Snake Immortal: The Tale of a Snake’s Cultivation to Immortality
Chapter 773 - 722: Xu Hei exits the barrier
In the presence of Elder Mo, Jiang Liuyu reported truthfully, leaving nothing out.
"Additionally, there are eight perilous areas among the Seven Stars that the Star-Seeking Beast hasn't thoroughly investigated. These are minor details and can be ignored."
"With this, can Elder Mo be at ease?"
Jiang Liuyu retracted the crow, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Just five late Divine Transformation cultivators, and yet they were so cautious to use the Star-Seeking Beast. In the vast three thousand mortal realms, they were considered insignificant, and he alone could easily sweep them aside.
Elder Mo said, "Regarding the Guanghan Palace, the Jiang family's ancient texts also have some records. It's said to be an ascension passage temporarily opened by a certain clan for mortal realm cultivators, indicating that the Spiritual Power in this realm is depleted and can no longer allow for natural ascension, requiring external aid."
"Elder Mo's experience is truly admirable," Jiang Liuyu remarked with a smile.
Elder Mo nodded and said, "In that case, let's proceed according to the young master's plan."
Elder Mo bit the tip of his tongue, spitting out six streams of essence blood, which condensed in mid-air, transforming into six identical figures, clad in red robes, exuding an aura of supreme majesty.
Each clone's cultivation was comparable to the Great Perfection of the late Divine Transformation stage.
Subsequently, Elder Mo divided his divine sense, sending six soul fragments into the foreheads of the six clones, instantly giving them vitality.
The six figures moved simultaneously, leaving the battleship and teleporting towards the six stars, excluding the Dark Star, crossing a hundred thousand miles in a single step, traversing the Void with their physical bodies.
Though they carried no Magical Treasures, with the great Divine Abilities of the Spirit Realm, they could suppress any force.
Meanwhile, Elder Mo's true form and Jiang Liuyu boarded a spaceship, heading towards the Moon Star at the fastest speed.
…………
At the exit of the Yin and Yang lands, at the Formation site.
Three figures emerged from the center of the Formation, two men and one woman, all at the initial Divine Transformation stage.
One was clad in a blood robe, towering like a demon god, exuding a terrifying aura, an elder of the Blood Refining Sect.
The other two were a black-dressed woman from the Tianhen Sword Sect and a Formation master from the Yan Dao Sect.
"So it's Junior Brother Beiming, and fellow Daoists Black Butterfly and Yaoguang."
The Blood Refining Sect elder, Xue Fengzi, who was guarding the place, stood up and cupped his fists.
"Brother Xue Fengzi, you've worked hard. We are here for the opportunity as well, so there's no need to guard this place anymore. Join us," Beiming Lei said calmly.
"That would be great," Xue Fengzi sighed in relief.
He had been guarding this place for over a year, yet Xu Hei had not appeared.
Instead, the second and third teams they sent had arrived. With the route map sent back by the Flame Demon Ancestor, the Land of the Sun could now be safely traversed.
As for the Land of the Moon, although they had considered sending a team, the descriptions from predecessors about the sealed exit and the guardian monstrous tree were too daunting, and no one dared to attempt it, as Divine Transformation cultivators were extremely valuable.
"Hehe, the Ancestor's message said that once we pass the divine sense checkpoint, we can reach an ancient medicine garden, where the Spiritual Qi is more abundant than any spirit mountain among the Seven Stars. Cultivating there for a year is equivalent to decades outside, and many have reached bottlenecks, with some even obtaining a Divine Fusion Pill," Beiming Lei said with a smile.
"A Divine Fusion Pill, that can help break through the bottleneck of the Divine Transformation stage!" Xue Fengzi exclaimed.
"That's why we're so eager," Beiming Lei replied.
The four briefly discussed and were about to leave to tackle the next divine sense Formation.
Suddenly, the Yin and Yang Formation beside them began to ripple, indicating the arrival of another cultivator.
"Who?"
The four turned simultaneously, focusing on the Formation.
At this time, no one should be appearing, unless another sect had secretly sent someone in.
As they pondered, Xue Fengzi had already taken out the Formation disk, ready to activate the Formation at any moment, while the other three prepared for defense, their eyes flickering as they brought out their Magical Treasures.
Soon, a light laugh came from the Formation.
"The Divine Fusion Pill is quite tempting to me, Xu, as well. Why don't you all leave it to me?"
A young figure in a black robe emerged from the Formation, his palms open, with gray flames rising, exuding an overwhelming coldness that froze even the space around, chilling to the soul.
"Xu Hei?"
"Attack!"
As Xu Hei descended, Xue Fengzi and Beiming Lei reacted swiftly, attacking simultaneously. A mountain-shaped Magical Treasure appeared above Xu Hei's head, pressing down on him.
Simultaneously, the projections of three Formations appeared: a Gravity Formation, a Confinement Formation, and a Slaughter Formation.
Originally, six or seven Formations were set up here, but since Xu Hei hadn't appeared for a year, they had removed most to reduce depletion.
Now, these three Formations could trap and kill an average initial Divine Transformation cultivator, but against Xu Hei...
"Extreme Cold Ice Flame!"
Xu Hei pushed his palms forward, and the Lunar Mystic Fire surged outward, directly destroying the Formations. The killing aura that fell on him was easily blocked by his Rock Crystal Guardian and the transformed dragon scales, leaving him unscathed.
"Boom!!"
The black mountain pressed down, Beiming Lei's Magical Treasure, the Heavy Mountain Seal, capable of crushing an initial Divine Transformation cultivator to pieces, rendering them immobile.
Yet, Xu Hei's body remained unmoved.
"Something's wrong with this person!"
Beiming Lei's face changed drastically, immediately trying to communicate with the other two for assistance.
But in the blink of an eye, he saw a massive swarm of dense black shadows rushing towards him, the Spirit-Eating Ants army, numbering at least fifty thousand!
Witnessing this, the two were horrified, their hearts in turmoil, more terrified than seeing a ghost.
"Quick, use the Blood Shadow Escape!!"
Xue Fengzi shouted, and without hesitation, the two spat out essence blood, enveloping themselves in a cocoon of blood, then fiercely propelled themselves towards the divine sense Formation.
In an instant, the world darkened, and they seemed to hit an invisible wall, rebounding off the Night Demon Wings, followed by the endless buzzing sound.
"Insect Slaughter Formation!"
Xu Hei raised his hand, activating the insect-based slaughter Formation from the Heavenly Silkworm Scripture, unleashing a frenzy of biting and gnawing on the two. Within moments, the blood cocoons were devoured.
The Lunar Mystic Fire followed, encircling the two.
Such a shocking scene left the observing man and woman dumbfounded.
In just one encounter, the two initial Divine Transformation cultivators, joining forces against Xu Hei, ended up fleeing in disarray!
"Pop, pop, pop..."
Xue Fengzi's muscles swelled, forming small bulges. Under Xu Hei's divine sense observation, he noticed that Xue Fengzi's blood and Qi were concentrating towards his heart, which beat thousands of times in an instant, brewing a terrifying energy compressed to the extreme.
"Hmm?"
Xu Hei frowned slightly, immediately transforming the insect Formation into a defensive Formation, blocking the front. Simultaneously, he activated the Rock Crystal Guardian, reinforcing with layers of thick earthen walls.
