Chapter 685: Chapter 685: Conversation between the Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable and the Lord of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone
“I understand now, the problem lies with that massive axe!”
“Before his death, Xuan Zhong was murmuring lowly, asking Ye Feng how he could find his weakness.”
“I believe, Xuan Zhong’s true form was concealed within the axe, and what we have bombarded countless times was nothing more than his External Incarnation!”
The top Heavenly Emperors from various major forces exchanged words, quickly analyzing the truth.
“Indeed, that’s exactly it!” Ye Feng nodded, “You were all prejudiced, mistaking the External Incarnation that could absorb the power of comrades to enhance its Cultivation Level for the true form, naturally overlooking this fact.”
“After you stepped into the misunderstanding, you always believed Xuan Zhong had an Undying Body, but in reality, he did not.”
“Xuan Zhong entrusted his Primordial Spirit in the axe, covering it with a special Formation, making it difficult to notice.”
“The axe, by absorbing the Power of the Crimson Moon, continuously condensed the External Incarnation, and as long as the axe was not destroyed, he would not perish.”
“And the reason I did not make a move earlier was to observe Xuan Zhong’s weakness, and successfully spot the flaw.”
“Three punches shattered Xuan Zhong’s Primordial Spirit, and naturally, he fell.”
Ye Feng explained.
“So that’s how it is.” Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, feeling that they had been too careless before, having overlooked this point.
“Ye Feng, I admit you are formidable!”
Xiao Cangtian stared at Ye Feng with heavy breathing, feeling that he was becoming more and more inscrutable, and growing more wary in his heart.
In the depths of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone.
There, a graceful figure crossed her fingers and placed them on her lower abdomen, appearing very relaxed.
“It seems, among this group of Shenzhou’s chosen ones, there has emerged a top exceptional talent capable of sweeping the Celestial Clan. Very good, very good indeed!”
Having said that, her figure became even more ethereal.
As if, she would completely dissipate.
Raising her head to look at the sky, the Lord of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone seemed to meet a cold and piercing gaze.
From it, she saw endless murderous intent.
“You want to kill me?”
“Hah, no chance!”
“But, when we return from the Outer Realm, we shall cut you down!”
The Lord of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone faced that gaze filled with murderous intent without a hint of fear in her heart.
“Once I leave my seclusion, slaughtering you will be as easy as flipping my hand!”
That cold gaze conveyed ancient consciousness waves.
Whoosh!
The void around the Lord of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone was torn apart by the consciousness waves, but quickly, a strange Power of Heaven and Earth emerged, offsetting the ancient consciousness waves and making the eyes of its owner even colder.
“Damn it!”
“Even though I risked a serious injury to my vital energy to erase the Heavenly Dao’s Will of this world, why is there still lingering will interfering?”
The owner of the cold gaze was very angry.
The Lord of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone laughed, “Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable, do you really think that the Heavenly Dao of a Great Thousand World is so easily destroyed? The so-called Heavenly Dao can be said to be the collective consciousness of the entire world, and as long as the Shenzhou Continent exists, the Heavenly Dao will live on!”
“You… can’t kill it!”
“Better give up on that idea early!”
“Once I and the other Dao friends return from conquering the Outer Realm, we shall join forces to invade Suspended Mountain and cut down you!”
The Lord of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone stood with her hands behind her back, her eyes very cold.
“Arrogant!” the Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable bellowed.
However, as time passed, the consciousness waves he released were crushed by the Power of Heaven and Earth, and soon completely dissipated.
“Whew! Finally gone!”
Long after, the Lord of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone let out a sigh of relief.
No one knew that within the Tenth of the Ten Great Mountain Ranges, “Suspended Mountain,” the Celestial Clan lay hidden.
Especially the terrifying Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable, who was the top contender within Suspended Mountain.
Had this person not suffered a grave injury, with him alone, he would have been more than enough to sweep across all the Ancient Saints of the major forces on the Shenzhou Continent.
“For now, the Shenzhou Continent can only rely on you all.”
The Lord of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone sighed softly, regarding Ye Feng and the others as hope.
“However, I only hope no one assembles the Heavenly Stele Fragments; otherwise, if Suspended Mountain is opened ahead of time, it would spell great trouble.”
Having spoken, the figure of the Lord of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone completely vanished.
If she knew that Ye Feng possessed three Heavenly Stele Fragments, she would surely not be so composed in her heart.
