Chapter 1020: Chapter 79: Lost [Two in One]_2

But how could the formations laid out by a divine artifact be so easily breached by them?

In the face of absolute power, their resistance appeared utterly futile.

The light barrier couldn’t be broken through, and the Wang Jiang astrolabe above was unstoppable. In just a moment, more than half of the demon beasts that landed were either wounded or had perished. Blood soaked the earth, staining the entire coastline!

Those who came to seek refuge with the Western Sea Divine Phoenix were wild demon beasts from beyond the Far West Demon Clan, covering the sky and blocking the sun. Not all of them were Evil Demons; most simply wished to follow the Divine Phoenix for a better future, not expecting to be used as cannon fodder.

Perhaps most high-level figures of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands would have chosen to block them, and that would be the end of it.

But Wenren Yue was determined to annihilate them all here!

When the Heavenly King Sect made its move, it did so with decisive and cruel force. No matter their usual conduct, good or evil, since they came today, they should not expect to return.

While the demon beasts below were being slaughtered, a streak of sword aura came from the south, narrowly missed by the Western Sea Divine Phoenix.

Seeing the people from Tianshu Pavilion coming with the Seven-Star Divine Sword, the Western Sea Divine Phoenix, unafraid, laughed, "You really dare to come?"

"Even Demonic Evils dare to offend the Nine States Continent, what is there for us cultivators not to dare to come and suppress?" Immortal Wulou said with an imposing righteousness.

The flames of the Western Sea Divine Phoenix blazed fiercely, and it leaped into the air, "You dare to bring out the divine artifact, aren’t you worried about your own sect?"

"Hmm?" Immortal Wulou’s eyes flickered. His fingers moved, and with one hand he performed calculations. After a short while, his expression suddenly turned dark, "Silent Mountain!"

"With this time you have, you’d better hurry home to protect it," the Western Sea Divine Phoenix called out loudly.

Immortal Wulou, who rarely showed anger, raised his eyebrows, "Since Silent Mountain has already met with disaster, then I will obliterate your Western Sea to exact vengeance, an eye for an eye!"

Having said that, he raised the Seven-Star Divine Sword high!

Hiss—

This single beam of sword aura spanned the celestial sea, cutting through the fiery clouds. The Western Sea Divine Phoenix dared not withstand the might of the Divine Sword, hastily retracting its wings and retreating speedily.

As for the beast army that followed it, they were already fleeing in a panic under the onslaught of the Wang Jiang astrolabe.

Wenren Yue left one side open, forming a three-sided barrier that spared the coastline. This not only saved the expenditure of spiritual power but also prevented the demon beasts from desperately charging at the light barrier, giving them an outlet to flee.

However, the demon beasts that turned and dashed towards the coastline—in the targeted killing by the Wang Jiang astrolabe—were decimated, with barely one in ten making a successful escape. Even passing the coastline was no guarantee of their escape.

Because the Western Sea Divine Phoenix fled without looking back, the sky full of fiery clouds was quickly devoured by the endless stars. As the stars enveloped this part of the coast, the flittering demon beasts within this scattering starlight seemed as if frozen, suddenly moving sluggishly. Regardless of their level of cultivation, all were affected to some degree.

This was the great divine power unleashed by Ancestor Tian Xing with a flick of his sleeve.

The Wang Jiang astrolabe followed closely, continuing the slaughter. Several members of the Heavenly King Sect worked together, driving the astrolabe whose spiritual power seemed nearly inexhaustible, causing a rain of blood to scatter across the sky, and a vast expanse of red spread through the Western Sea. Countless sea fish swarmed in, competing to devour these spirit-infused blood and flesh.

Even some of the star positions on the Wang Jiang astrolabe felt uneasy, for the number of living beings they had killed that day was perhaps more than many had ever witnessed.

But Wenren Yue did not even blink, coldly pursuing these defenseless members of the Demonic Clan by virtue of the divine artifact.

A great battle was about to erupt, the opposition of Humans and Demons had already become clear.

If one were to be lenient now and leave behind even a single demon beast, it might later lead to the killing of a member of the Human Clan.

Since they dared to come ashore today, they should be prepared to die!

Being merciful would possibly allow the Western Sea Divine Phoenix to gather a large number of demon beasts upon returning. But today’s heavy-handed killing would leave no surviving demon beasts in the Mortal Realm willing to follow the Divine Phoenix.

In the high skies, Immortal Wulou frenziedly drove the Seven-Star Divine Sword, attempting to slay the Western Sea Divine Phoenix, but how easy is it to kill a Limiter? Although he could not match the might of the divine artifact, escaping was not hard for him.

Immortal Wulou, relentless, intended to pursue into the depths of the Western Sea.

Fearing he would suffer a loss, Ancestor Tian Xing swiftly intervened, shouting, "Don’t act rashly!"

