Beneath the boundless azure sky, hundred-years-old trees were uprooted as a stampede of ten thousand beasts crushed all in their path.
Each beast competed in being first and, among them, the seven dazzling lions eyed Yan Mountain’s Scarlet Tide army, where most humans were. It has been more than a thousand years since the last human sightings in these lands.
But with the appearance of so many and so suddenly, only two outcomes could be foreseen in this clash between man and beast. The savage beasts would slaughter them, or they would be conquered.
Claws tore the earth in their march towards the Scarlet Tide. From afar, it gave off the impression of a sea with its endless waves.
Chen Ming stood before the tide, a mere drop in the sea.
This was a cultivation world, and Chen Ming was an immortal, one that transcended the mortal coil!
This was by no means the Immortal realm, but the power of one.
Stars flitted in Chen Ming’s eyes, and stars left his back to adorn the sky. They shifted under an ineffable rule, mysterious and heavy. Stars were part of heaven and earth, carrying the Dao at their core.
Allheaven Stellar Array, activate!
A Star Chart spread for lis on end and beneath it, all savage beasts shivered.
Above the ground, rain began to fall, one of blood from all the butchered savage beasts!
A river of blood flowed among them.
As the savage beasts looked at the Star Chart, fear consumed their hearts.
Silence began to set in as each savage beast broke out of their charge. Chen Ming might be out of their sight, but the fear of death he let off was more than enough to petrify.
With the stop of the savage beasts, the seven Beneath Immortals golden lions grew enraged. No savage beasts were left beneath the Star Chart. The seven radiated a golden light as they charged Chen Ming, each of them as big as a hill and tall as tens of men.
Their mane hard as steel, and fangs strong enough to crush spiritual weapons.
They entered the Star Chart but the first step had them come crashing down into the ground from the pressure. They were deprived of flight, reduced to running.
They bared the full brunt of the pressure as they raised to their feet, fearless in their pursuit of Chen Ming.
Chen Ming flicked one hand and a black sea was conjured to his side. He punched and the tide surged!
He broke into laughter, “Ling Xian, look closely. This is the Conquering Immortals Art!”
Ling Xian’s eyes captured his every move as Chen Ming brandished his fist, striking a golden lion on the head.
The Conquering Immortals Art was composed of Qiongqis and Flood Dragons, filled with the intention of slaughtering immortals. A single punch left a lion coughing blood, buried in mud, and unable to get out for the rest of the day.
Ling Xian’s eyes flashed again and again, So this is the Conquering Immortals Art!
So this is the power of the true Conquering Immortals Art!
Chen Ming smiled as he held his hand, “Qingyao, give me your sword!”
She threw Obelisk into his hand and unleashed Ten Thousand Swords Become One!
The bluish broadsword tore with its strike, as it was meant to rip heaven and earth. It left a ten-meter long gash on the golden lion, blood spilling everywhere!
But the rest of the blow touched the ground, forming a chasm going on for lis on end, leaving the other five lions shivering,
Zhuo Qingyao’s eyes sparkled, “I can learn this move, Master. Not for wielding it, but to temper my sword intent.”
Chen Ming stuck Obelisk in the ground as he continued, “Suyi, your saber!”
Li Suyi threw open the saber coffin, letting Demonic Blood Saber fly in Chen Ming’s hand. He shouted, “Blood Sea!”
Demonic energy surged, Chen Ming slashed. The hit hacked the third lion, wailing as it hit the ground, motionless.
The Blood Sea spread, its endless killing intent felt incredibly tangible!
Li Suyi seemed to have caught on to something, “Many thanks, Master, for your teachings!”
Chen Ming continued, “Do not say that I only guide legacy disciples. Many among you train in Finger From Beyond. Look closely, this is the Finger From Beyond!”
The ones that trained in it had their eyes riveted on Chen Ming’s figure, watching him release its might.
Chen Ming shifted his spiritual power and the spiritual energy in a hundred li gathered on his fingertip
A gigantic blue finger formed, falling from the skies. The golden lion couldn’t endure such a blow, crumbling to the ground in blood.
The last three lions were shocked again and again. What a monster! He had the power of defeating four of them in but a flash!
The up and about lions weren’t about to wait for Chen Ming’s next strike, thinking only of escaping such torment.
Chen Ming broke in laughter at their futile attempt, “This next move is called Vanishing Immortal Sword!”
Chen Ming held a nation weapon as he turned to a lion ten li away. With a sword toss, the heavens dimmed, and clouds vanished.
With its fall, blood rained from above and another lion hit the ground bellow!
The disciples training in this exclaimed, “So that is the true Vanishing Immortal Sword! What have I been practicing?”
Chen Ming said, “Next, Master shall demonstrate other immortal arts!”
Chen Ming’s hands were on the move. Each release of an immortal art left a lion splayed on the ground, with no thought of resisting.
The Yan Mountain disciples captured the seven lions while the rest of the savage beasts were still as rocks, letting them pick other mounts among them to their heart’s content.
With his disciples’ matter done, he began building Yan Mountain’s branch ten thousand li away.
It would have been too obvious if he built it next to the teleportation array that one was nearby.
Ain’t it the same as exposing the way to the Scarlet Tide Continent?
The branch was quickly set up, holding the seven lions and many more savage beasts.
Today, Chen Ming came before the beast pen. Seeing him here, the three legacy disciples also braved entering. The lions began recovering as they bared their fangs at the three. But Chen Ming’s presence left them docile.
Chen Ming said, “You’ve all lived for hundreds of years and should be able to understand me. If not, death will cure you.”
