Four Symbols Seal

"Whoosh—!!"

Gusts of wind howled.

The turbid qi was carried by the wind, billowing and sweeping through the area. Red Cloud watched the miasma churn around him, his mana circulating without pause, ready to respond instantly at the first sign of danger.

Though the mountain was blanketed in miasma, such a harsh environment also nurtured certain special materials.

For example, Turbid Spirit Fruits, Blood Sha Grass, and Turbid Essence.

Turbid Spirit Fruits could temper the body, while Blood Sha Grass could temporarily increase one's strength. Both were treasured medicines favored by Unicorn Earthworm Dragons and could greatly enhance their power.

The pervasive miasma not only muddled one's senses, but even dulled one's perception of time.

After walking through the miasma for an unknown length of time, Red Cloud suddenly noticed that the miasma around him had thinned considerably.

Red Cloud became vigilant. A surge of malice rose in his heart, and in the next instant, he sensed a vicious wind rushing toward him.

Without looking to see what it was, Red Cloud took a step and vanished from where he stood, reappearing a hundred meters away. A gigantic Unicorn Earthworm Dragon had appeared in his original position.

It was a Golden Immortal-level Unicorn Earthworm Dragon.

Roar, roar, roar—

The Unicorn Earthworm Dragon let out thunderous, intimidating roars, and the air itself twisted beneath the terrifying force within them.

Red Cloud looked at the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon that had attacked him. It was enormous, over a thousand zhang long by estimation. He had no idea how it had managed to approach him.

Red Cloud did not dwell on it. All living beings possessed some special abilities that could catch others off guard.

He had even encountered creatures capable of teleportation before. That involved the power of space.

Seeing that its earlier attack had failed to kill Red Cloud, the horn atop the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon's head shot out a streak of blood-red light. The violent crimson light tore through the miasma and hurtled toward Red Cloud.

"Hmph, vile beast!!"

Red Cloud pointed a finger, and a streak of azure mystic light transformed into an azure mountain that crashed down upon the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon.

This was Mountain-Bearing, one of the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiendish Divine Powers that Red Cloud had comprehended. It could bear the weight of a mountain and was a technique for moving mountains.

Mountain-Bearing could draw in a mountain to suppress an enemy. In theory, it could even draw over Buzhou Mountain.

In an instant, an immense and heavy pressure descended upon the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon. It let out a pained howl and looked at Red Cloud in terror, realizing that it was no match for him.

Seeing the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon trying to flee, the corners of Red Cloud's lips curved upward slightly, a glint flashing through his eyes.

Red Cloud shouted sharply and flipped his hand. A wild gale erupted, blowing the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon apart, body and soul.

Then Red Cloud brought out the Qilin Pill and devoured the remains of the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon.

The instant the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon died, the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King, who had been cultivating underground, immediately sensed it keenly.

"Damn it, is there a powerful enemy?"

The Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King realized that this newcomer was not one of those weaklings they could bully at will.

With that thought, the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King emerged from the ground. After determining the direction, he sped toward Red Cloud.

After dealing with another Unicorn Earthworm Dragon, Red Cloud was preparing to continue onward when he suddenly raised his head and looked ahead. A powerful aura was rapidly approaching.

Soon, a colossal creature burrowed out from underground. It was a Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King over ten thousand zhang long.

The Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King lowered his head and looked down at Red Cloud.

The sensation was strange. Though the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King had no eyes, Red Cloud could sense that it was watching him, with no attempt to conceal its malice.

Seeing Red Cloud on the ground, the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King frowned and demanded, "Who are you? Why have you come to the territory of my Unicorn Earthworm Dragon Clan?"

"My name is Red Cloud. I came here to purify the Turbid Fiend in this place and restore it to green mountains and clear waters."

Red Cloud looked at the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King indifferently.

Upon hearing Red Cloud's answer, the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King was first stunned, then his eyes filled with killing intent.

This dangerous land was where the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon Clan depended on for survival. If Red Cloud purified the Turbid Fiend here, where would the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon Clan live?

With the survival of his clan at stake, a trace of viciousness rose in the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King's heart. He let out a low roar, and the Turbid Fiend qi around him surged forth like a raging storm.

"Hmph, you have quite the nerve, spying on my clan's treasured land. Then remain here forever!"

The Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King shouted furiously and opened his mouth, spitting out a muddy yellow pearl that radiated a golden-yellow glow.

The Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King controlled the pearl as it smashed toward Red Cloud like a meteor, its terrifying aura twisting the void.

The magic treasure wielded by the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King had been refined from Earth Vein Fragments. The Earth Vein Fragments Red Cloud had failed to find were essentially all in his possession, which delighted Red Cloud.

"Haha, it came without any effort at all."

Red Cloud immediately brought out the Qilin Pill. A stream of earthy-yellow light swept over the pearl refined from Earth Vein Fragments.

In the next instant, the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King's pearl was swept away by the divine light Red Cloud unleashed through the Qilin Pill.

The Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King's pearl had been swept away by Red Cloud, and even the Primordial Spirit within the treasure was forcibly suppressed.

The Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King was dumbfounded. He had thought that once he brought out the Earth Vein Pearl, he would be able to kill Red Cloud with ease.

Who could have expected that the invincible Earth Vein Pearl would encounter its nemesis? With one sweep from the Qilin Pill, Red Cloud had directly taken away his Earth Vein Pearl.

Seeing this, the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King was so furious that he nearly spat blood. He roared, "Aaargh! You infuriate me!"

The Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King roared at the sky as a terrifying tide of baleful and turbid qi poured forth, gathering in his mouth. Then, an ultimate black light appeared.

The instant the black light appeared, the mere force field leaking from it crushed the earth down to an unknown depth.

Moreover, the black light spewed by the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King even triggered an energy tide that crushed toward Red Cloud.

"Boom! Rumble—!!"

A series of deafening rumbles rang out.

Then a terrifying shockwave erupted, shredding the surrounding miasma to pieces and annihilating everything in its path.

Those weaker Unicorn Earthworm Dragons could not even resist. They were turned into bloody mist by the aftershocks.

Looking at the place ravaged by the black light, a trace of unease rose within the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King, growing ever stronger.

"Why am I so uneasy?"

Gradually, the lingering energy dispersed. The ground had become a blackened wasteland, and even the soil had turned into multicolored glass, faintly radiating scorching heat.

Yet the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King felt no excitement. Instead, his expression immediately darkened. With Red Cloud's cultivation, he should not have been destroyed by an attack like that.

There was only one possibility: his attack had missed, and Red Cloud had evaded it.

Just as this thought flashed through the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King's mind, he discovered that the sky had suddenly darkened.

The Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King looked up and saw an enormous palm seal descending from the heavens. Its terrifying might swept across the firmament, making even his body seem to freeze.

"Four Symbols Seal!"

The Four Symbols were earth, water, wind, and fire—the foundational powers that created the world. This divine seal possessed the power to recreate earth, water, wind, and fire, and to split open heaven and earth.

Red Cloud's voice drifted over faintly, like an evening bell at dawn, leaving the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King dazed.

The Four Symbols Seal suppressed the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King.

Then the phantoms of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise drove the power of the Four Symbols to refine the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King.

The power of the Four Symbols was like a cutting blade. Even the Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King's tough hide and thick flesh could not withstand it, and the sturdy dragon scales covering his body were instantly torn apart.

The Unicorn Earthworm Dragon King struggled in agony, but the Four Symbols Seal generated boundless divine light as a terrifying suppressive force descended upon him.
