Night without Borders

Chapter 467 Five Hundred Years Later
Deep within the Black and White Mountains, both sides were shocked!
Nian Songhe was incredulous. He first looked at the severed hand on the ground, then at the round, black and white bear. The bear had actually injured him with a single sword strike.

Black and white bear was also secretly alarmed. Four earth immortals had come all at once today. Could it be that Old Liu's "misdeeds" had been exposed, and it would also suffer the consequences?

If the opponent dares to attack the corrupt gods, it certainly won't be able to withstand it.

Under the soft night sky, the gurgling hot spring, like molten gold, meanders across the undulating mountains, dyeing the bamboo forest in warm hues, and bathing all the bamboo in a layer of radiance.

However, everything has changed now; the peace and tranquility have been completely shattered.

How terrifying are the Earth Immortals! They are the highest-level beings of this era. Their blood is dazzling, reflecting the color of all the grass and trees, covering the entire mountain.

From a distance, it looks as if a blood-red sun is rising from the depths of the Black and White Mountains.

“There are no registered ‘wild immortals’,” Qi Yunding said in a deep voice. From his words, one could tell how arrogant those “old mountain strongholds” in the sky had been in the past.

The black and white bear felt a little relieved. Wasn't this coming for Old Liu? Then, it widened its eyes. Who was it insulting? They were both creatures of the seventh realm, so why did it have to be called "wild"?

Moreover, after five hundred years, it has suffered countless hardships, constantly undergoing blood transfusions and desperately trying to transform itself, reversing its life form. It is no longer a pure earth immortal or earth god.

"Just four little spirits, who gave you the guts to disturb... Lord Bear's peace and quiet!" It almost slipped out the words "Lord Dog".

The four old monsters frowned upon hearing this title, feeling a sense of unease. Not long ago, they had referred to the Nine-Headed Bird Clan's deity as the Hairy God, and now a fat bear was calling them by a similar title and tone.

Before either side could even speak, they had already made their move. Nian Songhe's body glowed, and dazzling runes shone on his severed arm, as if he wanted to guide the severed hand back.

"Hey!"

A flash of emerald green sword light streaked across the ground. The black and white bear moved with lightning speed, piercing the severed hand with its bamboo sword and snatching it away.

Nian Songhe took a deep breath and said, "Panda, Iron-Eating Beast, you have achieved such a feat on the ground. It is truly remarkable. Would you like to ascend to heaven and manage a secluded courtyard in Yujing, where there are many spiritual bamboos?"

Qi Yunding also spoke up: "All land under heaven belongs to the king. The Eastern Land, Yezhou and other places are all within the radiation range of Yujing. If you are a righteous immortal in heaven, it is far better than being a wild immortal on the ground."

The black and white bear scanned them, as if finding it troublesome. The wounded man opposite them even lowered himself and actively tried to engage it. Meanwhile, the other man brought up the Jade Capital, subtly implying a threat.

It didn't immediately turn hostile, shaking its head and saying, "No, I'm used to being carefree."

"Fellow Daoist, we are extending this invitation out of goodwill." Xiao Qingheng smiled faintly, his black hair fluttering in the night breeze, giving him a serene and otherworldly air.

Mu Cangwu said, "You must know that the environment of heaven and earth has changed. Staying on the ground will eventually lead to a loss of freedom, and there may be great disaster in the future."

Every time they speak, one plays the good cop and the other the bad cop.

"I am a bear, not a cat to be kept in captivity. Do you really think I have weak teeth and claws? My sword is not without its weaknesses." The black and white bear bared its teeth and grinned.

It has now determined that these people did not come for "the corrupt god Liu," and the situation is far less serious than it had imagined.

“Fellow Daoist, are you rejecting our good intentions and choosing to become an enemy of Yujing?” Nian Songhe asked in a deep voice.

Black and white bear scanned them and said, "Jade Capital has been bombed and is still in the process of being reborn. I seriously doubt whether you Earth Immortals are qualified to take over Jade Capital."

Mu Cangwu said, "Fellow Daoist, please reconsider. The will of the Jade Capital cannot be defied!"

If anyone else were here, they would be extremely shocked. In the outside world, wherever the Four Earth Immortals went, all the major powers bowed their heads.

The four old monsters were incredibly tough and unyielding, never saying a word. They even wiped out members of the Jedi Alliance without hesitation.

But now, they are actually trying to persuade them multiple times for the sake of a black and white bear.

It was all because of the strength of their opponents, which left the four old monsters somewhat unsure of their own capabilities.

However, the black and white bear was not grateful and felt that it was being threatened again and again, which was really too much of a bully!

