Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

Seeing that all was lost, the high priest drove the last batch of tens of thousands of children into the blood pool.

Lin Zhao finally moved. The Divine Soul Sword Tower in his sea of ​​consciousness emitted a sword cry, and the invisible sword energy pierced through the barrier of space, instantly shattering the High Priest's consciousness.

The high priest's body stiffened for a moment; his soul had already shattered, but his dead body...

Relying on instincts ingrained in his bones for decades, he climbed step by step into the pool of blood, eventually melting into the dark red blood.

More than half of the remaining children also jumped into the blood pool, but were held down by the cultivators who rushed up.

Lin Zhao glanced at the cultivators who were rescuing people. They were also barbarians, barbarians who had been rescued by the Heavenly Law Divine Sect. Now they were wearing the Taoist robes of the Heavenly Law Divine Sect and were pulling their former compatriots back from the edge of the blood pool on the battlefield.

These rescued children were taken away from Southern Continent and given a new education, but some special marks, once etched in their minds, cannot be erased.

After clearing the outer areas, the army advanced into the core area of ​​the Manxiao tribe.

The tribe worships a mountain demon, which is nearly a thousand feet tall and stands almost level with the mountain peaks on both sides.

Its entire body was covered in long, dark gray fur, beneath which lay rock-like, uneven skin.

The moment it saw the army of cultivators, it let out a deafening roar, its claws plunging into a nearby mountain hundreds of feet high, uprooting the entire peak from the ground.

The rocks at the point where the mountain fractured emitted a deafening roar, and countless bits of soil and gravel poured down from the crack.

The mountain demon lifted the entire mountain above its head and slammed it down on the army of cultivators.

The mountain peaks, hundreds of feet high, tumbled in the air, their shadows covering half the sky.

If this attack were to land among the cultivator army, the aftershocks could wipe out most of the army.

Tian Hao snorted coldly, and the Purple Dragon Pattern Chariot beneath his feet suddenly shone with purple light, transforming the entire chariot into a purple star, trailing a purple tail flame hundreds of feet long as it crashed head-on into the mountain peak.

The moment of impact silenced heaven and earth, then a deafening roar erupted, the mountain disintegrated in mid-air, and countless fragments of rock flew in all directions, creating a rain of stones that stretched for miles around.

The shockwave leveled the forest below, uprooting trees and sending them flying into the air, while scraping away a layer of soil several meters thick from the ground.

The purple star burst forth from the rain of pebbles, its momentum undiminished, and slammed straight into the mountain demon's chest. The mountain demon let out a painful roar, its thousand-foot-tall body being knocked back more than ten miles.

Tianhao was already engaged in battle with the mountain demon. The nine Haoyang Pearls rose into the air at the same time, exploding with white light and bombarding the mountain demon one after another.

The mandrill was forced to retreat repeatedly by the blast, but its thick skin and scales, though cracked, quickly healed.

Its eyes shot out a dark red light, heading straight for Tianhao. He raised his hand and summoned the Azure Sun Spirit Shield. The crimson-gold fourth-tier defensive magic weapon withstood the attack head-on. The red light exploded on the shield's surface, but Tianhao remained unmoved.

He reversed his hand and activated the Purple Dragon Pattern Chariot. The chariot once again transformed into a purple meteor, slamming into the mountain demon's chest and sending it flying, crashing into half of the mountain wall.

Just as it was about to retaliate, another purple star crashed into it from the side, slamming into its ribs. This time, the mountain monster was sent flying, its thousand-foot body rolling more than a dozen times on the ground, crushing all the hills along its path.

Lin Zhao has made his move; there are still tens of millions of barbarian mortals within a radius of a thousand miles.

Although they have been brainwashed into believers of demonic beasts, and although they look at every cultivator with hatred, they are still human beings after all.

It was because it was kept in captivity by the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Lord's Palace that it turned into this state.

Lin Zhao could not bear to watch tens of millions of mortals be swept up in the aftermath of the battle and turned to ashes along with the mountain demons.

Tianhao saw the trajectory of Lin Zhao's purple meteor from inside the chariot, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Why was the Heavenly Law Divine Sect able to gather so many cultivators from other continents to attack the Myriad Beasts Spirit Venerable Mansion?

It's because the things done by the Myriad Beasts Spirit Lord's Palace were so inhumane.

Most normal people wouldn't just sit idly by and do nothing.

But Lin Zhao's blood never cooled down.

The two took turns using the Purple Star to strike the Mountain Demon, forcefully sending it flying hundreds of miles away from the core area of ​​the tribe, crashing into a desolate, uninhabited mountain.

Only then did they truly unleash their full potential.

The nine Haoyang Pearls had their essence depleted when they fought the Hou in the Endless Demon Sea. Now, Tianhao had used some secret technique to fully restore them—the nine pearls formed a circle and lit up at the same time, turning the entire desolate mountain into daylight with their white light.

The Haoyang Domain unfolded, and the nine precious pearls transformed into nine white suns, simultaneously striking the mountain demon and blasting it away, shattering half a mountain.

Lin Zhao drew the Starry Sky Rift Sword, its blade shimmering with blue and silver starlight. A hundred-foot-long sword aura sliced ​​through the mountain demon's left shoulder, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound, and simultaneously severing one of its arms at the shoulder.

The severed arm crashed to the ground, creating a deep crater. Dark blue-green blood gushed from the wound, corroding the ground and emitting hissing white smoke.

But the Mountain Demon was, after all, a being that was about to advance to the fourth rank. It roared and slammed its palms on the ground, connecting its spiritual power with the earth.

Countless earthen walls rose from the ground, layer upon layer, surrounding it. Each earthen wall shimmered with a yellowish-brown spiritual light, and was over a hundred feet thick.

It wanted to use this earth-based magical power to buy itself a chance to breathe.

Tianhao didn't give it a chance. He activated the Purple Dragon Pattern Chariot, and all the dragon patterns in the purple crystal core were activated, transforming into a Purple Dragon Pattern Spear hundreds of feet long in front of the chariot.

A purple dragon-shaped phantom coiled around the spear, its head opening its massive mouth at the spear tip.

The Purple Dragon Pattern Spear flew through the air, instantly piercing through more than a dozen earthen walls, and fiercely nailed into the mountain demon's chest, pinning its thousand-foot-tall demonic body firmly to the ground.

Nine Haoyang Pearls shot out simultaneously, countless white beams of light pouring down on the mountain monster, creating one bloody hole after another. The mountain monster struggled frantically in the rain of beams of light, while earthen walls rose up around it and were shattered by the white light.

The area within a hundred miles began to melt under the high temperature of Haoyang Domain. Rocks turned into magma, trees turned to ash instantly, and everything was transformed into a white sea of ​​fire.

The white light dissipated, and the nine Haoyang Pearls flew back into Tianhao's hand. He was slightly out of breath, having consumed a considerable amount of spiritual energy.

"This beast is tough and thick-skinned, and it has quite a few supernatural abilities."

Before he finished speaking, the mountain monster stood up again, and the bloody holes on its body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its severed arm grew back.

The Undying Body – This supernatural ability is normally only possessed by fourth-tier demonic beasts. As long as their spiritual power remains intact, their demonic bodies can continuously regenerate.
