Chapter 826: 735 Overkill

The Xuanguang Mountain Range was located at the border between the Human Clan and the Five Lights Clan, stretching tens of billions of miles. The boundary was too long to defend thoroughly, but both clans still stationed some cultivators to patrol regularly.

A streak of black light appeared in the distant sky and stopped with a flash, revealing a flying boat radiating incessant black light.

Shen Long, Chu Buyu, Zhang Shuo, and Xu Dong, along with four others, stood on the black flying boat, their faces full of caution.

"The Zouhua Cave is right here!"

Zhang Qing pointed in a certain direction and spoke with a grave expression.

"Break the restriction quickly! Lest the night brings more dreams."

A plump woman in a green dress urged.

Xu Dong pinched a spell, and the black flying boat flew forward; after half a day, the speed of the black flying boat slowed down.

"The Zouhua Cave is right there!"

Zhang Shuo pointed to a giant valley in the distance.

Just as Xu Dong was about to control the black flying boat toward the giant valley, Shen Long spoke up, "Hold on, I need to investigate this."

"We have been here twice already; there hasn’t been any problem. Taoist Friend Shen, you worry too much!"

The woman in the green dress frowned as she spoke.

They had all been here twice, attempting to break the restrictions twice.

"Better safe than sorry."

Chu Buyu’s tone was calm; he opened his Divine Sense wide but did not notice anything unusual.

Shen Long flicked his wrist, and the Hundred Eyes Cicada flew out from the Spirit Beast Bracelet, its eyes emitting dazzling golden light.

The Hundred Eyes Cicada issued a sharp cicada cry; Shen Long and Chu Buyu flew away from the black flying boat with their faces full of caution.

"Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, what is the meaning of this?"

Zhang Shuo was slightly taken aback.

"I would like to ask you the same, what does it mean to have people ambushed there?"

Shen Long’s tone was indifferent.

"What? There’s an ambush there?"

Zhang Shuo’s face darkened, and he soared into the sky with Zhang Qing.

"Taoist Friend Shen, you are talking nonsense. We’ve been here twice already. If there really had been an ambush, we would have fallen victim long ago."

Xu Dong’s face displayed displeasure.

"Since there is no ambush, feel free to proceed. We will not accompany you."

Shen Long and Chu Buyu transformed into two streaks of Escape Light, breaking through the air and flying high into the sky.

"They want to tip off the Five Lights Clan; stop them."

Xu Dong said with a dark face.

Zhang Shuo and Zhang Qing remained unfazed, closely following behind Shen Long and Chu Buyu.

They knew Shen Long was a Spirit Controller, and his Spiritual Beasts and Insects were formidable.

"Your Hundred Eyes Cicada can actually see through my modified Eight Gates Yellow Sand Formation; truly impressive. But since you’ve come, you might as well stay!"

A cold, ruthless male voice came from the sky.

As soon as the voice fell, a fierce wind arose, turning the ground within a hundred thousand miles into sand. Massive amounts of yellow sand rushed into the sky, merging into large Yellow Sand Flood Dragons, plunging toward the four people including Shen Long.

Two other Void Refinement Cultivators also reacted, flying off into the distance. A hundred and eight beams of yellow light soared into the sky, converging into a giant yellow light screen that covered a hundred thousand miles.

Xu Dong and the woman in the green dress’s faces turned cold; they both activated their Dharma Nature to attack Shen Long and the others.

Shen Long’s body glowed with yellow light, transforming into a thousand-zhang tall Yellow Giant Ape.

The Hundred Eyes Cicada’s eyes emitted golden rays, striking the yellow light screen, which immediately emitted a puff of blue smoke, and its Spiritual Light dimmed.

The Yellow Giant Ape threw a punch, smashing into the yellow light screen, which shattered like paper.

"Mutated Spirit Insect?"

A voice full of surprise came from the sky.

"A sixth tier Formation, and you thought to trap us?"

Chu Buyu sneered.

There was no seventh-level Formation here, but a sixth-level Formation; otherwise, Shen Long wouldn’t have broken the Formation so easily.

They had originally thought that their opponent was a Unity Cultivator, but it turned out that the opponent was only a Void Refinement Cultivator. If it had been a Unity Cultivator, they wouldn’t have had any chance to escape.

A scream came from behind. Chu Buyu turned his head and saw Zhang Shuo and Zhang Qing engulfed by a river of blood, their bodies visibly dissolving into blood water at a speed visible to the naked eye and merging into the river of blood.

