Chapter 481: After modification: Chapter 480 Seeking Death
“Three of our Fire Spirit Peak disciples have gone missing. We tracked their whereabouts and discovered they had all gone to Bixia Peak…”
Ma Zhen was incensed and quickly spoke out.
“I am speaking with your master. When is it your turn to speak?”
Master Dan Jun glared, his imposing aura pressing down instantly, causing Ma Zhen’s breath to tremble, rendering him speechless.
Bai Ziyue took a step forward, directly blocking Master Dan Jun’s late-stage Divine Realm aura, and said calmly, “Whether or not they are on your Bixia Peak, a search will reveal.”
“Absurd! You can’t even keep track of your own disciples and come to my Bixia Peak when they go missing? Elder Bai, do you really think I, Dan Jun, am so easygoing?”
Master Dan Jun’s eyes flashed as he spoke forcefully.
Both publicly and privately, he couldn’t possibly agree.
“I knew you wouldn’t admit it.”
Bai Ziyue gently shook his head, his cold gaze fixed on Master Dan Jun, “What if I insist on searching?”
“Do you dare?”
Master Dan Jun shouted angrily.
“Heh, do you think I dare not?”
Bai Ziyue chuckled, but his eyes instantly turned icy cold.
“Soul Energy +9858!”
“Hmm?”
Bai Ziyue’s expression suddenly changed as he noticed a sharp increase in the amount of Soul Energy on his Attribute Panel.
Someone died?
Silent elimination?
As his strength increased, the radiation range of his Attribute Panel naturally expanded, and the daily increase in his Soul Energy had reached over 50,000 points.
Generally, it was extremely difficult for him to notice whether the deceased were human or demon, whether they were killed or died of natural causes. But as long as he wanted to, he could clearly identify the source of the Soul Energy.
At this moment, he had detected that the sudden increase in Soul Energy came from within Master Dan Jun’s Bixia Peak, and it belonged to cultivators at the Qi Refinement Stage.
Considering his three missing disciples were at the Qi Refinement Stage and the place was unlikely to have any Demon Beasts… Bai Ziyue didn’t hesitate. His Divine Thought swept out majestically as his body turned into a streak of light and shot forward.
“Arrogant!”
Master Dan Jun’s expression changed dramatically. With a furious roar, a giant tripod furnace shot out from within him.
BOOM!
The scene was grand, as if it could cover the sky, blocking Bai Ziyue’s path.
Bai Ziyue’s expression didn’t change. He swiftly sent out a spark of light that instantly landed on Master Dan Jun.
Divine Technique, Small Spirit-Banning Technique!
“Hiss!”
Immediately, Master Dan Jun, who had been exuding an unrivaled aura, had his spirit light rapidly scatter. His Divine Thought was completely sealed, and the grandiose tripod furnace fell to the ground without the support of Divine Thought power.
Bai Ziyue’s speed did not slow. He took a step forward.
SWOOSH!
In an instant, he appeared a thousand meters away.
“What?”
Numerous people widened their eyes in shock, faces full of disbelief.
This initial confrontation, seemingly swift and fleeting, left countless people stunned.
Master Dan Jun, a late-stage Divine Realm cultivator, was powerless before Bai Ziyue?
Even though Master Dan Jun’s actual combat strength was generally weaker due to being an Alchemist, Bai Ziyue was also an Alchemist, and his Immortal Technique Realm was only at the early-stage Divine Realm.
Yet, in just one exchange, Bai Ziyue sealed Master Dan Jun’s Divine Thought, almost rendering him powerless.
Even though his Divine Thought fluctuations recomposed in an instant, appearing unscathed, everyone knew that for cultivators of their Divine Realm level, a single breath was enough for countless attacks.
In other words, if Bai Ziyue wished, he could instantly kill Master Dan Jun…
“You’re courting death!”
Master Dan Jun was humiliated and furious.
Desperation set in.
His Divine Thought surged manically.
Instantly, the Grand Array covering Bixia Peak soared into action.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The void froze.
The entire world seemed locked in place, as powerful suppressive forces from all directions pressed down on Bai Ziyue.
Simultaneously, fire clouds gathered in the void, transforming into a massive flame that descended like a blanket, akin to a cloud layer falling.
“Master, be careful!”
Ma Zhen’s face changed dramatically.
“Master…”
Chen Fan’s face turned pale.
Bai Ziyue’s Divine Thought locked onto a courtyard at the summit of Bixia Peak, detecting Wang Wei’s intent to kill his three registered disciples. His face turned cold as he growled, “Courting death.”
His Flying Sword instantly transformed into a stream of light, shooting forward.
SWOOSH!
Fast, fast, fast…
Bai Ziyue’s Beiming Flying Sword was forged with the fifth-grade Primordial Spirit Realm Great Demon Bone as the base, infused with countless precious materials, and refined using the Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace comparable to the Golden Core True Fire. Its quality was immensely formidable, and its speed was lightning quick.
Enhanced by Bai Ziyue’s Divine Thought Power, its might, grade, and speed saw a slight improvement.