Ten billion li away.
Above the sky of Du City of the Nine Swords Empire.
Gurgle!
The Nine Swords Quasi-Saint looked at Ye Feng and suddenly swallowed hard.
He could tell that Xuan Zhong was a Second Turn Quasi-Saint with terrifying strength. It was one thing for him to be shattered by the joint hands of dozens of top Heavenly Emperors and Quasi-Saints, but why could Ye Feng also erase him?
Didn’t this mean that Ye Feng was capable of killing a Second Turn Quasi-Saint?
Terrifying!
Horrifying!
Not human!
The Nine Swords Quasi-Saint watched Ye Feng with a heart full of dread.
Ye Feng sensed something and turned his head towards the Nine Swords Quasi-Saint, their gazes meeting by chance.
Whoosh!
“My ancestors!” The Nine Swords Quasi-Saint, upon meeting Ye Feng’s gaze, hurriedly lowered his head and bowed with his hands clasped, “That… Thank you all, fellow Daoists, for stepping forward. Without your help, our Nine Swords Empire might have been eradicated by that mysterious Quasi-Saint.”
“You’re overthinking it. I’m not interested in the life or death of your Nine Swords Empire,” Xiao Cangtian snorted coldly.
At these words, the Nine Swords Quasi-Saint’s face flushed with embarrassment.
“This battle should be over by now. Shall we continue back to the Cangqing Ancient Tower and enjoy the banquet?” Xiao Cangtian looked around.
“Not this time.”
“Maybe next time!”
“I think we should check out that teleportation portal to make sure no Celestial Clan powerhouses are causing trouble outside.”
After this battle, everyone had lost the appetite for food.
“It’s safer to check the portal in the Forbidden Area.” Ye Feng also wanted to see it.
“Then let’s go!”
Xiao Cangtian turned and left.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
The dozens of top powerhouses present disappeared in an instant, leaving the Nine Swords Quasi-Saint behind, unsure of what to say.
“I’ll go take a look too!”
After gritting his teeth, the Nine Swords Quasi-Saint followed as well.
Cangqing Forbidden Zone.
The crowd looked down at a stretch of ruins, where they could see a huge crimson portal at the center, covered with countless runes, ancient and wild.
It used the unique script of the Celestial Clan.
Most people couldn’t understand it at all.
[Name: Crimson Moon Gate]
[Grade: Four Star Transcendent Spirit Treasure]
[Note: A teleportation gate connecting the Shenzhou Continent and the Suspended Mountain, blessed by the Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable, indomitable, with automatic defense measures, and formidable power]
Ye Feng habitually read the information.
Then, he froze in place.
“Suspended Mountain?!”
Ye Feng blinked, unsure of what to say.
“System, what’s going on here?”
He couldn’t help but question the System.
“What it says!” The System explained only briefly, but it contained a lot of information.
Ye Feng thought for a moment, then understood.
“It seems the Suspended Mountain harbors the Celestial Clan.”
“And I possess the Heavenly Stele. If I were to open the passage to the Suspended Mountain, wouldn’t that amount to unleashing the Celestial Clan?”
“This won’t do at all!”
Ye Feng became increasingly worried.
“Everyone, let’s destroy this thing!” Xiao Cangtian suddenly shouted, transforming into a Golden Dragon, lashing out with his tail, striking the Crimson Moon Gate, trying to blast it apart.
“Ah, this guy is at it again with his flamboyant death wish!” Ye Feng covered his face with his hand, not wanting to watch what happened next.
Bang!
Just when Xiao Cangtian’s tail lashed out just above the Crimson Moon Gate, it was severed by a surge of Power of the Crimson Moon. He was sent flying backward, crashing into the ground.
“Wow!”
Xiao Cangtian spat out blood profusely, his face pale.
“This portal has a strong repelling force, automatically protecting itself. Whoever tries to attack it will be slain!” Wu Xuan, son of the Supreme Heaven Forbidden Zone Master, said gravely.
“Cough, cough, cough… That was rash of me,” Xiao Cangtian spat out more blood and humbly reattached his tail.
“This thing is a Four Star Transcendent Spirit Treasure, with its own defensive formation. You attacked recklessly, looking for death,” Ye Feng said, arms crossed, with a laugh.
His words immediately drew the attention of everyone present.
