Chapter 583 Destruction

The fighting spirit in Spike's eyes slowly dissipated. Although he was belligerent, he was not brainless.

Looking at the relentless Kunpeng monster, Spike relied on his own authority to summon the fifth layer of fog, covering his body layer by layer.

By the time the great demon Kunpeng angrily dispersed the fog, Spike had disappeared and could only roar in impotence and rage.

The method used by Spike was naturally prepared in advance by Nasus and Xiaoyin. It was precisely because of this method that the demigod dogs were able to stir up trouble under the hands of the emperor-level strongmen.

Spike's sudden attack directly destroyed the arrangements made in this node for a month, but as long as the Grandmaster of Formation is intact, the arrangement of this node can still be restarted.

In fact, since there are so many powerful people in the four forces and they also carry a lot of background, it may not be necessary to wait until all nine nodes are arranged. It is just a matter of how much it consumes and whether it is worth it.

Because Spike had been exposed, the raid it launched had some success, but it could no longer shake the foundation like the first time.

However, because of this, the four forces were reluctant to consume too much of their underlying strength. Instead, they strengthened their defenses and waited for the node guarded by the great demon Kunpeng to be completed, which delayed the time by an extra month.

In the fourth month after the four forces entered the fifth level, the nine nodes were finally arranged.

As magnificent rays of light shot up into the sky from the nine nodes, the portal leading to the sixth floor was forcibly revealed and locked in the void.

A huge shadow of a divine sword appeared and slammed into the portal.

Amidst the rumbling sound of heaven and earth shaking, the divine sword shattered and cracks appeared on the portal.

Next came a pitch-black giant stick, a crimson feather, and a divine seal.

These four attacks all possess the power of a true immortal.

Under these attacks, the cracks in the portal leading to the sixth floor grew bigger and bigger, and finally exploded.

Emperor Huanglong, Demon Lord Haojie, Immortal Changsheng, and God Emperor Tianyu, the four most powerful semi-immortals came to the portal together and used their own power to imprison the portal to prevent the passage from healing.

The others from the four forces quickly passed through the passage.

After the last person passed through the passage, Emperor Huanglong and the other four entered together.

When the four forces saw the scene on the sixth floor, everyone fell silent, especially those examinees who had entered Jinding Mountain before.

On the sixth floor, the original dozen or so high towers disappeared, and the place was empty, giving off a somewhat desolate feeling.

You know, those tall towers are semi-immortal treasures, second only to immortal artifacts, and are even equivalent to the ancestral legacy of many people present.

However, the four forces had already anticipated this kind of scene.

There were not too many twists and turns on the sixth floor, and the four forces took only one day to open the portal to the seventh floor.

The seventh floor is where the top leaders of Jinding Mountain live. In the past, when Jinding Mountain was opened, this was also the final destination for many examinees.

But what broke the defense of the four forces was that after a day of exploration, they found that the seventh floor had also been completely emptied.

The portal to the eighth floor is in a very conspicuous position, but passing this level is not an easy task. After investigation by the formation masters, it was found that the portal is connected to at least two sect-protecting immortal artifacts. If one wants to break the door by force, it means destroying the two sect-protecting immortal artifacts.

The four forces did not hesitate for too long. By now, the cost of their silence was too great. They had to completely break through Jinding Mountain and obtain the inheritance and treasures within to stop the losses.

After a brief discussion, the formation master began to arrange a large formation around the portal. When the arrangement was completed, they would use the power of the formation to activate their foundation and destroy the portal to the eighth floor in one fell swoop.

A month passed in a flash, and the four forces were on full alert, but to their surprise, there was no interference in the process.

As the formation activated, the four shadowy images of immortal weapons that had appeared on the fifth floor once again revealed their power...

The golden sword, the pitch-black stick, the scarlet feathers, and the divine seal.

Four phantoms of immortal weapons took turns bombarding the portal leading to the eighth floor. Although the portal kept shaking, there was no sign of damage. Instead, golden light flowed, as if it was indestructible.

The powerful men from the four forces remained unmoved and increased their efforts to activate the magic weapons.

The Mountain and Sea Realm was created by two true immortals. After getting what they wanted, they disappeared, leaving behind only many disciples to inherit the Taoist tradition.

In the subsequent history of the Mountain and Sea Realm, most of these True Immortal disciples established their own sects.

In the long years that followed, some of them had clear records of death, while a very small number of them suddenly disappeared at some point, just like Jinding Mountain.

There are many different opinions about the latter in the Mountain and Sea Realm, but the most widely circulated one is that they have completed their merits and followed in the footsteps of the True Immortal of Creation to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

One of the evidences is the immortal artifact they left behind in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Whether or not there is a magical weapon guarding it has also become an important criterion for top forces.

