The Powerful Swamp Crocodile King
at the same time.
At the Yan Yang Mountain Peak, an elderly cultivator with a pale face, flowing white hair, and wearing a blue Daoist robe emerged from a Bamboo House.
The old cultivator looked at the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl that was fighting its way through the horde of Demon Beast and the dozens of flying boats that were approaching from afar, and a look of relief appeared on his face.
"The Ling Clan family has finally arrived."
Then, he used Sound Amplification Technique and shouted loudly.
"Fellow Daoists in the mountains, our reinforcements have arrived."
"Everyone, follow me and attack with all your might. Don't hold back your skills. Use this to hold back the Demon Beast outside the mountain for our allies and help them enter the mountain."
The sound echoed throughout the entire Yan Sun Mountain.
The cultivators in the mountains all knew the seriousness of the matter and did as instructed, desperately unleashing various attack methods to bombard the more than 200,000 demonic Demon Beast attacking the mountain.
At that moment, the white-haired old cultivator on the Yan Yang Mountain Peak also summoned a magic Law Treasure- level whisk.
This whisk is the "Pure Heart Whisk," the most treasured Law Treasure of Pure Heart Daoist Temple, and the white-haired old man is the Pure Heart Old Daoist of Pure Heart Daoist Temple, who is at the Golden Core Third Layer stage.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the five thousand white whiskers at the tip of the whisk rapidly grew longer, flew out of the mountain, and surged into the horde of Demon Beast.
These five thousand white whiskers, though seemingly soft and slender, were incredibly sharp, easily piercing the heads of Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stage Demon Beast clad in sturdy mud armor.
Despite the fierce attack by more than 8,000 cultivators in Yan Sun Mountain, their achievements were considerable.
Every breath, at least three or four thousand Demon Beast died tragically at their hands.
In just ten breaths, they had killed thirty to forty thousand Demon Beast.
But the good times didn't last long. Suddenly, a huge roar rang out from among the more than 200,000 demonic Demon Beast.
Immediately afterwards, a gigantic crocodile demon, fifty feet in size, covered in a thick layer of black scales, and carrying the pressure of Golden Core, surged out from the depths of a swamp near Mount Ling, stirring up countless Black Mud clumps.
This giant crocodile is the Swamp Crocodile Swamp Crocodile King at the Golden Core Third Layer, from the Swamp Giant Crocodile Clan.
The crocodile gazed at the thirty to forty thousand Qi Training Stage and Foundation Establishment Realm Demon Beast that had perished so tragically on the battlefield in a short time, and its heart burned with rage.
Among those Demon Beast, few were of its own kind.
But those were all his subordinates.
The Muddy Swamp Territory is mostly marshland, and there are not many Demon Beast that can live there.
To replenish the 30,000 to 40,000 Demon Beast lost earlier, the only option is for the Demon Beast in the Muddy Swamp Territory to reproduce and replenish themselves.
This replenishment process will take several years.
A few years is not a long time for it, but now the White Cloud Mountain Range have been invaded by humans.
Several years is enough time to determine the fate of a Golden Core Demon Race.
Under such circumstances, the reduction in the number of its Demon Beast is tantamount to a reduction in its power.
However, the Swamp Crocodile King was at the Golden Core Third Layer, did not make a move immediately. Instead, it turned its head to look at the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl that had charged into the group of Demon Beast behind it, and a hint of fear appeared in its eyes.
Then, it looked up and glanced at the dozens of flying boats in the distant sky.
When it realized that there was only one Golden Core First Layer cultivator on those flying boats, while the other nearly two thousand cultivators were all Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, the fear in its eyes immediately disappeared, replaced by a bloodthirsty joy.
"I never expected that the Master that powerful pearl was just a human Golden Core cultivator at the Golden Core First Layer stage."
"Hahaha!"
"Once I destroy that person and obtain the pearl containing gravity, I will also possess a handy magical Law Artifact."
"That person's flesh and blood are also a nourishing spiritual substance. After I consume that person's flesh and blood, as well as the flesh and blood of that human at the Golden Core Third Layer in Yan Sun Mountain, my chances of breaking through to the Golden Core Fourth Layer stage will be much greater."
Thinking this way, the bloodlust in the eyes of the Swamp Crocodile intensified.
Because Ling Pengyun and the others were far away, it was not good at ranged attacks, but only at physical attacks, making it difficult to attack Ling Pengyun and the others who had not yet gotten close.
In addition, the eight thousand cultivators in Yan Sun Mountain and the Pure Heart Old Daoist posed a greater threat to the Demon Beast horde, so the Swamp Crocodile King put the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl aside for the time being.
It roared at Yan Sun Mountain, then swung its thick tail and swiftly swam through the Black Mud swamp, crashing into Yan Sun Mountain's formation.
Upon seeing this, the Pure Heart Old Daoist in Yan Sun Mountain frowned.
If the Swamp Crocodile King, which possesses immense power, is allowed to crash into the mountain formation, the formation will likely be broken in less than three days.
He quickly activated the five thousand Changbai whiskers conjured by the Third Rank Middle Grade Law Treasure, the Pure Heart Whisk, and coiled them around the Swamp Crocodile's body, binding most of its body and restricting its movement.