Now, as the Flying Sword shot out, it seemed to pierce through two layers of the void. The Grand Array’s power descended and the void was locked, yet it couldn’t hinder the Flying Sword in the slightest.
Chiii…
The flying sword pierced through the air, immediately arriving beside Wang Wei.
“Ding!”
Wang Wei’s flying sword was cut in half.
With the destruction of his flying sword, Wang Wei groaned under the backlash to his heart spirit, as if struck by lightning, and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.
But he didn’t have the luxury to care about this, he turned abruptly, his face full of terror, “Elder Bai, how is this possible?”
He could never have imagined that Bai Ziyue would dare to storm in and attack him atop Elder Dan Jun’s Bixia Peak.
Blocking Wang Wei with a single sword, Bai Ziyue didn’t even look at him, raising a hand in a palm strike that seemed to cover the sky, smashing fiercely at the boundless flames falling from the void.
“Boom!”
The void suddenly congealed, and the Immortal Martial Hand Seal and the overwhelming flames dissipated simultaneously.
“Elder Dan Jun, don’t you owe me an explanation?”
Bai Ziyue said coldly.
“Invading the important grounds of my Immortal Mountain, it is Elder Bai who owes me an explanation.”
Master Dan Jun shouted in anger, and the grand array in the void gathered once more, the boundless flames turning the whole Bixia Peak red. Empowered by the array’s strength, his aura surged continuously, reaching a peak extreme.
At this moment, Master Dan Jun seemed like an unparalleled god of war, his might unbeatable.
Rumble!
The lifebound dharma treasure, the tripod furnace, rushed out once again, and the flames gathered in the sky, as if attracted, were all absorbed into that furnace.
With the boundless flame source gathered in one furnace, the sky suddenly cleared.
In the distance, the blue color amidst the clouds was even visible.
Then, the tripod furnace abruptly reversed.
Overwhelming flames burst out once more.
“Boom!”
The flames evolved over several years into an incredibly enormous fire dragon, roaring towards the sky, shaking the void, then transforming into a long river of fire, swiftly sweeping towards Bai Ziyue as if to engulf him completely.
Bai Ziyue’s eyes slightly narrowed. The power of this fire dragon was significant, comparable to the full force strike of a Nine-star powerhouses, so even he had to be cautious.
Hastily moving his mind, his divine thought surged wildly, directing fifty percent of his divine thought power into the only Divine Power Seed within his body.
This Divine Power Seed was a magical item he had condensed after absorbing the Fire of Heaven and Earth, the Thousand-Year Ice Heart Fire, which already possessed the initial power of Great Divine Techniques.
Zzzzzz…
At the moment his divine thought was consumed rapidly, a giant flame melting furnace condensed in front of him.
Much like that tripod furnace, the five-colored flame melting furnace directly faced the fire dragon, containing all its overwhelming fire within.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
…
“Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace, refine it for me.”
Bai Ziyue’s eyes were icy, completely ignoring the consumption of his divine thought, and the five-colored flames immediately spun madly, like a millstone, grinding the fire dragon to dust, devouring the flames, and turning them directly into his own nourishment.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths…
With the fire dragon completely ground down, the aura of the five-colored flames in front of Bai Ziyue seemed to grow stronger, more powerful than before.
The scene was silent.
Everyone involuntarily held their breath.
Incredulously looking at the standing figure in the void.
Elder Bai, how is he so strong?
How could he be this strong?
Is he really at the early-stage Divine Realm?
Countless people had questions rising in their hearts, all filled with shock.
Many, some even disciples of Master Dan Jun, looked at Bai Ziyue with extreme admiration.
Regardless of Immortal Technique strength or alchemy prowess, Bai Ziyue far surpassed Master Dan Jun.
“It’s rude not to reciprocate. How about taking one of my palm strikes?”
Bai Ziyue’s expression did not change, extending a hand, a palm print immediately condensing in the void.
Mighty and unstoppable, it nearly enveloped the entire world.
Immortal Martial Hand Seal!
Master Dan Jun’s face turned pale, a trace of terror appearing in his heart.
Though his realm is high, it was achieved through spirit pills. His actual combat strength is even less than that of a typical mid-stage Divine Realm Cultivator. Facing this titanic palm, his heart spirit was captured in an instant, unable to react promptly.
Rumble!
It was only when the palm print fell that he managed to control his lifebound dharma treasure, the tripod furnace, to meet it. Also, in front of him, a top-grade defensive dharma treasure was rushed out.
Boom!
The Immortal Martial Hand Seal fell, striking the tripod furnace. Hastily activated, the furnace naturally held little power and was instantly sent flying. The remaining force of the palm print directly hit the top-grade defensive dharma treasure.
Clang!
The top-grade defensive dharma treasure trembled sharply, slightly lifted.
Fortunately, by this time Master Dan Jun finally reacted, controlling the grand array once more. A large flame spiritual light shield condensed in front of him, finally blocking the palm print.
But his face was extremely ashen and ugly.
“Stop!”
At that moment, an angry shout suddenly rang out.
It was True Monarch Dan Chen, who had finally sensed the commotion and quickly rushed over from the distance.