Generally speaking, although a demigod can also activate an immortal weapon, it is only one tenth of the weapon's power. To unleash the full power of the immortal weapon, one needs to burn the demigod's life and soul.

The former is related to lifespan, and the latter is related to the possibility of further advancement. Both are of paramount importance to cultivators.

Now, the semi-immortal masters from the four forces take turns to activate the four immortal weapons. Even with the assistance of the formation, the consumption is extremely huge.

But the four forces are determined to break through the Mountain and Sea Realm and there is no possibility of giving up halfway.

Ten days later, the indestructible portal began to dim and cracks began to appear.

Twenty days later, the cracks gradually widened, and even light began to flow out of them, and its structure became increasingly unstable.

When the twenty-seventh day came, the portal that was already riddled with holes suddenly shattered, and violent spatial fluctuations erupted, blowing away some powerful men from the four forces who had not reacted in time.

The expert who was mobilizing the power of the immortal weapon was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flashed with brilliance and he shouted: "Break it! Break it!!"

The emperor-level strongmen who had been conserving their energy most of the time and only occasionally made a symbolic move once or twice slowly opened their eyes and looked towards the gate.

In the eighth floor.

Melen sat casually outside the golden hall, looking at the tripod and bell whose light had dimmed, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

If these two magical mountain-protecting artifacts could absorb his power, they would undoubtedly be able to hold out for a longer time and might even be able to starve the four external forces to death.

Unfortunately, after Nasus gained control of Golden Summit Mountain, Melen tried more than once.

The tripod and the bell can indeed receive power, but they can only receive the immortal power of Nasus and Spike. Although the two dogs are powerful, they are not worth mentioning compared to the consumption of the mountain-protecting immortal weapon.

Currently, the only thing Mellen has that can meet his consumption is the Little Red Lotus. Unfortunately, after the power of the sea of blood enters the cauldron and the bell, not only can it not be replenished, but it will also be treated as an abnormal power and be eliminated, which has the opposite effect.

Therefore, at a time when the outside world is still blocked, the two mountain-protecting magical artifacts, the tripod and the bell, are only able to go out but not come in, and naturally cannot last for too long.

When the portal to the eighth floor was blasted open, the tripod and bell also completely dimmed, without any more divine light or spiritual essence.

Melen looked in the direction of the portal and muttered to himself, "Has this reached its limit? But being able to hold off for this long is already beyond our expectations. Next, it's time for the real decisive battle, but..."

"The location of the decisive battle cannot be the opponent's home ground."

Melen looked at Nasus beside him and asked, "How is it, are you ready?"

Nasus nodded slightly, his expression calm.

Mellen chuckled and said, "Then, let's get started."

A surge of overwhelming energy rushed into the eighth floor, immediately locking onto Mellen in front of the golden hall.

Mellen said calmly, "Everyone, this is quite a big event."

The four forces did not take direct action, but instead surrounded the enemy while observing the surrounding environment to prevent any traps.

Apart from Melen, the thing that attracted their attention the most was undoubtedly the nine-tailed fox sleeping behind Melen.

The nine-tailed fox was seen to be shining with brilliant light all over its body, and it seemed to be interacting with the heaven and earth in some way.

Emperor Huanglong said in a deep voice: "Hunter, surrender! You have no chance!"

"Opportunity?" Mellen said meaningfully, "Opportunities are earned by oneself, not given by others."

Emperor Huanglong's pupils shrank slightly. He did not understand the meaning of Mellen's words, but this did not prevent a sense of alarm from suddenly rising in his heart.

at this time……

"Buzz!~"

The entire earth, or rather, the entire Jinding Mountain, suddenly shook. Driven by the huge volume, the heaven and earth were affected and began to shake slightly.

At this moment, not only Emperor Huanglong, but everyone present felt a great fear of facing life and death.

A formation master shouted in a strange, almost distorted voice, "No! The core formation of Jinding Mountain is twisting and rapidly deflecting. He... he's going to self-destruct Jinding Mountain!!"

"What?!!"

The formation masters who came to their senses used their own methods to investigate and finally concluded that Jinding Mountain had become extremely unstable and was indeed a sign of self-destruction.

Everyone looked at Mellen with horror, even Changshengxian and Huofengxian were no exception.

"Damn it! Is the hunter planning to drag us down with him?!"

"How is this possible? This is a true immortal temple!"

"There is no doubt that the hunter has mastered the core of the Jinding Mountain formation. He can indeed do this."

