The appearance of the black tower cultivator dashed True Person Yunting’s last hope of survival.
Yet he showed no fear, instead throwing his head back in laughter.
“Hahaha…!!”
“To think this old man roamed the Divine Domain for over four hundred years—even Nascent Soul cultivators couldn’t touch me back then—yet today I fall to juniors like you!”
True Person Yunting laughed, then roared in rage: “This old man is unwilling!”
“Senior, times have changed. Those eliminated by history will inevitably be drowned by it!”
“Your fury is useless. I have already destroyed all your vital energy.”
“If you must blame someone, blame yourselves for being too ruthless!”
Cang Gu spoke indifferently, unmoved by True Person Yunting’s words, simply watching him quietly.
“Rest assured, after you die, I will make good use of the treasures on your body and try to kill as few Huangxuan Valley disciples as possible.”
“After centuries of cultivation, ultimately returning to dust…”
True Person Yunting murmured, his face a tragic smile, his body radiating death.
He looked at Cang Gu and suddenly said: “I’ve long heard that Shenwu Sect produced an extraordinary genius. That must be you?”
Cang Gu furrowed his brows slightly, not answering, but said calmly: “Senior, with your vital energy severed, why cling on? Dust to dust, earth to earth—isn’t that good?”
These words caused True Person Yunting’s body to sway again. His aura instantly weakened, as if his cultivation was rapidly dissipating.
The brilliant golden core within him began to lose its luster.
Seeing this, Cang Gu’s eyes flashed. He spoke again: “Senior, it is time for you to go!”
“Juniors, this seat has decided to drag you this saint…”
As True Person Yunting spoke, the dim golden core within him suddenly blazed with brilliant light again. But before he could finish, a massive black vortex appeared behind him, instantly swallowing his entire body!
What?!
Cang Gu’s eyes widened. Then he saw a figure emerge from the thunder.
As Mo Fan stepped out of the thunder, the violent lightning around him gradually dissipated.
He closed his mouth, ending his divine ability, ignoring True Person Yunting’s screams in his inner space, and looked gravely at the iron tower cultivator opposite him.
Or rather, Cang Gu!
Seeing Mo Fan, Cang Gu’s originally calm gaze gradually sharpened.
The two stared at each other for a while, neither speaking.
Finally, Cang Gu’s gaze calmed again. He casually put away his silver spear, stroked his chin stubble, and grinned at Mo Fan: “Well, I thought you were dead. Didn’t expect you to still be alive?”
“Thanks to you, I can’t die just yet!”
Mo Fan said indifferently, sensing the restrained powerful aura on Cang Gu, and sneered: “But fortunately I’m not dead, or someone might have snatched the spoils.”
“Listen to you, fellow Daoist. Am I, Cang Gu, that kind of person?”
Cang Gu coughed dryly twice to cover his embarrassment, then looked at the thunder mark on Mo Fan’s brow and smiled: “It seems your constitution is related to thunder. That explains it—no wonder you survived that terrifying thunder prison.
If True Person Yunting knew this, his intestines would turn green with regret!”
“I’m leaving.”
Mo Fan ignored the guy. From the recent events, he could tell Cang Gu was an opportunist—being with such a person was undoubtedly dangerous.
True Person Yunting was truly powerful. Mo Fan knew his punch had only severely injured him, not destroyed his vital energy.
But Cang Gu had extinguished it with one spear thrust!
If not for the golden core locking the dissipating vital energy, True Person Yunting would have died directly from that spear.
This showed how terrifying Cang Gu was!
This guy was far from as simple as he appeared.
“By the way, don’t follow me. I think it’s best we keep some distance.”
With that, Mo Fan used Earth Escape and vanished.
“What an interesting guy!”
Cang Gu watched Mo Fan disappear, a trace of interest in his eyes.
He had indeed intended to act earlier, but the opponent always emitted an extremely dangerous aura, making Cang Gu wary. This was why he ultimately held back.
“But is this kid really a Demon King?”
“Why does he feel like just a Demon General…”
Cang Gu murmured, stroking his chin, puzzled.
Soon, he furrowed his brows again, looking up at the sky.
The barrier that had enveloped the entire island was slowly dissipating…
The barrier was broken!
…
Ten Thousand Great Mountains, Southern Border.
In a ruined area, many demons were rummaging through the rubble. Not far away sat a black bear demon.
The black bear demon held a whip, shouting at the demons in the ruins: “Hurry up for this general! Search those nooks and crannies too. If you find anything useful, this general will reward a spirit herb!”
“General, rest assured, we will search thoroughly and not miss any spot!”
A little demon looked up, revealing large buck teeth, fawningly flattering the black bear demon.
“Damn it, Big Bucktooth, shut your mouth for this king!”
“Seeing those big buck teeth ruins this king’s appetite for dinner!”
The black bear demon cursed, then saw a bird demon dive from the sky.
“Bang!”
“Ow!”
The bird demon collided head-on with the black bear demon, bouncing into a nearby rubble pile with a yelp.
“Damn it, so reckless—what decency!”
The black bear demon raged, waving his hand. Rolling demonic power surged, forming a black stream that yanked the bird demon back.
The bird demon was dazed, having been thrown hard.
“Smack!”
The black bear demon slapped the bird demon’s face, jolting it awake.
“Gen… General!”
The bird demon saw the black bear demon’s face and was startled, then seemed to remember something and shouted: “General, bad news—human cultivators are coming!”
“Human cultivators?”
“All cultivators in this region were long exterminated by War Wolf King. Where would more come from? If you dare toy with this general, I’ll make you into a feast and eat you!” the black bear demon said viciously.
“General, this little demon wouldn’t dare lie—it’s true!”
The bird demon was on the verge of tears, then suddenly widened its eyes, pointing behind the black bear demon in terror: “Th-they’re here!”
Hm?
The black bear demon narrowed his eyes, grinning ferociously: “Perfect. Males for the feast, females to warm the bed!”
Saying this, he turned and indeed saw several hooded gray-robed figures approaching from afar, incredibly fast, reaching the ruins’ edge in a few steps.
“Is this the place?”
One gray-robed person spoke, voice extremely hoarse.
“According to that wolf king’s memory earlier, it should be here—no mistake!”
Another gray-robed person nodded, then looked up, revealing green eyes from under the wide gray hood.
“Human cultivators, you have such audacity…”
Before the black bear demon could finish, his entire body floated into the air, bound by an invisible force, instantly pulled before the gray-robed group.
Even at close range, he could not see their faces.
“Tell me, is this the former site of Dahe Academy?”
A gray-robed person spoke, strange green light in their eyes.
Soon, the black bear demon’s eyes turned green too, murmuring: “Yes, this is the former site of Dahe Academy…”
“The general is held by these human cultivators—everyone attack, kill them!!”
The bird demon shouted upon seeing this, drawing the attention of the demons in the ruins. They bared ferocious expressions and charged at the gray-robed group.
Moments later, all demon cultivators were slaughtered. The gray-robed group came to a spot in the ruins, waving a hand to scatter all the earth, wood, and stones, revealing a massive array diagram beneath.
“This is it—the place where Witch Demon Dragon Lord was imprisoned back then!”
At that moment, deep underground, a handsome youth sitting cross-legged on a massive dragon corpse skull suddenly opened his eyes!
