Chapter 857: Chapter 67 Little Baby [Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch “Yi Dao Jiang Hu Duan”]

"Penglai launched a surprise attack on Shu Mountain?"

In this era of the immortal friends’ circle, the spread of information had become countless times faster than before. Not long after the great battle of Shu Mountain in the Southern Region began, Chu Yi on the Sacred Mountain of the Northern Region had already received the news.

"That’s correct," Li Jiantong said. "Penglai has repaired the Universe Ring, and with the combined force of the Universe’s Time Wheel, they are besieging Shu Mountain. The situation is currently at a stalemate, but it’s not looking good."

"The Universe Ring..." Chu Yi raised his eyes toward the direction of Shu Mountain.

Back then, the Universe’s Time Wheel were probably on the verge of entering the top ten in the Ten Thousand Treasures Record. However, when combined, they could be comparable to the top three. Later, when they split and the Universe Ring was damaged, the Time Wheel was refined and elevated by the great powers of Saint Yang, reaching a level where it alone could be ranked fourth in the Ten Thousand Treasures Record.

Now, with the Eastern Sea Time Wheel merging with the Universe Ring again, it was without a doubt the number one Divine Artifact of the current generation.

With Penglai already being the First Immortal Sect of the present age, and now reinforced by the number one Divine Artifact, there seemed to be an unstoppable momentum. However, for some reason, he always felt that Shu Mountain would not fall so easily.

"The cause is Chu Liang from Shu Mountain who secretly raised a Heaven Devouring Beast and provided a physical body that could bear the Demon God Origin, potentially resurrecting the Demon God," Li Jiantong added. "With this reason, the other sects of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect should not dare to interfere, unless Shu Mountain truly hands over Chu Liang."

"Impossible," Chu Yi stated emphatically. "Only the Senior Brother can save Shu Mountain."

The significance of Chu Liang to the Shu Mountain Sect goes without saying, and it’s not a matter of whether the Shu Mountain Sect is willing to surrender Chu Liang.

Based on his understanding of the Senior Brother, if Shu Mountain were to resolutely protect Chu Liang, he might still find a way to rescue the sect; however, if Shu Mountain gave up on Chu Liang, he would not likely place his own safety in such a sect.

And if the matter could have been resolved before a full-scale war broke out, that would have been better, but since it had escalated to this point, both sides had incurred deadly enmities. Even if the Shu Mountain Sect were to compromise, Penglai would not easily back down.

If anyone could save Shu Mountain, it would probably be Chu Liang himself.

At this moment, Chu Yi’s estimation of his Senior Brother was almost omniscient and omnipotent.

"Young Master..." Seeing Chu Yi deep in thought, Li Jiantong hesitated but still spoke up, "Chu Liang is not an Immortal, and with the current situation, Shu Mountain is doomed."

The five Tianyuan cultivators and the combined force of two Divine Artifacts of Penglai would be a daunting challenge even for several sects of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect let alone the Shu Mountain Sect, which had already lost its Divine Artifacts. Even though the sect had been rejuvenated under Chu Liang’s efforts over the years, this had not yet influenced the top-level combat strength, which would take some time. Perhaps in a few decades, the number of Eighth Realm cultivators in Shu Mountain could bridge the gap of Divine Artifacts, but definitely not now.

The threat felt by Penglai might also be one of the reasons for its aggressive action.

"He naturally isn’t an Immortal, but every time he has managed to turn peril into safety," Chu Yi said with fiery eyes. "I bet this time Shu Mountain Sect won’t lose, at least not so easily."

"What do you want to do?" Li Jiantong’s pupils widened a bit.

The somewhat crazed look in Chu Yi’s eyes made even this lawless rogue somewhat afraid. To think of the audacious acts directed by Chu Yi in the past, they were all carried out in perfect calm.

"Do you dare to join me on a big score?" Chu Yi’s face unconsciously lit up with a slight smile. "After this one, the brothers of Mang Mountain City will not have to worry about food and drink for a hundred years."

"The Venerable won’t help you," Li Jiantong remarked as if guessing what the other was planning, but, bold as he was, he dared not think further.

"He doesn’t need to lift a finger," Chu Yi replied with a laugh, waving his hand lightly. "I have my own ways."

Li Jiantong looked at Chu Yi’s excited face, his heart constricting; only then did he suddenly realize.

The true rogue was the child before him.

...

"Illusory treasure Spiritual Fetus?"

Master Wen Yuan held the Seven-Color Stoneware gifted by Empress Feng, feeling the endless spiritual charm flowing within, and realized the use of this Magic Artifact.

It could replicate all Magic Artifacts in the world...

He lifted his head, his gaze settling on the Universe Ring that was constantly tightening around them.

The Exotic Beast Baize had finally broken through Daoist Cang Sheng’s Wu Ya domain, but at this moment, Daoist Cang Sheng had already invoked the Time Wheel, which, coupled with the Eastern Sea Time Wheel, made the speed at which the Universe Ring contracted chilling.

