Chapter 306: The Madness

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Zhui Zi was retrieving the Centipede Grass earlier and Wen Leyang when he went to Black and White Island, they once made contact with the descendants of the moon's cone nail. The three siblings – Full Moon, First and Last Quarter Moon, did not jump to fight desperately with them the moment they met. Their attitudes were not considered friendly, but they were not considered hostile either – it was a very awkward interaction. They met twice, and not only were they not involved in the battle of life and death, they even saved Wen Leyang and Zhui Zi on the Black and White Island.

It was not the same this time. When the three descendants of moon's cone nail appeared, the exit of the place of the outer fringe suddenly rippled with Heavenly Moon's top supernatural powers. It was so silvery and bright, just like the radiance of the moon's glow, that it was capable of urging and seizing the soul!

Wen Leyang was bustling about. He waved the Ning Jiao's sting into a ball of ghastly cold radiance, yet his mouth could not help but to squall, "Why did all of you not come together at the same time?"

He had yet to defeat the first three, when the last three came again…

Full Moon was rather puzzled too, "We did not expect you to be here either!" He was speaking, but his hand seals that were spinning endlessly did not act on mercy, as streaks upon streaks of dazzling and lustrous Heavenly Moon's supernatural powers surged forward within the formation of the seal!

Even though the seven cultivators who followed the descendants of the moon's cone nails were no match to those top sword immortals, when anyone of them was placed in the cultivation world, they were strong enough to build their own sect. The terrifying master cultivators who made a clean sweep in one direction and with the joint effort of the seven people, they had already connected to Chi Maojiu's witchcraft murder. Hot Immortal Aunt calmed herself down from shock and shook the scorching fiery cloud next to her. Her body swayed as she was about to pounce towards Wen Leyang.

Full Moon on the other hand called out in panic, "The matter on the outside has already been accomplished; there is no need to continue fighting!"

Hot Immortal Aunt's expression revealed wild joy, and the gaze she shot towards Wen Leyang seemed to show that she had already regarded him as a dead man. Her body turned around in midair and bent over as she picked up Sir Rust and Shudou. She retreated swiftly towards the outside of the place of the outer fringe.

The more difficult it was to figure out Kong Nuer's plan, the more doubtful Wen Leyang felt in his heart. He watched helplessly as the enemies were about to escape. He exerted himself in order to urge the strong Poison of Life and Death in his entire body. After he leaped high up into the air, he made an abrupt turn in midair as fast as lightning. He was akin to an agile yet determined sparrow, as he shuttled through the Heavenly Moon supernatural powers that covered the entire sky. He then pounced ferociously towards Hot Immortal Aunt.

The bony Ning Jiao howled in rage. Its gigantic body tossed and turned and swayed, as it closely protected the master. It twisted through the maze of countless explosive and thundering supernatural powers. Its pitch-black eye sockets contained an exploding malevolent and tyrannical divine glow.

Hot Immortal Aunt was bringing Sir Rust and Shudou along as she pushed forward in a haste. The top of her head suddenly darkened and she was scared out of her wits when she looked up. Wen Leyang came down from above and pounced rapidly towards her.

Thousands of people were at the scene. Almost no one dared to believe that under the three top sword immortals' joint attack, Wen Leyang still managed to surge past them!

Hot Immortal was surprised and infuriated. Her hoarse voice was already out of tune as she roared in a strange manner, "You want to get killed?" She suddenly circulated her power with great urgency, as she used Sir Rust and Shudou as her 'hidden weapons'. Surprisingly, she tossed them towards Wen Leyang with all her might! Following that, her hands formed into a seal. She flipped over gracefully, yet she bawled and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. She then enunciated her words clearly and wailed bitterly, "Raise the fire, burn the heaven!"

The vast blue sky in the place of the outer fringe, following the Hot Immortal Aunt's Heavenly Fire Seal, exploded into a boundless sea of fire with a loud bang! Thousands of red-colored fiery snakes attacked Wen Leyang!

The lineage of Heavenly Fire exhausted the cultivation power of her entire body, in hopes of an attack capable of burning the heaven and annihilating the world…

Sir Rust and Shudou were tossed towards Wen Leyang by Hot Immortal Aunt. There was utterly no surprise in their expressions, as if the matter was supposed to be handled as such.

Sir Rust seemed to have forgotten that he was poisoned with strong poison; he screamed wildly, "Metal and steel, summon the genie!" He then smashed the top of his head ferociously.

A raging and sonorous sound that was akin to the collapse of a metal mountain exploded from the sky. A bronze-colored hand print with the circumference of a few kilometers surged out from the boundless fiery clouds. It resembled a huge mountain, as it slammed towards Wen Leyang's head heavily!

The lineage of Sharp Metal condensed his entire lifetime's worth of cultivation to give a powerful strike towards the heavenly steel genie…

Grandmother Shudou was about to die from severe injuries. Her body, which was seemingly about to fall apart at any time, was trembling and spinning in midair. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to exclaim in rage, yet with the sound of a cry, she spat out a murky and grotesque mud ball.

The moment the mud ball exited her mouth, the initially old and frail Shudou's hair turned from grey to completely white, before disintegrating into pieces. The skin of her entire body shriveled and lost all its shine in a flash, while her pupils were so murky as if it had melted into the white of her eyes, before turning into a pool of murkiness.

The mud ball appeared hideous and dirty. It seemed to carry the old woman's gastric juice and thick phlegm. The moment it appeared, it disintegrated into dust, while at the same time, thousands of silver stars appeared next to Wen Leyang. Even in the presence of thick and scorching flames, there was no way this fogginess from the starlight could be concealed! Streaks upon streaks of silver lines shuttled back and forth between the stars, and weaved into an enormous net that was still shimmering with a sharp glow that suddenly enshrouded him!

The old woman immediately severed her life vitality and used her birth year mud ball, in exchange for thousands of layers of star veil's murderous formation…

At the same time, Hot Immortal Aunt, Shudou and Sir Rust sacrificed their lives to simultaneously launch an attack. The three descendants of heaven's cone nails each fell back by one step. First Quarter Moon stood on the west, Last Quarter Moon stood on the east, while Full Moon guarded the middle ground. They each formed hand seals.

First Quarter Moon, "Absolute power of life and death!"

Last Quarter Moon, "Floating light and passing shadow!"

Full Moon's body was convulsing; his voice was also quivering accordingly. It was difficult to tell if he was crying or laughing, yet his raging roar seemed like he was attempting to spit out his internal organs from his throat, "Murderous… shadow!

The shadow that Wen Leyang reflected onto the ground suddenly vanished, and boundless darkness suddenly surged up from the ground as fast as lightning. It swallowed himself and the bony Ning Jiao entirely, all at once!

The fire element lit a fire that burned the heaven.

The metal element summoned the metal steel genie.

The star conjured thousands of layers of the star veil.

The moon, casted a murderous shadow.

Four descendants of the heaven's con nails, conjured four types of heaven-killing supernatural powers!

From all directions, the supernatural powers hit Wen Leyang at the same time! The final scene witnessed by countless watching cultivators was that under the terrifying supernatural powers, the fierce hideous bony dragon in midair suddenly bloomed with ghostly energy from the nether world. Its body coiled and curled around Wen Leyang tightly to protect him…

Soon after, a puff of radiance sharp enough to turn everyone blind, erupted in between the heaven and earth! An airwave rolled up, accompanied by the sound of howling, loud enough to shatter eardrums, swept towards the entire scene ruthlessly in a flash!

Chi Maojiu's eyes were almost exploding in rage; he could no longer care about entangling himself with the enemies. He squalled as he pounced forward in an attempt to save Wen Leyang, yet the moment his feet had left the ground, he was heavily tossed away by the tremendous force capable of destroying the heaven and earth.

Dust covered the entire sky, which misted over everyone's five senses and telegnosis ability!

The old monk, Ji Fei, carried the child, and just like the rest of cultivators from the place of the outer fringe, he was akin to a rolling bottle gourd under the tremendous force from the explosion of supernatural power. He fell backwards messily and the color was drained from his face… The only thought in his mind was – motherf*cking cunt!

As compared to the other two descendants of the heaven's cone nails who were injured beforehand, Hot Immortal Aunt was in the best health condition. Even though she dissipated the cultivation power of her entire body, she was not injured. She watched as Wen Leyang was about to be swallowed by the chain of supernatural powers. Her eyes were glimmering with incomparable excitement and she was not afraid of dissipating her cultivation power. For as long as she was alive, it was fine for her to be injured any more severely. They still had the Centipede Grass; she could be completely healed in no time.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The three descendants of the moon cone nail were still panting on the same spot, while Hot Immortal Aunt, Sir Rust and Shudou were falling from midair…

She watched as the enemy that made her clench her teeth in rage. The moment she thought about him, she imagined four ways to dismember him into a thousand pieces. The old woman Shudou was about to die soon. She was falling down from midair, yet she could not refrain herself from laughing.

Just as her dried lips had only curled into an arch, and before she could even laugh out loud, the shadow of a human figure suddenly surged out from the dust that covered the entire sky! A head with disheveled hair that was dressed in ragged and shabby clothes, with a body covered in blood and a ferocious expression… The person's mouth was continuously making a hoarse yet meaningless howling tone. The person was akin to a mad beast, and was also akin to the God of Slaughter who had infuriated the heaven!

The bony Ning Jiao was shattered, the Ning Jiao's armor was charred, and the Ning Jiao's sting was snapped. Yet despite losing every single one of his treasured weapons, Wen Leyang still possessed a body full of meridians, muscles and bones, flesh and blood that was refined and condensed from strong poison!

Four hits of supernatural powers capable of destroying the heaven and earth did not manage to collapse Wen Leyang's bronze skin and metal bones. They were refined through the utmost pain of the world and the hardest, most laborious ordeals for the joy of his family, for the safety of the people, for the search of his grand master grandfather's whereabouts, and for protecting Chang Li and Zhui Zi's lives for the past ten years.

His poisonous body, even though he had yet to become a saint, was not something these enemies, who wanted to capture Chang Li and kill all Tuo Xie's disciples, were capable of destroying!

Shudou had yet to change her smile into fright. She suddenly felt as her ankle tightened as she firmly grasped Wen Leyang. Shudou was already almost dead, yet her lips were quivering from fear towards this mad monster before her eyes. She spoke as if she was almost in tears, "Forgive me…" If the old woman Shudou had even half a second's time to ponder, she would absolutely never beg for forgiveness. She may even break out in curses, but everything happened too soon. Her thoughts were already completely halted, and in place were her survival instincts.

The reflection of blood exploded in midair. Shudou howled in agony; her bent and withered body was tossed by Wen Leyang ferociously towards the ground.

At the sound of a loud bang, Shudou was slammed so hard against the ground she made a deep indentation, yet half of her legs were still grasped in Wen Leyang's hands… When Wen Leyang was beating her against the ground, he had never let go of her!

Wen Leyang tossed away the broken legs and pounced towards Sir Rust who was almost startled to madness; with tears streaming down his face yet still completely oblivious.

Almost at the same time, the sound of loud shouting was heard again. The fat man, Full Moon's entire body was wrapped in moonlight. He slammed himself towards Wen Leyang at the speed of a meteor.

Wen Leyang once imagined that when he was fighting against Kong Nuer in the future, he would kill until there was no day or night. He would bathe himself in blood… yet he had never even thought that he would enjoy the treatment of participating in the battle of Mount Hua, where a group of demon immortals encircled and attacked the big moustache man once in his entire lifetime.

Even though the power of the joint attack was very different from last time, the imposing mannerism still remained the same. Wen Leyang was mad, but he was not infuriated to madness, he was too startled…

However, whether he was being infuriated or startled, he was genuinely mad. The vision before his eyes were filled with boundless light and radiance, and his ears were filled with thundering loud noise, yet his brain turned into a complete blank.

The only idea that was left in his mind was that Wen Bucao's disciples were vicious and atrocious for generations, while the life-or-death stubbornness that was planted in his bones – as long as I am not dead, you shall not be left alive!

Wen Leyang did not avoid or dodge, his limbs were outspread as he hugged Full Moon ferociously. The Poison of Life and Death was surging and roaring to the rhythm of the Faulty Punch, while the tremendous force and the strong poison pushed towards the opponent's body ferociously. Full Moon too was capable of shifting the life vitality from his entire body. In order to surge towards Wen Leyang's chest akin to a violent storm, within the gaze of countless cultivators staring in bewilderment, the two of them hugged each other from the sky, and fell stiffly onto the ground together, before breaking free from one another simultaneously.

The two persons stood up shakily akin to drunken men… they gave out the muffled sound of rumbling from their throats.

Full Moon covered his chest with his hands; his face was ghastly pale to the utmost extent. Strands of strong Poison of Life and Death intertwined with black and white flashed past his pupils. He lowered his head and spat out mouthfuls of fresh blood.

Wen Leyang on the other hand fisted his hands. Every single pore on his entire body was oozing with blood that turned him into a complete blood man. He was also vomiting blood, but he was not spitting it out. He raised his head and spat out a mouthful of blood mist towards the sky!

With four hits of supernatural powers, Wen Leyang was already severely injured. He was engaged in the hedging of life vitality with the enemy at this moment. Even if he managed to survive, he would only be left with half a life.

The corners of Chi Maojiu's eyes had already cracked from glaring excessively. Every one of the long vines that grew out from his sides were giving out a bitter and sharp howl. As the vines pounced towards the enemy akin to a raging sea, First Quarter Moon and Last Quarter Moon were roaring as they moved towards him simultaneously.

Other than the witchcraft spell, Chi Maojiu was like a wooden doll. He twisted his body in a clumsy yet swift manner, and he occasionally gave out the sound of a mouse's gnawing. Occasionally, he sang the sound of a crow's caw, as he fought with First Quarter Moon and Last Quarter Moon! Everyone knew that Chi Maojiu was mad, that he was a witch, and even though his witch's play was incisive, there was no advantage for him to fight desperately with top sword immortals in close quarter!

The seven cultivators who had just dashed in from the outside paid utterly no attention to the tragic battle before their eyes. They spread out their bodies and picked up the rest of the three sword immortals as they ran towards the outside of the place of the outer fringe.

The good hands like Tu Mi and the dwarf Taoist priest's eyes were filled with helplessness; they were lashed by the tremendous force. Even though they were not injured, yet under the shaking of their life vitality, it was difficult for them to restore their energy in a short period of time. There was no way they could launch their supernatural power to stop the enemies…

A muffled humph that hurt one's heart was heard. Chi Maojiu staggered and fell away for a few steps. He was not afraid of a one-on-one battle, but he was never a worthy opponent of the First and Last Quarter Moon when he was going up against the both of them alone. Just as Chi Maojiu was falling, Wen Leyang suddenly stretched his neck and swallowed the final mouthful of fresh blood back into his stomach. He was akin to a dizzy and confused bear. He spun around on the same spot for half a round, before swaying and staggering as he ran towards the fat man, Full Moon.

The fat man's chin was covered in fresh blood. The moment he realized that Wen Leyang was running over, he cried and shouted, "You're not human!" He then shuffled his footsteps, spread his legs and ran away…

Meanwhile, following the sound of a soft, faint sigh, the shadow of a human figure dressed entirely in white robe, floated into the place of the outer fringe from the outside, and firmly blocked Wen Leyang, "Stop, I don't want you to die in my hands!"

Wen Leyang could certainly not tell if he was crying or laughing, so he answered subconsciously, "F*ck you!" He then stretched his arms open and grabbed hold of the other party. He urged the Faulty Punch and Poison of Life and Death, while within his mind that had only slightly regained some wit earlier, was feeling that something was amiss…

The voice sounded familiar. A whiff of a sweet orchid scent emanated into his nose; the body in his arms felt petite and soft.

The white-robed man gave out another soft sigh with a pool of deep helplessness. It dropped onto the ground following her sigh and splashed up a puff of perplexed silence.

Wen Leyang let go of her. The other party's cultivation base was perhaps not on par with Chang Li or Zhui Zi, but her cultivation base absolutely exceeded the few descendants of the heaven's cone nails. Wen Leyang who was severely injured now, had utterly no way to force his poison power into her body. The white-robed man only held her breath and stood unmoved; she did not urge her life vitality to counterattack.

The white-robed man shouted towards both the First Quarter Moon and Last Quarter Moon, "Stop it!" She then stretched out her hand and wiped her face, before cracking into a friendly smile towards Wen Leyang.

Wen Leyang had already awakened; his eyes stared straight into the white-robed man. He stuttered after a long while, "Why are you here?"

It was One Word Palace's, Nineteen!

Chapter 307/104 – The New Moon

The three of them – Full Moon, First and Last Quarter, had realized that Nineteen was here. They exhaled a long breath of relief in unison and greeted her simultaneously, "Eldest sister!"

Nineteen fell back by a few steps and smiled to Wen Leyang, "I am New Moon. I am the descendant of the lineage of Heavenly Moon from northwest Mingsha Mountain." As she spoke, she stretched out her finger and pointed to the rest of the three descendants of moon cone nail, "I'm also their eldest sibling. I didn't expect you to be here too."

Even a child from the Wen family would know that One Word Palace had been conspiring against Nine Peaks Mountain all along, but the other party refused to reveal their ill intentions this entire time. The Wen family members too, were unwilling to turn hostile, yet Wen Leyang had never expected that One Word Palace was actually the lineage of Heavenly Moon. Nineteen was even the leader of the Heavenly Moon, she was New Moon!

The fat man, Full Moon, stood steadily; the color of his face was extremely gray. He bustled about as he procured a purse embroidered with a full moon from his chest pocket and retrieved a piece of Centipede Grass' leaf. He then placed it into his mouth cautiously before exhaling a long breath of relief. A forceful laugh then echoed towards Nineteen, "The eldest sister should have never saved Qin Zhui back then. Tuo Xie's disciples followed the clue and found the place of the outer fringe…"

Wen Leyang's mind was a chaotic mess. After he listened to Full Moon's words, he asked Nineteen almost subconsciously, "Did you save Qin Zhui?"

Nineteen nodded, "I saved Qin Zhui. It was a matter of an unquestionable moral truth, unrelated to all you descendants of Tuo Xie." Upon saying that, Nineteen inhaled a deep breath; her gaze suddenly turned resolute, "As you are in the place of the outer fringe, you shall face a certain death. Without a doubt, I will never allow you to disturb Kong Nuer's matter. If you have any other wishes, I swear in the name of Mingsha Mountain's Heavenly Moon lineage, that I will help you fulfill it!"

Tu Mi took a step forward and sneered in a high-pitched tone, "There are thousands of cultivators here, even so, only a few of you possess unsurpassed cultivation base…"

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by First Quarter Moon who spoke with a ghastly voice, "The few of us do not have the intention to fight or kill you. The moment all of you start launching an attack, we will immediately leave the place of the outer fringe.

Last Quarter Moon continued the words of his brother, "The great formation outside is already completed. The moment we leave, in a while, Shiwan Mountain's countless monsters will come dashing here. Honestly, if you want Wen Leyang to speak quietly to Nineteen, you shall stay here!"

Wen Leyang did not have an ounce of strength left in him. Chi Maojiu too was injured, while the other party had a new moon, a pair of first and last quarter moon and three top sword immortals with perfect combat capabilities. The victory and defeat was already determined. Even though there were thousands of cultivators in the surroundings, yet just by depending on their cultivation base, there was utterly no way to stop the descendants of the moon cone nail, should they wish to leave.

Wen Leyang was truly too lazy to think anymore. His entire body was trembling from exhaustion and he understood that the other party would certainly never allow him to leave the place of the outer fringe. He stretched out his finger and pointed to Chi Maojiu, Ji Fei and the rest, before pointing to the dwarf Taoist priest and Tu Mi, "Allow them leave this place."

Nineteen on the other hand, shook her head, "That's impossible. There are too many people here. Moreover, the people brought out of this place will have a portion of their memories erased by me. Chi Maojiu was skilled in rare art, Tu Mi and Qilian Sect's supreme leader possess profound cultivation base, and I am incapable of sealing their memories! The rest of the three people…"

Wen Leyang chuckled, "They are Ji Fei and Shui Jing, and the other one is but a child."

Nineteen gave a forced laugh, "This Art of Disguise, is truly remarkable! I shall bring the three of them out of the place of the outer fringe. I will erase their memories of the past few months before releasing them." As she was saying that, she paused for a moment, "I have unintentionally formed an enmity with Tuo Xie's lineage. If Nine Peaks Mountain were to find out what happened here, it will turn into a scene of no rest without death. I hope you'll understand why I did as such!"

Chi Maojiu spoke to Nineteen, "Bring Wen Leyang away from this place too. Tuo Xie's lineage shall be eternally grateful for your great kindness from now on!"

Nineteen still shook her head, "If Wen Leyang were to leave, he is willing to risk his life to stop us. Moreover… to bring him out, there is no way we can justify ourselves too!"

Chi Maojiu's eyes were bloodshot. He gave out an oppressed pant from his throat and was about to say something when Nineteen spoke in a dull tone, "There is no need… it is impossible." As she was saying that, she stretched out her finger and pointed to Ji Fei, Shui Jing and the child. She turned around and called out to her three companions, "Take them away."

Wen Leyang then pointed to the blind man, "He is an ordinary cultivator as well, and he's going to Nine Peaks Mountain to help You've Got Me." Wen Leyang only wished that the fat bug could live, yet he did not remember that You've Got Me had recognized its master and was spiritual. If he was dead, the bug could not live as well.

Nineteen was exceedingly straightforward. She stretched out her hand and pulled the blind man over, before pushing him to her companions. She waved her hand and instructed, "All of you leave first; I shall follow behind!"

The rest of the three descendants of moon cone nail brought Ji Fei and Shui Jing, the child and the blind man as they turned around to leave. Ji Fei turned his head around in an attempt to say something, but did not speak. Instead, he looked at Chi Maojiu as he nodded slightly. He mouthed three words, "Hang in there!" Soon after, the group of people vanished into the entrance of the place of the outer fringe.

Chi Maojiu truly wanted to reply to him – Will we be able to hang in here?

The moment they moved, the large group of cultivators in the place of the outer fringe too immediately moved along. Even Tu Mi could not help but to follow the crowd to surge towards the exit. But alas, no one had expected the exit to welcome a gush of incomparably thick and heavy force radiating from the outside. By the time they were dashing into it, it was as if there was an invisible great mountain that could not be pushed away or even moved. It blocked the only exit path from the place of the outer fringe.

The cultivators in the place of the outer fringe were blocked by the peculiar force and burst into a commotion all at once. Some with quick reaction had already understood that someone had casted a prohibition spell from the outside, allowing only their own people to enter and leave at will.

Nineteen remained calm and composed, as she explained in a simple manner.

This prohibition spell allowed entrance but not exit, but as it had yet to take full form earlier, they sent over their inferiors to seal the exit first. Now that the prohibition spell was completed, there was no need for their people to handle it anymore. Apart from the immortal master teacher's disciples being allowed to enter and exit at will, no one in the place of the outer fringe could even think of leaving!

At this point, Nineteen laughed, then she shot her gaze towards Wen Leyang again, "If you were as excellent as before, perhaps you can still use your strange punching method to punch your way through the prohibition spell, but right now… If I leave, all of Shiwan Mountain's monsters will surge into this place. Kong Nuer has assigned some people to design this for four years; it was meant to feed the cultivators in the place of the outer fringe to those monsters.

Nineteen's voice was not high-pitched, but she was not lowering her voice intentionally either. The surrounding cultivators had already become agitated initially, but upon hearing her words, they became completely infuriated. After a series of raging roars, capable of toppling the mountains and overturning the seas, were heard, treasured weapons rose up in layers that engulfed the sky and concealed the sun in the blink of an eye. They wished that they could immediately dismember Nineteen into thousands of pieces to vent their anger.

Just as the obvious feeling was aroused, fiery falcons shuttled through the air all of a sudden. Thousands of black long vines danced enchantingly, akin to a blooming, black man-eating flower when seen from a bird's eye view! Chi Maojiu's voice sounded extremely stern, one that carried a slight Qing Miao accent, and he even scattered his ruthlessness and tyranny into the sky, "Everyone, fall back!"

Tu Mi clenched her teeth, and raised the token in her hand once again. She instructed loudly, "Protect him!"

On the occasion when the crucial moment was about to happen, the World Sect's disciples received the order strictly. Upon the sound of their response, they had already surrounded Chi Maojiu and the rest in layers. They brandished their treasured weapons and stood gazing at one another with the other cultivators.

In the matter of life and death, Tu Mi was not supporting Wen Leyang blindly. She was an intelligent person and understood that if everyone were to launch an attack like a swarm of bees, it would only result in Nineteen's escape, followed by an imminent disaster. As that would be the result, she might as well allow Wen Leyang to have a discussion with Nineteen; perhaps they would be able to find some chance of vitality.

The people in the place of the outer fringe were infuriated, yet most of them were intelligent seniors. They figured out this principle after a moment, and retracted their treasured weapons in hatred. Some who were more impatient were helping the group to probe at the exit's prohibition spell once again, in hopes that they had one last opportunity to find the prohibition spell's flaw.

Chi Maojiu watched as the situation outside became much quieter. Only then he heaved a sigh of relief; too much panic in his expression. On the contrary, there was a little puzzlement. He looked at Nineteen and asked, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Nineteen's smile was warm and gentle. Even though she was not considered breathtakingly beautiful, she made everyone who looked at her feel a sense of comfort that was cheerful and pleasing to the eye, "I want to save all of you, but I cannot. I do not feel at ease in my heart, so, I shall stay for a little while longer. I will explain everything to all of you, if there is anything you wish to know, "

Even though Chi Maojiu was not even twenty years old, his natural disposition was bold and forthright. He burst out laughing upon hearing that, "Very well! Being dead from understanding the truth is still better than dying a confused soul! I shall ask first, I thought the monsters have already surged here earlier? Why didn't you just allow the monsters to surge here at that time? Why was it necessary to create all this trouble?"

As expected, Nineteen immediately answered, "Those were the monsters from the nearby two mountain peaks. It is still fine for them to surge and kill for a while, as they cannot hold on for a longer period of time. At this moment, the entire Shiwan Mountain's worth of monsters are waiting outside for a meal!"

Chi Maojiu nodded in a manner that was beyond delightful. He waved his hand and patted Wen Leyang, "It's your turn to ask a question!"

Wen Leyang could not even stand up, let alone ask a question. He pondered for a moment before bursting into feigned laughter, "I am not asking any questions. Why don't you tell us everything if you have the time?"

Nineteen did not act as graceful and poised like a lady from a noble family as she did usually. She stretched out her hand and scratched the back of her head, with mischievous agony rising in her face, "Hmm… where do I begin?"

Wen Leyang too laughed, "Start from the beginning!"

Nineteen stuck out her tongue and laughed, "Then, there would be a lot for me to tell!" She then thought for a moment before speaking again, "I don't know how much you know about Kong Nuer, however… The descendants of the moon cone nail would understand this – Kong Nuer who suppressed Xiang Liu on the Black and White Island, was not that immortal master teacher who led the cultivators in the world to go all out to serve him back in the day!"

Upon saying that, she was afraid that Wen Leyang could not understand her. She then added, "What I meant was, before the condensation of the demon-suppressing heaven's cone nails, someone was pretending to be the immortal master teacher! The Kong Nuer we see right now, is not the immortal master teacher from back then!"

Wen Leyang gave out a 'huh', and raised his brows with interest.

The split body Third Brother that seized the abode of the god level body, was a top secret matter. Zhui Zi only found out about the sequence of events, because she was right in the middle of that scheme.

Of course, the descendants of the moon cone nail did not know about this secret, yet it was unknown how they managed to discover the flaw.

Perhaps it was because Wen Leyang would die a certain death. Perhaps Nineteen was truly harboring regret in her heart. She did not try to hide anything else in her words and explained the matter of Heavenly Moon's lineage in entirety.

Below the Heavenly Moon's lineage, they were separated into four sects – New Moon, Full Moon, First and Last Quarter Moon. New Moon was the leader amongst them.

The Heavenly Moon Sect from Mingsha Mountain was the same as the Heavenly Water Sect from the snow peak. Their cultivation method was of the Yin genus, while the sect leaders for the past dynasties were all females. The Moon Sect's first ancestor was a top sword immortal that followed and served the immortal master teacher all year long. The relationship between the two of them was very intimate too.

At this point, Nineteen was blushing, "They are… especially intimate, no one else knew about that."

Wen Leyang was apparently more high-spirited, and chuckled, "I understand, the both of them are not ordinarily intimate!"

Nineteen was laughing with a furtive glance too…

The immortal master teacher led the heaven's cone nail master cultivators as they killed their way onto the snow peak. Zhui Zi was murdered in cold blood, but the Heavenly Moon Sect's leader did not pay too much attention to that. However, through their engagement in the future, she gradually discovered that something was wrong.

It could be said that Heavenly Moon back in those days was even more familiar to the immortal master teacher's body than the Third Brother. When they were spending time alone in the future, she discovered that something was wrong. The 'mark' that she left on the Third Brother's body in the past, had vanished.

Wen Leyang could not help but to reveal a peculiar smile. The god level body was exactly the same as the Third Brother. When the latter had occupied the god level body, Heavenly Moon discovered that the body had changed. She thought that the person had changed too, but in reality, the person truly did not… so the matter became complicated.

Third Brother utterly did not pay attention to that tiny mark on his body, nor did he reveal his doings to Heavenly Moon. Heavenly Moon, on the other hand, thought that Kong Nuer had already changed, but the new Kong Nuer's supernatural power and cultivation base were even stronger than the original one. She was afraid that the revelation of even an ounce of flaw, would result in the disaster that would eradicate her sect. She dared not probe around, neither did she dare to inquire even more.

Heavenly Moon did not discuss this matter with the other heaven's cone nails master cultivators. She understood in her heart that the result of her doing would only be the same as the Heavenly Water's lineage; that her sect would be eradicated by the other party.

Afterwards, Heavenly Moon herself was stripped off her primordial soul to condense the heaven's cone nail. In order to ensure that her sect dared not resist her decision, it could be said that eight of the heaven's cone nails master cultivators followed the immortal master teacher. Other than Zhui Zi, there was also a Heavenly Moon, who was stripped off her primordial spirit unwillingly and forcefully.

From then, the Heavenly Moon's disciples were unlike the rest of the descendants of heaven's cone nails. They continued to wait and serve the immortal master teacher willingly, as they were conspiring to steal away the moon cone nail on the Black and White Island in the future, and figure out a way to resurrect their first ancestor.

After the heaven's cone nails great formation on the Black and White Island was completed, Kong Nuer retreated back to live in seclusion. He disappeared without a trace from then on, but before he left, he planted a spiritual spell on the master cultivators serving him and passed down the spell to the following generations from then on, in order to ensure that he could contact his inferiors at any time hereafter. This form of magic spell did not hinder the person, but allowed them to contact one another, and also allowed the immortal master teacher to locate them at any time.

The immortal master teacher's spiritual spell was passed down for generations on the New Moon's body. The Heavenly Moon's disciples dared not make reckless moves. After many generations until three thousand years ago, they finally figured out a way to break the passing of the magic spell. From that moment on, the Heavenly Moon's lineage on Mingsha Mountain officially vanished from the others' sight. The rest of the heaven's cone nails sects thought that the bloodline of Heavenly Moon was lost; they paid no attention to it anymore.

While Nineteen was explaining, she looked towards Chi Maojiu, "The act of breaking the spiritual magic spell was very similar to the Art of Witchcraft. It was based on a method that was figured out by our first ancestors through laborious efforts. The spiritual spell was broken, but the price that we had to pay was…"

Chi Maojiu had been staring at the white robe on Nineteen's body all along. He was absent-minded in a baffling manner, as he had just regained his focus right. He did not even need to ponder before he continued, "The price is that every generation of New Moon is not allowed to have her own name! Hah-hah, that's why you are named Nineteen, but Nineteen sounds rather pleasant. At least it is stronger than Thirteen."

Nineteen burst out laughing, "Thirteen is my sister! Not only the New Moon alone, but every generation of female children under New Moon's sect are not allowed to be named."

New Moon's top cultivation base did not purely come from cultivation, but it was awakened from her meridians that were inherited. Before her meridians were awakened, no one could know which one amongst the large group of female children in the Moon cone nail's family, would become the next New Moon.

That was why every single one of the female children in the family was not allowed to be named.

When Wen Leyang was visiting the snow peak, her meridians were awakened. She prayed to the moon, transferred the spirit, and received the inheritance of the power of the new moon. From that point on, she was the sect leader of the Moon cone nail's sect.

In the perception of the descendants of moon cone nail, One Word Palace was used to conceal their identity. They did not have the intention to change it into the right path of Five Blessings, but something happened afterwards. One Word Palace needed more supporting influence to continue investigating the matter. Coincidentally, there was the battle of the right and evil a thousand years ago. One Word Palace seized that opportunity to rise abruptly.

Nineteen's gaze was shifting in between Wen Leyang and Chi Maojiu. She laughed as she spoke, "The matter that we're investigating, is precisely your family's grand master, Tuo Xie's whereabouts!"

Wen Leyang suddenly laughed. He stretched out a hand weakly as he patted Chi Maojiu's shoulder, "The grand master, Tuo Xie, is prestigious! Every single rise of the Five Blessings is related to him!"

Chi Maojiu too laughed out loud; pride was overflowing from his face. The both of them laughed for a long while before they shut up, before asking in unison, "Why are you investigating the grand master, Tuo Xie?"

Nineteen answered in all apparent seriousness, "Because every generation of New Moon is related to the first ancestor who is condensed into the moon genus heaven's cone nail on the Black and White Island!"

Wen Leyang's face was filled with astonishment; he widened his eyes.

The first ancestor of the Heavenly Moon's lineage was condensed into the demon-suppressing cone nail, but every time on the occasion of the New Moon's awakened meridians, the next New Moon was capable of communicating with the first ancestor using a temporary telekinesis, through the process of praying to the moon and transferring of spirit.

Even Nineteen was unaware that this peculiar ability was actually intentionally prepared by the first ancestor before she was condensed into the heaven's cone nail. It was formed from cultivation, or was an inherent supernatural power of the Heavenly Moon's lineage.

Two thousand years ago, Tuo Xie once stepped onto the Black and White Island and disclosed the entire process of how he casted witchcraft spell to resurrect Zhui Zi to Tian Yin's true soul.

The moon genus heaven's cone nail hence learned that it was possible for her to be resurrected, but it was almost until a thousand years later, that the New Moon's meridians were awakened. The moon cone nail finally had the opportunity to transfer the knowledge of this information to her descendant, and by then, Tuo Xie had since vanished.

In order to investigate Tuo Xie and his descendants' whereabouts, One Word Palace developed their domineering influence. Soon, they found out about the three families of Wen, Miao, Luo, but at that time, the three lineages of Shudao's descendants were only ordinary people. They were of no help to the One Word Palace.

Another one thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. It was until after Wen Leyang cultivated into the first ancestor Wen Lazi's cultivation method, that he severely dented a group of cultivators from the Sun of Palace Dynasty in the village. One Word Palace shifted its gaze towards Shudao once again!

The Wen family was treated as common folk for the past two thousand years, when a young disciple suddenly came jumping out – he could defeat a group of cultivators easily. One Word Palace's first thought was that Tuo Xie was back, and Wen Leyang had inherited Tuo Xie's legacy.

Following that, Wen Leyang was regarded as an honored guest by the Temple of Great Mercy on Mount Emei. One Word Palace then valued the Wen family even more.

At this point, Nineteen laughed in embarrassment, "Actually… when that wicked witch from Jingpo autonomous prefecture snuck into the Miao stockade village in an attempt to seize the witchcraft power, we received news about that as well."

The Mo family from Jingpo autonomous prefecture was beaten by One Word Palace back in the day; its surviving evildoers escaped into the mortal world and regarded themselves as World Sect.

Not to mention the moon cone nail behind their back, One Word Palace claimed the authority of the right path of the cultivation world for over a thousand years. How was Jingpo, the wicked witch capable of hiding her scheme from them? They were too lazy to pay attention on usual days, yet they would absolutely never allow the enemy to seize the entire Miao clan's witchcraft power.

One Word Palace's good hands were supposed to rush towards the Miao stockade village to eradicate the wicked witch, yet they changed their mind due to Wen Leyang's abrupt emergence into the world.

According to One Word Palace's perception, if Tuo Xie had truly returned, he would absolutely not stand aside and watch as disaster befell the Miao clan. It was such a great opportunity for them to probe around – One Word Palace was unwilling to miss it.

When Wen Leyang saved the Miao clan once again, One Word Palace too grew more and more certain. The matter of forcing a marriage was still because they were looking for Tuo Xie's whereabouts.

Afterwards, Wen Leyang's mighty power rose abruptly and caused the cultivation world to grow and change rapidly. The demon immortals, corpse immortals and sword immortals that had disappeared for many years had returned continuously. One Word Palace followed on the path of Wen Bucao's disciples like a leech.

As for whether Nineteen was to marry Wen Leyang or not, One Word Palace did not mind. She was already hanging out with the Wen family, so she would know the moment Tuo Xie revealed himself.

Wen Leyang nodded continuously after listening to her, "Why don't you ask us directly?"

Nineteen cracked into her smile; she was glowing with faint beauty, "Even if all of you were to tell the truth at the time, I'll still refuse to believe it!"

Chapter 308: The Immortal Grass

Nineteen stayed on the Nine Peaks Mountain for a few years. During the arduous battle on Mount Hua four years ago, when Wen Leyang, Chang Li, Zhui Zi and the rest were almost certainly dying, Tuo Xie still did not show up all along. It was only then she could confirm that Tuo Xie's whereabouts were unknown.

