Chapter 402 Berserk Monster
In the blink of an eye, the petite tabby cat vanished, replaced by a little girl dressed in a black robe! This little girl was small, barely three feet tall, but incredibly adorable. Her delicate, porcelain-like face and large, watery eyes sparkled with curiosity as she looked around, carefully observing this new and wondrous world.
From her appearance, the little girl was much shorter than Wu Qinghuan and Xu Nian, looking exactly like the child they had accidentally found. She blinked her big eyes and called out in a clear, melodious voice, "Master." Her voice was clear and pleasant, like a wind chime swaying in the wind, extremely beautiful.
Xu Nian smiled warmly, gently patted the little girl's head, and said softly, "From now on, your name will be Nian Nian." Hearing her new name, the little girl tilted her head, looking puzzled, and asked, "Nian Nian? Isn't that the same name as you, Master?" Xu Nian smiled and nodded in affirmation. Wu Qinghuan, standing to the side, looked at the innocent little girl before her and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
This little guy, once he successfully transformed, appeared so petite and adorable.
Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan had also seen Liu Meng transform back then.
But Liu Meng is nowhere near as cute as the little tabby cat in front of us.
Liu Meng is more of a simple-minded person.
But what I see in front of me is mostly cuteness.
Indeed, there is a difference between cats and foxes.
It's been a while since I came out.
I wonder what's going on with Xiaoxiao and Liumeng in Yangcheng.
I wonder if these two, the senior and junior sisters, get along well.
If we introduce this little tabby cat to them, it should be quite interesting.
Xu Nian looked at the little creature in front of her and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Let's go, we need to hurry up and find the fifth level of Dao essence."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and strode forward. The other two followed closely behind. And so, the three of them continued their journey northward.
Their destination was the fifth level of Dao essence, hidden deep within the Burning Heaven Mountains. Speaking of the Burning Heaven Mountains, they truly lived up to their name! The entire mountain range was engulfed in raging flames, perpetually shrouded in intense heat. Boiling lava churned and flowed ceaselessly in the mountain streams, seemingly intent on devouring everything—a veritable forbidden zone for life. However, such a harsh and dangerous environment posed no significant problem for Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan. They traversed it with effortless ease, as if strolling through a leisurely garden. Neither the scorching lava capable of instantly melting a person nor the raging, menacing flames could hinder their resolute advance.
Just then, a deafening roar suddenly came from ahead. Immediately afterward, a terrifying, chilling demonic aura surged forth like a tidal wave. Wu Qinghuan frowned slightly and coldly snorted, "Hmph! Which blind beast dares to block our way again?" In the blink of an eye, everyone looked up and saw a gigantic fire ape, its body as large as a mountain, menacingly blocking the middle of the road. This ape was over a hundred feet tall, its entire body engulfed in raging flames, its two eyes, the size of copper bells, flashing a scarlet light, revealing boundless rage and ferocity. It opened its blood-red maw and roared, then swung its enormous fists, carrying immense force, and slammed them down towards Xu Nian and the other two.
"They're courting death," Xu Nian said indifferently. Just then, a dazzling golden light streaked across the sky, as swift as lightning. The golden light hurtled straight toward the enormous giant ape ahead, its speed so fast it was almost impossible to follow.
In the blink of an eye, the golden light pierced through the giant ape's massive, mountain-like body with overwhelming force. Accompanied by a deafening roar—"Boom!"—the once majestic and invincible giant ape collapsed like a mountain crumbling, raising a cloud of dust. Then, before everyone's eyes, the giant ape's body rapidly burst into flames, instantly turning into a pile of ashes that scattered in the wind.
Witnessing this scene, Xu Nian couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking to himself, "The demonic beasts of the Burning Heaven Mountains seem a bit strange..."
He vaguely sensed that these demonic beasts seemed to contain a strange aura. This aura was not unfamiliar to him, as it came from the infamous Ten Thousand Demons Sect.
Xu Nian's gaze traversed the towering mountains, finally settling on a black peak deep within the Burning Sky Mountains. This peak soared into the clouds, surrounded by scorching lava, resembling a ferocious and terrifying beast coiled deep underground.
At the summit of the mountain stood a massive, blood-red array. At this moment, the array was flashing with an eerie light, resembling a gaping maw ready to devour its prey, emanating a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.
At the center of the formation sat a man in a black robe, the third protector of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect—Xuan Tian Dao Ren. His face was ashen, his eyes were closed, and his hands were constantly changing hand seals. A powerful, suffocating sense of oppression emanated from his body.
Suddenly, Xuan Tian Daoist let out a deep, angry roar: "The sacrifice begins!" With his command, the Wanmo Sect disciples who had been waiting for a long time sprang into action, ruthlessly throwing the many cultivators they had captured one by one into the blood-red formation.
In an instant, shrill screams echoed throughout the entire mountain. The poor cultivators struggled in agony under the influence of the formation, but they could not escape their tragic fate. Blood gushed from their bodies like a fountain, quickly staining the entire formation crimson.
Seeing the bloody and cruel scene before him, Xuan Tian Dao Ren's lips curled into a cold, ruthless smile as he muttered to himself, "With these sacrifices, the blood sacrifice formation can be activated smoothly..."
"At that time, that mysterious and powerful fifth layer of Dao essence will surely become ours!" A greedy glint flashed in Xuan Tian Dao Ren's eyes, as if the incomparably precious Dao essence was already within his grasp.
