Battle of the Chaos and Separation Forest
Arriving at the last shop on the street, looking at the slightly dilapidated storefront, Shen Ge thought for a moment and decided to go in and take a look, just in case there were some good things inside.
As soon as they entered, the shop owner greeted them, "Honorable guest, what would you like? Our shop has everything: magical Law Artifact, talismans, crafting materials, and even spirit medicine."
Glancing at the items on the surrounding shelves, Shen Ge made no attempt to hide her disappointment.
Well, what a wasted trip, all that garbage.
Seeing the disappointment in the other person's eyes, the shop owner, though not in a good mood, still forced a smile.
"Guest, you can tell me what you want. I have much more than just what's on the shelves."
Shen Ge shook his head and said, "No need, shopkeeper. I wish you good business."
Shen Ge then turned and left. After leaving the street, he couldn't help but shake his head with some emotion. He was not the chosen one after all; how could he possibly find good things wherever he went?
Thinking of this, Shen Ge thought of Ye Xingchen, whom he considered the chosen one. That guy had arrived here early with the main group, and judging by his luck, he was probably Spirit Severing by now.
After thinking about it, Shen Ge still felt that it was a bit of an exaggeration. Spirit Severing might be a bit difficult, but Nascent Soul Late Stage or Peak Nascent Soul should be no problem.
On the other side, Stone Forest Valley.
A streak of light fell into the valley, Ye Xingchen stood on the top of a large tree, calmly gazing at the mine below.
This mine belongs to the Myriad Stars Sect, and now there's been a minor incident inside, which he's been ordered to resolve.
"Uncle-Master Ye, it's good to see you here." A manager in charge of the area hurriedly flew up and said, "For some reason, there's been a brownish gas emanating from this mine lately, and any disciple who comes into contact with it feels weak all over, as if they've been poisoned."
"Brown gas?" Ye Xingchen murmured, then nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. I'll go down and take a look."
After entering the mine, he moved quickly along the excavated tunnel and soon encountered the brown mist that filled the tunnel.
Ye Xingchen drew over a wisp of gas and examined it closely, discovering that this thing had a heavy feel to it.
"This... could it be the Earth Mother Qi?" Ye Xingchen's eyes lit up, and he immediately inhaled the wisp of gas in his hand and carefully sensed it.
A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a beam of light illuminated the mine. Suddenly, a powerful suction force erupted from Ye Xingchen's body, and all the brown gas around him gathered towards him.
This Earth Mother Qi is extraordinary; it can be considered a top-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures, extremely rare, and even if it occasionally appears in the world, it is not common.
There is a lot of Earth Mother Qi here. If Ye Xingchen absorbs it all, he is sure that not only will his foundation be more solid, but his Supreme-Grade Wood Spirit Root will also be further nourished. If he is lucky, he may even be able to obtain Earth Qi Physique.
It was fortunate that Shen Ge didn't see this scene; if he had been there, he probably would have been too disgusted to speak.
The Chosen One is truly disgusting!
In the Chaos and Separation Plains, a figure stood atop a large tree, casually observing a group of people in the distance.
"Fellow disciples, hurry up! We can't stay here any longer. If those guys find us, we might not be able to leave."
The speaker was a young man in the Late Golden Core Stage, dressed in white, who seemed quite upright. However, the group of people behind him immediately shattered this upright aura.
These people are all from the Blood Devil Grotto. After the Blood Devil came here, they rebuilt the Demonic Dao Alliance. Although people here hate the Demonic Path, that's how their Cultivation Method work. If they don't follow them, they can't improve their cultivation, so they have no choice but to do it boldly.
After the group had traveled for a while, suddenly, sword Sword Qi shot out from the depths of the dense forest. These Sword Qi energies were extremely powerful, and in just one exchange, they killed off the vast majority of the group.
"Damn it! It's that wretched son of a bitch again!"
The leader, protected by Law Treasure bestowed upon him by the sect, was not killed in the Sword Qi. He looked at his fellow disciples, most of whom had already been reduced to pieces, with an extremely cold gaze.
"You son of a bitch, you can't escape this time!" He stared coldly at the direction from which the sword had come, certain that the man was going to die.
Several elders from their sect came this time, specifically to surround and kill that person.
Sure enough, a terrifying crashing sound soon echoed from the depths of the dense forest, which made his smile widen even further.
In the depths of the dense forest not far away, billowing demonic mist blotted out the sky, interwoven with black and blood-red hues. But deep within this demonic mist, a golden flame stubbornly pierced through it and shone forth.
"How dare you provoke our Blood Devil Grotto like this, you dog! You have a death wish!"
Within the demonic mist, Lü Yang, dressed in red, stood proudly. Although the attacks around him were making it difficult for him to defend himself, he seemed completely unfazed.
With a wave of his hand, Lü Yang summoned a golden Fire Phoenix that spread its wings and flew out, igniting the surrounding demonic energy. A golden flame instantly spread along the demonic energy and burned it.
"Is this the True Sun Fire?" An elder who was about to take out his Soul-Summoning Banner to attack was puzzled for a moment when he saw the fire, then exclaimed in alarm, "Not good! Extinguish this fire quickly! Once this place becomes a sea of fire, we will be suppressed!"
Seeing this, the other four people worked together to extinguish the spreading golden flames.
But the next moment, the golden Fire Phoenix crashed straight into one of them. On its back stood Lü Yang, dressed in red, proudly, his face expressionless, his eyes indifferent.
"You brat, how arrogant!" The man who was attacked had a gloomy expression. Out of so many people, he chose him out of all people. Did he think he was the easiest to bully?
He formed a hand seal, and the next moment a huge hole directly met the Fire Phoenix, instantly filling the entire space with a ghostly aura.
"The Netherworld Skull of White Bone Mountain." Lü Yang spoke for the first time. Although his voice sounded calm, a closer listen revealed a chilling undercurrent within it.
Without pausing, Lü Yang rode the Fire Phoenix and crashed into it. The moment they collided, the Fire Phoenix tore a gash in the giant skull.
However, although this attack had no effect, the other four were not going to just stand by and watch. Although Lü Yang blocked some of their attacks, two of them still landed on him.
After a burst of demonic mist, a dazzling golden light pierced through, and with a Phoenix Cry cry, the Fire Phoenix soared into the sky.
However, judging from the blood splattered in the air, Lü Yang was seriously injured, but fortunately he was not trapped here in the end.
Sometimes running away isn't shameful. Lü Yang is only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and the fact that he managed to escape with only minor injuries from five Nascent Soul cultivators shows his exceptional strength.
In other words, the opponent had too many people. If only two or three of them were missing, and only two or three people of the same level came, Lü Yang would be confident of turning the tables and killing them.
