Ning Yi was overjoyed. If he knew there was such a powerful soul, he would think of ways to kill and capture it, even if he hadn’t been asked to! This was a temptation he could not resist!
He was really lucky today!
Without another word, he leapt at Wei Sheng!
———
Yuan Xin’s eyes were lightly locked onto that bright golden light. The vast dhyana essence exuded through that light caused shock in him, and also his eyes to become red!
He came from a small sect, and the [Skanda Staff Scripture] was something he had accidentally stumbled on in a cave. He was endowed with great talent, and the [Skanda Staff Scripture] was like adding wings to a tiger. His cultivation increased by the day and he gradually entered the ranks of experts. He had used great effort after becoming jindan to gather all types of materials to forge this Skanda Staff in his hand.
Yet when he saw the other’s pure dhyana essence, he still could not stop his eyes from turning red!
What the other cultivated was definitely an extremely profound dhyana scripture, one even more profound than his [Skanda Staff Scripture]! He had completely studied the [Skanda Staff Scripture] and it was unable to help him improve any longer! It could help him become jindan but could not help him cultivate into yuanying!
His fingers tightly gripped the Skanda staff. Because he was gripping with too much force, his fingers were white!
No matter what, he had to take this dhyana scripture!
Only better dhyana scriptures could help him become yuanying!
The Skanda Staff in his hand suddenly paused and the copper rings hummed in unison. Among the Buddhist chanting was murderous intent!
A divine light was discernible on Yuan Xin’s face as he strode directly at Zong Ru!

As the Flame Seal Armor appeared, Zuo Mo felt the pressure instantly decrease. The Great Day Banded Flame was as powerful as expected and he released a breath.
But he still had no idea how to defeat this Five Element Fog Shield! This Five Element Fog Shield had all five elements, was full of variations, and the other’s forging abilities were clearly high so there were likely many hidden abilities that he had not anticipated.
[Bone-Crushing Obscuring Flash] was proven to be ineffective which meant that the fog in front of him was not an illusion.
Then what was it?
Suddenly recalling the formation power he had just detected, Zuo Mo shook. Did this Five Element Fog Shield contain formation-like changes?
The more he thought, the more likely it seemed.
The five elements enhanced and subdued each other. In formation, there were countless methods that used the five elements. The fog was also intangible and could change shape as one willed. In terms of formations, it could add many variations.
If that was the case, then this was really a big headache!
With a slight investigation using his consciousness, Zuo Mo’s expression instantly became even uglier. The five types of fog seemed to be mixed together casually but it hid an undecipherable pattern. And the other had used a secret method that caused these five types of fog to remain separate at times, or to merge together in unpredictable changes.
Thinking about how the Great Day Banded Flame had just burned the fog, Zuo Mo’s eyes lit up. Maybe he could use the Great Day Banded Flame!
The flame on his body burst out again. He charged towards the thickest part of the fog and heard hissing!
“The flame isn’t bad! Pity that you are lacking! It is delusion to think you can defeat my Five Element Fog Shield with just this kind of move!” Gu Ming Gong’s cold voice came. He clearly was angry now! He had relaxed his guard momentarily and his Five Element Fog Shield had been slightly damaged. He treasured this talismans and would feel great pain at any bit of damage.
Zuo Mo felt the scenery change and the five color fog around him became red fog! This kind of fog was red like fire and moved like sharks, that smelt blood, furiously rushing at Zuo Mo!
Before he could react, a suction force came and the Great Day Banded Flame began to leave his body!
Zuo Mo was astounded!
The red fog around the Great Day Banded Flame was so thick it was almost tangible. The attractive force had come from the red fog!
Fire Element Fog!
A formation!
Zuo Mo suddenly reacted and took back the Great Day Banded Flame. It had just been a moment, and half of his Great Day Banded Flame was gone! The fire element fog that absorbed the Great Day Banded Flame!
Zuo Mo was both shocked and felt pain in his heart!
Such a powerful fog! Such a powerful formation!
The other was so skilled it surpassed Zuo Mo’s imagination. The other was able to set up a fire-absorbing formation with the fog. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the fire element fog was, it could not absorb so much Great Day Banded Flame in such a short amount of time!
He finally tasted the power of the other. As expected of the [Seal Immortal]! Before, Zuo Mo had put all his thoughts on Ning Yi and did not pay any attention on the other two. Now he understood that those with great fame were never insubstantial!
Having rampaged in Blood Sky Metropolis Jie, Zuo Mo had never expected that he would be continuously set back when he entered Cloud Sea jie. This time, he found that he was once again put in a state of life and death, and he found he actually had no solutions. Last time, when he had been caught in the Thousand Gem Illusory Disk, the black gold seal soldier of Gu Xiang Tian had been great trouble for him and he almost died.
Wait!
Black gold seal soldier!
A light flashed through Zuo Mo’s eyes. But thinking about that guy’s wretched and lazy appearance, he felt this idea was unreliable!
But he really had no other solutions that he could think of at this time. The Great Day mo physique was powerful and few were a match, but the opponent’s moves were countered and subdued the Great Day mo physique.
