"Snap!"

The crisp sound of breaking came belatedly.

Only then did everyone see that there was an almost completely transparent Spiritual Power Barrier in front of You Zhong True Monarch.

However, a gap the size of a palm was clearly visible in the middle of the barrier, causing the entire barrier to shatter.

No one could have imagined that this would happen.

You Zhong True Monarch struck first, launching a surprise attack without warning using a sonic Secret Method.

The next nearly one breath should have been his time to act as a hunter and attack freely.

To everyone's surprise, Xiao Chen was completely unaffected by the Sonic Wave Impact.

Not only was he not stunned, but he was even able to retaliate immediately.

If that were all, You Zhong True Monarch would have been prepared and could have blocked it with Spiritual Power Barrier.

But he never expected that Xiao Chen, a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, was a junior who was a whole realm lower than him.

It was able to break through the Spiritual Power Barrier in an instant, leaving him no time to summon a spiritual shield to defend himself.

Let alone Nascent Soul Middle Stage, even a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator might not be able to achieve this.

"Such powerful Fire Spiritual Power! Such terrifying control!"

Lie Que True Monarch was almost speechless. "To actually compress such a massive amount of Fire Spiritual Power into a mere foot or so, thereby achieving extreme destructive power!"

Heng Yi True Monarch's eyes also flashed. "Such power should rank among the top even among Heaven-Grade Technique."

"They are likely direct descendants of High Antiquity lineage, but it's unclear which sect they belong to."

Heaven-grade Spell cannot be generalized.

Some Law Technique are rated as Heavenly because of their powerful effects.

Some Law Technique are only rated as Heaven-level because that's the highest level they can reach.

In Heng Yi True Monarch's view, Xiao Chen was using Secret Method that was among the most advanced even in the Heaven-grade Spell.

This shows that the Yin Corpse Sect is in big trouble.

Yang Jiu True Monarch obviously realized this instantly as well.

He immediately flicked his sleeve, summoning a precious mirror that floated above his head, emitting a ring of spiritual light to protect himself.

Then, with a slight twitch of his fingertips, he produced a talisman and stuck it behind the magic mirror with a 'snap'.

Instantly, the already powerful spiritual light intensified by three times, forming an incredibly solid defensive line.

After making sufficient defensive preparations.

Yang Jiu True Monarch then took a fist-sized cloth bag from his waist.

Then, with a fierce glint in his eyes, he looked at Xiao Chen and said, "No wonder you're so arrogant and domineering; you do have some skill after all."

"But what I shouldn't have done was provoke the Yin Corpse Sect!"

"Myriad Poison Corpse Puppet, go!"

As he spoke, Yang Jiu True Monarch raised his right hand and shook the bag downwards.

Nine streams of black mist emerged from it, instantly transforming into nine hideous Corpse Puppet.

Their entire bodies are dark green, and just by standing in the air, they taint the surrounding air and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power with green toxins.

Before long, a light green poisonous fog formed.

At the same time, each Corpse Puppet exuded a pressure no less than that of the fourth rank.

Among them were three even more robust-looking Corpse Puppet, which had already reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Such a terrifying reserve immediately stunned all the True Lord watching, who then looked at each other in horror.

As everyone knows, the Yin Corpse Sect is famous for its Corpse Puppet.

Therefore, people like Yang Jiu True Monarch should possess Nascent Soul Stage Corpse Puppet.

But no one could have imagined that he would have so many!

Even if these are just Corpse Puppet and not true True Lord, aren't there just too many of them?

With such a rich heritage, it's no wonder that it would breed ambitions for external expansion.

"Fourth Senior Brother!"

The Fiend Refining True Monarch had already summoned his spiritual shield and cast an additional Defensive Spell to condense a jet-black armor on his body before letting out a sorrowful cry.

"Tracking and Tracing!"

The Bone Offering True Monarch beside him also took precautions, then raised his right palm, covered his eyes with his hand, and shouted Mnemonic.

With a flick of his left hand towards Xiao Chen, a gray light appeared.

The light was as fast as lightning, instantly piercing through the Four Symbols Suppressing Mountain Shield and landing on Xiao Chen. Then, after a sudden flash, it vanished without a trace.

"Heavenly Star Devil Lord, you have fallen under my Heart Chasing Tracking Curse!"

Upon seeing this Bone Offering True Monarch's face lit up with joy. "Even if you have a thousand wonderful methods today, don't think about escaping like last time."

