Chapter 329: Chapter 309: Blood Spills Across the Sky_1

After the strike, Fu Wangchen stepped out of the Sky Peng Battleship.

"Trying to flee?"

With the Divine Eye on his forehead, he locked onto the swiftly fleeing Pang Jian and said coldly, "Outside the Forbidden Land, numerous God Spirits of the Outer Realm are watching greedily. As the master of the Ming Prison Soul Bees, could it be that you still wish to hunt Gods?"

He stepped through the void, crossing millions of feet in a single step, closing in on Pang Jian as if teleporting.

The Pang Jian fleeing through the sky twisted his head only to see Qi Qingsong struck down into the swamp by a backhanded blow, which only intensified the frustration in his heart.

"Desolated Terrains, Fu Wangchen!"

Pang Jian took a deep breath, wanting to halt in the void and engage in a life-and-death struggle with the future ruler of the Desolated Terrains.

But the Sky Peng Battleship and the Ancient God Dharma summoned by Fu Wangchen made him realize that staying would leave him with no chance of victory.

Should he stay, he would certainly be heavily wounded and captured by Fu Wangchen once again!

And Fu Wangchen’s target was only him. Qi Qingsong, Dong Tianze, and the others were not implicated at all. Only if he escaped could Dong Tianze and the others avoid being involved.

With this thought, he fled even faster through the void.

"Divine Light Mirror!"

A shimmering silver mirror suddenly rose behind Fu Wangchen, its smooth surface, like the Divine Eye on his forehead, also capturing Pang Jian within.

The moment Pang Jian’s figure appeared on the mirror’s surface, his true body was immobilized in the void.

His perception and that of all the Bee Insects, including his psychic connection with the Bee King, were severed by the "Divine Light Mirror" in an instant.

Within the bright mirror, shadowy figures began to emerge quietly around the edges, resembling the mightiest who had fallen in the Desolated Terrains.

Their presence was ancient, mysterious, and profound, as if they were silently watching Pang Jian, now reflected in the mirror, from some bygone era.

The past and the present seemed to overlap at this moment.

"Pang Jian, you cannot escape," said Fu Wangchen as he turned and stepped into the mirror.

Within the mirrored realm, he appeared as a towering godly spirit of ancient times, millions of times larger than Pang Jian’s figure.

The titanic Fu Wangchen, with a cold smile, swung his fist in the mirror, aiming towards the image of Pang Jian captured by the "Divine Light Mirror."

The overwhelming divine might, accompanied by the gaze of the shadowy figures, suddenly enveloped Pang Jian within the mirror.

Realizing the situation was dire, the greatly shocked true Pang Jian hurriedly gathered his strength and consecutively summoned the Star-shattering Umbrella, Nine Suns Tripod, and Astonishing Spear.

"Whoosh!"

The Star-shattering Umbrella, now expanded dozens of times in size, dazzled with stars and moons, while from a well spewing cold mist, shattered ice and greenish spirit energy sprayed out.

Beneath the umbrella, nine miniature suns supported a flaming red tripod.

Below the tripod, Pang Jian rotated the Astonishing Spear, drawing out rings of the Silver Moon.

Further below, a blurry halo of Firm Cover enveloped his body.

This spectacle of multi-layered defense astonished many in the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land, who only now realized Pang Jian’s strength and witnessed his extraordinary abilities.

"So this guy has so many tricks up his sleeve!"

"At the Hollow Profound Realm, he is likely strong enough to battle someone in the Spirit Condensation Realm. It’s just a pity that his opponent is Fu Wangchen from the Desolated Terrains, and the Divine Light Mirror is nearly a Divine Artifact!"

"No wonder the Tower Master of the Sword Tower took him as a Direct Disciple."

"..."

Everyone was stunned by the Divine Skills displayed by the desperate Pang Jian.

But their astonishment lasted only for a moment.

Because inside the "Divine Light Mirror," Fu Wangchen, like a titanic spirit, unleashed a sky-shattering punch that descended upon Pang Jian within the mirror.

"Boom!"

