Killing with a Borrowed Knife, Seizing Another Legacy
The alliance ceremony at Storm Mountain ended in chaos and embarrassment.
What should have been a moment for Storm Mountain and the Purple Thunder Sect to show off their power was completely ruined by the sudden intervention of the Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace.
The crowd dispersed, but the discussion about the red-armored youth intensified.
"This is terrifying! That Chi Yan, who is only at the Golden Core Perfection, can actually crush Mid Nascent Soul!"
"What's even more terrifying is the power behind him; any one of his protectors is Void Refinement Grandmaster!!"
"It seems we are ultimately just spectators in this great struggle..."
Storm Mountain, the sect's main hall.
Feng Xiaotian sat in the main seat with a gloomy expression, while the elders below him were all dejected.
"Sect Master, the Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace is going too far! We..."
"Shut up!" Feng Xiaotian shouted coldly. "What's there to say if we're not as skilled? The most important thing now is to improve our own strength!"
He gripped the "God-Breaking Pill" he had just received from the envoy from the Upper Realm tightly in his hand, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
"Send the order: seal off the mountain! I'm going into seclusion to attempt to break through to the Soul Formation!"
As for the Martial Sect...
A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"They're nothing but ants! With the Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace, that ferocious tiger, right in front of us, how can we possibly have the energy to deal with them? I'll deal with them after I break through to the Soul Formation!"
At this moment, the other forces on the Immortal-Abandoned Continent were also plunged into unprecedented panic.
The appearance of the Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace was like a resounding slap in the face, waking everyone up.
"Join forces? How can we join forces? They have Void Refinement Realm expert overseeing us. Even if we all joined forces, we wouldn't be enough to crush them with a single finger!"
"Support to the Upper Realm? Hmph, do you think those people Upper Realm would take us seriously? In their eyes, we're nothing more than pawns to be discarded at will!"
A sense of despair spread among the various factions.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Yueming quietly found Elder Xue Tu.
"Senior, the follow-up cultivation method of the Blood God Scripture you requested..." Xue Tu looked troubled. "The Soul Formation Chapter is already the limit I can access. The Void Refinement Chapter is only qualified for core elders of the Upper Realm Ancestral Court."
"It's alright." Dongfang Yueming nodded calmly. "I understand."
He turned back to Qin Rushuang's side and said softly, "Go back to the Martial Sect and wait for me. I have some things to take care of."
Just now, when he saw Feng Wuhen being defeated, a brilliant idea popped into his head.
"Where are you going?" Qin Rushuang asked with some concern.
Don't worry, I'll be back soon.
Dongfang Yueming smiled slightly, and with a flicker of his figure, he disappeared from the spot.
Storm Mountain.
The Void Refinement Envoy from the Upper Realm, Feng Wuji, was sitting cross-legged in a cave with the richest spiritual energy, meditating and regulating his breathing.
Sudden!
A terrifying aura, extremely violent and filled with endless bloodlust and dragon might, descended without warning!
"Who?!"
Feng Wuji suddenly opened his eyes, Void Refinement Realm divine sense swept out instantly!
A mysterious figure surrounded by a blood-red dragon shadow hovered in mid-air, looking down at him.
That aura...
[Bloodlust... the might of a true dragon... and this ferocious physical power...]
[People from the Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace?!]
Feng Wuji was startled, instinctively thinking that the protector of the Chi Yan had returned!
"What brings you here so suddenly?" he asked in a deep voice, suppressing his surprise and suspicion.
The mysterious man didn't speak, but slowly raised his hand.
"Boom--!"
In an instant!
Three completely different, yet perfectly fused, terrifying forces converged in his palm!
The Devouring of the [Blood Primordial Spirit]!
The domineering power of [Dragon Primordial Spirit]!
The destruction of the [Water-Fire Primordial Spirit]!
The three merged into one, transforming into a supreme demon god Dharma Manifestation... entirely crimson, Entanglement with a black dragon, and standing on water and fire!
