Chapter 1524: Chapter 825: Test Subject
"Crunch, crunch!!"
On the side, Master Ming Yue’s beautiful face twisted, as her rows of teeth bit with a crunching sound, she cursed resentfully, "Damn coward! As soon as something happens, he escapes on his own, not a man at all!"
Although Master Ming Yue did not name names, everyone knew whom she was cursing.
Zhao Yongxian’s face was gloomy, paying no attention to Master Ming Yue’s provocations.
Master Ming Yue saw this, and was about to speak again when her peripheral vision suddenly caught a tall figure, rendering her speechless.
Zhao Sheng slowly landed on the ground, holding a blue-feathered bird in his right hand that at first glance seemed like an ordinary farm goose.
However, Zhao Yongxian and Master Ming Yue were both nearly blinded.
"This... is a Green-winged Roc?!" Zhao Yongxian looked at the blue bird, utterly shocked.
Zhao Sheng patted the bird’s head and suddenly flicked his finger.
With a bang, the blue Roc struggled desperately, emitting a sharp cry, its body suddenly emanating an overwhelming pressure, causing the two Golden Core Masters to shudder and retreat several steps.
At this moment, over a dozen five-colored chains appeared, tightly constraining the Green-winged Roc.
The more it struggled, the tighter the chains pulled, eventually embedding deep into its flesh.
The Green-winged Roc was restrained to the point of breathless weakness, its head hung low, body motionless as if dead.
Zhao Sheng casually tossed down the Green-winged Roc, his expression calm as he stated, "This beast is temporarily entrusted to your care. Once Taoist Zhao returns, let him deal with it."
Zhao Yongxian’s eye twitched, already keenly grasping that word "Taoist Zhao."
"Could it be... when exactly...?" He was inwardly stunned and horrified, contemplating silently.
Master Ming Yue suddenly rushed forward, hoisting the Green-winged Roc, now fawning, "Rest assured, senior! I will watch over this beast tightly."
Though he said this, Master Ming Yue regretted deeply inside, wishing he could cut his own mouth to pieces to avoid constantly inviting such disaster.
He wasn’t foolish, seeing clearly the person’s immeasurable strength, undoubtedly a Nascent Soul Cultivator, otherwise how could he capture a Nascent Soul Mirror Demon Peng alive.
Zhao Yongxian and Master Ming Yue naturally didn’t know that Zhao Sheng not only captured a Nascent Soul Demon Peng, but also suppressed the Demon Country’s king’s son within the Five Directions Treasure Mirror.
It could be said they already imagined Zhao Sheng’s strength to be extremely high, yet still greatly underestimated his true power.
"With this demon clan attack, not only was the Zhao Family camp hit, but the He and Wei Families also faced disaster. I will return shortly, leave this to you to manage."
Zhao Sheng briefly instructed, then transformed into tunneling light, speeding towards the southern end of the Heavenly Rift Valley.
In the following half-day, he first went south then north to the two family strongholds, consecutively killing two Nascent Soul Mirror demon beasts, averting the complete annihilation of the family troops.
From this ordeal, the He and Wei Families suffered major casualties, the He Family Ancestor severely injured, forced to retreat to the ancestral land to heal.
Three of the four Golden Core Masters died, young Foundation Establishment cultivators perished in large numbers, the outcome extremely bleak.
Overall, after this tribulation, the prior efforts of the three families were completely obliterated, almost restarting from scratch.
Forty days passed swiftly.
During these days, the Zhao, He, and Wei Families merged at a location, barely constructing a new camp, some slightly wounded Foundation Establishment younglings recovering, severe injuries improved.
On this day, Lord Zhao Zhuanggong returned to the site aboard a silver-white giant ship.
Upon learning of the tragic incident from over a month ago, Lord Zhao Zhuanggong was shocked and furious, couldn’t help but curse the demon clan’s utter insolence.
Zhao Yongxian saw this, quickly offering the Nascent Soul Realm Green-winged Roc, and conveyed his suspicions.
