Please be my partner.

Blackback and the Calamity Wolf are very interested in the ferocious beasts in the Taiyue Mountain, and often go out hunting together. The dog legions also have their own projects.

In this way, as time passed, the valley and surrounding areas gradually became lively.

A month later, a formation covering the entire valley was activated, and the power of Taiyue Mountain became traceable under the control of the formation.

This power entangled into threads and gathered into a net, wrapping up Mellen layer by layer and suppressing his strength to less than one hundredth.

Suddenly, Mellen felt more relaxed than ever before, as if a heavy burden had suddenly been unloaded, and he felt a light and comfortable feeling.

Think about it, if you slowly gain a hundred kilograms over two or three years, you might not feel much difference because of the length of time. But when you suddenly lose those hundred kilograms without any side effects, how relieved would that be?!

Unfortunately, Melen can only move freely in this small valley with the help of the formation and the power of Taiyue Mountain. Once he leaves the valley, everything will return to its original place.

However, this is enough.

Two months later, the area within a hundred miles around the valley was cleared and became a forbidden zone in the eyes of other life forms.

Xiaoyin's split body controlled a large number of mechanical puppets, which were controlled and directed by Nasus, and began to arrange formations and rituals on a larger scale.

As time passed, the formation and ritual gradually took shape. However, after testing, Nasus directed several large-scale modifications and several times more small- and medium-scale repairs.

With Mellen's current level of wealth, he naturally doesn't need to be as frugal as before. He can make the preparations for promotion as perfect as possible without worrying about wasting resources.

Just as Melen was making final preparations for his promotion to demigod, a storm was quietly sweeping in.

Yulanzhou, nameless barren mountains.

Five figures with obscure auras gathered here. Some of them were covered in black robes, some were hidden in the shadows, and some had concealed their forms with secret methods. In short, their origins could not be identified.

After a long silence, one of the beings brimming with demonic energy suddenly sneered and said, "Humph! The demon clan is fine, but since when have the self-proclaimed orthodox immortal cultivators started hiding their true selves?"

"Who are you two? The old ghost Wushan from the Changqing Immortal Sect? Or the old man Liao from the Immortal Cave?"

"And you, the demon race, dressed up like this, pretending no one can recognize you. Aren't you descendants of the Pengtian Demon Emperor? How come, after being outshined by that old turtle, you've lost even the spirit of being a descendant of the Demon Emperor?!"

The other black-robed man also snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Old Toad, how good do you think you are? Back then, the immortals of immortality chased you to the point where you had no way to escape to heaven or earth, so you had no choice but to betray the demon clan and join the Moye Demon Emperor. Now you've only just reached the semi-immortal realm, and you think you're a big shot? To put it bluntly, you're just a dog of the demon clan!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Seeing the smell of smoke growing heavier, someone finally spoke up to smooth things over. "Your Excellency, Your Highness, what's the point in bringing up the past? Stop talking and don't forget our goal this time. I believe you represent more than just yourselves, right?"

After another moment of silence, Venerable Ha snorted and said, "The man we are dealing with this time has achieved the status of a core disciple of Jinding Mountain. He must be extraordinary. However, the secret realm of Jinding Mountain restricts entry to semi-immortals. No matter how powerful he is, what can he do against the five of us semi-immortals?!"

His Highness Yu lazily said, "The Immortal Sect and my demon clan each sent two semi-immortals, and your demon clan only sent you. How can you think you can be on equal footing with us just because of that?"

"Also, by now, you two should reveal your identities, right?"

The last sentence was said to the two visitors from the Immortal Sect.

The two people from the Immortal Sect looked at each other, and one of them immediately removed his secret disguise and revealed his true face.

His Highness Yu chuckled softly and said, "It is indeed the Immortal Venerable Wushan of the Changqing Immortal Sect. I never thought that such famous and upright sects as you would collude with us demons to commit such a murderous act."

Wushan Immortal Venerable said calmly, "Jinding Mountain is the sacred place of my True Immortal lineage. It has been unattended for a long time, so it is inevitable that there will be some loopholes in the formation, which people can exploit. As the direct descendant of the True Immortal, Changqing Immortal Sect naturally has the obligation to help the ancestor verify whether this core disciple is qualified."

