At the summit of a large mountain, Wang Yan's face was filled with solemnity.
He sensed a deadly danger; if he dared to take another step forward, he would surely die.
"Is this Mount Yunmeng?"
Looking at the giant peak ahead, mostly obscured by clouds and mist, Wang Yan decided to wait patiently.
There is a suspension bridge connecting the two mountains, clearly designed for people to cross.
But this person is very particular.
Ordinary people without cultivation can do it, and so can those who are chosen, but people like Wang Yan cannot, and demons and monsters certainly cannot.
According to the plot, one can only enter the alchemy furnace in Mount Yunmeng when it emits green smoke and Yuan Gong ascends to heaven to report on his duties.
Wang Yan has been waiting here for more than half a month, and he doesn't know how much longer he will have to wait.
"Boss, when is Yuan Gong finally going to ascend to heaven? I've been waiting forever!"
A bald, burly man kept muttering to himself, looking extremely agitated.
This is Wang Yan's newly recruited teammate. He has good cultivation, but his personality is very reckless.
However, with him keeping things under control, they can't cause any trouble; on the contrary, they can be used to their fullest potential.
After all, a Brute who obeys is far more useful than a clever person who disobeys.
"Wait patiently, there's no use in rushing."
Wang Yan took out two fruits from his spatial ring and casually tossed one to the Brute.
"Hehe, thanks, boss!"
The simple-minded Brute smiled and obediently sat down to play the game console.
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Wang Yan, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, and a piece of parchment flew out of his arms.
What's going on?
Wang Yan frowned deeply. This was a treasure he had obtained by chance, containing all the laws of nature and capable of forming its own world.
He used vast resources, with the help of the Eternal Life Heavenly Palace, to unknowingly imprison Xu Long inside, and now, after just over a month, problems have arisen?
The treasure is powerful, but it's not Wang Yan can fully control.
At this point, it flew out on its own, which clearly indicated that a very serious problem had arisen.
Sizzle!
A dazzling light suddenly burst forth, and the once bright sky instantly darkened.
A violent energy surge suddenly erupted, shearing off hundreds of meters from the entire mountain peak.
How is that possible?
Wang Yan was utterly shocked. This was the world of Secrets of the Heavenly Book, and right across from it lay the legendary Mount Yunmeng, where immortals were said to reside. How could it be destroyed so easily?
Could it be that this sheepskin possesses world-destroying power?
Instead of trying to control the parchment scroll, Wang Yan led the Brute in a rapid retreat.
The situation is now beyond his control.
The most important thing now is to save our lives; we can deal with everything else later.
The situation Wang Yan had imagined did not occur. The dazzling light slowly faded, and a figure appeared before him.
This is a woman, alluring and charming, with graceful bearing.
Willow-leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, cherry lips.
Her skin was like solidified cream, and her arms were like lotus roots and scallions.
At first glance, it can make one feel momentarily disoriented.
This is no longer just about temperament and appearance; it has penetrated to the very core of one's being and is integrated into one's strength.
Lian'er opened her eyes, her expression completely bewildered.
Her delicate brows were slightly furrowed, and her face was full of sorrow; she was truly a sight to behold.
Combined with her stunningly beautiful face, she was enough to instantly defeat anyone with a weak will.
Where is this place?
Lian'er's memory was still stuck on the great battle not long ago, when the entire Youzhou was turned into a meat grinder, and countless demons and kings died tragically on the spot.
She fled with a dozen or so sycophantic foxes, hoping to escape that dangerous place.
With Lian'er's cultivation level, as long as she doesn't encounter a master of the patriarch level, she can go anywhere in the world.
However, to her utter surprise, a fireball suddenly fell, instantly incinerating her body.
When I regained consciousness, I found myself here.
"Wow, what a beautiful girl! If I could play with her for a few days, I'd gladly give up even a minute of my life!"
The Brute wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, feeling like he was about to sink into it.
Lian'er was truly beautiful to the extreme; even with the Brute's cultivation and self-control, he simply couldn't resist her.
However, Brute is still Brute, and his way of doing things is very simple.
When faced with difficulties, confront them head-on; when encountering women, argue fiercely.
No matter how beautiful she is, no matter what her status is, just criticize her.
The deeper the love, the harsher the rebuke.
Let's deal with other things after we've finished arguing.
Do not act rashly.
Wang Yan stopped the Brute's actions and asked, "What's your name? Where are you from?"
"My name is Hu Meier... I live in Chang'an..."
Seeing the two people in front of her and feeling the terrifying sense of crisis they brought, Lian'er chose to use a false name and a false address.
