Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 420 Nascent Soul Peeping, Ending "8k, Requesting Monthly Tickets!"

With a single movement, its massive body tore through the air, carrying a terrifying sword intent that made the space itself tremble, as it charged fiercely toward the three-headed demon beast!

Wherever it passed, space trembled violently, as if tiny spatial cracks were about to appear.

The three peak-level demonic beasts no longer showed the slightest contempt; their eyes revealed extreme solemnity and horror.

They sensed a deadly threat from that Stegosaurus!

The Nine Nether Sparrow took the lead, raising its head and letting out a long cry. Its wings suddenly spread open, and its jet-black feathers stood on end.

A dark power originating from the depths of one's bloodline suddenly erupted!

It opened its mouth and spewed out a jet of black air that was neither fire nor storm!

This wind is silent and stealthy, yet it can cut through bones and corrode gold.

The Nine Netherworld Black Wind is an innate divine ability of the Nine Netherworld Bird Clan!

The Suanni roared in anger, and the lightning patterns on its dark gold scales suddenly lit up and crackled.

It suddenly stood up on its back and slammed its two front paws into the air!
"Boom—!"

A beam of lightning, as thick as a water vat and gleaming with golden light, shot out from between its claws!
This is also the innate lightning magic of the Suanni clan.

Its destructive power is even greater than that of a perfect divine power.

The Twin-Headed Black Flame Sparrow also possesses the bloodline of the Nine Nether Sparrow, but its bloodline is impure, thus it lacks the Nine Nether Sparrow's innate divine abilities.

However, its bloodline mutated with that of the Black Flame Sparrow, giving birth to a talent called Black Flame that is far more domineering than the flames of the Black Flame Sparrow clan.

Its two heads emitted a sharp shriek at the same time.

A jet-black pillar of flame, radiating intense heat and corrosive energy, coalesced in front of him.

Its power is no less than that of the Nine Nether Bird and the Suanni's innate supernatural abilities.

The three terrifying innate divine abilities collided violently with the roaring Azure Dragon of Swords in mid-air!

"boom!"

An indescribable roar, as if the sky itself had been torn apart!

An extremely violent energy storm instantly swept across an area of ​​several miles!
The cyan-gold sword light, the dark black wind, the dazzling golden lightning, and the black flames were all entangled, clashed, and annihilated in a frenzy!
The blinding light was too intense to look at directly.

The devastating shockwave leveled the ground three feet below, turning countless rocks into dust!
Both the demonic cultivators from the Blackwater Domain and True Monarch Qingxuan were horrified.

Sirius True Monarch gritted his teeth and cursed, "Damn it, this guy is indeed stronger."

"If we don't find a way to deal with it, the Greedy Wolf Mansion will probably be devoured by it sooner or later."

Upon seeing this, True Lord Sirius knew that Xu Chuan would surely be the victor.

Therefore, without much hesitation, he turned and transformed into a streak of black light and departed.

Lord Lieyang and the others didn't bother with it.

"How can this magic weapon be so powerful!" Daoist Yuansong frowned deeply.

"If the Golden Core Battle Stage of the next Gathering of Prodigies opens, he will probably be the number one Golden Core Prodigy without a doubt."

"This person has immense potential and may very well become the next Ancestor Xuan Yue. If there is no need for it, it would be best for our Qingxu Sect to be on good terms with him."

The demonic cultivators in the Blackwater Domain were also filled with turbulent emotions.

Xu Chuan actually had the ability to fight against the five of them.

Even in a life-or-death struggle, they are the ones who will inevitably die.

The first exchange lasted for about three breaths.

Immediately afterwards, all twenty-eight points of starlight around the sword-dragon shone brightly, and the sword energy surged again!
"Sizzle—!"

