feng, while the woman was coldly stunning and beautiful, yet her face was now full of disdain when she looked at Chu Feng.

It had come to this point; in their eyes, everything was already decided. The First Mountain had been utterly decimated, completely leveled by the joint forces of several major forbidden lands!

Yi Yu, the stunning beauty from the Chaos Abyss, found her expression growing increasingly complex. She wondered how the elder in her clan, a favored daughter of heaven from the prehistoric era, would react upon learning of Li's sect's destruction.

"There is no First Mountain left in this world!" someone chuckled.

The beings from the forbidden lands exchanged smiles, almost ready to raise their cups and drink together. The overall situation was settled; there was nothing to worry about.

At this moment, Jie Ming of the Four-Calamity Sparrow Clan had already departed, transforming into a fierce bird of prey. Spreading its wings across the sky, it plunged into a spatial tunnel, rushing towards the First Mountain.

The other forbidden lands also took similar actions, each dispatching their respective retainers to the First Mountain.

In the sky, at the remaining fringes of Starfeather Heaven, heart-wrenching wails shook the heavens. An old retainer, trembling, was trying to contact the clan's disciples who were outside.

His lips were trembling; he estimated that few clan members were left!

On the three-way battlefield, the young man and woman from Starfeather Heaven, each carrying a conch with snowy-white dao patterns, emitted a crystalline glow and an echoing sound.

This was their clan members trying to contact them, and both immediately brought the conches to their ears to listen.

A rustling sound came through, accompanied by a lot of noise, making it impossible to hear clearly. Both frowned. These three battlefields, once forbidden lands now reduced to ruins by the First Mountain, had complex terrain containing too much magnetic marrow and other elements. The chaotic field interfered with the signal source, making clear reception impossible.

"Is that Uncle Cheng? We can't hear clearly. What's wrong?" they asked. "Did we get some incredible scriptures after decimating the First Mountain?"

Amidst the broken walls and rubble at the edge of Starfeather Heaven, that old retainer was practically going insane. At such a critical moment, he couldn't even get his message through clearly, which truly made him collapse.

The main reason was also the extreme distance. Their forbidden land was beyond the heavens, and the journey was too long; ordinary evolutionaries couldn't reach it from the ground even after flying for dozens or hundreds of lifetimes.

The same thing happened at Silent Ridge. A middle-aged man, with disheveled hair, looked at the forbidden land before him. All the mountain ridges had vanished, with only remnants at the edges. He let out a beast-like howl, and his wails shook the heavens.

Next, he tried to contact his clan members outside.

At this moment, Chu Xu, the descendant of Silent Ridge on the three-way battlefield, was still smiling. Suddenly, a blood-patterned coral pendant he wore lit up, emitting a noisy sound.

"Uncle Wu, is that you? What's wrong?!"

The middle-aged man at Silent Ridge was so anxious his eyes were red. He wished he could snap the Dao-patterned blood-coral communicator in his hand, feeling restless and agitated.

"Uncle Wu, don't tell me you want me to go to the First Mountain to share the spoils of war," Chu Xu said. "Don't worry, I'm not far from there; I'll be there in a moment."

On the battlefield, Chu Xu's smooth and crystalline blue hair glinted as he wore a brilliant smile, his mood exceptionally cheerful.

"You little...!" At Silent Ridge, the middle-aged man, furious, kicked a star remnant, causing it to explode and the mountains and rivers to rumble as he roared repeatedly.

Finally, on the three-way battlefield, Chu Xu, the successor of Silent Ridge, heard a bit more clearly. There seemed to be roaring, very much like his Uncle Wu when he got agitated.

"Haha, Uncle Wu, you're so excited!" he exclaimed. "It seems we got something incredible after decimating the First Mountain. Could it be that we unearthed the ultimate artifact, or did we uncover the biggest unresolved case in the history of the First Mountain?!"

At the edge of Silent Ridge, the middle-aged man, enraged, threw the Dao-patterned blood-coral communicator away. He became instantly furious, then raged even more.

Finally, he cursed: "Go to hell! I'm not dealing with you anymore!"

Jie Ming, the driver for the Four-Calamity Sparrow Clan, the retainer from Chaos Abyss, Silent Ridge's trusted aide, and others used field-based teleportation, rushing along spatial tunnels to arrive near the First Mountain as quickly as possible.