With a stroke of divine light, Baize was about to find a way to rescue Shu Mountain, but with a single push of Daoist Cang Sheng’s arm, Baize’s figure immediately froze in place. The fusion of temporal and spatial Daos could forever imprison someone in that Land of Nothingness. Even though it was only a matter of time before Baize could escape, Daoist Cang Sheng needed only to detain her for a while to completely annihilate Shu Mountain!

"Cang Sheng!" From outside the secret realm, the Regent Leader had already started bombarding the barricades with Cosmic Sword Dao, but the barrier created by the Universe Ring was not so easily broken, and several powerful characters could only shout warnings, "All can be negotiated anew, the disciples of Shu Mountain are innocent, do not persist in your folly!"

Daoist Cang Sheng’s expression was cold, "If Chu Liang cannot be killed today, I will annihilate Shu Mountain, there is no room for negotiation."

Boom—

The Universe Ring crazily contracted, causing the collapse of more than a dozen surrounding peaks, while countless sword auras and spirit birds, along with exotic beasts, chaotically fled through the air, converging toward the center.

It seemed as if everything was beyond redemption.

But at that moment, a rainbow light suddenly struck the Universe Ring, then spun back into the hands of Master Wen Yuan.

Master Wen Yuan lifted his hand, and the rainbow light transformed into a white brilliance that fell into his palm, now indistinguishable from the light emitted by the Universe Ring conjured by Daoist Cang Sheng.

From a distance, Cang Sheng’s eyebrows furrowed.

The next instant, Wen Yuan spread his arms wide, "So this is what the Universe Ring is..."

This was the power of a Divine Artifact.

Even among the top ten peripheral levels in the Ten Thousand Treasures Record, this was not something that Wen Yuan had touched before. He had indeed crossed fists with the Underworld King Sect Master wielding Ksitigarbha’s True Body, and at that time, he felt an immense pressure.

To wield a Divine Artifact was to feel such might. In his whole life, Wen Yuan had never fought a battle so well-resourced, and furthermore, the Universe Ring was in perfect harmony with his Hongmeng Avenue. At that moment, he felt his courage surge.

Boom—

The intensely contracting Universe Ring came to a thunderous halt because, within the inner circle, another white light rapidly expanded outwards. Without the obstruction of Shu Mountain’s great formation, the inner Universe Ring quickly collided with the outer one.

Boom boom boom—

The sound of thunder, like ten thousand bolts, echoed around, and Shu Mountain disciples of lower cultivation almost fainted from the severe spiritual energy shockwaves.

Just a breath before, a shadow had just fallen onto Silver Sword Peak.

Boom—

Jing Yuanzi, with half his body engulfed in flames, fell into a bamboo grove. He cried out in pain twice and had to sever his own right arm to prevent the Samadhi Divine Fire from climbing further. Then he quickly regrew a new limb, bare on one side, and gritted his teeth, "What kind of hero fights two against one?"

He was confident that he could hold his own against Daoist Yan in a brief one-on-one, but with Empress Feng added to the mix, the situation became difficult. If he faced Empress Feng alone, she wouldn’t be able to touch even his clothes, but unfortunately, she wouldn’t leave Daoist Yan’s sword qi range. After punching him and sending him flying, she wouldn’t pursue him by herself; she waited for Yan Zi to catch up, giving no chance for the enemy to exploit.

When it came to brawling, Empress Feng was indeed cunning.

Frustrated, Jing Yuanzi could only mutter, "Unfair to have so many fight so few!"

Having just dealt with the Samadhi Divine Fire on his body, and desperately wanting a moment to breathe, he saw a slow-moving cute creature watching him from the side.

It was an Iron Eating Beast that resembled a small lump of flesh, black and white in color, with beady black eyes, which instantly gave one a sense of peace.

Unfortunately, Jing Yuanzi was not in good shape. He raised his foot with the intention to kick the small creature away while shouting, "Get lost!"

What good creature could be on Silver Sword Peak?

This harmless little thing, he didn’t even use his authority as an Immortal, just a normal kick. Of course, the strength of an Eighth Realm cultivator was enough to kick it thousands of feet away with ease.

But as he kicked, the earth-shattering noise reached his ears. The Iron Eating Beast’s pupils shook, seemingly frightened, undergoing a certain transformation.

Boom.

As Jing Yuanzi was distracted by the tremendous noise of the two colliding Universe Rings, and looked outside, wondering when Shu Mountain had also developed a Universe Ring, he suddenly felt a tightening around his foot,

When he looked back again, the small creature was gone, replaced by a massive and ferocious terror beast, which had his foot clutched in its claws.

"Eh?" Jing Yuanzi immediately struggled, but to his surprise, he couldn’t break free. What use is speed if someone has you by the foot?

Next, he saw the furious Iron Eating Beast grab one of his legs and start slamming him left and then right, then left again...

Boom boom boom boom boom—

Empress Feng and Daoist Yan, who had just landed, faced this tragic scene, and both showed expressions of being unable to bear watching.

Empress Feng couldn’t help but click her tongue, "This creature’s alive, isn’t it? Just look at what it’s done to our little darling."