Moreover, the white whiskers tightened their grip, and like blades, they gradually cut through the thick black scales on the Swamp Crocodile King's body.
The Swamp Crocodile King had fought with Pure Heart Old Daoist several times before and knew the power of those white whiskers.
It dared not be careless and quickly used the Swamp Giant Crocodile Clan's Innate Spell, "Mystic Scale Armor," and a flash of dark light appeared around its body.
A set of dark black spiritual energy armor gradually emerged from within its scales, blocking all the white whiskers wrapped around its body.
This crocodile king also avoided the pain of having its scales cut open and its flesh penetrated by those five thousand sharp white whiskers.
Then, the Swamp Crocodile King began to exert its strength, swinging its body, trying to break free from the restraints of the white whiskers.
Although the Pure Heart Whisk is of a high grade of mid-level Third Rank Middle Grade, and the white whiskers it conjures are also tough, the Pure Heart Old Daoist is currently injured and cannot fully unleash the power of this Law Treasure.
In addition, the Swamp Crocodile King possessed a robust physique, containing a force of over 500,000 jin (approximately 250,000 kg).
As the crocodile continued to writhe, the white whiskers binding its body gradually became strained, and their shimmering light began to dim.
It probably won't be long before the crocodile tears off those white whiskers.
More than two thousand feet away.
The horizon.
On the Ling Xiao Flying Boat.
Ling Pengyun narrowed his eyes as he gazed at the Swamp Crocodile King displaying its might.
"This crocodile's cultivation level has probably reached the peak of the Golden Core Third Layer, and it is only a matter of time before it breaks through to the Golden Core Fourth Layer stage."
"That is a problem."
Ling Pengyun's expression shifted slightly as he temporarily took control of the forty Cloud Peak Flying Boat behind him. He channeled a massive amount of spiritual energy into those boats, propelling them, along with the Magic Treasure Cone Shape -shaped Ling Xiao Flying Boat he was on, towards Yan Sun Mountain.
Although the distance of more than two thousand feet was far, these flying boats, flying at full speed, arrived outside Yan Sun Mountain in less than a hundred breaths.
During the journey, many Demon Beast launched Law Technique attacks on the Ling Clan's fleet of flying boats.
However, those Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stage Demon Beast were not good at Law Technique attacks, and their power was not strong. They were all easily blocked by the light barrier supported by the Third Rank Low Grade Five Elements Return Origin Grand Array, and could not pose any threat to the flying boat.
As for the Swamp Crocodile at the peak of the Golden Core Third Layer, it is currently being fully entangled by Pure Heart Daoist and is unable to break free.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Ling Clan's flying boat fleet successfully entered the mountain through a large opening in the protective formation of Yan Sun Mountain, and landed on a large flat area halfway up the Yan Sun Mountain.
Several Foundation Establishment Realm Pure Heart Daoist Temple were also brought up at this moment, and arranged for the nearly two thousand Rogue Cultivator brought by the Ling Clan, as well as the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stage cultivators of the Ling Clan, to participate in the battle.
Another Foundation Establishment cultivator invited Ling Pengyun to the mountaintop to meet the Golden Core Elder Qingxin of Qingxin Daoist Temple.
The Yan Yang Mountain Peak.
"I have long heard that Ling Daoyou entered the Golden Core before the age of one hundred. Seeing your vigorous Qi and Blood and energy today, I finally believe that you are truly an outstanding person of our time."
The "Pure Heart Daoist," who had trapped the Swamp Crocodile at the peak of the Golden Core Third Layer stage outside the mountain with the Pure Heart Whisk whisk, noticed Ling Pengyun Ling Pengyun's arrival and spared some attention to greet him.
"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. I only managed to enter the Golden Core by chance and am not worthy of the title of outstanding person."
"Now that our clan has arrived, I wonder what your next move is? Do you intend to stay, or do you plan to find an opportunity to leave this place with your followers?"
Ling Pengyun was not interested in Pure Heart Daoist's flattery, but instead asked a meaningful question.
"I'm sure Ling Daoyou can see that I'm injured. In my current condition, I'm no longer fit for battle."
"Nearly half of our sect's more capable members were lost while expanding into the Autumn Sun Swallow Territory."
"Therefore, I plan to leave this place and return to the heart of Autumn Sun Swallow Territory after helping you, Ling Daoyou, to stabilize the situation."
"As for this mountain, although it is located in the Autumn Sun Swallow Territory occupied by my Pure Heart Daoist Temple, I can decide to lend this sacred mountain to your Lineage as a residence, so that your noble family can better resist the huge group of more than 200,000 Demon Beast outside the mountain."
Pure Heart Daoist was also an experienced Daoist. Knowing Ling Pengyun's meaning, he didn't hide anything and spoke directly.
"Thank you very much then." Ling Pengyun was very satisfied upon hearing this, as this was exactly what he wanted to see.
If Pure Heart Old Daoist stays here, after the group of Demon Beast outside the mountain is wiped out, Pure Heart Old Daoist's side will inevitably get a lot of Spirit Vein from the Muddy Swamp Territory.
