The Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan Strikes, Both Sides Have Plans!
Before the two finished speaking, the world suddenly changed.
The ground beneath their feet trembled violently, and the restrictive formations of the Six Kings Mountain roared in unison; the purple-gold thunderclouds churned and exploded, and magma from the southern volcano poured back into the earth.
It was as if some irresistible force had forcibly pushed it back!
Shi Jian felt a chill run down his spine, his hair standing on end.
This is not a fluctuation at the Nascent Soul level, nor even at the Spirit Transformation.
This is the Dao Venerable!
More than one!
"Lie down!" Shan Li pulled Shi Jian behind him, and the Earth Dao Immortal Foundation was activated with a roar; the Thick Earth body of [Ten Thousand Layered Peaks] enveloped the two of them.
Boom--!!!
A visible, earth-yellow light curtain rose from the southwestern horizon of the Beast Realm; the light curtain stretched for tens of thousands of miles, covering half of the sky.
On the screen of light, countless ancient and unrecognizable Earth Dao inscriptions were engraved, each inscription radiating a power that made heaven and earth prostrate themselves.
Immediately afterwards, a second light screen rose, then a third...
Three layers of light curtains overlapped, completely sealing off the entire southwestern sky of the Beast Realm.
"What is that?" Shi Jian's expression changed drastically.
Shan Li stared intently at the three beams of light, his voice trembling slightly. "The Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan."
Shi Jian felt a chill run down his spine.
The Peak Peak Imperial Clan is the most powerful race, with the Earth Dao Embryo as its leader!
He holds the power of the Earth Dao, and under his command are three Dao Venerable of the Fruit Rank: [Earth Virtue], [Xuan Tu], and [Return to Earth].
When a supreme imperial clan makes a move, it's never a single person doing it.
"How could they...?"
"The Ancestor Egu's attainment of enlightenment is a matter of great importance; even a small change can have far-reaching consequences."
"The Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan and the Giant Bear Clan have a long-standing relationship; if the Ancestor Egu proves himself to be Barbarian Bone, Giant Bear Clan is elevated to the status of a royal family, then for the Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan, having one more ally is far better than having one more enemy."
"Moreover, that being might also want to take this opportunity to gain something from this chaos."
As soon as the words were spoken, the three earthen-yellow light curtains in the sky suddenly shone brightly.
The land of the Beast Realm surged, and the soil within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles trembled violently as if it were alive; mountains and rivers were like toys in the face of this great power, and the entire Divine Firmament Plain was shaking.
Shi Jian gripped the mountain wall tightly, feeling all the Earth Dao energy in the world rushing towards the three light curtains.
The Dao Embryo Supreme expert of the Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan has made a move!
Throughout the Beast Realm, those Xuan Mystic Realm infiltrators hiding in the shadows all met with annihilation at this moment.
The Peak and Mountain Dao Embryo wields three-fifths of the power over the Great Dao of Earth.
The entire Beast Realm protects and governs it.
The three supreme Dao Venerable of the Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan emerged simultaneously, each occupying a different direction; using [Earth Virtue] as the pivot, [Xuan Tu] as the lock, and [Return to Earth] as the killing force.
The convergence of the three powers instantly transformed every inch of the Beast Realm into a vast domain of the Great Dao.
Those who set foot on the earth have complete control over their own breath.
Those Mystic Realm cultivators scattered throughout the Beast Realm, no matter how exquisite their escape techniques or how concealed their Secret Method, have nowhere to hide as long as they remain in this world.
Just like sifting sand in the sunlight, any foreign objects in the sand are immediately visible.
The first to die were those Nascent Soul spies.
The earth cracked open silently, and a giant, earthen-yellow hand emerged from the ground, crushing the fleeing infiltrators; even the Nascent Soul didn't have time to fly out of their bodies before being ground into dust by the Earth Dao's origin.
In the Eastern Realm, two Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators disguised as Demon Beast were locked onto by the Earth Dao Principle.
One of them desperately activated his Sword Dao Immortal Foundation, tearing through the seal. He had just rushed out a hundred feet from the ground when he was smashed down by a ten-thousand-foot-tall earthen mountain that appeared out of thin air.
His Spirit Transformation body shattered, and his Nascent Soul and divine spirit were crushed tens of thousands of feet underground.
The other person was even more decisive; the ground beneath their feet turned into quicksand, swallowing them and their magical Law Treasure deep into the earth's veins; the quicksand closed in, leaving no trace.
The operation will proceed simultaneously in the North, South, and West.
Throughout the Beast Realm, screams of agony rose and fell.
Those elite Mystic Realm who had painstakingly infiltrated were crushed one by one before the Earth Dao authority of the Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan, like maggots exhumed from their nests.
