Seeing that ordinary methods could not slay the "Mountain Spirits," the Corpse Dao Devil Master directly manifested his demonic origin, transforming into a Corpse Forest that suppressed both Mountain Spirits.
Riding the Kunpeng Dharma Aspect, Liang Zhaohuang watched the Mountain Spirits' battle from high above. The surrounding mountain ranges stirred as one, like colossal dragons and pythons slithering and coiling around each other. Vast clouds of earthen-yellow energy surged up, engulfing the Corpse Forest in an attempt to destroy it.
However, the two Mountain Spirits had only been nurtured into existence a few years ago. Their strength had not truly broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm. At present, they could only mobilize the power of heaven and earth from the surrounding mountains and earth veins; they were unable to wield the power of laws.
Thus, they had been unable to break through that Corpse Forest demonic domain. Instead, the demonic origin power circulating within it continuously eroded, warped, and tainted them with demonic corruption, causing the surrounding mountains and earth veins to gradually show signs of collapse and ruin.
Seeing this, Liang Zhaohuang knew that this was likely the limit of the two Mountain Spirits' current power. Within the Azure Roc Mountains, relying on the advantageous terrain of its mountains and earth veins, they could mobilize vast and terrifying power of heaven and earth. Working together, they could temporarily hold back an early-stage Devil Master of the fourth rank.
But once the battle dragged on, or the Devil Master erupted with his "demonic origin power" and began fighting desperately, the two Mountain Spirits would find themselves stretched thin.
Although they could still trap the Corpse Dao Devil Master for a while, they did so at the cost of heavily draining the foundations of the surrounding mountains and earth veins.