"You four dare to claim to represent the will of Jade Capital?" It raised its green bamboo sword, and divine flames immediately erupted, burning the palm.

It licked its lips and said, "After eating coarse food for five hundred years, I've suffered for so long. It's time to improve my diet."

It is indeed a bear, and it's not a vegetarian.

The four old monsters' faces darkened. They felt they had been "kind" enough and had lowered themselves, but the other party remained arrogant and didn't care at all.

They all carried Dao chains and were not afraid of people on the ground. They just didn't want to overuse such powerful weapons and wanted to "invite" their opponents to the sky first, since that was their home ground.

In an instant, the four Earth Immortals revealed murderous intent.

"Well, so your true nature is showing, isn't it?" The black and white bear was not intimidated at all; on the contrary, its eyes gleamed with excitement.

In an instant, it donned a wooden "armor," wore a straw hat, and a raincoat. Moreover, its body became thinner, and it even looked somewhat "dog-like."

The main point is that it has adapted to this form over the past five hundred years, and it can now be called a dog sword immortal.

"Do you know how I've survived these past five hundred years?" The black and white bear gritted its teeth, exuding an overwhelming ferocity.

In an instant, a fierce wind swept across the entire Black and White Mountain, and even the dark clouds in the sky began to tremble violently.

The dog sword immortal was surrounded by murderous aura, which had already materialized.

"Five hundred years! I have endured for five hundred years!" It roared to the sky, like a peerless demon being born, its murderous aura surging and shattering the thick clouds in the sky.

Over the years, it has been punched and kicked by Liu Mo, and "educated" for hundreds of years, yet it still wags its tail and smiles like a silly dog.

It's only because Liu Mo can suppress it; anyone else who dared to glare at it would have been torn to shreds long ago.

The people of Shuangshu Village all saw the big yellow dog's good temper, obedience, and loyalty to its master. But who knew that it was once a fearsome beast god whose name resounded throughout the world?
The black and white bear pulled the bamboo sword from the severed hand. It was stained with the blood of the earth immortal and its killing intent soared to the sky. Its fur stood on end, its eyes were filled with excitement, and its entire bear body was trembling with excitement.

"He's finally gone, it's my turn to be born, ha ha ha..." As it laughed, the towering mountains shook, boulders rolled down, and countless birds and beasts in the mountains trembled. Whether they flew in the sky or ran on the ground, they all lay prostrate on the ground, bowing in worship in this direction.

The four Earth Immortals were astonished. The black and white bear's aura had completely changed, becoming ridiculously powerful. Gone was its round and cuddly cuteness; now it was filled with ferocious rage.

They acted immediately, each launching a fierce attack forward.

The Dog Sword Immortal was even faster than them. The sword light unleashed by the Green Bamboo Sword was terrifying, with the power to shake the heavens and the earth, and the sword intent tore through the dark sky.

The sudden surge of sword light caused the dark clouds to explode instantly.

puff!
Nian Songhe was struck by the sword on the spot. This time, he did not dodge it. His ears were burning, his white hair fell out, blood flowed, and his left ear exploded.

He lost an ear from just a graze of the sword light, and to make matters worse, his arm, from which his hand had been severed, was also struck by the sword and snapped off at the shoulder with a soft thud.

The straw hat on the black and white bear's head and the raincoat on its body were emitting sword light, not to mention the green bamboo sword in its hand.

It single-handedly confronted the four Earth Immortals with its sword, and withstood them all head-on. The heaven-piercing sword light swept across, making the four of them feel deeply troubled, and they felt that this black and white bear was too crazy.

Under the onslaught of the four, a flower of blood appeared on the black and white bear's body, but it ignored it and focused its attack on Nian Songhe alone.

With a soft thud, Nian Songhe's body was pierced through. A thick sword beam tore open his waist, and glowing immortal blood splattered everywhere. He was almost cut in half at the waist.

For a fleeting moment, the four Earth Immortals even wondered if this was a Mind Monkey that had been tempered for five hundred years? Now, having escaped its confinement, it had completely unleashed its most violent nature.

"Five hundred years! I ate chaff and wild vegetables, dared not show my fangs, dared not eat meat or bamboo shoots, for fear that he would misunderstand!" Black and white bear was shrouded in black mist, and it finally made it through.

Without a doubt, after the arrival of the four Earth Immortals, they became the targets of its resentment. Did it really think it was a gentle and obedient yellow dog? That kind of obedience was only for Liu Mo.

Even so, it was almost killed by Liu Mo at the last moment. No one knows a dog better than its master. Old Liu knew its background and was worried that it would cause trouble after he left.