"Golden Summit Mountain's size is equivalent to the combined weight of several immortal artifacts. If it explodes, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"..."

Emperor Huanglong looked at Melen, who stood there smiling, and a pent-up anger rose in his heart. But in the end, his reason prevailed and he shouted, "Notify the outside world immediately and tell them to flee. The farther away, the better!"

"We too... retreat!"

The strong men took action one after another, each of them taking with them a group of elite soldiers and quickly fleeing from Jinding Mountain.

Mellen watched the four forces come and go, and had no intention of stopping them. After all, it was a treasure of the level of Jinding Mountain that exploded, and if he was involved in it, he would not end up well either.

Now that everyone is fleeing for their lives, the blockade of Jinding Mountain will naturally fall apart. With the authority he has, Melen can leave calmly.

Melen said, "This time, the Mountain and Sea Realm will really hate us to the core. Let's go."

Nasus nodded slightly, and a force of void enveloped everyone present. With a flash of space, they disappeared.

And the shaking on Jinding Mountain became more and more violent.

Outside Jinding Mountain, the elite troops from various forces who received the order immediately began to carry out the order after a brief period of chaos, and they retreated in an orderly manner.

However, this order was soon broken because they clearly felt that some bad changes were happening in Jinding Mountain. The formation masters who stayed outside to preside over the blockade formation changed their expressions drastically.

Cracks appeared on the Jinding Mountain, and from these cracks, golden light that could dissolve the void would occasionally burst out.

This time there was no need for anyone to remind them. Everyone gave up on order and started to use all possible means to escape desperately.

The strong ones could flash over a distance of several miles each time. The reason why they were so slow was mainly because this was the Taiyue Divine Mountain, which was subject to many suppressing rules. However, they still disappeared from sight very quickly.

As for those weaklings whose strength is only equivalent to that of legends, if they have a background, they can still rely on the support of their elders, but those who are left unattended can only fend for themselves.

The creatures originally living in the Taiyue Mountain also sensed the danger and began to flee in a hurry.

Once a bomb is thrown, it will not explode until the fuse burns out, let alone a treasure of the size of Jinding Mountain.

It takes more than ten minutes from starting the program to completely self-destructing.

When it was brewing to its limit, the entire Jinding Mountain shattered silently, and golden light spread, soft and peaceful.

The big sound is loud, the elephant is invisible.

This sentence is the most appropriate to describe the scene at this moment.

Seen from a very far distance, golden light rises, as if there is an extra sun between heaven and earth. Wherever the light shines, all things melt away, and the heaven and earth are eclipsed.

The world seemed to have turned into a slow-motion shot from ancient times, with frames getting stuck one by one.

After an unknown amount of time, the light faded away and everything slowly returned to normal.

At this time, the Taiyue Mountain, which stretched for tens of millions of miles from north to south, was cut in half. One third of it disappeared, leaving only a bottomless abyss.

In the vast area above the abyss, it seems calm and normal, but in fact the rules of destruction have been imprinted in the void. Any existence below the level of semi-immortal will be directly annihilated by these chaotic and disordered rules of destruction if they just get close. Even a semi-immortal powerhouse cannot persist for too long, let alone go deep into it.

It can be said that from this moment on, Taiyue Mountain is no longer a treasure land for tempering the body, but a real Jedi and dangerous place.

When the four forces reunited, looking at the embarrassment on everyone's faces, even a half-immortal couldn't help feeling a little sad.

The four forces joined forces to slay the evil, and there were ten peak-level semi-immortals gathered, more than fifty ordinary semi-immortals, thousands of those in the True Self Realm (saints), and millions of others in the True Self Realm.

These are all elites from all sides, and any one of them can earn the title of genius if released individually.

But now, the team that entered Jinding Mountain has lost two to three tenths of its members, even two semi-immortals have died, and millions of people who have crossed the realm of truth have been almost wiped out. Those who have managed to survive are basically protected by their elders.

It can be said that the losses were heavy!

Chapter 584

After such a devastating defeat, it stands to reason that even if the remaining people from the four factions are determined, some of them will back down.

However, at this moment, everyone's eyes looking towards the Taiyue Sacred Mountain were filled with a determination to share a common hatred for the enemy, as if they were willing to avenge their companions even at the cost of their own lives.

Looking at this scene, even Changshengxian, who was also angry about Mellen's actions, felt a chill in his heart, as if he instinctively realized that something was wrong, but soon, this feeling disappeared silently.

The Lord of Catastrophe said in a deep voice, "Everyone says that we demons are cruel and vicious, but compared to this hunter, even the most brutal demons are not even a fraction as cruel as him!"
