Chapter 281 One Strike! A Long Journey Home! (4000)

Zhang Yuanzhu stretched out his palm, his five fingers tightly gripping the Baoshan Seal, his mind trembling slightly.

Streams of magical power surged forth like waves, rushing into the great seal and leaving their own marks.

Time passed second by second, and the dark seal began to tremble, with rays of light blooming and illuminating the cave.

hum~
The Baoshan Seal trembled suddenly, its halo receding and shrinking rapidly.

"All right!"

The young man lowered his gaze, toying with the small black seal in his palm.

During the Foundation Establishment stage, the first spiritual artifact was successfully refined.

He carefully examined the magical artifact, then placed the Mountain-Embracing Seal into his bosom.

He stretched out his palm, picked up the Bloodlight Pearl, and began to refine it.

Following the same steps, in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Bloodlight Pearl left its mark and was completely refined.

Next came the Azure Fire Furnace.

Zhang Yuanzhu looked ahead, staring at the tiny cracks in the bronze furnace wall, a flash of memory crossing his eyes.

The journey to Fallen Demon Mountain is extremely dangerous. Only by relying on the formation to activate the spiritual weapon and by using the weapon-assembly formation to squeeze out its potential can one kill the enemy.

He shook his head, clearing his mind of distracting thoughts.

He reached out and pressed his palm against the wall of the Azure Flame Furnace, refining it with all his might.

Soon, he had mastered all three magical artifacts.

Zhang Yuanzhu hung the Bloodlight Bead on his waist, next to the White Bone Bead, and put the Azure Fire Furnace in his bosom for easy access.

"Three magical artifacts are enough to deal with the battle for a short time."

The young man had deep-set, double pupils, and his arms were resting flat on his knees.

The Bloodlight Pearl protects oneself, while the Mountain Embracing Seal and Azure Fire Furnace attack enemies, providing both defense and offense.

In addition, with the natal artifact on his spiritual platform, although he had only just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, his combat power was extremely formidable.

The matter of the magical artifact has been resolved; now it's time to consider one's own condition.

Zhang Yuanzhu closed his eyes and looked inward into the depths of his soul.

The Seven Treasures Tree, which had remained silent since sprouting its third leaf, has undergone a tremendous change.

The Seven Treasures Tree began to grow again, and the fourth tender leaf unfurled from the trunk.

At the same time, red and blue light spread upwards from the roots, illuminating the entire sapling.

The youth silently watched the intertwined and colliding brilliance.

Under that sacred light, he vaguely heard the roars of gods and demons, and the prayers of billions of living beings.

"I can now control four items."

Zhang Yuanzhu murmured, a thought flashing through his mind.

Four items emerged from the green leaves: a golden mace, a blue thunder ruler, a green fruit pit, and a yellowish prescription.

The mirror, forged with red and blue light, is also changing.

Master of Supernatural Powers: Zhang Yuanzhu
Mastery: [Level 2] Golden Mace (Trait: Mountain Moving)

[Level 2] Azure Ruler (Trait: Thunder Soul)

[Level 1] Sal Tree Bark (Trait: Comet Heart)

[Level 1] Azure Star Fruit Core (Characteristic: Vitality)

Realm: Foundation Establishment Level 1 (65.15%)

Cultivation Techniques: "Five Viscera Ice-Drawing Transformation Technique" and "Record of Blazing Sun True Fire"

Skills: Nuo Opera and Witchcraft
With the breakthrough in his cultivation realm, the supernatural tree deep within his mind also underwent a transformation, gaining the ability to control four items.

Strength, talent, wisdom, and recovery—these four traits combined are relatively balanced, yet they can take into account various aspects.

Moreover, he had only just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and he had already completed most of the first stage of Foundation Establishment.

This is also thanks to the profound accumulation of Qi Refining stage, which was completely unleashed during the breakthrough and transformed into power.

Call ~
Zhang Yuanzhu slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, opened his closed eyes, and stood up.