Because this dog has a very bad "record".

However, in the final period, Dog Sword Immortal wept bitterly and swore to the heavens that he had finally escaped Old Liu's clutches.

In fact, Liu Mo did consider killing Gouzi, and even mentioned to Qin Ming that he would treat him to an indescribably delicious divine meat feast before leaving.

Only at the very last moment did Lao Liu soften his stance.

With Liu Mo gone, the dog was no longer Big Yellow; when facing others, it became Huang Shangxian.

Clearly, it has regained the toughness and confidence it had when it was a beast god! The black and white bear and the four earth immortals have already soared into the sky. The mountains on the ground can no longer contain them, and they cannot act freely. Dozens of mountains there have either broken or exploded.

"The Four Symbols Demon-Subduing Formation!" The four old monsters secretly exchanged ideas, wanting to quickly suppress this fiend.

"How exhilarating! Hahaha..." Black and white bear laughed, raised his sword, and endless divine fire spread, burning the entire sky red, and the dark clouds completely dissipated.

This is one of its sword techniques—"Raising Fire to Burn the Sky," using the divine fire of swordsmanship to incinerate the heavens.

Once again, Nian Songhe was caught off guard. He was furious. This crazed black and white bear was determined to kill him alone, so he used his sword domain to block his retreat.

"Ah..." Even as an Earth Immortal, Nian Songhe let out a sound of extreme pain after being covered by the Divine Fire of the Sword Dao, as he could hardly bear it.

His immortal body was slashed by the sword energy, blood gushing out, and then burned by the heavenly fire, leaving parts of his flesh charred black. The indelible sword intent entangled him relentlessly.

A moment later, Nian Songhe was filled with shock and anger, and felt a chill in his heart. This opponent had launched attacks again and again, targeting only him and almost driving him to the brink of despair.

With a loud boom, his form changed. White immortal mist surged, and he twisted and wriggled, no longer human, revealing his terrifying true form.

Earthly Immortals have altered their original life forms. Once they embark on this path, few can maintain their original appearance; they all become ferocious, terrifying, and unpredictable.

Now he has scales, feathers, and slime on his body, looking like a monster pieced together from more than a dozen creatures, and has lost all his otherworldly and dignified air.

"Are all monsters like you immortals in the heavens? The Jade Capital... I can't even imagine!" For once, the black and white bear's madness subsided slightly.

For five hundred years, like Liu Mo, it has been working hard to change its bloodline, desperately trying to be reborn, reshaping its "old body", and returning to its original form. It is indeed qualified to say such a thing.

The black and white bear was covered in blood; how could it possibly have an easy time facing four Earth Immortals alone? It was already injured itself.

"Slash!" it shouted again. In an instant, swathes of sword light surged forth, transforming into one sword mountain after another, filling the night sky and crashing towards the four Earth Immortals.

This was a spectacular sight: above the clouds, sword light condensed into a continuous mountain range, exuding a majestic aura, while simultaneously slaying four old monsters.

During the confrontation, Nian Songhe exhaled a breath of turbid air. At least his opponent was no longer targeting him alone; otherwise, he would have really been unable to resist using the Dao Chain.

However, if the four Earth Immortals join forces and still cannot defeat this sword immortal, they will ultimately have to resort to powerful weapons to fight him. If this is reported back to Heaven, they will likely be held accountable.

After all, the reserves of crude Dao Chains used to deal with seventh-realm experts are not as many as imagined, and cannot be squandered recklessly.

"puff!"

Suddenly, the only female Earth Immortal, Xiao Qingheng, was struck by a sword repeatedly. Cracks appeared all over her body, and sword energy emanated from her. In an instant, she was disheveled and looked extremely miserable.

Monokuma suddenly changed its main target and achieved remarkable results.

"Get out of the way! That's a killing technique from the 'Black and White Scripture,' and it's actually been turned into the Black and White Yin-Yang Sword!" Mu Cangwu shouted.

The black and white bear's fur is only black and white, and even the sword light it has mastered is the same color. The killing power of the Yin-Yang Sword is astonishing.

In an instant, black and white sword light completely covered Xiao Qingheng.

"Ah..." she let out a shrill scream.

The black and white sword energies were inexhaustible, constantly severing and trying to cut her apart.

Of course, the hot-tempered sword immortal, who was acting like a madman, was also bleeding and was being attacked by the other three old monsters.

With a hum, the void trembled, and a thick chain of order appeared. Xiao Qingheng had used his ultimate weapon—the Dao Chain.

The black and white bear was terrified. In an instant, it stepped on black and white clouds, protected by the light of the Yin-Yang Sword, and retreated at top speed.