Of course, they burst out of the spatial tunnels when they were still several thousand li away, daring not to directly teleport to the destination. They sped the rest of the way.

Then, they were shocked. The First Mountain was still there, exactly as it had been before.

Most crucially, the mountain-protecting light screen was now transparent. They saw Number Nine, holding a broom flowing with Dao patterns, sweeping the battlefield.

In an instant, they were petrified. What was happening? Number Nine, the cannibal, was still here?!

Where were the powerhouses of the various clans?!

Moreover, it wasn't just one Number Nine. They also saw several emaciated beings, all with the same aura as Number Nine, like demon lords, strolling around.

At this moment, Jie Ming and the others became frantic, then felt terrified to death. This was a monumental event; their own ancestors had come... and failed?!

It wasn't just them. Many strong individuals, far surpassing Jie Ming and his group, arrived around them, rushing to the scene immediately to investigate the situation. Then everyone was dumbfounded.

Everyone was shocked. The First Mountain was unharmed, not even a single blade of grass was missing!

Did this mean that the ancestors of the various clans were in grave danger? Jie Ming and the others were on the verge of collapse. When they thought about their young masters still looking down on Cao De on the battlefield, they truly wished they had more legs to immediately rush back.

Number Nine and the others paid no attention to Jie Ming's small group; such minor characters were completely ignored because too many powerhouses had arrived outside the mountain, all observing intently.

"Ah, did we seal the mountain too early?" Number Nine sighed. "I see many long legs outside. Groups like Meituan, Tiantuan, and Datuans are all there in droves."

However, Number Seven reminded him that the mountain must be sealed. They needed to reorganize the land because the field here was severely damaged, and if anyone attacked again, there would be significant problems.

They absolutely could not activate the remnants of sword light left in that fractured world again. Otherwise, once completely exhausted, heaven and earth would overturn, leading to a catastrophe far more terrifying than the end of an epoch or the descent of a great tribulation!

The First Mountain's protective light screen became thick again, no longer transparent. Number Nine and the others were applying seals, causing various Dao patterns to emerge and deafening roars to resonate.

"Run!" cried Jie Ming. "Go report to the young master! Hurry, leave Xia Prefecture! Never step foot near the First Mountain again in this lifetime! The clan's period of decline has arrived!"

Jie Ming and the others were all frantic. Still somewhat loyal, they all ran like mad, rushing back.

In fact, even if they were disloyal, it wouldn't matter. They were descendants of forbidden lands themselves, and even if their bloodline was slightly diluted, it didn't change the fact that their fates were intertwined; if one was humiliated, all were humiliated; if one prospered, all prospered.

Jie Ming, being a Four-Calamity Sparrow, had four layers of light barriers around his body. His wings felt like they would break from flying. Finally, he found a field-based teleportation altar, and with feathers flying off, he dashed onto it.

The retainers from the other forbidden lands behind him also rushed over, burning their blood. Together, they activated the field, rushing like mad towards the three-way battlefield.

On the battlefield, Jie Wuliang of the Four-Calamity Sparrow Clan had a gentle smile. He was trying to recruit Chu Feng, saying he wouldn't kill him if Chu Feng agreed to follow him.

However, after being rejected by Chu Feng, his expression turned cold. His demeanor was completely different from before, no longer gentle, but revealing murderous intent.

The disciples from Silent Ridge, Starfeather Heaven, and others were even more disdainful of Chu Feng, like a cat playing with a mouse, waiting to see him made a fool of. If nothing unexpected happened, the news would be back soon.

In fact, at this moment, Chu Feng was also ready. He had clearly surveyed the hidden terrain and other elements. The Heaven Escape Talismans, field arrangements, and other preparations were all in place, ready to fight his way out.

In the distance, a spatial tunnel burst open, and Jie Ming and a few others rushed out.

"Heh, you're back. How was it?" Chu Xu chuckled. "Was the First Mountain completely decimated? Tell everyone here the details."

"Speak!" Jie Wuliang also nodded coldly.

In the distance, Jie Ming and the others' minds exploded. At this moment, they were practically going insane. How could they possibly speak? If they truly told the truth, someone would probably force them to stay!

Even though they were trying their best to hide it, the intense emotional fluctuations still showed through.

However, no one thought much of it. Everyone assumed the First Mountain had been destroyed, and that Jie Ming and the others had personally witnessed the glorious achievements there and met their respective ancestors. They were now inexplicably excited, rushing back to deliver the news.