"No matter where you run, I will find you and avenge our fellow disciples."

Last time they failed to use tracking Law Technique in time, but this time they absolutely won't give them another chance.

It is worth mentioning that this is also one of the differences between sect cultivators and independent cultivators.

When independent cultivators travel, they usually act alone, but one person's strength is ultimately limited.

Sect cultivators, on the other hand, can cooperate with each other.

Just like the Yin Corpse Sect at this moment, the Yang Jiu True Monarch was responsible for facing the enemy head-on and Law Technique attacks; Bone Offering True Monarch consciously took on the responsibility of assisting from the side and continuously tracking them.

Most of the time, this kind of combination is very effective.

But to Xiao Chen, it made him want to laugh.

You don't still think I was the one who should have run away, do you?

These people from the Yin Corpse Sect truly exemplify the saying—they don't even realize they're about to die.

Since that's the case, let them see clearly what the situation really is.

"Mountain Burning Palm!"

Xiao Chen immediately used his fourth palm technique, which was more effective at simultaneously attacking multiple enemies.

In an instant, orange-yellow Spirit Fire descended from the sky, bringing the nine-headed Corpse Puppet and the other three members of the Yin Corpse Sect into its attack range.

The raging flames instantly transformed into a vast sea of fire, almost engulfing the entire mountain where the Yin Corpse Sect was located.

A few sparks flew, and the nearby pavilions and towers were all set ablaze.

"Young friend, leave immediately!"

Withered Leaf True Monarch immediately deployed a Spiritual Power Barrier to block the aftershocks that were spreading in all directions, and did not forget to remind Ling Tianyi beside him.

They both originally intended to lend a helping hand.

As a result, he was Sonic Wave Impact shock and remained motionless on the spot.

Just as he was regaining some consciousness and preparing his defenses, he felt an overwhelming surge of Fire Qi approaching.

Suddenly, I felt hot and bothered.

Withered Leaf True Monarch Canye immediately realized that there was almost no room for them to intervene in this level of combat.

This is mainly because they lacked prior experience in coordinated operations.

If you rush in to help, you're more likely to make things worse.

Perhaps it's better to step back for now and decide whether to rush back in to help once the situation warrants it.

Ling Tianyi, with his abundant experience in combat, naturally understood the meaning without needing further explanation.

He immediately stepped back, his eyes fixed almost intently on the center, a multitude of thoughts swirling in his mind.

On one hand, he hoped that Xiao Chen could directly eliminate the members of the Yin Corpse Sect and suppress these demonic cultivators.

On the other hand, he hoped that Xiao Chen would be at a slight disadvantage, so that he could have a chance to make a move.

On the one hand, he felt that his previous thought was extremely selfish.

On the other hand, he genuinely wanted to use the Demon Slaying Sword to truly fight against demonic cultivators and Exterminate Demons and Defend the Dao.

With various thoughts mixed together, Ling Tianyi's mood became extremely complicated.

"Sizzle! Sizzle!"

Under the raging flames, the light green poisonous mist was almost instantly evaporated.

Even the nine Corpse Puppet that had just been released were forced to emit thick, dark green smoke.

Unlike the three members of the Yin Corpse Sect, they couldn't hide behind a spirit shield.

Therefore, once surrounded by the blazing flames, they immediately began to melt, just like snowmen.

"Myriad Poisons Grand Array, activate!"

Yang Jiu True Monarch immediately activated the Corpse Puppet formation and threw out a Talisman in an attempt to suppress the flames.

The Talisman floated down above the Nine Corpse Puppets and instantly exploded, forming a large cloud of frost.

It was a relatively rare Ice Element Talisman.

In a normal battle of wits, this would be nothing more than a matter of responding to each move as it comes.

Since you're using Fire Element Spell to create high temperatures, I'll use Ice Element Law Technique to lower them.

But the next moment...

Yang Jiu True Monarch watched in disbelief as the orange-yellow Spirit Fire ignited the entire mass of frost.

The Talisman he originally used to lower the temperature of the Corpse Puppet has now become part of the fuel, like adding fuel to the fire.

Suddenly, I received a large surge of Spiritual Power.

The already powerful Spirit Fire surged even more fiercely, its power increasing threefold.

The Nine Corpse Puppets originally had some ability to resist.

As a result, the array drew away some of its power, and then it was suddenly subjected to even stronger temperatures.

