Chapter 1051: Chapter 1050: The Aura of the Mountain Chapter 1051: Chapter 1050: The Aura of the Mountain The brocade-robed elder snorted, his expression no longer as calm and steady as before, and a slight sense of terror began to rise within him.
His alarm stemmed from the power exhibited by the straw-coated elder with every move he made.
With just a slight shake of the bamboo pole, it had given the brocade-robed elder a shocking feeling as if the heavens were overturned and the stars were shifted. If the straw-coated elder were to strike with his full power, what kind of might that would be?
Although the brocade-robed elder hailed from Ancient Demon Ridge and was an Ancient Beast who had lived for ten thousand years, and had seen many formidable beings and possessed formidable strength himself,
now, he knew that if he were to face this straw-coated elder, the chances of defeat were substantial.
“East Pole, I had not thought you had reached such a level. Unfortunately, the trend cannot be defied. Today, as long as I am here, you cannot make a move unless you kill me. However, I don’t think you can do that,” the brocade-robed elder said coldly.
The straw-coated elder didn’t even glance at him, his gaze fixed on the calm surface of the lake, as if waiting for some small fish or shrimp to take the bait.
“Kill you? Perhaps I could give it a try,” the straw-coated elder said offhandedly.
Whoo~~
The silent wind swept across the lake, the small boat slightly moved, the bamboo pole lightly shook, but the killing intent had, in that instant, permeated the entire universe.
Everything seemed to e to a plete standstill, except for the straw-coated elder, who sat upright in the boat, as if he were the sovereign of heaven and earth.
The brocade-robed elder’s footing became unstable as if he had lost all his strength, and with a splash, he fell into the lake.
“Haha, you old bird, now you’ve turned into a drenched chicken,” the straw-coated elder said with a laugh, clearly delighted.
The brocade-robed elder immediately surged out of the water, flew into the sky, and with a turn of his demon Qi, he evaporated all the moisture, his face darkening.
“East Pole, do you really want to fight me?” the brocade-robed elder asked gravely, extremely wary of the straw-coated elder.
The straw-coated elder smiled faintly, “Didn’t you e here to fight with me? Why are you being so cautious now? Are you afraid of an old wreck like me?”
An old wreck?
The brocade-robed elder rolled his eyes. You’re an old wreck? Where is there an old wreck as vigorous as you?
“East Pole, I admit you are very strong, strong to a level I cannot contend with. But you should think carefully, I represent Ancient Demon Ridge, and if I cannot withstand you, naturally, more Ancient Demons will e to stop you. You should know, within Ancient Demon Ridge, how many powerful Ancient Demons there are. This is not something you can control alone, unless there is a result,” the brocade-robed elder said.
The straw-coated elder sighed, “Alas, I did not plan to make a move. How the situation develops, we can only leave it to fate. I assume you all from Ancient Demon Ridge are even more anxious about this matter.”
The expression of the brocade-robed elder darkened, and indeed, for Ancient Demon Ridge, the incident happening in Chaos Demon Valley was of more concern and importance than for anyone else or any other power.
The reason being this matter related to whether a new Demon Saint would be born, and it also affected the rise and decline of the Demon Beast clan thereafter.
“I guess the other three old fellows also got held back by your people from Ancient Demon Ridge. You really have made a big investment this time,” the straw-coated elder said.
The brocade-robed elder remained silent, still confronting him.
…
In Chaos Demon Valley, the Sky-Swallowing Fox invoked the Beast Cauldron, using his immense demon Qi to stimulate the Beast Cauldron and unleash its most powerful force.
Countless roars of Ancient Beasts echoed from within the Beast Cauldron, shaking heaven and earth.
Visible to the naked eye, over the Beast Cauldron emerged countless shadows of Ancient Beasts, each terrifyingly extraordinary.
Countless Ancient Beasts emerged as the Demon Qi converged, transforming into a force of one powerful strike.
This was a strike from the Beast Cauldron, as well as an extremely potent strike released by the countless Ancient Beasts.
Undoubtedly, the strength of this strike was such that few within the Nine Countries could withstand it.
Yet at this moment, this supremely formidable strike was used to destroy a mountain peak.
Boom!!!
The incredibly powerful strike came slantingly, acpanied by the united roars of the countless Ancient Beasts.
The mountain was pletely engulfed by this mighty force, the ground trembled violently, and Monkey Head Town was also affected.
Of course, this small town was still protected by an unknown force and was not destroyed, not even by the terrifying power of the Beast Cauldron.
Everyone looked towards the mountain peak, uncertain if it still existed, wondering if it had been destroyed; if so, had the previous generation’s Demon Saint perished along with the mountain?
The Sky-Swallowing Fox stared intently at the site, and as the dust settled, the mountain peak still stood there, majestic and unscathed.
Seeing this, the Sky-Swallowing Fox was dumbfounded and felt her entire life as a demon going awry.
What was this all about? She had used the Beast Cauldron, even exerted all her might, yet not a single stone had fallen from that darn mountain. Wasn’t that a bit too much?
The Sky-Swallowing Fox felt like she was going insane; never had she been so frustrated. Was she really being driven to the brink of madness?
If the mountain did not destroy, the former Demon Saint would not perish, and her ambitions would be thwarted.
Yet this mountain seemed to be deliberately opposing her; no matter how she used her powers, she could not affect it.
“Young man, this mountain is extraordinary, there is an inexplicable power within it, a power beyond imagination, utterly formidable,” said Old Dried Corpse, his tone grave.
Not that he needed to say it, Fang Lin was no fool and could obviously see that this mountain was not formed naturally; it was definitely arranged by an unimaginable powerhouse.
The purpose of doing so, apart from suppressing the previous generation’s Demon Saint, likely also included a protective intent.
Otherwise, this mountain would not be so abnormal.
“This mountain is somewhat strange,” Fang Lin suddenly said, his expression one of confusion and perplexity.
“Young man, even a fool could see that this mountain is strange,” Old Dried Corpse stated.
Fang Lin shook his head; what he meant by strange was not just that, but that the mountain gave him a sense of familiarity.
Especially when the Beast Cauldron attacked the mountain, there was a force inside that periodically emerged, unsettling Fang Lin’s mind.
Although it had been a very long time, Fang Lin could not be mistaken about this force. In the entirety of the Nine Heavens and earth, across the ageless eons, only one person possessed such power, and there was no second.
Martial Lord—Fang Qingye!
The mountain possessed the power of Fang Lin’s father, Fang Qingye; even just a trace of it was enough for Fang Lin to feel it.
“Could it be that this mountain was arranged by my father? Was the previously missing Demon Saint suppressed by him?” Fang Lin thought, finding it incredibly unbelievable.
Was his father also involved in the affairs of the previous generation’s Demon Saint?
