Chapter 830: Chapter 54: Beware of Penglai [Two in One]

"Ba Tiansha, what are you doing?!"

Elder Tan, who was immersed in the grand emotions of ancestral glory and lifelong ideals, saw the Iron Eating Beast halted by a Spirit Plant and got so angry that his eyes nearly bulged out.

This was the resurrection of a god!

Must you take a look at that broken Spirit Plant?

Of course, we don’t have any right now.

But after you help the Jiuli God return, will you lack Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure? This is a day that could change the history of the Mortal Realm for tens of thousands of years, and you’re concerned about that one bite?

Upon hearing Elder Tan’s shout, the Iron Eating Beast turned back, giving him a wronged roar: "Ao..."

That look in its eyes seemed to say it was their friendship that stopped it.

Elder Tan grew even angrier.

Is it your drool or your friendship that you’re eager for?

However, he also realized that it was unrealistic to expect the Iron Eating Beast to attack Chu Liang. The Iron Eating Beast had decisively attacked Xu Ziyang and Jiang Yuebai, but with Chu Liang, despite the equally brief acquaintance, it was a "friendship" nourished by Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

Consequently, Elder Tan immediately changed his command: "Cut off the Underworld River!"

In the time lost, Chu Liang had gathered more of the Breath of Hades from the Underworld River. Since he couldn’t recover it for the time being, he had to stop the loss of the Underworld River first.

The Iron Eating Beast showed no resistance to this command, roaring up to the sky and leaping to swing its giant palm.

Boom—

The Underworld River, which had been slowly flowing into the Bi Bozhan, was cut off by its palm. Elder Tan controlled the Formation, causing the Underworld River to surge with huge waves. Some of them blocked Jiang Yuebai’s Sword Qi while others continued to rush into the cracks.

The Underworld River Spring Eye was a path reserved by the Jiuli God for himself. The power of the Formation was unquestionable, so Chu Liang and Jiang Yuebai appeared to be hard-pressed to stop it for the time being.

At that moment, another piercing Sword Qi descended from the sky!

Szzt—

That sword, like a dragon, instantaneously carved an arc across the sky, striking right behind Elder Tan. Elder Tan cried out in pain and immediately used the Underworld River to whirl backwards, enveloping himself in its waters.

The figure within that Sword Qi turned out to be Xu Ziyang!

After hearing the story from the Artifact Spirit of Bronze City, he picked up the Tribulation Crossing Divine Copper and immediately rushed over. At this crucial juncture, he made a fierce and critical move.

As for him, the Iron Eating Beast didn’t show any leniency.

Hearing Elder Tan’s scream, Ba Tiansha roared furiously, its form swooshing towards Xu Ziyang with a daunting presence, leaving a blur as its massive body swept past.

Xu Ziyang, who had already suffered a heavy blow once, did not risk a head-on collision and immediately retreated, controlling his sword to quickly withdraw, dodging the Iron Eating Beast’s pounce.

The Iron Eating Beast was only one, but Shu Mountain had three people.

This time, it was Jiang Yuebai who made a move. The Immortal Law of Wu Lei’s Heavenly Heart descended, instantly shattering Elder Tan’s defenses with raging Sword Qi. The badly wounded Elder Tan sat by the Fountain Source of the Underworld River, almost powerless to resist with the Formation anymore.

The Iron Eating Beast roared again, turning to chase Jiang Yuebai, but with Jiang deploying his Shrinkage technique, he disappeared into the stone wall in an instant, leaving no trace.

Then it was Chu Liang’s turn, delivering a one swing Void Slash arrived in an instant!

"Ahh—" Elder Tan cried out with a heavenward howl.

The strategy of Shu Mountain was effective. Solely considering cultivation, he was definitely above any of them, and teamed with the berserk Iron Eating Beast, he shouldn’t have had trouble dealing with the three youths.

But because he was gravely injured and had been consecutively wounded by Xu Ziyang’s Sword Qi, he was now close to death’s door, unable to unleash any combat power. Instead, he became a burden for the Iron Eating Beast.

The three from Shu Mountain were perfectly in sync, not needing a single word of communication. They took turns distracting the Iron Eating Beast, attacking Elder Tan—one-on-one tactics that were indeed very slick.

As Chu Liang’s Void Slashing Sword Qi neared, a spark of determination flashed in Elder Tan’s eyes. He flipped through the air with one leap, and while mid-air, he forcefully struck his own chest.

Boom—

He actually severed his heart vein mid-air!

Plop.

Elder Tan’s body fell into the Underworld River, and the surging Breath of Hades briefly stilled. The three people and one beast on the scene paused for a moment, surprised by his sudden self-inflicted death blow.

Chu Liang was the first to realize his intent and immediately shouted, "Be careful!"

Before the words fell, the Underworld River erupted with turbulence, and a fierce figure suddenly leapt out, heading straight for Jiang Yuebai!

The figure was none other than Elder Tan, now full of Sha, and this time he appeared with a cold face and lifeless eyes, clutching a Jiuli weaponly that resembled a short halberd, his Seventh Realm cultivation erupting to the fullest!

The reason he had taken his own life was because an injured body was nothing but a burden and would never fulfill the great cause of resurrecting the Jiuli God. The decision he made was to end his life on the spot, allowing his corpse to fall into the Underworld River formed by the Breath of Hades, which would instantly resurrect him.

The resurrected him was akin to being rebooted, no longer troubled by injuries.

Of course, the price was immense, as once the Breath of Hades that clung to him was exhausted, he would immediately perish. Unless all the Breath of Hades here was used on him, he could live for countless years. But all of it was prepared for the Jiuli God, which meant what he had to prolong his life was already very limited.

His death was only slightly delayed. And the price he paid for this was to immediately return to his peak condition.

It was utterly insane.

...

Elder Tan, in his peak condition and as a seasoned Seventh Realm practitioner with Jiuli secret arts and weaponry, was formidable. Jiang Yuebai did not dare to confront him directly, his figure flickered, and he utilized Shrinkage to create a dozen zhang of distance, once again merging into the mountain wall.
