Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1218: Chapter 804: The Terrifying Battle (Part 2)

Yang Zhenshan naturally understood his thoughts. Now, Zhou Tianci was left with one obsession, which was to break through.

Regardless of success or failure, he would attempt to break through, even if it meant doing so before his death without any spiritual objects.

This was his pursuit of martial arts as a Martial Artist.

Not only him, but An Yuxing and Liang Shengze shared the same idea.

"Let’s go back first."

Yang Zhenshan did not comfort Zhou Tianci because they all understood their chances of successfully breaking through were slim.

Having said that, Yang Zhenshan directly buried the Jade Token in the ground, then followed the aura of the Divine Soul Seed back to the Spirit Source Land.

Yang Zhenshan ignored those treasure hunters in the Ancient Relic Array, staying on the Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau to cultivate.

A month passed quickly, and Yang Zhenshan appeared again in the Nameless Valley.

Today was the day the Ancient Relic Array would open, and if there were no accidents, the Three Major Sects would open the array this morning to extract the people inside.

"If the Nether Prison Sect wants to seize the spiritual objects in the array, they will definitely make a move today!"

"I just don’t know if they are aware that the Three Sects of Lingxiu have already set a trap here!"

"They might know, or they might not. Even if they do, the Nether Prison Sect might still come!"

"This is likely to become a decisive battle for both sides!"

Yang Zhenshan gazed eastward, lost in thought.

A moment later, he used his Escape Technique towards the direction of the Ancient Relic Array.

The so-called Escape Technique allows his body to meld with the vegetation, moving within it.

This ability, after mastering the Wood Transformation Nourishing Body Skill, allowed Yang Zhenshan to use the Wood Transformation Escape Skill.

The speed of this Escape Technique wasn’t fast, not as fast as Yang Zhenshan flying, but it could hide his form and aura.

Yang Zhenshan had tried, and after using the Wood Transformation Escape Skill, even the Green Wolf King couldn’t detect his presence.

Moving through roots, stems, and leaves, Yang Zhenshan approached within a hundred miles of the Ancient Relic Array after about two hours.

On a slightly elevated hill, Yang Zhenshan’s form slowly emerged from a large tree.

He was still a hundred miles from the Ancient Relic Array, but he couldn’t help it; his last encounter here left him with lingering fear, making him too afraid to get too close.

As Yang Zhenshan waited for the battle to commence, many people from the three sects and twelve families had already gathered outside the array.

If Yang Zhenshan were present, he would surely see many familiar faces.

Duan Qingyun from the Xuanqing Sect, Yue Su from the Illusion Moon Sect, along with Lu Youning and Lan Peng.

Each time the Ancient Relic Array opens, the twelve families do not send people to escort, but after it ends, they always send people to greet those emerging from the array.

Because those emerging from the array bring many treasures.

Last time the Lu family also sent people, four Heavenly Gang Stage warriors in total, but they all perished here.

This time, Lu Youning and Lan Peng came together, clearly not just to welcome those emerging from the array.

Lu Youning and Lan Peng were very tense, huddled together, their eyes constantly scanning their surroundings.

"If anything goes wrong, let’s flee west immediately!" Lan Peng whispered.

Lu Youning nodded heavily.

The two could be considered of the same unlucky kind, having barely escaped with their lives last time, and now back here again.

This was also unavoidable; if they had a choice, the Lu family would never send anyone this time.

But with orders from the Three Major Sects, the Lu family had no choice but to send people.

Currently, there weren’t many from the Lu family who could take the risk; these two were most suitable.

Not just them, the heavy atmosphere lingered over everyone’s heart here, even the Martial God Realm experts from the three major sects were no exception.

Besides Duan Qingyun and Yue Su, another Martial God named Shan Yuan from the Three Major Sects had arrived.

This Shan Yuan was Shanming’s senior brother, an elder of the Wuxiang Sect’s Precepts Hall, a Martial God Realm expert nearing the end of his lifespan.

Duan Qingyun had some grudges with Shan Yuan, but at this moment, they did not target one another at all, instead standing side by side, quietly waiting.