Unable to resist any longer, it fell like snowflakes into a pot of boiling oil, instantly turning into rising dark green steam, and then being completely dried out.

In the blink of an eye, they completely vanished from the world.

It was as if they had never existed.

"Crackling!"

Fortunately, there was another side; the Spirit Shield of the Fiend Refining True Monarch was crackling and popping under the high temperature, reminding everyone what was going on.

Shu Yu True Monarch glanced in that direction following the sound.

As a result, his eyeballs almost popped out.

The spirit shield, which was originally brass-colored, was now completely glowing red.

It felt like stepping back into the forge of a weapon refiner.

It had even begun to deform slightly, no wonder it made a crackling sound; the pressure it was under was simply too great.

Given this situation, it's no longer a question of winning or losing.

The real question is how much longer the Yin Corpse Sect can hold out.

To be honest, Shu Yu True Monarch regretted it. She shouldn't have sided with the Yin Corpse Sect so quickly; if only she could have delayed it for a little longer.

It's a pity that we saw the other side send four True Lord at once, which showed them great sincerity and put pressure on us.

This led her to agree to the collaboration without giving it a few more days to consider it.

Even if you wanted to back out now, it's probably too late.

"If we're going to do it, we might as well go all the way!"

Shu Yu True Monarch gritted her teeth, took out a long flute, and played the "Falling Snow Song".

As the name suggests, this is an Ice Element piece of music that can create a scene of heavy snowfall between heaven and earth, while also bringing a large amount of Cold Current.

Weaker enemies will be frozen in place.

Even the strongest can be affected by the Cold Current, causing them to move slowly and their Spiritual Power circulation to slow down.

The most ingenious aspect is that, because it is a piece of music, it can directly affect the speed of the circulation of true essence within the bodies of nearby cultivators through Defensive Spell.

The only drawback is that we haven't had time to engage in in-depth cooperation with the Yin Corpse Sect.

Therefore, when she sang "Falling Snow Song," it affected everyone present without discrimination.

"What?"

Those Che Guang True Monarch were slightly closer felt the stagnation in their true energy and their expressions immediately changed.

He was already several miles away, so why was he still so obviously affected?

If they were closer, wouldn't it be even more terrifying?

Azure Firmament True Monarch seemed to be used to it, and his expression did not change much.

The main reason was that the Heavenly Sound Sect of the Five Thunder Temple was nearby, and he had experienced the <Falling Snow Song> more than once when he was young.

Of course, he still felt a bit emotional.

Compared to the previous one, Shu Yu True Monarch's mastery of this Law Technique has clearly improved even further.

Right now, those people in the middle of the battlefield probably have less than half their true energy circulating.

In fact, the impact varies from person to person.

Both the Fiend Refining True Monarch and the Bone Offering True Monarch felt a chilling aura enter their bodies, causing their true essence to feel as if it were about to freeze.

Because of his high cultivation level, Yang Jiu True Monarch was much stronger than them, and he only noticed that the flow of his true essence was about 10% slower.

Xiao Chen was the primary target of the attack.

He felt almost nothing.

In fact, the <Falling Snow Song> had already significantly reduced his true energy circulation speed, but the problem was that he had Hextech Buff.

What's the difference between a turnover speed of 100 times and a turnover speed of slightly more than 99 times?

In terms of magical combat, since the power level is already significantly exceeded, a little more or less will have no impact.

Shu Yu True Monarch's attempt to influence him in this way is simply wishful thinking.

Even if the founder of the original "Falling Snow Song" were to come in person, he would reduce the flow of true essence of those present by 90%.

Xiao Chen can still outpace ordinary True Lord by a full ten times!

Moreover, since Shu Yu True Monarch Shuyu is not that powerful, it has absolutely no impact on him.

However, the actual effectiveness is one thing.

This action itself indicates that she is no longer just making things difficult for the Yin Corpse Sect, but has directly participated in the battle.

Sure enough, at the same time the flute music started...

The Mountain Protecting Grand Array of the Heavenly Sound Sect also shone with an even brighter light.

The Formation Power array gathered together, half of which remained in front of Shu Yu True Monarch for protection, while the other half rushed to Xiao Chen's side, forming layers of suppression.

Suddenly, all sorts of restrictions appeared around him.

For example, preventing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from gathering near him.

For example, Anti-Air Restriction be created to prevent him from continuing to fly through the air.