Other than this, he still had a killing move, [Archaic Wasteland Sacrificial Art]. While this move was extremely powerful, it expended a great amount of ling power. If it was not at death’s door, he definitely did not dare to use it!
Without another words, he took out the black gold seal paper and channeled ling power.
No response!
Thinking about the scene last time, the corners of Zuo Mo’s eyes jerked. Did this guy have to be hit to come out!
Pia!
He suddenly hit the paper seal on his hand.
“Born to battle.”
The lazy and drowsy voice sounded again. The black gold seal soldier appeared in front of Zuo Mo. Looking at the dark golden features that were the same as his, even in such a dangerous situation, Zuo Mo felt his mind turn to a mess!
Heavens, why did he put his hopes on such an unreliable person?
Alright, since called one out, then he would let them all come out!
Without another word, he took out all the beast service cards in his ring, and released them one after one. Cheng Shidi had given them to him but he had never used them before.
Fire-tailed fox, White Lite Butterfly, Black and White Forked-Tailed Sparrow … …
“You have a lot of knick-knacks.” Gu Ming Gong’s snort of laughter came from above his head. “Just this trash and you want them to save your life? Haha! Listen to this old man, let me capture you. Do not waste your effort on ineffective struggles, and this old man will keep you alive!”
Gu Ming Gong’s voice was friendly and sincere.
Zuo Mo pretended not to hear it, and continuously let out the ling beasts.
After fighting for so long, Zuo Mo had generally gotten the scope of the situation. The other’s Five Element Fog Shield was powerful, but only in the area of formation variations. There was no problem in trapping him, but it would be not be so simple if the other wanted to kill him.
Understanding the situation, he calmed down.
It was pity. If Lil’ Pagoda was here, that w
ould be good. These five element fog would be great nutrients for it. He could only think of other ways now.
He hoped that these ling beasts would be enough to have an effect, at least they had numbers … …
A Ling Beast Army, this idea was pretty good!
Zuo Mo was slightly proud.
His surroundings quickly filled with all kinds of ling beasts that numbered more than two hundred! He had used all the beast service cards that Chun Yu Cheng had given him regardless of the grade!
No one would be like him and release so many ling beasts in one go. The more ling beasts one released, the harder they were the control. Even a beast breeder like Chun Yu Cheng could not control several hundred ling beasts in one go.
But Zuo Mo did not care that much right now. It was possible to see what a level he had been pressured into!
What Zuo Mo did not detect was a gleaming pair of eyes not far from him that was staring at the ling beast army he put such high hopes on!
And there was the sound of gurgling as this one swallowed!
Chapter 467: Strong Offense
The sky was a fiery red as though storm of spells raining down had lit the air on fire.
Tian Heng Bo’s expression was comparably ugly to the burning sky. Up until now, they hadn’t broken through the island’s protective formation!
Thunder roiled within the Yinyang Thunder Cloud Formation! Lightning occasionally flashed and the silver snakes curved with a frightening presence. But what caused people to feel hopeless was the azure energy that would occasionally appear. They didn’t know what those azure energies were but any spell that encountered the azure energy, no matter how powerful, would disappear.
The Tian Family started out as ling plant farmers but they had recruited a seal xiu that was skilled in formations. But that seal xiu’s head was covered in sweat and his expression was distraught at this time.
“How much longer?” Tian Heng Bo felt impatient and his voice was murderous.
He had never thought that Turtle Island was really a turtle, one that had retreated into its shell. A shell so hard it could break off people’s teeth! They had been stopped right outside the formation! If they could not break through the defense of the formation, it would be a serious blow to their present high morale.
What caused him even more fury was that Tian Ye had sent a message from the rear with the undisguised disdain. Tian Ye’s personality was eccentric and had terrible relations with Tian Heng Bo. Tian Heng Bo found it hard to tolerate being laughed at by Tian Ye.
“I … … I don’t know!” This female xiu knew Tian Heng Bo’s fiery temper. She swallowed hard and tried to explain, “This island has an expert in formations! The Yinyang Thunder Formation has been strengthened, and a lightning wood element has been added. There is also a very strange formation on the island that this subordinate has never seen before. This formation … …”
“In other words, there’s no solution?” Tian Heng Bo stared at the seal xiu with a dark face.
The heart of the seal xiu tightened. He stammered out, “This subordinate … … this subordinate needs two hours, no, four hours … …”
Woosh!
A energy flashed through the head of the seal xiu and blood streamed out.
“What is the use in keeping you!” Tian Heng Bo’s voice was cold. He did not look at the corpse on the ground, turning and ordering, “All of you, launch an all out assault! Anyone that retreats will be killed without question!”
The people around him shook inside and responded in the affirmative.
Battle xiu flooded in behind them and encircled Turtle Island, preparing their spells together.
Only one troop was stood out, staying motionless. That was Tian Ye Battalion!
Tian Heng Bo felt great hatred towards them but did not show it on his face. He ordered the other two elite battalions to attack at the same time! He resolved that he would take down Turtle Island no matter what! Otherwise, he would not be able to raise his head in front of Tian Ye in the future!