Time was almost at noon when Duan Qingyun and Shan Yuan exchanged a glance, then nodded, stepping forward to start opening the array.

Duan Qingyun, Shan Yuan, and Yue Su gravely followed the procedure to open the array.

At the instant the three of them opened the array, several terrifying auras erupted under the scorching sun.

"Run!!!"

Lan Peng didn’t say a word and dashed out like an arrow, and Lu Youning beside him wasn’t slow either.

In the blink of an eye, the dozens of people gathered outside the array scattered like birds, swiftly fleeing in all directions.

"Hahaha! A bunch of small fry, attempting to flee in front of me? Today, personally sending you to the afterlife is your greatest fortune, hahaha!"

A rampant and unrestrained laugh rolled in, followed by a vast and majestic aura violently unleashed without reservation, surging like a turbulent tide, crashing down on the fleeing crowd, threatening to crush them to dust instantly.

"Pang Yuanchen, your opponent is me!"

At this moment, Duan Qingyun leaped up like a dark lightning bolt, charging at the majestic aura pressing down. His figure sketched a sharp arc in mid-air, his aura surging around him.

In an instant, the surrounding world seemed ignited, and several strong auras burst forth like erupting volcanoes.

Booming explosions rang out one after another, terrifying spiritual power fluctuations clashed violently in the high air, as if they might overturn the sky.

From afar, Yang Zhenshan looked at the terrifying aura fluctuations, his whole being paralyzed.

Just as he imagined, this was a decisive battle between the Nether Prison Sect and the Lingxiu Three Sects.

Over twenty Martial God Realm experts were deployed from both sides.

"Truly terrifying!"

Yang Zhenshan’s heart trembled.

Even from over a hundred miles away, he still felt the oppressive terror.

The scarier part was that as the battle began, its ripples were spreading in all directions.

The sky trembled, the earth shook, violent gusts of air waves spread in succession, blowing away countless vegetation and rocks.

Suddenly, Yang Zhenshan’s pupils contracted sharply, and in the next instant, his form vanished from where he stood, transforming into a stream of light fleeing westward.

And the moment his figure vanished, a massive boulder crashed down onto the mountaintop.

"I knew this wasn’t a fun spectacle to join, damn it!"

Yang Zhenshan frantically cursed in his heart, while his body swiftly leaped over hills.

A hundred miles was not a short distance for a Heavenly Gang Stage martial artist, but for a Martial God Realm expert, it was just a few breaths away.

The battles between these Martial God Realm experts were entirely different from Lu Fusheng and the evil spirit’s previous fight.

Lu Fusheng and the evil spirit fought inside the capital because the evil spirit, restricted by Evil Qi, couldn’t leave, so Lu Fusheng had to try and contend with it on-site.

Right now, these Martial God Realm experts didn’t need to worry about territorial constraints as they chased and fought each other, not confined to the area around the array.

While fleeing, Yang Zhenshan couldn’t help but keep glancing back.

Discovering the battle’s waves weren’t spreading toward him, he sighed in relief.

As he was hesitating whether to stop and observe further, a golden Sword Qi suddenly pierced through the clouds like an awakened Ancient Golden Dragon, roaring toward the heavens with apocalyptic force.

Its dazzling brilliance illuminated the dark clouds around, reflecting them into a magnificent golden glow, the rainbow light shimmering, climbing as if it meant to break the shackles of this world.

"Slash!"

An explosive shout boomed like thunder, the sound waves rolling through all directions, painfully vibrating eardrums.

With this roar, the radiant sword light abruptly expanded, as if the sky were instantly opened, forming a colossal blade of light that carried endless killing intent, slashing down fiercely.

As the giant dragon of sword light was about to descend, a massive black palm suddenly appeared.

This giant palm was shrouded entirely in dense black fog, exuding a chilling aura.

It forcibly reached out towards the fierce and unparalleled sword light dragon with a sky-reaching momentum. Instantly, as the palm collided with the sword light dragon, blinding light and deafening blasts erupted.
