"Heard this General has a Divine Skill, a third eye on his forehead, capable of emitting Infinite Golden Light. Evil spirits cannot escape, killed countless demons, the rumor is, this is the Divine Heavenly Eye Power, upon reaching Great Success, can penetrate heaven and earth, abilities so astounding that it’s shocking..."
Liu, the housekeeper, vividly described to Jin Taiyuan about the Third Eye between the eyebrows of the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel, having vast Divine Skills, witnessed by many in Jingguan City during his display, as if a Heavenly God is enraged, the rumor suggests, depicted in folk tales and novels, capable of everything.
Liu’s eye corner then twitched, eyes suddenly widened, pointing towards the southwest direction, lips stuttering incessantly.
In the front, a few miles ahead of the six horses, under grey skies shrouded in wind and snow, suddenly the sky opened up, a beam of golden light, like sun piercing through the clouds, enveloped the six horses.
Following that, the surge of Spirit Light chasing the escort team was also hit by the golden light, and within an instant, several beams of Spirit Light were paused like a pause button, then dispersed like the melting of the fierce sun.
Then, six horses neighed long and loud, manes flowing like clouds, hooves raised high, stepping on the golden path, ascending into the void, as if being led to the heavenly realm.
Above the sky, golden light piercingly clear, clouds tumbling, flags flapping, Armor Light shimmering, standing atop the clouds.
The Ninth Mountain Banner lifted high in the air!
In the very front, Chen Yuan, clad in silver armor, with a black wind cloak, vertical eyes on his brow, golden light circling, clearly piercing through the snow below him.
Beside him, General Yun Tiansheng and Military Gao Yu, with glinting eyes, sternly surveyed the ground below, and behind them were hundreds of Ninth Mountain’s Black Armor, armored and sharp.
This scene caused the shadows of various factions chasing behind to lose color in shock, whether their postures were elegant or their momentum fierce, at this moment everyone was like startled birds, without a second word, their figures dramatically retreated, utilizing Divine Skills, burrowing into the ground, flying into the sky, escaping the scene with utmost speed.
In the eyes of the commoners, the reputation of Ninth Mountain’s Colonel is like the rising sun, but in their eyes, he is a ruthless murderer, his hands stained with blood, the Hell King Chen!
High above, Chen Yuan watched the roads of dust dissipate below, didn’t utter a word, just lifted his hand slightly, fingers motioning forward.
The next second,
"Swoosh"
"Swish"
"Swish"
The sound of blades sweeping out of their scabbards burst forth, resonating through the sky.
Beside him, Yun Tiansheng drew his long blade, swung it forward,
"Kill!"
As he spoke, the lackluster red-haired monkey squatting at his feet immediately jolted, its pitch-black eyes turning scarlet, its sharp teeth snapping forward as it leapt into the void ahead, its red fur casting a bloody radiance, body swelling massively.
"Roar"
A thunderous roar vibrated the heavens!
A Giant Ape towering over twenty meters beat its chest!
And then, Yun Tiansheng leaped into the air, landed on this Bingxie mount’s head, following which he rode the Demon Cloud, charging forward.
Immediately thereafter, behind him, a series of Small mountain-cutting banners fluttered in the air, iron armors clashing, marching upon the flags, like floodgates opening, a torrent of Iron Armor surged out from both sides of Chen Yuan, battle cries shaking the heavens.
"Kill!"
Chen Yuan stood amidst them, immovable, the surrounding Black Armor swirling around him like a slideshow, quickly leaving him alone.
At this moment, the six horses being led upwards arrived, stepping across the sky above the clouds before Chen Yuan, then dismounted and knelt on one knee, saluting.
"Your subordinate greets the General!"
"The General’s divine speed, otherwise, those thieves would have succeeded."
"What happened?"
Chen Yuan’s vertical eye on his brow slowly closed, glanced at the distant heaven and earth, black smoke rolling intermixed with scarlet light, then lowered his head, looking at the six men being chased.