Chi Maojiu was starting to look absentmindedly into her white robe again. Nineteen finally could not refrain herself anymore. She stretched out her hand and waved her hand before Chi Maojiu's eyes, "What's wrong with my clothes? Is it dirty somewhere?" As she spoke, she lowered her head and checked for any dirty spots on her white robe.

Chi Maojiu gave out a 'heh', "This attire of yours looks very familiar! When I was on Mount Hua, that mysterious white-robed man was you right?"

Nineteen pouted her lips, her face was filled with dissatisfaction, "You have only recognized me now? I thought you would've already discovered my identity! I saved all of you twice at the time!"

Nineteen then parted her spring onion-like fingers. She counted with them one by one, accompanied by a sense of pride, "The first time was when the demon immortals and the heavily-moustached man were engaged in a fierce battle. The tremendous force generated from the rhythm of their final strike because I launched my supernatural power in secret. I saved the few people with poor cultivation bases and those who were closest to the Wen family."

Chi Maojiu stretched out his finger and pointed to his nose, "The people you saved during the first round, included me."

"The people that I saved during the second round, included you too!" Nineteen giggled, "When Wen Leyang and the demon immortals were chased into the Desert Rebel Mountain by the heavily-moustached man formed from the Sword's Resolve, the few descendants of the heaven's cone nails sects' disciples were about to launch a countercharge. I descended the mountain first to disguise my appearance, then, I came back to assume command of the scene. Otherwise the big and small demon rabbit, Kunlun Sect's Liu Zheng, would all die on the spot."

Nineteen seemed to be a little tired. She moved her shoulders as she continued, "I was already the new generation of New Moon at the time. It was as easy as lifting a finger for me to save you, but this friendly sentiment of mine is still not considered small. Even though we are not on the same path, the domineering influences that gathered around the Nine Peaks Mountain are truly not small, leaving behind some favors. If there were truly some misunderstanding in the future, then my act is considered leaving behind some leeway for us."

At this point, Nineteen's smile gradually faded, "However… I did not expect all of you to be here. There's really nothing that I can do this time."

Chi Maojiu frowned, "How are we not on the same path? If you're going to deal with Kong Nuer too, why don't you join hands with us?"

Nineteen on the other hand, shook her head, "You're wrong. It is you who want to deal with Kong Nuer. We are only hoping to resurrect our first ancestor! If we were to fail at locating Tuo Xie, the only person capable of resurrecting the first ancestor under the heaven, can only be one person!"

Wen Leyang heaved a sigh then spoke, "Kong Nuer!"

Nineteen nodded in slight helplessness, "That is correct. Unless we can confirm that we have found a method to resurrect the first ancestor, Kong Nuer is absolutely not allowed to die. That is why I can't allow all of you to leave."

Chi Maojiu was still defiant, "Even if you were to fail to locate the grand master's whereabouts, under the vast advancement of my Art of Witchcraft, perhaps I can be of help to you."

Nineteen did not wait for him to finish his sentence before she feigned laughter, "There is only one Kong Nuer, and no more of him when he's dead. Yet after you're dead, there will still be new great witches appearing amongst Miao Bujiao's disciples, who have inherited the three Arts that fused into one continuously… We still have other opportunities in the future. If the choice is on you, which one will you pick?"

Chi Maojiu was staring in bewilderment from the choke.

Wen Leyang waved his hand indifferently, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Please continue to tell us about what happened afterwards."

In the beginning, the descendants of moon cone nails tried every possible way to erase the spiritual spell on their bodies in order to allow them to run errands conveniently without being controlled by Kong Nuer. In the end, they finally understood that in order to resurrect the first ancestor, they could only count on Tuo Xie's return or Kong Nuer's help.

Four years ago, Kong Nuer's track reappeared. In Nineteen's perception, this was also considered an opportunity to resurrect the first ancestor. It was only then she plucked off half a stem of Centipede Grass as an initiative to show her friendliness. As for the disappearance of the spiritual spell, they had their own set of excuses. With the Centipede Grass, and also four top master cultivators' actual power, Kong Nuer's inferiors accepted them once again with joy.

Wen Leyang coughed, "All of you wouldn't mind the trouble?"

Nineteen was more tormented than he was, "This was a matter of not being left with a choice, but to do so, our ancestors thought that they could accomplish the mission by only depending on our strength initially, yet they discovered that it was impossible afterwards. It was either Tuo Xie, or Kong Nuer. We would still need to rely on one side anyhow."

After Nineteen was done narrating the past events of the descendants of moon cone nail, she directed the topic of conversation back to the present.

That five-element demon was supposed to be sound asleep itself, but he was suddenly awakened by the immortal master teacher's oracle. It was only then he came out from the mountain and led a group of descendants of the heaven's cone nails, as he started to make preparations for the place of the outer fringe.

This demon seemed to be a little innocent himself. He could only remember that he was the immortal master teacher's disciple, while the conspiracy this time was related to the immortal master teacher's life and death. He must not be careless in handling this matter regardless.

In the past four years, the demon led a large group of master cultivators. They laid down a total of three magic formations.

The first magic formation was launched by the three people of Shudou, Sir Rust and Hot Immortal Aunt in the place of the outer fringe. It connected this stretch of sky and land to Shiwan Mountain soundlessly.

The second magic formation was managed by the five-element demon. He laid down the position of the place of the outer fringe according to the calculation done earlier. In order to generate huge earthquakes and seal the old path, they opened the new path to the central region of Shiwan Mountain.

It was only then Wen Leyang had understood, that the final huge earthquake in the place of the outer fringe, was not implicated by Shiwan Mountain, but was caused by Kong Nuer's magic formation.

The third magic formation was already completed, but it was still not launched. Nineteen too, did not understand the specific purpose of the magic formation, but only knew that it could only be launched by the combined effort of the four people – Hot Immortal Aunt, Shudou, Sir Rust and the five-element demon.

After the huge earthquake, the five-element demon ordered the descendants of the heaven's cone nail to guard the outside of the exit and to reinforce the people on the inside at any time. In the meantime, he would entere Shiwan Mountain to destroy the spiritual rocks that were used to suppress the evil caves, and release the countless monsters from the huge mountain. The five-element demon spent more than a month and had only returned when the monsters in Shiwan Mountain were completely agitated and were lured by the demon's magic spell to here.

In the end, Kong Nuer's doing was meant to feed the countless cultivators in the place of the outer fringe to the monsters. The specific reason for doing so was that it feared that no one else apart from Kong Nuer himself, knew.

Nineteen did not interfere with others temporarily; she understood that if Kong Nuer were to live, she must complete his design. That was why the descendants of the moon cone nail revealed themselves. They entered the place of the outer fringe to save Hot Immortal Aunt and the rest of the two people.

Nineteen was done explaining everything she could. She blinked her slightly-moistened eyes and attempted to swallow her tears, yet she accidentally outsmarted herself. The tears rolled down her eyes and left crystal-clear tracks on her face. She opened her arms wide and bent over as she hugged Wen Leyang, "Qin Zhui and I treated you as our friend. You can't have your cake and eat it too. We shall part ways here and now. If all of you were to survive this… forget it, how is it possible for all of you to survive this?" At this point, Nineteen suddenly bawled and cried out loud. She stood up and turned around as she left!

With the moonlight protecting her body, a streak of shimmering arc flashed across the sky and Nineteen disappeared from the exit of the place of the outer fringe there and then.

The large group of cultivators were staring at her with hostility, yet none of them managed to do anything in time. It was until after she had already vanished, did they scream out in surprise together. At the same time, the sound of a roar that roused the heavens surged skywards suddenly. A dozen strange, three-eyed elephants with green scales covering their legs, dashed wildly into the place of the outer fringe from the entrance!

Soon after, the sound of strange cries and long howls erupted in the blink of an eye. It was unknown how many monsters there were; they dashed in from the outside in a large number!

The group of cultivators cursed and yelled in rage. Some were screaming in panic, and waved their treasured weapons as they pounded towards the monsters messily, to seal the exit.

Wen Leyang's body finally felt limp. He leaned on Chi Maojiu as he slumped onto the ground and exhaled a breath strenuously, "She has left! Take it out quick!"

Chi Maojiu was still smiling proudly initially, but upon hearing Wen Leyang's words, he was suddenly stunned, "How… how did you know?"

Wen Leyang stirred his wounds as he slumped onto the ground. His entire body was being pulled to a point of agony. The muscles of his face squeezed into a ball, but his voice still sounded rather relaxed, "If the number one witch from Miao stockade village were to retain no other aims, how could he be so foolish to engage the First and Last Quarter Moon in a close quarter fight?"

Chi Maojiu burst out laughing, "Whether we live or die, will depend on what is contained here!" He turned his hand over and brandished a small embroidered purse. There was a wheel of last quarter moon embroidered on the purse. He did not hesitate at getting severely injured to engage the enemies at close quarter fight, because he wanted to… steal something!

When Chi Maojiu was fighting desperately with First and Last Quarter Moon, the wild vines were waving around messily in the sky. The strange bugs were tossing and turning; there was not an ounce of lethality, yet the fine vine capable of hiding from cultivators' telegnosis ability pulled out this embroidered purse soundlessly. The other half of the Centipede Grass was seized away by the descendants of heaven's cone nails. If this species of immortal grass was capable of retaining a person's life, they would certainly bring it along with them. In the end, Chi Maojiu was risking his life in order to retrieve this embroidered purse!

As expected, three pieces of frosty green leaves were lying on the inside of the embroidered purse; its medicinal effect was sealed by a dash of silver-colored moonlight.

Under the heaven, there was no one who lacked the ability of killing Last Quarter Moon, yet the person who was capable of causing him to lose his embroidered purse without his realization was feared to be only Chi Maojiu.

Chi Maojiu did not waste time talking nonsense as he stretched out his hands to retrieve a piece of leaf, which he stuffed into Wen Leyang's mouth.

Wen Leyang could only feel as a gush of coldness spread out in his mouth. Soon after, he felt boundless dizziness, and before he could manage to speak, he had already fainted and went into slumber…

Chi Maojiu exhaled a long breath. Before he could manage to stand up, Tu Mi had already jumped and landed by his side. She pointed to Wen Leyang and asked, "How long does it take before he wakes up?"

Chi Maojiu shook his head, "It will not take too long – a few days, at most. I can't tell the exact period of time."

The cultivators in the place of the outer fringe had already turned into a great confused mess. They were shouting loudly, as they guided their treasured weapons to blast the monsters that were squeezing into the place of the outer fringe messily.

The dwarf Taoist priest too walked in quick strides to the front of Chi Maojiu. He shook his head and there was no way to tell who he was looking at, "It's not alright to blast away like this!"

The monsters came in large numbers, but the entrance to the place of the outer fringe was limited. In reality, the position where the cultivators were standing could allow them to guard with ease but it was difficult to attack. They occupied the topographical advantage, yet thousands of cultivators were attacking on their own in a disarray. They waved their treasured weapons around together, and thousands of supernatural powers converged. But alas, they only managed to kill one monster.

Soon after, many people realized that their supernatural powers were all in vain, so they stopped attacking in unison. Those supernatural powers that sealed the entrance almost completely vanished in the blink of an eye, and the monster almost dashed into the place once again…

The dwarf Taoist priest continued, "With ten percent of our manpower now, we can firmly guard the entrance for half an hour!"

There were a total of over twenty thousand cultivators who were gathered near the entrance now. A majority of them, albeit possessing panic expressions, had not run away. The depth of the place of outer fringe had already been shaken into a stretch of ruins. Anyone could understand in his heart that once the monsters broke through the exit, it would just be a stretch of boundless plain. There was no other tenable position of defense.

There was not a sense of anxiousness that could be seen in Tu Mi's expression. She spoke directly, "Divide the people into ten groups, send them forward and repeat in cycles, but if you want these people to listen to you, then you will need to use the name of Tuo Xie's descendants."

Yet the dwarf Taoist priest shook his head, "Divide the people in five groups. Every group is divided into two teams – one is in charge of watching out for the enemy, while the other is in charge of flanking them."

Tu Mi was a woman of great force. She was skilled in military strategies, and would only need a moment's ponder, before she understood the dwarf Taoist priest's intention.

The monsters' actual power was uneven. Judging by the situation now, ten percent of manpower was capable of guarding the entrance for one hour, yet they could not tell at which point, there would be a large group of strong and tyrannical monsters charging forward. So, using ten percent of cultivators to rotate at this point, was not a very secure move.

Tu Mi chuckled as she nodded to the dwarf Taoist priest, "Below the Cloud Heavenly Sect, there are seven hundred cultivators who are called to the old immortal's order."

The dwarf Taoist priest returned the salutation to Chi Maojiu, "Great Master Tu's saying had truly shamed the Taoist priest to death…"

Chi Maojiu hastily jumped aside. He laughed as he spoke, "We are helping each other in times of trouble. There is no need for too much courtesy amongst us. Will the Qilian Immortal senior please be in charge of the matter of guarding and killing the monsters? I will be in charge of buying us some time!"

Upon saying that, Chi Maojiu inhaled a deep breath. He suddenly exhaled out loud and shouted to everyone in his vicinity, "Four days ago, the three families of Wen, Miao, Luo summoned their master cultivators, along with a group of demon immortals they entered Shiwan Mountain. It will not take long before they can break the thief's magic formation and return the serenity back to the place of the outer fringe!"

The moment Chi Maojiu spoke, he first sketched out the idea of 'reinforcement was about to arrive' to the crowd.

A majority of the cultivators revealed a surprised expression. Under the continuous violent battles earlier, a few top sword immortals were shouting out the name of 'Wen Leyang'. The cultivators in the entire world were aware that Wen Leyang was the most famous disciple in Shudao. The three families of Wen, Miao, Luo would never neglect this matter, so upon hearing Chi Maojiu's words, they were feeling more steady in their hearts.

Chi Maojiu continued, "We can only hope that everyone will help each other in times of trouble. As long as we can pull through the next few days, the world will be at peace!"

Before his voice died away, the sound of a responding promise echoed in all directions from the crowd, "There is no need for the immortal aunt to waste her words; we will abide by the assignment!"

Tu Mi smiled. The people who broke out in an uproar amongst the crowd were all her sect's disciples, but the reputation of Tuo Xie's descendants grew vastly over the past few years. Both Chi Maojiu and Wen Leyang made a grand display of supernatural powers even earlier. They continuously injured the top sword immortals severely before everyone else, and had already become the crowd's life saver by now. The sound of their response grew more and more, and turned into the loud sound of agreement, capable of toppling the mountains and overturning the seas!

Chi Maojiu burst out laughing, "Everyone knows their own ability best. My ability is that I am alright at acting as a reinforcement soldier, but if I were to become the general… regardless of anything, the monsters outside would even laugh aloud at me in their dreams."

Many of the cultivators were laughing, but even more were talking all at once, "There is no need for the immortal aunt to modestly decline…"

Chi Maojiu shook his head in all apparent seriousness, "Not too long ago, Tuo Xie's disciple said that everyone is to follow the lead of Qilian Immortal Sect. Not in the sense of wild talks and lies, but of the magic formation's military strategies, Tuo Xie's disciple greatly admires the Qilian Immortal senior!" He then turned around and bent over as he saluted the dwarf Taoist priest, "Will the immortal senior please take the lead of guarding the entrance?"

The cultivators were mostly stunned. Chi Maojiu did not wait for the others to respond. He shouted in a sonorous voice, "In a life and death occasion, we will still need to request for everyone who shares the same path to pull together and work hard as a team! I shall buy us some time. Those that believe in Tuo Xie's descendant are to abide by the immortal senior's order. When we are done killing the thief and defeating the monsters, we shall get good and drunk on the Seven Maidens Mountain!"

Upon saying that, Chi Maojiu looked up to the sky and bellowed loudly, "Fellow divine immortals, please retract your supernatural powers and treasured weapons!" Before his voice died away, fiery falcons that covered the sky appeared once again. At the sound of their sharp cries, he summoned the thundering witch's song! The soil around the entrance of the place of the outer fringe had stalks of small grasses suddenly breaking out from it. In a flash, a stretch of a green-colored forest raised from the ground and was shimmering enchantingly. Every single one of the monsters that was dashing from the outside sank into the forest, and gave out a sorrowful and painful howl!

Within the sound of his loud laughter, Chi Maojiu kicked and stepped on his shoes. He walked into the forest of witch's kill that was condensed out of his entire witchcraft power.

The sound of a ghost's wail and wolf's howl urged the forest into shaking continuously. No one could tell how the situation inside the forest was. What they could see was puffs upon puffs of thick and foul-smelling fresh blood spurting out continuously towards the sky!

Chi Maojiu depended on his own power to block the entrance of the place of the outer fringe in order to buy the dwarf Taoist priest some time! Every one of the cultivators felt aroused and excited. Moreover, the dwarf Taoist priest was not from the place of the outer fringe. He was utterly not biased. In addition to the Word Sect's full force support, none of the cultivators at the scene truly left.

The dwarf Taoist priest did not have the time to equalize the actual power. So he issued an order to instruct all cultivators to stop moving. Following that, he was akin to cutting through a tofu. He divided the pitch-black twenty thousand people that stretched as far as the eyes could see, into five groups of ten teams…

After a while, the first group made up of a total of two thousand cultivators shouted in unison as they waved their treasured weapons to take the place of Chi Maojiu. Chi Maojiu was already almost exhausted; he lay in Tu Mi's arms as he gave a forced laugh, "I'm going to sleep for a few days too!" His witchcraft power was almost exhausted. He was severely injured too. Rather than watching helplessly as the cultivators fought with the monsters, he might as well eat a piece of leaf to heal his injuries.

Tu Mi giggled, "Off you go to heal your injuries; I shall protect you!"

Chi Maojiu did not speak anymore. He procured a piece of Centipede Grass leaf and placed it into his mouth…

The dwarf Taoist priest was an experienced and orthodox sect leader; he had a good knowledge of all sorts of Taoist magic. Twenty thousand cultivators, divided into five groups and ten teams, took turns and repeated the cycle with each other. Under his orders, they served with their cultivation base and supernatural power according to the level of their treasured weapons, talisman, sword formation, magic spell and et cetera. Their rhythm became smoother and smoother. Soon, they had already become more relaxed.

The life vitality of the cultivators was limited. Even if they were to advance and retreat to a certain degree, as well as conserve their energy, sooner or later, their life vitality would be exhausted too.

While the monsters in Shiwan Mountain were ceaseless and boundless, there was no end to killing them. They were akin to tempestuous waves, that were charging continuously without a moment's stop at the place of the outer fringe. The Taoist priest and Tu Mi understood that in the state of hopelessness without reinforcement, it was a matter of sooner or later, before the monsters would come dashing in…

Chapter 309: The Assembly

It had already been four days, and the monsters that came dashing out from Shiwan Mountain grew stronger and stronger. They were no longer the hideous evil creatures with pointy fangs and sharp claws, but were malicious creatures that inherently possessed magic on their bodies; ones that would only be seen in ancient legends.

The cultivators too could not tell how many cycles they had exchanged. Almost everyone's expression was dimmed; the amount of injuries and fatalities too gradually increased. Little Chi Maojiu and Wen Leyang had yet to wake up; they appeared to be comfortable and in peace, each sleeping deeper and sounder than one another.

Following the dwarf Taoist priest's order, four thousand cultivators leaped out, and took the place of the previous group of companions.

Tu Mi looked at the breach in hatred and retracted her treasured weapon. She brought along her people as they fell back, and walked in front of the dwarf Taoist priest. She then asked in a lowered voice, "At this rate, how long do you think we can last?"

The dwarf Taoist priest's face revealed a forced smile, "Another three to four days with great effort; I can't predict any much longer than that. The crowd is already not working as hard as before; they are all thinking of conserving some actual power, so they can defend themselves when the place is destroyed."

Tu Mi gave out a 'bah'. She was about to exclaim in rage, but soon after, she shook her head while laughing, "It's only human nature in this situation. They are able to behave as such now; it's not considered an easy task.

Meanwhile, the cultivators who had just taken position suddenly screamed out in surprise. The monsters that had never stopped flowing all along for the past few days were akin to a mighty torrent that was suddenly barred by a giant water lock. The monsters suddenly stopped attacking without a sign. It only took a short moment for all the shadows and forms to disappear suddenly.

After that moment of shock and astonishment, the eyes of every cultivator were burning with wild joy. Everyone shared the same thoughts – the reinforcement had arrived!

The dwarf Taoist priest's face was filled with surprise and joy as well. He looked at Tu Mi and was about to say something when the sound of an extremely suffocating bang echoed from in between the heaven and earth.

The air from the border of the place of the outer fringe surged into a pool of ripples out of nowhere The air was rippling in an obvious manner and had spread across the entire stretch of sky and land in the blink of an eye.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The muffled loud noise was heard continuously. It did not sound rushed, but instead, sounded a little slow, yet every sound that was heard was in sync with the crowd's heartbeat – so slow that it was suffocating! The place of the outer fringe was akin to a gigantic soap bubble, and there was something on the outside that was knocking against the soap bubble over and over again.

Everyone stood gazing at one another. Within their gazes, they could read fear, that dash of surprise and the joy that was washed away into nothingness, under the layered airwave ripples!

The dwarf Taoist priest was the first one to react to the situation. He waved his hand and brandished his flying sword. The moment he launched an attack, the Qilian disciples immediately gathered forward. There were thousands of treasured weapons suspended in the sky, but that Red-colored Sword Formation was like a wound lying across the heaven and earth. It was the most striking to the eyes and most dreadful to the mind.

The Taoist priest issued an order in a lowered voice, "This feels queer. It may not necessarily be reinforcement, everyone…" Before he could finish his sentence, the final muffled sound surged skywards. The entire place of the outer fringe jumped up ferociously, and shook so hard the cultivators were toppling to the side.

A dozen streaks of fissures appeared in the air out of nowhere, akin to an earthworm with its tail cut off. The fissures twisted its bodies with great effort, and spread out in all directions towards the entrance to the place of the outer fringe. The dwarf Taoist priest's face suddenly turned ghastly pale and was almost shouting in a hoarse voice, "They are trying to widen the entrance!"

Before his voice died away, the sound of strange beast's roaring and humming was heard from an unseen world. The monsters' mighty torrent that had only stopped for a moment, started surging once again while the entrance of the place of the outer fringe was wider than before, by more than ten times! The creature that was surging at the front, was a filthy evil spirit with hard skin and armor that possessed rare magic!

Xing Gu, appeared in a form almost like a rabbit – pure white and adorable, yet it had four unusually strong and thick hooves. The sound of its footsteps was heavier than a wild elephant. Every step it took would certainly cause a giant rock to fall from the sky.

Jie Huang, that appeared no different from a slightly larger locust, fancied shaking its wings to hum in joy. The sound of its singing was sharp enough to crack giant rocks. When it moved, it travelled in groups of thousands. Where the sound of loud bangs was heard, the heaven collapsed and the earth sank.

Cui Ran, the three-eyed golden bird, travelled like the wind. Although it was timid as a mouse, its gaze on the other hand, was intense. Everyone who gazed into its eyes, would immediately go mad, no matter how profound their cultivation base was.

The flying sand and rolling pebbles, the demonic aura and ghost shadows, as well as the blood mist and evil paths… The thick fishy stench was almost solid, as it engulfed the sky and the land. The crystal clear blue sky turned dim and devoid of light in the blink of an eye! At this moment, the cultivators in the place of the outer fringe finally could no longer stay united with the same morality. Some cowardly people could not suppress the fear and dejection in their hearts. They turned around and ran towards the depth of the place of the outer fringe.

When one person ran away, two more became panic-stricken. When two people became panic-stricken, four more would shuffle their feet in secret… The fear on the battleground was akin to a plague that spread out as it pleased in a flash. More and more people were running away. The dwarf Taoist priest flew into a rage; his flying sword was guiding the Sword Formation in midair to spin around. The shimmering red glow felt cold yet sharp. He wanted to execute the deserters, yet in the end, the Qilian Sword Formation still changed its direction, rippling with vigorous and enchanting flames. The sword formation surged towards those turbulent wave-like monsters at the entrance, while the Taoist priest stomped his foot ferociously. He reprimanded unwillingly, "My fellow boys, we are not strong enough…"

Before he managed to exclaim fully, Tu Mi grabbed a handful of him. The fat woman seemed to have known that this would happen. There was not too much panic and rage that could be seen in her expression. She chuckled and spoke, "Taoist master, we can't guard the exit anymore. Let's fall back then! Once we have arrived at the depth of the place of the outer fringe, we shall deal with this group of bastards once again!"

As she was saying that, Tu Mi whistled. The World Sect's master cultivators rapidly gathered forward, and joined the Qilian disciples. They picked Wen Leyang and Chi Maojiu up, who were still sound asleep, while they waved about their treasured weapons to ward off other cultivators. They then ran towards the depth of the place of the outer fringe.

The moment the monsters dashed into the place, they transformed from the monstrous waves into a dozen mighty torrents that spread out towards all directions. When the mighty torrents passed through flesh, resulting in blood spurting haphazardly, the agonizing cries of the cultivators before they met death, shook through the entire sky!

All the master cultivators who were gathered in the place of the outer fringe, with a large number and manpower of thousands of men, had occupied the topographical advantage. However, before the Shiwan Mountain's monsters, they only managed to withstand four days…

At the same time, the place of the outer fringe's entrance fell. Nine Peaks Mountain's Wen family village too suddenly turned chaotic. There were four people who stumbled and fell all the way; they ran up to the mountain from the foothill in a disheveled manner. The first words of the person who was dashing at the front upon entering the village was, "I cultivate in The Thousand Miles Of River with the Moon Over Cloudless in the Clear Sky Clear Mind and Clear Heart Divine-Destroying Art Of Sword. It has its own wonder…"

After the place of the outer fringe vanished, Zhui Zi, who was tracking Red Pot, rushed back to the Nine Peaks Mountain. She was assuming personal command in the village at this moment.

Recently, Qinling Mountains, Crow Ridge and Seven Maidens Mountain were attacked at almost the same time. These three occurrences were all caused by the magic formations created using the treasured weapons owned by the 'evil soul version' of Red Pot. The three magic formations were launched simultaneously. Zhui Zi could not cope all by herself, and in the end, she only managed to prevent the disaster of perishing, that would befall the two families of Miao and Luo.

While Red Pot too seized the opportunity to escape during the chaos, it managed to rid itself of Zhui Zi's tracking.

Those two families' master cultivators who came rushing over as reinforcement, had all returned to their sects by now.

Zhui Zi left the house in a flash. Her expression carried some surprise in the midst of panic. She shouted sternly, "Where's Wen Leyang?"

Nineteen kept her words as promised. She released the four persons Ji Fei, Shui Jing, the child and the blind man back to the Nine Peaks Mountain, but she would never have expected that although the old monk's cultivation base was shallow, his cultivation method had its wonders. It was not difficult to kill him, but the attempt to erase his memories was impossible in the hands of Kong Nuer!

Since the old monk did not lose his memories, the secret from the place of the outer fringe could not be hidden from the people of Nine Peaks Mountain anymore.

Zhui Zi inquired until she could understand what had happened. She then asked the old monk immediately, "Do you know which part of Shiwan Mountain they are at?"

The five-element demon aside, those descendants of the heaven's cone nails could have very much been top sword immortals. If they were to intentionally hide their tracks, anyone would find it difficult to locate them in the middle of a vast mountain. Nineteen was extremely meticulous in managing her tasks, and by the time Ji Fei and the rest had woken up, they were arranged in a row as they lay in a guesthouse of Shanghai. Even so, the old monk retained his memories. It was no easy task to find the descendants of the heaven's cone nails' stronghold in Shiwan Mountain either.

Meanwhile the fat monk sniggered, "The monk cultivates in the Musical Divine Lotus Sect Suit of Armor…" Before he could finish the last part of his sentence, he was frozen by Zhui Zi's gaze.

The old monk, Ji Fei, hastily interrupted, "The fat monk's cultivation method has a rare art of spirit-searching. Once it is launched, no cultivator is capable of hiding from it!"

The moment the fat monk Shui Jing left the place of the outer fringe, he took the risk to feign a struggle and exploded his Buddhist prayer bead. He then launched the supernatural power of spirit-searching. As long as he returned to the Shiwan Mountain, he would be able to locate the enemy's hiding ground.

The two monks explained the incident by continuing each other's sentences. First Uncle Wen Tunhai brought along Wen Nine and Wen Thirteen as they walked over, "We shall go together!"

Wen Nine and Wen Thirteen too found out that little Taiyang was bullied by someone out there. The silly uncles were not intelligent, yet their words of 'Whoever dares to bully our Taiyang (Sun), will be beaten by me until his intestines come out!" Back in those days, they still remembered it all along.

Zhui Zi smiled gracefully. She did not reject them; they immediately departed…

On Mount Putuo's Buddha Peak, Mumu was scared out of her wits. She guided her zombie as she followed Chang Li to search for clues about the place of the outer fringe without a purpose, when her cell phone suddenly rang. A moment later, Mumu was both surprised and joyous. She exclaimed to Chang Li in a trembling voice, "They have found Wen Leyang's whereabouts!"

In the Qinling Mountains' dragon vein Yin's eye, the color of Hanba Fifth Brother's face was dimmed and malevolent. He had been spending the past one month clearing the ruins. The mountain was changing under the huge earthquake's influence, while the corpse-forming land was naturally destroyed into nothingness. Apart from that, there was one more matter that worried him – the demon figurines that he stored in the house had all disappeared without a trace! Little Five was pondering over how to console her father's rage, when Hanba gave out a 'huh'. He turned over his hand and brandished the wooden bell that was used by the few demon immortals to transmit messages. He placed it next to his ear and listened carefully before lifting Little Five at one go, "We're leaving!"

Over a thousand Kunlun Sect's disciples had completely received the embodiment of true water. They had just returned to the Yuxu Palace from the highland earlier, and were bustling about and cleaning the palace, when the voice of little supreme leader, Liu Zheng, echoed from the audience hall, "The Qing-named generation disciples are to stay behind and guard the sect, while the rest of the disciples are to follow me to set out on a journey…"

On Eyangshan Mountain, it was unknown why the little fat boy, Ah Dan, was having a temper tantrum. Throughout the whole day, the disciples outside could hear Ah Dan crying and making a fuss in the supreme leader's room. Their conversation also echoed from the room instinctively.

San Wei's voice was filled with helplessness, "Why did I formally acknowledge you as my disciple!?"

Ah Dan muttered as he sobbed, "I'm the god level body, while you are the split body… I'll risk my life to fight you if you don't follow me to save them…"

In the Temple of Great Mercy, the little stuttering Hope Voice raised the cellphone in his hand. He was panic-stricken as he dashed into the abbot's meditation room, "Wen… Wen, Leyang… place of the outer fringe, place of the outer fringe!"

On the highland, the head lama Rangjung inhaled a deep breath, before blowing the bone flute unexpectedly…

Every single one of World Sect's master cultivators had received the Rainbow's oracle. They set out for the journey within a night…

The siblings, Pig Cat Red Army were sitting together. Their conversation was about the recent mystery of the cultivation world revolving around the hottest topic, 'Disappearance of the Place of the Outer Fringe'. Red Grandaunt received a text message; she read it three times and suddenly jumped up – even her wrinkles were flooded with excitement, "A thrilling show! A thrilling show!" Her fingers were akin to flying, as she immediately forwarded the message in a large batch…

Xiao Sha was addicted to the game of Happy Farm recently, and was stealing vegetables all day long to the point of dizziness. When he was strolling in Fei Fei's farm on this day, Old Gu suddenly walked into his office and asked in exasperation, "What's going on? The Mountain Sect and World Sect, the rogue cultivators and obscure cultivators, the fat monk and old monk are all heading towards the southwest. What are they doing there?"

Xiao Sha took out the map in a great bustle and searched towards the southwest direction for a long while. In the end, he spoke softly, "Shiwan… Mountain?"

Shiwan Mountain!

Some were there because of their close connection to the Wen family, while the rest were there because their disciples too disappeared in the place of the outer fringe. Others were there to join the fun, while the rest were trying to take advantage of the situation. Regardless, the cultivators of the worlds were already moving after receiving the news this time! The scale of this event was unprecedented since the ancient times; it was stronger by many times as compared to Mount Hua's meeting four years ago…

The descendants of the heaven's cone nails who were in charge of guarding the peripheral area too discovered unusual movements; they continuously transmitted the information back to the five-element demon and the descendants of the heaven's cone nail.

The three people, Shudou, Sir Rust and Hot Immortal Aunt were almost beaten to death by Wen Leyang earlier, and were recuperating after they consumed the Centipede Grass. They were utterly unaware of the situation that was taking place outside. Nineteen was slightly restless. Even though she did not understand what was happening, she could make a wild guess, that the matter was stirring up such a big trouble. She was afraid that this was related to her releasing Ji Fei and Shui Jing on her own accord.

Ever since the five-element demon appeared, he had been acting innocent, but when he was executing Kong Nuer's order, he was very loyal. Occasionally, when he made a display of his skills, he could only be described as startling the world, despite being not fully awake. However, his reaction was always slower than the others. His mentality was child-like; he would frequently perform pranks that render the sword immortals at a loss of whether to cry or to laugh.

After the demon received the news, not only was he not shocked or panicked, he was rather joyous. He said to Nineteen with a smile, "What's the point of worrying? There are too little cultivators here. The best thing is for every single person in the entire world, including cows and horses, bugs and birds, to come looking for us. Only then, it will be fun… Anyhow, they will not be able to find us!" As he was saying that, he covered his mouth and laughed.

Nineteen's face was plastered with a feigned smile. She shook her head and spoke, "It's naturally the best if they fail at finding us, but in case they do, it will be troublesome!"

The demon pondered for a long while, before looking towards Full Moon absent-mindedly, "Why would it be troublesome?"

Nineteen and the rest of the three inferiors had almost never left the demon by so much as half an inch, for the past four years. They had since grown used to his seemingly wild behavior, "Amongst these people, there are a few demon immortals with a cultivation base that triumphs over us. Liu Zheng and San Wei's split body are sword immortals too. There are also the few prominent and outstanding Tuo Xie's disciples…"

Full Moon was also pouting his lips from the side, "Let alone a few top cultivators, even if those small characters were to truly look for us in an attempt to fight, we are no match for them too!"

The demon was even more puzzled. He stretched out his metal element fingers and scratched noisily against his wood element head. Every scratch had cut into five streaks of grotesque wounds, but soon after, his skin healed in a very obvious manner, "Why are they looking for all of you for a fight?"

Full Moon scoffed, "They aren't only looking for us, they're also looking for you to fight against!"

The few descendants of moon cone nail explained for a long while, before the demon finally understood that the countless cultivators who were coming to Shiwan Mountain were not here to play hide-and-seek with him. At least half of them were here to fight him.

The five-element demon's face was finally filled with rage, "How many of their people have I killed?"

Nineteen was slightly more intelligent than her other three brothers. She helped to decipher the demon's words, "I'll kill them! How many of their people are there?"

Full Moon was at a loss of whether to cry or laugh, "You do know how to simplify the matter well! There are so many of them that they're almost innumerable. They also cannot be killed off completely…"

The demon suddenly laughed. He was joyous and also proud, "What are you afraid of? If the worse comes to worst, we shall burrow into the place of the outer fringe, and see who amongst them dares to enter!" Upon saying that, he added, "Anyhow, I'm going to burrow into the place sooner or later!"

The four descendants of moon cone nail were startled. Full Moon's fat face was laden with shock, "Why do you want to burrow into the place?"

Chapter 310: The Brothers

The five-element demon's eyes were filled with helplessness as he looked at Full Moon. It was as if Full Moon's question seemed a little excessive, "I'm burrowing into the place, to obviously save the esteemed master teacher. It has been arranged as such in the oracle!"

Full Moon raised his brows and leaned his big, fat body closer to the demon. He then inquired closely with a curious expression, "Let's not talk about the oracle first. What do you mean when you say that you're going to burrow into the place of the outer fringe?"

The five-element demon was not in a rush to answer that question. On the contrary, he asked Full Moon, "What is actually the place of the outer fringe?"

Full Moon was a descendant of a famous sect after all. His knowledge was naturally extraordinary. He nodded as he laughed, "Even though the place of the outer fringe is born out of the heaven and earth, it's an area of its own! In simpler words, it's a stretch of little sky and land that stands independently in between the sky and land!"

The five-element demon nodded. A child-like pride appeared on his face, as if showing off his knowledge, "Then, do all of you know that this stretch of Rely on the Fate of Ishvara, the Land of Caturapramanah, is actually opened up by the Buddhism Sect's mighty power? Rely on the Fate, Ishvara, Caturapramanah, are all referring to the barge of mercy ferries. Amongst all the miserable people to the sky and land of bliss, that is the heart of mercy."

The few of the descendants of moon cone nail were aware that the demon's mentality was not fully developed. They hastily responded in a way as though receiving a lesson; they nodded in unison.

"Each of the monsters from Shiwan Mountain, are the embodiment of ferocity and cruelty! They only know how to kill, and apart from that, they will still kill more people after already killing many upon arriving at the place of the outer fringe!" The five-element demon stretched out his finger and pointed to the monsters that were howling bitterly far away, that had formed into groups before vanishing at the entrance of the place of the outer fringe, "The embodiment of ferocity and cruelty is supposedly dignified with malevolent energy. The act of killing people and getting killed will result in the malevolent energy in the place of the outer fringe growing heavier and heavier, until a point where it becomes thicker than the place of the outer fringe is able to withstand…"

At this point, the five-element demon suddenly looked to the left and right. He lowered his voice in an intentionally feigned mystery and reminded them patiently, "A little sky and land, the power of mercy, and an extremely malevolent energy… what will happen by then?"