The Nine Nether Black Wind was forcibly torn apart and pierced by the incomparably sharp sword energy!
The dark gold lightning clashed head-on with the sword dragon's claw, unleashing a sky full of golden lightning snakes, but it failed to completely destroy the dragon's claw. Instead, it was overwhelmed by the subsequent torrent of sword energy!
The domineering black flames also failed to achieve their goal, being torn apart into countless small flames by the sword energy.

The three demonic beasts groaned in unison, their bodies trembling violently as they involuntarily slid back dozens of feet, their eyes filled with even greater horror.

Despite their combined efforts, they were slightly outmatched in their first encounter!
Their innate supernatural abilities are the trump card of these powerful bloodline demon beasts.

Although powerful, it consumes a great deal of bloodline power, and can only be used three or four times in a short period of time before exhausting itself.

Xu Chuan only consumed his magical power.

Comparing the two.

It's like the monsters using their trump cards, while Xu Chuan's skill strike is only one level stronger than a normal attack.

After all, with his current divine sense, controlling the Azure Dragon Sword is very easy.

It's not much different from the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

It simply means the quality of the magic power is one level lower.

He didn't use any secret techniques to enhance his strength.

Xu Chuan stood beneath the cyan-gold light curtain, his aura as steady as ever.

His magical power was so profound that it far surpassed that of ordinary Golden Core cultivators at the peak of their cultivation.

Even though this sword formation consumes a great deal of mana, Xu Chuan, in his current state, can hold out for half an hour without any problem.

"Again."

His voice was calm, and his sword technique changed.

The Azure Dragon Sword shifted its stance, no longer attacking in a scattered manner.

Instead, it transformed into a dazzling sword rainbow that stretched across the heavens and earth, and rushed towards the Nine Nether Sparrow, whose aura was relatively sinister!

The dragon opened its mouth wide, spewing out countless fine sword energies like a torrential rain, while its tail swept across, bringing with it a gale that tore through space!
The Nine Nether Sparrow shrieked, hastily unleashing another burst of Nine Nether Black Wind to defend itself, while simultaneously flashing away.

However, the Stegosaurus was too fast and its attacks were too dense, so the Black Wind was unable to completely block all the sword energy.

Several incredibly sharp Gengjin sword energies pierced through the black wind and slashed fiercely at its wings!

"Pfft!"

Black feathers fluttered, and demonic blood splattered!

The Nine Nether Bird let out a painful cry.

The left wing was slashed open with a deep wound that exposed bone.

The sword energy swirling around it continues to erode its demonic power and vitality.

Seeing its companion injured, the Suanni roared and pounced, its claws crackling with dark gold lightning, fiercely grabbing at the sword dragon's back, attempting to relieve the siege by attacking from the north.

However, the sword dragon seemed to have eyes in the back of its head. With a nimble twist of its body, it slapped out a sword-qi dragon claw, which clashed head-on with the lion's thunder claw!
"boom!"

Golden light and yellow radiance exploded, and the Suanni was forced to retreat.

Although he was not injured, most of the golden lightning on his lightning claws was neutralized.

Meanwhile, the dragon claw on the other side of the Stegosaurus tore a bloody gash several feet long and deep enough to expose bone on the arm of the Suanni!
Dark golden blood gushed out like a spring, and the scales shattered!

"Roar!"

The Suanni roared in pain, its eyes filled with fear.

Its defense is top-notch among demonic beasts, and the sturdiness of its scales is comparable to that of a top-grade mid-level defensive magic weapon. However, it was so vulnerable to the sword dragon's claws!
The two-headed black flame sparrow suffered the most.

Its bloodline was impure and its strength was slightly inferior, so he intuitively felt that Xu Chuan was after it.

Seeing the fierce attack of the sword dragon, he instinctively wanted to escape, so his movements slowed down by a fraction.

In the brief moment between injuring the Nine Nether Bird and forcing back the Suanni, the Stegosaurus suddenly lashed out with its massive tail like a divine whip, striking the base of its left wing squarely!

"Crack!"

The sound of bones cracking rang out!
"Wow!"

