Chapter 695: Resentment

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The mountain gate formation of the Primordial Sword Sect whistled, forming a passage of towering sword shadows, slashing into the green energy.

“Screech!”

Within the twisting green energy, it seemed to transform into a long venomous worm, fiercely roaring at the Primordial Sword Sect, its sharp voice reverberating through the formation.

“Chi!”

The towering sword shadows cut straight through the green venomous worm, causing its body to immediately dissipate by half. However, with the convergence of the surrounding natural energy, the venomous worm’s body quickly returned to normal and continued surging towards the Primordial Sword Sect.

Chen Fei stood in mid-air, watching the silhouette of the venomous worm, his gaze fluctuating.

The power of the Mountain Sea Realm contained the subtlety of the soul, and this venomous worm was no exception.

The strength of the Primordial Sword Sect’s formation was formidable, something that ordinary peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators would hesitate to confront head-on. Yet, not only did this venomous worm accept the challenge, it also continued its charge as if nothing had happened.

The sword shadows of the formation only destroyed the superficial energy condensed from the surrounding energy on the surface of the venomous worm’s body. Its core was minimally affected, and it quickly recovered, seemingly unfazed.

If the Combined Aperture Tempering realm is besieged by the Aperture Tempering realm and has no room to retreat, it may eventually be overwhelmed by sheer numbers.

However, in the Mountain Sea Realm, due to the use of the soul, relying on numerical superiority to besiege under the Mountain Sea Realm is not impossible, but the price to be paid will be extremely brutal.

Because within the Mountain Sea Realm, every fraction of soul power can be transformed into multiple uses of mind and elemental power. And under the Mountain Sea Realm, the inability to use the soul leads to passive consumption of outer layers of power.

Just like the current situation with the venomous worm.

Other sects without the Mountain Sea Realm wouldn’t have this venomous worm. In the end, they would only compete against each other’s endurance, seeing who would be worn down first.

The formation of the Primordial Sword Sect once again sent out several sword shadows, slashing into the body of the venomous worm.

The venomous worm roared fiercely, its body dissolving and then immediately recovering.

However, compared to before, the speed of the venomous worm’s recovery would be slightly slower, and this trend becincreasingly apparent over time.

“Bang!”

The venomous worm slammed into the formation of the Primordial Sword Sect, causing the formation to tremble violently. Cracks began to appear in the shield where it was hit, and with such force, it was estimated that after just three hits, the formation of the Primordial Sword Sect would shatter.

The disciples of the Primordial Sword Sect, from the Aperture Tempering realm and above, began to launch attacks towards the venomous worm. However, compared to the power of the formation, the attacks from the disciples seemed somewhat insignificant.

The early-stage Aperture Tempering realm power was even unable to tear through the green mist on the surface of the venomous worm. It was only in the later stages of the Aperture Tempering realm that they could slightly inflict sdamage.

Naturally, the attack power of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm was stronger, yielding more results.

But now, all attacks were from a distance. Once the formation of the mountain gate shattered, and close combat ensued, the losses for the Primordial Sword Sect would reach a staggering number.

The true form of Chen Fei flickered, appearing outside the formation. The aura emanating from him was as intense as boiling oil, suddenly soaring into the sky.

Nine Revolutions of the Universe!

Sensing the aura emanating from Chen Fei, the sharp roar of the venomous worm diminished, focusing all attention on him.

Hundreds of miles away.

A towering head with swollen boils and deformed arms, one large and one small, just like the evil creature Chen Fei encountered before. However, compared to the adult-sized one Chen Fei encountered, this creature’s body was over ten meters tall, which was its true form.

Carefully observing the surface of the creature’s body, countless twisted and agonized faces could be seen wandering on it.

Screams, curses, pleas for mercy—there were plenty, but the towering resentment was entirely uniform, sending shivers down one’s spine.

These faces, just moments ago, were all living people. Yet, in the blink of an eye, they becthe source of power for this evil creature.

Why did the creature lurk in secrecy to pollute? Its purpose was to harness the power of all nearby humans for itself.

The more these people suffered and screamed, the stronger the creature’s power became.

With another day’s time, the creature’s power could have fully settled. However, because it was discovered, the creature had to act prematurely.

At this moment, the terrifying power brought by its enormous body made every strike exceptionally sharp. The three Combined Aperture Tempering realms of Thousand Geese City didn’t directly confront the creature, instead maneuvering around it completely.

The green mist pervaded the surroundings. Once inhaled by those in the Body Tempering realm, they would immediately undergo a grotesque transformation, completely controlled by the creature without any chance of escape.

The Aperture Tempering realm could resist for a brief moment, but only briefly. If they didn’t break free quickly, their refined minds would also be seized.

As for the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, they had no fear of contamination by the mist. However, with their power, causing significant harm to the creature was incredibly challenging, if not nearly impossible.

This was the battle at the level of the Mountain Sea Realm. Once embroiled beneath the Mountain and Sea, one could suffer anything from light injuries to instant death.

Tang Shouchang’s figure flickered, his blade slashing through, leaving only a trail of sword light between heaven and earth.

In the next moment, one of the creature’s arms was instantly severed into two halves by Tang Shouchang’s blade. The severed limb crashed to the ground, transforming once again into green energy surging back into the creature’s body.

Simultaneously, the broken arm of the creature was swiftly regenerating, seemingly unharmed.

