Chapter 389: Gathering Qi to Nourish Spirits, Preying on the Human World, and Shattering the Sky with an Axe
Sichuan.
Xiling Snow Mountain, 4:36 pm.
The stars hang high in the sky, the moon is bright, and the hazy and rugged mountains are like a lying dragon.
At an altitude of more than 5000 meters, on a snowy peak that never melts all year round, there is a secret infrared ray laying on a rolling ridge.
Nearly a hundred combat members of the Nine Divisions and six Class B mechas were stationed in the surrounding area, just to monitor in real time a strange vortex that was sinking from the void in the distance.
It is suspended vertically on the mountain ridge, with a diameter of hundreds of meters. It is like the eyes of God shining on the human world, or like a special passage leading to another world, full of mystery.
"Boom!!!"
In the silence of the night, thunder suddenly exploded from the sky, and silver-white lightning tore through the thick dark clouds, as if announcing the arrival of some extraordinary creature.
The next moment, the wind began to rise and clouds surged, and a frosty figure stood ten thousand meters in the sky.
Jiang Mo's eyes flashed with cold lightning as he looked down at the entrance to the secret realm of Daxuetang. In just a moment, he could see through the strange Qi flow around him. The mundane Qi of heaven and earth was forcibly dragged into the secret realm like a whale's suction.
"Wow!"
Instantly, red-gold Dao marks ignited deep in Jiang Mo's pupils. He pushed his true method to the extreme. His eyes split through the void, fell on the mountains, and explored carefully.
Soon, a magic circle covering the mountains gradually took shape.
Its power is the most terrifying magic circle Jiang Mo has ever seen. It is arranged at the exit of this secret realm and is rooted in the ground. Thousands of rich natural Qi flows are continuously gathered from the mountains, rivers and lakes on land. The coverage area is so wide that it is shocking, and it is hundreds of kilometers away.
His methods are extremely sophisticated, silently absorbing the spiritual energy of all things and nourishing the secret realm.
Ordinary sorcerers and strange people could not see any clues at all. Half of the Shu province became the fat meat for them to take at will. Moreover, every place and every thing were being plundered. Countless places and countless things, after coming together, formed an energy that was so terrifying that it was unimaginable.
"You're a predator in the human world? You're such a parasite from the world."
Jiang Mo seemed to be thinking about something, and his murderous intent suddenly became stronger. He gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish his sect.
He could also achieve this level of absorption, but the price was that all the mountains, forests, land, rivers, and cities near the sect would wither.
The Taiqing Palace, however, did not seem to have such concerns. In fact, in order to prolong the amount of Qi they absorbed, they continuously weakened the power of adsorption from far to near, doing it more secretively to avoid being discovered by ordinary people.
Even if a city suddenly withered away, mountains collapsed, rivers dried up, and the five elements collapsed thousands of miles away, the Nine Departments would not necessarily be able to trace them.
"boom!!!"
Jiang Mo stepped out without hiding, and his figure suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he had arrived in front of the floating mountain ridge vortex. The blazing silver barrier and the blood-red barrier rose from the ground, completely cutting off the way behind him.
"Enemy attack!! Those bastards are coming out!!"
“Wuwuwu!!”
A sharp and rapid alarm sounded, and the nine surrounding units gave orders to attack, preparing to suppress the situation with firepower.
The noise behind him faded away, and Jiang Mo walked forward alone, without any fear.
True fire from the ancient path fell from his right hand, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, it continued to form a huge battle axe, nearly ten feet long, with a thick and slender axe blade, surrounded by the edge formed by the flames, exuding a sense of power that could move mountains and seas.
With a "pop" sound, as Jiang Mo took a step, his figure penetrated the vortex, time and space were overturned, everything changed, and the dark snow-capped mountains were instantly replaced by the clear sky of the secret realm.
"?"
Jiang Mo discovered that he was actually tens of thousands of meters above the secret realm, falling rapidly. He controlled the energy and rode the wind to steady his body, and began to overlook the entire vast secret realm, with picturesque mountains and clear waters, a gentle breeze, and warm sunshine.
The secret realm hidden beyond reality has a richness of spiritual energy that is so different from that of the mundane world.
The law of gravity also applies here, and it is dozens of times stronger than in the outside world. It seems like there are countless sticky silk threads, tightly hooking every inch of flesh and blood, dragging it down madly.
"."
Jiang Mo restrained his Qi to the extreme and glanced around subconsciously, but there was no one guarding the place.
Come to think of it, with the entrance tens of thousands of meters high, there are probably not many people in the secret realm who can fly so high.
As for ordinary outsiders, if they dive in, they will be affected by the gravity of this place and be caught off guard, and will be smashed to pieces in an instant. Is such a natural danger congenital or artificially modified?
In addition, Jiang Mo also noticed a daytime sun hanging above the secret realm, which was like a mirage, refracted from an unknown area.
Just as he was lost in thought, a long bell rang from afar, as if warning of something. In the blink of an eye, endless fairy light burst out from the Taiqing Palace ten thousand meters away, and dense figures rushed out like locusts.
Thirty-six main peaks, twelve elders, and eighteen hundred disciples, except for the master who was in seclusion and the supreme elder whose whereabouts were unknown, almost all the disciples of Taiqing Palace went out together and rushed to the exit of the secret realm.
No one could believe that the bell, which had been silent for hundreds of years, suddenly rang out, announcing the appearance of invaders.
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!"
Dozens of bright beams of light cut through the sky and appeared from the end of the horizon in an instant.