The two-headed black flame sparrow let out a shrill scream.

The huge wing on the left was twisted and drooping at an unnatural angle, almost as if it had been cut off by the tail!
Only a little skin and flesh remained connected to the bones, and fresh blood gushed out like a waterfall!
Its aura plummeted instantly, and it fell erratically from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground and creating a deep crater.

Smoke and dust filled the air, leaving only painful spasms and wails.

In just a few moves, two of the three peak-level demonic beasts were injured and one was on the verge of death!

The azure dragon sword circled back, hovering above Xu Chuan's head, its sword light still dazzling, its dragon might awe-inspiring.

It was as if the fierce battle just now hadn't taken much out of him.

Xu Chuan's gaze swept indifferently over the injured Nine Nether Sparrow and Suanni, finally settling on the two-headed Black Flame Sparrow that was on the verge of death at the bottom of the pit.

His voice was icy as he said, "I will only kill it. If you two want to protect it, don't blame me for killing you as well."

These words immediately evoked a chilling murderous intent.

Nine Nether Sparrow glanced at the two-headed Black Flame Sparrow lying in the pit, looking disheveled and barely alive.

His narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes flashed intensely with a dark light, showing struggle and fear, but ultimately transforming into a cold, fierce glint.

"It is ambitious and of impure blood, yet it covets the position of chief of the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan and has repeatedly provoked me. It's better that it dies at the hands of humans."

That saved a lot of trouble later!

"Whatever you want," Nine Nether Sparrow said coldly.

Bottom of the pit.

Upon hearing this, the two-headed black flame sparrow barely managed to raise one of its heads, its eyes filled with disbelief, despair, and resentment, and screamed, "No! Big brother!"
You can't abandon me!

Aren't you afraid your father will blame you?!

"Blame me?" Nine Nether Sparrow sneered, its tone even colder. "The demon beast race is inherently a dog-eat-dog world, where the strong are respected!"
It's just that you're not as skilled as others!

Having said that, it didn't look at the Two-Headed Black Flame Sparrow again.

With a flap of its wings, it transformed into a slightly disheveled streak of dark light and fled towards the distant horizon without hesitation, without even looking back!
The Suanni gave Xu Chuan, who stood holding an umbrella and whose sword aura soared into the sky, a deep look.

He glanced again at the wrecked sparrow in the pit, a complex emotion flashing in his molten gold pupils, but more so a clear understanding of the situation.

The human before them possessed unfathomable strength, and their magical treasures and supernatural powers were awe-inspiring.

Either more peak-level third-tier demonic beasts like them will surround and kill them, or they will have to resort to transforming into powerful demons.

But the human race is powerful, and the demon lords are unwilling to take risks so easily.

After all, the body of a transformed demon is coveted by countless Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

It let out a low roar, and a flash of golden flames appeared around its body. It also transformed into a golden streak of light and followed the direction of the Nine Nether Bird, disappearing into the distance in an instant.

The two strongest demonic beasts, under Xu Chuan's intimidation and the harsh reality, abandoned their companions!

Xu Chuan was not surprised by this.

The world of monsters is far more direct and cruel than that of humans.

"Fellow Daoists, what follows is a personal matter for me. Please make yourselves at home."

He turned his gaze to Qingxuan Zhenjun, Lieyang Zhenjun, and several demonic cultivators from the Blackwater Domain who were watching the battle from afar, and said calmly.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Kurong's supernatural abilities are astonishing. I have had a great time today. I hope we will meet again someday. Farewell!"

One of the demonic cultivators from the Blackwater Domain chuckled twice and was the first to bow.

Then it flew off alone in a certain direction.

Most of the other demonic cultivators also practiced alone.

Only the White Demon and the Black Demon were together.

After bidding farewell to Xu Chuan, True Lord Qingxuan and True Lord Lieyang also departed one after another.