It was still Nineteen who possessed meticulous thinking. After she pondered for a while, she could not refrain herself from screaming out in surprise, "Kong… the immortal master is going to draw in this stretch of little sky and land's… uncountable time/endless punishment!"

The place of the outer fringe was a land of mercy. When the malevolent energy exceeded a certain level, the power of mercy would then counter react, and resisted the malevolence with everything in it into nothingness. Whether it was the Buddhism sect, or a profound orthodox sect, despite their difference in theories, it was still a process of understanding the heaven's path. When everything had reached its extreme limit and ending, the heaven's path would then send down the Endless Great Punishment, and destroy everything.

Rely on the Fate of Ishvara, the Land of Caturapramanah was supposed to be a little sky and land that was its own area. Kong Nuer's arrangement this time was precisely to trigger the endless great punishment in the place of the outer fringe.

The five-element demon sniggered, "That is correct. Our four years' worth of laborious efforts was for the endless punishment in the place of the outer fringe. When the punishment happens, I shall burrow into the place of the outer fringe and transfer the power of endless punishment to the esteemed master teacher. The esteemed master teacher is in an extremely great disaster at this point; he can only break free from the suffering with this gush of force."

Triggering the endless punishment, he transferred the power to Kong Nuer.

Nineteen was dizzy and confused upon hearing that; she was unaware about the plan for Kong Nuer's three magic formations in the past. Her mind had already turned into a chaotic mess now and she could not help but to inquire closely, "How do I transfer the power? What do you mean by suffering?"

The five-element demon shook his head, "I don't know either. It's only mentioned in the oracle that when the punishment happens in the place of the outer fringe, I am to enter the place before all is done. He also comforts me; that I do not need to be afraid. Even though the punishment may seem dangerous, in reality it is very safe for me."

Full Moon gave a forced laugh as he shook his head. He asked the five-element demon, "So how are you going to enter the place of the outer fringe? Are you going to follow the monsters to run into the place together?"

The five-element demon was elated and shook his head strenuously, "Of course not." As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed to a complicated but not-too-enormous formation chart nearby that was already carved and engraved to completion, but had yet to be launched. "Sir Rust, Shudou, Hot Immortal Aunt and I are going to launch this magic formation together and send me into the place with the magic formation."

Meanwhile, the five-element demon who had been innocent all along suddenly put a serious face on, He explained to Nineteen and the rest earnestly, "Anymore of the people who are coming here to create trouble, are only seeking for doom upon entering the huge mountain. I'm not that worried about that, but I will still need to depend on the four of you to protect me."

The four descendants of the moon cone nail nodded together to the five-element demon, "The descendants of the moon cone nail will certainly ensure that you are safe and sound…"

Unexpectedly, the five-element demon shook his head while he laughed, "You're not going to protect me, but protect him!" As he was saying that, he stretched out his hand and patted the ground. At the sound of a fizz, a big-headed short man, burrowed out of the soil without a sign.

The big-headed short man's complexion was yellowish brown. There was a small drum and a small gong tied to his waist, his entire body was naked, and he was only wrapped in a dirty rag with indistinguishable color.

The five-element demon burst out laughing. He pointed to the short man and introduced him to the descendants of moon cone nail, "He is Xiao Er from Shiwan Mountain! He once received the great kindness of the esteemed master teacher in the early years, so he's invited by the master teacher to assist in the fight this time! I thought that no one was going to create trouble initially and there is no need to trouble him, but judging from the situation right now… heh, all of you will need to protect him well. There is no need to interfere with the rest of the matters!"

The big-headed short man cracked into a smile to Nineteen and the rest. He gave a shy smile, as he spoke with a fine voice and soft tone, "Thank you for the few divine immortals' trouble."

The descendants of the moon cone nail entered the huge mountain for four years. This was the first time they met the big-headed short man. There was not too much vibration of spiritual vitality in the short man's body. His meagre amount of cultivation base was unworthy of mention according to the descendants of moon cone nail, but since he was a mountain elf who was capable of burrowing and moving in the soil unknowingly, his ability was not considered remarkable.

Full Moon's face was all curious; he sized the short man up and down as he laughed, "So, you are capable of dealing with the enemies that are here to create troubles outside?"

The short man nodded in all apparent seriousness, "Other than the few of you, I will kill anyone who tries to enter!"

Nineteen and her three siblings stood gazing at one another; they were at a loss of words…

On the outside of the huge mountain, the cultivators of the world were arriving and gathering from all directions.

On the inside of the huge mountain, the five-element demon was confident with a preconceived idea in his heart. The big-headed short man acted courteously, while the descendants of the moon cone nail were baffled. Sir Rust, Shudou and Hot Immortal Aunt were still recuperating. Meanwhile, their group of inferiors were standing all around and waiting without any expression on their faces.

On the inside of the place of the outer fringe, monsters were wreaking havoc. Bloody slaughter was happening everywhere, while the shine and radiance of treasured weapons and supernatural powers were mixed with agonizing screams that covered the sky. Amidst thick blood and crushed flesh, the crystal clear sky had since turned into the color of a hideous dimmed yellow.

While outside of the East China Sea, a lone island that was regarded as the prohibited land in the eyes of the mortal people, had dark clouds gathering over its sky, while wind and thunder were rolling together… it was the Black and White Island!

The toad Red Pot that had already transformed into the size of a giant tower, was stretching out its limbs, with its stomach tightly laid on the surface of the ground. It laid in front of Xiang Liu, with its mouth opened widely.

Countless enormous talismans were blowing in the wind and spinning around Red Pot in circles. Some talismans were as red as blood; they were written with forceful and sonorous strokes that penetrated through the heaven and earth. Some were murky and dark, and no matter how hard one looked at it, one could not distinguish its pattern at all. It was akin to a mere stretch of a blurry mess all along.

Three of Xiang Liu's heads had already regained some mobility. Its initially slightly bald snake skin was already covered in gigantic scales. The scales were blooming with a faint glow under the reflection of the remnant sun. Every time the scales swayed, it would flutter with a thousand streaks of brilliance that appeared bitter-cold, yet ruthless and tyrannical, as if it was the world-annihilating divine radiance that erupted in the eyes of God!

At this moment, the three heads' movements could only be described as gentle. The heads were coiling at one another, wriggling and heaving soundlessly. The enormous snake tongues were exceedingly light; it licked past Red Pot's body in an affectionate manner, as gentle as a maiden's hair.

Within the six snake's eyes that was supposedly cold, sinister and emotionless, pity and longingness flowed out. The eyes did not even blink once, as it stared at Red Pot's eyes that were filled with agony.

Red Pot's cheeks were puffing up and down; it was panting strenuously. In between puffs, it moaned like a broken bellow. An unknown period of time had passed, before the toad finally erupted into a croak.

The sound of a frog's croak startled the heaven and moved the earth! A circle of airwaves that was visible to the naked eye, followed the sound of that croak. It rolled up and surrounded Red Pot, before rolling down in all directions and scattered out of the lone island in the blink of an eye. The surrounding seawater suddenly set off heaven-shocking big waves that moaned in rage, as it diffused towards the far side!

The murky yet disastrous big waves, was akin to being pushed by an invisible giant hand. It receded wildly, until it disappeared at the edge of one's sight. When seen from a bird's eye view, the surface of the sea within five hundred kilometers' circumference had already turned into a funnel-like huge pit!

Within the heaven-shocking and earth-moving frog's croak, a demon figurine with a pair of wings on its back, with four arms and two legs, which was almost the size of an adult man, suddenly spurted out from Red Pot's stomach. The demon figurine rolled all the way and finally at the sound of a thud, it was crushed against the hard reef. The fine porcelain was splashing everywhere, and a demon that had the exact same appearance as the demon figurine suddenly revealed itself!

The double-winged and four-armed demon's expression was in a trance. Its gaze was murky; it seemed to be completely unaware of what just happened. It looked to the left, right and everywhere else for a moment, before it finally saw Red Pot with its mouth still widened.

The demon was hesitant. It knelt on the ground and saluted Red Pot. Its voice sounded beyond dry, occasionally sharp; hoarse at times, "I present myself before my master. I am waiting to serve my master!"

Red Pot did not acknowledge the demon but suddenly croaked again. The second demon figurine was spurted out and crushed, with its entire body fiery-red. Its body was short and small, whie its face was trembling continuously, as if having a muscle cramp. It was dragging a pointy tail behind its back, and similar to the four-armed demon, it knelt on the ground awaiting to serve Red Pot as its master.

Red Pot's croak sounded more and more rushed. The seawater that surrounded the Black and White Island was akin to a pot of boiling water. One after another, demon figurines were being spat out and crushed continuously. Each of those demons looked exactly the same as the demon figurines that revealed themselves and knelt on the ground…

Red Pot used the immortal vessels that it collected in the past to blast the Yin's eye of Qinling Mountain until it collapsed. Simultaneously, it stole away all of Hanba Fifth Brother's demon figurines. After it snuck back to the Black and White Island with the assistance of the three Xiang Liu's heads of fire element, sun element and moon element, it launched the most ancient Art of Devilry, and turned one demon figurine after another into the great demons they were in life.

However, the demonic primordial energy that was sealed by Hanba in the demon figurines, had already been corroded by malevolent energy earlier. Even though the demons were resurrected right now, its actual power had deteriorated a lot as compared to before. Moreover, its spiritual intelligence was already damaged. The demons turned into demon-bodied puppets that were capable of following instructions, yet unable to think for themselves!

One thousand and thirty-four demon figurines and evil demons were all the family properties that belonged to Hanba Fifth Brother…

It was until after silence returned to the sky and sea once again, that Red Pot turned back into the size of a fist. Its initial pitch-black gaze was already misted with a layer of gloomy darkness. It panted for a moment, then it lifted its body with great effort. It shouted an order towards almost a thousand demons that were kneeling before its body, "Crush the rest of the few heaven's cone nails!"

Within the sound of responding promises, the vigorous demonic energy surged skywards. With streaks upon streaks of shadows as swift as electricity, the Black and White Island once again erupted in a chain of loud noises. It did not take long before seven loud and clear, ghastly, sinister, and aggressive strange howls overlapped together. It sounded like a knife coated with thick fresh blood, that pierced towards and mangled through the sky from the Black and White Island. The seawater was akin to a boiling pot of water. One after another, enormous sea beasts' corpses floated from the deep sea in layers. The ghastly-pale color of white paved all the way to the edge of the sky.

The nine-headed monster, Xiang Liu, that had been suppressed for millenniums and megaannums, that lost two of its evil souls and supreme commander true soul, finally struggled free from its shackles!

Red Pot that had never shown any emotions, but a gush of delight that was even stronger, merrier and faster than the eruption of a volcano, arose on its face at this moment! When this delight, enough to shake the heaven and earth bloomed and erupted on its face, the sound from its throat was a bitter wail that sounded as if it was oppressed for a million years!

Every single syllable was utterly meaningless, yet accompanied by a portion of intense remorse and hatred!

Two thousand years ago, I was stubborn, eccentric and unreasonable. I caused the death of my brother who had been protecting me, taking care of me, laughing at me when he was happy, yet refusing to scold me when he was angry from the day the heaven and earth was born!

In two thousand years, I encountered life and death situations on a few occasions. Millions and millions of years ago, I once looked down scornfully at the entire world. I acted wild and cared for no one. When I met my misfortune and experienced suffering that lasted through every second and every minute, there was no way out, yet I could not die either!

Two thousand years later, the nine-headed Xiang Liu saw the light of the day once again. The seven heads were still rippling with the shimmer of heaven's prestige like before, yet this glory that was capable of collapsing the heaven, sinking the land, and annihilating the world, was still able to seize everyone's tears! Nonetheless, it could never change into the smile that I wanted to see most!

The person who loved me, died because of me, and the person who harmed me, was enjoying all the pride in between the heaven and earth. The irrelevant people, witnessed as I was frustrated, broken-down, and trapped in between life and death, yet they were clapping and laughing joyously!

Red Pot bawled and cried out loud!

Xiang Liu's seven heads too, bawled and cried just as loud!

Red Pot dried its tears only when their cries drew in a storm. It crawled strenuously, while it walked past the front of the giant snake's heads that were stretching towards it with great effort. They were afraid that it would walk one step further, and every time it passed by a head, it would stop for a moment and rub its cheek against its brothers' intimately. A warm delight flashed across the primitive monster's faces. This was their favorite game when they were young. In the world and in between the heaven and earth, which one of our ten brothers was the loneliest one? And which one was the least lonely one?

When it walked past that water element head with its eyes shut tight, it could not budge. Red Pot lingered on for the longest time, before raising its head in the end and chuckled to the few heads as it spoke, "I am going to avenge him, but I'm not bringing any of you along!" Upon saying that, it croaked strangely for a few times. A thousand demons surrounded it, and a giant bird that was dripping with thick flames all over its body kept Red Pot gently in its mouth. Soon after, the giant bird gave out an indistinct cry, and in between its flapping wings, it brought along the large group of demons as it surged out of the Black and White Island in the blink of an eye!

Xiang Liu was shocked; each of them squalled once. Its gigantic body leaped up suddenly, yet unexpectedly, it started trembling in midair. It then tumbled back onto the lone island on a spectacular scale. It had only struggled free, when the snake's necks and heads were capable of moving unhindered, yet its gigantic body and snake tail had almost no sensation. After millenniums and megaanums of struggle, they had exhausted too much of their strength. Despite being a monster that came from the chaotic world in prehistoric times, it was utterly weak and feeble. The most awful part was losing the true soul's command. The existing seven brothers were now too clumsy and lacked practice in their teamwork, as compared to how well-versed they were before.

Even though they broke free, it was still difficult for them to move in a short while.

Amongst the seven heads, someone was cursing and scolding the water element evil soul for making a rash decision instead of consulting the others first. Someone was shedding bitter tears soundlessly once again; crying for the Third Brother's inability to let go of his guilt for killing First Brother. After saving the rest of his brothers, he no longer had the decency to face them anymore, and bid his farewell from then on. Regardless of whether he lived or died, he would never meet the rest of his brothers anymore!

Chapter 311: Fighting Against All Odds

Tu Mi who was always smiling and hardly wore her heart on her sleeve was now left with half a face.

Not long ago, they were surrounded by a large group of monsters. They were slightly careless when they broke through. Something that looked like a racoon pounced in front of Tu Mi and slashed at her. With just one slash, Tu Mi, who was as powerful as a Five-Blessing elite had half of her face torn off. If it were not for the dwarf Taoist priest who controlled his flying sword to kill that little monster, Tu Mi who was dying of pain might not have even managed to protect the other half of her face.

The World Sect's good hands who followed her were less than a hundred people. Almost half of the Qilian disciples led by the dwarf Taoist priest had died. They supported the group on the right flank…

The monsters from Shiwan Mountains had attacked them here five days ago. The cultivators within the place of the outer fringe started to fight for themselves, or rather, run for their lives.

In terms of their cultivation base, Tu Mi and the dwarf Taoist priest were undoubtedly one of the stronger ones in the place of the outer fringe. Ever since they broke the city, they had joined forces. They protected Wen Leyang and Chi Maojiu as they slowly retreated backwards. Along the way, countless cultivators joined their ranks, while many had died. In the end, the ones left were their own people…

There were monsters and solo-fighting cultivators everywhere. There was dirty blood and shreds of corpses everywhere…

Of course, Tu Mi and the others were not relentless in their killings. If that were so, even if they had three times as many men, they would have all perished by now. If it were to be precisely counted, they only fought three real battles with the monsters throughout the last five days. Most of the time, they relied on the World Sect's methods to hide and sneak around. All they did was retreat and run, whilst carefully avoiding the monsters.

The World Sect had been ceaselessly hunted by the Five Blessings for a thousand years. The cultivation bases of the sects that were passed on might not be too profound, but they were well-versed in guerilla warfare. From this alone, the Qilian disciples also basked in the glory of the World Sect. However, the dwarf Taoist priest returned the favor with a favor. He did not abandon the World Sect when they were surrounded by monsters.

Tu Mi who charged out from the barricade had led her subordinates and the Qilian disciples to hide among a pile of ruins. She finally found time to whip out a pill to chew on. However, the pill rolled and slipped out from her open jaw. A World Sect skinny little man who followed her had wanted to laugh but did not have the courage to. He quickly picked up the pill and tossed it into his own mouth, disregarding how unhygienic doing so was. After he chewed on it haphazardly, he spat it out and carefully applied it onto Tu Mi's wounds.

Tu Mi was still in the mood to chuckle and say, "When we get out, I'll promote you to a great overlord! You'll be in charge of Shanxi in the future!"

The skinny little man was shocked. He then answered with a face full of tears, "Responding to the great master Tu Mi, I am the great overlord, in charge of Shanxi…"

The others around them tried hard to stifle their laughter. The people of the World Sect were afraid of death, but before they faced their impending doom, they would certainly maximise every opportunity they had to laugh!

Soon after, a few figures that resembled ghosts floated into the ruins. They reported to Tu Mi like an overflowing tap.

"A large group of monsters are coming head-on from the west!"

"So as the south."

"A huge gully has appeared in the east due to the earthquake. With our current situation, at least half of us won't be able to make it."

"The monsters in the north had killed off a band of cultivators just now and had dispersed…"

The man who returned last from the recon mission had yet to finish when he was slapped by Tu Mi. She chuckled as she scolded, "F*ck you! Next time, be the first to speak!"

The group of people walked precariously with footsteps more nimble than a leopard's, but faster than falcons. They went out of the ruins in a single file and moved towards the north. The few World Sect disciples who brought up the rear had scattered medicinal powder onto themselves to carefully diminish their scent. They then moved on to follow their comrades.

Soon after, a slaughterhouse appeared in front of everyone. The thick blood on the ground flowed; it was as thick as a finger. Severed limbs, minced flesh, broken eyeballs, shattered teeth, dull magic weapons, and blood-stained talisman scripts soon took over…

Footprints of all shapes and sizes emanated from the pool of blood. It grew fainter and fainter until they eventually disappeared.

Tu Mi chuckled as she reminded everyone, "Be careful not to slip…" Her voice barely faded when a series of crackling, breaking sounds erupted from below their feet. A giant monster, clad in rock armor the size of a five-story building, suddenly shattered the ground and leapt out. It waved its fist, the size of a small house, and heavily crushed it towards them.

Tu Mi squalled. She made a seal with her hands and a puff of greenish black light shone. It met the giant monster's fist. With a muffled bang, the big fat man spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. He squalled and turned into a rolling gourd as he fell sideways. However, the subordinates that gathered beside her, who did not react in time, had still managed to save themselves from being completely annihilated.

The World Sect disciples immediately shouted with rage. More than a hundred magic weapons flew high and low. They mercilessly flew towards the giant monster and attacked it!

The men of the Qilian Immortal Sects who had been protecting the flank of the World Sect disciples stayed silent. Under the dwarf Taoist priest's leadership, they directed the scarlet sword formation and slashed the monster that blocked their way…

Muffled bangs intertwined; bold and loud. The anonymous monster lacked powerful magic art, but its rock armor was harder than everyone had imagined. Even with the hundred magic weapons' attacks, its body only shook slightly. Other than being slightly bothered by the Qilian sword formation, it did not even dodge the other magic weapons. Its two giant fists danced in the wind as it rained down haphazardly on the colony of ants at its feet!

No one knew whether it was intentional or a pure coincidence that the position of the giant monster was right where their escape route was. The surrounding terrain were giant pits and large rifts created by the earthquake. They could neither pass through it nor take a detour.

The dwarf Taoist priest was ghastly pale, and spouted curse after curse as he leapt out. Under the cover of the scarlet chain and sky-covering magic weapons, hand signs, talisman spells and spell gestures were intertwined together. Five fire divine thunder was ceaselessly rocked up as he wanted to topple this tiger in his way!

The giant monster was bruised and battered. Its howling squalls, which could not be ascertained if they were an angry howl or a wail, seemed to have taken root in the ground. It would not take even half a step back no matter what. At this moment, the disciples that brought up the rear staggered up to the group. They shouted anxiously, "The monsters behind us are catching up!"

Tu Mi was finally flustered; she squalled and cried. She tried to crawl but she kept slipping around the slippery blood plasma. Her head and face was covered in bloodstains. She pointed at the giant monster who blocked the way and shouted shrilly, "Remove it!"

In the blink of an eye, piercing sounds of yells shocked the skies!

Every cultivator was mad with rage. They urged their entire life vitality without reservations and desperately waved their magic weapons as they charged towards the giant monster. Amidst muffled bangs, the magic weapons destroyed in the clash were innumerable. The World Sect disciples who lost their magic weapons ignored their grave injuries. They howled angrily like wild wolves. With only their bodies, they charged towards the monster which remained unharmed, even by magic weapons!

If they died, great master Tu might still live. If great master Tu died, everyone would die as well! Five Blessings of the right cultivation path and the cultivators under the heavens had long regarded the World Sect as merciless evil beasts. However, this loyalty grew from experiencing life and death situations for a thousand years and staying strong protecting each other for generations. Even if it were tossed to the ends of the world, it could still turn a dark cloud, white!

A huge group of monsters behind them gathered into a black mass. Thundering footsteps almost churned the earth. The scattered severed limbs and minced flesh jumped ceaselessly due to the vibrations. Maybe in no time, these top-most elite cultivators in the place of the outer fringe would be surrounded by the monsters and butchered until none were left.

Tu Mi did not even need to look back. The wanton life-risking vanguard of the sons before her already made her eyes bulge. The fat woman finally stood up with the support of her subordinates. She howled madly at the dwarf Taoist priest, "I'll leave the sons to you!" After she said that, the bones in her body crackled like firecrackers. Tu Mi then strenuously squeezed out from the depths of her chest and lungs, "The devil's dismantlement!"

The devil's dismantlement was akin to the demonic 'Demon Body Breaking Spell'. It was the final straw – a strike used by the evil cult's elites by damaging their own bodies in exchange for life vitality when they were powerless to act! After it was activated, at best, they would be gravely injured, at best. In the worst case scenario, they would be completely destroyed.

With a 'pa', Tu Mi's back quickly split open, as if she was whipped by an unseen divine whip. Under the mist of blood which sprayed forth, Tu Mi fumed like an extremely angry mother duck. She leapt high into the air and collided with the giant monster!

Tu Mi had the resolve to die. She only hoped that the power obtained by offering her mashed body and broken bones would be enough to shatter this monster in front of them, which was as sizable as a large mountain!

At this instant, a shrill howl rose behind her. A figure resembling an angered leopard enveloped in a rage that no ordinary person could comprehend, shot past Tu Mi with a flash. It struck mercilessly on the giant monster's chest! In the eyes of the hundred or so cultivators who survived, time seemed to have frozen over with just one punch…

The rock-armored monster which had been brandishing its fangs and claws, which seemed to appear unfazed, suddenly froze in its actions. One of its giant fists was half-raised in the air, while the other had just struck the ground. A strange gleam shone in its ferocious giant eyes. At an instant, the gleam blazed, and with two bangs, the monster's eyeballs erupted.

Then, mottled cracks appeared without so much as a warning sign. They covered the entire body of the monster in no time. With no time to let out a wail, the giant monster turned into a mash of sticky, blood-covered flesh. It piled up on the ground with a crash.

It was then that everyone else present understood what had happened. They cheered almost hysterically!

Wen Leyang woke up.

When Wen Leyang woke up, he did not even know what had happened. When he saw that Tu Mi was about to die crashing into the monster, he immediately pounced. His strike with the full force of his poison could not even be withstood by the peerless demon immortals, let alone the dumb thing before him. However, after he killed the monster, two words rose within his heart – Save. Them….

Wen Leyang's body turned in midair. As dexterous as a swallow, he supported the big fat woman, Tu Mi, who was large enough to fit both of his wives, before dropping silently to the ground.

At the same time, a muffled shout which still carried a sense of sleepiness came from among the cultivators. Then, hundreds of fire falcons danced in the air, while innumerable giant black vines burst out of the ground. Blood then sprayed everywhere, which even blanketed the skies. Shrill wails filled the space. Little Chi Maojiu was then awakened. The first thing he did after opening his eyes was to activate his Witchcraft to kill the monsters that came from behind!

Wen Leyang was overjoyed. He still carried Tu Mi as he leapt up to little Chi Maojiu, "Are you awake?"

Chi Maojiu was quite helpless when asked this question. He replied, "You're awake as well?"

Wen Leyang chuckled and tried to activate his Poison of Life and Death. The centipede grass was true to its name. The wounds all over his body had completely healed and his Art of Poison was also restored. However, Ning Jiao's armor was already shattered, Ning Jiao's sting was still broken in two, but Bony Ning Jiao was nowhere to be seen…

The immortal grass' effect was only meant to affect people, but not save treasures. Although this set of Ning Jiao magic weapons grew with him, they still needed some time to rest within his body to recuperate, lest he would not be able to use it in the near future.

Chi Maojiu's powers were not as powerful as Wen Leyang's. Although he ate the centipede grass after Wen Leyang did, they both woke up at the same time.

The disaster before their eyes was temporarily averted. Tu Mi escaped from death with great calamity. Her half face gave an ugly smile, "The two of you… did that on purpose right? If you guys were a few seconds faster, I wouldn't have to use the devil's dismantlement."

Wen Leyang chuckled, "Close-ranged attacks. I woke up just in time. Or else, if I was a moment slower, you wouldn't be able to use the devil's dismantlement ever again."

The dwarf Taoist priest also looked happy. At the edge of life and death, two peerless elites had been added to their ranks. The Taoist priest's heart bloomed with happiness. He quickly walked up to them and stared at Chi Maojiu with a smile, "Wen Leyang, you're finally awake!"

Chi Maojiu rubbed his hands and diverted the topic, "Qilian immortal master and the World Sect brothers are special guests of Seven Maidens Mountain in the future! Amongst the two of you… whose wounds are more serious?"

The dwarf Taoist priest's gaze shifted quickly and he looked at Wen Leyang. He replied Chi Maojiu with a snort, "Although the monster was powerful, this poor priest's cultivation base could still have handled it. Grand master might be injured quite badly though!"

Chi Maojiu nodded. He took out the final blade of centipede grass from his woven sack without hesitation. He carefully fed it to Tu Mi. Regret arose on the dwarf Taoist priest's old face, "You know… I'm not that well off as well…"

Chapter 312: Gong and Drum

With a puff, Tu Mi opened her jaw and spat out the blade of centipede grass which Chi Maojiu had just fed her, "Qilian immortal master, shall we share this between us?"

The blade of grass did not fly high after she spat it out. It dropped downwards again quickly. It stuck onto the other half of Tu Mi's face which was perfectly fine.

Her shiny saliva was spread out on the leaf. It was green and luxuriant, as beautiful as can be…

Goosebumps rose on the dwarf Taoist priest's forehead. He hastily took two steps backwards, "I can still bear it. Please, you have it."

Tu Mi smiled. She struggled and leapt down from Wen Leyang's embrace. She leaned on her own subordinates and reached out to take the leaf which stuck to her face and said to Wen Leyang and Chi Maojiu, "If you two are awake, it is no difference if my wounds are serious or not. This immortal grass would be wasted on me." Then, without allowing any objections, she placed the leaf back into Chi Maojiu's silk sack.

Chi Maojiu exchanged a glance with Wen Leyang. They were in a dangerous spot, as there would be a series of fierce battles soon. It was crucial for them to have a blade of the immortal grass for their own protection, but when they thought about the layer of shining, crystalline saliva…

Tu Mi sighed with extreme relief and waved at her subordinates. The World Sect disciples were full of vigor. Immediately, a dozen of them spread out in all directions to scout the way. At this moment, every one of them had exhaustion all over their faces, but their footsteps were sure and strong. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from everyone's sights.

Wen Leyang led the way, while Chi Maojiu brought up the rear. The group grew more powerful as a whole. With the addition of the energy of the World Sect scouts, not only were they perfectly capable of protecting themselves, they even saved many survivors in the place of the outer fringe cultivators along the way.

When it was dusk, they finally found a silent ruin, where there were no monsters in the radius of a few meters. They were tired of running for their lives for the last few days. The cultivators who had long been exhausted finally got to rest for a while.

That night, Wen Leyang and Chi Maojiu took the sentry posts on themselves. The others focused their spirits and utilized their powers to heal themselves.

Wen Leyang calmed his nerves down and thought back in detail about the incidents not long ago. He did not know whether he should laugh or curse at the fact that Nineteen was New Moon.

Chi Maojiu chuckled, "If you knew she was this powerful, you should've married her back then!"

Wen Leyang was also amused. He shook his head and diverted the topic, "At the entrance to the place of the outer fringe, the two of us had fought with Kong Nuer's subordinates. The group of Heaven's cone nail arbiters had summoned their magical powers and attacked me at the same time." As he said this, he counted, "Immortal aunt Re, Shudou, Rust, Full Moon and the two Crescent Moons."

Chi Maojiu did not understand what Wen Leyang meant. He laughed with a blush, "I was preoccupied with the few little kids back then, so I couldn't be of any help…"

Wen Leyang coughed once and hastily cut him short, "What I wanted to ask was if you could still remember the incantations they chanted, when Full Moon and the two Quarter Moons were casting their magical powers."

The battle not long ago, especially when the group of Heaven's cone nail arbiters attacked Wen Leyang with their collective strength, was a complete mess. Chi Maojiu recalled his memories for a while before he nodded, "The First and Last Quarter Moons chanted 'floating light, flitting shadows' and 'snatch away life and death' respectively. Full Moon shouted…'murderous shadow'…" As he said this, Chi Maojiu was momentarily shocked. After a brief moment, he quickly jumped and repeated with a heavier tone, "Murderous shadow!"

Wen Leyang took a heavy breath, "It's a murderous shadow!"

During the four years that Wen Shulin spent in Black and White Island, he did more in-depth calculations on the three objects – big flat cake, broken gong and the dog. He derived that the broken gong was Cone Nail, the dog was Qian Ren, whereas the big flat cake's clue was 'be free by adhering to fate; have a boundless heart' and 'murderous shadow'.

Chi Maojiu could not help but swallow nervously, "Good man! However, you were gravely wounded by the murderous shadow's magical power in the place of the outer fringe… Going by this trail of logic, would the big flat cake be the Moon cone nail's arbiter?"

The brothers raised their heads at the same time and looked at the moon which hung in the sky. It was the middle of the month; the moon was as bright as day.

Chi Maojiu asked with slight hesitation, "This moon… looks like a big flat cake?"

Wen Leyang was at a loss for words.

Early the next morning, the dwarf Taoist priest and Tu Mi had regained much of their vigor. Wen Leyang and Chi Maojiu set a garrison Prohibition with poison and Witchcraft. Then, they brought along wooden bells used for communications and left the campsite.

The Prohibition at the edge of the campsite could stand study even if a large group of monsters launched a sneak attack. With Wen Leyang's and Chi Maojiu's body movements, as long as they did not go too far, they could rush back in time.

They only returned at dusk. They brought hundreds of survivors with them.

Chi Maojiu and Wen Leyang did not look too good. They had scouted the exit of the place of the outer fringe. It was like a broken irrigation gate, where the monsters' strength was at its fiercest. The two of them had worked together and attempted to break through three times. Not only were they unsuccessful, Chi Maojiu almost fell into the monsters' hands during the final attempt. However, he managed to plant the 'Looking Eye Spell' at the exit.

'Looking Eye Spell' was connected with Ben Ming. The current situation at the exit would be transmitted to Chi Maojiu's heart in real-time.

Intense disappointment hung on everyone's faces. They had been charging everywhere before this. Their situation was extremely dire, but they still had a sliver of hope. They looked forward to being led by the two peerless elites, Wen Leyang and Chi Maojiu, to escape after they woke up.

With half a face left, Tu Mi could only manage half a smile, "Do we have… any reinforcements?"

Wen Leyang shook his head, "I don't know either!"

Their reinforcements had already gathered at the edge of Shiwan Mountains. They were Chang Li, Cone Nail, Hanba and his daughter, Wen Nine, Wen Thirteen, Mumu and her zombie, Kunlun Sect, Eyang Sect, Great Mercy Temple…

Those who were here to watch the show, help out, and the Tuo Xie direct lines who had poured out of their nest, were easily ten thousand in total. The cultivators gathered at the edge of Shiwan Mountains.

Fat monk, Shui Jing, was making magical hand signs. His eyes were shut tight as he searched for the enemies' whereabouts. The group of core elites stood silently around him as they waited patiently. The Heaven's cone nail descendants were not to be trifled with. They even obtained Kong Nuer's formation magic. Under their intentional hiding, they could only hope for Shui Jing to pinpoint their locations.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had gone by. Just when everyone was getting impatient, a sharp sound suddenly broke the skies from afar. Fat monk, Shui Jing's hand gestures changed. He caught the Buddhist prayer bead which shot towards him. After feeling it in his hand for a moment, he quickly opened his eyes and laughed, "I've found them!" As he said this, he stretched out his hand. He pointed on the mountain map which was prepared beforehand.

Chang Li laughed. She lifted the monk, "Let's go!" As she said this, her body swayed and floated towards the mountain!

The group of elites had reached a consensus on their way here. This time, fighting the Heaven's cone nail descendants could be said as the decisive battle with the full force of Kong Nuer's subordinates. No capriciousness or mischief were allowed. Every core elite must muffle their steps after they enter the mountain and move with the group.

The peerless elites, Chang Li, Cone Nail, Hanba and his daughter, Tuo Xie arbiters, Liu Zheng and San Wei's split body went on before the others. They left marks along the way. Old demon rabbit would lead the rest of the cultivators and follow closely behind them. When they encountered the enemy, they would send word through their communications magic weapons.

Countless orders resounded. The ten thousand cultivators that gathered at the edge of Shiwan Mountains moved at the same time. They each urged their own bodies and went boldly into this extremely dangerous land which had been occupied by countless evil beasts since primordial times.

Chang Li's beauty flowed silently throughout Shiwan Mountains. Even when she muffled her footsteps, she was extremely swift. The ones who were with her were all people with peerless cultivation bases. In the blink of an eye, they had already disappeared in the depths of the mountain.

The cultivators in the main group were a complete mess. Their many footsteps moved quickly. The most elite among them, Great Mercy Temple and Kunlun disciples, took the lead and brought up the rear respectively. Although the group was in a mess, they were not slow.

Amidst Shiwan Mountains, there was only silence. No Heaven's cone nail descendants came to attack them, nor did any monsters appear. There were no birds or little beasts, but the group of elites dared not let their guard down, even for a second. Their telegnosis abilities were scattered far and wide from the start. They were halfway through their journey when fat monk, Shui Jing, suddenly exclaimed with surprise. His face was full of puzzlement, before the sky-breaking sound rang again. This time, two Buddhist prayer beads swirled and flew towards him from afar.

Shui Jing caught the prayer beads with his hands. After feeling them for a brief moment, he stammered, "Also, in two more places, there are peerless elites as well…"

Cone Nail took a deep breath. She tried hard to suppress her agitated feelings, "Inside Shiwan Mountains, other than us and the Heaven's cone nail descendants, are there two other extremely powerful forces?" After she finished, she confirmed again, "In total… there are three unidentified powers?"

Shui Jing nodded, "Correct! But I couldn't determine their sizes… well, they're all extremely powerful."

Although the monk's art of searching was magical, his cultivation base was truly limited. The strength of these three powers far exceeded his knowledge of cultivation bases. Just as a big mountain and an earth mound looked like sky-high objects in the eyes of an ant, he had no way of differentiating which one of them was higher.

Cone Nail frowned. She gave a heart-breaking hesitation, "Out of these three groups of people, which one of them is the nearest?"

Shui Jing was confident this time. He quickly pointed towards the direction they were headed, "The ones who we're looking for are nearer!"

The few demon immortals exchanged a glance. Chang Li was the first to step forward, "Let's start with the nearest!"

The little darling Xiaowu had been sitting in Hanba's embrace. She suddenly interjected with a question, "There's also an extremely powerful wild man in Shiwan Mountains. Could he be among these three gangs of enemies?"

The few well-experienced demon immortals nodded at the same time. Cone Nail's tone relaxed slightly, "That wild burly man will not trouble us, as long as…"

She had not finished when the banging of gongs and drums suddenly rang from the depths of the great mountain!

The sound of the gong was rapid, as if a bunch of strong women were quarreling at high-pitched voices. Their sounds extremely irritated everyone. However, the drumming was slow and heavy; it resembled the footsteps of a primordial great god. Every beat pounded firmly on everyone's hearts.

This stretch of Shiwan Mountains which seemed to go on to the ends of the earth came to life with the sound of gongs and drums…

The instant the gongs and drums sounded, old demon rabbit, Bu Le, who was leading the main group at the back, quickly stopped. Little demon rabbit Shan Duan beside him raised his head. The edge of his nose twitched rapidly, as if he could already smell the scent of danger.

The leader of the Five Great Monasteries chanted Buddhist hymns. He led the disciples under his seat to form the protective great formation in the blink of an eye. The other cultivators did not need to be instructed. They took out their magic weapons for their own protection. They reminded each other to be careful as they kept vigilant on their surroundings.

After a long while, nothing happened, but the sound of the gong and drum was still as stifling!

A gleam flickered in the old demon rabbit's eyes. He waited for a while longer but he saw nothing move. Then, he slowly shouted an order, "Don't put away your protective magic powers. Carry on slowly in formation!"