As Pang Jian was attacked in the mirror, his body outside the mirror felt as though it was being struck, and the Star-shattering Umbrella, bestowed by Liang Ying, was the first to snap under the savage force tearing through the cosmos.

Endless moonlight and starlight splattered, like a collapsing galaxy, perishing in the vast sky.

Following the umbrella, the fiery suns orbiting the Nine Suns Tripod also dispersed like fading fireworks.

"Crack!"

The Nine Suns Tripod shattered into pieces, becoming as useless as the Black Iron Mountain.

"Another one!"

Fu Wangchen in the mirrored world continued to rain down punches.

Pang Jian in the outer depths of space couldn’t see his attacker, only feeling the tremendous force of the punches striking from all directions.

The rings of the Silver Moon began to explode one after another, and the Firm Covers refined with various Alien Powers and the Scale Armor shields were incessantly shattered by the force descending from the heavens.

Moments later, Pang Jian’s body was bleeding profusely, and countless bones were broken.

"Fu Wangchen! How dare you!"

Zhuang Yuyan stood up in rage.

The Bi-Spirit Sword shone brightly, creating a world engulfed in flames, with the Vermilion Bird and the Kylin crying and roaring, charging towards the "Divine Light Mirror."

"Foolish!"

Fu Wangchen in the mirrored world snorted coldly.

"Rumble!"

An imposing Ancient God Dharma emerged from the center of the Sky Peng Battleship, entering the small flame-filled world. With a lotus pedestal ablaze with karmic fire, it suppressed the Vermilion Bird and Kylin that represented Zhuang Yuyan’s Spirit Swords.

The Vermilion Bird cried tragically, and the Kylin howled in pain, as the small fiery world turned to nothingness in an instant.

"Sky Peng! Join me in hunting this evil spirit!"

Fu Wangchen issued another command, and the Sky Peng Battleship hovering in the forest’s half-sky immediately let out a screeching cry.

From the remains of the dead White Goldecn-Winged Roc, streaks of golden lightning appeared, and the potent forces hidden within the bones burst forth.

The ninth-rank Golden-Winged Roc, which had been dead for who knows how many years and had become a legend, seemed to gain brief life.

It soared through the void, drawing ever closer to Fu Wangchen, intending to pick up its master.

However, just as it passed another swamp...

The tranquil waters of the swamp’s center suddenly revealed a huge whirlpool resembling a gigantic pit. The ninth-rank Golden-Winged Roc, as if pulled by a great force while in the void, became immobile all of a sudden.

"Splash!"

In the depths of countless gloomy lakes and swamps, a colossal creature broke away from the vortex, fiercely charging towards the golden-winged roc bird in the sky.

It was shaped like a giant eel, covered with scales as clear as ice crystals, with a long slender neck, and a body stretching over five hundred yards!

Its two enormous, ice-ball-like beast eyes were filled with greed and ferocity, and its flat body, like a sword, thrust towards the golden-winged roc bird.

At the forefront of its dragon-like head, a sharp dragon horn gleamed coldly, suddenly dazzling with divine light!

"Crack!"

The sharp dragon horn, like a huge pillar holding up the sky and as thick as a hundred yards, pierced through the golden-winged roc bird with boundless murderous intent.

It then immediately lashed out with its claws and teeth, firmly gripping the wings of the Sky Peng Battleship, and shook it insanely.

The two land-like wings, with palaces and buildings sitting atop them, collapsed and shattered in an instant.

Cultivators from the Desolated Terrains, who had tamed the golden-winged roc bird refined with divine blood, howled in panic as they fled.

"Ice Armor Eel Dragon!"

"One, at least at the eighth level!"

Lu Jie, as well as the robust man beside her, turned pale with fear.

"Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

One after another, the roc birds were sliced by its shedding ice armor, turning into droplets of golden divine blood.

The creature in the lake opened its mouth, heartily gulping down every drop of the golden blood rain, and then dragged the Desolated Terrains’ Sky Peng Battleship deep into the depths of the lake.

"Ice Armor Eel Dragon!"

Fu Wangchen screamed in terror.

Without any hesitation, he stepped out from the "Divine Light Mirror" and no longer cared about attacking Pang Jian.

