Chapter 184: Chapter 184: White Elephant Trampling Mountain Array
Translator: 549690339
The old man and woman rushing towards the mountain top suddenly looked up, and their faces turned extremely pale in an instant.
Especially the woman, who turned deathly pale and her body shuddered like she had lost her soul.
“The White Elephant Trampling Mountain Array has been activated The woman said in disbelief, almost collapsing to the ground with her body swaying.
The old man remained silent, his fists clenched tightly.
“No! This belongs to me! No one can take it away!” The next moment, like a madwoman, the woman ran towards the mountain top with all her might.
The old man followed closely behind, feeling a sinister premonition.
At the top of the mountain, the gigantic elephant bathed in a radiant light appeared like a colossal pillar supporting the heavens, its terrifying power overwhelming everything around.
The disciples of the Pill Sect and Dugu Nian were all dumbstruck, looking in
awe at the elephant that rivalled the size of a mountain.
The men in black could only look terrified and remained frozen in place.
Fang Lin was the calmest among them. However, his calm was only surface deep, as he was experiencing significant fluctuations.
He didn’t expect the power within the stone statue to be so terrifying, even him, a Pill Sovereign with vast experiences from his past life, was taken aback.
Upon the emergence of the white elephant, citizens from a thousand miles away could all look up and see it. Immediately, people on both sides of the
Linjiang River knelt and bowed, praying to the divine elephant for protection.
The martial artists closest to the White Elephant Mountain from the Purple Mist Sect, upon witnessing this shocking sight, immediately inferred that something major had happened and rushed towards the White Elephant Mountain.
Across the river from White Elephant Mountain, on Green Lion Mountain, a faint roar of a lion reverberated after the appearance of the white elephant, causing the river to flood.
Many men in black were gathered on the mountain peak. The leader, with his hawk like eyes, fixated on the elephant in the sky.
Suddenly, the leader’s pupils constricted and he shouted, “Retreat quickly!”
However, as soon as his words left his lips, the elephant roared, lifting its enormous foot and fiercely stomping down.
It all happened within the blink of an eye, the gigantic foot had already landed on the White Elephant Mountain.
Some of the men in black reacted quickly, managing to escape from the mountain peak at the very moment the elephant’s foot slammed down. However, many others were not so fortunate. The moment the foot descended, they were crushed, blood spraying out as their bodies crumbled like rocks.
Instantly, the men in black, who were previously imposing and threatening, were now spread out all over the place, many with their skulls crushed and blood and flesh scattered everywhere, filling the air with the stench of blood.
The leader of the men in black reacted swiftly, barely escaping with his life.
Looking back at the sight, a field of corpses, his eyes nearly pulsed with rage.
“Damn it!” The leader cursed angrily. When he looked at the group near the statue, especially the ringleader Fang Lin, his eyes were filled with hatred.
Fang Lin and the others were not attacked by the elephant. The stone statue released a soft white light that enveloped them, shielding them from the elephant’s onslaught.
Dugu Nian and the disciples of the Pill Sect looked at Fang Lin in astonishment. Fang Lin, with his calm demeanor, spoke. “There is an ancient array inside this statue, which I have mastered. As long as we stand here, no one can hurt us.”
Although they had many questions, the Pill Sect disciples felt more relief and joy that they had survived the ordeal.
Dugu Nian blurted out, “I asked you what you were doing here every day, and you wouldn’t say. You were being mysterious, but now we know.”
Fang Lin didn’t bother to respond to the crazy girl. At a time like this, she was still talking pointless nonsense.
At this moment, the old man and woman had reached the top of the mountain, and were immediately greeted by the sight of countless bodies and the overwhelming stench of blood.
The woman stared at the stone statue and then looked up at the white elephant towering above the Nine Heavens, her face filled with both pain and disbelief.
The old man too, had not expected that the array within the statue could be activated by someone else, which he thought was impossible.
Fang Lin recognized the woman at a glance. She was the one who had fought against him earlier. Given the current situation, Fang Lin could basically determine that these men in black were likely connected to this woman.
It might even have been this woman who instigated the men in black to take action.
However, very quickly, Fang Lin’s gaze turned from the woman to the old man. “Above the Heavenly Origin realm!” Fang Lin’s heart skipped a beat. This old
man seemed to be on his last legs, as if a push would shatter him into pieces. Yet, from this seemingly dying old man, emerged a faint aura of a powerful expert in the Heavenly Origin realm.
Normally, once one reaches the Heavenly Origin realm, they could essentially keep their power concealed. Unless they chose to reveal their aura, it would be impossible to discern their true level.
However, this old man was simply too old, and his life force was nearly extinguished. His decaying body made it impossible for him to control his aura, causing some of it to leak out.
Fang Lin, using that trace of aura emanating from the old man, deduced that despite the old man’s appearance, his cultivation level was incredibly high.
The old man seemed to notice Fang Lin’s scrutiny and turned his gaze onto him too. His old and murky eyes seemed to see right through Fang Lin.
Of course, this was just Fang Lin’s illusion.
The old man merely glanced at the Second Cauldron Pill Refiner badge on Fang Lin’s chest a bit longer before withdrawing his gaze.
Simultaneously, the gigantic elephant in the sky lifted its foot again.
“This is bad!” The old man, aghast, grabbed the woman who had gone into a stupor and fled the mountain top immediately.
Boom!!!
Another loud noise, several men in black, who were slow to react, were instantly crushed to death.
Seeing almost all his men killed, and the remaining ones too terrified to step foot on the mountain top again, the leader of the men in black was both furious and frustrated.
“Elder Gu, you must give me an explanation for this! Why didn’t you inform us of such a high risk beforehand?” The leader of the men in black demanded angrily, staring at the old man.
Elder Gu’s expression was complicated. He looked at the leader of the men in black and shook his head, “I will give you an explanation after this is over.”
The leader of the men in black huffed and seemed to be somewhat in fear of Elder Gu. He decided not to say anything more.
However, the woman let out a piercing scream, as if something precious had been taken from her.
“The White Elephant Trampling Mountain Array has been invoked, which means that the martial arts inside the statue have been acquired by someone. We were a step too late. It’s really destiny playing its tricks.” The old man sighed deeply, equally regretful..