The huge group started moving again, but nobody had expected that just when most of them took a step, a heaven-shocking loud blast sounded. The ground in the middle of the group suddenly caved in. It was a pit, as wide as a meter and as deep as thirty meters!

Then, strange shuffling sounds sounded ceaselessly. From the center of the pit, densely-packed, iron-armored giant ants surged out like waves. They were larger than puppies. They flooded about a thousand cultivators in a split second. With a roar, every cultivator was flustered. They hastily retreated backwards.

"Buddha, protective spell!" The old demon rabbit stared angrily and bellowed. He made hand signs and a magnificent glow appeared. The protective spell golden dragon appeared from among the clouds. It moved with blazing-heavenly domineeringness. It howled and plunged right into the giant ant's nest which abruptly appeared just now! The little demon rabbit followed closely behind his master. The monk's robe he wore turned into grey butterflies. Amidst sharp sneers, a dozen or so Rakshasa moved like lightning. They protected the golden dragon as they too plunged into the ant's nest.

The people in the huge pit were beyond saving now. The other cultivators had only reacted now. They summoned their all-covering magical powers and rained their attacks mercilessly down at the huge pit. Flowing lights gleamed colorfully, thunder boomed boldly, countless ants were blasted to smithereens by magical powers amidst their squeaking squalls. Putrid thick juices, mutilated limbs and shattered bodies flew everywhere.

The cultivators were intent on killing the monsters, but someone suddenly screamed and pointed all around them! The blasts of the magic weapons had muffled the sound of thundering footsteps. Countless monsters – all red-eyed – under the urging of the gongs and drums, charged towards the cultivators from all directions like waves!

The disciples of Eyang, Kunlun and Great Mercy Temple were orderly and were not flustered even in the face of danger. However, the large group of rogue cultivators and small sects had no rules or codes. They ran in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the entire group turned into a large blind mass. Ten thousand cultivators, not short of good hands, countless magic weapons danced in the air, ceaseless divine light shone, while their shots and mannerisms were extremely fierce and surging. However, fighting in this disarrayed manner was the same as the battle between the cultivators inside the place of the outer fringe and the monsters. Sometimes, a thousand magic powers hit the same monster, but at times, not even one single magic power struck at the other direction…

The old demon rabbit was agitated. He frantically shook the communication wooden bell to request help from the peerless elites in front of them, as he loudly directed the disciples of the Five Blessings to cover for where their defenses were thin.

It seemed that the endless stream of monsters was closing in on them. The cultivators could almost smell the foul breaths of the monsters. Finally, a series of shouts like rolling thunder rang from the edge of the skies! They were either bright, angry, sinister or merciless.

"Bullet swords, heed this order and punish the demons!" Liu Zheng wore a stern expression. The skies darkened suddenly. A long rainbow formed by ten thousand divine swords blotted out the faint sunlight. They rained down on the monsters like a downpour.

"Thousand ghosts, resurrect and don't turn back!" Hanba's eyes glowed an eerie green. A puff of netherworldly pale green tore the air. Countless Yin zombies and ghosts crawled out of the ground. They tore and entangled with the monsters around them.

"Heavenly water, auspicious snow, come and go with every season!" Cone Nail did not summon her handy icicles this time. Ten thousand snowflakes dispersed without warning. Every monster that was touched by the snowflakes had the moisture inside their bodies being completely sucked dry in the blink of an eye. They turned into dried corpses.

"Demon! Disaster! The only one!" Chang Li's voice was crisp and lovely. It sounded like godly music. Amidst the heaven-covering howls of monsters, it was so lovely that it brought tears to everyone's eyes. The demonic wind that it struck up, was so putrid that it was sickening. Everywhere it blew, the monsters turned into pus and blood.

The demon immortals and sword immortals in front had returned!

When the gongs and drums sounded, the countless monsters of Shiwan Mountains were riled up once again. The peerless elites who were running ahead had noticed that the main group of disciples were in trouble shortly after. They immediately went back to offer reinforcements. Luckily, Chang Li and the others moved extremely fast. Before they rushed back to help, about a thousand cultivators from the main group were lost!

The monsters who were as domineering as mad ghosts that moved boldly just a few moments ago were scattered and destroyed by countless magic powers in the blink of an eye! As far as the eyes could see, there were only pus, blood, severed limbs, minced flesh and sticky wind!

The group of peerless elites attacked at almost the same time. Every strike was a great magical power that could destroy the world. They stabilized the situation in the blink of an eye. The old demon rabbit finally managed to heave a sigh. He hastily tried to reorganize the troops. The little demon rabbit assisted his master. They assigned different tasks to them according to the strengths of the sects and bands of rogue cultivators. They kept themselves busy for about sixteen hours before they were finally able to advance again.

Chapter 313: The Way Out

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Nineteen and three of her brothers from the same sect stood side by side behind the big short man. They looked towards the faraway Shiwan Mountains; everyone's gaze was shrouded with unconcealable deep shock.

These four people were ordered to protect the big short man who was said to be able to defeat the enemies. At first, the Moon cone nail descendants were indignant, but the words of the five-element demon were the oracle of the immortal master teacher. They could only obey.

The big short man seemed to be shy, but he had been polite so far. He tried to get on their good sides – desperately and fearfully finding a topic to talk about with the Moon cone nail descendants. Only when news from Kong Nuer's subordinates in the outskirts came, the ten thousand cultivators outside the mountain came in throngs under the leadership of the peerless elites. The big short man leapt to his feet and started slamming onto the small set of gong and drum tied to his waist.

Although the gong and drum were small, the noise they made was incredible. With that, countless monsters were riled up!

The few Moon cone nail descendants were dumbstruck.

They never expected that. There were monsters which covered the heavens and the earth in front of their eyes who had gathered into a torrent that rushed into the place of the outer fringe, but innumerable evil beasts were still hiding in the mountain.

They also did not expect that the insignificant-looking, unheard-of big short man had the ability to encourage the monsters to harm others with the gong and the drum!

The fat man, Full Moon, heaved a foul breath, "How many evil monsters are there in Shiwan Mountains?"

The five-element monster turned and chuckled, "In the olden days, the monsters from the mountain had poured out of their nest twice, almost destroying the mortal realm each time. Naturally, their numbers won't be small! Fighting off more than ten thousand cultivators and activating the place of the outer fringe's endless punishment at the same time shouldn't be a problem."

Full Moon nodded. He silently pointed at the big short man who had his back to them and asked the five-element monster, "This big guy… god, what's his story? If he can control the countless monsters here, then isn't he… unrivalled under the heavens!?"

The big short man immediately turned around without stopping his beating. He revealed a dirty smile towards Full Moon and the others, "I'm not controlling them, neither can I control them. Heaven's Extent Gong and Earth's Age Drum could only trigger the savagery of these little things. Once they're riled up, they would gather to hunt down and kill all the intruders without doing anything else."

The five-element monster laughed, "That's enough, that's enough!"

Full Moon swallowed and asked carefully, "Are we considered intruders as well?"

The big short man shook his head politely, "Anyone who talks to me is fine!"

When the few men were talking, immortal aunt Re had woken up. When she heard about the situation in the mountain, she was greatly shocked. There were two worlds inside the Shiwan Mountains. Outside the place of the outer fringe, ten thousand heaven-cultivating cultivators of various affiliations were fighting with the monsters as they advanced. Inside the place of the outer fringe, most of the thousands of cultivators had already died. The survivors were hiding from the monster's pursuit…

Immortal Aunt Re had wanted to say something when her brows raised. She chuckled, "A playful thing!" As she said this, she stretched out her hand. Dozens of blazing flames formed in the air and circled around them. They created a burning net of fire and burned into the ground from her sides!

A muffled wail came strongly from below the ground. When the fire net rose from the ground again, a giant pangolin was caught inside it.

The dwarf Taoist priest was trapped within the place of the outer fringe. The pangolin, Po Tu, also came to gather some information. With his cultivation base, he did not detect any danger in this spot at all. He did not even sense that anything was amiss before he came. When he passed by escaping into the ground, he was caught by Immortal Aunt Re's net.

It was purely a coincidence that Po Tu had passed by. However, even if Immortal Aunt Re did not notice him, he would have no hope of passing through if the others had the slightest intent of killing him.

Po Tu charged inside the fire net. He tried a few times, but his attempts were in vain. When he almost left the ground, Po Tu suddenly howled angrily. The scales on his body erupted with a loud bang. His scales turned into thousands of sinister and sharp blades. Amidst the piercing sounds of rubbing, they finally cut through the fire net. His whitish body was smoother and fairer than a baby's skin. He tunneled into the ground again and ran for his life.

The five-element monster was too lazy to even move. He looked on from the side with a grin. There were countless monsters running rampant in the mountain, but he was not worried that his location would be leaked.

Full Moon, First and Last Quarter Moons made attacks but they were stopped by Nineteen. Immortal Aunt Re was utterly surprised, but she still chuckled, "I've just woken up, so my body is still numb. I can't even catch a little guy like that."

After she finished, Immortal Aunt Re looked at Nineteen again.

Nineteen was expressionless. She replied drily, "His life or death matters not, to the entire plan. And… I've heard about him a few times before this. We seem to be fated to meet. Just let him go and let nature take its course."

Immortal Aunt Re still wore her jubilant smile, "The girl from Mingsha Mountain's Heavenly Moon family has the heart of a Buddha I see!"

Nineteen looked towards a faraway direction. She gave a smile which made the others cringe. Her voice was floaty, "We've saved the immortal master teacher's life, but not the cultivation world!"

A dry and hoarse voice containing unspeakable contempt continued Nineteen's words, "This band of thieves who disobey heaven's will and kill gods are digging their own graves!"

Shudou woke up. Her gaze was sinister, but her wrinkle-ridden old face was full of excitement.

Sir Rust also opened his eyes. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he only managed a sigh.

At that moment, doing the complete opposite, Red Pot opened its mouth wide as it drew a cold breath, "What is… f*cking happening!?"

Behind it, a thousand demon body figurines stood still with blank faces. There were no movements in their eyes, as they looked at their surroundings with blank expressions. They looked at the monsters who howled and charged from every direction. They were getting closer and closer… Red Pot squalled and ordered his subordinates loudly, "Kill!"

Red Pot brought his figurine army out of Black and White Island. When they returned to the eastern land, it heard about the place of the outer fringe. It wanted to kill Wen Leyang, Chang Li, Hanba and Liu Zheng, who were connected to the Black and White Island's sword immortals, and also kill the one who obtained San Wei's body…

Its enemies had all gone to Shiwan Mountains, so of course it wanted to go as well. However, Cone Nail and the others entered the mountain from the west, while it came from the east with its figurine subordinates.

Red Pot came much later than Chang Li and the others, but it had been inside the mountain for a few days now. It had wanted to find an opportunity to assassinate Chang Li and the others after they entered the mountain, but the toad would not have expected, even in his wildest dreams, that the monsters would come before his enemies did…

The group led by Chang Li and Cone Nail were fighting for their lives with the monsters. Red Pot was also surrounded by countless monsters with his thousand or so demon body figurines. The five-element monster and the Heavens cone nail descendants waited with stern faces for the endless punishment to rain down on the place of the outer fringe. The true elite of Shiwan Mountains, the wild burly man, was nowhere to be found. Even when all hell broke loose on this mountain, he did not show himself.

At this time, the monsters had already poured out of their nests. They split into two. Some of them ran wildly among the wilderness, hunting the enemies with a bloodlust by following their scent. The others continued to form the killing wave and charged into the place of the outer fringe ceaselessly!

There were more and more monsters inside the place of the outer fringe. Since they had failed to hold the exit, the cultivators trapped inside could not help but be killed. Up until now, the only somewhat safe place was the campsite where the World Sect and Qilian disciples were right now.

These few days, Wen Leyang and Chi Maojiu did not seem to get any rest at all. They went back and forth from the campsite and everywhere in the place of the outer fringe. They tried their best to bring back some survivors. At first, it was quite effective. They could bring back about three hundred men every six to eight hours. Additionally, they even found some magic tools which refined medicinal pills. Although the building of the talisman script shop crumbled, the refined treasures were still intact. Despite their effects and powers being not really outstanding, it was undoubtedly a piece of good news to the trapped cultivators.

However, starting from the second night, their results started dropping. The number of men they brought back each time was lesser than the previous time. Their wounds were also more serious.

The skies of the place of the outer fringe had lost its original clearness without anyone noticing. It slowly turned dark and murky; the difference between night and day was not that obvious now. Occasionally, chants of divine songs floated faintly in the air; it was graceful but not merciful.

At first, the group had not thought much about this. On the morning of the fourth day, it was the dwarf Taoist priest who was the first to notice something strange. He found Tu Mi and discussed in hushed tones with her. Their faces gradually turned pale and fearful!

Soon afterwards, Wen Leyang and Chi Maojiu returned. This time, they only brought back three men. Chi Maojiu's expression was extremely dark. They were almost completely surrounded by monsters. Within the radius of fifty kilometers, there were no living persons other than them.

There were now more than three thousand people in the camp, with more than half of them having sustained some kind of injury. About a tenth of them were on their deathbed.

When the dwarf Taoist priest saw them return, he immediately went to meet them. He looked at Chi Maojiu with a stern expression, "Wen Leyang, I'm afraid the situation is very troubling!"

Foul air enshrouded them; the skies were dark, the boundaries between night and day grew unclear, while the heavenly gods performed an evensong. These were all premonitions of a great disaster. With the experience of the dwarf Taoist priest, Tu Mi and the others, even if they did not know Kong Nuer's plan, it was not difficult for them to guess what would happen in the place of the outer fringe.

Wen Leyang was astonished. This was not his first time hearing the term 'endless punishment'. He wanted to question closely but Chi Maojiu beside him suddenly let out a shrill curse, "We can't hide any longer! These dog-headed, ghost-faced, no-eggs bastards are here!"

His voice barely faded when a rock of a formidable size, followed by a sharp sound that broke the skies, turned and crashed down on their campsite from afar. The Witchcraft Prohibitions spread out around the campsite were triggered. A few giant vines grew with the wind. In the blink of an eye, they turned into enraged divine punishing whips. Amidst a series of loud cracks, they chipped away at the rock. The giant rock was whipped into fine powder!

The cultivators who had been saved by Wen Leyang and Chi Maojiu over the past few days were all pale-faced. Those who could still move, jumped to their feet and hastily raised their magic weapons. In contrast, the World Sect and Qilian disciples were much calmer. They were in no hurry to get to their feet, but they carried their wounded brothers on their backs, and wrapped them tightly with clothes or ropes. A World Sect young maiden was the most trusted person of Tu Mi. She carried her without a second word. Tu Mi was fat while the young maiden was slender. From afar, they looked like a peacock flaunting his plumage.

The disciples of the two sects quickly carried their friends, while some of them even laughed, "When the monster comes later, I'll turn tail and run. You can act like a shield."

The World Sect or Qilian disciples who were fixed to their comrades' bodies replied with a smile, "Mm. All you can do is run anyway. I'm lying on your flying sword. Let's see how you're going to kill the monsters!"

The group of cultivators inside the place of the outer fringe blushed. They hastily picked up the wounded as well.

Dust flew and blotted out the sky. The layers of soil dragons which erupted at the edge of their sights finally became indistinct. The first monster was easily a few meters tall. Its dark purple body was full of muscles as hard as rocks. There was one red horn on its head which gleamed with a glaring light. After running a distance, it stooped down and scooped up another huge piece of land. It howled and chucked it towards them.

Behind it, the black mass of monsters was like shadows of dark clouds; they could not see the end of them!

The long vines launched their second wave of attacks. They shattered the huge rock tossed by the monster. Although the cultivators in the campsite were unharmed, despair and panic had already filled most of their eyes. Just when they were at a loss, Wen Leyang suddenly exclaimed angrily. He mimicked the form of the faraway monster as he stooped down. The muscles on his not-so-thick arms tensed up as he gripped the surface of the ground in front of him. Amidst shrieks and the sound of cracking soil, a piece of land of the same size was lifted high by Wen Leyang. It danced; it was tossed!

The single-horned monster looked angry. Its gaze was full of disdain. It did not dodge, but led the monster army behind it and ran in a frenzied rage. When the huge rock was about to hit them, the red horn on its head moved. With a 'pa', the huge rock was shattered. Then, it let out a skyward howl full of fighting spirit that turned into a hysteric wail! A greyish color, formed by the intertwining of black and white, swallowed its bright red horn in the blink of an eye…

The rock dropped around it. Even if the howling monsters were touched by even a single speck of dust, they would suddenly plant their faces in the ground and die in the blink of an eye!

Little Chi Maojiu waved at the cultivators within the campsite, "Run towards the east. We'll be right behind you!"

The east was where the exit of the place of the outer fringe stood.

The group of people were shocked. A Witch's Song that was like the collective sounds of a thousand ghosts crying and ten thousand beasts wailing sounded loudly, but it could not mask Chi Maojiu's voice, "We haven't met our reinforcements. Our campsite has been discovered. The monsters are innumerable; there is not even an inch of a safe spot in the place of the outer fringe. Although talk is cheap, I still want to ask all of you, do you guys want to live or die?"

The dwarf Taoist priest answered with a glare, "Of course we want to live!"

Chi Maojiu burst into laughter, "If you want to live, then go towards the way out. Even if you die, die on the f*cking way out!"

A long howl which broke the heavens sounded extremely sharp, but it turned into layers of maddened laughter midway. The dwarf Taoist priest waved at the others. He laughed thunderously, "Follow me. If worse comes to worst, we'll die on the way out!"

Thousands of cultivators answered loudly. When they took the first step at the same time, they turned around while screaming with tacit agreement. They quickly threw their magic weapons in their hands, flying swords on their backs, and talismans on their chest towards the monsters who were closing in on them! Thousands of magical powers gathered into a dazzling rainbow, which was so dazzling it glared; so bright that it broke the Bridge of Sighs. It struck mercilessly at an angle into the torrent of monsters…

Wails, dirty blood, scales, broken horns, and smashed wings flew everywhere. The group of cultivators then guffawed, turned around, and moved towards a direction that no one could tell if it was a way out or a way to die. Regardless, they leapt towards it!

A wild gust of wind blew past Chi Maojiu. With the Poison of Life and Death raging within his entire body, Wen Leyang was like a sharp sword as he plunged into the torrent of monsters. Everywhere he went, wails shot up towards the heavens. Regardless of their size or strange art, everywhere Wen Leyang went, the strong monsters were merely earth dolls kicked over by an elephant. They flew in all directions. From afar, Wen Leyang was like a scythe that roamed freely in a paddy field.

Other than Tuo Xie, the most amazing poison under the heavens, the toughest body under the heavens, was the most peculiar Faulty Punch!

The glow of burning fire filled the air. Hundreds of fire falcons did not fly in all directions this time, but they formed an enchanting and cold giant fire column behind Chi Maojiu. The silent vital fire let out crackling burning sounds this time. Chi Maojiu lowered his stance; his eyes were bloodshot scarlet. He stared at the monsters who were getting nearer and nearer. He let out an extremely muffled long howl from his mouth.

Finally, after a brief moment, a booming loud sound erupted between heaven and earth. The vital fire column behind him exploded with a bang. In front of him, countless cracks appeared. As if they were alive, they emanated towards the monsters amidst cracking sounds!

Without waiting for Chi Maojiu to call him, Wen Leyang rushed back, covered in stench. The brothers looked at each other and laughed. They did not stay any longer, but turned around and ran after the main group.

The monsters were already frenzied and mad. They did not stop the advance. But when they ran into the spot of land filled with cracks, they suddenly felt a searing pain. Then, they realized with fright. The cracks that emanated on the ground, without them knowing, had also emanated onto their bodies.

Very quickly, their shocked eyes were also full of cracks… Then, like porcelain dolls, they shattered.

The huge group of monsters was finally shaken, but it only lasted for a dozen minutes. Their numbers were too great. It was so great that their comrades' bodies and lives were enough to exhaust the enemy's magic spell. Even the two best Tuo Xie disciples as strong as Wen Leyang and Chi Maojiu joined forces. They could never hope to stop or cripple this mass of monsters. All they did was stall them and bought the cultivators some time to run away.

However, this army of monsters was only the tip of the iceberg compared to the numbers of the monsters who were running rampant within the place of the outer fringe…

Ever since they left the campsite, the cultivators did not have any time to rest. What was worth celebrating was, although the monsters in the place of the outer fringe were savage and bloodthirsty, they were not like the monsters outside who utilized their naturally-born strange arts to intentionally seek cultivators. They only formed groups and ran amok. They would only charge when they discovered living people. There was no true coordinated force.

However, even if that were true, with Wen Leyang and little Chi Maojiu, the two peerless elites present, monsters would still occasionally charge into their ranks. There was even a time when the back of their group was swallowed by a huge group of monsters. Every cultivator who fell into the enemy's hands activated their magical powers which burned jade and stones alike without hesitation. Dying on the way out, albeit meeting their doom, they died without regret!

The monsters in front of them could never be completely killed off. Scouts were useless here. Evil beasts were everywhere. To send out scouts was equivalent to serving meals on a silver platter to the monsters. The group firmly made their way towards the exit. Every step was slow and strenuous, but they never wavered in their direction. Everyone understood, they were walking… on the way out!

Chapter 314: Killing the Figurines

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The situation in Shiwan Mountain was much better than the place of the outer fringe. Even though the monsters were more aggressive in pursuing and killing, there were many top master cultivators who were leading the troop. There were many second line of defense's master cultivators of the old demon rabbit's level. There were even more ordinary level master cultivators from Five Blessings' key members. Moreover, they came fully prepared before they entered the mountain. The few famous sects' disciples who were holding the line possessed much stronger quality than the motley crowd in the place of the outer fringe.

The Temple of Great Mercy, Kunlun Sect, Eyang Sect and some ordinary sects were smaller scale but well-trained, launched their magic formations. Their advancement and retreatment were well-controlled. They protected each other, even though it was also a sanguinary slaughter with continuous bloody fights. Their speed was bafflingly slower, yet they could still manage to withstand for a short moment.

The two silly uncles, Mumu and zombie paid no attention to anything else. Their sole responsibility was to protect Shui Jing, to direct everybody, and to advance to the destination in the depth of the huge mountain.

Countless monsters had died. There were also countless monsters that gathered around again. Some were flying in the sky, some burrowing underground, while some came and went like a ghost. Even more came galloping and dashing over, like a herd of bison with burned buttocks!

The cultivators, treasured weapons, talismans, and supernatural powers poured down without a moment's pause…

Chang Li, Zhui Zi, Hanba, Liu Zheng and San Wei took turns to go into the battle. There was always one top master cultivator who stood in front to lead the group and cut paths, while the rest of the people were scattered in the large contingent of troops. Whichever spot was in a critical situation, a great supernatural power capable of blotting out the sky would appear vigorously.

Currently, Chang Li was leading the troop. The rage on her face had disappeared, her expression turned back into that curious smile. She was holding the pair of Versace high heels in her hand, walking barefooted with her fair legs. She was just like a joyous maiden on a spring outing. She bounced about as she walked in front of the troop.

Next to her, layers of black-colored demon blades appeared and disappeared abruptly. At times, they were as soft as the wind in the spring, while occasionally, the demon blades were like big waves that surged on the great sea. The demon blades left behind a mud path that was paved with the monsters' pus and blood!

The monsters' offense had slowed down slightly. Zhui Zi stayed by Chang Li's side with nothing else to do. She watched Chang Li who was slaughtering monsters without launching an attack. She said smilingly, "Please splash a little less blood, it is very dirty."

Chang Li was cautiously looking for clean soil to step away from the blood marsh. She answered, "I cannot. if I do not let them die with shattered corpses, I will feel uneasy all over!"

The demon cat's tone of speaking was relaxed and joyous. It was no different from her laughter when she was fishing.

Zhui Zi rolled her eyes at Chang Li. She diverted the topic of conversation, "The sound of gong and drum is very strange. If the sound is not stopped, the monsters will never disperse."

Chang Li shook her head, "I think that it is best for us to find the correct location first. They are all Kong Nuer's inferiors, they are certainly gathered together. I am going to dash in and kill them after we have met."

Shui Jing found a total of three locations as to where the top master cultivators were hiding using his Art of spirit-searching. They were advancing in the direction of the closest location, yet it still took them a total of three days to arrive on foot.

Chang Li was bored of looking at the monsters, so she started lowering her head and studied her bare feet. She was smiling as if she was very satisfied with her feet. She turned and said to Zhui Zi, "Why don't you remove your shoes too? Then we shall compare them."

The big and small demon rabbits following them gazed at one another. Their faces were filled with a loss of whether to cry or laugh. Zhui Zi pouted her lips and removed her shoes. Her feet were equally fair and pleasant-looking…

Chang Li compared them for a while. She realized that even though she did not lose, she did not win either. She spoke with slight impatience, "This is not fun…"

Meanwhile, Liu Zheng too bounced about as he ran over. He walked side-by-side with the two demon witches, "The fat monk Shui Jing said that we are about to arrive at the location." The little supreme leader's face was slightly solemn. He was about to speak, when Zhui Zi scolded, "Speak properly. Do not assume a feigned manner!"

Liu Zheng scoffed, then he regained his mischievous appearance, "If, I am only saying if, we are able to dash past these monsters' formation. Amongst the good hands of the enemies, there are four moon cone nails in addition to Shudou, Sir Rust, Hot Immortal Aunt. There are a total of seven persons. On the other hand, there is also a five-element demon that is too deep to be fathomable."

Chang Li considered this for a while before she spoke, "The seven descendants of heaven's cone nails shall be dealt by the three persons including me, Zhui Zi and Hanba in full assurance of success. As for the five-element demon… you, San Wei, Mumu and the two silly uncles." As she was saying that, she shook her head again, "That five-element demon, if he were to possess the heavily-moustached man's abilities… we will lose then!"

This group of top master cultivators would start fighting the moment they met. The number of cultivators who came along with them was a good amount, but they mainly dealt with the monsters. They were of no help in the decisive battle between the demon immortals and sword immortals.

Zhui Zi's voice sounded beyond all doubt, "This is not a good arrangement. I am leading San Wei and Tuo Xie's disciples to deal with the five-element demon. All of you including Hanba shall engage the seven descendants of heaven's cone nail."

Chang Li's charming face was filled with vigilance. She turned around and stared at Zhui Zi in all seriousness, "The difference is not that big. What are you trying to do there?"

Zhui Zi laughed in a rather proud manner, "Don't you bother asking. I'll never tell!" She diverted the topic of conversation once again, "It would seem to me that the location that we are looking for is incorrect."

Chang Li nodded. She turned around and glared at Shui Jing ferociously.

The fat monk Shui Jing was startled until the color was drained from his face. He hastily explained, "I cannot differentiate the three forces either. Which one is stronger? Which one is where Kong Nuer's inferiors…"

The large troop of people was close to approaching the first destination. Theoretically speaking, the enemies ought to be sending more monsters to assault. Yet the monsters' offense right now, was even slightly weaker than before. The group of people was discussing as they circled past a mountain ridge, when a steep peak, stabbed diagonally into the ground, suddenly appeared before them!

The boundless monsters too simultaneously reflected and exploded in every cultivator's gaze! Thousands of cultivators were gathered, they were a troop of an army. However, the monsters before them were the raging sea that stretched out until the edge of the horizon!

What was even more surprising to everyone was the monsters before their eyes. The majority were facing the crowd with their backs. They were surging ferociously towards the mountain peak. It was apparent that the first group of cultivators that Shui Jing found was currently encircled by the monsters too.

At this point, Hanba Fifth Brother let out a raging roar. He walked in great strides out of the troop. He collided with the people before him mercilessly. Once he reached the front of the troop, he stuffed Darling into little supreme leader Liu Zheng's arms and spoke viciously, "If you were to even dare to let go of Darling, I shall exterminate the Kunlun Sect!"

He did not acknowledge Darling. To the people's astonishment, he took a wide step and marched towards the monsters before him without hesitation.

On the mountain ridge, gusts of wind were blowing where Fifth Brother's feet landed. A long white-haired drought spirit spread out in all directions rapidly. Any monster that was tainted by the drought spirit would immediately transform into a pile of withered bones.

Chang Li and Zhui Zi stared at one another. They were shouting at Liu Zheng almost simultaneously, "You shall lead the troop!" They each reverberated their supernatural powers and guarded Hanba on either side. They helped him to tear open a bloody path from the densely packed monsters.

Within the boundless sea of monsters, the three top demon immortals joined hands. They were still walking in an unusually strenuous manner, as if a pressure capable of collapsing the heaven and earth, was surging from all directions. Just as the three of them were about to stand still, Hanba was about to fly into a wild rage. Liu Zheng's voice echoed from behind their backs, "Charge ahead, open the path!"

All the cultivators urged their entire life's vitality. The supernatural powers and magic powers that were pouring in all directions initially transformed into two raging dragons, which tore open a breach ferociously from the sea of monsters. Hanba did not turn around. He was charging quicker and quicker towards the mountain peak!

Zhui Zi and Chang Li were unaware of what just happened. They remained by Hanba's side, guarding him firmly. It was only until after they broke through the monsters' seal and dashed to the mountain peak, that both of the demon witches stopped moving in astonishment – except Hanba Fifth Brother!

Before them, were not descendants of the heaven's cone nails, nor the wild burly man – but over a thousand demons in a helpless position.

The first group of people that Shui Jing found were not the descendants of the heaven's cone nails. It was Red Pot, who had recently led his inferiors to enter the mountain, preparing to ambush Chang Li and the rest.

Hanba Fifth Brother's body had already exploded in a ghastly cold arrogance. He almost exhausted his voice when he roared at his companions, "That is all. The rest of the matter is mine. No one is allowed to interrupt!"

Chang Li and Zhui Zi did not speak anymore. They launched their supernatural powers at the same time. They slashed and harvested the surrounding monsters' heads mercilessly, using the spurting fresh blood as Hanba Fifth Brother's battle formation.

A frog's croak that shook the heaven and moved the earth, echoed from the summit of the ultimate mountain ridge. Red Pot's eyes were bloodshot, as it burst out laughing, "I was just resenting my inability to find all of you!" Its two short and thick front claws were waving in a disorderly manner, as it turned around and squalled hoarsely towards its puppets, "Kill them kill them, kill them all! Hah-hah-hah, everyone will die an ignominious death!"

Hanba raised his ghost claws. He tore the first demon figurine that came dashing over into two. Just as the demon blood was splashing out, Hanba suddenly exploded in a sinister, hoarse cry, "What is a demon figurine? It is the thousands of years that I have spent. The time and effort that I have exhausted. The hardship that I have suffered through!"

No one could continue his words. The only thing that his battle companions could do was to stop the monsters that Hanba could kill decadently by himself!

Hanba's ghost claws reverberated like the wind and stabbed the two demon-bodied puppets' faces at lightning speed. With the sound of two agonizing screams, he forcefully tore away the skin on their faces, "What is a demon figurine? It is the reason for my state in between the Yin and Yang world. My existence of boundless time between heaven and earth, yet unable to live or die!"

Darling was bawling loudly in Liu Zheng's arms. She was struggling greatly in an attempt to jump down and help her father. Liu Zheng was green with rage. He allowed her little fists to continuously knock against his chest. Without a single word, he waved and moved his sword formation to stop the tidewater-like monsters.

Hanba's eyes were bloodshot as if blood was about to spurt out of his eyes. His body moved as he raised his leg and forcefully stomped through a demon's chest, "What is a demon figurine? It is my precious that I cry to, laugh to, mutter to, whine sorrowfully to when I miss Mi Xu!"

The cold reflection in Hanba's eyes expanded vastly. He stared at Red Pot and suddenly lowered his raging shouts. His voice was so hoarse it was nauseating, so low it was suffocating. Yet, there was no way the enmity that was entangled in between every word of his could be erased.

"You stole my demon figurines, and that is equal to stealing my life! You destroyed the demon figurines, and that is equal to destroying Hanba's heaven!"

The final word of 'heaven', suddenly blasted into pieces. The demonic energy on the mountain ridge soared in the blink of an eye!"

Hanba's skin was shriveling in a manner that was visible to the naked eye. His sparse hair turned white instantly and started growing in layers all the way until it covered his ankles. With the sound of the nauseating ghost's song that came from the unseen world, countless ghost scripts from the nether world appeared out of thin air. The strong wind on the mountain peak was entangled in a sticky mist of sorrowful howls from the nether world. Hanba transformed into his corpse state. Within a ghastly howl, he dived headfirst into the large group of demon-bodied puppets.

He was a peerless master cultivator before his death. He was the vicious corpse king after he died, and then he was resurrected as a spirit for thousands of years. Hanba, who had already stopped displaying his emotions, was driven to madness by Red Pot.

Red Pot was mad from the beginning, and even more so now. It was sniggering while urging all the puppets to attack Hanba.

Two gushes of tremendous force collided with a loud bang. Hanba was akin to a resolute reef. He caused a surge of heinous bloody waves upon diving into the raging sea. All the puppets that were approaching him were crushed and shattered into thousands of pieces in the blink of an eye.

The demon figurines reserved by Hanba were all extremely incisive spirits and demons before death. The demons were corroded by the corpse energy for thousands of years, then their bodies were created once again. Not only did they lose their spiritual intelligence, but their actual power had also greatly deteriorated too. However, they were still not something that Hanba could deal with by himself. Perhaps, he would be able to sustain for a short while, but for a longer period, Hanba would certainly die.

Zhui Zi was complaining about the hardship in her heart. She did not expect that the first person to break the rule, ignore the group and charge forward, to be Chang Li.

Chang Li was even stomping her foot continuously in hatred. Red Pot and the puppets were trapped by countless demons. They were almost cut off from their way out. A fool would allow them to fight each other to death. Yet because of that wild rage, Hanba was still resenting. The demon cat suddenly laughed, judging the others. If Red Pot's reign was currently made up of Tuo Xie's dharma body puppets, she would fight desperately without a care for anything.

Even so, Hanba had declared earlier that he would not allow others to interrupt. The crowd too, could not just stand and watch helplessly as he killed those puppets. What was even more surprising to everyone, was that amongst the large group of people, the first ones who went dashing over were the two silly uncles…

Chang Li burst out laughing, "We are not even as good as the Wen family's two silly lads!" As she spoke, her demon blades surged up and covered the sky. The demon blades changed its direction and surged towards the puppets' formation. Zhui Zi too did not waste time talking nonsense. She joined the demon cat in urging their supernatural powers. They pounced towards the large group of puppets side by side.

The little supreme leader Liu Zheng was issuing orders continuously. The thousands of cultivation world's picked cultivators behind his back were howling in rage continuously. Half of the troops were risking their lives to resist Shiwan Mountains' monsters, while the other half was under the Taoist priest San Wei's leadership. They killed the puppets on a grand scale…

The nameless steep peak on Shiwan Mountain, turned into purgatory, a slaughterhouse, and land of Shura's Wrath in the blink of an eye! Countless monsters, cultivators, demon-bodies puppets, and a group of top master cultivators, fought noisily. Treasured weapons and fresh blood rose one after another. The sound of spell incantations, agonizing screams, raging roars and bitter cries interweaved into one!

Everyone killed wildly and madly until their eyes reddened. Some people were urging their treasured weapons as they wailed loudly, while some were laughing wildly as they killed the puppets. Others were squalling in a meaningless manner repetitively. The old demon rabbit's expression was unwilling in the beginning. He launched the Buddhism Sect's supernatural power while chanting the deceased's prayer softly. While he was killing, he suddenly tore away his monk robe, howling strangely.

The head lama Rangjung frowned. He took great strides as he walked to the old demon rabbit's side. He was chanting the Tibetan Buddhism sect's mantra. He raised his eyes and he shouted as loud as thunder, "Great master, it is alright to disregard life and death in defending moral principles and expelling evil. However, do not ever infuriate the demon of the heart!"

The old demon rabbit burst out laughing, "I have been cultivating for a thousand years. To be able to be in such a great battle, the hardship that I have suffered is not in vain. The lonesome that I have experienced is not in vain!" With the wave of his hand and sound of a screech, he tore away Rangjung's red robe, "Lama, damn the Amitābha. Kill them!"

Rangjung could not help but to answer, "Very well!" Soon after, he startled himself…

San Wei's split body possessed one-third of the cultivation base of his god level body. San Wei's cultivation power back in those days was no less inferior to Chang Li's and Zhui Zi's. This split body now was a martial art fanatic too. His ability was indeed astonishing. His flying sword was waved around, akin to a blood dragon that accompanied its master to kill its way through the monster and demon-bodied puppet. The Taoist priest was beyond joyous while fighting, it was unknown which muscle of his was wrongly placed. His face suddenly bloomed into a charming smile. He roared and laughed strangely towards the monsters that were dashing over to his side, "The three tastes of the human world. Happiness, happiness appears on one's eyebrows!"

The monsters did not even acknowledge. At the sound of a bang, they came pouncing over. On the contrary, it was the little supreme leader Liu Zheng, who was next to San Wei, who suddenly sniggered, "Immortal senior, these monsters are not gifted with spiritual intelligence. How are they capable of smiling?"

The martial art fanatic San Wei was going through a series of bustles. Upon pulling himself out of the situation, he glared at Liu Zheng, "How would I know if I have never tried?"

