A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 319 The Bearded Man Who Was Targeted

The thousand peaks descended, seemingly pressing down on a figure who had intruded into the suppression area, along with the abandoned physical body of the Qi-surname cultivator.

However, the perception of the Nascent Soul elder, with his keen senses, was not so clear.

Master Mu, the one who activated the Thousand Peaks, gradually had his joy at achieving victory replaced by a solemn expression.

The next moment, he cried out in shock:

"impossible!"

Accompanying this exclamation were countless exclamations of surprise from the witnesses:

"how is this possible?"

The figure that should have been suppressed by the ancient mountain was now supporting the entire thousand-peaked mountain with one arm.

Then, he took a step forward with ease and steadiness.

With each step he took, the figure of Qian Chongfeng, supported by one arm, grew taller, and his body was gradually filled with an increasingly powerful purple-gold radiance.

This person had only taken a dozen or so steps, but had already covered more than two hundred feet.

"It's Fellow Daoist Man..."

"I heard he's a body cultivator..."

"With such physical strength and abilities, he could probably fight the legendary Demon King in a physical battle, right?"

Accompanied by gasps of surprise, Thousand Peaks was lifted up again.

"Amazing."

"Is this a respected elder from our Tiannan region?"

With such figures sweeping ahead, we have nothing to worry about.

The morale of the Tiannan army was greatly boosted.

On the other hand, the mages on Mulan's side, from the Nascent Soul stage to the Foundation Establishment stage, were all in a heavy mood.

"There's actually such a powerful expert in Tiannan?"

Ahead, the hundred-zhang-tall mountain peak was lifted up by a single arm.

Beneath the Thousand Peaks, a giant several tens of feet tall, covered in golden scales, strode toward them with an air of utter indifference.

It was the bearded man who had pushed the Heaven-Supporting Demonic Art to its limit and manifested his golden body.

Its towering, golden form, several tens of feet tall, became the focus of the entire audience.

...

"This is definitely not the kind of cultivation technique that Tiannan should have, given its incomplete lineage!"

Deep within the Mulan camp, a figure whose face was hidden beneath a black robe and whose aura was completely concealed spoke in a solemn tone.

"My lord, according to our spies, this group from the Tiannan Xuantian Sect may be from our Great Jin, from the sect of that legendary Nascent Soul cultivator. But we don't know if this news is true or false, since we have never heard of the names of Barbarian Beard and Qing Yi."

A hoarse, unpleasant female voice rang out from beside the figure in black robes.

This woman's appearance was stunning, her beauty rivaling that of the two beauties. However, her unpleasant voice was enough to give anyone goosebumps.

"There are thousands of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Great Jin Dynasty, and sixty or seventy great cultivators. It would not be difficult for Xiling Mountain to hide a few of them."

The man in black robes slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"Moreover, although Xiling Mountain, where you are from, is one of the top ten sects of the righteous path, and the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect is no less than that of my Yinluo Sect, it has no intention of expanding outwards at all. They have always kept a low profile and rarely show their faces in public. I am not surprised at all that these people come from Xiling Mountain."

"Even if they are not from Xiling Mountain, they must have some connection with that senior. It's best if we don't provoke them."

"In short, it's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't."

The man in black robes looked around the arena, his eyes filled with apprehension.

...

The battlefield.

Since the Barbarian Beard, a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, had intervened, Mulan's side naturally also had a mid-Nascent Soul expert appear.

The person who made the move was named Ku Yue.

The High Master of the Fire Department.

The cultivation level is at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

He has refined several fire spirits.

At this moment, a firebird materialized to fight the barbarian. The fire spirit, transformed into a bird several dozen feet tall, continuously spewed out extremely hot fire spirit essence, its power enough to incinerate mountains and boil seas. Even the barbarian's golden body was illuminated by the firelight, turning it a deep red.

For a time, the two fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand.

However, the bearded man, who was fighting with only one hand and protecting the Qi-surname cultivator's body with the other, quickly created an opening, giving him a chance to kill.

He punched Qianchongfeng with all his might, so that the ancient treasure wouldn't be hanging above his head and getting in his way.

At the same time, he forcefully threw out the physical body of the Qi-surnamed cultivator in his hand.

