Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Thirty-six Nascent Soul stage cultivators joined forces to besiege the Holy Flame Sect's mountain gate, but before they could kill any of the Holy Flame Sect members, one of them was killed by the enemy. This result was obviously unacceptable to everyone.

Therefore, without the great cultivator who had lost his fellow disciple urging them, the powerful figures from top-tier forces, such as True Man Chongshan, all brought out the treasures they had brought with them.

Suddenly, a five-colored gourd appeared in the hand of Master Chongshan. With a surge of his magic power, five-colored light burst forth from the gourd, transforming into a long river of five-colored light that swept towards the gates of the Holy Fire Sect.

This is the Five Elements Divine Sand Gourd, the treasure of the Divine Sand Sect, a powerful spiritual treasure that is no less than the Purple Sun Divine Sword.

To low- to mid-level cultivators, that long river of five-colored light might actually be mistaken for some kind of magical treasure.

However, in the eyes of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it can be seen that it is composed of countless tiny five-colored spiritual sands, each grain of which is much finer than a strand of hair!

This Five Elements Spiritual Sand contains the wonders of the Five Elements, and is not restrained by any supernatural power; in fact, it even restrains many supernatural powers with Five Elements attributes.

At this moment, the magnificent five-colored river of light fell into the fire cloud formed by the Holy Fire Sect's mountain-protecting formation, immediately dispersing a large area of ​​the fire cloud and revealing the fiery red light shield deep within.

Then, the five-colored rosy clouds repeatedly washed over the fiery red light shield, directly causing the spiritual light of the array shield in some areas to dim and become shaky.

At the same time, Ye Qingxuan, a great cultivator of the Nine Yuan Sword Sect, also directly summoned the sect's treasured flying sword that he had brought with him.

This sword is called "Sky Rift," a magical flying sword passed down from ancient times, said to possess the power to tear through space!

As Ye Qingxuan activated his sword technique, the legend quickly became reality.

A streak of silver sword light flashed like lightning, tearing through the sky and leaving a long, unbroken white line in the air.

The late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators present were able to sense the abnormally chaotic spatial power near the white line with their powerful divine senses, indicating that it was definitely not a trace formed by the tearing of air.

However, what truly allowed people to clearly feel the power of that silver sword light was its performance after it entered the formation.

Then it was seen that wherever the sword passed, the fiery clouds were directly cut open, revealing the inner scene.

Then the silver sword light struck the fiery red light shield deep within the fiery clouds.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of firelight appeared on the light shield, followed by a tear that stretched for several feet!

Such a large crack was more than enough for several Nascent Soul stage cultivators to rush in through the gap.

However, since the great formation had not yet been broken and the Holy Fire Sect had not yet revealed all its trump cards, no great cultivator would really risk such a charge.

However, with Ye Qingxuan's sword piercing through the protective barrier as a precedent, the other great cultivators naturally did not want to be outdone, and immediately unleashed their powerful killing moves.

"As expected of a swordsman renowned for their sharp attacks, their single-target offensive capabilities are unmatched!"

Looking at the crack that Ye Qingxuan had cleaved open with his sword, which was difficult to heal for a long time, Zhou Chun couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Of course, it was just amazement.

In terms of individual combat ability, he is not as good as Ye Qingxuan who is currently wielding the [Sky Rift] flying sword, but if the two of them were to truly fight, he would definitely be the victor, without a doubt!

So after his initial surprise, he continued his steady and methodical attack on the formation.

In fact, although he could not break the formation with a single sword like Ye Qingxuan, the pressure he exerted on the Holy Fire Sect's protective formation was no less than anyone else's.

After all, his attacks were relentless, and he also had three demon king spirit pets assisting him from the side.

After everyone went all out, the Holy Fire Sect's protective formation quickly became shaken, and many places began to be in danger.

If this continues, the formation will surely be broken in less than half an hour!

Having learned from the lesson of the fallen early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, the remaining early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and some mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators moved closer to the great cultivators, placing themselves within the range where the great cultivators could intervene and provide assistance at any time.

In this way, the Crimson Flame Immortal and others inside would have little chance to repeat their previous actions.