However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that many of the twisted faces on the creature’s arm had dissipated.

These faces were the source of the creature’s power, and their disappearance represented a loss of its strength.

Even with the power of the Mountain Sea Realm, facing such a creature, the best one could do was to wear it down until it perished.

Wu Renxu wielded a paper fan, its swings akin to a mountain descending. The creature’s body emitted a thunderous roar as it endured immense force.

Zhang Chaoyun held a long spear, thrusting it like a dragon, roaring like a true dragon. The massive shadow of the spear pierced into the creature’s body, piercing it through from front to back.

The creature twisted violently, and many of the faces within its body dissipated once again.

Individually, Tang Shouchang and the other two would likely not be a match for this creature, even though it hadn’t completed its consolidation.

But now, with three against one, despite the creature’s exaggerated recovery ability, it was continuously worn down. Following this trend, the creature’s demise was almost certain!

In less than fifteen minutes, the creature’s size had already decreased by more than ten percent, accompanied by a reduction in its power.

Just moments ago, the creature couldn’t defeat the three, and now, with its strength diminished, the situation becincreasingly irreversible.

A hint of smile appeared on the faces of Tang Shouchang and the others. In at most an hour, they should be able to slay this creature.

Another fifteen minutes passed, and the creature’s form decreased by another twenty percent. Despite its roaring, it couldn’t even manage to escape.

“Fortunately, this creature’s power hasn’t completely transformed. Otherwise, even with the strength of the three of us, it would be difficult to subdue,” Zhang Chaoyun said solemnly.

“It’s thanks to a younger generation reminding us, allowing this creature to be exposed prematurely. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable,” Tang Shouchang nodded.

At that time, even within Thousand Geese City, over a hundred people were contaminated, and it happened during a celebration when the atmosphere was most chaotic. Even the Mountain Sea Realm would have difficulty detecting it.

By the tthey realized, the number of contaminated people in Thousand Geese City would likely have reached several thousand.

Once thousands of people simultaneously erupted, the number of infections would undoubtedly be tens of thousands, or even more.

Consider that previously, only a hundred people erupted, resulting in the deaths of several thousand in an instant. Just thinking about it made the horror apparent.

“This is a great achievement and deserves reward!”

Wu Renxu nodded, his folding fan flipping as he resisted the creature’s attacks. He continued, “This creature will be vanquished soon. However, there is one thing you two may consider executing.”

“What is it?”

Tang Shouchang merged with his blade, transforming into a massive blade light, forcibly cleaving the creature in two. Though the creature didn’t truly die from this, the twisted faces within its body decreased once again.

Zhang Chaoyun turned to Wu Renxu, but his long spear didn’t stop. It turned into a myriad of spear lights, enveloping the creature below.

The creature blocked with its deformed and massive arm, resisting the sharp spear lights as its body kept retreating.

“This creature should be a subordinate of the Black Divine,” Wu Renxu said as he flipped his folding fan, transforming it into a whirlwind that trapped the creature within.

The whirlwind radiated with cold light, continuously cutting the creature’s body and making it emit earth-shattering roars.

A subordinate of the Black Divine?

Tang Shouchang and Zhang Chaoyun’s expressions shifted slightly. In the past decade or so, their activities had mostly been in the vicinity of Thousand Geese City, and they hadn’t heard of this before.

” Currently, there’ s a bounty on these Black Divine subordinates in Feihuang City, and the reward is extremely high. This creature is now like a turtle in a jar. Why don’t we capture it alive and hand it over to Feihuang City?” Wu Renxu turned to Tang Shouchang and Zhang Chaoyun.

Even Wu Renxu couldn’t help but feel tempted by the bounty offered by Feihuang City.

Now that the creature was subdued, killing it outright would be somewhat of a waste.

Tang Shouchang and Zhang Chaoyun hesitated a bit. Killing and capturing were two different concepts. This creature was extremely powerful, and capturing it would not only require more effort but could also lead to unforeseen accidents.

“As for the reward in Feihuang City, the Red FlGold is included!” Wu Renxu noticed their expressions and chuckled softly.

“Is this true?” Zhang Chaoyun’s expression changed suddenly.

“Of course it’s true!” Wu Renxu nodded.

Red FlGold could directly repair and enhance spiritual treasures. Zhang Chaoyun had always been somewhat regretful about his spear, and there was even a battle where the spear was directly damaged and couldn’t be restored.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Shouchang nodded. If there really was Red FlGold involved, it wouldn’t hurt to take srisks.

“Hahaha, so be it!”

Wu Renxu laughed loudly, flipping his folding fan, summoning several whirlwinds to trap the creature once again. Tang Shouchang and Zhang Chaoyun flew forward to cleanse the power within the creature.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed. Because they intended to spare the creature, their speed was undoubtedly slower.

But at this moment, the creature’s strength was also dwindling.

“Seal it!” Tang Shouchang turned to Wu Renxu.

Wu Renxu nodded. Several beams of light appeared on his folding fan, while around the creature, the natural energy of heaven and earth surged. A giant formation enveloped the creature.

The creature roared loudly but was powerless against the formation.

As the formation continued to shrink, the creature’s roaring becincreasingly faint.

A smile appeared on Wu Renxu’s face. However, just as the sealing was about to be completed, a faint cracking sound suddenly echoed.