Three sides of this mountain ridge were cliffs. There was only one side that was walkable. The steep peak's surface area was considerably huge, yet when it was filled with countless cultivators and monsters, it became exceedingly crowded. From the side of the cliff, there were monsters that were continuously shot down. They tumbled downwards in disarray and fell into a mud…

It was an arduous battle that was almost meaningless. It lasted for a day and night. When it finally ended, over a thousand demon figurines were killed. The monsters that attacked towards the peak earlier were eliminated too.

Following the gradual dissipation of the sound of drum and gong, the monsters at the foothill stopped attacking temporarily. It was only less than a day. The monsters that were encircling at the bottom, were double the amount as compared to when Hanba first dashed up here. Even so, on higher ground, no one could not see the end.

The fatalities of cultivators too were not considered too little. The only advantage that came with this violent battle, was that it made everyone more adept at working together…

Amongst the group of top master cultivators, Hanba was most severely injured. With the group's help, he managed to withstand it anyhow. He still possessed the strength to last another battle. He was shuttling back and forth within the crowd right now. He was glaring with a pair of reddened eyes, as he looked for Red Pot everywhere.

Chang Li was holding Red Pot, who was in a deep coma from being struck by some unknown person's supernatural power. She waved the toad at Hanba. She laughed in a rather pleasant manner, "Do you want to pinch it to death? Or burn it to death with the true fire? Or do you still have some incisive, soul-refining, Art of Ghost?"

Zhui Zi hastily stopped the two old demons with maniacal smiles. She snatched the toad away from Chang Li's hand, "I still have many things to clarify from him. Do not kill him first!"

In addition to the complete annihilation of the demon-bodied puppets, the violent battle and wild slaughter had made Hanba vent most of his rage. He inhaled a deep breath before he turned from corpse form to human form. He looked straight into Liu Zheng's eyes.

Liu Zheng hastily returned Darling in his arms to Hanba. He spoke smilingly, "I have never let go of her. Do not damn us from the Kunlun Sect!"

Hanba seemed to have laughed, "Thank you!"

Perhaps Hanba had never spoken of these two words before. That was why his tone of speaking had an indescribable strangeness.

Zhui Zi ran to the side of the cliff. She looked to the vast and boundless monsters in the surroundings. She stuck out her tongue to them. The troop was marching through the huge mountain. Even though they did not walk fast, they had the mobility, and the opportunity to avoid the encirclement of a large group of monsters. Yet right now, anyone could understand that. let alone running out of this place, it was even a problem for them to guard it.

Their location on the ultimate mountain ridge was not bad in consideration. It was easy for them to defend, but difficult to attack. If they were to truly start fighting, then they may not necessarily be in an advantageous position. Many of the monsters are capable of flying, their topographical advantage was reduced vastly on the ultimate mountain ridge.

Hanba held Darling as he walked to her side, he muttered, "I am sorry for bringing everyone into trouble."

Zhui Zi burst out laughing, her gaze was filled with mischief, "What did you just say? I did not hear you clearly!"

Chang Li too walked over smiling, "The monsters are crazily excessive. Even if we were down there, we would be surrounded sooner or later. It is only a matter of time!" As she was saying that she stretched out her hand and patted on Hanba's shoulder. She shrieked and hastily wiped her hand that was tainted with blood on Zhui Zi.

Zhui Zi was both angered and amused. She did not acknowledge the demon cat. She turned around and looked towards the fat monk Shui Jing who was boasting about his bravery during the violent battle earlier, "The next one, where is the force that is closest to us?"

The fat monk Shui Jing hastily ran over. He distinguished the direction in all seriousness. Soon after, he pointed to the northwest direction, "It is about thirty-five kilometers away from here…" He was halfway through his speech when he suddenly gasped in surprise. His fingertip froze. He pointed to the far end in a flurry.

In the Shiwan Mountain, mountains ridges and hills overlapped and went on continuously. The majority of the places were not as high as the lone peak they were currently at. In the direction where the monk was pointing, at the edge of everyone's sight, a mountain peak of about the same height, as desolate as the current one, was standing alone.

"It should be, on that mountain…" The fat monk Shui Jing's voice was dry.

His vision was restricted when they were travelling in the mountain. The fat monk could only point out the direction. After they ascended this mountain, they were engaged in a battle that was horrifying to the utmost extent. Shui Jing had now only discovered in surprise, that the next destination was located at the far end. It echoed to where they were from a great distance.

The little supreme leader Liu Zheng frowned, "Coursing through the air, thirty-five kilometers is not a big deal. However, most of the monsters are capable of flying. This is a huge problem…" Before he could finish his sentence, Chang Li and Zhui Zi had already leaped up into the sky, plundering as swift as the wind!

Hanba too jumped over once again. He stuffed Little Five into Liu Zheng's arms, "If you were to even dare to let go of Darling…"

Liu Zheng's face was filled with helplessness. He completed Hanba's sentence, "Then you shall exterminate the Kunlun Sect!"

Hanba sniggered in a ghastly manner. His body swayed, then he chased after the two companions in front. The three of them flew out of the nameless mountain ridge in succession. The entire Shiwan Mountain exploded with a buzzing sound. Countless monsters vibrated their wings and flew up suddenly. The sky was blotted out and the sun was covered in the blink of an eye. The monsters were surging after them in a densely-arranged pattern.

The three demon immortals shouted in unison. Each of them launched their supernatural power to kill their way through a bloody path. Remnant limbs and corpses dropped down like rain from midair!

Liu Zheng did not expect to be a nanny on Shiwan Mountain. He watched helplessly as countless monsters were flying around. He hastily roared loudly, "Kill!"

The mountain peak broke out in noise once again. They had only gained victory in a battle earlier. The high-spirited cultivators once again exhausted their voices as they shouted wildly. They tossed the treasured weapons in their hands midair…

The monsters that were attacked were suddenly infuriated. They shook and turned around, attacking towards the mountain peak. Almost at the same time, the sound of hissing and roaring once again echoed from the foothill. Those evil creatures that were incapable of flight, came from below. They shattered all the vital energy under the heaven with their footsteps, as they charged towards the mountain peak…

There was less than half an hour's interval between two violent battles!

It did not take long for the three demon immortals to turn back with stern expressions on their faces. There was no end to killing the monsters. They did not even manage to surge past five kilometers.

Almost everyone cracked into a forced smile. The troop of cultivator armies that seemed valiant and strong, was just a boat in a raging sea.

Right now, the boat was trapped on top of the lone peak!

Chapter 315: Going Forward

In the middle of Shiwan Mountain, two lone peaks stood far apart facing each other. There was a distance of thirty-five kilometers between them.

On the lone northeast peak, thousands of cultivators were firmly encircled by boundless monsters. Whether it was a great demon, sword immortal, or eminent monk, long lost was their elegance and calmness from when they were still cultivating in heaven's path. Now, they were engaging in the arduous battle with disheveled hair; they were hysterical, blood rained down, and agonizing howls and screams filled the wilderness.

While on the lone southwest peak, a group of Kong Nuer's inferiors and the big-headed short man, were sitting on a giant rock on top of the peak.

Not far away, countless monsters were gathering, as they charged into the place of the outer fringe.

The five-element demon whispered to Shudou, Sir Rust and Hot Immortal Aunt about the final magic formation's life vitality circulation. When the uncountable time/endless punishment dawned upon the outer fringe, he was counting on them to launch this final magic formation, to send it into the outer fringe.

Nineteen, Full Moon, First and Last Quarter Moon were sitting around the back of the big-headed short man, entrusted to protect him. However, with the enemies trapped thirty-five kilometers away, there was no possibility they could attack, leaving these guards to boredom.

The big-headed short man banged on the gong and drum, alternating between a soft and strong rhythm.

His divine instruments revealed the monsters' volatile temperament. The rapid beat of gong and drum drove the monsters into such a wildness where they were afraid of nothing. The slow beating revealed their fear of death, slowing down their attack towards the cultivators.

Full Moon realized that the big-headed short man slowed the rhythm of his gong and drum. Confused, he yelled out, "If you ruthlessly bang the instruments for a while, then you shall be in peace once the enemies are completely annihilated!"

The big-headed short man turned around and he gave a forced laugh to Full Moon. "It is not as easy as it sounds, the pair exhausts the state of mind. If I were to knock ferociously and continuously, in the best case scenario I will be injured or crippled. In the worst case, I will explode to death.

Full Moon burst out laughing, "That is because your vitality isn't pure, let me help you for a while!" The big-headed short man's cultivation base was exceedingly low. Only his pair of treasured weapons was incisive.

The short man was startled. He shook his head strenuously but before he could speak, the five-element demon laughed from the side, "If anyone else were to knock on the gong once they will age by ten years. A beat of the drum, twelve years! This pair of treasured weapons is called 'Heaven's Extent and Earth's Age', and that is how it precisely holds this terrifying reputation!"

Full Moon was initially stretching out his hand to seize the drum and gong but upon listening to the demon's words he hastily retracted his hand. He glared at the short man, "Is it true? Then you…"

The short man nodded strenuously, "It is for the others, but if I were to knock on these, one knock will age me by one day which is much better!"

Full Moon behaved himself this time. If the pair was given to him to knock, it would not even take a dozen times before he shrank into a dried corpse.

The short man explained patiently, "I am not knocking desperately, it's not related to the preciouses wearing out my life. In truth, it is difficult to sustain life vitality. Anyhow, the longer I play the instruments, the more tired the enemies become, prolonging the time that is advantageous to everything and not disadvantageous for us." He was, of course, a spirit monster with an exceedingly long lifespan. That was why he did not care about that tiny bit of age that 'cost him one day's age with each knock'.

Fortunately, the short man refused to risk his life to urge on the rhythm of the drum and gong. Chang Li was fighting with great effort but still managed to guard the place.

There was no one blaming Hanba anymore. Whether they were hiding at lone peak that was easy to defend but difficult to attack or shuttling back and forth at the foothill; they were afraid that the fatalities would exceed by at least two to three times.

There was no way to kill all the monsters. The cultivators were trapped on the lone peak already for the whole day. The surrounding monsters had not reduced or dispersed off, but on the contrary, there were even more monsters than before. They were attacking without a moment's pause; the only difference was in their strength.

Using fire to attack, or using soil to conceal, escaping by sword or killing by talisman, the cultivators had figured out many different ways. Yet they still did not manage to break out of the encirclement.

A moment ago, the monsters launched another round of ferocious attacks during the sudden rapid rhythm of drum and gong. They left behind thousands of corpses and finally fell back temporarily, while the group of cultivator leaders gathered together once again.

The old demon rabbit Bu Le spoke to everybody else softly, "There's already almost thirty percent of our people who are injured or dead, but the majority of them are cultivators with lower cultivation base. The great sects like Five Blessings' disciples, World Sect's master cultivators, the highland's cultivators, still possess the force to advocate for a battle."

The little supreme leader Liu Zheng's Taoist robe had already been tainted by the monsters' blood into the color of purplish black. His entire body was enshrouded by a layer of the nauseating stench of blood, "If there is no way for us to break out of the encirclement, at most we can only sustain for another three to five days. Even though we are occupying the topographical advantage now, our ordinary disciples are incapable of withstanding such ceaseless fighting and killing."

Everyone's expression was unpleasant except Chang Li. Her eyes were still as bright as before. She pulled at Zhui Zi's sleeve and whispered while smiling, "When I was killing the monsters earlier, I suddenly thought of something. This slaughter is as great as the heaven. The conclusion was caused by me because I went over to the Black and White Island and crushed you."

Zhui Zi laughed, "Yet you still have the nerve to say so!"

Chang Li sighed softly, "My momentary stubbornness causes boundless disasters, that results in the death of top sword immortals, great demons, cultivators, monsters, people, I can't even count everything…"

Zhui Zi glared at her, "I bet you regret your actions now, right?"

Yet, unexpectedly Chang Li raised one of her brows mischievously and jumped up, "For one instruction of his, I waited for two thousand years. For his sincerity, I offended everyone. For my own happiness, I caused troubles in the world for two thousand years, how can I regret that! Take a look at the entire world, including even the primitive monsters and great deities from when heaven was born, how many of them are capable of living the life that I have experienced before?"

Chang Li burst out laughing, "Real freedom is when no matter what I did, there was no need for me to apologize! Even if I were to die tragically in this lifetime, I will still figure out a way to have some fun in my next life!"

The people around her were laughing, the head lama standing nearby stretched out his hand and rubbed against his scalp ferociously, he was a little confused about how he spent his entire lifetime studying about Buddhism and helped his generation to save the lives of others, yet how did he end up mingling with this group of evildoers.

Meanwhile, Zhui Zi was suddenly stunned. She took out the mad toad that was frozen to ice from her pocket and removed the magic spell easily, "Are you awake?"

The mad toad's two eyes were opened wide and round, its gaze was filled with puzzlement. It looked to the sky, to the ground, to the grand scene by its side, and finally at the monsters that had covered the entire mountain and wilderness. It widened its mouth and muttered, "What happened?"

Chang Li was the first one who could not refrain herself. She burst out laughing after the mad toad had awakened and it turned back into Red Pot.

Red Pot did not understand the situation, its eyes spun around, back and forth, and finally stopped at Hanba, "Why are you glaring at me?"

At the sound of an uproar, everyone laughed. While Zhui Zi was laughing, she explained briefly to Red Pot about how Wen Leyang was trapped in the place of the outer fringe. The crowd had gathered their army to save Wen Leyang yet, they ended up being trapped. She did not mention how it was suffering from a psychotic break.

Red Pot listened. Occasionally it squalled in rage, or stared in bewilderment, but burst out laughing. Its widened mouth was so huge it could almost swallow itself, and spoke in a baffling manner, "The descendant of earth element heaven's cone nail, that is the Earth Emperor Brother Sang, does anyone still remember him?"

The rest of them were stunned for a moment; they did not understand what it was trying to say. Four years ago in the battle of Mount Hua, Brother Sang was attacked by Tian Yin's true soul, and his primordial spirit was erased before he made an appearance. Following that, he was possessed by the wood element evil soul and died under the giant sword Molten Metal Fire Bell. When this incident took place, Red Pot was still imprisoned in the Desert Rebel Mountain so he should not have known about the matter.

Red Pot's gaze was arrogant, "I swallowed Xiang Liu's true soul before. Even though I did not manage to dissolve that bugger, I retained his memories to some extent. Especially incidents that had taken place recently, I knew everything like the back of my hand."

Even for a group of master cultivators with exceedingly high intelligence, they could not figure out what Red Pot was trying to say. They almost could not refrain from frowning.

On the other hand, Red Pot continued and laughed, "When the true soul was killing Brother Sang, he received a set of formation charts passed down to him by Kong Nuer! Tian Yin took a look at that formation chart back then, and even though he did not pay too much attention, he had completely remembered the chart. So those set charts are in my mind right now!" As it was saying that, Red Pot stretched out its short and thick front leg, and pointed to his brain clumsily.

Before his voice died away, the three top demon immortals gasped out softly in unison.

The rest of the people had yet to figure out the situation. Zhui Zi laughed as he recalled, "Those set of formation charts… when carried out, it will become the Great Guiding Formation!"

During the battle of Mount Hua, Kong Nuer passed down the magic formation with the intention to guide them into the wastelands where the chaos' root system was hidden. However, due to the descendants of the chaos cone nail's disturbance, they guided them into the Desert Rebel Mountain and the Black and White Island.

Liu Zheng understood Red Pot's intention and could not help but burst out laughing, "If you are capable of restoring the formation chart and launch the magic formation, then we can then ascend onto the wasteland and wouldn't need to be trapped here to await our doom!"

Upon saying that, he paused for a moment. Trying to suppress the excitement in his heart with great effort, he spoke with seriousness, "The wasteland is vast and boundless. It is much barer than Shiwan Mountain, hence we would have room to circle around the monsters, and save Wen Leyang.

The gift Red Pot presented, in simpler words, was an opportunity of deep strategy as they could circle around the monsters.

Discovering that she needed not to be trapped on the lone peak, the Darling's little face was filled with a joyous smile. She exhaled a long sigh of relief, she did not realise she was holding in and muttered softly, "Fortunately the creature that has awakened is Red Pot, if it were the evil soul-"

Before she could finish her sentence, Hanba picked her up and placed her on his lap. The Fifth Brother's expression remained as savage as before, yet his gaze was filled with affection. He shook his head as he spoke, "Even if the creature that had awakened was the evil soul, as long as it remembers the magic formation, it will tell us."

The demon immortals and sword immortals were attempting to leave the lone peak not because they wanted to escape for their lives, but for the opportunity to save Wen Leyang and destroy Kong Nuer's scheme. Even though it was the evil soul that was squalling now, it would still certainly create an opportunity that allowed two groups of enemies to fight desperately.

Red Pot puffed up with pride but its ears were still very sensitive. It turned around and looked towards Hanba and his daughter, "What do you mean by the creature that has awakened is the evil soul? Is there another evil soul? The old father will swallow it!"

Zhui Zi hastily refocused the topic of conversation. She stretched out the long silk. After inquiring and discussing with Red Pot, she restored the Great Guiding Formation's formation chart.

Even though they were mortal enemies, after studying and understanding the formation chart, the group of demon immortals could not refrain themselves from feeling heartfelt admiration for Kong Nuer's profound orthodox magic formation. The Great Guiding Formation was complicated to the utmost extent, but it was also simplest to the utmost extent!

The complicated part was the principle that allowed the magic formation to take form, while the simple part was the method to arrange and launch the magic formation.

The demon immortals had only studied the principle roughly for a while. They then started arranging the Great Guiding Formation. In order to allow the magic formation to take form, they only needed two crucial parts – the first part was the life vitality force that belonged to any sect, from one of the nine heaven's cone nails, the second part was a group of nine hundred and ninety-nine profound disciples.

Within the large group of cultivators, there was a genuine water element heaven's cone nail. As for profound disciples, they would be able to pool an army together, even if three times the designated amount was necessary.

The operation from beginning to end was completed in the day. Zhui Zi led nine hundred and ninety-nine profound cultivators in chanting the incantation silently and launched the magic formation. There was no circulation of divine radiance or surging of life vitality, and after a moment, the entire sky and land suddenly shook once, after everything regained calm once again!

Zhui Zi exhaled and nodded to her companions, "The magic formation is faultless. It will not take long before the wasteland is guided into this place."

Liu Zheng, San Wei, Bu Le, Rangjung and the rest had already issued the order to make full preparations. When the wasteland arrives, the large troop of cultivators would immediately leave the lone peak. They had also made well-planned arrangements for everything after they had ascended into the wasteland. Someone would be in charge of luring the enemies, someone else would be in hiding, and another supporting movement to cut off the enemies. They would ensure that the group of top master cultivators were able to kill their way into the lone peak thirty-five kilometers away!

On the lone peak, there were not only leaders like the descendants of the heaven's cone nails, the big-headed short man and the five elements demons. Lots of immortal master teacher's inferiors were sitting together in groups of twos and threes. They could sense the vibration of the sky and land a moment ago too. The majority of the people jumped up and they stared at their surroundings vigilantly, afraid that the enemies would come attacking.

The big-headed short man was confused about what happened too, but he still laughed, "No one is capable of charging past those monsters with their aggressive temperament triggered. Do not worry, rest and recuperate in peace."

The crowd had exhaled a breath of relief in unison while the five-element demon spoke with a lowered voice, "Will Shudou, Sir Rust, Hot Immortal Aunt please fall into the great formation? The endless punishment in the place of the outer fringe is about to arrive in a moment. Launch the great formation upon receiving my oracle! The rest of the people exercise vigilance and caution!"

The crowd responded to the order, Nineteen, on the other hand, walked in quick strides to the front of the five-element demon and asked softly, "After you have entered the place of the outer fringe, what are we supposed to do?"

The five-element demon had only remembered then that the group's 'funeral affairs' had yet to be briefed. He sniggered as he patted on his head, and gave out the muffled sound of banging, "Once the magic formation is launched, the three of them including Sir Rust are considered to have completed the important matter that is entrusted by the immortal master teacher to them. Then they will be able to make time to help all of you."

While saying that, the five-element demon stretched his neck and looked to the lone peak afar, he muttered to himself, "There is actually not a lot to help with. All of you have nothing much to do. By the time the monsters are done killing the enemies, you are all dismissed. If the immortal master teacher wants to assign another errand, then he shall pass down an oracle by himself."

Full Moon too walked over, "After you have entered the place of the outer fringe and when the monsters are done killing all the enemies, there will be nothing else for us to do? We would really like to meet the immortal master teacher once…"

The five-element demon laughed aloud. He changed his usual naïve and ignorant expression and at Full Moon and Nineteen as if there was a profound meaning, "As long as the immortal master teacher's affairs are handled attentively, the teacher will help you to grant your wish. As for the rest of the matters, there is no need to think too much."

Upon saying that, he led the three persons including Shudou and entered the magic formation. He closed his eyes and held his breath as he repeated his order earlier once again dully, "The endless punishment in the place of the outer fringe, it's about to arrive soon. When my oracle is heard, launch the magic formation!"

Inside the place of the outer fringe, the sky had already disappeared. Wen Leyang raised his head and looked over, it was a dimmed grey that did not carry a sense of radiance. As if it was so far and limitless but also close as within his reach.

Wen Leyang and Chi Maojiu walked side by side. They had almost already walked until the end, where not far away was the exit of the place of the outer fringe. However, it was also the spot with the highest count of monsters that were raging the most aggressively.

The strong Poison of Life and Death had rooted into the ground and reproduced endlessly. Groups upon groups of monsters charged forward and turned into greyish white-colored corpses in the blink of an eye.

The witch's song overlapped, fiery falcons flew into the air and long vines' fatal formation was splashing blood. The bone swamp that circulated after the ground cracked was swallowing the monsters in huge gulps.

Yet, only ten percent of the three thousand people who were right behind them when they left the campsite were present. Currently, the only person who still had the strength to launch an attack was the dwarf Taoist priest.

As compared to strong poison and witchcraft spells, the dwarf Taoist priest's red-colored flying sword appeared insignificant. It had no bearing on the overall situation of slaughtering the monsters. This flying sword that had since lost its shine after leaving the campsite had never halted for even a second!

Every time the flying sword was soaring, there would be an explosion of foul-smelling blood that splashed up to the sky.

Finally, that enormous crack from afar sank into everyone's vision, countless monsters leaped into the place of the outer fringe out of thin air. They ran everywhere, and within their bright red, bloodlust eyes was the reflection of the survivors' shadows.

Chi Maojiu turned his head to the side, he seemed to have smiled at Wen Leyang, as if he was about to say something, his lips moved a few times yet he did not manage to make a sound.

Wen Leyang raised his leg and kicked a gigantic monster into a pile of ground meat and blood that splashed everywhere. All the monsters behind it were splattered with blood. They screamed out in agony as they dived headfirst into the ground that was mottled with cracks, causing a splash of dust, crushed rocks and heavy lifelessness.

Wen Leyang looked back at Chi Maojiu with his mouth cracked into a smile.

Eleven years ago he was the child who liked to interrupt conversations, to ask about everything, to lie on behalf of the second mother. He would puff up his chest as he declared that 'I am the big dragon's root' with a proud expression.

Five to six years later, he was that foolish young lad who had apparently already received one hundred percent of the grand master's witchcraft power. Yet in order to listen to Tuo Xie's message, he was willing to sacrifice ninety percent of the power and even tore off one of his arms.

It was unknown when he became the top master cultivator who depended on his rare Art of Witchcraft. He dominated the world by being cruel and merciless and was able to seize countless domineering forces by himself, yet he still talked about his debt of gratitude back in those days over and over again.

The person who was fighting side by side with him at this moment was his brother. He was capable of eloquent speeches on some days perhaps because it was the end, he knew how to smile foolishly!

The brothers looked at one another and laughed, after a moment, it was unknown from whose mouth, two words were shouted encouragingly, "Go forward!"

Go forward!

Go forward side by side.

Their footsteps were supposed to be light but instead, they marched on heavily. Every step they took they crushed the surface of the ground and rolled up clouds of dust.

Their movements that were supposed to be swift and agile, were intentionally steadied and slowed down. Even though their movements lost its sharp sound, it was replaced with the echoes of wind and thunder.

Their heroic mannerism was oppressed in their chests. They did nothing but allowed this gush of tremendous force to collide ferociously against their heart, liver, lungs, limbs and bones! The enormous explosion was capable of urging and seizing the soul!

You did not speak, I should not cry and scream.

You did not turn around, I should not stop walking.

You did not die, I should not rest. If you were to die, then I would bury the entire world with you!

Go forward.

The moment Chi Maojiu and Wen Leyang moved, the remaining hundreds of people behind them too followed along and started running.

The roaring of the monsters and the indistinct sound of thunder in the sky had since become unheard. There was only the sound of their own heavy breathing and their heartbeats as loud as a gong and drum. They could not see the enemies in their eyes. There were only remnants of red from exhaustion, and the blurred shadows of two human figures not too far away. In their minds, they had already forgotten what they were doing. They staggered on as they followed Wen Leyang and Chi Maojiu, but that was only their instincts.

Chapter 316: The Great Chaos

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

One Shiwan Mountain, double layers of sky and land, and triple groups of cultivators.

On the inside of the place of outer fringe, Wen Leyang and Chi Maojiu, brought along the last of their companions. They walked with the gait that was bloodiest and most violent in their entire life. Just like a metal-capped ship that was hard, tenacious and wildly arrogant beyond its own ability, they collided ferociously into the monstrous wave that was converged from the monsters. The exit was within their horizon. If they could kill their way out, they could escape alive!

On the southwest lone peak, the five-element demon brought along three people including Sir Rust. They closed their eyes and held their breaths. They were waiting silently for the moment the place of the outer fringe was struck by the endless punishment. Perhaps it could be the next second, or perhaps they would wait for another ten more minutes, but the demon understood very well, that the great punishment in the land of the outer fringe, would happen in an hour. The magic formation could be launched at any moment.

On the northeast lone peak, the Great Guiding Formation was already successfully launched, while the large troop of cultivators was on alert and combat-ready. They would immediately leave the difficult position the moment the wasteland arrived.

The group of demon immortals and the core members were standing at the edge of the lone peak.

The sky had already darkened. No one knew since when or where a stretch of dark clouds that were connected for a thousand miles floated from, that firmly covered the initially dimmed and pale glow of the moon and stars.

The suffocating and humid air pinned down heavily on top of everyone's heads.

Hanba raised his head and looked up to the sky. He spoke dully. "Tonight, I'm afraid that it is going rain heavily."

Chang Li gave a spurious smile as she continued his topic of conversation, "I wonder, if it's going to rain heavily on the wasteland…" Before she could finish her sentence, the surrounding air suddenly surged and shook. Zhui Zi laughed aloud as she shouted, "It's here! Everyone get ready!"

Before her voice died away, the vision before everyone's eyes darkened! The magic formation finally appeared in the ultimate land.

On the other hand, whether it was the top demon immortals, sword immortals, or the cultivators that had already been prepared to step into the wasteland, everyone gave out extremely surprised cries! The Great Guiding Formation was successfully launched, but after the void was breached, the location that was guided in and connected to the lone peak, was not the wasteland with hidden chaos' egg.

The location that was guided in, was the other slanted, sharp and steep mountain peak that stood proud and aloof, thirty-five kilometers away from them!

Not only did Chang Li and the rest scream out in astonishment.

The group of immortal master teacher's inferiors, the descendants of the moon cone nail and even the big-headed short man, and the five-element demon, were all staring in bewilderment.

It was as if God was intentionally playing a prank. After the Great Guiding Formation was launched, it connected the two lone peaks where the two gangs of mortal enemies were at!

The demon immortals and cultivators, could not understand how the situation happened. The immortal master teacher's inferiors even widened their eyes more in surprise. They dared not believe regardless, that the enemies would suddenly run to the bottom of their feet, all at once.

For a moment, the initially bustling Shiwan Mountain with battle cries that reached to the sky suddenly quieted down, even the monsters too shut their mouths in unison. It was until a moment later, that the sky suddenly exploded in a loud muffled thunder. Everyone was akin to being awakened from a deep sleep. More than ten thousand people on the mountain and below the mountain almost shouted simultaneously, "Kill!"

Soon after, countless monsters howled and roared. Supernatural powers, magic incantations, and wild laughter, boiled over the Shiwan Mountain in the blink of an eye!

No one could care about looking into the magic formation. The two packs of mortal enemies that suddenly met each other without being prepared, engaged in battle in the blink of an eye.

The five-element demon was both astonished and infuriated. He ordered his inferiors loudly, "Stop them!" Following that, he glared ferociously at the big-headed short man, "No one is allowed to come up here! This order is related to the esteemed master teacher's life. Do not ever allow the enemies to create trouble here."

The big-headed short man needed no instruction, nor did he care about the difficult continuation of his life vitality. He exhausted the strength of his entire body. While he was squalling and howling, he pounded his gong and drum loudly.

On the two lone peaks, all the monsters from Shiwan Mountain stood to gather. Under the wild urging of the gong and drum, the monsters' eyes turned red all of a sudden, as they pounced towards the cultivators ferociously.

Chang Li and the rest almost laughed themselves to madness. Their doubt towards the Great Guiding Formation had already been washed away by the joy of finally confronting the enemies into nothingness.

The surrounding monsters, were akin to monstrous waves, as they surged in from all directions. When seen from afar, the two lone peaks that were connected top to bottom seemed to be twisting about. The monsters from below were trying to surge upwards, while the monsters from above were starting to dive downwards. There were even strange birds that covered the sky, all arriving as swift as lightning!

The old demon rabbit Bu Le's eyes were bright red. He had since forgotten that he upheld the identity of a Buddhism sect's disciple. He opened up his arms to summon the Buddha's protective heaven dragon, and raised his voice as he roared as loud as the thunder, "My men, hold down the formation on behalf of your grand masters!" Countless cultivators roared loudly in response, while thousands of treasured weapons' divine radiance suddenly burned scorching hot, and blocked the monsters that were attempting to surge from behind desperately.

At the same time, a chain of lightning rolled in all the way from the edge of the sky, accompanied by loud muffled thunder, rainstorm came down in a splash.

Chang Li, along with Zhui Zi and Hanba, walked in front, side by side. They walked step by step, as they walked towards the waterfall-like monsters. They went against the current, over a thousand demon blades spun around and howled, while soundless white hair drought spirit spread out. There were even streaks upon streaks of dazzling and lustrous icicles.

Mumu guided the zombie, and together with the two silly uncles, they protected the left side of the demon immortals. They did not possess the magic art capable of ambushing from afar, yet where they passed by, they left behind remnant limbs and ground meat that spurted fresh blood.

The two Taoist priests, Liu Zheng and the martial art fanatic San Wei, followed on the right of Chang Li and the rest. Countless flying swords were humming and whistling. Whether it was the monsters that came flying or pouncing over, the monsters were all shredded into a million pieces when the cold radiance exploded in a flash!

Everyone's eyes turned red from the killing. Chang Li and the rest were skilled in profound magic arts – they also had the entire cultivation world's force that was willing to sacrifice their lives to protect them. The descendants of the heaven's cone nails too had top demon immortals on their side, and also had the Shiwan Mountain's monsters that had since turned mad, to help attack and kill the enemies!

Chang Li laughed maniacally. Her long hair and long dress had since been tainted with foul-smelling blood. Her spring lake-like bright eyes, and the charm of her fighting violently and bloody arrogance were poised together. She was so beautiful, no one dared to even look at her, nor think about her. She was akin to a cat with a bright and shiny coat, yet bloodthirsty and stubborn, with her prey's fresh blood on the corner of her mouth. She was the cat that had already begun cleaning her coat impatiently!

Zhui Zi was rainfall and a rainstorm, in one. She destroyed everything mercilessly and washed the mortal world. The bubble that was splashed up when she tumbled onto the ground, was so graceful too!

As compared to both of them, Hanba was so hideous that his mere existence made one reduce to tears…

Chang Li was dashing and killing, when she suddenly gave out a 'huh'. Hanba and Zhui Zi by her side, needed no instruction. They immediately took a few steps forward, and helped to block away all the pressure on behalf of her. Chang Li bent over and started knocking rapidly on the surface of the ground. A moment later, a series of cheering voices echoed from the depth of the underground. Soon after, the giant pangolin Po Tu with fair and baby-smooth complexion, bored out of the ground while panting.

Po Tu sacrificed its entire body's scales. It escaped from Hot Immortal Aunt's grasp, but it was injured rather severely. It had yet to run away from the lone peak before it stopped moving. It was a giant pangolin that possessed the inherent ability to feign its death. It was difficult for others to realize that, but it could never hide from Chang Li whom it had made contact with on a few occasions.

Chang Li was feeling rather surprised herself, she did not expect that the pangolin could surprisingly hide underneath the enemies' feet, yet before she could manage to inquire in time, the sound of roaring was heard continuously from Hanba's side, the situation of the battle was tensed, Chang Li could not care about Po Tu now, she spoke smilingly, "Allow the people behind to protect you!" As she was saying that she tossed it towards the large troop of cultivators behind her conveniently, she moved swiftly and helped Hanba to settle down the enemies that came attacking like a swarm of bees.

Po Tu was somersaulting in the midair, its mouth was still shouting in a haste, "There is something hidden underneath their feet, there is the burly man, monkey, and also a pillar…" The entire mountain and wilderness were filled with the sound of battle; no one could even hear the pangolin's words clearly…

Chang Li and the rest ascended the mountain swiftly, it did not take long before they had already crossed over the mountainside, and left behind a streak of muddy and bloody path behind them, that could not even be washed clean by the pouring heavy rain.

Even though the monsters came in great numbers, but most of the monsters were blocked behind the cultivators led by the big and small demon rabbits, every minute that had passed, there were hundreds of cultivators slaughtered by the monsters, while every step that Chang Li and the rest advanced, destroyed the enemies' defense line like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood…

In the tragic battle, the two lone peaks were tainted red by the fresh blood that splashed everywhere along with the rainstorm.

Ten minutes, passed by in the blink of an eye, without using supernatural power, or relying on telegnosis ability, Nineteen could already see Hanba's teeth that were revealed when he cracked into a maniacal smile clearly. Even though the monsters were not afraid of death, yet they did not manage to stop the group of top master cultivators in the end, the two parties were less than a hundred meters apart!

The five elements demon's eyes were almost cracking in rage, yet it dared not leave the magic formation, its eyes were bloodshot as it glared towards the big-headed demon, "What are you waiting for!"

A squall that sounded so hoarse it was enough to tear everyone's eardrums into pieces, surged skywards from the big-headed short man's mouth, "Come! Out! Now!"

After the three words were spoken, a mouthful of fresh blood, spurted out of the short man's mouth for a distance of a few meters in front of his body…

That puff of fresh blood had yet to scatter onto the ground, when boundless crushed rocks exploded from underneath the short man's feet with a loud bang, within the sound of a loud and sharp howl, the shadow of a human figure accompanied by wind and thunder, pounced towards the group of master cultivators who were ascending the mountain peak ferociously!

Thousands of years passed by like a day on Shiwan Mountain, the wild burly man who moved rocks to suppress the evil caves, was also controlled by the big-headed short man, he had been hiding in the soil underneath their feet all along, when the group of master cultivators ascended to the peak at this moment, the big-headed short man almost exhausted half of his life, he summoned his fail-safe!

The demon blades, ice spikes and white hair drought spirit, were completely mashed by the wind and thunder shook by the wild burly man! The little supreme leader shouted, thousands of Kunlun divine swords that were immersed in the enlightened person Tian Hua's primordial spirit suddenly changed its direction, and wrapped around the burly man in a black mass, the sound of sword's hum echoed loudly, thousands of long swords were vibrating together, and finally converged into a loud noise that roused the heaven!

Boom!

Countless broken swords and remnant blades exploded in all directions within the sound of sorrowful screams, the wild burly man's eyes were shut tight, his expression was savage to the utmost extent, within the sound of his long howls he smashed the sword formation, and dashed forward!

Chang Li and the rest who had just ascended onto the peak, within the sound of their shouting, they fought into a ball of mess with the wild burly man in a grand scene. The surrounding monsters that attempted to join into the battle were completely pounded into flesh paste by the tremendous force surged by the thundering supernatural powers.

Meanwhile the five elements demon suddenly burst out laughing strangely, "In the place of the outer fringe, the punishment cloud has already arrived, send me in!"

The three persons Shudou, Sir Rust and Hot Immortal Aunt were already so anxious they clenched their teeth so hard they almost crushed their teeth, they were suddenly elated upon hearing the demon's words, they did not speak anymore, but they immediately sat upright and crossed their legs, their mouths were chanting the incantation loudly!

The group of master cultivators' eyes were almost cracking in rage, yet no one could dash out of the wild burly man's blockade regardless.

There was only Zhui Zi, the piteous and weak appearance still rippled in between her faint smile lines as before, yet the item in her arm that was raised high up in the air, was an ancient weapon that made everyone so terrified their hearts and gallbladders were almost shattered – it was the Golden Bow Salvo.

Wen Leyang brought along this violent bow back to the Wen family village from the Jilong Sect, before entering Shiwan Mountain this time, Zhui Zi secretly brought this violent weapon capable of killing a person, but also capable of killing oneself.

Just as the golden bow was raised, Chang Li suddenly understood, why did Zhui Zi said earlier, that she would deal with the five elements demon.

Even Hanba and the demon cat who was standing a stone's throw away, they did not manage to react to the situation in time.

She floated in the midair gracefully, Zhui Zi pulled the golden-colored fierce bow's bowstring that was trembling slightly.