"Hey!~"

Although His Highness Yu sneered disdainfully, he didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned his gaze back to Venerable Ha and asked playfully, "You didn't come here alone, did you? Hurry up and call someone out, or else, don't blame me for kicking you out!"

"Oh! A mere feathered creature, yet you dare to say anything, not even afraid of your tongue being blown away by the wind!"

A devilish cloud came, covering the sky and heading straight for His Highness Yu. The latter was not afraid at all. He stretched out his body slightly, and sand and rocks flew everywhere, and strong winds blew, and he collided violently with the devilish cloud.

The strong wind and the evil cloud entangled for a while, and it seemed that the fight was getting more and more fierce. Immortal Venerable Wushan cursed in his heart that he was more of a hindrance than a help, but he could only come forward again to act as a peacemaker and mediate.

Finally, when the strength of the three parties was basically balanced, negotiations could continue.

At the beginning, although the three parties were dissatisfied with each other, they were able to negotiate with each other despite some bumps and bruises. However, when it came to the final distribution of the spoils, they immediately became arguing with each other.

Everything else was negotiable, but the only problem was that all three parties wanted to get that core disciple.

They all understood that no matter if he took advantage of a loophole or really had the ability, his identity as a core disciple was not fake. If they controlled him, it would be equivalent to controlling the resources of the entire Jinding Mountain!

After arguing for a while, seeing that neither could convince the other and even looking like they were about to fight again, Wushan Immortal Venerable could only say, "There's no point in arguing now. Why don't we wait until we capture that person before deciding where he belongs?"

Everyone then shut up, each with their own thoughts.

Of course, having said that, the so-called "wait until we capture that person and then decide his fate" is nothing more than a joke, which can basically be translated as "it all depends on your ability".

After discussing some details, the six semi-immortal warriors no longer hesitated and turned into streams of light and flew away.

Not far away, Peng Tianxiang, Taishi Guang and Long Qi witnessed the whole process of their elders fighting, negotiating, fighting and negotiating, and their faces were extremely strange.

When the three of them returned, they naturally reported what they saw and learned in Jinding Mountain as soon as possible. In fact, not only them, but many major forces knew the ins and outs of it, and it was a turbulent time.

As for why these three families joined forces and were able to lock down Mellen's whereabouts in the first place, it was actually very simple, because Mellen took away the Demon Suppression Tower of the Demon Emperor Pengtian.

As a descendant of the Pengtian Demon Emperor, although he could not do anything with the magic weapon of his own Demon Emperor ancestor, it was not impossible to track his specific location as long as he was not blocked in a powerful secret realm like Jinding Mountain.

The forces behind Immortal Venerable Wushan and Venerable Ha knew this, so they immediately blocked the door of the descendants of the Pengtian Demon Queen and forced the latter to cooperate.

After a lot of wrangling, a lot of time was wasted. Finally, the three parties reluctantly reached an agreement to jointly hunt down the core disciples of Jinding Mountain.

As for why they sent out six semi-immortal masters, to put it bluntly, it was not because they thought the core disciples of Jinding Mountain were so difficult to deal with, but because they were on guard against each other. In fact, they each had hidden many back-ups, just to achieve a surprise victory in case of an accident.

No matter how the elders fought and schemed, Peng Tianxiang, Taishi Guang and Long Qi could be said to have become acquainted with each other through fighting. Perhaps it was due to the mutual admiration between geniuses that they established some friendships that were both enemies and friends during their contact during this period.

The three parties' training of their younger disciples was not the kind of carefree care for them in their cradles, fearing that they would be blown or wet. Moreover, they were able to cultivate to the level of crossing my realm, and there were only a few with simple minds, so they were allowed to come along and broaden their horizons.

Of course, they were just watching from afar. After all, although the three parties had already assumed that the six semi-immortal masters were definitely capable of taking down the core disciples of Jinding Mountain, they did not underestimate the latter too much, believing that they at least had the strength of a semi-immortal.

If such a strong person were to act recklessly and cross my realm without any resistance, his death would be in vain.

They cherish their own lives very much.

The three of them looked at each other and followed the trail of the six semi-immortals.

Chapter 535 Battle

Taiyue, an unnamed valley.

Time passed by, Melen looked up at the sky, and in a trance, he seemed to be standing at the center of the world, surrounded by dogs that had signed contracts with him.

Spike, a long golden river of fighting spirit flows, encompassing matter, energy, and rules. It constantly devours, expands, and improves, without end.