In the blink of an eye, only Xu Chuan remained above the ruins that had just experienced a great battle, along with the two-headed black flame sparrow at the bottom of the pit, which was severely injured, dying, and filled with despair.

Xu Chuan's eyes were icy cold, his killing intent almost tangible, firmly locking onto the Black Flame Sparrow.

However, he did not immediately kill the enemy, but instead quickly made hand seals.

Profound runes containing the power of confinement and sealing flew from his fingertips.

Like a chain, it pierced into the Black Flame Sparrow's body, precisely sealing the operation of its demon core and the fluctuations in its sea of ​​consciousness, completely depriving it of the ability to resist and self-destruct.

He must capture this sparrow alive!

As for who would kill it, he had already made his decision.

However, at the very moment the seal was completed, Xu Chuan suddenly frowned slightly.

An extremely subtle yet vast and profound fluctuation of divine consciousness quietly swept across this area.

Xu Chuan's divine sense had already reached the Nascent Soul level, so he was able to detect that someone was secretly probing him.

"As expected, it attracted the attention of a Nascent Soul expert."

Xu Chuan understood.

He knew all along that if he went all out, it would inevitably attract the attention of the Nascent Soul cultivators who had entered the prison.

After all, such a great battle, even if it takes thousands of miles to reach, could be detected by Nascent Soul cultivators.

Xu Chuan had anticipated this and contacted Mo Yue telepathically, asking him to come over.

Just a moment later.

"Roar!"

A deafening dragon roar, filled with a savage and violent aura, rolled in from the distant horizon!

Immediately afterwards, a violent and terrifying demonic power swept in all directions like a tsunami!
Xu Chuan looked up and saw a huge, dark green figure breaking through the clouds on the horizon, winding its way through the air and arriving in an instant.

That was a dragon over a hundred feet long, with horns on its head and four claws on its belly!

Mo Yue's massive body hovered in mid-air, its dark golden dragon eyes first coldly sweeping over the sealed two-headed black flame sparrow below.

Then his consciousness scattered in all directions.

It clashed with the divine sense of the Nascent Soul cultivator lurking in the shadows.

A sound like thunder seemed to rise from the void.

"You come from the 'Ten Thousand Mountains'?" a voice rang out.

"I come from the Southern Heaven, from the Azure Dragon Palace!"

Upon hearing that it came from the south, the obscure nascent soul remained silent for a moment, and then gave no response.

"gone."

Mo Yue said something indifferently, and then transformed into human form.

"Senior, save me! I am the son of the Demon Lord of the 'Ten Thousand Mountains.' Save my life, and my father will reward you handsomely."

Mo Yue completely ignored him.

Xu Chuan flicked his sleeve, putting the body into a spirit beast pouch, and then put away the Azure Dragon Umbrella.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer. Although the guys who were spying have left, there's no guarantee that others won't have ulterior motives."

Mo Yue nodded slightly.

Xu Chuan concealed the aura emanating from Mo Yue, and the two quickly returned to Dongxi.

Almost exactly a few dozen breaths after they left.

Then several more Nascent Soul divine senses swept over.

Unfortunately, Xu Chuan erased the aura here, so they couldn't track down Xu Chuan and Mo Yue's whereabouts.

The prison is neither too big nor too small.

Even for those in the Nascent Soul stage, finding someone is not easy.

The group exchanged a few words.

"A powerful demon in human form has entered the prison. Which fellow cultivator would be willing to tell me which demon lord from the 'Ten Thousand Mountains' it is?"

"His aura has been erased; that person's methods are quite remarkable."

"It doesn't seem like the demon lord of the 'Ten Thousand Mountains,' whose aura previously revealed the might of a dragon."

"I've heard that a powerful demon in human form has entered Tiannan. Could it be it?"

"From the Spirit Control Sect?"

"No, it seems to have originated from the Northwest region."

After exchanging information over a few words, the Nascent Soul cultivators dispersed.