For example, the suppression and restrictions were created to make him feel as if he were carrying a small mountain on his back.

Faced with this situation, without the help of a magical artifact to break the formation, things will inevitably become very troublesome.

After all, even the most powerful Nascent Soul Cultivator would find it extremely difficult to directly confront Fourth-Order Mountain Protecting Grand Array presided over by another Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Because in this way, he is actually fighting against hundreds of meticulously crafted Array Foundation.

He was actually fighting against hundreds or even thousands of fourth-tier spiritual materials and the Formation Pattern inscribed on them.

He was actually fighting against tens of thousands of Mid-Grade Spirit Stone within the Mountain Protecting Grand Array.

Moreover, the three True Lord of the Yin Corpse Sect are now eyeing the area covetously.

Under the control of Shu Yu True Monarch, they were not subject to any restrictions from the great formation.

"Damn it, the Heavenly Sound Sect has actually colluded with the Yin Corpse Sect in secret!"

Withered Leaf True Monarch's expression immediately changed. "What should we do now?"

With the Mountain Protecting Grand Array in place, the situation was reversed in an instant.

Xiao Chen's location was too deep, almost adjacent to the Main Peak of Wonderful Sound Mountain.

Therefore, even if one wants to break through, it requires a considerable journey.

Normally, it would only take a few breaths.

But today, it would probably be an incredibly long process, even to the point of being like a dragon trapped in shallow waters.

"Fellow Daoist Shuyu, what are you trying to do!"

Ling Tianyi roared, "The Yin Corpse Sect has already degenerated into the Demonic Sect. Are you going to aid and abet this evil?"

"Or is it that the Heavenly Sound Sect has also strayed into the demonic path, and you intend to become enemies of the righteous path of the world!"

Upon hearing this, Shu Yu True Monarch's heart trembled.

Neither she nor the Heavenly Sound Sect could bear the reputation of being enemies of the righteous path of the world.

But the more she acted this way, the more ruthless she became.

You're all forcing me, aren't you? Then don't blame me for really joining the demonic path!

Therefore, when faced with Ling Tianyi's accusations, she simply chose to turn a deaf ear and pretend she hadn't heard anything.

"Hmph, they're practically courting death!"

Seeing this Azure Firmament True Monarch snorted coldly, "She dared to openly help the Demonic Sect today. It won't be long before the Heavenly Sound Sect is wiped out of the Inner Sea."

This would be a good thing for the Five Thunder Temple.

Even for the sake of balance, it is not possible to directly take control of the Cloud Pool Sea.

At that time, we can also take advantage of the opportunity to fight against the Demonic Sect sect to seize several important resource Stronghold and greatly enhance our strength.

"But I'm afraid Daoist Xiao is in danger."

Che Guang True Monarch couldn't help but feel worried. "Senior Brother, let's work together to rescue Daoist Xiao."

"Although he acts impulsively, he seems like a good person. Let's hope he doesn't get caught up in this."

Because Che Guang True Monarch was often criticized by his senior brother for acting impulsively and being reckless.

This actually made him feel a little closer to Xiao Chen.

Azure Firmament True Monarch felt it seemed feasible, but cautioned, "Don't rush, our combined strength is insufficient to save them. Let me first inquire with the other fellow Daoists."

As he thought this, he couldn't help but sigh that Xiao Chen was indeed very lucky.

They happened to run into Exchange Meeting, so most of the righteous people were present.

Otherwise, if there were only two or three True Lord outside, they might not be able to help him break through.

After all, if the Yin Corpse Sect were not restricted by the formation, they could easily send two people out to hold them off.

At least four True Lord would need to be willing to take action to create a chance.

However, Azure Firmament True Monarch was unaware that Xiao Chen had no intention of seeking help from outsiders.

He was considering which method he should use to get out of the predicament.

If we're talking about magical items for breaking formations, he actually does have one.

That was the Yellow Stone Spirit Disturbance Formation Flag that we obtained in the cave abode of the Black Iron Venerable.

As long as he activates the Spirit Disturbance Formation Flag, the Heavenly Sound Sect's Mountain Protecting Grand Array will immediately become ineffective.

besides.

Similarly, obtaining the Profound Sect Evil Suppressing Sword Pellet within the cave abode can achieve a similar effect.

All we need to do is activate the sword pellet and kill Shu Yu True Monarch directly.