Among the sect leaders of various Immortal Sects, Immortal Wulou was not considered top-tier. If he were to chase alone, whether or not he could slay the Divine Phoenix was uncertain. In case he fell into a trap, the Seven-Star Divine Sword might be compromised.

That would be an unbearable loss indeed.

"Ah!" Immortal Wulou and several high-ranking members of Tianshu Pavilion all had bloodshot eyes, "This enmity shall not be shared under the sky!"

...

"It’s truly a pity they didn’t pursue,"

The Divine Phoenix, having plunged into the depths of the Western Sea, carried a fiery cloud with intense vigor, streaking past a void. Moments later, a ring of light appeared within the void.

The ring shrank to the size of a portal, and through it stepped the figures of Venerable Wanfa and Ancestor Wu Chao—both ancient beyond their years, suspended above the sea breeze, their presence ominous and dark.

The Western Sea Divine Phoenix also transformed into the figure of a middle-aged emperor, clad in a crimson-golden robe with a sky-reaching golden crown, returning and shouted angrily, "If they don’t come, do you not plan on making a move?"

"Divine Phoenix, please calm your rage. The other party has Ancestor Tian Xing and two Divine Artifacts, among them the Wang Jiang astrolabe that can unite the power of the entire Heavenly King Sect. Even with the three of us combined, it would be difficult to match them head-on," Venerable Wanfa said leisurely, "We must use wisdom over force."

"All of my subordinates have been sent to their deaths, what do we have to use?" the Western Sea Divine Phoenix said with frustration.

This time, he had completely lost all the Demon Beasts that followed him and although he wasn’t too heartbroken, not achieving any results was unacceptable.

In contrast, Wu Chao and Wanfa, these two old foxes, hadn’t paid any price at all.

"While our strength is not enough, if we had one more powerful ally, that would be sufficient," Venerable Wanfa continued.

"Who?" Ancestor Wu Chao also asked, "Who in this world could contend with a Divine Artifact?"

"Naturally, it is my former ally, Evil Ksitigarbha," Venerable Wanfa named.

"Evil Ksitigarbha?" The Western Sea Divine Phoenix was slightly surprised, "After killing the Demon God, wasn’t he also on the verge of death and fled? Can you find him?"

"I couldn’t find him before, but now I can," Venerable Wanfa said with a smile.

He once again raised the Universe Ring, opening a portal within it, revealing a gray stone wall.

"This is...?" The two Demons looked at him.

"This is the ’ignorant’ of Tianshu Pavilion, activated by the secret methods of the Starry Sky, it can observe matters throughout the world," Venerable Wanfa laughed, "With the help of this treasure, in theory, we can track down anything in the world."

His most important gain from destroying Silent Mountain of Tianshu Pavilion was in fact this ’ignorant.’

"Isn’t that a secret technique of the Observing Heavenly Meridian, and you know the secret methods of the Starry Sky?" Ancestor Wu Chao looked at him.

"Heh," Venerable Wanfa waved his hand, and the stone wall lit up with light, with the characters of the great Dao flowing, "Have the two of you forgotten what my name is?"

Regarding this inscrutable member of the Human Clan, both Demons actually held some fear. Yet the situation was indeed as stated, without the power of Wanfa, they truly stood no chance against Tian Xing and Baize, who were bolstered by Divine Artifacts.

So they had no choice but to relent to Wanfa’s plans.

"Can you now see where Evil Ksitigarbha is?" the Divine Phoenix asked.

"The ignorant may not be able to provide a clear answer, but at least it can offer a general clue," Venerable Wanfa said, "Before seeking out Evil Ksitigarbha, we could first ask another question."

As he spoke, he conjured a piece of talisman paper between his fingers, drawing through the air, swiftly writing down all related information about the question he wanted to ask, then stopping.

"Who will prove their godliness in this recent divine battle within the Mortal Realm?"

The question he asked immediately made the eyes of the two Demons beside him light up; it had to be said, this was a question they were most concerned with as well.

They saw the stone wall’s light swirl, with the characters of the great Dao changing wildly. After a long while, Venerable Wanfa turned pale. If the consumption kept up, he feared his cultivation wouldn’t be sufficient.

But this was normal, after all, he was asking about a matter related to the highest godliness of the Mortal Realm. Even a vague answer would not be easy to come by. It was also possible that no result could be obtained.

Swoosh——

After a dazzling display of shifting luminescence, the stone wall finally offered an answer. Yet, it was not in the form of great Dao characters but rather in a picture-like existence.

It was exceedingly simple, with just a few strokes.

"Is this the outline of a mountain?" the Western Sea Divine Phoenix mused, eyes narrowed.

"This seems to be..." Ancestor Wu Chao’s expression turned to one of shock and doubt.

Venerable Wanfa’s expression was dark as water, as he slowly exhaled two words: "Shu Mountain."
