Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 433: War Begins
quiet!
The sky is clear, the earth is peaceful, birds don't fly, and insects don't chirp.
The entire Soul-Devouring Sect was in a state of extreme silence. The Nine Bends and Twenty-Seven Mountains, the sect's mountain, and even the lonely city that was once bustling with noise were all plunged into an eerie silence.
Even outside the sect, it was still quiet, as if... a storm was about to come!
An invisible feeling of oppression enveloped the area, and boos could be heard within a hundred thousand miles!
Until, on the top of the sect’s mountain, Gu Xiaoxing, who was sitting cross-legged in the air, slowly opened his eyes. He looked ahead, towards a high place a thousand miles outside the sect.
There, a flame lit up out of nowhere, and as it burned, it turned into a cicada. The cicada did not spread its wings and fly, but stayed there, as if it had mistaken the void for a tree trunk and was clinging to it.
The next moment, the sound of cicadas began to chirp. It was just the chirping of one cicada, but it added a kind of noise to the silent space.
The sound of the cicadas traveled thousands of miles and reached the Soul-Devouring Sect. Even the Nine-Curve Mountain Formation could not block it. Whether in the Soul-Devouring Sect or the Lonely City, everyone heard the sound of the cicadas.
Immediately, a burning sensation rose from the inside out, from everyone's body, and became stronger and stronger!
"Another one playing with fire?"
Gu Xiaoxing said calmly: "Using sound to cross fire is quite interesting."
In just a moment, Gu Xiaoxing saw through the opponent's tactics. They were using the sound of cicadas to cast a spell and divert the dark fire. Even the formation could not block it. Anyone who heard the sound would be affected by the spell and the dark fire would be generated within, and in the end, they would spontaneously combust and could not be stopped.
"Your technique is indeed brilliant, but dark fire is still dark fire. I will crush it with the sound of bright fire, and it will collapse without any attack!"
As soon as Gu Xiaoxing finished speaking, he raised his finger and pointed out a black talisman. The talisman burned with blazing black flames, soared into the sky, hovered in the sky, and finally, turned into a bird!
A huge bird burning with black flames, it is shaped like a Vermilion Bird, with its wings spread high in the sky. It exudes a terrifying and majestic aura, especially its eyes, which are as sharp as knives and look straight ahead thousands of miles away.
This bird was the innate spiritual talisman that combined the Vermillion Bird's soul and the Vermillion Bird's true flame. Although it looked like a Vermillion Bird, what was burning on its body at this moment was not vermillion flame, but a black flame.
This can no longer be called the Vermillion Bird; perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it the Black Bird.
When the black bird flew into the air and spread its wings, a loud and clear cry suddenly arose. It did not have the hidden fire of a cicada's cry, nor did it have that kind of skill.
Yes, but along with this sound, an extremely violent and burning breath gushed out, and it crushed forward in an almost brutal manner.
Instantly, the sound of cicadas in the entire Soul-Devouring Sect and the lonely city disappeared, and the burning sensation from the inside out also subsided, and everyone felt relieved.
But to the cicada insects thousands of miles away from the sect, they only felt a heat wave accompanied by the chirping of black sparrows, coming like a tidal wave and engulfing them in an instant.
Suddenly, the cicada flashed and turned into a human form. It was a middle-aged man. He looked at the Soul-Devouring Sect and at Gu Xiaoxing on the sect’s mountain with a gloomy face.
Gu Xiaoxing was also looking at the other person. To him, a distance of a thousand miles was just a short distance. Even the three hairs growing on the tip of the middle-aged man’s nose were clearly visible.
"It's consistent with the intelligence. The Soul Devouring Sect does have a master in charge."
The middle-aged man with hairy nose murmured, his eyes showing both relief and confusion, "Nascent Soul cultivator? Did you hide your cultivation?"
He didn't believe that something summoned by a Nascent Soul could easily break his Cicada Singing technique, and he even less believed that a Nascent Soul could kill Lord Shen Dan who was in the Spirit Transformation Realm!
At this time, Gu Xiaoxing also spoke. He smiled faintly at the middle-aged man and said, "Since you are already here, why bother to create a clone to test it? Is it interesting?"
Suddenly, above his head, a black bird moved as it pleased, spread its wings, and swooped down.
The middle-aged man opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but Gu Xiaoxing had no interest in talking to a clone. For the black bird, a distance of a thousand miles was within reach by spreading its wings, and it arrived in an instant at an unbelievable speed, directly hitting the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man seemed to know that he could not dodge the attack, so he simply did not dodge and turned into ashes in the black flames of Black Sparrow.
When the black bird flew back, the world became quiet again.
But Gu Xiaoxing still looked outside the sect and said, "Are you still unwilling to come out?"
"As you wish!"
A rather majestic voice sounded.
The next moment, tremendous pressure suddenly descended, and three figures appeared outside the Soul-Devouring Sect's Nine-Curve Mountain Formation. One of them was a middle-aged man with three hairs on the tip of his nose.
But the leader was a young man.
This person is Shen Mujun, who was once ranked seventh on the Xuantian Yuanying List!
Many people in the Soul-Devouring Sect saw this scene and were horrified. While they were excited that their Sect Master was becoming increasingly powerful, they also lamented that the invading enemy was not simple.
Those three people were clearly just standing there, but the power they exuded made everyone in the entire sect feel as if their hearts were being controlled by someone.
