Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 677 - 498: Supreme Treasure: Ancient Immortal Instrument ’96 Universe Spirit Shuttle’! The Patriarch Takes Action!
Shenzhou.
Void. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Almost simultaneously, the three old demons—Vermilion Blood, Golden Silkworm, and Tiancan—sensed that the three hundred Demon Dao True Immortals were encountering unforeseen events.
"Bad news!"
"How could the Daoist have such comprehensive preparations?!"
The three demons looked grim.
The three hundred and twenty-four True Immortals were the three hundred and twenty-four nodes of the ’Three Talents Fire Dragon Formation’, each in their respective Demon Dao True Immortals’ lairs, extremely well-prepared. Even if the Daoist True Immortals noticed, the attack of the three demons was so sudden that the Daoist True Immortals could at most remove three, five, or eight nodes, dealing with three, five, or eight Demon Dao True Immortals, which would not significantly impact the ’Three Talents Fire Dragon Formation’.
However.
Who would have thought?
Even with such preparation and execution, things still went wrong; they were still caught in one fell swoop!
Vermilion Blood Ancestor’s face darkened.
Golden Silkworm and Tiancan also wore sullen expressions.
The three demons overlooked Shenzhou.
At this moment.
The Vice Palace Master of Vermilion Blood Palace, ’Red Flower Ancestor’, sent a message to Vermilion Blood Ancestor: "Master, someone infiltrated Vermilion Blood Palace in advance, masquerading as one among the twelve hundred Fourth-order cultivators guarding the auxiliary pillars. Unbeknownst to me, the ’Primordial One Qi Thunder’ was taken when launched, and the ’Fire Dragon Pillar’ was swiftly snatched away. Fortunately, this person was half a step too slow and was intercepted by me. However, in desperation, they blew up the thunder, destroying the ’Fire Dragon Pillar’, and ended their own life. I suspect this person might be a Daoist True Immortal Avatar."
Red Flower Ancestor is one of the lead True Immortals of the ’Three Talents Fire Dragon Formation’, his Daoist knowledge profound, and his Divine Skills formidable. Chen Jichuan’s Divine Power Avatar, with only a Fourth-order Peak cultivation, was already at its limit by taking the ’Primordial One Qi Thunder’ and ’Fire Dragon Pillar’ by surprise in front of him.
A moment’s hesitation and there would be no escape.
The only option was to destroy the thunder and the Fire Dragon Pillar and then swiftly end their life.
Faced with such a rogue tactic, Red Flower Ancestor felt very much at a loss, utterly helpless. Searching his memories exhaustively, he could not distinguish Chen Jichuan’s origins, only guessing it was a Daoist True Immortal, with an Avatar sent forth.
"Daoist True Immortal Avatar?"
Golden Silkworm and Tiancan also received detailed reports from their disciples, furrowing their brows.
The three hundred and twenty-four Demon Dao True Immortals encountered identical situations, all infiltrated and suddenly had their ’Primordial One Qi Thunder’ taken, followed by the loss of their ’Fire Dragon Pillar’.
Cultivation.
Divine Skills.
All identical.
This clearly cannot truly be three hundred Fourth-order peaks cultivated by the Daoist Sect.
After all, Fourth-order Peaks who can contend with True Immortals are rarer than the True Immortals themselves; the Daoist Sect couldn’t possibly cultivate so many, much less use them as expendables.
Moreover, the means they employed significantly differed from the Seven Great Divine Powers of the One Origin Dao Sect.
"It can’t be the Daoist Fourth-order."
"Nor can it be the Avatars of over three hundred Daoist True Immortals."
"Could it be that Yiyuan or Taisu has learned some Avatar Divine Skills in these years elsewhere?"
"But even with Avatars, relying on Fourth-order Peak cultivation to infiltrate major True Immortal Daoist Fields and deceive all eyes is by no means a trivial task."
Heavenly Defect Saint Master shook his head.
Golden Silkworm Ancestor sighed even deeper: "With our arrangements, the ’Three Talents Fire Dragon Formation’ should have been secure, but now—"
Now, with the ’Three Talents Fire Dragon Formation’ broken, a more significant aspect of the three demons’ plan is aborted.
The two demons looked toward Vermilion Blood Ancestor.
"No matter."
Vermilion Blood Ancestor calmed his mind.
He had prepared excessively thoroughly for today. Even if the ’Three Talents Fire Dragon Formation’ was broken and achieved nothing, he still remained confident in toppling Shenzhou.
With the arrow on the string, pondering more yielded no benefits.
Vermilion Blood Ancestor looked at the two demons, Golden Silkworm and Tiancan, and said in a deep voice: "’Three Talents Fire Dragon Formation’ being useless, I now ask the two Daoists to take action together, along with ’Primordial One Qi Thunder’, to shake Shenzhou!"
"Agreed!"
The two demons responded.
The next moment.
Vermilion Blood Ancestor moved with a thought, and over a hundred thousand Magic Power Avatars that had already been scattered across Shenzhou simultaneously detonated the remaining eleven thousand ’Primordial One Qi Thunder’.
This ’Primordial One Qi Thunder’ was originally meant to enhance the formation’s power, capable of flipping the heavens and earth in a short period.
But regrettably, the ’Three Talents Fire Dragon Formation’ was undermined.
Vermilion Blood Ancestor had no choice but to forcefully detonate the thunder.
The unaccompanied thunder was far less powerful than with the formation, but it still wielded the force to shake Shenzhou’s origin.
With a thought.
Lo and behold.
Rumble!
Rumble, rumble!
All over Shenzhou, the earth trembled and mountains shook.
Eastern Continent.
Western Continent.
Southern Continent.
Northern Continent.
Central Continent.
Various territories, whether sea or land, all were quivering.
Even those outside the explosion range were affected.
"What’s happening?"
"The earth is moving!"
"It’s over! It’s over! Run!"
The billions of living beings in Shenzhou were suffering at this moment.
Those within a hundred thousand square miles of the core were shaken to death in an instant, oblivious, blissfully unaware.
Those nearby felt the ground move beneath them, and in a flash, with a thunderous roar, followed by a crackling sound like myriad horses galloping, countless rocks and trees shot into the sky and flew about chaotically.
Suddenly the mountains crumbled.
Suddenly the ground sank.
Within the tremor zone, columns of smoke shot straight up from the earth, meeting the sunlight and transforming into clouds of fire, spreading out. Those near, if covered by the smoke, suffocated and died.
Subsequently, infinite fires erupted, rising ten thousand feet high, earth and stone liquefied and splashed, many forests catching fire and being engulfed.
Famous mountains and scenic spots, paradise lands, in a fleeting moment, became pits of mud and seas of fire.
It felt as though the apocalypse had arrived.