In a flash, everything in the surroundings was frozen, the monsters that were arriving like a swarm of bees, the rainwater that was splashing everywhere, and also everyone's bloodshot gaze…suddenly a cold and sinister laugh shattered the frozen space-time heavily, even though the wild burly man was out of his mind, yet he sensed the horror of that golden bow! His speed completely crushed everyone's gaze, at the same time Zhui Zi was pulling at the bowstring, he appeared by her side without a sign, he raised his leg and kicked her over heavily!

The Golden Bow Salvo rolled weakly, Zhui Zi tumbled onto the ground.

Zhui Zi was coughing blood and laughing forcefully, for the actual power of this wild burly man, as compared to the big moustache man from the battle of Mount Hua, seemed to be stronger by many folds!

While the wild burly man's wild pounce, seemed to finally revealed a flaw in his movements! Zhui Zi's life-sacrificing one blow, resulted in her coughing blood and severely injured, while the battle companions by her side were infuriated until their chests exploded, everyone gave out the sound of fierce howls, they wished that they could spat out their internal organs, as they formed into a ball akin to madmen.

The two silly uncles stood on the left and right, they grabbed the wild burly man's legs, they allowed the opponent's knees to break their two four six eight ribs, still they refused to let go, under the influence of the Faulty Punch, they moved their hands legs shoulders and foreheads together, they swore to never give up before they broke his legs.

The little supreme leader Liu Zheng and the martial art fanatic San Wei grabbed the wild man's left arm, Hanba hugged his right arm, the three top master cultivators combined their strength yet they could not pin down his strength, they were spun around by the wild man akin to a windmill.

While the demon cat had already pounced into the wild burly man's back, she revealed a mouthful of ghastly teeth, as she bit down onto his neck…

While at the same time the old woman Shudou suddenly gave out an owl-like squall, "The great formation has taken form!" Soon after a layer of dazzling silvery white-colored radiance suddenly bloomed from underneath their feet.

It was at this moment, a sweet and crisp accent that was accompanied by a Sichuan girl's boldness suddenly echoed, "Shoot!"

The sound of a corpse's roar, next to Mumu with disheveled hair, a tall and huge zombie leaped up high into the air, in its hand, was a weapon that was impressively pulled, that was precisely the Golden Bow Salvo that looked down on the entire world!

Buzz!

The sound of the bowstring shook through the heaven and earth, three streaks of scorching hot divine radiance, exploded through the sky!

With the cultivation base of the Jilong Sect's ordinary disciple, when it was used to launch this golden bow, it almost shot and killed Wen Leyang, let alone the person who bent the bow earlier, was the corpse king that was personally selected by Hanba for Mumu.

"First Quarter Moon!"

"Last Quarter Moon!"

"Full Moon!"

"New Moon!"

Four voices echoed simultaneously, four descendants of the moon cone nail, four streaks of simultaneously launched top supernatural powers!

Everyone's eyes were filled with a stretch of radiance that was magnificent to the utmost extent, the golden bow released three streaks of shadows, one of the shadows was dissolved by the combined powers of the descendants of the moon cone nail, within a loud and heaven-shattering noise, while Nineteen and her three disciples spat out a mouthful of fresh blood in unison, they staggered and tumbled onto the ground.

There were still two more arrows, akin to the meteor that was chasing after the moon, the arrows raided towards the five elements demon in the middle of the magic formation!

The five elements demon's face was filled with savageness, he suddenly turned and formed into two hand seals, his mouth was roaring wildly, "The formation-guarding spell!"

Just as the two divine arrows were breaking the breach and shooting out, soil and rocks cracked in the middle of the mountain peal abruptly, a streak of golden-colored short and small shadow of a figure, a stick of silver-colored pillar appeared on the same row, and blocked in front of the five elements demon's magic formation.

The golden-colored short and small shadow, was the golden monkey Qian Ren.

While the silver-colored pillar, was surprisingly the moon genus demon-suppressing heaven's cone nail that Nineteen and her crews dug out from the Black and White Island recently!

The four descendants of the moon cone nail had utterly no idea, that the moon genus heaven's cone nail that they spent laborious effort to risk their lives, the cone nail that they stole and hid properly, since one month ago, it was already retrieved by the five elements demon without their notice, it was buried beneath the final magic formation all along.

There was no need to mention of the golden monkey, it was casted with a prohibition spell after it was captured, then it was imprisoned.

One was a demon-suppressing heaven's cone nail, that condensed the power of the moon's essence, one was the ultimate rare beast of the metal element, that possessed the body that even King Gesar was incapable of destroying. Such one cone nail and one beast, no doubt they were still 'captives', but they were also casted with a spell by the five elements demon into becoming the final defense to guard the magic formation!

The radiance that pierced through the heaven and earth flashed past and disappeared, the final two divine arrows, were also blocked…

The creature that blocked the two divine arrows, was the golden monkey, Qian Ren screamed out in agony, it tumbled onto the ground heavily and stopped moving, the power of the Golden Bow Salvo's one arrow, even though it was incapable of destroying its body, but Qian Ren's primordial spirit was almost torn and shattered! However, the prohibition spell on its body, was also destroyed by this one arrow.

The creature that blocked the third divine arrows, was the moon genus heaven's cone nail, the heaven's cone nail that was already mottled with fissures, under the reflection of the arrow's radiance it exploded with a series of piercing and smashing sound, it was forcefully exploded into a puff of stone powder!

The four descendants of the moon cone nail almost gave out an agonizing scream in unison, their schemes and plots over thousands of years, still turned into nothingness in the end!

Within the sound of wild laughter, the five elements demon turned around and spoke to the four descendants of the moon cone nail that were deranged, "The immortal master teacher's trick, is not something that the few of you ants are capable of comparing to!" Before his voice died away, the silvery white-colored radiance that bloomed form within the magic formation suddenly wrapped around him, and tossed him towards the entrance of the place of the outer fringe.

Shudou and the rest on the other hand called out to one another, they summoned their supernatural powers, and killed ahead towards the descendants of the moon cone nail that were already scared out of their wits, yet it was at this moment, it was unknown which person suddenly screamed out in surprise with a voice that sounded hysterical.

At the moment the five elements demon was about to dash into the place of the outer fringe's entrance, a person with his entire body covered with blood, that was the crazed Wen Leyang dashed out of the place of the outer fringe! The silvery white-colored radiance, the bright red-colored blood, in a situation without any fancy tricks and also without any preparation, they collided together ferociously!

Everyone was stunned, including Wen Leyang and five elements demon who were hugging together.

Just as the endless punishment in the place of the outer fringe was about to arrive, the Great Guiding Formation had taken form, two lone peaks were connected together, the top master cultivators led along a large group of cultivators and attacked the mountain, the big-headed short man knocked the gong and drum wildly, to urge the monsters into killing the enemies, during this period of time, everyone above and below the mountain was feeling a fluctuation of emotions, there was utterly no one that had noticed, within the desperate knocking of the big-headed short man's gong and drum, there were more than just the thousands of monsters in the mountains that were triggered, even those monsters that were supposed to dash into the place of the outer fringe, their aggressive temperament was also provoked completely, such that they turned around and dashed towards the cultivators. The temptation of the place of the outer fringe was not enough to set off their bloodthirsty cravings…

On the outside of the place of the outer fringe there was a messy tangled warfare, on the inside of the place of the outer fringe was also a tangled warfare. Wen Leyang who exhausted the strength of his entire body, together with Chi Maojiu he brought along hundreds of cultivators to run for their lives, he suddenly felt as his body lightened, Wen Leyang truly thought that he was dead at the moment, that was why everything became light and agile, soon after he discovered in surprise, that the continuously surging of the monsters' mighty torrent these days, was surprisingly truly cutoff, stopped and disappeared, while at the same time, the place of the outer fringe behind him collapsed!

Following that, Wen Leyang pounced forward, he bumped right into the five elements demon…

The Great Guiding Formation connected the two lone peaks together in a baffling manner, the large troop of cultivators and monsters were engaged in an arduous battle, the group of demon immortals and sword immortals and the wild burly man who was out of his mind were fighting together, the three arrows of the Salvo was separately blocked by the descendants of the moon cone nail, the moon genus cone nail and the golden monkey, the three persons including Shudou pounced towards Nineteen and her siblings, Wen Leyang and the five elements demon hugged together, little Chi Maojiu was leading the survivors as they tumbled out of the place of the outer fringe in a mess…

Chapter 317: The Final Hit

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Three battle troops broke out simultaneously!

On the edge of the place of the outer fringe, Wen Leyang and the five-element demon collide heavily into each other.

A few years of laborious effort, a chain of schemes, especially for the violent battle that broke out from the two lone peaks that were connected in the end, the five-element demon managed to make it through the launching of the magic formation. Soon, his task was about to be brought to a successful completion, but alas, he was suddenly blocked by Wen Leyang.

The five-element demon was both astonished and infuriated. Within the sound of his muffled roar, the vigorous life vitality in his body completely burst out. He grinded towards Wen Leyang mercilessly!

Wen Leyang felt like he was hugging an ignited gas cylinder on the verge of exploding, that seemed to be attempting to grind, explode and tear himself into mush.

The Poison of Life and Death surged and converged into the mighty poisonous tide in the blink of an eye!

The five-element demon was determined that the immortal master teacher's plan could never fail. Wen Leyang could not fall back, as Chi Maojiu was still behind him. A group of battle companions that shared a life and death situation with him had never left or abandoned him had finally killed their way out.

The demon's lashing was like a monstrous wave. Wen Leyang's counterattack was like a wild storm – two gushes of tremendous force collided together with a loud bang!

In the middle of the battle of the lone peaks, the three people, Shudou, Sir Rust and Hot Immortal Aunt had already launched their supernatural powers. They killed in the direction of Nineteen and the rest mercilessly.

Nineteen had since become dejected. Full Moon, First and Last Quarter Moon's faces were covered in tears, while the four heavenly moon descendants' state of mind, perished along with the moon cone nail's explosion. They stood in a daze as they watched the enemies' treasured weapons and supernatural powers raiding towards them.

Shudou laughed wildly in a savage manner. Sir Rust's face was expressionless, while evil lingered in between the Hot Immortal Aunt's brows.

Soon, the heavenly moon disciples were about to be chopped into a million pieces. The expression of the three descendants of heaven's cone nail changed abruptly in unison. Long vines burst out behind their backs and rolled up without a sign, before smashing down towards them!

When Chi Maojiu dashed out of the place of the outer fringe, Wen Leyang and the demon had already coiled themselves into a ball. He was afraid that he would injure his people, so there was no way he could interrupt. Chi Maojiu did not even see Nineteen and the rest. He only saw the back of the three of them, including Shudou, when they swooped down for an attack. He did not even hesitate before he summoned the black vines immediately, and attacked them!

The three descendants of the heaven's cone nail could not care about executing Nineteen and her siblings. They changed the direction of their bodies due to fear, as they hastily urged their supernatural powers to protect themselves.

Due to the half a moment's delay, the descendants of the moon cone nail had already regained their consciousness. Nineteen who was never fond of showing emotions and often gentle in her tone of speaking, was almost roaring hysterically, "Chop them into eight pieces for me!"

The full moon was akin to a wheel. The new moon was formless, the first and last quarter moon's remaining hooks opened and closed!

Shudou and the rest were attacked from the front and rear, while the descendants of moon cone nail were severely injured. Chi Maojiu on the other hand, was exhausted like an arrow at the end of its flight. The eight top master cultivators were arranged in the middle front and back. They simultaneously urged the life vitality of their entire bodies. After a few of their supernatural powers converged and collided into one another, it exploded with a loud bang!

With only one blow, Chi Maojiu fell onto the ground from exhaustion. The four descendants of the moon cone nail were even more severely injured. Fresh blood poured out of their mouths and flowed uncontrollably.

The three persons including Shudou were ghastly pale. Akin to being drunk, they spun around in circles on the same spot before finally falling onto their rear end…

On the edge of the battle of the lone peaks, a group of demon immortals, sword immortals and Tuo Xie's disciples were fighting desperately with the wild burly man.

Chang Li bit down with her mouth. A gush of blood spurted out from the wild burly man's neck. His body was so strong, there was no way it could be destroyed. He trembled for a while, soon after he fell onto the ground. The savage and tyrannical expression of the burly man, too turned peaceful.

Chang Li suddenly burst out in an agonizing scream. Her pearly white teeth were tainted and drenched in fresh blood, while her entire being somersaulted in midair painfully. When she touched the ground, one of her hands was digging for something desperately from her mouth. Everyone turned pale with fear as they wondered if she had bitten her tongue off or if she had chipped her tooth.

A moment later, Chang Li gave out a muffled humph. She pulled out a black stick of a bone sting from her mouth with her two fingers. The demon immortals on the scene were experienced and knowledgeable; they pondered for a moment before they understood. The wild burly man's spiritual meridians were sealed by this bone, and that was why it was under the control of the big-headed short man's drum and gong. With Chang Li's wild bite, not only did she tear out a chunk of the wild burly man's flesh and skin, she also pulled out the soul-enchanting prohibition spell that was casted by the short man.

The big-headed short man watched helplessly as his force had been removed. He was about to turn around to escape, when the sharp demon blades shot down from the sky. A puff of fresh blood splashed out with the sound of a pop. The demon blade penetrated the top of the short man's head and pinned him onto the ground ferociously.

The moment the short man died, it was as if the monsters from all the mountains and wilderness had their courage drained all at once. They ran away and scattered in the blink of an eye. The large group of cultivators cheered loudly and dashed towards the entrance of the place of the outer fringe madly.

At the entrance of the place of the outer fringe, Wen Leyang gave out a hoarse, muffled humph. He was on the losing end from two trials of wrestling. He staggered as he fell backwards. Just like a marionette with its strings completely broken, his eyes and mouth were askew, his body was trembling, and his limbs were twisted…

The five elements inter-promoted and circulated ceaselessly. Even though Wen Leyang's Poison of Life and Death was incisive, yet it was still missing the final Poison of Fire. With the lack of this portion, there was no way he could shake the demon's body, as it was a fusion of five elements' utmost disposition – perfect to the utmost extent.

Even though the five elements demon had the upper hand, he was also subdued by Wen Leyang's Poison of Life and Death. The force of him dashing towards the place of the outer fringe too was reduced. He was concerned about Kong Nuer's plan in his heart. He could no longer care about pursuing and killing the enemies. At the sound of a roar, he was about to muster his strength to enter the place of the outer fringe once again, when the sounds of wind, thunder and shouts suddenly echoed gradually from all directions!

It was Chang Li, Hanba, Liu Zheng, San Wei, the two silly uncles with their broken ribs, a severely-injured Zhui Zi, and Mimu who had lost her zombie that resulted in vast deterioration of her combat power! A group of top master cultivators stood still; some with savage expressions on their faces, some with eyes brimming with rage, while some with blood flowing down from the corners of their mouths. Streaks upon streaks of water splashed up, creating a storm. The murder intent and malevolent energy that exuded from their bodies had even changed the color of the sky and land!

There was also a giant mountain-like stone tower that shook the sky, before arriving with a loud bang.

The shout of "Break the demon body!" sounded hard and unpleasant, yet it was so familiar it could bring tears to one's eyes. Yin's Error Yang's Mistake appeared out of thin air – ghastly pale yet arrogant; pure black yet domineering.

The old woman Shudou lay limply on the ground; the wrinkles on her old face were straining. She could not believe everything that was happening regardless, that in between the heaven earth, there were so many master cultivators, demon immortals, and cultivators who were enemies with the immortal master teacher!

The five-element demon's eyes were glaring so hard he was almost bleeding. Soon, he was about to be swallowed by the boundless supernatural powers and treasured weapons. He suddenly burst out with a muffled roar that was so hoarse it was almost soundless.

"Conjure the circulation of five elements! Sharp metal! Divine wood! Heavenly water! True fire! Thick earth!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the supernatural powers that were summoned by the group of demon immortals had almost simultaneously lashed onto the five-element demon ferociously. The group realized that the enemy was struck. Before they even had the time to breathe in relief, the five-element demon's yells suddenly echoed within the sound pressure that trembled the earth and swayed the mountains, word by word, "Sharp! Tenacious! Soft! Intense! Heavy!"

A chain of muffled sounds overlapped. The surroundings next to the side of Chang Li and the rest, suddenly turned into purgatory!

A thick and sizable metal chain appeared out of thin air. Countless wooden beams roared, the white silk condensed from the rainstorm rolled up and cleansed the earth, and ceaseless lava spurted out from the rock crevasse. There were also countless gigantic rocks that came attacking from the sky, akin to a storm!

The devil fetus stone tower was split by the metal chain. It tumbled towards the depth of the huge mountain diagonally. Chang Li's back was struck by wooden beams. She was spitting out fresh blood from her mouth. Hanba Fifth Brother's arm was forcefully churned by the rainstorm, Liu Zheng, San Wei, Mumu and the silly uncles…

The purgatory-like supernatural powers had only wreaked havoc in the area with less than a hundred meters' circumference, yet the group of top master cultivators were completely trapped. Almost everyone was severely injured in the blink of an eye. They gathered together and plunged forward from all sides, but there was no way they could free themselves!

The entrance to the place of the outer fringe was in a rainstorm like before, that cleansed away the dust in a mere second. The five-element demon's entire body was dirty. His neck was twisted into an unnatural angle. There were a few demon blades and icicles stabbed into his chest and abdomen. There was even a hole the size of a palm on his lower abdomen that was swelling up with blood…

No one knew about the five-element demon's cultivation base in the past until this moment! The demon forcefully resisted the combined attack that was launched full force by a group of master cultivators. It still managed to survive, and could even conjure a spell to kill the group of enemies who possessed top cultivation base!

The demon did not pay attention to the injuries on his body, nor did he even look at the enemies who were strangled by the five elements world. He was only laughing maniacally, in a ghastly manner, as he walked towards the entrance to the place of the outer fringe with great strides. Just as he was walking faster and faster, he experienced a sudden blur vision, when he was less than a few steps away from entering the place of the outer fringe. Wen Leyang pounced forward and hugged him again!

How could Wen Leyang remember Kong Nuer's plan? In his state of mind, there was only one thought – you hit my wife, so do not even think about leaving!

Of course, there were also Chang Li, Zhui Zi and Hanba… Wen Leyang would risk his life to fight whoever it was that tried to hit them!

In the midst of the hug, the Faulty Punch attacked wildly! The Poison of Life and Death was akin to a nest of snakes that had already accumulated strength and waited for a long while. From Wen Leyang's four limbs and hundreds of bones, the poison pounced towards the enemy in a sinister manner.

The five-element demon was extremely and severely injured too. He did not manage to detach himself from the enemy after a few struggles. Upon being hugged by Wen Leyang once again, he watched helplessly as the endless punishment had already arrived in the place of the outer fringe. The demon roared hoarsely in rage!

The demon had just been severely injured and Wen Leyang was burning with rage. The two monsters that cultivated in the same five elements and cultivation power were completely different. They burst out with all their powers simultaneously, in a flash!

Wen Leyang's Poison of Life and Death fused earth, metal, wood and water, while the demon's life vitality was a simultaneous development of five elements. After the second time of full force collision, both their power of five elements averted one another, while the five elements' power of true fire possessed by the demon, surged past the Poison of Life and Death's entanglement!

Wen Leyang felt that the opponent's strength was akin to a burning-hot, sharp knife that stabbed into his body ferociously.

Just when that portion of heat was hottest to the utmost extent, it already made his entire body's fresh blood, stomach acid, bile and brain boil in agony. Suddenly, a crisp crackling sound echoed from Wen Leyang's chest pocket.

It was just like the sound that the small chunk of icicle made when it fell onto the cobblestone tablet and shattered.

Following that, a gush of cold and refreshing sensation surged up, enshrouding Wen Leyang's entire body in the mere second. Not only did it extinguish that five-element demon's aggressive and threatening power of true fire, it also sent the cold soft water's utmost disposition into the demon's chest.

Zhui Zi who was trapped in the five elements world suddenly bawled aloud and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood ferociously. All her muscles were akin to being yanked out. She fell limply onto the ground; her whole body was trembling in agony, but that smile in her gaze could not be erased regardless!

Chang Li and Zhui Zi had an intimate relationship. She could not care about her severe injuries and hastily helped Zhui Zi stand up. Soon after, she looked at Zhui Zi's eyes and inquired in puzzlement, "Why are you smiling?"

Zhui Zi continued to answer, "He has been carrying it with him all along. He is rather conscientious…"

Chang Li immediately inquired closely, "Who is he? What does he carry along?"

"Wen Leyang, he carried my split body Sword's Resolve with him. It was my gift for him when he got married…"

The five elements' supernatural powers by their sides were wreaking havoc, yet the two demon witches were behaving as if nothing happened. They chatted gleefully and infuriated Hanba, Liu Zheng and the rest that they ended up squalling. They bustled about as they desperately helped the girls block the fatal attacks again and again. Wen Nine on the other hand, was complaining about his pain as he joined the crowd "Hey, what are you chatting about?"

The demon's power of true fire plunged into Wen Leyang's body. The small chunk of Sword's Resolve that belonged to Zhui Zi which Wen Leyang carried along with him was triggered by the fire element. It burst out and bloomed with the power of heavenly water, but at this moment, Wen Leyang had yet to understand the situation.

The demon was already severely injured. His true power was impure; he was even more injured under the entanglement of the Poison of Life and Death. Just as he was about to successfully kill the enemy, his true power was unexpectedly, completely destroyed by the opponent.

The five-element demon resented this so much, that his chest was about to explode. In his mind, the four words, 'break the demon body', swiftly flashed past. In order to end the scene, kill Wen Leyang, and complete the immortal master teacher's oracle, it was afraid that he could only trade his life with one attack.

Just as the demon was about to launch the demon-body breaking spell, a clanging voice that sounded like two pieces of raw iron knocking together, echoed from the back of the demon. His words were enunciated clearly and uttered word-by-word, "Break! The! Demon! Body!"

It was the golden monkey, Qian Ren, whose primordial spirit was almost shattered because it had used itself to shield the life-sacrificing divine arrow, but it was also because of this arrow that the prohibition spell could be removed!

While almost at the same time, a voice that was supposed to sound clear and pleasant, was instead, filled with coldness and cruelness, echoed dully, "Remnant flowers, lacking moon."

Nineteen had stood up, without anyone realizing. Her face was still tainted with two streaks of tears.

Soon after, a stretch of crimson blood rose on the top of the lone peak and on the side of the place of the outer fringe, in an instant!

Two lashes of thick fresh blood separately surged skywards from Nineteen and Qian Ren's body.

Nineteen's arms were completely mangled. It erupted into a pool of moonlight in an unseen world; it was vigorous and scattered. It then transformed into thousands of cold arrows that shot into the five-element demon's spine in unison.

Qian Ren's chest cracked into a savage fissure, yet the monkey seemed to be unaware. He punched heavily and forcefully through the demon's underarm!

The utmost water with utmost Yin and the split body icicle in Wen Leyang's chest pocket counterattacked the demon. Not only did it save Wen Leyang's life at a crucial moment, it also allowed the demon's life vitality to turn murky and lose control of his five elements. Otherwise, even with the moon cone nail's supernatural power and the golden monkey's blasting punch, there was no way they could destroy the demon!

Shudou, Sir Rust and Hot Immortal Aunt were spewing tears of blood. They used their final ounce of strength to summon their supernatural powers and pounced towards Nineteen in unison, but alas, they were blocked by the flesh bodies of the three siblings – Full Moon, First and Last Quarter Moon. They laughed wildly. Where the radiance had vanished, the mists of blood still remained as foggy as before…

Chi Maojiu too jumped up. He summoned a vital fire the size of a match stick's tip…

Then, with the vital fire the size of a match stick's tip, he summoned a black vine, as thick as a chopstick…

Finally, the black vine was very bold. it surged towards the five-element demon unsteadily…

The last ultimate kill had made the surroundings suddenly quiet down. The five-element demon had his spine completely blasted apart, and the area below his underarm had pierced through all the way to his chest, releasing Wen Leyang. At the entrance of the place of the outer fringe that was a stone's throw away, he opened his mouth as if he was about to say something, yet his voice was silenced by the gurgling blood stream.

Following that, the strong and tough body slowly tumbled over, as light as a dandelion blowing away in the wind, yet the moment he came into contact with the ground, it was akin to a resolute porcelain ware. It was shattered into pieces abruptly!

The Sword's Resolve icicles, the heavenly moon's supernatural power and Qian Ren's frantic bashing – with its combined power, the five-element demon that was initially on its last few breaths, had now become lifeless.

The moment the demon died, the five elements' supernatural powers that were summoned by him too vanished without a trace. The group of top master cultivators tumbled onto the ground in a rumble.

It was at this moment, that the old demon rabbit, Rangjung and the rest had led along the large troop of people to come dashing over. Every great battle that was encountered by Wen Leyang was as such – with the dread, the vigour, and even the speed had startled the world!

Just as everything had ended, and even before anyone could manage to speak, a tiny person the size of a palm with a body glowing with golden light suddenly bored out from the five-element demon's already-scattered corpse.

The demon was already dead. His primordial spirit had escaped, but it was babbling loudly in rage, as it spread its legs and ran off!

Even though Wen Leyang was exhausted, his sight remained as good as before. He had already witnessed the appearance of the five-element demon's primordial spirit in a flash. It shocked him. The primordial spirit's appearance was extremely different from that of the demon. It was apparently the appearance of the heavily-moustached man from the battle of Mount Hua.

Chang Li was shocked and infuriated. She shrieked, "Stop it, capture it!"

Before his voice died away, at the sound of a strange croak, the mad toad Red Pot moved past the crowd in an awe-inspiring manner. It opened its huge mouth and swallowed the demon's primordial spirit.

Shudou, Sir Rust and Hot Immortal Aunt were detained. The group of immortal master teacher's inferiors were completely annihilated. Even though the cultivators were suffering from heavy casualties, they managed to achieve great victory in the battle regardless.

However, the demon's primordial spirit that appeared in the end had confused the group of master cultivators.

The crowd of people could not care about pondering too much. They bustled about as they distributed the Centipede Grass' leaves. Nineteen and the golden monkey who were dying managed to survive.

Red Pot shook its head and laughed, "There's no need to waste your time to ponder over this. Even the evil soul is refined and dissolved by me – this one cannot escape as well! It will not take long before I can dissolve him. By then, everything will be revealed as clear as day naturally…"

Nineteen's voice sounded so light, it did not carry an ounce of emotion, "It does not matter even if it is not clarified. The demon failed on the verge of success. Kong Nuer will certainly die too!"

The five-elements demon was planning to seize the power of endless punishment in the place of the outer fringe. It was an important matter that involved Kong Nuer's life and death. Now that the demon had failed, it was afraid that Kong Nuer was about to face an imminent disaster too.

It was only then that Wen Leyang removed the split body, Sword's Resolve, that belonged to Zhui Zi pitifully. A moment later, he looked towards Nineteen, Zhui Zi and the golden monkey as if he was deep in thoughts. He then frowned as he spoke, "The big flat cake, broken gong, and dog had combined their powers to kill the five-element demon. That is equal to killing Kong Nuer…"

It was at this moment, that Wen Leyang had finally understood Wen Shulin's prophecy. 'The big flat cake, broken gong and dog' was truly referring to the descendants of moon cone nail. The heavenly water, ice cone nail and the golden monkey Qian Ren, were the crucial personages who killed Kong Nuer!

A moment later, Wen Leyang shook his head, "The act of killing the demon… theoretically, I am considered to have a hand in this too right…? So what am I?"

Mumu finally met Wen Leyang once again. Her eyes were reddened as she held his arm. She was almost in tears as she spoke, "Your'e my husband!"

Chapter 318: I Do Not Believe

The five-element demon was executed. The descendants of the heaven's cone nails were detained or died tragically. There was only Nineteen who survived out of the four Heavenly Moon disciples.

Without the leadership of the drum sounds, the monsters that covered the entire mountain and wilderness too no longer troubled the cultivators. The monsters were like a falling tide. They fell back and dispersed in all directions. It was unknown if the monsters were lying dormant once again, or if they were creating troubles in the mortal world.

The reinforcement who came to Shiwan Mountain and the survivors from the place of the outer fringe were all in a hopeless situation. When they suddenly received the divine providence, not only did they manage to escape death, but win a victorious battle. Their cheering sound shook the entire mountain valley. All sorts of treasured weapons accompanied by the sound of thunder, continuously resolved into a multitude of colors within the rainstorm akin to fireworks. The Shiwan Mountain that was initially ghastly and sinister, turned into a shimmering immortal mountain in the blink of an eye!

A group of top master cultivators each consumed the Centipede Grass. They held their breaths and concentrated on healing their injuries.

Both Wen Leyang and Chi Maojiu were not severely injured. They were only exhausted and lethargic. They would only need to rest and recuperate for a few days, there was no need to waste the immortal grass on them.

There was a rainstorm in the huge mountain that was washing away the corpses and blood mist. By daybreak, the rainstorm still had no intention to stop. On the contrary, it grew heavier and heavier. There was a sign of mountain torrents, the evil mountain was enshrouded in a gloomy rain mist. The booming sound of water was heard occasionally from afar and up close, tainting the stretch of sky and land with deadly energy!

The sky was dim and dark. The wild burly man suddenly somersaulted. His eyes were as wide as bronze bells. He looked to the large group of cultivators around him. Wen Leyang hastily stood up. Just as he was about to explain the sequence of events, the wild man suddenly screamed out in surprise, "Telegnosis ability! Evil cave! Some idiot bit me?" He stretched out his hand and touched the bite by Chang Li on the back of his neck. He did not pay attention to the crowd around him, or did he bother to ask about what actually happened. He howled wildly all the way, running towards the depth of the huge mountain!

The master cultivators who were depending on the immortal grass to heal their injuries, suddenly opened their eyes. They gazed at one another with a forced smile.

The demon immortals and sword immortals extracted the medicinal effect. They depended on their life vitality to transport and transform the medicinal effect. Their spiritual intelligence was conscious all along, there was no need for them to fall into a coma after consuming the immortal grass like Wen Leyang.

Meanwhile the old monk Ji Fei suddenly squalled. The large troop immediately fled with a loud bang. Thousands of treasured weapons were raised in the blink of an eye. Thousands of people pinched into the magic conjuration gesture and chanted incantation. The entire lone peak turned into a chaotic mess all at once.

The old monk hastily waved his hands, "There is no enemy. It is the place of the outer fringe… the place of the outer fringe has revealed itself!"

The place of the outer fringe that was supposed to be hidden in the void, was slowly revealing its trace. It was akin to a gigantic yet transparent bubble, suddenly appearing before the crowd. A luscious yet magnificent radiance was circulating ceaselessly above the outer shell of the place of the outer fringe. The situation that was taking place inside, was a purgatory without reservation!

On the inside of the place of the outer fringe, layers of divine thunder were closely knit like spider web. Thunder flashed past in a swift yet seemingly unstoppable manner. The monsters that were trapped inside were seized with terror. The monsters widened their mouths as they screamed out in agony soundlessly. Every time the thunder struck, there was a puff of fresh blood that surged skywards. Remnant limbs and flesh could be seen anywhere.

The monsters with mighty strength gathered underneath the waves of heaven's power. They urged their inherent rare art desperately, resisting and dissolved the thunder. In the end they were still blasted into pieces.

Heaven's damnation, all matters on earth diminished!

The cultivators who had just encountered a chain of tragic battles were staring in bewilderment at the power of endless punishment.

Although severely injured, Zhui Zi still cracked a gentle smile at Wen Leyang. She explained to him softly, "The endless punishment in the place of the outer fringe has already reached its most intense point. That is why it reveals its form from the void. When the punishment ends, the place of the outer fringe will then shrink and disappear once again, returning to the chaos. It will stay still for millenniums and mega annums. Then it will transform into the small sky and land, that is a whole world of its own once again…"

Zhui Zi was halfway through her speech when she suddenly shut her mouth. She raised her pointy and charming chin, she did not blink once as she looked towards the dark cloudy sky. Within her always piteous gaze, a dash of sinister coldness suddenly exploded, "There is a punishment cloud that has floated here in the sky!"

The endless punishment in the place of the outer fringe, was the business of that small sky and land itself, the punishment cloud would never float to the outside.

Wen Leyang raised his head and looked up to the sky. As expected, within the boundless dark clouds, there was a cloud that was obviously darker in color. It was nauseating, floating in a slow yet heavy pace.

The martial art fanatic San Wei was startled. His gaze was moving back and forth on his group of companions, "Which one amongst all of you, is going to cross the god's punishment?"

Zhui Zi laughed on the other hand. She enunciated her answer clearly, word by word, "Kong Nuer!" Her laughter was sharp yet agitated. She was like a she-wolf that had lost its young cub, finally picking up the smell of the enemy's blood!

Wen Leyang's mind was humming continuously. He inhaled a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart desperately, "Kong Nuer… is around here too?"

The five-element demon's scheme in the place of the outer fringe was related to Kong Nuer's life and death.

Kong Nuer spent his lifetime fiddling with magic formations. He wanted to depend on the power of magic formation to mitigate the god's punishment. This time was no exception either, but in the end his plan failed. This immortal master teacher who was supposed to ascend to heaven as an immortal, and depended on despicable means to forcefully remain in the mortal world, was finally going to welcome his own punishment cloud.

That stretch of dark cloud most probably belonged to Kong Nuer. Unless there was another top master cultivator nearby who was about to cross the god's punishment.

The fat monk Shui Jing swallowed his saliva. He spoke to the old monk Ji Fei, "This punishment cloud… the direction that it is floating towards, is precisely the location where the third group of master cultivators are at."

The fat monk's Art of Spirit-Searching found the third group of master cultivators in the huge mountain. Everyone removed the puppets that were led by Red Pot. The descendants of the immortal master teacher led by the five-element demon earlier, believed that the third person was actually the wild burly man.

The violent battle earlier was too horrifying, such that no one had expected that the wild burly man and the five-element demon were actually together. Within the fat monk's Art of Spirit-Searching, they were the same group of people.

Zhui Zi had never laughed in such a joyous manner. She had never acted ruthlessly even less. She could not care that the injuries on her body had yet to recover by even ten percent. She stood up with great effort. As the wild rain poured, she tracked the punishment cloud as she walked towards the depth of the huge mountain! The cold and sharp water arrows struck her body. It roused up a puff of breathtaking beauty that made one feel pity for!

Ever since the three enlightened persons with the Tian-word generation name from the Black and White Island were murdered, Liu Zheng regarded Zhui Zi as his senior. He chased after her in quick strides and grabbed her arm, "If it were truly Kong Nuer, the situation would be very dangerous…"

If it were truly Kong Nuer who was crossing the punishment, just by depending on his abilities, he may not necessarily involve the people nearby in the great punishment. In the ancient times, there was a legend of a profound cultivator who wished to perish together with the enemy. In the final moment, he released his life vitality to trigger the god's punishment desperately. Finally he was blasted into stone powder with the enemy.

Unexpectedly, Zhui Zi shook off Liu Zheng's hand with a wave of her arm. Her voice sounded cold enough to cut through metal, "If I cannot witness his death, then what is the necessity for me to live?"

Wen Leyang too followed to persuade her initially. Upon hearing Zhui Zi's resolute words he immediately steered over to her side, "That is correct! Let us go and take a look."

Chang Li burst out laughing, "To be able to witness Kong Nuer get struck by the thunder to death, anything is worthwhile!", she stood up and followed Zhui Zi.

Hanba too laughed as he stood up. His laughter sounded more dreadful and crueler than a hyena's cry.

The group of demon immortals and sword immortals stood up. They were clenching their teeth in pain, their eyes were shining brighter than one another. They supported one another, as they could fall down at any moment. Their footsteps did not slow down at all, they left chasing after the punishment cloud.

The large group of cultivators too, became high spirited. They jumped up in disarray and followed. The little supreme leader Liu Zheng was ditched by Zhui Zi. He laughed shyly, then he stretched out his hand to stop the large troop of people. He persuaded them out of kindness, "This is a gravely dangerous matter. Kong Nuer is even less of a trivial person. Please listen to Liu Zheng's sincere words. If that madman was to launch an attack, not only are all of you incapable of helping, but you will cause the entire cultivation world to be buried with him…"

Before he could finish his sentence, someone from the rogue cultivators became infuriated, "The old father pursued for such a long time. The ending is about to dawn, yet you do not even allow the old father to take a look!"

Liu Zheng was talking to himself. Other than his Kunlun disciples, the rest of the people from the large troop of cultivators pretended not to hear him. Some were chatting and laughing as they passed by…

The punishment cloud floated all the way and guided the personages from almost the entire cultivation world. As they dashed towards the depth of the huge mountain, there were a few occasions the dark cloud on the sky became too thick and heavy. The punishment cloud was concealed, then the fat monk Shui Jing was tasked to show the direction. It was only until the sky darkened once again, the crowd turned into a mountain valley that appeared utterly non eye-catching.

The mountain valley was only the size of half a football field. The moment they entered the place, everyone including the top demon immortals' and Tuo Xie's disciples' telegnosis ability turned into a stretch of misty grey.

Someone had guided in some incisive magic power, concealing everyone's telegnosis ability. In the mountain valley, they could only see with their eyes, and hear with their ears.

The place was surrounded by hills. The rainstorm converged into a silver-colored water curtain that firmly covered the color of the rock walls. In front of the crowd, there was a cave that could be seen indistinctly on the mountain wall, but the color of the water was too indistinct, no one could see the cave clearly.

The thick and heavy punishment cloud stopped above the mountain wall faintly. It was quiet and did not budge.

Wen Leyang and the few demon immortals stood side by side at the head of the troop. Before them, were a few skeletons that had already lost their skin and flesh, lying messily across the ground. Under the rainwater's beatings, the skeletons gave out a loud creaking noise that sounded very hollow.