She needed to figure out where she was and what had happened before.
Of course, she wanted to kill Xu Long even more to avenge the Tushan Clan.
" Hu Meier?"
Upon hearing Lian'er's words, both Wang Yan and the Brute's eyes lit up.
Their mission in entering the Secrets of the Heavenly Book is to protect the three foxes: Holy Auntie, Hu Meier, and Hu Chuer.
Then came the Heavenly Book and Dansheng.
The subordinates and clones they sent out searched everywhere for more than a month, but they couldn't find a single trace, or even any relevant information. Unexpectedly, they found it here.
"This Hu Meier came out of the parchment, could it be that Holy Auntie and Hu Chuer were inside as well?"
Wang Yan pondered for a moment, but still chose to try and get closer to Lian'er.
Oh, now she should be Hu Meier!
Wang Yan was extremely handsome, with a tall and upright figure and an excellent temperament, making him hundreds of times better than the Brute next to him.
In addition, his high level of cultivation and his proactive gestures of goodwill pleased Hu Meier, who was eager to learn about her surroundings.
So the two got together, and their relationship quickly escalated.
Although the mountain on this side was bombed, there were no Red Spider Lily on Mount Yunmeng, and even the suspension bridge connecting the two mountains was exactly the same as before.
At first, Wang Yan thought it would attract Yuan Gong's attention, leading to him taking action or issuing a warning.
However, he underestimated Yuan Gong's magnanimity, or perhaps Yuan Gong simply didn't take him seriously.
Half a day passed, and another violent fluctuation occurred.
Having previous experience, Wang Yan threw the parchment away, while he led Hu Meier and the Brute back quickly.
Sure enough, everything was exactly the same as when Hu Meier appeared.
But this time it wasn't one person, it was two.
One had an aged face and a frail physique, while the other was incredibly handsome and exuded an aura of dominance.
It was none other than the old fox from the Tushan Clan and Xu Long!
"I guessed right, we were indeed tricked."
Xu Long chuckled and scanned the area with his mental power, spotting Wang Yan and Hu Meier not far away, as well as the old fox beside them.
"What a small world! I never expected it was you who was plotting against me!"
Xu Long chuckled softly, and the Azure Firmament Celestial Star Formation Diagram appeared behind him, with nine stars slowly rotating.
The World-Breaking Blade, however, had already appeared in his hand.
As the saying goes, hesitation leads to trouble. The Divine Hall and the Heavenly Palace are enemies, and he and Wang Yan have long been sworn enemies.
Since that's the case, there's no need to waste time or say anything unnecessary.
However, before the battle began, Xu Long casually tried to see if he could put the parchment away.
He used an upgraded version of the Eight Gates Yang-Locking Formation, gathering the power of all the kings and nobles as well as some demons, to tear a hole in that world and escape.
Wang Yan, the Brute, Hu Meier, and the old fox were all here, along with a piece of parchment floating in the air. After seeing these, he roughly understood what was going on.
Wang Yan used some method to trap him inside the parchment, and after he sensed something was wrong, he tried to break it open.
During this process, the old fox was controlled by him, but he awoke at the last moment and then escaped using some unknown method.
The parchment must be the carrier of that world, because Xu Long sensed the fluctuations of the Eight Gates Yang-Locking Formation on it and also saw a clear opening.
As for Lian'er, who is now Hu Meier, who knows what her situation is?
The parchment, pulled by Xu Long's power, actually flew over.
Xu Long was surprised. Wang Yan had used this thing to trap him, which showed what kind of treasure it was.
Shouldn't something as precious as this find its own owner?
Why did he just casually put it away?
Could it be a scam?
Xu Long probed into it with his mental power and discovered that it wasn't Wang Yan had set up a restriction, but rather that this thing couldn't recognize a master; whoever got it owned it.
"Ha, this is really good stuff, I got a bargain."
Xu Long chuckled, put the parchment away, and then swung his sword to strike.
laugh!
The sword flashed and arrived in front of Wang Yan in an instant.
As a master who could fight Xu Long and escape unscathed, Wang Yan is arguably unparalleled in history, if not unmatched in the future.
He is currently the only one who has survived, although he was mainly rescued by the Eternal Life Heavenly Palace.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing Xu Long attack, Wang Yan roared and quickly dodged.
Having personally experienced the terror of that power, he naturally knew what to do.
But Brute is different!
He's used to being reckless; he'll fight any attack head-on.
If you sense extreme danger, you'll definitely try to avoid it.
He's not stupid, he's just reckless.
The problem now is that he can't sense any presence at all.