"Haha..." Seeing this scene, the people of the Nine-Headed Bird Clan burst into laughter.

Led by Scarlet Void Heavenly Venerate, Scarlet Peak, the Nine-Headed Bird God King, and others followed behind him. They walked forward together, bowing to Jie Wuliang.

"Congratulations, Young Master!" they all congratulated him.

"Damn it, what are you congratulating?!" Jie Ming was truly going insane.

"Haha..." Chu Xu, the disciple of Silent Ridge, was the first to burst into laughter.

Jie Ming and the others wanted to immediately report in secret. But at this moment, some forbidden lands finally managed to contact their own disciples.

At Silent Ridge, the middle-aged man found a huge Dao-patterned blood-coral communicator platform amidst the ruins at the edge. Its power was many times greater, with strong connection capabilities.

"Chu Xu, do you want to die?" a clear roar came through. "Can you hear my voice? Look at what's happening now! Get back here immediately! Run!"

At this moment, Chu Xu's blood-colored pendant glowed, emitting a clear roar, and a visual projection appeared before him.

Then the scene fell silent. Everyone heard it, everyone saw the projection screen, and all were stunned.

Was that Silent Ridge?! Wasn't that a place of majestic mountains? But now, a massive black hole had replaced the vast land of its central region. What had it become?!

Everyone was shocked. Silent Ridge, a forbidden land of the Yang realm, had been breached!

The scene was dead silent. Only that creature from the forbidden zone continued to roar, reprimanding Chu Xu, asking if he had heard, telling him to get back immediately and flee for his life. The so-called glory of Silent Ridge no longer existed!

No one spoke. Everyone was listening and watching that horrifying projection.

Until Chu Feng broke the silence. He walked a few steps forward and said, "Your family has a big pit."

Chu Xu was about to explode with rage; he was already in a daze, completely disoriented. Hearing Cao De's words at this moment, he almost exploded on the spot, his face turning pale as he became furious to the point of madness.

"Is there really a big pit at home?" the strange dragon mumbled.

While everyone was shocked, they were also speechless. Cao De's words had become a prophecy. This was just too... eerie.

What kind of rotten mouth, what a jinx! Some creatures from the forbidden lands were unwilling to accept it, but then an boundless chill enveloped their bodies. This outcome was too terrifying.

"Young Master, run!" an old retainer from Starfeather Heaven cried. "A single sword pierced the heavens, severing eternity! That legendary person's wisp of sword energy poured down and pierced through our ancestral court!"

At this moment, the old retainer of Starfeather Heaven was also wailing and shouting. He finally connected to the special Dao-conches on the young man and woman, roaring through it and also transmitting a visual.

Then people saw that Starfeather Heaven, usually a place where star rivers flowed and light shone brightly, was now completely dim, pitch black. A huge hole had appeared there, utterly silent and dead.

"Ah?!" "No!"

The young man and woman from Starfeather Heaven also cried out, their eyes bloodshot and their hearts collapsing. Was their family finished? Their once supreme forbidden land had its ancestral court pierced through!

"Your family also has a big pit!"

Chu Feng, with his hands clasped behind his back, walked a few steps forward and said this.

*Pfft! Pfft!*

The young man and woman both coughed up large mouthfuls of blood. Their minds shattered, they were on the verge of madness. This was an unbearable outcome, and coupled with Chu Feng's mockery and provocation, their vision blurred, they stumbled, and their bodies swayed continuously.

Then, Chu Feng took another step, walking near Yi Yu, the stunning beauty from Chaos Abyss, and said, "Your family... was originally a big pit!"

Everyone remained speechless.

"You...!" Yi Yu was utterly devastated, hot tears streaming down her face. She didn't know what had happened to her family, but given the tragic state of Starfeather Heaven and Silent Ridge, she guessed her own clan wouldn't be any better off.

A group of beings from the forbidden lands trembled, their minds on the verge of exploding, their entire bodies convulsing. Everyone felt their world collapsing, their hearts filled with gloom. This was an unbearable upheaval.

Adding to that, there was the despicable, hateful, and loathsome fiend—Cao De—next to them, reminding them one by one that their family had a big pit. Who could endure that?!

"They're all big pits!" Chu Feng sighed with emotion.

Upon hearing this, the group all collapsed.