Zhui Zi inhaled a deep breath. Just as she was about to take a step forward, Wen Leyang suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled her behind him. It was unknown if it was due to excitement, or due to fear, that his entire body was trembling vigorously, "There is… a strong poison prohibition spell that seals the place!" He inhaled strenuously, yet his voice quivered, "The grand master grandfather's… Poison of Aqua Blue!"

There was only silence and the pattering sound of raindrops. The silence capable of urging and seizing the soul.

Chang Li did not speak of a word for a long while. She was so quiet, as if she was trying to suppress herself so much the world would explode. Her body swayed as she dashed towards the land of strong poison. Wen Leyang waved his hand once in exasperation. How was he going to toss Zhui Zi back? How was he going to toss Chang Li back as well?

Chang Li had already lost her spirit and soul. Her body tumbled onto the ground limply and splashed mud water. She also splashed up the sound of a weird cry. No one could tell if it was a cry, a laugh, a sorrowful shout or a savage howl!

Zhui Zi did not even once glance at the others. She glared straight into the indistinct cave. She enunciated her words clearly as she roared softly, "Are you in there? Are you, Kong Nuer?"

A slight droopy voice sounded, as if the person was suffering from a serious sickness, echoed softly, "Lin Li, it is me!"

Zhui Zi gave out a squeak. It was a laugh that sounded like a duck's quack. Before she could manage to speak, a thick and heavy voice that Wen Leyang seemed to know, asked in puzzlement, "What are you saying?"

The two voices echoed from the cave.

Chang Li squeezed out a hiss from in between her chest ferociously, exerting every ounce of strength for the past two thousand years, "Tuo Xie!" At the same time, the demon cat's body was blooming with a demonic power that lifted up the heavy downpour in midair!

The barren hill's rainstorm stopped. The rainwater accumulated into a blue lake. With one drop of crystal clear tear, it soon split up. Following Chang Li's mouthful of ghastly fresh blood, it crushed everyone's heart!

Wen Leyang was probing at the strong Poison of Aqua Blue. It was still as sharp and strong as the Desert Rebel Mountain. Moreover, the greatness of the toxicity was not something he was capable of withstanding. If he were to speak courteously, with every single cultivator of the same profession tossed into this tiny mountain valley, there may not necessarily be one person who was capable of dashing into the stone cave.

Kong Nuer's laughter sounded a little disturbing. His laugher carried a sense of unspeakable comfort, "The cave is casted with my magic spell. He cannot hear the voices from the outside, he can only hear my words."

Tuo Xie interrupted like he was banging on a drum, "It is useless. It is useless for you to say anything. Unless you die, I will keep continuing my effort to block you."

Kong Nuer's tone was unnoticeably helpless, "Two thousand years ago, it was the demon cat who destroyed my demon-suppressing great formation. She ruined my important matter. It was not me who harmed the demon cat. It is also fine that you stopped me for two thousand years, but you ought to speak sensibly anyhow. I am the one at a loss obviously…"

Tuo Xie laughed and spoke, "It is precisely because you were at a loss first. I was afraid that you would seek revenge, that is why I came here to block you."

Everyone wanted to cry, scream or go mad. Everyone made the same wild guess before. However, no one would dare to believe that the Pickle Jar Tuo Xie, could truly block the immortal master teacher Kong Nuer, with an exceedingly high cultivation base in this mountain valley for two thousand years!

Kong Nuer heaved a sigh. He spoke to the people outside in an amused and angry manner, "This Tuo Xie person, he is very stubborn!"

Tuo Xie did not acknowledge anyone on the outside. He burst out laughing a, "You are an old demon with an exceedingly high cultivation base. In comparison to our mentality, I am weaker than you by thousands of times!"

Kong Nuer chuckled and answered, "You are too modest."

"However," Tuo Xie was not courteous at all actually, "I do not care about anything else. I can only confirm one matter – that is to kill you! If I cannot kill you, then I shall never allow you to leave! You can have a hundred obsessions, a thousand schemes, a million thoughts, but it is useless."

What sort of person was Kong Nuer? He was willing to risk his life to seize the abode of the god level body. He applied small tricks to borrow Qian Ren's body to trigger the Gou Mang's spiritual seed. No one in the entire world was worthy to compare to the depths of his scheming and the thoroughness of his plan. He was blocked in the rock cave by Tuo Xie for two thousand years. It was unknown how many methods he had used, yet he was unable to leave the rock cave.

I do not care about anything else, I can only confirm one matter – that is to kill you!

Two thousand years ago, there was one person who was extremely intelligent and another who was stubborn headed. They have been having a match of strength ever since, until now.

Even though he could not see, Wen Leyang could sense that Kong Nuer was shrugging. With a forced smile he said, "The demon cat is outside."

"I do not believe you."

Kong Nuer was rather patient, "My scheme had failed. The demon cat led a group of ineffective underlings and killed Second Brother. There should be some of your disciples and disciple's disciples amongst the troop."

"I do not believe you!"

Kong Nuer was laughing, "My god's punishment has already arrived. Yet you are still blocking my way, so you are going to be buried with me."

"I do not believe you!"

The group of people were greatly startled upon hearing the conversation. The martial art fanatic San Wei raised his flying sword, he suddenly shouted, "Suffer!" His divine sword was akin to the floating light and passing shadow, as it flew towards the small rock cave. He was attempting to remind Tuo Xie that there were people outside.

The flying sword with imposing mannerisms flew until the strong poison prohibition spell hit. It suddenly gave out half a sorrowful hum, it struggled and twisted about, then tumbled onto the ground. It was tainted into the color of aqua blue in the blink of an eye.

The martial art fanatic San Wei screamed out in surprise as he tumbled onto the ground. Even the top sword immortal's treasured weapon could not pass through the strong poison prohibition spell by Tuo Xie.

Everybody was horrified. They knew that Kong Nuer's statement about the god's punishment was true. Chang Li, who was supposed to be the most nervous, had since forgotten where she was. She was kindled with pride and a smile that only belonged to a lover.

Even Hanba who did not care about the relationship between men and women too became impatient, he turned his head to the side and roared softly to Chang Li, "Think of a way quick…"

Chang Li shook her head, "Even if he could see and hear what's outside… Even if I could tell him about the things that only the both of us knew, he will still say the same words – I do not believe!"

"This person here has never looked back willingly." Chang Li laughed again, she sounded relaxed, yet brilliant, "All of you do not know him, the decision that he has made and confirmed. He will never change anymore, he will never come out before Kong Nuer is dead."

Kong Nuer changed his restless tone. He suddenly laughed loudly, "What a good demon cat. You are still the one who knows this pickle jar best. If that is not the case, how will he trap me here for two thousand years?"

Tuo Xie gave out a clanging muffled roar, "Do not give me that, I do not believe you!"

Everyone was concerned about Tuo Xie. There was only Chang Li who remained the calmest after the excitement. She was laughing in a baffling manner, regardless of whether Tuo Xie could hear her, "I like the bustling and dazzling mortal world with its myriad temptations, two thousand years later. It is very interesting. I like the beautiful clothes and shoes two thousand years later. It is very good looking. I like bullying others. The top master cultivators two thousand years later are very simple and honest. I like standing high above the masses. The disciples and disciple's disciples two thousand years later are also very filial."

Chang Li stretched out her hand and slowly covered the red scar on her neck, "When I left the mountain cave, I was not afraid that you were dead. If you were dead, then I shall accompany you, it is not a big deal. Yet in the past decade, I have grown more afraid that you are already gone, because I am growing fonder of the world. That is why I hope that you are still alive. So you can accompany me to take a ride on a steamboat as large as a small hill. So you can accompany me to stroll around the mall that is filled with mirrors. So you can accompany me to savor the taste of beer brewed using wheat…"

As she was saying that, Chang Li's eyes brightened, "There is a place, there is a tower there, that leans for centuries. It has yet to topple. The first time I saw that tower, I could not help but to bend my neck. I was thinking at the time that when I found you, I would certainly make you push over that tower on behalf of me. If it were to topple over, everyone would feel more steady…"

"That is all. Every time I arrive at one place, I will be thinking about how it feels like if you are right beside me. The more I think the happier I become, the more I am unwilling to die. Yet the world is so huge, I just could not find you… I could not find you!"

At this point, Chang Li suddenly bawled.

She only cried once.

"I am addicted to this dazzling human world with its myriad temptations, that is why I am afraid that you are already dead. Not that I am unwilling to leave with you, but I am afraid that the thought of you accompanying me as we live happily ever after, is lost!"

"To feel the willingness, to feel the unwillingness, is this how it feels to be human? All thanks to you!"

"When I am ready to follow you as you leave any time, only then I can finally understand. I am living happily for you. Only then I can live free and unfettered, happily for you!"

"If you were to die, then I will… crash the small hill-like steamboat, collapse the mall that is filled with mirrors, burn all the wheat in the world, push over that leaning tower, then I shall follow you as you leave!"

"Yet right now, you are not dead. I will not shed a tear. I will not fool around. I will not turn mad, I will not feel sad, I will wait for you!"

"I will wait for you to die as well as for you to live. I will wait to accompany you as we travel around the world. I will also wait to bury your corpse. I will wait to bear ten children for you. I will also wait for people to mourn you as a dead parent!"

"I know that you are willing to die for me. The pain I feel in my heart cannot be surpassed. Even if the sky were to collapse at this moment, if all of Tuo Xie's descendants were to use a cane and as they scold 'You are the demon witch who caused the death of my family's grand master', I will still be feeling proud in my heart secretly. For in the entire world, Tuo Xie, the person that I love, is willing to die for only me alone."

When she was done speaking her last words, Chang Li stretched out a hand and wiped away the tear mark on her face and the blood stain on the corner of her mouth. Then she pulled out the little supreme leader Liu Zheng's sword, using it as a mirror to reflect her unsurpassed beauty. She started putting on makeup…

Chapter 319: The Mud

Zhui Zi helped Chang Li comb the long hair that hung over her forehead.

Chang Li smiled gently. She pointed to the punishment cloud in the sky, "There is not much time for him. If you have anything else to ask, make the best use of your time."

Zhui Zi had yet to speak when the martial art fanatic San Wei inquired first, "Kong Nuer, whether it was you, or that unfortunate bastard god level body, had already achieved mastery in your cultivation… You were still hanging on in the mortal world and refused to cross the god's punishment and ascend to heaven as an immortal. What was the reason actually?"

The punishment cloud stopped midair. There was no way to tell when it would explode.

Kong Nuer's answer sounded a little baffling, "When earth was first separated from heaven and the chaotic world was broken, the heavenly bodies were not in good positions and the world was not wholesome. In the primitive ages, great calamity happened continuously and heavy flood spread all over the place. In the ancient times, demons wreaked havoc while ghosts and monsters ran wild… Yet, it was the humans who were the frailest in the world, multiplied generations after generations ceaselessly. Not only did they become the wisest of all creatures, but they also operated heaven and earth with such emotions!"

The martial art fanatic San Wei did not understand Kong Nuer's words. He sneered as he interrupted, "Yet before you ascended into the heaven as an immortal, you were a human too. Do not describe yourself like you are a deity!"

Kong Nuer did not take that seriously at all. His voice even sounded like it was filled with smiles, "You are right! Precisely because I was a human too. That was why I felt proud and interested. That was why I wanted to stay behind, to see what kind of place would the world turn into. To see how humans evolved and lived!"

The few demon immortals and sword immortals gazed at one another. No one had expected that the reason for Kong Nuer's refusal to ascend to heaven as an immortal was so surprisingly strange.

Kong Nuer himself was completely unaware on the other hand. He gave out a burst of laughter that sounded a little self-mocking, but filled with satisfaction, "That was my god level body's intention. He wanted to stay behind to watch the ending of this great movie! I did not understand that earlier. I succeeded at seizing the abode afterward, I read the history of the heaven and earth that was recorded by him. I was immersed deep in it. The movie that he did not manage to watch until the end… I truly wanted to continue watching."

Kong Nuer heaved a sigh as if he had yet to express himself fully, "I am not willing to leave yet!"

The rest of the people had yet to think of what to say, when Tuo Xie's laughter echoed out from the rock cave, "This is also considered a share of your thoughts and feelings."

Kong Nuer and the demon immortals and sword immortals on the outside were answering and questioning. Tuo Xie did not try to analyze if the people on the outside were actually his own people. He listened to a point that piqued his interest, before chiming in conveniently.

The two opponents who were like inherent enemies. In two thousand years within the tiny rock cave, they had a match of strength, heart, and tenacity. Other than hitting and killing, they would frequently converse with each other for a while.

During this period of time, despite Kong Nuer's schemes and psychological attacks, there was even more of the two person's boredom from not seeing the light of day for two thousand years. In Tuo Xie's perception, chatting and laughing was one thing, and scolding each other was another. If Kong Nuer was in a bad mood, he would even console him. Regardless of what Tuo Xie was speaking, Kong Nuer could never wish to leave this place for eternity!

"This is more than just my share of thoughts and feelings; it is also my wishes! I wished that I could continue watching all the way, to watch until the end of the world. To see how it is operated by the humans to the end!" Kong Nuer burst out laughing, "In wilder words, when the three great formations were still holding strong, when I was at my peak, the act of moving mountains and shifting seas was as easy as breathing. In my eyes, the mortal people were no different from ants. I precisely enjoy looking at the ants!"

At this point, Kong Nuer's voice suddenly grew louder and shook the entire sky's dark clouds. The immortal master teacher's domineering mannerisms misted all over in the blink of an eye!

"Take a look at the four corners of the world. The three sects of strength, intelligence and magic consider me as the god. In my perception, the world is nothing but a stretch of tiny courtyards. The humans are a bush of wildflowers while I am the only wild beast. I can act recklessly without restraint. If the mountain appears offensive to my eyes, I raise my hand and blast it into flat ground. If the river appears offensive to my eyes, I stomp my foot and sink it into the earth's core. I like that bush of wildflowers solely. Seeing it grow roots, grow a new leaf, flower bud, I feel an indescribable joy. Seeing it grow more pleasant, more magnificent, I will then feel happy from the bottom of my heart!"

Tuo Xie was laughing joyously too, "Wild beast and wildflowers, this analogy sounds very interesting, and also very well-applied." He paused for a moment, then he laughed as he spoke, "Everyone is just the same. Everyone is living for that wish for themselves."

Kong Nuer's voice suddenly turned lonely, "Soon I will not be watching anymore."

Kong Nuer's voice once again regained its prior restlessness, he spoke to the people on the outside, "All of you are here to witness my death, and also to ask for clarification. Very well, I shall grant all of you a clarification!" He did not wait for the others to inquire any more; he started talking about history.

The events that took place in the beginning, was almost the same as Zhui Zi, Chang Li and the rest's prediction. Kong Nuer's god level body cast a spell that turned his split body into the tools capable of absorbing spiritual vitality. The split body First Brother led the Landhopper on the wasteland, he spent all day blasting at the chaos' giant egg. The split body Second Brother was on the Desert Rebel Mountain, he used his body to suppress Red Pot. The mighty force generated from these two magic formations was transmitted from the split bodies to the god level body, and used to avert the god's punishment for the god level body.

The two split bodies Second Brother and Third Brother's memories were altered by the god level body as such. They forgot the identity of their split bodies.

Following that, Xiang Liu came looking for trouble. The god level body designed the Black and White Island's great formation of heaven's cone nail. He received the chain of plans launched by the Third Brother, who successfully seized his abode. In the end, the heavenly water's lineage was exterminated. The nine heaven's cone nails were completed. The primordial spirit of Kong Nuer's god level body was separated into nine portions and refined into the heaven's cone nails.

After Xiang Liu was suppressed, the demon-suppressing great formation on the Black and White Island was just the same as the two magic formations on the wasteland and Desert Rebel Mountain. It started transmitting spiritual vitality to the new Kong Nuer endlessly.

Kong Nuer gave a forced laugh, "Everything was very well initially. Then two thousand years ago, something happened!"

Chang Li suddenly laughed, the pride on her charming face could not be washed away by the storm.

The grand master, Tuo Xie, too laughed in the mountain cave.

"The events that took place afterward… you should be the one who talks about it. Just think of it as talking to me!" Kong Nuer gave an unpleasant grunt at Tuo Xie. Yet it made him feel fresher.

It seemed that he was no longer that immortal master teacher who stood high above the masses, with a bellyful of schemes, with a cultivation base so deep it was unfathomable. He was just a man with flesh and blood.

"I shall talk about it then!" Tuo Xie continued to laugh, "That bimbo Chang Li!"

Chang Li widened her eyes, she hastily pulled Wen Leyang aside, "What does bimbo mean?"

Wen Leyang dared not tell her the meaning.

Two thousand years ago, Tuo Xie travelled a great distance to the Black and White Island. He found out that there were not only three sword immortals with the Tian-word name generation on the Black and White Island. There was also an immortal master teacher with an exceedingly high cultivation base above them. Tuo Xie was going to bear the responsibility of the demon cat's trouble. Under the guidance of Tian Yin's true soul, he immediately departed for the Desert Rebel Mountain.

"I had since made the decision at the time that no one was allowed to live on Desert Rebel Mountain! Whoever wished to hurt Chang Li… I would kill the person."

Following that Tuo Xie killed a whole lot of people on Desert Rebel Mountain. The disciples and master cultivators serving the seat of the split body Second Brother, were all killed by him!

Chang Li was well aware of this section of past events. When she listened to Tuo Xie's personal description at this moment, she still could not suppress the joy in her heart. She was beaming with happiness as she displayed her pride.

Tuo Xie's hummed, "But in the end, when I saw the heavily-moustached man, I realized that something was wrong. His soul was tempered by someone!"

Tuo Xie's body possessed the forceful, domineering poison power. It was acquired from three arts fused into one. Qing Miao clan's birth year spell or the Mourning Sect's Art of Corpse Control, were all combined with the profound method of controlling souls. Tuo Xie had already stripped his witchcraft power at the time, yet his vision remained strong as ever. He could see the heavily-moustached man on Desert Rebel Mountain and his primordial spirit was polished through a spell cast by someone.

Tuo Xie was greatly startled. Not only was he astonished that such unusual art existed in the world, he was even more afraid that the heavily-moustached man on Desert Rebel Mountain was not the real master of the Black and White Island. That there was an even more incisive enemy behind him who was sharpening his knife as he was waiting to get revenge on Chang Li.

Tuo Xie's voice grew louder and clearer, "The heavily-moustached man on Desert Rebel Mountain was albeit incisive, in order for him to kill. I may not necessarily get injured. On the mountainside, I intentionally endured one stab of his sword in order to remember the strength of his life vitality. Soon after, I urged the birth year spell and destroyed his body to urge his primordial spirit into leaving!"

The person who was suppressing Red Pot on Desert Rebel Mountain, was the split body second Brother. Under the influence of his destroyed dharma body and his severely-injured primordial spirit, it was not the spiritual intelligence that drove the soul into escaping, but his instinct.

Prompted by his instinct, Second Brother's primordial spirit transformed into the golden light and escaped towards Shiwan Mountain.

Tuo Xie seemed to be smiling joyously on usual days and in harmony with the rest of the world. Yet once he launched his skill, he would certainly use his method of wrath. He endured the split body Second Brother's one stab, in order to remember the genus and traits of the other party's power of life vitality – so that he could track the primordial spirit.

Kong Nuer laughed as he chimed in from the side, "To be able to have such a bastard like you as my enemy, is considered the good fortune of my cultivation!" Kong Nuer continued Tuo Xie's topic of conversation, "At the time, I already knew that the water element heaven's cone nail was destroyed. As for the Heavenly Water's lineage, I killed every single one of them including the sect leader Lin Li to the manservant who was sweeping the snow down below. How was I going to find another primordial spirit who had cultivated in the purest water to produce a heaven's cone nail again? In order to mend the great formation, I could only forcefully tear off a portion of my primordial spirit to refine the heaven's cone nail."

The demon immortals and sword immortals on the outside dared not even think of this form of incredulous magic art. However, after Kong Nuer tore off his primordial spirit, he was severely injured. Before he could manage to condense the new heaven's cone nail to take form, the split body Second Brother's primordial soul then escaped.

Kong Nuer could not bear to see Second Brother end up as a scattered and dispersed soul. He did not know that there was another unlucky person who had arrived. Due to his severe injuries, he risked the exhaustion of his primordial spirit. With the five elements of utmost disposition, he remoulded Second Brother's body.

Similar to when the grand master, Lue Luo, cast the witchcraft spell that remoulded Zhui Zi, the magic formation arranged by Kong Nuer had the split body Second Brother sleep for a full two thousand years. He had only awakened four years ago.

Wen Leyang had only understood that the five-element demon was the big moustache man from Desert Rebel Mountain. It was only after his dharma body was killed by the grand master's poison, Kong Nuer then remoulded a new body for him.

While Zhui Zi was also suddenly enlightened, she understood why the Great Guiding Formation connected the two huge mountains together during a fierce battle with the monsters on Shiwan Mountain.

The Great Guiding Formation that was passed down by Kong Nuer to the descendants of heaven's cone nail, was the guiding destination to where the split body was! The split body First Brother on the wasteland was still alive, while the Second Brother had yet to wake up. That was why the wasteland was guided in. Yet this time the First Brother was already dead. The place that was guided in was then the lone peak where the Second Brother and a group of immortal master teacher's inferiors were at.

Kong Nuer's cultivation base had exceeded too much as compared to Tuo Xie's. Due to his severe injuries including tearing off his primordial spirit, Tuo Xie's sudden attack, and the almost god-like Art of Poison; in the end, he could only fall back into the rock cave where he used his power of origin to open.

This rock cave was a small world that was condensed using Kong Nuer's high cultivation base. Otherwise, in an ordinary rock cave, even if Kong Nuer was injured any more severely, it would be impossible for him to be trapped.

And because of that, under Kong Nuer's management, Tuo Xie was incapable of attacking his way into the rock cave. Kong Nuer would need to urge his life vitality at all times to resist Tuo Xie. Naturally, he did not have the opportunity to heal his injuries, nor run away from the cave.

Before Tuo Xie entered the cave, he laid down a strong poison around the mountain valley to ward off Kong Nuer's reinforcement. The skeletons in the mountain valley were the master cultivators that Kong Nuer gathered as his trusted subordinates after the Black and White Island's great formation was completed. These people's cultivation base was only stronger than the descendants of heaven's cone nail, yet no one managed to charge past the prohibition spell.

One of the two master cultivators was there for his lover, and the other was there because he did not want to cross the god's punishment. They spent two thousand years trapped in the cave!

Kong Nuer possessed three magic formations which provided him with the true power of spiritual vitality in the beginning. As a result, Chang Li destroyed the Black and White Island and Tuo Xie annihilated the Desert Rebel Mountain. Two out of three were gone. There was only the wasteland's great formation left, which could avert the god's punishment on behalf of him.

It was only until a few years ago, Kong Nuer managed to accumulate some strength with great effort. He was planning to break out of Tuo Xie's seal. In the end, he failed to charge out of the cave, but he did manage to transmit an oracle to the outside. This was to instruct a group of descendants of heaven's cone nails to detain the demon cat, in order to apprehend Chang Li's soul and bring her to the cave as a threat to Tuo Xie.

Only then it resulted in great chaos during the battle of Mount Hua.

Even Kong Nuer himself did not expect that other than Tuo Xie, there was another person who was capable of killing his split body First Brother. As a result, the proud immortal master teacher made a fool of himself. Not only did he fail to capture the demon cat, he lost the final set of magic formation that was used to avert the god's punishment.

The magic formation of the wasteland was ruined, but it still retained some remnant magic formation's power. Kong Nuer could stay behind for over four years, just in time for the split body Second Brother to wake up. Kong Nuer could not care about looking for trouble with Chang Li. He risked his injuries to send out another oracle. This was to order the five-element demon to lead his inferiors once again and carry out the scheme on the place of the outer fringe.

The group of demon immortals and sword immortals on the outside could finally understand. The five elements demon was actually the split body Second Brother. in the final analysis, Kong Nuer's scheme on the place of the outer fringe was just the same as the wasteland, Desert Rebel Mountain and Black and White Island. Kong Nuer wanted to absorb the power of endless punishment in the place of the outer fringe so that he could avert the god's punishment and remain in the mortal world.

Wen Leyang exhaled slowly. All the worldly affairs had cause and effect, retribution and judgment for sin could not be avoided. If Kong Nuer did not attempt to deal with Chang Li, his wasteland's great formation would never be destroyed, nor would he accidentally reveal the formation chart of the Great Guiding Formation. Even his final opportunity on the place of the outer fringe was lost too. If it was so, it was unknown for how long would the grand master, Tuo Xie, be locked in a stalemate with him.

Other than arranging the magic formation in the place of the outer fringe, Kong Nuer also ordered his people to kill the entire sect of the Painting Town.

Over thousands of years, the descendants of the moon cone nail exhausted laborious efforts in order to erase the seal mark on their bodies and to rescue their grand master. They managed to hide from Kong Nuer all along. It was only that the scheme of the moon cone nail's disciples was not worthy of Kong Nuer's mention. Not only did he pay no attention to the scheme, he went along with them happily.

However, during the battle of Mount Hua, Kong Nuer suffered heavy casualties. The Heavenly Moon's lineage passed down four master cultivators in every generation. Kong Nuer enlisted them due to their actual power. He pulled them back into his own troop to stop the idea of the Heavenly Moon's descendants resurrecting the moon cone nail.

Kong Nuer was blocked by Tuo Xie. He was under the assumption that amongst the descendants of Lue Luo, there was some incisive great witch who was still skilled in Lue Luo's ability to resurrect Zhui Zi. Only then did he order his inferiors to slaughter Lue Luo's descendants, so that Nineteen, Full Moon, First and Last Quarter Moon could return to their duties once again, and handle tasks loyally on behalf of the five-element demon.

At this point, Kong Nuer seemed to be a little tired. He shut his mouth and rested for a moment. The punishment cloud in the sky was gradually wrapping in layers of silver thread. The punishment thunder was revealing itself indistinctly.

It was not long before Kong Nuer spoke again, he chuckled, "On the other hand I still have a good news. I am the split body that seized that god level body's abode. I have already disobeyed the command of heaven once. That is why there is absolutely no chance for me to cross the god's punishment this time."

Zhui Zi smiled brightly, "That is absolutely the best news ever!"

The little supreme leader Liu Zheng who had been silent suddenly took half a step forward. He scolded ferociously, "What a waste that karma has dawned on you too late! What a waste that even if you end up as a scattered and dispersed soul… it is still difficult to honor the kindness of the Black and White Island's sword immortals… for their generations' worth of effort in guarding the heaven in solitary!"

Kong Nuer was confused, "How is my state of living or death related to my lineage of Black and White Island's disciples and disciple's disciples?"

Liu Zheng's facial expression was ferocious, he laughed in extreme rage, "On the Black and White Island, the legacy is passed down from generation to generation. Every generation of disciples is tasked with the responsibility to guard the heaven. I did not expect that generation after generation, we have been acting as the guard dogs for despicable you and your god level body, who are evil and sinister! My esteemed master teacher was the enlightened Tian Shu. His kindness was worthy of the heaven and earth. He possessed great supernatural powers, yet he chose to live in seclusion. He did not care about the prosperous and bustling world. He did not pay attention to the honor and disgrace of the mortal world. It was all to guard heaven in solitary, but not because of you, or because of your damn schemes, you evil beast!"

Kong Nuer's voice was loud, "They were guarding the formation because they wanted to detain Xiang Liu. How is that related to my wish of staying in the mortal world! I was using them, yet they were truly guarding the heaven and protecting the world!"

Liu Zheng was about to continue scolding, when Kong Nuer suddenly erupted in a series of laughter, "The god level body and I are evil and sinister? Take a look at the entire world. There are only a pair of us. The evil people who has committed the greatest deeds in millenniums and megaannums!"

Kong Nuer did not allow Liu Zheng to speak.

"On the wasteland, if the six thousand Landhopper were to escape into the mortal world, how many disasters will it cause? Very well, let us not discuss those barbarians first. That great formation had continuously redirected the force of the chaos' giant egg and the reversed tower's formation had taken form for many years. Those things had successfully delayed the endless great punishment of the mortal world for many years!"

"On the Desert Rebel Mountain, Red Pot was suppressed. It is true that the toad was not considered some ferocious and sinister creature. It fancied collecting preciouses inherently. Where did the rare treasures and unusual preciouses in its belly come from? Those preciouses with masters, the masters were naturally killed by it. And those without masters were even more terrifying! Those were the divine armies and heaven's cauldrons used to trigger the spiritual vitality of the world, to suppress the evil demons and avert great disasters. Those preciouses were swallowed one by one into its stomach. How is that alright, if I were to allow it to continue swallowing those preciouses? The fate of the world would pour out into nothingness sooner or later!"

"On the Black and White Island, the nine-headed Xiang Liu… Is there a need for me to explain anymore?"

Kong Nuer's laughter grew louder and louder, "That is correct, I am an evil person. Yet the greatest deeds in the world were all committed by me. What do you have to say for yourself!?"

"The Black and White Island detains the ancient evil creature Xiang Liu, so that peace reigns over the land under heaven!"

"The Desert Rebel Mountain suppresses the Red Pot who will never stop eating for eternity so that the mortal world's fate is maintained forever!"

"The wasteland gathers six thousand barbarians to redirect the power of the chaos' root system so that the heaven's path and human affairs can survive for another thousand years!"

"I ensure that the sky is round and the ground is square. I ensure that I bring benefit to all of the mortal world. Why do you even care if the actual purpose of my doing? You will only need to tell me, if all these doings of mine, are good deeds?!"

Liu Zheng was glaring, his chest that was oppressed with unvented anger seemed to be almost exploding in rage. Yet he did not manage to think of one comeback. After he gave out a heavy roar, he bawled and spat out a mouthful of murky blood clot.

Waves of extremely thunder sounded from the punishment cloud.

Kong Nuer understood that the great punishment had arrived. He was not terrified, on the contrary, he laughed as he asked the people outside, "Is there anything else that you do not understand? It is best for you to ask now. Do not always be troubled beyond who is the good or bad man, it is very boring."

Zhui Zi patted on Liu Zheng's back gently, she raised her head and asked dully, "I did not understand, why did you leave that box to me? The Molten Metal Fire Bell was the treasured weapon that you spent laborious efforts to refine, why did you abandon it? Moreover, even though you were the embodiment of the seized abode, you were apparently not dead… yet the Sword's Resolve of the giant sword was sealed by you."

Kong Nuer's laughter sounded light, but it was filled with emotions, "Lin Li, Lin Li, you are still the child that I love the most!"

Kong Nuer's tone of speaking suddenly sounded wispy, he sounded like a person who was talking in his dreams.

"Before the god level body passed down the Black and White Island's formation chart, I had never regarded myself as a good man before. I did not feel that I was a bad man either. I only knew that I was supposed to follow the god level body's orders, to help him to achieve mastery in his cultivation to become an immortal. Yet from the formation chart, I realized that the god level body was going to erase my memories, and I wondered where did the First Brother and Second Brother go. Without my memories, am I still myself? I was unwilling to forget my memories as a human, and I did not wish to become the tools to absorb life vitality like the First Brother and Second Brother for thousands of years."

"If I wanted to retain my memories, if I wished to not turn into a tool, then I could only sacrifice you. I could only kill the god level body. When I had seen through the Black and White Island's demon-suppressing formation chart, I then understood that even so my plan was to succeed, from the moment you died, I would never be that original split body. That split body who was neither sinless nor virtuous. I casted a spell to seal the jade box, and left it with you. In simpler words, that was the secret confession I left for you!"

"I genuinely had never thought that you would still have an opportunity to retrieve and open that box. Whether my plan of seizing abode was a success or failure, Lin Li would still die tragically. I still could not refrain myself from leaving a confession for you, it was also a confession for myself!"

"The Molten Metal Fire Bell was the same. That Sword's Resolve was personally sealed by me. I abandoned it, not because I resented it for not being powerful. I was even less afraid that it would reveal my identity of seizing abode, but because…"

Thunder suddenly echoed loudly and sonorously from the punishment cloud. Kong Nuer's voice too grew loud and clear with it.

"But because I wanted to tell myself, that from the day I seized the abode, I would never bring back, find nor see myself from the past anymore!"

"I hate that, why was I his split body!"

"I hate that; I would never see the change of this world anymore!"

Kong Nuer bawled and cried loudly. The thunder was more violent than the rainstorm! The brightness upon the world was telling everyone from the sound of its magnificent explosion that –

It did not matter if your schemes were boundless as the sea

It did not matter if your cultivation base was comparable to the heaven

It did not matter if your arrogant laughter was heard all over the eight extremely remote areas beyond China.

It did not matter if your audacity exceeded the six states of harmonies

When your punishment had arrived, you were nothing but…

A

Pile

Of

Mud!

When the god's punishment struck, the rock cave collapsed. Kong Nuer would certainly die. What about… Tuo Xie?

Wen Leyang bore the risk of bullying his grand master. Chang Li was about to leap into the grand master grandfather's strong poison prohibition spell in an attempt to die for love. He punched her beautiful head and knocked her out.

Chang Li slumped into Wen Leyang's arms. From the northeast direction of the huge mountain, a loud roar suddenly exploded, "I am a little late. I lost the opportunity to witness the death of that bastard!"

Soon after, the Shiwan Mountain suddenly shook the land!

Chapter 320: The Auspicious Sign (Finale)

God's punishment divine thunder crumbled the little cave which Kong Nuer and Grand Master Tuo Xie was in beyond all doubt, but the poison Prohibition in the col still stood. They group of people were agitated until they gritted their teeth, but nobody could take a step into the boundary!

Even when the clouds of punishment dispersed, the heavy rain continued. The shout which shocked the heavens in the northeast instantly shattered the world which was about to be quiet!

The land shook violently. At the edge of their sight, a puff of thick grey clouds was rolling, like a giant dragon which wanted to swallow the world, it billowed towards the col.

The elites who knew how to fly leapt into the air with their body movements. They looked towards the far northeast. Wen Leyang was also lifted high by Chi Maojiu's long vines.

Every cultivator exchanged glances. Even if someone gathered the monsters which had been completely scattered just a few moments ago, there would not be a sound such as this.

In comparison, the great monster army before this was like boundless ants. They covered the heavens and earth wherever they went, it was futile to wish to kill them all off. The cloud of dust was like an evil beast strong enough to tear the heavens and the earth. It did not climb mountains or cross rivers, because wherever it went, the mountains crumbled, rocks flew, everything that stood in its way was reduced to nothing in the blink of an eye!

The big and small demon rabbit and the other leaders shouted orders to their disciples. The thousands of cultivators were in a mess. They hiked up the nearby hill under the leadership of their respective immortal masters. They took out their magic weapons, stood in formation and waited to meet the enemy. Even Wen Leyang and the others had temporarily retreated to a mountain ridge that was not tall.

The dust cloud came quickly. It was but a breath when it had reached, from the edge of their eyesight to about two kilometers away from them. At this moment, the group of peerless elites finally got a good look. Among this dust cloud which blotted up the skies and could not be washed away even by a storm was an old acquaintance of everyone!

Its body size was as huge as a giant river, layers of bright scales covered its body, seven heads swirled, ceaselessly elongating and spitting. On every head, there was a giant flesh crown which glowed with divine light, it was domineering and icy cold, arrogant and proud! The only thing that made it seem less domineering was that there were two necks that hung limply, swaying as it made its advance.

Xiang Liu has come!

Not long before, the madman Red Pot had shattered every Heaven's cone nail on Black and White Island. Xiang Liu which had seven surviving heads had completely broken free of its shackles. However, it was difficult to coordinate its body for some time. Now, after getting used to it, it finally charged out of Black and White Island. It had rushed all the way to Shiwan Mountains. It had not even reach the mountains when it caught some surviving immortal master teacher disciples to fill it in about the situation in front of them. Then, it saw the eruption of the god's punishment and immediately understood. Their archenemy Kong Nuer was passing the punishment.

The fourteen eyes of Xiang Liu were expressionless, there was only the stifling feeling of death. It did not even glance at the thousands of cultivators who had prepared to attack around it. It only howled, "Kong Nuer, may the ghosts and gods of the skies protect you, that you may still have some severed limbs or broken bones left for me to crush them into ashes!"

Amidst the shrill howl, its huge body crushed the nearby mountain and it plunged into the tiny col.

Xiang Liu would not let anyone who was present live, but before this, it wanted to see if Kong Nuer had truly been blasted to smithereens by the god's punishment divine thunder. Even if that were true, Xiang Liu wanted to ingest the broken remains, grind them, crush them and swallow them!

Having been imprisoned for a million years, destroyed the three brothers and finally regained its freedom, but when it rushed to the doorstep of its enemy, Kong Nuer had already crossed the punishment. This maddened Xiang Liu beyond all reason.

Just when Xiang Liu entered the col and wanted to plunge into the mountain which was about to be reduced to a pile of rocks, ten thousand blue rays of heavenly water flowed quickly. Boundless color of water rose. The poison Prohibition was completely triggered by this primordial evil monster!

Rapid slapping sounds joined into one in the blink of an eye as theyerupted from Xiang Liu's body. Its scales were cracked by Grand Master Tuo Xie's Ben Ming poison! Xiang Liu never thought that there would be such a domineering poison under the heavens. It leapt in a frenzy as it was caught off guard. Its seven giant heads pointed towards the heavens and let out an extremely angered howl.

At the same time, the thousands of cultivators around it erupted in a unified shout, "Kill!"