Just now, leveraging the Dragon Qi from the Northern Sea Dragon Girl to incite the Mother Tree on Ninth Mountain, his body’s Dragon Qi Mother Tree suddenly sensed a slight change in the heavenly and earthly Essence Qi, thus opened his Dharma Eye between his brows, scanning in all directions, and then he spotted the General Mountain’s direction in the Sky Dome, noticing intense Fire Essence Qi illuminating, guessed there might be trouble at General Mountain, as he had been paying close attention to these matters, Gao Yu, two hundred miles away at General Mountain had reported significant anomalies before.
Therefore, he immediately led his troops over, witnessing the scene before him!
Upon finishing his explanation, right then, the Colonel Niu Bing took out a small box, sealed meticulously with Paper Talisman, and presented it with both hands.
"General, please have a look!"
"About thirty minutes ago, our troops secured General Mountain which suddenly underwent another strange occurrence, a volcanic eruption, the sky and the ground split open, pure Scarlet Crystal Stone erupted out, just when I was yet to rejoice, a big red bird burst out from the volcanic crater....."
Niu Bing narrated the events.
Meanwhile, Chen Yuan’s eyes turned deep, the golden lights formed tiny dots, examining the crude wooden box, amidst the golden light interplay, a dazzling and loosely colorful fiery-red Wutong Leaf appeared in his field of vision, this moment his eyes blazed with light.
Even with Talisman sealing the box, it still couldn’t contain the rich Essence Qi escaping.
He grabbed with his hand, the box together with the paper talisman instantaneously shattered, a brilliant flicker of firelight flew out, Chen Yuan pinched it with two fingers, the Wutong Leaf appearing between his fingers.
Hot as iron, touches like jade, the fiery glow magnificent, distinctly extraordinary.
Being the possessor of the Dragon Qi Mother Tree, Chen Yuan instantly recognized it, this could be a leaf fallen from the Luck Spirit Root!
His eyes greatly shook.
Another Luck Spirit Root has descended!
Moreover, from his subordinate Colonel’s description, the enormous Fire Bird resembled the Heaven and Earth True Spirit Fire Phoenix, not a living creature, when it appeared, the Essence Qi of heaven and earth boiled like fire, very similar to what he encountered when meeting the Dragon Qi Mother Tree.
Listening to the first part, his eyes flickered, wanting to know where this thing was now, but hearing the last part, the "Fire Phoenix" disappearing after they only managed to shoot down a Fire Feather, his face couldn’t help but twitch.
That Fire Feather ultimately turned into the Wutong Leaf, now in his hand.
However, Chen Yuan quickly adjusted his mood. From the two "death calamities" he experienced, he understood the scarce degree of the Luck Spirit Root. This thing was coveted by countless Martial Arts Practitioners and powers, with even the Dragon Breeding Clan and the Northern Sea Dragon Girl coming over to get a share.
Where could it be so easy to obtain!
Moreover, according to the descriptions from his subordinates, even hundreds of troops cooperating under blockade could only cut off a feather; this indicated that the maturity of this Luck Spirit Root might be higher than his own Dragon Qi Mother Tree.
He twirled a fiery red wutong leaf between his fingers, his mind rapidly churning, deciding not to stop for even a moment in searching for this thing’s whereabouts.
Initially, the Dragon Qi Mother Tree could move on its own.
He must expand the search range!
He lifted his gaze, looked ahead indifferently, "You obtained this thing, and they saw it too? Then they pursued to kill you?"
"Yes!"
Chen Yuan didn’t say much, only a gust of fierce wind arose beneath him, and the void exploded with an immensely sharp roar; his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Soon after, streaks of golden light from high above, like doomsday beams, flew toward the figures ahead, like cannons firing at mosquitoes.
"Ah"
"Ah"
"Boom"
"....."
