Chapter 1441 Epoch Change! New Gods Create the World 3 (Page 12)

Three chapters in one!

An explosive aura echoed within the mountain gate.

The two powerful cultivators, having prepared for a long time, launched an attack that was almost all-out, and without hesitation, they slammed it into the main hall at the core of the mountain gate.

boom!

Under this attack, powerful enough to pierce through the stars and shake space, the main hall at the core of the mountain gate, built with countless precious materials and secret patterns, was shattered.

As a result, the entire area within tens of millions of kilometers of the main hall was affected, even though the two great cultivators had concentrated their power as much as possible on the main hall.

"It's done!"

Yue Qianlin and Lin Suxin, who were controlling the mountain-protecting formation to seal off the mountain gate, ensuring that no one could enter but no one could leave, and even the battle fluctuations could not be transmitted out, showed joy.

Just a moment ago, they all noticed that the aura of the great cultivator in the core hall suddenly dropped rapidly from its normal state.

While it hasn't completely disappeared, it has certainly suffered irreparable damage.

"Shu Zi!!!"

An angry yet weak roar echoed from the mountain peak that had been blasted almost flat.

However, the next moment, the owner of the voice used a magical artifact to burrow into the earth below, attempting to escape using the earth-burrowing technique.

That roar just now, and even the act of forcibly increasing one's aura in an attempt to fight to the death, were all just illusions put on by the owner of the voice in order to escape.

The two newly promoted Grand Masters were not very experienced and were actually fooled by the owner of the voice, standing still and ready to deal with the opponent's attack at any moment.

By the time they realized what was happening, the owner of the voice had already escaped far away using the earth-遁法 (earth-遁法 is a technique for escaping underground), and was almost at the edge of the mountain-protecting formation.

……

"Damn it! He really is an old fox! He's mastered these underhanded tricks to perfection!"

"Where do you think you're going?!"

Realizing they had been tricked, the two powerful cultivators were enraged. They channeled their inner power and gave chase, continuously unleashing ranged attacks in an attempt to force the fleeing old dog out from underground.

Boom boom boom!

The ferocious attack was earth-shattering; even without any fancy effects, it could easily blast many mountains within the protective mountain formation into fragments.

Mountain ranges comparable in size to planets were shattered, and lakes comparable in size to vast oceans, with their beautiful scenery and numerous mythical creatures living in them, were turned upside down.

Most astonishingly, the spirit stone veins that originally existed within the mountain gate's earth veins were all disrupted. A sect's mountain gate, which resembled a divine abode, was thus demolished into ruins by two great cultivators in a very short time.

Meanwhile, those disciples of the sect who were unaware of what had happened also suffered.

Under the various powerful supernatural abilities of the great cultivators, the disciples of the mountain sects who were too weak didn't even know what was happening before they perished under the wrath of the other party.

Even for a slightly stronger high-level cultivator, when faced with a powerful cultivator who attacks in anger, the final result is nothing more than a slightly more dignified death.

"what!"

"What's going on? Help!"

"Run! There are invaders!"

"Quickly go and invite the ancestor! This kind of great cultivator is beyond our ability to contend with!"

"The main hall where our ancestors lived has collapsed!"

"It's over, the sect is finished!"

"Run! Run as fast as you can! We must preserve the sect's flame!"

The myriad aspects of human nature were vividly displayed at this moment.

……

Despite feeling immense heartache at the tragedy unfolding throughout the sect, the heavily injured cultivator who was constantly fleeing did not slow down his escape in the slightest.

He himself was very clear that it didn't matter if he lost all these material possessions, but if he, as the pillar of the sect, were to perish, the entire sect would be completely destroyed.

"Treasures can be found again, resources can be seized again, and disciples can be recruited again. But if I perish, everything will be over."

The heavily injured cultivator kept brainwashing himself in this way, as if it would make him feel at ease to escape.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he disregarded his reputation and tried to escape by barely clinging to life, the end result was still a complete waste of effort.

Because there's no way he can escape!

The protective array that originally guarded the entire sect was now under the control of Yue Qianlin and Lin Suxin, and the entire sect had become a cage where they could trap a turtle in a jar.

Duang!

A dull collision sounded.

The great cultivator, who had already arrived before the Hushan Grand Formation and was about to escape with his superior authority, didn't think twice and crashed headfirst into the seemingly thin barrier.

Unexpectedly, the barrier that he used to be able to enter and exit at will now firmly block him, one of the creators of the great formation.

"Impossible! What on earth is going on?!"

"Has someone usurped my formation?"

The great cultivator, who had already suffered severe injuries and looked rather old, was shocked and enraged. He immediately began to search for the root of the problem by forming hand seals.

This calculation only made him more shocked and furious.

He could clearly sense that two completely different forces had suddenly been incorporated into the once perfectly controlled formation.

It was these two forces that interfered with his control over the mountain-protecting formation, causing him to lose control of it.

……

"So... I'm now trapped like a caged bird by my own formation?"

The old monk found it both infuriating and amusing.

