The Master of Beasts-Chapter 676 - 195

The Purple Sun Ore is vast, not limited to just the Purple Sun Mountain, but spread throughout the entire Purple Sun Mountain Range.

However, to facilitate mining and management, the Five Elements Sect used mana to seal off all other entrances and exits, leaving only the center of Purple Sun Mountain accessible.

But these barriers have their limits; at most, they can stop a Heavenly Immortal. Some powerful Heavenly Immortals might even break through, but that would cause a big commotion. These barriers are interconnected, and if one is damaged, Chen Jiuge can immediately pinpoint the trouble spot through the great array.

"Senior Brother Tian Yue shouldn't choose to forcibly break through, right!"

Though the Purple Sun Mountain Range is large, for a Heavenly Immortal, if going all out, it's just a matter of moments, hardly enough time to completely evade Chen Jiuge's search!

The violet light reflected on the Double-Sword Mantis's emerald body, causing it to uneasily swing its blade arms, leaving two clear blade marks on the wall of the Purple Sun Ore.

On the ceiling of the mine, a strange ghost creature with one eye, no nose, and a mouth occupying half its face slowly protruded its upper body, with a trickle of brown saliva dripping from its mouth.

"Drip"

The brown saliva fell to the ground, catching the attention of the Double-Sword Mantis.

"Swish"

The blade flashed, and the ghost creature let out a wretched scream as its protruded upper body fell to the ground at a crooked angle.

"Squeak?"

"Hehehe"

A large crowd of eerie laughter erupted as a horde of one-eyed ghost creatures emerged from the stone wall, all gathered by Yi Qi earlier.

Faced with numerous foes, even the Double-Sword Mantis struggled. After a tough battle, it fell tragically, its blade arms shattered, along with a pile of one-eyed ghost creatures.

This was the first spiritual beast sent by Chen Jiuge to fall, and the moment it lost its breath, Chen Jiuge sensed it.

His divine sense scanned the last moments from the Double-Sword Mantis, and Chen Jiuge frowned, "Ghost creatures? Why are there ghost creatures in the Purple Sun Ore?"

It's known that even divine sense has difficulty reaching within the Purple Sun Ore, making it hard for Yin Qi to exist. Ghost creatures don't thrive in such an environment. In previous battles with ghost creatures, the Purple Sun Ore appeared unguarded, yet no ghost was spotted within.

After some thought, Chen Jiuge chose not to enter personally. Instead, he released a second wave of spiritual beasts. While slightly weaker than the first, they were more than enough to handle the one-eyed ghost creatures encountered by the Double-Sword Mantis.

"Has Senior Tian Yue allied with the underworld? But why?" Chen Jiuge was puzzled.

The underworld may seem intimidating now, but it's not actually in an advantageous position. If it weren't for every major sect managing their own territories, with the strongest holy lands watching coldly and only acting when their territory is encroached, they wouldn't be as restrained.

...........

Walking on the crystalline purple ground, Tian Yue cautiously looked at the Heavenly Guardian Butterfly in his hand. Whether he could find the item Yi Qi mentioned depended entirely on this little creature.

"Crack"

A small earthen mound rose from the ground, and a small stone statue emerged, waving its chubby yellow hands, then bowed and transformed into a handful of yellow earth.

Tian Yue frowned slightly and said, "A spiritual beast? It seems Junior Chen has reacted, but it should just be him. In that case, time is sufficient."

"Hurry, I have an uneasy feeling!" Yi Qi's weak voice emerged from Tian Yue's body.

"Alright, I'll do my best!"

"Slash"

With a cut to his palm, Tian Yue reluctantly forced out three drops of essence blood, his face turning pale, "I can only stimulate the Heavenly Guardian Butterfly."

Every cultivator's essence blood is constant. Regardless of cultivation level, unless practiced with a special cultivation technique, a cultivator has at most nine drops of essence blood.

Using three drops of essence blood at once was indeed a significant sacrifice for Tian Yue.

Nourished forcefully with three drops of essence blood by Tian Yue, the Heavenly Guardian Butterfly let out a faint hiss, its blue body swelling slightly, with a trace of blood red now tinging the outer edges of its wings.

Carefully drawing out a transparent jade bottle, a purple-black airflow could be seen swirling inside from the outside.

He opened a barely perceptible slit, and let the Heavenly Guardian Butterfly take a whiff, Tian Yue said in a deep voice, "Find it!"

"Flap, flap"

The Heavenly Guardian Butterfly flapped its wings and slowly flew forward, with Tian Yue quickly following.

On the other side, as many spiritual beasts poured in, the ghost creatures in the mine could no longer hide themselves.

In the dreamlike, beautiful purple mine, blood was splattered everywhere, the purple ore tainted, and the anguished wails echoed continuously in the deep mine.

"Quickly, my injuries are severe and the number of ghost creatures summoned aren't many. Your junior's spiritual beasts are too many!" Yi Qi exclaimed in both surprise and anger.

Are spiritual beasts not a resource? Have the cultivators in the True Realm become so extravagant now?

"Hold on a little longer!"

Tian Yue closely followed the leisurely flying Heavenly Guardian Butterfly, his tone filled with helplessness.

The Heavenly Guardian Butterfly, though miraculous, was fragile, unable to be forced. If it became upset and stopped working, then they would truly be trapped.

"Boom"

"Found it!"

The loud clap of thunder mixed with Tian Yue's cry of delight!

At the cave entrance, Chen Jiuge gazed at the giant purple sword splitting open a great gap, a trace of dread on his face: "A Golden Immortal? No, should be a Daluo!"