To break a formation, other than deconstructing it, there was another method, a strong attack! In theory, when the attack was strong enough, any formation can be defeated!
In a flash, numerous spells fell down!
———
Ji Wei looked at the burning sky and praised, “This Meridional Azure Aether Formation is truly strong! Daren is uncanny in ability to be able comprehend such a formation! It is a sect-protecting formation! With this formation, Daren is able to create his own sect.
Sun Bao said simply, “He’s a sect unto himself now.”
Ji Wei thought. That was true, there wasn’t any difference between Daren and a sect right now.
Zuo Mo did not conceal the [Meridional Azure Aether Formation] and everyone in Golden Crow Camp learned it and understood its wonders. But the more they understood, the more the felt how immeasurable Daren was.
Because it was not easy for Zuo Mo to explain the origins of the jade scroll, he told them that he had comprehended it himself. Zuo Mo had just wanted to find an excuse, and hadn’t expected to cause everyone’s admiration.
They did not know that the [Meridional Azure Aether Formation] had great origins! A formation that Pu Yao had held onto until now, could it be average?
The spells rained down outside but the sky was clear and calm on the island. The formation that was already powerful grew in stronger under Lil’ Pagoda’s control. Regardless of the bombardment, it was like the rock in the middle of the sea that remained unmovable.
The two of them were not nervous at all. It wasn’t just these two, all the xiuzhe of Golden Crow Camp had come to watch the spectacle and did not show any fear.
Because near them ,the sword xiu of Vermillion Bird Camp were waiting to attack!
———
In the dark and cold mountain cave, Shu Long and the others stood around a black pond.
“Should we go out and help?” A Wen couldn’t help asking.
“No need, they can deal with it.” Shu Long’s stern gaze was locked on the mo weapons floating in the pond. Beside him, everyone was anxious, afraid to breathe too harshly.
After a while, the black pond started to bubble as though it was going to boil.
Shu Long’s expression became even more grave as he said in a deep voice, “Do you remember the method I just taught you?”
Everyone nodded in unison.
“The mo weapons recognizes their owners, and all have their own good fortune. It is alright if you do not get one this time, but no one shall feel hate or envy!” Shu Long’s gaze swept across everyone.
“Ha, Brother Long is becoming more of a nag.”
“What’s there to hate? We’re all brothers!”
“The brothers that obtain mo weapons, you should go out and have a good run. Don’t let Vermillion Bird Camp take the attention!”
“That’s right! I’ve been wanting that group of bird-people to know the might of us Guard Camp!”
The competitive relationship between the two camps could be seen from the appellations. The xiuzhe of guard camp called Vermillion Bird Camp the ‘Birdy Camp’, and Vermillion Bird Camp xiuzhe referred to the Guard Camp as ‘Manual Labor Camp’.
Once the words came out, they caused a chorus of agreement and excitement! They were always discontent that Vermillion Bird Camp frequently ranked first.
Shu Long had an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth. He usually used this competitive relationship to motivate everyone to cultivate. It seems that the effects were good!
The black pond suddenly quieted. All noise disappeared, and everyone looked at the black pond. The quieted black pond was like a glossy and smooth mirror without any ripples.
At this time, a mo weapon silently floated onto the surface.
A faint but intimidating and pure fiendish energy engulfed the cave without any warning. Every camp guard unconsciously stopped breathing, their eyes pulled towards the mo weapon.
This was a cu
rved blade. The completely black blade did not have the least bit of sheen. It had an abnormal curvature and seemed to have an unusual power that captivated and held people’s gazes.
Mo weapons continuously floated onto the surface. The vicious fiendish energy in the cave increased in strength until it was almost tangible. Shu Long and the others felt this was unspeakably pleasurable. For xiuzhe, this was undoubtedly pure toxic poison, but for them this vicious fiendish energy was like being immersed in a hot spring and extremely comfortable.
No one moved even though their faces were full of excitement. They were waiting for Shu Long’s command.
Shu Long shouted, “Start!”
They then eagerly channeled the Hardship Guard. Killing essence filled the cave. Everyone had serious expressions, releasing as much killing essence as they could and were shrouded in tangible killing essence.
The black mist of killing essence seemed to give off an inviting scent. The mo weapons that were inside the black pool were attracted and started to shake. The peaceful black pool was instantly disrupted.
Mo weapons chose their masters.
For all the hardship guards including Shu Long, this was a very novel matter. They didn’t even have a general concept of mo weapons but they knew this could make them strong! Make them more powerful!
That was enough!
For these hardship guards that were once slave xiu, following Daren was their own goal in life. Yet they found their combat capabilities was inferior to Vermillion Bird Camp and the effect they could cause with their strength was limited. For this group of people, that lived to follow Zuo Mo, being unable to show their usefulness was even more depressing and uncomfortable than death!
Each of them channeled their mo skill to the max. Their eyes held determination that had gone through hardship.

Ning Yi looked greedily at Wei Sheng. Such an extreme soul! He could smell the purity of this soul, it was so intoxicating!
“A masterpiece of Heaven!” Ning Yi licked his lips, his long and narrow eyes showing undisguised excitement!