He surveyed the cave.

"It's time to leave!"

They took steps and walked towards the ground.

With each step, the cave trembled.

When the young man stepped onto the ground, the entire cave collapsed with a roar, burying all traces.

Zhang Yuanzhu waved his sleeves, and the array patterns he had arranged around him began to dissipate and gradually dissolve.

Once the last array pattern disappeared, the young man strode north, preparing to leave.

However, after taking only three or four steps, the figure suddenly stopped.

A strange laugh escaped from his mouth.

"There is no shortage of people in this world who seek death."

Before the words had even faded, two figures slowly appeared on the horizon, an old man and a young man staring coldly at the youth.

Each of them exuded a powerful aura, indicating they were all at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Judging from their auras, the old man was at the third level of Foundation Establishment and was about to enter the fourth level, while the young man was at the second level of Foundation Establishment.

Both of them seemed to be much better than Zhang Yuanzhu.

"The younger generation has good eyesight, but it's a pity that they have to end their cultivation journey just after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

The old man had a hoarse voice, wore a black cloak, and had his silver hair casually draped over his shoulders.

He had been here for many days, hiding in the shadows and spying for a long time, intending to ambush and kill, but he was discovered in advance.

However, the opponent's aura was clearly that he had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, so it wouldn't be too strong.

"Elder Insect, the other party can see through the invisibility Gu, which means he has some skill. He can be used as a Gu Insect human nest."

The boy's face was pale, but his eyes were burning as he gazed at the young man, his green robe fluttering in the wind.

A pale blue poisonous mist erupted, rising and falling like a giant net, covering the sky and the earth, blocking all escape routes.

This time, he and Elder Chong crossed the starry sea to come to the Demon Land to search for spirit insects. Unexpectedly, they did not find the spirit insects, but instead found the nest where the Gu insects were stored.

Zhang Yuanzhu's expression was indifferent, his arms hanging naturally at his sides, his head slightly tilted as he gazed at the spreading poisonous fog.

"The Soul-Eating Poison Hall?"

kill!

A chilling killing intent soared into the sky, shattering the poisonous mist that filled the air.

He always remembered Xie Beiling's evaluation of the Soul-Eating Poison Palace and his response.

Either run away immediately or kill them directly. Don't waste any words.

The next moment, a large black seal flew out and hovered in front of him.

The young man raised his arms, slightly bent, as if embracing mountains and rivers.

Boom!

A majestic mountain, rooted in the earth, piercing the sky, and covering an area of ​​dozens of miles, appeared between heaven and earth.

In that instant, the heavens and earth trembled, and space was plunged into darkness.

Whether young or old, they all stared blankly at the vast, towering mountain, their eyes filled with confusion.

Is this a cultivator who has just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage?

How could it be so powerful!

A thousand thoughts swirled in my mind, all transforming into the will to survive.

If you can't withstand this attack, you'll die!
"Young Yun, come and kill with me!"

The old insect roared to the sky, and a colorful flying sword appeared in front of him.

A colorful poisonous fog filled the air, and centipedes, geckos, scorpions, snakes, and spiders—the five most venomous creatures in the world—emerged from the fog, looking ferocious and terrifying.

The sharp chirping of insects, incessant and repetitive, was irritating.

The old insect seal changes rapidly.

The Five Poisons Sword's light surged higher and higher, like a five-colored sword pillar, slashing upwards towards the sky.

At the same time, the pale face of the young cultivator turned emerald green, and his eyes transformed into beastly pupils.

He braced himself on all fours, his cheeks puffed out.

Wow~wow~wow~
The croaking of toads echoed across the sky and the earth, and the pale blue poisonous fog turned into a deep green.

These poisonous mists condensed and transformed, forming a green toad two hundred feet tall, roaring towards the sky.

It crashed into Mount Tai with a thunderous roar.

The old man and the young man used their strongest methods almost instantly.

