Chapter 985: 894 Hundred Refinement Divine Monarch’s Zouhua Cave

Over an hour later, the Qianhuo Boat appeared over a vast bamboo forest.

"Master, a Mahayana from the Qingxuan Clan is engaged in a magical battle with a Buddhist Cultivator. The Buddhist Cultivator is at a disadvantage, to the southeast," said Shen Chan.

"A Buddhist Cultivator? Let’s go take a look," said Shen Long.

He didn’t have a favorable impression of the Qingxuan Clan, since the Qingxuan Clan, the Chili Clan, and the Blood Shadow Clan were allies, and it was with their combined efforts that the Lin Family had been destroyed.

Taoist Friend Shen Long cast a spell, and the Qianhuo Boat flew towards the southeast.

In an open field, Master Vajra and Lai Ting were engaged in a magical duel.

Above Master Vajra’s head was an enormous humanoid phantom shimmering with golden light. His aura was wilted, while Lai Ting’s expression was icy cold.

Master Vajra made a spell gesture and struck towards the void with his right hand.

Above Lai Ting’s head, the void rippled, and a huge golden palm emerged, covered with profound Buddhist runes, slamming down toward her.

Lai Ting reacted swiftly, the female phantom above her head spat out a stream of bluish-gold spiritual light, intercepting the golden palm.

Her body radiated with bluish-gold spiritual light. A bluish-gold flying dagger, about two feet long, shot from her forehead—a Divine Soul Attack.

The bluish-gold flying dagger went straight for Master Vajra and quickly reached him.

As Master Vajra tried to evade, a powerful gravitational force emerged from the ground, anchoring him firmly in place.

At that moment, a three-foot-long red flying sword shot forth, shattering the bluish-gold flying dagger.

"Who dares to foil my plan?" Lai Ting’s face turned cold.

An amiable and pleasant female voice sounded, "My dear, you might as well give up resisting. If you do, my master might leave your corpse intact."

The golden jade pendant on Lai Ting’s chest shone brilliantly, producing a golden ring of light that enveloped her entirely.

"Hmph, your illusions are useless against me," Lai Ting sneered.

The void above her head fluctuated, and a giant blue dragon claw appeared, bearing down on her.

At the same time, a shrill scream pierced the air. Lai Ting was unaffected, but a powerful gravitational force from the ground held her in place.

With no way to avoid it, she made a spell gesture, and the female phantom’s right hand gleamed brilliantly as it met the blue dragon claw.

With thunderous explosions, the female phantom was smashed to pieces by the blue dragon claw, causing Lai Ting to spew out a mouthful of essence blood, her face turning ashen.

She opened her mouth, and nine banner flags twinkling with white light shot out. After circling her once, they formed a thick white light screen that protected her whole body.

The blue dragon claw struck the white light screen, which cracked instantly like flimsy paper.

After ascending to the middle stage of Mahayana, Shen Long’s strength had increased significantly.

The blue dragon claw smashed Lai Ting’s head, and her corpse emitted a white light, transforming into a shimmering piece of jade stone.

With a "snap," the white jade stone shattered, falling apart.

Miles away in the void, a white light shone, revealing Lai Ting’s figure, her eyes filled with terror.

Her body radiated white light, seemingly about to use a secret technique to escape.

Suddenly, the sky darkened as the black heavens tore asunder, revealing a massive five-colored thunder pillar that illuminated the earth.

The five-colored thunder pillar streaked directly towards Lai Ting, while at the same time, the gravitational force on the ground dramatically increased.

Lai Ting felt her body uncontrollably plummeting towards the ground. She extended her right hand, which glowed with white light, and slapped it above her head. A white giant palm flashed out to meet the five-colored thunder pillar.

She sacrificed a small white umbrella, holding it above her head; it cast down a white light screen, enveloping her in protection.

The five-colored thunder pillar collided with the white giant palm, which crumbled instantly as if a fist had hit soft tofu.

The five-colored thunder pillar struck the white light screen, engulfing it in a blaze of five-colored lightning.