Based on the power described by the Black Iron Venerable, it even felt like it could take down the three members of the Yin Corpse Sect at the same time.

"But wouldn't it be too wasteful to use them on them?"

Xiao Chen thought for a moment, "Since we've already dismantled quite a few Array Foundation, why don't we try breaking the array first?"

He also had another way to break the formation— Mechanical Grappling Claw.

He kept this move hidden because he was only at the Golden Core at that time.

Now that he has broken through to the True Lord realm, the situation of a child holding gold in the marketplace no longer exists.

Besides, it has already been used in the Compassion Sea, so there is no need to continue hiding it.

So Xiao Chen directly activated the Mechanical Grappling Claw at Shu Yu True Monarch.

Suddenly, an iron chain shot out, ignoring the numerous restrictions, layers of protection, Protective Spiritual Light, and defensive spiritual shields between the two, and directly grabbed the other party.

"Mountain Breaking Palm!"

Xiao Chen had naturally prepared to make his move.

Almost simultaneously with the capture of the person, a large amount of true energy gathered into a palm and slammed down.

"Bang!"

Shu Yu True Monarch's head was smashed to pieces like a watermelon.

The surrounding array suddenly lost its controller, especially the Main Array Flag, which became ownerless and immediately lost its effect.

What is it?

Everyone was stunned.

Just like the shock felt when they first witnessed the Mechanical Grappling Claw on the other side of the Compassion Sea, a series of gasps of astonishment immediately followed.

He could take down a Nascent Soul True Lord with a single palm strike!

Who could withstand this?!

The three members of the Yin Corpse Sect finally panicked.

The Fiend Refining True Monarch and the Bone Offering True Monarch seemed to have already foreseen their fate, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

Only Yang Jiu True Monarch managed to remain somewhat calm.

But he also knew that if this trend continued, they were doomed.

But he simply couldn't understand. "Since you have such strength, why do you still resort to those underhanded schemes?"

Um?

Xiao Chen was taken aback by what he said. What was this guy talking about?

However, Yang Jiu True Monarch was quick-witted, and he instantly realized. "So that's how it is, true skill lies in simplicity!"

"You're deliberately spreading these open schemes to mislead us into misjudging your strength."

"In this way, we can wipe us all out."

"Excellent, excellent, excellent plan indeed!"

Um?

Who is he talking to?

Xiao Chen was truly dumbfounded.

Yang Jiu True Monarch suddenly swung his right hand, plunging it directly into his own chest. "But you don't know, do you? I have already mastered the Blood Demon Great Law."

"Blood Demon Transformation!"

As he spoke, thousands of lacerations suddenly burst open all over his body, spurting out large amounts of blood.

At the same time, accompanied by a large amount of demonic energy visibly leaking out, Yang Jiu True Monarch's aura increased sharply, clearly indicating that he wanted to Incarnation Demon.

Moreover, the demonic energy formed a barrier, ensuring that outsiders could not interfere with the process.

"Oh no, he has truly fallen into demonic possession!"

Ignoring his senior brother's instructions, Che Guang True Monarch immediately activated his Law Technique: "Demon Punishing Thunder!"

Immediately, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck the demonic energy barrier.

However, even the Thunder Method, known for its power, could not budge the barrier in the slightest when faced with the demonic energy that it was supposed to counter.

In this way, the Law Technique of the other True Lord will likely be even less effective.

However, just as disappointment and anxiety began to creep into everyone's hearts, they heard a soft shout.

"Cloud Shattering Mountain Merging Palm!"

In that instant, time seemed to slow down.

Only a glimmer of light appeared in the sky, followed by a deluge of Heavenly Fire.

Pure World Demon Burning!

The Yang Jiu True Monarch, who had not yet completed his transformation, lasted less than a moment before vanishing into nothingness amidst screams.

As for his two Nascent Soul Early Stage, they turned to ashes even before him.

"Whoosh!"

With a flash, Xiao Chen landed on Wonderful Sound Mountain below.

They blocked the sparks drifting down from the sky for the Heavenly Sound Sect's Warehouse.

Looking at the steward hiding within the Warehouse's array, he smiled slightly and said, "Hey, open a door for me."

The other party swiftly lifted the Storeroom Restriction.

Then he knelt on the ground with a thud. "This humble one pays respects to... Demon Burning True Monarch!"

"Welcome, True Lord, to Wonderful Sound Mountain!"