"What?!"
Feng Wuhen was horrified!
The nature of this power is exactly the same as the techniques of the Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace, but it is even more bizarre and terrifying!
"Are you the woman in the red dress from the Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace? No! Your aura doesn't match!"
Without a second thought, he quickly summoned his natal magic weapon—the [Wind-Calming Pearl]—in an attempt to defend himself!
However!
"BOOM--!!!"
That demonic Dharma Manifestation only unleashed a single punch!
The [Wind-Calming Pearl], which was powerful enough to stop a raging storm for thousands of miles, was actually blasted away, and a crack even appeared on its surface!
Feng Wuji was struck as if by lightning, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he was slammed into the mountainside!
"How is that possible?!"
He crawled out of the rubble, his eyes filled with terror!
His opponent, relying solely on the fusion of pure power and intent, was able to crush him, a mere Early Void Refinement?!
Are all the people in the Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace monsters?!
"Hand over the complete ' Nine Heavens Wind-Control Art,' and... all the spirit stones!"
The mysterious man's hoarse and oppressive voice slowly rang out.
Feng Wuji gritted his teeth, his heart filled with humiliation.
But he knew he was no match for the monster before him!
"Give!"
Without any hesitation, he tossed over a storage ring.
Dongfang Yueming took the ring and scanned it with his divine sense.
[The Nine Heavens Wind-Control Art... Soul Formation Chapter, Void Refinement Chapter, Body Integration Chapter!]
[Five million low-grade spirit stones! One hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones!]
[This old guy has quite a few good things on him!]
He nodded in satisfaction.
As for the Mahayana Chapter...
He also knew that it was impossible to carry a martial arts technique of that level on one's person.
"You can get out now."
Feng Wuji glared at the mysterious man and said through gritted teeth, "I, Storm Mountain, will remember this humiliation! One day, I will certainly seek revenge against the Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace!"
However, the mysterious man merely glanced at him indifferently.
You've lost your chance.
"Varied..."
Before Feng Wuji speaking, the demon god's Dharma Manifestation raised its fist once more!
"Boom--!"
This time, it's a full-force, no-holds-barred attack!
Before Feng Wuji could even scream, he was completely engulfed by that terrifying power and turned into a cloud of blood mist!
After doing all this, Dongfang Yueming casually destroyed all traces at the scene, and with a flicker of his figure, he disappeared without a trace.
[Keeping him around will only cause trouble sooner or later.]
Killing him, though it might arouse suspicion, at least... there's no way to prove it!
As for the damaged [Wind-Calming Pearl], he didn't even glance at it.
Carrying it on your person might actually make you more likely to be spotted.
With these cultivation techniques and spirit stones, that's more than enough!
When Dongfang Yueming returned, he discovered that in addition to Qin Rushuang, there were two more "uninvited guests."
It is Shui Qingrou and Shui Yan'er.
Why haven't you gone back yet?
"Handsome boy~" Shui Yan'er rushed over to him as soon as she saw him, saying with a hint of resentment, "I came here specifically to see you!"
Looking for me?
"Yes!" Shui Yan'er said matter-of-factly, "My mother said she feels she has hit another bottleneck in her cultivation and needs you... to help her 'break through' again!"
Shui Qingrou, standing to the side, blushed instantly to the roots of her ears. She glared at her daughter fiercely but did not refute her.
She came here this time because she needed something from Dongfang Yueming.
Although the last "dual cultivation" did not go all the way to the final step, the feeling of soul fusion benefited her greatly, and she even broke through to the Soul Formation in one fell swoop!
Now, wanting to solidify her cultivation level and even advance further, she naturally thought of this "shortcut" again.
besides...
"Dongfang Master Dongfang," Shui Qingrou took a deep breath and said seriously, "Actually, we've come here for something even more important."
"Oh?"
"Our Water and Fire Sect hopes to form an alliance with the Martial Sect!"