A sonic boom resonated, and a golden rainbow shot forth, piercing the five-colored lightning, followed by a woman’s scream.

Lai Ting flew out from the midst of the five-colored lightning, impaled by a golden lightning spear through her chest, pinning her to a tall peak; Lai Ting was devoid of life.

A Nascent Soul that bore a striking resemblance to Lai Ting emerged from the corpse and hadn’t flown far when a blue light fell from the sky, entangling the Nascent Soul and sucking it into Shen Jiu’s mouth, who swallowed it whole.

Master Vajra looked up and saw a Red Flying Boat flying over.

"Taoist Friend Shen, it’s you! Thank you for lending a hand."

Master Vajra clasped his hands in gratitude.

Without Shen Long’s help, he would have undoubtedly perished.

In his earlier years, Master Vajra had sparred with Shen Long and lost to him. After many years, he had now ascended to the Middle Stage of Mahayana.

"It was a mere trifle; no need for such politeness, Master."

Shen Long said.

"Taoist Friend Shen, I have discovered an Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Dwelling with its restrictions being the Five Elements Unification Array from the ten great ancient prohibitions, known for its exceptionally strong defense. Are you interested? I only want the Nine-Colored Agate Jade for refining a treasure of the Buddhist Sect."

Master Vajra said slowly.

"Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Dwelling? Five Elements Unification Array?"

Shen Long revealed a contemplative look on his face.

He had certainly heard of the Five Elements Unification Array—it was famous for its defensive power within the Cultivation Realm.

"The location is not very far from here, in a small valley a million miles northwest. I simply want the Nine-Colored Agate Jade; this person might well be the Hundred Refinement Divine Monarch."

Master Vajra added.

He alone could not break the Array’s restrictions, and if he waited for his injuries to fully heal before entering, the cave dwelling might be snatched away by other Mahayana Cultivators.

"Alright! Lead us there, if there really is a Nine-Colored Agate Jade, it’s yours. If not, we can still share some of the spoils with you."

Shen Long said.

"The location is in a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, a million miles to the northwest."

Master Vajra stated.

Shen Jiu collected all the valuables from Lai Ting’s body and consumed her corpse.

"Master, please come aboard! Let’s head there together."

Shen Long said.

Master Vajra agreed and flew down onto the deck of the Qianhuo Boat.

Chu Buyu recited a spell, and the Qianhuo Boat sped off in the northwest direction.

Before long, the Qianhuo Boat stopped above a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, with overgrown weeds inside.

Shen Chan flew down to the ground and breathed out a streak of golden radiance, striking upon an uneven stretch of rock face.

The rock face radiated a burst of gentle five-colored Spiritual Light, and a thick five-colored light barrier appeared, with its surface covered in profound five-colored Runes.

"So many years have passed, the power of the Five Elements Unification Array must have diminished a lot by now! Let me give it a try."

Five Thunder Divine Monarch said.

With a manipulation of his spell, the sky darkened, an enormous void opened in the high heavens, and a massive Five-Colored Thunder Pillar surged out, striking the five-colored light barrier.

With a thunderous roar, the five-colored light barrier was enveloped by the five-colored thunder.

The Five Thunder Divine Monarch raised his right hand, and a Golden Lightning Spear flew out, entering the midst of the five-colored thunder, creating a dull thud as if it had hit an iron wall.

After a while, the five-colored thunder dissipated, leaving the five-colored light barrier unscathed.

"Truly worthy of the ten great ancient prohibitions! It certainly is different from an ordinary Eighth Rank Array."

The Five Thunder Divine Monarch praised.

"Taoist Friend Shen, let’s join forces and tackle it!"

Master Vajra suggested.

"There’s no need for such trouble, my Spirit Beast can break this Array."

Shen Long confidently remarked and released Shen Ao.

"You two break the Formation!"

Shen Long instructed.

Shen Chan and Shen Ao agreed, with Shen Ao landing in front of the five-colored light barrier.