Bihan Pool.

Xu Chuan and Mo Yue returned silently, unnoticed by anyone.

He patted the spirit beast pouch and released the heavily injured two-headed black flame sparrow, whose enormous body was like a small mountain.

Xu Chuan transmitted his voice to Xu Mingyuan.

At this moment, he was in seclusion in the mansion, studying various low-grade third-tier talismans.

"Mingyuan." Xu Chuan's voice echoed in his mind.

"Father, is there something you need from your son?"

“The time has come. It’s time to avenge the blood feud that killed my clansmen. Go and bring Derong, Chongkai, and Chongjian to Bihan Pool.”

Upon hearing this...

Xu Mingyuan was startled, and after a moment of silence, he replied, "Thank you, Father."

Half an hour later.

Xu Mingyuan led Xu Derong, Xu Chongkai, and Xu Chongjian to Bihan Pool.

As soon as I came in.

Xu Chongjian and Xu Chongkai immediately noticed that the spiritual energy here was much higher than that of the mansion, and they were both slightly surprised.

Xu Mingyuan immediately noticed the small, dark hill in front of the bamboo house not far away.

His pupils contracted slightly.

But instead of erupting on the spot, he led a few people to Xu Chuan. "Father."

"grandfather."

"Great-grandfather".

Xu Mingyuan and the other three bowed with their hands clasped.

"No need for formalities."

Xu Chongjian glanced at the two-headed black flame bird and asked in surprise, "Grandfather, this demonic beast's aura is terrifying. What level of demonic beast is it?"

"Peak of the third tier!"

Xu Chongjian and Xu Chongkai both gasped in shock.

The fact that the Twin-Headed Black Flame Sparrow was the murderer of Ren Xiaoyao was known only to the core members of the Xu family.

Therefore, Xu Derong did not react when she saw it.

They were simply surprised by the power of this monster.

Xu Chuan made a hand seal, and a stream of light entered the body of the two-headed black flame sparrow, instantly giving it the ability to speak.

"True Lord Ku Rong, if you want to kill me, then kill me. But why capture me just to let these low-level cultivators watch and humiliate me?"

"You deserve to die, of course, but I'll make sure you die knowing why."

"Heh, they just think I'm the weakest and have the shallowest foundation. It's a life-or-death struggle, yet they act so righteous."

Human cultivators are indeed all hypocrites.

Xu Chuan ignored his curses and began to recount, "More than twenty years ago, in the 'Qinghai Forest,' a human cultivator was forming his core here, and you happened to be passing by."

Upon hearing this, Xu Derong was terrified!
She looked at the two-headed black flame sparrow in disbelief, then at Xu Mingyuan.

Xu Mingyuan nodded slightly to him.

From that moment on, her gaze toward the Two-Headed Black Flame Sparrow changed, becoming filled with hatred!
That kind of hatred was etched into my bones.
"You originally intended to devour that person, but that person did not want you to succeed, and had no choice but to self-destruct."

How do you know about this?

The two-headed black flame sparrow was slightly surprised. "There shouldn't have been anyone else at the time. Could it be that old guy Tree King told you?"
What is your relationship with him?

Now, Xu Chongkai finally understands why this monster appeared here.

Most of the other monsters are dead, so why is this one so special?

The great-grandfather wanted to capture him alive and bring him back.

Xu Chongkai's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the two-headed black flame sparrow.

"The person who revealed himself is my grandson-in-law and one of the core members of my Xu family. He is her master and father-in-law. This is his wife and two sons."

The two-headed black flame sparrow was immediately dumbfounded.

It's unbelievable!

"So that's how it is. No wonder you've been staring at me. So that person was a member of your Xu family. It's a pity we didn't get to eat him back then!"

"You deserve to die! You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"

Xu Chongkai suddenly unleashed his aura, and a flying sword appeared in his hand. He then wielded it to fiercely stab at the two-headed black flame sparrow.