The toad, the Five Poisons Sword Light, and the Dark Mountain—three attacks, relentless...
near!

near!!
Get closer!!!
Until they touch!

There was no stalemate; the majestic mountain instantly shattered the sword light and destroyed the toad.

It crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

Rumble!
Amidst a deafening roar, the earth trembled violently, surging and spreading like waves. Billowing dust rose, obscuring the sky and blurring the world.

Just then, a five-colored sword light burst forth, like a swimming fish, tearing through the dust and escaping at lightning speed.

Zhang Yuanzhu remained expressionless, lowering his arms and raising them, the Baoshan Seal silently hovering in front of him.

Spread your fingers wide, and the sun, moon, and stars will bloom in your palm, rising in the east and setting in the west.

Heaven and earth began to turn upside down, and the dust that filled the sky was suddenly cleared away.

The five fingers, spread out, slowly clenched together, as if all things in the world were held within a small space.

The rapidly fleeing five-colored sword light trembled violently before exploding with a bang.

Like fireworks, they burst forth in the sky, dazzling yet tragic.

Both Foundation Establishment cultivators perished within a few breaths.

Zhang Yuanzhu lowered his arm, recalling the crushing defeat he had just witnessed, nodded in satisfaction, and smiled.

They took a step forward and walked towards the wreckage.

What came into view was a pool of blood, with bits of flesh scattered everywhere, making it impossible to recognize anything, and even the storage bag was torn to pieces.

The young man glanced at it, and the white bone bead at his waist flew out, hovering in the flesh and blood, and began to absorb the remaining essence.

Only after the flesh and blood had turned to ash did he begin to walk again toward the place where the old man had died.

It was just a pile of minced meat; the storage bag self-destructed, and a cracked flying sword plunged into the soil.

The white bone beads floated out and began to absorb the essence of flesh and blood.

Zhang Yuanzhu stretched out his palm and gently beckoned, and the Five Poisons Flying Sword appeared in front of him.

The sweet aroma instantly fills the nose, calming the blood and qi slightly.

"Ah!"

"It's quite toxic."

A soft laugh rang out, causing his muscles and bones to tremble, and his blood to surge like a mighty river.

In an instant, the toxins in the body were evaporated.

A crimson-gold radiance bloomed at his fingertips, covering his palm as he gripped the Five Poisons Flying Sword.

The young man whispered in his heart:

'Take control!'

In an instant, the Five Poisons Sword vanished.

However, the flying sword reappeared very soon.

Zhang Yuanzhu shook his head. This flying sword was a low-grade spiritual weapon, but unfortunately it lacked any special properties.

It's severely damaged now and has little value left.

As he pondered, he lightly tapped the sword with his five fingers, and array patterns appeared, sealing the flying sword.

Then, Zhang Yuanzhu took out a jade box from his bosom, put the Five Poisons Sword inside, and sealed it away.

By the time the youths were inspecting their spoils, the white bone beads had already absorbed all the flesh and blood.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the blood and flesh scattered on the ground turned into dust and dispersed with the wind.

Zhang Yuanzhu held the falling white bone beads in his hand.

He could sense a feeling of fullness from the corpse demon's faint intelligence.

The young man rubbed the white bone beads between his five fingers, his double pupils deep and unfathomable.

The Bone Demon has completely digested the flesh and blood, which should allow it to advance to the next level.

However, the third level of Foundation Establishment was already the limit for this corpse demon, and it was powerless to climb higher.

However, the major repair at the third level of Foundation Establishment would be of little help to him now.

After all, he could kill a Foundation Establishment Level 3 cultivator with a single strike.

"I can't keep up with the cultivation progress!"

Zhang Yuanzhu sighed softly.

He hung the white bone bead around his waist, turned around, and headed north.

His figure gradually receded into the distance, and soon disappeared at the edge of the earth.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

A dozen or so figures arrived at the battlefield, gazing upon the ravaged land.

