Chapter 727: Chapter 676: Sumeru Moving Mountain_1
Thunder Marsh Wilderness.
According to rumors, this wasteland is prone to lightning strikes, hence its name.
Within the wilderness, there exists a group of ’Thunder Beasts’. These wild beasts are naturally adept at controlling the power of lightning, and the elite among them are comparable to Immortal Cultivators who have reached the Returning to Emptiness stage. The king of the Thunder Beasts can release gold and silver twin-colored lightning, which even Cultivators at the Integration stage find hard to avoid.
Fortunately, for some unknown reason, this group of ’Thunder Beasts’ disappeared ten thousand years ago, providing an opportunity for the human race to start developing plans for the Thunder Marsh Wilderness.
Even so, above the Thunder Marsh Wilderness, there still exists an untold number of precious and exotic creatures, concealing countless dangers.
The human race’s previous attempts to reclaim the wilderness have all ended in failure.
Now, another team that doesn’t believe in superstitions has set off on their journey.
...
Craack!
The sky remained gloomy, with lightning flickering from time to time.
Boom!
Boom!
The ground trembled, approaching from far and near.
On closer look, one could see that it was a mountain of dark gold color, sprouting eight massive legs, stepping forward.
Boom!
With each step it took, the mountain sank deeply into the earth, causing the surroundings to feel as if an earthquake was occurring.
Were it not for the many Transcendent Gods Cultivators around its massive feet casting spells, the mountain might have truly become ’rooted to the spot’, unable to move again.
"Get ready... to cast the ’Light Wind Skill’!"
Fang Xi, too, was leading a team of Nascent Soul Cultivators clad in black armor, guarding the edge of a leg as massive as a heavenly pillar.
Following his Divine Consciousness Transmission, those Nascent Soul armored soldiers quickly formed seals with their hands.
Streams of light green wind emerged, with faint Ancient Seal Script flickering within them.
This breeze twined around the colossal leg resembling a heavenly pillar, seemingly lightening it slightly.
Chirp, chirp!
In midair, countless pitch-black, scale-covered peculiar birds screeched and roared, charging at the huge mountain.
These were originally part of a flock living in a nearby jungle, but as the mountain passed through, it destroyed their habitat...
Whoosh!
Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Power converged, turning into countless water arrows showering down like raindrops from the sky, each unerringly striking the pitch-black scaled birds.
Fairy Yunxi let out a soft shout, and behind her, the shape of an azure giant appeared.
Wielding a trident, the giant lightly waved its arm.
A white crystalline ice wall emerged, with fish that slipped through the net smashing against it, exploding into flesh and blood.
"Chirp, chirp!"
Suddenly, accompanied by a harsh and unpleasant voice.
From among the pitch-black strange birds, a giant pitch-black vulture with two heads suddenly flew out.
It spat out wind and thunder, attracting Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Power to form a bi-colored light blade, cutting through the wall of ice!
"A fifth-order Monster Beast?!"
Fairy Yunxi exclaimed as she saw a huge pitch-black mouth descend from the sky, its interior filled with sharp fangs, biting towards the two-headed strange bird.
Crack!
Accompanied by a crisp sound, the vulture’s Body Protective Light Shield showed numerous cracks and then shattered with a bang.
The bird cried out in pain, and its Monster Body willingly split into two, transforming into two black birds trying to break free to the left and right.
The pitch-black strange mouth could only bite down on the rightward-escaping vulture-like bird, chewing vigorously with blood, flesh, bones, and feathers flowing down from the gaps...
The remaining one that narrowly escaped to freedom turned into a black light and rapidly retreated, its speed almost unimaginable.
It flew back into the remaining flock, emitting a mournful wail.
The rest of the strange birds immediately scattered with piercing screams, no longer daring to obstruct the path of the colossal mountain.
"Many thanks to Kuantao for your help!"
Fairy Yunxi looked up at the meaty mountain descending from the sky and couldn’t help thanking him.
"We both hail from Yaksha Camp and are allies; we should naturally help and look out for each other," said Master Kuantao with a hearty laugh before spitting out a glob of saliva: "Ptooey... This strange bird really tastes awful!"
"To possess Divine Skill like that of Transcendent Gods’ Externalizations despite being a Monster Beast, and even capable of splitting into two, truly troublesome..." Fairy Yunxi spoke softly, "It’s already remarkable that Kuantao was able to kill half its body..."
"In this Thunder Marsh Wilderness, I fear that these birds are nothing... The real danger has yet to come," sighed Master Kuantao.
Upon hearing this, a shadow of concern appeared on Fairy Yunxi’s beautiful face...
...
The massive mountain of dark gold color advanced for another month before stopping in an open plain.
"Mountain falling..."
A perfect Transcendent God colonel released his Divine Consciousness, continually transmitting the command.
"Mountain falling..."
One after another, the colonels passed the military command down the line, reaching the ears of each Cultivator.
Whoosh!
Escape Lights shot out rapidly, like quails fleeing for their lives.
Fang Xi, too, gave up guarding that ’heavenly pillar’ and followed the main contingent, retreating tens of thousands of miles away.
Boom, boom, boom!
Like the weight of Mount Tai pressing down, the mountain slammed to the ground with a thunderous crash.
Only then could one see the full view of that colossal mountain.
It retracted its eight legs, resembling heavenly pillars, and stripes of golden lines flashed across the mountain’s body.
Within a hundred thousand miles nearby, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy shook.
The dark gold mountain range seemed to take root on the ground, clinging firmly to the plain.
Moreover, golden lines kept forming Prohibitions, with dazzling Radiance emerging on the mountain’s surface.
Under the glow of dark golden light, countless Wild Beasts scattered in all directions, fleeing for their lives.
And among these beasts, there were some creatures beyond the cultivator’s imagination.
"What are... those?"