Just then, a disciple of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted, "Guardian, look over there! Those two people have appeared!" Following the direction he pointed, two figures could be seen rushing towards the mountain peak at an extremely fast speed. Upon closer inspection, the two were none other than Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan.
Xuan Tian Daoist let out a heavy snort: "Hmph, truly courting death, daring to deliver themselves to our doorstep." His words were filled with disdain. The other Wanmo Sect disciples nearby echoed, "Those two are simply overestimating themselves; they've clearly come here to die." Laughter echoed all around. In the eyes of these Wanmo Sect disciples, Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan were nothing more than two helpless lambs, meekly awaiting their slaughter.
At this moment, another disciple stepped forward cautiously and asked, "Guardian, should we stop them immediately?" However, Xuan Tian Dao Ren simply waved his hand and calmly replied, "No need to rush. Let them get a little closer first." After a pause, he continued with a sinister smile, "Once they step into the range of the Blood Sacrifice Array, only death awaits them." As he spoke, a treacherous and cunning glint flashed deep in his eyes.
As time passed, Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan drew closer to the mountain peak. At the same time, a strong, pungent stench of blood emanated from the summit, assaulting their senses. Xu Nian frowned, his expression grave, and said, "Looks like these Ten Thousand Demons Sect guys have been causing quite a ruckus here..."
Xu Nian's expression remained calm, a slight smile playing on her lips. She said slowly, "Hmph, since that's the case, then these arrogant fools will pay a terrible price." Wu Qinghuan beside her snorted coldly, her voice icy and seemingly capable of freezing the surrounding air. She continued, "That's right, today we'll make sure they never return." With that, the two of them sped off like lightning towards the towering mountain peak ahead without the slightest hesitation.
"How could they possibly be unafraid of the Blood Sacrifice Array of my Ten Thousand Demons Sect?" A disciple of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief, muttering to himself. Another disciple also looked astonished, his voice trembling as he said, "Could it be that they are completely unaware of the terrifying power of this Blood Sacrifice Array?" The many disciples of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect exchanged bewildered glances, their hearts filled with doubt and shock. After all, this Blood Sacrifice Array was a secret technique of their Ten Thousand Demons Sect, its power so great that even a peerless expert whose cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Dao Integration Realm would absolutely not dare to be careless or approach it lightly. Yet these two dared to charge straight at them so recklessly; it was simply too arrogant and conceited.
Just then, a disciple ran up to Xuan Tian Dao Ren in a panic, stammering, "Guardian...Guardian, it seems they really have no fear of our Blood Sacrifice Array." Hearing this, Xuan Tian Dao Ren's face darkened, and he roared, "What's the panic! Don't boost their morale and diminish our own. The Blood Sacrifice Array is fully activated; even a legendary Great Luo Golden Immortal wouldn't be able to escape here!" As he spoke, a confident and sharp light flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan had already arrived at the foot of the mountain. The moment they stood firm, a strong, pungent stench of blood assaulted their nostrils. Wu Qinghuan frowned slightly, saying with disgust, "Such a strong smell of blood. Just how many innocent lives have these villains taken?" Xu Nian's eyes instantly turned icy cold, a chilling killing intent flickering within them. He said coldly, "This shows that the crimes they committed are simply countless."
Just then, a roar came from the mountaintop: "Kill!" In an instant, the entire mountain was shrouded in a blood-red light, and a thrilling life-or-death battle began.
Seeing this, the Wanmo Sect disciples around them did not hesitate to fully activate the terrifying blood sacrifice array. In an instant, crimson pillars of light shot up from all directions, like ferocious and terrifying dragons, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan, instantly enveloping them completely.
"Hahaha, today is your death day! Prepare to die!" Xuan Tian Dao Ren, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help but laugh triumphantly at the sight. In his eyes, Xu Nian and Wu Qing Huan, trapped in the blood sacrifice formation, were now like turtles in a barrel with nowhere to escape, only able to obediently await their death.
However, something unexpected happened. Those seemingly powerful, world-destroying pillars of blood-red light, when they crashed heavily onto Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan, seemed to encounter an indestructible shield. Not only did they fail to cause the slightest harm to the two, but they also dissipated like water hitting a reef.
"This...how is this possible?" The previously confident Xuan Tian Daoist's eyes widened in disbelief. The power of this Blood Sacrifice Array was so immense that even a super-strong expert at the ninth level of the Dao Integration Realm would find it difficult to withstand head-on. Yet these two people before him were completely unharmed under the Blood Sacrifice Array, without even a scratch. This was utterly inconceivable!
Just as everyone was stunned, Xu Nian said calmly, "It's just a trivial skill."
In an instant, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared, like an indestructible sword, piercing straight towards the blood-red pillars of light flying all over the sky. A crisp sound rang out, and the originally imposing blood sacrifice array instantly collapsed under the impact of this golden light, turning into countless specks of light that dissipated in the air.
"Wh...what!" Upon witnessing the blood sacrifice formation being broken so easily, Xuan Tian Daoist couldn't help but exclaim in shock. He simply couldn't understand why his carefully arranged blood sacrifice formation was so vulnerable and easily broken by the opponent.
"Now, it's our turn to make a move." Xu Nian's eyes revealed a hint of coldness. At the same time, Wu Qinghuan beside him also experienced a surge in aura, and an incomparably powerful pressure spread out, making everyone present tremble with fear.
A cold glint flashed in Xu Nian's eyes.