Ding Ding Ding ~
The fire was sparkling, but it left not a single scratch.

Xu Chongkai's current strength is at the early stage of the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, but even if he unleashes his full power, he cannot harm the Twin-Headed Black Flame Sparrow in the slightest.

Its feathers provide defense comparable to a mid-grade magic weapon.

This is something that no magical artifact could possibly harm!

"How could a mere ant possibly harm me!"

The two-headed black flame sparrow resembled a prisoner driven mad before his execution.

"Thank you, Grandfather, for always remembering my husband's grudge. If my husband knew this in the afterlife, he would be very pleased."

Xu Derong immediately knelt down and bowed to Xu Chuan.

The same applies to Xu Chongkai and Xu Chongjian.

"Get up," Xu Chuan said. "My Xu family will always remember those who have contributed to the family."

"We always repay kindness with gratitude and avenge wrongs with blood!"

He paused, then looked at them again, "You must take revenge yourselves."

Xu Derong glanced at Xu Mingyuan, who clasped his hands and said, "Father, please make a move. Even if this fiend is severely injured, it is not something I can easily kill."

Not to mention De Jong, Chong Kai, and Chong Jian.

"Please, grandfather, take action to avenge my husband and settle this blood feud!"

"Please, great-grandfather, take action to avenge my father!"

"it is good."

Xu Chuan looked at the two-headed black flame sparrow and said, "Today I will kill you with seven words!"

"Seven words to kill me?" The two-headed black flame sparrow suddenly raised its left head, letting out a hoarse and piercing laugh, with black flames dancing in its eye sockets.

"What a joke! Do you think you're a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
Words spoken become law, a single word can kill a soul?
How dare someone with only a mere Golden Core cultivation level utter such arrogant words!

Even if I am severely injured and captured, I am not someone you can easily humiliate!
"If you've got the guts, give me a quick death! Stop playing tricks!"

"kill!"

Xu Chuan uttered the first word.

The instant this syllable sounded, an invisible and intangible divine power seemed to transform into a bladeless weapon, piercing deep into the consciousness of the two-headed black flame sparrow!
"Ugh!"

The two heads of the Black Flame Sparrow jerked back sharply at the same time, emitting a mournful howl that was so shrill it didn't sound like a bird's cry!

The screams were filled with unbelievable horror and heart-wrenching pain!
The entire sea of ​​consciousness was turned upside down.

That kind of pain far surpasses physical trauma, reaching the very essence of the soul.

Dark red blood vessels were seeping from the eyes, ears, mouths, and noses of both heads.

Without the slightest pause, the second word followed immediately.

"kill!"

This time, the power of divine sense transformed into dozens of silver needles of divine sense, which frantically drilled into, pierced, and stirred along the cracks in the sea of ​​consciousness caused by the first strike!
"Awooooo!!"

The two-headed black flame sparrow's screams suddenly rose in pitch, becoming distorted and desperate!
The two heads collided and tore at each other in agony, as if trying to transfer the excruciating pain that originated from the depths of their souls.

The third character.

The fourth character.

"kill!"

"kill!!"

"kill!!!"

The two-headed black flame sparrow could no longer make a decent sound; only a "hoarse" panting sound and barely perceptible twitching could be heard from its throat.

Its massive body looked as if all its bones had been removed.

next moment.

The last faint breath of life from the two-headed black flame sparrow came to an abrupt end.

It twitched one last time, then remained completely still.

The blood slowly stopped flowing from the seven orifices, but the bloodstains had long since dried and turned black.

The two heads remained in a dying posture, showing no signs of life.

Soul and spirit annihilated, body and spirit vanished!
Xu Chuan raised his hand and grabbed a remnant of the soul, forcibly extracting it and storing it away.

Then, he pointed his fingers like a knife and slashed through the air.

The chest of the two-headed black flame sparrow split open, and a demon core the size of a fist slowly flew out.

