The moment the blank Talisman before Xiao Shan Lord was fully formed, Master Kaiyun, far in the distance beneath the blue sky, was the first to act. With but a flicker of his form, he vanished.
CLANG!
When he reappeared, Master Kaiyun slammed his fist directly into the illusory wall of the golden hall.
His speed was unbelievable; Wan Zhi Daoist, He Feng Taoist, Rongyang Monarch, and Min You had no time to stop him. Moreover, as his fist smashed toward the golden hall, a dense Metal Spirit Aura erupted from the Spirit Veins within his body, tearing the surrounding space into several fragments.
His Spiritual Body remained completely intact within the torn space. It even passed through the flickering spatial fragments to enter the golden hall!
SWOOSH!
Just as Master Kaiyun appeared inside the golden hall, a purple longsword streaked out from in front of Xiao Shan Lord. It pressed against Master Kaiyun’s chest, emitting a crisp metallic clang.
Master Kaiyun’s body was like an indestructible Magical Artifact. As he met the blade, he tried to exploit the principle of ’metal overcoming wood’ by releasing the Metal Spirit True Essence from his Qi Sea. However, the power of the great purple sword against his chest suddenly surged dozens of times. Before Master Kaiyun’s solemn gaze, the blade of the purple longsword instantly grew several hundred times larger.
It was the Giant Object Technique, usable only by those with the bloodline of the Demon Race!
Even with his full strength, Master Kaiyun couldn’t block the force of this attack. He didn’t even have an opening to dodge sideways. In the blink of an eye, he was blasted out of the golden hall, carried by the massive sword blade into the clouds, seeming to pierce through the very heavens.
As it neared outer space, the giant purple longsword returned to its original size, transforming into a streak of light and flying back to Xiao Shan Lord. By now, however, Master Kaiyun could no longer give chase, because someone was blocking his path.
It was Rongyang Monarch.
"Fellow Daoist Kaiyun, long time no see. Don’t blame me for bullying you!" Rongyang Monarch formed a hand seal with his left hand, controlling the fiery red longsword at his side. The ’bullying’ he mentioned likely referred to the principle of ’fire overcoming metal.’
As his words faded, a thousand feet to his left, a curtain of light shot straight toward outer space.
It was the Life and Death Light Curtain created by Wan Zhi Daoist. It flashed between heaven and earth before transforming into a series of Earth Vein Arrays that bloomed like flowers. They formed a ribbon of color that stretched across the sky. This ’ribbon’ was attempting to capture a figure: Cang Ji of the Taiyin Sect.
But just as it was about to capture Cang Ji, strange and ugly vegetation sprouted out of thin air on the surface of the splendid ’ribbon,’ completely devouring the Life and Death Light Curtain it had formed.
It was the South Sea Taoist who had intervened. While casting his spell, he could no longer maintain his former image as a lofty Taoist master. His arms grew so long they hung down to his ankles, which made his spellcasting look ridiculous. He also had three faces on one head, with hair like steel needles covering the cheeks of each, giving him a savage and terrifying appearance.
The mouth of one of his faces was now spitting out a green mist. When this mist came into contact with the Life and Death Light Curtain cast by Wan Zhi Daoist, it quickly and cleanly neutralized the Earth Vein Spiritual Qi within it.
FWOOSH!
Just then, a flame fell from the horizon. It seemed gentle at first, but in an instant, it formed countless fiery threads that wove into a great net, falling toward the South Sea Taoist.
It was He Feng Taoist!
He transformed himself into a sea of fire, summoning the ’Sunflower’ from within his body and causing a scorching heat to bake the earth.
Facing the oncoming flames and intense heat, the South Sea Taoist rotated his head, aiming one of his patterned faces at the fiery sky. From beneath his loose Daoist robes, two more slender arms extended to form a Spell.
Instantly, the patterned face’s mouth spat a beam of dark green light, forming a defensive barrier of countless vines before him. The surface of these vines was coated in a layer of gray liquid that seemed as if it shouldn’t exist in this world.
The sun-like flames and intense heat were melting even the ground, yet they could not melt these vines!
"Be careful! That’s a potent poison he stole from beyond our realm!"
Wan Zhi Daoist’s voice called out from the side.
He Feng Taoist acted as if he hadn’t heard the warning. Although the raging fire couldn’t burn through the vines, it was able to pass directly through the gaps between them and attack the South Sea Taoist’s true body!
The potent poison on the surface of the vines tried to contaminate the flames, but the moment it left the vines’ surface, it was burned to ashes.
The South Sea Taoist seemed startled. The three faces on his head merged into a single patterned one, and with a change of the Spell in his hands, he transformed into a streak of light to flee north. But the flames were faster!
"Have you felt the kindness of the flames?"
He Feng Taoist rarely spoke, yet when he did, it was to say something so utterly pointless.
As his voice echoed in the South Sea Taoist’s ears, the flames between heaven and earth instantly multiplied in intensity. From a distance, it looked as if some flammable substance clinging to the world had been ignited.
But strangely, just as the flames were about to engulf the South Sea Taoist, all the fire between heaven and earth suddenly extinguished without any warning. He Feng Taoist’s consciousness also faltered for a moment.
The South Sea Taoist continued to flee, his head once again showing three faces. One of the faces even turned back and spat a mouthful of poisonous gas toward He Feng Taoist’s location.
This time, when the poisonous gas reached He Feng Taoist, it directly devoured the fire-spirit barrier he had erected. Just as it was about to consume his Primordial Spirit and Spiritual Body, He Feng Taoist snapped out of his hesitation, and at the same time, the flames between heaven and earth were reignited.
"What a ’Flower-Faced Mask’!"
Far from being annoyed, He Feng Taoist actually showed a hint of joy. His eyes were covered by crimson flames, hiding the greed within them.
Flower-Faced Mask: Daoist Scripture Hall Classification ’First-Rank Superior, 04’.
It could alter karma, distort Magic, rewrite fate, and reverse life and death. However, the cost of using it was said to be extremely high. The South Sea Taoist had only dared to borrow its power briefly just now; otherwise, he could have directly obliterated He Feng Taoist.
Just as He Feng Taoist was about to charge forward again, a metal ring landed before him with the harsh scrape of metal on metal. A dense Netherworld Aura surged from within the ring, blocking his path. It then transformed into a streak of light and landed before Cang Ji, who was hundreds of yards away.
It seemed the opposing side wanted to switch opponents. They intended to use the South Sea Taoist, a Wood Cultivator, to deal with Wan Zhi Daoist, an Earth Vein Cultivator, leveraging the principle that ’wood overcomes earth’ to suppress her.
However, Wan Zhi Daoist landed directly beside He Feng Taoist, seeking to continue the battle two-on-two.
Just as both sides were brandishing their respective Magical Artifacts to continue the battle, they all suddenly stopped. While remaining wary of their opponents, they simultaneously looked toward Xiao Shan Lord’s direction.
At that moment, countless Divine Runes seeped out from the surface of the golden hall above the Divine Skill Map. They transformed the golden hall into a tangible Divine Hall, then sealed it from all outside observation!
At the same time, ten ’Celestial Swords’ around the golden hall formed a complex Divine Technique Formation, enveloping the Divine Hall and creating a light curtain that isolated it from heaven and earth.