Little Red Lotus, the sea of blood is surging, surging endlessly, with no known source and no end, going on and on forever.

Garuru seems to be independent of dimension and space, yet it occupies it. Any being who sees it is like a blind man touching an elephant, and can only see a corner of the truth.

The little glass is full of spirit and beauty, with inner charm. One dream bubble after another keeps floating up, magnificent and gorgeous.

Golden hair, the sun and the moon are across the sky, yin and yang are reversed, time and space go back and forth, and years alternate.

The Void Dog, a huge shadow, pressed across the sky, gradually moving from nothingness to reality.

Nasus, three intertwined branching roads support the ladder to the soul.

At this moment, Melen understood everything!

Endless knowledge boiled in his mind, and flashes of inspiration flashed in his thoughts.

Melen felt himself sublimating, evolving, and transcending...

Suddenly, chains suddenly grabbed Mellen, as if trying to drag him back into the filthy quagmire. The surging distracting thoughts began to pollute his increasingly pure consciousness.

Mellen instinctively began to struggle, but soon he found his true self again in that "filth".

Looking at himself again, Mellen discovered that the chains that trapped him were nothing but the contract between him and the dogs.

In that instant just now, he seemed to have understood the world, but in fact he was influenced by the mythical power that was about to be born.

On the road to transcendence, although every stage is important, the most important one is naturally the sixth-level demigod!

The sixth-order demigod is the end point of all mortal beings, and can access powers beyond mortal beings. If one is not careful, he or she may be assimilated by this power beyond mortal beings.

In the words of the Mountain and Sea Realm, it is...Taoism!

Therefore, the sixth-order demigod needs to condense the power that transcends mortal things that he has created into mythical characteristics and seal it off.

The path of a sixth-order demigod, in addition to strengthening the body, soul, and self-will through the baptism of true rules, is more importantly about condensing, accepting, integrating, and controlling one's own 'myth'!

After being promoted to the sixth-rank demigod, the mythological characteristics that initially converge are chaotic and disordered, without any concrete form. They only have certain tendencies based on your journey. You need to constantly temper, forge, and polish them in this process to forge a path that truly belongs to you.

For Mellen, the easiest way is to follow the path of a certain dog directly. Because of the [Soul Synchrony], he can share perfectly with his own dog.

But this is not a good thing.

There are strong and distinct "personalities" between rules. They may be able to cooperate with each other, or rely on some special secret methods to be tightly woven, but they can never be integrated into one. Otherwise, there will be no things in the world, but eternal chaos.

This is especially true for myths that transcend the rules. If Melen leans towards the myth of a certain dog, then the essence of his power will inevitably become increasingly distant from that of other dogs, which does not seem to be in line with the path that [Wolf Tamer] wants to express.

Whether it is the initial [Soul Interaction] or the upgraded [Soul Synchrony], the emphasis is on unifying the power of all dogs.

But when he reached the sixth-order demigod stage...

The road is broken?! !

Or, are some of the most critical steps missing, resulting in a gap?

Therefore, Melen had been sorting out the extraordinary path he had taken, hoping to find some clues from it.

As a result, because he was too involved, he almost triggered the backlash of the mythical power that had not yet condensed. Fortunately, the [Wolf Tamer] anchor point played a role again and pulled back his gradually deviated mind.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the dogs surrounding him, worry in their eyes. It was obvious that the dogs had also sensed his previous condition.

Mellen looked a little weak, but his eyes were sparkling. Although the experience just now was dangerous, the state of understanding everything during the process was real. With the blessing of infinite spiritual light, he did see a path in a trance.

Mellen patted the dogs' heads and muttered to himself, "Before that, I still have to send these bad guests away, so as not to delay my promotion."

Hearing this, the dogs also looked outside the valley, and powerful auras were locked onto them.

Feeling this, the six semi-immortals who had been lurking quietly changed their expressions slightly, and no longer hid, and revealed their aura one after another.

His Highness Peng looked at Melen, who was surrounded by the dogs, and said solemnly, "It seems that we have underestimated you. You are only at the Crossing Realm, but you can tame and train so many semi-immortal monsters. It is no fluke that you can become a core disciple of Jinding Mountain!"

Venerable Ha snorted coldly, and said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense. Take him down. We have plenty of ways to make him confess all his secrets!"