He glanced at Wang Yan with some doubt; the other's face was solemn, clearly indicating that he knew the enemy was extremely powerful.
Therefore, the Brute decided to hide.
Unfortunately, in that moment of Kung Fu Hustle, his only fate was death.
The sword light suddenly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was already behind the Brute.
Xu Long distorted space, changing the direction of his originally forward-facing attack, all to deal with this enemy he was meeting for the first time.
He is very strong; he can overpower Wang Yan in a direct confrontation.
But to become the latter's teammate, one must be no ordinary person.
Because neither the Eternal Life Heavenly Palace nor Wang Yan would consider such cannon fodder.
Indeed, this was the case. Although the Brute was reckless, his cultivation had reached the Mahayana Stage, and ninety percent of his power was concentrated in his physical body.
Even a high-grade spiritual weapon couldn't break through his defenses, let alone the World-Breaking Blade, which was only low-grade.
However, the Brute was ultimately too arrogant and conceited. The sharpness of the World-Breaking Blade is not determined by its level. It can even shatter space itself, let alone the physical body.
Furthermore, what attacked him was a sword light formed from the Power of Oblivion.
This is the strongest power in the Three Realms, without exception.
Even Wang Yan, who possessed the Law of Space-Time, had to temporarily retreat from its peak. Did he really think his mere tempered physical body was invincible?
laugh!
The sword flashed and pierced straight through the Brute's chest.
The next instant, the Power of Oblivion began to erode his flesh and blood.
In less than two breaths, the Brute vanished completely, leaving nothing behind.
[Defeat a member of the Eternal Life Heavenly Palace! Obtain a trace of Spirit Rhyme!]
The voice of the Main God sounded, but Xu Long remained completely unmoved.
Brute is just Brute; kill as many of these kinds of people as come.
The real challenge is Wang Yan, the face of this Eternal Life Heavenly Palace.
"You actually managed to escape!"
Seeing his subordinates killed, Wang Yan's eyes widened in fury.
The power of the Law of Space-Time appeared, blocking the sword light while also binding Xu Long.
However, Xu Long had already learned this lesson the hard way, and he wouldn't make the same mistake twice.
The Power of Oblivion protected his body, immediately neutralizing the power of the Law of Space-Time.
"Actually, escaping isn't difficult; the difficulty lies in noticing something amiss."
Xu Long chuckled. "A completely real world, a world teeming with demons and evil spirits, a world remarkably similar to this place—it's difficult to detect anything amiss. And even if you do, you can't prove your suspicions. However, besides combat, I'm also proficient in divination. I can't find the location of those three foxes, nor can I find where Mount Yunmeng is. Under these circumstances, things are quite strange."
"I see!"
Wang Yan nodded, realizing that he had ultimately underestimated Xu Long.
"It's a pity I couldn't fully control that parchment, otherwise I could have crafted an even more perfect lie."
"What is this thing? It's incredibly strange; it's a world unto itself, and time flows much faster here. If one were to cultivate inside, the efficiency would be greatly enhanced."
Xu Long fiddled with the parchment and asked.
"I don't know what it is either, not even the Eternal Life Heavenly Palace. Otherwise, you wouldn't have escaped."
Wang Yan snorted, his expression extremely unpleasant.
Although I don't know the origin of the parchment, it's definitely a valuable treasure.
Falling into Xu Long's hands at this moment is as painful as having one's wife played with.
If Wang Yan weren't unsure of his ability to kill Xu Long, he would have already made his move.
"It doesn't matter if I don't know. Now that it's in my hands, I'll have plenty of time to study it later."
Having said that, Xu Long raised the World-Breaking Blade, unleashing a torrent of killing intent. "Now, are you ready to die?"
"Who will live and who will die is still uncertain!"
Wang Yan wasn't one to mince words; knowing he couldn't avoid this battle, he decided to fight to the bitter end.
boom!
A terrifying power erupted, and the two immediately clashed.
Seemingly sensing the unusual situation at Mount Yunmeng, both of them consciously moved away from Mount Yunmeng.
After all, Yuan Gong is a true Kami. In the original story, he was able to push down Mount Yunmeng and crush the three foxes to death. Now, he might also take action and kill the two of them.
Therefore, adhering to the principle of being cautious, both of them made a choice based on their own hearts.
Boom boom boom!
Power of Oblivion and the Law of Space-Time, the former is superior, but Wang Yan's power is simply too profound.
The terrifying shockwave shattered the mountains into Powder, reducing everything in its path to pulverization.
As for the two foxes, one old and one young, they had long since disappeared.