Finally, he made a hand seal.

Instantly, thick, syrupy black flame sparrow blood essence was extracted.

Its color was dark red, almost black, and it exuded astonishing blood energy and residual demonic power. It gathered into a ball and fell into another jade bottle.

The body shrank at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The Xu family never wastes materials. Even if they kill the two-headed black flame sparrow, its essence, demon core, and blood essence will become materials for alchemy.

The countless feathers, claws, and beaks on its body can become materials for crafting magical artifacts.

This is a corpse at the peak of the third rank, enough to be used to refine a high-grade magic weapon.

The Xu family also possesses the Xuan Yu Ming Snake and the Nine Nether Earth Python from the Black Cloud Mountains, both of which are currently in Xu Deling's possession.

The two-headed black flame sparrow was completely dead.

Xu Mingyuan and the others closed their eyes, as if in silent mourning.

"Xiaoyao, you can rest in peace now," Xu Mingyuan said silently in his heart.

"Thank you, Grandfather. Now that the murderer is dead, we will take our leave."

Xu Chuan nodded.

Xu Chongjian followed him away, and after a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said, "Great-grandfather, your grandson will become as strong as you in the future."

Slay a peak third-tier demonic beast!

Protect your people!

Protect my Xu family!

Xu Chuan smiled with relief, "Then cultivate diligently. Your path, Chongkai's path, and the path of all the Xu family members have only just begun."

Xu Mingyuan also clasped his hands and said, "Father, I will take my leave now."

"Go ahead, now that it's over, let it go completely."

"Yes."

After they left, they went to the Xu family's memorial park to pay their respects to Ren Xiaoyao.

“Brother Youhuang, that Ku Rong is protecting the Xu family of Dongxi. With him around, it will be difficult to destroy him unless my army of the Ten Thousand Mountains is assembled.”

Moreover, in the past two days, many third-tier demonic beasts have been killed by Golden Core cultivators from the Blackwater and Tiannan regions.

The losses this time are likely far greater than the last one.

The Suanni looked at the Nine Nether Sparrow and said.

"It's quite large; if this continues, it might affect our entry into the ancient battlefield."

Nine Nether Sparrow paused, then continued, "Then let all the demon beasts gather. Compared to the Blackwater and Tiannan regions, it's unrealistic for our 'Ten Thousand Mountains' alone to contend with them."

Then we'll go check out that cave stream.

We need to bring the monkeys along this time.

Its natural talent for combat is superior, and its strength surpasses ours.

If the three of us working together can't do it, then we'll have to report to the Demon Lord and the others.

"That's fine too."

Within two days.

The third-tier demonic beasts in the prison gathered together.

As for those below the third rank, the Nine Nether Sparrows didn't care much.

For both cultivators and demon beasts, the Golden Core stage is a watershed moment.

In relatively barren places like Canglong Prefecture, cultivators with mixed spiritual roots have a chance to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

It is possible to have a pseudo-spiritual root with the assistance of foundation-building pills and spiritual veins.

Since the offspring of demon beasts are mostly superior to humans in terms of foundation, first and second-tier demon beasts are produced in an endless stream, and the competition is extremely fierce even in the "Ten Thousand Mountains".

"Strange, I haven't seen many third-tier demonic beasts today, they're all just small fry, killing them won't get me many resources or spirit stones."

Many demonic cultivators from the Blackwater Domain and Golden Core cultivators from the Southern Heaven were astonished.

However, some people who knew the situation saw a large number of third-tier monsters gathering.

The news spread quickly.

"Are they planning to launch a counterattack against humanity? That's incredibly overconfident."

The "Ten Thousand Mountains" is one of the dominant forces among the demon beasts, and there are seven similar demon forces in the two regions.

Its most powerful members are known as Demon Lords.

However, just like human cultivators, there are also conflicts among the demon race.

Unless it's a catastrophe that threatens to wipe out their entire race, or an immense benefit, it's extremely difficult to get them to unite.