Ten thousand Buddha's light flowed and swirled.

Tibetan Buddhism Sect dharani and Buddhism chants urged endless mercy, angered seniors, protective magic heavenly dragon, twenty-eight heaven, arhats and rakhshasa… Various dharmakaya of various gods and Buddhas appeared. The big and small demon rabbits had bloodshot eyes. Head lama Rangjung howled furiously. From the highlands, from Great Mercy Temple, from the seventy-two ancient temples of the world, from the Buddhists Tapas cultivators of the four seas, a chant of Sanskrit was a killing spell which sent the target back to karma!

Buddhist magic art ran rampant, filling the entire area.

Sign of the three mountains, sign of heavenly thunder, sign of the seven stars, Xuhuo Spell, Thousand Spirit Spell, Six Punishment Breaking Spell… Talismans flew like a rustling forest, flying swords gathered into a heavenly rapid torrent. Little supreme leader Liu Zheng wore a ferocious expression, martial maniac San Wei gritted his teeth. They led the group of Kunlun Sect, Eyang Sect and other sects' disciples as they shot all their cultivation base amassed throughout their lifetimes into that tiny col!

There were also countless cultivators from secular families, various magic weapons, mechanical figurines, beast tamers…

Spirit primordial energy filled the skies. Chang Li who had been knocked out by Wen Leyang just now also came to her senses with shock. She bulged her eyes and looked eagerly at her comrades beside her, "Who hit me just now…"

The storm still rained down heavily, the world was enshrouded in moisture.

Countless magic weapons, flowing with powerful life vitality poured out ceaselessly in the col. The great light shone by the layers of treasures intertwined with the rocks and mud blew away by magical powers, completely blocking everyone's sight. However, the shocking thunder in the sky, resounding spell incantations, Sanskrit, were unable to drown out Xiang Liu's wails and furious howls which gradually turned into an uncomfortable guttural laugh!

The few demon immortals stood in a row on the nearby hill, nobody attacked. Only when Xiang Liu's laugh sounded, somebody said with a hint of a smile, "This is the final battle."

Yes, it was the final battle! If they won, the world would be at peace, if they lost, then the world would no longer concern them!

Victory or defeat. Regardless the outcome, it was worth it for them to wager their entire life's cultivation base in this one battle!

Chang Li caressed the big lump on the back of her head. Her bright eyes scanned her still wounded comrades. She smiled brilliantly, "Who among you can still fight?"

Hanba suddenly gave a strange laugh, "This is the final battle, enough with your nonsense!" When his voice faded, his body quickly shriveled up!

Then, a crisp and hearty laugh, a pitiable sigh, a sonorous and forceful yell, a peculiar and cold cry, four voices came out at the same time from the mouths of Chang Li, Cone Nail, the golden monkey and Hanba, the four demon immortals. Their voices blended into the exact four words.

Demon Body Breaking Spell!

The final battle was unrelated to winning or losing, they only wanted it to be straightforward and brilliant. The demon immortals only had one single thought, this battle, we will fight until it is raining flowers!

Demon Blades, icicles, golden shadow, zombies, rolled at the same time! From afar, it seemed like the little slope on which the demon immortals stood abruptly turned into an apocalyptic volcano. What spewed forth was blazing, scalding, unparalleled majestic prettiness! Four great magical powers intertwined with each other. They bit at each other, like raging waters from the nether world, they rolled towards Xiang Liu.

There was also the demon fetus rock tower as big as a hill. It blew up a wind and thunder and charged forth from the thick dark clouds. Yin's Error Yang's Mistake was ice cold and majestic, as swift as a comet…

The group of Tuo Xie disciples who were not skilled in ranged attacks also laughed madly ot howled at the same time as the demon immortals' attacks. Their body movements exploded as they dispersed the rain, magical powers, magic weapons, air, dispersed everything and charged into the col from the other direction.

It was unknown whether it was Wen Leyang or Chi Maojiu, someone ran wildly, laughed loudly and sang the song which had been circulated for thousands of years, had once been forgotten, but was now enough to crush every sect, not a single root grows on the Wen. Never befriend a Miao. Die a dog's death on Crow Ridge!

Monks, Taoists, seculars, demons, Tuo Xie, one cultivation world, hundreds of sects, thousands of elites, all of them attacked amidst the song which was enough to shake the heavens. All this, to kill Xiang Liu!

Xiang Liu's laughter did not fade, but it grew louder and louder instead. It gradually turned into rolling thunder which resounded at the edge of the heavens! Its seven heads suddenly swayed. Every head rocked up their respective utmost magical power, utmost arrogance!

The fire element head reverberated with blazing flames, it burned the first hill to ashes in the blink of an eye. Hundreds of cultivators did not even have the time to wail before they were reduced to ashes.

The earth element head scurried, three large rocks which were not inferior to the demon fetus rock tower fell from the sky. They rumbled and collided with the rock tower. The rocks shattered. The smallest shrapnel that resulted from the collision was the size of a five-story building. They rained down on the cultivators who fled in all directions.

The Chaos head opened its big mouth. A puff of void whirlpool which intertwined in black and white tore at the air in the blink of an eye. It appeared in the middle of the cultivators without warning. Within a diameter of a thousand meters, in the instant the Chaos whirlpool appeared, every cultivator had their hairs, skin, tendons and flesh forcefully torn down from their bones. Fresh blood was like water which leaked out from a cracked tank, crashing into the ground with a bang. The skeletons left behind by the victims still stood.

The moon attribute head looked in front. A layer of brilliant moonlight cut into the magic weapons which covered the skies like lightning. In the blink of an eye, the skies which was densely packed with various magic weapons were cleared off by its gaze.

There was also the metal element head, sun attribute, stars attribute…

The true soul not only commanded and coordinated the nine heads, it was also the main soul within Xiang Liu's body. It could utilize Chaos energy at will and cast spells through its nine heads. Wen Leyang had killed the true soul with poison four years ago, which diminished Xiang Liu's battle strength by half.

With the death of the water element and wood element wicked souls, Xiang Liu lost another ten percent of fighting strength out of the remaining fifty percent (Author's note: Two heads out of nine, it should be twenty percent, but it was already fifty percent before this. So, is it ten percent less or twenty percent less now… I am in such a dilemma…).

In addition to that, it had only just recently regained its freedom, it had not regained its full strength yet when it was intoxicated by Grand Master Tuo Xie's Ben Ming poison. A great nine-headed snake did not even have twenty percent of its original strength!

However, with this twenty percent of strength, with one strike of Xiang Liu's counterattack, the cultivators had lost three thousand men! The remaining cultivators dared not stay in the same spot. Some of them turned and ran, but even more of their eyes were reddened by fresh blood. They cursed loudly and activated their magic weapons. Their bodies leapt and charged as they activated their magical powers again in midair.

A primordial huge evil monster who was weak, two heads short and lacked the command of the true soul, which was also harmed by the strangest poison under the heavens. Every famed elite of the cultivation world had fought into a ball in the surrounding collapsed mountain ridges. They fought like the wind, like blazing flames, like raging waves.

It did not matter who died or who lived, it was the final battle!

Xiang Liu's body also leapt and flew, but it looked extremely clumsy as it moved. The cultivators' magic powers almost never missed. It scales which were not as tough after cracked by the poison eventually shattered under the wild attacks of the magic weapons.

The battle only lasted barely long enough for a joss stick to be completely burnt, more than half of the cultivators had already died. Even the two foolish uncles were accidentally sent flying by Xiang Liu's giant body. They crashed to the far side as they wailed and complained about the pain. They tried with all their might but could not get back to their feet.

Wen Leyang was so anxious that his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. He had stuck himself onto Xiang Liu's body, but all the gushing Poison of Life and Death could do was remove a few scales. He only managed to open a slit in the slimy but unbelievably tough skin.

The fierce battle continued. Another dozen minute passed. The cultivators who were still desperately persevering did not number more than two thousand. Most of those who remained were the elite disciples of the Five Blessings or the World Sect. The few demon immortals had casted the Demon Body Breaking Spell for the second time, disregarding their own lives!

Xiang Liu's body was clumsier and clumsier. It sometimes panted heavily, but even a person who had no cultivation base could tell that if this battle goes on, the cultivators had no chance of winning.

It was only a fierce battle of dozens of minutes, but Wen Leyang felt more exhausted than when he fought the monsters in the place of the outer fringe for days. Xiang Liu's body had a great resistance. If it were not for his Faulty Punch which was very peculiar, he would have been shaken to death before he even managed to remove the scales.

Xiang Liu's stars attribute head finally noticed Wen Leyang who was like a needle on its body. It turned around. After breaking little Chi Maojiu's black vines with visible strain, the giant snake swallowed and spat. With some savageness, with some interest, it moved towards Wen Leyang at a casual pace.

Suddenly, an eruption was heard. A rubble shot upwards. A plump fat man whose longs hair and messy beard almost covered his entire face flipped and leapt out…

The foolish uncle Wen Nine who was lying far away with no more energy to move chuckled at Wen Thirteen, "If he was not a fat man, he'd have looked like Sun Wukong being born."

The fat man's clothes and body exuded a burnt stench, sometimes, puffs of green smoke were given off. His head and body was pitch-black. If Tutatunte was here, they would look like fat and skinny mendicant Buddhist monk when they stood side by side.

The fat man who seemed to have just been burnt broke out of the ground. The rubble that flew everywhere shocked the stars attribute head. It gave up on chasing Wen Leyang. Its huge head shook, it shot towards the fat man as quick as lightning while wrapped in a foul wind!

The black fat man seemed to have been surprised by the situation in front of him. A thick voice which was a bit stifling rumbled and erupted beside Wen Leyang's ear, "What is this thing!"

Then, a laughter broke out, "Xiang Liu?" When his voice faded, the fat man exhaled and shouted. He balled his plump fists and gave a punch without any flair as he met that Xiang Liu's head!

Amidst the muffled explosion which made Wen Leyang saw stars, two huge forces collided loudly. A puff of air wave which was visible to everyone's eyes shot out from between the snake's head and the fist. It rolled towards all directions in the blink of an eye. Wherever it blew, even peerless elites as strong as little Chi MAojiu and little supreme leader Liu Zheng squalled and fell on their backs. The ordinary cultivators turned into rolling bottle gourds. Everything in the sky and on the ground rolled and crashed everywhere.

At the same time the air wave blew, a shout which was unsure whether it was happy or sad, it was only tearing, it shot hysterically towards the sky from Chang Li's throat, "Tuo Xie!"

The god's punishment had dispersed. Kong Nuer's death was all but certain. Pickle jar Tuo Xie was charred, but he leapt out, full of vigor.

With that one hit, Tuo Xie squalled as he was planted into the ground by Xiang Liu's head. That stars attribute head also clumsily and painfully stretched its neck after experiencing the aftershock. However, the great force was unconstrained and the snake neck could not return to its position. Instead, it brought the monster's body which was as huge as a giant river and slowly, just like that, slowly, unbelievably crashed to the ground loudly in everyone's almost bursting eyes!

The back of Wen Leyang's head cracked a large rock, but he leapt to his feet like he was electrocuted. He had not even reach the pile of rubble which buried Tuo Xie whe Tuo Xie, with his face covered in dust squalled and leapt out. On his right hand which had just hit the monster, every finger was crooked at unnatural angles.

Xiang Liu also leapt as it howled, but the stars attribute head swayed wildly as if it was drunk. Its mouth let out strange mumbles. On its forehead, a giant dent was very eye-catching. Its eyes were also cloudy, it did not seem to have an ounce of spirit left…

Grand Master Tuo Xie did not hear Chang Li's howl. His eyes were also dazzled. Xiang Liu's seven heads turned into thirteen heads in his eyes… Even so, Tuo Xie raised his left fost and laughed, "One more time!"

Almost at the same time, another voice familiar to Wen Leyang came from afar as it shouted with fury, "Xiang Liu, Shiwan… you had personally promised me eighty thousand years before that you would never take half a step into Shiwan Mountains, have you forgotten!?"

When the angry howl faded, chunks of rocks which were not large, but the sound of wind which they gave off was enough to tear at the soul. They whistled and rolled as they crashed with loud bangs, one by one, on Xiang Liu's head like raindrops.

The Xiang Liu which the great force of the 'Demon Body Breaking Spell' could not harm spewed blood after fresh blood after the blows of these rocks. The wild burly man in the Chaos foul mountain leapt from a faraway mountain peak. After finish tossing every divine rock, he decided to raise his own wagon and mercilessly landed it in between the eyes of the Chaos head!

Tuo Xie burst into laughter and leapt up again. Wen Leyang, Chi Maojiu and Mumu followed closely behind their Grand Master like lightning. The remaining cultivators activated their magical powers again and countless magic weapons crashed towards their target. The wild burly man howled, his super strength was shocking as he shocked the heavens with his punches and kicks. The four demon immortals gritted their teeth, they disregarded the hideous wounds on their bodies, their broken arms as they desperately struggled to get back on their feet…

The col had been reduced to a flat land long ago. The final fierce battle continued like raging fire…

Ever since Wen Leyang stepped out of the Place of Birth, Life, Sickness and Death, he had experienced countless fierce battles for about a decade. Some were intense, some were life-and-death, some were hard-pressed and some made him unsure whether he should laugh or cry. However, in terms of intensity, majesty and bold immense pressure, this battle before him was the greatest!

In the depths of Shiwan Mountains, the small hill crumbled, ginat rivers wailed and broke. The world seemed to have transformed into a small puddle pool. Xiang Liu was the giant crocodile in this little puddle pool, Tuo Xie and the wild burly man were two fierce six-whiskered catfish, the others were wild piranhas. Among the flurry or attacks, blood stained everything, waves raged.

Time was forgotten, the sun and moon were unseen. Within Wen Leyang's eyes, heart, on his fists and feet, there was only one word, fight!

The seven heads of Xiang Liu were defeated one after the other. The defeat of each head only came after the death of a hundred cultivators even with the efforts of the two old monsters and the elites…

Since the addition of Grand Master Tuo Xie and the wild burly man, this battle had lasted for seven days and seven nights. Xiang Liu's final Chaos head finally gave half a lifeless wail as it shut it eyes tight and crashed heavily to the ground!

Almost at the same time, the dark clouds in the skies silently dispersed. The vast blue skies was like new, a rainbow hung above the mountains. It was clear and brilliant!

The survivors did not even have the tie to cheer when a loud cry was heard, "With only Old Fourth left, what good is a rainbow to me!?" His voice barely faded when a strong fat man jumped high. He waved the Xuanhua Axe in his hand and tossed it towards the rainbow!

Of the World Sect's seven Rainbow brothers, only the mad mannerism Old Fourth was left.

When Rainbow Old Fourth cried, the survivors all broke into tears as well! The First Seats of the Great Mercy Temple Five Great Monasteries all died. Only nine of the seventy-two esteemed Kunlun sword seniors survived. Other than San Wei and Ah Dan, only four Eyang Sect disciples were left. Great master Rangjung sacrificed himself to protect the others…

In the place of the outer fringe, there were thousands of cultivators. Those who went as reinforcements to Shiwan Mountains numbered around ten thousand elites.

After fighting with evil beasts, the master immortal teacher and Xiang Liu, only about a thousand of them were left!

Hanba Fifth Brother leaned against a crushed rock, he rolled his tyrannical eyes to look up to the sky, he looked distracted when he said, "The Yin's Eye of Qinling Mountains was buried, the Mourning cauldrons were destroyed, malevolent energy in the land of corpse figurines surged skyward, some place in the world was bound to suffer from a great punishment disaster, it was only I did not expect, that this great disaster, would befall on the cultivation world!"

The entire cultivation world, whether it was the right or evil path, whether it was the demons or devils, whether it was for good or for bad and whether it was for kindness or enmity, everyone hugged into a ball, and perished together with Kong Nuer and Xiang Liu.

Kong Nuer was already dead, yet Xiang Liu was still alive, even though it was beaten until its chaos force had almost completely depleted, yet its body originated from the same source as the heaven and earth, even so when it could not even budge from its injuries, the crowd too could not manage to kill it.

The wild burly man rested for a while, he spoke to the rest of the people, "I will figure out a way to trap it, but every seventy-seven years, I will need to beat it mercilessly and relentlessly, to destroy the strength that it had accumulated!" As he was saying that he stood up and dragged along the gigantic nine-headed snake, and walked towards the depth of the huge mountain strenuously, he had only walked for a few steps when he seemed to have remembered something, he turned around and laughed as he spoke to the grand master Tuo Xie, "Pickle Jar, you are rather remarkable! Every seventy-seven years hereafter, do remember to look for me and join me to beat Xiang Liu!"

Tuo Xie waved his hand strenuously, he had only said the word 'alright', when he immediately broke into a coughing fit, by the time he managed to calm down his breathing with great effort, the wild burly man had since left while laughing aloud.

Chi Maojiu suddenly remembered that there was still a leaf of immortal grass in his chest pocket, he bustled about as he removed it, he staggered as he fell over to the side of Tuo Xie, he stuffed the shiny yet suspicious Centipede Grass into the grand master grandfather's mouth without considering his protests.

Tuo Xie smacked his lips, he commented with slight puzzlement, "The leaf of the immortal grass…why does it taste a little salty?"

Chi Maojiu dared not inform the grand master grandfather, that this leaf was spat out by Tu Mi, he was wondering about how to explain, when the two monks Ji Fei and Shui Jing came running over, the both of them stood side by side as they knelt in front of Tuo Xie at the sound of a thump, "The pupils are here to greet you, it is a pleasure for us to meet the grand master grandfather!"

Tuo Xie was startled, he exerted the strength of his entire body to leap up, then he returned the salute as he knelt to the two monks at the sound of a thump, "The Immortal senior, Taoist master speak too strongly of me…"

Ji Fei and Shui Jing did not speak anymore, they were startled until they fainted directly.

Followed by the meeting of the grand master and his grandchildren, the meeting of relatives, and reminiscing of the past events, the feelings of emotional and decadence, injustice and gratification were intertwined with one another, the sound of crying, laughing, cursing overlapped and formed into the sound of squalling noises!

From the fierce battle, Tuo Xie had since recognized the cultivation method of a group of his descendant's disciples, he even managed to spend some time to give the demon cat Chang Li a ferocious hug, but after the fierce battle had ended, the three women Chang Li, Zhui Zi and Mumu all disappeared.

The two grandfather and grandson Tuo Xie and Wen Leyang were anxious…

The Darling informed them smilingly, "Chang Li saw that the battle had ended, she said that she wanted to take a shower and dressed up before meeting you, so she pulled along Zhui Zi and Mumu as they ran to the back of the mountain." As she was saying that, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the depth of the huge mountain.

Upon saying that, Little Five raised her head and looked at her father, "Standing in the rain, I thought that counts as taking a shower?"

Hanba scoffed, "I do not understand why are they not done showering from the rain either."

The incessant arduous battle, the incessant rainstorm, the charred and blacked skin on the grand master Tuo Xie's body had yet to fade, little Chi Maojiu attempted to flatter by using his sleeve to clean Tuo Xie's face, as a result his sleeve became much cleaner than before on the contrary.

Wen Leyang too gathered forward, he asked the grand master Tuo Xie, "Your grand old man…made it through the god's punishment of Kong Nuer?"

By the time Tuo Xie leaped out his body was charred, there was no need to ask if he was struck by the god's punishment drew in by Kong Nuer.

Tuo Xie utterly did not regard himself as a senior generation, he laughed as he shook his head, "Kong Nuer is really something himself." Upon saying that, he scolded ferociously, "This is too motherfucking embarrassing!"

When the god's punishment arrived, Kong Nuer suddenly squalled, he suddenly pounced out of the mountain cave, Tuo Xie did not even need to consider before he launched the Faulty Punch to receive the enemy. Yet Kong Nuer utterly did not attempt to cultivate his power to resist, he allowed the strong poison to bore into his chest, Tuo Xie had yet to react to the situation, the god's punishment divine thunder suddenly descended, and heavily struck onto the both of them.

It was only a moment, Tuo Xie could already smelled the scent of his own barbecued meat, it was only then he found that, that Kong Nuer's mention of the arrival of the god's punishment was true. Tuo Xie wiped at his forehead, he sniggered, "I came over here in an attempt to block him, I had never thought that I would leave this place alive, but when I truly understood that I was going to die at the time, I was still petrified!"

Yet unexpectedly Kong Nuer had only hugged him for a moment, when he laughed strangely, "I shall let you have a taste of the god's punishment, so I can startle you the Pickle Jar to death!" Upon saying that, he truly let go of his grasp, before he was completely killed by the divine thunder, he left behind his last words, "Please help me to tell Lin Li…"

At this point, Tuo Xie lowered his voice, "I was scared out of my wits at the time, I understood that Kong Nuer was about to die, when I did manage to walk finally, I was struck by the divine thunder until my entire body was numb, in addition that the mountain cave was in a chaotic mess…"

Wen Leyang widened his eyes in surprise, "So Kong Nuer's words for Lin Li, your grand old man did not manage to remember?"

Tuo Xie hastily shook his head, "Not that I did not manage to remember, but I could not hear him at all!"

Chi Maojiu instructed the other two sensible people softly, "It is best that only the three of us including the grandfather and grandsons knew about this incident then."

Before his voice died away, a series of strange croaking noises echoed by Little Five's side, the mad toad Red Pot finally refined and dissolved the split body Second Brother's primordial spirit, it roared in an awe-inspiring manner, "I am committing good deeds in the world, yet all of you regard me as the enemy…" Little Five did not wait for it to finish talking before she hastily used her staff to knock it out.

The three women were back, Zhui Zi stood on the left, Mumu stood on the right, Chang Li's expression was bright and glowing, the color of her face appeared slightly ghastly pale because she launched the demon body breaking spell on two occasions continuously, the smile lines around the corners of her lips were quivering, it took less than a moment before the smile lines shook her decadent smile into injustice, sorrowful and bursting with joy!

Chang Li walked to the side of Tuo Xie strenuously, she sat down on the ground, lowered her head, she flipped her hair such that her hair was draped over her face, it was black in color from wetness, it felt cold, smooth, soft, as it covered her charming head, and also covered the grand master Tuo Xie's round head…

Zhui Zi asked Mumu smilingly, "What should we do when we cannot see anymore?"

Mumu was startled, she hastily pulled Zhui Zi away, "It is best that we do not see what we should not see!"

The group of people bided farewell to each other and dispersed off after they left Shiwan Mountain, the cultivation world's vitality was gravely injured, other than a few leaders, the right path of Five Blessing was almost completely annihilated, the World Sect's fatalities and injuries were even more tragic, they had lost the intention of avenging and winning at this moment.

Nineteen was severely injured, her state of mind was even more dejected, her family's scheme for the past thousands of years had failed, her three brothers lost their lives on an evil mountain, losing the hope to resurrect their first ancestor, in the eyes of them the descendants of moon cone nail, One Word Palace was nothing but a sour joke.

The surviving rogue cultivators still remained jubilant, the deceased had already passed, the enemies were executed, the remaining ones, still had half of their lifetimes left to live free and unfettered!

Wen Leyang and the rest escorted Tuo Xie, they returned to the Wen family village from Shiwan Mountain, they had just arrived at the foothill, when Wen Leyang suddenly stopped walking, his face was filled with a peculiar expression that was difficult to tell if he was astonished or joyous, he opened his mouth to Tuo Xie but before he could speak, a series of loud noises that sounded suffocating yet explosive, suddenly surged skywards from the Wen family village, soon after a fiery glow burned charmingly, a puff of scorching flames as red as fresh blood, rippling with fiery snakes for a few kilometers in length, licked towards the sky ferociously!

Wen Leyang squalled, "You've Got Me!" Before his voice died away, he had already turned around and dashed towards the top of the mountain.

It took less than a moment, by the time Wen Leyang pounced back towards the village, the entire Wen family village had already turned into a chaotic mess, that small house that was used by You've Got Me to form cocoon earlier, turned into a fire pillar that was so thick ten strong lads could not wrapped their arms around it that surged towards the sky, the air was trembling continuously under the aggressive heat waves' surges, when seen from the above, it was as if the sky was melting in layers under the scorching heat. Fortunately, the fire pillar was albeit strong and vigorous, but it had yet to condense into a solid form, it was scorching hot but it did not spread in all directions.

The houses in the village collapsed, the scene before their eyes was filled with rubbles and debris. Anyone who was unaware of the truth would only need to take one glance, he would certainly say, "This village has just been bombed by someone…"

Most of the Wen family disciples were fine, they pulled along their wives and held their children when the giant earthquake suddenly occurred, those who were less skilled only suffered from minor scrapes and wounds, even though they were not severely injured, but they still could not avoid from getting bumps and bruises.

Xiaoyi's forehead had swollen into a huge bump form the crash.

The blind man's head was covered in fire, he was squalling as he was running about everywhere, Bushuo and Buzuo lifted their pails, they splashed at him for a few times but they missed every time…

What was even more confusing to Wen Leyang, was that not far away from the fire pillar, the giant frog that was enjoying free food in the Miao stockade village all along, the sitting toad Xiu Er, with its bulging eyes, it was staring in bewilderment at everything that was taking place before its eyes.

A few days ago, the people of the Wen family received news about the grand master Tuo Xie, and that Wen Leyang and the rest were about to return safely, they were all dancing in elation without exception, there was only the blind man who was frowning in grief, You've Got Me was in a cocoon, it was not like the other Buddha's Light Bug, the blind man dared not use the method that he had figured out in the past to help the bug transformed into a butterfly all along.

The blind man had been calculating himself, the burden of ensuring You've Got Me broke out of the cocoon, had already fell on his shoulders, if Wen Leyang and the rest were not at home, and if he did accidentally killed the bug, at least he still had a chance to run away, yet if he were to wait until that group of living ancestors to return, he would only end up being stripped off his skin alive if he were to make any mistakes.

It was only then the blind man made up his mind, before Wen Leyang's return, he launched his method to forcefully transform the bug into a butterfly, if he were to succeed then it would be an exceptional work, if he were to fail then he would immediately run away…

Wen Leyang stretched out his hand and snatched the water pail in Wen Buzuo's hand, he directly inverted the pail onto the blind man's head, following that he hastily inquired, "What is going on here!"

The Buddha's Light Bug was a larva of the fire element king of bugs, after it had absorbed enough power of fire element, it would then form a cocoon, but there were almost no one or two bugs that were capable of successfully transforming into butterflies. For the past few thousands of years, it was unknown how many master cultivators who were skilled in poison, had figured out countless methods, but still could not manage to find a way to transform the Buddha's Light Bug into butterfly all along.

Actually in simpler words, the method was very simple, the utmost fire element generated the earth, after the Buddha's Light Bug formed a cocoon, it would need an utmost earth element's strong poison to act as a guide, the moment the poison of earth had arrived, it would immediately arouse the Poison of Fire in the chrysalis, the chrysalis would then rebirth from the exploding Poison of fire.

Without the Poison of Earth's guidance, the power of fire element would be trapped inside the cocoon, even though the chrysalis would not be charred, but it would never get out in eternity, until it gradually grew old and died.

The blind man had since invited the First Grandfather to act as a mediator, he borrowed the sitting toad Xiu Er from the Miao stockade village, but he dared not make a move all along, it was only when Wen Leyang's group of people arrived at the foothill, only then the blind man made up his mind, he retrieved a portion of stomach's sand that contained the Poison of Earth from its stomach.

The blind man held the stomach's sand in his hands, yet before he could scatter the sand onto the cocoon, he had only approached the small house by a few steps, You've Got Me suddenly burst out, and stirred up a pillar of scorching fire that was hot enough to burn through a huge mountain. The blind man was the first to bear the brunt, his entire head and face was burned.

You've Got Me absorbed, the Taoist school's power of true fire from the entire Molten Metal Fire Bell, the village too collapsed within the huge earthquake caused by the explosion of the fire pillar.

Wen Leyang had only finished listening to the blistered blind man's description of the entire event, when that thick and huge fire pillar not far away rose abruptly out of the ground, a hundred kilometers away from the top of the crowd's heads, and burned into a puff of sharp fiery red, soon after the fire pillar shattered with a loud bang.

The scorching hot raging flames did not scatter onto the ground, but connected into a fire cloud that covered the sky, the scorching flames paved across everyone's line of sight, right underneath the sea of fire, there was a butterfly that was so red it made one's eyes dripping with blood, that was fluttering gracefully!

The grand master Tuo Xie had never heard of You've Got Me, he raised his head and was watching the scene with glowing eyes, he grabbed a handful of Wen Leyang's arm, "Where did you capture this species from? Tell me quick."

Wen Leyang had yet to speak, when Chang Li muttered casually from the side, "Something that the grand master grandfather likes, is it appropriate for the junior junior junior generation of grandchild to keep it for himself?"

Wen Leyang was feeling a little unaccustomed to the situation, Chang Li who was always helping him to seize something earlier, suddenly came to seize his precious today…

Tuo Xie scoffed, "I cannot want that." As he was saying that he turned around and glared at Chang Li.

Chang Li felt that she was injustice, she rolled her eyes as she turned around and glared at Wen Leyang, moments later she suddenly sniggered aloud, she stretched out her hand and wrapped her arms around Tuo Xie's strong and thick arm, her face was filled with satisfaction…

The moment the few people were talking, You've Got Me saw its master in midair, its fiery red butterfly wings shook once, at the sound of a thump, the boundless sea of fire in midair suddenly vanished without a trace, You've Got Me on the other hand straightforwardly did not flutter its wings anymore, it spun, tossed and turned as it tumbled down from the sky into Wen Leyang's arms in a peevish manner.

Wen Leyang burst out laughing, he stretched out his hand and held the bug, under close examination, he discovered that You've Got Me utterly did not change, only with the addition of a pair of beautiful wings.

Its black bean-like eyes flickered, You've Got Me turned around and leaped up from Wen Leyang's hand, it ululated strangely, its voice sounded cheerful yet pleased, and even filled with confidence and strength!

Tuo Xie had already learned about the origins of Wen Leyang's poison power for the past few days, he chuckled, "Your Poison of Life and Death had already combined the earth, metal, water and wood element, the meridians, bones, blood vessels, muscles and flesh in your body too were remolded by strong poison. If you were to absorb Poison of Fire, then your hair and skin will be remolded, from then on your poisonous body will turn into a saint's body, you will achieve mastery in your cultivation method, and you will only be stronger as compared to me."

Wen Leyang was stunned, he looked at the grand master grandfather absentmindedly, he seemed to have not understood his words.

Chang Li laughed as she reminded from the side, "Your body is rich with Yin's poison since the beginning, now that you have absorbed the Poison of Fire from You've Got Me, your poisonous body will turn into a saint's body, from this day on you are invincible in the world!"

"What is going to happen to You've Got Me?" Wen Leyang finally recovered from his surprise.

Tuo Xie laughed, he shook his head.

You've Got Me immediately curled up its wings upon hearing that, it lied with its back on Wen Leyang's palm, and posed in the posture of permitting Wen Leyang's demands, its eyes were filled with willingness to sacrifice itself. In the end a small tuff of sparks, emerged from the crowd's back soundlessly, and ignited soundlessly on the grand master Tuo Xie's trouser legs.

You've Got Me dared not seek revenge from Chang Li, how about Tuo Xie…which erudite person was he?

Wen Leyang suddenly laughed, he looked around in all directions, with two wives as beautiful as flowers and jade, a piteous-looking good friend, four exasperated grandfathers, a first uncle who was rubbing his palms and stomping his foot, a pair of parents with grey hair on their heads, two uncles who were playing marionette fighting…, "Peace reigns over the land under the heaven, the enemies are completely exterminated, after turning my poisonous body into a saint's body…who am I going to fight?"

At the sound of a 'hah', Chang Li was the first to laugh, she stretched out her hand and patted on Wen Leyang's shoulder, "That is correct!"

Upon saying that she looked to Tuo Xie immediately, and muttered softly, "Right?"

You've Got Me retained its life, the grand master Tuo Xie's pants was ignited in smoke…

The surroundings were noisy, everyone was bustling about while tidying the skeletons of the soil and rocks after the 'explosion', when Chi Maojiu suddenly remembered something, he picked up the child Leyang Wangle, and explained about the entire story of the longevity lock that was sealed by witchcraft spell to the grand master grandfather.

Tuo Xie was halfway through the story, when his tears flowed down unknowingly.

The ties of brotherly relationship, one promise that was upheld for thousands of years, whatever you entrusted, I would never dare to forget!

After a long while, Tuo Xie had only wiped away his tears and spoke to Chi Maojiu, "Wangle, Wangle, Leyang Wen's laborious efforts, are all recorded in the child's name, the eldest brother disciple's last testament, his children ought to have forgotten about that since earlier."

Upon saying that, he paused for a moment, he stretched out his hands and picked up the child, "From this day onwards, he is my son."

Chang Li immediately puffed up her chest, "He is my son too!"

Two days later, the group of leaders from the Miao clan and Luo family too came rushing over to the Nine Peaks Mountain, the first ancestors' last testament of over two thousand years, all sorts of persistence of over two thousand years, the great bloodshed of over ten years, the joys and sorrows of over ten years, were all melted into the stewed lamb and stir fried eggs!

After a series of joyous gatherings, Zhui Zi descended to the mortal world, to enjoy the worldly pleasures and the feeling of becoming a human, Chang Li and Tuo Xie too renounced from the world, it was unknown when would they go seeking for the trouble with that leaning tower, the sword immortals returned to their mountains to rebuild their sects, the demon monks returned to the temple to cultivate in Buddhism, the corpse father and daughter returned to the Yin's eye in an attempt to rebuild the corpse-forming land, the new generation inner disciples of the three families of Wen, Miao, Luo achieved vast progress in their cultivation in extremely fast speed, what a waste that they had no opponent.

When the crowd gathered once again, it was already two years later, Xiaoyi did not disappoint, she gave birth to a little Wen Leyang for Wen Leyang, meanwhile Mumu's stomach was swelling up too…

At dusk of the spring, it was in the nick of time for little Wen Leyang's full moon celebration, relatives and friends from all paths returned to the Nine Peaks Mountain again, Tuo Xie the husband and wife, Hanba the father and daughter, Qian Ren the master teacher and disciple, Zhui Zi, Liu Zheng, the demon rabbits and the rest were all there, there was endless affection towards one another upon the meeting, Wen Leyang was bustling about to welcome and entertain the guests, when an intense yet pleasing long hum suddenly echoed from the village chief's huge house!

When Wen Leyang got married, Hanba the father and daughter once gifted him a pair of spring birds, they soared out of the huge house, their red feathers with silver underlining were especially bright-colored and beautiful, their bodies were surrounded by a layer of misty yet dazzling glow, they were akin to two tiny divine phoenixes!

Darling Little Five was elated, she laughed as she cheered, "The spring birds have cultivated into spirits, they are conjuring the auspicious sign!"

The pair of spring birds soared out, they did not look for anybody else, but they circled and flew around Wen Leyang alone, they spun around continuously, when they opened their mouths, they gave out a crystal clear melody of the nature that made one felt intoxicated upon hearing it, and felt comfortable all over.

The old monk Ji Fei laughed aloud as he poked fun, "The spring birds are deep in love with Wen Leyang, the welfare as great as the heaven shall then befall on him, from this day on…" At this point, the old monk suddenly shut his mouth.

A moment later, everyone amongst the guests who had heard of the legend of the spring bird's auspicious sign, laughed aloud and spoke in unison –

Blessed with a hundred children!

Thousands of years' life!

Enjoyment of all the blessings in the world!

Happiness appeared on everyone's eyebrows, there were only Xiaoyi and Mumu, when they heard of the words of 'blessed with a hundred children', they turned pale with fear, if the auspicious sign was accurate, even inclusive of this child who had just completed the first month of his life, there were still ninety-nine more children to bear, when split between two persons, one person would need to bear fifty, another one forty-nine…

Zhui Zi laughed until she was beaming with joy, her gaze was sweeping back and forth between the two wives with malicious intent.

Xiaoyi held little Wen Leyang, she sized Zhui Zi up and down with the same malicious intent, she laughed and spoke softly, "How about…we split with you with thirty-three children for each of us?"

Zhui Zi was astounded, after a long while, her charming face blushed scarlet surprisingly…

Xiaoyi's laughter sounded prouder now, "What do you think? What do you think?" As she was saying that, she cleared one of her hands, and continuously gestured in two threes', "Thirty-three yes?"

A group of people were celebrating and chatting and laughing in the village, no one had noticed that, a toad that was bright red in color, the size of a palm crawled into the village chief's courtyard soundlessly, and continued to bore into the huge house.

Only when the mad toad was on Nine Peaks Mountain, it was the genuine Red Pot, no one dared to release it from the mountain right now, otherwise whether it turned into the evil soul, or turned into the split body Second Brother, no one could stand that.

Red Pot bored under the First Grandfather's buried treasures bed stealthily, it looked at the preciouses that densely-filled its eyes, it was suddenly elated, it opened its huge mouth and was about to swallow, when it suddenly triggered the prohibition spell personally laid down by the First Grandfather.

Following the First Grandfather's squall, countless monsters on the outside fled their nests with a loud bang, and dashed towards the village chief's huge house.

Red Pot turned pale with fear, it could no longer cared about stealing the preciouses, it ran and leaped its way as it escaped into the courtyard, following that it exerted its strength, it scurried onto the courtyard's wall…

It was the season of a warm spring once again, the wind was blowing and the flowers were flying, the grass was lush green and boundless, the hills were akin to smiling, Red Pot escaped out of the wall…it was all a splendor spring scenery!