However, the thick chains of Dao spread through the void, as if they had identified it and were determined to completely lock down its true form.

"Is this the dog leash that Lao Liu was talking about?" It was deeply horrified. Although it had never experienced it firsthand, just hearing Liu Mo's words about it had already given it a psychological trauma.

At the crucial moment, it presented a picture, which consisted only of black and white.

Back then, when it faced off against the enemy who came to Shuangshu Village to test Liu Mo's condition, it appeared as a canine swordsman. Old Liu had instructed it that this picture could be used at a critical moment.

However, it wasn't used at the time.

Now, as black and white light flashed, the thick chain of magic was swallowed up by the black and white image, becoming a blurry chain shadow in the image.

"Old Liu, you're really something. Even after you're gone, I still live in your shadow!" Black and White Bear exclaimed.

The four Earth Immortals' expressions changed drastically. The fact that someone on the ground could actually block this Dao chain from the Jade Capital made them extremely uneasy.

Xiao Qingheng was enveloped in sword energy. With a soft "poof," her body snapped in two. She had just been cleaved in two by the Black and White Yin-Yang Sword Light. Her forehead bone was also shattered, and her pure Yang consciousness dimmed.

Without a doubt, if she hadn't quickly unleashed her Dao Chains, she would have been in grave danger just now. Even though an Earth Immortal is hard to kill, she would have suffered severe injuries, and much of her spiritual light would have been extinguished.

She pieced together her body, but could no longer maintain her human form, revealing her true form as an earth immortal. Her body suddenly swelled up, becoming as large as a small mountain, and was unusually thick and bumpy. Where was the ethereal aura that a transcendent fairy should have? Now she was hideous.

Xiao Qingheng was furious, but she didn't want to show this side of herself, and her killing intent surged.

"Retreat!" However, his companion transmitted this message, wary of the black and white diagram, worried that the Dao chains they carried would be ineffective and wasted in vain.

At the same time, the black and white bear noticed that the divine image had dimmed slightly, and it was also unsure of what to do, because the other three opponents also had eerie chains floating in front of them.

As if by unspoken agreement, both sides retreated together, disappearing into the dark clouds.

"Huh? It actually ran away. Did it not have the confidence to withstand the Dao Chain?" The four Earth Immortals were stunned and suddenly stopped.

"Are they afraid of me because they don't know what's going on with me?" Monokuma also stopped in the distance.

Then, it glanced down at the clouds and saw that it was still near Black and White Mountain, not far from Shuangshu Village.

“If I back down, and they start searching the area and attack indiscriminately, it could affect that village, which would be disastrous. Old Liu’s wife—the sorceress—and the spirit child are both there; I can’t back down!”

In the era before Liu Mo, the Dog Sword Immortal became somewhat arrogant, always referring to Liu Tianshen as Old Liu. However, his true intentions remained unchanged, and he was still thinking about protecting the sorceress and the divine child at crucial moments.

……

High above, apart from the outgoing and friendly red dragon, the others remained silent, exchanging glances as if they were seeing their own reflections in a mirror.

Because both sides were well aware that neither of them had any good plans for quietly coming up into the sky at this moment.

The sage of our time was a rather dignified old man, sitting on the back of a dragon. He said, "You young people are not old, so why are you so suspicious? When you see me, you are all wary and treat me like a stranger. After all, I am your senior. Why do you have to be like this?"

"A crow standing on charcoal is black, so no one can say who's black. Besides, I'm not that much younger than you, so don't try to act old here," Leng Mingkong said.

On the side of Patriarch Yezhou, the Buddha of this world silently bowed to the opposite side.

Suddenly, light and mist surged, and a void tunnel appeared. A patriarch stepped out and said, "A battle has broken out on the ground. Someone is dealing with the Four Earth Immortals!"

The patriarchs in the Sea of ​​Night Mist were all startled.

"That cultist guy made his move?" Helian Chengyun asked.

"It's not that powerful figure from my secret sect, it's a black and white bear."

"Let's go back, let's put the heavenly realm aside for now!" A group of patriarchs prepared to return to the earth.

"Let's go together!" said the sage riding on the dragon's back, and quickly followed.

The old barbarian god's eyes gleamed with ferocity. He possessed the body of a giant spirit god and exuded a powerful aura; he too was to accompany the old barbarian god.

……

Meanwhile, in the Night Ruins, Xie Jinglan and Qi Daozhen were both stunned, not because they were surprised to have reunited with Taiyi so quickly, but because they were afraid and terrified. The young Taiyi was too audacious, actually wanting their help to betray his master and destroy his ancestors.