After enduring this for another quarter of an hour, as gaps appeared in many places in the formation, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Holy Fire Sect who were fully activating the formation also suffered serious injuries, with blood trickling from their mouths due to the immense backlash.

The sixth-order holy fire, having exhausted itself in the battle with the blue water dragon, returned to the altar inside the Holy Fire Sect's mountain gate after barely defeating the blue water dragon.

This sixth-order sacred fire has been worshipped and nurtured for thousands of years, and has already acquired extraordinary spirituality, knowing how to seek advantage and avoid harm.

Currently, no one in the Holy Fire Cult truly possesses the strength to refine it; they can only rely on the array restrictions left by their ancestors to activate it for defense, so their actual control over it is naturally very poor.

Seeing this, True Man Crimson Flame could only grit his teeth and reveal the Holy Fire Sect's biggest trump card.

Suddenly, a crimson sun rose from within the gates of the Holy Fire Sect, instantly releasing countless rays of fire that illuminated the surrounding area.

In an instant, the area spanning hundreds of miles was covered and enveloped by crimson flames, forming a crimson domain.

The many Nascent Soul cultivators within this crimson domain felt as if their insides were burning, as if flames were about to burst forth from their bodies. They had no choice but to do their best to mobilize their internal magical power to suppress that alien force.

Among them, late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators like Zhou Chun fared somewhat better. Although they were also affected by the crimson flames, suppressing that alien power was not difficult for them, and they still had some strength left.

However, cultivators like Zhou Zhiying, who are in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm, cannot do this. They must go all out to barely suppress that alien power and prevent themselves from truly burning up.

As a result, they were no longer able to exert any effort to attack the mountain-protecting formation, and even had to worry about being taken advantage of.

Fortunately, they all have their own powerful backers.

When he realized that his apprentice and spirit pet were struggling, Zhou Chun immediately unleashed his innate divine power, the Golden Cauldron Domain, which created a golden sky within the area covered by the crimson flames.

After Zhou Zhiying, Yinlongjun, and Yishanjun entered his domain, the influence of the crimson fire was greatly reduced.

The other great cultivators also made the same choice as Zhou Chun.

In an instant, under the crimson sun, one after another, colorful domains rose up, forcibly creating their own world in this crimson sky!

However, the domain formed by the crimson sun is clearly not the full extent of this treasure's power.

As the cultivators struggled to resist the invasion of the Dharma Domain's power, the crimson sun suddenly burst into flames again, unleashing seven crimson beams that struck seven different targets.

A beam of crimson light shot out from Zhou Chun's side, but its target was Zhou Zhiying.

Fortunately, he remained vigilant and immediately flashed to his beloved disciple's side, fully activating the [Nine Luminaries Dragon Scale Shield] to protect the two of them.

As the crimson beam of light struck the [Nine Luminaries Dragon Scale Shield], Zhou Chun's divine sense, which he had entrusted to the spiritual treasure, seemed to be burning. His mana was also being rapidly drained by the spiritual treasure, causing even this great cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm to feel a sense of exhaustion!

After a brief stalemate, the power of the crimson pillar of light finally ran out, and it ultimately failed to break through the protection of the top-tier defensive spiritual treasure, the Nine Luminaries Dragon Scale Shield.

The other six crimson beams of light also failed to achieve any significant gains, only causing some injuries to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator with the combat power of a great cultivator!

But just as the cultivators were desperately trying to resist the attack of the seven crimson light pillars, the crimson sun shot towards Master Chongshan at the speed of a shooting star chasing the moon, and appeared above Master Chongshan's head in the blink of an eye.

It is obvious that among the many cultivators besieging the Holy Flame Sect, the person whom True Person Crimson Flame hates the most is undoubtedly True Person Chongshan, who created this situation.

Therefore, he used the Holy Fire Sect's most powerful trump card on Master Chongshan.

However, how could Master Chongshan not know that he was definitely Master Chiyan's primary target? He had never let his guard down.

He had been urging the Five Elements Divine Sand Gourd to release a large amount of Five Elements Divine Sand to form a long dragon to dissipate the power of the crimson pillar of light. As the crimson sun attacked him, he immediately spat out a mouthful of his life essence blood onto the gourd without regard for the cost.