"Chong Xue and Yun Han both died here."

The figure, shrouded in a black robe, stretched out his palm, seemingly sensing something.

A moment later, a clear laugh rang out:
"The two were crushed to death here, and their resistance was not fierce."

"The enemy is very strong!"

The laughter was cheerful, and they seemed neither saddened nor angry about the deaths of the two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"We are all of the same kind, so there's no need for such talk."

A burly cultivator whispered instructions.

"Hey! Hey! Ha! Ha!"

Before the words were even finished, bursts of laughter, tinged with various emotions, rose from the crowd.

"The Five Poisons lineage cultivators are dead, so be it. It's not like we killed them. Why are you angry, Senior Brother?"

"What nonsense about the Five Poisons Returning to One? That's a completely wrong path. I've wanted to kill them for a long time."

"The true path of poison lies solely in the Celestial Human lineage, which walks the correct path. Even Ye Jinxian, who was proficient in deduction, shed blood for it and was surrounded and killed in the center of the Star Sea."

A cacophony of noise arose until a hoarse whisper rang out, and then all the sounds fell silent.

"Should we pursue the enemy?"

"No need. We have important business here. The deaths of two Foundation Establishment cultivators are a trivial matter."

"Okay." "I agree." "Yes."

No cultivator objected, nor did any cultivator choose to pursue the enemy.

For the poison cultivators of the Celestial-Human lineage, heretics are often more detestable than enemies.

Chong Xue and Yun Han are dead, that's all. It's already good enough that they came to take a look. As for revenge...
How can it be!

A month later.

Zhang Yuanzhu traveled at a fast pace and stopped in front of a cliff.

"Is this the cliff described in Fairy Ye's jade slip?"

The young man stood amidst the yellow sand, looking up at the chasm that stretched straight into the clouds, its end invisible to him.

This natural barrier stretches endlessly, blocking the demon race's path eastward.

Zhang Yuanzhu carefully examined the cliff face, and at the same time took out the jade slip given to him by Ye Jinxian to check the return route.

"This is the place."

Zhang Yuanzhu nodded slightly. The terrain here was special, which restricted magical power and blood energy, so he could only climb with his physical body.

However, once you climb over the cliff, the confinement will disappear, and after passing through a few more dangerous places, you will be able to return to the ancient cliff mountain.

Compared to other dead ends, this path is undoubtedly much safer, and it is the foundation of Yi Xing Dao Maiden.

Since the route was correct, he no longer hesitated.

Stepping before the chasm, the magical power within his body instantly subsided.

Zhang Yuanzhu stared expressionlessly at the dark rock wall, his palm outstretched.

Bang!
With a sudden press of his five fingers, pebbles flew everywhere, revealing a palm print that was only an inch long.

The young man frowned slightly. The force of his palm strike was enough to shatter a hill, leaving only a palm print on the rock wall.

"interesting!"

His brow relaxed and the corners of his mouth turned up.

His hand fell to his side, and he carried the Dragon-Binding Blade behind his back.

He stretched out his hand, grabbed the protruding rock, and began to climb, quickly ascending upwards.

His skin, muscles, bones, and internal organs all vibrated, unleashing wave after wave of immense power, making him even faster, as if he were running across the earth, rushing forward.

Ten miles!

Baili!!
Two thousand miles!!!
Even as Zhang Yuanzhu began to pant slightly, his blood surging like the sea, the [Special Ability] of Moving Mountains deep within his mind continuously empowered his body.

According to the jade slip, this cliff is a full ten thousand li long.

In other words, we are now less than halfway up the mountain.

And this is still a relatively safe route, no wonder the demon race has been repelled time and time again when they attacked.

The terrain is too treacherous.

Time continued to pass, but the young man's climbing speed did not decrease, and he quickly approached the top of the cliff.

A day has passed!
Three days have passed!!
Five days have passed!!!

Seven days later, a red figure, panting heavily, climbed up and stood on the cliff top.