"These third-tier demonic beasts have been gathered together, seemingly intending to launch an attack on the last Golden Core force in the Prison Land."

"That's a bit of an exaggeration. In a small place like this, a few late-stage third-tier demonic beasts could easily wipe out a Golden Core force."

“Fellow Daoist, you are ignorant. A few days ago, we, the Blackwater Region, Tiannan, and several top experts from the ‘Ten Thousand Mountains’ met.”

One of them dominated the entire arena, while another single-handedly took on three peak-level third-tier monsters.

Moreover, those three were said to be of demon lord bloodline, each possessing powerful innate abilities.

But even so, they still lost.

"Such a person exists? Is he invincible below the Nascent Soul stage?"

"He seems to be known as the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage in some prefecture in Tiannan, and that Golden Core family is a branch of his bloodline."

"If that's how it is, then we're in for a good show."

Many people had a premonition that the monsters would launch a large-scale attack on Dongxi, so they waited around the area.

Xu Mingwei, Xu Deling, Ye Fan, Xu Deyue, and Xu Mingshu all sent the message back and asked if they needed to go back to help.
Xu Chuan, however, told them that it wouldn't be too late to come back in two more days.

With him, Mo Yue, and Mo Wentian around, Dongxi is as stable as Mount Tai.

Unless a Nascent Soul cultivator intervenes, a Nascent Soul war will break out here.

However, the Nascent Soul cultivators from both regions came here primarily for the ancient battlefield, and would not rashly intervene in a battle at the Golden Core stage.

After all, everyone has connections and backing.

If two Golden Core cultivators fight and die, then there's probably nothing to say.

However, if a Nascent Soul cultivator disregards their status and brutally kills a Golden Core junior, then don't blame the adults for taking action.

This situation might force even powerful cultivators to make their appearance.

Then the situation would get out of control.

Many super wars may have been caused by a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator.

A dark, ominous cloud rolled in from Daliang, obscuring the sky.

Its colors are mixed, with black, gray, red and gold intertwined and surging, as if dragging the entire sky into a chaotic and primitive era.

The clouds were filled with shadowy, enormous, and ferocious outlines.

The deep, thunderous roars of beasts, the piercing, sharp cries of birds, and the rustling sounds of countless claws rubbing together and scales colliding blended together to create a terrifying cacophony that sent shivers down one's spine.

Leading the pack were three peak-level third-tier demonic beasts with auras as deep as abyss and as majestic as mountains.

In the center is Zhu Yan, whom Xu Chuan has never met before.

It resembles a giant ape, but its entire body is covered with long, crimson fur that looks like burning flames. It has a white head and bare feet, and its face is fierce and tyrannical.

Its two enormous, bronze bell-shaped eyes were blood-red, and just by standing there, they exuded a chilling and ferocious aura.

On the left is the Nine Nether Bird, and on the right is the Suanni.

Within the demonic clouds were sixty or seventy third-tier demonic beasts of various shapes and sizes.

All the demons roared in unison.

A terrifying pressure, like a mountain weighing billions of tons, pressed heavily over Dongxi.

Even with the third-grade high-level Cloud Illusion Array blocking it, the oppressive feeling still penetrated the array and permeated every corner of the cave.

Inside the cave, countless cultivators and martial artists emerged from their rooms or looked up.

My mind was gripped by fear.

"So many third-tier demonic beasts! That's at least twice as many as last time!"

"Can we hold on this time?"

Fearful whispers spread through the crowd, despite their confidence in the family's grand formation and their ancestor.

But the scene before them, which resembled the end of the world, still shattered the psychological defenses of many young disciples.

Just now.

A figure in a green robe walked slowly and unhurriedly out of the great formation.

It was Xu Chuan.

He stood alone in the air outside the cave, his tiny figure forming a stark and eerie contrast with the overwhelming army of demonic beasts.