The cultivator surnamed Qi is here.

The Nascent Soul beings were already dejected and extremely annoyed.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw the physical body flying towards him:

"Ah?!"

Why does this thing look so familiar?

Immediately.

Overjoyed, ecstatic.

"My physical body."

The Nascent Soul cultivator immediately rushed forward excitedly:
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Man..."

Many other cultivators from Tiannan secretly praised the barbarian's noble character.

However, due to this action, the golden statue of the barbarian bearded man had its chest wide open.

"careful!"

Someone from the south reminded me.

"Chance."

Upon seeing this, the fire spirit conjured by the cave leaped brightened up, let out a cry, and then spread its wings and flew away swiftly.

In a flash, he closed in on the bearded man, unleashing a blazing beam of light that shot straight towards the bearded man's wide-open chest:
"Go to hell."

This beam of light, condensed from the essence of fire, would burn even a transformed demon beast to a pulp if it took a direct hit from it. He didn't believe that a mere mortal body could remain unscathed.

However, that golden giant, tens of feet tall, showed him with astonishing facts what pure body cultivation truly meant.

The bearded man stood there, proudly displaying his chest covered in golden scales, letting the fire spirit essence burn him.

The only change was that his brow furrowed slightly.

It wasn't that it felt hot, but rather that the Fire Spirit Essence was somewhat inferior to the Three Yang Old Demon's "Azure Yang Thunderfire".

It is only slightly more powerful than the Azure Yang Fire Thunder that the Three Yang Old Demon forged by combining spiritual materials with his own Azure Yang Thunder Fire, and is comparable to the Extreme Yin Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire and Wen Tianren's Golden Light Divine Flame.

Qingyang Thunderfire can still injure him.

However, the Heavenly Corpse Fire and the Golden Divine Flame could not penetrate his defenses in the slightest when he was in perfect condition, unless his magic power was insufficient.

After all, his current body is now so strong that it is impervious to water and fire.

of course.

The exceptions are Qingyang Thunderfire and the even stronger Qianlan Ice Flame.

"As expected of the number one defensive demonic art in the Chaotic Star Sea."

Qingyi and the others secretly praised it.

Han Li nodded in agreement.

Barbarian Beard grinned:

"Is this all your flames can do? I gave you a chance, but you seem a bit useless."

The sudden opening of the golden Dharma image startled Ku Yue.

Realizing that his fire spirit essence was ineffective against the powerful enemy in front of him, he immediately tried to retreat.

But at that moment, a gigantic hand, carrying a chilling aura, suddenly reached out:
Where are you planning to go?

In that instant, the golden dharma image's attack speed increased dramatically compared to before, and it actually grabbed the fire spirit that was trying to fly away.

"How is that possible? I am a fire spirit, just a ball of flame. How could you possibly grasp my physical form?"

Ku Yue exclaimed in horror.

The Fire Spirit form has no physical form, so normally it is not easily harmed by abilities that are not its counter.

But he was caught red-handed. "Heh."

The bearded man sneered.

On the arm he used to attack, a wrist guard crackled with lightning, while an adjacent bracelet emitted a subtle, chilling aura. The former was a fine ancient treasure, the Thunder Wrist Guard, and the latter was a high-grade ancient treasure, the Purple Ice Bracelet.

The high-grade ancient treasure, the Purple Ice Bracelet, possesses ice-based divine abilities that can neutralize the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire and the Eight Gates Golden Light Divine Flame. This is a perfect counter to fire spirits.

"That's a rare ancient ice-type treasure containing ice-type divine abilities? And it's of a very high grade?"

No wonder I was caught in the act.

Got it!

Sensing the danger, Ku Yue immediately struggled desperately.

But his meager strength was no match for the barbarian's divine power.
The golden hand was like an iron clamp.

"not good!"

Several streaks of light flew out from the Mulan camp, attempting to rescue them.

The next moment, the bearded man had already grabbed one of the Fire Spirit's wings with a sinister grin.

"stop…"

"Please show mercy."

"Fellow Daoist, let's talk this out..."

Several Nascent Soul stage Grandmasters from Mulan, who were attempting to provide assistance, hurriedly transmitted their messages.

One of the most eager among the Yuanzhong masters of the Fire Worshiping Clan was...