In an instant, the Five Elements Divine Sand Gourd, which had absorbed his essence and a large amount of magic power, emitted a burst of five-colored spiritual light and spewed out all the Five Elements Divine Sand inside the gourd in one go!

It should be noted that this [Five Elements Divine Sand Gourd] is the treasure of the Divine Sand Sect, and the Five Elements Divine Sand inside has accumulated an unknown amount over countless years.

Almost every Nascent Soul stage cultivator of the Divine Sand Sect must refine a certain number of Five Elements Divine Sand rough embryos every hundred years according to the sect's secret methods and put them into the [Five Elements Divine Sand Gourd] for nurturing and refining.

However, the number of times the Divine Sand Sect has used this treasured artifact can be counted on one hand.

Thus, the amount of the Five Elements Divine Sand inside, which only enters and never exits, far exceeds what ordinary people can imagine.

At this moment, as Master Chongshan released all the Five Elements Divine Sand within him in one go, a brilliant five-colored radiance, like a vast starry sea, protected Master Chongshan and his fellow disciples within it.

The crimson sun sank into the vast sea of ​​stars, and the intense heat instantly melted a large amount of the Five Elements Divine Sand into real smoke.

However, compared to the vast starry sea, the Five Elements Divine Sand that was melted and burned was nothing at all.

Under the relentless erosion of countless Five Elements Divine Sands, the power of that crimson sun was gradually exhausted, revealing the treasure's true form.

The true form of this crimson sun was actually a fiery red bronze mirror, with jagged edges as if it had been shattered by some sharp weapon.

"The [Haoyang Divine Mirror], a celestial treasure inherited from ancient times, once refined a sixth-tier alien race member in ancient times. However, it was ultimately shattered by another mid-grade sixth-tier alien race member who used a treasure of the same tier. Later, Venerable Saint Flame obtained most of the fragments and repaired it with his powerful weapon-refining skills, restoring most of its original power!"

At this moment, while urging the Five Elements Divine Sand to submerge and trap the Haoyang Divine Mirror, Master Chongshan also recounted the origin of this treasure as if it were a treasure he knew by heart.

Like the Divine Sand Sect, they are a top-tier power with a long history. Back when Venerable Saint Flame was still alive, they were already one of the most prominent sects in the cultivation world of the far west.

Therefore, his understanding of the Holy Flame Cult is even clearer than that of many Golden Core Elders of the Holy Flame Cult who have no access to its core secrets.

Moreover, this treasure was used when the Holy Fire Sect defeated the combined forces of many cultivation factions in the far west, and its power has long been recorded and passed down.

The Divine Sand Sect had even rehearsed this scene long ago, envisioning how to use a massive amount of Five Elements Divine Sand to diminish the power of this treasure.

And today, the idea that was once envisioned has finally been validated by Master Chongshan.

This filled him with excitement and joy, and he held the sect's founders in the highest esteem for their foresight and strategic planning.

Conversely, there were Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Holy Fire Sect, such as True Man Crimson Flame.

Seeing that even their sect's most prized treasure, the Haoyang Divine Mirror, had failed to kill the powerful enemy and instead trapped them, they were filled with despair.

"I hate it! I hate that my cultivation is too weak, I hate that I'm not a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!"

Two lines of bloody tears suddenly welled up in Crimson Flame True Man's eyes, and he also let out a roar full of hatred.

If he were a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, the power of the [Haoyang Divine Mirror] would definitely be more than what he had just witnessed, and he would not be so easily trapped by the Five Elements Divine Sand.

Unfortunately, he was only a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Although his strength was comparable to that of a Grand Cultivator, he was not a true Grand Cultivator and did not have the powerful magic power of a Grand Cultivator to activate the treasure, the Haoyang Divine Mirror.

With the [Haoyang Divine Mirror] trapped, the Holy Fire Sect's protective mountain formation has been broken, and the countdown has begun.

Master Chiyan and the others had no means to change or stop what had happened!

Sure enough, just over a quarter of an hour after the [Haoyang Divine Mirror] was trapped, Zhou Chun and his group forcibly broke through the Holy Fire Sect's protective mountain formation, rendering it largely ineffective.

With the mountain-protecting formation broken, the scene inside the Holy Fire Sect's mountain gate was revealed to everyone.