As Lord Zhao Zhuanggong listened, his face trembled, his mind producing a startling conjecture.
Actually, while returning to the Heavenly Rift Valley, he had already seen that vast bottomless pit with a diameter of thousands of feet, naturally knowing even using all his might, he couldn’t create such a huge crater.
This ability to drastically alter terrain with a single strike typically only capable by a Divinity Transformation True Monarch or Half-step Divinity Transformation Level Peak Great Cultivator.
Thinking thus, Lord Zhao Zhuanggong couldn’t sit still, promptly urging, "Yongxian, hurry and take me to pay respects to Master Shaoling!"
Zhao Yongxian observed the ancestor’s express reaction, duly serving, immediately shaking his head, "Reporting to ancestor, since appearing a month ago and leaving the Demon Peng under my care, Senior Shao Ling only showed once or twice, then vanished. Currently, I don’t know Senior Shao Ling’s whereabouts."
Lord Zhao Zhuanggong heard this, his expression halted, after a short silence, he suddenly sighed, sitting back slowly.
"Ah, a high person’s actions are always inscrutable. Seems our Zhao Family’s virtue and talents are lacking, unable to retain such a master. This encounter, a fateful end. Had I known earlier, I would have treated him as a fellow Daoist. Now it’s too late to regret!"
Zhao Yongxian beside wanted to speak but hesitated, his face showing an odd complexion.
Lord Zhao Zhuanggong sensed his unusualness, inquiring with slight doubt, "Yongxian, what do you wish to say?"
Zhao Yongxian confessed honestly, "Ancestor, Senior Shao Ling never said he would leave... Surely he won’t depart without notice!"
"Hmm?" Lord Zhao Zhuanggong’s expression changed, his eyes narrowing sharply.
...
Five thousand miles south of the Sky-splitting Valley, there lies a desolate swamp.
Currently, above the swamp, dense white fog wafted, rolling and swirling, occasionally manifesting radiant colorful lights.
Deep within the fog, the Central Earth Mirror hung high in the skies, emitting large amounts of bright yellow light.
The remaining Four-sided Treasure Mirrors occupied the four cardinal directions, similarly radiating brilliant light.
The Five Directions Treasure Mirrors formed a grand circle, within which Jun Tianxing dashed haphazardly, repeatedly casting numerous Divine Secret Skills, seemingly seeking to escape this void.
Unfortunately, each time he crossed the boundary, a five-colored radiance emerged, enveloping him wholly.
The next instant, Jun Tianxing appeared back at the origin, the entire process resembling Instantaneous Movement.
Zhao Sheng stood with arms crossed over his chest, on top of the Central Earth Mirror, observing all occurrences below thoroughly.
The longer this persisted, Jun Tianxing resembled a headless fly more, continuously spinning in the circle, occasionally lucky enough to cross outside, only to be moved back to the origin.
Though seemingly humorous, danger lurked within.
Jun Tianxing’s strength approached the Divinity Transformation True Monarch, able to calmly escape even against Human Clan’s God Transformation.
However, once trapped within the Mirage Cloud Formation based on Five Directions and Five Elements, this Transformed Demon with formidable strength found himself powerless, unable to decipher this illusion.
After several hours, Zhao Sheng suddenly let out a strand of Divine Thought into the Central Earth Mirror.
Instantly, the Central Earth Mirror buzzed, its surface emitting a beam of light, enveloping Jun Tianxing.
Jun Tianxing’s face changed drastically, his body suddenly weighed down, showing immense agony, as if burdened by a great mountain.
Not long after, the Eastern Kongsang Mirror emitted a blue light, upon landing on Jun Tianxing, his entire body convulsed, sprouting dense vines across limbs and body.
As the Southern Haoyang Mirror’s light flashed, the vines ignited, turning Jun Tianxing’s face flushed red, instantly drenched in sweat, as if amidst a Fire Sea.
In the next four hours, the Western Dandelion Light Mirror and Northern Mirage Cloud Mirror successively unleashed their might, tormenting Jun Tianxing to near death.