But the barbarian was completely unaffected, grabbing the wings and tearing them apart with both hands.

"no, do not want…"

The fire spirit let out a terrified cry.

Countless flames rained down, accompanied by heart-wrenching screams.

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence for a moment.

Then came a series of exclamations:

"Master Kuyue!"

"How brave!"

"... "

Barbarian Beard didn't care about anything else. Instead, he discarded the half-human body that appeared after the flames went out and grabbed the other side where the head was.

The nascent soul is still hidden inside.

However, just as Ku Yue was about to succeed in his attempt, Qian Chongfeng teleported back and hovered above his head, showering down a strong earthy yellow light. This caused him to pause, and he frowned, then looked up coldly at Master Mu, who had a solemn expression not far away.

Master Mu felt a chill run down his spine.

"Humph!"

Obstructed like this, Ku Yue's nascent soul seized the opportunity to escape.

It's impossible for him to catch up now.

"Pity."

The Tiannan camp was filled with regret.

If we can eliminate a formidable mid-stage Nascent Soul expert from the Mulan before the final battle, it will be a huge advantage.

Unfortunately, the Muran mage's remedy was too swift.

Meanwhile, the Mulan camp breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, the Nascent Soul has escaped."

As long as Ku Yue's nascent soul is still intact, he can possess a Core Formation stage body that is willing to be offered up after returning home, and then use precious spiritual items to recuperate for more than a month. He should be able to participate in the upcoming decisive battle.

Even with a significant loss of strength, he is still a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

"This barbarian is quite strong. I thought some of the information that circulated that day was exaggerated, but now it seems that I underestimated him."

"Such a body cultivator would probably require at least two cultivators of the same level to restrain."

"Tiannan truly is a place where hidden talents abound..."

but.

There was one person who, while deeply regretting the severe damage to Ku Yue's vitality, was also secretly pleased and looking forward to it.

This person was none other than the Holy Maiden of Mulan.

It's not that she has a grudge against Ku Yue; quite the opposite, she has an excellent relationship with Ku Yue of the Fire Worship Tribe. As a Holy Maiden, she has good relationships with most of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the ten major tribes of Mulan.

She was secretly pleased because Ku Yue had discovered some of the barbarian's methods and fighting style.

In particular, they discovered the physical combat style of the barbarian bearded man.

"Gentlemen, I am going to fight."

Master Le spoke.

"what?"

The Nascent Soul Grandmasters of Mulan turned around in astonishment.

"I want to meet that barbarian."

“Holy Maiden, this person is incredibly powerful. With your strength, you might not be able to gain the upper hand.”

Someone quickly offered some well-intentioned advice.

They didn't want anything to happen to their holy maiden.

Upon hearing this, Master Yue smiled. Even though she hadn't practiced any seductive arts, but rather Buddhist techniques, her charm at this moment still surpassed countless alluring women.
"Rest assured, everyone. I am not acting rashly, but because I have the ability to give this man a lesson he will never forget! Have you forgotten the Yuanming Lamp, the treasure of my clan? Isn't that barbarian relying on his strong physique and immunity to fire magic? Let him experience the power of the lamp's flame."

With the magic lamp in hand, she looked forward to giving the barbarian a big gift.

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

After a moment of careful thought, everything suddenly became clear.

"it is good."

"If we can take advantage of his complacency after just extinguishing the fire spirit essence, we can definitely make him suffer from the Yuanming Lamp Flame."

Killing someone is difficult, but inflicting serious injury is not.

The thought of facing the powerful barbarian in the final battle made many of them feel a little apprehensive.

But the thought that Yuanming Lantern Flame could severely injure the barbarian instantly dispelled the great anxiety in his heart.

"Holy Maiden, it's up to you now."

then.

Amidst the watchful eyes of all the Mulan monks, Master Le stepped forward and challenged the barbarian to a duel:
"Fellow Daoist, do you dare to fight?"

Barbarian Hu Zi, naturally welcoming all comers, was about to agree when he heard Han Li's voice in his ear:
"I come."

Upon seeing Master Yue appear, how could Han Li not understand the little scheme of the Mulan people?

They were just taking advantage of the fact that Man Da Han didn't know anything about Yuan Mingdeng.