Two other Void Refinement Cultivators also couldn’t escape the calamity and were sucked into a towering black tower shrouded in black vapor.

A huge blood-colored lotus floated in mid-air, holding a burly man in a blood-red robe and a voluptuous woman in a purple dress, both in the late stage of Void Refinement.

"So there’s a Mutated Hundred Eyes Cicada, no wonder it could see through the Restriction."

Xu Dong said with a somber face.

The Eight Gates of Mysterious Light Formation and the modified Eight Gates Yellow Sand Formation bore slight similarity, with only two characters different in their names; the former was a seventh-level Formation while the latter was a sixth-level Formation, and the difference in price was more than tenfold, not to mention the difference in power.

"Let’s quickly deal with them so we don’t attract Cultivators from the Five Lights Sect."

Xu Dong said in a deep voice, pinching a spell. The black tower emitted a blinding black light and disappeared from its place.

The woman in the purple dress took out a long flute that twinkled with purple light and began to play it by her lips, producing a cheerful flute melody.

Shen Long and Chu Buyyu acted as if nothing was wrong. As the Void fluctuated, a black tower twinkling with black light appeared above their heads. The tower was decorated with numerous skulls, which seemed to come alive, emitting a piercing wail.

Shen Long flipped his right hand, and a golden light flashed: a long rod in constant motion with golden light appeared in his hand—the Top Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, the Golden Chime Rod.

He swung the Golden Chime Rod, striking the black tower.

The black tower flew backwards, its surface riddled with cracks, and after a short while, the entire black tower exploded.

The difference between a Top Grade and a Middle Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure seemed minor, but the power difference was more than tenfold.

"Top Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure! Oh no, we’ve hit a tough one!"

The man in the blood-red robe exclaimed.

Shen Long swung the Golden Chime Rod, charging towards them.

The shadow of the rod was like the wind, and the wind of the rod was like thunder.

The four figures of the blood-robed man showed great horror, trying to dodge. Chu Buyyu then took out a palm-sized black bell with a toad pattern on it.

The Middle Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, the Soul Devouring Bell, had the Spirit Soul of a Sixth Stage Late Period Soul-devouring Clam infused into it.

Chu Buyyu pinched a spell, and the black bell emitted a blinding black light.

The sound of "Ding Ding Ding" rang out. The four figures of the blood-red-robed man felt as if a sharp sword had struck their Divine Souls, tearing them apart, and their faces twisted in agony, their bodies trembling.

They had not yet recovered when a long rod, constantly in motion with golden light, came smashing towards them.

With several "bang" sounds, their defenses shattered like paper, and the four were struck by the golden rod, their bodies instantly becoming a heap of broken flesh.

In the face of absolute power, their defenses were as flimsy as paper.

Four beams of spiritual light shined from their corpses, transforming into four sections of glowing Spirit Bamboo, which then shattered into pieces.

Hundreds of miles away in the Void, four beams of light shone, revealing the figures of the four blood-robed men.

Their looks were terrified; this time they had kicked an iron plate. A single Top Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure cost over two thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones, which they couldn’t afford.

The sound of "Ding Ding Ding" rang out again, and the four men’s expressions were distressed, their faces contorted, their Divine Souls tearing apart.

Taking this opportunity, Shen Long swung the Golden Chime Rod, effortlessly smashing the four into a pulp. As soon as their Nascent Souls left their bodies, they were enveloped by a red glow and drawn into the Qianhuo Tower.

Under normal circumstances, Shen Long would have sparred with them, but since Cultivators from the Five Lights Sect roamed this area, they didn’t want to delay and sought a quick resolution.

The power of the Top Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure was beyond Shen Long’s expectation; no wonder it was so expensive.

Shen Long gestured with one hand, and eight Storage Bracelets of various colors flew towards him, landing in his hand.

"Bad news, there are Void Refinement Cultivators coming, possibly from the Five Lights Sect."

Shen Long frowned.

Chu Buyu packed up the Qianhuo Tower and other treasures, then summoned the Qianhuo Boat, carrying them away from the area.

After a while, a golden Escape Light appeared in the distant sky, stopped with a flicker, and revealed a golden Flying Boat more than ten zhang long.

Five men and a woman stood on the golden Flying Boat, led by a man of medium build in a golden robe.

"The Human Cultivators dare come here? They’re courting death, chase them! Notify other patrolling members of our clan; we must stop them."

The man in the golden robe said in a deep voice, his face full of murderous intent.

He pinched a spell, and the golden Flying Boat emitted a blinding golden light, soaring into the high sky and quickly vanishing.