Unfortunately, now is not the time to dwell on those useless things; there are still two deadly guys chasing after him.

Thinking of this, the old cultivator immediately began to try to regain control of the formation, but he was always interrupted by the two completely different forces at the crucial moment, so that when the two cultivators caught up, he still failed to escape.

"That's all..."

Seeing that escape was hopeless, the old cultivator finally gave up trying and prepared to fight the two juniors behind him.

"Heh heh, old man, why aren't you running anymore?"

"Are you too exhausted to run anymore? Or are you simply unable to believe that your own protective mountain formation is no longer protecting you?"

"Hehehe, if you ask me, he's just resigned to his fate."

"Old man, come out here obediently, and the two of us will give you a dignified death!"

Sensing that the old master's aura had stopped at the edge of the mountain-protecting formation and was no longer moving, the two great cultivators who had caught up couldn't help but speak sarcastically.

The old, great cultivator believed his self-cultivation skills had reached a very high level, yet he was still infuriated by the two callow youths opposite him.

Rumble!

He summoned an earthen-yellow pearl, and the surrounding earth immediately began to rise, quickly forming a massive earthen giant. The old man's true form was hidden within the core of the earthen giant.

……

As the earth and stone giant took shape, the two great cultivators immediately unleashed their magical power and launched a fierce attack.

Boom boom boom!

Their close-quarters combat style and incredibly ferocious attack methods are completely different from those of orthodox cultivators in the Xuanzhen Realm.

Rather than being a cultivator, they are more like martial artists who push their own level to a higher level; it is definitely a blood-pumping, visceral method.

Under such a ferocious attack, even with the blessing of the sect's treasure, a giant of earth and stone, extremely outstanding in both attack and defense, was formed.

However, the old man was already severely injured and was not able to unleash the full power of the pearl. Moreover, the strength of the two great cultivators opposite him was beyond his expectations.

Therefore, the battle between the two sides did not last long, and the earth and stone giant that the old man had condensed was already badly damaged by the two great cultivators working together.

Even though the power was continuously supplied to the earth and stone giant through the orb, it was still far from enough to cover the costs.

"Hahaha, old dog, don't blame us for bullying you. You old-fashioned stubborn people from the old era should just leave this world with your prejudices!"

"In the end, it will be our turn, the young people, to dominate the cultivation world!"

The two great cultivators' voices were unrestrained and arrogant, filled with absolute confidence in their own power and optimism about the future of the emerging school.

Faced with the renewed provocation from the two great cultivators, the old man among the earth and stone giants no longer had the strength to respond.

He had reached his limit.

……

The 5th Era of the Divine Calendar

As one of the oldest sects in the entire Xuanzhen Realm, the Dibao Immortal Sect was declared destroyed, but no one received news of its demise.

Along with it, the founding ancestor of the Earth Treasure Immortal Sect, who held the highest position, possessed the greatest strength, and had lived the longest, also perished.

Of the entire sect, only a very few lucky individuals who were not present at the time of the incident remain, along with two other great cultivators who participated in the Wansui Mountain incident.

From beginning to end, this was a radical move by the emerging school of thought to undermine the orthodox cultivation system.

That beam of light was bait, a lure that tempted many great cultivators from orthodox cultivation sects to take the bait.

As for the emerging sect cultivators who also went to Wansui Mountain, it was to create conflict with the other side and completely contain them at Wansui Mountain.

Throughout the entire process, these emerging sects' great cultivators never used their full strength; otherwise, the battlefield situation at Wansui Mountain would not have been so simple.

They concealed some of their strength, making it appear as if they were evenly matched or even slightly at a disadvantage, all to prevent the other side from noticing anything amiss.

In this way, when they have the upper hand, those orthodox great cultivators will naturally not contact their respective sects to bring more great cultivators here.

It should be understood that, as a more established orthodox cultivation system, any sect that has been able to stand the test of time must have more than one great cultivator within it.

In this situation, if someone comes to Wansui Mountain, someone else must continue to guard the mountain gate.

This gave Yue Qianlin and Lin Suxin an excellent opportunity to raid their stronghold.

Most of the great cultivators were preoccupied with the situation at Wansui Mountain, and the two of them had a way to reverse the mountain-protecting formation and prevent any news or movement from these sects from getting out.

When they are deliberately targeting someone who is not, they can eliminate them silently and without warning.

By the time someone realizes what's happening, it's uncertain how many of the powerful cultivators who stayed behind will still be alive.

When that time comes, Yue Qianlin and Lin Suxin believe that the power gap between the two factions will inevitably be reversed, and there will be no need to hide it any longer.

……

The 5th Era of the Divine Calendar

As it turned out, Yue Qianlin and Lin Suxin's plan was indeed successful.

It wasn't until they had eliminated more than two-thirds of their intended targets that the orthodox cultivation faction finally realized something was wrong.

But by then, the die was cast!

The orthodox cultivation faction has lost its momentum!

Although the original orthodox cultivation sects were slightly inferior in terms of individual strength, their sheer numbers and the support of various treasures allowed them to steadily suppress the emerging sects' great cultivators.
