986: Chapter 264_2 986: Chapter 264_2 “Damn it!”
In the void, the Wind Fire Heavenly Tribulation had descended, fierce gales whisking people away, scorching flames devouring those caught in its sweep.
In an instant, everyone in this patch of space fell into complete chaos.
“Back off, everyone, disperse!”
Huang Feng, seeing the tumultuous crowd, hastily shouted, “Spread out!
Wait for the Wind Fire Heavenly Tribulation to end.
He will die on his own; there’s no need to bother with him.”
No sooner had his words fallen, than the Flying Boat in the void was stowed away, and more than twenty figures appeared.
Hundred Peaks Sect had brought over a hundred people this time, among whom more than twenty were in the first Flying Boat, while the others were in the second.
Huang Feng instantly noticed the newly arrived Golden Core Stages, his gaze immediately trembling with shock.
“So many Golden Core Stages!
Their cultivation bases…
and there, two of the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection!”
He spotted, among the crowd, two women at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
A startle erupted in his heart.
Wasn’t it said that the fighting within the Eastern Wasteland was fierce?
How could there be so many possessing the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection?
Counting the one atop the sect’s gate, that made three altogether.
And those others, the remaining ones, each of their cultivation bases seems formidable, the weakest being at the sixth layer of Golden Core, and there were even some who had reached Pill Fusion at the Great Perfection stage!
With such strength, why had they not sent people to guard the coastal borders?
Lucky for him, his side was strong enough.
Although the other side had several of the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, he had more people on his side and should be able to subdue them.
However, this time, his side would likely suffer some casualties.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, from among the two of the Great Perfection, a female conjured up blazing spheres of fire behind her that burned furiously, forming a scorching fireball that seemed like ten suns plummeting down to earth.
In the next instant, a crisp cry of a phoenix rang out behind her.
Huang Feng saw that from the woman’s hands, the ethereal forms of a phoenix and a fenghuang burst forth—their bodies composed entirely of flames, with the outer layer of purple flames and inner core of crimson.
Flames engulfed the heavens, instantly covering the entire space, spreading outwards like a sea of flames.
The surrounding air ignited in an instant, and the whole void caught aflame.
Flames fell from the void, clearly not reaching the ground, yet the wild grass was instantly set alight by the intense heat.
“This flame…
with its outer layer purple and the inner crimson, there’s only one kind of flame with those colors—this is the legendary Fire of Departure!”
Huang Feng drew a sharp breath.
He had a close friend, not a disciple of the Sky Flying Sect but an expert from another Immortal Sect.
His friend, who practiced the Fire Technique, had once received a legacy that might lead to the mastery of the Fire of Departure.
Alas, his friend ultimately failed.
His friend had been disheartened for a long time, which is how he came to know about the Fire of Departure.
Now, he had just arrived in the Eastern Wasteland and had already encountered a second practitioner of Great Perfection Golden Core who possessed the Fire of Departure.
Hadn’t they thought of the Eastern Wasteland as a region fraught with infighting, with an extremely weak power structure in the world of cultivation?
Such a place, yet someone had mastered the Fire of Departure?
Not good!
His expression changed again abruptly.
One of the other experts at the Great Perfection level suddenly charged at him, a long saber materializing in their hand.
With it, a wave of grievous anger spread across the space.
Almost in the next moment, a stroke slashed down, aiming straight for Xu Yan beside him.
The edge of the blade glinted sharply!
An immense, overwhelming aura swept in, and the air around seemed to shatter instantly under the saber’s edge, emitting a crisp sound like a copper mirror shattering upon hitting the ground.
The entire world seemed to tremble at that moment, the void itself seemingly cleaved in two by the stroke of the saber.
It was evidently a single slash, yet Huang Feng felt as if a galaxy tumbling from the ninth heaven had fallen or as if a mountain was crashing down, intent on crushing everyone into pulp.
It was like a sea of flames capable of incinerating everything had descended…
Clearly, it was one stroke of the saber, yet it was filled with the power of the Five Elements, which furthermore, were fused together.
Beside Huang Feng, Xu Yan watched the descending blade, and fear shattered his composure.
The falling saber gave him the delusion that all things in the world would be cleaved apart by this stroke.
Was this power truly attainable at the Golden Core Stage?
His spiritual energy coursed to its limits, streams of mana swirling around his body.
His aura spiked to the extreme as his hands moved swiftly, his fingers flitting over the strings of his instrument, sending luminous streaks in front of him with each stroke.
In an instant, beams of light rose, converging before him into the semblance of a rainbow, seemingly spanning the heavens.
Yet, the next moment, as the saber fell, the rainbow that seemed to link heaven and earth before him was split open by the blade.