Screams echoed, dissipating into the golden light.
A few breaths later, ten miles away, Chen Yuan heading towards General Mountain suddenly stopped on a green-feathered strange bird caught in the golden light.
There was a group of master and servant.
Jin Taiyuan and Housekeeper Liu!
At this moment, seeing the murderous god Chen Yuan, Housekeeper Liu was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he immediately kneeled down,
"Lowly...lowly one... greets the General!"
While Jin Taiyuan’s expression changed, but he forcefully steadied his expression, his face shimmering with a gloomy look, his hands wanting to rise in greeting but not willing to bow down due to his status, the struggle and obstinance were evident on his face, only able to gruffly state, "I am Jin Taiyuan, a Guest Doctor under the Royal Beiliang Mansion. The two of us merely passed by this place, please do not misjudge, sir. My Prince is about to..."
He spoke of their identities and the Prince, seeing Chen Yuan easily killing several Heavenly Pass Presences, bringing out his identity and the Heir, but the hurried tone betrayed his panic.
However, before he could finish speaking, Chen Yuan’s expression was indifferent, he raised his hand and a gust of powerful energy whistled fiercely cutting him off, heading straight for his Dantian.
Jin Taiyuan’s face changed drastically, his body wanted to move, but was fixed by the golden light, and he couldn’t help but roar out loud,
"Ninth Mountain’s Colonel, how dare you!"
The next second, the powerful energy harshly drilled into his Dantian. This man twisted in pain, his face turning pale as a sheet, his entire Essence Qi draining away like air from a deflated ball, collapsing onto the strange bird.
Chen Yuan snorted and glanced down disdainfully,
"What are you even considered to be!"
"This place is Jingguan City, not Liangzhou. I spared you not to kill you, just to give some face to your Family Head, telling that Heir to well discipline people like you."
After speaking, Chen Yuan coldly glanced once more, his body shook, transforming into a beam of golden light, shooting towards General Mountain.
Meanwhile, the left-behind Jin Taiyuan at this moment felt more miserable than death itself, with his Dantian shattered, all his Cultivation lost, the severe pain contorting his face savagely, uttering painful screams, he lay on the back of the strange bird, unable to muster any strength, unable even to crawl.
From being a mighty Heavenly Pass Expert who could roar across the heavens and earth to suddenly becoming a cripple, this fall from paradise to hell made him grind his teeth in rage.
"Quick, help me up!"
He bellowed at Housekeeper Liu kneeling beside him, reaching out to grab his clothes.
And with this pull, the kneeling Housekeeper Liu collapsed, lying on top of him, his eyes wide with terror, breathless.
He had died without anyone noticing!
Damn it!
Damn it!
At this moment, Jin Taiyuan finally felt an overwhelming fear engulf him, as the golden light faded, he desperately commanded his mount, heading southwards.
And as Chen Yuan sped towards General Mountain after casually slaying several Heavenly Pass presences that had just shown themselves, he arrived at General Mountain without stopping.
At this moment, the twenty-mile radius around General Mountain was filled with thick smoke, the land riddled with scars.
The blazing magma, like rivers of fire, scorched everything.
Inside General Mountain, at this moment, there were sounds of fighting, shouting; many people, lacking enough power to pursue the Six Military Officers, had rushed into General Mountain because here pure Scarlet Crystal Stones erupted, these stones being extremely valuable to ordinary Martial Arts Practitioners.
Following that, a mad howl across the sky.
Chen Yuan flew right above General Mountain, now transformed into a volcano!
His eyes emitting golden light, Divine Light intimidating, he surveyed all around, his imposing aura rolling forth.
A series of shocked and frightened cries ensued, making quick exits upon contact.
Chen Yuan then immediately turned his gaze downward, to the fiery red magma boiling in the volcano’s crater below.
The terrifying high temperatures blurred even the empty space, unbearable for ordinary Heavenly Pass powers.