But in the Soul-Devouring Sect, people's eyes did not waver, because they had the Sect Master!
Bai Xiangtian was sitting cross-legged on the top of one of the fourteen mountains on the left. Now, he was no longer a cultivator in the foundation-building stage!
His talent was not low to begin with, and with the growth of the sect and his special status, he had basically no shortage of resources for cultivation.
More than ten years have passed, and he has become a Jindan cultivator and has reached the middle Jindan stage, which means he is not far from the late Jindan stage!
Bai Xiangtian today has long lost his former childishness and has become more mature, but whenever he looks towards the top of the sect's mountain, the reverence in his eyes is still hard to conceal, and he murmurs subconsciously.
“Uncle Gu…!!”
On the other side, on the top of one of the thirteen mountains on the right, Li Wenru was also sitting cross-legged, also looking at the top of the sect’s mountain.
Her appearance is the exact opposite of Bai Xiangtian. More than ten years have passed, and she seems to have not changed much. She is still as gentle and peaceful as ever.
However, the look in her eyes when she looked at the sect master at this moment no longer had the complexity it once had, nor did it contain any admiration, only a deep respect.
However, her cultivation is even higher than Bai Xiangtian's, and has already reached the late stage of Jindan!
In addition to the two of them, there are several elders who have reached the Jindan stage in the Soul-Devouring Sect, and most of them have completed their breakthroughs within the past ten years!
This time, we have to thank the Body Refining Sect. If it weren't for their generosity and providing a large amount of cultivation resources, the Soul Devouring Sect would not have been able to grow so fast!
If we count the two Nascent Souls, Du Xu and Gu Nianxue, and even if we don't count the sect leader Gu Xiaoxing, the only sect that can be compared with the Soul-Devouring Sect is the Sword-Controlling Sect!
If the sect master is included, the sect has already surpassed the Sword Controlling Sect by an unknown amount!
At this moment, all the Jindan elders, including the two Yuanying, were arranged on the top of the twenty-seven mountains!
As for what is insufficient, all of it will be replaced by the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment!
Gu Xiaoxing, of course, was personally in charge of the main mountain. At this moment, he looked at the three people in the distance and said with a smile, "Then let me see what kind of ability this genius who once ranked seventh on the Xuantian Yuanying Ranking has!"
Shen Mujun frowned. He looked at the rare treasure on his bracelet again. The rare treasure did not light up, which meant that there was no one in the Soul-Devouring Sect with a higher cultivation level than him.
In other words, even if the person in front of him hid his cultivation level, it would at most be equal to his.
He is a genius himself, and with the help of two other people in his family who have reached the level of Divine Transformation, there is no reason for him to lose this battle!
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, waved his hand and said, "Go!"
Behind Shen Mujun, two Jindan cultivators took a step forward upon hearing his words. One of them had flames rising from his body, while the other had water vapor spreading from his body. They instantly appeared right above the Soul Devouring Sect, with both palms coming down at the same time.
Suddenly, a tremendous force of water and fire descended. If someone was hit by this blow, it would be enough to raze all twenty-eight peaks of the Soul-Devouring Sect to the ground!
But how could Gu Xiaoxing let them succeed? He opened his mouth and uttered a word, and his voice spread throughout the entire sect.
"Congeal!"
At the same time, he raised his hand, made a gesture, and pointed to the sky!
Not only him, at this moment, everyone on the top of the other twenty-seven mountains that had been arranged long ago, whether they were Nascent Soul, Core Formation, or Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, all of them were pointing to the sky!
Suddenly, beams of light shot up into the sky and combined with the huge beam of light pointed out by Gu Xiaoxing, condensing into a huge curtain that enveloped the entire Soul-Devouring Sect!
This is the enhanced version of the Nine-bend Mountain Array, a large array with three Yuanyings, numerous Dan and foundation-building cultivators blessing it together!
In particular, there is also a freak at the Five Infants stage here, who already possesses the strength of a Spiritual Transformation. At this moment, with his blessing in the formation, he cannot be shaken by a single attack from two Spiritual Transformation early stage warriors.
When the palms of water and fire fell, they only caused a slight ripple on the light curtain of the formation, and nothing else!
The two gods widened their eyes at the same time in disbelief. With a flash of their eyes, they were about to attack again.
But at this moment, a loud cry was heard, and the black bird, wrapped in terrifying black flames, swept over again. That kind of power was not much worse than that of the state of transformation of the spirit!
Moreover, a voice was heard from below.
"There is a fish in the North Sea, its name is... Kun!"
As Gu Xiaoxing made his hand gestures, netherworld fire continued to condense in front of him, and eventually condensed into a burning Kun.
Compared with its previous palm size, Kun is now more than ten feet big!
This is not only an improvement in Gu Xiaoxing's cultivation level, but also the simultaneous improvement of the Nine Netherworld Art and the North Netherworld Art after his continuous practice!
Compared to the black sparrow transformed from the innate spiritual talisman, Ming Kun was faster. He started later but arrived first, and actually arrived in front of the two spiritual cultivators before the black sparrow.
The two gods were horrified, no one expected that Gu Xiaoxing had such means. It was already a rare opportunity that he could summon a black bird with extraordinary strength, but he could actually summon a stronger big fish!
The two men tried to resist at the same time. The next moment, accompanied by a long roar, the Ming Kun crashed into the two men. The whole sky suddenly roared violently, and the two men groaned at the same time.
What followed was another cry!