Inside the Holy Fire Sect's mountain gate, flames raged everywhere. The Holy Fire Sect cultivators, driven by despair, were burning down resource sites such as medicinal fields and orchards, as well as important places like the library.

Seeing this, True Person Tianxuan couldn't help but sigh, "Alas! Fellow Daoist Chiyan, why are you doing this? We actually had no intention of annihilating your sect!"

Upon hearing this, many Holy Fire Cult cultivators who had been in despair were startled, their eyes filled with surprise as they looked at True Person Tianxuan.

Even True Immortal Crimson Flame was shaken, and couldn't help but shout at True Immortal Heavenly Profound, "Fellow Daoist Heavenly Profound, is this true? You truly will not destroy the Holy Fire Sect's lineage?"

Upon hearing this, True Immortal Tianxuan said in a deep voice, "I still have some credibility in the cultivation world. My previous words remain unchanged. As long as Fellow Daoist Chiyan and the others are ready to be slaughtered, the lineage of Venerable Saint Flame will certainly not be severed!"

After these words were spoken, many of the Holy Fire Cult cultivators who had previously been skeptical chose to believe.

At this point, they have no choice but to believe!

Some opportunists even knelt down on the spot and loudly proclaimed to the four supreme elders of the sect, including the Crimson Flame Immortal, "To ensure the continuation of our sect's lineage, your disciple Ximen Wuji dares to ask you, Ancestors, to die!"

"Shut up, you wicked disciple! Are you going to betray your master and ancestors?"

Behind Master Chiyan, a middle-aged man with a resolute face suddenly changed his expression and glared angrily at the person who had spoken, shouting loudly.

It turns out that the opportunist was his disciple!

However, when his disciple spoke, he already knew that he had no room to back down.

Therefore, even when facing his master, whom he always held in the highest esteem, he immediately retorted without hesitation: "Master, please forgive me. This disciple has absolutely no intention of disrespecting you or the patriarchs. It's just that our sect has a history of ten thousand years, and we must not allow it to be interrupted in our hands. Otherwise, how could we face our ancestors after we die!"

At this point, he declared with righteous indignation, "If sacrificing my life today could preserve the sect's legacy, I will absolutely not choose to live in disgrace!"

interesting!

Seeing this, many of Zhou Chun and the others smiled, finding the scene truly amusing.

Master Chongshan, with a broad smile, mocked, "How laughable! Even a Golden Core stage disciple of the Holy Fire Sect is willing to sacrifice his life to preserve the sect's legacy, yet some old fogies who have enjoyed the sect's offerings their entire lives are so afraid of death, willing to let the sect's legacy be severed for their own selfish reasons!"

Upon hearing this, a junior brother beside him immediately laughed and said, "Isn't that right? This calamity was clearly caused by you, Fellow Daoist Chiyan, yet you don't even have the courage to face it. It's truly despicable!"

Hearing the mockery from these two arch-enemies, True Man Crimson Flame and the others were filled with rage and their eyes widened in fury.

Perhaps it was the statement made by that Nascent Soul stage cultivator from the Divine Sand Sect that the calamity was caused by True Person Crimson Flame and others that resonated with many disciples of the Holy Fire Sect.

Perhaps Ximen Wuji, the leader, is still alive and could be used as a reference.

Soon, several more Holy Fire Cult cultivators knelt down, shouting, "To preserve the Holy Cult's legacy, we respectfully beg our esteemed ancestors to die!"

With so many people following suit, it quickly led to even more Holy Fire Cult disciples kneeling on the ground and shouting.

In just a few dozen breaths, seven or eight out of ten surviving cultivators inside the Holy Fire Sect's mountain gate knelt on the ground, shouting, "Please, Ancestor, die!"

Seeing this, the four Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Holy Fire Sect, including True Man Crimson Flame, all turned ashen-faced and felt a deep sorrow in their hearts.

"The Holy Fire Cult is finished!"

Zhou Chun spoke softly, his heart filled with emotion.

He knew very well that under such circumstances, even if True Man Chiyan and the others were ultimately executed, what happened today would become a thorn in the hearts of all the surviving disciples of the Holy Fire Sect, and in the future, none of these people would be able to overcome the "inner demon tribulation".