Hovering above with the "Divine Light Mirror," he adjusted its angle in haste, to shine its light on the Ice Armor Eel Dragon.

In the mirror’s reflected world, as the Ice Armor Eel Dragon’s massive body, dragging the colossal avian warship, slowly disappeared into the water, it was indeed momentarily immobilized.

In the eyes of the Ice Armor Eel Dragon, a trace of bewilderment emerged, slightly confused.

The next moment, it suddenly lunged downward with all its might.

The reflection of the creature in the "Divine Light Mirror" shattered as it broke free from the constraints of the near-divine artifact.

Fu Wangchen groaned, his eyes streaming with two streaks of blood, as he summoned over the majestic Ancient God Dharma to try and dive into the lake to pull back the Sky Peng Battleship.

"Fu, don’t go down!"

"That Ice Armor Eel Dragon, it’s at least at level eight; you can’t handle it!"

Lu Jie screamed in horror, standing on a piece of golden divine feather, pulling at her fellow sect brothers and sisters from all around.

At this moment, those who had escaped from the Sky Peng Battleship were fleeing from the lake into the air.

Without special artifacts enabling them to stay airborne, once they fell into the lake, they would vanish in the blink of an eye.

This lake, hiding an Ice Armor Eel Dragon, had suddenly become the most terrifying mouth of a bloodthirsty beast in the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land, seemingly capable of swallowing all who fell into it.

"I..."

Fu Wangchen hovered in the air, watching a fellow female disciple scream in desperation, like a drowning person, slowly sinking to the bottom of the lake.

The deep aquamarine lake water, stirred into murky turbulence by the presence of the Ice Armor Eel Dragon.

Fu Wangchen, with the third eye on his forehead, couldn’t see the conditions at the bottom of the lake.

He longed to dive down and explore, but he hesitated.

"Don’t go!"

Lu Jie screamed again, flying in on the golden divine feather and forcibly taking Fu Wangchen onto the feather.

"Ice Armor Eel Dragon..."

Pang Jian, who took the opportunity to flee the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land, also witnessed this spectacle through the vision of his Golden Bee Insect.

He couldn’t imagine that there would be a formidable creature of the eighth level lurking in that lake, which had suddenly attacked the Sky Peng Battleship and dragged it into the depths of the lake.

"Fu Wangchen has lost the golden-winged roc bird, but he still has the Ancient God Dharma and the Divine Light Mirror, and possesses the cultivation of the Spirit Condensation Realm."

Pang Jian, gravely injured and covered in blood.

His eyes, stained red with blood, were filled with a murderous, savage light as he coldly looked towards the dejected Fu Wangchen.

His body surged with dense Qi and Blood power, abundant Life Vitality flowing rapidly, aiding him in stabilizing his injuries.

"No, still no chance of winning."

After pondering for a moment, Pang Jian still shook his head and sighed.

The Demon Sect, Sky Water Swamp, Black Wood Cliff, the Xiao Family, they all treated Fu Wangchen as a leader, listening to his commands.

If he turned back, he would face not just Fu Wangchen.

Moreover, his current state was poor, the Star-shattering Umbrella and Nine Suns Tripod had been destroyed, and he had exhausted too much of his internal strength.

With this thought, Pang Jian suppressed the urge to turn back and instead set his sights on three other Fragment Lands.

"Cold Ice Land!"

"Teleport!"

Away from the Sky Peng Battleship, no longer targeted by the "Divine Light Mirror," he used the "Purgatory Gate" to reach another Bee Insect’s location.

He vanished in an instant from the skies outside the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land.

By the time Fu Wangchen reacted and intended to use the "Divine Light Mirror" to search for him again, he was nowhere to be found.

Above the forest.

"He can actually teleport."

Wu Yuan from the Demon Sect, seated on a floating Demon Stone, watched the direction in which Pang Jian disappeared.

While everyone’s attention was focused on the lake where the Ice Armor Eel Dragon had emerged, all watching Fu Wangchen, only he had kept an eye on Pang Jian.

And he alone saw Pang Jian teleport and vanish.
