Chapter 918: 827 Competing for the Xuantian Object

A vast and undulating red mountain range, the temperature here astoundingly high, the air filled with a thick sulfur smell, and volcanic eruptions occurring from time to time.

A red escape light flew in from the distance and came to a stop with a flash.

As the light retracted, a Qianhuo Boat revealed itself with Shen Long, Shen Chan, Chu Buyu, and Li Dong standing on it.

"The Fire Crocodile is right ahead."

Shen Chan pointed to a red volcano in the distance as he spoke.

Shen Long pinched out a spell, and a huge humanoid phantom appeared above his head.

"Obey my command, come out and pay your respects swiftly!"

The humanoid phantom spoke, its voice spreading across ten thousand miles.

A deafening roar of a beast emanated from the red volcano in the distance, and two streaks of red light flew out, coming to a stop after a flash.

Once the light retracted, there appeared a huge red Fire Phoenix and a huge red crocodile, both of gigantic size.

The Red Fire Phoenix was ethereal, not physical, made of seventh-grade Spirit Flame, whereas the red crocodile was corporeal, its body surface patterned with flame-like markings.

"Who are you?"

The red crocodile spoke, its body trembling nonstop.

It sensed a tremendous oppressive force, not daring to harbor any thoughts of resistance.

"A seventh-grade Late Stage Lihuo Crocodile! Can be used for oneself."

Chu Buyu praised.

"The one to subdue you will have you work for me! Here, eat this Seven Marvels Profound Moon Fruit, and you should be able to transform into human form."

Shen Long spoke, flicked his sleeve, and a Seven Marvels Profound Moon Fruit flew out, heading straight for the Lihuo Crocodile.

The Lihuo Crocodile opened its mouth, allowing the Seven Marvels Profound Moon Fruit to fly in and swallowed it.

Its body emitted crackling sounds from its bones, and a bright red light radiated from its body.

Shen Long opened his mouth, and the Qinglian True Flame flew out, transforming into a Green Fire Phoenix, rushing towards the Red Fire Phoenix.

The Red Fire Phoenix attempted to dodge, but the Dharma Nature above Shen Long’s head spoke: "Suppress!"

As the command was issued, the Red Fire Phoenix was suppressed as if immobilized.

The Green Fire Phoenix quickly devoured the Red Fire Phoenix, its power greatly enhancing.

The Lihuo Crocodile transformed into a tall, burly man with crimson-red eyes.

He knelt down and said, "Thank you, my lord, for bestowing the fruit."

"From now on, you shall be called Shen Crocodile!"

Shen Long pronounced.

"Yes, my lord."

Shen Crocodile readily agreed.

Chu Buyu pinched out a spell, and the Qianhuo Boat flew towards the front, stopping above a red volcano. At the mountain’s peak was a thousand-dimensional fire pool, beside which were over a dozen red Lingzhi mushrooms.

"Lihuo Reishi Mushrooms, all older than sixty thousand years."

Li Dong’s face revealed joy.

Shen Long went to the ground, gingerly excavated all the Lihuo Reishi Mushrooms, and placed them into a jade box.

Shen Long sensed something, turned his head to look into the southwest direction, and saw an escape light appear in the distant sky, halting with a flash. Yuling True Monarch appeared.

"Grandmaster!"

Upon seeing Yuling True Monarch, Shen Long was elated.

"Disciple pays respects to Master Uncle Wu."

Chu Buyu and Li Dong hurriedly gave their salutations.

Yuling True Monarch’s face was full of smiles as he said, "Haven’t you encountered Master Nephew Qin?"

"Grandmaster, Senior Sister Qin has been harmed."

Shen Long narrated the whole incident.

"Qingxuan Clan! Put this matter on their tab for now."

Yuling True Monarch stated sternly, seemingly recalling something, he continued, "I have already obtained the Remnants of True Spirits, and many resources as well, you all—"

He had yet to finish speaking when a deafening boom erupted in the distance, a huge green light soaring into the sky and piercing the clouds.

Shen Chan’s eyes brightened, and she spoke with a frown, "Master, it’s too far away, I can’t see clearly."

Shen Long’s body radiated a bright yellow light, and his ears grew larger.

Thousand Mile Ear!

With the improvement in Shen Long’s cultivation, the listening range of Thousand Mile Ear extended farther.

"A Mahayana Cultivator from the Five Lights Clan is dueling with a Mahayana from the Qianqing Sect, and they’ve revealed each other’s identity during the fight."

Shen Long said.

"Let’s go and give a hand to the cultivator from Qianqing Sect!"

Yuling True Monarch said, turning into an Escape Light and flying towards the distance.

On a vast grassland, Master Qianqing is dueling with Mo Shuo. The ground is crisscrossed with large cracks, and neither side could claim an advantage.

Master Qianqing pinched a Sword technique, and five Flying Swords flickering with green light released a blinding aura, launching a massive stream of green Sword qi directly at Mo Shuo.

Mo Shuo’s body radiated a blinding five-colored Spiritual Light. When the green Sword qi touched the five-colored Spiritual Light, it stopped in its tracks.

