Chapter 1025: Chapter 82 Evil Ksitigarbha’s Anger [Combined Volume 2]_2

"It’s you again!" Venerable Azure Dragon, seeing him, felt as if his enemy had appeared before him, his eyes burning with hatred. At that time, the main force plundering Penglai consisted of the Underworld King Sect. With Ksitigarbha’s True Body in his possession, he brutally assaulted the Venerable Azure Dragon.

Now, without Ksitigarbha’s True Body, the Venerable Azure Dragon naturally no longer feared him.

"Roar—" Instantly, a dragon’s roar shook the heavens, and a phantom silhouette of a dragon’s tail emerged, sweeping across with tremendous force.

Lin Poyun had no intention of fighting back and turned to flee immediately.

As the Venerable Azure Dragon gave chase, he realized that the situation had worsened.

On the newly formed mountain peak, Great Master of Mars stood ominously at the center, hands tucked in his sleeves. Most of the Penglai disciples were still working at Shu Mountain and had not returned. However, some disciples were left at the sect. They stood frozen, like soulless puppets.

The Dao of Chaos had entangled their destinies.

Lu Mountain Old Man, on the other hand, had a solemn expression as he confronted the Heavenly Master.

A few Seventh Realm cultivators who had stayed behind were being pursued and attacked by Ji Lingyu and Huo Tianya. Though there were only two of them, managing four or five of the same realm was not beyond their abilities.

If it were the heyday of Penglai, this lineup would have merely been sent on a fool’s errand; but the current power of Penglai was not even a fraction of what it once was, and the forces of Mars had easily invaded.

This is what is meant by ’a tiger that has fallen to the plain is bullied by dogs’.

"What do you intend to do?" Lu Mountain Old Man asked solemnly. "What is there left in Penglai Upper Sect worth coveting?"

"We merely wish to borrow one item, which we will return after use," the Heavenly Master said with a slight smile. "We hope you will oblige."

"The Eastern Sea Time Wheel?" Venerable Azure Dragon questioned back.

"Exactly." The Heavenly Master nodded.

Everybody understood that the now impoverished Penglai had nothing else worth such an effort.

"No problem," said the Venerable Azure Dragon, who then flipped his hand conjuring a stream of azure light.

Whiz—

The Bronze Giant Wheel rose into the air, not to be handed over to the Heavenly Master, but instead it spun mid-air. A vortex of light targeted the Heavenly Master, causing his lifespan to rapidly deplete.

Although the Venerable Azure Dragon was not Daoist Master Wu Ya, and his execution could not match that of Cang Sheng from before, this was still a top-tier Divine Artifact, and the power it unleashed was equally terrifying.

Seeing his entirely uncompromising stance, the Heavenly Master did not attempt to use the Penglai disciples to blackmail the Azure Dragon. Instead, he swiftly dove downwards and disappeared from the spot, avoiding the fate of being targeted by the Eastern Sea Time Wheel.

Meanwhile, Lu Mountain Old Man also made his move against Lin Poyun. Vast black soil surged up, almost burying the Underworld King Sect Master within.

As soon as they clashed, the two powerful cultivators of Penglai gained the upper hand.

But the winds and clouds suddenly changed in the arena; a giant golden hand descended from the sky and struck the Eastern Sea Time Wheel, emitting a massive resonant hum!

"Unlawful thief Wanfa!" Venerable Azure Dragon shouted.

It was this very man who had stolen the Universe Ring from him before, and he would not allow such an event to occur again!

The Eastern Sea Time Wheel spun wildly, and its light targeted Venerable Wanfa in the sky with lifespan eroding rapidly like a rushing river.

Yet, Venerable Wanfa’s divine hand clenched tightly, not loosening its grip on the wheel’s edge. He strained as if he intended to forcibly take the Divine Artifact.

Naturally, Venerable Azure Dragon could not let him proceed unchecked. He channeled all the power of Zhou Tian into the Divine Artifact, and such intense loss of lifespan was something even Divine Beasts couldn’t withstand.

Still, Venerable Wanfa did not step back.

As the stalemate continued, another piercing azure light broke through the sky from afar!

"You despicable thief!"

The object cutting through the clouds was none other than the Shu Mountain Divine Boat!

It turned out that after the last incident involving Tianshu Pavilion, alliances across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands were strengthened. The recurring catastrophes prompted the Immortal Sects to heighten their alert, establishing a mutual aid mechanism to prevent being defeated individually.

It was impossible for all Immortal Sects to move close together, as covering long distances could also result in disasters like Tianshu Pavilion. Thus, Regent Residence proposed a plan for nearby Immortal Sects to assist each other.

Each sect established a rapid reaction force.

After the destruction of Tianshu Pavilion, the remaining members were temporarily sheltered in Heavenly King Sect with two Divine Artifacts on guard, ensuring no further worries.

The Heavenly Gang Sect of the Southern Region, Shu Mountain, and Xin Penglai supported each other. If one was attacked by evil spirits, the other two would rapidly come to their aid. Given their proximity, reinforcing each other was feasible.

Especially Shu Mountain, possessing both a Limiter and a Divine Artifact, was responsible for giving aid first.

In the North Region, the Endless Sword Sect and the Lunar Sect were undoubtedly expected to assist each other. However, the Lunar Sect’s Divine Artifact could not leave their domain, making external aid challenging though they were fine defensively.

Luckily, the Endless Sword Sect was centrally located, not far from Central State’s Yu Capital City, pulling it closer into this supportive network.

However, after Penglai relocated, Misty Mountain Immortal of the Eastern Sea became isolated, vulnerable to attacks and difficult to support. Amidst Immortal Jiuyi’s worry, a Buddhist friend from Yunque Temple reached out with a helping hand.

Yunque Temple shifted its Buddha Clouds over the Eastern Sea, significantly shrinking the distance to Misty Mountain Immortal and making them neighbors as close as floors in a building, where they could easily see each other upon looking up or down.

The downside was that the lighting at Misty Mountain Immortal was compromised for some time.

Facing the cunning and rampant forces of Venerable Wanfa and Mars, the righteous Immortal Sects felt somewhat helpless. After all, the enemy was in the dark while they were exposed, and even with a clear advantage in strength, not being able to locate the enemy was a major annoyance.