In less than half an hour, nearly a thousand high-level cultivators who had infiltrated the Beast Realm were completely wiped out, with none surviving!
The border between the Mystic Realm and the Beast Realm.
A void node that had long been sealed off suddenly exploded.
A vast and boundless Sword Dao aura, like an invisible giant sword, forcefully cleaved the barrier between the two realms, creating a crack that stretched for tens of millions of miles.
Within the crack, sword light cascaded like a waterfall.
[Sword Origin] Dao Venerable, no longer concealing his intentions, has personally taken action!
"The E Gu has not yet attained enlightenment; I still have time."
A cold voice came from the depths of the crack.
Immediately afterward, the Nascent Spirit Transformation Extreme Stage cultivator clad in a gray-blue robe stepped out of the crevice; the sheathless longsword hanging at his waist emitted a series of humming sounds...
Behind him, dozens of Spirit Transformation cultivators emerged one after another.
Sword Origin Dao Venerable personally tore open the boundary wall, intending to forcibly send his troops into the core area of the Beast Realm!
If infiltration fails, then launch an open attack.
Boom!
The decrees of the eight Dao Venerable of the Beast Realm resounded simultaneously.
Eight Dharma forms rose from the ground in the eight directions of the Beast Realm.
In the North, the [Ultimate Force] Dao Venerable, whose Dharma form is like an iron tower reaching the sky, with his fists clenched tightly, his body Dao of Strength and energy like a tangible torrent.
In the East, the [Return to Earth] Dao Venerable's form is connected to the earth, unchanging since time immemorial.
In the south, an extremely intense source of Fire Dao condensed and took shape, scorching the heavens and boiling the seas, devouring all living beings; this was none other than the [Conjoined Fire] Dao Venerable.
In the west, amidst a sky full of thunderclouds, a thunder-based Dao of Lightning image flickered in and out of existence; Violent Thunder tore through everything—this was [Profound Lightning].
The remaining four Dao Venerable Venerables, [Xuan Tu], [Earth Virtue], [Heavenly Wind], and [Sha Qi], occupied the four corners, completely sealing off the entire Beast Realm like an iron barrel.
The eight Great Dao Venerable appeared together, each displaying their own Dharma forms, to suppress the eight directions!
"Sword Origin, have you gone mad?"
The Dharma Image of the Returning Earth Dao Venerable spoke in a deep voice, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
"Boldly blocking the way is tantamount to declaring war on the entire Beast Realm. Have you thought this through?"
The sound emanating from the crack remained calm.
"I have thought this through very clearly. If the E Gu are transformed into Barbarian Bone, the Dao Path of my disciples will be cut off; my lifespan is nearing its end; if my disciples cannot attain the Barbarian Bone Dao Fruit, their lineage will be extinguished."
"With such Dao Path severed and the orthodox tradition on the verge of collapse, how is this any different from declaring war?"
Before the words were finished, a phantom image of a giant, jet-black sword slowly emerged from the crack.
The sword was merely an illusion, yet it caused the entire Beast Realm's sky to tremble; the Sword Dao inscriptions carved on the blade lit up one by one.
Sword Origin Dao Venerable activated the power of his Fruit Rank!
Boom--!
A Sword Qi slashed out from the crack, transforming into a dazzling sword river that stretched across the heavens and earth; the sword river stretched for thousands of miles, and wherever it passed, the void shattered inch by inch.
The four Principle wind, fire, thunder, and earth were turned upside down by this sword strike.
In the northern part of the Beast Realm, the Ultimate Dao of Strength Venerable unleashed a punch; the torrent of Dao of Strength collided head-on with the Sword River, and at the moment of impact, the void within a radius of millions of miles collapsed into chaos.
Returning Earth Dao Venerable clasped his hands together, and countless Shan Yue rose from the earth, transforming into an endless Great Wall of mountains that forcefully blocked the Sword River's path.
The mountain range crumbled, then regenerated, crumbled again, and regenerated once more.
With Conjoined Fire Dao Venerable unleashed a torrent of flames that transformed into nine fire dragons, coiling around both sides of the Sword River in an attempt to melt it away.
The majestic Dharma form of Dao of Lightning unleashed a barrage of five-colored Profound Lightning, like a celestial tribulation, striking the Sword River one after another.
But the river of swords not only did not disappear, it grew stronger with each strike.
The power of Sword Origin Fruit Realm cultivator is no ordinary feat.
Sword Dao is inherently about sharpness, capable of breaking through all techniques without being inferior; although there are many Dao Venerable, Sword Origin alone managed to hold his Dao Venerable against four of them without being at a disadvantage.
The sky above the Beast Realm was shattered into chaos.
The four Principle wind, fire, thunder, and earth intertwined and twisted, causing the Spiritual Qi tides between heaven and earth to completely spiral out of control; the world lost its color!