Master Qianqing’s eyebrows furrowed tightly. The Spirit Imprisoning Forbidden Light from the Five Lights Clan could immobilize treasures within a certain range, and with Mo Shuo’s early-stage Mahayana Cultivation, even a top-grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure would be locked down by the Spirit Imprisoning Forbidden Light.

Mo Shuo was also unable to do anything about Master Qianqing. His Sword Formation was formidable, and if it weren’t for Mo Shuo’s control over the Spirit Imprisoning Forbidden Light, he would have already been slain by Master Qianqing.

Just then, ripples appeared over Mo Shuo’s head, and a furry yellow bear paw swiped down out of nowhere.

Mo Shuo reacted quickly, his right hand shining brightly as he slammed out a palm.

Void twisted and deformed, and a Golden Giant Paw flashed out, colliding with the yellow bear paw, annihilating each other.

A loud roar of a beast echoed, a yellow soundwave swept toward Mo Shuo from his seat, reaching right in front of him in an instant.

Mo Shuo pinched a spell, three Flying Daggers flickering with golden light released blinding golden luminescence, shattering the yellow soundwave.

A yellow spear came from the distant sky, stopping the three Golden Flying Daggers.

A gust of wind blew over Mo Shuo’s head, and a huge Green Giant Eagle appeared above Mo Shuo.

The Green Giant Eagle gently flapped its wings, sweeping out a wave of green light, covering a hundred miles around.

The incident happened suddenly; Mo Shuo was trapped by the green light and couldn’t move.

The Green Giant Eagle reached down with its talons, which were blocked by Mo Shuo’s Protective Spirit Light.

The Green Giant Eagle opened its mouth and shot out a thick beam of green light, piercing through Mo Shuo’s Protective Spirit Light.

Mo Shuo’s head was penetrated by the sharp talons of the Green Giant Eagle, and his body shone with a golden light, turning into a Jade Stone with a constant flow of golden light.

With a muffled sound, the Jade Stone shattered.

Mo Shuo appeared in the void thousands of miles away, his expression filled with terror.

A thousand-zhang tall green tornado swept over, followed closely by a Sky-Supporting Giant Sword, flickering with green light. The void was torn apart, and a huge ravine appeared on the ground, as if heaven and earth were about to be cleaved by the giant sword.

Mo Shuo’s face changed, he pinched a spell, and the three Golden Flying Daggers merged into one, turning into a Golden Giant Blade about a zhang long. It repelled the yellow spear and spiraled up to meet the green tornado.

Loud booming sounds echoed, the green tornado was split apart by the Golden Giant Blade, which then collided with the Sky-Supporting Giant Sword, making a muffled sound of metal clashing with metal.

A gust of wind blew past Mo Shuo’s head, a Green Giant Eagle appeared, which instantly glowed red and changed into a massive Red Fire Lion wrapped in red flames.

The Red Fire Lion opened its mouth and spewed out a thick beam of red flames, landing on Mo Shuo’s Protective Spirit Light.

Mo Shuo’s Protective Spirit Light emitted a puff of green smoke and dimmed, the Red Fire Lion’s right hoof stomped down on him, shattering Mo Shuo’s Protective Spirit Light and crushing his head as well.

The Nascent Soul had just flown out of the body when the Red Fire Lion transformed into Yuling True Monarch, who immediately grabbed the Nascent Soul and searched his soul.

"He hasn’t touched the Mahayana of the Qingxuan Clan!"

Yuling True Monarch said with a frown.

"Thank you, Taoist Friend Wu, for your assistance."

Master Qianqing expressed his gratitude.

"It was just a small effort, Taoist Friend Lin, no need to be polite. If you don’t mind, let’s join forces! If we encounter strong enemies, it’s better to have each other’s back."

Yuling True Monarch proposed, confiscating the possessions on Mo Shuo’s body.

After a brief consideration, Master Qianqing agreed.

Shen Long and the other two hurried over, meeting up with Yuling True Monarch. Shen Long obtained Mo Shuo’s corpse, intending to feed it to his Spirit Beast.

Master Qianqing flicked his sleeve, and a Dragon Boat flickering with blue light shot out, carrying the five of them high into the sky.

The Green Dragon Boat is a top-grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure, and its flying speed is very fast.

Two days later, the Green Dragon Boat appeared above a dense black forest, ahead thunder flashed continuously, and booms resounded non-stop.

"Eh, it’s Taoist Friend Wang."

Master Qianqing frowned and said.

Three Mahayana Cultivators were dueling; Five Thunder Divine Monarch was facing Lai Chen and Lai Shan, with a gigantic Colossal Tiger lying in a pool of blood.

Master Qianqing and Yuling True Monarch arrived quickly and exchanged a look, their expressions serious.

"Taoist Friends Wu and Lin, help me kill them, don’t let them get their hands on the Xuantian Object."

Five Thunder Divine Monarch spoke.

"The Xuantian Object!"

Master Qianqing and Yuling True Monarch were taken aback.