After removing his disguise, Immortal Venerable Wushan's white hair and eyebrows gave him the appearance of a sage with a sagely demeanor. He said in a friendly manner, "My young friend, I am Wushan of the Changqing Immortal Sect. Since you are a disciple of Jinding Mountain, you are also closely related to my Changqing Immortal Sect. If you are willing, you can come to my Changqing Immortal Sect as a guest. I promise to avoid any disturbances from the outside world."

As soon as these words came out, His Highness Peng raised an eyebrow in displeasure, and Venerable He immediately cursed: "Old ghost Wushan, you are really talking nonsense. You people in the immortal sect are more cruel and ruthless than each other. If this kid entered your Changqing Immortal Sect, I'm afraid he would be gone in two days!"

Regarding the words of Venerable Ha, Immortal Venerable Wushan remained indifferent, treating them as a gentle breeze, and just waited for Melen's response.

Mellen sneered. The evil guests had come to his door, clearly intending to tear his tendons and skin him alive. Naturally, he didn't need to be nice to them anymore. He said, "Get out of my sight now, and I can still spare your lives. Otherwise, it will be too late."

His Highness Peng's eyes were stern, Venerable Ha sneered repeatedly, and Immortal Venerable Wushan suppressed his smile, sighed, and said, "Young friend is stubborn and has obviously fallen into the devil's way. He is also associating with the demon tribe. To avoid bringing shame to Jinding Mountain, our Changqing Immortal Sect has no choice but to show thundering means to discipline him."

Mellen has not met many people who habitually put themselves on the moral high ground along the way, which is quite interesting.

However, no matter how interesting it was, Mellen had no intention of engaging in a verbal argument with such a person. He did not want to drag the battle into a level that the other party was familiar with and then be defeated by the other party's rich experience.

There's no point talking as much as punching.

Sensing Mellen's thoughts, the dogs' eyes suddenly became fierce, and a powerful aura rushed into the sky, stirring up changes in the celestial phenomena.

Spike, Garuru, Xiao Liuli, Void Dog, Blackback, Calamity Wolf, six demigod dogs (Garuru was able to be promoted at any time, but had not yet been promoted to demigod, and only possessed demigod strength) respectively faced the six incoming semi-immortal warriors.

The dogs had no intention of probing, and every attack was a life-and-death fight, so the battle became intense from the start.

The disordered energy stirred the sky, and the chaotic aftermath tore the sky apart.

Nasus' eyes flashed as he looked at Melen, who nodded slightly.

Nasus no longer hesitated and disappeared in a flash.

At this moment, on the entire battlefield, the battle between the twelve powerful demigods and semi-immortals was like a hurricane that swept up to destroy everything, constantly expanding and spreading, as if to drag everything into the abyss of chaos, while the small valley below was like the eye of the hurricane, which was in a calm state.

Melen looked up at the sky through the only remaining gap, sitting quietly, not worried about the battle outside, as if waiting for something.

His Highness Peng was as swift as the wind and as agile as thunder. His clan had always been known for its speed, but at this moment his face was heavy, because no matter how he moved, the dog he was fighting with could always easily catch up with him.

No! That's not just speed or spatial force, but a power of another level!

Logically speaking, His Highness Peng's absolute strength is above Spike's, but Spike can control himself in a variety of ways. Not only is his speed far superior to the former, but any attack from the former is also a resource for him to make further progress.

The battle between the two sides was a one-sided crushing defeat.

The opponent of Lord Ha is Void Dog, and he also feels restrained during the battle.

Venerable Toad has the talent to devour and digest everything. When he was in the demon clan, he often devoured other demons in the same camp because of his greed. Later, he even set his sights on those powerful clans. This made the demon clan unhappy, and they issued a hunting order for him.

At that time, although Changshengxian and Ha Zunzun were both at the level of crossing my realm, the former's true strength was far superior to the latter's. Also, because the latter swallowed up a promising younger generation of the former, the two sides had a grudge.

When Venerable Ha barely escaped the pursuit of the Immortal Immortal and entered the territory of the Demon Clan, he was captured by a powerful demon not long after. Venerable Ha simply made up his mind and defected to the Demon Clan.

After that, Venerable Ha always held a grudge against Changshengxian, but as the latter's strength and power grew stronger and stronger, and he gradually reached the pinnacle of the demon clan, he could only swallow his anger.