Moreover, after such an incident, future disciples of the Holy Fire Sect will likely have to question their respect for teachers, and the trust between teachers and disciples will be very fragile!

This outcome might be even more terrifying than the annihilation of an entire family!

Even Zhou Chun saw this, so how could True Man Chi Yan and the others not know it?

But do they still have a choice?

If they resolutely refuse to submit to execution, even if some manage to escape today, they will have no face to call themselves disciples of the Holy Fire Cult!

"That's enough! That's enough!"

Suddenly, the Crimson Flame Immortal looked up at the sky and sighed several times, then said in a low voice, "Since you all think this way, I will grant your wish!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he glared angrily at Zhou Chun and the others, shouting, "My fine head is right here! Who's going to take it?"

Upon hearing his words, the Holy Fire Sect disciples kneeling on the ground immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then a cold voice rang out: "Li Chenxing of the Nine Yuan Sword Sect, send Fellow Daoist Chi Yan on his way!"

As he spoke, a crimson sword light slashed towards Crimson Flame True Man.

As for the crimson sword light that was slashing towards him, True Man Crimson Flame simply closed his eyes and made no attempt to resist.

In the blink of an eye, the head of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was separated from his body, and his Nascent Soul was also directly shattered by the power of the flying sword!

Seeing this, Yishan Jun beside Zhou Chun muttered, "What a pity! A cultivator's Nascent Soul is a great tonic. Rather than destroying it like this, it would be better to let Feihu benefit from it!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but lick his lips, looking like he was drooling.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you spouting, you beast? Shut your mouth right now!"

There are dozens of Nascent Soul stage cultivators present!

To say he wanted to devour a Nascent Soul in front of these people, it's truly astonishing that he dared to say it!

As soon as Yishan Jun finished speaking, he felt a chill run down his spine and immediately felt several cold gazes falling on him, the most piercing of which came from Ye Qingxuan!

Therefore, after being reprimanded by Zhou Chun, he quickly smiled sheepishly and said, "Master, please forgive me. Fei Hu knows he was wrong. Fei Hu will slap himself!"

As he spoke, he raised his tiger claws and slapped himself several times, scratching his own face raw.

Of course, such physical injuries meant nothing to him; it was just a statement of his opinion.

With Zhou Chun present, and others minding their own business before beating the dog, Ye Qingxuan decided not to pursue the matter further and withdrew his sword intent.

After this little incident, the remaining three Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Holy Fire Sect also recovered from the shock of the death of the Crimson Flame True Man.

Then another Nascent Soul cultivator with graying hair closed his eyes and said, "Come on, give me a sword strike too, let's have a quick and painless fight!"

"Zheng will personally see you off on your journey!"

A powerful cultivator spoke coldly, and with a wave of his hand, he unleashed a crimson flame that burned the Holy Fire Sect's Supreme Elder to ashes, leaving only his storage bag and other belongings.

This person was the same great cultivator who had previously lost his junior brother.

The fact that two fellow disciples had been executed put immense pressure on the remaining two Supreme Elders of the Holy Fire Sect.

After a long and hesitant exchange, the two men finally let out a long sigh, "So be it. Since both of my senior brothers have willingly sacrificed themselves for the sect, how can I, Gan, live a life of ignominy?"

After saying this, he sang loudly: "The sacred fire shines brightly, the sacred light is dazzling, all my disciples, united in heart and mind..."

He recited the oath of joining the Holy Fire Sect left by its founder, and crimson flames automatically surged from his body, turning him into ashes in the flames.

This scene filled the kneeling Holy Fire Cult disciples below with immense shame, and they couldn't help but chant along: "The Holy Fire shines brightly, the Holy Light is glorious, all my disciples, united in heart and mind..."

Upon seeing this, the remaining Supreme Elder of the Holy Fire Sect's eyes lit up, and he immediately clapped his hands and exclaimed, "How magnificent is Senior Brother Gan! Junior Brother has also come to join you!"

As he spoke, he sang the initiation oath of the Holy Fire Cult while imitating Brother Gan, completing his redemption in the flames.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun and the others were all deeply moved. Listening to the resounding song, they remained speechless for a long time. (End of Chapter)