When the light faded, one Taiqing elder after another appeared. They were dressed in luxurious clothes, wearing magical instruments and jade, and had extraordinary temperaments. Following them were the masters of the thirty-six peaks and disciples flying in the sky with swords.
However, just at their first meeting, an elder of a very high seniority, upon seeing Jiang Mo's characteristic frosty white hair, his face turned pale with horror, as if he had seen a ghost resurrected, and he couldn't believe it at all.
The Trinity Sect, is it still alive?!
Not only him, but also several other elders of similar age narrowed their eyes, murderous intent filled their eyes. It was a blood feud that had lasted for countless generations, and now that it had been found, one side was doomed to fail. The younger elders did not understand what was happening, but only felt that a terrible war was imminent and almost ready to break out.
They were unable to judge the strength of the invader, but they were terrified by the huge battle axe in his hand and smelled an extremely dangerous aura. What kind of magical treasure was that that was so terrifying?
"How dare you, lunatic, trespass into our sect's important territory. What do you intend to do?!"
As the two armies faced each other, a loud shout resounded through the sky. It was Master Shouyuan, the third disciple of Master Taiqing, who was the first to question.
Jiang Mo sensed several strong murderous intentions coming from those white-haired old ghosts.
He turned a blind eye, gathered Qi with his five fingers, and shaped a lifelike figure, recreating the appearance and demeanor of Lingyun Layman. He looked directly at Master Shouyuan and asked in a cold voice:
"He, who are you?"
"My senior brother, Ling Yun, have you met him?!"
Master Shouyuan's heart suddenly trembled, and he had a bad premonition.
"boom!!!"
The moment he got the answer, Jiang Mo no longer concealed his Qi, and his cultivation level of the 6th level of Xuan Ming was completely exposed. He was like a god descending on the earth, suppressing the elders and peak masters present, making them almost suffocate and their expressions stiff.
He leaped up, without any extra words, and locked his eyes on the few old ghosts in the crowd who were the first to attack him. He instantly cast the Soul-Breaking Curse, gathered strength in his right arm, and smashed down with an axe.
"what!!!"
"what!!!"
A tragic roar was heard, and several elders were bleeding in the void, with blood coming out of all their orifices. The sudden change made all the disciples shudder.
It was at this moment that the real killing move began. Jiang Mo's figure was ethereal and terrifying, as if it overlapped with the sun. At the moment when everyone's eyes were wide open in anger, they saw a huge axe blade with no boundaries coming towards them.
"Boom!!!"
Like the axe that shattered the mountain in the myth, it demonstrated the burst of power to the fullest extent. The void trembled and shook, and thousands of air exploded, forming a violent and chaotic shock wave, which destroyed the surface along the way.
The four elders at the center of the attack didn't even have a chance to struggle. Together with the multiple peak masters and nearly a thousand disciples behind them, their bodies exploded into blood mist. Soul light flew out, very thin, and they wailed in fear.
"Pong!!!"
As the axe blade passed through the void, golden flames spread, burning those souls, causing them to dissipate bit by bit. They fled madly, but the flames could not be extinguished, as if they were being tortured in purgatory.
Under this horrific blow, the ground surface was severely shattered, and a gully of nearly ten thousand meters was opened. There were also countless abysses shattered around it. Many plants, rocks, and rocks were turned into powder in billowing smoke and dust.
"escape!!!"
"Retreat!!! Start the sect's formation!"
The elder who had managed to escape was covered in blood, almost seriously injured, his face was pale, and he screamed loudly. Without even a moment's hesitation, he fled towards the Taoist Palace ten thousand meters away.
"Ahhh!! Go!"
The remaining disciples were terrified, their eyes reddened, they held back their emotions and fled desperately.
As the elite 36 peak masters of Taiqing Palace, 8 of them were killed. They never expected that the invaders this time were so ferocious that they could not resist. With just a casual blow, more than half of the disciples were slaughtered, leaving no intact bodies.
"escape?"
Jiang Mo snorted coldly, and his figure suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in front of more than 600 fleeing disciples. He swung his axe across the air, and a sea of fire swept across the sky again, submerging all the disciples of Taiqing Palace.
"Bang!!!"
"Ahhh!!"
One after another, the protective magic tools could not withstand the burning of the ancient true fire. Their spirituality was destroyed one after another and they exploded into pieces. Within a few breaths, their owners were also buried in the sea of fire and turned into wisps of flying ashes.
There were more than a dozen peak masters who were stopped. At this moment, their fear was magnified to an unprecedented level. The white-haired monster standing in the sea of fire was looking at them.
The atmosphere became eerily quiet. More than a dozen strong men looked at Jiang Mo, their heartbeats so violently that they were about to burst out of their chests, but no one dared to declare war.
Faced with an unbridgeable, far-reaching gap in strength that seemed like the other side of the river, their desire to resist was completely devoured by fear, their hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, and they fell into despair.
"me."
One of the peak masters trembled for most of the day and could not even utter complete words. He wanted to surrender in order to save his life, but he could not accept the ridicule from the disciples around him.
Unfortunately, he never had the chance to surrender until his death.
Jiang Mo glanced at the thirteen peak masters who were still in shock, and without even any extra communication, he directly released the Soul-Breaking Curse, forcibly tearing each person's soul residing in their brain into pieces.
"Ahhh!!!"
The wailing was endless and many people died, but Jiang Mo ignored it, turned around, walked forward, and his eyes fell on the tall and majestic Taiqing Palace in the distance.
